A Qiu Shui disciple hurriedly ran in and announced: "This is terrible, Master. Mr. Sikong and Master Jiao are fighting for some reason!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard the sound and hurried to the place mentioned by this Qiushui disciple.
At this time, in the inner courtyard of Sikong Zhenjiu's residence, Jiao Xun and Sikong Zhenjiu were fighting, and the two were fighting each other.
Two completely different auras collided continuously, and there was a roar and flying sand and rocks all around.
After Jiao Xun met Sikong Yujiu by chance in Qiushui Villa, his anger became more intense. It was because of this shameless villain and prodigal son that he caused disharmony in his family and disharmony between his husband and wife. His wife ran away from home and has not seen her come back until now.
Since ancient times, the hatred of killing one's father and taking away one's wife are the most intolerable things for a man of seven feet.
This time I met him at Qiu Shui Villa. I really couldn’t find anything anywhere, and it took no effort at all!
How could we not avenge such a great hatred! ?
He would never let Sikong Zhenjiu off easily.
Therefore, he specifically asked the disciples at Qiushui Villa to find out where Sikong Zhenjiu lived, and hurriedly came to visit him. He vowed to teach Sikong Zhenjiu a lesson.
Jiao Xun's body was like a swimming dragon, and his momentum was like running thunder. The energy in his whole body exploded instantly, and with full firepower, he attacked Sikong Zhenjiu directly. Sikong Zhenjiu also faced him directly without any fear. The two of them just started fighting without saying a word, and the two sides were going back and forth. After a while, they were still indistinguishable, and they were evenly matched. The auras of both sides collided with each other, making a "chichi" sound. Jiao Xun's face was covered with big beads of sweat, and he was sweating profusely. He had indeed tried his best. But Sikong Zhenjiu acted as if nothing had happened, very relaxed. He obviously didn't use all his strength.
boom!
Sikong Yujiu and Jiao Xun exchanged palms at the same time, and Jiao Xun was instantly forced back by his sharp palm force.
Jiao Xun's face was red and he was panting continuously. It was obvious that he was exhausted, but he still didn't give up and wanted to continue to fight with him.
"Stop!" Just at this moment, Lin Haoran and others came here. Stopped them just in time.
"Master Jiao." Lin Haoran quickly grabbed Jiao Xun's wrist.
Yun Fan stepped forward, looked at Sikong Zhenjiu and asked, "What happened?"
Sikong Yujiu glared angrily and said, "Ask this mad dog!"
"Who are you calling a mad dog?!" Jiao Xun immediately shouted angrily.
Several heads such as Lin Haoran, Ge Da and Ming Dao all offered words of advice. With so many people coming, it was impossible to fight again; moreover, Jiao Xun couldn't let them see his joke. So, he had to stop.
But he was still angry and said loudly: "Okay, I won't argue with you, a shameless villain, today."
Sikong Zhen Jiuyou said calmly: "My wife ran away from home, but you came to blame me. I don't care about you for the sake of Alliance Leader Lin."
Sikong Yujiu immediately retorted his words, showing no mercy to Jiao Xun. He also deliberately pretended to be in need of a beating, which only made Jiao Xun so angry that his throat was filled with smoke and his teeth were itching with hatred, but he was helpless.
Sikong Zhenjiu thought to himself: I just like to see you look like you hate me and blame me, but you can't kill me!
"You..." Jiao Xun was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.
Yun Fan glanced sideways at Sikong Zhenjiu and asked urgently: "What have you done?"
Judging from the situation at the scene, he roughly knew that Sikong Zhenjiu must have done something serious to offend Jiao Xun. If not, Jiao Xun would not have fought with him regardless of his face as soon as they met.
"I didn't do anything." Sikong Zhenjiu said casually: "I just drank with his wife and never saw her again."
Damn it, such a thing was said so casually, as if it was explaining a trivial matter.
You know, at that time, a woman's reputation and chastity were very important, even more important than her own life. The three obediences and four virtues, and the seven rules of conduct must be kept in mind at all times, and no one of them should be violated. If someone violates the law, he will be paraded in public and dipped in a pig cage, and even the government will not be able to control him.
