Chapter 33 The Elder's Widow
Chapter 33 The Elder's Widow (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
Lu Chengfeng did not put down his teacup either. After a long while, he said, "Junior brother, you are in the General Affairs Hall and have the widest source of information. Do you know which elders in the sect have recently passed away and left their wives and concubines in the mountains?"
Cai Zhang was stunned when he heard this, "Brother, are you talking about the elder's remaining frost?"
Without waiting for Lu Chengfeng to answer, he subconsciously thought of Luo Suyi. His eldest senior brother had just passed away not long ago, and he married his master's wife in a hurry.
It's only been a few days, could it be that he has changed his mind again?
He just felt something strange in his heart, but he only thought about Lu Chengfeng's special hobbies, and his expression couldn't help but look a little strange.
Lu Chengfeng naturally knew what he was thinking, but he had no way to explain it, and could only intentionally mislead him. He just coughed twice and said, "Yes, it would be best if she has an outstanding appearance and a charming figure."
Cai Zhang originally thought it was something serious, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Haha, Senior Brother, you really have a unique taste... This... Junior Brother, I really admire you..."
"With your talent, identity and status, you can choose any kind of innocent lady or female disciple you want, isn't it up to you?"
"Why does Senior Brother like those widows?"
He was about to continue speaking, but seeing Lu Chengfeng's threatening look, he couldn't help but shrink his neck and quickly shut up.
"Stop talking nonsense and just say whether you know or not." Lu Chengfeng said with some embarrassment and quickly took a sip of tea to cover up his embarrassment.
Cai Zhang wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. He just felt that the image of his senior brother who was always so dignified and majestic in his mind became inexplicably more vivid and lively at this moment.
He didn't want to annoy his senior brother again, so he thought for a moment and said, "Most of the wives and concubines of the elders in the sect don't see outsiders, so it's hard for me to know whether they are beautiful or ugly."
"But to be honest, there are indeed a few deceased elders in the sect. Every month, the General Affairs Hall arranges their food, clothing, and other expenses, and handles some trivial matters. I know a little about this."
"One of them is Elder Li Yunfeng from the Black Eagle Gorge in the outer peak. He died in a fight in the martial arts world three years ago, leaving behind a pair of children and an old wife."
"There is also Elder Yunyan from Tianzhi Peak. He and Elder Li Muge were originally known as the two pillars of the outer peak. They are good at using combined sword techniques. The two of them joined forces to make a great name for themselves in the martial arts world. They are a pair of immortal lovers that everyone admires."
"It's a pity that Elder Li Muge has gone astray in his practice and it has been ten years. Elder Yunyan now lives alone on Tianzhi Peak and never sees outsiders all year round."
Lu Chengfeng listened silently. Cai Zhang gave a few more examples, but they were all elders from outer peaks. Although their strengths varied, they were not his first choices.
Seeing that Cai Zhang was talking until his mouth was dry, Lu Chengfeng took the initiative to fill his tea cup and asked casually, "Has any of the inner peak elders left behind a widow?"
"Inner Peak?" Cai Zhang was stunned for a moment, then he realized that his senior brother might have other purposes.
All kinds of thoughts were running through his mind, and he wondered if his senior brother had set his eyes on the widow's property. After all, the legacy of an inner peak elder would surely make many people greedy.
But after a brief change of thought, he felt that this was not like the character of his senior brother.
Cai Zhang said with some hesitation: "The family situation of the Inner Peak Elders is supposed to be a secret within the sect. The General Affairs Hall has also repeatedly explained that it must not be disclosed to outsiders at will."
Without waiting for Lu Chengfeng to speak, he continued, "But since you are asking, I will naturally not hide it. But you must not tell anyone, otherwise you will be in big trouble."
Seeing Cai Zhang's bitter face, Lu Chengfeng said calmly: "Don't worry, Junior Brother, our conversation today was spoken by you and heard by me, and no third person will know it." Cai Zhang took the tea handed over by Lu Chengfeng, took two sips to moisten his throat, and then said: "As far as I know, there are seven families of inner peak elders who are taken care of by the General Affairs Hall."
"Whenever an elder dies, his descendants will be taken care of by the sect for thirty years. If there are any promising ones, they will be selected and trained first. If they are not promising, they will be moved out of Yuncang after thirty years."
Lu Chengfeng felt a little frightened when he heard this. Seven elders had died in thirty years. You have to know that these were the elders of the inner peak, and each of them was a hero who could make a name for himself in the martial arts world and was a great man.
"It seems that things are not peaceful in the sect either!"
Thinking of the terrifying roar of the beast, the sword energy that soared into the sky, and the vague shadow in the door, he couldn't help but become more silent.
"I only know three of these seven elders. The other four are under the charge of other deacons of the General Affairs Hall and have not been assigned to us."
"These three elders are Elder Chu Yin of Huanglong Peak, Elder Li Guan of Xuanhe Peak, and Elder Qin Feng of Xuanhe Peak."
Lu Chengfeng's pupils suddenly shrank, "Two of them are elders from Xuanhe Peak?"
Cai Zhang nodded, lowered his voice, and said carefully: "I heard from others in the hall that these two elders died on the same day, and at that time something big happened in the sect, the top leaders were furious, and even the families of these two elders were almost implicated."
Lu Chengfeng felt his heart pounding, and subconsciously thought of the young leader Xun Shuijing who had met with an unexpected disaster, the husband of his cheap master, the peerless evildoer who created the Five Elements Guiyuan Sword Sutra.
He blurted out subconsciously: "Junior brother, do you know how long it has been since the two elders passed away?"
Cai Zhang thought for a moment before saying, "I only heard about it from other fellow disciples, so I don't know much about it, but it should have been about twenty years!"
Lu Chengfeng felt as if a bolt of lightning had exploded in his mind. Xun Shuijing had died twenty years ago. It would be a joke to say that there was no connection between the two.
He vaguely felt that he had touched upon some deeply hidden secrets of the sect, and Zhu Yuxian must have played a crucial role in it.
"I am just a pawn now. I must not rashly get involved. Otherwise, I will be courting death."
Lu Chengfeng suppressed his curiosity and asked, "Among the descendants of these three elders, are there any beautiful ones? It doesn't matter what their age is, as long as they have a charming figure and outstanding appearance, the rest is unimportant."
Cai Zhang immediately winked at him and said with a smile: "I don't know the families of the other two elders, but Elder Li Guan took a concubine a month before his death. The concubine was only sixteen years old at that time."
"Now, twenty years have passed and she is only thirty-six or thirty-seven. I once met her by chance when I went to help deliver food, clothing and daily necessities. She was indeed a charming and charming woman, and I felt pity for her.
"Although she is a little older, she still has the charm and is unforgettable."
When Lu Chengfeng heard this, he was overjoyed. As long as he married her, would he still worry about his martial arts not making rapid progress?
Especially since he had just obtained the secret book of "Xuanhe Qianying Tongyou Sword Art" from Zhu Yuxian. Even if his martial arts improved faster, it was because of his extraordinary talent in swordsmanship.
Who else could have imagined the connection?
"Good brother, tell me quickly about the situation of this elder Yishuang." Lu Chengfeng grabbed Cai Zhang impatiently.
