Chapter 924 Why are you here?
"I see! But if we let this matter go, not only will you be upset, but it will also discourage your disciples. They will certainly think that you are easy to bully and will become even more unscrupulous!" Si Shaonan was relieved at first, then frowned.
"Of course I can't just let it go like this. I have to get to the bottom of this matter myself!" Zong Yongshi said in a deep voice.
"I'll go with you, uncle." Si Shaonan said.
“I am very grateful for your kindness, but your Seven Star Palace has gone through a great catastrophe and has suffered a great loss of vitality, so you should not get involved in this matter.
No matter what I say, I still have the support of Immortal Lord Yuanli, and I have some foundation in Qingling Territory, so they can't just bully me whenever they want." Zong Yongshi waved his hand.
"One more person means more momentum. As for my Seven Star Palace, some things happened in the Great Barbarian South China Sea in recent years, and I also got some opportunities. Now I have recovered a lot." Si Shaonan said.
"Forget it, I won't implicate you in this matter!" Zong Yongshi was quite moved when he heard this, but still waved his hand to refuse.
The Seven Star Palace has experienced a great catastrophe. Even if it has recovered a little, how much can it recover?
Moreover, Zong Yongshi knew very well about this matter. There was no evidence to support it, only speculation and suspicion. Even if he went to ask about it, there would basically be no other result except that the other party would pretend to express sympathy and scold and punish his disciples to show his kindness.
Seeing Zong Yongshi's firm attitude, Si Shaonan understood his thoughts to some extent. He sighed secretly and no longer insisted.
The hall fell into silence for a moment.
“Eh!” Suddenly, Zong Yongshi raised his eyebrows, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he said, “They are still alive !”
"Are you talking about your two disciples?" Si Shaonan asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's them." Zong Yongshi said as he looked outside the hall.
Outside the hall, Lan Xin and Mu Ce were crossing the square and walking towards the hall, accompanied by a man in blue.
The man in green seemed to be using some magic weapon to hide the aura of his realm, making it impossible to tell his specific realm.
However, Zong Yongshi's mind was on Lan Xin and Mu Ce at the moment, so he didn't think much about it. He thought that the man in green was traveling with them, and he was probably also a true immortal.
After all, Taoist immortals have a noble and transcendent status, and Zong Yongshi has lived for a long time and knows many of the Taoist immortals in this area. He seems to have never seen the man in green before.
However, Si Shaonan was so surprised that he stood up when he saw Qin Ziling suddenly appear outside the hall.
Speaking of which, he hasn't seen Qin Ziling for almost two thousand years.
To be precise, Si Shaonan has never seen Qin Ziling's true self.
However, the scene of Qin Ziling hiding behind the scenes and forcing back Immortal Lord Yuan Sui with a single sword, and later giving lectures, is still vivid in Si Shaonan's mind today, as if it were yesterday. His words of teaching and answering questions still echo in Si Shaonan's mind from time to time, which is thought-provoking.
So today, when Qin Ziling appeared, he faintly released a hint of the aura of the teachings in the flames back then, and Si Shaonan was startled at once.
When Zong Yong saw Si Shaonan suddenly stand up, he thought he was surprised that his two disciples had returned from the disaster. He couldn't help but be secretly moved and thought that Si Shaonan was a really sentimental person.
But soon after that, Zong Yongshi realized that something was wrong.
He found that Si Shaonan's eyes were on the man in green, and his expression seemed a little surprised and hesitant. The man in green saw Si Shaonan from afar, and nodded at him naturally and casually with a smile on his face, obviously knowing him.
When Si Shaonan saw him nodding at him, he immediately got up from his seat and went to greet him.
When Zong Yongshi saw Si Shaonan leave his seat and go to greet him, he realized that the identity of the man in blue might be no simple person.
"Greetings, Master!" Lan Xin and Mu Ce strode forward quickly and prostrated themselves from a distance in the hall. Thinking of how they almost died with their master and would never be able to repay him for his kindness in nurturing them, their eyes became moist.
"It's good that you're back! It's good that you're back!" Zong Yongshi helped the two of them up and looked at the man in blue who was walking towards him leisurely. Just as he was thinking about going forward to say hello, Si Shaonan had already walked up to him quickly.
"Shaonan greets the teacher!" Si Shaonan bowed deeply to Qin Ziling from a distance with a respectful attitude.
When Zong Yongshi saw Si Shaonan actually addressing Qin Ziling as teacher with such respect, he could not help but secretly take a deep breath. He did not dare to neglect him and quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Daoyou have come from afar, I am sorry for not welcoming you in person!"
"You are too polite, Brother Zong." Qin Ziling returned the greeting.
"Please take a seat, fellow Taoist!" Zong Yongshi invited. At this time, his followers had already set up the table and delicious dishes.
Qin Ziling, accompanied by Lan Xin and Mu Ce, successfully entered the Demonic Pass. He was originally preparing to leave, but he noticed that Si Shaonan was also in the Demonic Pass. He became curious and wanted to find out about the latest situation of Wuji Sect from him as soon as possible. So he changed his mind temporarily and followed Lan Xin and Mu Ce to the Immortal General's Mansion to Zhenguan.
So when Zong Yong made the invitation, Qin Ziling did not refuse. He bowed and walked forward to sit down.
Si Shaonan naturally sat below him.
"I wonder how I should address you, fellow Taoist?" Zong Yongshi asked.
"My surname is Qin and my name is Ziling." Qin Ziling replied.
"It turns out to be Brother Qin. I guess the reason why these two useless disciples of mine can return safely is definitely because of the rescue by Brother Qin!" Zong Yongshi said with a bow.
"It's just a piece of cake." Qin Ziling said with a smile.
After that, Qin Ziling turned to Si Shaonan and asked, "Why are you here?"
“Teacher, my father once worked under the Immortal Lord Yuanli. Although he later returned to the Seven Stars Palace to inherit the position of Palace Master, he would come to pay a visit to the Immortal Lord every five thousand years.
Now, five thousand years have passed since my father last visited the Immortal Lord, so I, the student, have come to pay a visit to the Immortal Lord on behalf of my father.
Uncle Zong is my father's lifelong friend. After paying respect to Lord Xianjun, I came here to visit him, but I didn't expect to meet my teacher here. "Seeing Qin Ziling asking questions, Si Shaonan quickly stood up and replied with a respectful attitude.
Zong Yongshi knew that Si Shaonan was a proud person, and now he was the master of a palace and the governor of the East Route of the South China Sea of the Great Barbarians, and he also had Taoist subordinates. When he saw Si Shaonan standing up every time he replied and his attitude was surprisingly respectful, he couldn't help but be extremely surprised. He wondered who Qin Ziling was that Si Shaonan could treat him so humbly.
"It turns out that your father and fellow Daoist Zong are friends for life and death. Then we really need to settle accounts with each other for the frame-up of Lan Xin and Mu Ce." Qin Ziling said after hearing this.
Qin Ziling had known for a long time that there was an immortal king behind the Seven Star Palace, but he did not seem to be in the Savage Continent. So after hearing Si Shaonan's words, he felt relieved and was not surprised at all.
However, Qin Ziling originally did not want to cause any trouble regarding the matter of Lan Xin and Mu Ce. But now that he knew that Zong Yongshi had this kind of relationship with Si Shaonan, he changed his mind.
"Framed?" Zong Yongshi's expression changed slightly.
