Bai Xiuyuan stuck out his tongue and licked his slightly chapped lips, saying, "Brother, this is clearly a ploy to sabotage my Azure Flood Dragon Society, and you still want to go?"
Bai Zhixing took a sip of the medicinal tea beside him. " Chen Shuangbai is the garrison commander, and Wind Howling Ford is also part of the Jade Spring Sect's territory. If we don't go, it will give him a legitimate reason to deal with us."
"The territory of the Jade Spring Sect... If you ask me, why don't we go home and beg my mother? From now on, Phoenix Howling Ford will be the territory of my Azure Flood Dragon Society?"
"Shut up."
Bai Zhixing glared fiercely at his younger brother.
Have you forgotten how we were treated at home?
Bai Xiuyuan also recalled those very difficult years, curled his lips, and stopped arguing.
But being a free spirit by nature, he couldn't help but say it.
"Brother, you dare to keep the appointment? Do you already have a plan?"
Bai Zhixing: "After he finished dealing with the local clans, he rested for five months. He must have been investigating the other three of us, both openly and secretly. Next, he'll probably target our Azure Flood Dragon Society's Dragon King Levy Juan."
"What should we do then?"
Bai Xiuyuan's expression became somewhat agitated.
"This Dragon King Levy is the lifeblood of our Azure Flood Dragon Society. If we lose it, our cultivation will also be in trouble."
"It's alright, we have this. As long as he follows the rules, he won't cause any trouble."
Bai Zhixing took out a piece of leather with a message and a signature on it.
Bai Xiuyuan knew about this thing, but he was still a little worried.
"This was left behind by the previous garrison commander, Chen Shuangbai... can he recognize it?"
Bai Zhixing, " The Jade Spring Sect is the leading righteous sect in the Jing Kingdom and is the most law-abiding. This thing may have some illegitimate origins, but Chen Shuangbai has his concerns about completely overthrowing it."
"Let's speed things up while we have this time... Is Yu Laoliu still unwilling to join us?"
Yu Laoliu is the trainer of the Rosy Clouds Abode Alliance who is in charge of training the Silver Light Fish.
The two brothers from the Azure Flood Dragon Society were impressed by his ability to tame Silver Light Fish, so they offered a high price to poach him.
The couple from the Rosy Clouds Abode Alliance naturally refused, and the two sides argued several times, causing damage to each other, but they had not yet broken off relations.
However, the Azure Flood Dragon Society remained undeterred.
They secretly contacted Yu Laoliu's family through a third party, trying to persuade him to come over by talking to outsiders.
Bai Xiuyuan, "That old guy is like a rock in a cesspool, smelly and hard, you can't break him no matter what."
"It's alright. Find some people to lure his only son into the casino."
Three more days passed.
Bamboo groves outside the county.
Spring-Venerating Daoist Academy.
Bai Zhixing led several skilled members of his guild to the banquet, but when they arrived outside the bamboo forest, they discovered that it seemed that his Azure Flood Dragon Society was not the only one there.
With the return of the Golden Seal of Guardianship, the original formation of the bamboo forest was restored.
This formation is quite mysterious, connecting the earth's energy in the bamboo forest with the water vapor above. Unless something containing immense power is used to destroy the bamboo forest as well, it can only be slowly worn down over time.
Bai Zhixing to her and saw the woman in Ziyi who had arrived before him and was waiting outside the bamboo forest. His expression changed slightly, but he still politely stepped forward to greet her.
"I never expected that Garrison Commander Chen would also host a banquet for Lady Yun?"
" Lady Yun, it's been a long time! You're as beautiful as ever, even more so than before."
The woman in Ziyi, called Lady Yun, was about thirty years old. She had a graceful figure, a beautiful face, and a charm that a young girl had never experienced.
She looked up at the sound, saw it was the other person, and gave a slight nod in response.
"Who do we have here? It's none other than Leader Bai of the Azure Flood Dragon Society! No wonder my right eyelid has been twitching nonstop all this way."
