Tang Xuefeng said tit for tat:
"You can already be considered a slanderer. You and I both know who the members of the Salvation Alliance are.
"They won't do that."
Shen Zongdao sneered and said:
"They have already done it. I advise you not to underestimate these killers in the name of justice.
"The worst thing is that they can't tell the difference between right and wrong. These guys who are full of ideals can't see the reality at all. Even if there is no possibility of success, I have no doubt that Ma En will take the opportunity to bring us some irreparable damage." trouble.
"Sister You's death is the best example."
After hearing this, Tang Xueluan's face suddenly turned cold:
"Say one more thing."
Shen Zongdao was not frightened, and was planning to continue taunting the members of the hostile faction, taking the opportunity to make her lose control:
"Did I mean..."
But at this moment, a gentle greeting interrupted him:
"Three fellow Taoists..."
Shen Zongdao turned around in surprise and looked at Taoist Xiaoyao who was standing behind him.
He was a little surprised by Taoist Xiaoyao's involvement, but after a few seconds he realized what was going on - Ma En once killed Taoist Xiaoyao's disciples, and Taoist Xiaoyao came to regain his face.
So he came over while they were having a fierce confrontation, which made Shen Zongdao feel a little happy. Although Xiaoyao interrupted the good opportunity he created with the news of Shu Yun's death, if he also treated Ma En If there is hostility, that is naturally better for him.
If he is lucky enough, he might be able to take this opportunity to directly disrupt the plans of these Rong gang members.
But just as he was thinking about it, what Xiaoyao said next was beyond his expectation:
"Three fellow Taoists, now that we have important responsibilities, this does not seem to be a good time to quarrel."
Shen Zongdao did not expect that what Taoist Xiaoyao said was persuasion, but then it seemed very reasonable, because it was impossible for him to show his hostility to Ma En directly, and he could only join the conversation in this way. .
Moreover, Xiaoyao Te specially chose the right time to appear against Ma En, which already explains everything.
Thinking of this, Shen Zongdao naturally changed the expression on his face, calmly as if the person who had just been filled with indignation was another person, and then nodded quite cooperatively, showing a reflective look:
“You’re right, I shouldn’t argue with them at this time.
"But I'm also worried that this former follower of Shenxiao will do something irreversible."
Of course this sentence was a lie. He said it just to give Xiaoyao a chance to speak.
Although Shen Zongdao is a politician, he also knows who the experts are, and the guys from the federation and the institute are not worried about what problems Ma En's appearance will cause, which proves that he cannot cause any trouble.
But his unique identity is the most suitable place to attack. Although Shen Zongdao knows that Ma En cannot threaten the federation, other politicians may not all know it, and some people with abilities may not fully understand it.
And not to mention that Shenxiao's shadow is so deeply rooted in people's hearts. Even if they can clearly realize rationally that Ma En is not a threat, this idea may be shaken by Shenxiao after he repeatedly emphasizes it.
And his purpose of confusing right and wrong is also very simple, that is, to cause trouble for the two Jungbon faction members. Although the neoliberals did not recruit Marx and Engels because of hesitation and worry, that definitely does not mean that they are willing to watch the Jungbon faction. Take him under your wing.
That's why he was preparing to thwart the Bang faction's plan at this time, hindering the cooperation between Ma En and the Shu family, so that they could not successfully rely on this matter to gain a foothold within the newly established advisory department and the federation.
Of course, his target is actually the Rongbang faction. If we talk about Marx and En, he actually doesn’t care at all about what he wants or will do. Therefore, his criticisms are just nonsense. It’s just that Marx and En are unlucky to stand. On the opposite side of him.
Of course, he didn't care at all about people with abilities like Ma En.
Sure enough, Taoist Xiaoyao looked at Ma En as he expected, and then greeted him with a slightly curious expression:
"You are Ma En."
He nodded slightly:
"That's right."
While speaking, Ma En also glanced at Shadow quietly, as if he didn't notice Xiaoyao coming over at all, and continued to communicate with the other members at the table about the upcoming negotiations with a natural look.
Judging from Ma En's understanding of the shadow, he shouldn't have to worry too much about Xiaoyao.
But Xiaoyao’s next sentence is:
"You killed my greatest disciple Du Jin. I'm right."
