Who did this?!
Who the hell did this?!
Under the mask, Taoist Taotie roared, and the sound directly turned into a shockwave that blasted towards Old Antique. Old Antique raised his hand lightly and neutralized the impact.
"Senior brother … you did this, didn't you?"
As he spoke, Wang Ling felt the roots of Taoist Taotie's teeth chatter.
Old Antique: "???"
And Wang Ling, the instigator of all this, was secretly observing on the side. "…"
For some reason, Wang Ling felt that things had become troublesome.
But from the moment they had met until now, apart from the first collision of auras, they hadn't shown any obvious intention of fighting … which made it very awkward for Wang Ling to watch on the side, because he felt that he would only be able to display his skills when they really started fighting.
So whether to fight or not to fight … Wang Ling didn't know what to do.
Then there was another problem: when they really started fighting … how on earth could he help resolve the conflict between these two fellow disciples and mediate the fight without exposing his own identity?
Wang Ling had already skimmed through the outline of Mother Wang's novel. There weren't any large-scale group attack skills in the outline; most of them were single-point assassination attacks, which were all tailor-made for the assassin profession.
So Wang Ling guessed that if the two of them really started fighting, it would most likely be in close combat and using hidden weapons. Among them, the most famous close combat skill in Mother Wang's novel was the "Thousand Years of Anal Explosion Kill."
Thus, Wang Ling felt that if the two of them really started fighting, the scene would definitely be very beautiful.
The two of them were silent for several minutes as they faced each other. Old Antique slowly said, "Actually, you didn't intend to sacrifice these kids downstairs to accumulate spirit power to restore your appearance, did you? You made such a big fuss just to lure me out. If this array for storing spirit power was really so important, you definitely wouldn't be reacting like this … "
Under the mask, Taoist Taotie's face darkened. "Senior brother, what do you know?"
Old Antique: "You and I both entered the Ghost Axe Sect because we picked up a cultivation manual. You've revered Shizun ever since you were young. Although we've never met Shizun in person, you can't possibly violate the sect rules that Shizun wrote on the title page of the cultivation manual. Although our Ghost Ax Sect is a sect that specializes in assassinations, the people we assassinate are the most vicious and evil people in the Cultivation World … "
Speaking up to this point, Old Antique sighed. "Shizun said that every time you kill a vicious criminal, you get one hundred killer merit points. Once he collected a million, he would be able to meet his master in person. However, if the innocent were harmed, five hundred thousand merit points would be deducted. From the day we picked up the original copy of the cultivation method, we dreamed of meeting Master. This is the only thing you will never change. "
Wang Ling was greatly shocked by these words … Mother Wang had indeed written about killer merit points in the outline of her novel, but that was just a setting in the outline!
Wang Ling dropped his forehead into his hand and suddenly felt a deep pain in the ass. He never thought that these two people would actually interpret it to this extent …
…
"So when I found out it was you who did it, I wasn't worried at all. I grew up with you; when we were kids, you couldn't even bear to kill an ant. How could you be so heartless as to kill this bunch of innocent children? "
Speaking up to this point, Old Antique simply sat down cross-legged with a very solemn expression on his face.
Feeling around in his pocket, he took out a bag of spicy strips. He took one out and put it in his mouth, then raised the package to the man in front of him and asked, "Do you want it? It's delicious! "
"…"
Taoist Taotie was speechless for a very long time. He took a deep breath. "Aren't you going to explain what happened with Black Gauze?"
Old Antique was silent for a long time before he said sadly, "It was indeed my fault. So all these years, I've been atoning for it … "
"But he's just a six-year-old child …" Taoist Taotie lowered his head, and two drops of tears rolled down from under his mask onto the ground. Although Wang Ling was very far away, he could see this scene very clearly.
"I know."
Old Antique's expression was as heavy as the atmosphere. "After what happened back then, you refused to listen to my explanation. Of course, I know that any explanation would be superfluous to you. When I came back from a mission back then, I didn't see you for a while, so I actually didn't know about Black Gauze's existence at all … I also didn't know that you and Black Gauze were actually so close. "
Taoist Taotie clenched his fists tightly. "After I became ugly, Black Gauze was the only one who looked me in the eye. Even you, senior brother … became like everyone else, and refused to look me in the eye. "
"You're wrong."
Old Antique suddenly raised his head. "I've never discriminated against you. After you ruined your appearance by cultivating the wrong art, I also tried to cultivate it in order to find a way to break it … but unfortunately, I failed. "
Taoist Taotie was stunned. "Senior brother, what are you talking about?"
Old Antique sighed. "I also became fat because I cultivated the wrong art. I didn't mean to hide from you, I just didn't want you to see me like this … "
Speaking up to this point, Old Antique took out a glass bottle from his chest pocket, which was the express delivery he had received in the toilet. "This bottle contains a powerful appearance-shaping pill that I bought online. With it, I can just about restore my original appearance. But unfortunately, it's getting shorter and shorter … At first, after I became fat because of cultivating the wrong art, I could last two or three days with a powerful appearance-shaping pill. But now, even two or three minutes is very difficult. "
Wang Ling was stunned; he hadn't expected the story to actually be like this.
After listening to the whole story, Taoist Taotie also clenched his teeth tightly. The atmosphere was very sad, so sad that Wang Ling didn't know what to say.
"I harmed Black Gauze and cultivated the wrong art, which caused me to become fat. More importantly, I didn't want you to see me like this. So after that, I directly withdrew from the killing circle. Now that I'm a teacher, it can be considered a kind of atonement … "
Old Antique laughed bitterly as he stood up from the ground and walked step by step toward Taoist Taotie.
He opened his mouth, but wasn't able to say a single word.
He couldn't help the tears in his eyes. "How about it, junior brother? Are you willing … to forgive me? "
Taoist Taotie didn't respond for a long, long time, but he was actually sobbing uncontrollably under his mask.
Two fellow disciples who had been enemies for a long time were actually crying their eyes out when they saw each other …
The corner of Wang Ling's mouth twitched at this scene.
He had spent half a day setting up the barrier, but in the end, these two people didn't even fight … they really didn't give him any face at all!
Just as Wang Ling was lamenting in his heart, Taoist Taotie actually took out a photo from his chest pocket and stared at Old Antique, his voice a little choked up. "You … you, apologize to Black Gauze! Apologize! Then I'll forgive you! "
At the same time, Wang Ling, who was looking at this photo in the dark, was stupefied!
Hm … if he wasn't wrong.
The Black Gauze in the photo …
…
…
…
