Chapter 51 5 Peaks 8 Halls
Chapter 51 Five Peaks and Eight Halls (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
Lu Chengfeng stood in front of the door, took a deep breath, hid all his emotions in his heart, and put a smile on his face.
When he arrived at the door, he laughed and said, "I live in a humble house in the mountains. I don't want to have a distinguished guest visit me. Please forgive me for my neglect and rudeness."
In the hall there was a man wearing a brown wide robe but with a dark and thin face. He looked to be in his thirties and was sitting upright drinking tea.
After hearing the laughter, he put down the teacup, stood up and looked outside the door, and saw Lu Chengfeng wearing a white robe with his long hair loose, naturally exuding a free and unrestrained demeanor.
"Junior brother is indeed a carefree person. Such a leisurely attitude is really enviable. Unlike us, who are destined to work hard, running back and forth all day long and have no leisure time."
Lu Chengfeng smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Brother, you are too modest. I am not capable enough, and I don't have enough experience to take on the important task, so I was left alone in the sect."
"To be able to work in the Law Enforcement Hall and be valued by the sect, who doesn't have superb martial arts skills and is well-known for his abilities? Senior brother, this is a case of those who are capable doing more work."
"Hahaha!" Li Qian, who was visiting, couldn't help but smile when he heard this. Everyone likes to hear good words, let alone such a talented junior brother.
After they chatted for a while, they sat down separately. Lu Chengfeng asked the maid to change the tea again, and then asked, "I wonder what business you have with me, Senior Brother?"
Li Qian hesitated for a moment and said, "The reason I came here today is because of my master's order. I want to invite Junior Brother Lu for a while."
"Oh?" Lu Chengfeng's expression changed. "I didn't expect that it was the Great Elder who was looking for me. Can you tell me what the matter is?"
Li Qian took a sip of tea but said nothing: "Master's actions are not something we can predict, but Junior Brother has made great gains in this beast tide. It is said that his swordsmanship has improved by leaps and bounds. Even I have heard of it."
"Master has been paying attention to your news for some time. He must have always been fond of your talents!"
"It was only thanks to Senior Brother Tan and several other senior brothers and sisters that I was able to gain some results by chance. I didn't expect that even the Great Elder would hear about it." Lu Chengfeng smiled bitterly. "The Great Elder is in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall and is very busy. I didn't expect that I would be remembered by him?"
"Junior brother, why are you being so modest?" Li Qian shook his head and said, "I heard that you have already slashed out a two-foot sword energy not long ago. When I was young, I was far inferior to you in sword skills."
"Junior brother, if you have nothing else to do now, can you come with me?"
Lu Chengfeng said respectfully, "Since it is the order of the Great Elder, I naturally dare not disobey. However, it is not appropriate to be untidy in front of an elder. Please allow me to tidy up my clothes, Senior Brother."
Li Qian said: "This is just a small matter. Master doesn't care about it. But it's good for you to respect the old and the wise. You can go ahead. I'll wait for you here."
"Thank you for your understanding, senior brother. I will be back soon." Lu Chengfeng called the maid again and asked her to serve well and not neglect the distinguished guest, and then went to the backyard.
When they got to the room, Luo Suyi asked in confusion, "Husband, has something happened? Why did Senior Brother Zhou Tong and the people from the Law Enforcement Hall come to look for you today?"
Lu Chengfeng smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. I just made some gains in the beast tide, and was noticed by the elders in the sect. The chief elder of the Law Enforcement Hall sent someone to say that he wanted to see me."
"Help me find some suitable clothes. Once I'm dressed, I'll go to the Law Enforcement Hall."
Luo Suyi heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and a smile appeared on his face: "It's good that you are fine. With your talent, it is only a matter of time before you can make a name for yourself in the sect."
As she spoke, she picked out several pieces of clothing from the closet, and finally chose a blue brocade robe, and then put a robe embroidered with black bamboo on him.
Lu Chengfeng already had a handsome face and a slender figure. Now, with the brocade robe as a backdrop, he looked even more handsome, like a young master from an aristocratic family. "My husband is so handsome." Luo Suyi said infatuatedly while putting on the jade crown for Lu Chengfeng and looking at the handsome face of the man in the bronze mirror.
Lu Chengfeng was amused by her naive behavior. After Luo Suyi tied his hair, he hugged the woman around the waist and gave her a long kiss until she was out of breath.
"Are you satisfied now?"
Luo Suyi's eyes were blurred, and she couldn't stand the man's teasing at all. At this moment, she came to her senses and struggled to get up, "Go quickly, don't keep me waiting."
Lu Chengfeng then put her down, and when he was about to leave, he said casually, "If I'm not back at night, tell Li Mo to go to Yuxian Peak."
Luo Suyi was stunned, "Why is this?"
Lu Chengfeng said, "If the Great Elder has any instructions, it would be difficult for me as a disciple to refuse. However, Wanqing left the mountain more than a month ago, and I don't know how she is doing now."
"I was planning to go down the mountain to see her, but if the Great Elder has other instructions, I will be delayed."
"Even if I judge others by my own standards, I will think of a way to shirk responsibility in advance, and then let the people from Yuxian Peak help me escape."
Luo Suyi did not doubt him and said with a smile: "You are really cunning, but you are right. Junior Sister Wanqing has been down the mountain for so long, I don't know how she is now?"
"Her mother has a low status in the clan. She went back this time to arrange a marriage. I hope nothing goes wrong."
Lu Chengfeng hugged her and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. I'll go take a look first."
After comforting Luo Suyi, Lu Chengfeng walked out the door. The moment he turned around, his expression was extremely solemn.
Apart from the 108 outer peaks, the most fundamental ones of the Yuncang Sword Sect are the Five Peaks and Eight Halls.
Below the Sect Master, there are the five peak masters and eight hall masters, these thirteen people are the bigwigs who truly hold power in the Sect.
The masters of the five peaks are also called the abbots, and the masters of the eight halls are distinguished from other elders and are also called great elders.
Among the eight halls, the three halls of fighting and killing, law enforcement and transmission of skills are the most important. In terms of authority and status, they are not inferior to the chief seats of the five peaks.
It would be a joke if such a big shot suddenly asked to see him, a true disciple who had just entered the inner peak. If there was no problem, it would be a joke.
Although Lu Chengfeng did not think that the great elder would do anything bad to him, he had to take precautions in advance. Once an accident happened and Yuxian Peak knew about it, they would definitely take action.
If he doesn't care even when something happens to his own disciple, then his reputation in the sect will be completely ruined.
All the thoughts flashed through his mind one by one, and then Lu Chengfeng went out.
Li Qian waited for a long while without showing any sign of impatience. When he saw Lu Chengfeng coming out, he immediately praised, "You are indeed a handsome young man. Junior brother, you are so graceful that even I am impressed, let alone those girls."
Lu Chengfeng said a few polite words and then followed him to the Law Enforcement Hall.
