Feeling upset, Ning Yu didn't explode on the spot.
Because Senior Brother Qiao is not a disciple of Banshantang, his master's surname is Cui, and he started his career earlier than Master Hu, and he is considered a high-ranking elder in the sect. Brother Qiao came here at this time, presumably he would not come here to visit the door for nothing. The two didn't have much friendship in the past, so he didn't want to come to Banshantang specially when it was raining.
When getting along with the same family, you have to weigh the pros and cons, and care about favors. In fact, Tianji Mountain has never had a lot of intrigues. Although Ning Yu doesn't have much contact with people because of his illness, he can't fail to understand the reason for this.
Together with Men Banshantang, other senior brothers still hate and exclude him openly and secretly, let alone others
But Ning Yu didn't guess right this time.
He felt that Brother Qiao must have something to do when he came here, maybe Cui Zhenren had some errands. But after sitting down, serving tea, and saying a few polite words, Brother Qiao didn't get to the point, but instead brought up Xiaodong who had just left.
"The young man who left just now is quite unfamiliar, presumably he is the guest invited by Mr. Hu?"
Ning Yu already felt impatient: "Exactly, that is the direct disciple of Master Li in Huiliu Mountain."
"Oh, Master Li heard that there are four direct disciples... Judging by his age, he should be the last one, right? But his surname is Chen?"
Ning Yu shook her head: "No, Senior Brother Qiao may have made a mistake."
He didn't want to say more about it.
And it's not easy to say much.
Li Zhenren actually had five personal disciples, but because the time to accept Xiaodong was short, others didn't know, and only thought it was four. But it turned out that Chen Jingzhi was the one who did the fourth act. This person betrayed his teacher and fled privately. No matter which sect it was placed in, it would be a big scandal. The pro-disciple actually betrayed his teacher and fled privately, and the reputation of Huiliu Mountain was discredited when it was spread out.
Although Huiliu Mountain didn't have much reputation at first, but now Li Zhenren's master and apprentice are visiting Tianji Mountain, Ning Yu should protect their face.
Senior Brother Qiao was a little surprised: "Maybe I misremembered. Why did their sect come to Tianji Mountain as a guest? Their own sect ignored it?"
Seeing that he was inquiring about Huiliushan inside and out, Ning Yu became more vigilant and only answered one of the three questions, refusing to tell him the truth. Senior brother Qiao sat for a while, seeing that he couldn't ask anything, he had no choice but to leave in resentment.
Ning Yu sat in the room in a daze for a while, wondering why Senior Brother Qiao was so interested in Huiliu Mountain.
Seeing him being so arrogant and indifferent to Xiaodong when he came in, it's not like that.
Could it be what Cui Zhenren meant
Thinking of this, Ning Yu couldn't sit still, so he decided to go to Jingxin Zhai to find his master and discuss this matter with him.
If Cui Zhenren has any plans, it is better to discuss a countermeasure. Huiliushan Li Zhenren and his party are Master's guests. Since they live in Banshan Hall, Banshan Hall cannot allow people to be counted on their own territory.
Besides, although Huiliu Mountain's reputation is not obvious, Ning Yu is different from those of the same sect. Many people in Tianji Mountain watch the sky from a well, and Yelang is arrogant, always thinking that the word Tianji Mountain is as powerful as it is said, and those who usually come to seek divination and advice will praise it ignorantly. Li Zhenren's swordsmanship is not ordinary, just because he looks good-tempered, it doesn't mean that he is really a soft persimmon, whoever wants to pinch can pinch. If someone really wanted to take advantage of the fire in Tianji Mountain and rob him, he would probably make himself ashamed.
When Ning Yu arrived outside the master's courtyard, the disciples guarding the gate saw him coming and hurriedly saluted him.
"Why is Senior Brother Ning here at this time?"
"I came to see Master for business, is Master in the house now?"
The disciple showed a bit of embarrassment: "The master is here, and Li Zhenren and his big apprentice are also in the room. But the master confessed, because the matter is important, no one will be seen at this time..."
Ning Yu was silent for a moment.
Ning Yu knew more about what the master and Li Zhenren were studying, than the two disciples who guarded the gate.
If it wasn't for the fact that he fell ill again a few days ago and was only able to get up these few days, he should have followed Master to help.
But his body was not up to par, and the master was afraid that he would not be able to bear the strain, so he asked him to stay behind closed doors for a few days to recuperate.
From childhood to adulthood, Ning Yu didn't know how many times when he was ill, he was so painful that he wanted to die, but it was his master who pulled him back. During the long nights when he couldn't sleep because of his illness, he also hated the injustice of heaven countless times. He thought that his talent was no worse than any of his fellow disciples on the mountain. Why was he trapped in such a sick body, making his way forward extremely difficult? , so that his ambition can only become a fantasy. If it wasn't for this illness, he would be able to roam the three mountains and five mountains, travel all over the world, explore the way of heaven, and seek longevity like other people. But he was trapped by this illness, like a bird whose wings have been broken, flying can only become a fantasy.
