Gu Yi had never felt anxious before. An appeal like Zhou Tian's was rare in the entire four continents, let alone the academy, so he was looking forward to Emperor Shang's approval.
The master nodded with a smile: "The Thirteenth Emperor Wen Shang agreed immediately after seeing it!"
Hearing this news, all the disciples present were extremely excited, especially Xu Qingnian. Seeing that the young master was finally recognized by Emperor Shang and recognized by the people of the world, he had a response to what Zhou Liting had explained. He looked at Zhou Tian with relief and said
: "Young Master, I finally lived up to your father's trust!"
Zhou Tian nodded and smiled slightly: "It's good if you agree. Finally, we can face the people of Haotian Pavilion directly."
After that, he walked towards the Master seriously, looked at the flag in the Master's hand and bowed, saying: "Master's teachings and Emperor Shang's trust, I will definitely live up to your trust!"
The Master handed the flag back to Zhou Tian, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Haotian Pavilion is in Xihuan, and I also have this intention for you to go to Xihuan to deal with Xuantian Sect, plus Emperor Shang
I agree, if you encounter obstacles on the road and take this waist card, it may come in handy in times of crisis!"
After saying that, the master took out a silver waistband from his sleeve, with the word "shang" engraved on it. Zhou Tian carefully put it in his arms and asked: "Master, I hope you can handle the matter of Youyou when I go this time."
Treat it properly and hope she can get better soon."
"One more thing is whether Senior Brother Su Xinghe and Senior Bai can accompany me!"
Regarding the passage, Su Xinghe has always been looking forward to it. Hearing Zhou Tian say this, he was very happy in his heart and looked at the Master with longing eyes, hoping that the Master would agree immediately.
But the master hesitated for a long time, looked at Bai Qinghe and then said: "Thirteen, this trip to Xihuan is extremely dangerous. It would be best for Bai Qinghe to go with you, but I still have something to explain to him, so...
.”
"Let's do this. Let Su Xinghe go with you first. After Bai Qinghe has finished doing things for me, I will let him meet you. What do you think?"
Master said so, Zhou Tian naturally couldn't refuse, so he nodded slowly.
Su Xinghe was a little disappointed when he heard that senior Bai Qinghe could not go with him, but when he thought that he could still go with his eldest brother Su Mohan after leaving the academy, he didn't feel anything.
"Okay, master, senior brothers, Lao Xu! Senior brother Su Xinghe and I will take the first step!"
Xu Qingnian raised his eyebrows, stepped forward and stood beside the master and asked: "Young master, there is no need to worry about this matter. It is not too late to stay in the academy for a few more days."
"Besides, you still have many senior brothers and sisters who haven't come back yet, so there's no harm in waiting for them."
The master also nodded: "Yes, Thirteen, you are now the champion of ten thousand sects in the martial arts competition. I will recognize you wherever you go. This will make it easier for you to act in the future and not be in a hurry."
Although the Master and Xu Qingnian had been asking him to stay longer, Zhou Tian didn't think so. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said to the Master with very firm eyes: "Master, the trip to Xihuan is a long way, how should we go?
?We still need to make a specific plan, but it is better to go early. Although there is a map, we don’t know what will happen on the way. We don’t know when we can come back from this trip. If we go early, we might be able to come back earlier to reunite with everyone.”
"Master, Lao Xu, please don't keep me here. Everything you have taught me, plus the few months I spent in the academy with my senior fellow students, have made me deeply moved. I will definitely come back as soon as possible."
After that, he left the martial arts field.
The other disciples also dispersed, and in the end, only Xu Qingnian was left alone in the martial arts training ground, standing there without knowing what he was thinking.
After Zhou Tian returned to his room, he simply packed up and bowed, placed the Fengtian Blade and Luan Feng on both sides of his waist respectively, and then walked out of the door and came to the well at the back of the academy.
He didn't dare to get close, but his longing for Youyou made him unable to control himself. He quickly ran to the well, lay down at the mouth of the well and looked down, but he couldn't see anything in the pitch-black bottomless well.
"Brother Zhou Tian? Is that you? Brother Zhou Tian, is that you?"
Suddenly there was a burst of hurried shouting from the well. Zhou Tian was startled and quickly covered his mouth. Tears instantly soaked his eye circles.
"Brother Zhou Tian, I know you are here. There is no need to be sad or sad. I know why the academy trapped me in the well, and I also understand the master's good intentions. When the puppetry in my body is eliminated, I will definitely find him as soon as possible.
I will never forget you and our joint wine..."
When Zhou Tian heard Youyou's familiar voice, he recalled the scenes with Youyou in the past, and recalled the wedding scene with Youyou not long ago. His heart felt like a knife, and he hated Haotian Pavilion extremely. He clenched his fists tightly,
He hit the ground hard and then walked away without looking back.
Zhou Tian quickly arrived at the entrance of the academy and saw that Su Xinghe had been waiting for a long time.
"Thirteen, let's go!"
Zhou Tian's face was expressionless, and the sweat on his forehead was dripping down. Su Xinghe looked very puzzled and couldn't help but look up to the sky.
"The weather is refreshing today and the breeze is gentle. Why are you sweating profusely? Where have you been?"
Zhou Tian didn't want to answer anything, but just said softly: "Let's go and find big brother."
