My gaze towards Lu Xiaoying changed unconsciously several times, and a complex look flashed across Lu Xiaoying's eyes, but she didn't open her mouth to explain anything to me.
Hua Yanyu turned around and asked, "Who are you? As far as I know, Lu Xiaoying has never joined the Xuan Jing Division. Why did you agree on her behalf?"
The man walked out of the crowd and said with a nod and a bow, "Your Excellency, I am Lu Xiaoying's aunt. My last name is Chen, and my name is Chen Yuxin. Our Chen family officially became a vassal family of the Lin family of Xuan Jing Division two years ago. Therefore, we are also considered to be members of Xuan Jing Division. Lu Xiaoying grew up in the Chen family since she was a child. In this way, Xuan Jing Division has the right to make decisions for her."
Hua Yanyu nodded and said, "Although the relationship is a bit far-fetched, it is reasonable. Lu Xiaoying, what do you think?"
Lu Xiaoying shook his head and said, "I will not enter the holy land."
Chen Yuxin shouted, "Lu Xiaoying, what do you want to do? The family has done everything they can to raise you, and now it's time for you to repay the family, and you actually say you don't want to enter the Holy Land?"
Lu Xiaoying said coldly: "My last name is Lu, not Chen. You'd better not mention one family on the left and another on the right. I have nothing to do with your Chen family."
"Bullshit!" Chen Yuxin shouted, "When your father threw you to the family, who took you in and raised you? How dare you say..."
Lu Xiaoying interrupted the other party before he could finish, "Who was it that repeatedly rejected me back then? Who was it that watched a little girl crying and begging for a place to stay among the seven Chen clans, and finally had to sleep under someone else's roof?"
I suddenly looked at Lu Xiaoying. I didn't expect that Lu Xiaoying, who had always been strong, had experienced such a childhood.
Chen Yuxin said firmly: "After all, you also grew up eating the Chen family's food!"
Lu Xiaoying said coldly: "The food you eat in the Chen family is earned by me doing laundry, sweeping the yard, and working as a servant. You'd better stop flattering yourself."
Chen Yuxin was so angry that his heart was heaving. He strode to the stage and said, "Saint Envoy, Lu Xiaoying is ungrateful. I request the Holy Land to make a ruling."
Hua Yanyu frowned and said, "This is a bit difficult! After all, Lu Xiaoying refuses to admit that she is a member of the Chen family. I think it is better to..."
"There is no need for the Holy Land to make a ruling. Everything is based on Miss Lu's wishes!" The sudden voice from the Xuan Jing Division immediately attracted everyone's attention.
When I saw the middle-aged man who was talking, I couldn't help but let my eyes stay on him for a moment. Although he was over 40, he was very elegant and made people feel very close to him at first glance.
Chen Yuxin turned around and said, "Master Sun, this is our Chen family's business..."
Hall Master Sun said coldly: "Don't embarrass yourself there, get out of here right now."
Chen Yuxin was dissatisfied and asked, "Can Hall Master Sun still make decisions for the Lin family?"
"Senior Yifan can indeed make the decision for the Lin family on this matter." Lin Jingyuan, who came out from nowhere, walked to the front of the stage with his hands behind his back, "Chen Yuxin, since Senior Yifan has already spoken, then don't dwell on this matter any more, just step back!"
Chen Yuxin looked at Lu Xiaoying unwillingly, gritted his teeth and stepped aside.
But I turned my gaze to Master Sun who was speaking for Lu Xiaoying.
Just now Lin Jingyuan called him "Senior Yifan", so he is Sun Yifan
Lu Xiaoying said to Sun Yifan calmly: "Thank you."
Sun Yifan smiled back: "Why be so polite? I have always admired Miss Lu's talents."
Lu Xiaoying said calmly: "Being appreciated by Sun Yifan may not be a good thing."
Sun Yifan smiled and sat back in his original seat, but the women standing near Sun Yifan glared at Lu Xiaoying, some of them even had deep jealousy in their eyes.
Hua Yanyu looked at Lu Xiaoying and the other two and then said, "It seems that I will be the first Holy Envoy to return empty-handed. In fact, I also admire the talents of the three of you very much. If you change your mind one day, you can come to me again."
As Hua Yanyu stood up, Nangong Ling suddenly rushed to the front of the stage and said, "Nangong Ling is willing to follow the Holy Envoy and serve the Holy Land. Please accept me in."
Hua Yanyu didn't even look at Nangong Ling: "You are not qualified to enter the Holy Land. Come to me when you can stand on your own!"
Nangong Ling looked at Hua Yanyu in disbelief, his face turned red and he was speechless for a long time.
Hua Yanyu had already turned around and walked off the stage, leaving Nangong Ling there, neither able to walk nor stand. It was not until Sun Yue walked up and pulled her over that her embarrassment was relieved.
I exchanged glances with Ye Jin in the distance, and then we went to surround Nangong Ling. Dou Ma said, "Come back, both of you! It's useless to capture Nangong Ling, she can't get rid of the peach blossom poison."
Ye Jin said unwillingly: "Then let the monk hang on like that, half dead?"
