Chapter 230 Law Enforcement Hall
"This story starts with my disciple going deep into the Dragon Fish Sea to search for Blood Rain Dragon Breath Grass that is over 3,000 years old for my master..."
Xia Daoming pondered for a moment and told Mo Yongzhi about the Blood Rain Dragon Breath Grass mission, how he and Mo Yongzhi formed a team, how they went deep into the Dragon Fish Sea, how the True Dragon Blood Pearl was unearthed, how he and his companions met Luo Mu outside the forbidden killing zone, how they met Luo Qian when they came out, and how Luo Qian punished Shao Shiyu.
During this period, Xia Daoming only slightly exaggerated the hardships and dangers of his search for the Blood Rain Dragon Breath Grass, and the rest of the story was described in a plain way without any exaggeration.
In fact, it was not necessary.
"The True Dragon Blood Pearl is related to the training of Jindan disciples, which is indeed a matter of great importance to the sect. Luo Mu, as a true disciple, wants to temporarily recruit you to serve. It can be said that he is abusing his power for personal gain, or it can be said that he is doing it for the sect. Because she is the Jindan seed of the sect, training her is actually to strengthen the strength of the sect.
And you are not wrong to continue to accept her recruitment on the grounds that you have not received the sect's mission order and the stipulated time has arrived. After all, you have indeed not received the sect's mission, and you have helped Luo Mu, which can be regarded as doing your best.
Originally, this matter should have ended after you came out, and there is no right or wrong. But Luo Qian and his daughter insisted on punishing Shao Shiyu and Mo Yongzhi to face the wall in the Black Wind Cave, and they also wanted to hold you accountable, which is really too much." Zuo Dongge was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then slowly spoke.
"Then is the master ready to stand up for the disciple?" Xia Daoming said with his eyes slightly brightened when he heard this.
"Nonsense! If you want to do something wrong, I naturally don't bother to care about you! But others are bullying you regardless of their status. As a master, can I just sit back and watch?" Zuo Dongge said with a glare.
"Master, you are very clear about right and wrong. You are a true role model. I admire you very much!" Xia Daoming stood up and bowed.
"Don't give me that, kid. You just said that your own disciple is worthless, aren't you mocking me for not being worthy of being a role model?" Zuo Dongge sneered, not buying Xia Daoming's words at all.
"Master, how can you be so narrow-minded with your disciples! Besides, you are the ancestor of the Golden Core, you are unfathomable, it is normal for your disciples to make mistakes, don't you think?" Xia Daoming said shamelessly.
Zuo Dongge was speechless after being stunned by Xia Daoming.
It was the first time that he heard that the profoundness of the Jindan Patriarch could be understood in this way.
"Forget it, you are a slippery-tongued kid. If I continue to talk to you, I will be in the wrong. Let's go to the Law Enforcement Hall first." After a while, Zuo Dongge said helplessly.
However, he was helpless, and sometimes he couldn't help getting angry when looking at the disciple in front of him.
But deep in his heart, Zuo Dongge still liked this kid a little.
He was courageous, loyal, responsible, and talented in cultivation at a young age.
Zuo Dongge felt that this kid was a bit like himself when he was young, but unfortunately his talent was in physical training, not in Qi training.
"Yes, let's go to the Law Enforcement Hall first. But Master, I want to correct you. All the friends I know think that I am honest and upright, and I speak in a clear and reasonable way. I am definitely not slippery-tongued." Xia Daoming said the last part with a serious face.
Zuo Dongge curled his lips, too lazy to pay attention, stomped his feet, and a cloud lifted him up and flew quickly towards the main peak of Qingyuan.
"Hey, Master, wait for me!" Xia Daoming shouted as he raised a gust of wind and ran wildly. In a blink of an eye, he caught up with the auspicious cloud and jumped on it.
"Tsk tsk, Master, your flying magic weapon is good. When you stand on it, you look like a master flying in the clouds." Xia Daoming praised immediately after jumping on the auspicious cloud.
"You are fast." Zuo Dongge glanced at Xia Daoming and was quite surprised.
"That's right, don't you see whose disciple you are!" Xia Daoming blurted out.
Zuo Dongge turned around silently, his old face flushed.
——
Qingyuan Main Peak.
Law Enforcement Hall, Zuo Hall.
Deputy Hall Master Chi Shijian looked at Luo Qian, who had a gloomy face, and said with an embarrassed look: "Brother Luo, Xia Daoming is the direct disciple of Brother Zuo. This matter is not easy to handle!"
"What is difficult to handle? When he was still an outer disciple, he was arrogant and proud, and did not listen to the instructions of the true disciples. Once he was promoted to the direct disciple of the Golden Core Elder, he became even worse, and even beat my registered disciples and two outer consul disciples. If such a domineering disciple is not punished and allowed to indulge, where is the sect rule?" Luo Qian said coldly.
"Yes, Uncle Chi, you have never seen this Xia Daoming, it is really abominable. A mere Qi Refining disciple is domineering and looks down on everyone.
If he is not taught a lesson in advance and let him remember it for a long time, I don’t know what he will become in the future. You also know that Elder Zuo doesn’t care much about things, so my father personally came forward to ask about this matter, and it is also for Xia Daoming’s good." Luo Mu echoed on the side.
"Qi-refining disciple? You said he is a Qi-refining disciple, then how could he beat Jia Shaoxuan and two outer sect consul disciples? The outer sect consul disciples are at least in the ninth-grade Qi-refining realm, not to mention that Jia Shaoxuan is a foundation-building cultivator." Chi Shijian frowned upon hearing this, with a look of doubt on his face.
