Evil Master and Disciple

When the master and his two disciples returned to their residence, the courtyard had changed a lot. The courtyard, which was originally overgrown with weeds and covered with dust, had been cleaned up.

The errand disciples are now cleaning the room.

Seeing Master Yulong coming back, a young man with dark skin walked over.

He bowed and said, "Master Yulong, your courtyard will be cleaned up soon. Would you like to leave two servants to take care of your daily life?"

Originally, Master Yulong wanted to choose two clever little girls. After all, his daughter was already quite old. Since he brought her back, he would definitely teach her the skills. He couldn't let his precious daughter waste time on washing clothes and cooking. She really needed someone to take care of her food and daily life.

However, after learning that Ye Feng was murdered and buried in a mass grave, Master Yulong changed his mind.

He doesn't want anyone to have two spies around him.

So he waved his hand and said, "I'm used to being idle all my life, and I'm afraid of being served by others. Let's talk about this matter later."

The young disciple nodded slightly and said, "Well, if Master-Uncle needs menial servants, you can go to the outer sect and choose one."

Soon, several rooms, the kitchen, and the small dining hall were all cleaned.

These outer disciples worked very carefully, even cleaning the bottom of the bed spotlessly.

The reason why I worked so hard was mainly to leave a good impression on Master Yulong.

These outer disciples who do menial work have a very low status. If they can be noticed by an elder and kept to take care of the elder's life, then their status will be greatly improved instantly.

According to statistics, there is at least a 40% chance that these outer disciples who take care of the elders personally will be accepted as disciples by the elders.

In this way, they can soar to the sky and become elite inner disciples.

The room had just been cleaned, and Master Yulong was about to close the door to inquire about Ye Feng being buried in the mass grave.

Suddenly, many people came to the outside of the courtyard, and the leader was Master Yuheng, the chief elder of the Beast Spirit Court.

He was followed by many disciples, carrying a lot of firewood, rice, oil, salt, chicken, duck, fish and other daily necessities.

Master Yulong, who had disappeared for three years, returned to the mountain with his long-lost daughter. Half a day had passed, and the news had already spread throughout Xingluo Peak.

There was also news that Master Yulong was furious because his eldest disciple Ye Feng was sent by the Beast Spirit Academy to guard the medicine garden, and threatened to destroy the Beast Spirit Academy early tomorrow morning.

Master Yuheng was very nervous when he heard the news.

They are old friends who have known each other for three or four hundred years, so they naturally understand Master Yulong's temperament.

When others say they want to destroy the Beast Spirit Academy, they are definitely joking.

When Master Yulong said to smash it, he probably really meant it.

In order to prevent the matter from getting out of hand, Master Yuheng came in person.

Among the six academies in Yunhai, the Beast Spirit Academy is the largest, has the most troubles, and has the widest scope of work.

The Beast Spirit Academy is more like the Ministry of Revenue of the imperial court.

But he is not only responsible for the spiritual beasts and spiritual medicines in the sect.

They are also responsible for the daily necessities of tens of thousands of disciples in the Yunhai Sect, such as fruits, vegetables, chickens, ducks, fish and meat, as well as the procurement of supplies. Even many of the Yunhai Sect's industries in the mortal world are under their control.

Master Yuheng was seven feet tall, thin, and had a Taoist bun. Although he had a goatee, it was very sparse.

Because he was very thin, his cheekbones looked a little prominent and his eye sockets were sunken, but his eyes were as bright as an eagle's.

A hundred years ago, he had already reached the eighth level of the Heavenly Man Realm, and now he is at least at the peak of the Heavenly Man Realm.

He was in charge of the Beast Spirit Academy for a short time, only a little over fifty years.

The Beast Spirit Academy has sixteen elders and deacons, as well as hundreds of disciples. He rarely shows up on weekdays. If there is nothing big happening in the Beast Spirit Academy, the deacons can handle it.

"Brother Yulong, I heard that you found your biological daughter in the mortal world. Congratulations! I know you just returned and must be having a lot of trouble in your life. Please send him some necessities as soon as possible."

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. As soon as Master Yuheng came in, he showed a harmless smile.

Master Yulong, who came out of the room after hearing the voice, didn't seem to buy it. He rolled his eyes and snorted, "Yuheng, I was planning to go to the Beast Spirit Court to look for you tomorrow morning, but you showed up here on your own.

I hope you can give me a reasonable and flawless explanation for my eldest disciple's exile to the herb garden, otherwise I will never let you go today!"

"There's a misunderstanding here. Let's go inside and talk about it. Let's go inside and talk about it..."

Master Yuheng pushed Master Yulong into the house.

Seeing that Yuheng kept pushing him into the house, Yulong knew that there must be something hidden, which he couldn't say in public.

He then said, "Feng'er, have these disciples move the daily necessities into the kitchen first, and put the wine and beverages into the wine cellar downstairs..."

"I understand, Master!"

Master Yuheng spent a lot of money today. The daily necessities sent to him were quite a lot, including more than thirty jars of fine wine alone.

