"This is indeed a trouble. Junior Brother Zhou, do you have any suggestions?"

"Tang Ning has now broken through to the Mahayana realm. If she insists on the original punishment decision, it may not be appropriate. Now is the time to employ people. It seems a bit excessive to imprison a Mahayana monk for five hundred years just because he went out privately. And what if he What should I do if I refuse to implement it? Do we have to use coercive means? If the trouble really gets to the point of taking action, not only will we lose face, but things may also get out of control."

"But if he is ignored, the prestige of the coalition forces will be affected to some extent. Even the resolutions made by the command headquarters can be changed depending on the individual and withdrawn at any time. What prestige will we have at all? I also feel that it is difficult, so I Come and ask Senior Brother Han for advice."

Zhou Buqun seemed to have said a lot, but felt like he had said nothing. In the end, he kicked the ball to Han Siyuan.

"Has he mentioned this, and is he already aware of the previous punishment decision made by the coalition?" Han Siyuan was silent for a while and then asked.

"He didn't take the initiative to mention it, and I didn't talk about it, but he should have known about it for a long time. For such a big matter, Junior Sister Nangong will definitely communicate with him in advance!"

"Where is he now?"

"He should still be at the headquarters. I asked someone to take him to rest."

After pondering for a long time, Han Siyuan slowly said: "Let's wait until the meeting is held to discuss this matter and ask everyone for their opinions! I can't act arbitrarily or make my own opinions."

"In that case, I'll take my leave first." Zhou Buqun stood up and left.

After he left, Han Chaoyang came in from the outside, saluted Han Siyuan and said, "Uncle, what are you going to do with this person?"

"How to deal with it?" Han Siyuan lowered his eyes slightly: "He has entered the Mahayana realm, can I still have the final say on how to deal with it?"

"He is at the headquarters at the moment. If he wants to go out, should he be stopped?"

"Don't act rashly. Wait until I hold a meeting before making a decision."

"Yes."

.........

Zhou Buqun left Han Siyuan's cave and returned to the mansion. As soon as the light disappeared, a middle-aged woman immediately came to greet him: "Master, Master Nangong's uncle is here and is waiting for you in the living room of the mansion."

Zhou Buqun nodded slightly and went straight into the mansion and came to the spacious and bright hall.

"Senior Brother Zhou, I'm sorry to bother you, but I hope you won't take offense." Inside, Nangong Muxue stood up and bowed her head in salute.

"You've been waiting for a long time, Junior Sister Nangong, please take a seat."

The two of them sat down separately, and before Nangong Muxue could speak, Zhou Buqun said with a smile on his face.

"Junior Sister Nangong has such a good eye! It's really tempting to choose such a good disciple and son-in-law. It's not like my disciples and grandsons, who are all a bunch of drunkards. Every one of them can be used. I'm lucky if I don't get into trouble. I hope they will succeed. That's just a daydream, if I were like Junior Sister Nangong and had such a good disciple-in-law, I would probably wake up laughing even in my sleep."

"To be honest, I didn't expect that he could have such a blessing. I was shocked when I first saw him break through to the Mahayana realm. I thought it was a disaster, but I didn't expect that he could turn it into a blessing. Since he After he disappeared, my disciple thought about him day and night, fearing that something might happen to him, and he was even more worried because of the previous punishment decision made by the headquarters. His return this time finally made a hanging stone fall to the ground for us. "

"I have long heard that your disciple-in-law is a great person among men. I only heard about it before but never saw it with my eyes. Today, I finally got what I wanted. I met the real person. Although it was just a simple exchange, my son-in-law's demeanor impressed me endlessly. In just a few hundred years, my son-in-law has broken through the Mahayana realm from the early stage of integration. If it were anyone else, he would definitely be arrogant and high-spirited. But my son-in-law is not only neither arrogant nor impetuous, nor humble nor overbearing, but also humble and polite, looking calm and confident. This shows how extraordinary your son-in-law is."

"He comes from a humble background. Although he has gained some fame over the years, he is still a loyal person. He has always respected me, my uncle, and has always been gentle and courteous to others."

"In six hundred years, he was promoted from the early stage of integration to the Mahayana realm. Looking at the entire Tianyuan, it is unique and rare in ancient and modern times! At that time, the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Chang, broke through from the middle stage of integration to the Mahayana realm in just five hundred years, shocking Qingzhou, and his deeds were famous all over the world. Comparable. The arrival of my son-in-law is like a small witch. The speed with which my son-in-law has entered the country has opened my eyes. There are people in this sect who will succeed us! If the sect can have a few more rising stars like him, there is no need to worry about the sect not being able to succeed." "Senior Brother Zhou. , I came here today just to deal with Tangning. I hope that Senior Brother Zhou can be noble and let him go."

Zhou Buqun looked surprised: "Why did Junior Sister Nangong say this?"

Nangong Muxue said: "Previously, he served as the inspector of the 10th Army. After repelling the demons with the army, he happened to encounter a space crack and obtained the treasure map of the island in the Netherworld Sea. He thought that after the demons retreated, the coalition forces would be able to join forces in a short time. Nothing happened, so I left the team. I thought I would return within a year or two, but I didn’t expect to be stuck in that independent space for hundreds of years.”

