The Otherworldly God

Chapter 305

When they passed by, Gongsun Shouli and Gongsun Zhan were about to leave, but after seeing Le Zheng Yuhua, they stayed instead.

Le Zheng Yuhua walked to Le Zheng Qin respectfully, knelt on both knees, bowed his head, clasped his hands together, and said in a loud and respectful voice: "Le Zheng Yuhua, I pay my respects to the head of the family!"

Le Zhengzhi bowed to the pillar and said, "Brother, are you all right? I see you look taller, but you are thinner. It's not easy to be the head of a family! Especially when there are so many disobedient people and there are so many gossips outside. I am so tired and sad."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Why are you coughing again? This won't do. I have to go back and ask Bai Zhi to prepare some medicine for you."

Without waiting for Le Zhengqin to speak, he turned around and was about to leave. At Le Zhengqin's signal, Le Zhenghongjun wanted to help him leave, but Le Zhengzhi would never let him succeed.

So, Le Zhengzhi deliberately pretended to go in the wrong direction, turned around and stumbled in front of Gongsun Shouli, who hurriedly stood up and helped him sit down.

"This young man is not bad, he looks familiar, is it Hongjun? Not really, how come Hongjun is thinner than you, this is not good, brother."

"Master Zhi, this is the junior Gongsun Shouli."

"Gongsun? Oh, Gongsun Shouli? I recognize her, I recognize her. How are you, Madam?"

This sentence was so hurtful that even the envoy of the Taoist Alliance came out to rebuke Le Zhengzhi on his behalf.

"Master Zhi, are you confused? This is really misleading your disciples. Not to mention being a master, even a Taoist priest would not be able to do this, right? No wonder your three disciples are so arrogant. You can't control them like this, right? Why don't you hand them over to Fengwu City?"

Gongsun Shouli didn't want them to quarrel, and was about to speak, but Le Zhengzhi stood up and pointed at him and retorted: "Bullshit, you are full of benevolence and morality, but you are a mean person without any benevolence. Don't think I don't know, you are just jealous of me having such obedient disciples, don't you want to take them away?"

The other party was about to refute, but Le Zhengzhi did not give him a chance and continued: "You all looked down on me at the beginning, but now you think I'm good and want me? That doesn't make sense, I tell you.

You senior brothers, please don't blame me for being outspoken. Let me ask you, didn't you all want them at the beginning? Now, oh, I have raised them famous, and you want to snatch them away from me just by putting a hat on them. It's impossible.

You tried to snatch my apprentice's wife, ignoring the fact that she just lost her husband, and forced her to her doorstep. Now you are back and you are planning to uproot her. I will make this clear today. If anyone dares to take advantage of my apprentice or his wife again, don't blame me for being rude. Even if my senior brother intervenes, it will be useless."

I thought he was really confused and recognized the wrong person, and it would be a waste of words to say anything, but if I didn't say anything, I would feel like I was being scolded for nothing.

"What about me?" Le Zhengfang arrived at the right time, bowed and motioned Le Zhengying to come over. Le Zhengzhi immediately became timid, "Just now I heard Ying'er say that he was drunk, and I knew something would happen. Brother, you don't blame me for coming uninvited, right?"

In fact, Le Zhengqin was hoping that Le Zhengzhi would make a scene, which would be more effective than anyone else stepping forward, but he pretended that he couldn't stand it anymore.

"I warned him repeatedly not to come or not to drink, but now he is gone. He has lost face in front of the two Gongsuns, but that's fine. He also mistook the envoy from Fengwu City for our Le Zheng's master and exposed all the shameful things. As the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public. What should I do now?"

It seemed that Le Zhengqin pulled Le Zhengfang aside to reprimand her, but in fact he did it on purpose to let them hear it.

"We shouldn't have bypassed Master. I mentioned this a long time ago. Otherwise, why would it have been delayed until today, so suddenly?"

"Then don't let him drink it."

"Even Bai Zhi can't do anything about it. You're making me..."

"Alright, alright, now that things have come to this, go and apologize to them yourself."

