Long Haishan stood there, stunned, his mind a complete mess.
Beside him, Ma Laojiu, Shi Poshan, Wu Daba, and the other clan elders were all dumbfounded.
They looked at each other, speechless.
"Dragon... Boss Dragon..." Ma Lao Jiu's voice trembled, "Who exactly is that little... little Taoist priest?"
Long Haishan did not answer.
He stared intently at the head table, his eyes unblinking.
The young man finally moved.
He stood up, reached out, and offered a helping hand.
The movements were very casual.
But those big shots seemed to have received some great favor, and only then did they straighten up.
Then, they smiled and said something.
Long Haishan could see that those usually high-ranking figures now had smiles that were almost obsequious.
Especially that Celestial Master from Longhu Mountain, whose eyes were practically squinting from laughing.
Long Haishan felt his heart sinking deeper and deeper.
He then looked at the young man.
The young man's face was expressionless; he only nodded occasionally and said a word or two.
The attitude wasn't exactly cold, but it certainly wasn't enthusiastic either.
Just like...
It's like an elder dealing with several younger people.
Long Haishan was startled by his own thought.
elder?
younger generation?
Those big shots, aren't they all figures who can make the entire Great Xia's extraordinary world tremble with a stomp of their feet?
In front of this young man, they acted like elementary school students meeting their teacher.
This……
What level of existence must this be?
Long Haishan dared not even think about it.
But then he suddenly remembered something.
Some time ago, the Night Watch distributed a set of cultivation manuals with two sentences printed on the cover.
Below those two sentences, the signature is—
Master Li.
Long Haishan's mind went blank.
Master Li!
Is it...
That young man is that Taoist Priest Li?!
Long Haishan's legs suddenly felt weak.
He steadied himself by holding onto the table.
When Ma Lao Jiu saw him like this, he panicked even more.
"Boss Long? Boss Long, what's wrong?"
……
At the main table, President Qin and his colleagues straightened up, all with smiles on their faces.
"Master Li, you look even better these past few days," President Qin said with a smile.
Li Jun felt helpless upon hearing this. How could a vibrant young man like him not look well?
But he couldn't say much at this point, so he could only nod.
"Mr. Qin, you're too kind."
He looked at Zhang Tianshi and Qingwei Sect Leader.
"The two seniors have also arrived."
Zhang Tianshi quickly waved his hand.
"Master Li, please don't call me that. In front of you, I am not worthy of the title 'senior'."
Master Qingwei nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, indeed, Master Li, please address me by my name."
Li Jun smiled but didn't reply.
The old Taoist priest beside him then smiled and said:
"President Qin, Fellow Daoist Xuanming, Celestial Master Zhang, Fellow Daoist Qingwei, please don't stand, please have a seat."
Then President Qin and his group sat down around the main table.
This scene, witnessed by everyone in the square, was utterly shocking.
People started whispering among themselves.
"Who is that young man? Why are those big shots so respectful?"
"I don't know, he looks quite young, he must have a powerful background."
"Nonsense, if he didn't have some powerful background, why would those big shots treat him with such respect?"
"I heard it's someone from the man's side, apparently a friend of Yin Jian."
"Yin Jian's friend? I've heard that Chief Lan's son-in-law comes from an ordinary family!"
"Can an ordinary guy like you have friends like that?"
"this……"
The buzzing of voices carried far and wide.
As Long Haishan listened to those discussions, his heart grew colder and colder.
A boy from an ordinary family?
fart!
Can an ordinary family have friends who can make those big shots stand up and smile at them?
At that moment, he remembered the words he had spoken when he stood up.
He recalled the plans he had prepared.
He thought of Gu Changqing.
Gu Changqing...
A glimmer of hope welled up in Long Haishan's heart.
Yes, and Gu Changqing too.
Gu Changqing is a being comparable to the Void Refinement Realm!
With him there, even if this Taoist priest Li is incredibly powerful, things won't come to this...
Just as he was thinking, a hoarse laugh suddenly came from the entrance of the village!
"Blue girl, your daughter's wedding is such a joyous occasion, why didn't you even send me a word?"
The sound wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
Everyone turned around.
At the entrance of the village, a figure darted in like a bird!
The person was incredibly fast, passing through the gate in the blink of an eye and gracefully landing in the center of the square!
boom!
The ground trembled slightly the moment it landed!
A powerful aura spread outwards like a tide!
Those around felt a tightness in their chests, and even breathing became difficult.
