Borrowing Passage to Attack Shu, Withdrawing from the West to Secure the South (First update, congratulations on

Earthly Immortal passing one million words~)

Fifteen days later.

Huyan Jun arrived behind schedule with his disciple Yu Nanlin.

"Daoist Master Guanxuan, my apologies."

The moment Huyan Jun entered, he apologized repeatedly.

Cheng Xinzhan smiled and invited him to sit.

"Not at all, not at all. I have nothing pressing to do. Sit down and talk, Fellow Daoist Huyan."

Huyan Jun sat down. Seeing that Wu Qingbo was there alongside Feng Ji Hu, he said,

"When I first met Fellow Daoist Wu last time, I said we would meet again, but I never expected it to happen so soon."

Cheng Xinzhan was somewhat surprised.

"You know each other?"

Huyan Jun explained,

"We ran into each other as I was leaving the mountain after my last visit to the Abbott."

"What a coincidence. Uncle Qing is a good friend of mine and will be staying here. I imagine you'll see him every time you visit, Fellow Daoist Huyan."

Cheng Xinzhan smiled.

Hearing this, Huyan Jun first froze, then burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing about, Fellow Daoist?"

Huyan Zhuo rubbed his chest to steady his breath and said,

"When we first met outside the mountain last time, Fellow Daoist Wu even asked me what sort of person you were, Abbott. So he was testing whether I would secretly speak ill of you behind your back!"

At that, Wu Qingbo merely cupped his hands and let the matter pass with a smile.

After this little interlude, Huyan Jun said to Cheng Xinzhan,

"I truly owe you an apology, Abbott. We agreed on a date, yet I still arrived late. Ah, I really never expected such an enormous upheaval to happen that very day."

"The matter in the south?"

Cheng Xinzhan asked.

Huyan Jun nodded.

"Yes. I imagine you've heard about it
