Chapter 1396 - 1392: Oh My God, It’s the Real Boss Zhou!

Just as Xie Xuzhi left the courtyard gate, he saw Gu Yuan squatting by the roadside, pulling grass not far away.

"Boss, you’re out so soon!"

"Why haven’t you left yet?"

Gu Yuan: ...

Apparently, everything he said before was ignored by the boss, but could he really question him?

"Aren’t I waiting for you, Boss? Just perfect, we can return to the Capital City together."

The two followed Xin Fu and had just exited the array at the rear mountain, only to encounter Daoist Qingmu and his companions on the path leading to the rear mountain.

Gu Yuan muttered under his breath: "What’s with the wind today, how come so many familiar faces showed up at once?"

Daoist Qingmu and his companions were equally surprised to see Gu Yuan and Xie Xuzhi.

"Director Xie, Director Gu, why are you also here?"

"I should be asking you that. Why have you left your post and come here? It’s not your break time yet, unless all of you came together!"

Although Gu Yuan knew these people had great relations, most of the time, any one of them showing up signaled a major event.

Now seeing all of them here at this time, there must be something happening.

Daoist Qingmu exchanged a glance with his companions and then looked at the Qingfeng Temple disciple who had brought them here.

Xin Fu immediately understood, waving his hand to signal the person to retreat, as he still had plenty to do.

He promptly spoke, "I have matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave."

The group naturally moved towards a nearby pavilion, with Gu Yuan quickly transforming into a little assistant, hurrying to grab the tea set from the cabinet.

By the time Xie Xuzhi and the others sat down, Gu Yuan had already lit the burner and started boiling water.

It must be said, the Qingfeng Temple people were thoroughly thoughtful, providing ample tea supplies in every pavilion, ready to use at any time.

"Go ahead, tell us what’s happened."

Daoist Qingmu was initially unsure of the situation, which is why he planned to invite the Junior Master to come and confirm it.

But now that he’s encountered Xie Xuzhi here, he need not go through such trouble.

"Director Xie, our people discovered some anomalies at Five Emperors Mountain. However, a portion of Five Emperors Mountain was previously sealed off by those at Qingfeng Temple.

Without their Passage Order, it’s tough for us to enter and examine, so I’ve come here with people hoping to obtain their permission."

This matter was initially arranged by Xie Xuzhi himself.

Many Xuan Sect forces couldn’t help but covet it, even wanting Qingfeng Temple to yield part of the interests, but ultimately, the Junior Master suppressed them fiercely.

Daoist Qingmu himself had a good relationship with Yun Ran, and besides, Qingfeng Temple’s people weren’t ones to bully others with power, so he had no objections to this arrangement.

"Huaiyi True Master is in seclusion. I’ll send someone to handle the situation at Five Emperors Mountain."

The superior of the superior took over the matter, and Daoist Qingmu instantly felt the weight lift off his shoulders.

He particularly favored leaders who distinguished between public and private matters, capable of handling things, which made life easier for the people working below.

At this moment, Gu Yuan brought over the freshly brewed tea.

"Everyone, please have a cup of tea~"

"It’s our honor to drink tea personally brewed by Director Gu."

Gu Yuan was about to say there’s no need for courtesy, as they were all one of their own.

Xie Xuzhi took a sip of tea and straightforwardly said, "The matter of Five Emperors Mountain, I’ll leave it to you to investigate!"

Gu Yuan: ...

Oh my god, it’s like seeing Boss Zhou in the flesh!!!
