Chapter 315 Explanation

Everyone who came back from the back mountains of Shushan entered the Shushan Hall. In the main hall, almost all the Shushan elders were already waiting.

There was not much nonsense. After everyone sat down, Qin Haotian spoke.

"Let's talk about the big news first. This time the Shu Ruins opened, unprecedented blood souls appeared. Those of us in Shu Mountain are quite unable to sit still!"

"Fortunately, the blood soul this time was finally killed. This is a blessing for Shushan and even for the people of the world! And in this matter, Emei head Gu Zheng and Ziyun Palace Xiao Xiao Elder Chen has played a key role. They are all models of righteousness in the world and are well-deserved demon-killing heroes! "

With Qin Haotian's praise, everyone's eyes fell on Gu Zheng and Chu Xiaochen. In such an environment, it was rare for Chu Xiaochen to smile in response to the gaze directed at him. Although Gu Zheng did the same thing, he already sneered in his heart.

As soon as he entered the hall, Gu Zheng had a feeling of being spied on. This was because some immortal cultivators were paying attention to him with their spiritual thoughts. Gu Zheng was not surprised by this. When he learned that the three supreme elders from Shushan had left this morning, he became aware of being spied on.

"If I were an ordinary cultivator and you were secretly observing me like this, I really wouldn't be able to detect it." Gu Zheng thought to himself.

"Now I would like to ask the ancient leader to give a detailed account of what happened in the crypt."

It was not surprising to Gu Zheng that Qin Haotian made such a request. Not only that, he also knew that in this hall, Qin Haotian would ask many questions that were not suitable to be asked here.

Gu Zheng said the 'facts' aside, and the hall fell into silence, with everyone's eyes looking at him in various ways.

"Ha, this is really something unprecedented in the Ruins of Shu! Abandoning allies and fleeing is still on such an important matter as hunting down blood souls! Sect Master Cai, how do you teach your disciples on weekdays? Several of them are dead. If If they don't die, even if the blood soul can be successfully killed this time, they will still be blamed and punished!"

Under normal circumstances, Qin Haotian kept his emotions and anger in plain sight, but today he slapped the table and stood up. His angry look was so frightening that the whole hall could hear a needle drop.

"Headmaster Qin's lesson is that after this period of time, I will definitely discipline my disciples!"

Facing Qin Haotian's anger, Cai Jin, the leader of the Spirit Sword Sect, quickly stood up and expressed his stance.

"Hmph, if you dare to do something like this again, the Lingjian Sect will never set foot in the Ruins of Shu again!" Qin Haotian glared at Cai Jin, and then glanced at everyone with a cold gaze: "The warning just now is not just for people. As for the Lingjian Sect, if you dare to imitate the Lingjian Sect in similar events in the future, you will all lose your qualifications to the Shu Ruins!"

"yes!"

Representatives from all sects responded collectively.

"Unprecedented blood souls appeared. Except for the Qingcheng Sect and the Situ Family, who did not participate in the pursuit, the Emei Sect, Ziyun Palace and Lingjian Sect all participated. This attitude of taking the overall situation into consideration is first of all commendable! Shushan has always been about rewards and punishments The distinct sect, the branch sect that hunted down the blood soul this time, deserves to be rewarded!”

"Reward all branch sects that hunt down the blood souls and exempt them from paying tribute to the Shu Ruins this time!"

After Qin Haotian finished speaking, people from the five major sects had expressions of joy and pain on their faces.

Every time the Shu Ruins are closed, the branch sects that enter it must pay tribute to Shu Mountain after coming out. This tribute is given to the resources in the Shu Ruins. The fewer people join a sect, the fewer resources it needs to pay tribute, and vice versa.

For such a reward, the sects that are happiest are naturally Emei and Lingjian Sect.

