Chapter 91: Huaqing Sect arrives

Qian Cai died.

The power of the Deputy Branch Master had to be redistributed.

The original Dharma Transmission Hall was given to Zhang Yang, and the remaining few halls were split equally between Li Rui and Zhou Rui.

Ge Hong got nothing.

Dao Xiong's intention was very clear: he didn't want any Deputy Branch Master to become too powerful.

The previous Zhao Wei was because his future was bright, and with Tang Sheng's strong support, Dao Xiong also had the idea of making friends, so he didn't want to offend him, which was why he had such treatment.

Otherwise, as a Branch Master, he had to understand the way of balance.

Only in this way could he better control the few Deputy Branch Masters and prevent being sidelined.

Ge Hong already held the Loyalty Hall and the Civil and Martial Arts Hall, the two most important halls, and several other fields; his power was already the greatest among the few Deputy Branch Masters.

The dust settled.

"Brother Li, we brothers are truly destined."

Wu Tu carried two pots of wine and came to Li's residence.

Along with Wu Tu, there was Deputy Branch Master Zhang Yang.

Li Rui chuckled: "Come if you want, why bring wine."

Saying this, he welcomed the two in.

He had pushed away all the banquets outside, but that was on the surface; small circles in private were still very necessary.

You need to be low-key, but you don't need to be completely closed off.

Wu Tu was in a very good mood.

The field he was in was assigned to Li Rui's side, and from now on, he would never have to look at other people's faces again; this was a great joy for him.

Just got the news, and he couldn't wait to come to the door to please his "new superior."

"This wine was buried when I just washed my hands in a golden basin; I originally thought about drinking it in a few years, but today is an auspicious day, so the two elder brothers must taste it well."

Wu Tu said.

He tore open the jar seal.

Gurgle, gurgle, he poured two large bowls, the wine was light yellow, and the fragrance overflowed.

Drinking in ancient times was almost all yellow wine.

Although it was easy to get people drunk, it also had a unique taste.

Li Rui had been here for so many years and gradually liked this sip, so he took a sip from the wine bowl.

"Sip, good wine."

Hearing Li Rui's praise, Wu Tu finally felt relieved.

Brothers are brothers, superiors are superiors, but they can't be mixed up.

It was true that his friendship with Li Rui was deep, but he also knew that he couldn't cross the rules, otherwise this brotherly affection wouldn't be preserved.

What should be done couldn't be less.

For example, pleasing the superior's life preferences.

Zhang Yang had no such reservations; he laughed heartily and drank a bowl of wine in one gulp: "I'm just here to sponge off the wine; I'll drink whatever, good or bad."

Immediately.

He swept a glance at Li Rui's courtyard.

An old man not much younger than Li Rui, a dark-skinned boy.

"Brother Li, I happen to have two good girls redeemed from the Teaching Division; how about I send them to your residence?"

He had heard that there was a seventy-year-old martial arts hall master in Qinghe who took seven or eight concubines and gave birth to several fat sons.

The sons were younger than the grandsons, which was talked about for a long time in the tea and after-dinner conversations in the alleys of Qinghe.

Li Rui shook his head: "I like quietness."

"Follow Brother's wishes."

Zhang Yang didn't dwell on it much.

Li Rui didn't mind the red sleeves adding fragrance in his old age, but he wasn't a novice in bed matters; his secrets were too many, and it wasn't easy to find people he could trust.

Secondly, women would only affect his progress in seeking immortality.

A burden.

The three drank until midnight.

Zhang Yang became interested and chuckled like a thief.

Seeing this look.

Li Rui and Wu Tu knew that Zhang Yang was going to talk about secrets again, and they pricked up their ears.

Zhang Yang was a famous expert in Qinghe, with a deep foundation, and was the most senior Deputy Branch Master in Qinghe, and even had the experience of training at the general headquarters.

Therefore, his connections were wide, and his news was well-informed.

Many messages before were heard from Zhang Yang's mouth, and they were all confirmed in the end.

"Brother Li, Brother Wu, do you still remember the matter of the Huaqing Sect entrance exam quota from the last competition?"

Li Rui nodded.

Of course he remembered.

At that time, Zhao Wei was high-spirited; besides Zhao Wei, Liu Tong was also favored by Jiang Yan and obtained the qualification to participate in the competition.

This matter shocked the general headquarters, and Liu Tong is still the number one among ordinary disciples of the Qinghe branch, receiving much attention.

But... the Huaqing Sect competition seems to be half a year away.

Zhang Yang lowered his voice: "I have some connections in the Huaqing Sect; I heard the competition has been moved forward, and the envoy is already on the way."

"Moved forward?"

This was something Li Rui didn't expect.

In the fifty-plus years he had been here, he had heard of several Huaqing Sect entrance exams.

It seemed the time was fixed every year, and the people of Qinghe had long been used to it.

This year it was moved forward.

"It's a strange thing."

Li Rui smiled faintly and took it as a joke.

According to the previous rules, Qinghe and the other three counties competed for one quota, and later with Jiang Yan's promise, this year's quota came from Qinghe, and the other three counties had to wait another year.

There were four candidates in Qinghe: two from the Blood Tiger Gang and two from the Heaven and Earth Alliance.

But later Zhao Wei died, and no one filled the vacancy.

Therefore, the Heaven and Earth Alliance only had Liu Tong left as a lone seedling.

Of course, counting it all up, it had nothing to do with Li Rui, this seventy-year-old man.

Liu Tong was Zhang Yang's brother-in-law, so Zhang Yang had always been concerned about the Huaqing Sect entrance exam, which was why he knew some inside information.

Zhang Yang added: "If there are no accidents, the one coming to our Qinghe this time should be that Elder Jiang."

Jiang Linxian!

Li Rui and Wu Tu's pupils widened instinctively when they heard this name.

Because Jiang Linxian's reputation was too loud.

Before, he was never seen, but he killed enemies from afar with a flying sword, like an immortal's method.

It made people yearn for him.

"I just don't know who will get the quota in the end."

Ten miles outside Qinghe City.

Official road.

The leaves were withered and yellow, scattered all over the ground, and were turned over by the coming and going carriage wheels, having a unique charm.

A carriage.

Caravans around avoided it from afar.

The carriage itself was nothing special; what was special were the seven or eight Huaqing Sect disciples wearing white clothes with deep blue cloud patterns on their cuffs riding horses around the carriage.

Those with discerning eyes knew that being guarded by so many Huaqing Sect disciples.

The person in the carriage must be a big shot who couldn't be offended.

Inside the carriage.

Jiang Yan looked at her father helplessly.

"Father, you are the ambassador responsible for this entrance exam; if you are not there, it is against etiquette."

Jiang Linxian had changed his usual sloppy appearance, his face was fair, lazy and casual, looking like a handsome uncle.

He chuckled:

"Yan'er, don't forget, you are the deputy ambassador; if the ambassador is not there, the deputy ambassador can preside, which is also etiquette."

"Father..."

Jiang Yan was even more helpless.

Jiang Linxian didn't care at all about this entrance exam.

Seeing this, Jiang Linxian could only surrender: "Don't worry, I will be there when the time comes; I won't miss the hour."

"That's good."

Jiang Yan nodded in satisfaction.

Jiang Linxian touched the long sword on his knees.

Saying softly:

"Stupid woman, did you really think I couldn't see it after you practiced the Evil God?"
