Chapter 385 Verbal Test
After the disciples entered the sect, the others in the sect were immediately shocked. How could their faces be so old after returning from the secret realm?
What happened in the secret realm?
But looking at everyone's solemn expressions, even some familiar disciples just stopped to watch and did not come forward to ask.
As everyone entered the inner mountain of Canglan Sect, there were almost no people on the road, which made them feel more relaxed.
The caves where everyone lived were scattered in the inner mountains, and soon people began to say goodbye.
Before everyone left, they all asked Li Zhi so that they could go and listen to the sermon the next time he preached at the outer gate.
Li Zhi was a little absent-minded, and everyone asked him for a long time before he realized what he was doing.
"Oh, let's preach, let's do it in the early morning ten days later!"
After the time was finalized, the number of people walking together began to decrease.
Soon, only Li Zhi and Pei Xuanzhen were left.
The cave they live in is located in the deepest part of Canglan Sect, with the best environment and excellent locations. They enjoy the same treatment as the elders.
As soon as Li Zhi entered the sect, his expression was not right, he frowned and was thinking about something in his mind.
As soon as he returned to the mountain gate, Li Zhi had an unexplained feeling. The cause and effect of his body seemed to have suddenly changed in some big way.
Li Zhi is not like Jiang You. Jiang You has too many causes and effects that are too big, too heavy, and intertwined. As a result, Jiang You's perception of his own causes and effects is not as keen as Li Zhi's.
If the cause and effect on Jiang You is compared to a deep pool, the undercurrent in the pool is surging, and it is difficult to see changes on the surface.
But Li Zhi is different. He himself is a clear spring, and the cause and effect on his body are all chosen and voluntarily carried by Li Zhi.
The origin is clear, and he can sense it immediately if there is a change.
Therefore, after returning to the sect, the sudden change of cause and effect made Li Zhi feel uneasy, and he kept thinking about what was going on.
Suddenly, Pei Xuanzhen, who was walking beside him, said, "Senior Brother Li, since just now, you have looked solemn and worried, but what's the big deal?"
Li Zhi was thinking in his mind and walked slowly. Pei Xuanzhen didn't have to follow his footsteps and return to the cave in advance.
But for some reason, the woman still followed Li Zhi and walked slowly in the mountains.
At this moment, he suddenly asked.
"Um?"
Li Zhi thought about it for a long time, but didn't think of the problem. When he heard the sound, he looked up and realized that Pei Xuanzhen was the only one left beside him.
"Oh, it's nothing important. Thank you for your concern, senior sister!"
"oh!"
Pei Xuanzhen heard Li Zhi's always lukewarm words and responded in a low voice, but he felt a sense of loss in his heart out of thin air.
It came out of nowhere, making Pei Xuanzhen's voice thin and weak, revealing his grievance.
Li Zhi raised his eyebrows, "Isn't my response too cold? The relationship has already been established, but now this answer is not appropriate, and it feels like rejecting Qianli?"
Li Zhi was confused by Pei Xuanzhen's voice and reflected in his mind whether his tone was too harsh.
He quickly added: "It's just some cultivation matters, nothing to worry about, senior sister!"
Li Zhi tried to soften his tone and smiled slightly at Pei Xuanzhen.
Who would have known that with this smile, Pei Xuanzhen's fair and delicate neck suddenly became flushed, and it spread all the way to his face, and even his earlobes turned red.
Pei Xuanzhen also noticed his changes and quickly lowered his head.
"oh!"
This time, the ending sounds upward.
Li Zhi was shocked by Pei Xuanzhen's change, "No way, this girl may have fallen in love with me, no, no, I'm overthinking it!"
Li Zhi came from Blue Star and wanted to find Bai Yujing and return to Blue Star.
In his eyes, the people in this world are just passers-by. They only meet briefly in the journey of life. They will soon separate the two worlds and never see each other again.
Therefore, he always has a slight sense of alienation from the people in this world. Everything he does is goal-oriented and does not want to create unnecessary connections and causes and effects.
Pei Xuanzhen had better not be interested in him. He was overthinking it. If he was really interested, Li Zhi wouldn't accept it.
He has no idea of creating love between children in this world.
Not even if the target is Pei Xuanzhen!
After Pei Xuanzhen responded, the two continued walking. No one spoke for a while, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"Um, Senior Brother Li, I didn't know where your cave is before. I will visit it when I have time in the future."
"Just over there at Qingjing Peak."
"Since when has there been a pure peak in the mountain?"
"It was the former Qingyun Peak. I moved there and changed the name."
"oh!"
After that, Pei Xuanzhen repeatedly opened the topic, but Li Zhi always kept it to the point and did not expand further. After a few sentences, he stopped.
