Grand Elder Qiu Shan, one of the three powerful people in Jian Zong Talin.
Because Yan Changge was away from home all year round, Fengmanlou retreated to the Jianzong Pagoda.
Therefore, the person currently in charge of many affairs in the Jianzong Tower Forest is the Great Elder Qiu Shan.
Ye Guchen slowly raised his brows and looked at the Great Elder of Sword Sect Talin.
It has to be said that the aura that sinks as deep as the sea is indeed far from what Gu Tuo and his ilk can match.
This kind of aura is similar to that of Xuan Taiyi, the previous master of Sun and Moon Hall of Wuji Sword Sect.
They are all strong men who have half-stepped into the divine realm.
However, when he first entered the Jianzong Pagoda Forest, Chu Qingchi had warned Ye Guchen that the Great Elder was quite critical of him monopolizing the Venerable Cave.
So Ye Guchen was secretly wary of Qiu Shan at this moment.
He even believed that Gu Tuo had secretly received Qiu Shan's signal and came to test his background.
Just when Ye Guchen was looking at Qiu Shan, the great elder also turned his attention to him.
Although Qiu Shan's hair and beard are all white, his skin is as smooth as a baby's and his eyes are bright. He doesn't look like an old man at all.
At this moment, he looked at Ye Guchen, and his face did not show any doubt or disgust. Instead, he said with a faint smile: "Sure enough, a hero comes from a young age. At such a young age, his sword skills are not weaker than Gu Tuo. I will definitely be like him again in the future."
He is the pillar of our Sword Sect Talin."
Um?
After hearing Qiu Shan's words, Ye Guchen slowly frowned.
Although Qiu Shan's words seemed to be praising him, he changed the subject and did not mention anything about Gu Tuo's injury just now.
"Qiu Shan, Gu Tuo is a member of your lineage. He just did this. What do you think?" Feng Manlou said in a calm tone.
Qiu Shan's expression did not change, he shook his head and said: "This Gu Tuo is indeed the same. As an elder, he actually made such a ridiculous promise to fight. I will let him go to the Reflection Cave and face the wall to punish him."
“Reflection Cave!”
After hearing what Qiu Shan said, many disciples below started talking about it.
Generally speaking, the Reflection Cave is a place of punishment for disciples who have committed crimes. This is the first time for the elder to enter.
But when Ye Guchen heard these words, his heart suddenly sank.
On the other side, although Gu Tuo's face was extremely ugly, it was obvious that the situation was much better than he expected.
As an elder, if you release your true energy during a fight and harm your disciples, it is natural that you should be punished severely if something like this happens.
But it is obvious that Qiushan is protecting Gutuo.
But the disciples in the inner and outer courtyards were talking about the great elder's wisdom, because this was the first time an elder had entered the Reflection Cave. Many disciples thought that Qiu Shan treated elders and disciples equally.
"Qiu Shan, is this level of punishment appropriate?" Feng Manlou said in a cold tone.
"Afterwards, I will give him a good warning and sort out his disordered zhenqi tendons." Qiu Shan said calmly.
But his words obviously admitted the absurd statement Gu Tuo said before that the true energy was out of control.
The two powerful men from Jian Zong and Talin had a calm tone, but they had hidden edge.
"Qiu Shan, you can take care of yourself." Feng Manlou's footsteps flickered, and the next moment, he was in front of Ye Guchen.
"Senior." Ye Guchen slightly arched his hands.
Feng Manlou didn't say much. He stretched out his hand and patted Ye Guchen's junior. An extremely pure and warm Qi was poured into his body. After circulating in his veins for several days, Ye Guchen was completely beaten.
All serious injuries and accumulated injuries in the body will be resolved.
Not only that, most of his heavy injuries have also recovered.
"Thank you, senior!" Ye Guchen clasped his fists and his eyes were filled with joy.
Feng Manlou's move was more effective than any top-quality medicine.
After that, Ye Guchen only needs to take some precious medicine to regulate his condition, and the injury will be cured in a short time.
In mid-air, Qiu Shan saw this, his eyes showed deep meaning, he raised his hand, and several radiant medicinal plants fell towards Ye Guchen.
"Ye Guchen, take these top-quality medicinal herbs and recover from your injuries as soon as possible." Qiu Shan said with a faint smile.
"You are indeed a great elder, so kind."