Considering that it was cold on the mountain and Huang Ling'er had no cultivation and it would be difficult for her to resist, she also sent over a few quilts.

As a fourth-rank elder, Master Yulong's room is also very simple.

After entering, Master Yulong did not pour tea for the guests.

He just sat on the chair with a dark face.

Master Yuheng looked around and hesitated to speak.

"Don't worry, there's a soundproof barrier in my room. With the door closed, even if someone is chopped into pieces inside, no one outside can hear it."

"That's good. Senior Brother Yulong, I know you are very dissatisfied with Junior Brother Ye Feng guarding the medicine garden, but I am also very helpless about this matter." Master Yuheng looked embarrassed.

"Yuheng, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Has anything happened in the sect during the three years I've been away?"

"Well, it's all about that chair."

Although there was a soundproof barrier, Master Yuheng still deliberately lowered his voice at this moment.

Master Yulong frowned slightly. He knew that the chair Yuheng was talking about was the throne of the leader of Yunhai Sect.

He said slowly, "When I came down the mountain three years ago, weren't Changkong and Jinghong quite obedient? How come they're fighting again after only three years? Didn't Senior Brother Yunyi intervene?"

The current leader of the Yunhai Sect, Master Yun Yi, has seven true disciples.

They are the eldest disciple Dugu Changkong, the second disciple Fu Jinghong, the third disciple Qin Han, the fourth disciple Liu Changyuan, the fifth disciple Li Yuhai, the sixth disciple Lin Yi, and the youngest disciple Miao Xiaorou.

The Changkong and Jinghong mentioned by Master Yulong are Master Yunyi's eldest and second disciples.

Both of them are extremely talented and gifted. They started practicing at an early age and are now over a hundred years old.

Everyone knows that the future successor of Yunhai Sect will definitely be one of these two.

The two have been fighting openly and secretly over the years in order to compete for the position of young master.

Their master, Master Yun Yi, turned a blind eye to this. After all, this was the tradition of the Yunhai Sect. He had defeated his eldest senior brother and became the head of the Yunhai Sect.

"Brother Yulong, you haven't been with the sect for the past few years, so you don't know a lot of things. Since you left the mountain three years ago, the head brother has been in seclusion frequently, striving to reach the Heaven's End.

Many affairs within the sect are handled by the two nephews, Changkong and Jinghong.

Everyone knew that this was a test from the head master to the two of them, and he wanted to choose the best one to be the successor.

In the past two years, the two of them took advantage of the headmaster's retreat to place many trusted aides in the Sixth Academy."

Master Yuheng looked helpless.

He had also experienced the struggle for succession more than two hundred years ago and knew how terrifying the struggle for political power was.

No one can remain immune to it. Almost all the elders of the Yunhai Sect will take sides and be forced to get involved.

Master Yulong frowned, and after a while he said, "How could the open and covert struggle between Changkong and Jinghong involve my disciple? He's just a small-time character who hasn't even reached the Flying Realm."

“I don’t know the specific details. Believe it or not, I didn’t know about Ye Feng being transferred to the medicine garden before.

I was also in seclusion for cultivation during that time, and only heard about this incident after I came out.

Senior Brother Yulong, you know me well. If I were here, I would definitely not send your disciples to guard the herb garden."

"Well, I do believe that. Junior Brother Yuheng, who handled Feng'er's matter?"

"Junior Brother Lin Yi."

"Is it him? He is from Changkong's faction. Could this matter be related to Changkong?"

"I didn't say that."

Master Yuheng quickly denied it and distanced himself from the matter.

Dugu Changkong is very likely to become the leader of the Yunhai Sect in the future, so Master Yuheng naturally doesn't dare to offend him. However, from his strange expression at the moment, it can be seen that Master Yulong's guess is probably correct.

Master Yulong said slowly, "Their struggle is their business. Why did they bring Feng'er to the herb garden? Feng'er poses no danger to them at all. What secret is involved?"

Master Yuheng shrugged and said, "You'll have to ask Junior-Martial Brother Ye Feng about that."

"I want to, too, but Feng'er was murdered some time ago. Luckily, he was lucky enough to crawl out of his grave, but he lost a lot of his memories and can hardly remember anything."

"what?"

Master Yuheng stood up suddenly, his thin face revealing an expression of shock that was difficult to conceal.

"We, the righteous leader of the Yunhai Sect, take it as our duty to uphold justice and uphold justice, and slay demons and monsters. Killing a fellow disciple is a heinous crime. Who is so bold?"

Master Yulong said this just to test Master Yuheng.

Seeing that Master Yuheng looked extremely surprised and didn't seem to be faking it, Master Yulong knew that this matter had nothing to do with him.

He said slowly, "Perhaps Feng'er didn't lose some magical herbs and Ganoderma lucidum to bring about his death, but rather he learned a secret that he shouldn't have known, which is why someone wants him to disappear forever."

Master Yuheng said, "Do you want me to send someone to investigate?"

"No need for that. With the successive generations of sect leaders, there are always countless more corpses in the mass graves. Alas, who in the sect can remain immune to this..."
