Gao Xiang turned around in the tent with an anxious expression on his face.
After a while, the curtain was lifted and a man walked in.
He looks around thirty, looks a bit lonely, and wears the costume of the elders of Jiuyao Palace.
When Gao Xiang saw him, he was overjoyed: "Master!"
This man is Gao Xiang's master, An Tongchen, Zhuo Jiangui's direct disciple.
An Tongchen nodded and sat down with a flick of his sleeves.
"Master!" Gao Xiang almost rushed over, "It's great of you to come! Mingshu is gone!"
"Master, I heard about it." An Tongchen's tone was calm and unwavering, sounding cold, just like his impression. This feeling is very similar to Zhuo Jiangui, but different. Zhuo Jiangui's coldness lies in his appearance, when he really gets along with him, he doesn't feel cold. An Tongchen was as cold as ice from his temperament to his attitude.
"Master Zhang went to look, but found nothing. Master, you..."
The next moment, Gao Xiang's words were cut off, and An Tongchen said decisively: "As a teacher, I want to participate in hunting, and I don't have time to go."
Gao Xiang was stunned: "Master..."
With Zhang Qiang's help that day, he rushed back to the camp. Liu Lin's lineage has always been passed on alone, and he doesn't have any uncles or uncles to turn to for help. Fortunately, the master and the ancestor still have a few good friends. Under the guidance of an uncle, he found Zhang Kun, the master uncle Zhang, who is in charge of the Lower Court of Jiulu Prefecture.
This master Zhang's uncle is also in the lineage of Grandmaster Xiang, that is, Lu Mingshu's serious elder of the same line. After hearing his report, Uncle Master Zhang really sent his disciples there.
But the result disappointed Gao Xiang.
The rescuers followed the phantom all the way, and finally found a strange stone in the valley. This incident was exposed, and there was a lot of quarrel surrounding the ownership of Yishi. Although that uncle remembered Master Zhang's order, he was also involved. In the end, he searched hastily, but found nothing, and Lu Mingshu just disappeared out of thin air.
The hunt was a serious matter, and experts came one after another. Gao Xiang patiently waited for several days, and finally he got his master.
He thought that Lu Mingshu was finally saved when the master came, but he didn't expect the master to directly reject his request.
"Master, it is the ancestor who wants to protect her."
After hearing Gao Xiang's words, An Tongchen's eyes became colder: "Are you accusing Master of doing something wrong, using Master to suppress me?"
This crime is a bit serious, Gao Xiang bit his lip, bowed his head: "I don't dare."
An Tongchen said coldly: "Your master asked you to walk with her to protect her, but it didn't mean you put her ahead of yourself, let alone value her more than you, a decent disciple."
Gao Xiang dared not speak.
"Put the cart before the horse, put the cart before the horse, what do you consider yourself to be?" An Tongchen was even stricter, "Are you the direct descendant of my Liulin lineage, or her servant?"
Gao Xiang was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Master, I didn't mean that." This was too serious, he was just worried about his friend's safety.
An Tongchen didn't listen to him: "Isn't that what you mean? As soon as your teacher came, you didn't greet him or ask about the situation, but just said you wanted to save that girl. In your heart, is she more important than being a teacher?"
Gao Xiang was startled, and hurriedly knelt down: "I dare not."
"Just don't dare, remember who you are!" An Tongchen's tone was stern.
He has been dissatisfied with this for a long time. Gao Xiang was chosen as a disciple not only because of his excellent aptitude and extraordinary understanding, but also because he is sincere and independent. It looked fine before, but the more I look at it these past few years, the more something is wrong. When I meet that girl in Bixigu, she seems to have no brains. His disciple, An Tongchen, was not taught to be an answerer.
He knew that Gao Xiang was not to blame for this matter, that girl's mind was too fast, and when she was with her, he didn't have to use his own brain. Over time, he got used to letting her make up her mind.
But this habit is definitely not a good thing for Gao Xiang! Liulin's lineage also doesn't want an inheritor who has no independent opinion.
Taking the opportunity to hit Gao Xiang, An Tongchen softened his tone: "Being a teacher is not about waiting for death. You should think about the joints in it yourself. Uncle Zhang has already sent his disciples, but they have not found their whereabouts, which means that there are two Possibly. First, the child was robbed and killed. Second, she was lucky and escaped from death. No matter what the result is, being a teacher can't change anything. Besides, there is a commotion over there, so I went, Even if you have no thoughts, it is inevitable that others will think too much. My Liulin branch is independent of sect disputes, so you should think about how troublesome it is to get involved in this matter."
Gao Xiang was just impatient, not out of his mind. As soon as he was reminded, he immediately understood the key point and felt guilty: "Tuer is wrong..."
"It's good to know that you are wrong. If you can't correct it, I don't mind changing my disciples as a teacher." After finishing speaking coldly, An Tongchen said again, "You also pack up and go hunting with the teacher. In order to create momentum for their own boy, the Zhou family It cost a lot of money. My Liulin lineage will not participate in the dispute, but the disciples will not back down!"
Gao Xiang hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously: "That Mingshu..."
An Tongchen glanced at him: "Why do you look like this? Being a teacher is just to let you use your brain more, not to ask you to abandon your friends. You have known her since childhood, and you should care about her."
Gao Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, showing a naive smile: "Master..."
"My teacher has already sent someone to search there. If there is any news, I will report back. You don't have to worry."
"Yes..." Having said that, Gao Xiang was still worried. He had incomparable confidence in Lu Mingshu, if he didn't find the body, then she would definitely not die. However, after all, she only has the inner breath realm, and she is in danger everywhere near the beast den, what should she do if she is trapped? It seems that one can only hope that the people sent by Master can find her whereabouts smoothly.
…
On the nameless mountain, Yan Wugui was sitting on a big rock with a knife in his arms.
The cold wind blows, and the coolness hits the body.
"Jiuyao Palace is very powerful this time," he said.
Lu Mingshu looked around, but didn't see any mystery, so he asked, "Where did you see it?"
Yan Wugui pointed: "Don't you think it's too quiet?"
"so?"
"This is the Beast Cave." Yan Wugui patiently explained, "Beast Cave, you can understand it as a town of monsters. We walked all the way, how often we encountered fierce beasts, don't I need to tell you?"
Lu Mingshu got it right: "I understand, since it's a town, it shouldn't be so quiet. The quieter it is, the more unusual it is."
"Not bad." The more we get along with each other, the more satisfied Yan Wugui is with her. The little girl is short-sighted, she has nothing to say about her savvy, and she can draw inferences from one instance to another with a little tweaking. Reminiscent of her life experience, it is really exciting. In another ten or eight years, I don't know what the situation of Jiuyao Palace will be? He has learned this girl's temper in the past few days, she is tepid on the outside, but hard on the inside. Sooner or later, Fu Shangqing will have a big fall, which really makes people worry about the future of Jiuyao Palace.
Having said that, the Seven Truths Temple is not a good place either! It's been getting more and more difficult these past few years...
