Chapter 44: Trouble at the Door
Xie Chen walked out of the hall and shouted to the people around him: "Qiongqi."
"Here, what are your orders, master?" After hearing Xie Chen's words, Qiongqi, who was listening to Zhang Dong's story, immediately ran over.
Xie Chen said: "I have to go out today. During my absence, if anyone comes to see me, just ask them to wait. If they really can't wait, ask them to come back another day. Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, Master, I promise to complete the task." Qiongqi replied.
"Well, by the way, where is Hongyun, are you lazy?" Xie Chen nodded, and then asked about the whereabouts of the Hongyun ancestor.
"Hehe, don't worry, Master, he is sweeping the floor at the foot of the mountain now. This kid has been trained by me to be obedient. He won't even dare to fart even if I say a word." Qiongqi said with a bad smile.
Ancestor Hongyun has suffered a lot of torture from Qiongqi in the past two days. Not only does he have to clean the entire Zixiao Mountain and plant trees and flowers, but he also massages and pinches Qiongqi's legs every day. If he doesn't massage well, he will be spanked by Qiongqi. It's really... He has no human rights at all, and he almost cried with grievance. Fortunately, he can still bear these things at his level. If it were anyone else, he would have been dead.
Xie Chen felt relieved when he heard what Qiong Qi said, and then said to Zhang Dong beside him: "Zhang Dong, you come with me."
Zhang Dong looked at Xie Chen with wide eyes, a surprised expression on his face: "Ah, young master, can I go too?"
"Well, be happy." Xie Chen said with a smile. Just kidding, you are my bodyguard. If some blind guy offends me again, wouldn't it be embarrassing if I can't beat him? Even though he has the power of an immortal, But it is inevitable to accidentally injure other people. Besides, as the master of Tiandao Palace, he travels without an entourage, so it would be very disrespectful to be seen by others.
"Thank you, Master." Zhang Dong felt secretly happy.
He was very excited at this time. He was really tired of staying on Zixiao Mountain. Although the cultivation environment here was very good, after all, he was used to freedom before, and he still yearned for the outside world in his heart. Now he has the opportunity to go out. Naturally, I am very willing to go there.
...
Pingyang City.
Xie Chen and Zhang Dong were resting in an inn. At this time, Xie Chen put on a bronze mask on his face and sipped tea carefully. Suddenly, the conversation of the people at the table next to him came, which aroused his interest.
"Brother, you know, today is the wedding day of the daughter of the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect."
"So what? We can't attend."
"Hey, haven't you heard? The leader of Xiaoyao Sect personally announced this time that for this wedding, in addition to those from the major sects who have received invitations, the rest of the people who want to go but have not received invitations will also You can go to visit this wedding, and you don’t need to prepare any red envelopes. They will hold a banquet outside the sect, and those who don’t have invitations can also sit outside the sect.”
"No, how much does it cost? It's just a wedding. Aren't you afraid of draining his Xiaoyao Sect's family fortune?"
"I don't know. As far as I know, there will be a mysterious heavyweight guest on stage this time, who will definitely shock everyone's jaws."
"Oh? Could it be that the mysterious heavyweight guest is the Holy Son of the Holy Land or the prince of the dynasty?"
"I don't know. How about it? Do you want to go and see it together?"
"Go, why don't you go? Even if it's not for this mysterious guest, you still have to go for the free meal."
"..."
After hearing their conversation, Xie Chen thought to himself: Mu Sheng's wishful thinking was very loud. He was just trying to use his fame to enhance Xiaoyao Sect's status by creating such a big show. He didn't care. Anyway, I will be the one showing off when the time comes, so I can help them out by the way.
Xie Chen smiled slightly, put down his tea cup, and after paying the bill, he and Zhang Dong walked to Xiaoyao Sect.
...
Xiaoyao Sect.
At this time, the Xiaoyao Sect was already overcrowded. There were at least tens of thousands of tables of flowing seats outside the sect, and basically every table was full of people.
Most people were discussing who the mysterious guest mentioned by the leader of Xiaoyao Sect would be, but they basically guessed that they were all from the Holy Land Dynasty. No one thought about guessing in the direction of Tiandao Palace. You must know that the master of Tiandao Palace is right. To them, it was an existence like an immortal. Let alone the Xiaoyao Sect, even those from the Holy Land Dynasty could not possibly have the ability to invite the Master of the Tiandao Palace.
Xie Chen and Zhang Dong were overwhelmed when they saw the huge crowd. After a lot of effort, they finally arrived at the gate of Xiaoyao Sect. However, just when Xie Chen wanted to go in, he was guarded at the door. Xiaoyao Sect disciples stopped him.
One of the Xiaoyao Sect disciples said: "Hello, this guest, please show your invitation."
Xie Chen was stunned when he heard this. Invitation? Mu Sheng didn't give me an invitation when she came, so she said to the disciple: "No, but I was personally invited by your sect master to attend the wedding. If you don't believe it, you can go and tell your sect master, and then you can Understood."
Seeing that Xie Chen couldn't bring out the invitation, the Xiaoyao Sect disciple looked a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, guest. If you don't have an invitation, I can't let you in. You can sit outside."
After hearing this, before Xie Chen said anything, Zhang Dong beside him immediately became furious: "I said you little kid can't understand people, right? Didn't you hear my young master say that your sect leader personally invited you? , hurry in and report to your sect leader, and ask him to come out to greet you, otherwise you will be rewarded. "
When the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect heard this, their faces became gloomy: "Old gentleman, today is a happy day for our sect. If you are here to congratulate us, we welcome you. If you don't have an invitation, you can sit outside, but if you are If you come to cause trouble, don’t blame us for being rude.”
"Haha, okay, old man, I want to see how you are going to be rude to me." Zhang Dong laughed angrily at the disciple's words, and then released a trace of breath, and a strong wind suddenly blew around him.
Seeing that the situation was not good, this disciple immediately said to another Xiaoyao Sect disciple: "Hurry in and report to the sect leader that someone is causing trouble."
"Okay." After saying that, the disciple hurriedly ran towards the sect.
At this time, Mu Sheng was greeting people from various sects who came to congratulate him with a proud look on his face.
"Brother Mu, congratulations on your daughter's marriage today."
"Thank you, thank you very much."
Facing everyone who congratulated them, Mu Sheng thanked them one by one.
"Brother Mu, can you reveal who the mysterious guest is today?" One of the sect leaders couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Yes, Brother Mu, just tell us."
"yes..."
The rest of the people also agreed one by one.
After hearing this, Mu Sheng laughed and said: "Hahahaha, don't worry, everyone, you will know it soon. All I can say is that his identity is definitely beyond your imagination."
At this moment, a Xiaoyao Sect disciple hurried in.
Xie Chen walked out of the hall and shouted to the people around him: "Qiongqi."
"Here, what are your orders, master?" After hearing Xie Chen's words, Qiongqi, who was listening to Zhang Dong's story, immediately ran over.
Xie Chen said: "I have to go out today. During my absence, if anyone comes to see me, just ask them to wait. If they really can't wait, ask them to come back another day. Do you understand?"

