chamber.
Tian Bo was fascinated by the portrait of Lord Qixing hanging on the hall.
Others sat or stood, no one spoke, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open heavily. Tian Bo frowned, and was about to scold him, but suddenly thought of who broke the door, and swallowed his words back.
Only the seven suzerains can enter the meeting hall, so who else could it be besides that scourge? Let's talk about him, he can pull out a lot of things, so let's save trouble.
Sure enough, when he turned around, he saw Xie Lianzhen's face.
Different from the usual smiley face, he looked very wrong today, his face was so gloomy that water dripped out.
After a hasty salute, he asked: "Masters and uncles, did something happen to Yinshan?"
Tian Bo and Cao Lucun exchanged glances and said, "It's nothing serious, we've already discussed it."
Unexpectedly, Xie Lianzhen did not back down at all, stepped forward, and asked in a deep voice: "Did something happen to Yinshan?"
Seeing him like this, Tian Bo couldn't bear it after all, and scolded: "You also know that the person present is your uncle and uncle, is there any courtesy?"
Xie Lianzhen was too lazy to talk nonsense with him: "I'll ask again! Did something happen to Yinshan?"
Seeing that the two of them were about to get into a stalemate, Cao Lucun hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "Nephew Xie, please calm down, let's talk slowly." He gave Tian Bo a wink, even if they didn't know what kind of temper this year was, he would not let it go. Figured it out. If you expect him to respect his teacher, let's save it, lest he won't be able to step down.
Tian Bo snorted heavily and sat back.
Xie Lianzhen stared at Cao Lucun: "Uncle Cao, tell me."
Cao Lucun said: "If you want to talk about the earthquake, it was indeed reported from the Yinshan Mountain. However, it is still unclear what happened. Don't get excited. Nephew Wei has already rushed over to check it out. Just wait for the news."
"anything else?"
"that's it."
Xie Lianzhen sneered: "Masters and uncles, do you think that I, Lian Zhen Xingjun, are for nothing?"
Tian Bo couldn't hold back, turned around and shouted: "What do you mean? Do you ever talk to elders like this?"
Xie Lianzhen didn't give in at all: "If you don't tell me, I will go to Taixuan Palace!"
"you-"
"Okay, okay," Wenqu Xingjun Wen Wenzhe came out to smooth things over, "They are all from my own family, so take a step back, take a step back!"
Xie Lianzhen didn't buy it, and continued to ask: "Don't think that I don't know, there is a magic circle set up by the masters on the other side of the Yin Mountain. If there is no major incident, how could Brother Wei, as the first suzerain, take personal risks?"
"...Brother Tian?" Cao Lucun looked at Tian Bo.
Fu Jingtao abdicated, and now he is the oldest person with qualifications.
Seeing Xie Lianzhen like this, Tian Bo felt annoyed for a while, so he simply waved his hand and let him do whatever he wanted.
Cao Lucun heaved a sigh of relief, and said to him: "Nephew Xie, something happened to the magic circle in Yinshan. At present, it seems that there are signs of destruction. But don't act rashly. Nephew Wei has already gone to check it, and wait for him to report back. …”
Before he could finish speaking, Xie Lianzhen turned around and went out, running away like a gust of wind.
Tian Bo was furious and pointed at his back: "Look, look! Does he look like a suzerain like this? Disrespecting the teacher, speaking rudely, let the disciples see what he looks like! It's better to ignore everything before!"
Cao Lucun sighed: "Senior Brother Tian, we all know what kind of temper this nephew has, but is it our turn to discipline him? That's all, just hide if you can't provoke him!"
Tian Bo just couldn't understand this: "What's wrong, he's not a disciple of Qizhen Temple? Let him be like this, how will we discipline our disciples in the future? Where are the rules and regulations!"
Wen Wenzhe smiled wryly: "Brother Tian, don't look at him like this in front of us, he is very well-behaved in Taixuan Palace! Even if we report this matter to the ancestors, there is nothing we can do about him."
The more he said that, Tian Bo became angrier. It would be fine if Xie Lianzhen saw that everyone was lawless, but when he came in front of the elders of Taixuan Palace, he pretended to be obedient, and even if he wanted to sue, he couldn't sue! After thinking about it, this is a hedgehog with nowhere to talk!
Qiao Haishu, who had always had great opinions on him, sat there without saying a word, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Tian Bo couldn't help but glanced at him: "Junior Brother Qiao is good at raising energy, so I don't want to be angry."
Qiao Haishu raised his head when he heard the words, his eyes flashed.
His appearance was a little weird, which caused Cao Lucun to look at him several times.
"Junior Brother Qiao, is something on your mind?"
Qiao Haishu moved his lips and said, "Brother, don't you know why he reacted so strongly to Yinshan?"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone fell silent.
After a while, Tian Bo said: "Even so, you can't be so disrespectful, right? He speaks well, why don't we tell him?"
Qiao Haishu smiled wryly: "Brother Tian, in fact, we all know why he is so rude to us. In his heart, when Master Yan passed away, we joined forces to persecute the princess. It was one of them. There is also the matter of Yinshan, which we failed to Rescue in time, causing Brother Xie to be stuck there..."
"What does that have to do with us?" Tian Bo said coldly.
"Is it really irrelevant?" Qiao Haishu looked directly at him, "Thirty-two years have passed in a blink of an eye, is brother really not guilty at all?"
Tian Bo snorted, but didn't say anything.
Qiao Haishu lowered his head: "Anyway, I'm not that calm. For us, this was just a failed mission, but for him, it changed his whole life."
If it weren't for that incident back then, what would Xie Lianzhen be like today? No, in that case, the name Xie Lianzhen today would not belong to him.
The father doesn't have to die, the mother won't remarry, and she won't be unable to stand up because of heart knots.
In the past, with Uncle Yan, he still had support in his heart. Once Uncle Yan passed away, he had nothing left.
Cao Lucun slowly turned the empty cup in his hand, and said, "Junior Brother Qiao is delusional in thinking so, right? It wasn't that we deliberately didn't rescue him back then, it was just that we were misled..."
Qiao Haishu sneered and said, "Senior Brother Cao, why bother to say it so nicely? We didn't pay attention to it directly, so we ignored the clues. Isn't it over?"
Cao Lucun's eyes flickered: "Who would have thought that such a thing would happen? Does Junior Brother Qiao think that we did it on purpose?"
Of course not, the Qizhen Temple has not yet reached this level of infighting. However, at that time, there was more or less a mentality of striving for success, which also led to their misjudgment.
"What's the point of talking about it now?" Cao Lucun sighed, "It's been more than 30 years, and it's useless to dwell on the past."
"That's right," Qiao Haishu said, "What about now? Should we compensate him a little bit? Just think of it as making my conscience feel better."
"How can we make up for it?" Tian Bo finally said, "If it wasn't for his pitiful background, why should we give in to him so far?"
