Fellow Taoist: Do you have any spiritual stones on you?

After wandering around Mingyue Palace for a few days, Gu Feng returned to the altar space.

Seeing Nangong Mingyue holding a recipe she found from somewhere and dumping some food on her head, Gu Feng's forehead was filled with veins.

At first he didn't believe that there was no perfect woman in the world, but after meeting Nangong Mingyue...

Nangong Mingyue's talent, appearance, and figure were all top-notch in the Eastern Saint Region, but her food skills were beyond description. Gu Feng just wanted to bang his head against the wall after eating.

"You're back!" Noticing Gu Feng standing quietly aside, Nangong Mingyue smiled brightly and motioned to him to just wait for the food.

Gu Feng's brows jumped, and he quickly stepped forward to hug her gently, and said casually: "It's enough. I can't finish it even if I make too much food."

"I feel like you've been eating less and less recently. Do you have a bad appetite? I'll make you some new dishes today. Eat more then." Nangong Mingyue patted Gu Feng's groping hand away and smiled. said.

"Maybe you fed me too much. As the saying goes, I am beautiful and delicious. I have tasted delicious food that is hard to find in the world. I have no feelings for these mundane things anymore!" Gu Feng pinched Nangong Mingyue's chin and kissed it a few times. Sighed out loud.

"You are the only one who can speak..." Nangong Mingyue said with a sweet smile and said angrily.

She thought she was not a soft-eared person, and she didn't like to hear flattery, but she had no resistance at all to Gu Feng's flirtatious words.

For example, right now, she was concentrating on making food, but Gu Feng had already pulled her to the bed.

After the two of them talked about it, Nangong Mingyue finally remembered that food was still burning on the stove nearby.

"It's all your fault that all the carefully prepared food is burnt..." Nangong Mingyue pinched Gu Feng's waist and said slightly reproachfully.

"Snapped--"

"You rebelled. I dare to blame your man." Gu Feng patted the woman's buttocks as a punishment, and then took out a piece of tissue paper from the storage ring with probably dozens of lists on it.

"Which of the elders here do you think is more suspicious?"

Nangong Mingyue stretched out her jade hand, took it and took a look, her two beautiful eyebrows knitted together, "Do you suspect that there are chess pieces planted by Guan Xingtian in it?"

"Well, in the few days I've been out, I've met a lot of elders, but there are only a few of them who asked me to deal with myself, openly or secretly. It's very suspicious!" Gu Feng said truthfully.

"Well, there is indeed something wrong with you still daring to cause trouble after I have given you repeated orders not to cause trouble to you privately." Nangong Mingyue said sternly.

Mingyue Palace has strict rules. Even if the orders issued by the palace master are unreasonable, everyone from elders to ordinary disciples will only look for opportunities to raise doubts. They will never dare to make their own decisions and act privately.

“If you want to become an elder of Mingyue Palace, you must not only reach the level of divine transformation, but also need to undergo careful investigation... I can’t see who has the problem for the moment.

How about finding a reason for them all, putting them under house arrest, and slowly interrogating them? "A flash of light flashed across Nangong Mingyue's beautiful eyes.

"The undercover agents are very smart. They use some elders as smoke bombs... There is no need to make a big fanfare, just pay attention." Gu Feng shook his head and objected.

Putting dozens of elders under house arrest is not a big deal, but Guan Xingtian will definitely be able to detect any signs of trouble, which is very disadvantageous.

These are all soldiers and generals, so there is no need to pay attention to them at the moment.

"Has Qu Yanran shown any signs of waking up recently?" Gu Feng asked casually.

"Uh..., not yet." Nangong Mingyue said guiltily.

Gu Feng just thought of it and asked, but didn't take it to heart. Of course, he didn't notice the change in the expression of the woman in his arms.

......

One day near the end of the year, the Mingyue Palace annual competition was held as scheduled!

"Welcome Palace Master!"

Nangong Mingyue was dressed up and, surrounded by a group of elders, gracefully landed on the throne on the high platform.

"Get up!" Her voice was cold, her behavior was dignified, and her whole body was filled with a noble aura. She was like a goddess who came to the world and made people afraid to look directly at her.

"Thank you Palace Master!"

