In Luo Yu's main hall, Luo Yan was packing his things quietly. The morning sun shone on him, as if covering him with a layer of golden gauze, quiet and soft.
He refused help from his friends. He had to clean up Luo Yu's belongings by himself. This was the only thing his son could do for him.
Ling'er was very quiet today, lying aside silently, occasionally passing things to him.
Ah Bu doesn't understand, he left his parents when he was very young, and he still doesn't know the feeling of losing a loved one. He only knows that his master is in a bad mood, so he doesn't say anything - he must be right to learn everything from his sister!
Luo Yan liked this quiet atmosphere very much. He sniffed it gently, as if Luo Yu's breath still lingered in the air.
"Luo Yan, one must know what's right! The elders are too embarrassed to drive you away, but you are really stuck here!" Suddenly, a sharp and high-pitched voice broke the silence in the hall, causing both the man and the beast to frown.
Following the sound, Cheng Xian walked in. Luo Yan's face was paler than the last time he saw him, but his cheeks were slightly red due to excitement, which made him look sick. He also had
Smells slightly of alcohol, obviously because he re-entered the inner gate recently, he has not eaten less.
"What do you mean?" Luo Yan raised his eyes and asked lightly. He was really not in the mood to quarrel with someone he looked down upon.
"What do you mean?" Cheng Xian sneered arrogantly. The dark circles under his eyes were a little scary. He said every word, "Don't you understand? The new master of the Zhenjing Hall has been selected, but you, the old master,
But my son didn’t even look at me. How can I get someone to take office when you’re here?”
"Is this what the sect leader meant?" Luo Yan asked calmly, with sarcasm in his eyes and a slight sneer.
Cheng Xian hesitated and snorted coldly: "You are going to move out sooner or later, and the sect leader has to send someone to evict you. How embarrassing!"
"I'm asking you, do you mean to be the sect leader?" Luo Yan emphasized his tone a little more. Looking at Cheng Xian's ugly face, he said coldly, "My father died for the sect. What do I, Luo Yan, want to do? You are not qualified."
When the new palace master takes office, I will naturally make room for him, but I will never be kicked out by you! Mr. Cheng, please remember, if you want to show off your eldest young master's prestige, please go elsewhere. You are not welcome here, and I don't want anything to happen.
People come to disturb my father’s heroic spirit out of selfish motives.”
These words could be said to be extremely rude. Cheng Xian did not expect that Luo Yan, who was usually gentle, could become so tyrannical when he was cold. With a wolf and a fox at his side, he did not dare to go too far and say harsh words.
Just walked back dejectedly
"Master, is this bad?" Zhang Yin, a servant who was relatively close to Luo Yan, came in with a bitter look, "Master, I can no longer protect you from now on. Master Cheng has a bad relationship with you. I can't tolerate anything."
Zeren, why are you competing with him? Aren't you the one who will suffer in the end?"
Luo Yan gave a wry smile, can you bear it? With Cheng Xian's temper, can you really bear it? He came out of the meeting and hurriedly ordered Zhang Yin: "Zhang Yin, you go to the sect master's hall immediately and tell the sect master that I want to move to the inner gate.
The disciples have unified their residence. You ask the sect leader to allocate some people to help distinguish between my father's personal belongings and the sect's public belongings. Take a shortcut and try to get ahead of Cheng Qian, and don't argue too obviously."
"Ah?" Zhang Yin opened his mouth in surprise, Master, why didn't you move just now?
"Ah, what? It's only natural for the new palace master to move in. I'm not the kind of ignorant person." Luo Yan rolled his eyes at him.
Ling'er rolled her eyes and snickered, "Young man, you're not fooled by being beaten, but you still know how to trick people! Oh~ I know this, and I'm upset. I'm taking it out on the mentally retarded young master!"
Ah Bu looked at Luo Yan in confusion, why are we moving? It's so spacious, elegant and comfortable here!