"Yes, the Great Elder has always cared about us disciples. With the Great Elder Qiu Shan leading us, there is no reason why our Sword Sect Talin cannot grow stronger."
Seeing Qiu Shan's behavior, the surrounding disciples started talking again, but it was obvious that they were all praising Qiu Shan.
Ye Guchen took the elixir, his expression remained unchanged, and he looked at Qiu Shan and said, "Then Ye... thank you... Great Elder for your kindness."
Ye Guchen emphasized the word "Thank you" slightly.
It has to be said that Qiu Shan is far from being comparable to Gu Tuo in terms of his cultivation and scheming.
A few light words not only saved Gutuo, but also established his image, making people feel respectful.
Such skill made Ye Guchen admire him from the bottom of his heart.
"Ye Guchen, recover from your injuries as soon as possible. After all, there will be a ranking match in the inner court in two months. You have received special care from Feng Manlou and become the fifth in the inner court. But if you don't have the strength to match it, you will
Sometimes it will inevitably make other inner courtyard disciples feel resentful." Qiu Shan changed the topic.
"Here we come..." Ye Guchen's eyes dimmed, these words were Qiu Shan's real purpose.
Sure enough, as soon as Qiu Shan said this, the disciples in the outer courtyard were fine, but the disciples in the inner courtyard, including Li Lingxiao and Teng Jingshan, all looked at Ye Guchen and Feng Manlou with doubts and disdain.
At Qiushan Pass, Feng Manlou gave Ye Guchen some special care.
"Qiu Shan, Ye Guchen is the first in the elite association and the fifth in the inner courtyard. Do you have any objection?" Feng Manlou put his hands behind his back and looked at Qiu Shan with empty eyes.
Qiu Shan's white eyebrows condensed slightly.
Although he had half-stepped into the divine realm, he was still a little wary of Feng Manlou, who had realized the unity of man and sword.
"I have no objection, but Ye Guchen is now completely exhausted. Even if he occupies the fifth rank in the inner court, he still cannot convince the public. As the Great Elder of Talin of the Sword Sect, I cannot only take care of one person, but also need to take care of everyone.
, these little guys in the inner courtyard must have some resentment in their hearts."
Qiu Shan's words were so clear and reasonable that he almost pulled the entire inner courtyard disciples to oppose Ye Guchen.
Ye Guchen could even feel that the inner courtyard disciples, including Li Lingxiao and Teng Jingshan, were looking at him with hostility.
After all, once Ye Guchen comes, all the disciples after fifth place will be ranked one lower.
With just a few words from Qiu Shan, Ye Guchen fell into isolation in the inner courtyard.
"Are you using such scheming methods just to get the venerable cave behind me, Qiu Shan..." Ye Guchen felt cold in his heart and looked at Qiu Shan.
If only he was hostile to the disciples in the inner courtyard, Ye Guchen even saw Li Lingxiao and others casting dissatisfied and questioning glances at Feng Manlou.
Obviously in their eyes, Feng Manlou was favoring Ye Guchen.
This has some impact on Feng Manlou's reputation in the Jianzong Pagoda Forest.
Ye Guchen may not care about himself or his ranking, but he cannot care about Feng Manlou's appreciation and suggestions for him.
Listening to the vague discussions of many disciples and elders around him, Ye Guchen stepped forward with a cold look in his eyes.
This move also attracted everyone's attention.
"Elder Qiu Shan, why are you beating around the bush? Don't you just want the venerable cave behind Ye?" Ye Guchen spoke directly without any hesitation.
As soon as these words came out, a group of people's eyes showed surprise.
The Venerable Cave indeed made many people jealous, but they only dared to talk about it behind their backs.
Because this was what Feng Manlou personally promised to Ye Guchen.
"Ye Guchen, what do you mean by this? I'm just discussing the matter." Qiu Shan didn't care and didn't even get angry.
Ye Guchen smiled coldly and said directly: "Since the Great Elder discusses matters, Ye will also discuss matters. Today, I swear an oath..."
"I, Ye Guchen, will compete in the inner court rankings in two months. If I cannot rely on my own strength to maintain my fifth position, then..."
Ye Guchen's eyes were deep, his tone paused slightly, and then he spoke.
"Ye is willing to hand over the Venerable Cave Mansion unconditionally and withdraw from the Jian Zong Pagoda Forest. He will never step foot into the Jian Zong Pagoda Forest in this life!"
