Uncle Nine: Starting with double pupils, he turned his master into a zombie.

Seeing the shocked look on Si Mu's face, Shi Jian's eyes filled with a sense of nostalgia.

Back when we were cultivating in Maoshan, Si Mu was the most mischievous and troublesome guy, and I often had to take the blame and clean up his messes.

So many years have passed, and Four Eyes has grown old; his temples are graying, and wrinkles are forming at the corners of his eyes...

Although he missed the past, Shi Jian still maintained the demeanor of the senior disciple, showing no signs of reminiscing or feeling sentimental.

Upon sensing the cultivation level of the four eyes, he immediately frowned and spoke with dissatisfaction.

"Four Eyes, you've really become lazy!"

"After all these years of cultivation, you haven't even reached the peak of Foundation Establishment. What have you been doing every day?"

Hearing that familiar harsh rebuke, Si Mu subconsciously shrank his neck, a look of nostalgia appearing on his face, as if he had returned to his childhood.

"Hahaha... Senior Brother, it's been so many years, there's no need to criticize me the moment we meet, is there?"

Seeing this, Master Ikkyu, who was standing to the side, also lowered his guard, stepped forward, put his hands together, and said.

"So it's the senior disciple of Maoshan in person. I am Yixiu, and I greet Fellow Daoist Shijian."

Shih Chien responded coldly, nodding as if that was the end of it.

At this moment, Simu also hurriedly called out.

"Fellow Daoist Li, Senior Brother, you have arrived just in time."

"I happen to be having dinner with this old bald monk. Come, come, try my apprentice's cooking!"

Upon entering the bamboo house, everyone took their seats, and the originally spacious square table instantly became crowded.

However, as the saying goes, "Don't squeeze people's mouths," so no one said anything because of it.

He noticed that his disciple Jiale would occasionally glance curiously at Li Yu's double pupils.

Si Mu suddenly slapped his forehead, realizing he hadn't introduced himself yet.

"Oh dear, it's my fault, it's my fault. Come, come, let me introduce you."

"This is my senior brother, Shi Jian. He has a bad temper, so don't mess with him!"

"This is Fellow Daoist Li Yu, the legendary person with double pupils. It is an honor for you juniors to meet him."

"Senior Brother, Fellow Daoist Li, this is...."

After the introductions, everyone should have continued eating.

However, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward at this moment.

There was no way around it; Shi Jian's aura of keeping strangers at bay was simply too strong!

Not to mention the younger generation like Jingjing and Jiale, even Master Yixiu was a little nervous.

Since Shi Jian, the senior disciple of Maoshan, didn't start eating, he didn't dare to touch his chopsticks either!

But Shi Shaojian, that rascal, showed no fear at all. He picked up his chopsticks and started showing off, even adding a comment at the end.

"It's bland, and tastes a bit unpleasant."

Instantly, Jia Le glared at him angrily.

Shi Shaojian was not afraid at all and glared back.

Li Yu watched this scene with great interest, his eyes filled with amusement.

He seemed to be thinking about who would win if these two juniors fought.

At this moment, Si Mu asked curiously.

"Fellow Daoist Li, how did you meet my senior brother?"

"Oh, this? I met Fellow Daoist Shi at the gathering in Hengcheng."

After a brief description, a look of understanding flashed in Si Mu's eyes, and then he spoke with some regret.

"What a pity. If we had known that Senior Brother was there, we would have insisted on going to see him when you invited Senior Brother Yimei and me."

"After we left the mountain, we all went our separate ways and haven't gotten together for many years."

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since we've heard from Qianhe. Back in Maoshan, he was the most diligent in his cultivation. I wonder what he's up to now..."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jian immediately looked over and said with a cold smile.

"Chizuru? You'll be seeing that brat soon enough."

"I came here for him!"

Upon hearing this, their keen eyes immediately sensed that something was amiss.

"Senior Brother, what happened to Junior Brother Qianhe?"

"What are you doing? He's colluding with the Qing government and working for them. What do you think he's doing?!"

Upon hearing this, Si Mu was immediately taken aback.

"What? Junior Brother Qianhe is actually working for the Qing government?"

"Senior Brother, you and I both know Junior Brother Qianhe's character; he's definitely not the kind of person who can't resist temptation!"

"There must be some hidden story behind this!"

Shi Jian snorted coldly.

"He better be!"

Then, Shi Jian began to recount the matter of the frontier prince returning to the capital, and how he would pass through Zhushan on his way.

Whether for supplies or to catch a glimpse of each other, Chizuru will inevitably stay here.

