“Who are you calling?”
In the hall sat Duan Yingying. Seeing Wan Yunting return after his call, Gu Luotang, Qi Miaomiao, Zhou Ruoxi, Master Yun Bai, and Yang Jingyi all looked at him. Wan Yunting shook his head slightly and said, “Calling a friend to come over.”
Qi Miaomiao asked, “What kind of friend?”
Wan Yunting waved his hand and said, “This Divine Sword Sect makes me feel more and more suspicious!”
His words caused Zhou Ruoxi, Yang Jingyi, and Master Yun Bai to exchange glances. Gu Luotang looked at the man and asked, “You think they did it on purpose?”
Wan Yunting nodded and said, “Those few disciples just now, especially the one named Jian Feng, their martial arts are very strong. Their martial arts realm is probably not beneath mine!”
“So powerful?”
Duan Yingying and Qi Miaomiao were shocked. Yang Jingyi and Master Yun Bai nodded, “The overall strength of the Divine Sword Sect disciples is not simple.”
Zhou Ruoxi’s delicate eyebrows furrowed. She said to Wan Yunting, “I feel like that person is targeting you!”
Wan Yunting looked up at her and said, “You feel that way too?”
Zhou Ruoxi nodded and said, “Since you appeared, Jian Feng’s eyes have been wrong. He seems very interested in you!”
“It’s not strange.”
Duan Yingying said, “After all, he’s rumored to be invincible, a martial arts prodigy. Others probably want to challenge him and snatch his title as a martial arts prodigy.”
“Mm, Yingying’s words are not unreasonable.” Yang Jingyi nodded, and Gu Luotang and the others felt the same.
But Zhou Ruoxi shook her head and said, “But I always feel that they are not that simple!”
Qi Miaomiao glanced at her sideways and said, “You’re overthinking it.”
Gu Luotang, sitting beside her, turned her head and glared at Qi Miaomiao slightly, signaling her not to argue.
Yang Jingyi turned to Master Yun Bai and said, “Alright, Junior Sister Yun Bai, you and Ruoxi should go back and rest.”
Master Yun Bai nodded and stood up. Zhou Ruoxi also had to get up and said, “Then we’ll be leaving now.”
Wan Yunting also stood up and said, “I’ll go find Sect Leader Zhong, I’ll see you out.”
“I’ll go with you…”
Duan Yingying and Qi Miaomiao immediately stood up to follow, but Wan Yunting waved them off, “I’m going to talk to Sect Leader Zhong about important matters…”
“Miaomiao, don’t make trouble.” Gu Luotang also stopped Qi Miaomiao, and Yang Jingyi stopped Duan Yingying…
Wan Yunting escorted Zhou Ruoxi and Master Yun Bai out together. They left the small courtyard, and Zhou Ruoxi said, “I’ll go with you to see Sect Leader Zhong.”
Wan Yunting looked at Master Yun Bai, and she smiled and nodded, “You two go ahead.”
Wan Yunting and Zhou Ruoxi nodded. After seeing Master Yun Bai back, they walked towards a large courtyard about a hundred meters ahead, which was the residence of the Wudang Sect Leader…
“Tomorrow is the Mount Hua Sword Debate. Are you participating in the competition too?” Zhou Ruoxi asked as she walked beside the man.
Wan Yunting nodded and smiled, “I represent the Wuliang Daoist Temple, so of course, I have to participate.”
Zhou Ruoxi raised her eyebrows and said, “That Jian Feng from the Divine Sword Sect is clearly targeting you!”
Wan Yunting smiled, then suddenly said, “For some reason, I feel a sense of familiarity with that person, as if I know him!”
“Oh?”
Zhou Ruoxi’s pretty face showed surprise. She looked at the man with confusion, “Do you know him from before?”
Wan Yunting shook his head and raised his eyebrows, “It’s just a feeling, like I know him, but he’s also very strange, so I called a friend just now to have a look!”
Zhou Ruoxi nodded and said, “In short, if you really meet him at the Mount Hua Sword Debate tomorrow, you need to be careful!”
Wan Yunting turned his head to look at the woman with a beautiful profile. Seeing that there was no one around, he took Zhou Ruoxi’s jade hand and smiled, “Don’t worry, I’m very powerful now.”
