Chapter 22 Awkward Master-Disciple Relationship, the Mystery of Red Eyebrows

After traveling through time for more than ten years, everything Yu Lou had heard and seen was not as shocking as the scene before him.

What a scene that was.

In the evening, the setting sun, like a red persimmon in the sky, gradually disappears into the ground.

However, the scorching sun where Danri Zhenren was was like the sun at noon, hanging high in the distant sky.

The brilliant golden-red color spread from the second sun and fell on everything between heaven and earth.

Even Yulou's cheeks were stained with golden red.

Yu'an was still worried whether it was a trick, but Yulou was already sure that no one would dare to act so arrogantly in Hong Dengzhao's territory - except their own people.

"Is this the real Danri? Danri, Danri, the title is indeed correct."

Zhong Ningyao is a cultivator with fire and wood spiritual roots. Her father is Hongmei, who is proficient in fire magic. She knows very well what the second sun in the sky means.

That is the boundless magic power of the Purple Mansion cultivators, that is the supreme deterrence of the Red Lantern to suppress the territory of five million miles, that is the sublime realm that many cultivators desire all their lives but cannot obtain.

Yulou noticed that a man rose into the air from the monk's residence guarding Qingxifang. He flew into the air above Qingxifang and casually raised a protective magic circle for Qingxifang.

"What is Jiang Bao doing with the magic circle?" Yulou looked at her senior sister.

"Transfer control. When the real person comes tomorrow, Jiang Bao will have to act like a grandson."

Zhong Ningyao was knowledgeable and she guessed half right.

Jiang Baobian wanted to act like a grandson, but Zhenren Danri did not need the control over any magic array, and he did not care about the tiny power of the cultivator guarding Qingxifang.

This Purple Mansion monk from the Red Lantern Movement brought the Red Lantern Movement's Merit Hall branch to Qingxifang with a mission and even activated the Red Lantern Movement's famous magic weapon, the Golden Crow Chasing the Sun.

The second sun in the sky is actually the afterglow of the Purple Mansion monk controlling the Golden Crow to chase the sun.

If Jiang Baobian doesn't raise the magic circle quickly, as long as the Golden Crow Chasing the Sun stops even a little bit, the spiritual charm of Qinyun Qingxi will be evaporated by the Golden Crow Chasing the Sun, and the independent cultivators with insufficient cultivation in the market will be seriously injured or even killed by the light.

"Sister, are we still going to bet on horses?"

Yulou felt that now was not the time to have fun betting on horses.

Zhong Ningyao paused and spoke hesitantly.

“Forget about betting on horses. We can go anytime. After all, I just want to broaden your horizons.

You should go back and stay with your family elders first. The Wang family is a vassal of the Red Lantern Sect and may have the opportunity to meet the Purple Mansion monks directly.

Yulou, if possible, please ask your ancestors if you can bring my father along to pay a visit.

Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, Senior Sister will give you a reward. If possible, my father will also reward you handsomely!"

Yulou thought about it and replied.

"Understood. Wait for my news."

After saying that, he pulled Yu'an, who was still ready, back to Fuyuanju.

Looking at their backs, Zhong Ningyao frowned.

Today, Zhong Ningyao took the two brothers to bet on horses, just to take the opportunity to talk about this matter. However, the Merit Hall branch arrived early and disrupted Hongmei's plan.

In name, Hongmei and the two brothers were master and apprentice, but Hongmei had previously collected a fee of 5,000 spirit stones as their apprenticeship fee.

Now her father has another request to Wang.

This kind of master-disciple relationship is extremely awkward.
-
In the lobby of Fuyuanju, the independent practitioners were frantically exchanging information, and everyone's face had an expression of excitement, anxiety, or excitement.

“Before I came back, I heard from a fellow Taoist who had reached the peak of Qi training that the red flying boat in the middle was the location of the Red Lantern Merit Hall branch.

It is said that there is a master of Zifu mansion controlling it, which is why it has such great power. "

"Not only the Red Lantern, but there are also two flying magic weapons in the sky that are not Red Lanterns."

"I know that one of them is the Immortal Alliance's traveling headquarters, but what force's flying magic weapon is the white stone building next to it?"

