Chapter 158 Suspiciously smooth(1/2)
The two came to Tingchao Bay and saw several pavilions and stone sculptures on the edge of the beach.
"Brother, on Drifting Island, this sea area has the biggest waves.
But it’s a bit early now, and I’m afraid we’ll have to wait for more than an hour before the tide rises.”
"Thank you, junior sister. I have remembered the way back. You can go and do your own business. I will meditate nearby."
Qi Xian nodded, no longer bothered this uneloquent senior brother, and left.
Jin Ziming walked slowly along the coast.
At this time, he has found out that the female cultivator who is following him has the Dzogchen cultivation level of Yuanying, but the Yuanshen is still in the late fourth level.
If nothing else, this is the female nun who got the chance while exploring the cave.
Ye Changxin told him before going to the island that this person was the apprentice of the third elder.
Jin Ziming sat cross-legged on the beach. In order to prevent his "enlightenment" from being disturbed, he used a protective shield.
The female cultivator found a pavilion in the distance, took out a futon and sat on it.
It looks like he is practicing cultivation, but in fact he continues to monitor the visitor at the beach.
Jin Ziming ignored her. She had a protective shield anyway, so she didn't have to worry about being eavesdropped.
He took out Rui Ying's sound transmission jade talisman and asked:
"Rui Ying, are you here?"
"Brother, Sister Jieying and I are on our way here, please wait a moment."
"Don't come close, the disciples of the third elder of Drifting Island are watching me."
"Ah, Senior Sister Huang, why is she spying on you? It's not necessary."
"We are here this time just to cause trouble for the master and apprentice."
"No wonder, I heard that they have recently become very close to an elder named Mo from the Taoist Academy.
Did they get involved in the fight between the Ye family and the Mo family?"
"No, I heard that they were hooked up with a powerful elder of Xiaoyao Sect?" Jin Ziming was surprised.
"That's strange. Oh, brother, why are you doing things with the Taoist dean?
I met Senior Sister Ye last time in Thunder City, could it be that you are the Ye family’s son-in-law ‘Demon Sword’?”
"Yes." Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Jin Ziming simply admitted it.
"Wow, you are so awesome. You are actually one of the six geniuses in the Hongqing world. You have even defeated 'Ten Thousand Techniques'. I admire you so much." Rui Ying exclaimed.
"As long as you and Jieying know, it must be kept secret. I don't want my enemies to come looking for me."
"Okay, we will definitely not leak it.
By the way, brother, I haven’t thanked you in person yet, but you helped me solve a big trouble last time.”
"How is that Gu Qinghong?"
"She was completely disabled, but Uncle Pang, who was protecting her, saved her.
However, while her spirit was weak, I asked an elder to interrogate her and confessed that Gu Qinghong had instructed her to hire a murderer to kill me, and she was imprisoned in the dungeon."
"Does Drifting Island suspect that you are taking revenge on Gu Qinghong?"
"It's not important. Master wants us to compete. She only cares about who wins. As for the process, she doesn't care."
"Okay then, give Jieying the transmission talisman and I'll have a chat with her."
Xu Jieying took the jade talisman and said:
"Senior Brother Jin, thank you for helping me get promoted to Drifting Island."
"This is a small matter, Jieying. Guang Liang hasn't contacted me for a long time. Do you know how he is doing lately?"
"He and I have been exchanging letters. He was transferred from Tomahawk City to the Qiu Shi Branch in Beikuizhou early last year. Did you know that?"
"I heard what he said."
"After he passed, it was pretty good at first.
But a few months later, the branch changed its chief elder. His cynical character was at odds with others, and he was unlucky and lost a big deal.
Now his life is very difficult, and the great elder has marginalized him and only does odd jobs."
"He didn't mention this to me?"
"He knows it's not easy for you in Shuiyang Pavilion, and he's sorry to bother you with his own affairs again."
"Well, I can only take it easy. If it doesn't work, try to change the branch."
"He has only been in Qiu Shi City for a little over a year. It is said that according to the rules of Lingyun Sect, he cannot be transferred again in such a short period of time."
"Oh, this is the policy."
"Then I have to endure it first and watch while walking." Xu Jieying sighed.
"I'll look for a chance to talk to him."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Jin."
"He is my brother, why are you being polite to me?
That woman is still staring at me, so we won’t see each other today. You go back, I’ll sit there for a while and then leave.”
"Okay." The two girls agreed immediately.
"You two practice hard and strive to be promoted to the Nascent Soul Realm as soon as possible.
The Ye family has a strong influence in the Taoist temple. I will talk to them then and I should be able to get you two in."
Xu Jieying and Rui Ying were overjoyed and quickly thanked them.
When the tide came, Jin Ziming began to meditate and comprehend.
More than an hour later, the sky darkened. He stood up and walked back, and soon felt Huang Mengyu following him.
When he arrived at the door of the reception room, there were disciples waiting there, taking him to have a meal with the elders.
After the guests had enjoyed themselves, Ye Changxin and Jin Ziming stayed. After everyone else had retreated, the latter sent a message:
"Uncle Six, I went to the beach this afternoon, and that Huang Mengyu followed me quietly."
"Haha, you have a guilty conscience."
"There is one thing that the family may not know yet.
I have a trustworthy friend on the drifting island, and she sends me messages.
It is said that Master Sanchang, his disciple, and the Mo family of the Taoist Academy have become very close recently."
"Well, the Mo family is also involved? No wonder Ni Yaxuan is so courageous.
Recently, the three elders of the Taoist Academy were promoted to the Great Perfection of the Mahayana stage and transferred to the Xiaoyao Sect.
After this seat became vacant, the clan heads of the Ye Mo family fought fiercely for it.
Both families have their own uplines in the Xiaoyao Sect, but the Mo family is slightly stronger.
Since both Xiaoyao Sect and Taoist Academy are involved, this matter may not be simple."
"Uncle Six, do we need to adjust our plan?"
"No, let's see what happens tomorrow.
We can just take a copy of the notes, I'm sorry the woman doesn't dare not give them.
As for the deeper disputes, they will be decided by the family council of elders, and you and I do not need to get involved for the time being."
After breakfast the next day, the First Elder and the Third Chief came as promised. They invited Ye and Jin into a quiet room.
"First Elder, Third Elder, I believe you already know the purpose of my visit, right?" Ye Changxin said solemnly.
"Ya Xuan told me last night, and I found out the whole story.
It is indeed wrong for her to communicate beyond the level without authorization. Alas, Yaxuan, you should tell Elder Ye yourself."
"Elder Ye, I'm really ashamed. I know I was wrong.
I am obsessed with it, and I think Mengyu has a good talent. I hope she can go to a super sect to practice. When she becomes successful, I will also be honored to have you.
But I threw all the most basic rules behind me, which really disgraced the Taoist Academy and brought trouble to the sect.
I hereby solemnly apologize and ask for your forgiveness.
This matter is my personal arrangement and has nothing to do with the sect and Mengyu. I beg Elder Ye and the Taoist Academy not to anger them."
"Since you have acknowledged your mistake and have not yet taken action, I can forgive you. I hope that after you go back and report it to the Taoist Academy, the punishment will not be too severe."
"Thank you, Elder Ye. Yaxuan will never forget today's kindness." The third elder burst into tears of gratitude.
Jin Ziming was surprised at first, and then alert.
The fact that the other party disarmed him so easily was completely different from what he expected, and it was really questionable.