After saying that, he fell silent.
Bai Zhixing seemed oblivious to the barb in the other person's words, his face still bearing a warm smile, though the smile didn't reach his eyes.
Bai Zhixing tried to get some information from Lady Yun, but Lady Yun was fed up with the Azure Flood Dragon Society and her words were full of sarcasm, so the atmosphere was quite tense.
Bai Zhixing wasn't annoyed and asked again, " Lady Yun came alone. Could it be that Fellow Daoist Han has encountered a problem in his cultivation?"
Lady Yun's beautiful eyes immediately glared at her, a hint of annoyance appearing on her face.
This statement is no different from Curse her husband to Qi Deviation with evil spirits.
How could she not be angry?
"You surnamed Bai, could it be that you...?"
But before Lady Yun could finish speaking, several clumps of lush bamboo in front of the two groups of people seemed to come alive and made way for them.
Zhuang Wen stepped out, slightly raised his head, and spoke calmly.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, Fellow Daoist Yun, you have been waiting for a long time."
"My master has already prepared a banquet at the Listening to the Waves Pavilion. Please follow me."
That's all.
Zhuang Wen turned around and walked into the bamboo forest first.
Lady Yun glared at Bai Zhixing, then led her two maids into the bamboo forest. The latter, unperturbed, followed closely behind.
After walking for about half the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, the view suddenly opened up before us.
Nestled within the bamboo grove is a clear lake, beside which stands a small courtyard with a charming little building, elegantly situated by the water.
Zhuang Wen stopped in front of the pavilion door, turned around and said to the two, "My martial uncle is upstairs. Please come in."
Bai Zhixing and Lady Yun naturally had no objections. They instructed their subordinates to wait downstairs, and then entered the courtyard one after the other.
The two entered Listening to the Waves Pavilion and saw a Daoist priest in green robes sitting inside. His demeanor was otherworldly, like a precious jade nurtured in a cold spring, reflecting the bright moonlight.
Even though the two of them were already hostile towards Chen Shuangbai, they had to admit that her appearance was truly stunning.
Chen Shuangbai turned around and said gently, "Fellow Daoist Yun, Fellow Daoist Bai, it is my fault for keeping you both waiting."
The two men sat down one after the other, but upon hearing this, they stood up again and said they dared not accept it.
Not long after.
Four or five students from the Daoist academy walked out of the courtyard and brought out dishes, all of which were seasonal dishes, but made with mountain delicacies, which was quite unique.
The main dish was naturally a pure white fish soup made from Silver Light Fish.
This is just a simple meal, nothing special, I hope you two won't find it offensive.
"Commander Chen, you are too kind. It is our honor to be hosted by the Commander-in-Chief."
Lady Yun quickly replied, and Bai Zhixing smiled in response.
There was no wine, but there was a cup of tea.
Chen Shuangbai looked at the two of them.
Lady Yun is at the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining, while her husband, Han Shouke, is at the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining. It is said that he also knows the Secret Method of dual cultivation, so he is the true leader of the Rosy Clouds Abode Alliance.
Judging from his Law Power, he should have a fire and earth Spirit Root, with fire as the primary element and earth as the secondary element, which explains his somewhat violent temper.
And this Bai, the president of the Azure Flood Dragon Society...
He looked like he had kidney deficiency, and his outward cultivation level was Sixth Layer of Qi Refining, but Chen Shuangbai vaguely sensed it through the profound mysteries of the " Moonlight Spirit-Nourishing Instruction ".
Chen Shuangbai realized that this guy must have hidden cultivation, and he gave off a cold and sticky feeling.
Like a venomous snake lurking beneath a pile of fallen leaves, watching you from who-knows-how-from angle.
Chen Shuangbai's thoughts shifted slightly, but her face still wore a gentle smile.
But the more he acted this way, the more the two of them felt that today's meal... might not be so delicious.
