Chapter 1695: Nipped in the bud

The owner of this cave is none other than Elder Ai, the chief elder of Danyunfeng Elders' House.

Elder Ai has profound seniority and status that far exceeds that of ordinary elders. Even the hall masters must treat him with courtesy when they see him.

At this moment, in Elder Ai's cave, there was not only Elder Ai, but also another old man - Hall Master Li, the person in charge of the affairs hall.

"Li Dong, you have made this matter too big now. It's difficult to take it back."

Elder Ai is a small, gray-haired old man with sharp eyes like a falcon. After listening to Li Dong's report, he shook his head and said.

He originally didn't agree with Li Dong using Dan Yunfeng's public opinion to mess with Su Chen, but since Li Dong was his favorite direct disciple, he turned a blind eye and allowed Li Dong to do it.

But he didn't expect that Li Dong's operation failed to achieve the expected goal. Instead, he was unable to get off the tiger and had no choice but to run to Elder Ai's cave for help.

"Brother Ai, you can't blame Dong'er for this. If you do, blame Su Chen for being too unruly. In any case, Dong'er, as the number one disciple in Tianzi District, should be respected, but Su Chen is No matter what, it’s no wonder Dong’er is angry about it.”

However, Hall Master Li disagreed with Elder Ai's words and spoke out to defend his grandson.

"Brother Li, what do you think we should do now? Let Li Dong challenge Su Chen in an alchemy competition? If Li Dong loses, his ten years of fame will be in vain."

Elder Ai said calmly.

"Well, after all, Hall Master Mu is still causing trouble there. If he hadn't strongly advocated for two alchemy positions among the four new positions in Tianzi District this time, Su Chen might not have been able to enter the Supreme Hall at all. District, there won’t be so many things.”

Hall Master Li sighed, but he blamed Hall Master Mu.

If Hall Master Mu was here, he would probably blow his beard and glare immediately. What does this have to do with him? Wasn't it Li Dong's fault?

"Brother Li, you are deceiving yourself and others when you say that. This time, even if Hall Master Mu doesn't advocate for the new position in Tianzi District, there will at least be an alchemy position. Su Chen got full marks in the alchemy competition. Even if there is only one position, it will be his, which means he will definitely enter the Tianzi District. "

Elder Ai also disapproved of Hall Master Li's "passing the blame" behavior, "I think that when the matter has developed to this point, it is not suitable for us as elders to intervene too much. Let the young people solve it by themselves. , the result depends on each person’s ability.”

"Brother Ai, the problem is that the current situation is already unfair to Dong'er!"

Hall Master Li was also anxious, "Dong'er is the number one person in Tianzi District. If he wins, no one will think anything of it, and it can't prove that Su Chen is a parallel import. But if Dong'er loses, he will definitely suffer It’s totally unfair.”

Elder Ai shook his head slightly, not agreeing with Hall Master Li's way of protecting the calf.

At that moment, Elder Ai did not continue to say anything to Hall Master Li, but turned to Li Dong.

"Li Dong, do you think it would be fair to you if you compete with Su Chen in Dan Dao?"

Elder Ai asked.

"I……"

Li Dong hesitated, not knowing what his master meant by asking this.

"Li Dong, my teacher has watched you grow up since I was a child. If you want to practice martial arts and learn alchemy, my teacher will give you my full support and teach you everything you can. Your talent is indeed great, but at the same time, don't forget Well, your origin and identity have also brought you great convenience. Your ability to reach this day is inseparable from your origin. Is this also a dissatisfaction for other disciples of Danyun Peak? fair?"

Elder Ai said, "So, if you complain about unfairness at this time, you will make me feel disappointed."

The face of Hall Master Li on the side changed slightly, and he opened his mouth to say something, but Elder Ai raised his hand to signal him not to speak, while still looking at Li Dong.

Li Dong was secretly awestruck. This time when he came to Elder Ai's cave, he actually came to seek help from Elder Ai.

But he didn't expect that Elder Ai would say such words to him. For a moment, Li Dong was a little at a loss.

"Master, this disciple still doesn't understand what you mean."

Li Dong whispered.

"Li Dong, your background is both an advantage and a disadvantage for you. You have had a smooth journey since childhood and have never encountered any setbacks. This is why you feel helpless when you encounter difficulties now. reason."

With that said, Elder Ai looked at Hall Master Li, "Brother Li, what do you mean?"

Hall Master Li's expression turned slightly grim. In fact, he was a little unhappy.

Because he didn't expect that Elder Ai, as Li Dong's master, didn't say anything when Li Dong targeted Su Chen in Tianzi District. But now Li Dong encountered a setback and came to Elder Ai to ask for advice. Elder Ai, as a master, grabbed his disciple and scolded him, without even saying he wanted to help him.

As for whether what Elder Ai said made sense, Hall Master Li didn't think about it. The only thing he cares about is that his grandson Li Dong's dominance in Tianzi District is threatened.
