Chapter 437: Not an Accident
Xu Yi did not answer directly this time, but gave Zhan Fei a look.
Zhan Fei understood immediately, laughed, and led Xu Yi into the sect, followed closely by the two master uncles from the north and the south.
Wang Yang was about to follow, but found Chi Xiaoxi standing beside her blankly, seeming to be lost in thought, so he reached out and poked her gently, "Little junior sister, what are you thinking about?"
Chi Xiaoxi blinked slowly and said hesitantly: "That person just now was Senior Xu Yi?"
Wang Yang nodded, "Yes, don't you remember? It was Senior Xu who avenged our ancestors and helped us save the sacred tree."
"Ahhh! It's really her, it's really her!"
Chi Xiaoxi covered her mouth, screamed excitedly, and jumped up and down.
Wangyang immediately understood that Chi Xiaoxi had not recognized Xu Yi. He was so happy that he realized it now.
He was quite speechless, "Little junior sister, if you don't leave, they will go far away."
"Ah! Let's go quickly, senior brother, why are you lingering?"
This time it was Chi Xiaoxi who held Wang Yang's arm and strode forward until he caught up with the two masters from the north and south, then slowed down.
Chi Xiaoxi hid behind and quietly highlighted Xu Yi's profile, her heart pounding.
Senior Xu is still as good-looking as before.
She had to think about which variety of flowers in her medicine garden would be worthy of Senior Xu?
Xu Yi and Zhan Fei both had something to say to each other, so after Zhan Fei welcomed Xu Yi into the hall, he asked Wang Yang and Chi Xiaoxi to take Wen Yi and others away to rest.
Chi Xiaoxi was a little reluctant, but under the majestic gaze of the master, she still pursed her lips and left with her senior brother.
After only Zhan Fei, Xu Yi and Nan Bei were left in the main hall, Zhan Fei immediately activated the formation of the main hall to isolate himself from the outside.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, if you had something to say to me before, you might as well say it now."
Zhan Fei suppressed his inner anxiety and looked at Xu Yi with a friendly attitude.
Xu Yi shook his head, "What I want to say can be postponed for now. My exhibition leader must have something important to tell me, so why don't you invite me first."
Zhan Fei's look told her that this matter was very important, and Xu Yi didn't want to delay it.
Zhan Fei is not a timid person. Since Xu Yi said so, he did not postpone it anymore, but let out a long sigh.
"Fellow Daoist Xu must not know that there has been an undercurrent in Angzhou recently."
Xu Yi sat upright and said, "I would like to hear the details."
"I also discovered not long ago that Angzhou is extremely unstable. Several major sects not far from the Fire Talisman Sect have recently lost their elders, heads, etc., and the time is very close to each other. It does not seem like an accident."
The first two times that Sect Leader Zhan received the news from other sects, he didn't take it seriously, but until he received the third and fourth news, he had to face it seriously.
For this reason, he personally went to several major sects to express condolences in order to find out the cause of death of these monks.
"Every sect's theory is that the leader had an accident while practicing and unfortunately died. But this is too coincidental, and I really can't accept it.
Therefore, during this period of time, I strictly ordered the disciples of the sect not to go down the mountain without any reason, and I often met with the two elders from the north and the south, and did not dare to leave alone in case something unexpected happened."
Sect Leader Zhan was under a lot of pressure during this period, and he was quite agitated. After seeing Xu Yi's wooden boat, his first reaction was to summon the elders to jointly defend against the enemy.
Xu Yi suddenly realized.
No wonder she saw a few people staring at her as soon as she got off the boat, and they thought she was someone with evil intentions.
What Master Zhan said just now also disturbed Xu Yi's heartstrings.
After she pondered for a moment, she suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "Originally, I planned to listen to Master Zhan's words before explaining my intention. But now it seems that I have to say some things in advance."
When Zhan Fei heard the words, he was thoughtful.
Xu Yi continued: "It was by chance that I came here this time. I met Wen Yi on the road who was being chased by a fellow disciple, and I rescued him. Only then did I learn that Master Jingqiu had also died on the way to practice seven days ago, and is now in Mingyue Pavilion.
A group of dragons without a leader brings disaster."
"What! Master Jingqiu..." Zhan Fei's pupils shrank and his body couldn't help but lean back.
Xu Yi's news once again confirmed his previous guesses.
There must be something fishy about the deaths of those people.
The two master uncles from the north and the south looked at each other with solemn expressions.
The fallen elders and their masters’ cultivation levels are almost the same as them. Since the other party can die quietly, will they also encounter the same danger?
"And when I brought Wen Yi and others, I felt pity for her that she was like a rootless duckweed, drifting without support, so I wanted to ask Master Zhan if he would be willing to take them in.
Of course, the shelter I am talking about is to give them a place to stay. As for how to arrange it, it is entirely up to the head Zhan, Xu Yi will not interfere."
Xu Yijiang roughly described the circumstances of his encounter with Wen Yi and others to Zhan Fei, and also seemed to inadvertently praise the character of Wen Yi and others.
The Fire Talisman Sect is strict in recruiting disciples, and Xu Yi does not want to flaw the Fire Talisman Sect's inheritance because of himself.
"Of course there is no problem in taking them in, but whether they can join the Fire Talisman Sect depends on their own performance."
Zhan Fei didn't agree immediately. Although he liked Wen Yi, that happened many years ago.
Zhan Fei also has another worry in his mind. Jingqiu is moody and he is worried that he will teach Wen Yi badly.
So even Wen Yi, whom he had greatly praised before, now still needs to pass the assessment if Wen Yi wants to join the Fire Talisman Sect.
"That's natural."
Zhan Fei's answer made Xu Yi very happy.
She also didn't want Zhanfei to compromise for her own sake and it was best to act according to the rules.
After Wen Yi and others were properly arranged, Xu Yi brought the topic back to the death of Master Jingqiu.
"I was very surprised when I learned about the cause of death of Master Jingqiu from Wen Yi. Master Jingqiu had a violent temper, but she did not seem to be a person who was eager for quick success in cultivation. How could she make such a mistake? It is really illogical.
.
But because I had an old grudge with the other party, I didn’t ask in detail, so now that I think about it, there is indeed a problem.”
"Fellow Daoist Xu is right. Among the monks who died this time, some of them were old friends of mine. It's hard for me to believe that they would die while practicing." Master Zhan shook his head gently.
Zhan Fei is both afraid of death and not afraid of death.
The reason he is not afraid of death is because he is born casually and feels that if the time comes for him to die, he should not force it.
And he was afraid of death because he was worried that without him as the leader of the Fire Talisman Sect, no one would be able to take charge.
Therefore, his mood was particularly unstable during this period.
Xu Yi frowned, it seemed that his plan to return to Xuanjimen would have to be delayed for some time.
At this juncture, many high-ranking monks died one after another. Xu Yi was worried that it was related to the demons, and she was determined to stay and investigate the matter clearly.
She raised her eyes and looked at Zhan Fei, "Master Zhan, there must be something fishy behind this matter. I would like to invite you to go to those sects with me. I want to go to the scene to investigate for myself."
Zhan Fei was surprised at first, and then overjoyed.
This was a good thing he could only ask for.
"That's so good! So good! I'm willing to go with you!"
