Chapter 375

The fifth day of the Qingyun Dao discussion was set up for Ji You alone, so there was only one finger technique confrontation, and no one was arranged to continue the confrontation afterward.

Now that the Three Great Immortal Sects had withdrawn, there was naturally no need to stay any longer.

Under the eyes of everyone, the Little Hall Master waved her immortal robe and disappeared into the Dao discussion field while walking, leaving only a ripple of spiritual energy dissipating in the air.

She cultivated the most pure Dao method, and the technique of shrinking the earth to the boundless was perfect.

Afterward, the Spirit Sword Mountain group left accordingly.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Zuo Qiuyang breathed a sigh of relief slightly.

Today's situation was truly extremely dangerous; it could be said that if the Little Hall Master hadn't come forward, a war might have really started, and once the war started, when it could stop was not something they could decide.

"Ji You went to Wannian County to pick up someone; does he need to be followed?"

"No need; since there is no war now, the significance of them taking action again is not great; let's talk about it after returning to the academy."

"Yes..."

Qin Rong nodded upon hearing this, and when he left, he couldn't help but turn his head to look in the direction where the Spirit Sword Mountain left.

Afterward, the group whistled back to the mountain, and the elders who followed went back to the Elder Pavilion.

They took off their magic robes and magic tools, took out the spirit stones and other things from the storage gourds, and handed them to the disciples for safekeeping; this was prepared because they knew they might take action.

After all, it was facing the coercion of the Three Great Immortal Sects, and no amount of preparation was too much.

And when they put the things back in place, made tea, and sat down, they couldn't help but fall into daze and contemplation.

"Today's matter was truly dangerous."

"Yes, it almost started a war; this is something that has never appeared in the history of the Human race for thousands of years..."

"Fortunately, the Spirit Sword Mountain came forward, otherwise today's matter might really have been unable to end."

"Yes, that Little Hall Master of the Spirit Sword Mountain and Ji You..."

When the words reached here, the scene suddenly became silent, and the group of elders with white beards and hair didn't know how to continue the discussion.

Yes, the scene of three against one was truly dangerous, the appearance of the Spirit Sword Mountain was truly unexpected, but what made them unable to believe the most was the Little Hall Master of the Spirit Sword Mountain's behavior toward Ji You.

Did Hall Master Master Zuoqiu know beforehand? That's why he was so tough?

However, how could these two...

At the same time, places like tea houses, taverns, inns, and mansions all over the place were almost full.

This scene was actually the same as the previous few days, after all, the victory or defeat after the Dao discussion and the understanding between techniques always needed to be discussed.

But today's sitting opposite was far from being that enthusiastic, and could even be said to be heavy.

Because too many things happened today, and they were too unexpected.

First was Ji You killing with two fingers, and then the attitude shown by the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan facing the Three Sect Alliance.

If these things were placed on weekdays, they would be enough for everyone to discuss from morning to night.

But when the Little Hall Master appeared, everything faded.

Killing with two fingers, the attitude of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, none of it mattered; the only thing that mattered was the relationship between her and Ji You.

Chosen by the Spirit Mirror in childhood, the youngest middle Boundless Realm in Qingyun, the next generation Sect Leader Saint of the Spirit Sword Mountain.

Her marriage has always been a focus of discussion in the Qingyun world, because who she likes might change the pattern of this world.

Some say she will definitely choose Shang Shang Xijie, who is also a personal disciple, because in the situation where the Xuanjian Peak is weak, this is the best choice.

However, as the Heavenly Jianfeng weakened, such statements gradually became much less.

Later, some people said that such a conceited woman might have decided not to marry for life in her heart.

But from beginning to end, no one thought of Ji You.

The two are far apart in the north and south, one from a humble background but arrogant, one noble in status but estranged from the world; no one thought there would be a relationship between them.

Just like the surging Angry River, it shouldn't be thinking about a small fish in a stream outside Shengjing City.

"This matter must be a misunderstanding; that is the Little Hall Master of the Spirit Sword Mountain, not some ordinary woman."

"Talking about Dao companions, recruiting sons-in-law, it's simply ridiculous."

"I ask everyone, except for the time when the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan went to the Spirit Sword Mountain to discuss the Dao, Ji You has never had any contact with the Spirit Sword Mountain; even if there is, what does he rely on to be seen by the Little Hall Master?"

In the tea house of Shengjing, Fang Fang Jincheng shook his head while speaking.

His words seemed to be proving to others, but also seemed to be persuading himself not to believe it.

And such a statement naturally welcomed a burst of agreement, and more than half of the people upstairs agreed.

Yu Yu Shiliu opened her mouth upon hearing this: "When the grain price was raised in Fengzhou, the first one to accept this price was the Spirit Sword Mountain."

"This doesn't explain anything."

"The Little Hall Master's storage gourd has his clothes, which can be taken out at will; this is something only a Dao companion can do, not to mention her gaze..."

"In my opinion, this is just a technique to stop the war; it can only be said that the Little Hall Master is far-sighted and easily perceived the key to breaking the situation."

Amidst the argument, a group of people walked hurriedly on the long street toward the mansion of Prince Chong.

That was the Lingzhou aristocratic family in pure colors; walking at the very front was the head of the Zeng family, who bowed and bent his waist all the way, carrying full uneasiness.