Emei was happy because this time they entered the Shu Ruins with four people, and the four people needed a lot of tribute resources, especially since Gu Zheng had also been to the Yunwu Valley! As long as you go to the sects in Yunwu Valley, you need to pay a certain amount of fairy fruits, and fairy fruits are also the only irreplaceable tribute resource!

The Lingjian Sect is happy because some of the resources they harvested from the Ruins of Shu this time were squeezed by Gu Zheng, and some were wasted with the death of Han Yi and others. What is left is really pitiful! But if the tribute was paid on a per-person basis, a total of five of them entered the Shu Ruins, and there would probably be very little left after paying tribute.

As for Ziyun Palace, they are happy, but they definitely cannot be compared with Emei and Lingjian Sect. Their happiness is relatively normal. And everyone in the Situ family and the Qingcheng sect had pain written all over their faces! Their people evaporated in the Ruins of Shu, and they did not participate in the hunt for the blood souls, so naturally there was no reward at all. However, they don't have to pay tribute. After all, they didn't get any resources from the Shu Ruins this time.

"Everyone's rewards have been mentioned, and there will naturally be personal rewards next. For the sects of the two demon-slayer heroes, each will be rewarded with a quota to enter the Hidden Sword Peak Spirit Sword Zone! This reward quota can be used recently, or It can be used during the next ten years of events!”

As soon as Qin Haotian finished speaking, the eyes of the other three branches of the sect immediately fell on Emei and Ziyun Palace with envy and hatred.

Being able to reach the Spirit Sword Zone of Hidden Sword Peak does not necessarily mean you will be able to harvest flying swords, but the qualification to enter the Spirit Sword Zone has always been particularly precious.

For branch sects, there are only two ways to obtain the qualifications to enter the Hidden Sword Peak Spirit Sword Zone.

The first one is that in the ranking event, the sect ranked first in the branch has the qualification to select one person to enter the Lingjian area of ​​Cangjian Peak, and this person must be one of the three people participating in the ranking competition. This means that through the ranking of the sects, only one branch sect every ten years can set foot in the Lingjian area.

The second one is that every time Shuxu opens, all the branch sects that pay the most tribute to Shushan after leaving Shuxu can also get a place to set foot in the Lingjian area! This means that if you want to get this place, you need to pay a lot of resources, especially when there are multiple sects who want this place, it is just like an auction.

For the quota of the Lingjian area, Gu Zheng is determined to get it, and he has already prepared to compete with resources. But plans can't keep up with changes. Such a reward is really good for him, which can save a lot of resources!

"Shushan has always been clear about rewards and punishments. I haven't finished talking about rewards, and this reward will be linked to punishments."

Qin Haotian glanced at Cai Jin, which immediately gave Cai Jin a very bad premonition. Sure enough, when Qin Haotian spoke again, Cai Jin fell into his chair with the rewards and punishments he mentioned.

"In view of the 'outstanding' performance of the disciples of the Lingjian Sect in Shuxu, I decided to deduct two places from the Lingjian Sect to enter Shuxu in the next session. If the Lingjian Sect ranks fourth in the next ranking event, they will lose the qualification to enter Shuxu in the next session! If the Lingjian Sect ranks last, while losing the qualification to enter Shuxu in the lower realm, the one place owed will be accumulated until the next Shuxu opens!"

"The two places deducted from the Lingjian Sect will be awarded to Emei Sect and Ziyun Palace! If the Lingjian Sect ranks fifth in the next session, then this place will be used by Emei Sect first."

A trip to Shuxu can give a sect the resources for cultivation in the next few years. For a large sect like the Lingjian Sect, not bringing out many resources this time is already a heavy blow. Now that two places have been deducted from the next ranking event, the strength of the Lingjian Sect is bound to decline greatly.

Regardless of how depressed the people of the Spirit Sword Sect were, Qin Haotian finally asked a question that was not appropriate in this situation.

"Master Gu, this time in Shuxu, in addition to killing the blood soul, many of your performances are surprising!"

