I couldn't afford the bride price, so I had to marry the Demon Sect Saintess

Chapter 617 Master and Disciple

Tantai Mingyue stood on the edge of the cliff at the top of Danxia Peak. From this position, she could overlook the direction of the gate of Zhenyang Mountain.

Su Xin remembered that when she was fourteen years old, she went down the mountain for the first time to perform a sect mission. She encountered an ambush at Lingshi Mountain in Beihuang and fought hard, delaying her return.

When she returned to Zhenyang Mountain, Master was standing in the same position, looking into the distance.

Seeing her coming back, Master's eyes turned red, just like at this moment.

Su Xin sheathed her sword and dropped it, kneeling in front of Tantai Mingyue: "Master, the disciple is back!"

"Xin'er!"

Tantai Mingyue helped her up, her reddish eyes full of joy and distress, looking her up and down, as if he wanted to reach out and touch her cheek, but in the end he held back.

"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."

At this time, Qin Gengyun and others also landed on the top of the peak and saluted the bright moon in Tantai:

"I've met the master uncle."

Tantai Mingyue's excited expression subsided, her red eyes returned to calm, and she spoke to several people in her usual dignified and gentle tone:

"You have worked hard, come with me."

Then he led everyone to the peak master's hall. Tantai Mingyue showed off his robes, flew to the high leader's throne, sat down slowly, and looked down at the people below.

"I have heard from Xiyue and Ning Zhi about what happened to you in Hehuan Sect, Tianhuang Mountain and Qinglian Mountain. This trip to the Southern Demon was caused by my poor thinking, which caused you to encounter many dangers. Su Xin, 豼What happened after being kidnapped by Zuoqiu of the Tianyun Sect?"

Su Xin quickly told the story of how Qin Gengyun and the others rescued her, and how everyone went to Fengling Village, but she omitted the details of Wei Wan's search for a relative and Wei Wan's testimony that the leader, Chen Qingmo, was the master of Lingshi Mountain.

When Tantai Mingyue heard that Su Xin had not been insulted by Zuoqiu and others, she was obviously relieved. Then she heard that many details of the trip to Fengling Village had been concealed. She could not help but frown slightly, looked at everyone, and suddenly said calmly. :

"This trip is dangerous. Thank you for your hard work. Let's go back and rest first."

"Yes."

Qin Gengyun and Qiu Zhihe looked at each other, a little surprised. They were originally prepared to deal with Tantai Mingyue's questioning, but they didn't expect that the other party would let them pass so easily.

Several people saluted and prepared to leave, when Tantai Mingyue said: "Su Xin, you stay."

Su Xin cupped her hands and said, "Yes."

Qin Gengyun and others left, and only Tantai Mingyue and Su Xin were left in the huge peak master's hall.

Both women are dignified, gentle, and as soft as water, as if they were carved from the same mold.

It's just that one is more mature and restrained, and the other is also elegant and beautiful.

The two women looked at each other quietly, as if they both had a thousand words to say but didn't know how to speak.

Finally, it was Tantai Mingyue who said first: "Xin'er, your cultivation seems to have improved a bit. Have you had any adventures this time?"

Su Xin was seriously injured by Ming Hu in Fengling Village and narrowly escaped death. She was treated by Qin Gengyun and three others with the Hazy Spirit Bathing Method. After a trip through the gate of hell, her meridians were reshaped, her Taoist heart was cleansed, and her cultivation level was raised to the fourth level of the Golden elixir. .

She respectfully raised her hands and replied: "Master, with the help of Junior Brother He and Junior Sister Ruo, my cultivation has indeed improved."

"How do you know Qiu and Ruomei?"

Tantai Mingyue frowned slightly and said to Su Xin in a deep voice:

"Xin'er, do you remember what my teacher told you before setting off?"

Su Xin said respectfully: "Remember, Master asked us to find out the cause of death of the two uncles. We have already found the clues in Qinglian Mountain. I think Junior Sister Ye and the others have already reported it to you."

Tantai Mingyue looked at her, Su Xin lowered her head and remained silent.

Both of them knew that Tantai Mingyue was asking about the identities of He Zhiqiu and Ruomei, but Su Xin refused to mention it.