"Brother, if something is urgent... Shall I go in and let you know?"
That disciple didn't want to offend Ning Yu either, seeing him standing silently, he felt a little flustered.
Master's favorite disciple is Senior Brother Ning in front of him. Although he may not be in charge of the Banshan Hall in the future because of his weak health, but everyone has seen his preference for him.
Although the master said that no one should disturb him, but if it was Brother Ning's matter, the master would not blame him for his sake.
Ning Yu shook her head: "No need. Since Master has business to do, it will be the same if I come back at night."
The disciple also breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Senior Brother Ning didn't insist on it himself, he would of course be more happy to save trouble.
"Then brother, let's go."
***********
Xiaodong went back with a bagful of wild fruits, a little absent-minded, and when he entered the house, he found that one of the wild fruits was overripe and his scalp was torn, and the purple juice stained his clothes.
Xiaodong had no choice but to take off his clothes and bring water to scrub.
This is the clothes that the elder brother gave him, he should be more careful just now, the color may not be washed off if it is stained. If you rub it hard, you are afraid of hurting your clothes. If you rub it lightly, you will not be able to wash off the stained color. After the purple was soaked in water, it turned into blue inexplicably, and the blue gradually turned into light ink, which was also much lighter than before, but it just couldn't be washed off.
Xiaodong wrung out the clothes and hung them under the eaves. The raindrops outside were dripping, and the clothes on the porch were also dripping, dripping, dripping, and it seemed that the dripping would never end.
Now even Xiaodong felt that the rain was a bit unusual.
He only came to Huiliu Mountain at this time last year, and because of the pain of bereavement, he was in a daze, and he didn't care much about things outside the matter. As for the things like rain a few times, he didn't take it to heart at all. It was blank, and I couldn't remember what I did every day at that time.
Such a wasted time, now Xiaodong feels very blush when he thinks about it.
However, it should not have rained for so many days in a row at that time.
He has been in Tianji Mountain for the past few days, and he also has some understanding of the style of this sect. Because of the continuous rain, almost everyone on the mountain felt strange. When Xiaodong came back just now, he saw a man walking around by the stone bridge outside the Banshan Hall, holding a compass in his hand, and muttering something. Ci, it seems that he is thinking about the direction of the gossip, his body is soaked by the rain and he has no time to take care of it. Xiaodong passed by him, but he didn't notice it, and ignored him.
But his ignorance is not the same as the ignorance of Brother Qiao just now.
One is devoted wholeheartedly to something and completely ignores external objects, the other is arrogant and disdainful, Xiaodong understands the difference.
I hope Master can find a way to complete and correct the formation sooner, so that they can go back to their place as soon as possible. In other people's places, I can't even sleep soundly. Xiaodong always wakes up very early these days, he will wake up before the fourth watch, and then he can't sleep well.
The door had no latch, it was only ajar, and was pushed open from the outside.
Xiaodong was a little surprised when he heard the door knock, and stood up defensively.
He had seen this person before.
It was Huang Wan who had been here with Ning Yu that day.
Brother Ning later explained it for her.
She is interested in big brother
Xiaodong saluted politely and said hello, then asked: "Is Senior Sister Huang coming here at this time?"
Huang Wan glanced inside and outside the door, and already saw that only Xiaodong was there.
She couldn't hide her disappointment in her heart, but there was no flaw on her face, and she still looked indifferent and reserved.
But she never imagined that Ning Yu had already figured out her background, and the young man on the opposite side had already guessed about her intentions.
Even if Ning Yu didn't explain later, the heavy gift she made that day had already leaked her thoughts.
"Brother Mo is not here?"
Xiaodong didn't dare to look at the woman across from him carefully, it would be too impolite. He thinks he is not a child anymore, and he has to pay attention to avoiding men and women.
"Senior Brother and Master went to Master Hu."
"Oh..." Huang Wan was a little disappointed.
She couldn't find someone to go to Huang Zhenren.
But after thinking about it, this is also an opportunity.
Huang Wan reached out and took out the gift that was not sent that day, and put it on the table in front of him.
"Since senior brother Mo is not here, it's the same for you to accept it for him." Huang Wan originally wanted to say a few more words, but when she came that day, she was all focused on Mo Chen. Yu introduced it, but she didn't listen to it at all, and now she can't remember it.
Xiaodong was a little surprised, and quickly picked up the bag: "Senior Brother is not here, I can't decide to accept this, Senior Sister Huang, please take it back."
Just kidding, this girl obviously likes senior brother, and senior brother doesn't accept her gift, the meaning of this can be understood even if Xiaodong is not very old.
If you don't accept it, you just don't accept her intention.
But this girl is really indomitable, she failed to send it once, but she came again. Xiaodong can't accept this thing from her, otherwise senior brother won't be able to explain clearly later on, wouldn't it be him causing big trouble for senior brother
Huang Wan never cared about his refusal.
Anyway, she left things behind, so even if Mo Chen wanted to refuse again, he had to come and see her.
In this way... wouldn't there be a chance to meet each other? (to be continued)