They all end with Pei Xuanzhen saying "Oh!"
It made the atmosphere even more awkward.
Li Zhi felt uncomfortable under Pei Xuanzhen's awkward conversation and silently quickened his pace.
"Senior sister, I remember correctly that your cave is over there!"
"oh!"
Pei Xuanzhen originally followed Li Zhi with his head down and his toes, but before he knew it, he had reached the fork.
He was still following Li Zhi and was reminded by Li Zhi that he reacted.
"Then, Senior Brother Li, let's say goodbye!"
"Senior Sister Pei, goodbye!"
After Li Zhi saluted and said goodbye, he hurried back to his Qingjing Peak. There was one more thing to worry about in his mind.
On the contrary, Pei Xuanzhen walked slowly on the road leading to his cave with his hands behind his back and his feet, using his feet to step on the specks of light cast from the tree crowns on the ground.
Canglan Sect Master walked out of the void, looked at Li Zhi, and then at Pei Xuanzhen's back.
The gentle spring breeze is like the eyes of a lover.
Canglan Sect Master smiled, feeling very happy in his heart. He also put his hands on his back and walked slowly towards Pei Xuanzhen's cave.
"Sect Master, why are you here?"
As soon as Pei Xuanzhen arrived at the cave, a visitor came to the door.
"What did you call me?"
"Master?"
"Not this either!"
"grandfather!"
"Haha, yes, I am here to visit my granddaughter as your grandfather."
Canglan Sect Master squinted his eyes and looked up and down at Pei Xuanzhen, who had a mature look on his face.
Pei Xuanzhen didn't know why. He thought he came because of the power of decay. He said with a cold face: "Grandpa, are you here to resolve the power of decay in your body? Why did you come to resolve it in private? What will happen to others?"
"Hahaha, don't you want to ask, what should Li Zhi do?"
When Canglan Sect Master mentioned the name Li Zhi, Pei Xuanzhen's long eyelashes trembled slightly.
"Senior Brother Li? Of course Senior Brother Li is included. If I am the only one who can resolve it, then I would rather not do it!"
Canglan Sect Leader looked at Pei Xuanzhen with a smile, and the look in his eyes made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Then he laughed loudly, "You are wrong. I am not here because of your declining power, I have other things to do!"
"Anything else?"
"Well, Xuanzhen, your cultivation is not bad anymore, and you are old enough to talk about marriage. Now"
"Talk about marriage?"
When Pei Xuanzhen heard a word, his face turned pale, and he interrupted the sect leader with evil eyes.
Anyway, he himself said that he came as a grandfather, so now there is no Canglan Sect Master.
"I am devoted to cultivation and have no such intention. When my father talked about this matter before, grandpa, didn't you still support me? Why are you bringing up the old matter again now?"
The sect leader sighed, "Xuanzhen, our family's situation is different. You were born into this family, and you have enjoyed benefits that others cannot achieve, and you also bear responsibilities that others do not have to bear.
Before, when you were young and your cultivation was low, I was afraid of delaying your cultivation, so I blocked it for you. Now that you are about to enter the realm of cultivation, you should consider these things! "
"Grandpa! I don't want to get married!"
Pei Xuanzhen actually hugged the sect master's arm and shook it from side to side, acting coquettishly.
When facing his grandfather, there was also no elder sister of the Canglan Sect who was the beauty of Bingshan, but a little granddaughter.
It is also common for granddaughters to act coquettishly for their grandfathers, but only Canglan Sect Master has the honor to see Pei Xuanzhen's appearance in this world.
In the past, as long as Pei Xuanzhen acted coquettishly, his grandfather would not disapprove him.
She originally had the same thing this time, but if she really couldn't do it, she could at least delay it for some time.
But who knows, Canglan Sect Leader was unmoved, "Don't you want to ask first who the marriage partner is? Maybe you won't accept it!"
"Don't think about it!" Pei Xuanzhen saw that this move was useless, so he immediately threw the sect leader's arm and his face became cold again.
"I, Pei Xuanzhen, will not get married no matter what. If I want to get married, you can do it yourself! Let my father find me another daughter-in-law!"
"Isn't it okay if the other party is Li Zhi?"
A smile appeared on Canglan Sect Master's face, and finally his plan was revealed!
"ah?"
Pei Xuanzhen was stunned at the moment, and his red mouth opened involuntarily.
But looking at the grandfather in front of him, he didn't look like he was joking, so he fell silent immediately.
"Li Zhi is the true senior brother of our Canglan Sect. Li Zhi, would you like to become a Taoist couple with you?"
Pei Xuanzhen still didn't speak and suddenly turned around.
"You girl, what do you mean if you don't speak? If you don't speak, I'll take it as your acquiescence!"
