Chapter 20 (2/2)
Yu Ai clenched his teeth and didn't say anything On the one hand, he felt that since the other people were co, if he joined hands with the Elders, they could at least keep this crazy trespasser Yan Wushi+ here, but on the other hand, deep in his heart, he didn't really want the other people on Mount Xuandu to see Shen Qiao
Just as he wasover it, someone had already rushed over before everyone else
It was Qi Fengge's eldest disciple, Tan Yuanchun
He was the eldest martial brother of Yu Ai and Shen Qiao His aptitude was e, and he had a rather mild temperament — a peacemaker who tried never to offend anybody This kind of disposition and level of martial arts were definitely unsuitable for a sect leader, but all reatly for his tolerance and generosity After Shen Qiao became the sect leader, Tan Yuanchun naturally beca the next generation of disciples
”Junior brother Yu?” Tan Yuanchun saw Yu Ai at once and seemed a little surprised, ”That sound just noere you…? Who is this mister?”
Yu Ai answered, ”Sect Master Yan of the Cleansing Moon Sect”
After hearing Yu Ai's casual introduction, Tan Yuanchun gave a gasp of astonishment
Why would the Den from the Demonic Sect show up here?!
Yan Wushi+'s reet the other person, ”So you're Qi Fengge's eldest disciple? You ht with me once, and I lost to him But now all of his disciples turn out to be useless How about you have a fight with me as well?”
Tan Yuanchun: ”…”
He turned around and looked at Yu Ai The latter lowered his voice, ”Sect Master Yan's martial arts sure is unsurpassed, but we have so many people on Mount Xuandu that we can at least keep you here Could it be that Sect Master Yan finds the scenery on Mount Xuandu so exceptionally beautiful that you would rather stay here for longer?”
Yan Wushi+ gave a light sneer, ”Without Qi Fengge, Mount Xuandu is simply worthless in my eyes”
He turned to Shen Qiao and satirized, ”Unwilling to leave still, huh? Are you waiting for your junior brother to first iood old brotherhood between you two?”
Only then did Tan Yuanchun realize there stood yet another person under the tree not far from them Because the other person was half-hidden in the shadows and had rather faint breaths in addition to his attention being immediately drawn by Yan Wushi+'s presence just now, he didn't notice it
However, as he looked, he couldn't help but be shocked as he bursted out, ”Junior Brother, the Sect Leader?”
Supporting himself with the tree trunk, Shen Qiao nodded towards where the voice ca, ”Eldest Brother, I believe you've been well since we last parted?”
Tan Yuanchun was happily surprised He took a few steps forward, asking, ”Are you all right? When did you come back? Why…”
Yu Ai stopped him, ”Eldest brother!”
This blockade actually reminded Tan Yuanchun of what Yan Wushi+ had just said He i on here?”
Yu Ai didn't answer Instead, it was Shen Qiao who actually asked back, ”Eldest Brother, is it true that all of you are already planning on electing Junior Brother Yu as the new sect leader?”
Tan Yuanchun appeared to be reluctant to answer He first looked at Yu Ai, then at Shen Qiao He didn't kno to say things that sounded official and tactful, so he had to tell the truth, ”We've been relying on Junior Brother Yu to take care of the affairs in the sect when you were not here He was helping you with these things before anyway, and he is the one who knows Mount Xuandu the best After you fell off the cliff, the Elders had a discussion and decided to let Junior Brother Yu becoood that you're back Have a nice recovery first, and the rest can wait till some time after!”
Shen Qiao was very aware that even if he really were to stay tonight, since he had lost to Kunye and was also seriously wounded, there was no way he could continue to shoulder the duty of a sect leader Even if the other people didn’t mind, he himself definitely wouldn't have the face to keep the position The Purple Mansion of Mount Xuandu would undoubtedly continue to be controlled by Yu Ai In that case, he couldn't stop Yu Ai's cooperation with the Tujue whether he chose to stay or not In fact, with his current condition, staying would si himself at the mercy of others
Thinking to this point, he sighed to himself and didn't hesitate any!”
”Ah-qiao!”
”Junior brother!”
They called out sier, and Tan Yuanchun with shock He couldn't understand how and when Shen Qiao had involved himself with the people from the Demonic sects
Yan Wushi+ raised his eyebrows He didn't seem to be surprised by Shen Qiao's decision and found it especially interesting He deliberately suggested, ”You still have tiret”
Lights could faintly be seen from the distance as they approached Those were the disciples of Mount Xuandu ere hurrying over
A blind man's ears were exceptionally keen Shen Qiao couldn't see very well, but he was able to hear it
He shook his head, ”No”
Seeing that Yan Wushi+ was going to take the person and sied by it at the sa to step forward to stop them, ”Wait!”
To his surprise, Yan Wushi+ did not dodge or step aside He grabbed Shen Qiao by his waist and sent hiet for Yu Ai's attack
Tan Yuanchun was terrified: ”Third junior brother, stop!”
Yu Ai was greatly alarmed He withdrew his hand and retreated at once Yan Wushi+ laughed heartily, taking the person with him They disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye
Only laughter continued to echo in the open space
Yu Ai almost blew his top, ”This shameless bastard!”
