Chapter 122: The Head of the Meeting Explains the Questions and the Heavenly Army

The backyard of the Alchemist Guild.

Strands of black air were circling around the scene with their fangs and claws bared.

But after the old leader surrendered, their morale became even lower, and bursts of wailing were heard from them.

"Eunuch! How dare you..."

Finally, with a loud shout, the black gas turned into a ball and was held in the old leader's hand.

At this moment, cheers suddenly rang out from all around:

"As expected of the leader, the old ones are still the best!"

"The president of the association is old but still strong, so what if he is just a county school principal?"

The old leader's face flushed. He raised his chin and looked around proudly, accepting the flattery and cheers from the crowd.

Yu Que, who was standing aside, also looked up at the man, but he heard the other party's voice in his ears:
"What are you doing standing there, you little brat? Come over here and help me."

Yu Que's heart trembled at this moment, and he reacted immediately. It was obvious that although the old leader had just displayed great power, he had also consumed a lot of his energy and magic power, and might be exhausted at this moment.

Yu Que walked out quickly, and hurriedly went to the front of the old leader. He bowed to him, and then supported him.

Sure enough, when he held the man's hand, he found that his fingers were trembling slightly.

Yu Que was worried and hesitated to speak.

Fortunately, the old leader saw his expression and immediately sent a message to Yu Que's ears:

“It’s okay, I’m just exhausted, nothing serious.

Alas, I am old, I am old after all. You should talk to me more and let me take a break. "

Then, this person continued to maintain his mysterious appearance, pretending to be serious and listening to Yu Que's speech in a disjointed manner.

When other people in the Alchemist Guild saw the two of them, it seemed that the old leader was giving instructions to Yu Que, and Yu Que was listening attentively.

After a while, Huang Guishan next to them finally caught his breath. He staggered and hurriedly walked in front of the two of them.

Huang Guishan looked at the old leader and Yu Que with gratitude and shame on his face, his voice was hoarse and he was unable to speak.

The old leader shouted in a low voice:
"Wait a minute, don't embarrass yourself here or make others feel awkward. Let's talk about everything after we get back."

This person really cares about his image in the eyes of everyone in the guild, and is afraid that Huang Guishan will do something again and ruin his efforts.

Then, under the gazes of everyone in the Alchemist Guild.

The old leader gave a detailed instruction to both Master Yu Que and his disciple before he calmly and calmly led them towards the depths of the guild.

After their figures disappeared, someone at the scene stepped forward, looked at the various traces left by the fight, and exclaimed in amazement.

"Although it looks like the county schoolmaster has only sent out an incarnation of a family god, this person is still not as powerful as our old leader after all."

"Of course, the Master is always hard and stiff!"

the other side.

Yu Que and the other two walked straight ahead until they reached an empty area. Then he and Huang Guishan simply lifted up the old leader and carried him into the quiet room.

After entering the quiet room, the old leader drove the master and disciple away with disdain:

"Go, go, go, get out of the way."

A charming laugh was heard, and the beautiful female god that he kept came forward with a smile.

Her body seemed both real and unreal, and she supported the man with her soft and boneless body, allowing the old leader to rest his head comfortably on her chest.

Facing the shameless old man who was completely different from before, Yu Que and Huang Guishan looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes, not knowing what to say.

Fortunately, the master and the disciple knew to bow to each other and thank each other for their help today.

"Thank you, leader, for helping me today!"

"I will never forget this!"

When the old leader heard this, he narrowed his eyes, pointed casually towards the quiet room, and said:
"Find a place to sit down. Don't stand there like a log. Don't act like you are visiting a dying person. I am just tired. I know my limits. If you really want me to work hard for you, you are not qualified."

Seeing that the other party was still able to joke, Yu Que and Huang Guishan both breathed a sigh of relief.

They hesitated for a while, and although they all sat on the stools nearby, they did not sit down and still faced the old leader respectfully.

Seeing the two of them like this, the old leader sighed and was too lazy to argue with them anymore. Instead, he spoke slowly and talked about business:
"The guy surnamed Huang in the county school today was beaten up by the old Taoist priest and even suppressed a household god in his hands.

But the evidence is solid that you went up the mountain without permission this time, and you were caught red-handed by this group of masters and disciples. Even I, an old man, can do nothing.

