While Wan Shukuang and Xiang Yuhua were whispering, the two elders of the Xunluan sect were also whispering in the study room on the second floor of Zhang Xi's home. Although the two brothers had met often over the years, they still preferred to talk in private.
This time, they jointly led the Tang Dynasty and then convened a gathering of disciples of the Xunluan sect to make a public appearance, which gave them a good opportunity for communication. Only cooperation can lead to communication.
Bao Min said with a look of shame: "Not to mention how precious the Liejin Stone is, Mr. Rand probably wouldn't care too much about it, but it was a gift from Senior Liu Li to witness the execution of the Tang Dynasty and the
It was a righteous act, and there were only three of us present. Alas, how could Lu Changlin be so ignorant? He should have understood it if he thought about it carefully! People need to be self-aware.
Fortunately, Mr. Rand was magnanimous and cleverly resolved the embarrassment, and everyone present did not see the flaw. Otherwise, the scene where I, the Xunluan sect, would have turned into a shameful joke. But you and I really can’t afford to lose face. We owe it to Rand.
Sir, this is such a great favor. I cannot allow anyone to suffer any loss in this matter. Senior brother, what do you think we should do? Otherwise, this golden stone in my hand..."
Zhang Xi interrupted him: "Junior Brother Bao, this is not about things. Mr. Rand gave four junior crystals on the spot just to set off the kindness of senior Liu Li and give me enough face to find Luanpai. Let's help him this time.
Of course he felt grateful for being involved in danger, and what he cared about was not the Fierce Gold Stone.
Please rest assured, I will naturally make arrangements, and I will not let Mr. Rand suffer or let him have any grudges. But junior brother, think about it carefully. This time, Senior Rand is generous and good at changing circumstances. If it were changed,
What about a person? If something like this happens again, what if the situation is different next time? "
Bao Min muttered: "It's just you and me behind closed doors. Let's talk about some things directly. We should talk to Uncle Hao. The Xunluan jade admonition has not been found for many years. I think it is probably lost, but the Xunluan sect cannot
This will always be the case. This problem must be solved sooner or later. Lu Changlin is not a talented leader."
Zhang Xi took advantage of the situation and said: "I also have this idea, but I still don't know how to tell my junior brother that it is very necessary to lead the sect with integrity, but more importantly, the Xunluan sect cannot continue to be disorganized. If you want to talk to Master Hao about this matter
, I will fully support you. It is best for Master Hao to speak at the next sect gathering and reiterate the matter of establishing the sect leader. As long as this matter is settled, it will be easy to handle."
Bao Min looked at him: "Senior brother, with all due respect, over the years I have seen that you only focus on business and do not look like an expert in the secret arts, and I have criticized it in my heart. However, during this trip to Guangzhou, I discovered that senior brother and Lu Changlin
It's quite different. If it were me, I really wouldn't be able to plan so thoroughly and be prepared in every aspect in such a short period of time. Now that you have officially established your intention to be the leader, what are your thoughts on who is suitable among the Xunluan Sect now?
"
Zhang Xi: "In terms of qualifications, of course Senior Uncle Hao is the oldest, and in terms of cultivation, Junior Brother Bao is of course the highest. But now things have to be done step by step. We must first decide on the matter of re-establishing the official leader, and gather all the fellow disciples to discuss and recommend it. In short
No matter what the outcome is, as long as our Xunluan sect can be revived, Zhang Xi will do his best to promote it."
Bao Min nodded: "Well, that's all we can do. When I return to Hong Kong, I will talk to Uncle Hao privately and try to reach an agreement on the matter at the next sect gathering. It would be best if the Xunluan sect does not have to fall apart, but inheritance cannot be done either.
To decline in the hands of Lu Changlin, this is what Bao wants to see least... Mr. Rand, I will leave it to you, senior brother, to make arrangements."
Zhang Xi: "I will naturally handle this. Maybe with God's will, Xunluan Jade Admonition will reappear only after Xunluan integrates the sect."
These two people are interesting. They have discussed the matter of officially establishing the head of the family, but no one is willing to come forward themselves. Instead, they let the eighty-year-old teacher uncle Hao Fengjun, who has never interfered in the affairs of the family, to come forward. Anyway, this old man has enough words to speak.
He has the authority and is not afraid of offending others, as long as the two elders support him secretly.
They have not agreed on who will be the first official leader of the Xunluan sect in more than 60 years. The matter is just vague and they will decide when the time comes. This is also a smart choice. Nothing has been done. What if
They just think about who will take advantage after things are done, and they are doomed to accomplish nothing. They have to take the first step before talking about the rest. Anyway, the two of them have a common starting point, that is, Lu Changlin can no longer represent the Xunluan sect as the leader of the sect.
