The Wheel-Turning Master

Jiang Xingchi's words meant that he would take Shoutian Pavilion as the leader, and he also protected Zhou Huishan's old people, which really made everyone look up to him.

Not to mention that there was some sincerity in his words, anyway, Jiang Xingchi came on behalf of Xiang Wuhui, and he was the face of Qiaoshan. Once he said it, he must do it.

"With the help of fellow Taoists, why worry about not accomplishing great things?" Wu Muchun was very satisfied.

The Yuanyings also spoke one after another, saying that they would contribute manpower and effort, but they were not as sincere as Jiang Xingchi who swore and swore.

However, Yuan Jie of Yubi Mountain and Meng Qinghe of Yinshan Mountain were afraid that Shoutian Pavilion would cause trouble, so they worked very hard.

"Xie Qingxuan has always been taciturn, scheming, and well versed in formations and layouts." Yubishan Yuan Jie first sold out his old friend, "When I went south in the early years, I saw that he was definitely not a good guy, so I drove him out!"

Zhu Zhou Huishan's old enemies did not say anything, but they sneered in their hearts: It is obvious that you, the second batch of people going south, want to keep Xie Qingxuan, but he doesn't want to, otherwise how could you drive away Xie Qingxuan who is proficient in formations and a newly promoted Yuanying?

The Yuanyings expressed their sincerity and repeatedly stated that they would never join forces with Xie Qingxuan. Wumuchun became even happier and offered a reward, saying that if you made great efforts in capturing and killing Xie Qingxuan, you can meet the Jade Pot Patriarch in person and get his guidance.

Among the people present, except for Wumuchun of Shoutian Pavilion, only Yubishan Yuan Jie and Yinshan Meng Qinghe had the honor of meeting the Jade Lake Patriarch, and others had never even smelled him.

All the Yuanyings were interested. If they could get guidance from Huashen, it would not be impossible to make further progress in the future. Even if there was no hope for the Great Dao, it would be great to be able to get familiar faces or get some rewards.

Jiang Xingchi was particularly interested and asked in a low voice what kind of etiquette he should follow if he met Huashen Patriarch.

Lin Bai said nothing beside him and was very respectful. However, he always thought that Yuanying high cultivators were like immortals, but now he saw that they were just a makeshift team, making a lot of noise.

Of course, Lin Bai did not dare to look down on them. The cultivators who could reach the Yuanying realm were all the geniuses of the past, and they were definitely not ordinary people. If they wanted to do something, they must have a far-reaching plan. Even a straightforward person like Aunt Gu would sit down and think about it, not to mention these old men.

After a while, someone finally remembered the business and asked where Xie Qingxuan was hiding.

Lin Bai was also very curious. Since Wumuchun had planted the evidence on Xie Qingxuan, he was obviously sure that he could catch Xie Qingxuan. Otherwise, he would have said it but not caught the person. It was still the people of Shoutian Pavilion who lost.

"I already know what Xie Qingxuan did. I will report to the head brother when I go back. I will catch Xie Qingxuan and apologize soon!" Wumuchun stroked his beard, very confident.

Since he said so, it was not good for everyone to ask more questions. Anyway, just wait.

Lin Bai just found it interesting. Wumuchun promised a reward but did not say where Xie Qingxuan was. Otherwise, if the Yuanying was determined to escape, it would be difficult to stop him.

Although everyone did not want to really help, it was too perfunctory.

"Could it be that he didn't expect anything, didn't know that I was the one who took action, and didn't know where Xie Qingxuan was. He was just fooling people?" Lin Bai kept complaining in his heart, but his face became more respectful.

After a while of commotion, Wumuchun led all the Yuanyings down the flying boat and landed on the frozen Xiaowu Mountain.

The nine Yuanyings sighed at the power of the God of Transformation, and then dispersed.

The Yuanyings went back to their own homes, and Wumuchun went to Yinshan Mountain to sit for a while. Yuan Jie and Meng Qinghe accompanied him, and Jiang Xingchi was always beside him.

"Brother Wumu, go first, I will be there later." Jiang Xingchi had been in seclusion before, and came out because of Xia Fenyi's matter. He had not yet visited Xuyunmen, Tianyan Sword Sect and Yuanying Shi Clan.

