"I'm in awe too!" Mu Qingfeng nodded.
If he still could not figure out Gu Yuan's motive and stance, he would be a disgrace to the Heaven Dao Pavilion's Pavilion Leader.
But …
How could he resolve this?
Mu Qingfeng's brows furrowed tightly. He really did not expect Tian Xing to use such a method. It was obvious that he was forcing him to go against the promise of the five sects being of the same root, and to fall into a situation where all four sects were opposing each other.
"Now that Fu Xi Valley's Elder Gu Yuan, Yin Yang Hall's First Disciple 'Wan Lei', and Ling Yun Tower's Cang Yue are here as witnesses, can Pavilion Leader Mu rest assured and let me take care of your niece?" Tian Xing looked at Mu Qingfeng's expression and his eyes flashed.
"No!" Mu Qingfeng replied immediately.
How could he not know what Tian Xing was thinking? On the surface, he wanted to bring Chi Guyan back to Nine Pinnacles Mountain, but in reality, he wanted to isolate Heaven Dao Pavilion.
Of course, as Tian Xing had said, even if Chi Guyan was brought back to Nine Pinnacles Mountain, Tian Xing would not do anything to her. After a month, he would bring the same conditions as the Thousand Years Fire Herb to Nine Pinnacles Mountain to exchange for her.
However, Chi Guyan was already injured.
How could he allow Tian Xing to bring Chi Guyan away at this time?
"Oh? I don't understand Pavilion Master Mu's words. I came here with good intentions to apologize. Why are you rejecting me? " Tian Xing did not seem angry. Instead, he smiled and continued, "Could it be that Pavilion Leader Mu doesn't want to see the five sects coming from the same root and lasting friendship? Or could it be that Pavilion Leader Mu thinks that our treasure, the Thousand Years Fire Herb, has been stolen?! "
When Tian Xing reached the end of his sentence, his tone became slightly heavier. His mountain-like aura was so heavy that the surrounding Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples could not help but take a step back.
"The five sects coming from the same root and lasting friendship?"
"The Thousand Years Fire Herb has been stolen? How is that possible? The Black Moon Island is heavily guarded. Furthermore, there are three Sages guarding it. Who could have stolen it? "
"What is Tian Xing trying to do?"
When the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples sensed Tian Xing's aura, they were all confused. They felt that something was amiss.
Mu Qingfeng's eyes narrowed slightly at this moment. He unconsciously clenched his fists, but quickly loosened them.
"No matter what Leader Tian says, I will never let you take Guyan away …"
"Master, I am willing to follow you to the Nine Pinnacles Mountain to recuperate." Chi Guyan's voice was weak, but she still interrupted Mu Qingfeng.
Then, Chi Guyan took a step forward slowly.
A gust of mountain breeze blew past.
The wind blew past Chi Guyan's black hair and pink dress, causing her beautiful face to look a little pale.
Nangong Hao instinctively moved his hand to his back the moment Chi Guyan stepped forward. However, he did not say anything.
When the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples saw this, they looked at each other. Although they did not know why Tian Xing insisted on bringing Chi Guyan to the Nine Pinnacles Mountain to recuperate, they did not know why.
However, they could see that …
That was not a good thing.
Even though Tian Xing had promised to use the Thousand Years Fire Herb to heal Chi Guyan.
"Senior sister, you can't go with him!"
"That's right, senior sister is seriously injured now, how can she travel?"
"That's right, if you want to recuperate, the Heaven Dao Pavilion has plenty of elixirs. Even if you have the Thousand Years Fire Herb, we don't need it. Please stay in the Heaven Dao Pavilion and don't leave!"
One by one, the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples tried to persuade her.
"Guyan, this matter …"
"Leader Tian is trying to apologize to me, how can I reject him?" Chi Guyan spoke again, not waiting for Mu Qingfeng to finish his sentence.
"Hahaha … You are indeed reasonable. You know the importance of the five sects being of the same root. If that's the case, please follow me!" Tian Xing laughed when he heard this.
He knew how important Chi Guyan was to Mu Qingfeng. As long as Chi Guyan went to the Nine Pinnacles Mountain, the Heaven Dao Pavilion would have no choice but to agree to her conditions.
"Yes, Leader Tian, please wait a moment." Chi Guyan didn't say anything else. She nodded her head lightly and turned to look at Mu Qingfeng. "Master, let me take care of Fang Zhengzhi."
