The red sun hung high on the branches, and the cicadas neighed.

"Is he still outside?"

The leader picked up a pen and wrote down the word "Jing" in a thin golden font, and then asked a random question after finishing the pen.

The maid in the yellow shirt who was grinding in the study nodded and said, "Report to the Hierarch, the Deputy Hierarch is still kneeling outside the hall."

After returning from the punishment hall last night, until noon today, Feng Gui asked himself to be punished and knelt outside Fenghua Hall.

"He is deliberately angry with me."

The leader said displeasedly, put down the Langhao pen in his hand, and took the booklet on the desk to read.I read a few books, but they were all about trivial matters. There was a letter from the dark hall. After opening it, I found that the signature was the fifth.

"Since he loves to kneel, he withdrew his lunch and told him to kneel enough."

The maid in the yellow shirt bowed her head in silence, quietly grinding the hard-to-find mill in her hand.

The letter said that there was a change in the vassal kings in the southeast area, and the local business of the Tianshen Sect was affected. They planned to transfer dozens of major shops there to the dark, or relocate to the nearby Qingdi City.

Specifically how to implement Fifth Yi already has a plan, so I specially submit this letter to ask the leader for instructions.

Feng Yan carefully looked at their plan, and after making some corrections to the deficiencies, he took up a pen and wrote the word "Yun" with cinnabar, and put it aside, and the people from the dark hall will send it to him later.

Outside Fenghua Hall, the sun is burning.

Feng Gui straightened her back and knelt in front of the door, her forehead was dripping with sweat, and her red shirt was wet.

The palace bells hanging under the eaves jingled crisply, as if they could spread across the mountains thousands of miles away, echoing in the ethereal and quiet mountains.There is often a wind blowing in the mountains, so the two green-clothed maids guarding the gate didn't notice it, and the palace bell swayed endlessly when there was no wind.

On another mountain peak, in a cold place on the back of the mountain, there are tens of thousands of snakes entrenched in a ten-meter-deep pit.Intertwined with each other, the snake heads with inverted triangles and colorful colors indicate their venomousness.Some domineering ones used the cohabiting snakes as rations, opened their mouths bigger than their heads, squirmed their bodies, and slowly sent the same kind into their stomachs.

Mottled blood remained in the pit, some iron objects, a corner of clothes, and many bones were scattered everywhere.The newly entered person lay quietly in the pit, his body covered with poisonous snakes, hissing and spitting out snake letters, as if he was looking for a place to bite.

"That kid burped without making a sound, so it's really useless, isn't it?"

The cultist in black looked at the Ten Thousand Snake Cave under his feet, and felt goose bumps.

"After all, I didn't feed the medicine. Before I threw it down, there was only one breath left, and it would be almost as good as being bitten by the poisonous snake underneath. Tsk tsk, it's wrong to be a good son, but to touch the mold of our leader. Who doesn't know, the leader hates these traitors the most. Taught carefully."

The black-clothed believer who was traveling with him shook his head and said with emotion, thinking about how beautiful the past was, he was such an amazing, talented and favored son, but now he is so beautiful and withered, he has fed these beasts.

"I'm sure he's dead, so let's go back and deal with errands, and we'll be terrified here."

"That's right. The densely packed snakes, alas..."

After the two left, about half an hour later, the "corpse" in the pit suddenly moved its fingers and its eyelids trembled slightly.In a daze, he seemed to see a very familiar little snake with blue and red eyes coiled on a branch high above his head.

"Xiaoqing..." whispered softly, like whispering in a dream.

In the evening, the setting sun gradually fell to the west, and the birds on the branches returned to their nests, and the cicadas stopped making noise.

The palace bell outside the Fenghua Palace is like the tune that has been sung for a lifetime before. At this time, it is like an old man who has run out of oil and lamps. Even if the wind blows vigorously, he can no longer make any sound.

The green-clothed maid at the door looked up suspiciously, and thought, maybe it was because she swayed too hard just now, so it must have broken.

"Dinner has been prepared, and the leader has ordered you to invite Mr. Feng to enter."

Lan Yue was personally ordered to invite Feng Gui, and bent down to help her.

"Miss Lan Yue, please go back." Feng Gui was unmoved, and gently brushed her hand away.

Lan Yue sighed inwardly, she had come here no less than three times, but Feng Gui seemed to have made up her mind and was unwilling to get up no matter what.She didn't dare to forcibly pull him up, and the leader was sullen and unwilling to come over in person.

Don't look at Mr. Feng's gentle appearance to these maids, although he has restrained himself when facing the leader, but the arrogance of the superior in his bones is still there.

If you want her to say, the leader and Mr. Feng are a perfect couple, no matter their appearance or identity, standing together constitutes a beautiful scenery.However, the personalities of these two people... When their tempers come up, they are like a needlepoint, and there is no room for slowing down.

There were quite a few people who saw the private meeting last night. If Mr. Feng kneels like this again today, coupled with the guidance of someone with a heart, the rumors outside may have already spread.

At today's regular meeting, both the Great Elders' faction and the Right Protector's faction held onto Young Master Feng's identity, and proposed to remove Young Master Feng from the position of Deputy Hierarch.Although Zuo Hufa didn't directly remonstrate, he also vaguely expressed his disapproval of the deputy leader.

These troubles outside are enough to make the leader angry, but Mr. Feng just sprinkled a lot of oil on it.

Lan Yue had no choice but to let out a long sigh, and had no choice but to go back and report to the leader.

"He still won't get up?"

Facing the table full of delicacies, Feng Yan didn't have the slightest appetite, and he didn't drop his chopsticks for a long time.

"Yes." Lan Yue replied, bowed cautiously and stood in the corner.

Lan Lian, who was waiting quietly on the other side, glanced at her quietly, with mutual understanding of helplessness in her eyes.

pat-

Throwing down the chopsticks, Feng Yan tugged at the skirt of his clothes irritably, and ordered: "Prepare to salute, I will set off first today."

"No." Lan Lian replied rigorously, "I ordered them to wait in Santan Town tomorrow morning."

"You arrange it." Feng Yan took out a token, threw it to Lan Lian, got up and walked out.

Carefully holding the token, Lan Lian looked at the leader's back and sighed helplessly.

"It's agreed to leave tomorrow, sister, what do you think the leader wants to do so impatiently?" Lan Yue joked with her mouth covered.

Starting now, it will be night after descending the mountain. The barren mountains and wild mountains at the foot of Wuling Mountain will be dark at that time, and lonely men and widows will ride together... She doesn't believe that the leader will go alone.

"Stop talking!" Lan Lian spat angrily, "The people on this trip have their own considerations for the Left Protector, so you should go and let me know. As for the salute, after I have sorted it out here, I will send it over with you."

"Your servant obeys." Lan Yue smiled nondescriptly at Qianqiu, "I'm going to find Guardian Zuo right now."

Feng Yan walked to the entrance of Fenghua Hall, and from a distance, he saw the man still maintaining the posture of last night, kneeling there neither humble nor overbearing.It's not like admitting a mistake and asking for punishment, but rather like a provocation.

When passing by Feng Gui's side, he paused slightly, and said coldly: "I'm going to Qingdi City, if you don't want to get up, just kneel until I come back."

After finishing speaking, he walked straight out without even looking at it.

Qingdi City?

Feng Gui frowned slightly, thought for a moment, then got up and followed.It's just that he knelt for a long time, and his feet staggered.The black figure in front said nothing, but slowed down.