Although they had just met, Jiang Xingchi came to Daiqiao Mountain after all, so he had to climb the mountain to visit him in person.

Wumuchun seemed to like Jiang Xingchi very much, praised a few nonsense words of benevolence, then turned his feather clothes and went north.

Jiang Xingchi finally got some time, but he talked to Yuan Jie and Meng Qinghe for half a day, and then summoned Cheng Yuanli and Lin Bai.

Arriving at a cave, there was no one around, Jiang Xingchi was alone, holding the chess pieces and looking at the chessboard.

Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli came forward to pay their respects.

Jiang Xingchi first asked a few questions about cultivation, and then reminded Lin Bai and Cheng Yuanli to emulate the wise men in the north and firmly seek the truth.

After a while of nonsense, Jiang Xingchi finally put down the chess piece, looked at Lin Bai, and said: "Before I went into seclusion, I asked you two to practice well, but what did you do? What you did, did you consider the face of Qiaoshan?"

Cheng Yuanli looked at Lin Bai with pity, but didn't dare to ask for mercy.

"Junior knows his mistake, and he won't dare to do it again." Lin Bai honestly admitted his mistake, and took out the black piece given by Jiang Xingchi, saying: "Senior has come out of seclusion, this thing should be returned."

"Keep it, there will always be a time to use it." Jiang Xingchi didn't even look at it.

Lin Bai put it away obediently again.

Seeing that Jiang Xingchi seemed to have let Lin Bai go, Cheng Yuanli quickly changed the subject, "Senior, since we are going to help Shoutian Pavilion find Xie Qingxuan, should we report back to the master?"

"I can make the decision on this matter." Jiang Xingchi picked up another chess piece, "Yuanying has a long life span, so naturally they have a lot of experience, but their temperament is determined early. Some are deep-minded, and some are amiable. But after all, they are limited to the place they are in and the situation they encounter, so there is no need to look up to them too much."

It is unclear whether this is talking about Xie Qingxuan or someone else.

There was silence in the cave for a while. Jiang Xingchi looked at the chessboard for a while, and suddenly asked: "Whose daughter is the woman who is having an affair with?"

"..." Lin Bai leaned down lower and said: "Bi Huanqiu of Jiuzha Mountain, I met her in the secret realm of Jiuzha Mountain before."

"Lin Zhuanlun is really good at it." Jiang Xingchi sneered, "When you get to Shoutian Pavilion, you should pay more attention. The disciples of the Huashen family are always prettier than the disciples of the Yuanying family!"

Lin Bai didn't dare to say anything.

"You have an unstable temperament and are greedy for lust. How can you achieve great things?" Jiang Xingchi was very displeased. "I let you go with Cheng Yuanli because he is a sincere gentleman. I hope you can meet the wise and think about him, but if you don't want to, you still won't change your nature!"

Lin Bai leaned down even lower, and Cheng Yuanli also lowered his head and remained silent.

"Go and bring Bi Huanqiu to me." Jiang Xingchi said.

"Yes." Lin Bai quickly bowed and left.

Cheng Yuanli also came out and held Lin Bai's arm, "Brother Zhuan Lun, Senior Jiang is right, you should restrain yourself from now on. There are still sects to cover you elsewhere, but if you are like this in Shouting Pavilion, I'm afraid yes……"

"What senior brother said is that I will never make any mistakes again." Lin Bai sighed.

"That's not necessary. The yin and yang of men and women are ultimately the principles of the Tao." Cheng Yuanli is a gentleman after all. "It's just that we need to exercise restraint and not be greedy for it."

After talking nonsense for a while, Lin Bai parted with Cheng Yuanli and went to look for Bi Huanqiu alone.

After several days of meditation, Bi Huanqiu has recovered.

"Is it still peaceful outside?" Bi Huanqiu asked after seeing Lin Bai impose a restraint.

"It's nothing serious. Xia Fenyi is dead. Senior Wu Muchun of Shouting Pavilion personally judged the yin and yang, and deduced that it was Xie Qingxuan, an old man from Zhou Huishan, who did it." Lin Bai said.

