Chapter 3592

Xiao Hua smiled and flung his sleeve. He didn't accept the invitation and instead sent it to the martial artist. He said solemnly, "I am a Dao Sect cultivator. I don't want to make friends with Confucian cultivators.

Moreover, the Jade Pavilion Conference will be held in three days. If I pay a visit to the Star Lord Palace before that, I'm afraid it will cause a misunderstanding. "

That martial artist stared blankly for a moment. Looking at the invitation card in front of him, he waved his hand and the invitation card flew back to Xiao Hua. He said, "My Palace Master only appreciates Fellow Immortal. This trip is just for tea and conversation. It has nothing to do with the Jade Pavilion Conference."

"Fellow Immortal, you're wrong."

Xiao Hua waved his hand and returned the invitation. He said with a smile, "The ancients said that if you don't accept a melon field, you won't accept a plum tree. Since our hearts are magnanimous, why do we have to do those things that make others suspicious?"

"Fellow Immortal, you're wrong."

The martial artist waved his hand for the third time and returned the invitation to Xiao Hua. He said, "Since our hearts are magnanimous, why do we have to be afraid of other people's suspicions?

We just have to do what we think is right.

How can other people know? "

Xiao Hua stared at the invitation in front of him. He didn't hesitate. He raised his head and said, "There is no scale in other people's eyes, but there is a scale in this old man's heart. There is no weight in other people's hands, but there is a weight in heaven and earth. This old man isn't afraid of other people's suspicions, but this old man's inner demons … this old man is afraid!"

With that, Xiao Hua waved his hand. He didn't touch the invitation and flew up again. He said in a cold voice, "This matter ends here. There can be a first and second time in this world, but there is absolutely no third and fourth time …"

Seeing the invitation fly back to him and hearing Xiao Hua's warning, the martial artist's eyes flashed with a cold light. He opened his mouth and a black Qi rolled and annihilated the invitation. A pitch-black flame appeared in the black Qi. In a moment, the invitation turned into ashes and a few strands of clear Qi fell into the martial artist's hand.

The martial artist waved his hand slightly. These strands of clear Qi soared into the sky and disappeared in an instant.

"Refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit …" The martial artist sneered. Black Qi once again surged out from his body. In just a few breaths, he blended into the night once again.

"Refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit …" Almost at the same time, above the heavy red clouds above the foot of Yaotai Mountain, at the summit of Yaotai Mountain, within an elegant palace, several streaks of clear air rushed in. On the wall, a three-colored mist surged, revealing a clear and bright night scene. Within this night scene, was precisely Xiao Hua's slowly flying back figure. These words were spoken by a middle-aged man with a tall stature, an elegant appearance, and a bulging forehead.

This middle-aged man was wearing a scholarly robe and was sitting on a wooden chair. Above him was an old man with white hair and beard. He was holding an ancient book in his hand and reading it with narrowed eyes.

Obviously, due to the mist surging on the wall and the influence of this middle-aged man's words, the old man raised his head. Although the old man's face was full of wrinkles, even on his forehead, these wrinkles didn't make people feel that he was old at all. There was only an extremely wise feeling. Not to mention that the old man's eyes were moving, a kind of divine light that could penetrate one's heart and lungs appeared from time to time.

The old man glanced at Xiao Hua's back on the wall and said with a smile, "Linghu, what made you so angry?"

"Reporting to Hall Master."

The scholar called Linghu bowed and said, "These days, subordinate has been trying to find a few suitable helpers among the Daoist cultivators who came to participate in the Yaotai Conference. However, after finding a few, I always felt that they weren't suitable. It's either that they were insatiable or that their cultivation was insufficient. Today, it's rare to see a Daoist cultivator who understands the law and etiquette and has the demeanor of our Confucian cultivators.

Subordinate ordered people to bring an invitation card from our Star Lord Hall to invite him. However, he actually refused using the excuse of not accepting melons in the field and not accepting a plum under a plum tree. Tell me, how can subordinate not be angry?

How can Daoist cultivators come and go as they wish? "

"Oh?

This cultivator is actually interesting. What's his cultivation? "The interest on the old man's face was greatly aroused. He looked at Xiao Hua's slowly flying figure and asked.

"Subordinate can't tell, but he should be around the Fourth Grade Lower Rank of Essence Energy!"

"Heh heh, he came for the Yaotai Mountain's State Preceptor's contract."

The old man chuckled, "But all Daoist cultivators have a sharp spirit in their hearts. They want to establish a country, want to make some achievements, and achieve great achievements.

Let him suffer a bit of setback and know the power of our Confucian cultivators. He will be convinced! "

Scholar Linghu nodded: "Subordinate knows. That year, when Hall Master subdued Daoist Master Huode, it should be like this."

When the old man heard this, his brows slightly wrinkled. Scholar Linghu immediately knew that his words were wrong and hastily bowed: "Subordinate understands. I won't dare mention these words again."

"En, you keep an eye on this cultivator. See where his palace is. In the Yaotai Conference three days later, you can fully display the power of our Confucian cultivators. Treat this as a test for you …" The old man indifferently instructed.

Scholar Linghu's face showed joy, and he hastily bowed: "Subordinate thanks Hall Master for bestowing a Star General …"

However, just when Scholar Linghu gave his thanks, he saw that in the darkness above the wall, Xiao Hua who had been slowly flying all along suddenly lifted her head. Her gaze was like lightning, directly looking at the old man and scholar's location. As if she had discovered something, she immediately raised her hand, and an intense brilliance was born. The entire wall became snow-white with a slap!

"Ah??"

