Palace Master's Road to Unification

On the day of departure, Ziheng did not bring Qingying, nor did he bring the Xueqing Sword with him, and he only brought twenty accompanying disciples by his side.

Qingying was a little worried: "Yuchan Mountain's move is sudden, if it is really a congratulation to the Palace Master, he should come to the door to congratulate him in person, but Jiang Hong invited the Palace Master to Yuchan Mountain instead, he must have a plan."

Ziheng said indifferently: "He doesn't believe the rhetoric you put on Jianghu, and he doesn't have the guts to come to Jiuxiao Palace. It's not that he doesn't understand the truth of throwing himself into the net. He invited me to see him just to see what I'm going to do. What is the idea, if it is not good for him, he will kill me in Yuchan Mountain."

Qingying was shocked: "Palace Master!"

Ziheng was still indifferent: "You don't have to worry, I don't pay much attention to his tricks, these days you stay in the palace to make good preparations for Liuyue Island, and the rest can just wait for my orders."

Qingying lowered her head: "Yes, this subordinate obeys!"

……

At the foot of Yuchan Mountain, Nangong Yun and Ning Zheng were waiting for the arrival of the distinguished guests. One of them was wearing white clothes and the other was wearing green clothes.Nangong Yun's eyebrows looked like snow and more like ice, Ning Zheng's mouth was smiling, but it couldn't be more fake. The two looked ahead without saying a word to each other, silently waiting for the arrival of the Lord of the Nine Heavens Palace.

An hour later, Nangong Yun still asked, "Why do you insist on inviting the Master of Qiushui Palace over?"

Ning Zheng showed an expression of incomprehension, and asked back: "Why is senior brother so afraid of Qiushui Palace?"

Although Ziheng has changed the name of the palace to Jiuxiao Palace, it is still used to be called Qiushui Palace in Jianghu. Although Yuchanshan called it Jiuxiao Palace when inviting Ziheng, but the disciples still call it Qiushui when they talk about it in private. palace.

Nangong Yun shook her head, looked straight at Ning Zheng, as if she had other meanings: "I'm not afraid, you don't need to provoke me."

Ning Zheng seemed to have suddenly realized, and said to herself: "Could it be that the senior brother has some tricks in their hands? After all, according to the appearance of the senior brother, it is not surprising that the women in the Qiushui Palace are attracted to it. What kind of tricks are left there?" That's..."

"Senior brother!"

Ning Zheng had something in mind, Nangong Yun was slightly annoyed, and stopped the other party's next words.

Sensing that Nangong Yun's tone was wrong, Ning Zheng was surprised, but she didn't mean to admit her mistake, "It's just a joke. I definitely didn't mean to insult the chastity of the women in Qiushui Palace. Brother, don't take it too seriously."

Nangong Yun pursed her lips tightly and said nothing more.

Neither of them spoke anymore, they stood still at the foot of the mountain for another half an hour, finally expecting the distinguished guest.

Ning Zheng stepped forward and smiled politely: "Ning Zheng of Yuchan Mountain congratulates Palace Master Ziheng on his visit. Master has prepared a banquet on the mountain, and please invite Palace Master to follow me."

Zi Heng stared at Ning Zheng's face for a while, then shifted his eyes to Nangong Yun, and the time he spent looking at Nan Gong Yun was much longer than that of Ning Zheng.

Seeing Ziheng's reaction, the disciples of Nine Heavens Palace also became weird. Although the handsome young man in white made them blush and heartbeat, but the palace master stared at him so intently, it was too unreserved.

Ning Zheng instantly understood, and introduced, "This is Nangong Yun, our elder brother from Yuchan Mountain."

Zi Heng nodded slightly: "I have seen you two before."

Nangong Yun was not good at words, and she didn't answer the words from the beginning to the end, so Ning Zheng could only flatter her here, "It's my senior brother and I's lucky to be cared by the palace lord."

After carefully looking at the two of them, Zi Heng commented: "It's better than before."

Ning Zheng smiled and said, "The palace master is absurd."

"lead the way."

"Please, Palace Master."

Ziheng is not a talkative person, and Nangongyun's personality never said a word on the road, only Ning Zheng greeted Ziheng from time to time.

"Palace Master has worked hard on this trip, and Yuchan Mountain has prepared banquets and guest rooms."

"I am not worried that Yuchanshan will be rude."

Ning Zheng Weiwei: "Yuchanshan will not be rude."

Ziheng looked sideways at Nangongyun who had not spoken all the time, only to see that the other party was walking aside, dressed in white clothes like a banished immortal, which attracted the disciples behind her not to listen.

Ziheng asked maliciously: "Is there nothing to say when you see me?"

Nangong Yun paused: "That's not the case."

Ning Zheng explained: "Senior brother has always been reticent. Apart from guiding the younger brothers and sisters, even the master rarely communicates with each other."

It is rare for Ziheng to remind him kindly: "That should be changed, after all, sometimes you will suffer if you talk too little."

Nangong Yun lowered her eyelids, wondering what she was thinking: "Thank you, Palace Master, for your concern."

Zi Heng raised his eyebrows suddenly and asked, "What's your age?"

Although she didn't understand why the other party asked this question, Nangong Yun still answered, "23."

Turning to look at Ning Zheng again, "What about you?"

Ning Zheng bowed her head: "I just won the championship last year."

Zi Heng sighed: "You are indeed young."

He continued to ask: "Is there a marriage?"

Nangong Yun bowed her head in silence, while Ning Zheng smiled and said nothing, the air was quiet for a while.

"The road to Yuchan Mountain is really remote."

Seeing that the two young masters didn't answer, the disciples behind Ziheng were very self-aware to "relieve" their palace lord.

Ning Zheng replied: "This is just a small road leading to the back mountain, which is naturally remote."