The sect master knew his granddaughter's temperament, which was arrogant and thin-skinned. It was very difficult for her to say something personally.
If you take the initiative to give yourself a step, things will be much easier to handle.
"Didn't I say that no one can do it, and I don't want a marriage!"
"No, the marriage is your responsibility and your obligation. You can't avoid it. Now you have to give an answer to this matter. Li Zhi, are you not satisfied? It's okay. There are others, but you It’s decided now!”
"If this is the case, then I have nothing to say!"
Pei Xuanzhen turned around and did not see the sect leader's words being cold, but the smile on his face did not diminish by half.
"Okay, I understand what you mean!"
When Pei Xuanzhen heard this, he became panicked.
"What do you mean, you know what I mean, I don't even know myself, okay!"
She quickly turned around to say something, but her grandfather had already left and disappeared.
At that moment, she looked panicked, gritted her teeth, and chased after him.
On Li Zhi's side, after saying goodbye to Pei Xuanzhen, he was thinking about the cause and effect of himself for a while, and worried about Pei Xuanzhen for a while.
He, Li Zhi, is not a dullard. There is definitely something wrong with Pei Xuanzhen's behavior just now.
He was already thinking about how to politely refuse.
Waiting for him to return to his pure cave home worriedly.
I couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that my pure mountain still cannot remain pure for a long time!"
When I walked to the door of the cave, I saw a person standing in front of me, with his back to me. It was the great elder I had just met before.
"Great Elder!"
"Um!"
The great elder turned around, looked at Li Zhi up and down, and was about to speak, but Li Zhi spoke first.
"Great Elder, what I promised before has been completed. The two forces of the clan and the poor family have been gathered together by me. But there is a hidden trouble. The disciple has thought about it and it is difficult to deal with it with his own strength. I have to ask the great elder!"
"Oh? What's the matter that even you, Li Zhi, can't solve?"
The great elder's words were a bit joking. This change was also a new change after Li Zhi lectured him and the sect leader alone.
Li Zhi didn't take it seriously and directly expressed his worries about Pei Xuanzhen.
"You Li Zhi, you really have your eyes higher than the sky. What kind of person is Pei Xuan? How arrogant are you to think that someone is interested in you, and you want me to help you reject it? Do you know that you yourself What are you talking about?"
"Disciple naturally knows it and is confident in his own judgment. Moreover, he did not ask the great elder to refuse for the disciple. Instead, he expressed to Senior Sister Pei in a subtle and euphemistic way that I am wholeheartedly pursuing the Dao and have nothing else in my heart!"
The great elder came here to test Li Zhi's attitude towards Pei Xuanzhen.
Unexpectedly, before he could speak, he was overtaken by Li Zhi, who directly expressed his refusal.
Although the elder had always thought highly of Li Zhi, he didn't think that Pei Xuan's real beauty would tempt Li Zhi.
But until now, when faced with what he heard with his own ears, Li Zhi expressed his fear of avoiding Pei Xuanzhen, and was also surprised for a while.
Even if there is no intention of loving children, it won’t be like this!
"Do you know Pei Xuanzhen's identity?"
"Sister Canglan Sect, the flagship figure of the clan!"
"She was born in the Pei family. The Pei family has produced three Canglan sect masters, and this generation of sect masters is also named Pei, who is her grandfather!"
"Senior Sister Pei really comes from a distinguished family. Only the sect leader can train Senior Sister Pei to be so outstanding. Li Zhi really admires her!"
"You know this, don't you have any other ideas? If you become a Taoist couple with Pei Xuanzhen, you will have wealth and status at your fingertips. The Pei family will vigorously train you. All the resources you have to cultivate to the Dongxuan realm will be sufficient for you, and you will be the Canglan Sect in the future. The position of sect leader is not impossible!”
"These are just external things. Li Zhi seeks the Tao with all his heart and has no other desires!"
When the great elder heard this, he felt a sense of admiration in his heart.
Faced with the temptation to reach the sky in one step, and a charming and stunningly beautiful woman, Li Zhi didn't even hesitate.
Perhaps this is a sign that Li Zhidao's heart is stronger than mine!
"knew!"
The great elder had achieved his goal, so he stopped talking and disappeared as soon as he took a step.
The sect master was drinking tea in a bamboo forest, and the great elder walked out of the void.
"How is the situation over there with Li Zhi?"
"Trouble!" The great elder said Li Zhi's original words, "In my opinion, this son, who is dedicated to seeking the truth, may not be a good match for Xuan Zhen!"
"Hahaha, no, it's precisely because of this that Xuanzhen is a good couple. Don't worry about this. I have a clever plan!" (End of Chapter)
