Chapter 18 Waste Xu Zhuo
Chapter 18 Waste Xu Zhuo
Sang Yunqi looked at Chu Xinglan in confusion.
"Why do you suddenly want to go to another room?"
It’s no wonder Sang Yunqi was acting strange. It was because he had chased Chu Xinglan away at the beginning, but this guy insisted on staying with him.
Now that this request is suddenly made, has something happened that he doesn't know about?
Chu Xinglan scratched his chin, his mind racing, trying to find a suitable reason.
But the images from the morning completely occupied his mind, and he couldn't explain what was going on for a while.
Maybe... he was a little reluctant to give up this huge benefit?
Sang Yunqi saw Chu Xinglan scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously, and then he was completely absent-minded. Some emotions appeared in those fiery red pupils that he could not distinguish.
"?"
"Xinglan, just say it if you have something to say."
Chu Xinglan didn't bother to think of a good reason and spoke haltingly.
"It's just... it's just that I think... I think Master needs some personal space. I've disturbed Master a lot before... I've been in Master's room before."
"It even...it even affected Master's rest. Yes, it affected Master's rest."
"It just so happens that there are other houses in the back hills. I will go there to rest from now on."
As Chu Xinglan spoke, he convinced himself and looked at Sang Yunqi with sincerity.
Sang Yunqi roughly understood what he meant from his stuttering words, that is, the child wanted independent space.
But I was too embarrassed to say it, so I said I didn't want to delay myself.
Although I felt some unspeakable regret in my heart, I still nodded in agreement.
"Then don't get up late tomorrow morning and wait for me at the top of the mountain."
After Chu Xinglan agreed, he ran out quickly.
Sang Yunqi returned to the house alone. Looking at the room which had not changed at all, he felt uncomfortable everywhere. After thinking for a while, he got up and went to Xu Zhuo.
Xu Zhuo was talking to Chen Xiu in the yard. When they saw Sang Yunqi coming, they both greeted him hurriedly.
"No need to be polite, what did you two say, master and disciple?"
Just when Xu Zhuo was about to ask Chen Xiu to leave, he heard Sang Yunqi's question. The two looked at each other, somewhat hesitant.
"Hmm? I can't know?"
Seeing that the two of them seemed to be hesitant to talk, Sang Yunqi became more interested, "Is it related to me?"
Chen Xiu looked at his leader and made up his mind to tell him what they had just discussed.
What they were talking about was what happened to Chu Xinglan this afternoon.
Chen Xiu briefly explained it, and then talked about the rumors among the disciples in the sect, as well as the discussions in the outside world about Sang Yunqi accepting a disciple.
After hearing this, Sang Yunqi sneered, and the powerful pressure directly pressed the two men to the ground.
"I, Sang Yunqi, accept a disciple. Do they have the right to say irresponsible things?!"
Xu Zhuo moved his fingers with difficulty to add a protective shield for Chen Xiu, fearing that the successor he had found with great difficulty would be killed by mistake.
Seeing that Chen Xiu looked much better, Xu Zhuo looked at Sang Yunqi.
"Old Ancestor, they are just saying the grapes are sour because they can't eat them. Why do you have to argue with them?"
"As for those stupid bastards today, I have already sent a message to Xu Yan of the Discipline Hall, asking him to punish them severely!"
"Of course I won't let Chu Xinglan suffer any injustice."
Sang Yunqi's eyes were filled with ice, and even his usually clear voice seemed to contain ice chips.
"Those with evil thoughts will be driven out of the sky."
Xu Zhuo smiled bitterly. He was truly sad inside, but he still honestly explained the current situation to Sang Yunqi.
"Grandmaster, I know you are angry, but we cannot expel these people now."
"cannot?"
"Really can't."
Xu Zhuo smiled bitterly and continued to explain.
"Ever since the last time the Gong family came to visit, there have been bad rumors out there. Of course, they don't dare to target you, but they say all kinds of things about Xing Lan."
"During this apprenticeship ceremony, you announced in front of so many people that you would only accept Chu Xinglan as your apprentice."
"I don't know how many people's plans have failed, so they are hoping that something will happen to Chu Xinglan so that they can arrange for their own people to take the position."
"If you ask me, these people today are just brainless guys, and they didn't cause any harm to Xing Lan."
"If we keep them under our noses, we can keep a better eye on them and prevent them from causing any more trouble."
"Once we really kick them out, if they talk nonsense, we will be in a passive position and it will be difficult to deal with them."
As Xu Zhuo spoke, he observed the expression of his ancestor, but Sang Yunqi did not move at all. Xu Zhuo was really tired.
The ancestor has been invincible for too long and no longer cares about these little tricks, but he knows that gossip can melt metal and constant criticism can destroy a person.
Seeing this, Chen Xiu, who was standing by, secretly winked at his master.
Xinglan, raise Xinglan!
After all, they had been master and disciple for decades, so Xu Zhuo quickly understood Chen Xiu's meaning and cheered up.
"Grandmaster, even if you don't care about these, you still have to consider Xing Lan."
"No one dares to say anything to you, for fear that some conspiracy, tricky and mean things will be directed at Xinglan."
“Isn’t today’s incident a good example?”
Sang Yunqi then looked at Xu Zhuo condescendingly, as if what he had said before was all nonsense.
Xu Zhuo: “…”
"I understand. Please take care of the matter. I don't want it to happen again."
Xu Zhuo nodded quickly, "I will definitely get it done, don't worry, ancestor."
After expressing his attitude, he asked cautiously.
"Old Ancestor, can you put away your magical powers now?"
Sang Yunqi understood and withdrew his pressure, and both Master Xu Zhuo and his disciple breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly got up from the ground and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
Sang Yunqi looked at Xu Zhuo, who was sweating profusely, and couldn't help but complain.
"You are becoming more and more useless. Over the years, your cultivation has not improved at all."
"It's just a little bit of pressure, but it's like I want to kill you."
After saying that, he went straight back to the back mountain without caring what Xu Zhuo behind him thought.
Xu Zhuo looked sideways at Chen Xiu in a daze, "I'm a waste? I'm the leader of the cultivation world, a great Tribulation Crossing Stage expert, but I'm a waste?"
"Even the Shangguan family's much-praised genius is only at the Mahayana stage now!"
Chen Xiu knew that the ancestor had touched upon his master's sore spot. During all these years as the sect leader, his master's cultivation had not improved much.
But as the master's disciple, he certainly can't say that.
"Master, compared to our ancestors, isn't it normal for us to be called trash?"
"We are just ordinary people, and our ancestor is a god. There is no comparison at all."
Xu Zhuo thought about what Chen Xiu said and it seemed to be true.
Why would he compete with a pervert?
