The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 191: Master Gao Xuan, I don’t understand what you are saying (6k)

These inner court students are not only close to the eight instructors, but after graduation, they will also be talents that will be fought over by major sects.

There is really no need to make enemies with them.

Especially Zhou Qing. The dangerous aura he exuded just now was something they had only felt from a few geniuses in the inner courtyard.

Try not to offend this kind of person if you can.

At this moment, the old man who had reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul couldn't help but clear his throat and put on a serious expression on his face.

"In that case, we will investigate this matter further. However, your senior brother must be more restrained in his actions in the future and not cause such a commotion again."

After hearing this, Zhou Qing thanked him repeatedly.

"Please pay more attention, that person seems to have been at odds with my senior brother since yesterday."

After Zhou Qing finished speaking, he secretly stuffed a few spirit stones over to show his sincerity.

The few of them accepted it calmly again, with satisfied smiles on their faces and their tone softened.

"Don't worry, I'll let you know as soon as I have any news!"

……

After leaving the Law Enforcement Hall, Yan Xiaohu's face was full of anger.

"It's my nemesis. This Baiyu Taixu Courtyard is definitely my nemesis. I've never suffered such a big loss even when facing the Cangyan Taoist Palace and the Tianji Sect!" Yan Xiaohu said angrily.

From yesterday to today, I was caught twice by the people from the Law Enforcement Hall, and I was completely humiliated.

Fortunately, Master Mo Xingjian was not here, otherwise, I don’t know how angry I would be.

Lu Yaoyao softly advised, "Brother Yan, don't you realize that he's deliberately trying to trick you into making a mistake? Why don't you just ignore him next time?"

Zhou Qing quite agreed with this point.

"Since the other party has chosen to take the initiative, he must have made sufficient preparations. Wouldn't it be better if you didn't do as he wished?" Zhou Qing said seriously.

You said that your cultivation, speed, and terrain skills are all comparable to his, so why should you let him lead you by the nose?

Yan Xiaohu suddenly stopped and looked at Zhou Qing with an embarrassed expression on his face.

"Fourth brother, I'm sorry to have cost you so much money. I promise that there won't be a third time!" Yan Xiaohu promised solemnly.

Zhou Qing smiled slightly and said half-jokingly, "Since it's a waste, then Third Senior Brother, please make it up to me. Those are top-grade spirit stones, and several of them are gone just like that."

Yan Xiaohu was embarrassed for a moment, scratched his head and said, "The main thing is that I don't have much money on me, unlike you. The storage bags of the five great geniuses are all yours. And Li Hanshan and the Blood Bone Elder did not follow the rules, the compensation from the Cang Yan Dao Palace, and the reward from the sect..."

Yan Xiaohu became more and more excited as he spoke, counting on his fingers as he spoke. He suddenly felt that his junior brother was really too rich.

Zhou Qing was about to say something when a ray of light suddenly appeared in the sky.

"Junior brothers and sisters!" Li Daoxuan shouted happily.

As Li Daoxuan landed, his eyes subconsciously looked at Zhou Qing and Lu Yaoyao's red clothes, and he was secretly shocked.

I didn't expect that they became inner school students in just one day. Even if it was normal enrollment, it wouldn't be so fast.

"Why did you suddenly come to Haomiao Mansion? Are my uncle and the others okay? How is the sect now?" Li Daoxuan asked hurriedly.

Zhou Qing looked at the people coming and going around and said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's find another place to talk."

Li Daoxuan said: "Come with me!"

Then he led everyone to a quiet courtyard.

In the courtyard, several ancient spiritual trees stand quietly, casting patches of mottled light and shadow, and the surroundings are even quieter and silent.

Everyone took their seats, and Zhou Qing began to describe in detail the various events that had occurred in the Eastern Region during the two years that Li Daoxuan had been away, while Lu Yaoyao and Yan Xiaohu added details at the appropriate times.

Li Daoxuan listened quietly, his expression changing as he spoke, sometimes surprised, sometimes solemn.

