The group's beloved wife: She is the phoenix, she is the king

In times of crisis, people always have to be on guard.

--Inscription

This person is Su Xiu.

Originally, he was quite angry when he was called back.

After all, he had never seen anyone so bold as to come to his territory and cause trouble, but the minor official who came to him was in a hurry, so he had to take a break and come back.

Looking at the person sitting on the high platform, Su Xiu's previous arrogance suddenly disappeared.

He saluted tremblingly, "Master Zhenjun, why...why are you here?"

"Oh, if I didn't come, how would I know that you were neglecting your duties?" Yuan Qing sneered.

After these words were spoken, the faces of the priests who were punished by Yuan Qing turned pale.

Even the Heavenly Venerable was extremely respectful. Could this person on the high platform be the one in the legend?

It’s over… Can I get out of this alive today?

In the hall, cries for mercy were heard one after another.

"Master Zhenjun, please show mercy and let us go..."

"Master Zhenjun, we know we were wrong!"

"..."

"Stop making noise, get out!" Yuan Qing waved his hands in annoyance, and the priests fell down one by one.

Seeing Yuan Qing's rage, the priests dared not say anything and fled in panic.

Soon, Su Xiu and Yuan Qing were the only two people left in the hall.

Su Xiu felt his heart suddenly rise to his throat.

It’s over. Now Lord Zhenjun is really angry. Can he leave alive today?

Yuan Qing leaped up and appeared next to Su Xiu.

"What have you been doing lately?"

This old man has a very mixed aura.

Why do I feel like I've gone to where my good disciple is?

Could it be that he has seen her again?

"I went to Li Yuanqi's human world..." Su Xiu said tremblingly, not daring to lie.

(ps: Li Yuanqi is a scale for dividing the world, and is the name of a type of world.)

He has been caught red-handed. If he lies again, he will probably lose his head.

Maybe if he plays the emotional card with Lord Zhenjun, Lord Zhenjun can help him get rid of his worries!

Yuan Qing asked, "Why are you going there instead of being a good Heavenly Lord?"

Li Yuanqi's human world, isn't that where my disciple is?

But it seems that my disciple named that place Xu Nuan.

Could it be that he recognized her disciple...

Su Xiu immediately put on a pitiful look, "Master Zhenjun, my beloved disciple has drifted there, so I came down to the mortal world to look for him."

"Oh? Did you find it?" Yuan Qing asked with interest.

This old man is quite cunning, and she can't give him the opportunity to cheat her out of something.

Su Xiu felt a little aggrieved, "I did find her, but she completely forgot about me as her master. Now she is being protected by a bunch of little bastards who won't let me have any contact with her."

"How could a guy like you who loves his disciple so much bear to let him fall into this state?" Yuan Qing asked suspiciously, but there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

Why is the situation he described so similar to that of my disciple?

Could it be that he is planning to attack my disciple?

Speaking of this, Su Xiu felt even more aggrieved. "I don't know which wolf cub bullied my beloved disciple and his whereabouts have been unknown. I only found him recently, but it's still a little too late..."

"Aren't those wolf cubs a slap in my face? Master Zhenjun, you have to make the decision for me!"

"You can't even protect your own disciple. I think you should find someone else to take over your role as Heavenly Master!" Yuan Qing said with disdain.

Su Xiu was a little dumbfounded. The speech he had prepared was suddenly useless.

"Okay, okay, I didn't come here to listen to your complaints!" Yuan Qing changed the subject.

Her own apprentice hasn't even gotten through this disaster yet, so she doesn't have the extra energy to be kind.

"Do you still remember this thing?" Yuan Qing took out a small transparent bottle and said.

The bottle contained the Suoyuan leech.

At a glance, Su Xiu recognized him, "Master Zhenjun, who are you?"

Master Zhenjun, why are you asking me this?

Could it be that he already knows everything about that place?

So, did Lord Zhenjun come here this time to ask for accountability or does he have some other agenda?

For a moment, many thoughts flashed through Su Xiu's mind and he broke out in a cold sweat.

