"What's wrong with me?" Su Ming smiled slightly, with a faint hint of spirit in his eyes, and took a step forward as he spoke.
The old man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks was extremely pale. He subconsciously stepped back, almost falling, as if he had seen a ghost. However, as a monk, he still had some self-control. When he stepped back, he took a deep breath and quickly squeezed out.
The smile, but that smile seemed uglier than crying.
"No...it's nothing. The junior didn't know that the senior was coming. He was still selling those discarded elixirs before. I hope the senior will be merciful and don't punish me." The old man spoke quickly, and seemed to calm down at this moment, with a hint of emotion in his words.
With the intention of begging for mercy.
"Oh?" Su Ming looked at the old man in front of him, his expression half-smiling but not smiling. When he took another step, the old man's expression changed again, and he hurriedly took a few steps back.
"Did you really tell that I am a senior, or... you... know me!" As Su Ming spoke, his eyes suddenly exploded with light. When he stepped forward again, the old man let out a scream.
, but this time he did not step back, but knelt down in front of Su Ming with a thud.
"Senior, forgive me. Senior, please forgive me. I didn't know senior before this, but just now... I suddenly realized that there was no shadow under senior's feet. Only then did I realize that you are a sect who has achieved success in practicing the Seven Life Techniques."
Senior sect." The old man trembled and spoke urgently.
Su Ming frowned and took a careful look at the old man in front of him. The appearance of this man and the previous words about selling elixirs made Su Ming's memory tumble, as if he had returned to the Fengzhen tribe and met the man.
The old man called Bei Qiong!
The old man was almost identical to the person in front of him except for his clothes. He had sold some herbs to Su Ming back then and even gave Su Ming a broken storage bag.
When Su Ming noticed this person, he didn't have much surprise. In this world that seemed a bit weird to him, the old man in front of him was not the first familiar person he met. Whether it was Tian Xiezi or that person despite his appearance
The different Deshun and Nalan Lan gave Su Ming a special feeling.
Therefore, even though Su Ming saw the old man's appearance, his expression did not change at all, and his inner turmoil was not much. He just kept it in his heart and would slowly pay attention to it.
But... the moment the old man saw Su Ming clearly before, he actually showed such uncontrollable panic, which immediately aroused a strong interest in Su Ming.
You must know that what Su Ming looks like at this moment is not him, but Wang Tao. It would be fine if this old man knew Wang Tao. But even if he knew Wang Tao before, it is impossible for him to have such a shocked expression after seeing him now.
Unless...this person had participated in Wang Tao's death, but eight years had passed. Even if he had really participated, with the old man's cultivation, he would definitely not be so lacking in concentration and be able to be...
Su Ming was so frightened that he turned pale.
There is another possibility, which is what Su Ming is most interested in. That is that this old man...maybe he really knows him, not Wang Tao, but Su Ming!
With such suspicion, Su Ming's steps in succession unleashed pressure only on the old man. Under his pressure, the old man's mind collapsed. This made it easier for him to tell the truth.
But Su Ming didn't expect that under his pressure, the old man would actually give such an explanation. This explanation seemed consistent at first glance. Even if he thought about it carefully, it was more consistent with the previous situation.
Therefore, Su Ming frowned.
And the old man knelt down and spoke hurriedly in a loud voice. The scene here had already attracted the attention of the disciples of the Qiyue Sect in the distance. Now there were many eyes on him, and some people had even rushed over.
This matter involved Su Ming's privacy. He didn't want to add any extraneous details, and there was no flaw in the old man's explanation. Su Ming looked at the old man carefully and saw panic on his face. Besides that, he also couldn't find any flaw in the old man's explanation.
There are no other clues about his expression.
"You can go." Su Ming's eyes flashed inaudibly and he spoke calmly.
The old man's forehead was already sweating. He didn't dare to get up before Su Ming spoke. At this moment, as Su Ming spoke, the pressure on him immediately dissipated. He stood up quickly, with a respectful look on his face, as if he was surviving a disaster.
There was also a trace of regret in his expression, as if he had approached Su Ming to sell the elixir before regretting it.
These expressions were also in line with his previous words. Now after standing up, the old man quickly clasped his fists and bowed deeply to Su Ming.
"Thank you, senior, thank you, senior." With that said, he turned around and walked quickly away.
"Back Qiong." Su Ming looked at the old man's back, his eyes flashed slightly, and then he suddenly spoke.
As soon as these words came out, the old man seemed not to hear them, and his steps did not change at all. When he was about to go away, Su Ming smiled slightly.
"I still have the storage bag from back then. That storage bag once belonged to you. Even if thousands of years have passed, I still have a way to capture your breath from it. You... go
Don’t fall off.”
