Chapter 86 Teal Jade Sec

t

Xiao Chen immediately felt some rich Spiritual Qi. Compared with the outside, the Spiritual Qi here was purer. Presumably, this was also a land of bliss. After ascending the steps, they arrived at the main square of the mountain gate. Looking back, he saw that on his way here, countless bluestone swords dangling in mid-air with faint golden runes around.

Gu Hanxuan gently smiled. "They are the barrier seals of our sect."

Xiao Chen nodded and walked after him for miles. After passing through the square, a disciple hurried to report. "The master is waiting in the hall. Please go immediately, Senior Brother."

Gu Hanxuan nodded slightly. "Okay, I see." He then pointed to Xiao Chen, saying, "This is Junior Brother Han. Take him to the side hall to rest."

Xiao Chen looked up and saw three grand halls not far away and numerous pavilions and towers in the distance. Although this Teal Jade Sect was not as good as the Mystic Cyan Sect, it was much bigger than those sects in the Human World. The disciple showed him the way and said, "Junior Brother Han, come with me."

Xiao Chen nodded and went with him. This was not the top of the mountain. There was still some distance from the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain was where the elders stayed in seclusion. Ordinary disciples cannot go up there. After arriving at the side hall, the disciple sent men to serve tea and brought some melons, fruit, and snacks in person. The disciple saw that the First Brother was very polite to this person, so he naturally did not dare to neglect Xiao Chen as if Xiao Chen was a guest of honor.

Xiao Chen only took a sip of tea gently and did not eat the snacks in the dish. It was not because of his vigilance; after all, the Teal Jade Sect was also regarded as a noble and decent sect. He felt that he should be polite when he first came to someone else's home so as not to lose his courtesy.

The disciple who sent him here was quite easy-going. Seeing that he was rather restrained, the disciple kept talking with him. At the moment, in another hall, a dignified, middle-aged man was sitting in the front of the hall. He was Liu Yunzheng, the current leader of the Teal Jade Sect.

"Greetings, Master!" Underneath him, Gu Hanxuan and the others who just walked in saluted one after another. Only the Junior Sister Liu Fenghuang skipped up.

Liu Yunzheng gently knocked on her forehead, and his doting heart was beyond words. He pretended to be angry and said, "You left without telling me. Wait and see how your father will punish you." Liu Fenghuang wrapped around his arm, reached out her tongue, and didn't talk.

Liu Yunzheng gently coughed, looked down and said, "Hanxuan, why isn't your Junior Brother Duan back?"

Instantly, the atmosphere in the hall became solemn, and people were silent. Liu Fenghuang's expression also quickly dim down. Gu Hanxuan frowned, hesitated for a long time and said, "It's my fault. I failed to provide adequate protection. Please punish me, master..." He then told the man about Duan Feng's murder.

"You said Feng'er, he... he!" Liu Yunzheng looked full of grief. He constantly shook his head and sighed. "For a dragon pill, my Feng'er died..."

Liu Fenghuang also had red eyes. She sobbed, "It's all my fault. I insisted to go down the mountain with him..."

"I am also responsible for this, please punish me, master." Chu Lingjiao said as she knelt down. And then Shen Qian and Gu Hanxuan also knelt down.

Gu hanxuan, Duan feng, Chu Lingjiao, Shen Qian, and Liu Fenghuang were Liu Yunzheng's disciples. They had more than ten years of relationships. No wonder Liu Yunzheng was so sad to hear the bad news.

"Nevermind, I can't blame you, get up now..." Liu Yunzheng's face was still very bitter. He looked blankly and said, "The Skygale Sect..."

There was still no evidence to prove that the Skygale Sect did this. Even if it was proved, they could do nothing. Because the Dragon Meridian Mountains was the border between Zhou State and Qing State. No matter how many people were killed or injured in there, they were not allowed to seek revenge without permission. This was the contract set by the two states earlier.

Liu Yunzheng kept shaking his head and sighing. He saw Shen Qian pale and asked, "Qian'er, you had been hit by that strange palm method, how are you now?" Shen Qian said, "I'm fine. Thank you for your concern."

"All right, let Miss Luo take a look for you later. It will also be good."

Gu Hanxuan took a few steps forward, clasped his hands and said, "There is another thing that I should report." He then told the matter that Xiao Chen was able to play the divine zither.

"There is such a wonderful person!" Liu Yunzheng suddenly stood up from his chair. Obviously, he couldn't believe that someone could make the zither sound three times in a row. He asked, "Where is he now?"

"Master, wait a moment. I will invite him here immediately." Gu Hanxuan then went outside of the temple. If it was an ordinary people, he would not personally go invite. But Xiao Chen was no ordinary people, and even Liu Yunzheng thought highly of him just now.

After a while, Xiao Chen followed Gu Hanxuan into the hall and saw Liu Yunzheng at the head of the hall. He said in a good manner, "I'm Han Chen. A pleasure to meet you, sect leader." Liu Yunzheng hurriedly went down and said, "No need for so much courtesy, young friend. I just heard my little girl say that you can play the ancient divine zither?" He then looked at Liu Fenghuang.

Liu Fenghuang immediately offered the jade zither. Liu Yunzheng took it over and handed it to Xiao Chen.

The news that someone could play the zither three times in a row had spread fast. Now, outside the hall, numerous disciples had gathered. Xiao Chen took over the zither, gently played the C Major string, but there was no sound at all. Liu Yunzheng eyebrows tightly knitted up at once. "What's going on?"

