Chapter 382 Meeting the Supervisor
Five days later, Qin Ziling left Fangliao County alone on a Blood Goshawk and headed towards the capital.
When they arrived at the capital, Qin Ziling released the bloody eagle and flew directly over the capital on his sword. He only put away his sword and landed at the gate of Sitianjian City.
After landing at the gate of Sitianjian and showing the Tianyan Order, the guards immediately let him in and someone took him to a square.
Fifty or sixty people had gathered in the square, and at a glance they were all Qi Refining masters, most of them were middle-level masters, and only a small number were junior masters.
"The Tianyan Sect is the Tianyan Sect. They have gathered so many Qi Refining Masters so easily." Qin Ziling glanced at the crowd and couldn't help but marvel in his heart.
Seeing another person coming, everyone looked at Qin Ziling.
Naturally, Qin Ziling only revealed the aura of a junior master of Qi Refining.
When the middle masters saw that Qin Ziling was only a junior master of Qi Refining, they all withdrew their gazes. Only the junior masters' eyes lit up slightly. One of the junior masters, who was tall and thin with a pockmarked face, immediately came forward and bowed to Qin Ziling and said, "I wonder which state or sect you are from, fellow Taoist?"
"Xiyunzhou, Golden Sword Sect." Qin Ziling bowed and replied.
"Xiyunzhou, Golden Sword Sect?" The tall, thin, pockmarked young master was slightly startled at first, then revealed an expression of sudden enlightenment and said, "So you are from the Golden Sword Sect, I have heard a lot about you!"
“What do you mean you’ve heard of it for a long time! Apart from Xuanwu Valley which has a little fame in Xiyun Province, how many people here have heard of the Golden Sword Sect?” A Qi Refining Grandmaster with a sallow complexion and a sickly look raised his eyelids and sneered unceremoniously.
The thin and pockmarked young master looked awkward when he heard this, but Qin Ziling was calm. He thought to himself, "It seems that many people are resentful this time! But it is also true that Tianyan Sect did not send its own disciples to face such a great danger, but forced them to go. It would be strange if they didn't feel resentful."
"Uncle Qin, Grandmaster Lai wants to ask you to come over." At this moment, a Qi-refining master wearing the official uniform of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau came forward and bowed to Qin Ziling.
Everyone's face changed when they heard this, and shock and surprise were revealed in their eyes.
They never imagined that Qin Ziling, who was clearly from Xiyun Province, the Golden Sword Sect, and was only a minor master, would actually have a connection . And judging from the title of this Sitianjian official, it was obvious that he was of a high generation.
The sickly-looking middle master who had just made a sarcastic remark was shocked , and a hint of regret and panic flashed across his eyes.
It doesn't matter to him. He is risking his life by entering the wind and thunder barrier this time, so he has basically given it his all. But the problem is that he is not alone. He still has a master and a family.
"My fellow Taoist, please forgive me. I didn't..." The sickly Zhong Zongshi quickly stepped forward and bowed to apologize.
"It's okay, it's okay. What you said just now is indeed right. You don't have to worry that I will hold a grudge. I am just like you. I am going to enter the wind and thunder barrier. Life and death are unpredictable once I go there. Who would care about such a small thing?" Qin Ziling smiled and waved his hand.
"Thank you very much for your generosity, fellow Taoist." The sickly Master Zhong finally breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to express his gratitude.
Qin Ziling smiled and waved his hand, then said to the official from the Imperial Observatory, "Thank you for leading the way, nephew."
The official from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau twitched his lips a little when he heard this, but soon returned to normal. He bowed slightly and said, "Uncle Qin, please."
"Okay!" Qin Ziling nodded, then followed the officials from the Imperial Observatory to a wooden, antique hall in front of him, but he felt secretly amused in his heart.
The subtle changes in the expressions of the officials from the Imperial Observatory just now naturally did not escape his eyes.
