2133. Chapter 2133 The situation worsens
Although Lin Zhong only said a short sentence, Gu Weinan was greatly touched.
Who would be willing to humble himself unless absolutely necessary?
If you don’t become a householder, you don’t know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive.
Over the years, the Guanghan Sect has been caught between a number of behemoths, walking on thin ice as if facing an abyss, for fear of being oppressed or annexed by other hidden sects.
From the moment he became the head of the Guanghan Sect, Gu Weinan developed a cautious character.
She tried her best to protect the interests of the sect without offending anyone.
The Guanghan Sect, which had just rebuilt from the civil strife, could not afford to be destroyed again.
Therefore, in the face of various disputes in the martial arts world, the Guanghan Sect has always been very low-key and tolerant, adhering to the principle of neutrality and never expressing its attitude easily.
Even if I have to take a stand, I usually just go with the crowd.
The only exception was when he voted for Lin Chong at the Yanhuang Martial Arts Conference.
In fact, the Guanghan faction originally planned to abstain, but later received a secret order from Meng Qingqiu, asking them to side with Lin Zhong unequivocally.
To be honest, Gu Weinan didn't understand Meng Qingqiu's order at all.
How could a young man with no family, no sect, no power, defeat Zhenwu Sect, Tianlong Sect and Yaori Sect and become the master of the Yanhuang Martial Alliance?
Is it worth it to vote for the other party at the risk of offending three major hidden sects at the same time?
Although he didn't understand, Gu Weinan still silently followed Meng Qingqiu's instructions.
No resistance, no complaints.
Because Gu Weinan knew very well that she was just the housekeeper of the Guanghan Sect, and Meng Qingqiu was the real backbone of the Guanghan Sect.
It was precisely because of the precious vote of the Guanghan faction that Lin Zhong was able to stand alongside Wang Mu and Zhao Chenglong and get the opportunity to prove himself.
When he heard from Huo Lengmei that Lin Zhong defeated four great Danjin masters, including Wang Hongfu, Zhao Chenglong, Wang Mu, and Xu Jing, one against four, Gu Weinan was shocked.
Lin Zhong, who had never met before, became very interested.
After that, Gu Weinan began to secretly pay attention to news related to Lin Zhong.
The more she understood Lin Chong's deeds, the more in awe she felt towards him.
She was even more impressed by Meng Qingqiu's vision.
But now, the person she once thought was out of reach was standing in front of her, comforting her with gentle and calm words, it was like a dream.
"thank you."
Gu Weinan lowered his head and wiped the corners of his eyes, stood up, walked to Lin Zhong and sat down next to him.
She did not sit across from Lin Zhong because her and Lin Zhong's status and strength were not equal.
Lin Zhong picked up another piece of mutton and chewed it slowly.
Due to geographical location and customs, the majority of meat in the northwest province is beef and mutton, followed by horse meat and donkey meat, and there is basically no fish or seafood.
The chef in charge of the kitchen was very good at cooking, and the dishes he prepared were quite suitable for Lin Chong's taste.
Eat without talking, sleep without talking.
Lin Chong was focused on satisfying his appetite.
Although he ate very slowly, his stomach was like a bottomless pit, as if it couldn't be filled at all.
Gu Weinan sat quietly aside, constantly helping Lin Zhong add dishes and pour wine. He would occasionally take a bite, and if any dish got cold, he would take it back to the kitchen to reheat it.
Lin Zhong used to be a teetotaler and strict with himself, but after becoming a Grand Master, his personality changed slightly and he began to act casually and enjoy life.
The wine in the northwest province was truly outstanding, and with Gu Weinan's frequent urgings to drink, Lin Zhong inevitably drank too much.
Of course, it's impossible to get drunk, let alone have sex while drunk.
Gu Weinan also drank a lot.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, two blushes appeared on her snow-white cheeks, and her already beautiful face became more radiant and beautiful.
Perhaps because he was drunk and emboldened, Gu Weinan was no longer as cautious and restrained as before. He relaxed a little and finally dared to look Lin Zhong in the eye.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the food has passed the five flavors.
Seeing that Lin Zhong had almost eaten, Gu Weinan's beautiful eyes flashed slightly and he took the initiative to break the silence: "Supreme Elder, can I ask you a question?"
"Um."
Lin Zhong put down his bowl and chopsticks and turned to look at Gu Weinan. He had already figured out the latter's temper, so he spoke very casually: "The title of Supreme Elder is too formal. You can just call me by my name in private."
Of course Gu Weinan didn't dare.
Even if Lin Zhong didn't care, she still had to consider the negative impact.
She has seen too many moody superpowers. One moment they are smiling and laughing, the next moment they are thundering and angry, and they fall out of favor even faster than turning the page of a book.
Maybe Lin Zhong wasn't that kind of person, but Gu Weinan didn't dare to take risks.
"Shall I call you Your Excellency?" Gu Weinan asked tentatively.
"Alright."
Lin Zhong naturally didn't care.
"Your Excellency, have you heard about the recent disputes in the martial arts circles in the eastern provinces?" Gu Weinan asked softly after observing his words.
"Are you referring to the battle between Zhenwu Sect, Yin Yang Sect, Tianlong Sect, and Baolin Sect?"
"right."
Gu Weinan was worried that Lin Zhong's news would be delayed, so he added: "In addition to the four sects mentioned above, the Yaorizong and Donghua sects also entered the situation a few days ago, and the situation is very chaotic."
Lin Zhong expected the Yaorizong to enter the game, but why would the Donghua Sect join in the fun?
What does the matter in the Eastern Province have to do with the Donghua Sect?
Could it be that they are unwilling to be left alone and want to take advantage of Zhenwu Sect and Tianlong Sect to fight for the throne of the number one hidden sect in the Yanhuang martial arts world?
Lin Zhong frowned and asked, "Has the winner been determined?"
"No."
Gu Weinan shook his head: "Because of the Yaori Sect and the Donghua Sect, the Zhenwu Sect and the Tianlong Sect decided to temporarily stop their operations at the same time and asked for help from their respective headquarters. I heard that Lu Guichen and Xiao Shitong were both heading to the Eastern Province.
On the way."
After listening to Gu Weinan's story, Lin Zhong suddenly lost his appetite.
Lin Zhong put down his chopsticks, stood up and walked back and forth.
Gu Weinan was startled by Lin Zhong's behavior and quickly stood up. His red lips pursed slightly, his chest trembled slightly, and his eyes followed Lin Zhong.
Lin Zhong didn't notice Gu Weinan's panic, his thoughts kept spinning.
I thought that even if he was not around, Wu Meng and Wuji Sect would be able to control the situation.
After all, he and Chen Hanzhou have reached a tacit understanding.
As long as Chen Hanzhou makes a strong appearance and shows the overwhelming strength of Gang Jin Martial Saint, what will Zhenwu Sect, Tianlong Sect, and Yaori Sect do to compete with Wuji Sect?
It's not like where you came from or where you're going.
Although there will be blood and people will die, at least it will not affect the entire martial arts world.
But now it seems that he thought too simply.
Chen Hanzhou's purpose is not just to make the Wuji Sect become the number one hidden sect.
He seems to want to take this opportunity to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and wait for Zhenwu Sect, Tianlong Sect, Yaori Sect, etc. to fight to the death, and then come forward to reap the fruits of victory.
If the various factions are bleeding like rivers in brutal fighting, will they let other sects benefit? Will they still care about the lives of ordinary people?
