I am Zhao Zhijing, a poor Taoist priest, and I have disciples all over the world.

Chapter 74 What is the name of Master's Master?

"Master has returned to the mountain!"

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and Wang Chuyi, Liu Chuxuan, Sun Buer and others who had been touring Taihang Mountains finally returned to Chongyang Palace.

During these days, Yang Guo has taken over his master's work, and every day he takes his junior brother Guan Man'er to the gate of Chongyang Palace to look out.

Perhaps it was because the snowy road was difficult to travel on, or there were too many things for Changhong Escort Agency to do in the first month of the year, but Guan Shengnan still hadn't come to see her brother.

After Guan Man'er looked out from the mountain gate, he would pull on the corner of his junior brother Yang Guo's clothes and say, "Senior brother, Man'er wants to go see Master."

Zhao Zhijing saw Yang Guo and Guan Man'er coming every day, and thought it was not appropriate. He wanted to persuade Yang Guo not to worry about him so much, but when he knew that it was Guan Man'er who had to come, he could only smile helplessly and with relief.

It seems that this little fellow finally has himself as his master in his heart.

Fortunately, the Chongyang Palace has been reorganized by Qiu Chuji and Hao Datong. Everyone knows that Zhao Zhijing has defeated three generations of disciples. Although he has been put in solitary confinement temporarily, he will come out one day.

Moreover, given Zhao Zhijing's temper, he dared to cause a scene in Sanqing Temple on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. If he knew that his disciple was bullied when he was away, he might really fight his way out of the cell.

So even if there is any resentment in the heart, one dare not spread those rumors.

With Cui Zhifang and Li Zhichang always taking care of them, the disciples were not affected much except missing their master.

Until this day, Yang Guo and Guan Man'er were gazing at the gate of Chongyang Palace as usual, and they saw the figures of their master Wang Chuyi and his entourage. The disciples guarding the gate nearby hurried over to greet them, and then ran to Sanqing Temple to report the news.

"Disciple Yang Guo, bring Junior Brother Guan Man'er to meet Master!"

It has been more than half a year since Yuyang Zhenren Wang Chuyi left Chongyang Palace because of Li Mochou's matter.

When he saw a younger disciple calling him "Master", he immediately took a look and saw that it was the child that Guo Jing sent to the mountain. He recalled the scene when he first met Guo Jing in the past, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

In addition, Yang Guo himself is handsome and has devoted himself to martial arts training in the past six months since he became Zhao Zhijing's apprentice. He has put away his previous naughty childish nature and has become even more lovable.

"Okay, get up."

Wang Chuyi was old, so when he saw these young disciples, his tone was filled with a sense of familiarity as if they were from different generations.

He looked at Guan Man'er again, wondering who accepted this disciple.

Upon seeing this, Yang Guo hurriedly explained respectfully. Wang Chuyi frowned slightly after hearing this. Zhao Zhijing has always liked to concentrate on studying martial arts. Why didn’t he take in a disciple during these six months and just go back to the mountain next time?

Wang Chuyi had met Guan Changhong of Changhong Escort Agency several times before, and thought to himself, could it be that Zhijing had received some benefit from Guan Changhong, so he accepted this seemingly dull disciple?

Humph! If this is true, he must be severely punished!

"Brother Wang, let's go meet the head teacher and Brother Qiu first."

Liu Chuxuan, the immortal who was standing by, saw his brother stop and spoke up to remind him.

"Junior brother said so."

When Yang Guo saw his master coming back, he knew that his master's matter would soon have a result, and he felt very uneasy. He just hoped that the punishment would be as light as possible, and it would be best if he could be released from the cell tomorrow.

Wang Chuyi and others entered the mountain gate and soon arrived at the Sanqing Hall. They met Qiu Chuji and Hao Datong, but did not see the head teacher brother Ma Yu, so they hurriedly asked.

