Chapter 71 Rare Guest

Everyone knows the truth.

Gu Qingfeng also knew what Huo De was worried about.

It’s just that if you understand, you will understand, and if you know, you will know.

Understanding doesn't mean he will tolerate it.

Knowing that doesn't mean he will restrain himself.

A person's temper may settle over time and gradually converge with increasing experience, but a person's character will never change, no matter if you practice for a hundred years or a thousand years, no matter how much you have experienced Things, their nature, never change.

What's more, Gu Qingfeng cultivated a great freedom of mind.

His mood determines his attitude.

As the saying goes, character determines destiny. He didn't need to say what kind of person Gu Qingfeng was. Huo De also knew it clearly. Otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed back in a hurry.

Perhaps because he was afraid of making Gu Qingfeng unhappy, Huo De did not complain or criticize anymore, but pretended to be the third grandson, but he was pretending to be the grandson, but Gu Qingfeng was too lazy to pretend to be the uncle, patted his butt, and went back to sleep. , leaving Huode alone there depressed.

But soon, something even more depressing happened. The Li family came in large numbers, angrily asking him to hand over Gu Qingfeng.

Many members of the Li family hold important positions in the Yunxia Sect, and the Li family is a large family in Qingyang. Many people in the sect usually fawn over them. The most important thing is that almost everyone knows about the Li family and Elder Jin De. The relationship is good.

Now that Li Ziheng was seriously injured by a disciple, his cultivation was completely destroyed. Not to mention cultivation, whether he could wake up in the future was a question. The Li family was naturally very angry and came with a large team of people to demand him.

However, it is useless to have eggs.

Mr. Huode was sitting in Lingyin Garden drinking a small drink. No matter how noisy the Li family was, he would never talk to each other.

You say that I rely on my status as the great elder and ignore the sect rules. It’s okay that I protect my disciples. If I don’t cooperate with you, I won’t cooperate with you.

Although the Li family was a big family in the Qingyang realm, they were helpless in the face of Huo De's arrogance.

Although Huode has been practicing for seven or eight hundred years, he has no family background, no background, and no power. Apart from being a great elder in the Yunxia Sect, he seems to have no real power.

However, there is one thing about Huode that others cannot match.

This is also the reason why the Li family dare not touch him.

That's Huode's connections.

The old man has many friends, and they come from all three religions and schools. From the elders of the sect to the small businessmen and hawkers, there is no one he does not know. In addition, the old man has been in Qingyang for seven or eight hundred years, and he dare not say that he has friends everywhere. But it's definitely not much different. If the old man says hello, at least half of the famous old guys from Qingyang will come.

As for the old man asking them to participate in the Yunxia Sect, these people may not be able to participate due to various reasons, but if the old man says that he has been bullied, these friends will definitely kill him immediately without saying a word.

To be honest, the Yunxia Sect can survive the catastrophe, thanks to the fact that the old man has many friends and a wide network of contacts.

Therefore, no matter how angry or angry the Li family is, if they want to use Huode, they have to carefully weigh the consequences.

Later, the Li family became so popular that they invited Elder Jin De and Elder Mu De over, but it was still useless.

If you don’t pay, you don’t pay.

No one can come.

The stalemate lasted for more than an hour or two, and finally the Li family could only leave angrily.

In the evening, a rare visitor came to Lingyin Garden, at least that's what Huode thought.

The person who came was none other than his senior brother, Elder Rende.

The reason Huo De said he was a rare visitor was because Elder Ren De rarely came to see him in the back mountain. The last time he came was more than ten years ago.

The two are brothers, but their relationship is not very good. It can't be said to be bad, but it can't be said to be good either.

In the eyes of Ren De, Huo De is an old and dishonest guy, and an extremely irresponsible elder. In the past, he rarely stayed in the sect. He occasionally stayed in the sect for a few days in a year and then left. , has never managed any affairs of the sect, so he has always disliked Huo De.

In the eyes of Ren De, Huo De is like this.

In Huode's eyes, Rende is a pedantic, ignorant, indifferent old stubborn who only knows how to break the rules and doesn't know how to adapt.

In Huode's words, the two of them could not urinate in the same pot since they were children, and they had nothing in common.

