Chapter 28 Grandfather and Grandson's Conversation
8 PM.
Lu Jin, representing Wudang Zhou Meng, led Yue Qing away.
Many employees of Rennatong expressed their doubts about this.
When did Lu Jin, one of the Ten Elders, become so close to Wudang?
Could it be that Yue Qing is Lu Jin's illegitimate son?
On second thought, the idea seemed ridiculous. After all, that was Lu Jin, one of the Ten Elders, Qingfeng Sanren, a man of impeccable character. How could he possibly do such a thing?
The entrance to the YT City Nadutong branch.
As Xiao Zizai watched Yue Qing being led away, a strange feeling welled up inside him.
It's like when you were a child, watching others eat snacks, but you didn't have any money, so you could only watch longingly, feeling really envious!
Dou Le sighed helplessly, then said, "Stop looking at Xiao... Even if Yue Qing is really the fellow patient you mentioned, according to the rules, you can't lay a hand on him, understand?"
"Old Dou, it's not what you think!" Xiao Zizai shook his head, staring infatuatedly at the departing black-robed Taoist. "I'm just simply jealous of him. We're all patients, so why can he be so carefree, just putting on his pants and leaving?"
This statement is flawed, but while the language may be crude, the underlying principle is sound.
In Xiao Zizai's eyes, Yue Qing not only ate with gusto, but also swaggered away as if nothing had happened afterward. For Xiao Zizai, who had been trapped in a cage for so long, this made him so jealous that his penis turned purple.
He hates it!
Why don't I have the surname Yue!
In response, Dou Le said: "Listen to this, is this even human language?"
……
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Yue Qing, who was led away by Lu Jin, did not return to the Celestial Master's Mansion. Instead, she and Old Master Lu found a restaurant in YT City and sat down to enjoy a hearty meal.
"Grandpa, it's you who came to save me. If my master had come, he would have kicked me without saying a word!" Yue Qing said while slurping the noodles in his bowl, and there was nothing wrong with his words.
Lu Jin looked at the person in front of him, not touching his chopsticks, crossed his arms, and said with a smile, "Yunlong is a skilled cultivator, but he's a bit slow-witted. Killing a few Quanxing members is nothing compared to what we did in our time; we probably wouldn't have killed enough, or shown enough hatred!"
After a brief pause, he continued, "It's a pity that the Four Madmen of Quanxing and the higher-ups weren't inside. Otherwise, the advisor would definitely have intervened and wiped them out."
As he finished speaking, Yue Qing continued slurping his noodles, lost in thought.
Lu Jin's hatred for Quanxing stemmed from the Sanyi Sect. Even after decades, the old man had seen through some of the tricks of the past, but the sect's decline was ultimately Quanxing's doing.
In his heart, the spirit of "If the sect does not perish, the sect will not prosper, and the three levels of cultivation will be difficult to advance" will never be extinguished.
In other words, Old Master Lu has taken everything from the past upon himself. Even though he now has everything he needs—wealth, companions, laws, and land—his innate nature makes it difficult for him to advance further.
Yue Qing said, "I didn't kill just a few, I killed dozens. According to company rules, there are already many twists and turns involved that are not conducive to unity."
"Since you know this, why insist on refining the Three Corpses? The Quanxing Sect deserves to die, that's undeniable, but if they're all wiped out, haven't you thought about yourself?" Lu Jin turned to look at the neon lights outside the window, the bustling pedestrians and traffic: "I don't know what to say to you. Leave the past to this old man. You stay in Wudang peacefully. With your talent, it won't be long before you reach the position of one of the Ten Elders, and the glory of the Three Ones will be passed on to you..."
As he continued speaking, Old Master Lu's tone grew weaker and weaker until he fell silent.
Although Yue Qing was not a disciple of the Lu family, Lu Jin saw in him himself when the Sanyi Clan was wiped out, only this kid was stronger than him, and this was the price he paid...
Ugh!
Seemingly remembering something, Lu Jin asked, "What do you think of this year's Luo Tian Grand Ceremony?"
"How else can we watch? By sitting down, of course." Yue Qing stopped talking, took a sip of iced tea, and said nonchalantly, "Isn't this just a show of force put on by the Old Master to protect Zhang Chulan? What, is the advisor also interested in the position of the Old Master?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Jin was somewhat surprised, not expecting the other party to guess correctly. After thinking for a moment, he added, "So, you're not really interested in the position of Celestial Master?"
Yue Qing nodded. He participated in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony only for the Eight Extraordinary Skills. As for the position of Celestial Master, that was a trap; only an idiot would want it.
"The old Celestial Master is in his prime. If he really relinquishes his position and is free from pressure, does he think the world of supernatural beings will be at peace?"
Is there any necessary connection between these two things?
"Let me put it this way, sir, who do you think in the world of supernatural beings today could kill the Old Celestial Master?"
"I?"
Yue Qing: What outrageous remarks did I just hear?
Did Lu Jin kill the Celestial Master?
Haven't you had enough of that stuff?
Lu Jin retorted irritably, "What? You think I, Lu Jin, am incapable? Believe me or not, I'll slap you across the face!"
Yue Qing smiled wryly and quickly said, "I acknowledge your strength, Master, but let's look at the rankings in the world of supernatural beings. Below the absolute top, can those so-called heroes really harm the Celestial Master?"
"A bunch of greenhorns, who haven't even mastered their own skills yet, would need to spend another hundred years cultivating before they can hurt Zhang Zhiwei."
"If that's what you think, then the company will think the same way." Yue Qing said, "Having the old Celestial Master in that position is both a constraint and an honor. But Zhang Chulan joined the company first, and he's not a true disciple of Longhu Mountain. If he really inherits the position of Celestial Master, who would feel at ease letting such a time bomb as the old Celestial Master run around everywhere?"
Lu Jin remained silent for a long while before saying, "So you mean that even if Zhang Chulan wins first place in the end, he won't choose that position?"
"That's why I say you're incredibly intelligent!"
Stop trying to be cheeky.
Yue Qing wiped his mouth with a tissue and continued, "So, the old Celestial Master is like a sword hanging over the heads of the supernatural world. Before he moved, he was a Celestial Master. After he moved, whether he's an immortal or a demon, nobody knows. In the end, the most troubled are the company's higher-ups. They finally got to this position, and if this matter disrupts the existing stability, and if the higher-ups step down and there's a change of dynasty, that's no small matter."
As one of the Ten Elders, Lu Jin naturally knew these things, but when these words came from the mouth of a junior who had lived in the mountains for a long time, he was mostly shocked.
Suddenly, he saw in Yue Qing the hope of reviving the Trinity Sect.
The old Celestial Master is really something, what kind of grand assembly is this, delaying my passing on my skills to my precious grand-disciple.
"Oh clumsy~"
In the Celestial Master's room, the old Celestial Master couldn't help but burst into tears.
"It must be that old Lu cursing me again. Looks like I need to figure out how to schedule a time to talk to him."
As he spoke, the old master's gaze fell on the gatehouse of his junior brother, Tian Jinzhong, his thoughts swirling, pondering many things.
