If Zeng Shushu wasn't by my side, otherwise I would have hurled a few curses at him!
What level of stuff are you to even be worthy of it?
Xiao Yicai said solemnly, "I don't know anything about Junior Sister Lu either. Let's go to Yuqing Hall first!"
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yicai led Li Xun quickly toward the Yuqing Palace.
At this moment, inside the Yuqing Hall.
Dao Xuan, in his high position, pondered the meaning behind Yun Yilan's letter.
The letter that Yun Yilan asked Li Xun to deliver only said that there might be a major disaster in the Southern Frontier, and that he needed to discuss important matters with the Qingyun Sect.
The rest, they didn't say a word.
Helpless, Dao Xuan could only guess at a reply, saying things like "good people are always blessed by heaven," and "the Fenxiang Valley's thousand-year foundation will surely turn misfortune into good fortune."
Anyway, they never offered to help, and just kept passing the buck.
Unexpectedly, Yun Yilan actually sent Li Xun in person.
What does this mean?
Soon, Xiao Yicai brought Li Xun to the Yuqing Palace.
The heads of the seven lineages were all present in the hall, but the seat for the eighth lineage was still vacant.
Zeng Shuchang and others often lamented that without Li Qing'an, the Qingyun Sect had lost some of its charm.
Xiao Yicai stepped forward and said to Dao Xuan Zhenren, "Master, Senior Brother Li Xun from Fenxiang Valley has arrived!"
Dao Xuan looked over, and Li Xun quickly straightened his posture and bowed, saying:
"Junior Li Xun of Fenxiang Valley pays respects to Dao Xuan Zhenren."
As Li Xun bent down, he caught a glimpse of the empty seat out of the corner of his eye and immediately realized that it was Li Qing'an's seat.
Seeing that Li Qing'an was not there, and now that he had the letters from the two factions seeking marriage, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief and pride.
Dao Xuan smiled and said, "Nephew Li Xun, please rise!"
Li Xun stood up, then bowed to the people around him and said, "Junior Li Xun greets all the senior masters and uncles of Qingyun."
Tian Buyi and the others, who were still unaware of their purpose, smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.
...Dao Xuan's question (divider)...
Dao Xuan took the envelope written by Yun Yilan and delivered by Li Xun. After pondering for a moment, he tore open the seal, took out a thin piece of paper, and read it from beginning to end.
This was alarming; from the first line to the last, Dao Xuan's heart sank deeper and deeper.
What the hell are we doing here?
Do you think you can just find a few excuses to break up the couple that Qingyun Sect has the highest hopes for?
Such a big face?
They even claimed that Li Qingan and Lu Xueqi were not of the same generation, and that Li Qingan might be colluding with the Demonic Sect...
Dao Xuan's head was getting more and more ache as he read the letter. What if Li Qing'an saw it?
If he hadn't refused immediately, Li Qing'an would definitely have come all the way from Tianzhen Peak to Tongtian Peak to find him with the Wangxian sword.
However, it's really not convenient for him to refuse openly right now.
First, this is just an intention, it hasn't been put forward yet. If he were to speak first, wouldn't that be a step down?
Secondly, how does a sect leader make decisions regarding matters of love and romance between men and women?
Third, and most importantly, Yun Yilan said he would be coming to Qingyun Sect to discuss important matters. As the sect leader, he couldn't possibly embarrass Fenxiang Valley like that; waiting for Yun Yilan to arrive would be the best course of action.
Therefore, Dao Xuan weighed the pros and cons and decided to temporarily suppress the news and not express his opinion.
Li Qingan: Fine, you just wait...
It was just as Daoxuan was reading the letter.
Li Xun also looked at Dao Xuan cautiously, feeling somewhat uneasy.
He knew that Li Qingan and Lu Xueqi had an unusual relationship, and that they might even have discussed marriage.
But he was unwilling to give up. When he told Yun Yilan about Lu Xueqi, he only told her half and kept half of it hidden.
He was afraid that Yun Yilan would disagree, and that his master would lose face!
Li Xun felt: I'm such a grown man, and I've even broken through to a higher realm, so a little bit of face doesn't matter.
He was surprised to see that Dao Xuan did not immediately object.
Could it be... that Li Qing'an and the others haven't reached that point yet?
Or perhaps Li Qingan's strength threatens Dao Xuan; or perhaps Li Qingan is indeed colluding with the Demonic Sect.
That's why we have the current situation.
Li Xun's mind raced, trying to figure out where he could take advantage of the situation.
