Male supporting role is not a stepping stone

The hot-tempered Third Uncle was about to explode on the spot, but Zhang Taihe held him down and tried to reason with the person in charge: "The four of us can live in two rooms. Can you discuss with a fellow practitioner for us and let us squeeze together? It will only take one or two nights. I believe it should be fine."

"I'm sorry, Master Zhang. I'm just a small person in charge. I can't be the master of the masters." The man raised his chin slightly and looked at them with a sidelong glance. Obviously, he didn't take them seriously at all.

Zhang Taihe was not a good-tempered person. The reason why he was patient to discuss with him was because they were all fellow practitioners. Seeing that he was so stubborn and showed that he was going to make things difficult, his face darkened and he was about to explode.

"Hey, aren't these the masters of the Maoshan Sect?" Suddenly, a voice came from the side, interrupting the confrontation between the two sides, "I heard that the people of Maoshan have always been reasonable, why are they here to embarrass the host today?"

"Master Yu," the person in charge who had just been rude to them immediately restrained his arrogant look and nodded respectfully, "It's no wonder that the head of Maoshan was angry. This matter is all due to the poor performance of the people below. They didn't even arrange housing for you guys."

"So that's how it is," the visitor nodded and said, "That's your fault. Although the Maoshan Sect has declined for decades, it was once glorious. How can you look down on others?"

"That's not the case," the person in charge said helplessly, "Master Yu should know that we in Qingyang Palace have always been fair in doing things. This time it was really just that the subordinates made a mistake accidentally, but I explained it many times, and Master Zhang and his men just wouldn't listen."

"Then that's your fault, Master Zhang," the visitor immediately followed up and condemned, "Everyone makes mistakes. Since he has apologized, why are you so petty and keep pursuing him?"

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it was the person in charge of Qingyang Palace who deliberately made trouble, but the two of them sang the same tune and pushed the matter onto the Maoshan Sect. Do they really think that others are blind?

The dispute at the front desk has attracted many people to watch. Seeing this scene, everyone is ashamed in their hearts, but no one stepped forward to help others. Occasionally, two people wanted to speak up for justice, but they were quickly held down by the people around them, and whispered to them about the origins of the two parties.

The group of people who appeared behind was the Yu family. Forty years ago, when Taoism was revived, the once glorious sect was hit hard. Many spells have been lost, and only one in ten people are left. It is very depressed.

However, a middle-aged man who was previously unknown suddenly appeared, and made a great reputation with his powerful cultivation and spells. He led his family to gain a foothold in the world of heavenly masters and formed the huge Yu family.

Not all members of the Yu family are surnamed Yu. Most of them are disciples accepted by that person and those who can't live alone and rely on the door. Although it is called a "family" to the outside world, it is actually a sect. There are more than a hundred disciples and grandchildren in the sect, which is already a very large force in the current world.

Relatively speaking, Maoshan, which has been unknown for decades and has only four leaders, looks very shabby in front of them, so even if they can see that the Yu family is deliberately bullying others, no one dares to speak up for them.

"Yu, it's not your turn to point fingers at me when I do things. Do you really think I can't see that you two are colluding to cause trouble?"

Zhang Taihe was almost furious. Although he had previously held down his third brother to prevent him from arguing with others, his temper was actually the hottest among the three brothers, but he had only restrained himself a little as he got older.

"Master Zhang, I respect you as my senior and I'm talking to you politely," the visitor frowned, "Doesn't that mean you can take advantage of your seniority here? Do you really think your Maoshan is still as glorious as before?"

"It's not your turn as a junior to judge how good my Maoshan is," Zhang Taihe laughed in anger, "Why don't you ask your old man to speak out?"

"Oh! That's right!" He patted his head and pretended to have just remembered, "I forgot that old man Yu Zhen came to my house and wanted to bully my junior, but he was not as good as him and got himself sick."

"How is your father? Can he get out of bed? I was going to visit him in the hospital, but unfortunately I ran into the Taoist Conference. , I was delayed, I'm really sorry. "

Yu Hong heard him mention this matter in public, his face was so gloomy that water could drip: "Master Zhang indulged his disciples to practice evil magic, hurt my father and showed no repentance. When I meet the president, I'll see how you explain it. "

"If you can't beat them, just say that others practice evil magic. Why didn't I know that your Yu family is so shameless before?" Zhang Taihe sneered, "Who is right and who is wrong is not something you can decide with just your mouth."

"Okay, then we'll meet at the meeting and see if you can still protect your apprentice." Yu Hong said, looking at Yang Yan sinisterly, his eyes were like a poisonous snake staring at its prey.