When Shen Zongdao heard this, he felt happy. It seemed that God was really helping him. This strong man with a weird personality was not really moved by the federation's comfort at all. As expected, deep down in his heart, he still hated the guy who killed his disciple. .
And he is still an important member of this negotiation. As long as they cooperate, they can force Ma En and Tang Xueluan into a quite embarrassing position. At that time, Tang Xueluan will be forced to push out because he does not want to get into trouble, and all their plans will be in vain.
Seeing this, Shen Zongdao immediately raised his head and said:
"That's right, he made a fatal move while they were still competing. It was obviously just a sparring match. Everything he did after joining the Federation revealed a strange aura."
In fact, Shen Zongdao could figure out that Ma En was most likely forced to kill him without asking, but acting like a stupid politician made it easier to raise issues that were unfavorable to Ma En. As their enemy, he didn't need to be so " clever".
"No, this is not Fellow Daoist Ma En's fault." But Xiaoyao's next words shocked Shen Zongdao, "Fellow Daoist Shadow gave him the record of fighting with my disciple. Du Jin did die with evil intentions. Hand, his fate can only be said to be life or death."
But after saying this, Xiaoyao paused again, and then continued:
"But no matter what, Du Jin is my eldest disciple. He is the first disciple I accepted after coming here. He is also the one who has the best chance of all my disciples to break through the Nascent Soul within a hundred years and become what you call a V-level ability user." That one, and I have trained him for decades...
"So it's impossible to just let this matter go."
Shen Zongdao breathed a heavy sigh of relief. The first half of his words almost made him think that Xiaoyao was here to reconcile with Ma En, but fortunately, the second half of his words accurately expressed Xiaoyao's attitude, but he didn't expect Xiaoyao either. It would be so direct.
You must know that Xiaoyao has already swallowed this breath on the surface.
When these words were spoken, the movement of the shadow in the distance also paused obviously, and Ma En could feel that the Taoist priest with extraordinary temperament standing in front of him began to emit a certain heavy temperament. , which made him feel a little pressure.
But he still said with a normal expression:
"What do you want?"
Xiaoyao asked with a mysterious smile on his face:
"Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Ma En said as if it was none of my business:
"He wanted to kill me, and I didn't want to die, so I naturally wanted to eliminate the roots before he did it.
"And this is all arranged by the federation. I just accepted the federation's benefits to do things."
In fact, Ma En is not very worried about what Xiaoyao will do to him. Looking at the current situation, the most he can do is give himself a show of strength and say a few cruel words and the matter will be over. After all, he did kill his disciple. If Xiaoyao really He wouldn't be particularly surprised to do this.
But Xiaoyao just smiled
"That's not what I meant. It seems that you outsiders don't have this kind of culture.
"Let me put it this way, Du Jin is a disciple I spent decades training, but now he has fallen into the devil's path and killed other people for no reason. I, the master, should apologize to you for him. right."
These words were beyond everyone's expectations. Shen Zongdao was even more stunned on the spot. He didn't understand what Xiaoyao was doing. Was this strong man with a weird personality deliberately telling sarcastic words, or was he trying to obtain Ma En first? of trust.
But he is a level V ability user. Is this really necessary?
But no matter how he thought about it, Shen Zongdao couldn't think that Xiaoyao's words were sincere, because there was no reason for it. According to his superficial understanding, Xiaoyao was not the kind of person who would retaliate with kindness. Otherwise, there would be no need for Shadow to comfort him personally. He did.
Feeling that things were getting weirder, Shen Zongdao closed his mouth and planned to stand aside and watch what happened.
And Ma En also showed a surprised look:
"Master Xiaoyao, you..."
Xiaoyao raised his hand and waved:
"I know what you want to say, but even if you live in this era of broken etiquette and music, I can't abandon my own virtues. We practitioners must follow our own hearts and Taoism, otherwise we will become the demons in our hearts. Backlash.
"I said you should apologize if you want to apologize. Of course, I didn't just say it."
As he spoke, he took out a delicate small box from his arms, and then handed it directly to Ma En without caring about the eyes of the people around him.
"Put it away, these are three foundation-building pills and a foundation-building fake pill made from the corpse of my useless disciple."
