Chapter 951
In the evening, the sun sets, and the afterglow of the setting sun fills the earth.
In the back garden of Elder Zhao's mansion, he was sitting opposite an old man with a high crown at this moment.
As a Martial Emperor-level powerhouse, and also in charge of most of Tiandu Peak's daily affairs, Elder Zhao's status in Tiandu Peak can undoubtedly be called a real high position and weight.
And this old man with a high crown can sit on an equal footing with him, and his manners are not inferior at all, obviously he is not an ordinary person.
In fact, the crowned old man was the Heavenly Capital Peak Lord that Wei Yi had never met before.
There was a chessboard on the stone table between the two of them, chatting casually while playing chess.
"I heard that there are a lot of people looking for you recently?"
The old peak master picked up a chess piece, stopped in mid-air, and asked casually while thinking about the chess game.
Elder Zhao's eyes were also fixed on the chessboard below. Hearing this, he replied without thinking, "It's not just that you, the old man, don't see foreigners. Those people can't find you, so naturally they have to come to me. .”
Elder Zhao couldn't help but complain in his words.
Seeing this, the old peak master immediately laughed.
The relationship between the two is inseparable. Elder Zhao can be said to be single-handedly promoted by him, and he can be regarded as his direct confidant.
This is also one of the reasons why the old peak master rest assured to hand over the daily affairs of Tiandu Peak to Elder Zhao.
Naturally, there are not so many rules when the two get along in private.
"You can also learn from me, and never see visitors behind closed doors." The old peak master said with a smile.
"Forget it, there are so many debts of affection here and there, if I don't give anyone face like you, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in Tiandufeng in the future."
Elder Zhao smiled wryly and shook his head. Although he is high and powerful, it is precisely because of this that he has a lot to worry about.
Otherwise, if you don't give others face today, others may not give you face tomorrow.
Of course, it's impossible to do it head-on, but it's okay to play tricks behind the scenes.
After all, those who dared to board the gate of his mansion were basically people with backgrounds, and many of them were from aristocratic families.
"So, you are more suitable to manage Tiandu Peak. In this regard, you are much better than your junior brother. I can rest assured that I will entrust Tiandu Peak to you."
The younger brother he mentioned here undoubtedly refers to Elder Zhao's younger brother Lin Zhixiu.
"I want to be like my junior brother. He lives a much easier life than me. He learns to practice swords every day, and doesn't need to care about those mundane affairs at all. Alas, I'm just a hard worker."
"Okay, okay, don't complain in front of me, you chose this path yourself, can you still blame me now?" The old peak master glanced at him and said angrily.
"Hey, I'm just talking, how dare I blame you." Elder Zhao laughed as he spoke.
And at this moment, an old servant in the mansion came over and whispered a story beside Elder Zhao.
Elder Zhao couldn't help frowning slightly.
"What's wrong?" The old peak master raised his head and asked.
"A junior who is seeking an audience outside the mansion is the Wei Yi I told you about before." Elder Zhao explained.
"Oh, it seems that that kid has not been a student for a year. He becomes a formal disciple in one month and a core disciple in three months. Why, he came to see you at this time, is he planning to become a true disciple within a year?"
The old peak master threw a piece on the chessboard, then raised his head and said with a smile.
Hearing his words, Elder Zhao couldn't figure out what he was thinking for a while, so he tentatively asked: "How about I let that kid go? It's too restless to be too high-spirited."
"Why do you ask me if you have your own ideas? This is your mansion, not mine."
The old peak master said indifferently.
"However, you even met those who went through the back door. Since this kid has the guts to ask to see him, it doesn't matter if you meet him."
"To be honest, I'm a little curious about this kid after you've said so much."
Speaking of this, the old peak master raised his head to look at Elder Zhao, "It's rare to see you attach so much importance to a junior, maybe our Tiandu Peak will produce another amazingly talented person?"
"Where is it, that kid is far behind. Since you have no objection, Peak Master, then I will let that kid come over."
Wei Yi can be said to be supported by Elder Zhao. Now that the old peak master is interested, Elder Zhao is naturally willing to introduce him.
While speaking, he nodded towards the old servant.
After about a cup of tea, Wei Yi came to the back garden led by the old servant.
Seeing Elder Zhao and the old Peak Master in the pavilion, Wei Yi couldn't help being slightly stunned. He didn't expect Elder Zhao to have other guests here.
"I met Elder Zhao."
"I have seen seniors."
Wei Yi was neither humble nor overbearing, and greeted the two of them respectively.
"Why do you greet Elder Zhao first instead of me first? Why, do you think I am inferior to Elder Zhao?"
The old peak master raised his head slightly, with an indifferent expression, glanced at Wei Yi, and asked coldly without anger.
Elder Zhao didn't speak at this time, and he didn't even look up. He knew very well in his heart that this was the old peak master testing Wei Yi's quality.
Whether a person is outstanding or not depends not only on his cultivation talent, but more importantly on his heart and ability.
If other aspects are too bad, even if the talent is extremely high, there is not much prospect of development.
If Wei Yi was really just a fledgling kid, he might be intimidated by the old peak master's dismount, but it was obvious that Wei Yi was not.
Faced with such an unexpected situation, he was only slightly stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted.
Looking at Elder Zhao's performance again, Wei Yi could guess nine out of ten that the status of the highly crowned old man in front of him should still be higher than that of Elder Zhao.
And judging from the degree of acquaintance between the two, and their status being higher than that of Elder Zhao, the identity of this highly crowned old man is naturally ready to be revealed.
Wei Yi's eyes and pupils couldn't help but condense slightly. He didn't expect that he wanted to ask to see the peak lord, and now his dream really came true. To him, it can be said to be a real surprise.
Wei Yi's mind turned. He didn't lose his composure because of the identity of the other party, but reacted quickly.
"The reason why I greet you first and foremost is not because you are humble, Lord Peak Master, but because this is the residence of Elder Zhao."
"When I come here, I should meet the host first, and then the guests."
"Otherwise, wouldn't it be really impolite to meet the guest first and then the master?"
"At the same time, it also puts you, the peak master, in the position of taking the lead. That is the real indifference."
After hearing Wei Yi's explanation, the old peak master couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then he glanced at Wei Yi, unable to maintain his serious face, he laughed instead.
"This kid doesn't know about other aspects, but this mouth is definitely sharp."
"I asked a question casually, and he was able to give me such a reason, and after talking about it, it seemed that I should thank him. The key point is that I still think what he said is reasonable."
"This kid is really talented—"