Luo Qian glared at Jia Shaoxuan with hatred upon hearing this, and said with an unpleasant face: "That kid also practiced martial arts, perfected Qi refining, and became a martial arts grandmaster. The two combined into one, at close range, he suddenly exploded, and his magic weapon was a top-level magic weapon. My useless disciple was careless and underestimated the enemy, so he was beaten by him instead."
When Jia Shaoxuan went to Luo Qian to report the situation, he did not dare to say that he was too incompetent. He still found some reasons to downplay Xia Daoming's bravery, which led to Luo Qian's explanation.
Even so, when Jia Shaoxuan accompanied Luo Qian to the Law Enforcement Hall, he was criticized and scolded for being incompetent.
"Really? That's also very impressive!" Chi Shijian said.
Chi Shijian's words made Jia Shaoxuan lower his head in shame, and Luo Qian's face became a little gloomy.
This unpromising evil disciple!
"Brother Luo, how about this, I will summon Xia Daoming first, see what he says, and then make a decision." Seeing that Luo Qian's face was getting uglier, Chi Shijian had to say.
"Okay." Luo Qian nodded, his face eased a little.
Soon Chi Shijian used the Mingjiantai of the Law Enforcement Hall to send a message to Xia Daoming.
Every token of the personal disciple of the Jindan elder is recorded in the sect.
Zuo Dongge's is no exception.
"Eh!" Xia Daoming, who was standing on the auspicious cloud, felt something and took out the token.
A line of words appeared on it.
"Xia Daoming, come to the left hall of the Law Enforcement Hall to see me, Chi Shijian."
"Luo Qian is really going backwards as he grows older. He really showed up in person for such a small matter!" Zuo Dongge glanced at the words on the token, and understood it in his heart, and a chill emanated from his body.
"I knew when I met Elder Luo in Youhe Valley that day that this person is narrow-minded. If he beats the younger one, he will definitely come to the older one." Xia Daoming said.
"Luo Qian is a Jindan elder. He is still very loyal to the sect. I can say such things, but you can't." Zuo Dongge said in a deep voice.
"Disciple understands, and I won't say it again next time!" Xia Daoming said with a stern face. Not only did he not feel unhappy in his heart, but he was in awe of Zuo Dongge.
No matter how weird Zuo Dongge's personality is, just based on his words, it can be seen that he is an open-minded gentleman.
Zuo Dongge was a little surprised and a little relieved to see Xia Daoming accept it with a stern face.
The auspicious cloud obviously accelerated its speed, and in a blink of an eye it flew over the left hall of the Law Enforcement Hall.
In the left hall, almost at the same time, Chi Shijian and Luo Qian showed a touch of surprise on their faces.
"Senior Brother Zuo actually came in person, I have to go out to greet him." Chi Shijian stood up and said.
Luo Qian's face changed from cloudy to bright, but in the end he did not stand up.
"Senior Brother Zuo, you are a rare guest, what brings you here?" Chi Shijian greeted him out of the hall, and was slightly startled when he saw Zuo Dongge, who was sloppy and unruly, with messy beard and hair, and then greeted him with a smile.
"It is the master's fault that the apprentice is not taught. You, the deputy hall master, have summoned me, this useless disciple, how can I not come?" Zuo Dongge said coldly.
"Haha, Senior Brother Zuo, you are too serious. I just invited him to understand the situation. If there is any decision, I will definitely let you know." Chi Shijian's expression was slightly unnatural.
He did not expect that Zuo Dongge, who had been indifferent for many years and had a strange temperament, would attach so much importance to this disciple and actually accompany him.
If he had known this earlier, he would definitely have said hello in advance.
Now he is suspected of joining forces with Luo Qian to bully his disciples.
"Daoming, haven't you met your uncle Chi yet?" Zuo Dongge did not comment on Chi Shijian's explanation, and waved to Xia Daoming who was following behind him.
"Disciple Xia Daoming greets Uncle Chi!" Xia Daoming stepped forward and bowed to Chi Shijian.
"You are Xia Daoming!" Chi Shijian glanced at Xia Daoming with a sharp gaze, nodded, and then turned to Zuo Dongge again, saying: "Brother Zuo, let's go in, Brother Luo and his daughter Luo Mu, disciple Jia Shaoxuan are all inside."
"Luo Qian is really tough!" Zuo Dongge said with a cold smile.
"Ahem!" Chi Shijian coughed dryly and did not dare to answer.
Xia Daoming followed the two of them, watching Zuo Dongge showing off his edge. Although Chi Shijian was the deputy hall master of the Law Enforcement Hall and a Jindan cultivator, he couldn't stand up in front of Zuo Dongge, and couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up to his master.
The master is indeed worthy of being the most promising genius disciple of Qingyuan Sect who once had the greatest hope of becoming a Yuanying ancestor.
Even though he was seriously injured and his strength was greatly reduced, he was still full of style!
Entering the Zuo Hall.
The hall was spacious and the atmosphere was solemn.
Luo Qian finally stood up when he saw Chi Shijian coming in with Zuo Dongge.
"Zuo Dongge, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you doing recently?" Luo Qian bowed.
"Luo Qian, if I remember correctly, you used to call me Brother Zuo!" Zuo Dongge raised his eyebrows slightly and said coldly.
"Why bring up the past? To be honest, not long ago, your disciple had to call me, a good-for-nothing disciple, your uncle. But now? Not only do you not call me uncle anymore, you even beat him up." Luo Qian's face changed several times, and finally he looked gloomy and said.