When Su Xinghe heard the word eldest brother, he didn't think much about it and happily responded: "Okay!"
At this time, Xu Qingnian, who was standing in the distance, glanced lightly. Just as he was about to jump up, the master immediately stopped him from behind.
"What? Are you still worried about your young master?"
It turned out to be the Master.
Xu Qingnian turned his head and looked at the master, and asked strangely: "Master, are you here to see off the young master too? The young master is going to Xihuan this time. I'm afraid there will be more misfortune than good. There should be many experts from Haotian Pavilion along the way from Dongchu to Xihuan. The young master has only just arrived now."
It's Qi Zun realm, I'm afraid he can't handle it, and Bai Qinghe wants to help you with things, why not let me help them secretly!"
The master understood Xu Qingnian's anxious mood very well. He nodded and smiled: "Your young master is no longer what he was when he first came to the academy. Don't worry about it. I have something that I need you and Bai Qinghe to discuss together."
Go do it.”
When Xu Qingnian heard what his master said, he was puzzled.
He stepped forward and frowned and asked: "Besides the affairs of Haotian Pavilion, there is nothing else in the world that Bai Qinghe can't do. Why should you ask me to go with him?"
Xu Qingnian looked very anxious, and he was always thinking about Zhou Tian in his heart.
The master's expression became serious: "Yes, Bai Qinghe can do everything by himself except Haotian Pavilion, but this matter is extraordinary. I hope you will follow him and help me pay attention to Bai Qinghe's status at all times."
The master's words became more and more outrageous, which made Xu Qingnian feel very strange.
He tilted his head and didn't quite understand.
"Pay attention to the condition of Bai Qinghe? What do you mean, Master?"
The master looked around and saw no one, so he whispered to Xu Qingnian: "I haven't said a thing since Bai Qinghe came out from the bottom of the well."
"This matter is of great importance. After much thought, it would be more appropriate to tell you."
Xu Qingnian's eyes moved, and his expression suddenly became serious. Looking at the Master's lips that opened and closed, he seemed to know something.
"What Master wants to say is that the black gas unique to Haotian Pavilion occasionally appears in Bai Qinghe's body?"
When Xu Qingnian said this, the master was a little surprised. He nodded and asked, "Since you know, then you still don't understand my intention?"
"I went to Emperor Shang just now. Firstly, it was to stamp Thirteen's crusade. Secondly, Emperor Shang asked me to send some academy disciples with higher cultivation levels to help him in his palace. After thinking about it, I think you
It’s perfect to go with Bai Qinghe.”
"So I ask you to help me keep an eye on him. If he does anything unusual, you can stop him in time."
Xu Qingnian frowned and looked at the master's helpless expression and said: "Master, you and I both know who Bai Qinghe is. Master, are you still doubting Bai Qinghe's character? At the beginning, Haotian Pavilion was owned by Bai Qinghe.
Chuang, of course the black gas will appear occasionally, there is no problem; as for going to the palace to help, it is just that Emperor Shang is afraid that the people from Haotian Pavilion will attack again, and the young master has already gone to Xihuan to attack, so it is not a problem, Master,
There is no need to worry too much about these things, you should just let me accompany the young master!"
Xu Qingnian made a lot of excuses, just wanting to accompany Zhou Tian to Xihuan immediately. When the master heard that Xu Qingnian was like this, he was very angry, and his facial expression became stiff. Looking at Xu Qingnian's eyes, he suddenly changed every word.
Very sharp.
"Xu Qingnian, you are the first disciple of my academy. According to the truth, you can deny me as your master, but since you are already in the academy, you must listen to me. There is no reason why Emperor Shang's words should be dismissed.
I told you to go with Bai Qinghe in front of Emperor Shang, do you want me to break my promise in front of Emperor Shang?"
When Xu Qingnian heard this, his master's tone suddenly turned cold, and he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
His eyes softened a lot: "Master, what I just said is..."
The master didn't want to listen to Xu Qingnian's unnecessary nonsense anymore, so he raised his hand and shook it: "Okay, no need to talk anymore, the matter has been decided, and we can leave tomorrow. I will also leave the academy for a while tomorrow, but I will inform the academy as well.
disciple."
After saying that, he walked away with his hands behind his back.
At night, Xu Qingnian tossed and turned, always worried about Zhou Tian's safety. He walked out of the room and stood beside Xiaoxiang Water Pavilion for a long time.
"Lao Xu, why are you here in the middle of the night? Can't you sleep?"
Xu Qingnian turned around and saw that it was Zhang Manman.
"Zhang Manman? Why are you here?"
Zhang sighed slowly and squatted down, holding a wooden stick in his hand and drawing something unknown on the ground.
"After the second son left, I have been thinking about what the master did, what the academy did, and what we disciples did, what is the purpose?"
"For the Master? It's too far-fetched. For the academy? It's too perfunctory. For the Shang Kingdom and the Shang Emperor? It's too hypocritical. I really don't understand. What is all this for?"
Xu Qingnian looked at Zhang and smiled slowly: "Why, you still have to ask yourself after all. Others can't answer it, but if you ask me why, it will naturally be the promise I made at the beginning."
Zhang listened slowly and smiled bitterly: "People are selfish, but often unwilling to admit it; since the second brother left, I have finally understood that no matter what I do, it is still for myself..."
