"Senior Zheng, this is my master, the head of Xingxiu Hai, the Poison Queen Wen Ziyan." Su Yao introduced the woman in front of Zheng Yi in a soft voice.
Zheng Yi was really surprised when he saw this woman.
Although it is wrong to judge people by their appearance, as the head of a sect, she should look like a strong woman, right?
But the Poison Queen Wen Ziyan in front of her looked like a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, with a little baby fat on her face, and she was very naive and innocent.
If you ignore the sophistication in her eyes and just look at her appearance.
I'm afraid no one would have thought that this soft-looking girl was actually the head of a sect that controlled the life and death of thousands of monks.
And you can tell from the other person's nickname that this woman is definitely not a simple person.
There are only wrong names in this world, but there are no wrong nicknames.
"Senior!" Zheng Yi said politely, neither humble nor overbearing.
After Zheng Yi met Wen Ziyan, Lin Feng also jumped out eagerly: "Senior Zheng, this is my master, Baihong Swordsman Zhou Yan, the elder of our Wuzhuang Mountain Sword Holding Hall."
After the introduction, he quickly said to his master: "Master, this is the senior Zheng I am talking about."
"He took three of us monks in the foundation building stage and killed all the pursuers. He even escaped from the hands of Demon Lord Huiyue."
"If it weren't for Senior Zheng, this disciple would never see you again."
In his excitement, Lin Feng obviously didn't see his master's face getting darker and darker.
"That's enough!" Seeing Lin Feng getting more and more excited as he talked, and starting to explain one by one how they escaped and how they used various arrangements to attack and kill the Nether Spirit Clan monks, Zhou Yan couldn't bear it and shouted harshly.
"How many times have I told you that we at Wuzhuangshan are righteous monks and follow an upright path."
"It doesn't matter if your cultivation is not as good as others. If you die in battle in a dignified manner, it has not insulted the reputation of our Wuzhuang Mountain."
"Remember, as a disciple of Wuzhuang Mountain, you must not follow those evil ways. If you can't defeat the enemy, you will use conspiracy and tricks, and you will use all possible means."
"Such a despicable person, even if he is allowed to take advantage for a while, sooner or later he will suffer a loss and be fooled."
The White Rainbow Swordsman seemed to be scolding his apprentice.
But as long as you are not stupid, you will definitely be able to hear that this person is basically criticizing Sang and Huai, which means Zheng Yi.
This person looked down on him, and Zheng Yi didn't have the habit of being hot-faced and cold-blooded.
He immediately lowered his fist-clasping hand and watched with interest as the other party sprayed his apprentice.
It was as if he didn't even notice that the other party was mocking him.
Zheng Yi shouldn't have experienced this kind of thing too much, right?
As an emperor, no matter what you do, some people may benefit and others may suffer.
Those who benefit may not think that his emperor is so wise and powerful.
But people whose interests have been harmed will never sound nice.
Instructing those officials and censors to criticize Sang and Huai in the court is nothing new.
If you can't bear even a few words, don't be the emperor at all.
At the beginning, it would be false to say that Zheng Yi was not angry, but after seeing the eloquent eloquence of those officials and censor Bo Zheng, he actually found it quite interesting.
Sometimes, even though their buttocks are crooked, what they say makes sense.
I'm afraid this is why, in his original world, many emperors were obviously disgraced by the officials and censors, but since the emergence of such officials, no one in the long dynasty of the country would prohibit them from speaking.
Compared with those people, this White Rainbow Swordsman's ability to increase his value is not even considered to be an entry level one.
In the end, Wen Ziyan remained silent and observed Zheng Yi's performance in silence.
The more I look at it, the more surprised I am.
As a sect with a large number of female cultivators, she has seen many more male cultivators than sect disciples.
In order to receive visiting monks, the inn he built in front of the mountain gate even developed into the size of a small town.
Most of the male monks were like aggressive roosters, desperately displaying their feathers to prove to the female monks how powerful they were.
Not to mention criticizing each other in front of someone, even a small friction could turn into a duel.
It would be fine if it was a duel with a huge disparity in strength, but if it was evenly matched, it would most likely involve dozens or hundreds of people in a short period of time.
Every elder who was rotated to deal with those matters would complain to him.
It's not enough to just leave them alone. Those are all disciples of the same sect. If something happens, the consequences will be troublesome.
The guy named Zheng Yi in front of him was different.
Wen Ziyan could tell that Zheng Yi was really young.