Su Ming's words were only transmitted to the old man. The moment he heard these words, the old man's steps twitched slightly. Although he responded instantly, the old man's expression had changed. He knew that his footsteps were chaotic.
In an instant, the clue was revealed, and just when he was hesitating...···
"Sure enough, it's you!" Su Ming shouted in a low voice.
After drinking this, the old man was as frightened as a bird. He subconsciously swayed forward and ran away. However, Su Ming remained motionless from beginning to end. Seeing the old man running away quickly, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
With a smile, Su Ming had already taken a step, but at the moment he took a step, far in front of the old man, there were several figures hurriedly coming from the attic. Flying was not allowed here, so he could only walk quickly. The person at the head was a
The old man in black robes was followed by seven or eight monks.
"How brave, who dares to bully this old man and disciple like this!" The black-robed old man sneered, flicking his sleeves, and came straight to this place. Apparently someone had told him about kneeling on the back of the sky before, but now he was approaching, where was the back of the sky?
He quickly shouted for help.
"Master, help me, Master, help me... this person... this villain wants to steal the disciple's pill!!" As soon as these words came out, the old man showed no expression at all, and the expressions of the people following behind him were all expressions.
A little weird.
Most of the first-level sect members are well aware of the virtues of Back Qiong in the Qiyue Sect. If there are really villains, then Back Qiong looks more like it.
"I want to see which disciple is so bold and dares to commit murder in the sect. This is a violation of the sect's rules and will be expelled from the sect!" The old man sneered and walked out from the bluestone road in the sect's attic.
, glanced at Su Ming.
At this glance, his expression suddenly changed drastically. He took a breath and stepped back a few steps. Even the people behind him looked confused. They didn't know Su Ming. They were confused.
It was because of the change in the expression of the old man in black robe in front of him and the subconscious actions of his body.
The old man complained secretly in his heart. He had walked quickly from the bluestone road between the pavilions, so he didn't see Su Ming. He thought it was some disciple who didn't know the heights of the world and was bullying his disciple.
Therefore, he was furious, but when he saw Su Ming after walking out, his heart suddenly thumped. Others didn't recognize Su Ming, but how could he forget it.
This old man is none other than the old man surnamed Chen who guided Wang Tao in his practice when Su Ming seized his body!
Ever since Su Ming entered the Inner Sect, although the old man was somewhat resentful in the early years, he was always worried in his heart, fearing that Su Ming would come back to trouble him. Although there was a big gap in their cultivation, Su Ming became a disciple of the Inner Sect.
My identity has changed, and there are many ways to make myself uncomfortable...
But after a few years, he saw that everything was fine, and he gradually became more majestic. Especially now that eight years have passed, what happened back then has been forgotten by Su Ming for eight years, so he has almost forgotten it.
But in the end, this matter was still a thorn in his heart, and it often made him uneasy, especially when he asked around and heard that Su Ming seemed to have become a disciple of a certain elder, which made him even more frightened.
for a while.
But after all, there was no news for eight years, so he gradually buried the matter in his heart.
But now when he saw Su Ming again, everything that happened eight years ago suddenly came to mind, making his angry heart instantly turn into nervousness. Although he was not afraid of Su Ming's cultivation, he was afraid of the elder behind Su Ming.
, was extremely in awe, and there were other elders who he didn’t know who he was no matter how much he inquired, so he was even more nervous.
"Are you going to expel me from the sect?" Su Ming looked at the old man surnamed Chen and said calmly.
The expression of the old man surnamed Chen changed. Before he could speak, a middle-aged man among the seven or eight people around him suddenly sneered, pointed at Su Ming and started drinking.
"If you don't kneel down when you see Deacon Chen, whose disciple are you? Call your deacon to come over. This matter must be dealt with, otherwise..." The big man was obviously used to being majestic, and his expression was ferocious when he spoke at this moment, but
Before he could finish his words, the old man named Chen next to him stepped forward and slapped the big man, pushing the big man more than ten feet away.
"Damn, you are so brave, do you have the right to speak?" The old man surnamed Chen immediately spoke angrily, and then when he looked at Xian Su Ming, he quickly squeezed out a smile on his face, cupped his fists and bowed.
"It turns out to be Brother Wang, haha. I haven't seen you for eight years. Brother Wang is more elegant than before. Haha, I didn't recognize him for a moment. Brother Wang, don't mind." As the old man surnamed Chen spoke, he cupped his fists and bowed.
Such actions and words immediately made everyone around him startled. They all looked at Su Ming. You must know that the elder Chen surnamed was very domineering in the outer sect, especially when Wang Tao was elected to the inner sect, which made the old man follow the rules of the inner sect.
According to the sect's sect rules, after being promoted to Grand Deacon, few outside the sect would dare to provoke him.
But now...he actually seemed to look like this, which made the disciples around him start to speculate about Su Ming's identity.
