Chapter 836

There weren't any decorations in the pavilion. It was just empty. A woman with white hair and a veil on her face was sitting cross-legged at the very top.

Zhang Pinger led Zhang Xiaohua in carefully. When they were some distance away from the woman, they stopped and saluted, "Greetings, Master."

Zhang Xiaohua was naturally respectful. He cupped his hands and saluted, "Greetings, Deputy Palace Master!"

The woman waved her hand. She still had a pleasant expression, "I don't have any tables or chairs here. Just sit down. Don't stand on ceremony."

She said "don't stand on ceremony", but Zhang Xiaohua didn't dare to be impolite. He still thanked her and respectfully sat down cross-legged not far away. Fortunately, Zhang Xiaohua usually meditated and cultivated. He wasn't unfamiliar with this position.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua sitting down so skillfully, the woman seemed surprised. She couldn't help but ask, "Ren Xiaoyao, you … what kind of internal energy do you practice?"

Zhang Xiaohua opened his mouth and said, "Deputy Palace Master, I practice the Reckless Bull Strength!"

"Reckless Bull Strength?"

The woman was obviously surprised. She muttered, "It doesn't seem to be a famous martial art in Jianghu!"

"Hehe," Zhang Xiaohua laughed and said, "That's right. I don't have enough talent. I can only choose to practice the most basic martial arts. Even in Jianghu, the Reckless Bull Strength is an extremely basic martial art. It's normal that Deputy Palace Master hasn't heard of it."

"So it's like that."

The woman said suspiciously, "You look quite young. This Reckless Bull Strength is also an extremely basic martial art. But … how can your martial arts be so high?

Even Pinger isn't your opponent? "

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Senior Sister Zhang is overpraising me. This little one has never fought with Senior Sister Zhang. It was just a coincidence that I was able to help her a few times. When it comes to martial arts, this little one may not be a match for Senior Sister Zhang."

Zhang Pinger didn't know what Zhang Xiaohua meant. She looked at him and then at her master. She wanted to say something but stopped.

The woman was very satisfied with Zhang Xiaohua's modesty. "I didn't expect you to be so self-aware and refuse to take credit for yourself. It's really rare.

However, at your age, you should be full of youthful vigor and strive for superiority. Not revealing your edge like this, blindly hiding your incompetence, may … may not be a good thing. "

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Deputy Palace Master."

"Hehe, actually, from the sound of your footsteps when you came in, I could tell that your Qing Gong is very good. You must also have some attainments in Inner Strength. I just feel that you are young and a little strange, so I said a few more words. Don't blame me."

Zhang Xiaohua liked it even more. She also said respectfully, "Vice Palace Master is my … elder. I naturally have to listen with all my ears. It's nothing."

"Hehe, speaking of elders, I am indeed older than you. However, my life was saved by you. I asked Ping 'er to bring you here because I wanted to personally thank you."

As she said that, she stood up and bowed.

"What ~" Zhang Xiaohua was immediately shocked. This was the Deputy Palace Master of the Distant Fire Temple. Yes, although she didn't understand the trick, to be the Palace Master of the Lingering Fragrance Peak, that … was at least on the same level as Yang Ruping and Elder Zi Shen. She actually bowed to an ordinary disciple like herself. This … was simply inconceivable.

Zhang Xiaohua also immediately stood up and bowed deeply. She returned the greeting and said, "Deputy Palace Master, you scared me to death. If I had heard Senior Sister Zhang's words earlier, I wouldn't have dared to come!"

"Hahaha." The woman also laughed. She straightened her back and said, "You are really interesting. I naturally have to thank you in person for saving my life. Otherwise, wouldn't I be an ungrateful person?"

For a moment, Zhang Xiaohua's impression of the Spreading Fragrance Cult weakened a little. Since there was such a grateful person in the cult, even if they were despicable, how dark could they be?

Zhang Xiaohua also straightened her back. "It's all because of Senior Sister Zhang's filial piety that moved heaven and earth. I just happened to be at the right time and conveniently took away the gift bestowed to Senior Sister Zhang. It's fine if Deputy Palace Master doesn't pursue the crime of taking it for myself. How would I dare to be greedy for this credit?"

"Yes, fortunately. If you hadn't given this gift to Ping 'er in time, I would have turned into a malicious spirit and come to you for revenge ~" The woman also laughed.

"This …" Zhang Xiaohua scratched her head and said, "It seems like Palace Master's idea is going to fall through. With such a filial disciple like Senior Sister Zhang, you will have to wait a thousand years before you can find me!"

"Hahaha." The woman laughed very happily. Even Zhang Pinger, who was sitting next to her, was secretly laughing.

After a long while, the Deputy Palace Master stopped laughing and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen such an interesting little fellow like you. No wonder Ping 'er has been nagging in my ear, saying something about repaying kindness. Hehe, at first I thought Ping' er had some selfish motives. Now it seems that if she didn't have such selfish motives, I would have only taken a martial arts manual to send you away. How could I have seen you?"

"Master …" Zhang Pinger's face was flushed red again.

Zhang Xiaohua touched her nose and didn't know how to deal with it.

