Dear Lingshi

"Junior brother, do you mean that you just came back to take a look and you will leave in a few days?" Senior Brother Li Yuanji asked Uncle Hu with ill intention.

When Uncle Hu heard this, he had a bad feeling, but he still nodded.

Sure enough, when Li Yuanji saw Uncle Hu nod, he said with a half-smile: "Junior brother, you should know the rules of our Ziyang Sword Sect. If you insist on leaving, you should leave your cultivation behind."

Hearing this, everyone's faces became solemn.

But Li Yuanji suddenly changed the subject and said to the sect master: "Master, my junior brother Nangong Zhaohu has been away from the sect for a hundred years. It is not easy for him to practice. It is a blessing for him to return now. Please consider our friendship and let junior brother Nangong become our guest elder. In this way, junior brother can come and go freely, which is a win-win solution. Junior brother, you should stay in the sect for a few more days and have a good reunion with us."

As soon as these words were spoken, the sect master's face relaxed. After all, if such a powerful Jindan expert was allowed to leave, it would be a great loss to the sect. If his power was wasted, he would not be able to bear it.

But after hearing what Li Yuanji said, Uncle Hu and Lu Yunsheng were both surprised. Logically speaking, Uncle Hu was Jianqing's old lover, and now that Uncle Hu was back, he posed the greatest threat to Li Yuanji. Not only did Li Yuanji not take the opportunity to embarrass Uncle Hu, he actually spoke for Uncle Hu at this time.

"That's great. Nangong Zhaohu, listen to my orders!" Just as the two were thinking about the purpose of Li Yuanji's words, the voice of the sect leader suddenly came.

"Disciple is here!" Uncle Hu quickly bowed in response.

"From now on, you, Nangong Zhaohu, will serve as a guest elder of my Ziyang Sword Sect. Five days later, I will announce it to the entire sect at Jianqing and Yuanji's wedding."

"Disciple obeys your command!" Uncle Hu responded helplessly at this time.

"Okay, you just came back, get closer to your fellow disciples." The sect leader was in a very good mood at this time, and said to Uncle Hu with a smile.

"Yes!" Uncle Hu responded, and then took Lu Yunsheng and Xuan'er out of the hall.

Jianqing and Li Yuanji also walked out of the hall at this time.

Uncle Hu saw the two of them and asked Jian Qing, "Junior sister, where is the grave of our master?"

Jian Qing heard this, a trace of sadness appeared on his face, and he said to Uncle Hu: "It's in the back mountain, follow me."

Under the leadership of Jianqing, everyone came to Jianyin's tomb again.

Uncle Hu looked at the three-foot-high mound of earth and suddenly thought of the old man who treated him like his own son. He never expected that this farewell would be forever.

When Uncle Hu thought of this, he burst into tears and knelt in front of the bluestone tablet and kowtowed three times.

"Junior sister, Master already had a golden elixir body and a lifespan of 500 years. How could he leave us so early?" Uncle Hu raised his head and asked Jian Qing.

When Uncle Hu said this, Li Yuanji's face suddenly froze.

No one else noticed, but Lu Yunsheng keenly sensed something unusual about this person.

After the abnormal words he heard in the hall just now, Lu Yunsheng had been paying attention to this person's actions, and at this time he indeed discovered a clue.

"Father suddenly went astray during his cultivation. By the time we discovered him, he was already..." Jian Qing choked up and cried as he said this.

A trace of sadness appeared on the faces of the people around him, but Li Yuanji breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Lu Yunsheng became even more confused.

As if he noticed someone was staring at him, Li Yuanji looked towards Lu Yunsheng.

"Junior brother, are this young man and this girl your children?" Li Yuanji used this to divert everyone's attention, while also inquiring about the identities of Lu Yunsheng and Xuan'er.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Lu Yunsheng and Xuan'er.

"These are my young master and young lady." Uncle Hu introduced them to everyone.

Due to the commotion that just happened in the hall, Uncle Hu didn't want to get involved at this time and did not reveal to everyone that Lu Yunsheng and Xuan'er had also practiced the secret method of Dantian sword-forging.

Fortunately, Lu Yunsheng and Xuan'er's cultivation was much higher than everyone else's, and these people could not see the depth of Lu Yunsheng and Xuan'er, and just regarded them as juniors who had just started practicing.

Even though Uncle Hu was on guard and didn't reveal the truth, Li Yuanji seized on the opportunity and said with a smile: "Young Master? Young Lady? Are you a Jindan cultivator and you are a slave in someone else's house?"

Hearing this, Lu Yunsheng was furious and was about to speak, but Uncle Hu spoke first: "Back then, I was harmed by a villain and fled for my life. Fortunately, I was saved by my master. Now I have this cultivation because of my master. So what if I have to be a slave?"

After Uncle Hu said this, Lu Yunsheng realized that Uncle Hu was murdered when he left the sect.

Jian Qing also reacted at this time, and quickly asked Uncle Hu: "Brother, what happened back then? Didn't everyone say that you died at the hands of a monster?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Yuanji's face changed. His whole body tensed up, his eyes fixed on Uncle Hu, and at the same time, his true energy quietly rose in his body, as if he was ready to attack Uncle Hu at any time.

Seeing this, Lu Yunsheng said in his heart: "There is indeed a problem." At the same time, the soul sword in his sea of ​​consciousness was ready to go.

As long as this person dares to attack Uncle Hu, he will kill him in the first place.

"Hey, let's not talk about it anymore. Let the past be the past." Uncle Hu seemed to have noticed something. He just laughed and pulled Lu Yunsheng and Xuan'er to other places.

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Yuanji's body suddenly relaxed.

Li Yuanji was also at the Jindan stage. Except for Jian Qing, all the cultivators present were at the foundation-building stage. Jian Qing's mind was attracted by Uncle Hu's words, and no one noticed anything unusual about Li Yuanji.

"What on earth is Li Yuanji trying to do? One moment he speaks up for Uncle Hu, and the next moment he wants to kill Uncle Hu?" Lu Yunsheng really couldn't figure it out.

At night, Uncle Hu was warmly received by his fellow disciples. It was not until late at night that Uncle Hu and his two fellow disciples returned to their guest room.

As soon as he returned to the guest room, Lu Yunsheng couldn't wait to ask Uncle Hu: "Uncle Hu, do you have any grudge against Li Yuanji?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Hu's true energy surged to drive away the alcohol, and he immediately said to Lu Yunsheng: "These things are all in the past. Let's leave here as soon as possible tomorrow morning."

Hearing this, Lu Yunsheng said for no reason: "Don't you want to avenge Master Jianyin?"

When Lu Yunsheng said this, Uncle Hu raised his eyelids and asked quickly, "What did you notice?"

"Master Jianyin did not die from infatuation. During the day, I quietly used my spiritual sense to explore the tomb in front of the cemetery and found that the master's skull had turned completely black. It was obvious that he had been poisoned before his death. Moreover, this poison was an extremely rare soul medicine that specifically targets the soul!"
