Hongmei Villa, a remote courtyard.
The old butler, who was nearly eighty years old, walked in personally carrying a plate of sumptuous food.
Pushing open the door, a boy who looked like he was only seventeen or eighteen years old and looked very much like a certain Su named Su in Lin Yifan's previous life came over.
"Old housekeeper, your master hasn't come back yet?"
Zhang Wuji asked.
He has asked this question dozens of times, and the answer is the same every time - not coming back.
He thought it would be the same this time, but he never expected to hear a different answer.
"Sir, this old slave is here to tell you that my master will be back in half an hour. Please wait for a moment. The master has written back and said that he will answer all your questions."
After saying that, the old butler didn't say anything else, put down the food and then retreated.
Zhang Wuji stayed in the room, looking at the fragrant food, but he couldn't bring up the slightest appetite.
Just ten days ago, Zhang Wuji just came out of the mountains and came to a garden full of peach trees.
As soon as I picked a few peaches to eat, I was knocked to the ground by several vicious dogs.
In desperation, he shot and killed a vicious dog, but also attracted the owner of the vicious dog.
Zhang Wuji still remembers that she was as beautiful as a fairy.
Her temperament is like blue, her skin is like snow, and every move she makes is as smart and cute as a fairy in the sky.
It's just that he suddenly overworked his luck and fainted after seeing the fairy.
Then, something strange happened.
After Zhang Wuji woke up, he found himself in a very remote courtyard. An old housekeeper who looked to be in his seventies or eighties said that his master had expected Zhang Wuji to appear here.
His master asked Zhang Wuji to stay in the yard and wait for him to come back, and also gave Zhang Wuji a letter.
The content of the letter is very simple. The summary is that the owner of the letter knows that he is Zhang Wuji and tells him not to use his name in the world at this moment, otherwise it will bring a catastrophe to the martial arts world.
Zhang Wuji didn't believe it at first. It was ridiculous to be able to predict that he would appear here in advance.
He actually predicted that he would cause a martial arts catastrophe!
Why not say that he will become the leader of the Ming Cult in the future?
Just one letter and you want him to stay in a courtyard without moving. Isn't this a joke?
However, when he first saw a curl of golden hair inside the envelope, Zhang Wuji immediately lost his composure.
After following his adoptive father for decades, how could he not recognize that it was the hair of Xie Xun, the golden retriever lion king?
Therefore, for the safety of his adoptive father Xie Xun, Zhang Wuji chose to stay and, as the owner of the envelope said, he never left the small courtyard.
For ten days, I didn't see anyone except the old housekeeper.
Not to mention the fairy-like woman.
Fortunately, although I couldn't leave the yard, there was no shortage of food and various daily necessities.
In less than ten days, Zhang Wuji felt like he had gained several pounds.
"Why don't you eat such a good meal? Are you afraid that I will poison you?"
Just when Zhang Wuji was still thinking about what questions he should ask after meeting for a while, a strange voice suddenly sounded, pulling him out of his deep thoughts.
Looking along the sound, to Zhang Wuji's expectation, he saw a young man who looked about the same age as him.
Confident, sunny and handsome!
He looks very friendly.
"Are you the owner of this villa?" Zhang Wuji asked doubtfully.
In his expectation, if the owner of this villa is not a gray-haired old man, he is at least a middle-aged man!
How could he be a young man!
Seeing Zhang Wuji's disappointed expression, Lin Yifan thought for a moment and immediately guessed what he was thinking: "Strictly speaking, I am not the owner of this villa, my wife is, but the one who wrote you that letter is indeed it's me!"
After saying that, Lin Yifan stepped forward with a smile and clasped his fists in salute: "I am Lin Yifan, now the elder of the Emei Sect and the leader of the martial arts alliance of the six sects in the Central Plains. I made Mr. Zhang laugh!"
While talking, Lin Yifan also lamented his good luck. The secret trick he came here to arrange last time actually worked.
As early as the last time he came back from Guangmingding and passed by Lianshan Villa, he gave Zhang Wuji's portrait to the old housekeeper.
Ask him to send more people around the villa. Once Zhang Wuji is discovered, he will report it immediately, and he will rush back immediately.
Zhang Wuji's identity is too sensitive and he must not appear at this time.
Otherwise he will ruin many of Lin Yifan's plans.
Fortunately, the original arrangement worked, and Lin Yifan finally rushed back before Zhang Wuji revealed his identity.
……
Emei sent a guest elder?
The leader of the martial arts alliance who leads the six sects?
Zhang Wuji was stunned and couldn't react for a moment. He even wondered if he heard it wrong.
Have the current six sects become so weak?
He actually asked a young man to be the leader of the martial arts alliance!
There is something indescribably weird about Zhang Wuji, a boy of the same age named Lin Yifan.
Not only does he know his identity, he also knows where he will appear after leaving the valley, and how does he have the hair of his adoptive father?
Why is he already the leader of the martial arts alliance at such a young age?
And what about the martial arts catastrophe he mentioned?
There were so many questions that Zhang Wuji wanted to ask at this moment, and he didn't know where to start.
"Leader Lin, may I ask where my adoptive father is? Is he dead or alive? How come you have my adoptive father's hair? Please let me know, Leader Lin. Zhang Wuji is grateful!"
In the end, he decided to start by asking about his adoptive father's safety.
Hearing this, Lin Yifan did not answer immediately. Instead, he walked to the table next to Zhang Wuji, sat down, and said in a calm tone:
"Master Zhang, don't be nervous. Xie Xun is safe. I have brought him back from Binghuo Island. Now I will receive blessings at Guangmingding. If Master Zhang is still not at ease, it will be a great opportunity for me to take over as the leader of the Ming Cult and get married at the same time in three months. Someday, I can take you there to have a look.
I believe that Mr. Xie would also like to see you, and your grandpa Yin Tianzheng will also attend my wedding and takeover ceremony! "
"Okay! Thank you, Leader Lin!"
Zhang Wuji was so excited that he almost cried when he heard that he could see his adoptive father and grandfather whom he had not seen for many years.
For many years, he hid alone in the nameless valley to heal his wounds. Those lonely and empty days were really sad.
Huh?
etc……
While being happy, Zhang Wuji finally recalled that Lin Yifan seemed to have said that he wanted to be the leader of the Ming Cult!
Isn't he the leader of the martial arts alliance who leads the six sects?
Why is he the leader of the Ming Cult again?
Could it be that in the past few years when he was recovering from his injuries, the six sects had made peace with the Mingjiao?