And he, Sikong Zhenjiu, actually hooked up with a married woman, and said so openly, I don't know if he did it on purpose, or if he didn't care at all.
Jiao Xun pointed his finger at Sikong Zhenjiu and shouted to everyone: "You have all heard it. You have admitted it yourself."
Sikong Yujiu shook his head and said: "It seems that what I said to your wife is absolutely right. A woman as gentle and pleasant as her actually married a rude person like you. It's like a flower stuck in cow dung. , it is reasonable for her to run away from home."
Jiao Xun: "You..." (@#￥)
Qinxian advised: "Master Jiao, don't worry too much. I think it's possible that your lady is just going out to relax and will be back soon."
Lin Haoran smiled and said: "That's right. Both of you are my friends, Lin Haoran. Please treat me as a favor this time. Everyone, take a step back and stop fighting here."
Jiao Xun said angrily: "This despicable villain is a womanizer, and everyone in the world knows it."
Sikong Yujiu chuckled: "You also believe the rumors in the world. Don't say it's pure nonsense. Even if it's true, the person I hook up with will be a beauty like Mrs. Lin."
Hearing this, Yun Fan's eyes were condensed, and the voice on his lips suddenly dropped: "You're going too far!"
When Lin Haoran heard this, the expression on his face instantly froze, his eyes were slightly cold, he looked at Sikong Zhenjiu and said: "Mr. Sikong has repeatedly made frivolous remarks, no wonder others say you are a prodigal!"
"Although Mr. Sikong has never actually done anything unethical, having such evil thoughts is not tolerated by us upright people." After Lin Haoran finished speaking, he slowly turned his head, his face expressionless. Joy.
Qin Xian and Yun Fan both glanced at each other at this moment, and then quickly turned their gazes sideways.
Although what Lin Haoran said was very relaxed and plain, Sikong Zhenjiu still felt something unusual from it, especially his last sentence, "It is no longer tolerated by our righteous people", which was so straightforward and euphemistic. Lin Haoran's attitude was very obvious. He hoped that Sikong Zhenjiu would go down the mountain on his own and not let him chase away the guests. It's just a matter of issuing an eviction order directly.
Sikong Yujiu's expression changed slightly, and he frowned: "From Master Lin's tone, it seems that he doesn't welcome me?!"
"Yes," Jiao Xun said with a gloating smile, "Do we need to issue an eviction order?"
How could he not be happy when someone finally helped him vent his anger.
Yun Fan said: "I invited Brother Sikong to Qiushui Villa. Since he is leaving, I can't stay for a long time."
Sikong Zhenjiu said coldly: "Why are you talking so much? This is completely burning bridges. These are the so-called righteous people. Hum!" After saying that, Sikong Zhenjiu turned around and left coldly.
Lin Haoran didn't say anything for a long time, let alone see them again.
In fact, this can't be entirely blamed on him. This Sikong Zhenjiu is just too poor at speaking. He actually openly said something frivolous about his wife in front of Lin Haoran. This would make anyone angry.
What's more, who is this Lin Haoran? He is also the owner of Qiushui Villa and the leader of the Righteous Path. He is a person of status. Sikong Yujiu said such frivolous words in front of him. So many people With everyone present, how could he, the leader of the alliance, have any face? Lin Haoran did not get angry on the spot, but was already very restrained.
But it can be seen that his face is very bad at this time.
Yun Fan gave a slight salute to everyone and said, "Everyone, Yun takes my leave." His eyes only stayed on Qin Xian for a moment, and then he left.
Qinxian lowered her head and didn't look at him.
————
As night falls, a bright moon rises in the sky. The moonlight shines in softly like frost and snow.
In the hall of Qiushui Villa. There was an atmosphere of sadness and sadness everywhere.
Lin Haoran was still sitting in that unique seat, but this time his face was turned sideways, with a rare cold and gloomy look in his eyes. Maybe it was influenced by the two incidents involving Ye Yanran and Sikong Yujiu today.
The disciples who were kneeling below were of course begging for Ye Yanran's mercy.
