Two people came outside the courtyard, just as the reminiscing inside came to an end, the sound stopped.
Luo Dong took the lead and stepped in, "Junior Sister Tong, Master Xu from the main peak is looking for you."
The people sitting there looked around and saw that the one in front was Luo Dong, and the other was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties, entering the door half a step behind him.
Tong Yan looked at that person and felt unfamiliar, but Xiao Lou recognized who this person was. He Zhan's master, Xu Zhen, the master of Jindan.
But what is he here to do?
Although Xiao Lou had doubts in his heart, he quickly stood up and greeted, "Senior Brother Xu Zhen."
Xiao Lou called out the person's name first. Tong Yan soon remembered who this person was, and stood up to greet him politely, "Senior Brother Xu."
As Xu Zhen walked in, his eyes passed by Xiao Lou and fell squarely on Tong Yan. At first glance, he narrowed his eyes for a moment.
"Congratulations to Junior Sister Tong for successfully advancing to Jindan." Xu Zhen said congratulations in a gentle voice.
Tong Yan twitched the corners of his mouth, showed a smile, and said nothing.
Seeing her neither arrogant nor arrogant, Xu Zhen looked at her slightly, but this was not the purpose of coming here. He quickly straightened his expression, looked at the person in front of him and said.
"This time, I am here to deliver a message on the orders of the sect master. Since the whereabouts of the young sect master have been unknown for many days, I am unable to teach you normally. The sect master is worried that you will slack off in your cultivation, so he ordered you to go to the cliff to retreat for three months after returning to the sect.
Come out again."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked shocked.
Xiao Lou looked at Xu Zhen in disbelief, frowning, "Senior Brother Xu, the sect leader really gave such an order!"
Xu Zhen looked over and said, "The order of the sect master is indeed true."
Then he continued to Tong Yan, who was obviously shocked, "Junior sister Tong needs to prepare. The sect leader wants you to retreat immediately."
Luo Dong, who brought the people here, never expected that Xu Zhen came here to find Tong Yan and actually wanted to take her to the solitary room, and he did so immediately, considering that she had just arrived at the sect less than an hour ago.
So impatient.
But why did the sect leader punish Tong Yan?
Luo Dong couldn't figure it out, "Uncle Xu, I dare to ask the sect master why he gave this order. What mistake did Junior Sister Tong make?"
Cliff, the entire Demon Temple Sect, can be called Cliff. It is the only place of confinement. Disciples who have made serious mistakes in the sect are often imprisoned to punish them.
Now that Tong Yan is required to go to seclusion, it is not a punishment.
The seriousness on Xu Zhen's face remained unchanged, and he said businesslikely, "We have no way of knowing what the sect master has in mind. I also ask Junior Sister Tong to prepare quickly and go to the cliff for retreat."
"You should give me a reason for punishing me. I should have the right to know for what reason the sect leader punished me." She just came back, she was not in the sect, and she did not violate the sect rules. This unreasonable punishment,
She didn't recognize it.
Tong Yan looked at Xu Zhen directly, insisting on asking for a reason.
Xu Zhen in front of him gave a faint smile, but there was no real smile at all, "Senior Sister Tong, if you have any doubts in your heart, you can ask yourself when the sect master comes back. My mission is just to urge you to go into seclusion."
With one hand behind his back, he had a vaguely threatening and strong posture. If Tong Yan resisted, he wouldn't mind using force to force her forward.
Tong Yan tightened her hands and pressed her lips tightly for a while before asking in a compromised tone, "Can you let me go to Penglai first? After I find the master, I will go and receive the punishment."
Xu Zhen glanced at her lightly and stated the facts calmly, "Junior sister Tong, you should know that the sect master always speaks the truth, and no one can violate his orders in the slightest."
…
Jian Zong.
Many disciples hurriedly ran to the outer door, among them the female disciples were the most numerous, muttering something to themselves as they ran.
On the way, two female disciples stopped a person and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
The female disciple who was stopped had some dissatisfaction on her face, but she was worried about something urgent at the moment and didn't want to be delayed on the road, so she patiently told the two of them quickly.
"I heard that Uncle Gu is back and is at the outer gate at the moment. I have to rush over and have a look."
The female disciple who stopped him didn't react for a moment, "Which Uncle Gu?"
"Who else could it be? Master Gu, Uncle Gu, who has been out for training for several years and hasn't come back." The female disciple looked at her suspiciously, not believing that someone didn't know Gu Yuqi.
Could it be that he is a new disciple this year?
But now is not the time to study this. After speaking, the female disciple quickly ran away.
As soon as she heard the name, she knew who this female disciple was and quickly said to her companion next to her, "Ah Ying, let's go take a look too!"
All disciples of the Sword Sect know that Gu Yuqi's life is all about cultivation. When he was in the sect, he either practiced swordsmanship or practiced in seclusion every day.
After that, he went out to practice for several years or months. Sometimes it was even more difficult to meet him than to meet the master of a peak.
He is very talented, has good understanding, and works extremely hard. He is exactly what his master calls him a disciple of others.
So when talking about him, most of the male and female disciples look at him with admiration, envy and admiration.
Of course, his majestic appearance and unparalleled appearance are also one of the important reasons why he is sought after by female disciples.
Tao Ying and her companions followed the others all the way to a place where countless disciples gathered. After looking for a long time, they saw nothing but rows of backs of heads.
This is the place where the sect submits tasks and new members register.
Because there were so many people here at the moment, Tao Ying couldn't even see the shadow of the lobby door and could only stand outside.
I heard the people in front of me talking, "I heard that Uncle Gu brought back a girl."
"Who is she and what is her relationship with Master Gu?"
"He looks pretty good, he must be one of Senior Brother Gu's people."
The female disciple heard the meaningful words and immediately exclaimed, "What nonsense are you talking about? That person must have been saved by Senior Brother Gu with his kindness and generosity. What does it have to do with it!"
"I didn't say there was any relationship between them." The male disciple pretended to be innocent.
"You! Humph!" The female disciple turned away angrily at his words, sulking alone and ignoring him.
The other female disciple was not so easy to talk to, and said in a bad tone, "How could a cold-hearted person like Senior Brother Gu have anything to do with a woman? Is she worthy? If you dare to say nonsense again, you will corrupt Senior Brother Gu.
Your reputation, be careful if we are rude to you!"
The women she spoke of were not all the female disciples of the Sword Sect, but the extreme female disciples who followed Shen Xinwan's lead.
They all agreed that Gu Yuqi would choose no one. If he wanted to be with someone, only Shen Xinwan would be a good match.
As for other female disciples who intend to get close to Gu Yuqi, they are all shameless third parties. Anyone who dares to approach Gu Yuqi without fear of death will be deliberately targeted and suppressed by them until they drive them away.
Of course, such an extremist organization did not form naturally, but was developed by Shen Xinwan, who took advantage of her status to use coercion and inducement to promote brainwashing among female disciples for a long time.
The male disciple who spoke frowned, feeling that he was just joking casually, and it was really annoying that these female disciples were going to fight and kill them.
He glanced at the female disciple behind him, said nothing, and did not intend to pay attention to her. He turned his head and looked inside.
None of the other disciples of the Sword Sect wanted to get involved in this group of troubles. These female disciples defended Gu Yuqi like crazy, denying all relatives and biting whoever they caught.
Whatever you say to them is your fault. Arguing with them is more time-consuming and has no benefit except making you feel worse.
So when you encounter them, the best way to deal with them is to ignore them.
