"Sir, Master Wei sent a message just now, saying that the ancestor and Sect Master Yu will arrive tomorrow."
At noon, when Wei Changtian was fishing by a small river, Zhang San hurried over from not far away and whispered the latest news.
The ancestor he refers to is Wei Zhaohai, and Sect Master Yu is a second-level master named Yu Qi.
The sect that Yu Qi belongs to is called Zhenyi Sect, and has always had a good relationship with the Wei family. He has helped the Xuanjing Division a lot in handling Jianghu sect affairs, and the Wei family has also given them a lot of conveniences in secret and overtly.
In fact, there are many other large and small sects that the Wei family has won over, but the Zhenyi sect is the one with a relatively strong relationship.
And this Yu Qi was only at the third level before, and just broke through the second level a few months ago.
Now that the sect leader has broken through to the second level, the status of the True First Sect in the world has naturally increased. Not to mention unifying the world, at least he can become a "regional overlord" in the green forest with the help of the Wei family.
But this Yu Qi is a different kind.
He is obviously an old man of a certain age, but now he has a status in the world. It is enough for him to be reasonable and be his master.
But he is a bit like Song Jiang in his previous life. He always feels that hanging around in the green forest all his life is boring. Only by wearing the purple official uniform can he really be proud of his ancestors.
Because of this, the Zhenyi Sect has always been very close to the Wei family.
But now that Ning Wenjun has ascended the throne, the Wei family has taken control of the government, and he has broken through to the second level... Feeling that the time has come, Yu Qi is finally ready to "show his grand plans", so he went straight to the capital a few days ago
Went to Wei Xianzhi to "beg for an official position".
Facing the defection of a second-level master, Wei Xianzhi was naturally delighted with the "beauty of adulthood" and asked him to fill the vacancy of the Minister of Punishment with a wave of his hand.
However, after Yu Qi took office, he was immediately sent to Huailing before he even had time to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice.
As for why he and Wei Zhaohai came...
Of course, they are here to "stand up".
"Ha~"
"Okay, I get it."
Yawning, Wei Changtian nodded, raised his hand and took back the fishing rod.
He has been sitting by the river all morning, but the fish basket is still empty. It can only be said that the fishing level is really good.
"Kekeke, Master, don't you want to fish anymore?"
Yang Liushi, who came with Zhang San, couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile when she saw this: "How come the slave family didn't see a single fish?"
"Well...I suspect there are no fish in this river at all."
With a somewhat embarrassing perfunctory remark, Wei Changtian changed the subject in time and asked: "Why are you here?"
"Oh, I'm here to call you for dinner."
Yang Liushi bent down and picked up the empty fish basket, her long skirt loosening and tightening to outline the perfect lines: "Lunch has been prepared at the military camp. If you don't want to fish, please go back."
"If you don't have any fish, just catch a feather. Let's go."
Handing the fishing rod to Zhang San, the three of them walked together to the Tengu Army company camp not far away.
As of today, the Tengu Army has been stationed by this river for four days, but there is still no movement from Ning Yongnian's side.
I guess I'm also waiting for Xu Suisui...
Looking at the puffs of smoke ahead, Wei Changtian pondered the current situation as he walked.
At this moment, a horse suddenly appeared in the distance and headed straight for the three of them.
"Young Master!"
"Senior Qin is here! He is currently in the military camp!!"
...
...
After a stick of incense, the Tengu Army took charge of the tent.
Seeing Qin Zhengqiu again after four days, Wei Changtian's expression was quite complicated.
This was still the case when he didn't know that the former had wanted to kill him.
If Wei Changtian knew that Qin Zhengqiu had murderous intentions towards him... then he probably wouldn't even be able to call him "Grandpa" right now.
"Grandpa, did Xu Suisui ask you to come?"
Looking at the old man opposite who still looked the same, but whose temperament was completely different from before, Wei Changtian asked straight to the point: "Are you going to find Ning Yongnian after meeting me?"
"..."
There was no reminiscence, no question about the Moon Sword, not even a polite word.
Wei Changtian's directness made Qin Zhengqiu stunned for a moment, and his tone was a little bitter.
"Changtian...have you guessed everything?"
"I have guessed a few things, but there are still many things I still don't understand."
Wei Changtian looked directly into Qin Zhengqiu's eyes and said slowly: "Grandpa, I know there are some things that you won't say even if I ask you, so I won't ask."
"But there is one thing that has troubled me for a long time. I wonder if grandpa can help my grandson solve it."
"..."
"go ahead."
Qin Zhengqiu's answer was obviously a little slow, probably because he was thinking about what Wei Changtian would ask.
How did you practice the Moon Sword to the Great Perfection?
What state are you in now?
Why should I obey Xu Suisui?
Are you still not yourself now?
Countless speculations flashed through his mind for a while, but in the end Qin Zhengqiu heard a question he had never expected.
"Grandpa, when I wanted to give you the real dragon's forehead scales, why did you refuse to take them?"
"..."
...
During the Feng Yuan period, Wei Changtian decided to give the True Dragon Forehead Scale to the former in order to obtain an invincible "gold medal fighter" and to prevent Qin Zhengqiu from taking the "wrong path" of using the Moon Sword to break through to the first level.
However, Qin Zhengqiu refused at that time and did not give any reason.
Wei Changtian felt at that time that Qin Zhengqiu couldn't bear to "take away" the opportunity from him, or that he didn't have a deep obsession with Yipin, so he didn't want it.
But who would have expected that the latter would immediately leave without saying goodbye and run off to practice the Moon Sword.
It seems that Qin Zhengqiu actually wants to break through to the first rank, otherwise he would not risk "losing himself" by doing so.
But in that case, why didn't he use the simple and side-effect-free method of real dragon forehead scales?
Is it really just because of the so-called family affection?
Wei Changtian has never understood the reason, but he understands that this is most likely the most fundamental motivation for Qin Zhengqiu's subsequent actions.
That's why he asked such a question after the two reunited.
As for the answer…
"..."
There was silence in the main tent. Qin Zhengqiu hesitated several times, but in the end he did not say a single word.
"Grandpa, if you don't want to, just say so."
Wei Changtian knew that he was unwilling to talk, so he didn't ask any more questions. He just shook his head and changed the topic to more serious matters.
"Xu Suisui asked you to come today, maybe because he wants to reconcile Ning Yongnian and me, right?"
"yes......"
Qin Zhengqiu nodded lightly: "Miss Xu wants you to talk to Ning Yongnian, and she will go then."
"when?"
"The time of the day after tomorrow."
"where?"
"There is Lingbo Pavilion ten miles north of Huailing City."
"okay, I get it."
Wei Changtian nodded slightly and said calmly: "Grandpa, is there anything else you can do besides this?"
"there is none left."
Qin Zhengqiu stood up silently: "Changtian, will you go?"
"go."
Wei Changtian stood up without any hesitation: "Grandpa, why don't you stay and have lunch before leaving."
"Forget it, I have to go find Ning Yongnian."
Shaking his head, Qin Zhengqiu seemed to be deliberately avoiding Wei Changtian's sight. He answered and turned around to leave.
But just as he walked to the curtain, the hand holding the curtain suddenly paused.
Without looking back, Qin Zhengqiu just turned his back to Wei Changtian and suddenly asked in the latter's doubtful eyes:
"Long sky."
"Before, you said that you met an immortal in your dream. The immortal said that the destiny of this small world can only allow one person to become an immortal, so he asked you to fight with that Xiao Feng."
