Everyone understands the truth.
Gu Qingfeng knew what Huo De was worried about.
Just knowing is knowing, knowing is knowing.
Understanding does not mean he will endure.
Knowing doesn't mean he will restrain himself.
A person's temper may gradually converge with the precipitation of time and the increase of experience, but a person's character will never change, no matter whether you have practiced for a hundred years or a thousand years, no matter how many times you have experienced Things, nature never change.
What's more, what Gu Qingfeng cultivated was a free heart.
His mood, good or bad, determines his attitude.
As the saying goes, character determines destiny, what kind of person Gu Qingfeng is, he doesn't need to say it himself, Huode knows it very well, otherwise he wouldn't rush back in a hurry.
Xu was afraid that Gu Qingfeng would be unhappy, so Huode didn't complain or scold him anymore, but pretended to be his third grandson, but he pretended to be a grandson, but Gu Qingfeng didn't bother to pretend to be an uncle, patted his butt, and went back to sleep It's gone, leaving only Huo De depressed there.
But soon, something even more depressing happened to him. The Li family rushed in mightily, angrily wanting him to hand over Gu Qingfeng.
Many of the Li family hold important positions in the Yunxia sect, and the Li family is a big family in the Qingyang area. Many people in the sect are usually flattering. Most importantly, almost everyone knows the Li family and Elder Jinde. Good relationship.
Now Li Ziheng was severely injured by a disciple, and all his cultivation was broken, not to mention cultivation, whether he can wake up in the future is a problem, the Li family was naturally very angry, and brought a large group of people to demand him.
However, it is useless.
Old man Huo De was sitting in Lingyin Garden drinking a little wine, no matter how noisy the Li family was, he would just say a few words and would not hand over.
You say that I rely on my status as the Great Elder, it's okay to ignore the rules of the sect, and it's okay to say that I protect the disciples, if you don't hand over, you just don't hand over.
Although the Li family is a big family in Qingyang, facing Huo De's arrogance, there is nothing they can do.
Although Huo De has cultivated for seven or eight hundred years, he has no family background, no background, and no power if he wants to. Apart from being a great elder in Yunxia Sect, he seems to have no real power.
However, there is one thing about Huo De that other people can't match, which is why the Li family dare not touch him.
That is Huo De's network.
The old man has a lot of friends, and there are all kinds of religions and streams. From the elders of the great sect to the small merchants, there is no one he doesn't know. In addition, the old man has been in Qingyang for seven or eight hundred years, so he dare not say that he is friends everywhere. But it was absolutely the same, as soon as the old man said hello, at least half of the old guys with names and surnames in Qingyang could come.
If the old man asked them to join the Yunxia faction, these people might not be able to join due to various reasons, but if the old man said that he was being bullied, these friends would definitely kill him immediately.
To be honest, the Yunxia faction was able to survive the catastrophe of the heavens, thanks to the fact that the old man has many friends and contacts.
Therefore, no matter how angry the Li family is, no matter how angry they are, if they want to get angry, they have to carefully weigh the consequences.
Later, the Li family was overwhelmed, so they invited Elder Jin De and Mu De over, but it was still useless.
If you don't pay, you don't pay.
No one can come.
After a stalemate like this for more than one or two hours, the Li family could only leave angrily.
In the evening, a rare guest came to Lingyin Garden, at least that's what Huode thought.
The person who came was none other than his senior brother, Elder Rende.
The reason why Huo De said he was a rare visitor was because Elder Ren De seldom came to Houshan to look for him. The last time he came was more than ten years ago.
The two are brothers, but their relationship is not very good, it can't be said to be bad, but it can't be said to be good either.
In the eyes of Ren De, Huo De is an old and unscrupulous guy, and also an extremely irresponsible elder. In the past, he seldom stayed in the sect, and occasionally stayed in the sect for a few days a year, and then went out , has never managed any affairs of the sect, so he has never been used to Huode.
In the eyes of Ren De, Huo De is like this.
In Huo De's eyes, Ren De is a pedantic and ignorant old stubborn who doesn't care about human feelings, only knows how to break the old rules, and doesn't know how to adapt at all.
