I have to say that as a sect that is all women, the scenery inside Jinghua Palace is really nice.
Obviously, the managers of Jinghua Palace spent a lot of energy on this.
It's a pity that Qin Yi now has no intention of enjoying the scenery along the way. He only wants to reach Huangfu Ming's residence as soon as possible.
Huangfu Ming's residence is at the northernmost part of Jinghua Palace. Going from the mountain gate is equivalent to passing through the entire Jinghua Palace.
Fortunately, everyone's cultivation is not weak, and it doesn't take much time to move forward at full speed.
Soon, the girl who led the way brought Duanmucheng and Qin Yi to a magnificent mansion.
The gate of the mansion looks majestic. Even in Jinghua Palace, such a mansion is extremely rare. Huangfu Ming's status in Jinghua Palace is also evident.
"Master Huangfu is inside. I will take you here. You can go in by yourselves."
The girl who led the way turned around, explained something, and walked away quickly.
At this moment, one of the two vermilion doors of the house opened. Apparently someone inside heard the noise outside and opened the door to let people in.
Qin Yi frowned, feeling a little surprised at the other party's way of welcoming guests with only one door open.
However, he didn't care. He looked at Duanmucheng and walked in directly.
After entering, Qin Yi was also shocked by the internal architecture and furnishing layout. It must be said that Huangfu Ming is really a master who knows how to enjoy himself.
The two of them walked in tandem and soon arrived at the living room of the house.
The hall was empty, and not a single person was seen. After the two entered, there was not even a person to entertain them.
Fortunately, Qin Yi and Duanmucheng were not careless people, and they sat down silently, waiting for the other party to appear.
A moment later, a slender figure walked out of the inner hall in a leisurely manner. This man was obviously the senior brother Huangfu Ming mentioned by Duanmu Cheng.
I have to say that Huangfu Ming's youth is really beyond Qin Yi's expectations.
As Duanmucheng's senior brother, there is no doubt that he should be older than Duanmucheng.
But there was not a single wrinkle on his face, not even a single gray hair. He looked like a man who was just thirty years old.
He was wearing a Taoist robe with a yin and yang pattern, and he had a tall and straight figure, quite the demeanor of an outsider.
After Huangfu Ming appeared, his eyes were always sizing up Duanmucheng. After a moment, he said calmly: "Junior brother, I really didn't expect that after not seeing each other for so many years, you would be so old."
There was no hint of concern or worry in these words. Instead, they gave people an extremely mean and bitter feeling. Qin Yi's good impression of him disappeared in an instant.
By this time, he could naturally see that the relationship between master Duanmucheng and this so-called senior brother was not as friendly as Qin Yi had imagined before.
It's even possible that there is some quarrel between these two people.
Duanmucheng glanced at Huangfu Ming and said, "You don't have to worry about my affairs."
Huangfu Ming chuckled and said: "Junior brother, I didn't expect that after so many years, you still haven't changed your old habits."
Duanmucheng retorted: "I always follow my own thoughts when I speak and act. What does it have to do with you?"
Huangfu Ming was not angry at all. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and sat down gracefully. Soon, a maid made a cup of tea and delivered it to him.
Picking up the tea cup, Huangfu Ming took a sip and then showed a very comfortable expression, as if he was enjoying it very much.
Duanmucheng stood up and said in a cold voice: "I'm not here just to see you pretending to be here! Take out your broken spirit grass!"
Huangfu Ming put down his teacup calmly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Broken Spirit Grass? I don't have such a thing."
Duanmucheng sneered and said, "If someone else said this, I would believe it. But if you say you didn't, do you think I would believe you?"
Huangfuming chuckled lightly and said, "Junior brother, you seem to be very prejudiced against me, my senior brother?"
Duanmucheng said coldly: "You should know in your heart whether I am biased against you or not. You have to understand clearly that I am not here to beg you this time! Hand over the Broken Spirit Grass!"
Huangfu Ming smiled lightly, and then turned his attention to Qin Yi: "Is this your disciple? He is really young."
For some reason, when he felt Huangfu Ming's gaze, Qin Yi suddenly felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast, and felt uncomfortable all over.
Obviously, Huangfu Ming didn't have any good intentions towards him.
When Duanmucheng saw Huangfuming noticing Qin Yi, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Huangfuming, I advise you, it is best not to have any ideas about my apprentice. Don't think that because you are a senior brother, you will be better than me."
How awesome is that?"
Huangfu Ming chuckled and looked away calmly. Then he picked up the tea cup on the table and took a careful sip: "Junior brother, don't worry, the past has passed. What happened back then, I
I won't do it again. What's more, I also have disciples now, so I may not lose to your disciples."
Duanmucheng chuckled and said, "I don't know what kind of disciple your disciple is. But this disciple of mine, even among your ten disciples, is still not as good as him."
As he spoke, a look of pride appeared on Duanmucheng's face. He originally wanted to take the Broken Spirit Grass directly, but when he mentioned his apprentice, he couldn't help but change the topic to this.
When Huangfu Ming heard this, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and then he placed the tea cup heavily back on the table: "So, you want our disciples to compete?"
Duanmucheng shook his sleeves vigorously and said: "No need. When it's time to compete, I will naturally let you see it."
Huangfu Ming smiled faintly and said: "So, do you, Yin Yang Academy, plan to participate in this sect disciple assessment?"
Duanmucheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why don't you participate?"
Huangfu Ming said: "That's fine. I have to say, I'm really looking forward to how your disciple will perform."
Duanmucheng waved his hand and said: "Stop talking nonsense and bring me the Broken Spirit Grass!"
Huangfu Ming smiled and said: "Junior brother, you and I haven't seen each other for a hundred years, shouldn't we reminisce about old times? Why are you so anxious to leave?"
Duanmucheng sneered and said, "You and I have nothing to say."
Huangfu Ming shook his head and said: "I can give you the Broken Spirit Grass, but I have a condition."
