Chapter 14: No human favors, only accidents.
The unique nature of Feng Hou Qi Men caused this top figure in the world of supernatural beings to experience a moment of disorientation.
Commonly known as frame drops!
The old celestial master glanced at Wang Ye beside him, who was covered in sweat and panting heavily, and couldn't help but feel a strange mix of emotions.
Young people these days, they're all so good at hiding their true feelings!
The old master only tested Wang Ye once, and he roughly knew the strength of this Wudang junior, who was at least a few points stronger than Zhang Lingyu.
"Little Wang, go back and rest. Since you want to try, then do it well." The old master, with his hands behind his back, turned and walked into the room. As he reached the door, he said calmly, "You've already tried. As your senior brother, if you have any questions, come in with me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old master stepped into the room.
At the doorway, Yue Qing was standing somewhere, turning to look at the sweating Taoist priest Wang: "Junior brother, you go back first. I have some things to discuss with the Old Celestial Master."
Wang Ye wiped the sweat from his forehead, thought for a moment, bowed to the old man in the room to say goodbye, and then left the courtyard.
As for Yue Qing's conversation with the old Celestial Master, Master Wang didn't want to know. After all, Man Lan couldn't suppress the basic attack of a centenarian, and his own senior brother carried a great karmic burden. When the two of them were together, their conversation was bound to be extraordinary.
Master Wang didn't want to get involved in this fun; he was scared!
After Wang Ye left, Yue Qing stepped inside and closed the door behind him.
After bowing to the old man before him, he finally spoke, saying, "Junior Brother Wang Ye was impetuous. I apologize on his behalf."
The old celestial master sat on the couch, looking at the young man before him, and pointed to the stool beside him: "Young people are full of energy, which is a good thing, but there are some things I don't understand. What exactly is the purpose of your visit, young man? Don't tell me you also want to pick up some loot from me?"
Yue Qing shook his head, his expression turning serious.
"I have come tonight for two matters."
Tell me about it!
"Firstly, for the sake of the entire sect; secondly, for the sake of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques!"
"oh?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became somewhat subtle. In his field of vision, the old master looked at Yue Qing with a different kind of emotion in his eyes.
"You have a grudge against Quanxing, Old Lu has told me all this, and I can tell you anything you want to know... But do you also want to know the truth about the Eight Extraordinary Techniques?"
Once a word is spoken, its weight is as firm as Mount Tai.
The truth the old Celestial Master spoke of was, of course, the Jia Shen Rebellion.
For Zhang Chulan, this might be a pivotal event in his world, but for Yue Qing, he doesn't care about such things.
"Elder Master, you misunderstand. This junior has no interest in that long-buried past. If possible, I would prefer that no one knows about it; that would be best," Yue Qing said, his gaze fixed on the old man before him. "As for the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, I'm merely curious whether they can reach the heavens!"
……
Wudang.
After seeing off the company personnel, Zhou Meng did not return to Zixiao Palace, but instead followed the bluestone path to a simple bamboo house on the back mountain.
This is a place that Yue Qing built when he was a child to avoid being lazy. But ever since his master Yunlong discovered it, he has locked it up and closed the cover. He has never been lazy like this again.
Zhou Meng was not sleepy tonight. After dealing with the company's investigation, he decided to sit in this bamboo house.
The bamboo house was small, square, and single-story. Under the moonlight overhead, light shone through from all sides, making it appear rather lonely.
Zhou Meng looked at a somewhat dated diagram of human anatomy on the bamboo wall, and then inserted nine thin bamboo sticks into several key parts one by one, following the order of the small holes on the paper.
Just then, moonlight peeked in from a fist-sized hole on one side of the bamboo house, falling precisely along the bamboo sticks onto the human anatomy diagram until it was completely enveloped.
Zhou Meng just stared at him, speechless for a long time, before finally cursing, "With that bastard Zhou Sheng's comprehension, he doesn't even deserve to have mastered such a technique! He's a thief!"
The old man's voice wasn't loud, but it startled a sparrow that was perched on the bamboo eaves.
