Chapter 356: A Good Bird Chooses a Good Tree to Perch on
The resources for cultivating the Dharma world are limited. If one more sect joins, they will get less.
Needless to say, he didn't believe Lei Miaoyun was willing.
"Why hasn't that old guy Yu Shu come yet... How long have we been notifying him?"
Lin Xuantong coughed awkwardly and changed the subject.
Lei Miaoyun glanced at him with her beautiful eyes: "Yuxu Palace always comes in last in the qualifying rounds. He probably doesn't have the face to come, right?"
"Lei Miaoyun, who are you talking about?"
As the two were talking, a strong voice was heard, and then a burly old man stepped into the hall.
The old man had a handsome face and wore a Taoist robe, but his elegant temperament could not be concealed. However, the cold light that often flashed in his eyes betrayed him.
"You know best who I'm talking about."
Lei Miaoyun snorted coldly and ruthlessly exposed the other party.
"you!"
The old man suddenly became angry.
Lei Miaoyun didn't give him a chance to refute, and said directly: "Yuxu Palace is declining day by day, always coming in last. Am I wrong?"
Yu Shu's face flushed red with anger. He swung his robe sleeves, causing the teacup on the table to tremble slightly. "I think you're looking for a fight. Do you want a fight?"
"Can you beat me?"
Lei Miaoyun looked calm and composed, but the disdain in his eyes instantly made Master Yu Shu furious.
"How about giving it a try?"
"Just give it a try, who's afraid of who?"
Yu Shu roared angrily and took a step forward. A bright white aura of Taoism instantly surrounded his body. The runes on the beams and pillars in the hall were actually activated by this energy and glowed faintly.
He clenched his right hand into the air, and a long sword engraved with cloud patterns appeared out of thin air, the tip of the sword pointing directly at Lei Miaoyun: "Today, I will let you witness the power of Yuxu Palace's swordsmanship, so that you won't be ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth!"
Seeing this, Lei Miaoyun did not hesitate and jumped up from the couch. His black thunder robe fluttered without wind, and lightning crackled at his fingertips. In a blink of an eye, a purple thunder blade condensed.
A sneer appeared on her lips, and she quickly moved to an open area in the hall. "It's a good time to stretch my muscles. I haven't played for a long time. I wonder if I've made any progress."
Seeing the two men on the verge of a fight, Lin Xuantong hurriedly stood up and stood between them. His dark blue Taoist robe swelled like a sail, and his powerful spiritual energy spread out, forcibly separating the two men's auras. "Stop! You are both leaders of the three major Taoist sects. If you start a fight over such a small quarrel, won't you be laughed at?"
Yu Shu's chest was heaving, and the veins on his hand gripping the hilt of the sword were bulging. However, he knew that Lin Xuantong was right, but he still glared at Lei Miaoyun: "What a complacent bullshit!"
"So what if you're so proud?"
Lei Miaoyun sneered, but the lightning blade slowly dissipated: "You are not as skilled as others and you won't let them say anything?"
Lin Xuantong sighed helplessly, reached out and pressed down on Yu Shu's sword handle, then glanced at Lei Miaoyun, "Alright, alright, let's both take a step back. We haven't even come to a conclusion regarding Chao Yin Pavilion's appearance, and you're already making a scene. Brother Yu Shu, Miao Yun's words were inappropriate just now. I apologize on her behalf. Miao Yun, Brother Yu Shu is a senior after all, so you should be more reserved."
Yu Shu snorted coldly and finally put away his sword. The clear white Daoist aura gradually faded away. "For the sake of Sect Leader Lin, I will not argue with her today. But in the qualifying round, Yuxu Palace will definitely prove itself!"
Lei Miaoyun curled his lips, dissipated the lightning around him, and sat back on the couch: "I'll wait."
Seeing that the two had finally calmed down, Lin Xuantong breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to signal Yu Shu to sit down: "Now that everyone is here, let's get down to business and talk about Chaoyin Pavilion and Guixu Land."
