“Then we won’t disturb you. Mother-in-law, please do as you like.”
The owner of the Five Immortals Sect, an old woman wearing a purple cloud-sea robe, showed no intention of resisting, and actually turned around and left.
The elder Fan Qingqing still had a natural expression and said respectfully: "My mother-in-law has her orders, and we should follow them."
As she spoke, she glanced at Jiang Wang intentionally or unintentionally: "Two distinguished guests, please take your time to chat."
The senior officials of the Five Immortals Sect immediately retreated, leaving only Jiang Wang and Granny Bizhu in the tall Zhengsheng Hall.
Coming to the offshore islands, Jiang Wang had already expected to meet Granny Bizhu. After all, her master could not be avoided in rescuing Zhu Biqiong.
Even a large part of the reason why he came to the Five Immortals Sect as a guest was because he heard that the person standing behind the Five Immortals Sect was Granny Bizhu.
But he really never thought about meeting him so early.
What kind of person is Grandma Bizhu?
From Zhu Biqiong's occasional narration earlier, this old woman should have a relatively strong personality, which makes Zhu Biqiong a little afraid, but she is very good to her disciples. As a powerful elder, her status in Diaohai Tower goes without saying.
.
Ever since Zhu Suyao was almost half-dead, Granny Bizhu still fought for her the opportunity to enter the secret realm of Tianfu, which can prove that Granny Bizhu is indeed good to her disciples.
Moreover, after Zhu Biqiong returned to the island and reported how Zhu Suyao was framed, Hu Shaomeng was quickly removed from the list even though he was dead.
Grandma Bizhu's protection for her disciples can also be seen from this.
And judging from Jiang Wang’s current first contact...
Grandma Bizhu is undoubtedly a very powerful person!
As soon as she appeared, she firmly grasped the situation with just two sentences.
On the one hand, she drove out the senior officials of the Five Immortals Sect in the main hall of the Five Immortals Sect, showing Jiang Wang her strong control over the Five Immortals Sect.
If Jiang Wang really represents someone from the Qi State and has some thoughts about the Five Immortals Sect, he would have to reconsider it.
On the other hand, she chose to contact Jiang Wang personally, but excluded the senior officials of the Five Immortals Sect. This was to completely deny the Five Immortals Sect the opportunity to pretend to be powerful and have both sides.
She was able to personally observe Jiang Wang's purpose in coming to the Five Immortals Sect without being disturbed.
On the contrary, Fan Qingqing and others, who had no idea what they were going to talk about outside the palace, would inevitably become jealous after that, not knowing what to say and what not to say.
Unless Jiang Wang or the forces behind Jiang Wang have already had close and firm cooperation with the Five Immortals Sect. Otherwise, all intentions in the early stages of contact should have collapsed.
Another thing Jiang Wang saw was that Granny Bizhu shouted at the top of the Five Immortals Sect at will... indicating that she was no longer just the backer behind the Five Immortals Sect, not just a relationship of exchange of interests, but began to control this.
The sect began to completely turn the Five Immortals Sect into its own subordinates and vassals.
Perhaps? This is the reason why Fan Qingqing had an ambiguous attitude towards Duimingdao before.
One old and one young, both sides have their own observations and considerations.
Out of politeness, Jiang Wang first greeted him: "Mother-in-law, please sit down."
"Is there any guest who hasn't sat down yet? Why does the host sit down first?" Granny Bizhu said with a hint of truth in her words: "Please sit down first."
He seems to regard himself as a landlord.
Jiang Wang smiled and did not explain to the old woman who was afraid that others would seize her territory. He just sat down in his original position. Then he said, "I wonder what my mother-in-law has to talk to me about?"
Grandma Bizhu walked over slowly and sat down on the main seat. She listened quietly for a while and suddenly sighed: "I'm old!"
Jiang Wang thought to himself, isn’t this obvious? The wrinkles on your old man’s face are so deep that they could trap a fly.
But after all, he would not say it so impolitely. At the same time, he was also too lazy to flatter him against his will.
Seeing that Jiang Wang was speechless, Granny Bizhu said again: "When I see a young man like you in your prime, it will inevitably remind me of the past. But back then, there were not many young people like you.
"
“I’m just young and energetic, how can I afford such praise?” Jiang Wang asked, “Do you know my mother-in-law?”
"Jiang Wang, a man from Qingyang Town, how come I don't know this? As soon as I hear this name, I know who it is." When Bi Zhu's mother-in-law said this, she let out a long sigh: "After all... my Bi Qiong disciple? He often talks about it to me.
."
She was the first to bring up the topic of Zhu Biqiong.
But Jiang Wang didn’t talk to him immediately, but said: "You also have a time when you are young? I also have a time when I am old. People in the world, things in the world? It’s not like this. What kind of genius? Talent? It’s just one thing for a while."
He originally thought that Grandma Bizhu only learned about the visit from Qi State through her eyes and ears in the Five Immortals Sect. Or maybe Fan Qingqing deliberately let out the news.
The purpose of Granny Bizhu coming to Zhengsheng Hall should naturally be to protect her "foundation" and prevent outsiders from having the opportunity to interfere with the Five Immortals Sect.
But at this moment...what is the purpose of mentioning Zhu Biqiong?
Does she know her intention of coming to the offshore islands?
Jiang Wang needed time to think and didn't want to reveal his attitude too early, so he didn't hear Zhu Biqiong's name.
Grandma Biqiong sighed again: "There are not many young people who see things as clearly as you. It's really rare! No wonder Biqiong always mentions you."
This old woman is always sighing, as if she is trapped in a heavy mind and cannot extricate herself. She also mentions Zhu Biqiong again and again.
Jiang Wang finally could no longer avoid it: "Actually, I came to the offshore islands this time not only to perform official duties, but also to see Brother Bamboo. How is she... now?"
“What else can we do?” The old woman said sadly and in a low voice, “I’m just waiting to die...”
She changed the subject: "Biqiong is really lucky to have you as a friend in Qi. You also helped with Hu Shaomeng's matter. It's a pity..."
“Killing Hu Shaomeng is just to fulfill the promise.” Jiang Wang’s eyes narrowed slightly: “What a pity?”
Granny Bizhu sighed deeply again: "It's hard to break the rules of the family. Even though I have some status and have become an elder due to my long years, I can't influence such important events as the Sea Festival. I can only watch Qiong'er...
…”
At this point, she was already choked up with sobs: "Her cultivation was destroyed by me with my own hands. I am really..."
His voice is pitiful and his expression is tragic, making those who see him almost cry.
Especially in this Zhengsheng Hall, it is very contagious.
Thinking of Zhu Biqiong's situation, Jiang Wang could not help but feel sad.
But at this moment, he suddenly remembered something, something he had never thought of before, something that Zhong Xuansheng also ignored because he didn't know Zhu Biqiong well enough. As the powerful elder of Diaohai Tower, Hai Zongming's movements should be secret. Zhu Bi
How did Joan's mind know that?
Zhu Biqiong is certainly not a fool, but she is definitely not very wise. In the past, she was too well protected by her sister Zhu Suyao, so she was simple and ignorant of worldly affairs.
How could such a simple girl detect Haizongming's movements, and how could she hide it from such a powerful Granny Bizhu?
He and Chong Xuansheng both knew that Zhu Biqiong was deprived of cultivation and sent to Shanghai for sacrifice because he violated the sect rules, which indirectly led to the death of the sect elder Hai Zongming.
Their focus has been on how to leverage the rules of Diaohai Tower, how to influence the sea festival, and how to rescue Zhu Biqiong, but they have ignored why Zhu Biqiong was able to pass Haizong Ming to him in the first place.