The news of the Spirit Transformation Realm joining the war was too sudden. He remembered that his master had said that due to the interference of forces from the Imperial Capital, the civil war in the Eastern Region might last for more than ten years, or even longer.

But who could have imagined that the Houshan Demon King would show up unexpectedly, and after two months of fierce fighting in Canglan Mountain, this civil war would end unexpectedly?

Li Daoxuan felt a pang of regret. If he had known this would happen, he would not have left.

As the eldest disciple of the Taiqing Sect's master, he should have stood by the sect when it faced a crisis.

Especially when I heard that Zhou Qing actually killed Sima Yaoji for the second time and saved Junior Sister Pei Yan, and then even killed Yu Ziqi and Li Hanshan who had already comprehended the rudiments of the artistic conception.

Hearing this, Li Daoxuan looked at Zhou Qing again with a complicated expression.

This is the true pride of heaven!

However, fortunately, he is a member of Taiqing Sect and also his junior fellow apprentice!
"The Palace Master of the Cang Yan Dao Palace is truly evil. He set up a killing array to keep all the members of the four sects in Cang Lan Mountain, and then released some of them in the end. He even divided up the divine medicine equally. This..."

Li Daoxuan shook his head, really not understanding the logic behind Sikong Yan's behavior.

In fact, let alone Li Daoxuan, even Zhou Qing and others still find it unbelievable and like a lunatic.

Especially the four sects who were supposed to have deep hatred for each other, after dividing the lotus seeds, they all acted as if nothing had happened and kept the secret together.

According to the head teacher, when Sikong Yan was distributing lotus seeds, he was smiling and saying something like "It is better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone."

"So, the young man who brought you here that day was the second uncle?" Li Daoxuan was shocked at the end of the conversation.

Of course he knew that Master Lin Daochen had accepted a favorite disciple in recent years who was gifted in formations and restrictions, but he didn't expect that person to be the second uncle.

"Shh!" Lu Yaoyao quickly made a hushing sound, trying not to let the second uncle hear it.

Li Daoxuan understood and nodded quickly.

After all, the second uncle is a legendary figure in Taiqingmen.

Li Daoxuan remembered that his master once said that his grandmaster had designated the second uncle as the first successor to the position of the next headmaster. However, due to some unforeseen circumstances, he died unexpectedly, which allowed his master to take advantage of the opportunity and become the current headmaster.

"Second Master is sincerely learning the art of prohibition this time. If you encounter him in the future, just treat him as an ordinary inner court disciple and don't let your secrets show."

Zhou Qing warned seriously.

Li Daoxuan patted his chest and said, "Don't worry. Normally speaking, he is our uncle."

After hearing this, everyone smiled at each other and thought about it carefully, and it was indeed true.

"By the way, I almost forgot about this!"

At the end of his speech, Li Daoxuan seemed to have thought of something, and took out an iron arrow from his storage bag, and then took out a piece of paper.

Then, he handed the arrow and the note to Zhou Qing and said, "This morning, when I was returning through a valley, this arrow was shot at me. Fortunately, it didn't have any killing intent. This note was tied to it at the time, and it specifically asked to be given to you."

Zhou Qing was confused and saw only three words "Zhou Qing received" written on the outside of the note.

Out of respect for others' privacy, Li Daoxuan did not open the note to check.

Yan Xiaohu frowned and muttered, "This Baiyu Taixu Courtyard is really weird. I've only been here for two days and someone's already targeting me, and now it's Old Four's turn so soon. We're new here, how can we know so many people?"

Zhou Qing was also full of suspicion, and then slowly opened the note. When he saw the words clearly, his eyes narrowed and his expression became solemn.

[Huangfeng Valley, Chilingdan].

There were only these six words on the note, with no other content, but Zhou Qing instantly understood who wrote it.

The master of Jinyang Peak, Uncle Gao Xuan!
The Chiling Pill is the key item mentioned in a story in the notebook that Master Gao gave him.

It tells the story of how the Blood Demon Palace Master uses the Chiling Pill as bait to set up a gambling game to test the good and evil of human nature.

If you put yourself into the game, you will eventually win.