"Master, the people from Ba Dao Sect and Zhongxin Hall are actually really over the top, and my disciple has seen it with his own eyes. Therefore, Yan Ran's behavior this time is absolutely excusable," Shen Qianxing said.
Yu Wanfei said: "Yes, Master! They also slandered our Qiushui Villa."
"Father, please don't drive away senior sister." Lin Yuqing knelt down and bowed her head. The saddest one among them is of course her.
At this moment, she felt the most uncomfortable, full of guilt and self-blame. He made his own mistakes, but asked his senior sister to take the blame for him.
"Please don't drive away Senior Sister! Master." All the disciples below bowed their heads and begged for mercy.
Lin Haoran turned his head just now and uttered two words firmly between his lips: "No!"
After Lin Yuqing heard this, she quickly blurted out: "It was not the senior sister who injured them at all."
Lin Haoran's eyes were cold: "She wasn't the one who was injured, was it you who was injured?"
"I..." Lin Yuqing stopped talking. She originally wanted to say that she had done this, but for some reason, she couldn't say it as soon as the words came to her lips.
"Let me tell you," Lin Haoran said coldly: "Even if you are the one who committed the crime this time, I will still mercilessly expel you from the school."
"..." Lin Yuqing slowly lowered her head, knelt on the ground, and remained silent.
She knew that as soon as her father said these words, it meant that he was determined to expel the senior sister from Qiushui Villa. Moreover, Lin Haoran was furious at this time and wanted to explain to the heads of the major sects and the injured disciples.
She knew in her heart that it seemed that if she wanted her father to take back his life now, she might not be able to, and she would have to do it slowly in the future.
Lin Haoran said with a stern voice: "If any of you plead for Yanran again, just leave with her!"
The people below suddenly fell silent, and no one dared to speak anymore.
Ye Yanran walked in slowly from the outside at this time, every step he took was so heavy.
"Master!" With tears in her beautiful eyes, she walked up to the fellow apprentices.
Lin Haoran looked sideways and did not look at her.
"Yanran..." Seeing her like this, Qinxian, who was standing beside Lin Haoran, felt heartbroken.
"Senior sister!" Lin Yuqing shouted sadly. Looking at her apologetically.
Lin Yuqing didn't know at this time that her senior sister must have known that she had done this, and she didn't want to be punished by her master for this again. He was willing to take on this matter to protect himself. But he got into trouble one after another, and even implicated her.
The shame in my heart cannot be greater.
In the last inner demon incident, because of her own impulsiveness, she was injured by the inner demon and was seriously injured; but this time, because of her own impulsiveness, her senior sister was expelled from the school. Lin Yuqing felt very unhappy.
No words can express her guilt towards Yanran.
Ye Yanran turned her head, looked at the brothers who were still kneeling on the ground, and whispered: "Yanran is very grateful to everyone for interceding for me."
Ye Yanran slowly turned her head and knelt on the ground: "Yanran, thank you Mr. Lin for your support over the years. Yanran can no longer serve you, so please take care of yourself!" After saying sadly, Ye Yanran fell heavily to the ground. The ground kowtowed three times.
Lin Yuqing's beautiful eyes were filled with tears and she sobbed softly. She had no way to change her father's decision because he knew his father's temperament very well.
Although Lin Haoran never looked at her from beginning to end, you could still see that his chest was rising and falling heavily. After all, Ye Yanran was brought up by him. He has always regarded her as his own and has deep feelings for her.
This time, he felt very sad, but also helpless. But he must suppress this emotion, because he is the leader of the five righteous sects and has heavy responsibilities. Moreover, this matter involves other sects, so he naturally wants a bowl of water to be balanced and cannot leave anything to other sects. To protect one's shortcomings.
Therefore, we can only wrong her for the time being.
On the second day, Ye Yanran said goodbye to all her fellow apprentices one by one. Before leaving, her apprentice wife saw her off.
Because Lin Haoran had already issued a death order before, not allowing his disciples to see her off. Although everyone wanted to go to see her off, they had no choice... so only Qinxian saw her off, because in private, Qinxian and Ye Yanran's relationship is very good, and she is the only one who can not worry about Lin Haoran. After all, she is Lin Haoran's wife and the mistress of Qiushui Villa.
