One person: Orochi, starting with Feng Baobao's Eight Heroes.

Chapter Ninety: The Events of That Year, The Theory of the 36 Thieves!

"Yes, what if I and Chu Lan face off beforehand?"

Chen Qi was somewhat worried.

"Hehe, that's your own business. As a dignified Celestial Master's Mansion, I can't possibly help you juniors cheat, can I?"

The old master said with a smile.

"Aren't you afraid we'll face off against you prematurely?"

Chen Qi frowned.

This has always been Chen Qi's biggest worry, which is why he arranged for Feng Baobao and Chen Duo to participate together.

This way there's still room for maneuver!

"Young man, it's never a bad thing to rely on yourself more!"

The old master smiled and refused to budge.

"Alright then, I already had plans!"

Seeing this, Chen Qi said no more.

"These are the two girls, right? You have so much confidence in them?"

Lu Jin was a little curious.

"Since the seniors don't intend to help, then we'll just have to watch!"

Chen Qi was too lazy to say anything more.

"Chen Duo, right? You're a Gu Master. Tomorrow it'll be just you and me!"

Xi looked at Chen Duo with a fighting spirit.

You will definitely lose in 06!

Chen Duo looked up at Xi and then said.

"you..."

Xi Yi choked, her eyes fixed on Chen Duo.

"Or we could fight beforehand outside, that would save us the trouble!"

Chen Duo said calmly.

"Oh, I have a terrible temper! Fine, I'll go. If I don't beat you to a pulp today, I'm not a true Shandong man!!"

Short in stature and with a baby face, Xi was so angry that she gritted her teeth and took out her phantom blade to go out and fight Chen Duo.

"Xi, calm down!"

"No, no, no!"

"Please give way to the girl!"

"Exactly, Xi should have gentlemanly manners!"

"Xi, let's play again tomorrow!"

Lu Linglong and the others quickly stopped Xi.

Let's play again tomorrow!

Chen Qi smiled and pinched Chen Duo's delicate little face.

"Well, it's up to you!"

Chen Duo nodded obediently and leaned affectionately against Chen Qi.

"Now that the plan has been decided, let's proceed step by step. Seniors, we'll take our leave now!"

Upon seeing this, Xu Si prepared to take his leave.

"Master!!"

At this moment, Zhang Chulan suddenly knelt down in front of the Old Master and Tian Jinzhong with an excited expression.

"Chu Lan!!"

Xu San and Xu Si looked over.

"Please, Master, just tell me the truth. I heard someone say that my grandfather colluded with the Quanxing demons. Is that true? Is my grandfather a bad person?"

"I know you'll only tell me the truth once I've obtained the Celestial Master qualification, but this matter is truly..."

Zhang Chulan shed tears.

"..."

Everyone present fell silent as they watched this side of Zhang Chulan, which he had never shown before.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, look what you've done to your kid. What's the point of hiding those old grudges?"

Lu Jin said.

"..."

The old master and Tian Jinzhong remained silent.

"Hey, you little brats, get out of here first!"

Lu Jin looked at Lu Linglong and the others he had called over.

"Um, don't Chen Qi and the others need to go out?"

Canglong looked at Chen Qi with resentment; this was clearly a shocking revelation.

"Ok?"

Chen Qi raised an eyebrow and looked over.

"Uh, I didn't say anything!"

Zanglong was startled and quickly followed Lu Linglong and Zhi Jinhua out to close the door, but they were all eavesdropping at the door.

"Actually, there's no need for that. Times have changed, and it's time for the new generation of young people to take up this responsibility and solve some problems. I believe they can do even better than their predecessors!"

Xu Si glanced at the door behind him and said something that resonated deeply with him.

Everyone present knew that Lu Linglong and her group were eavesdropping at the door.

"Look, Lao Zhang, a new era has arrived. The new generation of superhumans are more open to new things, have a more accepting attitude towards others, and are more communicative and understanding than the superhumans of our generation!"

Lu Jin was quite moved by Xu Si's words.

"Yes, the remnants of the Jia Shen Rebellion might just be completely quelled by these outstanding successors!"

The old celestial master looked up at the sky and sighed deeply.

"Speaking of Chu Lan, who told you that your grandfather used to have ties with the Quanxing Sect?"

Chen Qi looked at Zhang Chulan with a puzzled expression.

Since Zhang Chulan didn't go to Lü Ci and Wang Ai's place, he shouldn't know the answer.