"The decoction made from night-shining flowers, spring withered grass, sweet grass, purple flame flowers, silver frost leaves, blue star fruits, scorching sun flower vines, and gold and silver roots can really treat the loss of pure yin energy! How did you do this?"

"And in the cave, you used many kinds of medicinal materials and ingredients to make amber paste, which can actually make practitioners in the late fifth level more resistant to high temperatures! How did you do this?"

Qin Haotian was full of curiosity, and secretly exploring Gu Zheng's mind, and was also particularly "careful" at this time.

"To treat the loss of pure Yin Qi, I not only used those herbs, but I also put some ingredients in the soup. Since ancient times, medicine and food have been inseparable. If the food is used correctly, it can also cure diseases! I can use what Master Qin thinks is incredible to achieve incredible results. This can only be said that the method I used is correct. As the saying goes, everyone has his own specialty. How did I do it? What did Master Qin ask me to say?" Gu Zheng frowned and asked back.

Although the branch sects all came from Shushan, they have been separated after all. Although they also listen to Shushan's dispatch, they also have great freedom in many things.

If anyone from any branch sect asked what Qin Haotian asked, they have the right to answer or not. After all, this question itself is to explore other people's secrets.

On the surface, Gu Zheng gave an explanation, which can be regarded as giving face! If it wasn't for the Shushan master asking in person, if someone else asked the same question, Gu Zheng would have no need to give an explanation! After all, asking someone else's secret in public is something that can easily make people angry.

However, from the surface, Gu Zheng was also very disrespectful! He did give an explanation, but the explanation he gave was not much different from no explanation. The person asking the question was the head of Shushan, he was the representative of a sect, and he was also the boss of Emei Sect! And the boss's intention was obviously not to want such a specious answer.

Under normal circumstances, even if the boss was curious, he would not ask such a question in front of so many people. But since the boss has asked, the person being asked should usually answer honestly.

So, when Qin Haotian asked the question, no matter whether others heard something different from it, the eyes of Cai Jin, the leader of Lingjian Sect, Chu Li, the princess of Ziyun Palace, Situ Zhengliang, the head of Situ Family, and Pang Xin, the head of Qingcheng Sect, all flashed with incredible looks.

After Gu Zheng gave his answer, the helmsmen of the four major branches showed obvious changes in surprise or shock.

For a moment, the scene returned to the kind of silence where you could hear a pin drop.

Qin Haotian looked at Gu Zheng with a calm expression on his face, while Gu Zheng sat down directly after answering the question, seemingly unaware that his previous answer was inappropriate.

For Gu Zheng, when Qin Haotian asked those questions, his competition with the Shushan School had already begun!

Qin Haotian's words were inappropriate, but inappropriateness is also an attitude, and his attitude was also to see Gu Zheng's attitude.

For such a temptation, Gu Zheng did not choose to refuse, and naturally he would not choose to confess. His most suitable choice would be to give a relatively tactful explanation. However, Gu Zheng did not choose to be relatively tactful! Not only was his explanation perfunctory, he even chose to ask the question with a frown! How could such an attitude keep the other branches from being alarmed?

Similarly, Gu Zheng's attitude frightened Elder Wuyou, so much so that after he sat down, Elder Wuyou, who was sweating on his forehead, lightly poked his arm.

Gu Zheng didn't say anything, and turned to look at Elder Wuyou with unclear eyes, while Elder Wuyou signaled him with his eyes to look at Qin Haotian's face.

Gu Zheng then turned his head, looked at Qin Haotian's calm eyes and scratched his head: "Master Qin, is there something wrong with what I just said?"

Gu Zheng's eyes were very innocent, but his words were enough to scare people to death. The heads of the four major branches frowned so hard! Elder Wuyou frowned and closed his eyes.

"There's nothing wrong. You've already given an explanation. I'm just still a little curious, so I couldn't help but fantasize about the combination of ingredients and medicinal materials. However, the innocence of the ancient leader really made me a little bit confused. What a surprise!”

