Chapter 156 Unfilial Disciple
Why are you looking at him? They're not even acquainted.
Lou Xiang's gaze wasn't particularly discreet, and Jian You and Hua Buhui noticed it. They glanced at Zhou Yuntian and then subtly withdrew their gazes.
"Lord Lou, what are you looking at me for?"
Zhou Yuntian couldn't help but ask.
Lou Xiang replied with a smile, "Since Sect Leader Zhou has asked, then I, Lou, will answer to the best of my knowledge."
The strange phenomenon occurred in the private room reserved for the Lingyun Sect by the Lingbao Pavilion. Mu Sen and Mu Danzong happened to be in the room when the phenomenon occurred, and only they know the details of what happened.
Zhou Yuntian's heart skipped a beat. Why was this senior brother always around?
Such a big thing, and you didn't even tell me beforehand.
"Is that so? The auction is over, my senior brother should be leaving."
“Yes, he did leave at the time, but the next day the Mu Dan Sect had my daughter take him back to the auction house to meet someone. As for who it was…” Lou Xiang paused for a moment and said, “The gold medal holder of our Lingbao Pavilion.”
Before Zhou Yuntian could say anything, Liu Buhuo's voice rang out throughout the room.
"If the person below heard the voice in the private room correctly, it's Rong Lu, the junior brother of Sect Master Hua, right?"
All eyes turned to Hua Buhui.
Hua Buhui's eyes darkened as he said, "I don't know!"
He had a guess in his mind when Lou Xiang mentioned Mu Sen.
Thinking of that person, and the thought of a million high-grade spirit stones and a ninth-tier treasure, caused me immense heartache.
For Rong Lu's sake, and for the sake of the Misty Immortal Sect, spirit stones and treasures will be sent out regardless.
After looking around, I immediately left.
Zhou Yuntian thought about how his senior brother's recent performance had barely passed muster, so he decided to try and salvage the situation.
"Since it is inconvenient for you, Pavilion Master, I will take my leave now. Please let me know if you have any updates."
"sure!"
Lou Xiang clasped his hands in a fist salute.
Zhou Yuntian then disappeared from their sight.
Jian looked thoughtfully at the two people who had left empty seats, thinking of her younger brother who had become much more lively recently, and nodded goodbye to Lou Xiang.
Seeing that everyone else had disappeared without a trace, Liu Bu Huo snorted coldly and then vanished as well.
Lou Xiang sat and waited for a while, then a door opened inside the room, and a woman came out.
"Xiyue, you're right. As long as we mention the Wood Pill Sect and the gold medal holder, this matter will definitely be resolved. Now, can you tell me what exactly happened?"
"Father, I don't know either. At that time, only the Mu Dan Sect and the gold medal holder were in the room. I was in the Lingbao Pavilion at the time."
"The gold medal holder is a woman named Situ Shan?"
"Based on my daughter's speculation, Situ Shan is very likely to be Tu Shan, the master of the Mu Dan Sect."
"Oh?"
Lou Xiang certainly knew Tu Shan, the only one in the entire Misty Continent to have mastered the Furnace.
"Father, do you know what material Situ Shan used to upgrade his badge?"
"Could it be a medicinal pill?"
"That's right. Apart from the demonic beasts we brought the first time, the rest are all pills."
In just two months, who else but her, who could produce thousands of top-grade pills?
Besides, the age matches up.
"And what about Rong Lu?"
"There were ten people in the gold-plated private room at the time. It was Rong Lu who made the first bid. As soon as he made the first bid, the people from other sects stopped bidding. My daughter found it strange and even went to find out, but unfortunately she didn't find out anything at the time."
Lou Xiang narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled softly.
"This painted fan is interesting; it shows cunning, strength, and intelligence."
"It's really interesting. When my daughter met her, she was just a second-level alchemist, a girl at the fourth level of Qi Refining."
