The dicine Immortal Old Man was naturally conflicted; he was different from Gu Changsheng!
Gu Changsheng took the monk path halfway through his life. Even if he apprenticed under him, he couldn’t truly be considered part of the Hidden World Clan, and he didn’t feel much of a sense of belonging to it. But it was different for him; he was born into the Hidden World Clan, and now he’s one of its elders.
Gu Changsheng, after all, wiped out the Dugu Clan, ruthlessly trampling on the pride of the Hidden World Clan!
"Sigh!"
The dicine Immortal Old Man looked at the woman sleeping like a dead pig on the bed, shook his head helplessly, and sighed, "Indeed, youth is good, full of vigor. Just a sha that this old man must clean up after you..."
With that, the dicine Immortal Old Man shook his head, sighed, and walked out of the room.
"Senior, where are you going?"
Upon seeing this, Borjigin Nian quickly asked.
"I’m taking a stroll around where the Hidden World Clan resides, to tell them that this old man is back, so they better think twice before bullying my disciple..."
The dicine Immortal Old Man didn’t even turn his head as he left this remark and disappeared from everyone’s sight.
He had to visit the Hidden World Clan and let them know that his unworthy disciple’s master was back, so they wouldn’t think his disciple was easy to bully and end up tornting him!
Protecting his disciple? So be it!
Who knew it would be so hard for dicine King Valley to find an heir?
Sigh!
The more he thought about it, the more headache the dicine Immortal Old Man got. This disciple truly was a magnet for trouble, and when trouble ca, it was always a big deal!
Look how agitated the other noble families got because of it; they even released their guard dogs, hoping to bite his disciple hard in the arena tomorrow!
Borjigin Nian was lying by the door, watching the resolute departing figure of the dicine Immortal Old Man, her eyes shining with admiration and slight jealousy, she couldn’t help but say, "Having a master who protects his disciple like that is truly wonderful! I also want a master like that..."
"If my master hears you say that, he’d surely be upset..." Zhou Mu erged from the inner room, closed the curtain, and upon hearing Borjigin Nian’s words, glanced at her and spoke up imdiately.
Upon hearing this, Borjigin Nian instantly fell silent, not daring to speak again!
Gu Changsheng’s master was indeed good, but her own master and her brother’s master were also not bad, they just didn’t care much about them...
That night, the entire Linyuan City was suffused with an atmosphere of impending stormy weather. Especially after an alarm rang out from the City Lord’s Mansion, everything returned to silence once more, but people slept less soundly.
They all knew that tomorrow would be the semifinals of the Nirvana Martial Contest, and the person truly qualified to compete for the title of First in the contest would be born tomorrow...
"Husband, do you think the Southern Emperor will participate in tomorrow’s contest?"
In a residential bedroom, a woman patted her man’s shoulder and asked.
"Hard to say; even if he participates, he would lose. Given the vengeful nature of the Hidden World Clan, they’ve dispatched a Master of the Primordial Transformative Realm, who knows what kind of impression they’ll plan to make on the Southern Emperor. If it were , I definitely wouldn’t go and humiliate myself..." The man, still drowsy, replied.
That night, many were focused on the upcoming Nirvana Martial Contest. Gu Changsheng didn’t know this, as she slept deeply, more at peace than anyone else.
She slept soundly, but those of the Hidden World Clan didn’t rest so easily, especially after seeing that old beggar who appeared in their room nonchalantly, as if it were his own bedroom, make a round and then leave, spurring the Hidden World Clan elders to fury!
"Wu Xi! That brat Wu Xi is back!"
"He has the nerve to co back! Taking in such a disciple and bringing disaster to our Hidden World Clan, he dares to shalessly return!"
"That troublemaker! Just a sinner to the Hidden World Clan!"
"@#%￥%..."
After the dicine Immortal Old Man swaggered away, the elders of the Hidden World Clan imdiately began cursing.
But that’s all they could do...
Discontent with Wu Xi was one thing, but to actually confront the dicine Immortal Old Man, that was sothing else entirely!
Not to ntion his status as the dicine Immortal, as if he held their lifeblood, at any ti they might seek his help, but just his identity as a Master of the Primordial Transformative Realm made everyone angry yet silent...
The dicine Immortal Old Man was through and through the most deeply experienced Master of the Primordial Transformative Realm within the Hidden World Clan!
Don’t judge him by his age, he truly was a Prival Master, and they stood no chance against a Master of the Primordial Transformative Realm!
Therefore, after gritting their teeth, all they could do was curse a few words toward the dicine Immortal Old Man’s retreating figure, just to vent...
What else could they do?
They couldn’t defeat him!
It would also be unwise to deeply offend him!
What can they do?
Really...
In no ti, the elders of the Hidden World Clan began to ponder over the purpose of the dicine Immortal Old Man’s visit.