Uncle-master Gao Xuan actually came to Haomiao Mansion?

At this moment, Yan Xiaohu curiously leaned over to take a look, full of confusion.

What do you mean?
Is there a magic medicine in this place called Huangfeng Valley?
However, Zhou Qing now has a certain degree of trust in Uncle Gao Xuan. This trust not only comes from the fourth move of "Cang Lei Sword Technique", but also from many other details in the process of getting along with each other in the sect.

The headmaster had twice handed over the position of acting headmaster to Uncle Gao Xuan, which made Zhou Qing firmly believe that Uncle Gao would not harm him.

"Senior Brother Li, where is this Huangfeng Valley?" Zhou Qing asked.

Li Daoxuan thought for a moment and replied, "It's about three thousand miles east of the academy. Is there anyone I can help you with?"

Lu Yaoyao and Yan Xiaohu also looked over immediately.

Zhou Qing shook his head repeatedly and said, "It's okay. He's an old friend, you all know him. I'll leave first."

Seeing Zhou Qing stand up, Lu Yaoyao quickly stepped forward, with a hint of worry in her eyes, and said, "Brother Zhou, do I need to follow?"

Zhou Qing shook his head again and said firmly, "It's really okay."

Watching Zhou Qing leave, Yan Xiaohu scratched his head and said, "Since the fourth brother said it's okay, then it must be nothing. By the way, Senior Brother Li, do you know if there's anyone in the outer courtyard who likes to turn his back on others? This beast is my nemesis."

When Yan Xiaohu thought of that guy, he became so angry that his teeth itched and he couldn't help complaining.

Li Daoxuan looked puzzled, but still shook his head and said, "What's going on?"

Yan Xiaohu angrily recounted the frustrating experiences of the past two days in detail...

With Zhou Qing's current level of cultivation, a distance of three thousand miles is just a matter of a blink of an eye.

When the outline of Yellow Maple Valley came into view, Zhou Qing slowed down.

All over the valley were yellow maple trees rustling in the breeze.

Zhou Qing stepped in and walked slowly along the winding path.

The surroundings were silent except for the sound of swirling maple leaves falling. As he walked, he paid close attention to the movements around him.

Not long after, in an open space, he saw a familiar figure.

Uncle Master Gao Xuan was wearing a light blue robe with his sleeves fluttering in the wind. He was holding a rattle in his hand and was quietly thinking.

And above his head, the note "The Prodigy of Taiqing Sect" was still floating.

As if he heard footsteps, he put away the rattle and slowly turned around to look at Zhou Qing.

The moment their eyes met, he suddenly smiled, his smile still so warm and kind, and said, "Zhou Qing, long time no see!"

Zhou Qing hurried forward to pay his respects.

Being in a foreign land, Zhou Qing felt extremely close to his elders when he saw them suddenly appear.

"Uncle Master, why are you here suddenly?" Zhou Qing asked curiously.

Even though he had only been at the academy for less than two days, he had been away from the sect for a long time. It had taken him more than two months just to get to Lingyun Mansion.

Gao Xuan looked Zhou Qing's red dress up and down, seemingly unsurprised. Then, his expression grew serious, and he said, "I just suddenly realized something, so I came here to tell you."

"Uncle Master, please speak!" Zhou Qing said respectfully.

Gao Xuan said slowly, "Since Second Master brought you here to learn the art of formations, then study hard. But during this time, you must pay attention to one person."

"Who?" Zhou Qing asked in confusion.

Gao Xuan said solemnly, "The Palace Master of Cang Yan Dao Palace, Sikong Yan!"

After hearing this, Zhou Qing's pupils shrank, and a look of disbelief flashed across his eyes. He then said, "He also came to Baiyu Taixu Courtyard?"

Gao Xuan nodded slightly, his eyes deep, and said, "He has actually been here at the academy the whole time."

Zhou Qing was confused and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Uncle Master, I don't quite understand. Isn't he in the East Region? What do you mean he's always here at the academy?"