Not long after, a deacon who was following the sect master came over with a few people and said gently: "Actually, it will be a few days before the new master takes office. Master Luo doesn't have to be in such a hurry to move out. Master Cheng is not sensible, so don't worry about it."
"Come on, the sect leader has already told him." As he said that, he had no intention of leaving. Luo Yan twitched the corner of his mouth, and it turned out that he was leaving to cool down the tea! After saying some more scene-related words, Luo Yan packed up with everyone.
Come to the main hall
Ling'er felt that it was a pity that Cheng Xian was not punished, but Luo Yan did not expect that he could be punished just by this incident.
"The tiger fell down and was bullied by the dog!" A middle-aged scholar-looking man in the sect leader's hall poured a cup of tea for Zheng Yi and sighed.
Although this scholar is only a junior Lan Yuan, he is one of the best counselors around Zheng Yi, as is Zhang Jinsong.
Zheng Yi picked up the tea cup, sneered slightly, and said calmly: "Do you think that kid Luo Yan is simple?"
"Uh..." Zhang Jinsong blinked. He was good at planning things but not at home. He was really confused by some twists and turns.
Zheng Yi glanced at him and said with a faint smile: "Luo Yan's servants just came here to ask for someone and said they wanted to move, and Cheng Xian came here. Don't you think it's a coincidence?"
Zhang Jinsong also reacted and said tentatively: "You mean..."
Zheng Yi took a sip of tea and said: "Cheng went to humiliate Luo Yan first, but this is sowing trouble... Haha, I guess he was tricked by Luo Yan."
Zhang Jinsong took a long while and then sighed: "Never mind it, Master Luo died for the sect after all. His body is not yet cold, but Cheng Xian is... not honest!"
Zheng Yi looked into the distance with deep eyes and murmured: "Yes, it's unreasonable, but there is no eternal fairness in this world."
Zhang Jinsong frowned when he heard this, and said with some displeasure: "Why, the master of Luo Palace is dead, and you just let his orphan be bullied?"
Zheng Yi smiled bitterly: "Jingsong, your temper has not changed at all over the years! Remember, as a decision-maker at the top, emotions, morality, and everything must give way in the face of interests! Cheng Xian's grandfather, our inner
Gate Law Enforcement Elder,
His authority is no less than that of the great elder, and his strength is now at the upper level of Ziyuan. But what about Luo Yan? Apart from a father who died heroically and his not weak talent, what else does he have? Do you think I can reprimand or even scold him for such a trivial matter?
Shall we punish Cheng Xian?"
Zhang Jinsong hesitated, and after holding it in for a long time, he finally managed to say: "Anyway, it's unfair for you to do this! I'm afraid it's going to chill everyone's hearts."
In view of Luo Yan's special situation, the sect specially allocated a small courtyard for him, with a bedroom, study, living room, and a small wing. Outside the hall are two symmetrical flower gardens with a path in the middle. Although the location is remote, it is
Better than silence
Luo Yan felt that it was too lonely to live alone, so he called Yu Dou, who was also an orphan, and arranged for him to live in a wing. The two of them arranged their things for a whole day, and it was not until evening that Luo Yan left the original hall
Several pots of flowers planted by the father and son were transplanted into the flower bed
Yu Dou lit up the oil lamp and complained while cleaning the table: "The sect master really doesn't care. The people below will allocate you such a house. Look at the shabby house here. The furniture is half new. The window screen should have been there long ago."
Instead, the flower garden is so desolate that even the sparrows don’t come. Tomorrow I have to hire someone to fill in the gravel path in front of the door..."
"Okay, it would be nice to have some accommodation. I used to sleep in the Datong bunk outside and never heard you complain." Luo Yan said calmly while washing his hands.
"But that's what Palace Master Luo meant!" Yu Dou threw away the rag and said aggrievedly, "In the past, it was Palace Master Luo who wanted to train you, but now that Palace Master Luo is dead, this is how they treat the orphans of martyrs!"
Luo Yan paused, then whispered: "Let's go and have some tea..."