This is precisely why Shi Jian came to his door....

Li Yu, standing to the side, looked at the two fellow disciples and a wicked smile suddenly appeared on his face!

Why not make an already interesting situation even more interesting?

With that in mind, he released the shield against the light of ten thousand miles within his body!

at the same time.

The Imperial City, headquarters of the Hidden Dragon Guard.

The officer of the housekeeping received the report from his subordinates immediately.

"Has that thug appeared?"

"Good, good, good... We'll definitely take down this madman this time!"

"Let me see where it is..."

When the internal affairs officer saw Zhushan's location, he was just about to get up to find Jia Yi when he suddenly realized something.

Wait a minute! This place!

Zhushan?!

The steward seemed to have an idea and began frantically flipping through the files.

One of the stops along the route taken by Qianhe on the prince's return to the capital was Zhushan!

In an instant, the steward realized something.

"Damn it, that bastard, is he planning to intercept and kill the prince's corpse?"

"Son of a bitch!!!"

In the empty, secret room, the steward kicked open the door and barged in.

Jia Yi, who was cultivating, couldn't help but frown.

Before he could ask a question, the steward spoke up anxiously.

"That thug has reappeared! In Zhushan!"

"I suspect he's trying to intercept and kill the prince's corpse!"

"This matter concerns the vital interests of the nation, as you know. Go immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Yi did not speak, but silently got up and asked for Wanliguang's location.

Summon Class 2 and Class 3, depart immediately!

The top three members of the Hidden Dragon Guard have all been mobilized at this moment!

................

Two days later in the blink of an eye.

Li Yu, Shi Jian, Simu, and Yixiu were gathered together discussing.

"Fellow Daoist Li, Senior Brother, what are your thoughts on the matter at White Horse Temple?"

"It's the one where the eldest brother and junior sister are together, and then the youngest brother gets involved too!"

"Speaking of which, these are all bald nuns, yet they're getting involved in love affairs, tsk tsk tsk... The world is going to the dogs!"

Upon hearing this, Ikkyu's eyes widened instantly.

"Hey, hey, hey, Four Eyes, don't cause trouble!"

Isn't it a bit too much of you to talk about the scandals of Baima Temple in front of him, a disciple of Baima Temple?

Relying on the presence of Li Yu and Shi Jian, Si Mu disregarded the important matter of Ikkyu and continued to provoke him recklessly.

Master Ikkyu was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at Simu for a long time, wanting to curse but unable to get the words out.

He could only look at Li Yu and Shi Jian with a wronged expression, as if to say...

Fellow Daoist Li, Fellow Daoist Shi, look at him!

Not far away, Shi Shaojian, Jiale, and Jingjing, these younger generation members, were gathered together.

Shi Shaojian, who should have been focusing his attention on Jingjing and thinking wildly about adult content, was sitting alone to the side.

Jingjing politely stepped forward and handed her a plate of fruit.

As a result, Shi Shaojian didn't even glance at him, and directly slapped him away.

Upon seeing this, Jia Le instantly became furious.

"Hey, what are you arguing about?"

"Always acting all high and mighty, who are you trying to impress? Don't think that just because your master is my master's senior brother, I'm afraid of you!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Jian glanced sideways and uttered a casual remark.

"Weakling!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Le was instantly enraged, but he couldn't refute it.

After all, they've had quite a few arguments these past few days.

But he never managed to beat Shi Shaojian.

Shi Shaojian was, after all, Shi Jian's own son, and had been raised by his side since childhood. It was only natural that his cultivation was a level above that of his peers.

"You bastard, I can't stand you anymore!"

"Come on, this time I'm going to beat you so badly you'll be begging for mercy!"

Seeing that Jiale was about to humiliate himself again, Jingjing quickly stopped him from the side.

Shi Shaojian didn't even give it a glance.

This made Jia Le even angrier, and he started baring his teeth and brandishing his claws...

Shi Jian was very pleased to see this.

Good... this rebellious son has finally started to behave like a human being.

As for his duel with Jia Le?

It's just a minor incident, nothing to worry about.

He had to beat up all his fellow disciples one by one before he was confirmed as the eldest disciple.

"Young people are so energetic!"

Looking at the noisy trio of Jia Le and his companions, Si Mu couldn't help but sigh.

Shi Jian stroked his beard and nodded.

Master Ikkyu was all smiles; the sight of these three noisy people almost melted his heart.

This is youth!

Li Yu was different from these three old men.

He's in the prime of his youth, what's there to be sentimental about?

Suddenly, Li Yu looked over and a smile appeared on his lips.

"It's finally here..."
