"This matter is all done by my daughter alone, and has nothing to do with others." Chen Hongzhu said.

The dim candlelight in the Discipline Hall illuminated her profile, and flames danced in her eyes.

Huawei Mountain was in turmoil and restless night, only this place was dead silent.

There was no shouting or berating.The more than ten peak masters and elders in the hall had complicated eyes and occasionally sighed a few times.

Wordless disappointment and resentment turned into swords, pressing on the girl's shoulders.

In the past, who would have dared to let the eldest daughter of Huaweizong, the jewel in the palm of Master Xuyun, kneel with injuries on the cold floor tiles of the Discipline Hall.

"Up to now, you still protect that kid? You have been stubborn and domineering since you were a child, and you don't practice etiquette. The whole sect is extremely tolerant. When did being a father not suit your wishes?" Xu Yun's voice trembled slightly, "But you still know I don't know who you are?!"

"I am Chen Hongzhu. I enjoy all the honor because of the sect, and I am willing to dedicate everything to protect the sect." Chen Hongzhu straightened her back and looked directly at Xuyun, "I am not helping Song Qianji, I am trying to save Song Qianji. Hua Weizong!"

"Naughty girl!" Xu Yun trembled all over, and wanted to draw his sword again, but Liu Hongfeng, the elder of the Discipline Hall, hurriedly held him down:

"The master of the sect, the outer sect has been mistaken, and the engagement ceremony is approaching, so we must not miss the important thing."

Everyone dissuaded them one after another: "The head of the sect thinks twice!"

"At this juncture, the reputation of the eldest lady is the reputation of Huaweizong, and the family scandal must not be publicized! The disciples of the outer sect defected, and we have to insist that we were seduced by an adulterer and have nothing to do with the lady."

"Song Qianji is unkind and unrighteous first, and it is more reasonable for us to make trouble. Qingya and Ziyunguan can't be wrong."

Chen Hongzhu chuckled softly.

"You're still laughing!" Xu Yun reprimanded.

Chen Hongzhu stopped smiling.

"I have no way to teach women. Before the engagement ceremony, Chen Hongzhu was forbidden to take a step in the commandment hall!" Xu Yun glanced over the crowd, "It's a troubled time, and everyone who works is responsible."

The only ones who can come here tonight are the elders who hold real power or are backed by aristocratic families, except for the masters of the peaks.

Everyone should have left, leaving Xu Yun and Chen Hongzhu, the father and daughter, relatively speechless.

When the last person walked away and the door of the trial hall was closed, Xu Yun suddenly sighed, bent down to help his daughter up:

"Does it still hurt?"

His anger in front of others gradually disappeared, and he became an old father.

Chen Hongzhu got up, her eyes filled with tears: "My daughter is not filial."

"Why are you bothering?" Xu Yun shook his head regretfully.

Chen Hongzhu laughed:

"Father, have you ever seen a mine at night? The spirit stones were brought out from the deep mine in baskets by the disciples of the outer sect, shining shimmeringly, very beautiful. I stood halfway up the mountain, overlooking the quarry full of holes, Seeing the glowing spirit stones being sent everywhere, it's like a flowing galaxy."

"It's like going to the star-picking platform, and when you look up, you can see the stars twinkling in the sky. Even the wind is as cold."

Xu Yun was stunned, and slowly opened his mouth: "Xingxingtai was built on the top of Huawei Mountain, and the Lingshi mine is two thousand feet deep underground. Only thousands of underground ones can support one in the sky. You should know that you born in heaven."

"How many innocent lives are filled in the bottomless pit?! Just for my engagement ceremony, for me to marry someone I don't know, father, isn't that funny?"

Xu Yun said in a deep voice: "It's not for you, it's for the sect! You feel guilty because of this and let them go. In half a month, if you recruit another group of people, the mine will still open. The mortals who want to be immortal in the world are better than the stars in the sky. And more."

