Sensing Xia Jingnian's gaze, Qin Le felt refreshed, thinking that this topic attracted him, so he continued.

"It seems like there isn't even a normal person among his masters and disciples, right?"

"The senior brother is a lunatic, the second senior sister is obese, and the third child... tsk tsk..."

The disciples of Gu Shanshan are all weirdos. This matter is not a secret in Taixu Palace, and it is often mentioned in gatherings of this small circle.

However, it is still relatively rare for someone like Qin Le to point fingers without scruples.

No matter what, it is still Nascent Soul!

How can they, monks with universal golden elixirs and foundation-building, criticize it?

So for a while, few people dared to take up Qin Le's words.

In fact, Qin Le regretted it as soon as he said these words, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but now that the matter was at this point, he could only bite the bullet and continue.

"Anyway, I don't believe they dare to attack my Qin family."

Qin Le pretended to be calm and confident on the surface.

"If they really want to come, let them try!"

As soon as Qin Le finished saying this, a servant hurried into the private room with an extremely anxious look and behavior. He didn't have time to apologize, so he quickly walked to Qin Le's side and whispered.

"Sir, something happened in Miaoshanfang!"

Hearing this, Qin Le's complexion changed slightly.

Miaoshanfang is the largest property under his name, mainly engaged in some shady businesses, and it is also one of the main sources of his economy.

Where there is light, there is darkness.

Even in the main city of Taixu Palace, some gray industries still cannot be eliminated, and disciples of aristocratic families can make a lot of money by relying on their status and resources.

Of course, a real noble son would not bother to do such a thing, and only unworthy bastards like Qin Le would get involved.

Not long after, Qin Le left the room in a hurry.

The party continued without any impact from this episode.

"What's the origin of Anle? I've heard this person's name several times recently."

At this time, a woman asked.

This woman has a fair complexion, an oval face, slightly mature facial features, and is delicate yet powerful. She is taller than an ordinary man, and her legs are extremely slender. She is wrapped in black ice silk stockings to ward off evil spirits. She looks beautiful and attractive.

.

This kind of light and flimsy clothing is a trend that has emerged in Taixu Palace in recent years. It has attracted many female cultivators to pursue it, but there are very few who can wear it with such grace as this girl.

Seeing her opening her mouth, someone immediately responded: "Sister Yun, he is a new disciple who has joined the sect, and there seems to be some friction with Daoist Fellow Xia."

"That Anle was just a casual cultivator with no foundation before, but now he has joined Elder Gu's disciples."

"About his cultivation in the late stage of foundation building. I heard someone say that he had the nickname of 'Ghost Faced Man' before, and he came first in the trial ground of Yuntian Territory..."

In just a few words, a few people roughly described Anle's image and background.

With the ears and eyes of a member of a noble family, it is not difficult at all to find out this news.

However, their impressions were still about ten days ago, so their estimates of strength were naturally biased.

"I see."

The woman named Jiang Yun nodded and turned to look at Xia Jingnian: "Xiao Xia, since you have joined Taixu Palace, you should act according to the rules of the clan. Why do you still use the same tactics you used when competing with the Xia family?

?”

Everyone's expressions changed slightly, but no one dared to refute. Jiang Yun's status in their small circle was only matched by a few people.

After hearing this, Xia Jingnian's expression did not change and he smiled gently.

"Sister Yun has misunderstood. There is no rift between Daoist friend An and I. It's just other people's misunderstandings."

Jiang Yun looked at him deeply: "I hope so."

Soon, Xia Jingnian also left early on the grounds of "working hard to practice and break through the golden elixir as soon as possible". Before leaving, he received a lot of envious and flattering words.

Jiang Yun asked the people around her: "I heard that An Le was extremely beautiful. Has anyone seen it before?"

Others thought of Jiang Yun's past "accomplishments" and expressed strange expressions: "In terms of appearance alone, he is indeed... very extraordinary."

Jiang Yun nodded, her eyes showing interest.

****

The next day.

Qin Le came to the foot of Gujiashan.

However, his appearance at this time was completely different from the high-spirited and arrogant attitude yesterday.

His face was pale and withered, his eyes were bloodshot, as if he had suffered a huge blow.

Qin Le clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, feeling extremely aggrieved: 'How could I have fallen to this point?'

Not only is revenge from Zuo Yu coming, it's coming fast and hard!

Ever since the bad news of the Miaoshanfang accident came, Qin Le had not received a single piece of good news. Either there was an inexplicable problem with his property, or competitors within the family suddenly launched an attack to rob him of his original resources.

Some of the evil things he had done were exposed for unknown reasons.

Even the elders who were close to him in his original tribe suddenly changed their attitudes, as if they had given up on him.

In just one day, Qin Le felt like everyone was betrayed and alienated, and the whole world was his enemy.

And the cause of all this was actually just a small test of Anle?

'It's really...too cruel.'

'If I had known earlier, I...'

Qin Le's heart was filled with regret, and he paid the price for his youth.

He came here just to apologize to An Le and ask for a favor and let him go.

****

It didn't take long.

Looking at Qin Le who bowed deeply as he presented the treasure in front of him, An Le said coldly.

"I don't know what you're talking about, so please come back."

After Qin Le begged again and again, seeing An Le's eyes still colder than ice, he could only leave with grief and anger.

After he left, Anle thought curiously: 'What did senior brother and senior sister do to scare him like this?'

In fact, Anle really didn't know what happened to Qin Le.

Zuo Yu told him to practice cultivation with peace of mind and not to get involved in such trivial matters.

Although the Qin family is not that easy to mess with, the same cannot be said for just a young master of the Qin family. Under Zuo Yu's simple plans and pressure, Qin Le barely had any ability to fight back and was tricked to death.

Soon, Anle forgot about Qin Le and sighed in her heart.

"Having a reliable teacher makes me feel at ease."

It is conceivable that after this incident, there will undoubtedly be many fewer people who dare to trouble him.

"But...counting the time, that thing will happen soon."

During the deductions in the past few days, Anle learned an extremely important piece of information - Taixu Palace is about to usher in its second collective expedition!

Ever since the war broke out between Taixu Palace and the Great Tai Dynasty, real-time information has been delivered back every day.

The number of casualties and the frequency of battles are constantly increasing.

This means that this war is not just a simple friction and collision, as many people expected, and will soon stop.

Instead, it is expanding in scale, involving many areas of Taixu Palace in the war, and there is a vague trend of the war getting more intense.

In order to boost morale and replenish manpower, Taixu Palace recruited a group of monks to go out collectively.

With Anle still at the level of foundation building, it would certainly not be his turn to fight.

But his senior brothers and sisters must answer the call and go to the battlefield.

Due to hysteria, the senior brother needed to stay with the master, so he left.

Zuo Yu's Taoism was of great use on the battlefield, and was also taken away.

In the end, the only ones left behind in the Gujia Mountains were An Le and senior sister Ye Ling'er.

Ye Ling'er did not have as many friends as Zuo Yu, nor was she as deep-minded as Zuo Yu. She could not handle some situations so easily.

Zuo Yu probably heard the news in advance and took a heavy blow against Qin Le, intending to scare the monkeys and avoid unnecessary trouble.

"But there are always some crises that cannot be avoided."

Anle narrowed her eyes and felt a little heavy: "We still have to become stronger as soon as possible!"

"With a little more strength, you will have more confidence."
