If we say how many people in this world are worthy of Ye Hong's bow, they are definitely very few.
And the old man in front of him happened to be one of them.
Yes, he is Tao Ai.
That Ye Hong met in Crane City and helped him cure Tao Ai of [drug poison].
The respected old professor of Zhaoxing Academy and one of the members of the Committee of the Twelve Stars, Tao Ao caused a great chaos in the Immortal Sect in one fell swoop.
The Tao Ai who helped Ye Hong countless times and made Ye Hong respect him even more.
He deserves Ye Hong’s bow!
"Yes, your body seems to be getting stronger. You have been struggling a lot lately, right?"
Tao Ao looked at Ye Hong with a smile, his tone still as cordial as ever.
Looking at Tao Ai in front of him, Ye Hong also felt a warm current flowing through his heart.
In his heart, Tao Ai has always been a kind elder like a grandfather.
Although Tao Ai had lost contact with Ye Hong since he left the Immortal Realm, but after not seeing each other for a long time, the intimacy remained undiminished.
He responded with a concerned smile: "How is Mr. Tao's health lately?"
"After leaving that land of right and wrong, my health is much better."
Tao Ai had a relaxed smile like a retired man's face.
But when Ye Hong heard this, he suddenly fell into silence.
If it were a few months ago, he would never have made any association with such a simple sentence.
But after experiencing all kinds of things, he could easily appreciate the profound meaning of this sentence.
I still remember that when I first discovered that Tao Ai was a member of the Nixian Sect, Ye Hong was filled with shock and confusion.
At that time, he couldn't understand why Tao Ao gave up a glamorous professorship and switched to the dangerous organization of the Nixian Sect.
Until that day, he discovered the secret of the Nine Immortal Seals.
Until he saw Zuo Mie's true face clearly, until he was wanted by the Taiyi Immortal Sect's men and wanted to kill him.
Until he recalled that Tao Ai had said that the poison on his body was administered by Zuo Mie.
After experiencing all this, Ye Hong was finally able to understand why the Nixian Sect resisted Zuo Mie's rule.
I can finally understand why Tao Ao chose to join the Immortal Sect.
Tao Ao was still the same as before, his see-through eyes seemed to see through Ye Hong's thoughts.
Seeing Ye Hong's silence, he joked slightly: "As soon as I heard the news that you were being hunted by the Taiyi Immortal Sect all over the world, I knew that you kid had discovered the truth.
How about it, how does it feel to go against an Immortal Emperor? "
When Ye Hong heard this, he could only smile bitterly.
If not out of necessity, who would want to be an enemy with a terrifying guy like Zuo Mie
"Come, sit down and talk slowly."
Tao Ai greeted Ye Hong and sat next to him.
It was only after Ye Hong sat down that he noticed a detail.
He found that the positions of everyone at the scene seemed to have some kind of elegance.
Starting from Xue Ting Lei, to the You family siblings, and then to Miao Caifeng and Yuedao Xian.
The sequence of seats seemed to correspond to their positions in the Immortal Sect.
Xue Tinglei is a member of a foreign tribe. Although he is the prime minister of the Xue tribe, he is a peripheral member of Nixian Cult.
The You family siblings are the core disciples, their status is above Xue Tinglei, but below Miao Caifeng, who is in charge of them.
Above Miao Caifeng, there is the Moon Sword Immortal.
So does the position where Tao Ai is sitting mean that his status in Nixian Sect is higher than that of Yue Daoxian
Only then did Ye Hong realize that he seemed to have overlooked one thing.
No one has ever mentioned who the leader or leader of the Immortal Sect is.
Although Moon Sword Immortal should be the most powerful being in Nixian Sect, does the most powerful one have to be the leader of the organization
Combined with the order of seats where Yuedaoxian was ranked lower than Tao Ai, Ye Hong's heart suddenly moved.
Is Tao Ai the real person in charge of the Nixian Sect
Before Ye Hong could think deeply, his attention was attracted by the words in Tao Ao's mouth.
Tao Ao asked with a smile: "Since you have noticed many things, I won't waste too much time.
Let me ask you, how do you plan to respond to Zuo Mie and Taiyi Immortal Sect’s behavior towards you? "
Tao Ao's words really asked what was most bothering Ye Hong.
Of course he wanted to trample Zuo Mie under his feet, of course he wanted to reveal Zuo Mie's true face in front of everyone in the Immortal Realm, and of course he wanted to go back to the Immortal Realm openly and honestly.
However, Ye Hong himself also understood that these ideas were unrealistic.
Zuo Mie is like an unshakable mountain, standing majestically in the center of the fairyland.
His prestige, strength, and means are all far greater than Ye Hong's.
Therefore, even if Ye Hong tells the truth, Zuo Mie will still have a way to make people in the Immortal Realm not believe him.
And as long as Zuo Mie is still in the Immortal Realm, Ye Hong is destined to be unable to return to that land.
Although it is frustrating and helpless, this is indeed reality.
Therefore, facing Tao Ai's question, Ye Hong could only answer with a sigh.
However, Tao Ao patted Ye Hong on the shoulder comfortingly and said with a smile: "Actually, you are much smarter than me, at least you know how to avoid the edge first.
On the other hand, our Immortal Cult almost hit a brick with an egg. If you hadn't come to rescue us at that time, we might have been completely wiped out. "
Ye Hong shook his head and sighed again.
Although he accidentally saved the Nixian Sect at that time, it seems that the Nixian Sect can only hide outside the fairyland, and there is nothing they can do against Zuo Mie.
“So after the failed operation in Xiandu, I have completely figured it out.
If you want to defeat Zuo Mie, you must gather like-minded allies! "Tao Ai put away his smile and said seriously.
He glanced at Xue Tinglei, stroked his chin and beard and said: "So we are vigorously developing peripheral organizations and looking for all kinds of talents everywhere.
You know Feng Jialou, Qiu Ying, and my son Tao Shu. They are now working hard in various parts of the ancient world to help attract more members and allies. "
He looked at Ye Hong again and said with a serious expression: "And you, Ye Hong, are also an important ally that our Immortal Sect really wants to invite to join this operation!
What do you think? "
Tao Ao was talking about allies rather than members. He must have figured out Ye Hong's temperament long ago and knew that he liked freedom and would not join the Nixian Sect and be governed by others.
So he invited Ye Hong to form an alliance from the side.
But Ye Hong didn't agree immediately.
It was true that he wanted to deal with Zuo Mie, but at the same time, he did not fully understand the Nixian Sect.
If you make a hasty choice in this situation, you may become a knife or a chess piece used by others.
After all, Yue Daoxian's previous behavior of using him as bait still left him with an uncomfortable feeling.
So even though Ye Hong believed in Tao Ai, he didn't dare to completely believe in the Nixian Sect behind Tao Ao.
Tao Ai also seemed to understand what Ye Hong was concerned about. He shook his head and said with a smile: "It seems that I can't do it without revealing some exciting information to you."
