Master, you go first!

"Master, what are you looking for? We want to go to Nanyang City tonight."

"Oh." Xu Yuhong responded absently. Then he realized something was wrong, "What did you say? Nanyang City? It's not that far away."

"Well, it's okay. Let's just come back early. At worst, we'll just stay at the inn."

"Let Qi Jingtai take you there, it will take too long for you to go on your own."

"Okay, can you tell him something?" Gu Jiu asked.

"Well, be careful and keep an eye on the two girls so they don't cause any trouble."

"okay."

Gu Jiu got the permission and turned back to the back mountain with satisfaction. Xu Yuhong is also very tolerant towards Gu Jiu, basically a free-range type. In his heart, he always felt that Gu Jiu was a bit of a naughty child, not what he should be at this age, but he couldn't detect anything unusual, so he simply ignored him.

Back in the small courtyard behind the mountain, Xiaobai was watering the flowers. It seemed that the house had been cleaned. When he saw Gu Jiu coming back,

"Senior brother, what's going on? Does Master agree?"

"No, he will naturally agree to my action."

Just when Gu Jiu was feeling proud, a letter suddenly came to him. Gu Jiu opened it and read it.

"Hey, why did Lao Xu send me a letter on the fly? Is it such a waste of only two steps?"

After taking it apart, Lao Xu asked Gu Jiu to take Shen Nian to the front hall. Someone was looking for him.

"Master, come out and go to the front hall. Someone is looking for you."

Shen Nian stuck his head out in confusion and asked,

"Who?"

"I don't know, Master didn't say."

"Let's go then."

After saying that, Shen Nian took Gu Jiu to the front hall of Danfeng.

As soon as they entered the entrance of the hall, they saw Yin Deren, sitting in the guest seat talking to Xu Yuhong, but Lao Xu didn't seem to like to talk to him.

"Master, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Well, you must have met Deacon Yin of Guangming Zong," Xu Yuhong said, "He's here to give you an invitation."

At this time Yin Deren came over and handed over a post.

"Master Nephew Shen, this is an invitation to join the sect. With this, you can directly enter the inner sect of our Guangming Sect. Take a look. Our sect master asked me to invite you personally. I take it very seriously."

Shen Nian took the post, scanned it a little and said,

"Thank you for the invitation, but I still have a lot of things to do here, and I may have to live up to your kindness."

Gu Jiu was muttering beside her, "What else do you do besides practicing, beating me and eating my food?"

"That's okay. I've already obtained your master's consent. It's up to you to decide whether to go or stay. You don't have to worry about that." Yin Deren thought that Shen Nian was afraid that his master would disagree and dare not agree.

"It's natural. It's not because of Master that I'm not going. Please don't misunderstand me, Deacon Yin."

"Well, that's a pity." Yin Deren thought for a while, he couldn't just grab it if he didn't want to. After all, all the sects were friendly on the surface, so he took a step back and said, "You don't have to do it for a while, nephew Shen." If you are eager to refuse, please keep the invitation. The Southern Border Competition will be held in our sect three years later. You can make a decision after you go there. The sect welcomes you to join at any time."

Shen Nian nodded and said hello. Everyone had said this, so it was not easy to refute the upper sect's face, so he put away the post and thanked him.

"Thank you, Deacon Yin, for your appreciation."

"You're welcome."

After Yin Deren finished his work, although it was somewhat different from what he expected, he still handed over the post and said goodbye and left Danfeng.

Shen Nian's rejection was like a student in Gu Jiu's previous life giving up the admission notice from a prestigious university. Gu Jiu couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.

Xu Yuhong is also very satisfied. His apprentice still does not forget his roots. Although he has only been with him for a few years, he is much better than some monks who only know how to climb up. Introductory posts from upper-level sects are something ordinary monks can only ask for.

Just as Danfeng was praising Shen Nian, someone from Lingfeng on the other side ran to stop Yin Deren, it was Li Yuzhu. She is a very strong person and will not let it go as long as there is an opportunity to improve her cultivation.

Having seen Yin Deren flying to Danfeng before, he guessed the general outline of the matter. He also guessed that a person like Shen Nian would not abandon Danfeng and run to the Guangming Sect. From her point of view, Shen Nian couldn't be innocent because she was too emotionally bound. This was evident from the fact that she vented her anger on Tan Shuyi. She believed from the bottom of her heart that this was an obstacle to the monk's practice, and sooner or later, these fetters would drag down her path of practice.

After listening to Li Yuzhu's talk about his desire to join the Guangming Sect, Yin Deren hesitated a little and felt that the realm of Foundation Establishment was not bad. He would be able to advance to the level of alchemy cultivation soon after joining the sect, and the sect leader should also welcome it. So he agreed to Li Yuzhu's request.

So Li Yuzhu left with Yin Deren without even saying hello. I don't know how angry Feng Hui, who is Li Yuzhu's master, will be after learning about it, but to Li Yuzhu, these are all insignificant.

In the Danfeng Hall, before the three of them left, Xiaobai came running over out of boredom.

"Master, just tell me if it's because you can't bear to leave me. No one as sunny and handsome as me can say that he would leave me alone." Gu Jiu teased Shen Nian shamelessly.

"Oh, you are really thick-skinned. It's amazing. You love to wear high hats on yourself at a young age." Shen Nian rolled his eyes.

Xu Yuhong also interjected with a happy face, "It's never your turn. No matter what, you can't bear to let me, an old man, go through all the hard work to bring her up."

"Yes, yes, what you said makes sense," Gu Jiudao, "Hey, Master, why do you look a few years younger?"

"Is there any?" Xu Yuhong touched his face.

"Yes, do you think so?" Gu Jiu turned to look at Xiao Bai and Shen Nian.

"It seems true," Shen Nian said, "So the master's physical condition has improved after he fully recovered. It's really a blessing in disguise."

"Yes, yes, yes, Master, looking at you now, I feel that although I am also a handsome boy, I am not as good as you. I give up, but the main reason for giving up is that I haven't grown up yet." Gu Jiu teased. , "If you go to the temple fair right now, the ladies of some famous family might chase you."

Although Xu Yuhong was teased, everyone likes nice words. He said calmly,

"Go, go, you're the only one with a poor mouth."

"Hey, I'm telling the truth. Why don't you come with us tonight?"

"Yes, yes, master, let's go together." Xiaobai praised from the side.

"Okay, Master, let's go together. Don't read books and plant medicine every day. Come and have fun with us." Shen Nian also expressed his opinion in a timely manner.

Seeing how enthusiastic the little Sambo was, Xu Yuhong thought for a while and felt that it was not a big deal, so he nodded and agreed.
