Pawn Crossing the River

The matter came to an end at this point. The Third Division and the Emperor Jiushi left one after another, and the Li family and several great Xuanwu officials were not allowed to stay.

The three first-rank officials asked the emperor to clean up the mess for them. What they were thinking about at the moment was how to apologize to the emperor, and at the very least, they had to have the right attitude.

The Li family were not members of the imperial court, so they did not have to plead guilty to the emperor, but they had to plead guilty to the imperial preceptor.

After all, the Imperial Master has already spoken, and the relevant people must be dealt with seriously. It is said that there is no joke in the king. When you reach the position of National Master, there will be no joke in what you say. There must be an explanation. Even if you lift it high and put it down gently, you still have to lift it up first. During this time, they also need to have an attitude.

As for Guanhai Tower, other people will be responsible for it, so these big shots don't need to worry about it.

The Li family dispersed, and so did the people on Qi Xuansu's side.

God He Luo returned to Yin Yue, Madam Bai returned to the ghost kingdom Cave Heaven, and Qi Xuansu was left with Xiao Yin.

"The two of us are the only ones left." Qi Xuansu stood on the cliff behind Guanhai Tower with his hands behind his back, feeling a little emotional.

"Yes." Xiao Yin stood next to Qi Xuansu. Although he was only half the height of Qi Xuansu, his movements were exactly the same. He also had his hands behind his back. He was young and did not know what it was like to feel sad, but he insisted on talking about it, and he was old-fashioned.

Qi Xuansu asked: "Where to go next?"

"Are you asking me?" Xiao Yin opened her eyes wide.

The two looked at each other, and finally Qi Xuansu said: "Yes, we should go to Jin'ao Peak to pick him up. This is business. Let's go and see the old man."

Jin'ao Peak is a place where many old Taoist priests retire and retire, and many of them are experts from all walks of life. It is a bit like a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and it is unpredictable.

But today's Jin'ao Peak is unpredictable.

Because Jin'ao Peak is not far from the top of Xiantai, there was such a big noise on the top of Xiantai. There were thunder and lightning, a giant sword that parted the sea, the emperor's golden sea and the earth master's black energy. Jin'ao Peak You can see clearly here.

Now that the position of Taoist Grand Master is vacant, and the top four Taoist priests have arrived, no one can remain indifferent.

Many old Taoist priests came out of their residences and gathered in the main hall, talking about it.

The main hall here was left by the Donghua lineage in the past. It was also a place for discussions. Now it has become a place for old Taoist priests to chat.

"What is this going on? Are Zhengyi and Quanzhen Taoist fighting at the door of Taiping Tao?"

"Be careful what you say! What does it mean to hit the doorstep? It sounds like the Taoist sect has been split. This is because when the Fifth Generation Grand Master was still alive, he would have less to accuse you of a reactionary speech."

"How old is this? This article was abolished when the Sixth Generation Master came to power. The speaker is not guilty. Are you confused?"

"Here's the Sixth-generation Grandmaster. He denied the Fifth-generation Grandmaster. What happened if he denied it? He caused himself to ascend early and left such a mess. The current situation is all because of him. Thousands of years later, Some people may say that it started and died in the sixth generation.”

"Both of you, please say less, say less. In my opinion, things have not developed to this point yet. This time, the thunder is loud and the rain is small. If we really want to fight, it will not be this battle, and we will not be together." state."

"By the way, I heard something not long ago that the Heavenly Master and the Emperor were going to meet at Da Baoen Temple in Jinling Prefecture. Could it be related to this matter?"

"Well, it's a little bit of an affair. Jinling Mansion is not too far away from Lanling Mansion, and Penglai Island is even closer. It's not surprising that the Heavenly Master, the National Master, and the Emperor appear here, but why did the Earth Master also come here? Could it be that Are you afraid that the Celestial Master will suffer alone, so you come here specifically to help? But if the Earth Master is here to help, why are the National Master and the Celestial Master not doing anything, but the Earth Master and the Emperor are taking action?"

There are many old Taoist priests who are peers of the Third Master. They still have this kind of discernment. They can tell at a glance that the previous vision was caused by the Earth Master and the Emperor, while the Celestial Master and the National Master had a different style.

While a group of old Taoist priests were discussing, Qi Xuansu and Xiao Yin had already arrived outside the gate of Jin'ao Peak.

The news here has long been known that Qi Xuansu is coming, and this is not the first time that Donghua Zhenren has sent people here. Last time he sent Pei Xiaoyun, but was blocked by Pei Shenfu, but Pei Xiaoyun did not leave, but Keep waiting here.

Seeing that Qi Xuansu was safe and sound, Pei Xiaoyun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Who would have thought that there would be such a big fuss. If he had known it would happen, then Master Donghua would probably not have sent Qi Xuansu here.

Pei Xiaoyun wanted to ask but couldn't, so in the end he could only say politely: "Master Qi, you have worked hard all the way."

Qi Xuansu waved his hand: "If you don't talk about this, what will the old man say?"

Pei Xiaoyun looked sad: "Pei's magic talisman is on the mountain."

It seems that this time the quarrel was very unpleasant, and there was even suspicion of a quarrel. Pei Xiaoyun did not need to address him with honorifics, and simply called him by his first name.

Qi Xuansu pondered for a moment: "What did Pei Shenfu say?"

Pei Xiaoyun hesitated for a moment and said: "The old man still loves this daughter. During this period of time, Pei Shenfu said a lot in front of the old man, causing a lot of misunderstandings. The old man may have some prejudices."