"Ah, who made me your senior brother?"

"you……"

Le Zhengfang turned around, poured tea for them personally, and then apologized to them with tea instead of wine.

“Don’t be surprised, Master Zhi suffered a misfortune in his early years, and since then he has developed a bad habit of drinking and talking nonsense. Therefore, not only has his title of Taoist priest been meaningless over the years, but no disciples are willing to follow him.

So, I treasured these three apprentices. I couldn't bear to hear other people talking about them, and I was even more worried that they would be snatched away by others. So, anything related to my apprentices was very important to me.

Alas, when he was trying to get his eldest disciple married, he made a fuss with me in the middle of the night and insisted that I give them Fangyuan as their new home. He made me fuss for several nights and even made me sick.

Later I thought that money was not my own property, and my life was more important, so I lent it to them. Although I said it was a loan, this guy was determined to take it for free, and I really had no choice.

We are used to it, but we didn't expect to be so rude to the guests this time. It's really our fault. Here, I will use tea instead of wine to apologize to you all."

Le Zhengqin frowned. He didn't expect that she would take advantage of the opportunity to clear herself from all this.

Gongsun Shouli accepted the apology, so it was difficult for others to say anything.

"I've been away for a long time, and I'm afraid my father will worry about me, so I came here today to say goodbye."

"How many more days?"

"Thank you, Aunt Fang. I won't bother you any more. But I haven't had a chance to talk to Master Yuhua. Could you give me some time to chat in private?"

Although Le Zheng Qin also wanted to know something, he thought that there was still a long time to come, so he might as well do a favor now, and he also hoped that Le Zheng Yuhua could handle the matter well.

"Master Shouli, look at my junior brother. Yuhua is his disciple. I'm afraid..."

"Master Yuhua and I are old acquaintances, so we can be considered friends, right? I know him well."

"In that case, I can't stop you. Hongjun, you follow me. If Master Shouli needs anything, do your best to satisfy him."

Gongsun Shouli knew that he wanted Le Zheng Hongjun to be his eyes and ears, so he did not refuse. Instead, he bowed and thanked him, "Master Qin, you are too polite."

Gongsun Shouli made a gesture of invitation. He was trying to see if Le Zheng Yuhua was willing to chat with him privately. After all, what happened with Mu Xin just now.

Le Zheng Yuhua knew about Yin Li and him, and also learned some things from Mu Xin. He felt more sympathetic towards Gongsun Shouli.

"Please come in, Master Shouli."

Seeing that he agreed, Gongsun Shouli breathed a sigh of relief temporarily.

After leaving Le Zhengqin's yard, the two of them strolled on the road, with Le Zheng Hongjun following behind them, and they were silent for a while.

After an unknown amount of time, Gongsun Shouli finally apologized: "I took advantage of the situation in Heilin. Please forgive me, Master Yuhua."

"The journey to the Black Forest is full of difficulties, and life and death are unpredictable. If a hundred people think that they will die, it is not your fault. Entering the Black Forest is our own choice. If it is Master Shouli, I will be relieved."

“Is Heilin really that scary?”

"There is no light in the dark forest. Even if you are not afraid of it for a while or a day, you will collapse after staying there for a long time. Fortunately, I have fellow apprentices around me, otherwise I don't think I can hold on."

"I asked them, and they also said that in the dark forest, you can't see anything or anyone. If you are far away, the sound will be drowned out. Nothing will happen in a short while, but the difficulty is to have more time.

There, living longer is actually a curse, a terrible curse. It is said that many people in the past could not come back, probably because they were tortured to the point that they would rather die.

There are endless unknown possibilities around them, which is not good. It is too difficult to persist in living. They are confused and lost their direction and themselves. They even kill their companions without knowing it. After they leave the Black Forest, they can't remember anything except that extremely terrible memory. "

"Some memories are unclear and gone."

"It seems that you are the same. So you have no idea how you escaped, right?"

"We had each other and believed in each other, so in the end we came out of it."

"I understand."
