"Of course it's a good thing. The current era is like a white cloud. Countless things have completely and irreversibly changed in the blink of an eye. Isn't it a good thing that you and I can still maintain our original aspirations?" This time he and Zhan Jingtian met again after more than 20 years, but Gongsun Bu felt as cordial and familiar with Zhan Jingtian as he had never been apart before. Sure enough, friendship is like a fine wine that becomes more fragrant the longer you drink it. "Yes, Lao Zhan, it's time for us old guys to withdraw from the stage. No matter what era, the protagonists will always be those green young boys. Maybe I should also formally consider retreating behind the scenes like you." indefinite." The two looked at each other and smiled, and in tacit understanding, they picked up the wine glasses and drank the wine in one gulp. "Knock knock." At this time, Gongsun Bu heard a gentle knock on the door. Gongsun Xingyi glanced at Zhan Jingtian and said, "Come in." Looking at the door being opened slowly, a young figure walked in, it was Lian'er. She had a soft smile, but there was a hint of worry between her eyebrows. "Grandpa Zhan, it turns out you are here too." "Haha, the girl is here. We had some drinks and were chatting." Lian'er saw Zhan Jingtian sitting opposite Gongsun Bu and glanced at the wine bottles on the table. She immediately guessed the relationship between the two like Ming Jing. It was exactly what she thought. The two were good friends. , and I'm afraid there is a deeper bond than she thought . Because although Lian'er didn't know anything about the two elders, she knew very well that Gongsun Bu would never invite anyone in, and even servants would never come in to clean this room. It's like a thunder pool. But now Zhan Jingtian was sitting casually in the room. Lian'er took a deep look at Zhan Jingtian and immediately showed a smile. "Why are you here looking for me, girl? It seems something happened." Gongsun Bu glanced at Lian'er and said with a soft smile. "Yes..." Lian'er immediately responded respectfully, but she didn't know if she should tell the matter now and couldn't help but glance at Zhan Jingtian quietly. "That's all you say. Remember from now on that when you see this old guy, it's the same as seeing me. You don't have to treat him as an outsider. When I'm not around, you can always ask him for help if you have any difficulties. If he dares not to help me, I will Destroy him." Gongsun Bu saw Lian'er's concerns and immediately said calmly. "No, no, I can't help you with matters involving a wealthy family like you. Let's talk about the business. It's time for me to go back." "Hey, old man, it's too late for you to let go of your burden. Girl, don't worry about him, just say it." Gongsun Bu laughed twice and waved his hand casually, and the door was automatically closed. Lian'er looked at the helpless Zhan Jingtian and smiled sweetly. He immediately stopped worrying and said immediately, "Hui Gu Master, according to the guard's report, Qian Shibo of the Xiangxi corpse exorcism sect and Xiao Wu of unknown origin were near the Yuzhu Forest. There seems to be a conflict among the monks...and there is new news just now. Huangfu Junhao of the Huangfu School has also joined the dispute, and now the situation seems to be a bit out of control." Gongsun Bu and Zhan Jingtian looked at each other, and then said curiously, "That Uncle Qian and the little monk had a dispute? What is going on?" "Rain Bamboo Forest..." Zhan Jingtian frowned and began to ponder. Lian'er said worriedly, "It is said that Uncle Qian was determined to buy the little fox from the demon clan with the young monk, but the young monk was determined not to give it up, and then..." Gongsun Bu's face darkened and he said, "What a shame, this is nonsense. How can we allow such a bad guy to appear on the territory of our Gongsun family! Lian'er, order me to arrest this old guy immediately." Zhan Jingtian said slowly, "Lao Bu, please be patient and don't act rashly. Lian'er girl, where did you say the incident happened just now?" Lian'er smiled bitterly and said, "It's the large rain bamboo forest on the mountainside, which happens to be at the boundary of the jurisdiction of our Gongsun family." Gongsun Bu snorted coldly and said, "So what? The center or the borders are ultimately the jurisdiction of our Gongsun family. I will never let that old guy off easily! Over and over again. Looking for trouble, do you really think that our Gongsun family is a soft persimmon?!" Lian'er looked at the faintly angry ancient master and seemed to be hesitant to speak, but was unable to say anything due to the ancient master's terrifying aura and identity, so he had no choice but to turn his eyes to Zhan Jingtian for help. Unlike his own ancient master, Lian'er could tell that Zhan Jingtian might have thought of what he was worried about from what he just said."Lao Bu, calm down first, don't you think something is wrong about this matter?" Zhan Jingtian frowned slightly, stroked the beard on his chin, and said slowly. Gongsun Bu seemed to have sobered up from his anger, and looked at Zhan Jingtian with puzzled eyes. Something's wrong? Something is wrong, no matter how you look at it, Uncle Qian is looking for trouble. "Old Zhan, what are you afraid of? The guys from Xiangxi's corpse exorcism school are indeed difficult to deal with, but do you think our Gongsun family will be afraid of those guys who are neither humans nor ghosts?" Zhan Jingtian shook his head and sighed, "Of course you are not afraid, and neither is the Gongsun family, but have you ever thought that that uncle Qian might be expecting things to develop as you ordered." When Lian'er saw Zhan Jingtian say these words, he was completely convinced that