Chapter 73 Yellow Sand Flooded the Valley, And Rain And Rain Were Approaching

So the next day.

The matter of Ye Hongjian 's trash fiance becoming a guest of Xuanhe Peak was like a stone falling into a spring pond, causing an uproar in the entire Exquisite Pavilion.

From the elders and deacons of the various peaks to the disciples of the various levels, they were all discussing this matter one after another.

As soon as this news spread out early this morning, the deacons and elders on the Xuanhe Peak entered the Jishi Prefecture at the same time, wanting to ask the Sect Leader what was going on.

On the Chongju Peak , the wind was also blowing.

In the Sword Hall, Ding Jingcheng , who was extremely skinny and had a sheephorn beard, hurriedly went to the Sword Cauldron Pavilion at the top of the Chongju Peak Mountain and found Elder Chongju Peak, Xuanming Sword Immortal Dragon Congyun.

He sat down beside Long Congyun and glared at him, "Senior Brother, take a look. This Ning Zhumang is getting more and more indecent every day."

"A few days ago to send Tong Tiexin these inner sect disciples to pick up Ye Hongjian , almost went wrong. This time, it was even more powerful. A brat whose meridians had been completely severed and who was useless except for climbing up the tall branch of Ye Hongjian , was actually accepted by him as a guest of the Xuanhe Peak! One Moonlight Essence Condensation Pill was enough to give him three hundred? "Tell me, our brother has joined the sect since he was young. For the sake of the Linglong Pavilion, how many pills do we only receive in a month? He is just a brat. He saved a disciple by leaning on some Jianghu Zuo Dao yesterday. He is worshipped as a guest. Since when is the position of guest of our Linglong Pavilion so worthless?" Ding Jingcheng poured bitter water into his head, and his wrinkled old face was squeezed into a ball at that time.

The azure-robed, white-haired Long Cong Yun opened his eyes from his meditation. He glanced at his impatient junior brother and said, "No matter what, Zhu Mang is still the sect master of the Exquisite Pavilion. He has his own reasons for doing things. Moreover, Elder Sikong did not say anything. Is there any reason for us to interrupt? Your temperament has changed."

However, Ding Jingcheng , who had been taught a lesson, was even angrier, and he opened his mouth to argue.

"I heard that Yanlai City of Qingzhou has been causing trouble for demons recently. The disciples of the sect there have already sent us three requests for help. How are you preparing for this?" Long Congyun knew that his junior brother always loved face, so he changed the topic and asked.

"Huh?" Ding Jingcheng was stunned. He also knew that he would not be able to pour out his anger at Senior Brother's place. After a slight hesitation, he continued to ask Long Congyun, "The demon race has been trapped in the 100,000 great mountains for many years, and has long been unable to cause any big waves. It is estimated that some small demons are causing trouble. I have already arranged for personal disciples Li Qing, Yue Ning, and dozens of outer sect disciples to investigate this matter there. They will set off tomorrow."

"Oh." Long Congyun nodded when he heard this. "Although the demon race has the Green Lotus Temple, we can't underestimate it. It's better to be cautious. You should go to Xuanhe Peak to ask for two more doctors and Dahuan Peak to find a disciple to go with you just in case."

"En, Senior Brother, don't worry. I will definitely make the arrangements." Although Ding Jingcheng secretly criticized his senior brother for being too cautious, he still replied repeatedly and then retreated.

When Ding Jingcheng left, a stern expression flashed across Long Congyun's indifferent eyes.

" Ning Zhumang , Ning Zhumang . Looks like it's time to change the rules of the Sect Leader of Linglong Pavilion that only falls on Xuanhe Peak."

…

On the Dahuan Peak .

It was morning class, and the scholarly scholars' loud and clear voices of reading were gathered together, echoing on this great atlas peak, endlessly curling up like the morning bell and twilight drum, and it was also soul-stirring.

In the Jinglun courtyard at the top of the mountain, a middle-aged man wearing a gray robe and a plain crown was sitting upright in the courtyard. He was holding a yellowed ancient book in his hand and carefully reading it.

