Chapter 448: Layman's Words
At this time, in front of the top leaders of Bailian Sect, he was able to interrupt the conversation and let Shi Chun pay attention to Zhen'er. This shows that Wu Jinliang no longer takes a sect of the level of Bailian Sect seriously.
Although he has not been released from the land of exile for long, his life has undergone earth-shaking changes. Even before entering the Divine Fire Realm, Wu Jinliang did not dare to have such an attitude.
It's not just Wu Jinliang and Shi Chun, Chu Jingtang and his gang are the same. They don't take the high-level officials of Bailian Sect in front of them seriously and are more concerned about Zhen'er.
They may not even be aware of this change in mentality.
But they were really curious about how Zhen'er, who often kissed and hugged the boss, ended up hanging out with Situ Gu.
Zhen'er's gaze quickly locked onto this side as she scanned the scene. She was delighted to see Shi Chun and wanted to say hello, but was stopped by Shi Chun's direct, warning gaze.
Shi Chun gave her some instructions, that she could no longer act close to him in front of outsiders and should keep a distance.
Situ Gu has always been paying attention to Zhen'er's reactions. After all, she is still an inexperienced person and needs his constant attention and reminders to avoid any unexpected events.
He also noticed the direction of Zhen'er's attention, and looked over there. Sure enough, he saw Shi Chun and his gang. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He was not stupid. Besides, Zhen'er did not hide her feelings for Shi Chun in front of him. She even said that she wanted to have a child for Shi Chun. He was really shocked at that time.
He originally didn't want Zhen'er to show up in public, but Zhen'er insisted on coming out and said it was the last time. He couldn't resist and had to give in.
And to the weapon refining world, Situ Gu was the brightest star. As soon as he showed up, he immediately attracted the attention of many people from various factions, or people started whispering about him.
Several high-ranking officials of the Jihuo Sect were also looking at Zhen'er from a distance. The information provided by Heihu before his death had already taken root in their minds.
Liantian Sect's leader Luo Yan and others would look at Zhen'er from time to time, but they couldn't figure out where she came from.
Situ Gu said that he was his disciple, but the Liantian Sect did not know that there was such a person in their sect, so he asked if it was ridiculous or not?
As for the origin of this disciple, Situ Gu's explanation was also unclear. He said that he was a disciple accepted from outside the sect, and had previously used other sects as a bridge to get him into the Divine Fire Domain by disguising himself as a man. Now he wants to be officially accepted into the Liantian Sect, and he wants to ask whether the Liantian Sect agrees or not.
If it were someone else, the top leaders of the Liantian Sect would have made sure he was killed as far away as possible. How could they possibly accept such a person with unclear background in?
However, this person is Situ Gu, who is too lazy to explain more and acts in a simple and rough way. If it doesn't work, he can take his apprentice away and not cause trouble for you. There are many people willing to accept him. What can you do? As a result, the top leaders of Liantian Sect not only had to accept it, but also had to find a way to clean up his mess.
Some elders even whispered behind his back, wondering if this was Situ Gu's illegitimate daughter.
The group from Bailian Sect who were standing in front of Mingshan Sect also turned around to look in the direction where Shi Chun and others were looking. They were a little confused, but they also felt a sense of being ignored.
This made Sect Master Yan secretly feel uneasy, but he got back to the point and said, "Brother Shichun, may I ask, can Mingshan Sect survive long-term if it continues like this?"
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the so-called Mingshan Sect was founded just to open up the current Divine Fire Domain. He also found out about the deeper purpose, which is related to the current gambling, and it was accumulated by that Young Master Nan.
Asking this on the spot was also for Tong Mingshan to hear. The composition of the Mingshan Sect's personnel is a mess. You are the only one who can refine weapons. Can this be considered a serious weapon-refining sect? It is estimated that it will be disbanded soon. Tong Mingshan, you have to make long-term plans.
Before entering the Divine Fire Realm, he looked for Tong Mingshan, but was rejected by Tong Mingshan. After coming out of the Divine Fire Realm, he couldn't see anyone when he visited him, so he had to take a roundabout way.
Be it realistic or utilitarian, for the development of the sect, considering the amount of divine fire that Tong Mingshan has absorbed now, it is worth it for him to humble himself.
Shi Chun smiled when he heard this, "Sect Master Yan, it's useless for you to tell me this. Tong Mingshan is the Sect Master of our Mingshan Sect. He has the final say on whether to stay or go."
Yan Qufeng sighed and said, "Master, we are all wise people. We also know that Tong Mingshan's achievements today are all thanks to you."
The implication is that everyone knows who has the final say in Mingshan Sect.
Shi Chun shook his head slightly and said, "You think too much. Whether Mingshan Zong is here or not is up to him. It's up to him whether he wants to go back with you or not. I will never force him in the slightest."
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Tong Mingshan, who was trying hard to keep a straight face.
Yan Qufeng stared at Tong Mingshan and seemed to be hesitant to speak, and finally gave a wink to his master Luo Wan.
Luo Wan, who had been holding back a lot of words, immediately said to Tong Mingshan, "What on earth are you thinking about? Yes, even if Mingshan Sect is gone, with the divine fire you have absorbed now, there are many people in the weapon refining world who want you, but you have to understand that no matter where you go, you are an outsider in the eyes of others. Only returning to Bailian Sect is home. Do you know what the difference between inside and outside is? People's hearts are unpredictable. Some things cannot be controlled by absorbing two more divine fires."
It was fine for others, but facing his master's reprimand, Tong Mingshan couldn't hold it in any longer. With a complicated expression, he responded with difficulty: "Master, I can't go back. I really can't go back."