"Deduction..." Bi Huanqiu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Xie Qingxuan is so bold?"

Then he sighed again, "Oh, there is going to be chaos in the Northland again."

"Who says it's not the case!" Lin Bai also agreed with Bi Huanqiu's words.

"But it's none of your business after all." Bi Huanqiu breathed a sigh of relief and leaned closer to Lin Bai, "I've been thinking about you a lot these past two days."

Lin Bai pushed her away and said seriously, "Senior Jiang wants to see you."

"Ah?" Bi Huanqiu was stunned for a moment and quickly straightened his clothes. "See me?" She was a little timid.

"Senior Jiang already knew about you and me, and reprimanded me for misbehaving. I also know that you are from Jiuzhe Mountain, so I wanted to meet you," Lin Bai said.

Bi Huanqiu thought for a moment and then nodded.

The two of them did not dare to delay, so they left Changshengfang and returned to Yinbi Mountain, where they came to Jiang Xingchi's guest cave.

"Jiuzheshan Bi Huanqiu, the junior, pays homage to the senior." Bi Huanqiu saluted respectfully, lowering his head and not daring to say anything.

Jiang Xingchi was still playing chess alone. He glanced at Bi Huanqiu and said, "Jiuzhe Mountain is still thousands of miles southwest of Qiaoshan Mountain. What can you gain from going north alone?"

Bi Huanqiu lowered his head and replied: "Seeing the customs and geography, knowing many comrades, I can barely make some progress."

"Good." Jiang Xingchi smiled and said no more.

Lin Bai and Bi Huanqiu bowed and left.

Back at the guest house, Lin Bai and Bi Huanqiu stopped talking again.

Lin Bai did not leave, closed his eyes and came to the stone plate.

The traces of Aunt Gu and Xiuxiu are still there, but there are layers of colorful lights outside the mist.

After sitting quietly for a while to calm his mind, Lin Bai opened his eyes.

Bi Huanqiu knelt in front of him with a curious look on his face.

"What are you looking at?" Lin Bai asked.

"If it weren't for you..." Bi Huanqiu waved his sleeves and put up a restraint, feeling a little lonely and a little scared, and said: "I didn't know that Senior Wumu was proficient in the method of yin and yang deduction... How did he deduce it to Xie Qingxuan?"

"It's natural that Taoism can communicate with God." Lin Bai smiled.

Bi Huanqiu was timid and still said nothing. She didn't know why Wu Muchun believed that Xie Qingxuan was the murderer, but she knew that this time she almost dragged Lin Bai and even Qiaoshan into trouble.

"It's all over. You are the descendant of Jiuzhe Mountain, and I am Patriarch Gu's favorite general. You and I still have a long way to go in the future." Lin Bai did not explain much.

After hearing Gu Qingshui's name, Bi Huanqiu guessed that Lin Bai had Gu Qingshui's secret treasure as a basis. She didn't ask any more questions and just moved forward.

"Please touch me. My body is very hot. I don't know what's wrong." Bi Huanqiu said.

She was extra docile and helpful this time.

Lin Bai got a lot of benefits, and it was obvious that Bi Huanqiu had no intention of stopping, so he quickly left.

"You should meditate here and don't go out."

Lin Bai closed the door and went out to see Cheng Yuanli waiting.

"Junior brother, beware of sex." Cheng Yuanli grabbed Lin Bai's sleeve and held on, "From now on, you can come to my room to practice!"

"..." He was kind-hearted, and Lin Bai had no choice but to accept it.

After chatting for a few more words, Lin Bai went to look for Meng Yiwei.

The people from Yubishan haven't left yet, and Yuan Qiye is chatting with Meng Yiwei, both of whom look preoccupied.

After Xia Fenyi's incident, although Yuan Qiye came early, he had no chance to say a few words to Lin Bai.

"Are you still writing Journey to the North?" Yuan Qiye asked with a smile.

"This is natural." Lin Bai replied.

Yuan Qiye smiled, said nothing more, nodded and left.