"Sir, Elder Hong wishes to see you." At this moment, a red-lipped and white-faced scholar quickly walked into the hospital and bowed to the man.

When the middle-aged man heard this, he slowly put down the ancient book in his hand and said, "Please."

The boy retreated, and then an old man dressed in green with white hair came in.

Although that person's hair was white and he looked old, he walked with a wide open and close path, not showing the slightest bit of old age.

After he stepped into the courtyard and greeted the middle-aged man, he sat down to the side.

"Why is Elder Hong here so early?" When the middle-aged man saw the old man take his seat, a smile appeared on his lips.

"Has Mr. Zhuo heard that Ning Zhumang accepted Ye Hongjian 's husband as a guest of Xuanhe Peak?" The old man surnamed Hong didn't beat around the bush and directly asked.

"I just heard from the boy under the hall." That Mr. Zhuo nodded his head and said. His brows seemed to contain a smile, but they weren't flaunting it, making it difficult for people to have any ill feelings.

"Hmph." Elder Hong immediately let out a cold snort, "This Ning Zhumang is getting more and more obedient. Elder Sikong is also not easy to discipline. I think the thousand-year foundation of this Exquisite Pavilion will be destroyed by this child sooner or later."

"Does Elder Hong think this matter is inappropriate?" Mr. Zhuo asked quietly.

"Of course not. Then what is Xu Han? He is worthy of the position of guest minister? This Great Zhou Empire is getting worse every day. I think it's only a matter of time before Xia Jun goes south. Ning Zhumang doesn't want to use the resources of the guest minister to recruit some famous officials. Instead, he wants to rope in a brat who comes from nowhere. How can Linglong Pavilion protect itself when Xia Jun goes south?" Elder Hong said sternly. Obviously, he had been dissatisfied with the Sect Leader for a long time, and the anger in his words was not concealed at all.

"Yanlai City has caused a monster disaster. I reckon that Ding Jingcheng is already on his way here. Rather than being indignant with me, Elder Hong might as well arrange for someone to follow Ding Jingcheng down the mountain with a disciple who knows the habits of the monster race to eliminate the monster."

"The world will be in chaos, and the people will suffer unspeakably. If my Exquisite Pavilion can help, then that's all." After Mr. Zhuo said this, he picked up the ancient book in his hand and carefully flipped through it.

The old man surnamed Hong saw his manner and knew that he no longer had any interest in discussing this matter with him. He immediately sighed and said, "This old man will do it now." After saying that, he retreated.

Da.

Da.

Following the old man's retreat, an extremely regular soft sound suddenly sounded in the Jinglun courtyard.

It was that Mr. Zhuo who was constantly tapping on the desk in front of him with his fingers.

The voice was clear and crisp, as if it coincided with certain rhythms, and it even carried a faint hint of a golden sword.

At that time, a cold light flashed in Mr. Zhuo's eyes, as cold as a sharp edge.

He murmured softly.

"Yellow sand flooded the valley. A storm is approaching."

"Ordinary men do not erect dangerous walls, but gentlemen know that there are no eggs under the nest."

" Ning Zhumang , who exactly are you?"

…

Compared to the three main peaks of the rumors, Xu Han, who was one of the two protagonists of this matter, was much more stable.

He stayed in the small porch window and finished refining the thirty Origin Condensation Pills today. He had repaired five acupoints in his body. If this continued, if he had enough pills, he would only need a month to completely repair the damaged meridians in his body.

Ning Zhumang also promised him yesterday that he would refine the pills that Xu Han needed within three months.

Everything went smoothly. Although Xu Han was skeptical of Ning Zhumang 's motives, he had no better choice. Therefore, no matter what, he chose to wait and see.

" Young Master Xu , are you there?" At this moment, a gentle voice came from outside the room.

Hearing this, Xu Han, who had just absorbed the medicinal power, stood up. With Xu Han's memory, he could easily recognize who the owner of the voice was.