Han Lu said it casually, but after hearing Ning Zheng's answer, she was very dissatisfied, "My palace lord came all the way to your Yuchan Mountain, and you deliberately led us to take a small path. Could it be that my palace lord is not good enough?" Is it the main entrance?!"

Ning Zheng shook her head: "This junior sister misunderstood, it is the master and his old man who are waiting for Palace Master Ziheng at the back mountain, this road is shorter, and there are too many disciples at the front gate, it is very noisy, afraid of disturbing the peace of Palace Master. "

Han Lu sneered: "Why disturb the peace of the Palace Master, you are clearly..."

Zi Heng raised his hand to signal to stop, Han Lu immediately stopped his voice when he saw it, and retreated angrily.

"It's enough to reach the destination, the main road or the small road, I don't mind which one it is."

Ning Zheng smiled and said, "It's good that the Palace Master doesn't mind."

"Big Brother!!!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded in the forest, Nangong Yun stopped, and frowned invisibly.

Ning Zheng also paused.

Seeing that the two stopped at the same time, Ziheng also wanted to see who this person was, so he ordered everyone to stop here.

In the next moment, a figure in red rushed over and threw himself on Nangong Yun, "Where did brother go today? I've been looking for you for a long time~"

Nangong Yun pushed Jiang Ling away from her body: "Junior Sister, don't be unreasonable."

Jiang Ling reluctantly let go of Nangong Yun, and was startled when she saw Ning Zheng beside him: "Senior brother Ning is competing to stay with senior brother, it's really not easy."

Hearing this, Nangong Yun frowned again, her face was very cold.

Ning Zheng didn't seem to hear Jiang Ling's hint of sarcasm, so he teased and said, "There are distinguished guests here, Junior Sister, don't be too capricious today."

When she heard that there was a distinguished guest, Jiang Ling looked at Zi Heng with contemptuous eyes, not paying attention to the person in front of her eyes at all: "Senior Brother Ning treats the distinguished guest well, so I will take you away, Senior Brother."

While speaking, she pulled up Nangong Yun's sleeve, but Nangong Yun pushed Jiang Ling's hand away, "I am ordered by Master to welcome Palace Master Ziheng, and I must not slack off."

Jiang Ling was dissatisfied with Nangong Yun's refusal: "Elder brother, why don't you just follow me ~ Brother Ning is enough here."

Nangong Yun still shook her head.

Jiang Ling looked at Ning Zheng, winked at him, Ning Zheng smiled, and said to Nangong Yun: "Junior Sister must have something important to do to find Senior Brother, Senior Brother should go, I can accompany Palace Master Ziheng alone." .”

Nangong Yun still refused.

At this time, Ziheng said: "If you have something to do, you can leave. I am not an unreasonable person."

"Brother, brother ~ let's go ~ everyone has said so, you just stay with me!"

Although Ning Zheng was smiling, there was not much smile in his eyes anymore, "Brother, let's go, besides, it doesn't matter if the brother is here or not, and let the younger sister go on like this, it will be dark and you won't be able to walk to the top of the mountain."

Jiang Ling was very dissatisfied with Ning Zheng's attitude. Although she hinted that he would help persuade the elder brother, but that's not the way to help, and even if she wanted to retort.

Seeing Jiang Ling's unrelenting expression, Nangong Yun had no choice but to salute Zi Heng, "I'm sorry."

Then he turned around and pulled the other party away before Jiang Ling could speak.

Seeing that Nangong Yun was willing to leave with her, Jiang Ling didn't bother to care about Ning Zheng anymore, and happily hugged Nangong Yun's arm and did not let go.

After the two left, Ning Zheng continued to lead the way and explained to Jiang Ling: "Junior Sister is like this, I hope the Palace Master doesn't mind."

Zi Heng glanced at Ning Zheng: "I don't care about the junior."

Ning Zheng could only laugh dryly: "Sorry, I made the Palace Master laugh."

Ziheng said leisurely: "Yuchanshan's upbringing can be regarded as an eye-opener for me."

It was obviously sarcastic, but Ning Zheng didn't get angry at all, and instead said: "The palace master didn't see anything more intense."

"As the daughter of Sect Leader Jiang, she does have the capital to be domineering."

Ning Zheng shook her head: "Junior Sister, she is not just domineering."

"Oh?"

Ning Zheng smiled, avoiding talking about it, but said another thing, "My junior sister is engaged to the senior brother."

Ziheng said indifferently: "A man with a talent and a woman with a beautiful appearance are a natural match."

Zi Heng's words attracted the disciples behind him to keep looking sideways. The words and deeds of the palace master today are really different from usual. It was very uncharacteristic to ask the ages and marriage contracts of the two young masters before, but what he said now is much more surprising. It's abnormal, abnormal, really abnormal to say something like 'a man and a woman are a natural match'.

"Many people think so like the Palace Master, what a pity..."

Ning Zheng sighed, but didn't say anything about the pity in the end.

"Are you deliberately teasing me today?"

Ziheng narrowed his eyes slightly, making it hard to see the joy or anger.

Ning Zheng looked into the distance, as if recalling something, "Don't dare, the last time I saw the palace lord, the palace lord was still a young girl in her twenties and eight years, and the graceful figure in the morning light has haunted me for a long time. It will offend the Palace Master."

Zi Heng took a step forward, gently lifted Ning Zheng's chin, and glanced across the other's face inch by inch, "Your appearance is more attractive than it was back then, but unfortunately it is worse than your senior brother."

Ning Zheng smiled wryly and said, "Senior brother's peerless face, I am not one ten thousandth of it."

"You're not that unbearable, one in a thousand is still there."

Ning Zheng burst out laughing, "The palace master really can't comfort people."

"You need comfort?"

"If you can……"
