The Lotus maid, Han Xuan and Han Fen had set off two hours earlier to act as an advance scout tea an aer afraid of the trailing party, the Lotuseven more silent than the other members of his party
Soon, Taoist Yu’s tee tents were erected on a raisedthe strea incense could be srirounds and did not pay any special attention to the Dragon King and his party The camp was frequently visited by iht many more people than these who had just arrived
Three young Taoist priests caetting ready to begin asking questions when he suddenly spotted Old ed color as he blurted out, “Why are you here?”
“This is Yuqing Sect territory, and as the eldest disciple, I come as and when I wish,” replied Old man Mu with roup, shouting, “Fellow ! Come out quick, your elder !”
The three Taoist priests looked erounds felt rather unhappy about the commotion One of theer to his lips, signaling for the pilgri to shout in an even louder voice, “Kid, co quickly, or else I’ll tell everyone about your past…”
The ‘kid’ ca middle tent He was an elderly man with completely white hair who looked very immortal like His robes floated around hia Ruyi scepter, horsetail duster, sword and calabash respectively
Gu Shenwei had met many people who claimed to be immortal, but Taoist Yu’s type was the most superficial kind he had encountered Many years of experience had taught hiilant around such people
Taoist Yu in fact, did not look very old and atfor this elder fellow male disciple, “Our sect has failed to discipline our students well thus we’ve produced such a rebellious student Please don’t take it to heart, Dragon King”
Gu Shenwei led the others to disuards to stand watch at the periuan twins and Chu Nanping along with his with Taoist Yu
Old Man Mu acted as if he was back to where he belonged and introduced both parties to each other He then clapped his hands together and told everyone, “Alright, let’s go in for a good chat”
After observing Taoist Yu, Gu Shenwei began to have an impression of him He felt that the old man was a very ordinary Taoist priest and had earned the title of ‘the Immortal of the North Court’ not fro on a front Frouessed that he knew so fu and was probably not adoubts about the Taoist priest fu increase by leaps and bounds within just one year, and ould he have an interest in the Death Scripture?” </eht
When they reached the entrance to one of the s, “Hehe, the Dragon King wishes to talk about private matters with my fellowto do with it should take a walk Maybe pray to some deity or make a wish, I hear it’s very effective here”
The Lotus uan Ru and Chu Nanping Shangguan Fei wanted to follow the Dragon King in, but was pushed away by Oldto you Go seek protection from the three Supreme Deities The fake ih the real ones”
As for the four young attendants, Old man Mu pushed and shoved them out of the tent
Only three people were left in the tent Gu Shenwei and Taoist Yu sat facing each other, still trying to observe each other Both of them remained silent, and it was Old man Mu, who sat in the middle, who directed the conversation He started, “Fellowdoes not like people to beat around the bush with him I think you should speak directly”
“You’ve co…”
Old an speaking, “Sigh, stop pretending I’ve told the Dragon King everything You desire the Death Scripture, while he needs your help to cure Shangguan Fei Both of you need each other, so let’s stop wasting each other’s tied hisfor a while before asking, “Is that so?”
Old man Mu was a little hasty, but it suited Gu Shenwei’s plan as he replied, “Right, the scripture is embedded in my mind May I ask you, Taoist, about your hed saying, “You’re indeed forthco then Our sect has many skills, and all in all, we’re better in external-style kung fu The Dajue Book of Swordcraft is the peak of that type of kung fu in the entire Western region and has been lost for generations Who knew that it would resurface in jianghu with your help? Therefore, I want to see it What about you, Dragon King? What ails you?”
“I’ve been plagued by proble replied
“Problems of the heart?”
“Yes, doubts, to be exact”
Gu Shenwei rose fro and kicked Taoist Yu down to the ground with one foot He placed his hand on the hilt of his saber, saying, “I want the real Taoist Yu to appear before me As for this fake one, I’ll pass”
Oldman Mu was even , he’s indeedabout that”
The white-haired Taoist priest shi+fted his body weight onto his right elbow and lifted his head to look at Gu Shenwei, a bitter s, who told you I’ilant as he replied, “Old man Mu”
The color on the faces of both ‘Taoist Yu’ and Old Man Mu iiven themselves up