"...It was Lü Liang of Quanxing who told me!"

Zhang Chulan paused for a moment before speaking.

"I see. That's not surprising. Some people in the Quanxing sect also know about what happened back then, and they know it even better than I do!"

Lu Jin continued, "..."

“I wasn’t involved in what happened back then, so I don’t know the specifics, but Zhang Chulan, your grandfather’s case wasn’t wrong. Your grandfather did indeed have connections with the Quanxing demons, and they even became sworn brothers!”

Lu Jin looked serious.

"what?"

These words were undoubtedly explosive to Zhang Chulan. He had just witnessed what Quanxing was like, the methods of the four arrogant Quanxing members, and the miserable state of Hu Jie.

Now tell him that his grandfather and the madman from Quanxing became sworn brothers?

Zhang Chulan found it hard to accept.

“It wasn’t just your grandfather; there were other disciples from other prestigious sects who swore brotherhood with him back then. And this Tongtian Lu was created by my best brother, Zheng Zibu of the Shangqing sect of Maoshan!”

Lu Jin looked at the shocked Zhang Chulan and continued:

"Zheng Zibu, Feng Tianyang, the ancestor of the Tianxia Huifeng Association's leader, the 'Great Shaman of Liangshan,' and Ruan Feng, the 'Recluse' who created the Six Treasuries Immortal Thief, were all involved in that sworn brotherhood!"

"There were 36 of them in total, known as the 36 Thieves. More than a dozen of them came from various prestigious and righteous sects!"

Lu Jin continued speaking eloquently:

"The fact that their own disciples and the Quanxing demons have such deep ties is a major headache for the sects involved. They have joined forces to issue a kill order against the 36 Thieves!"

"A kill order?? Master, back then the Celestial Master's Mansion also targeted my grandfather..."

Zhang Chulan was shocked, and the more he listened, the more confused he became.

"No, back then, our master, your great-grandfather, refused to participate in the joint pursuit on the grounds of resisting the national crisis. But at that time, your master Tian and I were worried that your grandfather would not be able to escape, so we went to ask our master to protect your grandfather!"

The old Taoist priest said slowly.

"Sigh, yes, your great-grandfather was famously protective of his own. He told us that refusing to participate in the pursuit already offended other sects, and with the country in crisis, directly protecting them would affect the unity of the supernatural world and be detrimental to the national crisis!"

"However, he also told us that if we could secretly bring your grandfather back to Longhu Mountain, we could use the Longhu Mountain family rules as a pretext to deal with your grandfather and protect him!"

Tian Jinzhong explained.

"So in the end, your advisor Tian and I went down the mountain to secretly search for your grandfather, but unfortunately we found nothing!"

Master Tian said.

"Xiaoyuzi, come in and help me!"

At this moment, Tian Jinzhong shouted to the outside.

"Yes!"

A petite young Taoist priest with a baby face and freckles walked in obediently.

Chen Qi, however, began to carefully examine the young Taoist boy.

Because Chen Qi knew that this was Gong Qing, the current acting leader of the Quanxing Sect!

Chapter Ninety-One: Traces of Existence, the Cool and Handsome Chen Duo!

With Gong Qing's help, Tian Jinzhong's sleeves and trouser legs were lifted up, revealing his already mutilated limbs.

"When I was searching for your grandfather, I was attacked. The identities of those people are still unknown. They interrogated me about your grandfather's whereabouts, but I really didn't know. So they damaged my meridians and destroyed my limbs..."

"I've been a useless person for decades now, but I can say with certainty that I've done right by your grandfather!"

Tian Jinzhong said slowly.

"Actually, surprisingly..."

Zhang Chulan was completely stunned at this moment, his eyes filled with the horrific sight of Tian Jinzhong's severely broken limbs, and tears streamed down his face.

“Child, your grandfather has always understood this, but he didn’t want to bring disaster to the sect, so he preferred to spend his whole life hiding outside. Don’t blame your grandfather!”

As Tian Jinzhong spoke, Zhang Chulan had already knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

"Master! I never expected... because of my grandfather... that you..."

Zhang Chulan burst into tears.

This scene shocked everyone, both those inside the room and Lu Linglong who was eavesdropping outside.

"Ok?"

Chen Qi felt a slightly cool hand slide into his own.

"Baby?"

Chen Qi turned his head and saw that it was Feng Baobao holding his hand.

"Chen Qi, Duo'er, let's go outside!"

Feng Baobao said.
