Chapter 181: Patriarch Shangguan
Chapter 181: Patriarch Shangguan
Sang Yunqi once again sighed that his little disciple really had a smart brain. After thinking it over, he decided not to hide it from him anymore and told him about his physical condition in detail, including the past of the demon queen.
"So, this thing is a guarantee. I'm afraid that you'll have an accident someday. If I'm not around, this thing can save your life."
"Xinglan, keep it well and don't let us worry, okay?"
After listening to this, Chu Xinglan finally understood why these two old guys didn't tell him.
He accepted his physical condition well, and even felt that it gave him a wonderful journey, which was a good thing.
If it weren't for the efforts of so many people, I would have been dead long ago. How could I have so many friends and such a good master?
So he really didn't feel anything, but the fact that his master hurt his own body for him was even more difficult for him to accept.
He could understand, and even felt that it was something that made him very happy that he was so important to his master, but he was unwilling to do so.
Sang Yunqi saw that he was depressed and was prepared in his heart. He pulled the man onto his lap, put his arms around his waist, and coaxed him patiently.
"Xinglan, it's just a little bit of original power. It can always be restored. It doesn't cause much harm to me."
"You are Master's only disciple. I have invested a lot of energy and affection in you. I cannot accept that you will leave me one day."
He was talking about master and disciple, but not every word he said was intimate enough to be expected in a master and disciple relationship.
It's just that each of them had their own thoughts, and no one noticed anything was wrong.
Chu Xinglan buried his head in his master's neck, his eyes unable to control the sourness and moisture, crystal tears burst out of his eye sockets and slid down his cheeks.
"Master, I will practice well and protect myself. Master, please don't do this again, okay? I don't like it."
Sang Yunqi felt the chill on his shoulder, as if he was burned by some boiling magma, making his heart ache.
"Well, I'll listen to Xinglan."
After that, neither of them spoke anymore. They just hugged each other quietly and calmed down their emotions.
It was unknown how long it had been before Chu Xinglan raised his head and got off Sang Yunqi's body.
"Master, we are going to the temple fair tonight. I have to tell Song Ling and the others so that they don't have to wait for me."
Sang Yunqi had no objection. He straightened his wrinkled clothes and put his hat back on.
"Let's go."
……
On Cangqiong Mountain, when Xu Zhuo was having a splitting headache due to the noise from the people below, suddenly Chen Xiu leaned over and whispered something in his ear, and Xu Zhuo instantly perked up.
"really?"
Chen Xiu nodded solemnly: "I'm waiting for you in Master's courtyard now."
Xu Zhuo stood up directly, and his abrupt action caused the quarrel below to pause for a moment.
"Everyone, we have been discussing this for such a long time, you must be tired. How about we stop here today, go back and have a good rest, and then we can discuss it again tomorrow?"
There was nothing wrong with what Xu Zhuo said, but everyone sitting in the hall was a smart person and they all knew that something must have happened.
But the other party didn't want to talk, and they didn't dare to ask. Besides, they had been arguing for a whole day and their voices were almost hoarse, so they all cooperated and left in twos and threes.
Xu Zhuo was about to go back with Chen Xiu when he saw Xuan Ling still sitting there with a look of unsatisfied feeling on his face.
"Master, you and the old ancestor are good friends, why don't you go to the back mountain to rest?"
Xuan Ling nodded, stretched and stood up: "Master Xu, go and get busy, don't worry about me."
Xu Zhuo was not worried that he would do anything bad in Cangqiong Mountain. After exchanging a few words with him, he quickly left with Chen Xiu.
As soon as they reached the gate of their yard, the master and disciple saw a figure wrapped in a black cloak standing under a tree in the yard, looking up at something.
Xu Zhuo and Chen Xiu looked at each other, opened the gate, and walked in with a smile.
"Brother Shangguan, why did you come here so suddenly without telling me so that I could pick you up?"
Shangguan Wei raised his hand and took off the hood of his cloak, turned around, and smiled gently at the two of them.
"I am sorry for disturbing you, Brother Xu, please forgive me."
It was hard to tell from Xu Zhuo's face whether he minded or not. He smiled and led everyone to sit down. Chen Xiu walked forward to pour tea for both of them, then retreated behind Xu Zhuo with his brows lowered.
"Brother Shangguan, what is the matter with you coming here this time?"
Shangguan Wei did not respond immediately. Instead, he took out a letter from his sleeve and pushed it in front of Xu Zhuo. It was the strange reply letter from Xu Zhuo before.
"I know Brother Xu already suspects me. Chen'er is here this time, and I think his physical condition cannot be hidden from Brother Xu."
When Xu Zhuo heard this, his expression became serious. He put one hand on the letter and looked directly at Shangguan Wei.
"I have always admired the ability and character of Patriarch Shangguan. Although we are not close friends, we are friends who can discuss philosophy together."
"I wonder if Brother Shangguan can speak frankly?"
Shangguan Wei chuckled and rolled up his wide sleeves.
Xu Zhuo and the other man looked over subconsciously and were horrified to find that Shangguan Wei's arm was like a porcelain doll that was about to break. The cracks extended upward along the meridians, which looked shocking.
Shangguan Wei then spoke up and said, "My failure in overcoming the tribulation this time was indeed as the rumors said. It just had nothing to do with the man in black robes. It was done by the right guardian of the demon clan."
"The man in black robes contacted me before and wanted to use Chen'er's body to threaten me, but I refused."
"When I was crossing the tribulation, I had made all the necessary preparations, but I didn't expect the right guardian of the demon clan to suddenly show up. He is a powerful person in the tribulation crossing stage. Haha, he thinks highly of me."
Xu Zhuo looked at him in doubt, "Right Protector? The demons showed up so early?"
Shangguan Wei smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yeah, who would have thought, and this right protector had participated in the war that year, and was a capable general who followed the previous Demon Lord. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it."
Xu Zhuo digested this shocking news before asking the questions that concerned him.
"In that case, what about Brother Shangguan's son?"
"I failed to survive the tribulation and was seriously injured. I was almost dying when the man in black robe showed up and saved my life. He also gave Chen Er medicine so that he could practice."
"The condition is that I join them."
Xu Zhuo and Chen Xiu felt like they had heard something out of the Arabian Nights. How come they couldn't understand what was being said?
"Aren't the demons and the black-robed people in the same group?"
This is basically their consensus. The man in black robe was the one who worked for them when the demons had not yet shown up. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a loyal believer.
Now Shangguan Wei told them that the two gangs were not in the same group? There was someone hiding behind them?
