Chapter 733: Outer Disciples
Hearing Duan Qing mention Zhu Yan, Duan Qing couldn't help but think of the obese middle-aged man with a fat face deep in the Vientiane Palace.
Zhu Yan gave Duan Qing a good impression, and she felt very approachable.
Last time Xue Wanyun took him to Zhu Yan's place to receive the Shinto order.
Compared with more than a year ago, Feiyun Duan is more lively at this time. From time to time, you can see many young faces, presumably outer disciples who have recently entered the Shinto Sect.
With Xue Wanyun's peerless appearance, no matter where she goes, she is the center of attention, even within the Shinto Sect.
Duan Qing, who walks with Xue Wanyun, is destined to receive countless jealous looks.
Duan Qing has become accustomed to this.
As the most densely populated place in Feiyun Duan, the Wanxiang Palace was very busy at this time, and there was even a long queue.
The two waited in line for a long time before they were able to enter the Vientiane Palace and went straight to the depths of the palace.
Soon, the two came to the depths of the palace, in front of a vermilion door.
Before Xue Wanyun could knock on the door, Zhu Yan's voice came from inside: "There are Senior Nephew Xue and Senior Nephew Duan outside the door, come in quickly!"
Xue Wanyun was stunned for a moment, then smiled and pushed the door open.
"Meet Uncle Zhu!" As soon as he entered the door, Xue Wanyun obediently bowed to Zhu Yan who was sitting on the futon.
"Greetings to Uncle Zhu!" Duan Qing also saluted along with Xue Wanyun very wisely.
"No need to be so polite." Zhu Yan narrowed her eyes and waved her hand.
"Tell me, little girl Xue, why do you want to come to Uncle Zhu this time to see me?"
"Uncle Zhu, why don't I come to visit you if you have nothing to do?" Xue Wanyun said playfully.
"Haha, come on, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Uncle, I don't know you are a girl!" Zhu Yan joked with a smile.
Xue Wanyun's face didn't turn red, her heart didn't beat, and she didn't feel embarrassed at all.
"Since you have said this, Uncle Master, then Wanyun will just tell you."
"It's like this. Junior Brother Duan has an old friend who participated in our sect's initiation meeting not long ago. I want you to help me find him, uncle!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yan turned her gaze to Duan Qing: "It's just a small matter. I wonder who is the surname of Master Nephew Duan's old friend?"
"Uncle Zhu, my nephew has two old friends. They should have participated in this initiation meeting. They are named Xiao Sheng and Xuan Jing respectively!" Duan Qing did not hesitate and directly reported the names of Xiao Sheng and Xuan Jing.
"Master Nephew Duan, wait a minute." After Zhu Yan said that, he took out a jade book and looked at it carefully.
Hearing Duan Qing say there were two people, Xue Wanyun glanced at Duan Qing strangely.
She had always thought that the only person Duan Qing was looking for was Xiao Sheng.
But she didn't care much about it.
She remembered that Duan Qing had said before that Xiao Sheng had been escorted to the Shinto Sect first.
I think that Xuanjing was the one who escorted Xiao Sheng.
While Xue Wanyun was thinking, Zhu Yan seemed to have the result.
"That's right, the Xiao Sheng that Junior Nephew Duan mentioned did indeed participate in this entrance meeting, and successfully passed the entrance test and became an outer disciple of our sect." Zhu Yan looked at the jade book and nodded slightly.
Hearing this, Duan Qing felt relieved in his heart, but at the same time he felt something was wrong, and quickly asked: "May I ask Master Zhu, does he have the name Xuanjing?"
Zhu Yan shook her head: "After my inspection, there is no one named Xuanjing!"
Duan Qing frowned when he heard this and fell into silence.
According to what Xue Wanyun said before, as long as you participate in the Shinto Sect's introductory meeting, whether you succeed or not, Zhu Yan will have a record here.