This was not an empty statement. He personally checked the list of how much refining materials the head of the Master had collected from the ten major sects for him. With the financial resources of the Bailian Sect, even the combined strength of all the sects could not give him so much. He also saw the secret collusion between the head of the Master and Situ Gu. If he could get guidance from Situ Gu, he would be very excited.
With Bailian Sect's current capabilities, it is really impossible to provide all of this.
Luo Wandun puffed his beard and glared, "Why, do you want me to kneel down and beg you? If you really want it, I'll give you this face!"
After saying this, he lifted up his clothes and was about to kneel down.
This frightened Tong Mingshan, and he quickly reached out to support him, "Master..."
Yan Qufeng was also a little frightened. He didn't expect Luo Wan to be so stubborn. He quickly tried to stop him. If he really made him kneel down, Tong Mingshan would become a big joke and would be criticized for his whole life. There would be no going back.
Although the man stopped him, he couldn't stop Luo Wan from speaking, "Evil disciple, wake up quickly, how can I harm you?"
Yan Qufeng also said: "Tong Mingshan, whether you return or not is of course up to your own will, but have you ever considered your master? If you don't return, he will become a joke in the weapon refining world and a joke to the world. He has carefully trained you for many years, do you really want to put him in such a state?"
The two of them were talking back and forth, and every word seemed to make sense, which made Tong Mingshan feel numb. He looked embarrassed in front of his master.
This matter had been decided long ago. Shi Chun originally did not want to interfere and wanted Tong Mingshan to solve it himself. However, looking at the situation, Tong Mingshan was still too young in the hands of these old guys and could not withstand their torture at all.
He was immediately unhappy and intervened, "Sect Master Yan, there is no need to force him now. Our Sect Master will have to compete later. What if you mess up his mind now? How can he concentrate on competing with others later? How about this, I will make the decision. After the competition, if you still feel the need to talk, I will let you talk slowly and have a good talk. How about that?"
Wu Jinliang also chimed in, "Yes, let's not bother him now."
Shi Chun said to Tong Mingshan again: "Master, let's talk after the competition, how about that?"
Tong Mingshan nodded woodenly.
Shi Chun immediately asked the people from Bailian Sect to go back.
In response to this, Yan Qufeng did not continue to use force. He waved his hand to signal everyone to retreat first. However, before returning to their positions, he sighed to Shi Chun, "Master, you just arrived and may not know the situation of some of the reference personnel. There is news just now that some people have absorbed seven divine fires, and some have absorbed ten divine fires. He only absorbed four divine fires. Actually..." As he said this, he looked at Tong Mingshan and shook his head slightly.
The implication is that it doesn't really matter whether you compare or not.
Shi Chun calmly said jokingly, "No wonder your sect expelled him from the sect. It seems that your sect really knows nothing about the talent of its own disciples in refining weapons!"
The big boss was playing tricks, and Wu Jinliang couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Hehehehe..."
Chu Jingtang and others looked at the Bailian Sect's group as if they were monsters, with an indescribable sense of strangeness in their eyes.
Four divine fires? Although they were not very clear about how Tong Mingshan passed the divine fire test and how he got the qualification to compete, they knew very well how many divine fires Tong Mingshan absorbed. Four? Fourteen were not enough, and he had absorbed ten and was so embarrassed to show off in front of our sect master?
Although Yan Qufeng and the others did not know why Shi Chun said this, they just regarded it as the words of an outsider. No matter how they talked about talent in refining equipment, the gap between ten divine fires and four divine fires was too huge, and it could not be simply made up by talent.
They had heard rumors before that Li Hongjiu, a disciple of Yanbao Sect, had once made a bold statement, saying that even Luo Shengsheng, who had absorbed ten divine fires, could not defeat him. They had just treated it as a joke, and now another shameless person has appeared.
That’s all. Yan Qufeng nodded with a reserved smile, then walked back to his original position, turned around and stood still. He said no more, thinking it was not appropriate to discuss this with an amateur.
Shi Chun was too lazy to talk to them. If he hadn't taken care of Tong Mingshan's feelings, he wouldn't have bothered with them. He could have just called for people to drive the Bailian Sect away. At the moment, he could only slightly tilt his head close to Tong Mingshan's ear and whisper, "Don't be distracted. We have taken such a big risk to get to this point. We are about to make a fortune. Don't let everyone fail at the last moment."
Thinking of how everyone risked their lives to help him in the Divine Fire Domain, Tong Mingshan took a deep breath and nodded. However, he could still hear the discussions and ridicules from the surrounding sects who were watching the fun. "This Bailian Sect is really interesting. They expelled someone from the sect earlier, and when they saw that it worked, they licked him back. They really did it, without even caring about their dignity..."
Some voices did not avoid Bailian Sect at all, but Yan Qufeng was very calm. He raised his hand to signal his fellow disciples to ignore them as they were deaf. Just think of it as others not wanting you to get the good things they can't get.
Young Master Nan and his group standing on the mountainside did not have the qualifications to enter the venue. They watched the movements in the venue from afar. They had no idea what the people from Bailian Sect were talking about with those from Mingshan Sect, and he did not know the Bailian Sect either.
Mulan on the top of the mountain also did not enter the venue. She sat in the pavilion, squinting at the mirror image in the sky, and occasionally tilting her head to glance into the valley.
After the personnel from the ten major sects arrived, the competition did not continue. On the open space in the valley, a group of disciples from the Lihuo Sect began to carry boxes of refining materials onto the stage.
The elder of the Lihuo Sect who was presiding over the competition also came on stage and said loudly: "All participants from all factions, come on stage immediately!"
