Chapter 842 - He Didn’t Know Either (1/2)
The three of them bid farewell and returned to their respective palaces. Zhangsun Xun Yi led Hua Min into his study and motioned for him to sit down before he went and poured both of them a cup of tea.
”I can imagine that you might have some questions.”
Hua Min laughed and picked up the teacup. ”It's not only a few. Honestly, how did that person end up in your Yun Zou Sect? If he had some trouble, shouldn't he have gone back to the Jian Yi Sect?”
Zhangsun Xun Yi shook his head. ”This matter, I also can't tell you. I only know that he came here without telling anybody his identity. He pretended to be a disciple and up until now, I seem to be the only one who noticed. In fact, if it wasn't for the tea set that your Master gifted him, I still wouldn't have seen through him and continued to believe that he was just an ordinary disciple.”
Hua Min nodded. ”Well, that's a given. If you were able to see through a genius like him, you probably would've ascended already.”
Zhangsun Xun Yi nodded slowly, staring at his own cup of tea. In fact, if it wasn't for the situation of the Yun Zou Sect that had been completely unpredictable for the last few years, he already might have attempted to ascend. But with everything that happened, he felt less and less sure about whether or not he should do it.
If he succeeded or not wasn't even that important. But as soon as he left, what would become of the sect? He had been raised here, the level he had attained had only been made possible because of the care he had received from the Yun Zou Sect. It truly wasn't that easy for him to just let matters go and not care anymore.
No, he still felt that he had some responsibility for this place. And considering that the successor that Yuchi Bing Xia had chosen wasn't suitable as an actual successor after all, he was even less sure of what he should do.
Sure, as long as Leng Jin Yu stayed in the Yun Zou Sect and maybe even that person recovered his former peak state with his help, then nothing could happen to the sect. But who knew if they would stay after that person was healed? It might still be a long time until then but that didn't mean anything. The road of cultivation was a long one. A hundred years, a thousand, ten thousand … It was an insignificant amount of time for cultivators and practitioners, not even worth mentioning.
Zhangsun Xun Yi sighed and pulled himself out of his thoughts. ”Anyway, I don't know exactly what is going on.”
”Then what is up with that spouse of his? They only got married after he ascended?”