Gao Xuan didn't know how to explain it for a moment. After thinking for a while, he said, "This is just a guess. The truth is not certain yet. It may be related to his Nascent Soul amplification, or it may be related to the state of mind in the Spiritual Transformation Realm. In short, you should be careful."

Zhou Qing frowned, and at this moment, he felt a tingling sensation on his scalp again towards the Palace Master of Cang Yan Dao Palace.

But he still nodded solemnly and said, "Thank you, uncle. I understand."

"I can't stay here for too long. I must return as soon as possible and study hard here!" Gao Xuan reminded.

Zhou Qing was deeply moved after hearing this. Uncle Gao Xuan had gone through great trouble and traveled thousands of miles just to remind him.

Seeing that his uncle-master was about to leave, Zhou Qing gritted his teeth and suddenly said, "Uncle-master, is there anything I can help with at Cang Yan Dao Palace?"

Gao Xuan looked at Zhou Qing meaningfully, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes, and he smiled slightly: "Practice well!"

Then, just leave.

Zhou Qing sighed softly after watching Gao Xuan's back disappear.

He could feel that Master Gao Xuan seemed to be weighed down by a heavy mountain. Although he usually had a kind face and always wore a smile, behind that smile was a suffocating exhaustion and helplessness.

Perhaps, the real truth is only known to the head teacher, and that is why he trusts him so much.

After I finish here and go back, I will definitely learn more about it.

Because he really wanted to help Uncle Gao Xuan.

After returning to the academy, Li Daoxuan and Yan Xiaohu hurried over.

Zhou Qing felt warm in his heart and said, "It's really okay. Where's Junior Sister Lu?"

The two of them finally felt relieved, and Li Daoxuan said, "She was called away by Master Lu."

After chatting for a while, Zhou Qing returned to his cave and continued to read the letter given to him by Master Lin.

Fortunately, in the next few days, the mysterious man did not appear again to harass Yan Xiaohu, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Just today, Second Uncle suddenly came to the door, with a look of anticipation and excitement on his face, and said, "How have your studies been going recently? Today is the day that Teacher Lin is giving a class, don't miss it."

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he smiled and said, "I've gained a lot, and I can't even wait any longer."

The second uncle said with a proud look on his face, "Of course not. It doesn't matter who chose you. Let's go!"

Then, the two of them headed towards the inner courtyard.

Along the way, various buildings are scattered in an orderly manner. The ancient pavilions and lush spiritual plants complement each other, making people feel a little happier.

Soon after, they arrived at a hall called [Spirit Array Pavilion]. Before they even stepped into the hall, they could hear noisy voices coming from inside.

The academy does not have many rules regarding teaching. All inner school students can freely choose to attend classes taught by any of the eight instructors.

After all, it’s always good to have many skills, but how much you can learn depends on your luck.

Of course, good students are loved by their teachers wherever they go, just like Lu Yaoyao and Erdaye.

There are always a lot of people coming to every class, but only a small number of people can truly understand and follow the instructor's ideas.

Most people actually just come to make themselves known.

When the two of them entered, many people had already gathered in the hall, all sitting on cushions, some discussing in groups of two or three, while others were alone with their eyes closed, resting and waiting for the instructor to arrive.

All the good seats were taken, so the two had no choice but to find a secluded corner to sit down.

Zhou Qingze looked around and was secretly surprised that almost all the students here were at the Nascent Soul stage.

There are even several people whose auras are as steady as a mountain, similar to Li Hanshan and Yu Ziqi, who have already begun to understand the rudiments of artistic conception.

After all, this place gathers people from the four major regions of Haomiao Prefecture, and there are countless talented people from various sects.

Soon, a steady sound of footsteps was heard, and the hall instantly became quiet.

Lin Daochen walked in, and everyone immediately stood up and saluted respectfully: "Greetings, sir!"

Lin Daochen nodded with a faint smile on his face and gestured for everyone to sit down.

He glanced at the crowd and, after confirming that several top students were there, he revealed a relieved smile.

Then he said, "Today, we will continue to explore the art of prohibition. Formations are the embodiment of the laws of heaven and earth. They can trap enemies, kill them, and protect an area. Their subtleties are endless..."

