Chapter 2308: The Senior Elder of Tiandaozong
Because they didn’t know whether the old man was a friend or an enemy, Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning disguised themselves as Qing Feng and Qing He in order to avoid meeting the old man.
Lao Zhang left after making the meal, so Stone was the only mortal left in the house. Given the current situation, Leng Shaoting needed him to leave, so he told Stone to take a few days off.
Jing Yunyao and Miao Jingjing went directly back to their rooms. If the old man came in, they wouldn’t appear.
The old man had no malice for the people in the siheyuan, but he was very curious to know who was living there. Therefore, the old man decided to pay them a visit.
Although it was an abrupt visit, he was unwilling to leave without figuring out who was living there. If there were familiar faces, it wouldn’t be impolite.
Accordingly, the old man walked to the front gate of the siheyuan and knocked on it.
Gu Ning came to open the door. This time, she showed her level as the cultivator, Qing He.
Once the door opened, the old man said politely, “Miss, sorry to bother, I just passed by and could see that there are spells cast on this siheyuan. I thought that there must be people of my kind living in it, so I knocked on the door. Would you please introduce me to the master who cast the spells?”
The old man didn’t bother to hide his intention, because he wanted to show his sincerity. Moreover, he needed a good reason to get in the house.
Nobody was stupid. If he lied, he would easily be seen through.
“Since we are of the same kind, you are our guest. Please come in!” Gu Ning said. She had a different appearance now, so she didn’t mind meeting the old man. In addition, she could see that this old man was very kind, so there was no reason for her to be rude to him.
“Thank you very much.” The old man thanked her, then followed her inside.
As soon as the old man entered the siheyuan, he was shocked, because it was filled with magical power. At this moment, the old man was even more impressed by the level of the master who cast the spells on this house.
“Miss, may I know your name?” asked the old man. He was still very polite. He didn’t think lightly of Gu Ning just because she was much younger than him.
“My name is Qing He,” said Gu Ning.
“Qing He?” The old man was surprised and asked, “Are you Senior Shangguan’s disciple, Qing He?”
He had heard about the kung fu competition held in the cultivation world last time, and was astonished by the fact that Shangguan Yang was still alive.
If Shangguan Yang was the master who lived in this house, it wouldn’t be surprising that this house was protected so well.
“Yes,” said Gu Ning. She wasn’t surprised that this old man was aware of Shangguan Yang’s relationship with her.
Hearing Gu Ning’s answer, the old man got excited. “Oh, I didn’t know it’s Senior Shangguan who lives here! Since Senior Shangguan is here, I think I must see him.”
“Sir, do you know my master? What should I call you?” asked Gu Ning.
“I’m the Senior Elder of Tiandaozong, Yu Jianghong.” Yu Jianghong introduced himself.
“Oh, hi, Elder Yu, very honored to see you. When I visited the cultivation world last time, I heard you were on a retreat!” Gu Ning was slightly surprised when she heard that the old man was the Senior Elder of Tiandaozong. She could see that the old man was at a very high level, but she wasn’t sure how high his level was. Therefore, she thought that this old man couldn’t be an ordinary cultivator, but she didn’t expect him to be an elder of Tiandaozong.
“Yeah, I was on a retreat and didn’t come out until a few days ago,” said Yu Jianghong.
As they talked, Gu Ning brought Yu Jianghong to the living room.
In the hall, only Shangguan Yang and Leng Shaoting were present.
“Master, the guest is here,” said Gu Ning.
Yu Jianghong hadn’t seen Shangguan Yang in reality before, but he had seen Shangguan Yang’s photos, so he was sure that the person in front of him was Shangguan Yang.
“Honored to see you, Senior Shangguan, I’m the Senior Elder of Tiandaozong, Yu Jianghong.” Yu Jianghong bowed to Shangguan Yang. Although they were at the same age, there was a gap between their levels, so Yu Jianghong had to be very respectful of Shangguan Yang.
Because cultivators respected the strong, even if you were older than another cultivator, you still needed to show your respect as long as your level was lower.
Shangguan Yang didn’t put on any airs, especially in front of people who were kind to him. Therefore, he also stood up and politely replied to Yu Jianghong. “Hi, very nice to see you, Elder Yu. Please have a seat.”
After that, Yu Jianghong sat down with Shangguan Yang, and Gu Ning went to pour a cup of tea for him.
“I’m sorry for the abrupt visit. Please forgive me, Senior Shangguan,” said Yu Jianghong. Although he paid a sudden visit, he thought that he should apologize to show his manners.
“It’s not abrupt at all. We were supposed to meet each other last time in the cultivation world,” said Shangguan Yang. He didn’t mind it at all.
“I was on a retreat back then, so I was absent at the kung fu competition. I didn’t know you had visited the cultivation world until I came out. It’s a great pity that we didn’t see each other. Luckily, I coincidentally found your residence right after I left the cultivation world,” said Yu Jianghong.
He told the truth. Shangguan Yang enjoyed a high status and he was on a very high level too, so Yu Jianghong was interested in seeing him.
“Senior Shangguan, I have to say that your two disciples are really impressive. They won the first and second prize with so many magical crystals.”
Saying that, Yu Jianghong complimented Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting. He was very sincere. Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning gained a lot of fame after the competition in the cultivation world, and became idols of many cultivators. Many people were also jealous of them.
“Well, they’re indeed talented and powerful, otherwise I wouldn’t have picked them.” Shangguan Yang laughed when Yu Jianghong complimented his disciples.
“Ha-ha, you’re right. Senior Shangguan, your two disciples are still very young. I bet they’ll be very successful in the future,” said Yu Jianghong. He was certain that Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning had potential. They were talented, and had Shangguan Yang who was at a very high level as their master.
Yu Jianghong enjoyed chatting with Shangguan Yang. However, he felt embarrassed to stay for too long, so he was ready to leave after half an hour.
Before he walked away, Yu Jianghong gave a glance at Leng Shaoting, then said, “I have a disciple who is at the same age as Qing Feng. He’s at a lower level, but is also in the Golden Core Stage. If it’s possible, I hope you two can have a competition for fun.”
“No problem,” said Leng Shaoting. It wasn’t a bad idea.
They knew that Yu Jianghong’s disciple was Baili Zongyang, but Yu Jianghong was unaware that they were familiar, both in real life and as their aliases..
