7: Sect Leader, you don't want this to be known, right?
“Sect Master, this is bad! It’s, it’s haunted!”
A steward ran in, his face filled with panic.
“Why are you so flustered? What sort of behavior is this!” Sect Leader Mu Tiannan said displeased. “What ghost is haunting in broad daylight? Besides, there are no ghosts on the Xuan Yun Continent!”
Today was a great day, talking about ghosts was too unlucky!
The respective Peak Masters and Elders also looked displeased, their meal rhythm suddenly interrupted.
Fire Lie, the Peak Master of Lian Qi Peak, was as fiery as his name suggested. As soon as the Sect Master finished speaking, he also barked, “Steward Bai Pu, you’d better explain yourself, or I’ll beat you!”
In an instant, all eyes fell on Bai Pu, as if they wanted to devour him.
Bai Pu felt a chill in his heart from their stares, breaking out in a cold sweat. He swallowed, and stammered, “Sect Master,EveryonePeak Masters, Elders, it’s true, it’s really haunted!”
“Jiang Qingchen, I saw Jiang Qingchen! He’s back and heading this way!”
Upon hearing this!
“What?!”
Everyone was astonished.
How could this be? They had clearly felt Jiang Qingchen’s Qi disappear, and his soul lamp had gone out. How could he appear?
Could it be that he truly couldn’t rest in peace and was haunting them?
A ridiculous thought suddenly popped into Sect Leader Mu Tiannan’s mind, but he quickly dismissed it.
Compared to that idea, he was more inclined to believe Bai Pu was seeing things and had mistaken someone else!
He said, “Steward Bai, you must be exhausted lately and saw wrong, why don’t you…”
But before he could finish speaking, an angry voice came from the doorway.
“Sect Master, do you think there’s a possibility that he’s not dead?”
Sect Leader Mu Tiannan hadn’t noticed who had arrived and was about to dismiss it without thinking, “Impossible, he is definitely…”
Mid-sentence, he suddenly stopped. The voice seemed a bit familiar.
He then looked towards the doorway, and a figure in a dark Xuan Yun robe came into view. Although he was very young, he recognized him instantly.
“Damn it!”
Sect Leader Mu Tiannan was no longer composed and couldn’t help but exclaim.
He initially thought he had seen wrong, rubbing his eyes vigorously, but the facts proved he hadn’t!
Everyone looked over upon hearing the sound, dumbfounded, exchanging glances!
After a long while, they slowly came back to their senses.
Sect Leader Mu Tiannan looked depressed.
“Jiang Qingchen, you’re not dead? Then why haven’t we seen you on Wudao Peak all this time?”
When Jiang Qingchen’s Qi had disappeared, they had specifically sent people to investigate, only to find no trace of him on the entire Wudao Peak.
To be safe, they even had people search for a month before daring to conclude.
Jiang Qingchen was truly dead.
Then, they arranged the feast.
But they never expected.
Mid-feast, the original owner came back, alive and kicking!
Jiang Qingchen looked at Sect Leader Mu Tiannan, his face serious.
“It was too boring staying up there, so I went out for a stroll?”
Went out to play?
Nonsense, you haven’t descended the mountain once in decades, how could it be such a coincidence.
Sect Leader Mu Tiannan clearly didn’t believe him, pointing at his body and asking with doubt.
“Then how did you become like this?”
Everyone looked over curiously. Jiang Qingchen’s body was too young, and they wanted to know what had happened to him.
“Good luck, I just picked up a Longevity Medicinal Pill!”
Tsk~~
Everyone was speechless, not wanting to say another word to him.
There was not a single truth in this guy’s mouth!
A Longevity Medicinal Pill, a Medicinal Pill of Rank Six or higher, how could it be so easy to just pick one up?
Jiang Qingchen didn’t care about this at all, directly reaching out and shoving his hand in everyone’s faces.
“Hand it over!”
This action left everyone stunned, exchanging bewildered glances.
No, what does he mean by this, what does he mean?