Qin Haotian smiled very happily, as if he was amused by a naughty boy.

The leaders of the four major branches still frowned. No matter what they were thinking in their minds, they definitely didn't believe Qin Haotian's talk about ancient struggle for innocence! After all, at the ranking event, Gu Zheng had already used his 'innocence' to let everyone know something about him.

The scene became a little quiet for a while, and Gu Zheng also let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

If you don't choose to answer Qin Haotian's question in a tactful manner, the ancient dispute is actually a gamble!

Not to mention the ranking event that made people suspicious, there are too many things that make people suspicious in the ancient competition in Shu Ruins! As for his various anomalies, Shushan just didn't ask, but once they did, it wouldn't be as simple as asking casually.

After coming out of Shu Ruins, when Gu Zheng learned that he was going to the main hall for a detailed discussion, he felt that Shushan might be 'interrogating' him.

Afterwards, Gu Zheng learned from Elder Wuyou that three of the four Supreme Elders of the Shushan Sect had actually left Shushan this morning!

Unless something major happens, the Supreme Elders of Shushan will not leave Shushan, let alone three of them as soon as they leave Shushan, leaving only the most hot-tempered Supreme Elder Han Songzi to guard the mountain! Moreover, with the Supreme Elder here, the person responsible for detailed discussions should not be the head of Shushan.

These doubts made Gu Zheng feel that all the abnormalities in the Shushan Sect were directed at him!

Then Gu Zheng asked about things in the sect, and Elder Wuyou's answer was that a few days after they entered the Shu Ruins, Shu Mountain was closed.

After getting this news, Gu Zheng concluded that all the doubts were aimed at him, and there was no reason for so many coincidences to happen together! Regarding the whole incident, he also had some speculations in his mind.

"During the ranking event, the 'Wind Speed ​​Food Cultivation' and even my performance attracted the attention of the Shushan Sect. On the surface, the Shushan Sect took an open-minded attitude towards reporting on these matters, but in fact, the Shushan Sect was very aggressive towards me and even Emei. investigation."

"Shushan's investigation must have alarmed Ouyang Hai! It was precisely because of Ouyang Hai's existence that it had such a great deterrent effect that Shushan had the 'reason' to seal the mountain to isolate the people who stayed here in Emei from the outside world. "

"I don't know what's going on outside. Naturally, I don't know that people from Shushan have gone to find Ouyang Hai, so I won't be very defensive! Then, facing their 'interrogation', I will probably Exposing the flaws will let them know what they want to know!”

"Ouyang Hai is a master of the realm of spirit transformation and virtual reality. There are only two existences of this level in the entire Shu Mountain! It is precisely because of Ouyang Hai that Qin Haotian will take part in their 'interrogation' of me this time. . If Qin Haotian can't figure out anything, the next person to appear is probably Han Songzi. "

"Han Songzi is a cultivator. He can use methods that cultivators do not have to know what he wants to know!"

"The Shushan Sect doesn't know that I have killed people from the Qingcheng Sect and the Situ family in the Shu Ruins. This is a capital crime! It is precisely because they don't know that I have committed a crime of death that they have not thought of doing anything about it. Only then did Han Songzi come to interrogate me for the second time." "

"Once Han Songzi interrogated me, the immortal cultivator's methods he used were already beyond the level. For Ouyang Hai, it was considered that he was bullying the younger ones! But because of Han Songzi's hot temper, Shushan You can shirk it and use it as a reason to treat me too much.”

With a guess in his mind, Gu Zheng naturally hoped that his guess was correct. Choosing to answer Qin Haotian's question unconventionally, Gu Zheng was actually betting on whether his guess was correct or not!

If his guess is correct, given the concerns about Ouyang Hai and the fact that he is still a demon-killing hero, the Shushan Sect will not particularly care about his soft knife this time when the incident will not develop in any bad way. After all, Ouyang Hai has made Emei sit firmly in a position higher than any other branch of the sect, and Shushan does not want to offend him easily.

