In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed by in the blink of an eye. After Tang Ning left Xie Minghua's birthday banquet and returned to Pingling Mountain, she has been refining Qi and practicing in the cave.

On this day, the sound of words suddenly came from outside. Soon, the stone door was pushed open, and Gu Yuanya strode in happily: "Master, who do you think is coming?"

Tang Ning raised her eyes and saw a petite, pretty, frail woman following behind her. Who else could it be if it wasn't Yang Yunzhi?

Behind them were Gao Yuan and Chen Xiaofan.

When Tang Ning suddenly saw her, her pupils shrank, and an idea flashed in her mind, and she remembered something.

Seeing his abnormal expression, Gu Yuanya couldn't help but wonder: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh! It's nothing." Tang Ning replied casually and looked at Yang Yunzhi: "Yunzhi, why are you here?"

"Disciple pays homage to Master." Yang Yunzhi saluted.

"No need to be polite, just sit down! You all sit down."

"Master, this time I went to Xuantang City with Junior Brother Gao to participate in the auction, and we happened to meet Senior Sister Yang. She knew that you were working here, so she came with us." Gu Yuanya said.

"It has been more than a hundred years since I last met you. In fact, I have always wanted to visit you, but I was afraid of disturbing your Qing Dynasty. What's more, the Tianniu Mountains are an important place for the Taixuan Sect Alliance. As a person, I cannot come in and out at will.

So I didn't bother you rashly. I met Junior Sister Gu by chance this time, and I found out that you had already been transferred to Jingyuan Pavilion, so you came with them." Yang Yunzhi said.

After not seeing each other for so long, she has successfully advanced to the late stage of Jindan, and her appearance is slightly older than before. She no longer looks like a girl in her early twenties, but looks like a woman in her thirties.

"How are you at the store? You're getting used to it!"

"Thanks to you, everything is fine."

The two chatted for a while, and Tang Ning changed the topic: "By the way, Yunzhi, I remember when you were framed and hunted by the Shen family, it was because of a piece of jade, right?"

"Yes." Yang Yunzhi was slightly startled: "Why did my uncle suddenly mention this matter? Could it be that the Shen family came to see you again later?"

"That's not true. Do you have that jade piece with you? Can you show it to me?"

"Yes." Yang Yunzhi turned his hand and took out a palm-sized piece of white jade, which was surrounded by a faint light and covered with weak spiritual power.

Tang Ning took the piece of jade and looked at it carefully for a while, then pulled out another piece of jade that was exactly the same. They were like twin brothers, with the same color and size, and the fine lines on them were also very similar.

"Hey! Master, these two jade pieces seem to be the same." Gu Yuanya said in surprise.

Yang Yunzhi also looked at the two jade pieces curiously and fell into deep thought.

Tang Ning connected the two jade fragments together, as if they were a perfect fit and a natural fit.

"One piece is missing." Tangning frowned as she looked at the fan-shaped jade piece in her hand. After the two jade pieces were connected together, it was obvious that there was a piece missing in the middle. There should be three jade pieces of equal size connected together.

It is a complete circular pattern.

"Uncle Master, this jade piece of yours?" Yang Yunzhi asked in surprise.

"Like you, I also found it in a secret place. It seems that this jade piece has some background. I think after collecting three pieces, I should be able to discover the secret inside." Tang Ning returned the jade piece.

Yang Yunzhi, when he got this piece of jade, he felt that it looked very familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

When I met Yang Yunzhi today, I suddenly remembered, wasn't this jade piece the same one she had in her hand back then?

Yang Yunzhi waved his hand: "Since my uncle has obtained one piece, I will hand this piece over to my uncle for his keeping! Anyway, it is of no use if I keep it with me. I hope that my uncle can get another piece as soon as possible and decipher the secrets in it. ."

"In that case, I'll keep it for you first. If I'm lucky enough to get another piece one day, I'll let you know." Tangning didn't pretend to refuse and directly put the two pieces of jade into her bag.

"Yuan Ya, go prepare the banquet and inform Gao Yuan, Chen Xiaofan and Yan Qing to attend. We, the old members of the Qian Yizong, will have a good gathering today."

"Oh!" Gu Yuanya responded and left.

"Yunzhi! There are no outsiders, so there is no need for us to be polite. If you are not satisfied with your stay there, you can come to me at any time. But with your current cultivation level, it seems that there is no need. I am here Only recruiting monks at the Golden Core level can be accepted."

"I'll tell you the truth! When I went to Jingyuanting, I thought about transferring you here to help me, but I thought it was good for you to stay there. After all, we are familiar with the affairs for so many years. There is no need to change places and come to this unfamiliar place."

"It wasn't until later that Gao Yuan, Chen Xiaofan, and Yan Qing came all the way from Senior Brother Jiang Yuhuan to defect. It happened that something happened to me during that time, so they took Yuan Ya over."

