Chapter 689: No Cries of Grief

Chapter 689: There was no mourning

Not long after, Zhang Xiaohua and Li Chengxiu met the carriage coming down the mountain. Zhang Xiaohua did not refuse and got on the carriage, still looking sick.

On Baiyue Peak, everything in Tuodan Hall was the same as before. There was absolutely no mourning as Zhang Xiaohua imagined. Every disciple he met was in a hurry, and he didn't even look at Zhang Xiaohua in the carriage. , it seemed like nothing happened at all.

When the carriage arrived at Baicao Hall, Zhang Xiaohua got off the carriage, and Li Chengxiu said with a smile: "Junior brother Ren, just wait here, I will go and inform you. The hall master will definitely give you a reward later."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled slightly and said, "I hope so."

Li Chengxiu turned around and entered the courtyard.

In the Baicao Hall, the old man Purple Ginseng was drinking tea with a frown on his face. He seemed to have some difficult matter to resolve. Hearing someone complaining, he casually called in.

Li Chengxiu entered the room and said respectfully: "Congratulations, Lord Hall Master, another disciple of our Tuodan Hall who participated in Orchid Dusk Refining has returned safely."

"Huh?" The old man Zigeng was stunned, raised his brows and said, "This guy is lucky enough to come back alive? I thought there were only eight of them. Oh, what kind of spiritual grass did he bring back?"

"This..." Li Chengxiu hesitated and said, "This disciple was seriously injured and was escorted back by the disciples of Wu Ming Hall. It seems that... he did not bring back this carriage, this spiritual grass..."

After hearing this, Old Man Purple Ginseng said with a sneer, "Hey," "Since we didn't collect any spiritual herbs, that means we haven't completed the task of the trial. In the past, we would have to be punished, but this time it's different. We can escape with our lives." Even if it’s good, there will be no punishment. Just go ahead and let him go back early to recover his health.”

Then, he waved his hand to send Li Chengxiu out.

Li Chengxiu was a little anxious and said: "This... Hall Master, this disciple is Ren Xiaoyao from Tianmu Peak."

"Tianmu Peak? Ren Xiaoyao?" Old Zi Shen was startled and said displeasedly: "Is he famous? Isn't he Chen Fengxiao's subordinate? Do I need to know him? Chen Fengxiao is lucky to be alive. All nine of them are from Tianmu Peak..."

"Huh? Ren Xiaoyao... seems to have some impression..."

The old man Zi Shen looked at Li Chengxiu and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. I forgive you."

Li Chengxiu cupped his hands and said: "Lord Master, this Ren Xiaoyao is the Ren Xiaoyao whom Lu Chaoxian and other eight people said he escaped from the Orchid Grand Canyon last time."

"Ouch!" Old Man Purple Ginseng slapped his bare forehead,

He smiled and said, "I just thought about it. Isn't this Xiaoyao's name the quasi-aunt-in-law recruited from Huichun Valley this year? I said it sounded so familiar before. How could he go to Orchid Grand Canyon?"

Immediately, he changed his face and said: "Well, I thought he was an ordinary disciple. Since he could sacrifice his life to save the other disciples, regardless of his martial arts skills, his character is also good. He is a loyal disciple of our Tuo Dan Hall. , deserves commendation... Oh, please call him in first, and I will ask."

Li Chengxiu wiped the sweat from his head, lowered his head and went out, calling Zhang Xiaohua in.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua walk in, the old man Zi Shen stood up slowly and said with a smile: "Ren Xiaoyao, you are very good."

Zhang Xiaohua quickly bowed and saluted: "I have met the hall master."

"You're welcome." Old Man Zigeng nodded, pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down. Normally, I am an old friend of Valley Master Nie of Huichun Valley. You have been here to spread the incense religion for a long time, but I haven't had a chance to see you."

Zhang Xiaohua did not dare to be careless and lowered her head and said: "I am now a disciple of the Tuo Dan Hall, a subordinate of the master of the hall. I don't dare to think about anything else."

The old man Zi Shen was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Okay, Ren Xiaoyao, I like to hear what you say. I have been reluctant to see you. This is also one of my scruples. I hope you can understand. Well, you'd better sit down." Come on, this 'Orchid Dusk Trial' is really not easy for you. Now you have been seriously injured. If you don't give me a seat in Baicao Hall, won't it be a chill for the brothers who will go to the Valley for trial in the future?"

Zhang Xiaohua whispered: "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful. Thank you, Lord Hall Master."

After saying that, he coughed twice more, and some blood flowed out.

When the old man Zi Shen saw him, he was not only slightly moved, but also asked: "How is my nephew's injury?"

Zhang Xiaohua said quickly: "It doesn't matter, I will raise it for a few months and there should be no problem."

The old man Zi Shen waved his hand and said to the disciple standing next to him: "Go and get a bottle of the 'Blood Coagulation Pill', 'Blood Replenishing Pill' and other healing elixirs in the hall, and bring them to Ren Xiaoyao."

The disciple followed the order and left, Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "I have just finished using the medicine for my injury, so I would like to thank the hall master for the generous gift."

The old man with purple ginseng smiled and said: "It's okay, but when you talk about it, I want to talk about you. I just heard that you won a lot of elixirs at Tianmu Peak. Why did you change them to medicinal herbs? Wait a minute. How can I do a business that is losing money?”

Zhang Xiaohua said "ashamedly": "I have just come here. I have never seen so many medicinal herbs. I was so surprised that I couldn't help but change it. Now I know that I regret it. If I had visited the hall master earlier and got his advice, what would I do?" Can you do such a stupid thing?"