"Guyan, are you thinking of …" Mu Qingfeng looked at Chi Guyan's eyes, then looked at Fang Zhengzhi, who was still in his arms. He suddenly thought of something.
When Chi Guyan left the Heaven Dao Pavilion, Yue 'er looked for him and told him that Chi Guyan wanted to go to the Black Moon Island to get the Thousand Years Fire Herb.
But why did Chi Guyan want to get the Thousand Years Fire Herb …
Yue 'er didn't say it clearly.
This was the loyalty of a personal servant to her master. Mu Qingfeng naturally knew what Yue'er was thinking. After all, Yue'er only wanted him to save Chi Guyan, and not to betray Chi Guyan.
Mu Qingfeng didn't ask further.
But now, after hearing Chi Guyan's words, he couldn't help but think about the answer to this question.
"Master, don't worry." Chi Guyan seemed to know what Mu Qingfeng wanted to say. She spoke again. Her beautiful face was filled with determination.
But …
As for Mu Qingfeng, how could he be at ease?
However, Mu Qingfeng didn't ask further. He just quietly put Fang Zhengzhi down. At the same time, he looked at Yan Qing and Nangong Mu, who were still fighting. Then, he shook his head gently.
As for why Mu Qingfeng shook his head …
Then no one knew.
But all the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples saw a shocking scene.
After Mu Qingfeng put Fang Zhengzhi down, Chi Guyan immediately hugged Fang Zhengzhi. At the same time, she pressed one of her hands on Fang Zhengzhi's chest.
At this moment, the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples saw a hint of anxiety on Chi Guyan's face. Furthermore, other than anxiety, there was a hint of natural gentleness.
Gentleness?!
Chi Guyan had been in the Heaven Dao Pavilion for many years. Although she interacted with the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples from time to time, she had never had any physical contact with any of them.
But now …
Hugging a man and showing such gentleness on her face. Even though this gentleness was fleeting, it was enough to make all the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples' jaws drop.
"Senior sister, she … she …"
"That rumor can't be true, right?!"
"What rumor?"
"I heard that senior sister and this guy have a … a marriage contract …"
"What?! That's impossible! "
The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples widened their eyes in disbelief as they witnessed this bizarre scene.
Nangong Hao's face turned pale. However, this paleness didn't last for long. Very quickly, he regained his composure. However, he clenched his fists tightly behind his back.
Of course, there were two other people who clenched their fists as well.
When Great Xia Dynasty's Emperor Lin Mubai and Xian King Lin Yun saw Chi Guyan carrying Fang Zhengzhi, they clenched their fists as well. Their faces were filled with anxiety.
Chi Guyan didn't seem to care about the voices around her. After pressing her hand on Fang Zhengzhi's chest a few times, she frowned slightly.
"Leader Tian, I'll bring him down to rest and change my clothes. Then, I'll follow you to the Nine Pinnacles Mountain!" Chi Guyan said and prepared to leave.
"Wait!" Tian Xing didn't know what the relationship between Chi Guyan and Fang Zhengzhi was, but he definitely couldn't let Chi Guyan leave just like that. "You don't have to change your clothes. There are plenty on the Nine Pinnacles Mountain. You can wear them yourself!"
"The clothes on the Nine Pinnacles Mountain don't really fit." Chi Guyan stopped in her tracks and slowly turned her head to look at Tian Xing. Her bright eyes were filled with disdain.
"Once you reach the Nine Pinnacles Mountain, I'll arrange for someone to take your measurements …"
"Leader Tian, since you're here to apologize, you should look like you're apologizing. Furthermore, as a disciple of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, I shouldn't be wearing dirty clothes. Leader Tian, don't worry about taking too long. I'll be back soon!" Chi Guyan interrupted Tian Xing.
"My dear niece …"
"Leader Tian, is there anything else? Don't tell me you don't believe that I'll follow you to the Nine Pinnacles Mountain? "
"How could I not believe you? It's just that …"
"Leader Tian, you don't have to worry. Fu Xi Valley, Yin Yang Hall and Ling Yun Tower are here as witnesses. No matter how suspicious you are, you shouldn't not believe them. Furthermore, the five sects have the same root. Since they have the same root, we naturally have to trust each other." After Chi Guyan finished speaking, she turned and left without waiting for Tian Xing to reply.
When Fu Xi Valley's elder, Gu Yuan, and Yin Yang Hall's great disciple, Wan Lei, saw this, the corners of their mouths twitched.
