Chen Shuangbai did not harbor much hostility towards the Huangji Chen Clan.
Lineage grows larger, with more descendants and branches, there will inevitably be more voices and opinions.
Therefore.
He merely warned Huangji Chen Clan, without resorting to any real measures.
However, Huangji Chen Clan were quite ungrateful.
They came to me several times, asking me to help them... That's impossible.
After returning to the Evil Hunting Hall and his own office where he reviewed official documents, Chen Shuangbai summoned the pageboy on duty, gave him a message, and said, "Send him to Senior Sister Yan Heng in the Scripture Transmission Hall."
The child should claim yes.
Not long after.
Yan Heng saw Chen Shuangbai's message, but her face remained expressionless. Instead, she summoned someone and said, "Send someone to see if they can find any of the newly admitted disciples with top-tier aptitude. Tell them there are arrangements within the hall, and they should familiarize themselves with the rituals as soon as possible and focus on their cultivation."
Chen Shuangbai's meaning is very simple.
He asked Yan Heng to do him a small favor by temporarily "confining" Chen Zonglin and several other disciples, so that they could focus on their cultivation and wouldn't have time to cause him trouble.
He had considered killing the man.
However... given his current status and position, this is far too degrading, and if this cannot be investigated, it would be a grave offense.
He cannot do it, nor should he be allowed to do it.
As for whether the latter could catch up with him... Chen Shuangbai never worried about that.
A gentle breeze is blowing, and the sky is clear and bright.
As the spring breeze caresses the earth, the mountains and fields are revitalized, Mother Earth dons her green coat once more, and lakes, like bright pearls, dot the landscape, making it exceptionally colorful and vibrant.
Chen Shuangbai went to the main hall and asked Luo Tao for leave.
On both sides of Luo Tao's jade desk were still piled high with official documents. Without even looking up, he waved his hand, said "I know," and then chased Chen Shuangbai out.
Standing at the entrance of the hall, Chen Shuangbai shrugged and said nothing more.
After working together for some time, he had come to understand his senior master's temperament.
As for his reason for taking leave... it was to accompany his master to celebrate an elder's birthday.
The Carriage Office under the Expenditure Hall sent a dragon-drawn carriage. Unlike the dragon-drawn carriage that Chen Shuangbai rode in last time, this dragon-drawn carriage had four dragon-drawn beasts as its mounts, two green and two yellow. These were special dragon-drawn beasts that the Jade Spring Sect had cultivated using Secret Method.
It is fundamentally different from a real dragon.
These dragon-like beasts look quite intimidating and magnificent, and using them to pull carts would certainly make for a very impressive display.
This is the fundamental purpose of designing this chariot.
On the dragon chariot.
Chen Shuangbai withdrew her gaze from the scenery below, which was gradually turning into mottled patches of color, and turned to look at her master.
The master and apprentice, who rarely travel together, looked relaxed.
One was drinking hot tea brewed by a servant, while the other was reading a book at the table; it was quite an interesting sight.
Buzz!
Suddenly.
A soft sound suddenly came from the left side of the dragon carriage. Chen Shuangbai lifted the curtain on the carriage window and looked closely. She saw her senior brother Li Changfeng standing on the left, with rolling clouds at his feet. Beside him was a boy in brocade clothes who looked very clever and also stared at Chen Shuangbai.
" Master Yi!"
Upon hearing the man's voice, Yi Chongyue immediately recognized him. He got out of the carriage, smiled, and said, "Senior Brother, this is...?"
Li Changfeng smiled and bowed in greeting, then gently nudged the boy beside him, saying somewhat awkwardly, "I heard you're going to the Wu Country. Could you do me a favor and take this little brat with you to his mother?"
Yi Chongyue looked at the boy, who, being perceptive, respectfully raised his hand in greeting, " Li Chenguang greets Martial Uncle Yi."
Grandmaster Uncle...
Chen Shuangbai was slightly surprised when she heard this address.
The moment he saw the child, he knew he wasn't from the lineage of a mere guard, and the brocade robe he wore was a rare Law Artifact. He had assumed the child was his Martial Uncle Li's child, but it turned out to be his grandson.
Looking at the boy's obedient and adorable appearance, and then at Li Changfeng's expectant eyes, Yi Chongyue said with a wry smile, "It seems that this Little Chenguang has been giving your senior brother quite a headache these past few days."
Li Changfeng looked up at the sky and sighed, nodding in agreement.
Li Chenguang immediately became dissatisfied, looked up at his grandfather, and complained, "Grandfather, what are you saying, Grandmaster Uncle... What have Guang'er done wrong?"
Li Changfeng was already used to the demon pill's acting skills, so he didn't reply, but simply tossed it over and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, junior brother."
Having said that, he transformed into a streak of emerald sword light and vanished without a trace, leaving as if fleeing a disaster.
Seeing his grandfather's appearance, Li Chenguang stomped his foot in annoyance, quite angry, his little mouth puffed out, but he still obediently followed Yi Chongyue and Chen Shuangbai into the dragon carriage.
The carriage was spacious, and Yi Chongyue had brought his usual attendants from Deer Deep Waters Peak. Upon seeing that it was Li Chenguang, a virgin, they produced several plates of fruit from somewhere and handed them to him.
"Master?"
Chen Shuangbai looked at the boy, then at her master, and secretly transmitted her voice, "I haven't heard that Martial Uncle Li has any offspring?"
He has been in the sect for almost twenty years.
Chen Shuangbai had never seen Li Changfeng's offspring before... but suddenly a grandson appeared, which aroused her curiosity.
Yi Chongyue watched with a smile as Li Chenguang angrily ate his pastries, and replied telepathically:
"My senior brother had a son, but he was kidnapped."
There's more to this story?
Chen Shuangbai's gossip spirit was instantly ignited and burned fiercely.
Then Yi Chongyue began to speak:
"When your Martial Uncle Li was still Qi Refining disciple, he became a dao companion with another disciple in the sect. They were very much in love, and many years later they had a son, whom they named Li Muxian."
"This Muxian inherited the looks of your Martial Uncle Li's first wife; she is very beautiful. However, her temperament is unlike your Martial Uncle Li's; she is impatient and often travels to various countries to hone her swordsmanship."
"By chance, I met a female cultivator. Due to certain events, the two found themselves kindred spirits and traveled together for a while, venturing into secret realms and slaying demons, which sang a beautiful tale."
"Later, feelings blossomed between them, and they became dao companion."
"Your Senior Brother Li originally intended to bring her back to the sect, but unfortunately, the female cultivator was also a member of a respectable cultivation Lineage in the Wu Country, and she was the most outstanding member of her family. Therefore, he was unwilling to let her go. Moreover, at that time, her family seemed to be facing some external pressure and needed her to stay and oversee things."
"Your senior brother Li stayed in Wu Country for the time being and became someone's son-in-law."
Chen Shuangbai suddenly realized.
The Jade Spring Sect does not prohibit its disciples from marrying, and the disciples of the sect have quite a few children.
"Then... why did you say that your uncle's son was 'kidnapped'?"
Chen Shuangbai was actually more concerned about this.