Gu Feng followed the crowd, bowing and shouting.

He glanced at Nangong Mingyue high up in the gap, his eyes were bright, he couldn't help but feel excited, and said to himself: She must wear this dress tonight, and then hehehe——

Thinking of this, his body trembled slightly, and this subtle movement was sensed by Hua Wenyue, who was standing side by side with him.

The latter said with an expressionless voice: "Why are you having epilepsy? Don't tremble in this situation!"

Hearing this, Gu Feng's forehead darkened, and he said with a strange smile: "When it comes to trembling flower branches, no one like you is good at it. I don't know who it was last night. His whole body was shaking so hard, and he kept saying, 'I can't do it. I can't do it...', hehe!"

As soon as these words came out, the red glow flashed across Hua Wenyue's smooth face, and she glared at Gu Feng secretly angrily, "Don't act like a hooligan in this kind of situation. There are many elders present. If someone notices anything unusual, you have Nine lives cannot be left to chance.”

"Hey..." Gu Feng wanted to say something else, but he felt countless eyes focused on him.

Looking up, I suddenly realized that Nangong Mingyue had just announced the official start of the annual competition. As the host of this competition, he should take the stage!

Ding Ding Ding-

Gu Feng walked up to the high platform with small steps. He bowed to Nangong Mingyue and solemnly called him 'Master' before facing the audience: "Ahem, let's start!"

After saying this, he puffed up his chest and stood aside.

The whole place suddenly fell into silence.

Countless eyes suddenly focused on Gu Feng.

In these eyes, some are confused, some are stunned, some are speechless, some are watching a good show...

The annual competition, as an annual grand event of Mingyue Palace, is not a simple competition, but requires a comprehensive summary of Mingyue Palace's operating conditions, disciples' cultivation status, and some major events over the past year.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a large-scale annual meeting. In comparison, the competition between disciples is not the focus.

"This is too hasty. Gu Xiaofeng hosting the annual competition is a disaster!"

"He was entrusted with an important task and should have performed well and done his homework... Now it seems that he may not even know the process of the competition."

"This kid is finished. He didn't pay attention to the tasks assigned by the Palace Master. Who gave him the courage!"

"A deck of good cards was played to pieces. I thought he had a good grasp on the position of the next palace master. But now it turns out that a stubborn stone is a stubborn stone after all. Even if the surface is coated with beautiful jade, the secret will eventually be revealed."

"Do you remember that more than ten years ago, Elder Li presided over the annual competition, and there were some mistakes, and the palace owner was furious..."

"Of course I remember that Elder Li originally hoped to become the deputy palace master, but because of this incident, he was directly sent out..."

"Gu Xiaofeng's mistake is a thousand times bigger than Elder Li's. Now he is finished."

"We have seen a good show. Later, the Palace Master will be furious and punish Gu Xiaofeng on the spot. Don't be surprised."

"He has no future..."

"The higher the praise, the harder the fall. After all the hardships, everyone can only occasionally remember that there was once a direct disciple named Gu Xiaofeng who flashed across the sky of Mingyue Palace like a shooting star."

"..."

Whispers from all over the place reached Nangong Mingyue's ears, and her eyelids twitched.

She really didn't expect that Gu Feng, who had been busy for so long, would turn a blind eye to the process of the annual competition and make a joke in front of the public.

However, he was her man after all, so she couldn't possibly blame him on the spot.

"Why don't you start? Is it possible that everyone is not interested in the rewards of this year's annual competition?" Nangong Mingyue said coldly.

The two deputy palace masters next to them looked at each other and saw the hesitation in each other's eyes.

After struggling for a while, one of the deputy palace masters took a step forward and respectfully reminded Nangong Mingyue: "Palace Master, according to previous years' practice, before the disciples compete, you need to..."

"I have been practicing too much recently and I forgot about this for a while. Gu Xiaofeng, come here and tell me why the process of this competition is so simple?" Nangong Mingyue said coldly, with a hint of reproach.

Everyone's eyes turned to Gu Feng again.

The elders who were dissatisfied with Gu Feng and the disciples who were jealous of Gu Feng had weird smiles on their faces.

Gu Xiaofeng is finished!