But compared to monks of the same age, he was so calm that it was scary.
However, Zheng Yi is not naturally timid.
He dared to lead a few monks in the foundation building stage to ambush the pursuers who were more than ten times their number.
It is an existence that can use its cultivation in the crystallization stage to confront the golden elixir and the monks in the enlightenment stage.
He even used himself as bait to trap monks who had passed the golden elixir stage to death.
If a young man's calmness is already a great quality, then it is even more commendable for Zheng Yi to have such an ability and still be able to tolerate the other party's malicious insults without being frightened.
Wen Ziyan nodded slightly towards her apprentice, telling Su Yao that this person is good and qualified to join our Xingxiu Sea.
Seeing the master's statement, Su Yao's happy eyes seemed to melt people.
Seeing that Zhou Yan said it was time for tea but still had no intention of stopping, Bai Zhirui couldn't listen anymore.
The master is in front. Originally, she should not interrupt at will when the elders are talking.
But after waiting for a long time, Zheng Yi didn't respond.
"You said enough..."
Just as Bai Zhirui opened her mouth, she was stopped by Zheng Yi.
Zhou Yan snorted coldly: "Zheng Yi, take care of your disciples. You dare to interrupt at will when the elders are talking. There are really no rules."
Zheng Yi didn't say anything and just said to Lin Feng: "Boy, do you remember everything your master said?"
"How well you say it, you must take the right path, and you must be upright when facing the enemy."
"Even when you want to save someone, and you find that you are not the opponent of the perpetrator, in the worst case, just let him kill you."
"Anyway, you can die like a man and die gloriously. As for what happens after death, what does it have to do with you, right?"
He was obviously following the words of White Rainbow Swordsman Zhou Yan, but something didn't sound right.
Zhou Yan's face turned red with anger: "I..."
Zheng Yi interrupted him solemnly: "The words of the seniors are enlightening to the younger generation. Yes, you must follow the right path as a person. You must not be like some people and know how to use unscrupulous methods."
"Even if it can save people, it's of no use. The fundamentals are wrong. No matter how right you are, it's still wrong."
"The younger generation must follow the teachings of the elders and be a righteous person."
Zhou Yan's chest rose and fell rapidly, and her lungs were about to explode from Zheng Yi's retort, but she couldn't get any air out.
"I'm not..." He wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start.
Could it be said that as monks, they should ignore death?
Or, if you find someone who is not a violent opponent while rescuing someone, just turn around and run away?
Or, how to save people in some other way? But he just said that no matter what happens, he must be upright.
If Zheng Yi were in his position, he would naturally be able to find many angles to argue.
But Zhou Yan couldn't. Any sophistry explanation was refuting his own words.
"Master, are you okay?" Lin Feng quickly handed his master a cup of tea.
On the surface, he looked distressed, but in fact, he couldn't bear to smile until his face hurt.
His master had always been like this, always keeping the word upright on his lips.
It's as if it would be embarrassing to use any other means when fighting the enemy.
Although Lin Feng did not agree with some of his words, he was still greatly influenced by his master.
Otherwise, he would not have offered to sacrifice himself several times to cover the escape of fellow Taoists when he was in a critical moment.
However, after experiencing all this with Bai Zhirui, Lin Feng's thoughts have changed dramatically.
Bai Zhirui's master, with all the "conspiracies" they created.
Not only did they get out of danger, but they also eliminated many enemies.
Isn't this much more satisfying than fighting to the death with an iron head?
Of course, Lin Feng still respected his master very much. However, this did not prevent him from happily watching his master collapse in front of Senior Zheng.
After drinking a cup of tea, Zhou Yan calmed down a lot.
Just looking at Zheng Yi, he looked as if he wanted to eat someone.
Zheng Yi had an innocent look on his face, pretending to be humble and teachable.
Zhou Yan was so angry that she had nowhere to vent her anger.
He opened his mouth for a long time, but said nothing.
He left only one sentence: "Rotten wood cannot be carved." He walked away with a puff of sleeves.
Lin Feng raised his fist towards Zheng Yi and mouthed: "Senior Zheng, I'm sorry." He followed Zhou Yan out.
After going out, you can still hear Zhou Yan's voice: "Why are you following me? Go find your senior Zheng."
It's obvious that he hasn't calmed down yet.
It wasn't until Zhou Yan had left for a long time that the women in the room burst out with laughter like silver bells.
