"Uh, this..."

Seeing the impatient expression on my face, Zuo Qingmei undoubtedly looked very embarrassed. He hesitated again and again, and then said with a wry smile: "I know you may have criticized my previous behavior, but

The old man actually has his own reasons!"

"Yeah?"

I glanced at him coldly, and I said to myself that I was not just "a bit dissatisfied" with you, but that I was simply very dissatisfied, okay?

If I hadn't considered the relationship between grandpa and Maoshan Sect, and worried about the safety of Mr. Deng, the old director, Xia Wuren, Xia Xiaoyi and others, I wouldn't bother to care about your life and death.

"well--"

Zuo Qingmei let out a long sigh, perhaps sensing the disdain between my eyebrows. Zuo Qingmei gritted his teeth, as if he had suddenly made up his mind, and then said: "To be honest, I have already sensed the 'Earthly Immortal Catastrophe'

, I’m afraid that in these few days, I may soon be going through a tribulation! So..."

"snort!"

I snorted coldly, and before Zuo Qingmei finished speaking, I said with a sneer on my face: "So you don't care about the life and death of the righteous sects, and plan to block the mountain gate and find a place to safely survive the disaster?"

Zuo Qingmei is about to face his own "Earth Immortal Catastrophe", which is a bit beyond my expectation, but at the same time it also solves a confusion in my mind.

That is, the Maoshan Sect has clearly declared neutrality, so why does Mei Feibai still have to come to attack Maoshan in a thankless way?

Logically speaking, the Maoshan Sect has declared neutrality. Isn't this a perfect opportunity for them to take advantage of the opportunity to wipe out the righteous sects? How could they suddenly stop and attack Maoshan again? This is not in the interests of Mei Feibai and others!

Now the truth is finally revealed. It turns out that they have also learned that Zuo Qingmei is about to escape the tribulation. They are worried that once Zuo Qingmei successfully escapes the tribulation, it will pose a greater threat to him and Hu San, so they change their guns.

I want to get rid of Zuo Qingmei’s serious problem first!

But is this the reason why Zuo Qingmei refuses to save her?

If he was just a casual cultivator who didn't want to get involved in this matter because he was about to undergo a tribulation, I'm afraid no one would accuse him of doing something wrong.

It's a pity that he is not a casual cultivator, but the leader of Maoshan Sect, and the only master among the righteous sects who has taken the lead in breaking through the Earthly Immortal Realm. Therefore, he has no shirk at all. Even if there is a big matter, he should fight with him.

All the righteous sects advance and retreat together, instead of just thinking about their own "earth immortal catastrophe"!

As if she guessed what I was thinking, Zuo Qingmei immediately said: "Yes! I admit that what I did was indeed somewhat selfish, but aren't people all selfish?"

As he said that, he couldn't help but stared at me with his eyes fiercely, and asked: "If it were you, can you guarantee that you will never have any selfish intentions?"

Of course I can't guarantee that I have no selfish motives, but I can definitely guarantee one thing, that is, I will never disregard the life and death of the righteous sects and only think about overcoming the tribulation on my own!

But now I am not in the mood to argue with Zuo Qingmei about this. As the saying goes, "different ways do not work together." As a completely independent individual, Zuo Qingmei's approach may be understandable, but the mistake is that he should not have done it.

He is the head of the Maoshan Sect, it's that simple.

"Okay!"

Thinking of this, my expression softened somewhat, and I waved my hand and said, "Since the matter has already been like this, it is useless to talk more. Let's get down to business. Why did you come to me this time?"

Even if I think about it with my toes, I know that Zuo Qingmei must have something to ask for this time. Otherwise, my attitude just now was so bad. As the head of Maoshan and the pride of the Earth Immortal master, he would never do it.

Explain so much to me.

He could have the patience to tell me so much, and even tell the truth about such a secret thing as he was about to undergo a catastrophe. This was obviously not to ask for my forgiveness, but he must have wanted my help for something!

"Then I'll tell the truth!"

Seeing that I had made my words clear, Zuo Qingmei finally stopped talking about her mother-in-law, so she got straight to the point: "To be honest, I shamelessly came to you this time, not for myself, but for the sake of the entire Maoshan Sect.

Life or death!"

"oh?"

I looked at him suspiciously and thought to myself, how could this have anything to do with the life and death of the Maoshan Sect? Aren't Mei Feibai and Hu San already beaten away?

But I did not ask, but remained silent, patiently waiting for Zuo Qingmei's next words.

"Others may not know this, but you should know that my Earth Immortal fruition status was actually obtained through external forces, so I have no confidence that I can survive the Earth Immortal Tribulation!"