"Not urgent!"
As soon as Yu Shu sat down, he picked up the teacup and took a big gulp, suppressing his anger. He did not mention the matter of Chaoyin Pavilion, but looked at Lei Miaoyun.
"Lei Miaoyun, I heard that not long ago you sent your disciples to Qingshi City... to search for the genius who triggered the Nine Thunders Initiation?"
He cared more about that genius than Chaoyin Pavilion.
It was obviously his own disciple who found the person first, but he was beaten to it by the people from the Divine Thunder Palace.
How could he not be angry?
After he finished speaking, Lin Xuantong couldn't help but look at Lei Miaoyun.
Of course he knew about this matter. He originally wanted to wait until the matter of Chaoyin Pavilion was discussed before asking, but now that Yu Shu asked, he did not stop him.
"Yes! Any questions?"
Lei Miaoyun remained expressionless, glanced at the two of them, and casually picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
"Big problem!"
Yu Shu spoke in a deep voice, his brows filled with gloom. "It was my Yuxu Palace that found that person first. Your Shenlei Palace disregarded morality and snatched him from my disciple. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Lei Miaoyun put down his teacup, glanced at him, and said calmly, "Confess? I've already told you that your disciple's skills are inferior to others, and you still don't admit it?"
"you!"
"What are you?"
Lei Miaoyun sneered, "You also said that he is a genius. Since he is a genius, of course he will choose the right tree to inhabit. A Taoist sect that always ranks last and a Taoist sect that always ranks first, even a fool would know how to choose, right?"
Yu Shu's face turned blue and red, and murderous intent surged in his old eyes. He wished he could kill the person in front of him with a sword.
But before he could lose his temper, he heard Lei Miaoyun continue, "Besides, if we talk about first come first served, it was Taixu Palace that found it first. What does it have to do with your Yuxu Palace?"
"What do you mean?" Yu Shu looked grim.
After Lu Beiyou returned, he only mentioned Murong Xue's kick, and did not mention anything about Taixu Palace.
Lei Miaoyun gave him a mocking look, then turned to Lin Xuantong: "Master Lin, tell me...was it your Taixu Palace that found Yun Chen first?"
Lin Xuantong's mouth twitched slightly. He just wanted to watch the show, but Lei Miaoyun actually pulled him in.
"Ahem...! That's right, I was indeed the one who found this person first, and Yun Chen and I have some feelings for each other. Logically, Yun Chen should enter my Taixu Palace."
Now that he was involved, he naturally couldn't let himself be at a disadvantage, so he gave this reason right at the beginning.
Although he made up the story about feelings, it can be seen from Lin Wan'er's attitude towards Yun Chen that this girl might... really have some feelings for Yun Chen.
After she came back, she kept begging him to save Yun Chen. She had never seen her daughter so attentive to any man before.
Lei Miaoyun was stunned, his eyes narrowed slightly, but his expression remained unchanged: "Master Lin, you can't say such things carelessly. If someone doesn't know, they might think my disciple is some scumbag who abandons her after having an affair with her."
Yun Chen had a relationship with Tianyuan Xuanfu, and Murong Xue had reported this to her, but she had not expected that he would be entangled with Lin Wan'er.
Lin Xuantong touched his nose and said with a hint of sarcasm, "I didn't say anything nonsense. Wan'er came back and told me that she and Yun Chen had secretly agreed to spend their lives together. She also said that the Divine Thunder Palace had captured him and asked me to rescue him."
He paused deliberately and looked at Lei Miaoyun. "Besides, a wise bird chooses its own tree to roost in. Although Taixu Palace may not be as consistently number one as Shenlei Palace, it's not inferior in terms of foundation. Logically speaking, he and my daughter have feelings for each other, so it's reasonable for Yunchen to choose us... But Miaoyun, you... forcibly kidnapped him. Doesn't that seem unreasonable?"