Bai Zhirui was like a man, smiling openly and giving a thumbs up to Zheng Yi: "Master, you are so awesome. I was wondering if that old guy could be pissed to death by you."
Zheng Yi glared at her: "That's your senior, don't talk nonsense."
Bai Zhirui was not afraid either: "What's wrong with senior? Even if his cultivation level is higher, he wouldn't be able to curse people in a weird way when they meet, right?"
"We are not disciples of Wuzhuang Mountain, why should he reprimand us?"
Su Yao immediately echoed: "Sister Bai is right."
"Besides, the situation at that time was so dangerous. Should we just follow his instructions and fight to the death with those guys from the Nether Spirit Tribe?"
"You would be really stupid to do that... Ouch."
Wen Ziyan tapped Su Yao's head lightly: "You girl have been spoiled by me, even your elders dare to arrange it."
"Although Zhou Zhijian has a rigid personality and doesn't know how to adapt, he is not a bad person."
"Next time I hear you talking nonsense, don't blame me for enforcing the sect rules."
Su Yao was startled and waved her hands quickly: "Master, this disciple will never dare to do it again."
His pitiful eyes kept drifting in the direction of Bai Zhirui, as if he was telling her: "Have you seen Sister Bai? I was almost punished by the master's rules for helping you."
Wen Ziyan looked serious: "You guys go down first, I have something to tell Zheng Yi alone."
As if she was afraid that Wen Ziyan would regret it, Su Yao hurried over and took Bai Zhirui's hand: "Sister Bai, let's go out first."
Bai Zhirui struggled desperately: "Let go of my hand first."
"Sister Bai, I heard from Taoist friends at the Immortal Temple before that they have three major immortal sceneries here. Can we go and see them together?" Su Yao said enthusiastically.
"Okay, keep your distance from me."
"I told you not to post it! We are all women, what will we think if we are seen..."
The two of them just left the room, having a rough time.
Wen Ziyan's eyes were filled with water: "Mr. Zheng Yi, I have heard about you for a long time. During this time, I have heard Su Yao talk about you a lot."
"If she hadn't told me that she already has a sweetheart, I would have suspected that the person she likes is you."
Zheng Yi smiled and shook his head: "I think it would be better for Senior Wen to pay more attention to his apprentices."
Wen Ziyan covered her lips and smiled softly: "Mr. Zheng is talking about Su Yao's liking for your disciple, right?"
"Don't worry about this. This is not a problem in our Xingxiu Sea."
"Perhaps this seems a bit rebellious to my husband. But I think there is no difference between liking a woman and liking a man."
"This cannot be a hindrance to love."
Zheng Yi smiled and said nothing. Wen Ziyan was indeed very open-minded, but compared with the world before he traveled, it was still nothing.
Have you ever heard of fifty-six genders? Don’t you know how to play?
"I don't completely agree with what senior said, but I won't interfere with what others think." Zheng Yi said with a smile.
Wen Ziyan was a little surprised. She had told many monks about this problem.
Those monks either firmly opposed it or even pointed at her nose and scolded her for being shameless.
Even though he didn't say anything on the surface, the disgust in his eyes couldn't be hidden from her at all.
As for Zheng Yi, although he disagreed, he really didn't seem to dislike her opinion.
From the moment they met until now, this man always brings surprises to her.
I want this man more and more.
Wen Ziyan licked her lips subconsciously: "Mr. Zheng, wise people don't speak secretly."
"I came here today. In addition to taking back my disciples, I also have another purpose. I invite you to join us in Xingxiu Sea."
"Well..." Zheng Yi was in a difficult position: "Senior is so kind, and I am deeply grateful. However, this matter is related to my future cultivation. Please forgive me for not being able to agree to it now."
Wen Ziyan narrowed her eyes when she heard this, and Zheng Yi suddenly felt an inexplicable danger, as if he had been seen through by the other party.
As an emperor, Zheng Yi will naturally not be easily intimidated by the opponent.
Don't say it's impossible for the other party to truly see through his true colors.
Even if you can see through it, you must not show any hint of guilt on the surface.
Seeing Zheng Yi's expression as usual, Wen Ziyan secretly appreciated it.
"Mr. Zheng, although I don't know the reason, I can be sure that you have already chosen our Xingxiu Sea for a long time."
"I can show my sincerity first. Mr. Zheng can use all the skills, elixirs and cultivation resources below the golden elixir stage at will."
"In addition, what do you think of providing an additional elixir for breaking through the golden elixir stage?" (End of Chapter)