The old man slightly stared blankly, and Scholar Linghu was even more startled. His eyes unconsciously slightly closed, and by the time they opened their eyes again, the wall had already returned to normal. However, that was in the darkness. Other than the lantern inside the tent, they could no longer see Xiao Hua's figure.

"Hiss …" The old man sucked in a breath of cold air, his eyes flashing with a cold light, "This child perhaps has the cultivation of Fourth Grade Upper Rank Essence Energy. Otherwise, he simply would not have been able to discover …"

"Good!"

Scholar Linghu's eyes showed a kind of eagerness, and he said, "Subordinate is most fond of this kind of powerful opponent. If he can become Subordinate's Star General, it will be a great help to Subordinate."

"Ha, ha …" The old man laughed aloud, "It seems you still want to have him compete with This Old Man's Star General!"

"Hall Master's Star General is incomparably valiant. Subordinate fears he does not dare compete."

Scholar Linghu smiled, "However, to be able to capture this person is extremely beneficial to my Star Lord Hall. Thus, Subordinate is willing to try."

"As you wish!"

The old man waved his hand, "This time's Jade Pavilion Gathering is different from before. You must be careful. Do not suffer a backlash from this Daoist cultivator.

Oh, right, how is the situation on Daoist Master Huo De's side? "

"Yes, Subordinate knows. Subordinate will be careful."

Scholar Linghu bowed and said, "Just now, a Star Soldier reported that Daoist Master Huo De seemed to have suffered a setback, having been injured by a Daoist cultivator. The banquet can be considered over, but the Trade Gathering has not been opened. This has a somewhat bad influence on his plans."

"Oh?

Which cultivator did it? "The old man was quite interested," Was it Daoist Grandmist's subordinate? "

"Daoist Grandmist's subordinate did not take action. He merely spoke out to refute Daoist Master Huo De, making Daoist Master Huo De lose face. That person is called Daoist Master Qing Xu, and he seems to know we are being monitored. After he finished speaking, he left, and there was no trace of him."

Scholar Linghu explained, "Because Daoist Master Huo De lost face, he wanted to find trouble with a Black Wind Ridge cultivator named Xiao Hua, but that Xiao Hua unexpectedly concealed himself deeply, instantly injuring Daoist Master Huo De. Afterwards, he left the Immortal's Abode and disappeared."

"Heh, heh, even if Daoist Master Huo De did not recover his face, perhaps that Xiao Hua would have taken action!" The old man coldly smiled, "Could it be you did not see?

This Xiao Hua and Daoist Master Qing Xu were singing the same tune, one in the light and one in the dark? "

"Aiyo, not bad, exactly."

Scholar Linghu slapped his forehead and said, "This Xiao Hua was disrespectful at the start of the toast. As it turned out, it was for the sake of a falling-out later!"

"Precisely so!"

The old man nodded, "Although this old man did not know there was such a thing as being disrespectful when toasting, how many people would dare to fall out with Daoist Master Huo De at a banquet?

If it was not arranged beforehand, would Xiao Hua have dared to make a move? "

"This subordinate has learned!" Scholar Linghu bowed and said.

"Send someone to find out where Daoist Master Qing Xu and Xiao Hua are staying, as well as those damned little bastards from Grandmist on the list …" The old man somewhat gnashed his teeth, "Usually, this old man would be too lazy to pay attention to other places, but they actually dared to behave atrociously at Yaotai Mountain …"

"No need …" At this moment, an indifferent voice came from the palace, "They naturally came to the Jadestage Gathering for a purpose. We will deal with all changes by sticking to the status quo, and let them slowly reveal their true colors."

"Immortal emissary?"

The old man raised his eyebrows and secretly said in his heart. He gave Scholar Linghu a meaningful glance and said, "Linghu Piran, no need to pay attention to these two people. Go and see how the arrangements for the Jadestage Gathering are going. This time's Jadestage Gathering must be something that Daoist cultivators will not forget for a hundred years."

"Yes, Palace Master, this subordinate will go and check." Linghu Piran hurriedly bowed and saluted, then quickly walked out.

"Kong Hongwu greets Lord Immortal Emissary!" When Linghu Piran left, the old man hurriedly got up and turned his head to look at the screen behind him.

On the screen was a picture of the Moon Palace. The brilliance of the moon flashed slightly, and a layer of mist appeared. Then, a light green palace dress appeared in the mist. A tall woman stepped on a cloud and descended from the moon. In the blink of an eye, she flew in front of the old man.

Although the woman was already standing in front of the old man, the clouds in front of the woman's face blocked the old man's view, so the old man couldn't see her face clearly.

However, the old man did not dare to neglect and respectfully saluted.

"Take a seat!"

The woman was not polite. She waved her hand, and a layer of the same faint cloud fell on the chair that Kong Hongwu sat on before. Then, she sat down gracefully and ordered.

Kong Hongwu respectfully said, "Many thanks for the seat, Immortal Emissary." Then, he also sat on the chair that Linghu Piran sat on just now.

"Palace Master Kong …" Just as the Immortal Emissary opened her mouth, she was immediately interrupted by Kong Hongwu. Kong Hongwu hurriedly stood up and said with a smile, "Immortal Emissary is joking. It's better to call me Kong Hongwu. I don't dare to be called Palace Master."

"Haha, Star Lord Hall is Star Lord Hall. Palace Master Kong is in charge of Star Lord Hall, so you should be called Palace Master Kong. There is nothing wrong with this!" The Immortal Emissary smiled faintly, and the clouds in front of her floated slightly.

PS: End of the night. Thank you again, Alliance Master "Flowing Falling Flowers E" and all the Fellow Daoists for your encouragement and support.