"Hehe, being a registered disciple of the elder of Tianyan Sect is still a bit impressive, at least the seniority is relatively high. Look at this official of Sitianjian, he is not young anymore, but he still has to call me uncle. I just don't know what Teacher Lai wants me to do, is he going to introduce me to the chief supervisor?
Teacher Lai said that the supervisor is even stronger than him, so I have to be careful and not let him see any clues. But fortunately, after practicing with Xiao Qing and Xia Yan, I have a deeper understanding of the five elements of yin and yang, and I have the soul to control the situation, so he should not be able to see through me. "Qin Ziling thought to himself as he walked.
Soon Qin Ziling entered the hall.
There were only two people sitting in the main hall, Lai Yi Nuan and Jian Zheng.
As soon as Qin Ziling stepped into the hall, the supervisor's gaze fell on Qin Ziling like a knife.
But soon, the supervisor withdrew his gaze.
"Student greets teacher!" Qin Ziling bowed to Lai Yi Nuan first.
"Hmm!" Lai Yi Nuan waved his hand, and then said: "This is Gongsun Yun, the current director of the Imperial Observatory of the Great Qi State. According to seniority, you should call him Uncle Master."
"Zi Ling greets Uncle Master Gongsun." Qin Zi Ling bowed again.
"Your teacher has told me about your situation. Be careful when you enter the wind and thunder barrier this time." said the supervisor.
"Thanks for your relationship, uncle-master. I'm from the Student Union." Qin Ziling replied, but in his heart he despised the supervisor in front of him.
After all, he is the current supervisor who is on equal footing with the emperor and also his elder, but he didn't even give him a greeting gift and just said a few cheap nice words. How stingy and ungraceful!
The supervisor naturally didn't know that Qin Ziling was despising and criticizing him in his heart at this moment. After saying this to Qin Ziling, he left him aside and drank his tea by himself.
Lai Yi Nuan was very concerned about Qin Ziling, his registered disciple, and specially called him to his side. After taking a closer look, he discovered that Qin Ziling had also broken through to the Grandmaster level in martial arts. He was both pleased and increasingly regretful.
"I am just going to introduce you to Uncle Master Gongsun. Now everything is fine. You can go out and wait." Lai Yinuan said quickly.
"Yes." Qin Ziling bowed to Lai Yinuan and the supervisor, then turned and left the hall.
"At this age, he is practicing both Taoism and martial arts, and has even reached the level of a junior grandmaster. He is indeed a talent. If he is cultivated well, he still has hope of becoming a grandmaster. It's a bit of a pity." The supervisor said indifferently after Qin Ziling left .
"It's really a pity. But one never knows what will happen in this world. Maybe he can find the Lei Xun Stone and escape by luck." Lai Yinuan said.
"I hope so." The Supervisor nodded, and then said, "Senior Brother specially introduced him to me, probably because he wanted me to be a witness!"
"That's right. After all, the Thunder Stone is very valuable and everyone wants it. Otherwise, we wouldn't have ignored the resentment from below and forcibly recruited a hundred Qi Refining Grandmasters. The four major sects, Xuanjian Sect, Danxia Palace, Lingyun Palace, and Cangshan Sect, would not hesitate to send people into the Wind and Thunder Small Barrier at the cost of the loss of outstanding disciples among their sects.
Therefore, if I, a registered disciple, get the Thunder Stone and survive, I still hope to follow the rules of our Tianyan Sect disciples entering the Wind and Thunder Small Barrier and leave him a Thunder Stone." Lai Yi Nuan said.
"Brother, isn't this a bit against the rules?" The supervisor frowned slightly.
"Haha, is it true that the Crown Prince and his men are sending people to enter the Wind and Thunder Small Barrier in the name of disciples from the four major sects?" Lai Yi Nuan asked sarcastically, and then added: "Besides, don't forget that this time I was the one who expended my energy to open the Wind and Thunder Small Barrier. Is my small request, which basically has no hope, too much?"
"Haha, senior brother, you're too polite. I just said it casually. Since you mean this, I naturally have no objection." The supervisor said quickly with a smile.
