Set up a funeral service team in a foreign land
Chapter 104 The Great Elder's Plot
The conference room fell into an unusual silence. Xi Sui'an glanced at the coffin not far away with a cold expression. They followed Senior Zhu Jun's order to send the core disciples who died in a foreign land back to Penglai. Now no one paid attention to them. Instead, all their attention was focused on Senior Zhu Jun's relics.
Sure enough, there are reasons for his decline.
She withdrew her indifferent look and watched the development of the situation. She did not belong to any faction, and rash intervention might make things more complicated.
Second Elder Zhao Feng's expression changed as he turned to look at the gate outside. Jing Ci's figure had disappeared from his sight. Something flashed through his mind and he suddenly asked in surprise: "You chose to join Yinglong Guard?!"
Zhou Heng sat down slowly, his expression calm, and he was even able to calmly pick up the teacup and drink tea.
When he heard Zhao Feng's question, a barely perceptible sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he had no intention of paying attention to him.
The third elder Qian Lin was also shocked by this statement. He slammed the table and said angrily, "Zhou Heng, what do you mean! If we join the Yinglong Guard, our Penglai Pavilion will completely lose the initiative!"
Zhou Heng put down the cup and didn't pay much attention to the disrespectful words of the two elders. Since he accepted the appointment as the Pavilion Master, he had heard too many such words and had long been immune to them.
"Two elders," Zhou Heng smiled faintly, "you are really not as smart as the first elder."
"Since the death of the Eight Immortals of Penglai, we, the Penglai Pavilion, have chosen to live in seclusion for ten thousand years, avoiding the bloodshed of the Age of Conflict and the chaos of the Age of Migration. Now, our Penglai Pavilion has long lost its former glory.
Now is the era of the human race, this is the general trend. There are rules for leaving the world, and there are rules for entering the world. If Penglai wants to enter the world, it must learn to follow the general trend. "Zhou Heng glanced at the three little guys beside him, and said without any intention of guarding against them, "Yinglongwei is the general trend."
Li Chu and Zhong Heng seemed to understand what he said. Xi Sui'an touched his chin. This Pavilion Master was not moderate. Instead, he was very clear-headed. It was better to go with the flow than to go against it. Between the future of mankind and the present of Penglai, he chose the future of mankind.
"You!" Zhao Feng's pupils shrank, and he pointed at Zhou Heng and cursed, "Are you going to sell Penglai Pavilion to Yinglong Guard?"
"Elder Zhao, don't say such harsh words. What do you mean by selling out?" Jing Ci stepped over the threshold and touched his nose when he heard the words. "Yinglong Guard is not as evil as you think." He was kicked to Yinglong Guard by his master and his life was much more comfortable than in Penglai Pavilion.
“It’s finally that day.”
Xi Sui'an looked over and saw that the person who made the sighing sound was an old man in Tang suit with a head full of white hair. He looked quite old. This should be the great elder's mirror stand.
He looked around the hall, and his eyes stopped at the unattended coffin. A trace of pain appeared in his eyes: "Look at yourselves, do you behave like elders? Acting like this in front of the deceased juniors... Aren't you embarrassed?!"
Qian Lin and Zhao Feng froze in place. Only then did they look at the ordinary coffin that Xi Sui'an and the other two had brought back. Their faces changed.
Zhou Heng was also silent for a moment. He stood up and walked down, looking at the coffin.
He knew these two core disciples. They were originally considered rookies of the younger generation, but unfortunately they died in a foreign land before they could make a name for themselves. If it weren't for the involvement of the senior sister and the traitor, they would have been unknown and completely forgotten.
He raised his hand to put away the coffin, turned to the mirror and said apologetically: "Great Elder, I did something wrong. From now on, I will bury them properly in the spirit tomb."
There was no expression on the old face of the man in the mirror, and he just glanced at him indifferently.
"Why don't you continue your retreat?" Qian Lin raised his eyebrows and sneered at the great elder Jingtai who came to the meeting room.
Zhao Feng was not as impatient as him: "Is it your intention to merge with Yinglong Guard?" He glanced at Jing Ci who was quietly acting as a wallflower behind him, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "I underestimated your plan."
He buried his disciple in Yinglong Guard so early.
Jingtai glanced at Zhao Feng and said calmly, "What Zhou Heng said is right. If you want to enter the world, you can't get around Yinglong Guard. Kunlun and Xuanmen have already been merged. It is impossible for us Penglai Pavilion to stay out of it."
"None of the three envoys of Yinglong Guard are from our Penglai Pavilion!" Qian Lin gritted his teeth and said, "How can we gain a foothold in Yinglong Guard?!"
"That's not a reason for us to hide anymore. We don't have the foresight like Li Yuan, nor the power of Kunlun. The current situation is much better than I thought." Jingtai glanced at Qian Lin and said calmly.