"Later, the coalition decided to punish him severely and imprison him for five hundred years. I had no objection at first. The sect has its own laws and regulations, and the coalition has its system. Since he violated the rules, he should be punished." "But now. The situation has changed. In recent years, the demons have invaded Qingzhou from time to time, and the coalition forces have lost troops and generals. On the one hand, we must guard against the invasion of the demons, and on the other hand, we must also guard against the monsters. This is the right time to employ people."

"Manpower is scarce in the first place. Now that he has broken through to the Mahayana realm, he can be put to great use. At this critical moment of life and death, even the demon clan, which has always had the intention of destroying me, can unite. Is it possible that there is no room for his sect? Direct lineage?"

"What's more, although he violated the regulations of the coalition forces, he did not commit a major mistake. He neither caused any losses to the coalition forces, nor did he deliberately despise the majesty of the coalition forces. For such a trivial matter, a Mahayana monk will be imprisoned for five hundred years. , no matter how you look at it, it’s all a bit of a fuss.”

"Even outsiders, I'm afraid they all criticize us, thinking that we use chicken feathers as arrows and don't pay enough attention to talents. Moreover, Tangning is a disciple of the sect, and we should all give him a hand due to emotions and reasons. Do you think so, Senior Brother Zhou?" "

Zhou Buqun smiled and said: "What Junior Sister Nangong said coincides with mine. I also think that imprisoning Tang Ning for five hundred years is a bit too harsh. But this punishment has been decided long ago, and I have no choice. Contingency changes.”

"The punishment resolution was made more than five hundred years ago, and the situation today is no better than it was then. Wouldn't it be absurd to use the resolution five hundred years ago to handle today's affairs? I think Senior Brother Han will take this into consideration. If you ask When it comes to Senior Brother Zhou’s meaning, I would also like to ask Senior Brother Zhou to say a few kind words.”

"Of course. Tangning is a disciple of the sect and one of our own. I don't want him to be severely punished for this. To be honest, I have just met Senior Brother Han and informed him about Tangning's return. I already said at the time that now that Tang Ning has broken through to the Mahayana realm and the coalition forces are employing people, it would be inappropriate to imprison the others for five hundred years according to the previous resolution. Senior Brother Han also said that he could not exercise arbitrary power and was preparing to hold a meeting. Let’s revisit the matter.”

"Then I would like to thank Senior Brother Zhou on Tangning's behalf."

"Junior Sister Nangong's words are serious. Regardless of whether he is public, private or emotional, I do not want him to be severely punished with five hundred years of imprisonment. When the meeting is held, I will express my attitude on this matter."

"With Senior Brother Zhou's words, I feel at ease. In that case, I won't bother Senior Brother Zhou to rest, so I'll take my leave first."

"I'll see Junior Sister Nangong off." The two stood up and walked out. After exiting the cave, Zhou Buqun said, "If this matter is to be foolproof, Junior Sister Nangong should reach an agreement with Senior Brother Han first."

"I was about to visit Senior Brother Han and listen to his opinions. Farewell." After Nangong Muxue said that, she flashed into the air and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

.........

In the dim room, Tang Ning and Liu Ruhan cuddled up to each other and were talking to each other. The couple hadn't seen each other for five hundred years, so they naturally had a lot to talk about.

Liu Ruhan has now broken through to the Fusion Realm and was talking about her deeds since parting at Yuan Huan Mountain when a sudden knock on the door sounded.

Liu Ruhan then moved her head away from her shoulders, waved her hand and fired out a burst of spiritual power. After the stone door opened, a round-faced woman led an old woman in from the outside.

The woman had white hair and wrinkles on her face. She looked like a farmer in her sixties or seventies.

Tangning's pupils shrank suddenly and she stood up in disbelief. The old woman walked towards him step by step with tears in her eyes.

"Master." The old woman's voice was hoarse, a smile appeared on her wrinkled face, and tears rolled down her eyes.

"Yuanya." Tangning's palms trembled slightly and she reached out to touch her cheek: "Yuanya, you..."

Halfway through the words, Tang Ning's heart felt like a knife was twisting in her heart. She couldn't say any more and her eyes were wet. He never expected that Gu Yuanya would have aged so much after not seeing her for six hundred years.

After meeting Liu Ruhan again, he immediately asked about Gu Yuanya's whereabouts. Liu Ruhan immediately sent someone to summon her and gently comforted Tang Ning to be mentally prepared. Yuanya was no longer much older than she was back then. I cared too much, but I didn't expect Yuan Ya to be like this.

Touching the wrinkles on her face, Tang Ning's mind was filled with thoughts of how young and cute she looked back then. How could this happen? He felt guilty and remorseful.

"Master, you are finally back. I thought I would never see you again." Gu Yuanya choked, tears rolling down her eyes, but a happy smile on her face.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?" Tangning murmured to herself, stroking her old face and white hair with trembling hands, and hugged her in his arms.

Gu Yuanya's head was pressed against his chest, with hot tears falling down her cheeks. The master and apprentice hugged each other speechlessly.