Zhou Ruoxi glanced at him with her autumn eyes, broke free from his hand, and snorted, “I think your relationship with that Qi Miaomiao and Duan Yingying seems unusual!”
“Ahem…”
Wan Yunting was embarrassed. He suddenly smiled and said, “Why don’t you go back and rest, Ruoxi? I’ll go find Sect Leader Zhong alone…”
“Yunting, you bastard…”
Zhou Ruoxi saw his reaction and knew her guess was right. She angrily chased after him to hit him. Unexpectedly, Wan Yunting’s phone rang. It was Lu Xiaodie calling. She said, “Little brother, Senior Sister Zheng and I have arrived at the Mount Hua Sect, but we can’t enter the inner sect.”
Wan Yunting tightly grasped Zhou Ruoxi’s jade hand and said to Lu Xiaodie, “Then Sister Lu, you and Senior Sister Zheng can stay outside. I’ll come find you when I’m done.”
“Okay, I’ll arrange accommodation outside first and send you a message when it’s done.”
“Alright, that’s all for now…”
Wan Yunting hung up the phone. Seeing Zhou Ruoxi’s resentful and angry expression, he quickly pointed to the main entrance of the courtyard ahead, “We’re here, we need to find Sect Leader Zhong to discuss important matters first…”
At this time, in the courtyard living room, Zhong Yulong, Elder Zuo Qi, Xian Yun, Qi Xiu, and other disciples were present. At the same time, the sect leader of the Mount Hua Sect, Shi Yizhen, was also there. He explained the conflict that had just occurred between the disciples of the Divine Sword Sect and his own disciples to Zhong Yulong…
Shi Yizhen’s old face was gloomy, and he said, “Those people from the Divine Sword Sect are too much. Their sect leader is excessive, and their disciples are even more so. Not only did they injure my disciples, but they also gave me a look of disdain right in front of me. They simply don’t take me, the sect leader of the Mount Hua Sect, seriously…”
“Sect Leader Shi, please calm your anger first…”
Elder Zuo Qi waved his hand, letting Xian Yun pour tea for Shi Yizhen, and said, “The Divine Sword Sect’s actions are indeed inappropriate. Sect Leader Shi doesn’t need to lower himself to their level.”
Shi Yizhen spread his hands and said angrily, “Elder Zuo Qi speaks lightly. How can I not be angry? Their Divine Sword Sect has provoked us repeatedly. Now, Sect Leader Li of the Xingyi Sect and my disciples are still lying in bed. Is Sect Leader Zhong going to ignore this?”
Elder Zuo Qi waved his hand and smiled, “Sect Leader Shi, what are you saying? How can our sect leader not care?”
Shi Yizhen stood up and said to Zhong Yulong, “Sect Leader Zhong, you must intervene in this matter and talk to the sect leader of the Divine Sword Sect. You absolutely cannot let him be so overbearing and arrogant anymore.”
Zhong Yulong’s old face was amiable, and he smiled, “Sect Leader Shi, don’t worry. I’ll go talk to Sect Leader Yan later.”
Shi Yizhen nodded and said, “Sect Leader Zhong, you must talk to him properly. You absolutely cannot let him act so unreasonably. It’s truly too much.”
Zhong Yulong nodded and asked Zuo Qi to escort Sect Leader Shi out…
After Shi Yizhen left, Xian Yun said, “Master, Sect Leader Yan of the Divine Sword Sect is not simple!”
Second Senior Brother Qi Xiu was taken aback and said, “Senior Brother, are you worrying too much? Do you mean that Master is not a match for Yan Chang Jian?”
Xian Yun shook his head and said, “I’m not referring to that, but rather that the Divine Sword Sect’s actions seem to have a purpose!”
“A purpose?”
These words caused Qi Xiu, Third Senior Sister Xu Yuxin, Huo Fei, and Chong Ling’er to look stunned, somewhat confused about what their Senior Brother meant.
At this moment, Elder Zuo Qi returned after escorting Sect Leader Shi out, but he also brought Wan Yunting and Zhou Ruoxi with him, saying, “Sect Leader, Sect Leader Wan Guan and Sect Leader Zhou are here.”
