After Du Wuji read a few messages, he thought for a moment and slowly shook his head, then faintly uttered two words, "Zhao Zhuan."
The cultivator who came to ask for instructions didn't know what was going on, "Would this affect the traditional friendship between the two sects?"
"Traditional friendship?" Du Zhenren gave him a cold look, "You are more than three hundred years old, and you are still so naive! If you feel it is inappropriate, the Shangzong will help shield you. You insist on being a villain... Could it be that you are dissatisfied?
Then Chen Taizhong’s sword is not fast enough?”
The immortal suddenly understood and nodded, "Thank you, Master, for your guidance. That's it."
"Don't pretend like you didn't expect it," Du Wuji said with a clear mind, then waved his hand, "There's no point in trying to flatter me, focus more on your cultivation."
The cultivator smiled sarcastically and said, "Master Mingjian, I really didn't expect it. I just thought that saying this would affect harmony."
"Only those with strength are qualified to talk about harmony, otherwise it will be fake harmony," Du Zhenren lowered his eyelids slowly, "Inform the disciples in the sect to avoid going to the Haoran Sect recently. This matter will not be solved so easily."
As soon as he finished speaking, another disciple came over and said, "Master, Qinggang Sect has sent an envoy to see the master."
"No!" Du Wuji simply waved his hand and closed his eyelids completely, "Just say that I am in seclusion. If Xiang Xiang comes to the east, I can still consider meeting... a mere envoy, what a thing!
"
The Haoran Sect was unaware of what happened at the White Camel Gate. After the cultivators had been raised for a few days, Master Huangfu began to issue tasks to them.
Most cultivators do not work as coolies in the mines, but mainly supervise the work of foreigners. People like Nanguo Yiyong even supervise the hired mining teams.
Such a life of slavery was unthinkable when they were in Qinggangmen.
Chen Taizhong rested for a few days, and then wanted to find trouble with the Qinggang Clan again, but the head of the Huangfu Academy strongly opposed his going out. "Master Chen, something big may happen recently. You can't leave quietly anymore under any circumstances."
"Tsk," Chen Taizhong said with a slight regret. "My three disciples are walking around, can't they handle it?"
In fact, he planned to take away one or two people who were walking under the sect. If it was his first time to go to Qinggang Gate and he had taken people with him, he wouldn't have rushed back halfway.
"It's too difficult to say," Master Huangfu replied very seriously, "Jinghai Marquis has said that he will send someone to handle this matter, and it's the Qinggang Sect... Can you leave?"
To Chen Taizhong's surprise, the first person he found after hearing the news was Ning Lingding.
She came here with a fairy from the Nanguo family and hadn't seen her for a long time. Her face had a bit of weathered color, but it didn't detract from her beauty. On the contrary, it made her a little more heroic.
A fifth-level immortal came to the Nanguo family, named Nanguo Junjie. He was very respectful to Chen Taizhong and said, "Thank you so much for Chen Taizhong's generous act and preserving a trace of incense for my brother Junrong."
"It's done casually, there's no need to be so polite," Chen Zhenren didn't care about these gratitudes, thinking in his heart that Nanguo Junrong has so many heirs, what kind of incense is it? "The Lord of Nanguo City and I are old friends, it's just a trivial matter."
"What looks like a small matter to Master Chen is a big deal to us," Nan Guo Junjie replied seriously.
"Stop talking about this," Chen Taizhong waved his hand, "You insist on seeing me, but to take Nanguo Yiyong back?"
"Yi Yong is also getting exercise here with the real person," Nan Guo Junjie smiled slightly and cupped his hands, "This child has suffered few hardships, and it is rare to find a safe place."
Huh? Chen Taizhong glanced at him and felt that there was something wrong. Why did he want to see me if it wasn't for this reason?
Sure enough, it was really a headache. Nanguo Junjie smiled and said, "It is also an honor for him to work for Master Chen. Seriously, I want the real person to help me with something... Although our Xingsha Nanguo family is weak, we can't let it go."
People can be kidnapped and used as slaves at will! The Qinggang Sect must give my Nanguo family an explanation for this matter."
"That's right," Chen Taizhong nodded slightly, then frowned, "You can just go and ask for an explanation. Of course I won't stop you."
This is his clear statement that he does not want to get involved in the messy affairs between Qinggangmen and the Nanguo family. Although the Nanguo family has helped him, it is not unconditional support. Why should he take chestnuts from the fire for the other party?
Nanguo Junrong thought about it, gritted his teeth and said, "The star sand from Qinggang Gate is of great use to our Nanguo family. I beg Master Chen to take action for Junrong's sake... We won't let Master Chen let your help go in vain."
."
"Nan Guo Junrong..." Chen Taizhong sighed softly, and his thoughts suddenly drifted far away.
Did Nanguo City Lord help him? He did. At least the new identity Nante gave him at that time was in Wangquan City. It was the convenience provided by the City Lord.
Moreover, Nanguo Junrong also personally came forward and invited him to be the enshrinement of the Nanguo family instead of the guest. It should be noted that Chen Taizhong was only a small immortal at that time, and the Nanguo family was not only a titled family, but also had more than one jade immortal.
Even the Lord of Nanguo City himself is also a middle-level heavenly immortal. Such a master actually invites small immortals to make offerings to him. How much does this mean that he thinks highly of Chen?
