This immortal has a lot of rebelliousness

In the dim corridor, rows of quaint lanterns extended along the wall, emitting a blood-like dark light.

"Good guy..."

Following Wang Qi all the way.

Zhang Xianling raised his eyebrows, but he didn't stop walking and couldn't help but tease again.

"By the way, the headmaster has a very unique aesthetic. The decoration style of the cave is so strange that if you don't know, you would think you have entered the underworld!"

Frowning tightly.

Wang Qi, who was leading the way, closed his eyes impatiently and reminded without turning his head, "Zhang Xianling, I advise you to be careful with your words and actions. A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. It is not a good thing for young people to be too impulsive."

Fuck you...

If young people don’t have passion, are they still young people?!

Drooping eyelids.

Zhang Xianling remained silent, but he kept complaining in his heart. He was too lazy to retort to the old man.

If you cannot travel the world according to your own wishes in life, you might as well die early!

The so-called rules are meant to be broken.

Zhang Xianling has lived through two lives and has long understood that sticking to the rules will only lead to death. If one wants to make a name for himself, he must be unconventional.

Speechless all the way.

The two walked straight through the corridor and came to a heavy door.

suddenly.

A familiar figure pushed open the door and rushed out of the room angrily, just bumping into the two of them.

Take a closer look.

It was Ouyang Yun, who was once the most powerful person in the sect.

He was suddenly startled.

Zhang Xianling and Ouyang Yun looked at each other, and the scene suddenly became a little awkward.

But I saw that his eyes were slightly red and there were obvious tear marks on his cheeks, obviously he had just cried.

She bit her red lips lightly.

Ouyang Yun glared at Zhang Xianling fiercely, his eyes filled with resentment. After a cold snort, he left without looking back.

As a result, Wang Qi, who was standing next to him, was also given the cold shoulder and not even given a greeting.

This woman...

I don't know what kind of injustice he has suffered, but now he is still putting on a bad face in front of me and looking for a sense of existence all day long. He is totally sick.

He shook his head coldly.

Zhang Xianling was too lazy to pay attention to it. After complaining in his heart, he didn't take it to heart.

"Never mind, go in."

Cross your arms across your chest.

Wang Qi raised his chin, sighed softly, and narrowed his eyes as he said, "One last thing to remind you: be careful with your words. Although the headmaster has a good temper, he always acts decisively. If you anger him, you will suffer the consequences."

In the study room.

The flickering lights dimmed and brightened, and a strange evil wind blew towards us.

"What is the Tao? What is the Tao?"

In front of the windowsill.

A tall figure stood with his back to the door. The headmaster Situ Zhong was still dressed in gorgeous clothes, looking up at the full moon in the sky outside the window.

Strange to say.

The other party clearly did not emit any breath, but just based on his own aura, he made Zhang Xianling feel an indescribable sense of oppression.

Frowning slightly.

Zhang Xianling calmed his mind and walked into the study. Before he could react, the door behind him suddenly closed automatically with a loud thud.

"Throughout history, countless talented individuals have spent their entire lives pursuing nothing more than the attainment of the Great Dao. But how many can truly articulate what the true Heavenly Dao is..."

Turn back slowly.

Situ Zhong's eyes were deep, and under the moonlight, he seemed unfathomable. He asked in a deep voice, "Zhang Xianling, what do you think is the true Tao?"

He was startled violently.

Faced with the sudden questioning, Zhang Xianling was stunned and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

No!

I didn't realize this old guy is actually an idealist philosopher?!

"It's very simple."

Close your eyes.

Zhang Xianling spoke without hesitation, "Tao is the human heart!"

As soon as these words came out.

Situ Zhong's pupils shrank, and he asked with interest: "Oh? How do you see..."

"Desire comes from the heart, greed from the courage. Since ancient times, the human heart is the most complicated. The suffering of the world all comes from the greed that is obsessed with profit, but it can never be satisfied."

Look directly into the other person's deep eyes.

Zhang Xianling said calmly, "All distinctions between good and evil, black and white, right and wrong are but a maze of obstacles. If desires are not satisfied, how can they be let go? The human heart is unpredictable, just as the truth is hard to find."

There was a pause.

Zhang Xianling said with absolute certainty, "So, the human heart is the way of heaven. Desires are in the heart, but one should not follow the crowd. Only by keeping one's original heart can one be complete from beginning to end!"

Hear the words.

Situ Zhong pondered for a long time, and a look of horror flashed across his eyes.

In contrast, Zhang Xianling remained calm, with his hands behind his back, without any sign of fear.

What bullshit!

In fact, Zhang Xianling didn't care at all. He only knew what he wanted, which was to climb to the top of the mountain and look down on all the other mountains.

that's enough!

For this goal - to maintain one's nature of seeking profit and avoiding harm, even if it means being vulgar and shameless, or even cheating and using any means necessary.

What's the harm? !

The most important thing is to take control of your own life and live the way that makes you comfortable.

Just as one knows the coldness or warmth of water only after drinking it, one should face up to grudges, honor and disgrace, and it has nothing to do with others!

"interesting......"

A deep smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Situ Zhong stroked his beard, nodded silently, turned around and raised his hand, saying, "Sit down, and have some tea!"

Zhang Xianling was not polite at all. He went to a side seat and sat down calmly. Immediately, a servant came forward and brought warm tea for the two of them.

