Senior Zhong! Please don't misunderstand!

Once on board, Liu Nian couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

After all, the Yuhua Immortal Sect powerhouses who could come to the battlefield today were all elite powerhouses above Six Revolutions.

The ones beside his Master now were even the Sect Master and son of the Yuhua Immortal Sect, figures who stood at the Peak level in the entire Second Heaven.

Never having been surrounded by so many terrifying existences, even though they didn't intentionally release their Qi, the unintentional pressure still made Liu Nian feel a little breathless.

But looking at his Revered Master in front of him, Liu Nian still gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and bowed to the ground.

“Disciple Liu Nian greets Revered Master.”

Zhong Qing nodded: “Rise, in my sect, there’s no need for so many formalities.”

As he spoke, Liu Nian also sensed another gaze from beside Zhong Qing.

The owner of this gaze was none other than the Yuhua Immortal Sect’s Sect Master, Xu Qianfeng!

A Nine Revolutions Peak Pseudo-Immortal, the Revered Master of an Immortal Sect, a figure whose strength and status were among the very few in the Second Heaven!

Being watched by an existence of this level, just the gaze alone made Liu Nian feel immense pressure.

Xu Qianfeng was right there; if he spoke to persuade Revered Master, he might anger him, and with just a thought, the other party could make him vanish into thin air.

With the other party’s strength, even his voice transmission probably wouldn’t escape his ears.

Liu Nian gritted his teeth and said, “Revered Master, Disciple has something important to report, and I hope Revered Master can step aside for a moment.”

Zhong Qing raised his eyebrows: “Just say whatever you have to say here; your Revered Master is listening.”

Beside him, Xu Qianfeng also showed a slight smile and said, “Yes, there are no outsiders here. What can’t be said here?”

As his voice fell, he cautiously glanced at Zhong Qing.

His son was Zhong Qing’s Named Disciple, so his statement about there being no outsiders was theoretically correct, wasn’t it?

Seeing that Zhong Qing had no reaction, Xu Qianfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a hint of joy even unconsciously appeared on his face, feeling that he had successfully drawn a bit closer to this Immortal Zhong.

It must be that the bloody battle of my Yuhua Immortal Sect members played a role and was seen by Immortal Zhong.

But the subtle smile on his face, in Liu Nian’s eyes, sent a chill down his spine.

In his eyes, Xu Qianfeng’s smile looked deeply meaningful no matter how he looked at it.

Could it be that the other party had already guessed his intention?

It made sense; the venerable Sect Master of the Yuhua Immortal Sect, such a figure, having experienced so much, how could he not see through his small thoughts?

Liu Nian’s heart was ice cold, but thinking of the great kindness of Revered Master bestowing a Medicinal Pill and saving his son, a surge of hot blood immediately rushed to his head.

What was his life worth? If he could warn Revered Master, then even death would be worth it.

Anyway, he had already left the Nine Clouds Sect, and his son Liu Yun had also recovered; he had no other worries.

Thinking of this, Liu Nian mustered his courage and directly spoke via voice transmission.

“Revered Master! The Yuhua Immortal Sect is absolutely not sincere; they just want to use you, Old Ancestor, to deal with the Shangqing Immortal Sect! Their intentions are malicious; you, Old Ancestor, must not fall for their scheme!”

When he spoke this time, he had already resigned himself to death, thinking that as soon as he spoke, he might be directly killed by Xu Qianfeng.

Therefore, he spoke extremely quickly, pouring out all the words in his heart in one breath.

After speaking, he waited for the result with a mix of trepidation and composure.

Then, the atmosphere solidified.

At this moment, everyone on the boat, except for Zhong Qing and his few Disciples, had a change in expression.

Xu Qianfeng’s expression, as expected, changed.

It seemed his voice transmission indeed couldn’t escape his ears.

Right, one Nine Revolutions, one Five Revolutions; the gap between them was even greater than between a human and an ant. As long as Xu Qianfeng willed it, let alone hearing a voice transmission, he could probably even directly see through his thoughts.

However, what surprised Liu Nian a little was that the expression on Xu Qianfeng’s face at this moment didn’t seem like anger.

In Liu Nian’s eyes, it looked more like… panic!

That’s right, it was panic!

That high and mighty Revered Master of the Yuhua Immortal Sect, who was far more terrifying than even his Nine Clouds Sect Revered Master, was now looking at his Revered Master Zhong Qing beside him with a face full of panic, and even seemed to be trembling slightly.

Before Zhong Qing could say anything, he hurriedly began to argue.

“…This, Senior Zhong! It’s a misunderstanding! There must be some misunderstanding here.”

“What your Disciple said is absolutely not true. I, Xu Qianfeng, and my Yuhua Immortal Sect are all sincerely serving Senior. Now we are all one family, and even my son Song Nian has already become Senior’s Disciple. How could my Yuhua Immortal Sect have any ill intentions towards you, Senior? Please, Senior, see clearly!”

Seeing Xu Qianfeng start to argue, Liu Nian became angry and was about to retort, but before the words left his mouth, he realized something was wrong.

What did Xu Qianfeng say again?

What did he call his Revered Master?

Senior Zhong?

And what else… serving Senior?

Even with the mental state of a Five Revolutions Pseudo-Immortal, Liu Nian’s mind went blank at this moment, and he couldn’t recover for a long time.

This situation, why was it completely different from what he had imagined?

Unbeknownst to him, Xu Qianfeng’s heart was already in turmoil, and he nearly fainted from anger.

What nonsense is this? What do you mean my Yuhua Immortal Sect has malicious intentions? What do you mean we want to use Senior Zhong Qing?

Of course, it couldn’t be denied that he did have that tiny bit of thought: following Zhong Qing to destroy the Shangqing Immortal Sect would be of great benefit to his Yuhua Immortal Sect.

But heaven knows, it was really just that tiny bit.

The main reason was still wanting to build a relationship with Zhong Qing, and there was also his Old Ancestor’s decree.

Xu Qianfeng almost wished he could just slap this babbling old man to death.

If it weren’t for the fact that the other party also seemed to be Zhong Qing’s Named Disciple, he would have done so long ago.

That’s precisely what made it troublesome.

If someone else said this, he and Zhong Qing probably wouldn’t take it seriously and would just laugh it off.

But the one speaking was Zhong Qing’s Disciple.

This matter was serious.

What if Senior Zhong really misunderstood?

Xu Qianfeng frantically and with a dry mouth explained to Zhong Qing.

And Liu Nian was completely dumbfounded.

What was going on?

What about his Revered Master being deceived by the Yuhua Immortal Sect and wanting to be used as a tool?

As a result, this Yuhua Immortal Sect Revered Master, how could he act like a grandchild in front of his Revered Master?

Is this how you use someone?

Even if you wanted to show respect to gain favor, you wouldn’t do it like this, would you? He’s practically sold all his dignity.

Zhong Qing looked at the dumbfounded Liu Nian and the flustered Xu Qianfeng, and instead felt like laughing a little.

He suppressed the upward curve of his lips and said, “Liu Nian, what exactly happened? Who told you all this?”

Liu Nian recovered.

No matter how ignorant he was, he should have known by now that the situation was completely different from what he had imagined.

At this point, a doubt couldn’t help but rise in his heart.

“Could it be that Sect Master Meng was wrong?”
