Evergreen Immortal.

Chapter 7 Huaqing Sect

"My dear nephews, you have come from afar. It is truly an honor for my humble home."

A middle-aged man with a big belly stood in front of the mansion gate.

This person is the head of the Zhu family, Zhu Ping.

Don't be fooled by his bloated appearance, but the head of the Zhu family is actually an expert in Qinghe martial arts. Those who often fight know that this kind of flesh-covered muscles are the most difficult to deal with.

In the past, he relied on his ruthlessness to gain a foothold in Qinghe, but in recent years he has focused on business and has not had to resort to violence, so his temperament has become much softer.

Zhu Ping changed his usual dignified look and smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.

How can I not be happy!
It wasn't just his son Zhu Yue who came to the Zhu Mansion today. There were also three geniuses from the Huaqing Sect. Even the county magistrate would be jealous of this scene.

The Zhu family was very proud.

"I'm sorry to bother you in the next few days, Uncle Zhu."

The oldest man was worthy of being a disciple of a major sect. He was very polite to others and made people feel warm and at ease.

"No trouble, no trouble."

Zhu Ping laughed and waved his hands. He wished that these Huaqing Sect disciples could stay in Qinghe for a longer time.

"Father."

Zhu Yue was the first to jump off his horse.

Zhu Ping looked at his eldest son with satisfaction, and almost said that his son had the potential to become a grandmaster.

Zhu Yue pointed at the oldest man and introduced him, "This is Senior Brother Han Qin, a master of the Eighth-Rank Bronze Bone Realm. Master often praises Senior Brother Han for his future success."

"Brother Zhu, please stop flattering me."

Han Qin chuckled.

Zhu Yue pointed to another honest boy and said, "This is Junior Brother Zhou Hu."

Finally, he pointed to the only girl this time and said, "This is Junior Sister Jiang Yan."

Zhu Ping pointed out one by one: "They are all young and promising talents. Yue'er is in the upper sect, so I would like to ask the three of you to take good care of him."

Han Qin's smile remained unchanged.

Zhou Hu waved his hands shyly.

Jiang Yan had a blank expression on her face.

From this we can see that the four people have different personalities.

Zhu Ping had been in charge of the Zhu family for many years. He was very experienced and would not let the atmosphere become awkward at all. After instructing the servants to entertain the guests well, he found an excuse to leave.

They are all young people, and if he, a man almost forty, were to force his way in, it would only backfire.

Zhu Yue took the three of them to visit the Zhu family garden.

Zhou Hu had already been dazzled by the endless pavilions and towers of the Zhu family: "Brother Zhu, your family is really rich."

Not all of Huaqing Sect's disciples are from prominent families.

There are also people like Zhou Hu who come from humble backgrounds.

Of course, the term "poor family" refers to the aristocratic families whose fortunes have fallen on hard times. Ordinary people are not even qualified to call themselves "poor families."

Zhu Yue was in a good mood after being praised by Zhou Hu: "If you like it, you can stay at my house for a while."

Even though he is the center of attention in Qinghe, he is nothing in Huaqing Sect.

Now that he is praised by his fellow students, he is naturally happy.

The smile on Han Qin's face never seemed to disappear: "The three great families of Qinghe, Zhu, Liu, and Yang, among them, the Zhu family is Junior Brother Zhu's family, how can it not be powerful."

Zhou Hu's face was even more surprised.

I didn't expect that Senior Brother Zhu, who is usually not very prominent, actually has such a good family background.

Zhu Yue was flattered by the two men, but he still said modestly: "Senior Brother Han, you are making fun of me again."

As he spoke, he unconsciously glanced at the girl beside him.

In terms of background, this girl is the best among the four.

Zhu Yue changed the subject: "Brother Han, my father has a good relationship with County Magistrate Zhang of Qinghe. We can first ask the government to help us find the whereabouts of the traitor."

"Very good."

Han Qin readily agreed when he heard it. The reason why the four of them came to Qinghe was certainly not to travel around, but to hunt down a disciple who defected from Huaqing Sect.

Zhou Hu also looked delighted.

If someone from the government could help, it would save a lot of time.

The sooner you complete the task, the sooner you can return to Huaqing Sect to continue practicing.

Yes, even if one becomes a disciple of Huaqing Sect, it is impossible to hide in the mountains and practice meditation forever. Disciples like Zhou Hu and others, unless they have a rich family background, can only obtain resources for practice by completing sect missions.

Martial artists are all money-eating beasts. Even someone as wealthy as Zhu Yue has to go out on missions.

The Zhu family is only wealthy in the secular sense, but there are many things that cannot be bought with money.

In Huaqing Sect, Zhu Yue had seen the scenery on the top of Taishan Mountain. His horizons became higher and higher, and he returned to Qinghe less and less frequently.

If the mission didn't happen to be in Qinghe this time, I might not come here for several years.

Zhu Yue: "That man is a ninth-rank official and has weapons on him. Ordinary officials are no match for him. We will need to take action ourselves."

Han Qin nodded: "Of course."

He is an eighth-grade warrior, so it is more than enough for him to deal with a ninth-grade warrior.

Zhou Hu smiled innocently: "My master praised Senior Brother Han's Luoying Sword as having perfected its charm."

Han Qin heard this and said, "Junior Brother Zhou, are you serious?"

"Of course!"

Zhou Hu said, patting his chest.

Although the four of them call each other senior brothers, they do not have the same master.

Zhou Hu's master is a famous swordsman in Huaqing Sect. Han Qin is naturally happy to be praised by Zhou Hu's master.

At this moment, Jiang Yan, the girl who had been silent all of a sudden, said, "Brother Zhu, your mansion is really full of hidden talents. Even a groom is about to be promoted to a high rank."

Hearing the voice, the three of them looked in the direction of Jiang Yan's gaze in surprise.

Zhu Yue then realized that he had unknowingly reached the stable.

Just now their horses were being led into the stable by an old groom.

Their horses were all worth a fortune, and some were rather unruly, but in the hands of the old groom, they were as docile as sheep.

Zhu Yue remembered that this old groom had stayed in the Zhu family for a long time.

It was so long that it seemed like he had been raising horses since he could remember.

It seems like, calling, calling, calling Li Rui?

"It's a pity that I'm too old and my Qi and blood are exhausted. Let alone entering the realm, it's good enough to maintain my current realm."

Han Qin's just one sentence put the final nail in the coffin for Li Rui.

Boxing is afraid of young people.

When it comes to martial arts, the older you get, the stronger you will become. Unless you can reach the seventh level or above, the longer you live, the weaker your energy and blood will be, and you will only become a whetstone for the younger generation.

Zhu Yue no longer paid attention.

If it were in the past, he might have been interested in winning over a capable groom.

But now, he is wholeheartedly seeking the truth.

Managing power is an inferior technique, and Zhu Yue disdains to do it.

After the four people left.

Only then did Li Rui look at the backs of the four people.

These four boys and girls looked unfamiliar and were not members of the Zhu family. Moreover, they were dressed in fancy clothes. If my guess was correct, they should be the distinguished guests from the Huaqing Sect mentioned by the servants in the mansion.

Wow, he joined the Huaqing Sect at such a young age.

There is really a bright future ahead.

But just as Li Rui lowered his head and prepared to tie the reins——

A line of small words appeared before his eyes.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the primary plot of the Immortal Couple - Getting to Know Each Other. ]