As you pick up the teacup, a burst of rich and fragrant aroma immediately hits you in the face.

Zhang Xianling raised his eyebrows and looked at the tea in the cup that was sparkling with colorful light, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

I go......

This tea looks like it's been spiked with something else. Is this old guy trying to trick me?!

"Don't worry, there's nothing poisonous in it."

It was as if he could see through Zhang Xianling's thoughts at a glance.

Situ Zhong lifted his teacup and took a sip, then mused, "This tea is called 'Wu Yun Fragrance'. It's a rare treasure from 'Hao Qi City' in the Eastern Region. It has the effect of concentrating Qi and meridians, strengthening the foundation and nourishing the essence. It's extremely beneficial for those of us who practice Taoism. One ounce of tea is worth hundreds of spirit stones. It's a rare treasure from heaven and earth."

There was a pause.

Situ Zhong said coldly: "Even if I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't resort to such extravagant means. Isn't that a waste of natural resources..."

"Eastern Continent"——

It is the first of the four continents in the world of cultivation, and various Taoist sects have flourished here, with the "Junzi Hall" prominently listed among them.

As for "Haoqi City", it is the most prosperous city-state in the "Eastern Continent". It is a pilgrimage site for those who practice Taoism all over the world. It is extremely large and prosperous.

The precious treasures produced there are enough to show how valuable they are.

After hearing this, Zhang Xianling leaned closer and smelled it again.

The fragrance of tea enters your nose and lingers on your teeth and cheeks.

Just by sniffing it, the meridians and acupoints in his body immediately became more active. It seemed that the other party really had no need to fool people.

Zhang Xianling tilted his head back and drank the tea in one gulp, and immediately felt refreshed.

The cyclone that was about to take shape in the Dantian suddenly became a little more condensed for some unknown reason!

Put down the tea cup.

Zhang Xianling was slightly surprised and blurted out: "Good stuff!"

Playing with the teacup in your hand.

Situ Zhong smiled slightly and said slowly, "When you came in just now, you should have seen Yun'er, right?"

Without waiting for Zhang Xianling to react.

Situ Zhong shook his head silently and sighed softly, "This girl has always been dissatisfied with you and has harbored resentment. After hearing that you injured someone and stole treasure, she came to me to complain, saying that you are arrogant because of your talent and have no respect for your elders. I hope that I will put the interests of the sect first and punish you severely. It would be best if I could first destroy your cultivation and then expel you from the sect as a warning to others."

Look up at Zhang Xianling.

Situ Zhong pretended to ponder for a moment, then asked with a deep gaze, "Tell me, how should I decide?"

I go......

No wonder Situ Zhong received the news so quickly and sent Wang Qi to rescue them.

After all the fuss, it turned out that it was that woman who was telling tales behind my back!

If I ignore her, I'll be killed!

It is said that women are the most vicious. The old saying is absolutely true...

"Hasn't the Master already figured out how to deal with me?"

Cross your legs.

Zhang Xianling acted fearless and shrugged, saying, "If the Sect Master had listened to Ouyang Yun's instigation, I wouldn't have had the chance to sit here and chat with you, and that woman wouldn't have left in tears just now."

Hear the words.

Situ Zhong smiled without saying anything, which was considered as his agreement with Zhang Xianling's judgment.

In fact.

Not only did he not follow Ouyang Yun's advice, he even publicly reprimanded his former beloved disciple, asking her to cultivate her character and stay out of the sect's affairs.

"You are indeed a smart man, but you are too ambitious."

Situ Zhong said coldly, "I just appointed you as the head of the sect, and you're brazenly robbing and pillaging the mountain gate. After just one stroll, I'm afraid you've offended every faction within the Junzi Hall."

After hearing this, Zhang Xianling was speechless.

If you think about it carefully, ever since he defeated all the other competitors in the sect examination.

It only took a few days.

From the law enforcement elder Beichen Han to the weapon refining lineage of Fan Bukong, he defeated all the forces within these sects.

Plus, that bitch Ouyang Yun is eyeing us covetously.

Although Zhang Xianling is not a rat crossing the street in this tiny sect, he has already become a lonely man and people stay away from him.

"I believe you are aware that the 'Junzitang' is not a monolithic entity. Apart from me, various factions are fighting openly and secretly, and vying for fame and fortune is a common occurrence."

talking.

Situ Zhong patted the armrest of his chair and said thoughtfully, "The position of Sect Leader is not easy to sit on. For many years, I have appeared to hold all the power, but in reality, I have been walking on thin ice, working tirelessly every day."

Glancing at Situ Zhong.

Zhang Xianling said straight to the point: "Master, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Why are you beating around the bush?"

"Haha, everyone says that cultivation is not easy, but the hardest part is actually standing in line."

Narrow your eyes.

Situ Zhong feigned composure and said softly, "It's rare that you have such profound insights, and you're also a promising talent for cultivation. I'd like to help you and accept you as my last disciple. I'm already old, and someone will have to inherit the legacy of this 'Junzi Hall' in the future."

There was a pause.

Situ Zhong asked directly, "Are you willing?"

Huh! ?

He stood there in amazement.

The corner of Zhang Xianling's mouth twitched suddenly. The development of the situation was beyond his expectations and he was speechless for a moment.