The unrelated people around him looked at his sinister eyes, and they couldn't help but shudder, secretly sighing in their hearts that Maoshan was going to be unlucky. Who doesn't know that the current president and several senior figures have a good relationship with the Yu family?

If they favor the Yu family, Maoshan, which has been declining for decades, will definitely not end well. Maybe this young man will be abolished at the conference.

Yang Yan was not scared at all, and he wanted to laugh. He gently pulled the master who wanted to argue with the other party and asked in confusion: "Master, is the Taoist Association only allowed to enter but not leave?"

Huh?

Everyone around was stunned. For decades, everyone had been accustomed to joining the association, and no one had ever thought about this problem. After all, the Taoist Association first represented identity.

Secondly, people in the Taoist Association exchange the latest news with each other. Every year, seniors teach their cultivation experience, and often offer rewards. Each of these tasks allows those who follow this path to try their best to get into it.

Unfortunately, except for the early years when the Taoist Association was in urgent need of manpower, it was relatively easy to join. After the Taoist revival, the standards for membership have been raised year after year. Newcomers need to be recommended by at least three members and must be recognized by the stewards before they have the opportunity to join.

Maoshan was lucky enough to join the club early, otherwise they would probably be turned away in their current state.

There are reputations, status, and benefits. Everyone may be able to succeed even if they try hard to get in. No one has ever quit early unless they die, so Yang Yan is the first to raise this issue in many years.

But if you think about it carefully, although the association has a lot of rules and regulations for people who apply for membership, it doesn't seem to say what will happen if you withdraw.

Zhang Taihe was stunned for a moment and said: "There is no such reason. Of course the Taoist Association can come and go as it pleases."

"Then master, why don't we quit!" Yang Yan said easily, "We can't even arrange accommodation for the meeting, and we have to be treated idle here. I don't think this Taoist Association is interesting."

Zhang Taihe was not surprised but thought seriously about his disciple's words. Over the years, Maoshan has not been as prosperous as other sects due to various reasons. Every time he comes to a meeting, he has to suffer a lot of gossip. In fact, he has long been impatient to accept this nonsense.

Now that the Yu family has made it clear that they want to mess with them, although the president and others have not made their stance clear yet, their stance can already be guessed from their previous attitude on the phone and the fact that they are now letting the people in Qingyang Palace neglect them.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, we'll withdraw from the meeting!" Zhang Taihe decided simply. He originally wanted to defend Yu Jia at the meeting and clear away the stigma on his apprentice.

But now, after being reminded by his disciple, he realized that they didn't have that need at all. No matter how powerful the Taoist Association was, it only showed prestige within the association. Could it still care about people outside the association?

If those people insist on saying that Xiao Yan practices association skills and want to cause trouble for them, then just come over! Having seen his apprentice's strength with his own eyes and experiencing the two magic weapons he made, Zhang Taihe didn't worry about the safety of his own people at all.

With absolute strength in hand, he is so strong.

The second uncle and the third uncle had similar ideas to him, so they naturally had no objections. They immediately left the rest of the group behind, turned around and walked out coolly.

"This is my first time coming to City B. I've already come here anyway, so why not go shopping around? Master, Master, do you know any interesting places here?"

"Then I have to ask the head brother, it's my first time here too."

"It's useless to ask me. I used to come here for conferences, and every time I stayed in Qingyang Palace and never went outside to play."

"Hehe! Then I'll lead the way for my two senior brothers and nephew. I dealt with something in the past two years, which was in City B, and I had fun for a few days."

"Isn't this the territory of Qingyang Palace? Why don't you go to them when something happens, but you find it on your head?"

"There is no way. The fees at Qingyang Palace are too high. That family is just an ordinary family and cannot afford to hire them. It happened that a relative of theirs knew me and introduced me here."

The group of people walked easily, talked and laughed, and actually left without any regrets.

Yu family: "..."

Person in charge: "..."

Onlookers: "..."

What seems wrong with this script?

"Stop!" Yu Hong shouted at the backs of several people, "Do you want to leave like this without explaining Zhang Yangyan's practice of evil skills?"

Unfortunately, none of the four masters and disciples paid attention to him. The third uncle raised his middle finger without looking back.

Yu Hong was so angry that he raised his hand and picked up the magic formula and attacked his back. However, he was about to be hit unconsciously, and a disdainful smile appeared on Yu Hong's lips.

Suddenly, a long, slender, snow-white hand with clear bones stretched out from the thorn, and with a flick of the index finger, the green light rushed away along the path it came from, more than twice as fast as when it came.