But if his guess is incorrect, Shushan does not know the existence of Ouyang Hai at all, and all doubts are really coincidences. The visit of the immortal cultivator in the hall, including Qin Haotian's attitude, is just the boss's suspicion and his control. Way! Then things would be awkward. He used a soft knife to fight against the boss, but in public, the boss didn't embarrass him, but it was really a strange thing!

Fortunately, Gu Zheng was right in his bet, and his guess was correct, otherwise Qin Haotian would never have laughed it off.

However, Gu Zheng understood that the confrontation had just begun, Han Songzi had not yet appeared, and the whole matter had not ended yet.

The silence in the main hall did not last long. It was broken by Cai Jin, the leader of the Spirit Sword Sect.

"Master Qin, I have something to ask Master Gu."

Cai Jin made such a request after observing his words.

"Ask!" Qin Haotian nodded.

Cai Jin looked at Gu Zheng: "Master Gu, Han Yi escaped and died unjustly. I wonder if Master Gu saw their bodies along the way?"

"The sect master is the sect master, and the level of questioning is higher than that of the disciples!" Gu Zheng sneered and looked at Wei Xinlin who asked the same question in the Shu Ruins, and then looked at Cai Jin: "Han Yi and the other three I didn’t find his body.”

When Gu Zheng narrated what happened in the crypt later, he did not mention Han Yi and the others. He also deliberately gave the people of the Lingjian Sect a chance to ask questions.

Anyway, no matter what Gu Zheng said in his narration, the Lingjian Sect, which had suffered heavy losses, would definitely ask for more details, and Gu Zheng still needed to give another explanation anyway!

Since this is the common sense, Gu Zheng simply did not mention the traces of Han Yi and the others in his narration, and answered once and for all when someone with enough weight in the Lingjian Sect asked.

After hearing Gu Zheng's answer, Cai Jin, with complicated eyes, looked towards Ziyun Palace again: "Elder Xiaochen, didn't you see the bodies of Han Yi and the others?"

"No." Chu Xiaochen said coldly.

"Why."

Cai Jin sighed and sat down. Their trip to Shu Ruins was really a big loss.

Not many resources were brought back, three people died in one fell swoop, four immortal weapons were lost in one fell swoop, and they were severely punished by Shushan! Cai Jin already felt as if he had no face to face the ancestors of the Lingjian Sect.

"Head Qin, Situ's family head and I also have questions to ask." Pang Xin, the head of Qingcheng Sect, spoke.

During the month when Gu Zheng and others entered the Shu Ruins, the Qingcheng Sect and the Situ Family, both of whom had the same quota for the Shu Ruins, inevitably had some sympathy for each other. Now that all of their people have died in the Shu Ruins, they feel sympathy for each other and are almost like brothers!

"Ask." Qin Haotian nodded as usual.

"We would like to ask the head of Emei, have you seen Situ Mingguo and Zhao Xin in the Shu Ruins?" Pang Xin asked.

"I haven't seen it." Gu Zheng said lightly, and then when he looked at Pang Xin, his brows also wrinkled: "I am also very confused, why did Master Pang ask me such a question in the first place?"

"Because the orchards in Emei are relatively close to the orchards of the Qingcheng Sect and the Situ family, so I asked Master Gu first."

Pang Xin and Situ Zhengliang had suspected that Zhao Xin and Situ Mingguo had been killed! After all, they entered Shu Ruins to bring back resources for the sect, so it was impossible for them to take risks, and there was nothing too dangerous outside Shu Ruins. As long as they were not stupid, they would definitely not die in Shu Ruins.

Killing someone in Shu Ruins is a capital crime, and falsely accusing others of killing people in Shu Ruins will cause a lot of trouble! Because of this, even if Pang Xin had some guesses, he didn't dare to lead in that direction without evidence.

