Is this still possible? Can I still go back on the terms I agreed to?
The expression on Mu Qing's face was wonderful. He didn't know what to say for a moment. Suzaku felt his sudden silence clearly and asked curiously: "Is there anything wrong with this? If I regret it, you can bring it up again. One condition.”
Mu Qing sighed and said seriously: "Maybe you have never negotiated terms with anyone before, but you should know that the most basic thing in life is to be honest. Since you have promised me, you must always keep it."
"However, maybe I didn't express it clearly enough. Asking you to take on the responsibility of safeguarding the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers does not require you to protect everyone's lives anytime and anywhere. I just hope that in the future, when you discuss dealing with the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, you can Speak up and object, or just stay silent.”
After a wordless silence, Suzaku said softly: "You are so kind to the people in Wanhua Valley. If this is your first condition, I can agree."
Mu Qing breathed a sigh of relief. The hidden core behind the Huangsong Valley ambush incident made him secretly alert. Before, he thought it was a series of conspiracies designed by Hidden Valley against Wanhua Valley, but now he realized that the target was him unknowingly.
At this moment, Mu Qing finally understood Jiang Shangxiu's previous advice. As a young and energetic young man, he always feels that there are still millions of mountains pressing down on you, and you can resist them with your shoulders, but what about the people around you?
Hidden Valley wants to deal with someone, and different people have different ways. A single force is as strong as a tree. Because he knew enough, Hidden Valley directly chose to attack from the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley. It could be said that it hit his weak spot by three inches.
The problem is also highlighted: unless he is really alone and has nothing to worry about, then constantly setting up strong enemies, regardless of whether he can sleep soundly, will eventually affect the people close to him.
A very obvious sign can be foreseen: for a long time in the future, everyone in Wanhua Valley will be implicated by him.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that he has established a proper relationship with Suzaku and is not as repulsive as before.
The scale of the spiritual energy storm seemed to be smaller by a factor or two. Mu Qing estimated how many times he would have to deliver Qi to Suzaku, and asked, "Although the Karmic Fire is still there, you should be able to stay awake, right?"
"Is there any problem?" Suzaku asked.
Mu Qing replied: "There are thousands of words in the Yuan Ying Bao Pu Jue. If you are conscious, I plan to dictate it to you next."
"Now?" Suzaku was a little surprised, his mood was so agitated that even his aura was a little unstable.
The zhenqi in the body was empty again. Mu Qing retracted the palm that fell on Suzaku's back, "Your breakthrough should last for some time. You still have time to confirm your wrong memory."
A method that can cultivate the soul seems to be at your fingertips. Suzaku tried his best to suppress the enthusiasm in his heart and asked in a steady voice: "What are your other two conditions?"
Mu Qing shook his head and stood up, "I haven't thought about the other two conditions yet... But you don't have to worry about me talking nonsense. With your level, you can definitely tell the truth from the lies."
Suzaku opened his mouth and sighed: "It seems that you can't change your prejudice against me for a while. That's not what I meant."
Her attitude was actually very good. Mu Qing was now introspecting, his eyes moved, and he nodded: "You are right, Hidden Valley is Hidden Valley, and you are you. Leave those two conditions for later discussion, and tell the magic formula in advance. Let me tell you, just think of it as a bit of sincerity between us."
After Mu Qing finished speaking, he rushed up into the air again. Now outside the storm, even Murong Xiu Ming and the other three people vaguely understood something through Mu Qing's actions. They slowly moved to Xuanwu and asked Xuanwu Said: "Is this kid really trying to help Suzaku break through?"
"The aura on Suzaku's body is not as chaotic and violent as before, and has been steadily improving." Xuanwu's eyes have been falling on Suzaku, who is sitting cross-legged in red. Although he did not answer Murong Xiu Ming and the others directly, the previous energy was gone from his body. That tense feeling of being ready to go.
Suzaku, shrouded in the storm, suddenly looked towards Xuanwu. Xuanwu immediately asked with his eyes, wondering what the boy and Suzaku were talking about. At this moment, he was actually quite surprised that Suzaku was able to chat with him.
Suzaku nodded slightly, indicating that the situation was now controllable. He shook his head slightly as he swept past Xuanwu. The tacit understanding between the two of them during the mission was reflected at this time. He immediately understood and took the initiative to pull back. In this way, Murong Xiu Ming and the others had no choice but to give up the idea of observing closely.
"Xuanwu, do you believe in this kid's character too much? What if he takes action when Suzaku reaches the critical moment?" Murong Xiuming felt a little uncomfortable and said it naturally.
"He won't." Xuanwu glanced behind him, and Murong Xiuming looked along. A little further behind, women like Ning Chu were quietly gathered in a group, looking up at the spiritual energy storm.
As if feeling Murong Xiu Ming's malicious gaze, Ning Chu turned sideways with disgust on his face.
Murong Xiu Ming snorted coldly and cursed secretly: "You self-proclaimed noble woman, one day I will let you climb into my bed." Suddenly some calculations came into his mind. With a tight smile on his lips, he looked back at the real floating person. That figure in the spiritual energy storm, I should have learned from Xuanwu and the others long ago. You really can't control it.
Xuanwu looked at these people in Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, and began to feel a little touched in his heart. People like Mu Qing, who were powerful but had obvious weaknesses, could actually play a greater role. Thinking of this, he inadvertently squinted at the three people beside him. People are all second-level cultivation, and they can reach such a state at such an age. Although they may be inferior to those geniuses in the big cultivation families, but looking at things like the Mugung Dynasty, they are considered top-notch in the entire continent. The secular dynasty is one of a kind.