Lan Cailing's expression changed.
Refining the void?
She looked closely.
The visitor was an old man.
He looked to be in his seventies or eighties, dressed in a long black robe, with a lean figure, a sinister face, and a pair of sharp eyes.
That face looked somewhat familiar.
Lan Cailing was stunned for a few seconds.
Then, her pupils contracted.
"Gu Ming?"
The old man smiled.
"Little Lan, it's been so many years, do you still remember this old codger?"
"However, I will now use the courtesy name given to me by my elder sister as my name."
Lan Cailing fell silent.
Gu Ming, Gu Changqing.
Of course she remembers.
Thirty years ago, this person had a dispute with her mother and left Miao territory in a huff, heading to Southeast Asia.
There has been no further news since.
Everyone thought he had died in Southeast Asia.
and……
Refinement Realm!
Lan Cailing's heart sank.
She looked at Long Haishan's table.
really.
The expressions on Long Haishan and his companions' faces had changed from shock to ecstasy.
Long Haishan, in particular, was practically radiating light.
Lan Cailing understood.
The reason why Long Haishan and his gang dared to cause trouble today is because Gu Changqing was backing them up.
At this moment, Gu Changqing stood in the center of the square, his gaze subtly drifting towards the main table, lingering on Li Jun for a moment.
It was just a fleeting moment.
Then he looked away, as if nothing had happened.
But no one knew the turmoil churning within him.
That young man...
He recognized him when he was hiding outside the village.
Two weeks ago.
He discussed Taoism with Master Qingxu of Maoshan at Wanfu Temple in Nanyang.
After the discussion, Master Qingxu took him to a quiet room in the temple.
Inside the quiet room, a statue is enshrined.
The statue was not large, about a foot tall, and depicted a young man.
He had a handsome face, wore a Taoist robe, and stood there, looking quite ordinary.
Gu Changqing found it a bit strange at the time.
As an elder of Maoshan and a highly respected figure of our time, why would Master Qingxu enshrine a statue of a young man?
He asked a question.
Master Qingxu remained silent for a long time before telling him.
That person was a true master who solved the disaster in Southeast Asia.
It was only because that person was indifferent to fame and fortune that he bore such great renown.
Gu Changqing was deeply shocked when he heard this.
He stared at the statue for a long time.
I will remember that young man's face.
And that face, and the young man at the main table...
They overlapped.
Afterwards, the Night Watchman, Master Qin, Master Xuanming, Master Zhang, and the Qingwei Sect Leader of Maoshan all treated that young man with unbelievable respect.
Gu Changqing suddenly understood.
Today, I almost offended a great deity!
fortunately.
Fortunately, he sensed the approaching fluctuations of the Void Refinement stage and did not immediately reveal himself as originally planned.
Fortunately, I recognized that person first.
otherwise……
The consequences could be disastrous.
At this moment, Gu Changqing suppressed the shock surging in his heart and strode up to Lan Cailing.
"Blue Girl".
With a smile on his face, he took out a palm-sized jade box from his pocket and handed it to Lan Cailing.
"These are some little trinkets I found in Southeast Asia, and I'm giving them to Nianzhen as a congratulatory gift."
Lan Cailing glanced down at the jade box.
The jade box has a warm and smooth texture, and it is clearly not an ordinary item.
She didn't reach out to take it.
She simply raised her head and looked at Gu Changqing.
His gaze was calm.
"Uncle Gu".
She spoke, her tone stiff.
"It's been many years, but you still look as charming as ever."
Gu Changqing was stunned for a moment.
"What elegance or not, I'm just an old man, niece, please don't make fun of me."
He looked at Lan Cailing's cold face, sighed, and said with a touch of regret.
"Back then, I was out of my mind. After arguing with my sister, I left Miao territory in a huff and went to Southeast Asia."
"I've regretted it every time I think about it over the years."
He paused, looking at Lan Cailing.
"I came back this time for two reasons: first, to offer my congratulations, and second, to pay my respects to my elder sister."
Lan Cailing fell silent.
She just stared at Gu Changqing for a long time.
Gu Changqing didn't flinch, just let her watch.
His eyes were full of sincerity.
The square was deathly silent.
Everyone was watching this scene.
The smiles on Long Haishan and his companions froze.
They looked at each other, and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
Gu Changqing...
What are they doing?
What happened to the promised abolition of blue ringtones?
What happened to the promise to reclaim control of the witchcraft lineage?
How could he...?
Why did you go upstairs to give a gift?
