Hard to be a master

Before Gu Qinglan got angry, Zhao Qingzhou rushed over and knelt down in front of him, his surprise was beyond words: "Master, you are finally back!"

Gu Qinglan looked down at him, with a calm face, nodded casually, and said lightly: "Get up. I heard that you proposed this matter today?"

Hearing Gu Qinglan's question, Zhao Qingzhou suddenly became apprehensive, and was a little uncertain about his attitude for a while, so he said cautiously: "Master, I..."

Gu Qinglan didn't wait for him to finish, and said, "It's good to discuss the matter without favoritism."

Zhao Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief, and then stood up from the ground.

Gu Qinglan's eyes lightly passed over Shen Ziliu, and then turned back to Qiu Ming.He was tall and powerful, and there was obviously no contempt in his eyes, but Qiu Ming felt slighted and despised.He wanted to get rid of this disgusting feeling, but the other party's sense of oppression was too strong, and Qiu Ming was suppressed a head short in terms of momentum.

Gu Qinglan tidied his cuffs and said slowly: "Qiu Ming, right? Even if it is a disciple of the same school, as long as there is a real mistake, I will not cover it up. But if there is no evidence, I advise you to be cautious. Back then, when Guan Jingxuan formed a pill, No matter how unreasonable you think it is, no one can come up with real evidence to prove that he cheated so far, so just shut up. If you can't do it, it doesn't mean that others can't do it either. If anyone uses this incident to discredit me in the future For Qinghui Palace’s reputation, don’t blame me, a senior, for being rude!”

Qiu Ming moved his lips, but finally remained silent.Because as Gu Qinglan said, although many people firmly insisted that Guan Jingxuan cheated in the alchemy trial back then, no one could provide evidence, and there has been no similar situation since then.Qiu Ming actually did a lot of investigation and research in private, but he couldn't find any clues, otherwise he wouldn't have to wait until today to find out the matter with an excuse.

Originally, he and Guan Jingxuan did not have any personal grievances. At the beginning, it was just that he could not accept people who were not qualified to form a golden core. After all, as a person who formed a golden core, he knew how difficult it is to form a golden core.Unexpectedly, he was supposed to be on the side of justice, but because he wanted to uphold justice, he was kicked out of his cave. Qiu Ming couldn't swallow this breath anymore, and vowed to let Guan Jingxuan get the punishment he deserved.

When Qi Yue was still in Kunlun, he didn't dare to break ground on Taisui's head. When Qi Yue ascended to the ascension, Guan Jingxuan consciously hid his tail and behaved like a man. He rarely showed up in Kunlun, so Qiu Ming couldn't catch him.Decades later, Qiu Ming was about to forget the existence of this person, but after taking Shen Ziliu as his apprentice, Guan Jingxuan gradually became active, and once again entered the attention of everyone, and Qiu Ming also paid attention to him again.

This time, it was hard to catch Guan Jingxuan's irrefutable mistake, but Gu Qinglan appeared in the middle of it. Although Qiu Ming remained silent at this moment, the fire in his heart burned even more.

Gu Qinglan ignored Qiu Ming who was exuding obvious anger, looked at Guan Jingxuan with cold eyes, and said, "As for Guan Jingxuan—for ignoring the rules, those who deserve punishment must be punished."

In front of Gu Qinglan, Guan Jingxuan was like a child who knew he had made a mistake and was waiting for his parents to punish him. He didn't dare to show his anger, and obediently waited for Gu Qinglan to pronounce the sentence on him.

Qi Shu, who was sitting right in front of the hall, didn't say anything about Gu Qinglan's somewhat obtrusive behavior, and seemed to be happy to see him handle the matter.With Qi Shu's acquiescence, Xia Wumeng and Wen Kang naturally didn't say much, they just quietly watched the coming and going of the few people in the hall.

At this moment, another voice sounded from the entrance of the hall, instantly attracting the attention of everyone in the hall.

"Fengzheng Shangzun wants to punish him, so he will punish me as well."

Gu Qinglan has been away from Kunlun for many years, and many juniors don't know him, so when he entered the palace just now, he didn't cause much commotion.At this time, the person who came in was more familiar to everyone, and there was a buzzing whisper in the hall for a while.

After Gu Qinglan saw who was coming, she didn't even move her eyebrows, and said in a flat tone: "Yin Lan Shangzun."

In terms of seniority, Gu Qinglan is two generations older than Ling Xifeng, but Ling Xifeng just nodded at him and greeted him politely as if he were his peers.After entering the hall, Ling Xifeng greeted Qi Shu, Xia Wumeng, and his master Mrs. Wen first, then walked calmly to the place where Qiu Ming was seated just now under the gaze of everyone, and took the empty handbag with him. The chair that came out was lifted up.

Guan Jingxuan was secretly lamenting what a good day it was today, not counting Sun Yumo who was out, Kunlun, the masters who usually see their heads and tails, almost gathered together.Looking up, Ling Xifeng, who came back with a chair, put the chair behind him, ignored Shen Ziliu who was staring at him hostilely, looked at Guan Jingxuan reproachfully, and said, "Don't you know if you feel unwell? Sit down. "

Guan Jingxuan was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously said, "No need—"

Ling Xifeng stared at him fiercely, and said word by word: "Sit down!"

"..."

Guan Jingxuan sat down on the chair silently.

Shen Ziliu's face suddenly changed from a little ugly to extremely ugly, and now he himself is very confused, he doesn't know whether to be angry that Guan Jingxuan obeyed Ling Xi's rumors or should be angry that he didn't notice that Guan Jingxuan was unwell at all.

Suddenly, a cool force gently wrapped Shen Ziliu's clenched fist. He turned his head and looked at Shangguan Jingxuan's comforting eyes. hand, slowly conveying a warm spiritual power to him.This time, Guan Jingxuan accepted it silently and did not refuse, which finally eased the depression in Shen Ziliu's heart a little.

Ling Xifeng naturally noticed the small movements of the master and apprentice, but he just glanced coldly and didn't say much.He glanced at the people in the hall, and his eyes stopped for a while on Zhao Qingzhou and Qiu Ming. Both of them felt an inexplicable chill behind their backs. Fortunately, he quickly looked away and looked at Gu Qinglan.

"Master Fengzheng just said that he wanted to punish Jingxuan?"

Gu Qinglan has already entered the tribulation stage, and is only one step away from ascension. In terms of cultivation, only Qi Shu can beat him among the people present. However, when Ling Xifeng, who is in the transformation stage, stands opposite him, his momentum is not lost at all. .

Gu Qinglan said: "He made a mistake, so he will naturally be punished."

Ling Xifeng said: "What's the reason?"

Gu Qinglan said: "Influence the trial."

Ling Xifeng said: "But I think that after merits and demerits are offset, it should be rewarded rather than punished."

Gu Qinglan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "How do you say that?"

Ling Xifeng said: "If it hadn't been for Jing Xuan who gave his life to protect him that day, with the help of those young boys who have not yet formed alchemy, none of them would have been able to escape from You Mingjiu's mouth. If you want to punish him, his injuries are more than enough."

Gu Qinglan snorted coldly, and said: "Rewards and punishments should be clearly defined. If merits and demerits can be easily offset, wouldn't everyone be able to do evil with confidence."

Ling Xifeng seemed to be waiting for his words, the corners of his lips twitched, and said: "In this way, as long as you don't do evil, then you can offset your merits and demerits, right?"