It's just...compared to Mu Qing, he seems to be in the sky and on the ground.
Xuanwu recalled the extremely harmonious exchange between Zhuque and Mu Qing just now, and thought to himself: "They must have reached some conditions, but according to Suzaku's temperament, he probably won't tell Hidden Valley easily, let alone if she succeeds in breaking through..."
Xuanwu's heart sank, and his eyes behind the mask kept swaying, thinking of the man codenamed "Murong".
In the storm, the thick wind wall formed an independent space, blocking most prying eyes from the outside world. Mu Qing's cheeks couldn't help but twitch, enduring the pain and heat in his meridians.
He has only been a novice assassin for a few months, but he has experienced more things than he had in the previous twelve years combined. Now whenever he thinks of these things, he will have a desire to increase his strength. This desire has almost reached A level of paranoia.
In order to be able to survive this almost self-destructive way of increasing his strength, Mu Qing took the initiative to let go of his thoughts, and scenes would flash through his mind. Sometimes it's a dark secret room, sometimes it's a dirty alley, sometimes it's the morning in a city, and the candlelight that fell on the ground that night...
"Okay, if you continue like this, I'm afraid you will become possessed before this girl."
Meng Zhang's voice was like thunder on the ground, waking up Mu Qing.
"Thanks."
Mu Qing sweated profusely, his mind returned to calmness, and he fell downwards. Calculating carefully, without Meng Zhang's help, I don't know how many times I would have died. And in this help between life and death, through the enemies he fought against, Mu Qing also confirmed Meng Zhang's mystery and power again and again.
He has always been a person who lacked a sense of belonging and did not want to owe too many favors to others. When he thought about this, he could only sigh secretly.
"It's pointless for you to worry about this. You're not even qualified to help me now."
Mu Qing was silent and said sincerely: "You have already helped me so much. Even on the principle of equal exchange, I will definitely help you when I am strong enough. But first, if you ask me to hurt someone close to me or He is an innocent person and I will never agree.”
Meng Zhang's voice fell silent, and Mu Qing's emotions also settled into hidden worries in his heart. There were some things that he could know without having to explain them, but he really couldn't do without Meng Zhang's help, at least for now.
"Can we start?"
Suzaku tilted his head, and the corner of his eye fell on Mu Qing's face, full of expectation.
Mu Qing nodded, and after sorting out his emotions, he placed his hand on Suzaku's back. Using Suzaku's pleasant sigh as a starting point, he slowly spoke out the "Nascent Soul Holding Pu Jue" that was deeply rooted in his mind. .
This lecture only lasted for a stick of incense. Suzaku held his breath and kept silent throughout the whole process. Only after Mu Qing paused for a few breaths did he confirm that he had really finished speaking.
She closed her eyes slightly and recited this dharma secret in her heart. When she read it, she felt a refreshing and clear feeling as if she could see the moonlight when the clouds opened.
Maybe it was because of the darkness under the lamp, but Mu Qing didn't feel it as deeply as Xuanwu outside the storm. Xuanwu frowned and looked at Suzaku in surprise. The formation master's spiritual consciousness was one of the best at the same level, but he He felt that for a moment, a majestic consciousness that was even more powerful than him arose in Suzaku.
You must know that Suzaku has not only failed to break through, but is still resisting the erosion of karma fire at all times. In such a difficult situation, Suzaku not only improved his state of mind, becoming completely clear, but even his spiritual consciousness has vaguely stepped onto a new level. steps.
"Thank you."
After a while, Suzaku exhaled a breath of turbid air and spoke leisurely.
"Don't you need to confirm whether there are any mistakes?"
"No need. Just the 'Baopu' part makes me feel enlightened. This technique may be more precious than I expected."
With his spiritual consciousness reaching a higher level, Suzaku became more and more able to resist the karma fire in the sea of consciousness, and his words contained a bit of joy that was rarely seen in the past.
She inadvertently tilted her head again, and the corner of her eye focused on Mu Qing's face. She was full of curiosity about Mu Qing who just hummed as a response. However, considering Mu Qing's wariness towards her, Suzaku sensibly did not show up. He tried to test whether Mu Qing really had an adventure, but asked softly: "Why do you have such a big prejudice against Hidden Valley?"
"Aren't these things that have happened recently enough?"
"Then you should know that Hidden Valley has no intention of harming their lives."
"But you are always pushing your limits. Wanhua Valley brings a lot of benefits to Hidden Valley every year, but it can never satisfy your appetite. Until now, the people of Wanhua Valley are weak alone, so you have the intention to control the senior sisters and the others. "
Suzaku frowned, "I really didn't understand these things before."
Mu Qing raised his eyes, but Suzaku did not avert his gaze, "Whether you are concentrating on practicing and not understanding it, or you think it has nothing to do with you and don't want to understand it, but you are also the beneficiary, right?"
Suzaku was silent and thought for a while before speaking: "Since I agreed to your first condition, the situation in Wanhua Valley will be better in the future."
"Better?" Mu Qing raised his eyes. Suzaku did not avoid his gaze. Most of the scarlet brilliance of her eyes behind the mask had faded. At this time, her eyes said sincerely: "You may think that I am just one of the five people who secretly killed , but as long as I break through to the extraordinary level, my status will at least not be lower than Murong Yin."
Mu Qing's eyes swayed, and he lowered his jaw and said softly, "Thank you."
"No, it's me who should thank you after all!" Suzaku's eyes were clear, "Before you think about the other two conditions, you can ask me something and treat it as my sincerity."
