Chapter 511
Lu Yang looked worriedly at the Integration stage cultivators who had flown away, his brows furrowed, his mind restless.
"What's wrong? Can't bear to see them go, want them to propose marriage?" Meng Jingzhou teased with a smile; after the celebration ended, the teams coming to propose marriage to Lu Yang were endless, and he saw it in his eyes and envied it in his heart.
Now that Lu Yang was watching the marriage proposal teams fly away with longing eyes, Meng Jingzhou was so happy that he couldn't suppress the smile at the corners of his mouth.
Lu Yang shook his head slowly and voiced his concern: "I'm worried that they'll discover that if they come to propose marriage to me, they can camp Master, and then even more people will come to propose marriage."
Meng Jingzhou: "..."
I told you not to be a smart aleck and ask one more question!
With the memory of an Integration stage cultivator, not being able to remember what he did to offend people already said a lot.
Lu Yang felt that with his master's ability to attract hatred, it wouldn't be impossible if one day he received news that he had died suddenly outside.
To avoid such an accident, Lu Yang kindly suggested: "Master, have you considered writing your will in advance? I'm afraid you won't have time to write it when you're about to die."
The Silent Daoist gave his little disciple a meaningful look, feeling that Lu Yang's speaking level already had a bit of the style of his second disciple, who had formed the Yin-Yang Golden Core.
"Have you seen your second senior brother?"
"Second senior brother? No, isn't he in the Golden Buddha Kingdom?" Lu Yang couldn't understand why his master would ask that.
"It's nothing."
There were quite a few disciples who came to watch the Silent Daoist; back then, the Silent Daoist was forced into seclusion for ten years and never appeared; the Senior Sister listened to Lu Yang's slander and released the Silent Daoist, letting him go outside to tell stories and promote the Congwendao Sect, and since then, the Silent Daoist had never returned to the sect.
The disciples of the previous two batches had only heard that there was such a Sect Master in the sect, but no one had ever seen him.
Even in Lu Yang's batch, only Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had seen the Silent Daoist; Tao Yaoye, Seeing Man Gu, and Li Haoran had never seen him either.
"I heard the Sect Master is back, let me see, let me see?"
"Isn't the Sect Master Miss Yun Zhi?"
"Finally saw the real Sect Master; when I went out to do tasks and introduced myself as being from the Congwendao Sect, people would first ask if I was a disciple of the Silent Daoist, and only after confirming I wasn't would they let me in."
"Have you all never seen the Sect Master?"
"Have you seen him?"
"Yes."
"We are all in the same batch, where did you see him?"
"On the wanted poster."
The disciples squeezed inside, wanting to see what the living Silent Daoist looked like; if an outsider saw this scene, it would be easy to get the wrong impression that the Silent Daoist was well-loved by the disciples.
"Junior brother, you're back."
The Great Elder arrived late, or rather, he only showed up after the fighting was over.
Lu Yang could arrive at the first moment, how could the Great Elder be slower than Lu Yang?
He recognized the Integration stage cultivators who were beating the Silent Daoist; when he and the Silent Daoist were building tombs in the past, their exploration level was immature, and they accidentally dug into someone's ancestral grave; the other party sensed the movement and thought they were tomb raiders, so they came down to take a look; the two of them couldn't run in time, so they ran into the coffin and slept with the ancestor for a night.
After the matter was exposed, the other party searched everywhere for the Silent Daoist.
This matter was their fault, so it wasn't convenient for him to show up, and it was fine to let the Silent Daoist get beaten up.
The other few Elders were also based on the same reason.
There were several Integration stage cultivators who were beating the Silent Daoist just now, all of whom had been provoked by the Silent Daoist and the few Elders together, so it wasn't convenient for any of them to show up.
"Passing by the sect, came back to take a look," the Silent Daoist sighed; in a year, the acting Sect Master had changed four times.
