Chapter 1187 The Secret of the Rumor

Qin Yuke read the contents of the letter thoroughly in a few glances, and then was silent for a moment as if thinking about something. Then he came up with an answer: "I think that Yuan Donglai is not sincere enough and is taking advantage of the situation. If it weren't for the rumors circulating among the disciples, how could his position of 17th on the Dragon and Tiger Tower's Earth Ranking be worth the precious Xitu? Now that the rumors are still unknown, he is using this false thing to make a deal, which shows that he has no sincerity at all."

Zhao Yu only hummed after hearing this, then took the letter from the disciple and held it in his palm, praising him and saying, "You are right. Yuan Donglai knew that I had just returned home and had not heard about the sect's affairs yet. He thought that I would be panicked and anxious after hearing about this. Because I have little experience and insufficient cultivation, even if the True Transmission Competition begins now, I may not be able to break into the Dragon and Tiger Tower. So as soon as he throws the news, I will seize this opportunity, and even take out something as precious as Xitu."

Besides, not everyone has Xitu. As Haiqing's direct disciple, Zhao Yu is the most likely person to ask for this thing from his master.

"In this case, Master cannot agree to him." Qin Yuke frowned, a little indignant.

"I cannot agree to this matter." Zhao Yu nodded, deciding the result with one word. Then he secretly thought that he had to inquire carefully about the things that were circulating in the sect recently. If a great opportunity really came, he should seize it.

She had a plan in mind, so she told Qin Yuke to go down and practice first, while she went out of the mountain gate and went to a place without thinking.

Now that the master is not around, elders like Shi Xiangyuan may not be able to access more information. If there is something important that needs to be found out, there is only one person who is most suitable.

In the Moon-Ringing Cave, the stars and the moon shine together, and a jade belt lies across. It is said that after getting drunk, one does not know that the sky is in the water. The boat is full of sweet dreams, pressing down the starry sky. Some moonlight flows down from the sky and falls all on the white jade pavilion.

Chen Jihan served beside Chen Jun. Seeing that he was calm and leisurely tending to the flowers and plants at hand, she could not help but walk up to him and take the jade pot from his hand, and said softly: "Grandfather, sister Yun has urged several times that she wants to ask for a place in the Dragon and Tiger Tower for Luo Anping. It doesn't require anything, just a little chance. If this is accomplished, they will be filial to the old ancestor with all their hearts."

Chen Jun pretended not to hear anything and just took the scissors and cut the branches in front of him a few times. Immediately, several clusters of crooked branches fell down and dispersed in the air like dust.

Chen Jihan couldn't help feeling embarrassed when she saw this, so she flattered him, "The old ancestor is really amazing. He made these hundred-petal peony plants grow roots immediately. They look very pleasing to the eye."

"Your physique is innate, how can you attribute it to my own efforts?" Chen Jun glanced at her, but he loved this person who had been raised by him since childhood, so he sighed and taught her, "You treat her as a sister, but she is so attached to her husband. If she didn't need help from anyone, why would she come to you on purpose?

"I have seen Luo Anping. He is indeed talented, but he is too scheming and is not an open-minded person. He was born in a humble family and relied on the power of my Chen family to achieve what he has today. I originally regarded him as the second Xiang Yuan, but after he became a true disciple, he saw that my Chen family was declining and deliberately distanced himself from us. It was only after the head of the sect appointed me as the master of Hongqing Palace that he came back to flatter me.

"Chen Yun is even more stupid. Although her talent is not as good as yours, if she is willing to work hard to cultivate, she would not be like this now, lingering in the True Infant Realm without any progress. I think Luo Anping is not a good match for her because he flatters the powerful and looks down on the weak. Sooner or later, she will ask for trouble."

Chen Jihan's face turned red after being scolded by her, and she felt even more ashamed. Although she made up her mind not to speak for Chen Yun anymore, she still said with concern: "What the ancestor taught me is true, but I am very worried. There is no outstanding disciple in the clan now. Even if this great opportunity comes, we will not have the chance to share a piece of it. It's really a pity." She was not talking casually. After hinting in the past few years, Chen Jihan was sure that the news circulating in the sect was 70% to 80% true. Moreover, it was not only the disciples of the aristocratic families, but even the Eighteen Cave Heavens had made some moves. Among the thirty-six people on the two lists of the Dragon and Tiger Tower, three or four of them had been replaced before the true transmission competition. It was enough to see that undercurrents were surging in the sect, and there were many cave heaven masters involved.

However, the Chen family's ancestor remained calm and did not move. He seemed to be unaware of the rumors outside, and did not care how excited his disciples were after hearing the news. This made Chen Jihan anxious and willing to take the risk to speak up for Chen Yun and his wife. She was thinking that Luo Anping was related to the same clan by marriage. If this person could be as close to the Chen clan as Shi Xiangyuan, it would also be beneficial to the Yukang Chen family. Who would have thought...

Chen Jun looked at her and remained silent for a long time.

"Nothing can be forced to happen. How do you know that those people won't end up with nothing?" Chen Jun waved his hand outside and said to Chen Jihan, "A guest is coming. Go and bring her in to talk."

Chen Jihan was stunned for a moment, and after she withdrew as she was told, she heard the attendant come to report that Zhao Yu had come to pay a visit to the Chen family's ancestor, and was now waiting outside the cave. She quickly had someone welcome Zhao Yu in, and suppressed her surprise and said, "So it's you who's here. The ancestor is waiting for you in the hall. Come in with me quickly."

Zhao Yu was not surprised that the old ancestor of the Chen family knew of his arrival. He smiled and bowed to Chen Jihan who came to greet him. Then he said politely, "Thank you for coming here in person, senior."

Chen Jihan also nodded to her, then brought Zhao Yu into the hall and said softly, "Grandfather, Zhao Yu is here."

Chen Jun sat in the middle and was greeted by Zhao Yu. Then he called her to take a seat and listened to Zhao Yu's straightforward words:

"I dare not hide anything from you, Senior. I came here this time just to inquire about the recent events in the sect. If you can explain a few of my doubts, I will be very grateful."

Chen Jihan was also very surprised when she heard that Zhao Yu came for this matter. After a moment, she couldn't help but look at Chen Jun with curiosity. Surprisingly, this time Chen Jun did not hide anything and told them everything about the origin of the demon seed. They knew that the rumored opportunity was actually the great merit after eradicating the demon root!

"I see. No wonder the true disciples tried every means to get the position of the Dragon and Tiger Tower." Zhao Yu suddenly realized. He thought that great merits and virtues are not easy to come by, so it is not wrong to regard this as a great opportunity.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jun laughed loudly, and finally shook his head and said, "For such an important matter, we must listen to the arrangements of the headmaster. He didn't say anything, but the subordinates heard it from somewhere and took the initiative to link this matter with the Dragon Tiger Tower. It's really asking for trouble."