What was the aning of his late-night visit to their bedroom?
Showing off?
The perplexed elders of the Hidden World Clan couldn’t sleep.
So, they all got up and held a eting. After much discussion, everyone finally analyzed the dicine Immortal Old Man’s intention!
"So, he has not only taken in soone who brings disaster to our Hidden World Clan but also cos to support her?" Elder Yuh slamd the table in rage.
"Absolutely outrageous! How could there be an elder in our Hidden World Clan who disregards the bigger picture? We must strip him of his elder position! Definitely strip him of his elder position!"
"Stripping him of his elder position is tantamount to removing dicine King Valley from the Hidden World Clan..."
Everyone imdiately quieted down...
The Hidden World Clan cannot do without the renowned dicine King Valley because that would be a trendous loss for them overall. Indeed, this is sothing that makes them stomp with rage!
"Protecting a rogue disciple and deceiving our Hidden World Clan, does he actually justify it? I’ve never seen such a shaless person before!"
"Truly shielding the troublemaker! Truly unreasonable!"
"If he dares, he should go and flaunt in Master Miao Wu’s bedroom, why co to ours to act tough? Who is he trying to scare?"
Evidently, everyone present knew about the unspeakable history between the dicine Immortal Old Man and Master Miao Wu, hence, during this midnight gathering, absenting Master Miao Wu made everyone imdiately comprehend!
The dicine Immortal Old Man dared not stroll into Master Miao Wu’s bedroom, so he rely took a stroll in theirs!
This was indirectly telling them: Who’s Who, when your kid bullies my disciple, be careful. Otherwise, I might pop into your bedroom occasionally to play ghost at midnight!
The threat!
If they still had the strength of a Master of the Primordial Transformative Realm, they wouldn’t put up with such bully!
However, at this mont, they truly found themselves helpless!
It really is true that like master, like disciple. So infuriating!
The elders of the Hidden World Clan were all blowing their whiskers and glaring while the dicine Immortal Old Man was situated on the rooftop of Old Madam Zuoqiu, sighing endlessly!
In this world, if there’s anyone the dicine Immortal Old Man could least face, it must be Old Madam Zuoqiu!
In his youth, caught in a rash passion, he eloped with his beloved, and this departure lasted for decades. When he looked back, his love had passed, and the elders of his past had waited till their hair turned white...
Past events, Wu Xi couldn’t bear to recall, but upon hearing today that Old Madam Zuoqiu went to great lengths, even at the cost of betraying the interests of the Hidden World Clan, to protect her disciple, there’s no denying, Wu Xi was moved yet felt ashad...
So after strolling through the bedrooms of other elders in the Hidden World Clan, thinking he’d exerted his influence sufficiently, the dicine Immortal Old Man Wu Xi crouched on Old Madam Zuoqiu’s rooftop and began his endless sighing...
The night was endless, the dicine Immortal Old Man gazed up at the bright moon, his figure emitting a sense of poetic despondency...
But, this poetic aura didn’t last long. The inn that Old Madam Zuoqiu had taken all of a sudden lit up, and the dicine Immortal Old Man glanced beneath and saw many people already gathered in the courtyard...
Old Madam Zuoqiu led the way, gripping the Dragon Head Cane standing in front, under the lantern’s haze, at the rooftop Wu Xi, her teeth gritted furiously!
With a gesture, Old Madam Zuoqiu addressed the young girl behind her, "Manman dearie, fetch that rascal climbing Grandma’s rooftop down for ! Grandma wants to see what this scoundrel is stealing again today!"
Saying this, she pointed with her Dragon Head Cane towards the rooftop!
Coincidentally, the cane was aid right at the squatting dicine Immortal Old Man...
Suddenly being picked, Zhuge Manman who accompanied Zuoqiu Yuanyuan was stunned, raised a hand sowhat hesitantly and pointed at himself, "Huh? Great-grand-grandma, you want to go?"
"I an you, who else has the ability to bring him down?" Grandma Zuoqiu glanced at Zhuge Manman, confidently saying, "Go boldly, Grandma is here granting him ten tis the courage; he doesn’t dare fight back! Even if he does, you’re an Initial Realm Master, won’t actually let him beat you, right?"
"Er... alright then..." Hearing this, Zhuge Manman, despite his slightly childish delicate face, showed signs of hesitation. After a slight pause, he tapped his toes on the ground, and with an odd step soon bounced straight up onto the rooftop using a Vertical Cloud Ladder, paused in front of the dicine Immortal Old Man, and said, "Apologies senior, Manman isn’t yet married, so can’t offend the in-laws, can only offend you!"
In the next instant, Zhuge Manman seized the mont while the dicine Immortal Old Man was off-guard, stretched his hand out and hoisted the old man up...
Just as he hoisted him!
He genuinely hoisted him, without the slightest bit of fraud!
"Bang!"