You Fang sheathed his sword and stood on the spot with his head held high and his chest held high. The steaming mist above his head had dissipated, and not a drop of sweat could be seen on his face. Under the moonlight, his complexion was as bright as jade, and he was indeed somewhat handsome.
Xiang Yinghua walked out of the woods, smiling but not smiling, and said with a hint of reproach in his tone: "Rand, do you want to exhaust yourself to death?"
You Fang smiled: "Don't underestimate me, I'm fine. How can I bear to interrupt Miss Yinghua's graceful moon dance?"
Xiang Yinghua sighed softly: "Yinghua will go back tomorrow. Before leaving, I just want Mr. Rand to understand the dangers of fighting with a real master in the world. From your sword intention today, you can see the deep and profound love.
If you stay here and continue to practice swordsmanship, you will surely improve your skills, and Yinghua will feel relieved."
Dangerous? Recalling that the situation in the fight just now was indeed dangerous. If it were a life-and-death fight, it would be almost like being in a desperate situation. Even training together would almost make him collapse, but in his heart, You Fang would rather appreciate it more.
The charming Yue Wu. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Miss Yinghua, for your guidance. I won't say any more words of gratitude!"
Xiang Yinghua looked at him and forgot to return the gift, his eyes were as clear as moonlight, and he said quietly: "Senior Liu Li once left a message that Tang Chao He is one of the leaders of the Wuchong Sect that has been secretly inherited. They operate overseas, and Tang Chao Shang is a cultivator.
Although Gao may not be able to come here personally and you should be able to protect yourself, there is no possibility that Miss Qi will be implicated in the Guangzhou incident."
You Fang nodded guiltily: "I will pay attention to it. She will not be involved in the dangerous things in Jianghu. After this matter is over, Ruoxue will no longer have anything to do with it."
Xiang Yinghua hesitated: "You sent four crystal stones to make friends with Xunluan disciples, especially Zhang Xi. It is not an unreasonable gesture. If Zhang Xi takes care of you in Guangzhou, don't worry too much.
It seems that Miss Qi is just a..."
Xiang Yinghua only said half of what she said, but You Fang understood what she meant. This was neither a compliment nor a criticism, it was just a straightforward statement. Anyway, the meaning was quite complicated. If you couldn't explain it in a few words, it would be better not to say it.
You Fang didn't know how to answer this, so he simply stopped talking. The two of them stood face to face and felt awkward for some reason. The moonlight shone quietly, and his shadow was cast on her body. There was a strange feeling in the embarrassment.
The feeling filled the air. After a moment, Xiang Yinghua suddenly asked: "Rand, the fiery gold stone you gave to Master Lu, should it be your own?"
You Fang nodded with a grimace and admitted: "It was indeed given to me by senior Liu Li."
Xiang Yinghua smiled. It was the first time for You Fang to see such a playful and cute expression on her face. The smile was so bright that one could hardly realize that he was in the deep mountains at night. He only heard her smile and say: "I guessed it right."
.”
You Fang: "How did you see it? I thought I could adapt easily and there were no flaws."
Xiang Yinghua chuckled and replied: "There were only the three of you present at that time. How could it be someone else's when Senior Liu Li gave me three crystal stones? Yinghua is not stupid, of course he can think of it, and I also know what you said at the dinner.
I heard it clearly. It seems that there is no flaw, but there is no flaw in your reaction. There are traces in the matter itself." This was the first time he heard her talking with a smile.
You Fang also laughed: "I can't help it. I can't mess up a good scene. If he wants to take it, just give it to him."
Xiang Yinghua put away his smile: "The favor you received today is important enough to Zhang Xi. If something happens in Guangzhou, it should be no problem to ask him to take care of it." After going around in circles, he came back to his words.
You Fang didn't want to say any more, so he changed the subject and said, "It's late at night. You have to travel far tomorrow, so you should rest early."
Xiang Yinghua raised his head in the moonlight: "Aren't you going back to rest?"
You Fang said sternly: "I still want to stay alone for a while to fully understand the subtleties of tonight's sword practice."
Xiang Yinghua laughed again and asked directly: "You can't walk, can you?" As he spoke, he suddenly reached out and pushed You Fang.
One word to describe the current You Fang is - pretending!