In Huo De's words, the two of them couldn't urinate in the same pot since they were young, and they didn't have much in common.
Now that Rende came to Houshan Lingyin Garden for the first time, Huo De couldn't help but sarcasm a few words, but what he didn't expect was that Rende just smiled and didn't have much reaction.
This surprised Huo De a lot. In his impression, Ren De couldn't take a joke. Every time he made a joke, Ren De would look very serious. What's going on today...
What Huo De didn't expect was that Ren De not only greeted him with a smile, but also said to find a quiet place to catch up.
At this moment, Huo De was completely stunned, he didn't understand what kind of medicine Ren De sold in this gourd.
Of course, Huo De did not refuse, even though he was very unhappy with Ren De, but he was not happy with it. One thing he had to admit was that Ren De had been managing the sect for so many years since the head retreated, and he He also knew in his heart that if Ren De was not in charge of the overall situation, Jin De and Shui De would have assigned Yunxia to divide up.
Huo De knew that Ren De didn't drink alcohol, so he didn't prepare anything, but just found a quiet place to listen to what he had to say.
As soon as Rende sat down, he really started to reminisce about the old things between their seniors and brothers. When talking about the catastrophe of the heavens, Rende sighed: "If it weren't for you, junior brother... our Yunxia Even Pai couldn't hold on..."
"Well, don't put a high hat on us, you can't bear it, I said brother, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"After the catastrophe, the sect master brother retreated for nearly a hundred years. Although I have been in charge of the Yunxia sect all these years, but... hehe."
Ren De never drank alcohol, but this time he poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and said with some helplessness: "Junior Brother Jin De has been wooing some families secretly, and has supported many people in the inner and outer sects. , I know that he has been peeping at the head of the sect, and Junior Brother Shui De, I also know that there is the Jiuhua Alliance behind him, as for Junior Brother Mu De, let alone talk about it, he has already worn the same pair of pants with Jin De."
Huode didn't respond, but just listened silently, wondering what Rende wanted to say.
"Senior Brother Sect Master has been in seclusion all the time. We all know that he's afraid... he won't be able to get past this hurdle. I can guess that Jin De and Shui De must also know that the two of them have been cultivating disciples all these years, waiting for the opportunity Competing for the position of master reserve."
Huo De pondered for a moment, then said: "Brother, if you have anything to say, just speak up, and don't go around the bush."
"Okay, junior brother, let me ask you a question, did you find Gu Qingfeng to compete for the position of the master?"
Um
Rende let out a small gasp in his heart, and didn't respond in time. Instead, he looked at Rende, pondered for a while, and then said, "So what if it is, so what if it's not."
"If my guess is right, it should be." Elder Rende looked serious and serious, but Huo De wanted to speak, but was interrupted by him.
"Gu Qingfeng is not an ordinary person. Even though I don't know who he is, I knew he was not an ordinary person when I first saw him in the inner sect examination. He didn't have the vigor of a young man. Not impetuous, speech and behavior seem to be frivolous and exaggerated, but in fact it is a kind of casual and free and easy."
"Is it because you think too much?" Huode smiled sarcastically, but there was a murmur in his heart.
"Junior brother, don't misunderstand me. I don't ask you who Gu Qingfeng is, nor his identity. I believe that since you have come to him, you must be trustworthy. I just want to know if he has the strength to compete for the position of the master. This question is important to me."
"Oh? How to say?"
"If yes, I will help you."
Ren De's words were really beyond Huo De's expectation, because in his impression, Ren De is a complete neutral faction. Although he did not join forces with Jin De and Shui De, he would not stop him. He doesn't care about being the head of the Yunxia Sect, as long as the Yunxia Sect can be passed on.
"I was wrong in the past. I always thought that as long as the Yunxia faction can be passed on, anyone can be the head... But as Jin De and Shui De have been fighting openly and secretly, I have gradually discovered their selfishness... If the Yunxia faction in the future If it really falls into the hands of the two of them, I'm afraid... So, I just want to ask about this matter this time, whether Gu Qingfeng has the strength to compete for the position of master reserve."
"If so..."
"If there is, I will resist the pressure and arrange for him to be promoted to the direct disciple of the Nine Palaces as soon as possible..."
