Chapter 128 Staying at the Sect Master's Villa?
Chapter 128 Staying at the Sect Master's Villa?
"What's the big deal!" Deng Long immediately raised his eyebrows proudly: "Although Yunxiao Garden used to be a forbidden area that could only be opened when the sect leader or the supreme elder came, now that the sect leader is in seclusion, the peak master of Shenwen Peak doesn't care about this empty title and is on good terms with Peak Master Du, so naturally he is willing to let us stay for a while."
Wang Yan finally understood and couldn't help but secretly grumble to himself.
Instead of revealing his identity as Shenwen Peak, he pretended to be Huolian Peak, and now he wants to live in the sect leader's villa... Uncle Du, are you trying to cover your tracks or are you trying to make a high profile?
can not understand!
When Deng Long gave him another look, Wang Yan thought to himself that he could use his divine sense, but he insisted on using his eyes, as if he thought Wang Yan was some kind of worm in his stomach.
However, Wang Yan's gaze shifted, and he exclaimed excitedly, "That's great, Uncle Du! You're amazing! I'm also benefiting from your success this time!"
How was your acting? Pretty good, right?
Deng Long squinted his eyes slightly, pleased. "Alright, Xiao Qiu, then I'll trouble you to arrange the banquet tonight so that Xiao Wang can enjoy himself. Tonight, let's have a good meal and then go out to see the sights."
……
Since it involved Yunxiao Academy, Qiu Jun dared not be negligent and personally led Du Long and Wang Yan there.
Wang Yan looked around at the buildings... It was a pity he had never lived in the inner sect, so he didn't know which formations were good and which were bad, but the scenery was beautiful.
However, just as they passed through a few clumps of elegant bamboo, Wang Yan heard a regretful conversation ahead.
"Senior Brother Chen, that dormitory up ahead is really big and comfortable, much better than our current residence, the Second A-level dormitory. Shall we go talk to Deacon Qiu and ask if we can switch?"
"Change what? That's the sect leader's villa. Only the sect leader, the supreme elder, and core scholars are qualified to live there. Our first-class villa is already very good. Don't cause me any trouble."
Du Long and Qiu Jun obviously heard it too. They exchanged a glance, and Qiu Jun coughed lightly.
Before long, they encountered a group of cultivators dressed in inner sect robes on the quiet road.
Wang Yan glanced at it and exclaimed, "Oh, there are two swords on the lapel; they belong to Zhan Tianfeng!"
These must be disciples returning to their sect.
The thin, middle-aged cultivator at the head of the group nodded politely to Qiu Jun, but when he saw Du Long, he suddenly paused and exclaimed, "Uncle-Master Du, you've come out too?"
Wang Yan was taken aback, then gave a dry laugh.
Oh no, Uncle Du, you've been recognized by an acquaintance!
It's so embarrassing to have your identity revealed at this moment!
However, the thin, tall middle-aged cultivator quickly scanned Wang Yan again, then lingered for a moment on the double hammer pattern on Wang Yan's body, showing a slight pause.
The man immediately glanced at the double hammer pattern on Dulong's body, his expression becoming somewhat subtle. Then he looked at Wang Yan, an unnatural smile appearing on his face: "Is this the newly recruited junior brother of Fire Refining Peak?"
The three characters "Fire Refining Peak" were pronounced particularly clearly.
Wang Yan's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, quickly settled down.
As expected of the team leader, he was perceptive and didn't call out!
"It's Junior Nephew Chen!" Du Long nodded reservedly to the tall, thin cultivator, speaking in a tone befitting an elder: "I heard from the Peak Master that you completed your mission very well this time, and were the fastest to return to provide support. Thank you for your hard work!"
After Chen, the junior disciple, quickly and respectfully replied that it was no trouble at all and that it was his duty, Du Long smiled and gestured for Wang Yan to step forward and pay his respects: "Er Huo, this is Chen Jiage, the captain of Team C2 of Zhan Tian Peak. You should call him senior brother. Team C2 is one of the top five teams in Zhan Tian Peak and is deeply trusted by the Peak Master."