Standing tall and calm, talking and laughing calmly, he seemed to be very cool and unrestrained. However, after the sword dance just now, almost all the strength in his body was drained. He was more tired than ordinary people after running a marathon, and it was not just ordinary fatigue.
, but the whole body cannot exert any strength, and the legs become weak as soon as they take a step.
Xiang Yinghua stood so close that he could reach out and push his chest. At any other time, You Fang might have quietly stepped back, so how could he still stand here still? Just now Wan Shukuang and Xiang Yu
Hua whispered that Mr. Rand and Xiang Yinghua's moon dance sword fight lasted for an hour, and he was considering whether he should come over and carry him back, which was not an exaggeration.
Except for grabbing her hand and putting a bracelet on her last time, this is the second time the two have physical contact. This kind of action would be normal for others, but if Xiang Yinghua does it, then
What an unexpected sneak attack. You Fang leaned up and took half a step back. His feet involuntarily gave way and almost fell, and then he was supported by Xiang Yinghua.
"Rand, it's not shameful to tell the truth. There's no need to hold on so hard. If I leave you here alone and go back alone, a wild cat will scratch you." Xiang Yinghua held You Fang's right arm with both hands.
, held his body steady and whispered with a smile and anger.
You Fang blushed deeply and was out of breath as he spoke. He coughed several times and replied: "The power of Miss Yinghua's moon dance is so exquisite that it's hard to describe. Rand has learned it! I wanted to pretend that nothing was wrong, but you...
Even though it has been exposed, I still don’t have enough confidence!”
Xiang Yinghua lowered his head slightly on his shoulder, his flowing hair blocking his red cheeks: "Why do you do this in front of me? I'll help you back, can you still walk?"
You Fang nodded quickly: "I can move, I can move!" Xiang Yinghua could really move around while holding him, but he would stagger around whenever he let go.
This situation made You Fang feel very embarrassed, but he couldn't refuse. It was just a helping hand between friends. If you thought wrong, it was because your thoughts were impure. Xiang Yinghua was so generous. He really didn't expect Xiang Yinghua to be so generous.
Hua would do this. Even if there was no such thing as Xiang Zuohu, Xiang Yinghua's described temperament made him admire and even feel amazed, but he did not dare to approach or touch easily.
Xiang Yinghua must also know that today's actions seem to be a silent expression: I am not thousands of miles away.
She has a clear heart and wisdom, and can see through many of You Fang's flaws, some of which are revealed and some not revealed, but because of this, there are other things that she cannot figure out no matter what.
Xiang Yinghua described her as natural and unadorned, with no makeup on her face, and she definitely never used perfume. But as You Fang was supported by her, she smelled a faint, almost indescribable alluring fragrance, like the mysterious fragrance under the moonlight.
The fragrance followed him everywhere. The alcohol at the dinner had long since dissipated, but at this moment he seemed to be really drunk.
"Yinghua, have you ever helped someone walk before?" His tone sounded a bit like he had drunk too much.
"Well, I once held my father's arm for a walk, and it felt so good." Xiang Yinghua answered with his head slightly lowered, holding You Fang's arm.
With just this sentence, You almost didn't fall over. He suddenly woke up from the blur of drunkenness! Then he didn't speak anymore, and just walked down the mountain silently, walked around the villa and came to the gate.
As the steps moved smoothly, You Fang gradually recovered and was able to walk on his own. Xiang Yinghua naturally let go of his arms.
The two said good night to each other at the stairs on the second floor and went to their respective rooms to sleep.
That night, the little wanderer couldn't sleep. He looked up at the starry sky outside the window and murmured to himself: "God, don't tease me like this! Xiang Zuohu, you are not a good guy, but you have a good daughter. If you know anything, you can
Bless her well and don't let her be teased by God!
Mr. Wu, if you are alive in heaven, are you still looking at me? Unfortunately, my time with you is too short, and I have no time to ask for advice on many things. You have never taught me these. My master is not serious.
What should I do about this kind of thing? Can you teach me?
Fairy Yueying, even if we don’t mention the relationship between men and women, I very much hope that you will be my best friend in this life. It’s such a pity that we are separated from you! But there is a feeling that I want, but it is always rare. It is really hard to get. You must not think about it.
Understand why.
Maybe one day, I will pay you back everything I owe you, and you can do whatever you want! But not now, I don't completely belong to myself.
By the way, Mr. Wu, you once said - you all choose your own path, but as long as you are in this world, the consequences of all choices do not belong to you alone. The first is the person who understands, and then the person who can take responsibility."