"What a coincidence, I've seen the same white stone building~"

"Oh, tell me quickly?"

"Say it quickly."

"Oh, my mouth is dry, I forgot~"

The casual cultivator who knew the origin of the white stone building pretended to be stupid. Bai Lu, who was slacking off at the counter, couldn't stand it anymore and was about to speak, but another casual cultivator, who was not sure whether he was really stupid or pretending, spoke first.

"Hey, come on, give this fellow Taoist a pot of spiritual tea!"

Bai Lu immediately smiled and didn't share the news for free. She quickly poured tea. She first took half a penny of ninth-grade spiritual tea, then put in half a tael of ordinary tea, and then smiled and handed it to the fool.

This is how Fuyuanju sells its spiritual tea. If it were made entirely of spiritual tea, those casual practitioners would not be willing to buy it.

The casual cultivator who was pretending to drink tea took a sip of the spiritual tea and didn't taste anything wrong. He drank it happily.

“You don’t know that the Red Lantern had a new leader a few years ago, who is from the Huang family, a prominent clan in Zifu.

You may not have heard of the Huang family. They specialize in doing business among the sects and big families in the Wunan immortal cultivation world.

I worked for the Huang family for several years. That white stone building was the Huang family’s Treasure House!

It looks like just a small stone building, but inside is a large market town, probably one-third the size of Qingxifang, and it is run entirely by the Huang family.

In the past, this kind of Baibaofang only stayed in the clan territories of large clans, large sects, and the locations of Zifu Sect, and would not come to Qingxifang, a market town full of Qi-refining cultivators.

It may be because someone from the Huang family became the head of the Red Lantern Office that Baibaofang followed the Gongxuntang branch!"

"The Merit Hall and the Treasure House are here to do business, so why would the Immortal Alliance's headquarters also come along?"

"Why don't you go and ask? The Immortal Alliance serves all cultivators. If you ask, they might tell you."

"You go, I won't go!"

"It's just a trick. No one believes their lies!"

The casual cultivators were arguing in a mess, while Yulou walked towards the counter in a low-key manner.

"How's the situation with the small room in the backyard?" Yulou asked.

"Give us some food and send it to our room." Yu'an said.

"You only know how to eat!" Yulou glared at his brother.

"are you not hungry?"

Yu'an didn't understand what his brother was pretending to be.

"We're going to see the chief later!"

Yulou couldn't tell Yu'an about his idea of following the clan leader for a living, he just hinted at it, but Yu'an obviously didn't understand.

"Then please send it later, thank you."

With a helpless smile, Yulou said nothing more.

Eat, eat, eat, just know how to eat!

After looking at Yulou and then at Yu'an, Bai Lu lowered her head calmly and replied in a low voice that the casual cultivators could not hear.

"I'll arrange it right away. As for the small room at the back, half of it was occupied today. The old ancestor came to take a look in the afternoon and was very happy."

Yu'an nodded in understanding. Bai Lu had been working as a waitress for many years and was a sensible and smart person.
-
"Do you know why Master didn't personally ask the clan leader to let me go to see the True Man Danri?"

Leading his silly brother to the backyard, Yulou tilted his head and asked.

"Are you afraid that the clan leader will refuse and make him lose face?"

This question is difficult to answer, and Yu'an is scratching his head.

“No, Master is about to build his foundation, but he doesn’t want to choose a power to rely on right now.

If he asks the clan leader himself, he will definitely agree, and it will be difficult to refuse the clan leader's request to invite him to join the Wang family. "

Yulou now feels more and more that his master is not a simple person.

He is extremely capable in handling affairs and is also good at doing business. He also has extraordinary attainments in cultivation and refining Taoism.

He doesn't look like a casual cultivator without any followers.

"Brother, you think too much. Master can definitely start his own family."

"Ha, indeed, maybe I'm overthinking it."

Yulou did not explain Yu'an's naivety. He noticed Tang Nianqiu guarding the front desk of the wooden building and asked respectfully.

"Uncle Nianqiu, where is the clan leader now?"

Tang Nianqiu put down the account book, pointed upstairs and said.

"It's up there. He's still changing the layout of the small room."