Now that Ren De came to Lingyin Garden in the back mountain for the first time, Huo De naturally couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks, but what he didn't expect was that Ren De just smiled and didn't have much reaction.

This surprised Huo De. In his impression, Rende couldn't take a joke. Every time he made a joke, Rende would look very serious. What's going on today...

What Huo De didn't expect was that Ren De not only greeted him with a smile, but also asked him to find a quiet place to catch up on old times.

Huo De was completely confused at this time and didn't understand what kind of medicine Ren De was selling in this gourd.

Of course, Huo De did not refuse. Although he was very unhappy with Ren De, he was just unhappy. One thing he had to admit was that Ren De had been managing the sect for so many years since the head retreated, and he He also knew in his heart that if Ren De was not in charge of the overall situation, Jin De and Shui De would have divided Yunxia among them.

Huode knew that Rende didn't drink, so he didn't prepare anything. He just found a quiet place to listen to what he had to say.

As soon as Rende sat down, he really started to reminisce about the old days between their senior brothers. When he talked about the catastrophe, Rende sighed: "If it weren't for you, junior brother...we would... The Yunxia Sect may not be able to hold on..."

"Okay, don't put a high hat on us. I can't bear it. I mean, senior brother, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"After the catastrophe, the head brother went into seclusion for nearly a hundred years. Although I have been in charge of the Yunxia Sect all these years, but... haha."

Rende never drinks, but this time he poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and said helplessly: "Junior Brother Jinde has been secretly wooing some families, and has supported many people in both the inner and outer sects. , I know that he has been spying on the position of the leader, as well as Junior Brother Shui De, and I also know that there is Jiuhua Alliance behind him. As for Junior Brother Mu De, let’s not talk about it, he has already worn the same pants as Jin De.”

Huo De didn't respond, just listened silently, curious about what Ren De wanted to say.

"The head brother has been in seclusion. We all know that he may...not be able to get through this hurdle. I can guess that Jin De and Shuide must also know that they have been cultivating disciples for these years and are waiting for It’s time to compete for the position of master.”

Huo De pondered for a moment and said, "Senior brother, if you have anything to say, just say it directly and don't beat around the bush."

"Okay, junior brother, let me ask you something, is Gu Qingfeng the one you brought to compete for the position of commander-in-chief?"

Um?

Ren De sighed softly in his heart, but did not respond in time. Instead, he looked at Ren De, considered it for a while, and then said: "So what if it is, so what if it is not."

"If my guess is good, it should be." Elder Ren De looked very serious and serious. Huo De, who was opposite him, was about to speak, but was interrupted by him.

"Gu Qingfeng is not an ordinary person. Although I don't know who he is, but when I first saw him during the inner sect assessment, I already knew that he was not an ordinary person. He does not have the vigor of a young man. He is not surprised when things happen, and he is not arrogant in his behavior. He is not impatient, and his words and deeds may seem frivolous and exaggerated, but in fact he is casual and free-spirited.”

"Are you overthinking it?" Huo De smiled sheepishly, but there was murmuring in his heart.

"Junior brother, don't get me wrong. I don't ask you who Gu Qingfeng is, nor his identity. I believe that since you have come to him, you must trust him. I just want to know if he has the strength to compete for the position of governor. This issue is important to me."

"Oh? What do you say?"

"If so, I will help you."

Ren De's words were really beyond Huo De's expectations, because in his impression, Ren De was a completely neutral faction. Although he did not join forces with Jin De and Shui De, he would not stop him. As for who will do it in the future? He doesn't care about being the leader of the Yunxia Sect, as long as the Yunxia Sect can be passed down.

"I was wrong before. I always thought that as long as the Yunxia Sect can be passed on, anyone can be the leader... But as Jin De and Shuide have been fighting openly and secretly, I have gradually discovered their selfish motives... If in the future If Yunxia Sect really falls into the hands of these two, I'm afraid... So, I just want to ask this matter clearly this time, whether Gu Qingfeng has the strength to compete for the position of leader."

"What if there is..."

"If there is any, I will withstand the pressure and arrange for him to be promoted to the direct disciple of the Nine Halls as soon as possible..."
