There are several restaurants in Tiandu Imperial City, which are well-known, and "Zaixing Tower" is one of them.

Zhaixing Tower was booked a whole restaurant today.

Those who can do such a big deal are only big names at the level of the Holy Son of the Academy under the feet of the emperor, except for the royal family and the powerful.

Qingjun today booked the Zhaixing Tower to invite the Pope who had just ascended the throne in Xiling and the young genius practitioners from the other three academies to come to Zhaixing Tower to discuss together.

Gu Cang and Zhongli both agreed to the invitation, but the Pope did not refuse, but took such time out of their busy schedule.

The disciples of the four academies have long been to Zhaixing Tower.

Gu Cang and Zhongli came a little later. When they arrived at the highest floor of Zhaixing Tower, they had already seen a woman in black robe wearing a hat, with a huge piano box standing beside them. The veil of the hat was hanging down, and they couldn't see their true face clearly.

Qinjun.

"Shengshengshou... rare guest, distinguished guest." Gu Cang smiled and found a seat, and chose to be next to Shengshengshou. Not far away, he said softly: "How has Miss Qin been recently?"

Under the black veil, the sound of his face was so slow that he picked up a cup of tea, lifted a corner of the veil, and sipped it gently, and ignored it. In the eyes of outsiders, Gu Cang, who is ranked among the four gentlemen of Tiandu.

Gu Cang smiled slightly, made a fuss, and was not angry, and continued, "It is said that Bailu Cave Academy does not fight or rob, so he can invite Miss Qin here... Qingjun has a great face."

Shengsheng slowly put the teacup back on the table without sending a word.

There was a hint of depression in Gu Cang's eyes and he said self-deprecatingly: "It seems that Qingjun has a bigger face than me."

Not long ago, Songyang Academy also hosted four academies, and was also in Zhaixing Tower.

However, Bailu Cave Academy received the invitation but did not respond.

Even a figure can't be seen.

Zhongli raised his eyebrows. He knew that Gu Cang had always had an unexplainable attitude towards the girl Qinjun from Bailu Cave Academy. Unfortunately, he asked with great care and ignored his invitation.

I don't like this Cangjun at all.

Shengshengshou wore a hat, and his face under the veil was extremely mysterious. It is said that he was very beautiful... There is no doubt that the female disciples of Bailu Cave Academy are all very beautiful.

Before becoming the great gentleman of Songyang Academy, Gu Cang had fought with Shengshengshen and was fortunate to see his face. Since then, he has begun to linger. The elders of the two academies have taken action on this, and the matter has caused a lot of trouble.

Finally, Xunsheng slowly closed his door and refused to leave.

Gu Cang was helpless.

Gu Cang's cultivation is not bad, and he bears the reputation of the great gentleman of the Tiandu City, but his voice is slow and he looks down on him.

When he saw him today, he couldn't help but want to say something.

"Brother Gu, please respect yourself."

The face under the veil of the hat was not wafty at all, and Shengsheng spoke slowly and calmly, as if he glanced at Gu Cang, and said, "I came for the Pope today, and I have no other intentions."

Zhongli narrowed his eyes, hugged his arms happily, waiting to see a good show.

"In a few days, Songyang Academy will also invite the Pope to the banquet, or to be in this Zhaixing Tower." Gu Cang took a deep breath and said seriously: "Miss Qin is willing to give her a favor?"

Shengsheng didn't raise his head and said indifferently: "This time I see the Pope, I will go into seclusion... I wish Brother Gu good luck and a good relationship with the Pope."

"You..." Gu Cang's expression changed slightly, his eyes were a little dim, and he finally sighed.

Even if you are diligent and offer good things, others don’t like it, but they don’t like it.

Gu Cang is also a figure who is full of stars. In order to make his voice slow, he has lost face and hurt his heart in front of everyone. Why bother with these things again?

Gu Cang shook his head gently and thought of what his master said.

"It's better to be dedicated to the Tao."

Miss Qin only wants to pursue the great way, and he can do it too.

Before the Tiandu Daohui came, Gu Cang defeated all the enemies blocking him and walked at the front of the avenue.

When I think of this, the Taoist heart no longer hesitates.

Gu Cang exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"After so long, why haven't Qingjun come yet?"

Zhongli also frowned and invited the guests. The four academies were on par. As the host, he should have arrived at Zhaixing Tower earlier. Why didn’t he show up now?

The Pope is busy with matters, and the mahjong Taoist who is beside him has already expressed his apology to the three great gentlemen, and may be a little later.

Pope Chen Yi is the protagonist in this banquet today.

After a while, a white wooden carriage was stopped under Zhaixing Tower, and the Pope got off the carriage and climbed to Zhaixing Tower.

The protagonist is here.