There was a rare look of panic on his face.

" Young Master Xu ?"

The person outside shouted again, not sure if Xu Han was in the courtyard.

When Xu Han heard the intention of the outsider leaving, his heart skipped a beat. For some reason, he said loudly, "I'm here. What's the matter?"

As soon as he spoke, there was naturally no room for manoeuvre.

He quickly walked forward to the entrance of the courtyard and took a deep breath. He seemed to have mustered up his courage before pushing the door open.

Outside the room, a beautiful figure dressed in a light colored wool sweater was already standing there.

"Miss Qin? Why are you here?" Xu Han pretended to be surprised, but as soon as he spoke, even he felt that his tone and manner of speaking were a bit too artificial. At that time, Xu Han, who had always been calm, blushed slightly.

Qin Keqing was slightly stunned when she heard Xu Hanzhi's words, but she quickly restrained her thoughts and whispered, "Thank you Young Master Xu yesterday. If Young Master didn't help me, I…"

"It's fine. It's easy to do. I will not hesitate to save someone's life." Xu Hanyan said. Although he tried his best to calm himself down, the tone of his voice was very different from usual.

"Mm" Qin Keqing lowered her head, her face flushed red, but she didn't know if it was because of the cold weather outside or something else.

As she responded softly, the atmosphere between the two instantly fell silent.

"It's cold outside. Please come in and have a chat." After about ten breaths of time, Xu Han suddenly slapped his forehead. Only then did he realize that it was inappropriate to keep the guests out of the room. He hurriedly said, welcoming Qin Keqing into the room.

Qin Keqing , who was seated at the stone table in the courtyard, said, "I heard that Young Master Xu was accepted as a guest by the headmaster. I came in a hurry. I also heard the news on the way and forgot to prepare a congratulatory gift." However, the expression on her face seemed to be somewhat absent-minded.

"No problem, no problem." Xu Han hurriedly waved his hand and said.

However, as soon as they finished speaking, the two of them fell silent again.

Another dozen breaths later.

"Actually, there's something else that Qing wants to ask Young Master about this time." Seemingly having made an extremely important decision, Qin Keqing , who had been lowering her head, suddenly raised her head and looked at Xu Han. At that moment, his clear eyes flashed with determination like a treasured sword being unsheathed.

"What is it?" Xu Han's heart skipped a beat as he vaguely guessed what Qin Keqing would ask.

"… Two years ago, did Young Master ever go to Jingsheng City in Chongzhou ?"

"Huh?" Xu Han's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to his original state. He did not know where he had leaked out a flaw that Qin Keqing had seen through, but he was unable to recognize it. With his current status, the more Qin Keqing knew, the more trouble he would bring to her.

Xu Han was unable to know what kind of feelings he had for this girl who had saved his life, whether it was gratitude or other thoughts. But Xu Han knew that he didn't want her to be hurt, so he shook his head decisively at that time and said, "I have lived in Liang Zhou since I was young and have never been to Chong Zhou. But what does Miss Qing mean by that?"

"Really?" Qin Keqing , however, did not give up and asked again.

"Naturally." Xu Han nodded confidently.

"Is that so" Qin Keqing , who had received Xu Han's affirmative answer, couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She clearly remembered that Xu Han's eyes were almost the same as what she saw that year.

However, Xu Han's words were so certain that Qin Keqing naturally could not ask further.

As for the conversation that followed, Qin Keqing 's mood dimmed slightly. After about fifteen minutes, she stood up and said goodbye.

Xu Han sent it outside and watched Qin Keqing leave.

At that moment, Qin Keqing , who had already walked several zhang away, suddenly turned her head and looked at Xu Han.

" Young Master Xu ."

"Huh?" Xu Han was stunned, but he didn't know why Qin Keqing suddenly turned around.

"I don't think I've ever told Young Master that my name is Qin Keqing , right?"

At that time, the girl's eyes suddenly narrowed into crescent moons, and a crafty smile appeared on her face.