After a while, Zhou Meng locked the door and left. Looking at the bright moon hanging high above his head, he suddenly unleashed a powerful force at the bamboo building, directly blasting it down.
……
The next day.
Zhang Chulan groggily woke up from his drunken stupor. Recalling the scene from the previous night, the young man blushed more than he could say.
"Zhang Chulan! Get up now, the sun's practically high in the sky!"
Just as he was questioning his existence, Xu Si, with a cigarette in his mouth, barged in and looked at Zhang Chulan, who had just regained consciousness, with a complex mix of emotions.
"Fourth Brother, last night... I didn't do anything strange, did I?"
"You mean last night?" Xu Si chuckled upon hearing the word "last night" and glancing at Zhang Chulan's utterly dejected expression. "Well, you're truly the first person in history to do this! Coming all the way to the Celestial Master's Mansion's territory, and playing with your bird under the moon in front of so many people!"
"I must say, you're quite the character!"
Hearing Xu Si's mockery, Zhang Chulan was speechless in front of the elders of Jiangdong.
"You guys...didn't you stop me from ordering?"
"Stop them? How can I stop them? They're taking their pants off so fast... I'm already being lenient by not taking pictures."
"What? Someone's taking pictures?"
"This is the first time anyone has ever seen a young woman getting into a bridal sedan chair!"
Zhang Chulan: ……
Fake alcohol is harmful!
Xu Si took a drag of his cigarette and skipped the topic: "You little bird superman, stop dawdling and get up. We still have a game to play today."
Ten minutes later, Zhang Chulan washed up, dressed, and rejoined the group. Along the way, many people looked at him with strange eyes.
The feeling of being watched made him extremely uncomfortable.
Just like a monkey being watched in a zoo!
I feel terrible all over!
Good morning, Zhang Chulan.
"Hey, isn't this Bilian? What's wrong, you put the bird away?"
"I have to say, I'll live with this embarrassing past of yours for the rest of my life."
……
The faces of these people were all beaming with smiles of varying degrees. Even Zhang Chulan, with his thick skin, wanted to disappear into the ground at this moment.
The person is deceased and will not be disturbed. No idle chat please!
On the other side, Wang Bing listened to the noise around him, but he didn't care at all.
At this moment, his gaze was fixed on Yue Qing in the crowd.
I was careless yesterday and didn't flash it!
He's definitely going to pull off something big today, in front of everyone!
Everyone needs to know that Wang Bing is the one who will take back the Wang family's territory.
Meanwhile, in the stands of the stadium.
Wang Ai, leaning on her cane, rushed over to Lu Jin: "Brother Lu, what happened before was my fault. Look, I was even beaten by your grand-disciple. For the sake of our two families' relationship, you have to advise me against this match with my grandson!"
"Besides, the world of supernatural beings isn't all about fighting and killing. It's all about human relationships and social interactions. I didn't even make a scene about him hitting me, so you should at least let your grand-disciple show some mercy."
Wang Ai spoke with heartfelt sincerity, but to Lu Jin and the others, it didn't quite sound the same.
Wang Ai really has a thick skin!
You didn't make a scene outside, did you?
You, a senior member, got beaten by a junior; only you have the nerve to say that.
Lu Jin remained silent after hearing Wang Ai's words.
The abacus was well-thought-out, but it was of little use.
He looked at Wang Ai's old face and then said, "Old Wang, I understand what you mean. How about this, I'll pass on the message to my grand-disciple for you. As for whether he listens or not, that's not something this old man can control."
Hearing Lu Jin's answer, Wang Ai's expression improved considerably.
Lu Jin is, after all, a man of principle...
Wang Ai used to think Lu Jin's flawless appearance was just a joke, but now she sees how noble Lu Jin is.
As for whether Yue Qing could listen, Wang Ai didn't care.
Even if Yue Qing acts arrogantly in front of outsiders, he is still just a grandson in front of Lu Jin.
As a grandson, how could I disobey my grandfather?
In the ways of the world, there is no such logic.
