Chapter 333 After 3 Years Apart, Master and Disciple Search for Friends
Qi Lingxing looked at Cheng Peng opposite him: "Captain Cheng, what did you mean by what you just said?"
Because Cheng Peng was given an official position by King Ling after the battle of Nanyang City.
Therefore, Qi Lingxing naturally had to address Cheng Peng as Captain.
Shanzi sighed and took over the conversation: "No rush, no rush, this matter is related to Shui'er and Xiaohe."
When Daya heard that it was related to Shui'er and the other person, she quickly asked, "What happened to them?"
Shanzi said in a deep voice, "The two of them, along with Sister Qin Lingxing, were put into confinement by the Spirit King a month ago."
All five were taken aback: "Solitary confinement?"
Big Head scratched his head and asked, "What kind of solitary confinement? What did they do wrong?"
Shanzi then led Qin Lingxing, Shui'er, and Xiaohe back to Huanling City.
No one knows what happened to King Ling, but he suddenly became angry.
Then the three of them recounted in detail how they were locked in the meditation room together.
"A meditation room?!"
Upon hearing these three words, Qi Lingxing and Hua Lingxing's expressions changed drastically, and they stood up abruptly, their voices trembling.
Hua Lingxing asked anxiously, "How could this be? Did the Spirit King say when he would release them?"
Shanzi shook his head: "He never said that. He only said that no one is allowed to let them out without his orders."
“This…” Qi Lingxing frowned.
Seeing the two of them looking solemn, Da Tou asked in confusion, "Sister Yang, what exactly is this meditation room?"
Why do your faces turn so pale when you hear this name?
Qi Lingxing explained in a deep voice: "The Quiet Room, also known as the place for facing the wall to reflect on one's mistakes, is a place used to punish those who make mistakes and do not know how to repent."
Once inside, no one is allowed to leave without the Spirit King's order; it's tantamount to house arrest.
Big Head was even more confused: "But Shui'er and the others didn't do anything wrong, so why did the Spirit King lock them up for no reason?"
Shanzi sighed: "We don't know the specific reason yet. Perhaps it's because Sister Qin didn't report in advance and brought Shui'er and Xiaohe back without permission, which angered the Spirit King."
Daya looked at Shanzi and asked, "Did you go to the palace to persuade King Ling?"
Cheng Peng replied in a muffled voice, "Why didn't we try to stop them? We almost went into that damned heart chamber too!"
Shanzi waved his hand and changed the subject: "We don't need to worry about Shui'er and the others for now."
That's not what I wanted to say when I stopped you.
Moreover, King Ling's elder brother, Liu Lingzhen, has been in Qin for more than two months. Judging by the time, it's about time he returned.
Do you think that if he were to return, King Ling would return the throne to him?
Qi Lingxing shook his head and sighed, "This matter is beyond our control; we can only wait for the Spirit King's decision."
Shanzi suddenly looked at Xiaolie, as if he had remembered something.
"By the way, Xiao Lie, you're the only one among us who has fought Liu Lingzhen before. What do you think he'll do now that he's back?"
Xiao Lie frowned, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly shook his head.
"He's so strong, so strong that I couldn't even move an inch in front of him, let alone resist. As for my opinion..."
He paused, and finally uttered only four words: "Chaos is about to break out."
"What?" Shanzi and Cheng Peng were both surprised.
Shanzi pressed on uncertainly, "Is it really that serious?"
Cheng Peng also asked anxiously, "Is there any way to stop him?"
Xiao Lie shook his head: "With our current strength, we simply cannot stop it. But..."
"But what?" Shanzi asked hurriedly.
"This situation isn't unbreakable," Xiao Lie said.
"How do we break this?" everyone asked in unison.
Xiao Lie said, enunciating each word clearly: "Spirit King."
"how to say?"
Xiao Lie said in a deep voice, "We can only wait and see if the Spirit King will relinquish his military power."
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback, and then a look of dejection appeared on their faces.
King Ling's elder brother has now returned.
Therefore, King Ling's throne would naturally have to be returned.
It seems that handing over military power is a foregone conclusion.
Seeing that everyone was in low spirits, Xiao Lie smiled and said, "Oh, don't worry so much!"
He hasn't come back yet; judging by the journey, it will take at least another month.
"By then, perhaps we might still have a chance to turn things around!"
Hearing Xiao Lie's words of comfort, everyone felt a little relieved, but they still knew that things were not so easy to resolve.
The group discussed the matter at length, but could only wait for what would happen next.
Ten days later, an old man and a young man arrived at the city gate of Illusionary Spirit City.
The boy was dressed in an exquisite brocade robe, but the fabric was covered in dust and dirt, making him look somewhat disheveled.
He gazed at the bustling crowd at the city gate.
Finally, he couldn't help but ask the old man beside him.
"Master, do you think Xiaohe and the others are really in this Illusionary Spirit City?"
The old man beside him was wearing a cloth robe covered in patches.
Although his clothes were simple, they were washed and clean.
He stroked his white beard and smiled, "Xuan'er, don't worry."
"Given the magnitude of the matter—the true and false Spirit Kings—they, as citizens of the Spirit Kingdom and with deep ties to the Spirit King, certainly wouldn't remain uninvolved."
The young man was Chen Junxuan, and the old man was Song Jiuxian, the former leader of the Beggars' Sect.
I met Shui'er and Xiao He by chance in Gu Xuanchao three years ago.
Finally, through their matchmaking, Chen Junxuan became a disciple of Song Jiuxian.
The master and his apprentice had not seen each other for three years since they parted ways.
Two months ago, they heard the news that Liu Lingzhen, the True Spirit King of the Spirit Kingdom, had returned.
Chen Junxuan was constantly worried about the safety of the two girls, Shui'er and Xiao He, and kept urging Song Jiuxian to come to Ling Kingdom together.
However, Song Jiuxian was born a citizen of Qin and naturally did not want to get involved in the affairs of the Ling Kingdom's court.
Therefore, in the end, Song Jiuxian not only rejected Chen Junxuan.
Furthermore, he was strictly forbidden from participating in matters concerning the true and false Spirit Kings.
But why did the master and disciple end up in the Spirit Kingdom? This story begins more than a month ago.
It wasn't long after I heard the news of Liu Lingzhen's return.
News of the death of Emperor Liu Xinhao of the Si Dynasty soon followed.
The sudden outbreak of national mourning plunged the court into chaos.
Various ambitious individuals seized the opportunity to stir up trouble: rebellious refugees, local officials, and self-proclaimed warlords...
Tensions rose between the various factions, quickly escalating into a chaotic war, causing turmoil and widespread suffering.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Junxuan's father knew that if the Chen family stayed in the same place in the chaotic world, they would be drawn into the conflict sooner or later and end up with the destruction of their family.
He made a snap decision and packed his valuables overnight, fleeing with his family in a panic.
Fortunately, Song Jiuxian came to their aid, and they managed to avoid the flames of war and checkpoints, allowing the Chen family to safely escape this conflict.
After settling his family in, Chen Junxuan found Song Jiuxian and begged his master to take him to the Spirit Kingdom.
He was always worried about Shui'er and Xiao He, and concerned about their safety during this ordeal.
Left with no other choice, Song Jiuxian finally agreed and embarked on the journey to Ling Kingdom with Chen Junxuan.