"I remember that this thing is basically extinct in other places, but why did it appear again?" Seeing that Su Xiu's eyes were evasive, Yuan Qing's tone became colder.

Could it be that this guy has ulterior motives and is deliberately leaving it alone?

If not, it's fine. If so, wait until things are resolved...

Su Xiu noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and lowered his head to make amends, "Master Zhenjun, this matter is of great importance. I did fail in my duty, but I found that all this was planned by someone for a long time, and they had been stirring up trouble in the human world of Li Yuanqi. It's not just this Locking Source Leech, there are other things that are also causing trouble in the world..."

Su Xiu gritted his teeth, knelt down, and said sincerely, "I am powerless to stop it, please help me, Master Zhenjun!"

If those things bring disaster to the human world, then the next step might be the heavenly world...

If we unite with other realms, it will only get more chaotic.

Yuan Qing put the bug away and snorted, "Why didn't you report this earlier?"

"At first, it was just a low-level evil spirit causing trouble. It was originally suppressed, but I didn't expect it to turn into this situation now. I hope that Lord Zhenjun will make the decision!" Su Xiu bowed.

Yuan Qing reached out and helped Su Xiu up, his attitude slightly better, "Get up!"

Apparently, this guy didn't know anything about it.

Su Xiu followed suit and said, "Then Master Zhenjun is willing to help?"

If Master Zhenjun could take action, then his beloved disciple would be saved!

"You said your beloved disciple had gone there. What's his name now? Where is he?" Yuan Qing asked.

When Su Xiu heard this, he felt that the matter had been resolved, and he spilled the beans, "My beloved disciple is now called Fan Nuoxi, more than 20 years old, and is now trapped in the Jingyang City of the Mengshang Continent."

"Is that your disciple? How dare you think about him?" Yuan Qing subconsciously reached out and picked up Su Xiu.

Great! You really are trying to steal my apprentice!

I really want to cut this guy into pieces!

"Master Zhenjun, what does this mean?" Su Xiu said fearfully.

Could it be that Master Zhenjun has also taken a fancy to his precious disciple and wants to kidnap her?

If this is true, then Lord Zhenjun is too... unreasonable!

Yuan Qing threw Su Xiu to the ground, took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, "My disciple was doomed to die, and happened to be stranded there. When did my disciple become yours?"

Hearing this, Su Xiu's body went limp as if struck by lightning, "Master Zhenjun, how could you do this?"

It turns out that Master Zhenjun came here just to snatch my disciple!

How could this be considered helping? It was simply cutting out his heart!

what--

He had taken all kinds of precautions, and he could defend against Teng Zheng, but he could not defend against Master Zhenjun...

Yuan Qing returned to the high platform and sat down, looking down at him and said, "I remember you have something good to remove the Lock Source Leech. I will give you one month to restore peace in the human world. Can you do it?"

"I'm afraid that won't work—" Su Xiu sniffed sadly and said truthfully, "That thing has long since disappeared along with the death of my beloved disciple. I don't have anything better to remove the Lock Source Leech..."

They wanted to snatch his beloved disciple away and create such a huge problem for him. Where could he get help?

How can distant water put out a nearby fire?

It would be better to ask Master Zhenjun directly!

At worst, he can just be my precious disciple's little master in the future...

Yuan Qing said in disbelief, "You mean, when disasters occurred in the areas under your jurisdiction, you sent her to quell them?"

But at that time I was also running around in various circles, and I actually created an opportunity for my disciple to go to the lower world.

But I clearly did not see such a past event in my disciple’s soul…

Could it be that this old man lost his own apprentice, and happened to see that my apprentice was smart, so he took it upon himself to claim him as his own apprentice?

Su Xiu's mind vaguely recalled the scene of that year, and tears rolled down his cheeks. "Of course."

"Master Zhenjun, you must have a lot of treasures, please help save them!"

If Master Zhenjun had already determined that his precious disciple was his, then the sudden appearance of thunder and the punishment of many evil people were also caused by Master Zhenjun, right?

In this way, it all makes sense...
