Watching Zhuge Qing get up and walk into the old Celestial Master's room.
Zhang Chulan nodded silently. Zhuge Qing was self-aware enough to know that his looks were still two points inferior to his own.
Lu Xuan nodded. Zhang Chulan might have been putting on an act, but his skin was definitely thicker than his own.
Wang Ye got up from the ground, looked at the cards in his hand, and nodded.
No wonder Zhuge Qing is so generous.
The highest card in my hand is a Queen, what a terrible hand!
Upon entering the room, Zhuge Qing performed a proper bow.
"Old Celestial Master, you're still not resting so late!"
Can you change a line?
The old celestial master looked into the courtyard.
Just now, Wang Ye broke the window of the room, and by the moonlight, the Old Master could see the cards in Wang Ye's hand directly.
Is the highest card in Dou Dizhu a Q? That's a really bad hand.
The old master's expression was strange.
"Are you here to help me solve my problems too?"
Zhuge Qing's eyes lit up immediately. What a great reason!
"That's right! I'm here to help you solve your problems."
The old master looked at the "trouble" that he had finally managed to dispel with his own dark secrets, and his expression became even more strange.
The usual question: "Can you help me deal with Lu Xuan?"
Zhuge Qing remained silent for a moment, as was the custom.
The old master familiarly withdrew his gaze.
Zhuge Qing was speechless. He had been completely outmatched by Lu Xuan in the previous match, and his worldview had been repeatedly challenged.
You want me to fight Lu Xuan? That's a bit much for me.
Zhuge Qing smiled ingratiatingly and tentatively said, "I think Master Wang is quite skilled as well..."
Old Master: "?"
Huh? Is what you meant by your opening statement the kind I was thinking?
That's right! Yes.
Zhuge Qing simply cut to the chase: "Old Celestial Master, at least I can help you deal with Wang Ye!"
Old Celestial Master: "(－??)"
He sighed silently to himself.
I suddenly feel a bit mentally exhausted.
Am I, an old man, staying up so late just to play this game with you two?
"Zhuge Qing! You can go out now!"
Zhuge Qing: "?"
Is there something wrong with my suggestion?
"If possible, I'll put you and Wang Ye together. You can go out now!"
The old celestial master sighed and waved to Zhuge Qing.
"This junior thanks the venerable Celestial Master."
Zhuge Qing turned and walked out of the small house. Lu Xuan, Zhang Chulan, and Wang Ye had already finished a game.
Zhuge Qing patted Zhang Chulan's shoulder and nodded at him.
"it's your turn!"
Zhang Chulan seemed to be deep in thought, his gaze sweeping over Wang Ye, Zhuge Qing, and finally Lu Xuan.
He was very clever; he deduced the thoughts of Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing simply from their behavior.
At this moment, he finally confirmed his guess.
The entire Luo Tian Grand Ceremony was a scheme set up by the advisor for himself...
"I gave up."
He casually handed the cards to Zhuge Qing, and then naturally took the cards from Lu Xuan's hand.
Zhang Chulan spoke in a voice that could be heard throughout the courtyard.
"Master Lu, please tell the advisor for me."
"He is the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain. He can't risk his lifelong reputation for me. Let nature take its course!"
Zhang Chulan was saying this to the Old Master.
Whether the Celestial Master listens or is willing to listen is his business.
Zhang Chulan has found his own path, and he will firmly follow whatever he believes is right.
“Interesting~”
Lu Xuan got up and walked towards the old Celestial Master's house.
Being in the thick of things and yet able to see things so clearly, Zhang Chulan's mental fortitude is not only among his peers, but also among the entire world of supernatural beings.
Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye looked surprised when they heard Zhang Chulan's words.
They instinctively met each other's gazes, then, in perfect unison, guiltily turned their heads away.
Zhuge Qing subconsciously looked at the cards in his hand.
Holy crap! What terrible cards.
No wonder Zhang Chulan gave me the cards.
"You guys should go somewhere else to play!"
Lu Xuan entered the house, his voice still echoing in the ears of the three.
Before they could react, the scenery changed, and they found themselves in a familiar place.
In the distance, a campfire burns.
Canglong, Lu Linglong, Zhijinhua, Yun, Xiao Xiao and a group of others were drinking and having a good time.
Is this... a bonfire party on the back hill?
They went from the old master's courtyard to the back mountain where the bonfire party was held.
How did they get here?
Zhang Chulan, Wang Ye, and Zhuge Qing looked at each other in bewilderment.
There's a feeling of wanting to complain, but also a sense that it should be this way.
at this point……
"One to two."
Zhang Chulan played his card first.
Since things have come to this, let's keep playing cards!
"Old Celestial Master, you're still not resting so late!"
Old Master: "..."
Did you guys really not rehearse your lines properly?
"Lu Xuan! Let's be more honest with each other!"
"That's okay!"
Moonlight streamed into the room through the broken window, and the two sat facing each other in the moonlight.
"Old Celestial Master, I think there's no need to say anything more."
Lu Xuan also sat cross-legged, facing the Old Celestial Master.
“Last time I came, you kept asking me if I was willing to help you, and I said it was impossible.”
"You want to end the chaos of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques and the Jia Shen Rebellion, and you want to protect Zhang Chulan, but the troubles left behind back then have never really ended."
“You can definitely protect Zhang Chulan and the Qi Source Flow, but you can’t suppress the Jia Shen Rebellion. That’s just human nature.”
"Why don't you listen to what I have to say..."
The old Celestial Master nodded slightly, recalling the first time he had a face-to-face conversation with Lu Xuan after he came up the mountain on the eve of the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony...
At that time, the old master asked Lu Xuan, since he was only following Zhou Meng's orders to support Longhu Mountain and was not willing to cooperate with him to help Zhang Chulan win the championship, then why did he still participate in the competition?
If it's just about helping, one Wang Ye could help the Old Master achieve his goal.
After Lu Xuan participated in the competition, the old master realized that the biggest trouble he had caused by creating the scandal was Lu Xuan.
Old Celestial Master: "(ーー゛)"
Lu Xuan was very frank: "My master sent me to beat up all your old disciples."
The old master said, "There's no need to be so frank."
I'm asking about your own purpose. What is the reason you came to Longhu Mountain to participate in the Luotian Grand Ritual?
Lu Xuan: "To beat up your disciple."
Old Master: "..."
If we can't chat, let's break up!
Wait... we can talk some more.
This grand ceremony is not only a scheme set up by the Old Master, but also a battle between the company, Master Lu Jin, and the Quanxing Sect.
My main purpose in coming here is to borrow your esteemed place to eliminate those Quanxing members.