Qinxian said softly: "You leave this time, my wife is really reluctant to leave you."
"Actually, I can't bear to leave you all." Ye Yanran whispered. His eyes seemed to be full of reluctance for Qiushui Villa.
"Master Wife believes that you will never do anything to harm other disciples."
"Master's wife!" Ye Yanran cried out.
Qinxian continued: "Because this is a troubled time, if the five major sects of the righteous path have different intentions because of this matter, people in the demonic path will take advantage of it. I also hope that you can understand your master's mood and don't blame him."
Ye Yanran said: "How could it be?! Of course I won't blame the master."
"Master Madam, I know that you understand the righteousness well. I can't help you with anything now, but I can promise you that after the battle to seize the seal is over, I will definitely try my best to persuade your master to let you return to Qiushui Villa."
Ye Yanran: "Thank you, Master."
What Ye Yanran and Qin Xian didn't know was that after Ye Yanran was expelled from Qiushui Villa this time, he never officially came back and became a disciple of Qiushui Villa again. Therefore, the Qiushui Villa at that time was no longer the same as before, and Ye Yanran's fate also underwent great changes.
Ye Yanran was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said: "Actually, there is one more thing. I hope you can promise me."
Qinxian asked: "What's the matter?"
Ye Yanran said seriously: "I know that Master has a deep affection for Master. I hope Master can take good care of Master and always be by his side to support him!" Suddenly thinking of Master's relationship with Yun Fan, Ye Yanran felt uneasy. Hence this saying.
Qin Xian said: "It is my duty as a wife to take care of your master. Don't worry, I will take care of him wholeheartedly."
"That's good!" After receiving Qin Xian's answer, Ye Yanran's expression improved slightly, and the depressed atmosphere of parting suddenly faded a lot.
"By the way," Qinxian asked, "Where do you plan to stay?"
Ye Yanran said: "I have been an orphan since I was a child, with no relatives or friends. I plan to stay at the inn in Juxian Town first."
Qinxian nodded and said: "That's good. At least it will be much more convenient for me when I want to see you in the future."
"If anything happens, just let me know."
"Yes, I understand." Ye Yanran nodded lightly.
Ye Yanran said goodbye to Qinxian and went down the mountain towards Juxian Town alone.
Although Ye Yanran has been expelled from Qiushui Villa, the strange thing is that she has not shown any sadness since bidding farewell to Qinxian. At this time, her eyes are more filled with hatred and fierceness. , yes, it is the light of hatred.
She wants revenge, she wants revenge on Xuanming Palace, or more precisely, she wants revenge on Ying Shuntian, the current owner of Xuanming Palace!
Seeing this, everyone must be very confused, why does Ye Yanran, one of the original four heroes of Qiu Shui, have such hatred for Ying Shuntian of Xuanming Palace of Demonic Dao? So what's going on?
In fact, Ye Yanran has many secrets in her body, and she has not told anyone in Qiushui Villa, including Lin Haoran and Qin Xian, about these secrets.
For example, in fact, she is not a helpless orphan. Ten years ago, her father was Ye Xiao. Yes, it was Ye Xiao. That was Ye Xiao, the former owner of Xuanming Palace today. (This person was mentioned earlier.)
This matter involves a past incident from ten years ago. A rumor that may have been forgotten by the world for a long time.
Ten years ago, Xuanming Palace was only a second-rate force in the demon world, and Ye Yanran was only a four-year-old child at that time. And now the palace master of Xuanming Palace, Ying Shuntian, was his father's right-hand man back then, and the deputy palace master of Xuanming Palace was also his father's adopted son.
Before that, Ying Shuntian was just an ordinary disciple who had just joined the Xuanming Palace. His father did not know where he came from. It seemed that no one in the Xuanming Palace knew his origin.
Because he was decisive and resolute in dealing with things, he made many suggestions for Xuanming Palace in the confrontation with the righteous way, and made many contributions; and he was also loyal to his father. With his help, his father became even more powerful. Soon after, Xuanming Palace The power is getting bigger and bigger, and it has the beginning of today's scale.