"Did Master Pang remember it wrong? The Situ family's orchard is the closest to the Emei orchard, but the Qingcheng sect's orchard is not close to the Emei sect's orchard!" Gu Zheng smiled slightly.

"Okay, I actually remembered wrongly. The orchard of Qingcheng Sect is closest to the orchard of Ziyun Palace!" Pang Xin borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and then looked towards Ziyun Palace: "Excuse me, Elder Xiaochen, what are you Ziyun Palace people doing?" Have the people from Yun Palace seen Zhao Xin and Situ Mingguo? "

Chu Xiaochen did not answer immediately, but stared at Pang Xin for a while before speaking: "You really want to know?"

"think!"

Pang Xin answered immediately. He saw pity in Chu Xiaochen's eyes. Maybe Zhao Xin died miserably!

"I have never met Zhao Xin, nor have I met Situ Mingguo. However, Ling Xue and the others have met Situ Mingguo. According to them, Situ Mingguo broke the rules and came to our Ziyun Palace orchard to seek cooperation. Said that he and Zhao Xin have formed an alliance, and told Ling Xue and the others He promised a generous reward, but was run away by Ling Xue. He left the orchard of Ziyun Palace and has not seen him since." Chu Xiaochen paused and then said to Ling Xue behind him: "Think of that time. Tell Master Pang what happened."

"yes."

Ling Xue responded, and then told the truth.

While Ling Xue was telling the story, Chu Li, the master of Ziyun Palace, glanced at Chu Xiaochen complainingly. As for the meaning in that glance, it is of course very clear. Both sects have already done this, so why do you have to say this kind of thing? Isn't this adding insult to injury and making others resentful?

Chu Xiaochen naturally knew that Chu Li was looking at her, but she just didn't look away. As far as Chu Xiaochen is concerned, she could have said nothing about these things, but who made Pang Xin and Situ Mingguo have a problem with Gu Zheng, and Gu Zheng was kind to her?

After hearing Ling Xue's words, there was a whisper of discussion in the hall for the first time. Situ Mingguo and Zhao Xin actually broke the rules, and they wanted to incite Ziyun Palace to break the rules together! Fortunately, they are dead, otherwise they would be in trouble this time.

"Impossible, how is this possible? Zhao Xin is not that kind of person!"

Pang Xin's forehead was sweating. Although Zhao Xin was dead, he was really afraid that Qingcheng Sect would also enjoy similar treatment because of the punishment suffered by Lingjian Sect.

"Fellow Daoists of Lingjian Sect, I wonder if Zhao Xin has come to lobby you?"

Situ Zhengliang couldn't sit still anymore, and looked at the people of Lingjian Sect with pleading eyes.

Based on Situ Zhengliang's understanding of Situ Mingguo, he felt that with Situ Mingguo's unyielding character, it was entirely possible that he would do such a thing that broke the rules when stimulated. Now that people from Ziyun Palace have accused him, judging from Qin Haotian's face, it is unlikely that this matter will be let go, unless people from Lingjian Sect can speak for them.

Situ Zhengliang's question had ulterior motives. Zhao Xin was a fairly steady person, so when he asked the people of the Spirit Sword Sect, he asked whether they had seen Zhao Xin, not whether they had seen Situ Mingguo! Based on his understanding of Situ Mingguo, if Situ Mingguo could not get the help of Ziyun Palace, he would most likely try his luck at the Spirit Sword Sect.

Looking at the pleading eyes of Situ Zhengliang and Pang Xin, Cai Jin really wanted to let them go once, after all, it was difficult to repay a debt of favor. However, after Han Yi and the others escaped from the battlefield, the current Spirit Sword Sect was no longer the same as before. Shushan was unhappy with them, which made him dare not do anything out of line at this time.

"Wei Xinlin, have you seen Zhao Xin? Answer truthfully." Cai Jin said.

