Chapter 3155: Making a Fuss, People Came and I Didn't See Them?

The task of summoning people has always been handled by Wu Shou; previously Qi Xiong was busy with other matters, so he didn't inquire.

Now that he had time, Qi Xiong asked casually, without giving it much thought.

Upon hearing this, Wu Shou showed no abnormality, replying calmly and naturally.

"Everything has already been settled; they should arrive successively in the near future."

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiong nodded in relief; Wu Shou's handling of affairs was steady, and he wasn't worried, unlike Hong Zun and his ilk, who never show respect for their elders.

Seeing that everything was proceeding smoothly, he had nothing left to worry about.

Qi Xiong finally said.

"Once all the sect masters arrive, make the arrangements; then we'll meet first."

"No problem, senior brother."

Wu Shou immediately nodded and said.

The people have definitely been invited, and many are already on the way, but they are not the masters of the major immortal sects; they are the grand elders.

Judging by the timing, the first batch should arrive in the next few days.

After leaving Qi Xiong's place, Wu Shou returned to his own dong fu.

Within the Dao One Immortal Sect, everything remained as usual, except that Xu Jie had recently been miserable, being roughed up in turn by the hall masters.

"You little brat, you put poison in the Nine Heavens Bright Moon!"

"No, uncle, isn't there some misunderstanding? I was…………"

"A misunderstanding? There's certainly none—take this!"

"Xu San, what do you say about how I, Uncle Mo, treat you?"

"No need to say; uncle, you naturally treat me extremely well."

"Then why do you repay kindness with enmity, making me drink poisoned wine?"

"I…………"

"Watch the strike."

No matter how many tricks Xu Lao San had, he still couldn't gain any advantage against the hall masters.

Since three days ago, his face hasn't been okay, a patch of blue here, a patch of purple there.

Feeling deeply wronged, Xu Jie even went to find Hong Zun, and in front of Ye Zhangqing, Qi Xiong, and others, he poured out his grievances.

"Master, how could you give the poisoned wine to all our uncles and elders to drink?"

"When did I give it?"

"Then why did they have the disciples…………"

"The poison was administered by you."

"Didn't I tell you?"

"I also told them, but they insisted on drinking it; what could I do?"

Huh???

Upon hearing this, Xu Jie found himself somewhat bewildered—knowing it was poisoned wine, yet they still scrambled to drink it; what kind of operation is this?

Do the older generation now play so flamboyantly? Is poisoned wine an aphrodisiac?

Xu Jie was momentarily speechless; you play your games, but in the end, why drag me into it?

Gazing gloomily at Hong Zun before him, his intuition told him there was surely more to the matter.

Given his understanding of the master, this couldn't be so simple; likely the master had again set a trap for the uncles and elders.

Then this pot fell on him to bear; the more he thought about it, the worse he felt.

You say you clearly knew it was poisoned wine, yet you kept it—let alone keeping it, you didn't even put it in a safe place.

It's utter chaos.

Seeing Xu Jie's miserable state, Ye Zhangqing and the others couldn't help but chuckle.

The full story is naturally known to everyone; although that incident hadn't spread widely, these few of them knew the details.

After all, the cultivators in that city had already reported to the sect, inquired about this matter, and confirmed the identities of Mo Yun and the others.

Moreover, the madam of that brothel had actually reformed, redeeming herself.

Now the city is spreading the word that the madam has given her heart to Mo Yun, declaring that even if her chastity couldn't be given to Mo Yun, the last time would surely be his.

Upon hearing this news, Mo Yun was so angry his teeth itched; he stayed up all night reading the Dao De Jing seven times over before barely stabilizing his emotions.

All things considered, the matter isn't major, but it has left Mo Yun and the others feeling stifled.

And the people could do nothing about Hong Zun, for he was just a slab of rolling knife meat; in the end they could only vent all their resentment onto Xu Jie's head.

After all, the medicine was administered by you, kid, right?

As for the reason, it's none of their business.

The only one who hasn't caused trouble for Xu Jie is Qin Shan Hai, after all he didn't drink that wine.

"Alright, alright, I've already told them I won't bother you anymore; as an elder, how could I constantly quarrel with juniors? That's outrageous."

Qi Xiong laughed as he said this, but Xu Jie didn't really appreciate it.

"Won't cause trouble anymore? Hell, haven't they already done so?"

Especially on the first day, Xu San didn't even leave his dong fu; as soon as he stepped out, he got a beating—Mo Yun came, then Mu You came, then after Mu You came Lin Potian.

This left him unable to go to the canteen all day, not even a single bite of food.

Just thinking about it made Xu Jie feel utterly stifled; who did he provoke? He didn't drug anyone except for the master's sake, did he?

While Xu Jie was lodging his complaint, the steward beside Qi Xiong hurried forward and whispered to him.

"Sect Master, yesterday several outsiders from other sects entered the sect one after another, but they were all received by the grand elders' people; we weren't allowed to intervene, so I don't know if the various sect masters have arrived."

This steward was also puzzled; recently the sect had only been discussing the selection of the best sect master, so when outsiders came, it was natural to assume they were the masters of the various immortal sects.

It's just that when all these sect masters arrived, why weren't they notified? The people under the Grand Elder themselves received them.

And it's a full-service arrangement; even the Dong Fu has been arranged for them.

Upon hearing this, even Qi Xiong was taken aback, then he said in an annoyed tone.

"Nonsense, when people come, how could I not meet them personally?"

This damn thing is his best sect master selection; the sect masters of the various immortal sects have come, yet as the sect master he doesn't even personally greet them, and afterward he should at least show his face.

He let Wu Shou handle the whole thing—what kind of thing is this? If it gets out, they'll say his Dao One Immortal Sect doesn't know etiquette.

Qi Xiong didn't think much of it, assuming Wu Shou was being considerate of him; he then got up, since the meal was finished and he had nothing else to do, it was a good opportunity to go meet the various sect masters.

"Changqing, I'll be going first."

"Alright, Sect Master, go attend to your business."

"Hong Zun, since you're free, come with me; you know many of them."

Among those present, only Hong Zun was a fellow apprentice brother; Qi Xiong didn't think much and just brought him along, to serve as company.

"Okay, senior brother."

The Dong Fu arranged by Wu Shou was naturally known to this steward under Qi Xiong; he led the way, and the three headed straight for the first Dong Fu.

The Dao One Immortal Sect now occupies a vast area, with the sect divided into four major regions: the Outer Sect, Inner Sect, Core, and Forbidden Land.

The Dong Fu used to receive honored guests is located in the Inner Sect region, while the canteen is situated on the outskirts of the Core region.

Not long after, they arrived outside the Dong Fu; Qi Xiong gestured for the steward to step forward and knock. As the Dong Fu's restriction was triggered, it soon opened, revealing an old woman walking out.

It was none other than Grand Elder Wang of Vein Pulse Mountain.

Looking at the aged Grand Elder Wang, Qi Xiong clasped his hands and smiled.

"Daoist Wang, you've come too? Where is Brother Lin? Is he inside? I, Qi, have come specially to pay a visit."

Qi Xiong's manners were impeccable, but Grand Elder Wang listened, utterly confused.