First it was Miss Yun Zhi as acting Sect Master, then Lu Yang was acting Sect Master for three days, then Miss Yun Zhi was acting Sect Master again, then Lu Yang continued to be acting Sect Master for two months, and now it was Miss Yun Zhi's turn to be acting Sect Master.
The power of the acting Sect Master changed frequently, which showed how chaotic the sect management was.
"I thought you provoked enemies again and came back to the sect to take refuge."
The Silent Daoist didn't like hearing this: "What kind of talk is that? I have always been one to do things and one to take responsibility; when have I ever escaped?"
The Great Elder said gloomily, his expression unkind: "Then what about when you imitated a woman and wrote a love letter to the fourth, making the fourth dizzy and silly all day, laughing and giggling as if he had lost his soul? After the matter was exposed, you stuffed the unfinished love letter under my bed, what was that about?"
When the Fourth Elder was young, he had a pen pal named Ye Qianqian; the two had never met and communicated through letters; in the letters, Ye Qianqian said she had seen the Fourth Elder killing demonic cultivators with his pen and ink while laughing and talking, and she yearned for him, which was why she sent the letter.
The Fourth Elder saw that Ye Qianqian spoke nicely, her handwriting was delicate, and it was vaguely full of admiration, so he soon took the bait.
Ye Qianqian also said that there was a flood in her hometown and the crops were flooded, so the Fourth Elder immediately sent the letter along with spirit stones back.
Unfortunately, even the most meticulous plans have accidents; finally, one day, the matter was exposed, and the Fourth Elder discovered that someone among their fellow disciples was impersonating Ye Qianqian, so he searched them one by one in a rage.
The Silent Daoist saw that the situation was not good and immediately stuffed the unfinished letter under the Great Elder's bed.
The Fourth Elder, unsurprisingly, fought with the Great Elder, and only after the matter was investigated did they find out it was the Silent Daoist's doing.
"The Fourth Senior Brother, as a Confucian cultivator, practices the way of a gentleman, does things rigidly, and his brain is not flexible; it is easy for him to be cheated by women when he is out; rather than being cheated by women, it is better to be cheated by me first, so that the benefits don't flow to outsiders... ah no, it's so that he has a sense of precaution." — This was how the Silent Daoist explained it before he was beaten up.
The Great Elder thought back and was still afraid; when a scholar gets ruthless, they are truly ruthless.
"Since you're back, let's have a meeting together; there's something to tell you."
The Great Elder summoned everyone, including Miss Yun Zhi, the eight Elders, the Silent Daoist, Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou, Tao Yaoye, Seeing Man Gu, Li Haoran, and Qin Yanyan.
The Senior Sister was also in the sect; she watched her master get beaten up and had no intention of showing up at all.
The Senior Sister's reason was also reasonable — I am not an Integration stage cultivator, I can't beat them.
It could be seen that the Senior Sister truly did not want to intervene.
The members of the Heavenly Court Sect were all in place; everyone looked at each other, their thoughts heavy, silent, and very atmospheric.
Actually, it was because the Sixth Elder was there that it wasn't convenient for everyone to speak.
After hearing the Great Elder's spiritual sense statement, even the Silent Daoist, who was famous for his deception, was a bit dumbfounded.
"So the Heavenly Court Sect that has been making a lot of noise recently is you guys?"
"It's us," the Great Elder corrected.
"... Let's not talk about how you didn't get my consent and pulled me into the Heavenly Court Sect as a Heavenly King Protector; being a Heavenly King Protector isn't impossible, but why did you name me the Heavenly King of Growth on the grounds that I improved the spell 'Size as Desired'?!"
Old Man Ba spread his hands and said with reason and evidence: "You weren't here, so we had no choice; besides, our Heavenly Court Sect emphasizes democracy, and your title has already been agreed upon by everyone except you."
The Silent Daoist was furious, his veins popping: "Democracy my foot! Who is the Sect Master, is it the Senior Brother or you? I want to reason this out!"
"Your eldest disciple."
"The name Heavenly King of Growth is quite good."
