Chapter 211 Could it be a case of homosexuality?
Fan Longhu stood there stunned, not knowing what to do.
Just then, the voice of the white stork guarding the door rang out.
“Senior need not worry. Since Song Xian is a member of our Qinglin Guard, this position will naturally be provided by us. In any case, the Qinglin Guards from various places are too busy to come, so there are quite a few vacancies. We should give some to our allies.”
Fan Longhu nodded hurriedly, "Absolutely! Lord Bai is truly a magnanimous person!"
Master Guangchun smiled and nodded, saying, "That's fine. Let's not delay and go now. If we keep the White Lotus Sect members waiting, it might cause trouble."
As soon as she stood up, Ye Kang quickly presented her with a secret manual with both hands.
It is the secret manual of the Spirit Butterfly Thousand Illusions.
Although it seems that the nun didn't give anything substantial, that's how human relationships work; once you've done something, you're indebted to her, and you can't refuse.
Master Guangchun accepted the manual, then glanced thoughtfully at Ye Kang's waist, her gaze seemingly piercing through his clothes and reaching the ancient black jade treasure.
“That’s kind of you. Then you can go with Patriarch Fan. Disciple, we’ll go ahead first.”
"Yes, Master."
Gu Lingwei nodded obediently and happily made a face at Ye Kang.
Fan Longhu breathed a sigh of relief and patted Ye Kang on the shoulder warmly.
"Good lad, good attitude, quick reflexes, you've got some skills."
"Senior Fan, you flatter me."
Ye Kang smiled slightly, thinking that Fan Longhu probably wanted to befriend him because of Master Guangchun.
He was naturally happy to accept this, after all, Fan Longhu was also a top expert at the ninth level of the Extreme Realm, and with his current strength, he was still far behind.
"Senior Fan, you've arrived too quickly. I haven't figured out what's going on yet. Could you please explain?"
Fan Longhu laughed heartily and said frankly, "Of course, no problem."
"In short, the Lingyin Temple Secret Realm is about to open. Every year, the Qinglin Guard selects a group of people to go in and seek opportunities. But this time, the White Lotus Sect has its eye on this Secret Realm. They have mobilized their followers and first surrounded Qiantang City, using the people to threaten the two guards."
"Lingyin Temple has always been strictly controlled by the imperial court. This time, 50 slots were allocated to the White Lotus Sect, resulting in a significant loss. Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do. With just these few people, we can't hold out until reinforcements arrive. We have no choice but to compromise."
Ye Kang nodded upon hearing this.
It turned out to be the case.
No wonder the White Lotus Sect suddenly went mad; it turns out they wanted to go to the secret realm.
"Senior Fan, what is so special about the secret realm of Lingyin Temple? Why would the White Lotus Sect pay such a high price for just a few spots?"
Fan Longhu immediately shook his head: "You're thinking too simply. Lingyin Temple is no ordinary secret realm. In addition to the usual spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it is also the place where masters pass away. It is of great use for martial arts deduction. Moreover, it contains all kinds of precious plants and spiritual materials. Who knows, the White Lotus Sect might have its eye on something."
"But even if we manage to get in temporarily, what if the imperial reinforcements arrive later? Wouldn't that allow them to encircle us from the inside and outside?"
Fan Longhu smiled mysteriously and whispered, "Otherwise, why do you think that vice sect leader would come to discuss this with Abbess Guangchun? As long as the nomination is finalized, the matter will be considered closed. With a hidden sect as guarantor, no matter how many reinforcements the imperial court sends, they can only..."
Perhaps remembering that Ye Kang was also a member of the imperial court, Fan Longhu said no more and simply shook his head.
Ye Kang suddenly realized.
The situation is already very clear: the White Lotus Sect doesn't need Qiantang City at all. They just want to use it to pressure the Green Scale Guards and, at the same time, naturally bring out the mediator, Jingyuezhai.
Jingyuezhai acted as a mediator for the sake of the city's residents, thus gaining the upper hand, and afterwards, other reclusive sects didn't say much.
The imperial court could no longer wage war and could only obediently let the White Lotus Sect disappear into the sea of people once again.
The White Lotus Sect reaped a great harvest and escaped unscathed.
Jingyuezhai gained a great deal of merit and also got two free spots.
Fan Longhu and his fellow martial arts allies also obtained vacant positions in the Qinglin Guard and earned chivalrous titles.
A world was born where only the imperial court and innocent civilians suffered.
Ye Kang couldn't help but clench his fist slightly.
It wasn't for the sake of the imperial court, but the thought of so many people dying in the White Lotus Sect's surprise attack, only to find it was all a scheme, was truly heartbreaking.
I still felt a little uneasy.
But he didn't say much, and followed Fan Longhu all the way to a green forest outside Qiantang City.
Countless soldiers were already waiting here, and the White Lotus Sect members were also moving closer.
Lingyin Temple is not located in Qiantang City, but in this mountain forest, with several large rivers flowing beside it. The scenery is magnificent and very refreshing.
However, the atmosphere was now extremely cold.
Except for a few bold individuals, the members of the White Lotus Sect were all masked. At this moment, hundreds of experts had arrived, displaying an astonishing aura.
On the other hand, the Azure Scale Guard only had more than thirty people.
Unfortunately, the Lingyin Temple Secret Realm requires Qinglin Guards from various regions to select people to come here, or to exchange a chance to come by earning great merit.
But now none of these people can come, and the vacancies in the Azure Scale Guard are enormous. The fact that they can muster more than thirty people is already a testament to the strength of the Qiantang region.
Naturally, the remaining dozen or so spots were given to those chivalrous heroes who stepped forward to help.
Ye Kang looked around and saw a white-clad swordsman carrying a Qingfeng sword walking arrogantly towards him, followed by three sword attendants, who should be his disciples.
Fan Longhu said from the side, "This is the great hero Dugu, a ninth-rank expert in the middle realm, one of the four heroes who guard the city. This guy got four spots, more than me."
Although Fan Longhu was green with envy, he didn't complain.
After all, he is a middleman who will not take action, so there is no risk involved, and therefore no available spots.
Besides the legendary swordsman Dugu, a stunningly beautiful woman arrived with two handsome scholars.
“That’s Madam Dai, she’s practiced seductive arts, and the two behind her are her male lovers.”
Then came a dignified old man dressed in brocade, walking steadily, with six young boys and girls behind him.
"This is General Geng, the Lord of Qiantang City, and the people behind him are his descendants and family members."
Fan Longhu commented with interest, then asked with doubt, "These are three of the Four Heroes of the City. As for the last one, he's not a righteous master, and he's not very famous. I don't know much about him, except that I've heard he calls himself the King of Thieves."
"what!"
Ye Kang's expression changed instantly.
King of Thieves!
He immediately recalled the message that the garrison commander of Tianying Town had told him when he left Poyang City.
Dai Huanhuan's master, known as the King of Thieves, operated in the Qiantang area. Not long ago, he broke into a prison and took Dai Huanhuan with him...
He immediately looked behind him.
Sure enough, an elderly hunchbacked man with a full head of white hair walked over with a cane, and a young man dressed in white was helping him.
Others might not recognize him, but Ye Kang recognized him at a glance.
It was Dai Huanhuan, disguised as a man!
Great! I've been searching high and low, and here I am!
His sharp eyes quickly caught Dai Huanhuan's attention.
Their eyes met, and Dai Huanhuan couldn't help but frown.
How could this person be so frivolous, staring at me like that? Could it be that he has homosexual tendencies?