Sect Leader Mu Tiannan frowned, thought for a moment, and then, as if he really didn’t know what the other party meant, quietly asked back, “Hand over what?”
“Alright, stop pretending. You all ate at my feast, where’s the gift money?”
Gift money?
Everyone immediately reacted, instantly cursing loudly.
Go to hell, shameless!
But before anyone could speak, Jiang Qingchen spoke with a mischievous grin.
“Hehe, Sect Master, you wouldn’t want everyone to know about this, would you!”
Instantly, everyone’s faces changed drastically!
“No, what do you mean!” Sect Leader Mu Tiannan roared, his face red.
This scoundrel actually dared to threaten him.
Outrageous, simply outrageous!
He was so angry his face flushed red, and his fists clenched, making cracking sounds!
“Jiang Qingchen, how dare you!” Fire Lie slammed his palm on the table, fuming with rage.
This brat was simply lawless.
The other Peak Masters also began to lose their composure, breaking down.
“Martial Nephew Jiang, you’re going too far!”
“Don’t think we wouldn’t dare to beat you!”
“You brat, can you be any more shameless?!”
Jiang Qingchen didn’t care at all, and threatened them.
“Hehe, you do the first, I do the fifteenth, that’s fair!”
“You say, if I spread this matter, and add fuel to the fire, saying that the Sect Master of Immortal Seeking Sect and the masters of each peak collected gift money under the guise of a feast? What do you think everyone would think?”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces changed drastically, gritting their teeth in anger.
Shameless, a shameless scoundrel!
If this rumor truly spread, they would lose all face and be looked down upon by all Disciples.
The most crucial point was this.
This guy really dared to say it!
At this moment, everyone was roaring furiously in their hearts.
This guy, shouldn’t he be dead?
Who can tell us, what went wrong in which step?
“Jiang… Qing… Chen, don’t force me to beat you!” Sect Leader Mu Tiannan gritted his teeth.
He felt he had never been so speechless in his life as he was today.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingchen’s smile vanished.
Threatening me?
You just wait!
He immediately pulled out a black notebook from his person, indignantly saying, “Sect Master, you forced my hand!”
Saying that, he was about to start writing in the notebook.
Sect Leader Mu Tiannan and the others’ faces instantly changed when they saw it, and they quickly exclaimed.
“Stop, you damn well stop!”
The other Elders’ faces were flushed red like pig livers, their back molars almost shattered, looking at the black notebook with apprehension.
This was a special Magical Artifact that Han Qianfan had specifically refined for Jiang Qingchen more than a hundred years ago before leaving the Sect, containing a trace of the Origin of all their Peak Masters and Elders.
This Magical Artifact was very sinister. As long as their names were written on it, then for the next few days, they would be incredibly unlucky.
They would trip when walking, choke when drinking water, fall into a pit when going to the toilet, and even uncontrollably fart in crowded places…
In short, it was very sinister, and all sorts of unlucky things could happen.
Although it didn’t threaten their lives, it had made them suffer greatly over the years. Whoever provoked him, once he wrote their name, that person would be unlucky!
The most crucial thing was that they couldn’t snatch this thing. Whoever dared to touch it would immediately become unlucky!
In addition, Jiang Qingchen held grudges very well.
This made everyone hate him to the core, but they were helpless against him.
As long as they dared to retaliate against him, what awaited them was even more intense bad luck!
This black notebook had clearly become Jiang Qingchen’s little book of grudges.
Since they couldn’t beat him, surely they could avoid him.
Sect Leader Mu Tiannan and the others’ idea was also very simple: just endure, endure until he died of old age!
And not long ago, good news finally arrived.
This scoundrel had finally died of old age, and everyone had reached the end of their endurance, so they happily started the feast!
As a result, they were happy for nothing, and everyone looked at Jiang Qingchen with a hint of resentment!
Especially when he pulled out the black notebook.
“Stop, it’s not impossible?”
“Hand it over!”
“I’m not a grudge-holding person!”
Jiang Qingchen extended his hand again, his meaning more than obvious!
Today, he was determined to get this gift money!