Yu Hong didn't expect this change at all. Although he reluctantly put up a shield in front of him, his speed was half a beat slower. His chest, which was hit by the counterattack of his spell, felt as if he had been hit by a huge force. Like this, he spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell backwards.

Only then did the third uncle realize that he had been attacked. He turned around, scratched his head, and said to his nephew: "Xiao Yan, what are you doing? You forgot that I have a guardian compass on me? Just fine. Let’s do an experiment.”

Yang Yan rolled his eyes slightly: "The protective shield will not be put back for a while after it pops up. Do you want to wait here for eight hours, or do you want to roll a ball into the city like a hamster?"

"Uh..." Uncle Third Master laughed awkwardly, "That's right, Xiao Yan is very thoughtful."

Zhang Taihe and his second junior brother quietly wiped away their sweat. They had previously thought of guarding the compass without fear, and they also did not consider the consequences of doing so. Fortunately, the third junior brother was exposed first, otherwise they would also have to do it. I am embarrassed in front of my apprentice/nephew. .

While the master, uncle and nephew were having a conversation, the Yu family's gang was already screaming and supporting the young master Yu Hong, and then rushed over to surround them.

"You Maoshan are so brave, you dare to attack in front of so many comrades and hurt our young master!"

Third Uncle rolled his eyes: "Are you all shameless people in the Yu family? He was the first to attack and hurt someone from behind. What's wrong with my nephew fighting back?"

Everyone saw the scene just now. It's not just the Yu family who were present. They can say whatever they want. The person who asked the question was speechless for a while.

"Okay, I acted impulsively in this matter," Yu Hong was helped to stand up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "But everyone has seen that this kid must have practiced evil skills, otherwise how could he have such a high level of cultivation at such a young age?"

"I was seriously injured and couldn't stop him. Please help me. Don't let this person leave, so as not to let the tiger go back to the mountains and cause trouble to the world in the future."

The people present were mostly in their forties and fifties. Of course, they could see that Yang Yan's move just now seemed easy but was actually not simple at all. It was indeed not something that a young man in his twenties could do.

Several of them were really persuaded by him and surrounded the master and his disciples. The others saw someone taking the lead, hesitated for a moment and followed, and instantly surrounded them tightly.

"The Yu family has no evidence, just empty words and casually slandered my disciples for practicing evil skills. You believed it as soon as you heard it?" Zhang Taihe swept his eyes across the faces of the crowd, and was immediately angry and laughed.

The glaring mockery in his eyes made some people lower their heads and have the idea of ​​retreating. Yu Hong noticed their intentions and immediately said: "Whether it is slander or not is not up to my Yu family to decide, but if you are not guilty, why don't you dare to stay and let the president and others decide?"

He said it frankly, which seemed quite selfless. In contrast, the Maoshan Sect's eagerness to leave gave people a guilty feeling, and those who had doubts just now immediately leaned towards him.

"Yes! Master Zhang, since you firmly believe that your apprentice has not practiced evil skills, why don't you stay?"

"Let's make things clear, so that everyone will not misunderstand my nephew when they go out in the future, right?"

...

Originally, Zhang Taihe felt that he had nothing to be ashamed of, and he didn't mind confronting the Yu family at the meeting, so he followed the president's words and rushed all the way here.

But just when he arrived at the place, he was disgusted by someone's tricks, and now he was forced to stay. He felt uncomfortable and really didn't want to do as they wished.

"Hmph! I don't care about it myself, but I don't want my two junior brothers and apprentice to stay here and be bullied," he said with a puff, raised his right hand and said, "Today, I, Zhang Taihe, swear here that from now on, I will leave the Taoist Association and have nothing to do with it. Heaven, earth, people and ghosts will bear witness to it."

Everyone didn't expect him to be so determined and actually swore a solemn oath. You must know that the oath of the Heavenly Master is not like ordinary people who say it casually. It will be bound by the mysterious power between heaven and earth. He will never be able to rejoin the association again.

"Master Zhang, why do you have to do this? We think our request is not unreasonable!"

"That's right, Master Zhang. It may just be a misunderstanding. Just clarify it."

...

At this time, everyone was soft-hearted and talked about hindsight. Zhang Taihe had not had a deep relationship with the people in the association for so many years, so he did not have too many waves in his heart. He smiled faintly and prepared to leave with a few people.

After all, everyone still had some feelings for the incense. They forced people to swear to leave the association on the spot. They felt a little uncomfortable and could not help but make way for them.

But Yu Hong was unwilling to let them go like this. He winked at the disciples in the sect, and more than a dozen people blocked their way again.

"Master Zhang, you can leave if you want, but he must stay," Yu Hong pointed at Yang Yan and said righteously, "Evil cultivation is very harmful. I can't let him leave like this before I prove that he is fine."