Seeing that these people smiled and looked much closer after Du Long's introduction, Wang Yan quickly addressed him as Senior Brother Chen.
Du Long then lazily looked at Chen Jiage: "Our Peak Master Du has taken a liking to him. Knowing that his family is poor, he asked me to bring him out to buy supplies and gain experience. It will take a few days before he returns to the peak."
Hearing Du Long deliberately address him as "Peak Master Du," Wang Yan couldn't help but chuckle, even though his tone was quite natural.
"So it's Junior Brother Erhuo!" Chen Jiage bowed in surprise and introduced the others around him. Wang Yan greeted them one by one, calling them Senior Brother.
After he finished exchanging greetings, Du Long asked Chen Jiage, "Have you had dinner yet? If not, why don't we dine together at Yunxiao Pavilion tonight and then enjoy the night view? Our peak master has temporarily borrowed Yunxiao Pavilion from the sect leader for a few days; it won't be a problem."
This time, he's referring to himself as "Peak Master" again.
Seeing Chen Jiage's eyes bulge slightly before he quickly bowed and thanked him for the invitation, Wang Yan's lips curled up slightly, guessing that he must have noticed the difference in Du Long's tone.
Du Long then looked at Qiu Jun: "Junior Nephew Qiu, why don't we hold the banquet tonight at Yunxiao Pavilion? You should come too, so we can have a good chat."
"Okay, I'll arrange it shortly." Qiu Jun's eyes lit up with excitement as he enthusiastically agreed.
A few breaths later, they turned through the elegant bamboo grove and arrived at a finely decorated house with carved beams and painted rafters, occupying a large area.
Seeing everyone stop and look at him with different expressions, Dulong confidently curled the corners of his mouth, walked up the spotless steps alone, took out his identity badge, and touched it slightly to the light screen blocking the doorway.
The surface of the mysterious light barrier shimmered with layers of multicolored light, and then ripples spread rapidly to both sides. Two breaths later, it opened up from the center, and a gentle voice rang out: "Password correct. Visitor has been authorized and may pass through to check in."
Du Long turned around with a smug smile and said to everyone, "Junior Nephew Chen, Junior Nephew Qiu, let's go in!"
He casually waved his sleeves and walked through the automatically opening door, as if he were returning to his own home.
Wang Yan tactfully stepped back a step and politely declined Qiu Jun's offer, saying, "Senior Brother Qiu, please."
A hint of surprise flashed in Qiu Jun's eyes, then his smile became more genuine, and he said humbly, "Junior Brother Wang, please!"
Then Qiu Jun winked at the two accompanying local cultivators: "You two, stay here and don't let anyone else in. Also, quickly call some clever first-class Xuan servants to prepare the banquet."
Wang Yan smiled slightly.
Qiu Jun was still trying to save face for the sect leader. Chen Jiage was only able to enter because of Du Long's invitation; others might not have had that privilege.
When Qiu Jun enthusiastically stepped into the gate alongside him, the rich Five Elements Profound Qi inside was no less than that in the sect's Divine Hall.
Chen Jiage and her four teammates stepped in with great curiosity, exclaiming, "What a beautiful view this place is!"
Qiu Jun walked ahead, introducing the place politely.
"It was designed by the people from the main peak. We are only responsible for maintenance. We don't usually dare to come in. Today, we are also benefiting from Uncle Du's help."
Wang Yan went inside and saw that the space inside must also have adopted the laws of space, as it occupied a much larger area than what could be seen from the outside.
After turning past the screen wall directly in front, the first reception hall looks very solemn.
Dulong generously suggested, "Let's wander around first, and then go to the reception hall for a short rest later."
Everyone gladly accepted the invitation.
However, everyone was sensible enough to only look at the master's living quarters from the outside and not go inside.
Half an hour later, they returned to the second courtyard.
There are two small courtyards with hanging flower gates on the left and right, and the main house is further ahead.
Du Long immediately assigned Wang Yan to live in the small courtyard on the east side: "Go and see if it suits your taste. If you need anything, just shamelessly go to your Senior Brother Qiu and ask him to make it for you."