As he spoke, he gently waved his hands in the air, and several streams of spiritual power flew out like nimble silk threads, instantly activating several formation plates placed on the podium.

So that everyone can feel and understand it more intuitively.

Soon, someone raised their hand and said, "Sir, may I ask, if the 'Starry Sky Trapping Formation' you just mentioned were to encounter a powerful being proficient in the laws of space, would it still be able to trap the enemy?"

After hearing this, Lin Daochen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This issue has actually been mentioned in previous lectures. In addition to facing monks who are proficient in the laws of space, this formation also has some other limitations.

But I also understand that these people are just pretending to understand and have not really thought deeply about or understood.

Moreover, each student has different foundations and comprehension abilities, so there is no need to be too serious about it.

Therefore, he shook his head slightly.

The person asking the question immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Master Lin, for clearing up my doubts. I, Bai Tinglong, am deeply grateful."

Then, another person stood up and asked the same question about the scraps.

"I am Wu Shang, thank you for your help, sir."

"Student Li Xiaonan, thank you, sir."

…………

Then, Lin Daochen continued to tell the story.

Zhou Qing, who was sitting in the corner, felt his buttocks were numb from maintaining the same posture for a long time, so he moved slightly.

Suddenly, a prompt sound rang in his ears.

【Ignore point +4】

Zhou Qing was stunned for a moment, then his face quickly turned delighted.

Can this be done?
Then, he glanced at the second uncle secretly, and saw that the second uncle was leaning forward slightly, his eyes fixed on Lin Daochen, listening attentively.

He would quickly take notes from time to time, and occasionally stop to think, with an expression of sudden enlightenment on his face, as if he had entered a state of ecstasy.

This made Zhou Qing admire him.

When it comes to various subjects, Second Uncle is actually a truly pure person. Otherwise, how could a dignified Soul Severing Realm master ignore him so easily?
Unfortunately, the talent skill [Reduce Presence] can only be refreshed in a tense and exciting multiplayer environment and when it is ignored for a certain period of time.

Now all other conditions are met, but it’s not exciting enough.

The points that can be refreshed can only be considered as being barely ignored.

But this is also pretty good. Although it is a bit slower, it is a long-term process, and there are different instructors teaching every day.

Maybe this time the academy group will have a chance to refresh the last skill fragment.

[Heart Judgment Points +2]

Time passed little by little, and soon another prompt sounded.

"Zhou Qing, do you have any questions?"

At this moment, Lin Daochen above glanced at everyone, and finally stopped his gaze on Zhou Qing, and asked with a kind face.

The others all turned around, their faces filled with curiosity.

Zhou Qing?

Who is it?

Why haven't you heard of it before?

Someone from the outer court was suddenly promoted?
Over the years, apart from Si Yunya (Second Uncle), the teacher is one of the few students who actively asks questions.

At this moment, the second uncle also looked at Zhou Qing with a smile.

Zhou Qing stood up and bowed respectfully, showing his humility.

Then he said earnestly, "Sir, your explanation was extremely thorough and detailed. I have benefited greatly from it, no doubt about that. However, I have some thoughts on the Constellation Formation, and I would like to take the liberty to add a few words."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present suddenly changed their expressions.

"How arrogant! You actually think there's something to add to what you've said. You really don't know your place!"

"That's right. Mr. Lin's understanding of formations is so profound. How can a nobody like him question it? Which sect is this from?"

"Maybe he really does have some unique insights. Mr. Lin took the initiative to ask him, so Zhou Qing must be no ordinary person."

"Hmph, let's see what he can come up with. I think he's just trying to get your attention, just like everyone else."

……

Everyone immediately started talking to each other, and noisy voices echoed in the hall.

On the other hand, the second uncle had a look of anticipation on his face, with excitement glittering in his eyes.

Lin Daochen above also became curious at this moment. An interested smile appeared on his originally calm face. He waved his hand gently, signaling everyone to be quiet.

Then he smiled and said encouragingly, "Tell me about it."

PS: It’s a new month, a new day, please give me a monthly ticket!