Speaking of this, Zuo Qingmei couldn't help but flash a trace of deep sadness in his eyes, and said with a bitter look on his face: "In addition, after this battle, I was seriously injured, and the hope of successfully overcoming the disaster will undoubtedly be even greater.

It’s slim! So I hope that before I go through the tribulation, you can take over the baton from me as the leader of Maoshan!"

"ah?"

As soon as this statement came out, I couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, and subconsciously shook my head: "No! I have no interest in the position of the leader!"

While speaking, I even glanced at Zuo Qingmei with disdain, saying to myself that you deliberately took away the position of the leader of Maoshan from my grandfather. Now that the Maoshan Sect is about to be razed to the ground, what is left is like this

What a mess, you want to blame me again?

What about dreaming?

Where in the world is there such a cheap thing? You get all the benefits by yourself, and when it's your turn to make a mess, you want me to clean up the mess for you?

Not to mention that the current Maoshan Sect has become such a mess, you are the Maoshan Sect in its heyday. If you leave it to me, I will be dismissive because I am not interested in this thing at all!

"Can I beg you?"

Seeing that I rejected his proposal without hesitation, Zuo Qingmei's eyes suddenly became anxious, and she subconsciously said: "Are you going to watch the Maoshan Sect decline like this?"

"I'm sorry, I really have no interest at all!"

Shaking his head slightly, what I actually want to say is: It’s just a decline. What does it have to do with me? It’s not me who caused this!

But then I thought about it, even if Zuo Qingmei was selfish, his sense of belonging to Maoshan Sect was still worthy of sympathy, so I swallowed these words alive, which was considered as a kind of virtue.

Thinking of this, I didn't even have any desire to communicate with Zuo Qingmei anymore. As soon as I turned around, Zuo Qingmei disappeared straight away, and then rushed towards Mr. Deng and others who were busy in the distance.

After listening to Zuo Qingmei's words, I suddenly felt a lot of pressure. At the same time, I felt more and more that the matter of "creating an immortal" was imminent, because I was also not optimistic about Zuo Qingmei.

As he said himself, his Earthly Immortal "Tao Fruit" was not originally obtained through his own hard work, so the foundation was unstable, and the possibility of surviving the "Earthly Immortal Tribulation" was really slim.

And once he dies in the "Earth Immortal Tribulation" and there are no other Earth Immortal masters on our side, Mei Feibai and others will inevitably become more and more crazy, so we must hurry up!

"Huh?"

It wasn't until I came to Mr. Deng and others that I suddenly realized that the old director had already left. Only Mr. Deng and Xia Wuren were left busy dealing with the aftermath, so I subconsciously asked: "Where is the old director?"

?”

"He has rushed back to the imperial capital as soon as possible!"

Mr. Deng smiled slightly and said: "Creating an immortal is no small matter, and the Religious Affairs Bureau happens to have such a successful precedent, so the old director plans to go to the imperial capital to ask for advice on successful experiences! At the same time, he will try his best to gain resources from the Religious Affairs Bureau!"

"Yeah?"

I frowned slightly. For some reason, when I heard that the old director and others planned to win the support of the Religious Affairs Bureau, a strong worry flashed through my heart. I always felt that this matter might not go so smoothly!

But I didn't think too much about it. Anyway, from the beginning, I didn't have much hope for the Religious Affairs Bureau. It would be great if we could win their support. If not, we wouldn't have much to lose.

"Right!"

I was quickly weighing the pros and cons in my mind, but Xia Wuren on the side couldn't help but suddenly interrupted me and asked: "What did the guy named Zuo want to do with you just now?"

"nothing……"

Shaking my head slightly, I said with a sneer: "He wants to give me the position of leader of Maoshan!"

"ah?"

As soon as these words came out, Xia Wuren couldn't help but be dumbfounded on the spot. He couldn't help but subconsciously asked: "Then...then you promised him?"

"How is that possible!"

I quickly shook my head: "You still don't understand me? Don't tell me that the Maoshan Sect has become like this. Even if it were handed over to me in its heyday, I wouldn't take it seriously!"

"Then I'll be relieved!"

Hearing what I said so decisively, Xia Wuren couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then said with a proud look on his face: "This is really ironic. I think back then, in order to compete for the position of the head of the family from your grandfather, the man named Zuo,

It’s a lot of painstaking efforts! It’s good now that Maoshan Sect has been completely disabled, and he actually wants to throw this mess into your hands again!”

"Well done! I'm telling you, brat, you must not take over this mess now, or you will suffer the consequences!"

"Don't worry! I'm not that stupid!"

Nodding solemnly, I couldn't help but glance at Zuo Qingmei, who was looking among the ruins not far away.

For some reason, looking at his slightly old and desolate figure, I suddenly couldn't bear it, and I secretly reflected in my heart, was what I just said a little too much?