You should pack up your things and go up the mountain to the Huang family to accept the punishment."

Huang Guishan did not show any surprise when he heard this. Instead, he seemed relieved and bowed calmly:
"Yes. I am a useless person and I am sorry for causing you trouble."

Yu Que, who was standing aside, frowned, and wanted to ask something, but he didn't know where to start. He also didn't know how serious the punishment mentioned by the old leader, that was to go up the mountain and accept the punishment, was.

It was the old leader who saw his puzzled look and immediately sent him a message, giving him a brief explanation.

But this explanation made Yu Que's face even gloomier and his brows furrowed.

It turned out that when the descendants of the nine clansmen on the mountain committed crimes, they would usually be punished by the clan first, and then handed over to the Taoist Palace for punishment.

This matter was originally set up by the nine families on the mountain in order to strictly restrain their disciples. Their own punishments were never light, but later it evolved into a private privilege of the nine families on the mountain, which was criticized by the master and disciples.

Because the people of the Nine Families would often delay handing over the disciples who had violated the palace rules to the Taoist Palace on the grounds that the punishment within the clan had not yet been completed, and would not release the disciples until there was an opportunity for them to redeem themselves for their crimes.

Of course, when it comes to matters of life and death or vendettas, unless the nine families on the mountain directly kill their clansmen or completely appease the victims’ grievances, it would be impossible for them to cover up the murderer.

As for Huang Guishan, although he had already separated from the family and moved down the mountain, it was not long since the separation. He still had many acquaintances in the Huang family and the Taoist Palace. In terms of status, he was the patriarch of the Huang family branch down the mountain.

Now that Huang Guishan had violated the palace rules, he could still tie himself up and go up the mountain, relying on the Huang family's protection to avoid the severe punishment of the master and apprentice lineage. However, the death penalty could be avoided, but the living punishment could not be escaped, and the Huang family would not completely favor him.

According to the old leader, there is a 99% chance that Huang Guishan's cultivation will not be destroyed when he goes up the mountain this time, but he will definitely be confined to the Huang family's criminal yard in the future, like a chicken or a duck being kept in a pen, under the name of reflection, but in reality it is house arrest.

And this is already because Yu Que is a member of the Temple of Heaven and has great potential in the future, and he and Huang Guishan have a master-disciple relationship, so Huang Guishan enjoys some benefits.

Otherwise, the Huang family would often go even further than the palace rules when dealing with such "branch clan members", and it is possible that they would be beaten or killed directly, in order to avoid being criticized and bringing disgrace to the family.

In the quiet room, Yu Que digested what the old leader said. He couldn't help but want to get a more precise answer from him:
"Are the consequences of today's incident really that serious? I have to rely on the Huang family for protection in order to end up under house arrest for life?!"

His voice was full of doubt and confusion.

Huang Guishan was slightly startled when he heard this, but he immediately understood that it must be the old leader who had just conveyed the message and explained it to Yu Que.

The man hesitated, wanting to say something, but in the end he just chuckled and comforted:
"Not really, not really, how can it be that serious. Besides, even if it is that serious, this kind of ending would only fulfill Huang's wish to return to the mountains. Hahahaha, I can die in the mountains."

"Master." Yu Que looked at his master with a guilty look on his face.

The old leader looked at the master and disciple and said unhappily:
"You said it's not possible, so it's not possible?
Do you really think that group of masters and apprentices are good people? This group of people usually say rules and act righteously, but once they catch you, they will beat you to death.

Being under house arrest in the Huang family is already a blessing for this guy. Otherwise, you will just have to wait for him to die in the mines or somewhere else, and you won’t even be able to collect his body.”

This made sense and it shattered Yu Que's last bit of fantasy.

He also realized that he and Huang Guishan had offended the superior in the Examination Institute and the Seventh Scholar. Compared with their realm, they were both mere ninth-grade immortals.

Yu Que himself, at least has the identity of a Taoist of the Temple of Heaven, which makes him somewhat useful, but Huang Guishan does not have that. If he were not under house arrest by the Huang family, he would have no ability to protect himself.

