Chapter 959: Distinguish between public and private matters

"Master, who is this boy from the Nether Demon Sect?"

"Is it actually worthy of your attention?"

After Zhou Yiqiao left, the elders in the hall immediately put away their expressions and looked at Qing Lietian on the first seat with curiosity.

Qing Huitian shook his head and smiled bitterly. Just when he was about to say something, a cold voice suddenly came from the side hall.

"Let Ji Meng answer this question on behalf of my father."

The elders looked in the direction of the voice and saw a cold and beautiful lady walking slowly towards them. She had a graceful and charming figure and was extremely beautiful, like a fairy from heaven descending to the mortal world.

When the elders saw the visitor, they all stood up and saluted the beautiful lady.

"I've met the eldest lady!"

"All the elders are the elders of Jingmeng, so there is no need to be so polite."

Qing Jimeng smiled sweetly and waved her hand.

"Miss, what is Mr. Zhou's origin?"

After all the elders sat down, Elder Qingmu could no longer bear it and asked again.

"He is an old friend of mine when I was in Yanzhou, and he is also a friend of Senior Brother Xu Hanchang."

For some unknown reason, the elders' pupils shrank the moment they heard Qing Jimeng say Xu Hanchang's name, as if they had heard some serious taboo.

"this......"

Among these people, Elder Qingmu, who had just accepted Zhou Yiqiao as his disciple, was the most surprised.

He stared at the owner of the manor Qing Lietian in a daze. After a long while, he suppressed the shock in his heart and complained to Qing Lietian.

"Master Manor Master, since Zhou Yiqiao is Xu Hanchang's friend, you still forcibly sent him to my Qingmu lineage. Isn't this harming us?"

After hearing what Elder Qingmu said, Qing Lietian was not angry, and even a faint smile appeared on his face.

"What are you talking about, Elder Qingmu?"

"We agreed at the beginning that no matter which branch of the villa is willing to take in Zhou Yiqiao, I will appropriately allocate resources to this branch."

"In other words, this is the result that Elder Qingmu himself fought for for the future of the Qingmu lineage."

"Master, you..."

Elder Qingmu obviously did not expect that Qing Lietian, the helmsman of the Holy Sect, would actually do such a shameless thing.

Feeling the teasing looks from the elders around him, Elder Qingmu had no choice but to grit his teeth and swallow the bitter pill for the time being.

"Now that the matter has come to this, my Aoki lineage will not refuse to shirk the blame."

"I just don't know whether the Qingmu lineage needs to continue with the series of targeted measures that the sect originally decided on."

Upon hearing Elder Qingmu's question, Qing Huitian did not answer, but turned his head again to look at Qing Jimeng beside him.

"You should also ask Meng'er this question."

"Because Meng'er is responsible for all of this."

Qing Huitian said with a serious face and a profound tone.

Hearing his father's words, Qing Jimeng nodded slightly.

"Don't worry, father. Meng'er has always kept it in mind and will never forget it."

When Elder Qingmu heard this, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

He seemed to realize that, for some unknown reason, the father and daughter Qing Lietian and Qing Jimeng thought highly of Zhou Yiqiao, who came from the Netherworld Demon Sect.

"Miss, since you are in charge of this matter, please give us your instructions on how the Qingmu clan should proceed."

Elder Qingmu looked at Qing Jimeng again and asked respectfully.

Hearing this, Qing Jimeng pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"Jimeng knows very well what Elder Qingmu is afraid of. This time, I came here just to give Elder Qingmu a reassurance."

"It's true that Ji Meng and Senior Brother Xu have an old relationship with each other at Zhou Yiqiao, but their personal friendship comes after the interests of the sect after all."

"After all, the matter of Zhou Yiqiao involves Qinjian Villa and the Netherworld Demon Sect. Elder Qingmu can safely target him. If he cannot withstand the test, Ji Meng and Brother will not take any revenge on the Qingmu lineage."

After Qing Jimeng's words fell, Elder Qingmu breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly stood up and bowed to Qing Jimeng.

"Young lady is wise, Aoki admires you."

"In that case, Qingmu will take his leave now. Master and Miss, rest assured that I will definitely complete the matters I promised the sect."

After saying this, Elder Qingmu turned around and left with many elders.

Qing Jimeng looked at the backs of Elder Qingmu and others as they left, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"Father, Elder Qingmu and the others don't seem to believe Ji Meng's words."

Qing Jimeng turned to look at Qing Huitian and said softly.

Qing Lietian heard this and shook his head.

"Of course. Unless it is Senior Brother Xu who personally comes forward to support Zhou Yiqiao, there is no way these old foxes will truly believe what we say."

Hearing his father's words, Qing Jimeng's face also showed a hint of bitterness.

"Father, to be honest, Ji Meng and this person are just ordinary friends. I can't see what it is about this person that has won the favor of Senior Brother Xu."

Qing Jimeng said with a frown.

She was also puzzled. Although she had crossed paths with Zhou Yiqiao several times when they were in Yanzhou, the relationship between them could only be regarded as an acquaintance, far from being a good relationship.

What's more, after leaving Yanzhou, Qing Jimeng never had any contact with Zhou Yiqiao again.

Why did Senior Brother Xu Hanchang suddenly value this disciple of the Nether Demon Sect so highly? He even specifically conveyed this intention to her through his father, Qinglitian.

"Lingmeng, my father also heard about the intersection between you and Zhou Yiqiao when they were in Yanzhou."

"To be honest, I also can't figure out what it is about Zhou Yiqiao that deserves your Senior Brother Xu's attention."

Qing Lietian also said with a puzzled look on his face.

"but......"

Having said that, Qing Lietian suddenly paused, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.

"Your senior brother Xu is not a human being. Since he said that this son will be of great help to our Qinjian Villa in the future, then we just have to do it."

"Lingmeng, remember, you should be very clear about your senior brother Xu's character."

Hearing this, Qing Jimeng nodded.

"Jimeng knows."

"Although Senior Brother Xu has a lazy personality, he never lies, nor does he lie without aim."

"Since he thinks so highly of Zhou Yiqiao, this person must have strengths that we cannot see."

Qing Jimeng murmured to himself.

"exactly."

Qing Lietian nodded.

"Father knows you are confused right now."

"But it doesn't matter. It won't be long before your Senior Brother Xu returns to the sect from the Heavenly World. If you have any questions, your father will ask him with you then."

"Ok!"

Qing Jimeng nodded slightly, and then the two fell into silence again.

After a while, Qing Lie Tiancai spoke again.

"Lingmeng, as a father, I still have things to deal with, so I won't accompany you."

"Also, if you have nothing else to do, go see your sister. She's been missing you a lot."