"Master Sect Leader, you have been concentrating on seeking the truth and practicing in a quiet place in the back mountain of Chongyang Palace. Half a month ago, he felt a little unwell, so Junior Brother Hao and I went to help him to practice qigong, and now he is fine." Wang Chuyi, Liu Chuxuan and Sun Buer were relieved. The three of them came to Sanqing Hall from the mountain gate and did not see anything different in Chongyang Palace. They thought nothing had happened, so they told him about their tour of Taihang Mountain after they separated from Qiu Chuji.

Qiu Chuji and Hao Datong are both straightforward people, but Zhao Zhijing's affairs involve their respective disciples.

Zhen Zhibing and Zhang Zhiguang have only recently recovered from their injuries, but because they both refused to admit to spreading the rumors, they are still reflecting on their mistakes behind closed doors.

Qiu Chuji wanted to ask other disciples, but who would dare to say anything in front of Uncle Qiu or Uncle Qiu's great-grandfather? Besides, it was difficult to produce any solid evidence for such groundless rumors unless the person involved admitted it.

"By the way, Senior Brother Qiu, do you know that my disciple Zhao Zhijing took the son of Chief Escort Guan of Changhong Escort Agency as his apprentice?"

Qiu Chuji gave a bitter smile and thought to himself that not only was he accepted as a disciple, but rumors had even spread in our Chongyang Palace that Guan Man'er was Zhao Zhijing's illegitimate son.

"Junior Brother Wang, Zhijing is now locked up in my cell."

"what?"

Qiu Chuji continued: "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Zhijing beat up all his peers in the Sanqing Hall."

Upon hearing this, Wang Chuyi and the other two were surprised and confused. Although Zhao Zhijing was the best martial artist among the three generations of disciples, he was actually on par with Zhen Zhibing, a disciple of Qiu Chuji.

How come in just half a year, he could fight against all the disciples of the same generation by himself?
"A lot has happened in the past six months, and it's hard to explain it all in one go."

Qiu Chuji sighed and asked someone to call Li Zhichang and Cui Zhifang so that he could explain everything clearly.

One of these two people is a disciple of Qiu Chuji, and the other is a disciple of Wang Chuyi. They are also the most stable and kind-hearted among the three generations of disciples.

From these two perspectives, it is most credible.

It took another whole stick of incense to wait for the two men to arrive, and then Zhao Zhijing led his men down the mountain to investigate after discovering the evil monster outside Xianyang City.

He even accepted Guan Man'er as his apprentice, and at the end of the year, Zhao Zhijing and Yang Guo both won first place in the competition.

Then, the Western Poison Ouyang Feng appeared in the ancient tomb of Zhongnan Mountain, which led to the revelation that Yang Guo possessed the Toad Skill. Then, rumors spread that Man'er was Zhao Zhijing's illegitimate son.

Finally, half a month ago, Zhao Zhijing took advantage of the absence of his commander and started a big fight in Sanqing Temple.

"."

Wang Chuyi and others had not expected that so many things would happen in Chongyang Palace in half a year. They were speechless for a moment and didn't know where to start.

"The best thing to do now is to deal with Zhao Zhijing's case first, so as to avoid being unable to convince the public by not having an explanation for a long time."

Sun Buer, a pure and quiet person, knew that this involved the selection of the third generation's first disciple. He had no disciples in Chongyang Palace, so as a bystander he could see things more clearly and was the first to speak.

Liu Chuxuan said: "This matter is of great importance. I wonder if the head teacher has given us any instructions?"

"Senior Brother Ma has devoted himself to cultivation. He has recently instructed us that all the affairs of Chongyang Palace will be handled by us in consultation."

Hao Datong replied: "Even if he is the candidate for the third generation's first disciple, there is no need to report it to him specifically."

"Brother Wang, Zhi Jing is your disciple after all. Although he is now locked up in the cell by Brother Qiu, the final punishment will depend on your opinion."