"Well, Ren Xiaoyao, you go down with Ping 'er first. You are a special case as a probationary disciple. If I hadn't grown up with the Hierarch, she wouldn't have been able to refuse this favor. If you want to enter the inner sect, it will be a little tricky."

"The martial arts assessment must be passed. I can't do it, but looking at your lightness skill, it shouldn't be a problem. When Lian Yan has the skill, I'll let you take the assessment quickly. During this time, follow Ping 'er to see our Distant Fire Hall."

Zhang Pinger was very happy to hear this. "I will follow Master's order."

Zhang Xiaohua cupped her hands. "I will follow the Deputy Palace Master's arrangement."

When they came out of Zhang Pinger's Master's place, the sky was getting dark. Zhang Pinger smiled and said, "Senior Brother, it's already late. You must be hungry. How about we eat first and then let the male disciples take you to rest?"

"This …" Zhang Xiaohua was a little hesitant. After thinking for a while, she said, "I'm not hungry. I'm tired from walking all the way. Why don't I rest early?"

"I see."

Zhang Pinger was a little surprised. She smiled bitterly and said, "It's not convenient for little sister to go to the male disciples' resting place. Now it's time to eat. Senior Brother, come with me to the dining room. Feel free to eat and let them take you back to rest."

"Of course, of course." Zhang Xiaohua came to a realization and quickly said.

The dining room in Lihuo Hall was much better than Tian Mu Peak's dining room. Even the rooms were elegant and the people eating there were refined. They weren't as vulgar as Zhang Xiaohua had seen when she first came to Tian Mu Peak.

Zhang Pinger came to a dining room and didn't enter. She waved her hand and beckoned a male disciple who was slightly younger than Zhang Xiaohua. After giving him a few instructions, she smiled apologetically and said, "Junior Brother Ren, feel free to eat. After that, you can follow Junior Brother Di. Your accommodation has already been arranged."

"Thank you, Senior Martial Sister Zhang and Junior Martial Brother Di." Zhang Xiaohua replied with a smile.

After speaking, Zhang Pinger glanced at Zhang Xiaohua and hurriedly left.

Junior Brother Di was also observant. With a smile on his face, he said, "Senior Brother Ren?

Please, this way please. "

As he spoke, he brought Zhang Xiaohua into the dining room.

Even though everyone in the dining room was refined, they were all stunned when they saw a stranger enter. The entire dining room fell silent. Zhang Xiaohua could be considered as someone who had seen many grand occasions. She wasn't at a loss like she was back in Huan Xi Manor. She smiled and scanned the dining room. When she saw an empty table at the side, she asked, "Junior Brother Di, is that place okay?"

Junior Brother Di nodded. "Anywhere is fine. Only Senior Brother Ren likes it."

Zhang Xiaohua sat down quietly and casually ate the vegetables and unknown fruits on the table. At this moment, the previously silent dining room immediately became lively again. En, it could be said that it was noisy. It was far from the good atmosphere that Zhang Xiaohua had seen earlier.

It seemed that everyone was whispering to each other and glancing at Zhang Xiaohua from the corner of their eyes. Needless to say, they were all discussing the origin of Zhang Xiaohua. In less than half a meal, all the disciples in the dining room knew about it under the disclosure of some well-informed disciples.

As a result, the expressions in their eyes became interesting. There were jealousy, admiration, injustice, mockery, and so on. There were all kinds of different expressions.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at them with her divine sense and ignored them. She only lowered her head, as if she couldn't get along with the vegetables on the table.

There were still many male disciples who came over. There were both young and old, but there were no exceptions. They all looked at Zhang Xiaohua in astonishment and then sat at other tables. No one sat with him. Even Junior Brother Di, although his attitude was respectful, he chose a chair at the side and didn't sit at the same table with him.

Just when the dining room was a little chaotic, it suddenly became quiet again. A disciple who was about 85 years old, with a slightly yellow face and broom-like eyebrows, stood at the entrance of the dining room with a frown.

Zhang Xiaohua, who was eating with his head lowered, was startled. It was obvious that the silence was meant to welcome this disciple. The yellow-skinned disciple swept his gaze across the dining hall and easily spotted Zhang Xiaohua, who was sitting alone at the side. His frown deepened as he strode over. When he saw Zhang Xiaohua, who had his head lowered, he did not say anything. He sat down and ate as usual.

When Zhang Xiaohua saw this, she could only raise her head and nod slightly at the disciple. Unfortunately, the disciple only glanced at her and didn't respond. "He really has a personality!" Zhang Xiaohua mocked herself in her heart.

Strangely enough, after this disciple arrived, the dining hall immediately regained its tranquility. Even if there were people whispering to each other, it was extremely soft. If one did not prick up one's ears, one would not be able to hear it.

The meal was finished very quickly. However, Zhang Xiaohua felt depressed as she sat there. When she saw that Junior Brother Di was almost done eating, she stood up and looked at him. Just as she was about to turn around, she heard the disciple who had been eating with his head lowered say, "You … are the alchemy disciple recommended by Senior Sister Zhang?"

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the disciple, nodded, and said, "I am Ren Xiaoyao. Senior Brother, please advise me."

"Well, okay, I'll give you some advice in the future!" The disciple lowered his head and continued to eat, ignoring Zhang Xiaohua.