Zhan Jingtian had really grasped the development of the situation, and he couldn't help but admire him in his heart. He was worthy of being the elder who walked out of prison. Seeing that Gongsun Bu was still angry, Lian'er gritted her teeth and persuaded, "Master Gu, just like Grandpa Zhan said, I'm afraid this matter needs long-term consideration. You must not act rashly. I ask Master Gu to think twice." " Zhan Jingtian nodded and said, "Lao Bu, you might as well think about it, if Uncle Qian was really afraid of the Gongsun family, why would he take action in Yuzhulin? You don't know, right? Yuzhulin is This is an area where the dividing line between your Gongsun family’s territory and the outside world is the most blurred. In this place, you are right to say that it does not belong to the Gongsun family, and you are right to say that it belongs to the Gongsun family .” When Gongsun Bu heard what Zhan Jingtian said, he seemed to realize something. He groaned and narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes full of spirit twinkling. Zhan Jingtian glanced at him and continued to explain, "According to the rules, it is in compliance with the regulations for your Gongsun family to protect customers who come to participate in the auction within their jurisdiction. However, if Qian Shibo is located in the area... It does not fall within the jurisdiction. If your Gongsun family takes action rashly, there will be no suitable reason. There is no reason and it does not comply with the rules. You don’t know what this means, right Lao Bu? That is to say, your Gongsun family is targeting the corpse exorcism sect in western Hunan for no reason. Due to circumstances and reasons, you are all on the weaker side. You must either make compensation or be retaliated by them in accordance with the rules of the world. " Listening to Zhan Jingtian's analysis, Lian'er couldn't help but marvel in her heart. Lian'er looked at Zhan Jingtian now, with a hint of awe in her beautiful eyes. In fact, although she was also confused about this matter, she could not think about it so thoroughly and clearly. He couldn't help but realize again that to be given such special treatment by his own ancient master, it turned out that this old man was by no means an ordinary person. In other words, if the ancient master represents force, then Zhan Jingtian is the think tank steering the ship behind the scenes. Gongsun Bu looked at Zhan Jingtian and asked doubtfully, "Old Zhan, do you mean to tell us not to take action?" Zhan Jingtian slowly shook his head and said, "That won't work. On the other hand, if Qian Shibo is within the jurisdiction of your Gongsun family, but you choose to stand aside because of this, then if this matter If implemented, the consequences will be very bad. Maybe Qian Shibo will be punished later, but the reputation of the Gongsun family will also plummet because of this incident. You are known as the host of the most fair and grand auction in the world of undertakers. I think there is no need to say more about what this reputation means. " Gongsun Bu's brows became more and more frowning. He clenched his fist tightly and said in a deep voice, "In other words, on the surface, this Qian Shibo is targeting the little monk, but in fact, he is targeting our Gongsun family." Set up a trap?" Zhan Jingtian sighed and said, "That's it, and I'm afraid according to the current development, no matter how you choose, he will be the one who benefits. And your Gongsun family is now in a dilemma." "That's unreasonable, that damn guy..." The Gongsun family's eyes were filled with anger, but at this moment they also knew that if they took action easily, the interests of the entire family would be harmed. Lian'er also suggested in a low voice at this time, "Gu Master, Lian'er has just sent people to observe the situation. I think it might be better for us to just wait and see what happens. Although it is unlikely... but that little monk There is no guarantee that he will be defeated by Uncle Qian. After all, he took out the Nine Souls Ferocious Dragon Ball..." Gongsun Bu glanced at her and said, "Qian Shibo is a real strong man in the late stage of the Fifth Burial Heaven. Do you think that little monk who is only in the late stage of the Third Burial Heaven can defeat him?" Lian'er was startled, and when she heard Gongsun Bu's slightly reprimanding words, her eyes dimmed and she didn't say anything more. Yes, just as the ancient master said, even if the little monk has great abilities, his level is only a burial master in the late third stage of the third burial day. Facing the strong ones in the late fifth stage of the fifth burial day, I am afraid that he can not survive. You're lucky to have taken your own life.The depressing air filled the room. Lian'er was helpless and anxious watching the passage of time, but there was no better way. Now the highest say in the family is in the hands of Gongsun Bu - usually when Gongsun Bu is away, the elders of the Gongsun family hold discussions and make decisions. But even she, who is usually very good at making suggestions, is now a bit out of her depth. After pondering for a long time, Zhan Jingtian seemed to have thought of something. He narrowed his eyes slightly, then looked at Lian'er and said, "Girl, you just said that the boy from the Huangfu family seems to have also joined the conflict?" Lian'er was distressed, and was startled when he heard Zhan Jingtian's call. He immediately said respectfully, "Yes, according to the guard's report, Huangfu Junhao seemed to have stood up among the crowd of onlookers, seemingly for the little warrior monk." Fight against injustice." Zhan Jingtian nodded slowly and said immediately, "What is the rank of that boy from the Huangfu family?"