"You Yu family insists that my apprentice practices evil skills. Why don't you show some evidence?" Zhang Taihe was annoyed, "Just because he has a high level of cultivation, you have determined that he practices evil skills. What? Do you think that you Yu family members are capable, and others are naturally talented and better than you, so it's not okay?"

This was heard by the people present. After all, the Yu family was the one who was entangled in today's matter from beginning to end, but they didn't show any substantial evidence, and insisted that it was abnormal for the Maoshan junior to have a high level of cultivation.

"Master Yu, why don't you show them the evidence and convince them."

Yu Hong: "..."

If he had evidence, he would have shown it long ago, and there would be no need to talk nonsense with them here for so long.

However, it was his father who said that Zhang Yangyan was evil. He is still lying in bed, and his little daughter is sick because of him, so there must be something wrong with him.

Originally, he planned to put pressure on him at the meeting to convict him and force him to cure his daughter and father. Now it seems that this road is not feasible.

Yu Hong thought about it and said, "Zhang Yangyan practiced evil skills. My father said it himself after he was seriously injured by him. I don't have any evidence, but it's easy to prove. Evil skills can't be hidden as long as they are fought. Today, my Yu family will force his true form out!"

After saying that, he waved his hand to the disciples he brought with him, and they immediately attacked Yang Yan. He thought very well. All the people he brought today were masters of the family. Even if he and his father joined forces, they couldn't defeat him.

The boy's cultivation may be good, but according to what his father said, what really made him lose to him was the other things in his body. At that time, as long as he was forced to use it, he could say it was an evil method regardless of whether it was his own.

Then they can capture him openly, shutting up other people and leaving Zhang Taihe with no way to refute. Once he falls into their hands, they can naturally deal with him.

Zhang Taihe thought that he had no way to control them after leaving the Taoist Association? He was too naive. No matter when and where, he still had to speak with strength.

If Yang Yan could hear his voice, he would definitely nod and agree. Isn't that the truth? What's the use of talking? Only big fists are the hard truth.

When the Yu family came up, the master and the two uncles subconsciously blocked him and wrapped him in the middle.

Although he was very grateful for their intentions, Yang Yan still used his cleverness to push them out of the encirclement. Did these three people rely on the protective compass on their bodies, or did they forget it?

Have you ever thought about what he would become if they activated the protective shield and were squeezed in the middle?

Wiping off a non-existent sweat, Yang Yan thought a lot, but it did not affect his speed. He only saw the light flashing in the field, which made people dazzled and didn't know who won or lost.

However, when everything stopped, he saw the Yu family members lying on the ground and couldn't get up, and then looked at the young man standing proudly, the result was self-evident.

He actually won, fighting against more than a dozen people, and each of his opponents was not weak. What kind of concept is this?

When everyone was stunned, a huge push suddenly came from the crowd. Many people were caught off guard and almost fell down. Some people were unlucky and were pushed from opposite directions by two forces, and they were squeezed like sardines.

"Who, who, what are you squeezing?"

"Ouch! Just watching the excitement, there is no need to be so excited!"

For a while, there were complaints. Most people thought that someone was too excited to watch the excitement. Only a few people faced the huge transparent sphere that appeared out of thin air and knew what was going on.

"Who is the one who sneak attacks without honoring martial ethics?" Zhang Taihe and the other two were watching their apprentice killing people with great enthusiasm when the protective shield suddenly opened.

They immediately realized that someone was plotting against them, and they couldn't help but feel a little scared. Fortunately, Xiao Yan did this for them, otherwise they might have been killed without realizing it.

Yang Yan reacted quickly and rushed to the three of them as soon as the protective shield popped up. With a flash of light in his palm, he caught the attacker who was confused and didn't understand why the mission failed.

"Slave ghost seal!" He glanced at the flashing green seals on the foreheads of the three evil ghosts and sneered, "As far as I know, the Taoist Association had a clear rule twenty years ago that evil ghosts are not allowed to be enslaved. After being caught, their souls must be either dispersed or sent to reincarnation, right?"

"Why do these evil ghosts have slave seals on them?" He looked coldly at Yu Hong, who looked a little panicked, "Young Master Yu, right? Why don't you explain it to me? You keep saying that I practice evil skills, but in the end it's you Yu family members who use evil skills?"

Yu Hong's face was flustered for a moment, and then he quickly calmed down: "What a joke, what basis do you have to say that these evil ghosts are enslaved by our Yu family? Who knows if you Maoshan has provoked some enemies and took this opportunity to do something in secret?"