And now Zhu Yan has no record about Xuan Jing, which means that Xuan Jing did not participate in this Shinto Sect's induction meeting at all.
Why does this happen!
Since Sheng'er had participated in the initiation conference, why didn't Xuan Jing participate?
He had talked with Xuan Jing before, and Xuan Jing had indeed expressed his intention to join the Shinto Sect.
Logically speaking, Xuanjing could not let go of such a rare opportunity.
Could it be that something unexpected happened on the way to Shinto Sect?
Thinking of this, Duan Qing frowned even more.
Seeing this, Xue Wanyun vaguely guessed what might have happened, but she didn't understand the situation and didn't know what to say for a while.
At this time, Duan Qing came to his senses and asked Zhu Yan: "Uncle Zhu, I wonder where Xiao Sheng is now?"
Now that Sheng'er has successfully become an outer disciple of the Shinto Sect, as long as he finds Sheng'er, he will naturally know Xuanjing's situation.
"It should be at the mouth of the Tianhe River at the foot of Qingxu Mountain. The outer disciples usually live here." Zhu Yan said smoothly without thinking.
"Thank you so much, Uncle Zhu Yan. My nephew will take his leave first!"
Knowing where Sheng'er was, Duan Qing immediately said goodbye to Zhu Yan, and together with Xue Wanyun, hurriedly left the Vientiane Palace and flew towards the foot of the mountain.
The Tianhe River originates from Qingxu Mountain and is formed from countless snows on the top of Qingxu Mountain. It passes around the mountain from the top of the mountain and forms a river bend called Tianhe Mouth to the east of the foot of Qingxu Mountain.
The residence of the outer disciples of the Shinto Sect was built at the mouth of the Tianhe River.
The two of them flew at full speed and soon arrived at the river bend at the foot of Qingxu Mountain.
I saw a large group of buildings located at the bend of the mouth of the Tianhe River with a relatively flat terrain, about ten miles in diameter.
Further east of the building complex is the Dongshan Gate of the Shinto Sect.
At this time, one could see people coming in and out of the outer disciples' camp at Tianhekou from time to time, either flying towards the flying clouds on the mountainside, or flying towards the mountain gate to the east.
The level of excitement is not much different from that of Feiyun Duan.
Thinking of Sheng'er and Xuan Jing, Duan Qing stopped a young man who had only transcended mortal cultivation as soon as he landed in the outer disciples' residence.
"Junior brother, do you know a girl named Xiao Sheng?"
The young man noticed Xue Wanyun next to Duan Qing, his eyes were dull for a while, and then he shook his head shyly and ran away.
Duan Qing shook his head helplessly, and then continued to find a few people to inquire about Sheng'er's whereabouts.
But to his disappointment, no one had heard of Sheng'er's name.
This made Duan Qing very depressed.
If he had known this earlier, he would have left a sound transmission jade slip mark with Sheng'er first, and he would not have to look for it blindly like now.
Speaking of which, it was also because he had no concept in this regard that he subconsciously ignored the effectiveness of the sound transmission jade slip.
Since he got the sound transmission jade slip in Jinxuan Sect, the marks inside have never exceeded five fingers.
Now, there are only the marks of Su Yutong, Lin Ziyu, and Xue Wanyun in his sound transmission jade slip.
Su Yutong's mark has been there since he got the sound transmission jade slip. Lin Ziyu was in Tuling Peak. In order to facilitate contact, she took the initiative to find Duan Qing to leave marks with each other.
As for Xue Wanyun, it was during the more than one year in the wasteland of Yunzhou that Xue Wanyun took the initiative to propose it.
Of course, in addition to these three people, his second senior brother Wu Da and Lan Tian of Wuxiang Sect also left marks with him.
But now both of them are dead, and the marks have naturally dissipated.
For others, even his good friends Zuo Wanqiu and Yu Fan, he never thought of leaving marks with each other on the sound transmission jade slip.