The two academies in Songyang and Yuelu, the eyes lit up and welcomed the Pope to the seat.

Although the academy and the Daozong are located in a remote place, one is at the foot of the emperor and the other is outside Xiling, there is an inseparable relationship between the two. The four academies are densely scattered outside the sky, and there are many small academies with direct branches and leaves in the Sui Dynasty.

The Daozong covered the entire Sui Dynasty.

The Buddhist sect in Dongtu did not prosper, and did not leave their homes, which affected less than the four realms. It was a region of Dongtu, and the teachings of the Taoist sect covered a vast territory.

If the academy wants to go further, it must maintain a good cooperative relationship with the Daozong.

Regarding the enlistment, convergence, and implementation of the teachings of academies and Taoism, some of the tedious things that really need to be done below are all the things that will be discussed in today's banquet.

Including Shengshengrang, the young leaders of the three academies started talking to Chen Yi shortly after they sat down.

Time passed without realizing it.

"Then the eighteen cities including Yongling City, poor people, who are under fourteen years old, can go to the academy for education as long as they meet the conditions." Chen Yi said softly and seriously: "I will allocate these silver coins from the Sanqing Pavilion. In return, I hope the academy can make a step back and collect less silver coins from the Daozong."

Gu Cang and Zhongli looked at each other, but they were still hesitating.

Eighteen cities including Yongling City in the Great Sui Dynasty are located in a remote corner, close to the southern border and in poverty. This is not a small number.

"Bailu Cave Academy will assist the Pope." Sheng Shengrang said firmly: "There are many children in the Great Sui Dynasty who cannot afford to study. The academy will help them get rid of this part of the silver."

When Gu Cang heard this, he no longer hesitated and said seriously: "Songyang Academy attaches its proposal and is willing to subsidize the Pope and contribute a meager force to southern Xinjiang."

Zhongli sighed. When he was about to express his opinion, the two great gentlemen in front of him were so determined that they could not tolerate him to be silly and could only nod and agree.

The Pope was relieved.

This matter has been settled.

He rubbed his eyebrows and suddenly said in confusion: "Where is Qingjun?"

It has been an hour since I arrived at Zhaixing Tower by myself.

The cooperation between Daozong and the academy has been discussed for a little while.

Qingjun hasn't arrived yet?

Gu Cang and Zhongli's expressions were not good-looking either.

This is really unreasonable.

He invited the Pope over and the other three great gentlemen from the academy to come over.

I'm late?

What does this mean?

Shengsheng's slow tone was hunched with a hint of irony, and said, "Maybe Qingjun encountered some problems during his practice, and forgot time under Qingshan Mansion... This is a common thing."

After the words came to an end, someone knocked on the door outside the top floor of Zhaixing Tower.

The Pope frowned and looked at the young son of Yingtian Mansion who bowed respectfully to the three great gentlemen after knocking on the door. He said in a trembling voice: "Everyone... Lord Qingjun, you may not be able to come today."

Gu Cang sneered, "Can't come? He really thought he was invincible? He asked me to wait, and the Pope, put on airs. He didn't even see a figure for an hour. Now he said, "I can't come. What does this mean?"

The disciple of Yingtian Prefecture saw Cangjun's attitude, and his mind was blank and he didn't know what to say.

Zhongli was not impatient. He signaled the other party not to be nervous and asked with a smile: "What happened to Qingjun?"

The disciple of Yingtian Mansion thought to himself that it has been more than an hour since what happened in Qingshan Mansion... It has been a lot of controversy outside, and no one dares to enter the highest floor of Zhaixing Tower. If he drags it on, the Pope is afraid that he will really get angry.

He bit and said, "There was some accident in Qingshan Mansion."

"Oh? Accident?"

Gu Cang was happy, laughed, and said, "If you say that Qingjun was in a devil when he was practicing, this would be a good thing."

This sentence made the disciples of Yingtian Mansion look blue and red, and they gritted their teeth. But the other party was a great gentleman of Songyang Academy. He had no choice but to do anything and didn't know how to tell the embarrassing things at the door of his house.

A ma-robed Taoist who came up from the Zhaixing Tower at this moment came behind the disciples of Yingtian Palace. The ma-robed Taoist who was from the Dao Sect had already investigated everything clearly.

He looked at the Pope and said calmly and without emotion what happened outside.

"Qingshan Mansion was smashed, Qingjun was attacked and unconscious. The banquet tonight should not be here."

Say this sentence.

The disciples of Yingtian Mansion's face turned red, feeling frustrated and embarrassing.

Gu Cang and Zhongli were stunned and did not react for a long time.

Chen Yi was stunned.

Qingshan Mansion, the holy place for practice in Yingtian Mansion, is specially reserved for the place where the great gentlemen practice.
To be continued...