"Master Situ, I didn't see Zhao Xin, but I saw Situ Mingguo. Just as Fellow Daoist Ling Xue said, Situ Mingguo did come to our Lingjian Sect's orchard to lobby! However, before Situ Mingguo could finish his story, he was scolded away by Team Leader Han!" Wei Xinlin said.

"This, this is not true, this is definitely not true!"

Situ Zhengliang argued in a low voice, and he and Cai Jin looked at Qin Haotian with pleading eyes, silently asking him to show some leniency.

"This must be true!" Yan Rui, a Shushan disciple who was seen by Gu Zheng as talkative, also spoke at this time: "The orchard of the Situ family is quite far from the orchard of the Lingjian Sect! But when we cleared the spirit beasts in the Shushan orchard and collectively searched for medicinal materials, we saw Situ Mingguo with an unhappy face near the Lingjian Sect orchard. I was suspicious at the time, why did he appear in that place? Now think about it, he must have just been scolded by the people of the Lingjian Sect!" "Let me add that Yan Rui only saw Situ Mingguo with an unhappy face after leaving the woods. But at that time, I was in the woods, climbing on the top of the tree to pick fruits, and I witnessed Situ Mingguo leaving the Lingjian Sect's orchard with my own eyes." Luo Xiao also spoke.

Yan Rui and Luo Xiao both have special identities in Shushan. Among the Shushan disciples who have entered Shuxu, only he and Luo Xiao dare to speak without asking for permission at this time.

Yan Rui would testify against Situ Mingguo because he seeks truth from facts. Luo Xiao pointed out Situ Mingguo because she heard the sarcastic teasing between Situ Mingguo and Zhao Xin when they first entered Shuxu! For this reason, she even called Situ Mingguo a villain when she passed by him.

"Ah!" Qin Haotian sighed and wiped his forehead with his hand: "This is really a troubled time! Why did all the scum appear in this opening of Shuxu?" Qin Haotian glanced at Situ Zhengliang and Pang Xin fiercely, and said again: "I have punished Master Cai for neglecting to discipline his disciples before, and now I naturally cannot favor you! However, from the perspective of the plot, the mistakes made by Situ Mingguo and Zhao Xin are lighter than those made by Han Yi and others, and the punishments for your two sects will naturally be different." Qin Haotian paused and said very sternly: "Qingcheng Sect and Situ Family, you two families didn't have to pay tribute this time, but now I want to punish you to pay tribute! Pay tribute resources according to the ratio of three people in a family, and hand them over to Shushan within one month!" "Yes." Situ Zhengliang and Pang Xin responded at the same time, and the two of them seemed to have lost their energy and spirit completely. This trip to Shuxu, their two families lost people and lost immortal tools, and they didn't gain anything. It was indeed a bit miserable to accept punishment. Qin Haotian stood up again after scanning all the branches again.

"The Shuxu trip is over. You can have a good rest after returning to the guest room."

"As for paying tribute to fight for the quota to set foot in the Spirit Sword District, it is still in accordance with the convention. Go to Elder Lin to pay tribute and register within two days."

"According to the convention, the closing banquet should be held at noon, but this session is different! Among our practitioners, there is Master Gu, a great chef. Elders Feng and Qin who have tasted his cooking are full of praise for his cooking skills!"

"So, I decided to let Master Gu cook the dishes for this banquet. The lunch will be changed to a dinner. I wonder if Master Gu has any objection?"

Looking at Qin Haotian's smiling eyes, Gu Zheng also smiled: "No objection at all. It is my honor to be able to cook such a banquet!"

The people in the hall left one after another. The divine thoughts that had been spying on Gu Zheng also stopped after he left the hall.

"Huh..." Gu Zheng let out a long breath. Although everything was as expected, the trip to the palace was not easy at all.

However, Gu Zheng also understood that the interrogation was not over yet. Han Songzi's interrogation would be in the afternoon at the latest. Some things that Qin Haotian did not ask about in Shuxu would definitely be asked by Han Songzi at that time.