Old Man Purple Ginseng laughed and said: "You just came to Tuodan Hall, why did you suddenly go to Youlan Grand Canyon to participate in Youlan Dusk Refining?"

Zhang Xiaohua shook his head and said: "I don't know about this little one. He just said that I was on the list and I went."

"Oh." Old Man Zi Shen nodded: "I guess Deputy Hall Master Xu sent you there because he knew about your strong martial arts skills. Haha, it's also thanks to Deputy Hall Master Xu's discerning eye, otherwise our Tuo Dan Hall would have been completely wiped out, not even one person. None of the disciples can get out."

Then he smiled and said: "I heard from Lu Chaoxian and others that they were able to escape with their lives by following you to collect the century-old 'Ice Soul Grass'. I wonder if you have completed the task assigned by Deputy Hall Master Xu?"

Zhang Xiaohua's heart moved, and then she felt "panic". She quickly stood up and said, "I'm incompetent. I searched for it for a long time but couldn't find it. I wanted to go to pick it in a distant place, but there was a big change, and I didn't dare to do it." No matter how far we go, I just want to come out of the valley with the brothers, but I can't complete the order of Deputy Hall Master Xu. I will go to Deputy Hall Master Xu to apologize after I am healed. "

"That's not necessary." The old man with purple ginseng took care of everything and said, "Although you failed to collect the century-old ice soul grass, you saved several carts of herbs from my Tuo Dan Hall, which can be regarded as a crime. Vice-Tang Xu is mainly looking for you, so he just said it was me and there is no need to punish him. "

Zhang Xiaohua smiled lightly and said: "Vice-Tang Xu is mainly looking for the younger one. The younger one will definitely tell him."

Although the smile was gentle, Zhang Xiaohua was disdainful in her heart. Deputy Hall Master Xu dared to instruct Lu Lihong to kill him. How could she make him feel better?

"Yes." The old man Zi Shen took a sip of tea. At this time, the disciples in the hall also brought several bottles of elixirs. Zhang Xiaohua put them in his arms and expressed his sincere gratitude to the old man Zi Shen.

Old Man Purple Ginseng was very satisfied with Zhang Xiaohua’s attitude, and kindly asked Zhang Xiaohua about the process of his escape. Of course, Zhang Xiaohua told the story he had made up. Anyway, he knew that no matter what, Old Man Purple Ginseng He wouldn't ask Zhang Xiaohu for confirmation. Besides, looking at the appearance of Tuo Dan Hall, he didn't take the loss of five hundred disciples to heart at all. Even the disciples of Wu Ming Hall were working hard for an inner disciple whose identity he didn't know. How could you miss yourself when you are running around?

Sure enough, the old man Zi Shen also listened casually, but when he heard about Piaomiao Hall, his eyes lit up and he asked: "Disciples of Piaomiao Hall? They rescued you? Oh, they also rescued an inner disciple. ?”

Zhang Xiaohua said puzzledly: "Yes, when I woke up, there were only three Piaomiao Hall disciples, and there was no one else around. It must be them. Moreover, when they rescued the inner disciple, Xiao was... What I saw with my own eyes is what they said about the female disciple, but I don’t know anything about it.”

"So, what do you think of these disciples' attitudes towards you?"

Zhang Xiaohua was even more stunned and said cautiously: "It's okay. Although he didn't say much, he was still polite. He helped me save my life. How can I be picky? I still thought about waiting. After a few months, I have recovered from my injuries and am going to Shixin Peak to express my gratitude."

"Hahaha" the old man Zigeng said with a smile: "Your idea is good, but it is a little difficult to implement. Even if I want to go to Shixin Peak, I still need the consent of Yixiang Peak."

Zhang Xiaohua looked guilty and said, "Then I can only wish them good luck."

Old Man Purple Ginseng stared at Zhang Xiaohua for a long time, and seemed to have made a decision, even with a smile on his face, and said: "Okay, Ren Xiaoyao, it's not easy for you either. Although you didn't pick the herbs, you saved eight people. His life, oh, I almost forgot, there is also the life of an inner sect alchemy disciple, and he brought back four carriages of herbs to Tuodan Hall. He can be regarded as the number one contributor to this 'Orchid Dusk Refining', not to mention others. , if I, the Tuodan Hall, don’t reward you, it will make the brothers below feel disappointed. You can go down and recover well. After some time, I will arrange an errand for you, just think of it as a reward for you."

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and said: "Don't dare to be criticized by the hall master, it's what you should do."

"Okay, you don't need to say more. Let's go to Tianmu Peak as soon as possible. Taking good care of your body is the most important thing."

Old Man Purple Ginseng looked unhappy and said: "Clear rewards and punishments are fundamental to my life. Since you can make meritorious deeds, I will reward you."

Zhang Xiaohua immediately stood up and said respectfully: "Thank you, Lord Hall Master."

Old Man Purple Ginseng smiled, waved his hand and asked Zhang Xiaohua to leave. Then he picked up the tea bowl and took a sip happily, as if he had solved a very important matter.

Waiting for Zhang Xiaohua to sit in the carriage, Bai Yuefeng immediately entered an exquisite small house. Vice Hall Master Xu looked at the person in front of the hall in surprise and said, "Are you sure? That Ren Xiaoyao actually came back alive?"

The disciple nodded and said, "That's right. According to Li Chengxiu who was on duty at the peak today, he has already escorted Ren Xiaoyao back to Tianmu Peak."