Xian Yun and Qi Xiu and the others stopped their conversation when they saw Wan Yunting and Zhou Ruoxi enter. Zhong Yulong smiled and said, “Sect Leader Wan Guan and Sect Leader Zhou, please be seated.”
“Thank you, Sect Leader Zhong…”
Wan Yunting and Zhou Ruoxi bowed slightly to Zhong Yulong before sitting in the chairs opposite them. Elder Zuo Qi asked, “Sect Leader Wan Guan, you are visiting to discuss uniting the major sects to resist the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult, aren’t you?”
Wan Yunting saw that Xian Yun, Chong Ling’er, and the others were present, but he did not see Senior Sister Zi Qing and the mother-daughter pair Lan Xin. He nodded and smiled at Zhong Yulong and Elder Zuo Qi, “Exactly.”
Zhong Yulong nodded and smiled, “Uniting the major sects is, as Sect Leader Wan Guan has seen, by no means easy.”
Zhou Ruoxi raised her eyebrows and said, “But Sect Leader Zhong, you are the president of the Martial Arts Association…”
Xian Yun smiled and said, “Sect Leader Zhou, my master is indeed the president, but which of the major sects today will listen to my master?”
Qi Xiu also said, “Exactly. The sect leaders of those sects are all shrewd individuals who only think of their own interests. How can they possibly unite to resist the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult?”
Zhou Ruoxi said, “But the Main God of the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult has stepped foot in China, and they will definitely settle accounts with them one by one. Do you want to see that kind of situation, Sect Leader Zhong?”
Xian Yun smiled and looked at Wan Yunting, saying, “Wan Yunting’s grievances with the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult are not just because of Sima Boyong, are they?”
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Ruoxi’s expression was startled. She turned to look at Wan Yunting sitting beside her. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he met Xian Yun’s gaze. Knowing that the other party had guessed something, he smiled and said, “Back in Country H, I completely fell out with the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult. We can be considered to have personal enmity!”
Xian Yun looked at him and smiled, “Is that all? Is there no other reason?”
Wan Yunting did not avoid Xian Yun’s gaze and countered with a smile, “What reason do you think it is?”
“Alright, Xian Yun.”
Zhong Yulong interrupted him and said to Wan Yunting with a smile, “Sect Leader Wan Guan, you don’t need to worry. After the Martial Arts Convention ends, I will convene a meeting of the leaders of the major sects to organize everyone to find a way to deal with the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult.”
Wan Yunting nodded, stood up, cupped his fists in greeting to Zhong Yulong, and smiled, “With Sect Leader Zhong’s words, I am relieved. Sect Leader Zhou, let’s go back.”
Zhou Ruoxi also got up, bowed slightly to Zhong Yulong and Elder Zuo Qi, and turned to leave.
“Qi Xiu, escort Sect Leader Wan Guan and Sect Leader Zhou.”
Elder Zuo Qi asked Qi Xiu to see them out. Wan Yunting smiled and nodded, taking Zhou Ruoxi away directly…
Zuo Qi turned to look at Zhong Yulong and said, “This Sect Leader Wan Guan is very enthusiastic about uniting the major sects to resist the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult. There’s something abnormal about it!”
Xian Yun nodded and said, “Uncle-Master Zuo Qi is right. His grievances with the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult are definitely not just because of Sima Boyong. Perhaps there are unknown matters between them!”
Xu Yuxin, Huo Fei, and Chong Ling’er nodded, agreeing with their Senior Brother. After all, Wan Yunting was too proactive in uniting the major sects to resist the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult, which was somewhat abnormal!
“Alright, stop guessing.”
Zhong Yulong stopped them and stood up with a smile, saying, “Uniting the major sects to resist the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult is inherently the business of our righteous martial arts path. The reason Sect Leader Wan Guan is so proactive is precisely because he has a sense of justice. Being proactive is normal.”
These words caused Xian Yun, Xu Yuxin, and the others to nod, but they inwardly believed that behind Wan Yunting and the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult, there were definitely unknown grievances!
