Chapter 110 Too Rampant
Xu Zhuo felt that it was a mistake for him to come back obediently. Cangqiong Mountain was now ruled by his ancestors and junior ancestors, and he, Xu Zhuo, was simply redundant.
He wanted to fight with Chu Xinglan, it wasn't like he couldn't beat him, but when he looked at the jade slip on the table, he suppressed this dangerous idea.
"I really don't know, I just have a little cough, it's okay to hit me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come back honestly."
He said this from the bottom of his heart, without any shame, and then looked at Chu Xinglan eagerly.
Chen Xiu couldn't stand it anymore, so he coughed lightly and quietly moved closer to Chu Xinglan: "It should be true, he just complained to me."
Chu Xinglan then nodded, agreeing with this statement, and put away his jade slip.
Xu Zhuo finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, you can go now if you are fine. You must perform well in this exchange competition. You have to lead the Foundation Establishment disciples this time."
Chu Xinglan felt a bit of a headache when he heard this. He was really not someone who was willing to lead a team. After all, there were too many things he had to consider if he took on this job, and it would not be as comfortable as acting alone.
With his current cultivation level, it would be a smooth journey once he entered the secret realm, right? Then he could do whatever he wanted.
So he refused directly: "I can't lead them. You can let Han Feiyu and a few others lead the team. They are strong enough."
Xu Zhuo was not happy about this and looked at him with dissatisfaction: "Are you a disciple of Cangqiong Mountain? Can you have a sense of collective honor? This matter is not negotiable."
Chu Xinglan rolled his eyes and said, "Then I won't participate in the foundation building competition. It just so happens that I have been promoted. I will go with Chen Xiu and the others."
Xu Zhuo was amused by him and looked at him with contempt: "You have advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Chen Xiu's team is full of Golden Core Stage disciples, and there are few in the initial stage. What can you do there? Are you going to get beaten?"
"Who are you looking down on? I'm already on the same level as Chen Xiu!"
"Everyone can brag. I am as good as the old ancestor."
Seeing the two people arguing again, Chen Xiu was speechless. He pulled Chu Xinglan and explained to Xu Zhuo.
"His strength is indeed similar to mine. We have sparred before."
After that, he looked at Chu Xinglan again: "I know it's the same for you to join my group, but like we said before, we must always be prepared for trouble."
"Lead the team and let Song Ling, Han Feiyu and others come, but you have to go in."
After he said this, Chu Xinglan also remembered the matter of the man in black robe and the demon clan, and felt a little confused.
He didn't care much about the lives of those disciples he didn't know, or even those who were still confused, but that didn't apply to Song Ling and the others. Even for their sake, he had to go in.
"Well, let's make a deal. I won't be a nanny."
Chen Xiu smiled and rubbed his head: "It's okay, our two groups will definitely not compete at the same time. When you come out, how about going to the Golden Core Secret Realm with me?"
Chu Xinglan thought about it and thought that this was also a good idea. The secret realm outside of their Cangqiong Mountain was created by their own master himself. He could also participate in it and it would be fun to go and see it with his own eyes.
After coming out, I'll go to the Shangguan family's secret realm for a spin without missing out on anything.
The two of them were talking animatedly, and in just a few words they settled the matter. Poor Xu Zhuo, who was standing aside, was completely confused and was scratching his head anxiously.
"What are you two doing here, are you ashamed to be seen?"
"I am still the head of the sect. You two are too arrogant. Believe it or not, I will put you two in solitary confinement and prevent you from going anywhere."
Chu Xinglan's goal had been achieved, and he was too lazy to argue with him anymore, so he said to Chen Xiu.
"I'm going to go back first. You can explain to him. Tell me if there's any new information."
After saying that, he walked out of the courtyard, rode on the clouded leopard and disappeared into Xu Zhuo's courtyard.
Xu Zhuo's eyes widened, and he pointed in disbelief at the direction where Chu Xinglan left, and looked at Chen Xiu: "Is he so rampant now? I'm such a grown-up sitting here, and he doesn't even know how to say goodbye to me?"
Chen Xiu was really impressed by his master, and advised him earnestly: "Why are you so hard on him? You are such a grown-up, and you still bother with a child."
Xu Zhuo didn't like what he heard. He glared at him and said dissatisfiedly, "Is this my fault? There has not been a single day since he came to Cangqiong Mountain that he didn't make me angry."
"If it weren't for the protection of my ancestors, I would definitely give him a good beating."
Chen Xiu thought, it was you who was disrespectful to the elders first, but he didn't want to say this out loud, so he changed the subject.
He recounted his previous conversation and speculation with Chu Xinglan.
"Did you notice something was wrong during your visit to Anmo City this time?"
When it came to business, Xu Zhuo stopped making a fuss and pondered for a few breaths before speaking.
"I really didn't go into the city, but I went to the demon barrier and saw no signs of it being broken."
"Besides, Anmo City is not guarded by just one family, so the probability of everyone having problems is low, especially the group of bald donkeys in Hanshan Temple. They are the anti-demon clan, so I suspect they have opened another passage."
"Since the demons have discovered the evil spirit, it is very likely that they left from that side."
Although his master was unreliable, he was able to sit on the position of the head of Cangqiong Mountain, and his vision and strength were top-notch. Since he dared to say so, Chen Xiu had no doubts.
Chen Xiu reported the latest news to Xu Zhuo again, and the two of them exchanged information with each other. After chatting for another hour, they finally reached an agreement on what they had discussed.
Xu Zhuo rarely felt that he was a little out of tune. Looking at the dark circles under Chen Xiu's eyes and the fatigue between his brows, he felt a little distressed.
"You don't have to worry about these chores these days. I'll take care of it. You can have a good rest."
"I will tell the other elders about your concerns and ask them to instruct their disciples."
"This is all speculation now, so don't make it public. When you enter the secret realm, you will have to pay more attention to it."
Chen Xiu was quite happy to hear the news. He had been feeling a bit overwhelmed during this period, especially in these troubled times. He did not dare to talk to the elders about many things for fear that something might go wrong.
He bowed to Xu Zhuo and said, "Thank you very much, Master. Please take a rest. I will take my leave now."
After the courtyard quieted down, Xu Zhuo sat at the table for a long time calmly, as if waiting for something.
Until an inconspicuous paper crane appeared in front of him. He poured his spiritual power into the paper crane and then casually took it apart.
He quickly glanced at the note and after seeing the contents clearly, a flame appeared in the palm of his hand. The flame rolled and the note disappeared.
He casually threw the burning ashes at his feet, and when the wind blew away, not a trace was left.
He stood up and went back to his bedroom.