"I know." Yang Yunzhi nodded and responded: "After meeting Junior Sister Gu and Gao Yuan this time, I also thought about coming to you, but after thinking about it carefully, you don't lack manpower around you. I came over, but it's not easy to arrange. So I didn’t mention it. If you need me someday, just give me an order."

The two chatted for a while, and at night, during the banquet in the hall, several old members of the Qian Yizong were present. Tang Ning was sitting at the main seat, frequently asking for drinks, and the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves.

…

In Xuantang City, Tianniu Mountains, in the spacious hall, Sima Nianzu and Sima Xian exchanged a few words and sat down separately.

"If Brother Qi hadn't stepped in from the middle, things would not have been completed so smoothly. I would not say much more to express my gratitude to you, as it would appear to be indifferent. Brother Yu and his wife came here specifically to say goodbye to Brother Qi. It is time for us to go back. "

Sima Nianzu waved his hand: "I'm just signing a bridge and setting up a line. It's just a little effort. I don't dare to be greedy for God's credit. Say hello to the head of the family for me when I get back."

"Definitely, my father also misses Brother Qi very much. When I left the house, he told me to ask Brother Qi for more advice on this matter. He also asked me to take the message. I hope Brother Qi can go back to participate in the clan celebration at the end of the year."

"Of course I want to go back, but I may not be able to spare the time due to my busy schedule. Let's see when the time comes!"

"Uncle Thirteen and Wei Ziyan have already decided to attend this clan celebration. Don't Seventh Brother want to meet them?"

"Oh? Really? Both Uncle Thirteen and Uncle Wei are going? This is rare."

"Yes, the Thirteenth Uncle happened to be going to Qingzhou to inspect affairs, and Wei Ziyan also went to Donglai County to visit the senior nobles, so my father invited them both to participate in the clan celebration."

"Well, I'll try my best to find time to go back!" Sima Nianzu responded.

Both of them are monks of Taixuanzong. The name of the thirteenth uncle in Sima Xian's mouth is Sima De, who is a monk of the Supervisory Department of Xuande Hall of Taixuanzong. Wei Ziyan is the husband-in-law of the Sima family and is currently the manager of the third column of the first regiment of Qingwuying. .

Both of them were people with certain status and connections within Taixuan Sect. Because they were far apart, it was difficult to see each other. Therefore, as soon as he heard that they were going back to attend the celebration, Sima Nianzu immediately agreed.

As for the Sima family's celebration, it is held regularly every ten years and is not considered a grand event.

"Seventh brother, that day at Xie Minghua's birthday banquet, who was the person named Tang Ning who made slanderous remarks? A small chief of Tingcheng is so rampant, and insults me many times with his words, you can't ignore it!"

The woman spoke.

Sima Nianzu smiled slightly: "Those are just words made out of anger. Why should my younger siblings be as familiar with him as he is?"

The woman still said reluctantly: "If everyone talks like he is, and we all sit back and ignore it, I am afraid that the reputation of our house will plummet, and we will no longer have any prestige. If it is inconvenient for Seventh Brother to intervene, I will find him

Someone take care of him."

"A little Nascent Soul cultivator dares to be so presumptuous. He doesn't take me seriously in public at all, and he even insists on taking my head. If it weren't for the sake of you and Xie Minghua, I would have killed him on the spot.

Take care of him."

Sima Nianzu said helplessly: "Brothers and sisters, please listen to my advice and just let this matter go! Don't make the matter a big deal. It won't end well. It's just a moment of anger. Why bother to dig into it? As the saying goes, it's better to dissolve enemies than to end them.

, let the past things go with the wind."

"Brother Qi, do you have some friendship with that boy? If that's the case, if he is willing to sincerely apologize in front of you, I will not hold him accountable."

"I don't have any personal relationship with him, but after all, he is a disciple of the sect and the head of Jingyuan Pavilion. If something happens, it will be a big trouble for the higher-ups to track it down. And..."

"And what? Brother Qi, does this guy have some background?" the woman asked.

Sima Nianzu said: "I'll tell you the truth! He is the son of Fang Dasheng, the captain of the headquarters. When he was selected as the head of Jingyuan Pavilion, Sima Teng was also interested in this position. However, he got Fang Dasheng's full support.

Because he lost to Tang Ning, he lost the election."

"As far as I know, he has certain connections and background in the sect. Bai Jintang, the direct supervisor of our column, has a close relationship with him. When he committed a crime, it was Bai Jintang who personally came forward to settle the matter."

"There are rumors that he is the husband-in-law of Nangong Muxue's disciple, the supervisor of our sect's Li Department."

"That's why I say! Brothers and sisters, don't be so serious about small things. Make big things small and small things small!"

Sima Xian and the woman looked at each other, both a little surprised. Sima Xian frowned and asked, "Nangong Muxue's disciple's husband? Is it true?"