Liu Fenghuang was also full of expectation before. After seeing this, she said hurriedly, "Previously, in the Dragon Meridian Mountains, Junior Brother Han played the zither three times in a row, and Senior Sister Shen also saw it. You can ask her if you don't believe it." She thought for a while and said, "I know, it's because Junior Brother Han was also injured last night."

Xiao Chen nodded. "To be honest, sect leader, I played this divine zither last night, and it really cost me too much energy. We were ambushed later, and now I have no energy left." In fact, his energy had been restored by half, which was enough to play the Fuxi Zither. However, he just felt that he had not yet fully won Liu Yunzheng's trust and cannot reveal it. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to touch the Fuxi Zither in the future.

Liu Yunzheng slightly nodded. He wanted to test whether Xiao Chen had energy now, but he thought it was a bit disrespectful. Besides, there was no reason that his disciples would lie to him. So, he said, "It doesn't matter. I also know that those people have strange methods. These days, you can run your cultivation method on your own to see if you can recover. If you really can't, I will ask someone to restore your energy."

He then put up the zither and asked again, "Anything else happened these days?" Xiao Chen said hurriedly, "I didn't mean to offend Sister Chu earlier. So I hereby apologize to Sister Chu." He then performed a deep bow to Chu Lingjiao.

Along the way, he had noticed Chu Lingjiao's faint murderous intent from time to time. By saying so, he let everyone know that if something happened to him, then it must be Chu Lingjiao's doing.

"Oh?" Liu Yunzheng slightly doubted and asked Chu Lingjiao, "Lingjiao, is this true?" Chu Lingjiao gently smiled and said, "It's okay. It's all a misunderstanding." She then smiled to Xiao Chen and said, "Forget about it, Junior Brother Han. We are family in the same sect now."

"Very good, very good!" Liu Yunzheng kept nodding and then said to Xiao Chen, "It is indeed a blessing of His Highness for our Zhou State to have such a talent like you, young friend." "Zhou State", and "His Highness" made Xiao Chen out of breath. Of course, Xiao Chen also understood what this meant.

Liu Yunzheng then said to Liu Fenghuang, "Fenghuang, send Junior Brother Han to take a rest in Wind-riding Pavilion, and then send a few more people to clean the fallen leaves in the courtyard." Originally, it was supposed to be done by ordinary disciples, but he let Liu Fenghuang do this, which seemed to have some special meanings.

Liu Fenghuang was quite into this new junior brother, so she smiled and happily said, "Junior brother, let's go." Xiao Chen smiled gently and followed her. Liu Yunzheng said to Gu Hanxuan and the others. "You all go back and prepare for the Immortals League Competition a month later."

It was not until everyone had gone that Liu Yunzheng looked at the empty square in front of the hall and sighed. The laughter and smiles here now would lack one person's contribution.

"Feng'er, I will revenge you..."

After a sigh, he looked over at the direction Liu Fenghuang and Xiao Chen went, and thought although he lost a beloved disciple, he gained such an extraordinary man. As long as this man was willing to wholeheartedly stay in the Teal Jade Sect, not only the Teal Jade Sect but also the whole Zhou State would become more unshakable after this man became stronger. And this would credit to his Teal Jade Sect. This was to kill two birds with one stone.

Xiao Chen stood beside Liu Fenghuang. He had a very sharp Divine Sense and had heard many disciples talking about him all the way.

"The man seems to be the new disciple of master. I heard that he can play the divine zither three times in a row."

"Three times in a row? It can't be true! Even the master can only play once. The elders can't even make it sound."

Xiao Chen did not care. About 15 minutes later, he came to the Wind-riding Pavilion. He saw unsophisticated rocks in the courtyard. The pond water was clear and the peony was in full bloom. It was fragrant and elegant and very similar to the Purple Bine Pavilion in his home.

Leaving aside his deep sadness, the two people went to a small pavilion, followed by several disciples who began to clean the entire courtyard and bring some daily supplies. They worked until the afternoon before the entire Wind-riding Pavilion was tidied up.

Looking at the full bloom in the courtyard, Xiao Chen asked, "Senior Sister Liu, who lived here before?"

Liu Fenghuang's head suddenly lifted, and a sense of bitterness flashed through her brows. She then giggled again and changed the subject. "Hee hee, it's good to have you here, Junior Brother Han. I will no longer be a little Junior Sister. Some people call me senior sister now. Senior Brother Mo is so annoying. Every time he saw me, he called me little Junior Sister incessantly."

She then got up and patted her chest, saying, "But don't be afraid. If he dares to bully you, tell me and I will help you out."

As her voice fell, a joyful voice rose on the top of the pavilion. "Little Junior Sister, you are speaking ill of me again. I have heard all of it."

Xiao Chen was surprised that someone was on the pavilion. Why didn't he notice at all when this person came here. Was his cultivation too low? Or this person's cultivation was far above his?

After a light wind, a blue figure suddenly appeared in the pavilion. It was a young man aged 23 or 24. Liu Fenghuang was so angry that she stamped her foot. "Senior Brother Mo, you always sneak around and suddenly come out. It's so scary! You're so annoying!"

The man in teal smiled and turned to Xiao Chen, saying, "Is this the newly joined junior brother today? How should I address you?"