His father was very happy because of this, thinking that he had introduced a thousand-mile horse. He adopted him as his adopted son and granted him the position of deputy palace master. He also made an exception and taught him Xuanming Palace's unique secret book "Netherworld Demonic Skills". Little did he know that he had introduced a scheming and ambitious jackal to himself.
She will never forget one day. It was the annual Laba Festival. Ying Shuntian bribed the cook, poisoned his father's Laba porridge in advance, brutally killed his father, and robbed the palace. The master's token, Mo Yu, forged his father's will by pulling his finger, and he succeeded him as the master of the Xuanming Palace. He also lied to the outside world that the palace master died because of practicing "Netherworld Demonic Art" and went crazy.
And when he announced that he was the new palace master of Xuanming Palace, the followers under Xuanming Palace surprisingly had no objection. Even if a few diehard loyalists of the palace master questioned this, soon after, they all Disappearing from people forever in various bizarre ways.
And their positions were later filled by Ying Shuntian's confidants. Most people in Xuanming Palace chose to acquiesce and agreed. After all, he had the palace master's token and testament in hand, and the testament could It's a fake, but the princess's token is absolutely authentic, and no one dares to question it.
Ye Yanran only knew at this time that many years ago, when Ying Shuntian was the deputy palace master, he had secretly cultivated his cronies and gradually placed his own people in some important positions, leaving those who were loyal to his father. People were replaced, and some were quietly eliminated, and all this was done in secret, everything was done perfectly, and my father was not aware of it at all.
Until the moment his father died, he still didn't understand why Ying Shuntian did such a treasonous act because he had not treated him badly! Do this to yourself.
This has to be said to be a sad thing. It wasn't until that moment that Ye Yanran realized that this man's heart was sinister and his world was sinister.
As for why she knew this clearly, it was because she was hiding in a cabinet in the room away from where her father died. She saw it all happen. She saw her father die tragically in front of her through the cracks in the cabinet. Such surprise and hatred, how great!
At that time, she was hiding in the closet and saw with her own eyes Ying Shuntian's last palm strike on her father's head. His father immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
Ye Yanran opened her mouth so wide that she could fit a goose egg in, and almost screamed. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn't cry out because she knew that if this was the case, she would end up like her father. Same fate.
As for why Ying Shuntian would let her go, you must know that a heroic figure like Ying Shuntian must know the principle of cutting the grass without uprooting it, and the spring breeze will revive it. Therefore, it is impossible for him to let Ye Yanran go.
So how did she escape successfully?
The answer is actually very simple, that is, someone helps her. And this person is Yan Yichun, the envoy of Jintang, one of the Five Elements Hall of Xuanming Palace. This person is a confidant promoted by Ye Xiao and is very loyal to him. He is also the only veteran figure in the Five Elements Hall who has not been eliminated by Ying Shuntian. The other four were cleared out by Ying Shuntian openly or secretly.
Yan Yichun had been very suspicious of Ye Xiao's death. Ye Xiao had played chess with him a few days ago. He was always in good health and there was no possibility of him going crazy. Therefore, he suspected that the palace master's death was Ying Shuntian's fault, and he also wanted to unite Ye Xiao and other people in Xuanming Palace to oppose Ying Shuntian afterwards. Unfortunately, those people either saw that the overall situation had been decided and immediately turned around. To surrender to the new palace master, or to oppose on the spot and be killed by Ying Shun Tianli Wei; his plan was stillborn before it could be implemented.
Finally, for the sake of the overall situation, and in order not to make unnecessary sacrifices, preserve yourself as a useful person so that you can make a comeback in the future and avenge the palace master!
Forced into desperation, he had to pretend to seek refuge with Ying Shuntian.
Before that, in order to test his loyalty, Ying Shuntian had given him full power to participate in cleaning up Ye Xiao's remaining forces.
While cleaning up the traces of the scene, he accidentally discovered Ye Yanran hiding in the cabinet and successfully rescued her.