"Senior Jiang wants to see Bi Huanqiu, and I have brought her back." Lin Bai looked at Meng Yiwei.

Meng Yiwei didn't think much about it and just said: "Senior Jiang saw that you provoked too many people, so I have to take care of it myself."

"Senior Jiang has always supported those who are underachieving. I have asked him to remove the secret talisman chill from Bi Huanqiu's body." Lin Bai said with a smile.

"Senior Jiang is kind and generous." Meng Yiwei smiled and asked in a low voice: "Are you really related to the legitimate daughter of Senior Jiang's family?"

"One of his legitimate daughters is my apprentice." Lin Bai said frankly.

"You...you Qiaoshan even have a master and apprentice...I thought the people of Hehuan Sect and Jiuyin Mountain didn't care about these, but I didn't expect that you Qiaoshan also..." Meng Yiwei was quite shocked.

"What did you think of?" Lin Bai had a headache.

"It turns out that there is another Jiang family member." Meng Yiwei smiled, and then his face was gloomy again, saying: "Now that Shoutian Pavilion has an accident, the perpetrators are still my Zhouhuishan old people. Although Senior Wumu didn't pursue it, in the end..."

She looked at Lin Bai, and even pleaded a little, saying: "It is difficult for our Zhouhuishan to return to its former heyday, and there has been no new Yuanying. Then we can only join Qiaoshan."

"I will definitely speak well of it in front of Ancestor Gu." Lin Bai said.

"Although Yinshan has declined, the inheritance is still there..." Meng Yiwei was very pitiful, "I just hope that it will be more stable in the future."

Lin Bai didn't say much. It seems that the group of Zhouhuishan old people in Yinshan are indeed less ambitious than those in Yubishan and Wuqueshan, but they still have some foundation.

Moreover, Lin Bai also knew that Yinshan Mountain had several stoves, such as Meng Yiwei who followed him to find the way to Gu Qingshui, and Zhang Qing who followed the way of the Jiang family.

In addition to Qiaoshan, it is said that people were sent to inquire about the way of Yunxia Sect and Jiuyin Mountain. Obviously, they did not intend to hang themselves on Qiaoshan, an old crooked tree.

This is their survival move, and Lin Bai understands it very well. Even if the three groups of old people from Zhouhui Mountain gathered together and fought for a territory, it was expected.

"Senior sister, I will go to Shoutian Pavilion with Senior Jiang soon. I wonder what the temperaments of the seniors there are?"

Lin Bai knows a lot about the old people of Zhouhui Mountain, but when it comes to the Yuanying of Shoutian Pavilion, he knows very little.

Now there are four Yuanyings in Shoutian Pavilion, three of whom are from the Northern Wilderness, and the other is an old person from Zhouhui Mountain.

Wumuchun was also a follower of the Northern Wasteland. Lin Bai did not find out any useful information. He only knew that he was kind and did not care much about the affairs of the sect.

"I was born after the migration to the south, so I don't know much about these things." Meng Yiwei did not hide anything and immediately told everything he knew.

Xia Yufeng, the head of Shoutian Pavilion, had the greatest power and was always strong. He was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. He was the leader of the group that went south.

There was another Nascent Soul named Yu Liushan, who was in the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm and was said to have the potential to go one step further. Moreover, he was on good terms with Xia Yufeng and had the same domineering temperament.

As for Wumuchun, he was much kinder, but he was also very cruel when it came to cheating people. It was rumored that the method of squeezing out the old people of Zhou Huishan was invented by this person.

In addition to these three followers of the Northern Wasteland, the other one was Huo Taiping, the old Nascent Soul of Zhou Huishan. This person was mediocre and submissive, without the character of a high-level Nascent Soul cultivator, and was always despised by the old people of Zhou Huishan who went south.

After listening to Meng Yiwei's talk for a long time, seeing that he didn't know much, Lin Bai stopped asking.

Another day later, Jiang Xingchi took Cheng Yuanli and Lin Bai to visit Xuyunmen and other three families.

It took only five or six days to go around and say some old clichés. Then Jiang Xingchi took Lin Bai, Cheng Yuanli, and Bi Huanqiu all the way north to Shoutian Pavilion.
