The Otherworldly God

Ever since he became Yue Zhengqin's apprentice, Yue Zhenghongjun seldom interacted with people of the same age. He would only crack jokes when Yue Zhengying came over.

Firstly, it was due to his personality, he didn't know how to get along with others, and secondly, it was because of the rumors about Le Zhengqin's last disciple. However, he didn't want to be completely speechless, especially when he saw them making a fuss.

Hearing how Le Zheng Shuiling called him, Le Zheng Hongjun knew that she was also one of the people who was prejudiced against him, but he was not angry at all for her ridicule.

"Hello, Junior Sister Shui Ling."

"Please don't be too polite to me. I don't dare to be your junior sister. Senior Brother, please just call me Shui Ling."

"How can you, a newly promoted Taoist apprentice, be so rude? Didn't your master teach you?"

Although servants and boys, maids and female servants all work in the Taoist family, their natures are different. Servants and maids are ordinary people who really don't know any magic, while children and female servants are those who were eliminated on the road to becoming Taoists. Compared with servants and maids, their status is slightly higher.

"Xiao Zhang, you step back first."

"Yes."

Le Zheng Hongjun looked at Le Zheng Qiming and Le Zheng Yuhua standing in the distance, and his eyes naturally fell on Le Zheng Yuhua. It was a pity that Le Zheng Yuhua did not have the Heavenly Sword with him. Even so, Le Zheng Hongjun was able to recognize him at a glance.

"This is our master's last disciple, Le Zheng Hongjun. According to seniority, he is our eldest senior brother."

Le Zheng Qiming explained to Le Zheng Yuhua that for some reason, in his and Le Zheng Shuiling's subconscious, Le Zheng Yuhua was the kind of person who had just come to Le Zheng's house. He was not very familiar with Le Zheng's affairs, and was not even familiar with the world of Taoists. Instead, he understood many things that they did not understand.

So often at times like this, they would consciously explain to Le Zheng Yuhua, and Le Zheng Yuhua was also happy to listen to their explanations. After all, he really didn't understand a lot of things, even after living here for ten years.

"Le Zheng Yuhua meets Senior Brother."

"Le Zheng Qiming meets Senior Brother."

Seeing that Le Zheng Yuhua had bowed so respectfully, Le Zheng Shuiling also bowed in return.

"Le Zheng Shui Ling greets Senior Brother."

"We are all brothers, no need to be polite."

Upon hearing this, Le Zheng Shui Ling became even more unscrupulous.

"Since the eldest brother has said so, we are all brothers, so don't hide it, just tell us what you want from us."

"How did Junior Sister Shui Ling know that I was here to see you?"

Le Zheng Hongjun wanted to use a humorous way to eliminate Le Zheng Shuiling's prejudice against him, but Le Zheng Shuiling said bluntly: "So you are not looking for us, what a waste of time, you are soaked. If you are looking for the master, please ask the eldest brother to look for him somewhere else, he is not here. Don't ask us, we don't know where he has gone."

The little boy behind Le Zheng Hongjun couldn't help but stand up for Le Zheng Shuiling when he saw what he was doing. Fortunately, Le Zheng Hongjun noticed it and reached out to stop him.

"Why don't you hide inside quickly?"

"See you next time, Big Brother."

Unexpectedly, Le Zheng Shuiling turned around and pulled Le Zheng Qiming and Le Zheng Yuhua into the house. Le Zheng Hongjun only reacted when the door was closed, but unfortunately they had already hidden in the house.

"I'll go catch them."

The little boy took a step forward angrily.

"nothing."

Le Zheng Shui Ling peeked through the crack in the door.

"It's not good for us, is it?"

"Who knows what he's doing here? It's definitely not good."

"That's right. Every time we are summoned by the higher-ups, we are either criticized or punished. But we haven't done anything recently."

"If they really want to cause trouble for us, do they need us to commit a crime? It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime. It seems that you haven't suffered enough in the training center."

Le Zheng Qiming also thought it was right, and then he heard Le Zheng Hongjun explain in a loud voice: "Junior Sister Shui Ling, Junior Brother Qiming, Junior Brother Yuhua, I came here this time in accordance with the order of the patriarch to summon the three of you to the ancestral hall to discuss matters, so don't delay it."

Upon hearing the word "ancestral hall", Le Zheng Shuiling and Le Zheng Qiming looked at each other in disbelief.

The ancestral hall of Le Zheng is not open to ordinary people. Even during sacrifices, they can only line up outside the door, let alone participate in the ancestral hall's meetings.

"Qiming, have you committed any crime that warrants expulsion from the family?"

"How is that possible? Even if I committed a crime, I am not qualified to be discussed in the ancestral hall, right?"

"Too."

Le Zheng Yuhua opened the door, and Le Zheng Shuiling didn't have time to react and could only follow him out.

As if he was a child who had done something wrong, he followed Le Zheng Yuhua carefully the whole time.

"I was rude just now, please forgive me, Senior Brother."

"nothing."

"Yuhua dares to ask the eldest brother, what is the purpose of this meeting in the ancestral hall?"

Le Zheng Hongjun frowned, looking apologetic.

"I'm not sure either. It may be related to the invitation that was delivered when the city opened this morning."

"Invitation?"

"Yes, the head of the family was also very nervous after hearing about it, and immediately summoned all the masters to the ancestral hall to discuss the matter. He just came out to call me over and only asked me to call the three of you over, without mentioning anything else."

"Whose invitation is this? Big Brother, you really don't know?"

Le Zheng Shuiling leaned over to confirm, and Le Zheng Hongjun just shook his head.

"It must be an invitation from some big family in the Dao League."

His answer was very clear, which meant he didn't know. He didn't do anything that made Le Zheng Shui Ling unhappy, so he didn't make things difficult for him. Moreover, he had never left Jimen Pass and it was impossible for him to offend other families.

"Please wait for a moment, Senior Brother, so we can change our clothes."

Seeing that Le Zheng Shuiling's attitude had changed, Le Zheng Hongjun was still somewhat happy.

"I will wait here."

Le Zheng Yuhua glanced at him but didn't invite him in. After all, he was Le Zheng Qin's man and she didn't want to get too close to him.

The three of them went back to their rooms, tidied themselves up, and came out, all changed into Le Zheng's formal clothes.

Le Zheng Shuiling was the last to come out, and even Le Zheng Qiming couldn't help teasing her, but was slapped on the forehead by Le Zheng Shuiling without mercy.

"I am your senior brother after all, can you give me some face in front of outsiders?"

"What else do you need to save face?"

“That’s still necessary.”

"Even if it's necessary, it doesn't matter in front of Senior Brother, right Senior Brother?"

Hearing Le Zheng Qiming say the word "outsider" just now made Le Zheng Hongjun feel a little disappointed. However, when he saw Le Zheng Shuiling calling him "senior brother" in a familiar tone, which was completely different from the beginning, Le Zheng Hongjun felt relieved again.

"We are all brothers, so it's better to have some fun in private."

"Did you hear that?" Le Zheng Shui Ling was still very serious when she needed to be serious. She immediately bowed and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time, Senior Brother. I'll have to trouble you to lead the way for us."

"Please come with me."