For this reason, he killed everyone present and pretended to be assassinated by Ye Xiao's remnant forces. He also asked Kurouji to stab himself seriously with a sword, and then let Ye Yanran escape from the devil's cave. And before leaving, he left Ye Yanran a unique contact code that only the two of them knew, and two family heirloom swords - Tianyuan Sword and Tianyang Sword.
Ye Yanran, who escaped, had no choice but to live on the street because she was penniless, and happened to be taken in by Lin Haoran and his wife who were passing by. She followed them to her second home, Qiushui Villa, and stayed like this for ten years!
In ten years, everything seems like a lifetime ago.
Today's Xuanming Palace is no longer what it used to be. In the past ten years, under the leadership of Ying Shuntian, it has become the leader of today's demonic forces, and the demonic forces have become increasingly powerful under the leadership of Xuanming Palace.
I have to say here that Ying Shuntian's leadership and management abilities are indeed extraordinary, and he is worthy of being a hero of his generation!
It's no wonder Ye Xiao fell into his hands.
High positions are occupied by capable people. This is the rule of this world, the rule of the world, the rule that will never change!
On the contrary, the power of righteousness is gradually weakening.
Think about it, after the five masters of the Righteous Path were killed by their inner demons in order to cope with the battle to seize the seal, it was no longer possible to find any junior disciples with high martial arts skills among the five major sects of the Righteous Path. This also reflects from the side that the terrible motto [Devil's Long Way Eliminates] is about to become a reality, perhaps in the near future.
She has never told anyone the secret that Ye Yanran is the young master of Xuanming Palace. Therefore, no one in Qiushui Villa knew about it.
It's okay to let them know that, just imagine, the young master of the Demonic Path Xuanming Palace is actually one of the "Four Elites of Qiu Shui" of the Right Path Qiushui Villa, and a close disciple of Lin Haoran, the leader of the Right Path Alliance. By the way, in fact, Lin Haoran actually had only three formal disciples, and those were three of the Four Masters of Qiu Shui, the deceased senior brother Song Wanxi, the second oldest brother Shen Qianxing, and the third oldest brother Ye Yanran. As for Lin Yuqing, Strictly speaking, she doesn't count, because she is Lin Haoran's biological daughter.
One can imagine what kind of sensation this will cause in the world and what consequences it will bring.
If this matter is known to those with ulterior motives and bad intentions, Ye Yanran will become the target of public criticism, and Qiushui Villa will also be pushed to the forefront.
Ye Yanran's enemies will also learn the news that she is not dead and will become more cautious. At the same time, they will send their henchmen to eradicate her; in this way, her road to revenge will be far away.
In ten years, she has waited long enough, and she no longer wants to wait any longer. She wants to leave Qiushui Villa and find a way to take revenge by herself.
Although she has been protected by Qiushui Villa in these years, at the same time, her freedom has been restricted here, preventing her from completing her revenge plan.
Therefore, when she learned that Lin Yuqing secretly wounded those disciples in order to vent her anger on her senior brother, she immediately realized that this might be an excellent opportunity to leave Qiushui Villa and take revenge on Shuntian.
In this way, even if her identity is secretly exposed in the future, Qiushui Villa can stay out of the matter and not be burdened by her. And as kind as she is, killing Ying Shuntian is just her personal enmity, and she doesn't want to involve Qiushui Villa too much.
As everyone knows, in this turbulent world, Qiushui Villa, as a force of righteousness, has long been unable to stay alone. It's not like she said she doesn't want to be involved, so she won't be involved. It's just that she doesn't know she's in the chess game yet!
Since ancient times, people's hearts are unpredictable. Wherever there are people, there will be disputes. Wherever there are disputes, there will be rivers and lakes. The rivers and lakes are like a chess game. Everyone in the world is in the game, and no one can survive alone.
In the past ten years, it was Lin Haoran and his wife who took her in, and she was able to grow up smoothly under the protection of Qiushui Villa. Ye Yanran is not a cruel person, on the contrary, she is very affectionate and righteous.
Lin Haoran and his wife and Qiushui Villa had given her the kindness to raise and protect her. She had nothing to repay in this life, so she had to tie a grass ring in the next life and work as a cow or a horse to repay the kindness!