In just five years, she had already reached the Nascent Soul stage and become a sixth-level alchemist.
Such talent is unique to her across the entire Misty Continent.
Lou Xiyue looked proud; she was happy to have such a talented yet humble friend.
"Yes, your friendship with her will only benefit our Lingbao Pavilion. People like her are the most annoying to scheme against. When you associate with her, be more sincere."
It was rare for Prime Minister Lou to give Lou Xiyue such earnest advice.
"Yes, Father!"
What's your take on this unusual phenomenon?
Lou Xiyue hesitated for a moment, then waved her hand, and a fifth-tier demonic beast appeared beside her.
"This is?"
"Father, this is my contracted beast."
"A legendary contracted beast?"
"That's right. Although the law of contracts has been lost for ten thousand years, there is a kind of contract called the Beast Contract. As long as the beast takes the initiative to form a contract, it is possible."
"You mean it voluntarily entered into a contract with you?"
"Yes, its daughter saved its life, and it is grateful to her, so it signed a contract with her."
Lou Xiang looked Lou Xiyue up and down, sizing her up and down.
"You mean the strange phenomenon that day was related to the contract?"
“Yes, Ling’er said that it was likely a strange phenomenon caused by an ancient contract, which means that the creature he contracted was likely an ancient demon beast.”
Lou Xiyue had a guess in her mind.
"An ancient monster?"
"Even if it's not an ancient demon beast, it at least has the bloodline of an ancient demon beast. Father, Tu Shan is probably more complex than we imagined. Don't you find the attitude of the Misty Immortal Sect strange?"
Lou Xiang carefully recalled Hua Buhui's attitude, and he was certain that Hua Buhui knew Tu Shan.
Given Hua Bu Hui's indifferent nature, if he didn't know them, he probably wouldn't have given them a single word just now.
I'm afraid that Tu Shan is more complicated than I imagined.
Hua Buhui cherishes his junior brother Rong Lu so much that anyone with even a little power or influence has received a warning from him.
If Rong Lu makes any mistake, he will surely be hunted down by the entire Misty Immortal Sect.
"You should pay more attention to painting fans in the future."
"Yes, Dad."
Zhou Yuntian sent a message to Mu Sen after returning to his post, but received no reply after waiting for a long time. He then sent a message to Zhong Qi.
After an incense stick had burned, still no message was received, so he started cursing.
"Unfilial son, troublesome old man, you're nowhere to be seen when it matters."
He had just finished cursing when his communication device rang.
Zhong Qi: Master, I don't know.
Zhou Yuntian: Where are you now?
Zhong Qi: Auction House.
An auction house? The auction house he was thinking of?
Zhou Yuntian hurriedly asked: The auction house in Snow Moon City?
Zhong Qi: Yes!
Zhou Yuntian: ...
When did his apprentice become so influential that he could stay at the auction house for so long?
It's not that I look down on his unworthy disciple, it's just that that blockhead doesn't have many ideas.
Even if they've become a little more sensible in recent years, they haven't become so capable that auction houses would make exceptions for their scoundrels.
Zhou Yuntian: Who else? Why would the auction house keep you here for so long?
Zhong Qi: There are seven or eight more you don't recognize.
Zhong Qi: There's something I can't say. My senior uncle knows. Ask him.
“You unfilial disciple, is there anything you can’t tell your master?”
Zhou Yuntian raised an eyebrow, a guess forming in his mind.
In the past few years, the only thing this unruly disciple could keep from being informed, apart from Old Man Mu's cheap master, was that there was nothing else he couldn't know.
Zhou Yuntian: Your grandmaster?
Zhong Qi: I didn't say. Don't ask, I have something to do.
"You unfilial son!"
After cursing and swearing, Zhou Yuntian fell into deep thought.
With Mu Sen around and Zhong Qi always at the auction house, the only one who could bring the two of them together is Tu Shan.
Is Tu Shan the gold medalist?
