No one expected that Bai Zijie would actually bow his head and admit his mistake to the deputy head.
If Bai Zijie had been willing to give in back then, the deputy head would have forgiven him at that time, how could he have ended up in today's situation?
As we all know, the deputy head is Bai Zijie's backstage, and he is more important than his own son.
There are even rumors that Bai Zijie is the illegitimate son of the deputy head.
Of course, these are all baseless speculations.
But it is not difficult to see from these rumors how important Bai Zijie is in the heart of the deputy head.
Back then, when Bai Zijie was poking fun at Lou Zi everywhere, the deputy head was always there to wipe his ass.
If Bai Zijie hadn't hurt the deputy head's heart later, he wouldn't have been in trouble at all.
Now that he was fine, Bai Zijie took the initiative to return to Xuanming Island, bowed his head to the deputy leader and admitted his mistake, and the two immediately settled their differences.
Tang Zhengfeng and others were dumbfounded. How could this be fun?
"Deputy head, my son is dead. This... we can't ignore this, right?"
Tang Zhengfeng said unwillingly.
"Which of your sons is dead?"
The deputy head asked rhetorically.
"Tang Tiantian! That is the leader of the young generation of Xuanming Island!"
Tang Zhengfeng started to cry.
"Oh? It's him. It's indeed a pity."
The deputy head groaned.
"Since he is dead, there is no room for redemption. Let's just give him a grand burial according to the highest standards of Xuanming Island."
The deputy head looked distressed.
"..."
Tang Zhengfeng and others were all stunned.
Is that all it takes to give a grand burial?
Bai Zijie no longer needs to be dealt with?
Isn't this too damn protective?
"Deputy leader, that's a genius on Xuanming Island, can't we just let it go? Shouldn't Bai Zijie be punished?"
Tang Zhengfeng was unconvinced and said.
Hearing this, the deputy head's face darkened and his eyes became much colder.
Without waiting for him to speak, Zhang Li rushed over and said, "Obviously it was Tang Tian who made the first move, but his skills are inferior to others. How can you blame Lao Bai?"
"Oh? Tang Tian did it first?"
The deputy head raised his eyebrows.
Then he looked at Tang Zhengfeng coldly, "Tang Zhengfeng, did you hear me clearly?"
An invisible desire to kill made Tang Zhengfeng breathless.
If he talks any more, I'm afraid he will have to go spend time with his son.
"It was my fault in discipline, please forgive me, Deputy Head."
Tang Zhengfeng knelt down quickly.
"In that case, give up your position as the tenth elder of the Tang family to someone with a bright mind."
The deputy head snorted coldly.
"..."
Tang Zhengfeng sat paralyzed on the ground, dumbfounded.
"Bai Zijie, come with me."
After handling this matter, the deputy head couldn't wait to take Bai Zijie away.
In Bai Zijie's memory, he did have a close relationship with the deputy head, no less than the relationship between father and son.
But Bai Zijie is indeed not the son of the deputy head.
Bai Zijie's mother was once the deputy head's dream lover and helped him save his life.
It's a pity that the two of them were destined to miss each other.
Not long after Bai Zijie was born, his parents died tragically in an accident, and the deputy head was equivalent to Bai Zijie's adoptive father.
And because the deputy head couldn't avenge Bai Zijie's mother, he always felt deep guilt in his heart, so he was especially kind to Bai Zijie.
The most egregious one was when Bai Zijie stole a magic weapon from the master to play with out of curiosity, and finally angered the master.
If the deputy head hadn't come forward to intercede, Bai Zijie would have been severely punished.
The deputy head's doting on Bai Zijie has gone too far.
"You have suffered a lot these years outside, right? Have you made any enemies?"
The deputy head took Bai Zijie to his Taoist palace to greet him.
"It's okay to endure hardship. There are indeed one or two enemies."
Qin Mo answered without thinking.
"Who offended you?"
The deputy head asked quickly.
"Jiuyan Sword Lord, I almost died in his hands."
"Jiuyan Sword Master of Yunhai Sect?"
The deputy head's face became a little more solemn.
"it's him."
Qin Mo nodded.
"How did you get into trouble with that guy? One of the four great sword masters of Yunhai Sect is indeed a bit tricky."
The deputy head lowered his head and pondered.
"It has nothing to do with Yunhai Sect. It's a conflict with Nine Swords Sect. It's nothing. I just competed for some resources and was chased by Nine Swords Sect."
Qin Mo shrugged.
"I wonder if the Nine Swords Sect will pursue them to Xuanming Island."
Qin Mo pretended to be worried.
"Nine Swords Gate?"
The deputy head was startled.
"Haha, I thought it was Yunhai Sect. How dare a mere Nine Swords Sect be so arrogant? If he dares to pursue him to Xuanming Island, I will make sure he never comes back."
Yunhai Sect's strength is naturally stronger than Xuanming Island.
But the Nine Swords Sect is only a second-rate sect, far from the "Three Mountains and Three Swords".
"They didn't hurt you, did they?"
The deputy head looked Qin Mo up and down.
"That's not true."
Qin Mo shook his head and smiled.
"By the way, I heard that several Fulong Sect disciples came to Xuanming Island recently. What happened?"
Qin Mo suddenly asked again.
"Are you talking about Li Donghuang and the others? They are here for the Guixu plan."
The deputy head did not hide this kind of secret.
"Return to the ruins plan? What is that?"
Qin Mo started to act stupid.
"Do you still remember that I told you about the immortal ruins before? The Return to Ruins plan is to find the immortal ruins."
The deputy head spoke frankly.
"Li Donghuang brought two people, saying that he was going to form the Five Elements Great Luotian Formation. There are still two people left. These two people have been confirmed, and they are both direct disciples of the leader.
However, there are still three places on Xuanming Island, and you can go to the Guixu Passage with them. Recently, the three major families have been in a quarrel over the allocation of places."
The deputy head shook his head and sighed.
"What's the fuss about this? Isn't it just a quota for each family?"
Qin Mo said matter-of-factly.
"That was the original plan, but the Bai family's talents are indeed withering. We can't blame the Zhou family and the Tang family for having evil thoughts."
Speaking of this, the deputy head suddenly brightened his eyes and looked at Bai Zijie, "But since you are back, do you want to compete for this spot?"
"Can I?"
Qin Mo was shocked and confused.
He also didn't expect that Li Donghuang's plan to return to the ruins would be like this.
What's more, he didn't expect that the deputy head would support him in competing for a seat in the Guixu plan.
"Of course. You are a disciple of the Bai family. As long as you are strong enough, no one can take away your qualifications."
The deputy head nodded and smiled.
"In this case, I am willing to give it a try."
Qin Mo simply couldn't ask for it.
It would be much easier to enter Guixu if Li Donghuang was there to clear the way.
"However, there is a little trouble now. Li Donghuang has a big say in the list of the Guixu plan. Now the relationship between the Zhou family, the Tang family and him are very good.
If you don't have the absolute strength to suppress the Zhou family and the Tang family, I'm afraid Li Donghuang won't give you this opportunity."
Li Donghuang was the initiator of the Guixu plan, and he was a bloodline of the Li family, so he held a high position in the hearts of the elders of Xuanming Island.
If you want to join the Guixu plan, you have to either please Li Donghuang, or suppress the Zhou family and Tang family and be selected through hard power.
For Qin Mo, he actually had no choice. It was impossible for him to please Li Donghuang.
Then, the only way is to completely defeat the Zhou family and the Tang family.
