Chapter 372: Meeting an Old Friend
Lu Qianye's heart skipped a beat when she saw that the fifth elder actually wanted to go there in person.
Now, we are in big trouble.
The fifth elder has a very bad temper. If he encounters a disciple who does not obey the rules, he will immediately slap him severely!
When Lu Qianye thought of that scene, he quickly closed his eyes and forced himself not to think about it.
At the same time, I also prayed for Ye Chen from the bottom of my heart.
The fifth elder came all the way to the door of Ye Chen's courtyard. He originally wanted to kick in the door, but when he thought about it carefully, Xiao Yuan'er also lived here. If he behaved too irritably, he would leave a bad impression on Xiao Yuan'er. impression.
So, the fifth elder patiently reached out and knocked on the door.
Bang bang bang.
It's said to be knocking on the door, but it's actually the same as smashing the door.
Squeak.
The door opened and Wang Dacai stood behind the door.
"Boss Wang?"
The fifth elder was very surprised when he saw Wang Dacai.
He thought he was dazzled, and after staring carefully for a while, he realized that he was not wrong.
"It turns out to be Xiao Wu."
Wang Dacai scratched his head and smiled slightly awkwardly.
In the past, when he was still in Lingjian Sect, the five elders were inferior to him in terms of status.
The two also had a relationship back then.
"Boss Wang, why are you here?"
The fifth elder was very stunned, with a gleam of joy of reunion in his eyes.
Wang Dacai coughed twice and said, "I am here with Mr. Ye and Miss Yuan'er this time, and I am responsible for their food, clothing and daily life."
"You, go take care of them?"
The Fifth Elder was stunned for a while, and seemed to have caught something, "Have you taken refuge with the Third Young Master?"
"What kind of people do you want to take refuge in?"
Wang Dacai showed a wry smile, "Like me, if I don't choose a backer, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the sect in my life, right? You don't understand the gap in my heart these years. If I can regain the power I once had, I will pay for it." I’m willing to do whatever it takes!”
Soon, Wang Dacai remembered some past events, "Xiao Wu, after I leave, will my replacement be..."
The fifth elder was silent for a long time, then nodded and said, "It is Zheng Suning. In fact, you should also understand that apart from him, no one in the entire Lingjian Sect can take your place."
"Zheng Suning..."
Wang Dacai's eyes were full of hatred.
This former deputy had single-handedly framed him, causing him to be assigned to the Xiaoyue Dynasty, and he also successfully took his place and took the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce.
Although more than two hundred years have passed since the incident, Wang Dacai still can't help but be angry whenever he thinks of it.
"Xiao Wu, come in and talk."
Wang Dacai sighed and invited the fifth elder to enter the courtyard.
The two sat in the pavilion, making tea and discussing Taoism.
"Boss Wang, your tea-making skills are still so good, but I haven't tasted this one in more than two hundred years."
The fifth elder took a sip of tea and slowly exhaled the aroma.
Then, he leaned back on the armchair, feeling a little lost in thought.
The news that Wang Dacai was demoted was not spread out. In addition, he felt embarrassed and did not tell other friends about his departure to the Xiaoyue Dynasty. Many people did not know where Wang Dacai had gone.
The fifth elder also looked for him several times, but in the end they all returned without success.
"Life is so fast, two hundred years will pass in the blink of an eye."
Wang Dacai smiled bitterly, "In these years, although I have made some achievements in Xiaoyue Dynasty, I can't let go of the feeling of having power. It seems that I am still a common person after all."
"Who can escape a common word in this world?"
The fifth elder smiled and expressed a lot of emotion.
The two drank tea and reminisced about old times.
Before I knew it, three hours had passed.
In the sword sharpening field, all the new disciples stayed there like fools.
Originally, everyone still respected the rules and did not dare to talk randomly, but as time passed, they became more and more unable to hold back.
What's going on?
Seeing that the first class was coming to an end, none of the elders came!
Even some new disciples thought they had miscalculated the time.
"Quiet, quiet!"
Lu Qianye stood up bravely and maintained order.
Once or twice was fine, but as time went on, the new disciples began to refuse to admit it.
"Senior Brother Lu, what's going on?"
"Yes, isn't it about the opening of classes? We arrived here early, but the sun is almost setting, and there is still no intention of teaching. Are you kidding us?"
"If I had known, I would have gone back to practice."
"I've been sitting here like a fool."
Those disciples complained in low voices, but of course they did not dare to go too far.
Lu Qianye was helpless. This time, it was the fifth elder who was responsible for teaching the new disciples. However, the fifth elder didn't come back for a long time, and he didn't know what happened.
In desperation, Lu Qianye could only find someone in person.
The courtyard door was open, and Lu Qianye was shocked when he walked in.
The fifth elder and the servant were drinking in the pavilion, one cup at a time and one cup at a time, drinking enthusiastically.
When they got up, they were still holding hands with each other, their faces flushed, like two drunken lunatics.
Lu Qianye was dumbfounded.
The fifth elder has always been serious in speech and never drinks alcohol.
Where have you seen him look like this?
"Five...Fifth Elder..."
Lu Qianye stepped forward tremblingly and shouted in a low voice.
"Go away, can't you see I'm drinking?"
The fifth elder glared, his face flushed, and his mouth smelled of alcohol.
"I……"
Lu Qianye took a deep breath and showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "Fifth Elder, have you forgotten that you came here to ask Junior Brother Ye and Junior Sister Yuan'er to go to the sword sharpening field to attend the class, and more than three hours have passed, and the original class is about to end!"
Crack.
The wine glass in the Fifth Elder's hand fell to the ground.
He was stunned for a long time, and then stretched out his hand to rub his temple, and then he remembered the purpose of coming here.
Damn it, I forgot the business after drinking!
"Damn it."
The Fifth Elder was upset and cursed.
I don't know who he was scolding.
At this moment, the door of the room opened, and Ye Chen walked out with an excited face.
Although he was tortured to death before, the refining over the past two days has improved him a lot.
That wisp of chaotic energy, with its inherent terror, made Ye Chen raise two levels in one breath, reaching five times of life-threatening.
This cultivation speed, no matter where it is placed, can be called a lightning speed!
Ye Chen was startled when he saw the Fifth Elder.
The Fifth Elder was also startled.
The two looked at each other.
"Excuse me, who is this senior?"
Ye Chen bowed his hands. He knew that the other party must be of extraordinary status, so there was some respect in his tone.
"Are you Ye Chen?"
The Fifth Elder smiled, "Tsk tsk, five times of killing, it is really good to have such a realm at this age, but..."
He paused deliberately at the last two words.
A bad premonition surged in Ye Chen's heart.
Whoosh!
The Fifth Elder rushed to Ye Chen and slapped him.
Ye Chen's pupils shrank, and his sense of crisis rose sharply!