These aristocratic families driving past the long street basically all participated in the promotion of the tax offering increase, the intention of which was to skin Fengzhou.

But after today's events, everything became different.

Just like Ma Xiang and He Ye felt that a great disaster was imminent because of the Three Great Immortal Sects against the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, these aristocratic families relying on the Spirit Sword Mountain also needed to figure out their stance.

Then the first thing they needed to figure out was this relationship that had never been known to anyone.

Because the whole city was asking about this relationship, the matter of the Zeng family going to the residence of the Little Hall Master of the Spirit Sword Mountain immediately received attention like a surging tide.

And under the eyes of everyone, they were received in the West Residence of Prince Chong.

At that time, the Little Hall Master had just returned to the small building and was drinking tea, her face without joy or sorrow, which made people somewhat frightened.

"Hall Master."

"Why did the Zeng family head come?"

"The old man was stupid and ignorant before, short-sighted like a frog at the bottom of a well, and was deceived, listening to the Fang family's advice to participate in the tax offering increase, offending Young Master Ji; I hope the Hall Master will forgive me."

The language art of the Zeng family head was also great, and he asked very cleverly.

On one hand, he clarified that he participated in the tax offering increase without knowing the situation, and on the other hand, he used this matter to test the relationship between the Hall Master and Ji You.

Because if the matter of offending Ji You could really be redeemed by asking the Hall Master, that itself meant the relationship between the two.

Otherwise, why would the Hall Master be able to forgive them for Ji You?

So several other aristocratic families also followed suit, begging the Hall Master for redemption.

However, the Little Hall Master's answer did not proceed as they had expected.

"How did you also learn to chew your tongue?"

"As long as you act upright and sit straight in the world, why do you need to consider any stance?"

"The Zeng family head's cultivation base has been unable to improve all these years, trapped in a bottleneck; I think it is because the calculation is too deep."

In the main building of the small courtyard, Yan Yan Shuyi's face was cold, her tightly furrowed brows full of anger, making the Zeng family head feel uneasy.

Afterward, they were invited out of the small courtyard, and then they were surrounded by everyone who was paying attention to this matter; they also wanted to know how the Hall Master explained this.

And when the heads of the Lingzhou aristocratic families said the Hall Master's scolding, countless people fell into contemplation again.

Because listening to this sentence is like listening to a sentence, and it doesn't explain anything.

But at this time, the Zeng family head had not spoken, just turning the teacup in his hand and thinking carefully.

The Hall Master's answer was indeed ambiguous, and couldn't see what it meant, but that itself was the meaning.

Because the Hall Master hated others editing her relationship with others the most in her life, otherwise, when the Holy Son of the Asking Dao Sect went up the mountain in a high profile back then, she wouldn't have left the mountain directly.

From this, it can be seen that if the two were really not what everyone misunderstood, she shouldn't be ambiguous, but should explain strictly.

So that was not prevarication, that was acquiescence.

Acquiescence that everyone guessed correctly, just don't let everyone spread it more...

The Zeng family head's heart trembled uncontrollably, and the ripples in the half cup of tea in his hand were constant.

And not long after the Zeng family's audience, another batch of Lingzhou aristocratic families led by the Lingzhou Hua family also came hurriedly.

There is no doubt that they also wanted to confirm the relationship between the two, so that they could know what they should do.

"The Zeng family head seems to have angered the Little Hall Master when he went just now; the Hua family is afraid that they will be driven back without even seeing her."

"It is indeed not easy to seek an audience when she is angry."

A group of people watched the Lingzhou aristocratic families led by the Hua family walk toward the small courtyard, and all could not help but shake their heads lightly.

But what surprised them was that the Hua family and other groups of aristocratic families were also invited in.

And after they came out of the courtyard, they were naturally asked one after another; the audience process they said was the same as the Zeng family, and the Hall Master's reply didn't even change a word.

And just as their minds were thousands of times, the head of the Hua family could not help but look at the head of the Zeng family.

He, like the head of the Zeng family, felt that the Hall Master was acquiescing...

In fact, as time passed, others were also able to understand this truth.

If it wasn't really just needing to deny it angrily, why ask people not to spread it anymore; being so secretive, not generous at all.

The only possibility is that the Little Hall Master recognized that she and Ji You were Dao companions.

So the taverns and tea houses gradually began to be silent, and countless people were dazed, not knowing what to say.

Fang Fang Jincheng, who was angry before, also sat down with difficulty, listening to the news that the Little Hall Master did not deny, falling into an ice cellar.

However, the only thing that these cultivators didn't understand was that in the following hour or so, there were still many people seeking an audience at the West Residence of Prince Chong, and everyone who came back said that the Hall Master was very angry.

But when the next person came to seek an audience, they were all invited in smoothly, which made people somewhat unable to understand.

"Head of the Li family, walk slowly."

"Many thanks to the two fairies for leading the way, no need to send."

The head of the Li family, who had just finished the audience, bowed behind him, and then left the small courtyard hurriedly with his sect members.

Watching him leave, Ding Yao and Zhuo Zhuo Wanqiu could not help but look at each other: "The Hall Master is doing it on purpose; she likes others to ask her if she is the big one."

"The whole world is discussing the son-in-law and Yuan Yuan Caiwei; the Hall Master has long wanted others to know that she is the big one."

"But why doesn't the Hall Master just say it clearly?"
