Chapter 2043

"This is all that kid Xu Jie's idea, and it's got nothing to do with us old folks."

Huh???

Hong Zun didn't hesitate to sell out Xu Jie; as soon as his words fell, Xu Jie, who was following behind, shouted.

"Shīzūn, your words are going too far—how is this my idea? We originally discussed it together."

Given Xu Jie's nature, this blame can't be pinned solely on me.

Besides, he wasn't speaking nonsense; everyone indeed sat down and discussed it together.

But Hong Zun didn't give Xu Jie a chance to say more; hearing this, he turned and glared at Xu Jie.

"If it's said to be you, then it's you."

This ungrateful disciple, he understands less and less what it means to respect the teacher and value the Dao—he won't even take the blame?

Besides, what's wrong with taking the blame at home? It's not like I'm asking you to take it outside.

But Xu Jie isn't the type to suffer a loss; he still wanted to argue his case, but this time Hong Zun didn't give him another chance.

He simply sealed his mouth.

"Wuu wuu wuu............."

Xu Jie struggled there, wanting to speak, but he couldn't get a word out.

But there's no need for Xu Jie to say more; how could Ye Zhangqing not understand them?

Actually, no need to say; Ye Zhangqing could basically guess the whole story.

Helplessly, he said to the few people of Yun Xiantai.

"Ancestor, the Immortal Realm has basically spread this far, and moreover, quite a few people are still following me for training."

After roughly explaining the matter to everyone, upon hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, the few people of Yun Xiantai fell silent for a moment.

After coming to, Qi Xiong's first words were:

"How about we move elsewhere?"

Huh???

Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing helplessly rubbed his forehead.

"Shèngzhǔ, where could we move to?"

"Then what should we do?"

"Forget it, I'll think of a way."

After strolling around and returning to the main hall, Ye Zhangqing said to everyone:

This matter is neither big nor small; although Qi Xiong and the others have no scruples, they didn't go to extremes.

But offending so many forces at once really does hurt the liver.

But if we want to establish the Dao One Immortal Sect in the Immortal Realm, this seems to be the only option.

Otherwise, the resources are basically all allocated; if you want to come up and get a share, no one will agree.

So, whenever a new force emerges, it must be accompanied by a reallocation of resources.

This is the case everywhere, in the Immortal Realm as well as in Xia Jie.

They also specially prepared a Dong Fu for Ye Zhangqing.

That day Ye Zhangqing didn't go back; after finally seeing Bai Hua Xianzi and the others, he naturally didn't want to part so soon.

Another sleepless night; the next morning, Ye Zhangqing drank Five Yang Tea and rubbed his lower back.

After Bai Hua Xianzi and the others washed up and put on makeup, they then came to his side and spoke softly.

"My lord, are you leaving today?"

"Yeah, it's about time to go back; you all come with me."

"Okay."

Ye Zhangqing wanted to bring the ladies with him; they were naturally overjoyed and would not refuse.

Finally getting to eat the longed-for dishes, after breakfast ended, Ye Zhangqing proposed to leave.

Although the few people of Yun Xiantai were reluctant, they had no choice; besides, the distance wasn't far, so when they got hungry they could go find Ye Zhangqing for a meal.

The main issue is that the Thieves' Sect matter needs to be resolved quickly.

You definitely can't hide; when such a thing happens, you can only face it.

After bidding farewell to the Yun Xiantai group, he returned to the town together with Bai Hua Xianzi and the others.

After Ye Zhangqing left for several days, the townspeople soon appeared listless.

Each either cultivated, or in their spare time from cultivation, gathered in small groups to chat.

And the topics of their chats all revolved around Ye Zhangqing.

"Young Master Ye, how many days has he been gone?"

"Almost ten days."

"It's been that long and he still hasn't returned; nothing could have happened, right?"

"The life token is fine; nothing happened."

Everyone worried about Ye Zhangqing's safety, so they specially made him a life token.

Though safe, he still hasn't returned, leaving everyone longing anxiously.

It's been almost ten days since we last ate Ye Zhangqing's cooking.

Many were craving it badly; just as the crowd chatted, suddenly news came from the canteen that Ye Zhangqing had returned.

And he even brought his own dao companion.

At first, upon hearing that Ye Zhangqing had successfully undergone the Heavenly Tribulation and returned, everyone was overjoyed.

But when they heard that Ye Zhangqing also brought his dao companion back—and there were five of them—everyone was stunned.

Young Master Ye has a dao companion? Where did they come from?

They've been together for a while, but they were just in closed-door cultivation breakthrough before.

Huh??? I haven't heard that Young Master Ye got married.

You didn't ask either.

Who would ask about this for no reason?

Everyone was very curious about the suddenly appearing Bai Hua Xianzi and several women; this dao companion who suddenly appeared is truly surprising, and moreover, we haven't really heard Ye Zhangqing talk about them before.

Of course they haven't talked about it; over these ten years, Ye Zhangqing has been single-mindedly busy raising his cultivation.

Where would there be time to chat idly with everyone? It's either cooking or sleeping.

So, even though everyone has gotten along for ten years, actually not many people really understand Ye Zhangqing's situation.

In the canteen, Li Chengshan, Ma Lin, and several others stared dumbfounded at Bai Hua Xianzi and several women.

My goodness, Ye Zhangqing has a dao companion, and each of them is a beauty that could topple a city.

Compared to those fairies of the Immortal Realm, they are not lacking at all; this kid has really made it.

He was amazed in his heart; indeed, this kid also has some good tricks up his sleeve.

Without paying attention to Li Chengshan and the others' thoughts, after a brief introduction, Ye Zhangqing handed Li Chengshan a list.

In this list are all the forces that Yun Xiantai and them have looked after.

And among these forces, more or less there are some people currently in the town.

Some have even followed me in the Immortal Realm for several years; even if we're not close, Ye Zhangqing still has some impression of them.

Anyway, we can't avoid it; better to settle it as soon as possible.

Tonight Ye Zhangqing plans to hold a banquet in the canteen, inviting these people to chat about this matter and see how they want to handle it.

I heard Ye Zhangqing is going to hold a banquet tonight; this is the first time in ten years.

Li Chengshan and the others were somewhat suspicious, but Ye Zhangqing didn't explain, just telling them to notify these people to come to the canteen tonight.

Although Li Chengshan and them had doubts, they still nodded and agreed, and quickly went to notify the people on the list.

Not long after, the news of Ye Zhangqing's plan to hold a banquet tonight spread slowly throughout the town.

And those on the list who were invited were each excited beyond measure, overly pleased.

Ye Zhangqing is holding a banquet, and he even invited me; although many people in the town didn't receive an invitation, I did.

What an honor; for a moment I felt exalted, Young Master Ye indeed has good judgment, amidst the vast sea of people, he could see at a glance their extraordinary qualities.