Dou Ma said in a deep voice: "I have a way to deal with the monk, you guys come back."
I then returned to where I was. Shen Lin put his hands behind his back and said, "Wu Zhao, Tingxue Pavilion has been abandoned for many years. As the Pavilion Master, you must recruit your own personnel and raise your own funds. Huang Dou can go to Tingxue Pavilion as the sitting elder, but you have to arrange other things yourself."
Shen Lin's voice sank as he said, "But remember one thing, from today on, Jiuchong Pavilion is your backer. No matter what you do, you don't need to look ahead or behind, just go ahead and do it. As long as you don't do anything harmful, Jiuchong Pavilion will cover it for you. Okay, find a place for Tingxue Pavilion to go! When you are free, you can come to the main altar with Huangdou. I haven't eaten Huangdou's food for a long time."
"You're so greedy!" Dou Ma cursed and then said, "I'll explain the matter of Jiuchong Pavilion to you later. Let's go take care of the monk first."
Mother Dou led me to the direction of Prajna Temple quickly. Before she could speak, the leading monk of Prajna Temple said, "Mr. Wu, Mr. Dou has already told me about Mr. Shi. Mr. Shi can temporarily enter Prajna Temple to practice Buddhism and suppress the poison. Please rest assured."
I looked at Monk Shi and said, "Monk, can you go to the temple?"
Although Monk Shi is a Buddhist sorcerer, he is an unruly person. Can he bear the strict rules and regulations of the temple
Monk Shi smiled and said, "Don't worry about anything. I just want to find a quiet place to think about some things. Prajna Temple is a good choice."
I patted Monk Shi on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead! I will find a way to detoxify you as soon as possible and get you out."
Monk Shi smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry about this matter. Maybe after I enter the Prajna Temple, I will wake up and devote myself to Buddhism."
"Bullshit!" Ye Jin cursed, "With your bad behavior, you'd be a frivolous monk even if you become a monk. You better stay in the temple quietly until we pick you up for a drink."
Monk Shi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
I could see that Monk Shi was not telling the truth. Nangong Ling had already made him disheartened. Maybe after staying in Prajna Temple for a long time, he would really see through the world and become a monk.
I couldn't help but sigh and said, "Master, I failed this time..."
The old monk opposite me waved his hand before I could finish, saying, "I have heard from Zhihui that you cannot be blamed entirely for this matter. Let's write off the grudge between Mr. Wu and Prajna Temple!"
I said solemnly: "Although my ability is not high, if Prajna Temple needs me, I will definitely do my best."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Wu." The old monk was very polite, but I could tell he was just being polite. In fact, if I think about it carefully, I would probably have the same idea as him. As one of the four major sects of magic, what can the Prajna Temple do with me
Dou Ma thanked the old monk solemnly, and I watched Shi Monk leave. Shi Monk never looked back at us from beginning to end. His back seemed extremely lonely in the crowd, as if he had cut off his determination and loneliness from the world.
Xiao Baitang gently pulled the corner of my clothes and said, "Brother Wu Zhao, do you think Brother Shi will come back?"
I sighed and said, "I don't know. But I must find a way to cure the poison. I must give my brother an explanation. Let's go!"
After we got into the car without saying a word, Dou Ma said, "Wu Zhao, I'd like to tell you about Jiuchong Pavilion."
"The Jiuchong Pavilion, as the name suggests, is made up of nine pavilions, which are divided into four inner pavilions and five outer pavilions. Only the four inner pavilions of "Earth, Xuan, Huang, and An" are the core of the Jiuchong Pavilion. Even the pavilion masters of the five outer pavilions are not allowed to easily set foot in the main altar without being summoned. Some pavilion masters have never stepped into the main altar of the Jiuchong Pavilion in their entire lives!"
"Today Shen Lin told you that you can go to Jiuchong Pavilion to have dinner with him when you are free. This is a great honor for you. It is also an announcement to the entire art world that you are the one he has chosen. Tonight, the Pavilion Masters and Shopkeepers of the Outer Five Pavilions may not be able to sleep."
"As for the Outer Five Pavilions of 'Wind, Flowers, Snow, and Moon'..." Dou Ma paused for a moment, "In addition to ensuring that the Outer Five Pavilions are not persecuted by the major sects of the Dao and Magic Sect, the headquarters has always adopted a laissez-faire attitude. If you have the ability, let the Outer Pavilion you are in charge of look down on the Dao and Magic Sect. If you don't have the ability, just wait for it to fend for itself. The Pavilion Master of Tingxue Pavilion before you was expelled from Jiuchong Pavilion because of poor management, and now he can only be a manager of Yaoyue Pavilion."
Dou Ma pointed at the people in the car and said, "Your Tingxue Pavilion only has these members now. Whether you can make a name for yourself in the art of magic in the future depends on your ability. As for the rest..."
Dou Ma said, "Before, you had no backing, so you were always a little timid in doing things; from now on, no matter what you do, you can do it with all your strength. Even if you kill him to pieces, Jiuchong Pavilion will support you."
I subconsciously turned my head to look at the beauties in the car and couldn't help but shudder.
