Chapter 137

~8 min read 1,401 words

Seeing Xu Jie wanting to slip away, Until Hong Zun naturally couldn't agree. He instantly put on a "kind" smile, flashed over to block their path, and asked with a smile.

"Good disciple, what were you doing running into my cave dwelling?"

Although he was smiling, Xu Jie felt endless coldness enveloping him, and even Ye Changqing behind him shrank his neck. *No, the Peak Master's smile is really a bit scary. *

"Master, I... that, this, I... oh, I went to the cave dwelling to find you, Master, but I discovered Junior Brother Changqing by accident, so I came out with him."

Although he was prepared, facing Master's majesty directly, it would be a lie to say Xu Jie wasn't nervous.

To this, Until Hong Zun sneered.

"Oh, is that so?"

He didn't believe a word of what Xu Jie said. *Go to the cave dwelling to find me? Damn, I was standing right outside the cave dwelling, and you didn't see me? *

And the "happened to meet the kid Changqing" was even more nonsense. This guy was definitely doing it on purpose.

*But how did he know the kid Changqing was in my cave dwelling? This matter had only been known to me and Qingshi all along. To be safe, I didn't even tell the other elders. *

The matter was full of suspicious points, but now was not the time to probe. What should be considered now was how to keep the kid Changqing, after all, on the side...

*Speak of the devil. * Shi Song, who had come to his senses, spoke up at this time.

"Junior Brother, what does this mean?"

His eyes were full of suspicion, and there was a faint anger in his heart. Thinking that he had actually felt he had wronged this old drunkard just now, it seemed he had given himself a slap in the face.

Facing Shi Song's question, Until Hong Zun pretended to be calm and smiled.

"Senior Brother misunderstood. This child is someone I recently prepared to take as a disciple. I didn't know much about him before, so I brought him to my cave dwelling. This should be quite reasonable, right?"

Hearing this, Shi Song looked Ye Changqing up and down, finding that he only had Golden Core Realm cultivation, and besides his appearance, there didn't seem to be anything outstanding. His first reaction was that this old drunkard was fooling him again.

He was about to speak, but Until Hong Zun spoke first.

"Senior Brother, as a peak master, taking in a disciple shouldn't violate sect regulations, right?"

He didn't know what Until Hong Zun meant, but Shi Song nodded.

In the Daoyi Sect, each peak was basically decided by the peak master, and the Law Enforcement Hall couldn't interfere at will. Moreover, taking a disciple was already a private matter, so there was even less reason to manage it.

Not only Shi Song, but even Xu Jie on the side was full of confusion. *What is Master doing? I can't understand it at all, but I feel like something is going to happen. *

Under the gaze of several people, a smile gradually appeared on Until Hong Zun's face.

"That's fine. And recently I plan to conduct some tests on this kid, so he can't go to the Near-Sea Camp for the time being. This should count as a special circumstance, right? When the test is over, I will personally send this kid to the Near-Sea Camp."

*Damn! * Once these words were out, Xu Jie was numb. He had calculated so much, but he didn't expect Master to pull the rug out from under him in the end.

Moreover, in this way, he really had no way. As for sending him to the Near-Sea Camp later, that was simply nonsense.

If he couldn't take Junior Brother Changqing away today, then don't even think about it in the future.

But Xu Jie couldn't explain this matter to Shi Song.

Hearing Until Hong Zun's words, Shi Song pondered for a moment. A Golden Core Realm disciple, whether he goes or not doesn't seem to matter.

And since Until Hong Zun had said so, he couldn't give him no face at all.

*Forget it, the matter of one or two disciples is not a big deal. *

Just as Shi Song was about to agree, a voice suddenly came.

"Master, the disciple objects."

*Huh??? *

*Seeing Shi Song was about to nod, who the hell is ruining my good deed? *

He turned his head with angry eyes. Upon seeing, Until Hong Zun was dumbfounded. He saw Zhao Zhengping, who had just come out of seclusion, walking over quickly, accompanied by Liu Shuang, Lu Youyou, and Wang Yao.

Looking at the four, combined with the various actions of this rebellious disciple Xu Jie just now, Until Hong Zun suddenly had a bad feeling. *Could it be that they also... *

At the same time, Xu Jie was also looking at Liu Shuang with a confused expression, asking what was going on and why he had brought the Senior Brother.

To this, Liu Shuang gave a reassuring reply.

A group of people were winking at each other here, and their whole bodies were exuding an aura of calculation.

"Master."

Zhao Zhengping came to Until Hong Zun with a serious expression, bowed, and then, under Until Hong Zun's puzzled gaze, said righteously.

"Master, I don't agree."

"What don't you agree with?"

*Is this kid sick? It's none of your business. You haven't even eaten the kid Changqing's food, so why are you coming here to join the fun? *

Zhao Zhengping indeed hadn't eaten the food made by Ye Changqing, but just now Liu Shuang found him and said that Master was worried about the disciples' safety and feared there would be danger at the Near-Sea Camp.

So this time he planned to hide some people in the sect.

This was a matter that violated sect rules.

Hearing this, with Zhao Zhengping's upright personality, he naturally wouldn't do it, so he rushed over immediately.

Looking at the entire Daoyi Sect, if Shi Song was an old stubborn, then Zhao Zhengping was a little stubborn.

And he had a posture of being better than his teacher. In some matters, he was even more stubborn than Shi Song, such as sect rules.

This was also related to Zhao Zhengping's growth experience. He was picked up by Until Hong Zun since he was a child and grew up in the Daoyi Sect. For Zhao Zhengping, the Daoyi Sect was his only home, so he cherished the sect more than anyone else.

Even facing his own Master, Zhao Zhengping still said without showing weakness.

"The disciple knows that Master is concerned about us brothers, but garrisoning the Near-Sea Camp is a sect regulation. Moreover, if everyone is unwilling to garrison the Near-Sea Camp, are we going to let those water tribes enter our Eastern Continent and cause trouble?"

"Since our Daoyi Sect is the leader of the righteous path in the Eastern Continent, we should naturally take protecting the people of the Eastern Continent as our duty."

"No, Master, I..."

"Since the sect regulations state that every year there is a rotation, and all disciples of each peak must go, then all must go."

"Who did you hear these from? I..."

"Master is worried about the disciples' safety..."

"Shut your mouth."

"But as a Daoyi Sect disciple, facing demons, one should fear nothing and protect the Eastern Continent."

Until Hong Zun spoke, and Zhao Zhengping also spoke. The two said their own things. In the end, Zhao Zhengping's voice actually drowned out Until Hong Zun's voice, directly leaving the old man with no temper.

"The Senior Brother is still awesome."

Facing this scene, Liu Shuang, Xu Jie, and others were not very surprised. After all, the number of times the Senior Brother and Master quarreled was not small, especially when the Senior Brother was stubborn, even Master couldn't do anything about him.

Scolding didn't work, and hitting didn't work. How to say it? It was like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard.

Saying so might be a bit too much, but the fact was just like that. The Senior Brother was such a strong person.

"What is the situation now?"

At this time, Xu Jie also asked Liu Shuang via voice transmission.

"A little backup prepared, fearing you couldn't handle it."