"If you recruit again, I will dare to let you go again. Until you wake up completely and see that the world has changed. With people like Song Qianji and places like Qianqu County, they have somewhere to go!"

Xu Yun: "What on earth are you going to do?!"

"I want, reform!"

Chen Hongzhu's eyes were burning with flames, "I want to establish a new selection system for inner sects, and then break the boundaries between inner and outer sects. I want the sect to select more talents instead of being trapped by sect backgrounds."

"Such a reform is like shaking the sky."

"The sky will be turned upside down!"

"You!" Xu Yun's slap was raised high, Chen Hongzhu stared at him, without dodging, advancing instead of retreating.

Xu Yun closed his eyes, and suddenly put down his hands: "Those people just watched you grow up. Even if you can turn the world upside down, if you change a group of people to sit up and sit in the seat for a long time, they will become the original group. Today, you I can't turn it over. Stop thinking about it."

"Father, let me try!" Chen Hongzhu held his father's hand, "If it succeeds, it will be the first of its kind. Everyone in the world yearns for the Huawei Sect, so why don't the sect flourish."

Xu Yun opened his eyes, his gaze returned to calm.

He withdrew his hand, took a step back, and exited the place illuminated by the candle.

The father returned to the position of the real master.

"The fifteenth day of the next month is an auspicious day. During this time, you can reflect in peace in the Discipline Hall. Your brother Yuan will help you as your father and prepare the grand ceremony for you."

Chen Hongzhu blinked and shed two lines of tears: "Daughter, I don't want to marry. I don't want to marry him."

Xu Yun didn't respond, and suddenly changed the subject: "After you colluded with Nameng Heze inside and out, you started thinking about something for your father."

"Is Song Qianji really related to 'that person'? None of the evidence he presented that day is real. From the Dengwen Conference to Qianqu County, 'that person' never showed up at all, let alone for him. Overhead."

"There is news that the chess ghost has become more ill recently, and the book sage is aging rapidly. 'That person' is still missing."

Chen Hongzhu was stunned at first, but the more he listened, the more flustered he became, with a bad feeling: "You mean..."

"Since Song Qianji took the first step to tear his face, Zongmen might kill him in the open. If you continue to speak and act recklessly, you will force Zongmen to kill him."

As soon as Xu Yun finished speaking, he turned and left.Shrinking the ground into an inch, one step across the threshold.

"Father!" Chen Hongzhu hurried out.

The heavy door was locked abruptly, blocking Xu Yun's figure outside the door.

"Kuuuuuuuuu!" Chen Hongzhu tried his best to smash the door, but it hit the impenetrable formation barrier:

"Father, father—"

In the silence of the night, the girl's screams and cries echoed in the Discipline Hall.

……

"Are you a father, or a senior brother?"

Lin Feiyuan asked impatiently.

There are indeed a lot of outer disciples who came to answer questions today.

Many of them saw Song Qianji for the first time, as if they saw some kind of rare animal, and they were reluctant to leave after asking.

"This is the legendary Senior Brother Song."

"Brother, look, it's only fifteen or sixteen, it's actually the Nascent Soul realm!"

After everyone in the Song Academy had breakfast, Ji Chen went to the temple to randomly select objects for today's formation practice.

Wei Ping was dragged out of the Immortal Mansion by Meng Heze to "reminisce about the past".

Song Xianguan was only left with Lin Feiyuan, who was eating and recuperating.

Lin Feiyuan couldn't use her spiritual energy, but she still put on airs of a strong Jindan, driving people away as it should:

"Hurry up, next one!"

"Why don't you understand the fundamentals of cultivation? Come on, I have an ancient book here, read it before you go back!"

"Return the book next time? No need to return it, I have already recited it! Do you want to engrave it? Whatever you want, hurry up!"

In winter, the warm sun shines on the blue tiles of the Song Courtyard, and the sparrows are chirping on the branches of plum blossoms.

