"There's no need to pretend to be asleep, you can't hide the sound of your heartbeat."
Wei Shiqi slowly got up and saw a middle-aged man standing on a high place with his hands behind his back, looking down at him. His face was long and narrow, and his facial features were as strong as an axe. He had quite a bit of white hair on his temples and a cold expression. Angry and self-defeating.
"You heard it just now, you're not in a hurry to leave, that's a bit clever. Which sect are you from?"
Wei Shiqi took a few steps back and said, neither humble nor arrogant, "I was originally a disciple of the Xiandu Sect."
"Xiandu?" The middle-aged man frowned, "What about now?"
"I am honored to be the disciple of Kunlun."
"I have seen all the Kunlun disciples who came from the Immortal Capital over the years, but you are not among them."
"Disciple just became a disciple yesterday."
"Whose disciple?"
Wei Shiqi didn't know his master's name, and Ruan Jing didn't mention it either. He could only say, "It's a senior sister named Ruan who introduced me."
"Ruan?" The middle-aged man thought for a moment and concluded that he was bluffing. The only female cultivator named Ruan in Kunlun was the disciple of the master, so how could she accept him as her disciple? His face suddenly darkened, and a sword light shot up into the sky from his back, slashing towards the opponent's right arm, intending to break off his arm and teach him not to be disrespectful and talk nonsense.
Wei Shiqi was on guard early. He swung out the iron rod and hit him forcefully. He heard a "bang" sound, his arms lost consciousness, and his chest felt as if he had been hit by a hammer. Blood spurted out from his mouth, and he could not stand still. , and fell into the stream involuntarily.
The middle-aged man waved his hand and took the flying sword into his hand. The sword buzzed and trembled, and it took a long time to calm down. "You actually used an iron rod to block my sword. When did Xiandu..." He suddenly raised his head warily and saw a young girl in green standing beside the stream. Her skin was as bright as snow, she was independent from the world, and her beautiful eyes were watching quietly. Hold yourself.
"Five Elements Sect Huo Mian... I have met Elder Ruan." He paused, bowed, and had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Ruan Jing waved her hand, "You are reckless. The person you pushed into the water is my junior brother. In terms of seniority, I should call you senior brother."
Huo Mian's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help Wei Shiqi up, and apologized in a low voice.
Wei Shiqi was dripping with water all over his body and was in a miserable state. He reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth and muttered: "It's not strange, it's not strange."
These words pierced Huo Mian's heart like a needle, and he straightened his back unconsciously.
Stubborn, stubborn, proud, and impulsive, this was the first impression Huo Mian left on him. Wei Shiqi knew that the other party was dissatisfied, but now that the matter was over, no matter whether he acted arrogant or polite, he had nothing to do with Huo Mian. It's an insult to say so. Wei Shiqi thought for a while and simply asked directly: "There is one thing that I wanted to ask just now. I wonder why Senior Brother Huo instigated the Pingyuan faction to provoke Xiandu?"
Huo Mian's pupils shrank slightly, his whole body tensed up, and he closed his mouth tightly without saying a word. After being beaten and beaten, and unable to ask, Wei Shiqi was a little embarrassed. He looked up at Ruan Jing, but saw that she was smiling and saying nothing. She obviously planned to stay out of the matter and see how he would deal with it.
Wei Shiqi gave a bitter smile and said: "Forget it, senior brother refuses to say it, that means he has other reasons, and I won't make it difficult for you. This matter was initiated by the Pingyuan faction first. I will ask Senior Sister Ruan to make the decision and ask. Ask Master Ji of the Pingyuan Sect what is going on."
He figured out Huo Mian's temper, and his tone was very calm and unhurried, but he pushed him into a blind corner step by step. Wei Shiqi clearly threatened him and wanted to pour dirty water on the Pingyuan Sect. Unless he made up his mind to cut off the gecko's tail and abandon the Pingyuan Sect, otherwise his words would affect Chiyu. Huo Mian's eyes were about to split and he said loudly: "This matter is the fault of the Xiandu Sect and has nothing to do with the Pingyuan Sect!"
"Speaking."
As soon as the words came out, there was nothing to hide. Thinking of the past, Huo Mian's eyes turned red and he was filled with anger that he could not contain. He recounted the grievances between the Huo family, Xun Ye and Wei Rongniang one by one, and finally said bitterly: " The fault of this matter lies with Wei Rongniang and Xun Ye. They killed the orphans and widows of the Huo family. I, Huo Mian, am shattered into pieces and I will avenge them!"
"No wonder Zhao Zongxuan was hesitant at first, and Master, Master and Uncle looked so embarrassed!" Wei Shiqi shook his head, feeling that it was impossible to say who was right or wrong in this kind of thing. For him, of course, he would help his relatives rather than take care of them, and always stand on the defensive. Rong Niang spoke for her. The death of the Huo family's mother and son was an accident. She cannot be blamed entirely. Everyone has the right to pursue happiness. It is inappropriate to serve a tuberculosis ghost and use her status as a child bride to imprison her freedom. Love, and unreasonable, but these emotions do not belong to this era, and he has no right to question them.
"Then what do you plan to do according to senior brother's wishes?"
Huo Mian's heart skipped a beat and he gritted his teeth and said, "I want the Xiandu sect to be ruined. I want that Wei Rongniang to kneel in front of the Huo family's ancestral grave, disembowell her, pay with blood, and let out such a bad breath!"
Wei Shiqi was a little helpless and could only say: "Okay, thank you, senior brother, for clearing up the confusion."
In order not to implicate the Pingyuan faction, Huo Mian took the responsibility on himself. Unexpectedly, Wei Shiqi was neither angry nor worried. He thanked him lightly and said nothing more. He didn't recover for a moment, and turned to ask Ruan Jing: "Elder Ruan, do you think this matter is right or wrong?"
Ruan Jing raised her chin towards Wei Shiqi and said, "Say."
Wei Shiqi was silent for a moment and said: "Not all things can be distinguished from black and white. They are also right and wrong, and this is right and wrong. It cannot be explained clearly, and it cannot be distinguished clearly. In my opinion, sword masters, Whoever has the sharpest sword will be justified. Senior brother has dragged the Pingyuan Sect into personal grudges. I feel it is inappropriate and I don’t agree with it."
Huo Mian was stunned for a long time and bowed to the ground.
