Chapter 2652: The treasure of the sect
"Medicine cauldron?!"
Hearing Long death date's question, Hong Changqing was stunned for a moment.
He was very confused in his heart and secretly thought: "How does death date know about the medicine cauldron? Didn't Master say back then that this secret could only be known by the sect leader and couldn't be told to anyone else?! How could he tell death date about this?"
Thinking of this, he deliberately played dumb: "death date, who did you hear about the medicine cauldron from? Why don't I know?"
Long death date frowned, and her tone was somewhat angry: "Master! Master's Master told me about it a long time ago. He said Tai Zhen Dao has a treasure of the sect, a medicine cauldron that is quite miraculous for refining medicine! He also said that only future sect leaders are qualified to inherit this treasure. Since you decided to pass the sect leader position to me, the medicine cauldron should also be passed to me, right? Otherwise, how can I explain it to Master's Master and my own personal disciple in the future?"
Hong Changqing never expected that before his master passed the medicine cauldron to him, he had urged him repeatedly not to leak the secret of the medicine cauldron to anyone before passing the position. But in the blink of an eye, he had told Long death date about this matter.
He couldn't help but secretly think: "Master, oh Master, are you too fond of death date, or do you not trust me too much?"
Immediately, he, who was embarrassed, could only stutter: "death date, I guess you remembered wrong. Tai Zhen Dao doesn't have any medicine cauldron. I guess Master was just teasing you."
Long death date shook her head: "Impossible. Master's Master explicitly told me that Tai Zhen Dao does have such a medicine cauldron. It is absolutely impossible for him to joke about this kind of thing!"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but question Hong Changqing: "Master, the medicine cauldron is a token inherited by Tai Zhen Dao for thousands of years. You can't just want to keep it for yourself when it reaches you, right?"
"I didn't..." Seeing that he couldn't fool her, Hong Changqing could only say helplessly: "death date, Master swears on his head to you, the medicine cauldron you mentioned is really not in my hands. If it were in my hands, I would definitely hand it to you without hesitation."
Long death date frowned: "Master, if the medicine cauldron is not in your hands, then whose hands is it in? This thing was personally handed to you by Master's Master. You didn't lose it, did you?!"
Hong Changqing said vaguely: "death date... the medicine cauldron is indeed not in my hands right now, and I really can't get it back. So, you'd better just assume Tai Zhen Dao doesn't have such a thing."
Hong Changqing said these words, and he was also very uneasy in his heart. He originally thought Long death date didn't know about the existence of the medicine cauldron and intended to muddle through. But he didn't expect Long death date to know it clearly. If he didn't take out the medicine cauldron for her, he would naturally become a sinner of Tai Zhen Dao.
However, that thing had already been lost to Ye Chen by himself. At this time, it was definitely impossible to ask Ye Chen for it back.
Therefore, he could only sacrifice his reputation. Even if the disciples of Tai Zhen Dao knew in the future that he had lost the ancestral treasure of Tai Zhen Dao, he could only admit it.
Long death date, hearing Hong Changqing's words at this time, was also furious in her heart. She didn't expect Hong Changqing to first deliberately hide the matter of the medicine cauldron, and when she asked him personally, he actually started to act shamelessly.
Long death date couldn't help but question him: "Master, what do you mean by 'just assume Tai Zhen Dao doesn't have such a thing'?"
Hong Changqing said shamelessly: "It means from now on, forget that Tai Zhen Dao has a medicine cauldron."
Long death date said angrily: "Master, what's the difference between this and a father losing his son and telling his family 'let's just assume we never gave birth to this son'? Do you think this is appropriate?"
Hong Changqing felt somewhat unable to hold his face and could only break the jar: "Then the medicine cauldron is indeed gone now, and I really can't get it back. What do you want me to do?"
Long death date questioned him: "I need to know how the medicine cauldron was lost, and whose hands the medicine cauldron is in!"
Hong Changqing dodged her gaze and stuttered: "death date... since the medicine cauldron is already gone, what's the point of you breaking the casserole and asking to the end? What you need to do now is to quickly take the sect leader token and return to Tai Zhen Dao to do your job as sect leader!"
Long death date argued: "Since you passed the sect leader position to me, I have the obligation to recover the treasure inherited by Tai Zhen Dao for thousands of years. So no matter what, I must find the medicine cauldron and bring it back!"
After saying this, she stared at Hong Changqing and asked: "Master, think about the thirty-eight sect leaders of Tai Zhen Dao before you. If you don't bring the medicine cauldron back to Tai Zhen Dao, can you sleep at night?"
Hong Changqing didn't know how to respond to Long death date's questioning at all. In desperation, he could only say dejectedly: "death date, Master will tell you the truth. The medicine cauldron was lost by me in a bet."
Long death date was shocked and blurted out: "Master, what qualification do you have to use Tai Zhen Dao's inheritance as a bet?"
Hong Changqing said helplessly: "I don't have the qualification, but I have already done this. The medicine cauldron has been lost, and I have no way. If you are not satisfied, after you go back, you can announce my affairs to the entire Tai Zhen Dao and make me a sinner of Tai Zhen Dao for all ages. I have no opinion on that."
Long death date said seriously: "Master, I don't want you to become a sinner of Tai Zhen Dao for all ages. I just want to get Tai Zhen Dao's treasure back!"
After saying this, she gritted her teeth and said: "Master, tell me who you lost the medicine cauldron to. I will go find him and ask him if he is willing to sell the medicine cauldron to me. If he is willing, no matter how much money, I will find a way. If it really doesn't work, I will go to my father!"
Hong Changqing's expression was very difficult, but because of his guilt, he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Ye Chen, who hadn't spoken, smiled slightly at this time: "Miss Long, don't make it difficult for Heavenly Master Hong. His medicine cauldron has been lost to me. It's my thing now."
Long death date looked at Ye Chen in surprise and asked: "Mr. Ye, I want to know, how did my master lose the medicine cauldron to you?"
Ye Chen said indifferently: "There's no need for Miss Long to ask about the specifics. You only need to know that the medicine cauldron is in my hands now, and I am not prepared to sell it."
Long death date said anxiously: "Mr. Ye, this is the treasure of our Tai Zhen Dao!"
Ye Chen said indifferently: "It was before, but it's not now. And I don't care about its origin. I only know that it's mine now."
Long death date immediately asked him: "Mr. Ye, how much money will it take for you to return the treasure of our Tai Zhen Dao? Just name a number, and I will try my best to convince my father to pay!"
Ye Chen smiled: "Although I don't know how much money Miss Long's father has, I can tell you one thing clearly: even if you put all your father's assets in front of me, I won't agree!" ===== CHAPTER 2653 =====