However, after thinking for a long time, he still decided that the only way to proceed was to exploit Li Qing'an's collusion with the Demonic Sect, taking into account the seniority relationship between Li Qing'an and Lu Xueqi.
Dao Xuan pondered for a long time, unsure of how to begin, and then glanced at Shui Yue.
Shuiyue seemed to sense something and frowned.
Dao Xuan withdrew his gaze and looked down at Li Xun, saying:
"Nephew Li, your master wrote that he will arrive in the Central Plains in three days at most. Until then, you should stay in Qingyun!"
“Yicai, you have a lot of contact with your nephew Li Xun, so why don’t you take him around Qingyun Sect?”
Xiao Yicai stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Yes!"
After a while, Xiao Yicai led Li Xun away.
Seeing that there were no outsiders present, Dao Xuan frowned and looked at the people around him, saying:
"Yun Yilan's departure from the Southern Frontier with his disciples this time is probably for another reason."
Tian Buyi, who was in charge of some internal affairs, said, "A few days ago, a disciple wrote to me saying that a large number of people from the Southern Frontier have come to the Central Plains with their families, as if there were a flood or ferocious beasts behind them!"
"When the disciples inquired, the people also said that there had been a great change in the southern border region, and that their great shaman had given them instructions to leave the southern border region and find a safe place!"
Zeng Shuchang and the others looked at each other and said in succession, "It seems that Fenxiang Valley has come here to seek refuge."
"Yun Yilan has just emerged from seclusion and is already acting like this; he has no sense of righteousness whatsoever."
"Fellow disciples, please be careful with your words!"
Dao Xuan shook his head, looking somewhat worried: "I'm not worried about this matter. What I'm worried about is that Yun Yilan seems to want to ask for Li Xun to marry Lu Xueqi of Xiaozhu Peak."
"what?"
Upon hearing this bombshell news, everyone present frowned.
Shuiyue, in particular, has a pair of almond-shaped eyes that are both piercing and oppressive.
She looked at Dao Xuan and said bluntly, "I disagree! If you insist on agreeing, then first resign as the head of Xiaozhu Peak, and then talk to Li Qing'an and Xue Qi yourself!"
She believes that Dao Xuan's failure to refuse outright suggests he might have some reservations.
But how could she, who was like a mother to Lu Xueqi, agree to such a thing?
She understands Lu Xueqi, and she also understands Li Qingan.
Seeing the strong reaction from the crowd, Dao Xuan was about to explain.
Unexpectedly, after saying this, Shuiyue didn't listen to Daoxuan say anything more and turned to leave.
Dao Xuan was taken aback, feeling even more helpless. He looked up and was about to call Shui Yue back, wanting to explain things clearly.
Chapter 240 All the Chiefs: Senior Brother, we will not agree to this!
After Shuiyue finished venting and left.
Tian Buyi, who had been handling internal affairs these days, also spoke up.
"Senior brother, I disagree as well."
"I don't care what you think or what you want to say. If you want us to agree to this, first resign as the chief of Dazhu Peak!"
After Tian Buyi finished speaking, he left directly.
"not me..."
Dao Xuan was taken aback. Realizing he had been misunderstood, he became angry and was about to slam his fist on the table to call the others back.
Unexpectedly, it was interrupted again!
Zeng Shuchang spoke up again: "Senior brother, even if you slam your fist on the table, it won't work. We will not agree to this."
After Zeng Shuchang finished speaking, he looked at the other chief members, who all nodded in agreement.
"Furthermore, you'd better start thinking about how to explain this to Junior Brother Li!"
Zeng Shuchang and the others snorted and left.
Dao Xuan was left alone in the Jade Purity Hall, dumbfounded.
This scene has never occurred since he became the head of the Qingyun Sect.
I never expected it to happen today.
Dao Xuan cursed inwardly. If he really had that idea, then so be it.
But he really didn't have that idea; he was just thinking about maximizing his profits and dragging things out for now.
Once Yun Yilan arrives and we get accurate information about Southern Xinjiang from him, it's the same as refusing, it's just a little later.
It shouldn't be that bad!
The news that the six sect leaders left the Jade Purity Hall in displeasure, seemingly having a conflict with the sect leader, was spread throughout the entire Qingyun Sect within a day by those with ulterior motives.
In particular, there are rumors that...
Li Xun from Burning Incense Valley came to propose to Lu Xueqi from Little Bamboo Peak. The six sect leaders all refused, but the sect leader agreed. This news quietly spread.
And the source of all this was naturally Zeng Shushu, a good friend of Li Qing'an.
