Meng Feiran also seemed to be relieved, put down his momentum, and said in a gentle tone: "Junior brother, I'm offended. I had no choice but to do this. I didn't want to do anything to you, but I didn't want to see you make a mistake."
Lin Jianping nodded wordlessly.
"let's go."
Meng Feiran waved his hand and turned to leave.
Shang Yunlin and others followed and left.
"Master, why do you surrender to my uncle, as if we are afraid of them?"
Xu Du was indignant, "Not to mention that Shang Yunlin and Huang Wenlan were seriously injured and have no fighting power. Even if they are not injured, with the cultivation of you and Junior Sister, plus Junior Sister Zhao, we are not afraid of them."
Lin Jianping remained silent.
Yan Yiyun smiled bitterly and said: "Silly boy, we are not afraid of your uncle and the others, but can we really fight with them? Wouldn't this be killing each other? Even if you have a normal relationship with the disciples of your uncle's lineage, you are usually the same
How can you do this if we get along day and night?"
Xu Du's expression changed, he lowered his head, and muttered a little unconvinced: "That's too cheap for them."
Lin Jianping sighed: "Although my senior brother and I are wary of each other and want to take back his authority to control the formation, no matter what, we are all thinking about the sect. To put it bluntly, it is just an internal conflict. In any case, we cannot rise to the level of a fellow sect member."
If we do this, we will not only fail the ancestors of the sect, but also greatly damage the strength of our sect. Even if we repair the sect's formation, how can we resist the enemy's attack?"
Zhao Shihuai said distressedly: "Master, you are thinking about the overall situation, but my uncle doesn't have this awareness. I think their posture just now means they really intend to kill each other with us."
Lin Jianping was silent for a while and said: "Since I have become the master of the sect, I naturally have to take more care of you and cannot be as motivated as my senior brother."
Everyone was speechless when they heard what he said.
Zhao Shihuai said: "What should I do about Mr. Chen? The disciple asked someone to repair the formation. Although it was a transaction, it was also a promise. What's more, he had promised Mr. Chen various benefits before, and now he suddenly said no, wouldn't it seem like he was breaking his promise?
.”
Lin Jianping said: "What Mr. Chen wants most is the whereabouts of the spirit stone. As long as you tell him, you won't be angry. As for Elder Keqing, since I promised Mr. Chen, no matter whether my senior brother objects or not, I will not go back on my promise. If I even do this
I have no integrity, and I am not worthy to be the leader of a sect."
When he said this, his tone was decisive.
Zhao Shihuai said: "Then disciple, go and tell Mr. Chen, don't make people wait for a long time."
Lin Jianping said: "Mr. Chen may have already rested at this late hour, so please don't disturb me. It won't be too late to talk to you tomorrow morning."
Zhao Shihuai nodded.
Lin Jianping said: "Everyone, please go back and rest early."
"Yes, Master."
All the disciples bowed to the two and left one after another.
Lin Jianping looked at his wife: "Evian, let's go back and rest. Repairing the formation the day after tomorrow will probably take a lot of energy."
"good."
Yan Yiyun said gently.
The two left hand in hand.
Soon, the night passed.
In the early morning, Chen Hao opened his eyes and showed a hint of joy.
He felt that he was on the verge of a breakthrough, and with just a little opportunity, he could enter the late stage of Qi refining at any time.
It probably only took the past two days.
Getting off the bed, Chen Hao opened the wooden window and while admiring the natural scenery in the valley, he used his spiritual consciousness to scan the Xuanguang Gate array.
In order to repair the grand formation, it is natural to get familiar with it in advance.
Under his spiritual consciousness, the Xuanguangmen formation was clearly visible, its layout, structure, changes... clearly displayed before Chen Hao's eyes.
As he watched, Chen Hao suddenly let out a sigh of surprise.
He watched carefully.
Tuk-tuk-tuk...
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Zhao Shihuai's voice came from outside the door: "Mr. Chen, are you up?"
"Get up, please come in."
Chen Haodao, with a wave of his hand, unlocked the door.
Zhao Shihuai pushed open the door and came in, carrying a small brown wooden bucket in his left hand and a food box of the same color in his right hand.
"Mr. Chen, I brought you toiletries and breakfast."
She put the bucket and food box on the table, and took out the basin with hot water, towels, toothbrushes and other items from the bucket.
Then she opened the food box, which contained steaming golden millet porridge, two boiled eggs and several exquisite side dishes.
Chen Hao was a little embarrassed: "Miss Zhao, it's too troublesome for you."
No matter what, Zhao Shihuai is also a master and actually serves him personally.
"You are a distinguished guest, as you should be."
Zhao Shihuai smiled and suddenly whispered: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen."
Chen Hao was stunned: "What's wrong?"
"After you left yesterday, my uncle brought people here and strongly opposed your repair of the formation..."
Zhao Shihuai recounted what happened yesterday.
After hearing this, Chen Hao frowned. Although he felt that Meng Feiran and others were quite hostile to him and guessed that the other party would not agree to let him repair the formation, he expected that Lin Jianping, as the sect leader, should be able to suppress it.
Unexpectedly, Meng Feiran would object with such fierce behavior, forcing Lin Jianping to compromise.
If he cannot repair it, the whereabouts of the spiritual stone will not be known.
Could it be that this trip to Xuanguang Sect was in vain?
Zhao Shihuai said: "Mr. Chen, don't worry, no matter whether you repair the formation or not, I will tell you the whereabouts of the spirit stone, and yesterday my master promised your guest elders to do the same."
Chen Hao said in surprise: "Didn't our deal fail? You still want to tell me?"
Zhao Shihuai said sincerely: "The failure of the deal is our fault. It has nothing to do with you. Naturally, we can't let you go in vain. Besides, we all benefited a lot from the exchange of formations with you yesterday. The whereabouts of the spirit stone and Elder Keqing also benefited a lot.
We apologize and reciprocate, and hope you will not be angry."
Chen Hao felt hot in his heart.
Both Zhao Shihuai and Lin Jianping are very good at being good people. Even if the deal failed, they didn't suffer any loss, which made people feel good about them.
Zhao Shihuai took out a square piece of brown paper folded from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Hao: "This is the map of the whereabouts of the spirit stone. It was originally a relic of an ancestor of our sect. I went out for training more than half a year ago and happened to pass by.
I visited the location of the map, but unfortunately I didn’t find anything. I only found a few spiritual stones you mentioned and brought them back.”
Chen Hao took it and put it directly into his pocket without opening it or checking it: "Thank you, Miss Zhao."
"Mr. Chen, you are now the guest elder of our sect. You can stay here to practice and live, or you can leave at any time. What are your plans?"
Zhao Shihuai asked, his beautiful eyes looking forward to it.
She very much hopes that Chen Hao will stay.
Not only did Chen Hao have extremely high cultivation, but he was also extremely knowledgeable in formations. If he could stay and exchange martial arts with Chen Hao, this was what Zhao Shihuai hoped for most.
Chen Hao did not answer, but asked: "Miss Zhao, you just said that your uncle and other ancient martial arts sects traded a magic weapon that can repair the formation, right?"
