Chapter 39: Is Master Here?

  "Was it Master Zhu who informed us that night?" Looks like Deng Feng and I are on the same page.

  "No, I'm too old for that nonsense, it's someone else." When Master Zhu said this, I felt quite puzzled. Someone else? Who is it?"It looks like a woman..." After Master Zhu added this sentence, I was even more confused. A woman? Could the people who closed the door be involved in some kind of romantic relationship?I took a look at Deng Feng and eliminated that possibility, but when I looked at Ze Hong, I felt that it might still be possible...

  "Don't look at me, I can't recognize girls, except for the ones you introduced to me when we went down the mountain this time." Upon hearing Ze Heng say that, it made sense. Zhang Ting, Yu Xin, Ruo Qin, they were all impossible... Little Apple? Little Orange? What was I thinking!

  "Ah, thank you, Master Zhu, for reminding us. This time we came mainly to deal with the Yin Soul Sect as you said." Seeing that Dēng Fēng was serious, my thoughts didn't wander and I quietly listened.

  "You want to ask why the people from the Dark Soul Sect didn't come, right? Actually, I feel that Guan Yi is now fearless of heaven and earth, his disciples are also like this, haha. This time, Pan Tai from the Dark Soul Sect died, Xi Wang's Dao was abolished, two of the Four Great Dragon Heads were lost, they should be looking for you to settle accounts."

  "But... cults like Tian Tian Jiao know that Yin Hun Pai has lost two of its leaders this time and are taking advantage of them, so Yin Hun Pai doesn't have the spare energy to come after you, but rather is dealing with internal affairs first. Although there are many cults on this land, Yin Hun Pai is considered one of the leading ones, so this piece of meat has many people eyeing it."

  Hearing Master Zhu say this, doesn't that mean there's nothing to worry about for a while? "Then they can just choose another one."

  "It's not that simple. Although the Yin Soul Sect has a diverse group of people, their requirements for the Dragon Head and Protectors are extremely strict. Not only do they need to have extraordinary abilities, but also innate talent. Their selection rule is simply a battle of life and death - winners stay, losers die." Ze Heng saw my confusion and explained it to me.

  "Life and death struggle?"

  "Uh, yes, the Yin Soul Sect holds a life-and-death battle for personnel adjustments every year. Don't think that the four major dragon heads are sitting there very stably. Once someone surpasses them, they can only die. It's also because of this life-and-death battle that many people from different sects will want to challenge it, after all, the Yin Soul Sect has a significant influence in the entire circle."

  ”

  "Is it just for this?"

  "I'm not clear either, I just heard that the leader of the Yin Soul Sect has a very mysterious thing, it's said that only the leader can have it, many people went there for this, but those who went didn't dare to challenge the leader..."

  "Is the teacher very fierce?"

  "Hmm, it's all just hearsay, I've heard my master mention these names before - Jiǔ Mén Gě Sān, Yì Huáng Wáng Bà Tiān, Dōng Běi Líng Xī, Jiǔ Chóng Lǎo Dào Zhāng Dào Fán and so on. And Wáng Bà Tiān is the leader of the Yin Soul Sect, people who can be mentioned by my master are definitely not weak."

  Wang Ba Tian? This name is so domineering? Ze Heng explained a lot to me, and I also figured it out somewhat. So, before the battle of life and death began, everything was fine with me?

  "We've disturbed Old Zhu, this time we owe you a favor, when the day comes that we need your help, we'll definitely come to repay it." I bid farewell to Old Zhu and left with Deng Feng. As I was about to leave, I suddenly remembered something. I called out to Ze Huan and the others to wait for me while I ran back.

  "Master Zhu, I have something to ask of you." I said, looking at Master Zhu who was sitting on the stool with his eyes narrowed, "Do you know where my master went?"

  "Your master? Is it Ge San?" This made me believe him even more, he knew this too. "You don't have to be surprised, I just saw your tendons and bones are somewhat connected, only Ge San would accept a disciple like you in this circle. Your master and their master are all in... Miao Territory"

  Are you all in Miao territory? "Where is Miao territory?" I subconsciously blurted out.

  "I don't know."

  "Aren't you good at divination?" When I heard him say he didn't know, I got anxious.

  "I'm good at divination, but I've reached an old age, and if I divine again, I don't know when I'll be gone." After hearing this sentence, I felt quite ashamed. The divination method of one stroke must reverse five flaws and three deficiencies, which is also the heavenly way to punish those who divine and peek at the heavenly machine.

  "Sorry, Master Zhu, I was impulsive, thank you." I turned and left, knowing that the master was in Miaojiang was enough, this was the first time I had heard news of the master in so long.

  "Zi Chuan, what did you just go ask about?" Ze Heng asked me as soon as I came out.

  "I went to ask where my master had gone."

  "Did you ask him?"

  "I asked him and he said they were with Master in Miaojiang." As I finished this sentence, Dēng Fēng also stopped and muttered to himself: "What are Master and the others doing in Miaojiang?"

  "Did your master say what he was going to Miaojiang for before he left?"

  "There is no..."

