Chapter 1402: Tian Bannong
Chapter 1402: Tian Bannong
For Qi Xuansu, becoming a disciple of Sage Donghua was a good thing because it meant Qi Xuansu could rise to another level with a true backer. After all, Madam Qi’s influence was limited because she was not part of the Daoist upper hierarchy. The Zhang family would only support Zhang Yuelu, not Qi Xuansu. Only a master could be considered his true paternal lineage.But from a broader perspective, this might not necessarily be a good thing.
First, many conditions had to be met for this to happen. For example, his original master, Qi Haoran, had run into trouble. This was not good news for Qi Xuansu. Years of emotional attachment had suddenly been misplaced. Only he understood the bitterness of that, not to mention the chain of changes that would follow.
Every gain inevitably brought new problems. Qi Xuansu’s apprenticeship brought both benefits and risks. His conflict with Yao Pei and the Yao family would quickly intensify. This also meant that Sage Donghua was confronting the Earthly Preceptor.
That was why Qi Xuansu hesitated for so long and needed Madam Qi to push him into making the decision.
Meanwhile, the Green Phoenix Guard’s command office was thrown into turmoil after receiving an official note from Ziwei Hall in Jade Capital. Sage Donghua had personally inquired about the Green Phoenix Guard Commander’s well-being.
It was extremely simple and abrupt.
Since it involved Sage Donghua, no one dared handle it independently. It was immediately reported to the Green Phoenix Guard Commander.
When the Green Phoenix Guard Commander, Tian Bannong, received this letter, he was greatly shocked.
At Sage Donghua’s level, every action carried deep meaning. Others feared they might fail to fully grasp the intent behind it. Sending such a message for fun was something Little Yin could do, but not Sage Donghua.
From a factional standpoint, the Green Phoenix Guard and the Imperial Court stood with the Taiping Sect. Even if they followed the Daoist Order’s direction, they would take Sage Qingwei as their lead. Sage Donghua happened to be Sage Qingwei’s biggest rival, so it made no sense for him to message the Green Phoenix Guard.
If it was not related to the struggle among the three Daoist sects, could it be a personal grudge?