After hearing that this was an elixir made with Du Jin, the three of them were a little at a loss. Shen Zongdao felt that things were going bad when he just heard that Xiaoyao was going to give Ma En something, but Xiaoyao's The words seemed to imply that Ma En had killed his disciple, which made him completely unclear whether Xiaoyao's apology was sincere or whether he was doing it secretly.
Ma En also looked a little strange:
"Corpse..."
Xiaoyao smiled as if he suddenly remembered:
"Forget that you don't understand the way of cultivation. The corpse in my words refers to Du Jin's broken golden elixir. For us heretics, it is just a trivial matter to refine the real elixir into a fake elixir. The golden elixir after death is just the same as the physical body. It's just something outside of reality.
"And if we want to practice in this spiritually barren world, we can't waste precious spiritual energy and resources. Don't worry, Du Jin won't mind if I refine him into elixirs. He will do the same if I die. "
Ma En was still a little wary of the so-called apology he handed over:
"but……"
Xiaoyao waved his sleeves involuntarily, and then the exquisite wooden box in his hand flew directly into Ma En's hand. In the process, Ma En also tried to dodge a few times, but he could only hold the wooden box in his hand firmly.
Xiaoyao, who forcibly gave away the gift, began to introduce:
"You can rest assured. If this Strengthening Origin Pill is given to ordinary people who have never entered the spiritual practice, if they smell it, they can go without eating, drinking or sleeping for seven days. If they taste the powder, they can cure all diseases. If they swallow it, they can cure all diseases." It can be reborn directly after entering the abdomen.
"Although it is not as powerful as the marrow-cleansing pill that can directly uplift the bones, it is more gentle in nature. Even ordinary people who have not practiced medicine can swallow it directly, and it can directly lead the person who takes the medicine to step into practice with half a leg.
"And if you don't intend to practice, taking this pill is not completely useless. Swallowing one pill can extend your life for a hundred years, two pills can extend your life for a hundred and fifty years, and then swallowing this pill can help ordinary people extend their life to two hundred years, and they can live without disease or disaster. The earth lives to be three hundred years old.”
Hearing this, Ma En's expression of rejection lightened a lot, and Tang Xueluan's eyes gleamed.
Only Shen Zongdao, who had not yet figured out the situation, was left confused and confused. He still did not understand what was happening in front of him at all. According to what Xiaoyao said just now, he seemed to have handed over to Ma the life-extending abnormal object that the Federation had been coveting. kindness?
But what are the benefits of this to Xiaoyao? Could it be that he had poisoned the elixir, but that doesn't make sense. Ma En doesn't seem like the kind of fool who would just take the elixir without thinking about it.
Or Xiaoyao wants to use this to use the federation to deal with Ma En, but Ma En is definitely not that ignorant. As long as the federation proposes to use benefits in exchange for the elixir in his hand, then Ma En will definitely not have the courage to refuse, and the federation's offer The price will definitely not make Ma En suffer.
Xiaoyao didn't wait for them to recover, and then introduced the remaining fake foundation-building pill:
"There is also a fake foundation-building elixir that can help practitioners in the qi-training stage break through the foundation-building stage. The pills refined with my alchemy are naturally of high quality. One pill can help 90% of qi-training practitioners to successfully break through. , if it were in our place, the pills at this moment alone would be sold at a high price.
"But this is not the world of cultivation after all, and you are not a cultivator, but this elixir will not be reduced to waste, and unlike the Strengthening Origin Pill, this elixir is not suitable for mortals to take. Generally speaking, only cultivators can use it. Yes, but I know you are not an ordinary person."
At this time, Shen Zongdao finally realized that something was wrong.
Is Taoist Xiaoyao really here to make amends? Although he has some evil aspects in other places that the Federation considers him to be, he has moral standards here that are far beyond their imagination and understanding?
Although he couldn't convince himself of this, it seemed to be the only answer, and it could indeed be explained. After all, he came from a completely different civilization than here.
Ma En also asked with some confusion:
"You said I'm not an ordinary person."
Xiaoyao smiled and said without directly explaining:
"If you take this medicine, it can help clear your bones and veins and make your body and soul more harmonious. However, the effect of the medicine is still not comparable to that of real spiritual energy, and its help to you is limited.
"After all, you are naturally gifted."
