When Yu Shuyi heard His Majesty Yan Emperor's words, she immediately became nervous, clenched her fists, and looked very uneasy.
Zhou Xuan was calm enough and followed him silently.
His Majesty Emperor Yan quickly led the two of them to the main hall. He was not in a hurry to sit down, but looked back at the two of them. Tuoba Mountain was like a silent sculpture, always silent and with his head slightly lowered. Standing silently in the corner next to him.
The atmosphere seemed very quiet.
"Zhou Xuan, your performance is perfect, but it would be too naive to hide these lies from all of us. Gu Chuncheng of the Huadao Sect is dead, and they want to investigate it no matter what. I believe in your character. , knowing that even if Gu Chuncheng died in your hands, it was his fault first."
His Majesty Emperor Yan had a smile on his face, his eyes flashed with extraordinary wisdom, and he spoke very gently.
"Tell me what happened."
Zhou Xuan pondered for a moment, and it gradually became clear in his heart. It was exactly as he imagined. Although some of the matters he had made up were perfect enough, it was impossible to deceive the peak figures at the magic circle level. Things, now, His Majesty Emperor Yan can easily see it.
Yu Shuyi was so nervous that cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She looked at Zhou Xuan's back with some hesitation.
Zhou Xuan couldn't hide it and whispered something.
"Gu Chuncheng comes from the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"Oh? There is actually such a relationship. The Great Zhou Dynasty wanted to put you to death at the beginning, but now it is not dead, which is interesting. Please tell me carefully."
When His Majesty Emperor Yan heard this, he understood most of it immediately.
Zhou Xuan didn't hide much, and gradually explained the true story of the matter. He had deliberately concealed it before, simply because he didn't want these things to reach the ears of Xiao Li and others, so as not to cause unnecessary conflicts. Now he has gained the support of Emperor Yan. His Majesty's protection is naturally unnecessary and meaningless.
Zhou Xuan trusted His Majesty Yan Emperor, not only because of His Majesty Yan Emperor's identity, but also because His Majesty Yan Emperor did not criticize Zhou Xuan, but deliberately defended it. This can explain His Majesty Yan Emperor's attitude towards this matter.
Therefore.
Zhou Xuan said it without reservation, always keeping his head down.
"Yin Zhiyou betrayed me. I originally wanted to spare his life first and leave it to His Majesty to decide after leaving the mausoleum. However, there are many dangers in the mausoleum. I can't guarantee that I can guard against him at all times, so I decided to kill him. , this move is a bit over the top, please punish me, my disciple, I have no complaints."
His Majesty Emperor Yan nodded slightly while listening. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Apparently he did not expect that the whole story would be so complicated.
Yu Shuyi looked at Zhou Xuan's back with a complicated expression.
Zhou Xuan had almost nothing to hide. He clearly explained the reasons for the death of Gu Chuncheng and others. However, he did not say that Yu Shuyi was only one step away from betraying Zhou Xuan at that time. She obviously had some protection. thoughts.
When Yu Shuyi saw this scene, she felt like crying.
"I believe you have no regrets, but do you have no regrets?"
His Majesty Emperor Yan gradually listened to everything, then nodded and smiled, and suddenly asked.
"A disciple makes no mistakes, so he has no regrets."
Zhou Xuan pondered for a moment, and then answered seriously.
His Majesty Emperor Yan suddenly burst into laughter: "Since you know that you are not wrong, why should I punish you? Since it was Yin Zhiyou who betrayed first, you are naturally qualified to take his life on my behalf. As you said, what you did There is nothing wrong with my actions, and if I had put myself in his shoes, I couldn't have made a better choice."
Zhou Xuan's eyes flashed and he fell silent.
"You deliberately concealed these things. Are you afraid that if you tell these things, it will cause dissatisfaction among many forces such as Huadaomen and lead to some conflicts?"
His Majesty Emperor Yan suddenly turned to ask again.
Zhou Xuan hesitated, then nodded slightly.
His Majesty Emperor Yan looked into Zhou Xuan's eyes and spoke seriously: "But have you ever thought about it, the disciples of Huadao Sect died in the mausoleum for no reason, but you can't give a perfect explanation. There are many flaws, which will actually make them feel uncomfortable or even resentful?"
"this……"
Zhou Xuan fell silent, finding it difficult to respond.
"You are smart enough, but you didn't handle this matter properly. The disciples of Huadao Sect were at fault in this matter, so you can tell everything exactly as it is. As long as you keep the truth, I can naturally protect you. Now You deliberately lied, but you left a flaw that made people attack."
His Majesty Emperor Yan shook his head slightly.
The words are very admonishing.
"As you can imagine, Master Xiao and the others must be extremely dissatisfied when they see their disciples die, no matter what the reason is. However, as long as the facts are sufficient, I can make them speechless. Now You deliberately lied, if they knew it was you who carried out the murder..."
His Majesty Emperor Yan's eyes flashed, and his voice became heavier.
"They will inevitably point the finger at you. In addition, you deliberately concealed it this time. Even if they find out the truth in the future, they can still say that everything was concealed by you. In fact, you are killing people and seizing treasures. In this case, we have no reason to stand. Can’t stand still.”
Zhou Xuan was still vaguely understanding at first, but now he gradually understood it, and his expression became a little ugly. He couldn't imagine that he originally thought it was an act to maintain balance, but instead left it to the forces such as the Huadao Sect. It is an opportunity to break the balance, so it is definitely a good intention to do bad things.
Only now did Zhou Xuan understand what his problem was, and he immediately leaned down and spoke in a low voice.
"Disciple knows that he made a mistake, but I wonder if there is any way to make up for it?"
"It's your fault, but I can't blame you. You are naturally smart enough. Compared to believing that I will protect you, you are naturally more willing to believe in yourself, and you are also confident enough, so you will not feel that your thoughts are wrong. what is the problem."
His Majesty Emperor Yan gradually pointed out the core of the matter.
Zhou Xuan fell completely silent and found it difficult to respond. Only now did he understand the reason why he made such a mistake. It was because he was too confident that he ignored all kinds of details.
After all, Zhou Xuan is a young man. When facing big shots, he may not show any disadvantage on the surface. However, the city government and scheming will always be a little different, and the considerations are not comprehensive enough. People's lifespans of thousands or even tens of thousands of years, It's impossible to survive a dog.
He only understands this now and regrets it endlessly.
"You will gain wisdom after suffering a hardship. Just remember today. As for the impact of this matter, you don't have to worry."
His Majesty Emperor Yan suddenly smiled and spoke, no longer so serious.
