The Right Protector of the Demon Sect is reborn

"Both of my fellow apprentices who have been with me day and night have said so."

Xue Tang showed no sign of retreat as he answered calmly, pointing a finger at Nan Rongnian who was standing not far away.

"..."

Nan Rongnian had never expected that he would be dragged into the discussion in this way. He looked a little helpless, as he originally just wanted to watch the show.

But after all, Xue Tang has a good relationship with him, and he should help others in need.

"That's right, Elder." The young man replied with a smile, "Senior Brother Xue is not very smart, and it is obvious to the naked eye."

Nan Rongnian's tone was frank and sincere, and he answered without any guilt at all, which stunned the elder.

"But Junior Brother Xue is gifted..."

"Senior Brother Xue is indeed gifted, and he will most likely stand out at this exchange meeting." Nan Rongnian interrupted him without any courtesy, "If the elder says so, it must be guaranteed that as long as you follow your disciple, he will get a good ranking in the competition, right?"

Lou Xinzhou was standing next to Nan Rongnian. She leaned against the side of the boat with a faint smile on her face, and she agreed with what Nan Rongnian said.

Xue Tang's talent is very high among his peers. If Mingmu can give him some guidance, he will have a good chance of getting a good result at the exchange meeting and bring honor to Guanyun. However, the talent of this elder's disciple is only average, so even if he goes there in person, he can't change anything.

“Opportunities come to those who can use them properly, not to those who waste them.”

"you......"

"what happened?"

Seeing that the elder was hit in a sore spot and was about to insult Nan Rongnian, Lou Xinzhou spoke at the right time.

"Elder, do you think there is something wrong with what my disciple said?"

The elder shut up immediately, looking aggrieved, but in the end he had no choice but to admit it against his conscience and answered in a friendly manner.

"Your Excellency, please don't misunderstand me. I think what Junior Brother Nanrong said makes...quite a lot of sense."

After saying that, he glanced at Mingmu and Meng Heshan, who had never said a word, and went to the ark angrily with a group of elders.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for rescuing me."

Seeing that the matter was settled, Meng Heshan walked a few steps to Lou Xinzhou and bowed.

"No need to thank me."

Lou Xinzhou replied that although it was not easy for her to be the head of a sect, Meng Heshan was too cowardly to be the sect leader.

However, she could actually understand that Guanyun used to be a small sect. If the sect leader had not treated the elders in a friendly manner, they might have run away one day. But now that Guanyun has been promoted to one of the six sects, why should she care about them anymore?

"Guanyun is no longer what it used to be. The Sect Master doesn't have to follow the elders anymore."

If Zheng Silu was here, how could those people dare to come to the Ark?

Meng Heshan didn't expect Lou Xinzhou to say this. He paused for a moment before answering.

"Your Excellency is right."

Lou Xinzhou nodded slightly after hearing this. She was just saying it casually, so she didn't care much. So the Ark finally took off, and she returned to the house that Meng Heshan had prepared for her. Nan Rongnian naturally followed her, but unfortunately she was stopped by Xue Tang in the end.

Lou Xinzhou looked back upon seeing this, and seeing it was Xue Tang, he did not stop him, but left directly without waiting for Nan Rongnian.

"Junior brother, thank you for just now."

Xue Tang scratched the back of his head and only then did he feel a little guilty.

"..."

Nan Rongnian was speechless for a long time before he spoke reluctantly.

"Brother, you are quite polite."

"Haha, of course, but I'm just being polite."

Xue Tang smiled brightly, his face still as honest as before, but there seemed to be something more. At least, he knew how to defend what belonged to him.

I don’t know what this guy went through during the more than four months that he was away from Guanyun.

Nan Rongnian smiled helplessly, then tried to pull away the hand that Xue Tang was holding on him, as he was hurrying to find Lou Xinzhou.

"Hey, Junior Brother, what are you doing?" Xue Tang did not intend to let him go. He even turned around and greeted Ma Ziming, "It's been a long time since we three met. Why don't we have a drink together?"

"Not interested in."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Nan Rongnian quickly refused, but Xue Tang ignored his wishes and forcibly pulled him over. He took out a small wooden table from somewhere and put it on the spot. Then he took out several bottles of high-quality spirit wine. Immediately, the aroma of wine filled the air.

"..."

"Brother, don't stick to the Venerable all day long. You don't know that there are many people gossiping about you behind your back."

Perhaps seeing Nan Rongnian's intention to go back to find Lou Xinzhou, Xue Tang said with a smile, but his words seemed casual, but in fact they seemed to be a reminder to him.

The Xue Tang before didn’t have this kind of brains. Did Elder Mingmu say something to him?

It seems that it is worth drinking this wine.

Nan Rongnian frowned deeply and sat down reluctantly.

Ma Ziming came over after being greeted. The young man stood with his arms folded, but for the sake of the wine, he sat down as well.

"It's good wine." Nan Rongnian watched Xue Tang pour the wine for the two of them and said softly, "But, this wine is not something that disciples like us should have."

"Of course." Xue Tang replied as he poured the wine, "My master gave it to me. He said he had treasured it for many years."

It turned out to be the inspiration of Mingmu.

Nan Rong understood it after reading it once.

The exchange conference for disciples in the world of cultivation, as the name suggests, can only be attended by disciples from each sect. The level of cultivation is limited to the foundation-building stage to the Nascent Soul stage, and the opponents of competition and exchange are generally disciples of the same level but from different sects.

The top three will be selected in each level, and only when competing for the top few places will there be competition among fellow disciples.

Because of this rule, Mingmu should want him to help Xue Tang get a ranking. No, he shouldn't be asking him for help. It's only three days' journey to Cangwu, and the time is too short. No matter what kind of advice he gives now, it won't be of much use.

what is that?

"It turned out to be Elder Mingmu's wine, but why would she be willing to share such good spiritual wine with us youngsters?"

Nan Rongnian asked directly.

"Nothing." Xue Tang smiled innocently, and without much thought, he told the reason, "Master, she just wants me to have a good relationship with you, so that in the future, when we are outside, the Venerable will protect you and you will protect me, which is equivalent to the Venerable protecting me."

"puff."

Ma Ziming took a sip of the wine and was still savoring it slowly, but was shocked by Xue Tang's words and almost choked.

Although Meng Heshan had said similar things to him, such words should not be spoken out loud. And "Your Excellency protects you, and you protect me, which is equivalent to your Excellency protecting me" is something only a fool like Xue Tang could say so naturally.