Qi Xuansu didn't say anything, let alone asked what the stereotype was about, and just motioned for Pei Xiaoyun to continue.

Pei Xiaoyun had no choice but to continue: "If the eldest brother comes here in person, with his weight in the old man's mind, these misunderstandings can definitely be solved. It's just that the eldest brother can't move lightly now, let alone run from Yujing to Jin'ao Peak, so there are some question."

Before Qi Xuansu could say anything, Xiao Yin had already volunteered: "Let me come, I'm best at dealing with the elderly."

Xiao Yin is not good at beating old men, but being loved by everyone. The elders like her. It must be said that this is a talent that others cannot learn.

Qi Xuansu denied: "Mr. Pei doesn't know you. You can't be better than Pei Shenfu? He is his biological daughter."

The logic here is very simple. Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, Qi Niang, Cihang Zhenren, Jiang Da Zhenren, Wu Niang, all have no children, so they have a lot of emotions on Xiao Yin. But this is not the case with Mr. Pei. He not only has biological children, but more than one.

There is another problem here. Zhenren Donghua has no children, but Pei Shenfu has children, that is, Yao Pei, who is his biological granddaughter. As a result, Qi Xuansu took Yao Pei's position. Pei Shenfu, as a daughter, cried in front of the old man, and the old man would definitely have some opinions.

If it is a biological grandson and granddaughter, then it can be said that the fat water does not flow to outsiders. Qi Xuansu is a pure outsider in terms of blood relationship.

Xiao Yin changed his words and said, "Then let me deal with Pei Shenfu. I am the best at beating up bad women."

Qi Xuansu said helplessly, "You don't want to beat your daughter in front of your father. Forget it, I will handle this matter. You can do it according to my instructions."

Xiao Yin took out his sunglasses and put them on, "Don't worry."

Qi Xuansu turned to Pei Xiaoyun and said, "Let's go up the mountain."

The three of them came to Jin'ao Peak. There are three major palaces here, namely Taiqing Palace, Shangqing Palace, and Taiping Palace, which just correspond to Quanzhen Dao, Zhengyi Dao, and Taiping Dao. Each palace is essentially a palace complex with many ancillary buildings. Mr. Pei is in Taiqing Palace.

Qi Xuansu, a disciple of the Donghua lineage, came here for the first time, so Pei Xiaoyun led the way.

He attracted a lot of attention along the way, because Qi Xuansu was too young, but he was dressed like a real person, which was very eye-catching in Jinque. Not to mention his majestic temperament, this young face was unique.

Not to mention that Qi Xuansu was accompanied by Xiao Yin, who was also a second-rank Taiyi Taoist priest, which was even more exaggerated than Qi Xuansu. There was no way, Xiao Yin was promoted by exception based on his real merits, and his merits were too great, and he had outstanding performance in the battles to suppress internal and external enemies.

Many people have guessed Qi Xuansu's identity. On this basis, with a little association, they can conclude that the movement just now is very likely related to Qi Xuansu.

Some old Taoist priests had to take the initiative to greet Qi Xuansu and exchange a few pleasantries.

Qi Xuansu returned the greetings politely regardless of whether he knew him or not.

Some people also wanted to test Qi Xuansu's mouth and ask what happened just now.

Qi Xuansu just said that he didn't know what was going on. Now the situation is unclear, and it depends on how the big shots above plan to deal with it. Qi Xuansu must be consistent with the above, unify the caliber, and not say too much, let alone talk nonsense.

Qi Xuansu came all the way to the Taiqing Palace area, and then saw Pei Shenfu standing at the gate of the palace from a distance.

Pei Xiaoyun's face was not very good, and he did not speak.

Qi Xuansu stepped forward and said, "So Pei Daoyou did not leave. I thought that when the Earth Master left, Pei Daoyou also left."

Pei Shenfu said coldly, "The Earth Master came to Qizhou for official business, and I came to Qizhou for personal business. What does it have to do with me whether the Earth Master leaves or not?"

Qi Xuansu said, "Just now, a senior from the Li family said that private and official business are the same. In the final analysis, we are all doing things for the Taoist sect. It is not easy to distinguish between public and private. Most of the time, we still have to take both public and private into account. Take the matter between Master and Cihang Zhenren as an example. It is not only a private matter between the two, but it has a great impact on the Taoist sect, so it has to be considered as an official matter. I came to Qizhou this time, and it is not easy to say whether it is an official or private matter. I just hope that Pei Daoyou will not sacrifice public business for personal business."

Pei Shenfu narrowed his eyes: "When did I sacrifice public business for personal business?"

Qi Xuansu smiled: "If there is no, then encourage it. If there is, then correct it. It is best if there is no."

A trace of anger flashed across Pei Shenfu's face.

This is indeed not what the younger generation should say to the elders, but as a master, Qi Xuansu is indeed qualified to say this.

To put it bluntly, with Qi Xuansu's current status, it is not impossible to compete with Master Donghua, after all, theoretically, the thirty-six masters are equal.

Of course, it will be a matter for Master Donghua to settle accounts with Qi Xuansu in the future. Wang Jiaohe also resisted at the beginning, and his ending was not very good.

In addition, from the perspective of Qi Niang, Pei Shenfu is actually Qi Xuansu's sister-in-law, and the two are equal at once.

Pei Shenfu did not get angry after all, but turned around and said: "Father knows you are coming and is waiting for you. Come with me."