  "That's it, I'm glad to know my master's news. I plan to go back to school later, since the Yin Soul Sect is busy with their own affairs, I should also go back and see Tingting."

  "Are you leaving? We've been troubling you for the past few days." Looking at Deng Feng being so polite, I felt embarrassed. Actually, during their closed-door training days, I felt quite comfortable and they even treated me like a fellow disciple.

  "Master brother, I also want to go with Zikawa." Seeing Ze Hong say this, I was worried that Deng Feng wouldn't agree.

  "Go ahead, go ahead. You can protect Zikawa too. After all, Master and San Ye are old friends, we can't let anything happen to Zikawa." Seeing Dengfeng nod in agreement, Ze Hong was quite happy. "Can I bring Sheteng along?"

  "No way, he still needs to cultivate within our sect. Last time you secretly took him out, I haven't blamed you yet!" Ah, Zehong is still secretly taking Shitian out. Seeing Dengfeng not responding, Zehong also didn't say anything. The few of us went up the mountain and returned to Guanmen to pack up our things.

  "Zihe, where are you going?" Shitian saw that I was back and came to my room, looking puzzled as he saw me packing things up.

  "Uh... Shitian, I might have to leave today. The Yin Soul Sect has some issues recently and they can't take care of me, so I should head back." I didn't know how to tell Shitian, since his senior brother wouldn't let him go out.

  "Ah! Too good, then I'll go and collect it too..." I was just about to call out to him, but he had already run off.

  I gathered my belongings and came to the courtyard to wait for Ze Hong. When I saw him arrive, his fellow disciples all came out to see us off. "Thank you all for taking care of me these past few days... I'll remember it in my heart."

  "Nowhere, Zichuan, take this little thing with you, I've just made it." I saw Baixi handing me a package, and when I opened it, I found it was all food, Baixi's craftsmanship, which I didn't want to part with.

  "Thank you, when you're free, be sure to come find me." These few days of interaction have made me a bit afraid of parting.

  "Be careful on your way, Zikawa, young master." Dian Feng instructed Ze Hong a few words before we turned around and left.

  "Master! Wait for me!" I heard Shitian's voice and saw him running out from inside with something on his back, but was pulled back by Dengfeng. "You still want to run? Stay obediently in the sect and practice your skills."

  "But..." Seeing Shiteng wanting to speak but stopping, I looked at him and it seemed that only Zehong and I could leave. Zehong and I got off the mountain and walked for a long time before seeing a car. I had previously reminded Zehong not to be too violent when hitchhiking this time, but who knew that after we stopped the car, we heard that going to the train station would cost 1000 yuan directly? I'll just let Zehong handle it.

  The luck was quite good, I went to the train station and bought a ticket for the train two hours later, it's another two-day and one-night trip. After getting the ticket, the first thing I did was call Zhang Ting, I told her that I had already bought the ticket and was on my way, this girl even cried with joy, I thought to myself whether I should kiss or hug her when I see her for the first time?

  After getting on the train, I put my luggage away and lay down on the berth. "Shixiong! Zichuan Gege! Are you guys in this carriage?" Huh? Isn't that Shitian's voice? Ze Heng and I both got up to take a look, and it really was Shitian! "Shitian!" Shitian heard Ze Heng's voice and ran over immediately, looking quite excited.

  "Haha! Brother Shi, Da Ge Zi Chuan! Luckily I made it on time!" He looks quite adorable like this.

  "How did you get out? Didn't your senior brother tell you not to come out?"

  "I'm running away secretly..." Running away again?

  On the train, Shitian kept talking and talking, saying that he was careful when he ran out, and then said that he wanted to see Ruqin's appearance. I was annoyed by him, and for the past two days on the train, except for eating and sleeping, it was all about playing cards with them. Finally arrived at the station! Got off the train at noon, stretched my waist, oh! Still getting used to coming back here.

  I first found a house outside for Ze Hong and Shi Teng to settle down, but I didn't dare to live in a hotel anymore. I was still worried that they would be caught again, which is not the main reason, mainly because I couldn't bear to spend money like this. It's been over ten days since I last went to school, after arranging for them, I returned to school myself and made an appointment to meet up again at night for dinner.

  When I walked into the dormitory, the door was locked. I touched the skylight and found that the key was still here. After opening the door and entering, I saw that my bed had become dusty. I took it down to dry outside and tidied up a bit. My roommates all went to class, and I thought I must have looked strange in their eyes?

  I arrived without calling Zhang Ting, planning to surprise her. I took a look in the mirror and felt that after staying in the dorm for a few days, I had become a bit dull and rough. I walked to Zhang Ting's dormitory building and gave her a call.

  "Ting Ting, come down quickly!" I said after that side just hung up, what's wrong? As a result, I heard the sound of footsteps coming from the stairs, Zhang Ting wearing a skirt ran out and directly hugged me.

  "Hehe, okay okay, many people are watching!" Indeed, many people were watching, making me feel embarrassed. But in my heart, I still wanted it.

  "I don't care!" Zhang Ting kept rubbing her head against my chest, I stroked her hair and sniffed it, feeling like I could forget everything.

  "Ting Ting, I'm going to die because of you~"
