Qianhe Lake, the largest lake in Beluga Mansion, is dotted with small islands.
This place has beautiful mountains and rivers all year round, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.
Along the ever-changing lake shoreline, groups of white cranes can be seen sipping the lake water from time to time. When they fly up, they look like snowflakes flying all over the sky.
Such a wonderful scenery is so beautiful that it is said to be a unique place in Beluga Mansion.
Such a treasure land is controlled by a sect named White Crane Sect.
The White Crane Sect is one of the thirty-six sects under the Whale Alliance.
call out!
On the horizon, Gu Chen and Yuchi Zhong were flying in the air, heading towards Baihe Island in the center of Qianhe Lake.
In order to show fairness, the Whale Alliance meeting is held by one of its members in turn every year, and this year, it was the White Crane Sect's turn to hold it.
Tomorrow is the meeting of the Whale Alliance. Faced with this annual grand gathering of the White Whale Mansion, the White Crane Sect has already started preparations half a month ago to welcome the arrival of the thirty-six sect leaders.
The location is chosen on the beautiful Baihe Island, which makes people feel like they are on vacation when they come here.
However, this is just a superficial phenomenon.
Every time the Whale Alliance meets, there will inevitably be intrigues among the major sects, and bloodshed is also very common.
After all, none of these thirty-six sects, including the Demon Sect, the Ghost Sect, and the Demon Sect, are easy to mess with.
"It's finally here."
At the Baihe Island Ferry, Gu Chen and Yu Chizhong flew down after a long journey.
In order to show respect for the organizer of the conference, as usual, people from each sect will not fly directly into the island, but will land here and be received by people from the White Crane Sect.
In front, many people from the White Crane Sect were responsible for welcoming the guests. It happened that three monks had just arrived in front of Gu Chen and the others.
"Welcome all distinguished guests from Danxia Sect to visit us. May our sect Pengpi shine brightly."
"Master Fan, you've had a hard time on the road."
An elder from the White Crane Sect took the lead in greeting him with a big smile.
"Elder Qiu, long time no see, you are still as charming as ever."
Master Fan of Danxia Sect smiled and exchanged greetings.
"The house, wine and food have been prepared. Master Fan is tired from the journey. Please take a good rest. My sect master will come to visit you in person tonight."
"You guys, lead the three masters of Fan Sect to Qunfang Courtyard."
Immediately, several disciples came forward and respectfully led the three distinguished guests away, while Elder Qiu of the White Crane Sect continued to receive them.
Gu Chen and Yu Chizhong stepped forward at this time.
"I wonder which sect you two are from? They look very strange."
Elder Qiu immediately greeted him with a smile as bright as spring breeze.
The Tianchen Sect has just been established, and the old leader of the Yunyan Sect who used to represent the three cities in meetings is no longer there, so it is normal that no one knows Gu Chen.
"Hello, fellow Taoist, we are from the Tianchen Sect, and this person is the master of our sect, Chen Guchen."
Yu Chizhong immediately stepped forward to hand over the invitation and introduced him politely.
"Tianchen Sect?"
Elder Qiu's face was slightly stunned. He carefully looked at the invitation in his hand, and then looked at the young Gu Chen.
After a moment, he realized what he was doing and his smile faded a lot.
"It turns out that you are a guest of the Tianchen Sect. Welcome. Sect Master Chen is indeed as rumored. A hero comes from a young age."
"Fellow Taoist, thank you very much."
Gu Chen replied calmly. With his extraordinary eyesight, he was keenly aware of the perfunctory tone in the other party's words.
"You, take two guests to Qingfengzhai."
There was no warm greeting like when he received the Danxia Sect Master before. Elder Qiu randomly assigned a disciple to take Gu Chen and Gu Chen to their residence, as if he didn't want to talk too much.
When Yuchizhong saw this, he frowned slightly, but Gu Chenhun didn't care.
Leaving the ferry, on the way to Qingfengzhai.
"Sect Master, the elder of the White Crane Sect just now clearly neglected us. He called the people of the Danxia Sect "distinguished guests", and he treated us as guests. He was so enthusiastic about the Master of the Fan Sect, and he didn't even say this to you in three sentences."
"Also, why are there several disciples leading the way for Danxia Sect, but there is only one here. You know, Danxia Sect is only the bottom sect in the Whale League."
Yuchizhong looked gloomy and whispered to Gu Chen.
"What's the point of worrying about this? Don't let the disciple in front of you hear it, lest you laugh at you for not being grand enough."
When Gu Chen heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. He didn't expect that Yu Chizhong cared so much about these small details.
Of course he also noticed these details. After the elder knew that the two of them were from the Tianchen Sect, his expression changed very quickly.
But he didn't think it was anything. After all, the Tianchen Sect had just been established, and he, the sect leader, looked too young, so it wasn't surprising that he was judged by his appearance.
"It's not that I'm stingy, it doesn't matter if that guy neglects me, but treating you like this, my lord, makes me very unhappy."
Yuchizhong was an upright person who could not hide his words in his heart.
"These are all minor issues. We are here to attend the Whale Alliance meeting. This is the territory of the White Crane Sect. Guests can do as they wish."
Gu Chen casually replied that compared to this matter, the beautiful scenery of Baihe Island attracted him more.
After hearing this, Yuchizhong also felt that he might have thought too much and stopped talking.
Not long after, Qingfengzhai arrived, surprisingly simple.
The houses here are quite old at first glance. The weeds in the yard are almost knee-high. The steps in front of the house are covered with moss and the walls are covered with vines.
"Living in such a horrible place? Is this the way your White Crane Sect treats guests?"
Yuchizhong took one look and glared at the disciple who was leading the way. His previously calm anger was about to explode again.
"Two seniors, this place looks ordinary, but the environment is very quiet, and the buildings inside have been cleaned!"
The disciple was frightened and said quickly, and quickly stepped forward and opened the door.
Sure enough, as he said, although the yard is not that good, the house is indeed very clean.
"Hmph, don't you, the White Crane Sect, have a better place to live? This place is even better than the places where the outer disciples of the Tianchen Sect live."
Yuchizhong was still dissatisfied.
"Okay, I like quiet places, so don't embarrass him, just stay here."
"You can go down now."
Gu Chen saw that the disciple's face turned pale when he was frightened by Yu Chizhong, he shook his head and said.
"Then, this junior will leave first. If you have any questions for the two seniors, please give me any instructions."
As if he was being pardoned, the disciple quickly ran away.
"Sect Master, I think the White Crane Sect is deliberately neglecting us!"
As soon as the disciple left, Yuchizhong said again, pointing to the hill in the distance.
"Look, the mountain gate of the White Crane Sect is there, and the Whale Alliance meeting will be held there tomorrow morning, but we are placed so far away."
"You also heard before that the Danxia Sect was arranged to a place called Qunfangyuan, which is different from us!"
Gu Chen looked thoughtfully at the small courtyard. He had to admit that what Yuchizhong said made some sense.
However, if you just look down upon yourself as the young leader of a sect, there is no need to deliberately make things difficult for yourself, right?
What good will it do to the White Crane Sect if you neglect yourself?
"Sect Master, let me go out for a walk and see how the people in other sects are arranged?"
"Hmph, if the White Crane Sect really intends to neglect you, sect leader, I will never forgive them!"
Yuchizhong had a hot temper and left Qingfengzhai without resting even after he finished speaking.
Gu Chen didn't stop him. He was also curious about what medicine the White Crane Sect was selling in the gourd.