Hua Wenyue below was anxious and gritted her teeth. Just as she was about to step forward and explain a few words to Gu Feng, she saw Gu Feng curling his lips and coming to Nangong Mingyue.

"You dare to make me unable to step down in public. I will deal with you tonight." Gu Feng thought in his heart, but the look on his face was unusually respectful.

"Palace Master Qi, monks have a long lifespan, and a year passes in the blink of an eye. This disciple believes that there is no need to go through those cumbersome procedures every year.

It is necessary to inspect the disciples' cultivation progress every year; as for performance reporting, it can be arranged every three to five years. "

"An annual competition, held for ten days and a half, is a waste of time. Fortunately for you, you don't need to stand. We disciples and elders must not only stand, but also stand upright. How can we bear this? ....."

Gu Feng's light words spread throughout the audience, and everyone looked at this direct disciple standing in front of Nangong Mingyue, talking eloquently, as if they were looking at a monster.

Is this kid crazy? How dare you talk to the palace master like this?

You know, the palace master is famously strict. Don't think that just because you are a direct disciple, you can be so arrogant and offend her, you will be thrown into the cold palace.

The elders were all trembling, lowering their heads subconsciously and not daring to raise their eyes.

Especially those elders who were close to Gu Xiaofeng were frightened out of their wits.

It’s really life-threatening!

Gu Xiaofeng was favored by the Palace Master, so he couldn't fake it, but he couldn't speak to the Palace Master in such a frivolous tone!

In an instant, they felt that their bright future was becoming bleak and the road to the future was cut off.

The two deputy palace masters also looked confused. Their pupils shrank, their Adam's apples squirmed, and they couldn't say a word.

In their knowledge, they have never seen such a bold disciple.

Hua Wenyue trembled all over, feeling that a disaster was imminent. She didn't care whether she was exposed or not, so she stepped up to the stage to apologize for Gu Feng.

"It's okay, don't come up, Nangong Mingyue won't punish me!"

Gu Feng had already caught a glimpse of Hua Wenyue's actions and immediately stopped him.

With the close relationship between him and Nangong Mingyue, Gu Feng was confident, provided that Hua Wenyue could not be exposed.

Once exposed, Baobu Qi Nangong Mingyue would be furious and punish him on the spot.

Nangong Mingyue, who was sitting on the throne, had an expressionless face, but in her heart she was scolding Gu Feng for being a bastard for making it difficult for her to step down. Just as she was about to say something, the voices of a group of elders rang out.

"Palace Master, Gu Xiaofeng has violated the rules of Mingyue Palace for thousands of years and should be severely punished."

"Gu Xiaofeng has committed a serious crime. He has betrayed the trust of the Palace Master..."

"Palace Master, Gu Xiaofeng used the annual competition to crazily accept bribes from the elders!"

"Not only that, he also buys and sells competition rankings, which is simply lawless..."

"The witnesses and material evidence are all there. I sincerely ask the Palace Master to bring order to the chaos and severely punish Gu Xiaofeng!"

"..."

The wall fell and everyone pushed back. Countless disciples and elders saw the general trend and spoke out boldly.

For a time, Gu Feng was accused by thousands of people and became a heinous villain.

Nangong Mingyue really had a headache at the moment. If she had known this, she shouldn't have thought of teasing Gu Feng.

As a result, it was difficult for him to step down.

"Quiet!" Seeing the palace master's displeasure, the two deputy palace masters shouted at the same time, suppressing the noisy atmosphere.

"What Gu Xiaofeng said makes sense!"

Nangong Mingyue's brief words were like a sea of ​​thunder, crashing into the millions of monks present.

The thunder made everyone fascinated and confused.

In an instant, many people subconsciously picked their ears, thinking they were hearing hallucinations.

"This is my negligence. I didn't pay attention to the lengthy annual competition, which is a kind of torture for everyone!"

"Everyone use your spiritual power to gather chairs and sit down."

Nangong Mingyue's words once again shocked everyone's outlook and gave them an unreal feeling.

If it weren't for the genuine aura of the ninth level of the Divine Transformation Realm, they would have thought that the palace master at this moment had been replaced by someone else.

How else to explain all this?