Suddenly, the old leader looked at the spherical black gas that his wife was holding up, and sighed:
"What a pity. If I want to save Huang Guishan, I have to return this evil god that I got with great difficulty later. Otherwise, I will offend the seventh scholar to death and really endanger your life."

Huang Guishan showed shame on his face and immediately bowed: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr.

The old leader nodded to accept the greeting. After he pondered for a moment, he said, "Xiao Huang, go down with your sister-in-law first and pack some things. I will take you up the mountain later.

As for now, Yu Xiaozi and I still have something to talk about."

Huang Guishan immediately nodded in agreement. Without any hesitation, he walked out of the quiet room.

Just before stepping out of the threshold, Huang Guishan couldn't help but look back at Yu Que.

The two looked at each other, but their eyes were not complicated, but extremely clear.

Huang Guishan grinned at Yu Que, showing an attitude that he was not worried about the future situation at all, which made Yu Que feel at ease.

Following closely behind was the wife of the head of the association, who also cast a coquettish glance at Yu Que and slowly left the quiet room.

At this time, the room was silent, with only Yu Que and the old leader staring at each other.

The old leader slowly climbed onto the bed, pounded his legs, and said:

"Your master can't be saved for the time being. As a man, you should just bear this little pressure. In the future, even if you can't become a Gang God, as long as you can successfully condense the evil spirit as soon as possible, you will be a big figure in the world.

When the time comes, there will be a thousand ways to get your master out."

When Yu Que heard this, his eyes fixed, knowing that what the other party said made sense.

Although Huang Guishan was put under house arrest because he rescued him from the mountain, his cultivation level is low now and he can do nothing about it. He can only bear this responsibility in his heart and never forget it.

What he should do most is to keep this matter in mind and practice well. Once his magic power is fully developed in the future, he can rescue that person and repay the favor!

"Thank you for your advice, Chairman." Yu Que bowed in thanks.

Seeing Yu Que's resolute expression, the old leader nodded with satisfaction:

"As expected of a Taoist who can open a temple on his own, your character is quite acceptable. But you thanked me too early. Next, you should thank me. Well, you should also thank your master."

Yu Que lowered his head, pretending to listen attentively.

The old leader pinched his fingers and combed his hair for him:

"Although you have offended that guy in the Examination Institute, there is more than one master-disciple lineage on the mountain. Do you still want to go to the mountain and join that master-disciple lineage?"

Yu Que did not hesitate and kept shaking his head.

The lineage of that master and disciple is called the "clear stream" but is actually a turbid stream. The intrigues and deceit within are even worse than those of the aristocratic families. They can be called "academic cliques". He would have to be crazy to take the initiative to stick to them.

Even if he changes to another mountain, he will most likely become a so-called "Taoist soldier" in the future.

And once he really becomes a disciple of the master, Huang Guishan will probably never be able to come out again in this life.

After receiving Yu Que's answer, the old leader said:
"Since you don't want to work for the master-disciple lineage, then do you want to get close to the aristocratic family and rely on Xiao Huang's relationship to become a son-in-law in the Huang family?"

Yu Que pondered for two breaths and shook his head again.

He is not from a noble family, and his ancestors have no blood relationship with the nine families on the mountain.

Even if because of Huang Guishan, he might be able to join the family and become a son-in-law or something, but who knows if his end would be even more miserable than that of the "Taoist soldier"?
However, after giving up the above two options, Yu Que thought that he had no better way except to leave the county, drop out of school, and go to other regions to take the Taoist examination.

However, the cost of leaving the county and dropping out of school is indeed very high. Moreover, if he goes to other areas, he will be unfamiliar with the place and there is a high possibility that he will die on the road.

Yu Que thought about it and decided to discuss it in detail with the old leader.

At this moment, the old leader suddenly clapped his hands and laughed:
"Haha, kid, this is not good, and that is not good. Then you can only join the army and become a clean-handed lackey!"

"A lackey?" Yu Que was stunned.

Soon, with a few words of advice from the old leader, he suddenly understood where his way out was and why the situation on Mount Huangshan was so severe and harsh.

It turns out that in today's world, apart from the conflicts between masters and apprentices, and between aristocratic families, there is another force that is still trying to suppress the entire Middle-earth and prevent it from falling apart for the time being.

This force is the imperial army.