Zhao Feng said coldly: "There are three envoys of Yinglong Guard. One is Li Yuan, the master of Xuanmen, one is Meng Fuyi, the master of Kunlun Mountain, and the other one..."
He shook off unnecessary thoughts and took a deep breath, "Do you look down on us for struggling in this small piece of land?" Otherwise, why did you watch the chaos in Penglai Pavilion for so many years without doing anything or asking anything about it?
Jingtai put his hands behind his back, looked at Qian Lin and Zhao Feng, and said calmly: "I just want to ask one question, do you want to be the next Mu Qianji?"
Their faces changed, looking extremely ugly: "Can you please stop mentioning that traitor?" That bastard Mu Qianji was slapping them in the face all the time.
Xi Sui'an touched his chin. This drama revealed a lot of information.
Among the three envoys of Yinglong Guard, one is Li Chu's master, one is from Kunlun, and the other one whose background is not mentioned should also be quite important.
Also, is the traitor of Penglai Pavilion called Mu Qianji?
Zhou Heng looked at the elder, then at Qian Lin and Zhao Feng, and said calmly: "I'm going to make this clear today. It is imperative that Penglai Pavilion be merged into Yinglong Guard. If you don't agree, you can either kill me and seize power, or divide it up."
Zhao Feng looked at Zhou Heng steadily. Jingtai would not sit idly by and watch them kill Zhou Heng. If they rebelled, they would only be trapped in the quagmire of internal strife and unable to get out. If they separated, they would not be able to survive in this world and escape into foreign lands. With the gatekeeper around, they could forget about it.
At this moment, the air in the conference room seemed to stagnate, as if a battle was about to break out.
The three people next to him were all nervous.
Xi Sui'an thought to himself: Are we going to fight like this?
Just then, the mirror on the opposite side shifted its gaze over.
He looked at the three of them for a moment and finally looked at Li Chu, smiling and said, "I didn't expect that Li Yuan's little disciple has grown up so much. Not bad, not bad. How is your master now?"
Li Chu paused and swallowed quietly. After following Xi Sui'an for a while, he could now learn some of her calmness. He forced a calm smile and said, "Master is very good." He was most afraid of sudden greetings.
"Don't worry, Zhujun gave you the Huixian Xiao and it's yours. I will keep you safe. Please give my regards to your master later." He glanced at Jingci beside him and smiled faintly, "I'll let Jingci take you back in a while."
Jing Ci, who was as quiet as a chicken: "..."
Xi Sui'an's eyebrows moved, and a cold smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. This old guy had made a wishful calculation. The decline of Penglai Pavilion was irreversible, so he did not come out to plan for Penglai's entry into the world. Now he took the opportunity to turn the internal strife into external struggle, and even wanted to use Li Chu to win over Xuanmen. Tsk, the old guy becomes more cunning.
Jing Ci spread his hands and said lazily: "Master, aren't you afraid that my boss will slap me to death? Please be kind." The worker coveted the boss's daughter. Tsk, just thinking about it, he knew how miserable his death would be.
Jingtai couldn't help but slapped Jingci in the face: "Get out! You good-for-nothing!" He was asked to hide his talent, but now, even his ambition is hidden!
Jingtai looked at his apprentice and felt very heartbroken.
Li Chu looked embarrassed and whispered, "Let's retreat quickly!" We shouldn't stay here for long!
Xi Sui'an and Zhong Heng agreed deeply. It was too much for the younger generation to be remembered.
Jing Ci rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Then I'll send them away." He winked at Xi Sui'an and the others.
Xi Sui'an stood up, bowed, and said with a smile: "There are many things going on in Penglai Pavilion right now, and it would be inconvenient for us young people to stay any longer. The mission has been completed, and we will take our leave now."
Jingtai's eyes paused for a moment on the feather fire jade token on Zhongheng's waist, then turned to look at Xi Sui'an with a smile: "This little girl is quite energetic, I wonder where she is from?"
Xi Sui'an smiled slightly: "The human world, Xi Sui'an."
The mirror was stunned, then he clapped his hands and smiled: "What an interesting child."
"Let's go!" Jing Ci hurriedly grabbed Zhong Heng and dragged him out, laughing wantonly, "Hey, brother, you are so handsome, do you have any older sisters at home?"
Zhong Heng frowned, thinking that Jing Ci in front of him was too familiar, and said coldly: "I have an older brother and a younger brother."
"..."
Li Chu and Xi Sui'an followed, and when they heard what was said, they couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Hey! Jingtai, you!" Qian Lin said unwillingly, "Huixian is still in her hands! And that girl..."
"Didn't you hear what I said?" Jingtai said calmly.
"The juniors have left, now let's continue."
He looked over there. His face was old, but his eyes were sparkling with brilliance. The Pavilion Master beside him stood with his hands behind his back, smiling but not saying a word.