The little yellow and white cat jumped over the wall with a light leap.

When the question and answer session ended, Song Qianji was calm and relaxed.Lin Feiyuan was so angry that she was panting from exhaustion.

Song Qianji brought out the daffodils on the windowsill to bask in the sun.

The white flowers are budding and fragrant, and the green leaves are slender and graceful.

With itchy hands, Lin Feiyuan squatted on the ground, poked a flower bud with a finger, and was slapped away by Song Qianji.

"The buds are delicate, don't move around."

Lin Feiyuan muttered, "Stingy."

He moved his fingers down and knocked on the flowerpot instead.The plain white porcelain wide-mouthed low basin is filled with clear water, and it is knocked crisply, like a tune.

Song Qianji knew that Lin Feiyuan liked to listen to music and sing operas. When they first met in the previous life, they lived next door to the "Laichun Pavilion".

Later, he fled several times and lived in opera theaters, or near silk and satin houses and tailor shops.

Lin Feiyuan knocked for a moment, then suddenly looked up at him:

"Song Qianji, I'm in this business, and if I fail, even if no one comes to save me, someone should come to kill me. Life and death are up to you. You don't have to..."

He wanted to say that you don't have to bear the burden for me, but the words became: "Don't make trouble for yourself, I don't appreciate it."

Song Qianji ignored it, and brought out a bowl of medicine from the kitchen: "Drink."

Lin Feiyuan drank it all in one gulp.

Medicine is a good medicine, and all kinds of spiritual herbs spare no expense, enter the five viscera and transform into aura.

That's right, Song Qianji doesn't do blood-licking business, but he is never short of money.

Lin Feiyuan stared at the black medicine residue left at the bottom of the bowl, and muttered: "I still can't figure it out."

"Can't figure out what?" Song Qianji asked.

"Why do you treat me like this? I don't know you at all! You can't be a bodhisattva in the temple who saves the suffering and saves the suffering. You cut your flesh and feed the eagle to repay the evil with virtue. Seeing that I have done a lot of evil, you want to come down to the world to influence me?"

Song Qianji smiled, grabbed the bowl and left: "Then I might as well try to influence a pig."

Lin Feiyuan didn't get angry, but clapped her hands:

"That's right! Pigs can still be slaughtered and eaten. I, a rotten person in the mud, deserve to die. What's the use of you trying to influence me?" He rubbed his chin, "Do you have a friend who grew up Much like me, but he's dead."

Song Qianji paused and shook his head: "I have no friends."

Lin Feiyuan is not Lin Feiyuan from her previous life.All the people he has met, killed, righteous or hated in his previous life have all changed in this life, and he is the only one left with the memory of his previous life.

Lin Feiyuan guessed again: "You want me to heal my wounds and kill someone for you? Just tell me, who do you want to kill."

Song Qianji continued to walk: "I don't have the habit of using my hands to kill people."

Lin Feiyuan chased after her: "Don't expect me to stay in this broken yard and farm with you!"

Song Qianji wanted to make some jokes, and it's your turn to do such a beautiful thing.

Until he picked up the hoe to dig the ground, Lin Feiyuan was still chasing after him, like a sparrow on a plum blossom branch: "Then what do you want me to do? You have to hold back, you don't feel bad, I feel bad!"

Song Qianji raised a gag talisman.

Lin Feiyuan straightened her neck in a daze: "Come here, post here! It's nothing to keep people from talking, look, I still have hands and feet!"

Song Qianji thought to himself, if he didn't find something for this person to do, he might not have a peaceful day.

"The furs sent by the hunting team are all in the warehouse. Cut me a cloak."

"What?" Lin Feiyuan said angrily, "You think I'm your tailor?!"

"If you don't cut clothes, just follow me to pick seeds." Song Qianji said, "I think you still have hands and feet."

A moment of silence.

"...How do I get to the warehouse?"