Although he refused in the end, Nan Guo Junrong was not angry at all. As the saying goes, the kindness of knowing someone and meeting him is nothing more than this, right?
Seeing Chen Zhenren's dazed expression, the onlooker Huangfu Dean became anxious and couldn't help but remind him, "Master Chen, you must not agree to this, you should think twice."
Nan Guo Junjie glanced at him and said nothing. Disciples of the Haoran Sect have the right to make suggestions. What can he say?
Chen Taizhong was brought back to his senses by the shout. He glanced at Huangfu and asked with interest, "Why not?"
Master Huangfu smiled bitterly, and then spread his hands, "We share the same sect with the Qinggang Sect, the prestigious name of Xingsha Nanguo. I also admire it, but, but... they received the title of the royal family."
Except for a few exceptions, most of the titled families are titled by the royal family. His statement seems a bit redundant, but in fact, not all titled families are close to the royal family.
What Huangfu wants to say is that Xingsha Nanguo is very close to the government. We are subordinates of the sect. It is politically incorrect to help the government's forces deal with subordinates of the same sect. Just like the disciples of the Lan Yu Sect, we will not cooperate with Prince Feng's Mansion.
Looking for trouble with Chen Taizhong.
It's just that he knew that Master Chen had an old relationship with the Nanguo family, so he couldn't explain it clearly.
Chen Taizhong was startled at first, and then he realized what this meant. His political sensitivity was not high, but he still understood the words "together we serve the same emperor."
You can't help outsiders deal with your own people! Chen has always been very sensitive to mountains.
So he looked at Nan Guo Junjie and twitched the corner of his mouth, "You have heard this reason... I'm sorry, let's change the conditions."
Nan Guo Junjie pondered for a moment, nodded, and tried his best to force out a smile, "But I didn't think too much. In this case, I take the liberty to ask... Chen Zhenren seems to have plans to continue to fight against the Qinggang Sect.
?”
Chen Taizhong glanced at him, pondered and nodded slightly, "I have this plan, but to outsiders, I will not admit that I have this intention."
"Then after Master Chen gets the star sand, can he give some to my Nan Guo family?" Nan Guo Junjie's eyes lit up and he spoke hurriedly, "The price is negotiable."
"This... I can't promise you now," Chen Taizhong hesitated, but did not give a definite answer. The Haoran sect also lacks star sand.
In fact, star sand is really a good thing, and most cultivators can use it, but it was relatively rare in the past, and some people didn't dare to take this idea.
At present, the star sand discovered in the Netherworld is not much, even if it is a lot, there is no need to worry about sales. As long as the price is about the same, there are many cultivators coming to buy the star sand.
For example, the Haoran sect needs star sand, and the same sect's Longshan also needs star sand. For sword cultivators, adding some star sand to the flying sword is not only stable, but also less likely to be damaged.
As for the Wufeng Sect, the lower sect of the same sect, they need star sand even more. The Wufeng Sect follows the path of "heavy weapons but no sharp edges, large ingenuity but no craftsmanship", so the heavyness and hardness of the star sand are exactly what they need.
If you really want to care, Haoran Sect doesn't really need Star Sand.
Therefore, Chen Taizhong really couldn't agree to the other party, but he didn't insist on saying anything, "It depends on the situation, and I will try to leave as much for you as possible."
"Then I'd like to thank Master in advance," Nan Guo Junjie smiled slightly and raised his hand to him, "I wonder if Master has any other instructions?"
"No," Chen Taizhong shook his head, and then waved his hand, "Nan Guo Yiyong will let him go after he has finished his work. There is no need for him to stay here all the time."
"That's not necessary..." Nan Guo Junjie was about to say anything more, but when he saw Master Chen's brows furrowed slightly, he immediately didn't dare to say any more, as others had already kicked him out.
So he thanked him again, turned around and left. Ning Lingding was stunned for a moment and followed him away without saying a word.
Seeing them walking out of Xiaoyao Palace, Master Huangfu snorted coldly, "This Nan Guo Junjie is really good at calculating."
Chen Taizhong looked at him strangely, "What do you mean by this?"
"He doesn't expect us to help him make the decision for the Nanguo family," Huangfu replied with a sneer. "He's just waiting for you to refuse, the real person. Once you refuse, he can ask for star sand. It's hard for the real person to refuse him."
Second-rate."
Chen Taizhong remained silent for a long time before sighing, "The Nanguo family does need Xingsha, more than most people. Nanguo Junrong and his nephew Nante... do have an old relationship with me, and we can't push it away."
."
"There's no need to give him much," Huangfu said coldly, "After all, he's not from the same path. Master Chen, you already belong to the sect. If anything happens to you, don't count on them."
Chen Taizhong smiled slightly, "When I was a spirit immortal, I almost became a worshiper of Xingsha Nanguo family, a worshiper of the title family... Nanguo Junrong invited me, but I refused."
"Lingxian...the enshrined family's offer, refuse?" Master Huangfu opened his mouth in astonishment. With his sophistication, he really couldn't connect these three words together.
"Do you understand now?" Chen Taizhong looked at him proudly, "Brother, I am so popular, they also gave some other conveniences... I said, you still want to interfere with my decision?"