They naturally knew why the Leader of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain, Tian Xing, had come to the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
It was because they knew …
That they couldn't react in time.
Leave?
Did she have to be so smart?!
After understanding the logic behind this, Gu Yuan and Wan Lei looked at Chi Guyan's departing figure. Their expressions were clearly different from before.
Ling Yun Tower's Cang Yue was also looking at Chi Guyan. Her eyes, which were originally calm, were now filled with a glint of light.
As for Tian Xing, his expression had completely changed. The smile on his face disappeared and was replaced with a cold expression.
He had never thought that Chi Guyan would suddenly use this as an excuse to change her clothes.
What a simple excuse.
It was so simple that it didn't seem to fit the thinking of a wise man. However, it was this simple excuse that returned all the words he had said to him.
The five sects had the same root, and the three sects were witnesses.
Passive, extremely passive.
Originally, the Heaven Dao Pavilion should have been the one to bear this passivity. However, Chi Guyan had used the simplest method to throw it back at him.
Tian Xing naturally couldn't let Chi Guyan leave.
The reason was simple. The Thousand Years Fire Herb was with Chi Guyan.
Once Chi Guyan left …
Who would know where the Thousand Years Fire Herb was?
"Chi Guyan, you … Wait!" Tian Xing didn't hesitate at all. He moved his body and grabbed Chi Guyan's shoulder with one hand. It was almost as if he was teleporting.
However, at this moment, a figure appeared in front of his palm. Her white robes fluttered gently and her snow-white hair fell on her shoulders.
"Leader Tian, what are you trying to do?" Mu Qingfeng stood in front of Tian Xing. He looked at Tian Xing, his eyes filled with doubt.
"Move!" Tian Xing didn't stand on ceremony and immediately went around Mu Qingfeng. This was because Chi Guyan's speed was very fast. Even though she was carrying Fang Zhengzhi in her arms, she was still far away in an instant.
"Leader Tian, are you trying to fight in the Heaven Dao Pavilion? Although I was the one who said that the five sects had the same root, you were also there that day, right? "Mu Qingfeng's figure appeared in front of Tian Xing again.
"Scram!" Tian Xing slammed his palm towards Mu Qingfeng's chest.
It was a very ordinary palm. Tian Xing's palm didn't even emit any light. However, when the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples saw this, they felt as if they were hallucinating.
Landslide!
It felt as if a mountain was collapsing.
"Looks like Leader Tian really doesn't want to care about the five sects having the same root?" Mu Qingfeng's voice rang out softly. At the same time, he extended his hand towards Tian Xing's palm.
However, his hand didn't meet Tian Xing's palm head-on.
Instead, from a strange angle, he grabbed Tian Xing's arm from the side. Almost in an instant, Tian Xing's hand stopped moving.
There was no tumbling of air.
However, whether it was Tian Xing's palm or Mu Qingfeng grabbing Tian Xing's arm, everything happened in an instant. It was so fast that no one could react.
"Five sects having the same root? Hmph, Mu Qingfeng, don't play dumb! Chi Guyan came to my Black Moon Island to steal the Thousand Years Fire Herb, injured the three Sages of the Black Moon Island, and even sank my Black Moon Island. You dare to say that you weren't the one who ordered all of this? "Tian Xing's palm reached out once again, and his body took a step forward.
"No." As Mu Qingfeng spoke, he followed Tian Xing's movement and took a step back. His hand was still grabbing onto Tian Xing's palm like an iron cage.
"Do you think I'll believe you?" Tian Xing's gaze turned cold once again. At the same time, he let out a deep whistle that was as heavy as a mountain.
"Roar!"
"Roar roar …"
Countless beasts roared. At the same time, black figures leaped down from the backs of the beasts and landed in the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
It was obvious that Tian Xing had fallen out with her.
All of this happened very quickly. From the moment Chi Guyan promised Tian Xing to recuperate at the Nine Pinnacles Mountain, to when Tian Xing fell out with her, it was like a drama. It happened so quickly that the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples didn't even have time to react.
However, they all heard one sentence.
"Chi Guyan came to my Black Moon Island to steal the Thousand Years Fire Herb, injured the three Sages of the Black Moon Island, and even sank my Black Moon Island. You dare to say that you weren't the one who ordered all of this?"
This sentence was said by Tian Xing to Mu Qingfeng …