Xiaoyao Sect.

Most people were discussing who the mysterious guest mentioned by the leader of Xiaoyao Sect would be, but basically everyone guessed that it was someone from the Holy Land Dynasty. No one thought of guessing in the direction of Tiandao Hall. You know, the leader of Tiandao Hall is like an immortal to them. Not to mention Xiaoyao Sect, even those people from the Holy Land Dynasty would not be able to invite the leader of Tiandao Hall.
Xie Chen and Zhang Dong were overwhelmed by the huge crowds of people. They finally arrived at the gate of Xiaoyao Sect with great effort. However, just when Xie Chen was about to go in, he was stopped by the Xiaoyao Sect disciples guarding the door.
One of the Xiaoyao Sect disciples said, "Hello, guest, please show me your invitation."

If you don't believe me, you can go and tell your sect master, and you will understand when the time comes."
The Xiaoyao Sect disciple saw that Xie Chen couldn't produce an invitation, and his face became a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, guest, if there is no invitation, I can't let you in, you can sit outside."
After hearing this, before Xie Chen said anything, Zhang Dong next to him immediately became furious: "I said, you little kid, you don't understand what people say, don't you hear my master say that it's you The sect master personally invited you. Hurry up and report to your sect master and ask him to come out to greet you. Otherwise, you will suffer the consequences. "
When the Xiaoyao Sect disciple heard this, his face became gloomy: "This old man, today is a big day for our sect. If you come to congratulate us, we welcome you. If you don't have an invitation, you can sit outside. But if you come to make trouble, don't blame us for being rude. "
"Haha, okay, the old man wants to see how you are going to be rude to me." Zhang Dong was amused by the disciple's words, and then released a trace of breath, and a strong wind blew around him instantly.
The disciple saw that the situation was not good, and immediately said to another Xiaoyao Sect disciple: "Hurry up and report to the sect master, and say that someone is making trouble."
"Okay." After saying that, the disciple hurriedly ran to the sect.
At this time, Mu Sheng was greeting the people from various sects who came to congratulate him with a proud face.
"Brother Mu, congratulations on your daughter's marriage today."
"Thank you, thank you."
Facing the people who congratulated him, Mu Sheng thanked them one by one.
"Brother Mu, can you tell us who the mysterious guest is today?" One of the sect leaders couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Yes, Brother Mu, just tell us."
"Yes..."
The others also echoed one by one.
After hearing this, Mu Sheng laughed and said, "Hahahaha, don't worry, you will know it soon. All I can say is that his identity is definitely beyond your imagination."
Just then, a disciple of Xiaoyao Sect ran in hurriedly.