He was silent for a long time. At this moment, the crescent moon in the sky could not be seen in front of the window. In the distance, there were only the shadows of the mountains under the moonlight, and further away, the stars were blinking silently.
You Fang finally lowered his head and said: "Mr. Wu, won't you say anything? Well, I understand. You always let me think clearly. The old man and master have given me such a burden. Maybe one day I will have to put myself out there."
There is nothing to regret if you fall in. You should be kind to everything worth cherishing in front of you, and just give it to her tomorrow.
During these days, I will definitely not be able to leave here, so I will stay with Ruoxue well and at least give her what she wants at the moment. In retrospect, it is worth thanking. It’s time to go back and have a look when I have time. I don’t know how that girl Tu Su is doing at school.
Now, you should be able to take care of yourself, so you can feel at ease after just one look."
Early the next morning, as the glow on the shore of Luhu Lake had just risen, Xiang Yinghua and three other people said goodbye to You Fang and the comrades who came to see him off. When Xiang Yinghua said hello to You Fang, You Fang was about to do so, but she
She stretched out her hands, a very natural gesture, just a handshake. In full view of everyone, You Fang couldn't just leave her alone, so he reached out and shook hands naturally.
She also stretched out her other hand, put it on the back of his hand and clasped her hands together. You Fang had no choice but to stretch out his left hand and hold her hand in his palm. Xiang Yinghua said, "Mr. Rand, maybe
There is no need to say thank you between you and me, but since we met, Yinghua is really grateful to you for accompanying me all the way."
You Fang: "Since there is no need to say it, what else can you say? We say goodbye today and I don't know when we will see you again. You must take care of yourself."
Xiang Yinghua: "You should also take care and be careful in everything! If you have a chance, don't forget to come to Songhe Valley as a guest. I won't be anywhere else." After saying this, he gently let go of his hand, his eyes seeming to still say -
-Rand, don’t you have anything else to say to me? There must be, I can feel it.
It's a pity that You Fang really didn't say anything more. Zhang Liubing next to him saw Fairy Yueying shaking hands with Senior Rand, so he took advantage of the situation and stretched out his hand. But Xiang Yinghua only nodded slightly at him, hugged his fist, and left his hand dry.
There, Zhang Liubing saw the opportunity quickly and immediately raised his hand to return the favor without embarrassing himself.
After the three people from Songhe Valley left, everyone from Xunluan Sect also said goodbye to You Fang. After yesterday's dinner party, they felt quite close to and admired this young senior, and they all left their contact information with you.
Where to stay, I hope Mr. Rand can be a guest when he has time.
As for the traveler, he is a Feng Shui expert who has just returned from overseas. He wants to travel all over the world and has no fixed place to live. Of course, it is not easy to leave contact information. He only has a current Shenzhouxing mobile phone number, so he can only let everything happen.
The previous experience in Songhe Valley was the first time You Fang appeared in front of fellow sects, which was a good preparation. What happened in Guangzhou gradually spread throughout the world through the mouths of the disciples of the Xunluan sect.
, and the more it spread, the more profound it became, officially establishing the reputation of "Senior Melander".
If one day, everyone suddenly learns that he is the next generation of Earth Master who will inherit Liu Li's mantle, they will probably suddenly exclaim, "That's it!" Unexpected but reasonable, this is what Liu Li wants, the old man
The first step of the plan has been successful.
The Feng Shui sects of Jianghu Fengshui are the inheritance of Fengshui secrets left by Yang Gong thousands of years ago. They have spread to this day. They are still different from the Fengshui world that people usually understand. They are also different from the concept of "Fengshui" among the eight gates of Mojiayuan Jianghu.
Different. They specifically refer to the various sects that practice the secret method of Feng Shui and condense the spiritual axis of heaven and earth. The disciples may be in the public Feng Shui world, or they may have another identity entirely.
Interestingly, Melander's reputation has gradually spread in the Feng Shui community with Angelni's report and public speeches at the beginning of the year. Overtly and covertly, he has become a legendary Feng Shui master.
Putting aside the rest of the story, Zhang Xi first sent Lu Changlin, Hao Fengjun, Bao Min and others to the airport. At the same time, he also arranged for several disciples to take turns staying at the foot of Baiyun Mountain to keep watch, not to monitor the tourists, but to pay attention to the movements around the villa.
After all, what happened with the Tang Dynasty and the He Dynasty just happened, so it's better to be careful.
As soon as Lu Changlin and others were sent away, news came from Baiyun Mountain. Zhang Xi couldn't help but frown secretly after hearing the news, but could only smile bitterly.
