Xiao Muyang looked at Shi Yao, smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for three months, and I miss my senior brother very much."
"Since I missed you, why did you wait until now?" Shi Yao looked at Xiao Muyang with a smile in his eyes, and his tone seemed to be a bit reproachful.
"It took a lot of time to resolve the matter in Beihu County, and we encountered trouble on the way here, otherwise we should have arrived long ago." Xiao Muyang explained.
"Trouble?" Shi Yao frowned, his expression seemed to become more solemn, and asked: "Is nothing wrong?"
"Nothing dangerous." Xiao Muyang replied.
"That's good." Shi Yao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Originally, I planned to go to Beihu County with you and then send you to Daqi Dynasty. This is the safest way, but senior brother disagrees."
"Why don't you agree?" Xiao Muyang looked a little confused.
"Those who achieve great things need to go through all kinds of hardships. Senior brother wants you to grow up alone." Shi Yao said solemnly, which made Xiao Muyang look stern. Is senior brother so strict?
Seeing the change in Xiao Muyang's face, Shi Yao suddenly laughed, patted Xiao Muyang's shoulder and said, "I'm just teasing you. I have something to come back to deal with, so I can't send you here."
"..." Xiao Muyang twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Senior brother is really good at joking."
"From now on, I will practice here with peace of mind. If I have any problems, I will go to the juniors. If they can't solve it, they will come to me. If I can't solve it, then I will go to my senior brother." Shi Yao said: "In a word, nothing big happened.
, don’t go looking for senior brother.”
Xiao Muyang's expression became strange. Is this you kidding him again?
"I'm not joking. Senior brother has a weird personality and doesn't like to be disturbed. Even I don't dare to go to him easily." Shi Yao said seriously as if he knew what Xiao Muyang was thinking.
Seeing that Shi Yao's expression didn't look like he was joking, Xiao Muyang's eyes suddenly narrowed and he asked: "Senior brother, is this his natural character?"
"Senior brother was not like this before. Something happened more than 20 years ago. After that, senior brother's character changed." Shi Yao replied.
A strange color flashed in Xiao Muyang's eyes, and he was about to say something, but at this moment Shi Yao said first: "Don't ask me what happened. I'm afraid I will be scolded to death by my senior brother if I tell you."
"Okay." Xiao Muyang smiled bitterly and nodded. He could see that Shi Yao really didn't dare to say anything and didn't hide it from him on purpose.
At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Xiao Muyang's mind, and he asked: "Is that incident related to the changes in Liuxian Pavilion?"
"Yes." Shi Yao replied directly.
Xiao Muyang nodded lightly. It seemed that his guess was correct. The incident more than 20 years ago changed the senior brother's personality drastically, which made Liuxian Pavilion's recruitment standards extremely harsh. It also made Liuxian Pavilion become a
The 'alternative' of Jiuda Pavilion.
"I have only said these words to you. I have not mentioned anything about other disciples. You should not spread the word, otherwise senior brother will cause trouble for me." Shi Yao solemnly warned.
"Don't worry, senior brother, I will keep it a secret." Xiao Muyang nodded seriously. That incident changed senior brother's personality drastically. Senior brother Shi also kept it secret. Naturally, he couldn't mention it to others, and he didn't know anything about it.
many.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the place where you live." Shi Yao said with a smile on his face again.
"My senior sister and an elder are still outside. Can we bring them in together?" Xiao Muyang asked.
"Chu Qingli is here too?" Shi Yao looked very surprised. He saw the Donghua Banquet and naturally knew the relationship between Chu Qingli and Xiao Muyang.
Xiao Muyang's eyes showed a trace of doubt. Since the senior brother knew that he was in Donghua Mansion, how could he not know that the ninth senior sister was also there? However, judging from Shi Yao's reaction at this moment, the senior brother did not seem to have the idea of letting the ninth senior sister join the Taihua Dao Sect.
At the Donghua Banquet, Shi Yao only asked him to come to Taihua Daozong, but did not mention letting Ninth Senior Sister come over. What did the senior brother mean by this move?
"No, he only asked me to pass the news to you." Shi Yao replied. Xiao Muyang's face darkened a little when he heard this, and his mood became a little complicated.
Seeing Xiao Muyang's face, Shi Yao vaguely guessed something and asked, "Is Chu Qingli also a fellow disciple of yours?"
"Yes." Xiao Muyang nodded, and then said: "Senior Brother Shi, I want to see Senior Brother, can you take me there?"
A deep meaning flashed in Shi Yao's eyes, knowing that Xiao Muyang wanted to ask his senior brother in person. If he didn't take him there, I'm afraid he would always think about this matter.
"I can take you to see senior brother, but I can't guarantee that senior brother will definitely meet you. It depends on his mood." Shi Yao replied.
"Okay, senior brother, I have time to spare." Xiao Muyang thanked him.
"It takes a little effort." Shi Yao waved his hand and said, "Come with me."
Then Shi Yao took Xiao Muyang away from here. Many thoughts flashed through Xiao Muyang's mind on the way. He was wondering why his senior brother deliberately ignored Ninth Senior Sister. Is this his own idea or the master's arrangement?
And whether the senior brother is willing to see him? If he sees the senior brother, what tone should he use to ask?
Just as Xiao Muyang was thinking, the two of them arrived outside a large hall. Shi Yao stopped and said, "We're here."
Xiao Muyang trembled in his heart and looked towards the main hall in front of him. Is this where the senior brother lives?
"Brother, Junior Brother Xiao wants to see you." Shi Yao said to the main hall.
"Come in." A moment later, a voice came from inside the hall. There was no emotion in the voice, and the joy or anger of the speaker could not be heard.
Xiao Muyang felt a little nervous when he heard this voice, but then he mustered up his courage and walked towards the main hall ahead.
Shi Yao watched Xiao Muyang go in, with a hint of expectation in his heart. He hoped that the arrival of Junior Brother Xiao would restore his character to what it used to be. More than twenty years later, it was time for Senior Brother to come out.
After Xiao Muyang walked into the hall, he looked forward and saw a figure reclining on the throne. His face was covered by a head of disheveled black hair. He looked very slovenly, as if he had not been washed for a long time.
If anyone else were here, they would definitely be shocked that the master of Liuxian Pavilion turned out to be such a slovenly person.
At this moment, Xiao Muyang was filled with surprise. He had never imagined that his senior brother would look like this. It was really hard to believe.
Soon Xiao Muyang regained his inner peace, bowed his hands to the figure in front of him and said, "I've met my senior brother."
"Practice well when you come here. If you don't understand anything, ask Shiyao." A voice came from the front, still without any emotion.
"Senior Brother Shi can't answer my doubts, so I came to ask Senior Brother." Xiao Muyang said.
"What doubts?" came another voice.
"Senior Brother, why don't you let Ninth Senior Sister enter Taihua Dao Sect?" Xiao Muyang asked in a deep voice, looking straight at the figure in front of him. No matter what the outcome is today, he must ask clearly!
[The author has something to say]
Some readers commented on why Sister Ninth did not join the Taihua Taoist Sect. After reading the following chapters, they will understand. The foreshadowing from a long time ago is gradually coming to light. I wonder if everyone still remembers it.