The hall was quiet for a moment. Tantai Mingyue stood up, walked down the high platform, walked to Su Xin's side, and said softly:

"Xin'er, what are you afraid of?" Su Xin was startled, clenched her hands, and the veins on the back of her white hands were slightly raised, and said loudly:

"Master, I... I have something to ask you."

Tantai Mingyue held her hand and said kindly: "Why did Xin'er go out and be separated from teachers and students? If you have anything to ask, just say it."

Su Xin's slender hands were cold, she looked up at the bright moon in Tantai, and said word by word:

"Master, does the leader have something to do with Lingshi Mountain?"

As soon as Su Xin's words came out, her whole heart was lifted, and she was even ready for the master to take action against her, so she closed her eyes and suffered death.

But the hand holding him was still gentle, and a startled voice sounded in his ears:

"Xin'er, what are you talking about? Lingshi Mountain is cruel and cruel, full of evil, even more evil than the Demon Sect. How can the head brother have anything to do with Lingshi Mountain? People in the Demon Sect hate our Zhenyang Sect. Such rumors are slanderous. There are countless of them, so don’t let your Taoist heart be broken!”

Su Xin looked up at Tantai Mingyue in shock, and saw the master's face with unconcealable surprise and a hint of disappointment.

It was obvious that she was really angry and disappointed that she would be disturbed by such rumors.

But Su Xin's heart welled up with joy.

From this point of view, no matter what the truth is, Master should have nothing to do with Lingshi Mountain!

Su Xin knew Tantai Mingyue very well and knew that her expression at this moment was definitely not fake, so she felt happy and a big stone suddenly fell from her heart.

With a smile on her face, she held Tantai Mingyue's hand with both hands:

"Master, this disciple is being reckless. The leader has been in seclusion for two years. I wonder when he will be able to come out of seclusion?"

I have promised fellow Daoist Qin and fellow Daoist Qiu that I will give them an explanation. Since Master doesn’t know the truth, I will ask the leader directly.

Tantai Mingyue raised her hand and gently smoothed Su Xin's hair on her forehead, and asked in a low voice:

"Xin'er, what exactly happened to you in Nanmo?"

Su Xin said: "Master, since there are rumors, we should clarify it. Zhenyang Sect is the leader of the righteous way and deserves to be worthy of the world. I believe the master, uncle, but the disciple wants to verify it himself!"

"You! You look gentle, but you are actually more stubborn than anyone else."

Tantai Mingyue caressed Su Xin's face with pity and sighed:

"You don't know yet, right? The Zhenyang Sect may no longer be able to maintain its position as the leader of the righteous path."

Su Xin was startled: "Why did Master say this?"

Tantai Mingyue said: "The news of the death of Senior Brother Shi and Senior Brother Wei was leaked for some reason. It has spread all over the world in the past two days. At this moment, people from Lei Jian Sect, Fei Yun Sect and Xihuang Palace are already on their way to Zhenyang Sect."

Su Xin was stunned. She had already learned about the leak of the death of Shi and Wei from Ming Hu, but she didn't expect that it would be known to the whole world so quickly.

"Master, did Lei Jian Sect, Fei Yun Sect and Xihuang Palace send people here to find out the authenticity of this news?"

Tantai Mingyue nodded: "Leijian Sect and Feiyun Sect have long been dissatisfied with being suppressed by us. If it is confirmed that the two senior brothers are dead, they will not continue to be dormant."

"As for the Western Palace, Lin Yuan has always wanted to kill me. Naturally, she will not let go of such a good opportunity."

Su Xin's expression changed: "Master, is this world really going to be in chaos?"

Tantai Mingyue sighed: "Xin'er, you just came back, don't think too much about it now, go back and rest, we will discuss it tomorrow."

Seeing a hint of fatigue in Tantai Mingyue's brows, Su Xin immediately cupped her hands and said, "Yes, Master, don't worry too much."

After Su Xin left, Tantai Mingyue's gentle expression gradually turned cold.

"He Zhiqiu, if Mei Xin'er is soft-hearted towards you, then let me do it myself."
