Seeing Nie Dongliu take the initiative to talk to Chu Xiu and Lu Fengxian, Lü Yangshan and the other wandering martial artists all looked envious, including Third Bao behind Chu Xiu.
In Northern Yan, to be chosen by the young master of the Loyalty Village and take the initiative to make friends with him proved that you were capable. It also proved that you could call yourself a good friend of Nie Dongliu and use the name of the Loyalty Village to do things.
Of course, since you claimed to be from the Morgue, if the Morgue asked for your help or Nie Dongliu asked for your help, you should agree as well.
This was very normal in the eyes of others, because for most martial artists, even if they wanted to help the memorial hall, they would not have the opportunity.
Chu Xiu looked at Nie Dongliu without any change in his expression. He said indifferently, "I am just a common person in the Jianghu. I have no right to be brothers with the young master of the Loyalty Village."
Nie Dongliu laughed heartily and said, "In the Jianghu, as long as there are like-minded people, we can all be brothers.
Brother Chu, it seems that you still don't know what kind of person I am. To me, I only make friends based on their temperament and themselves, not their background.
So what if you are a common person in the Jianghu? My Loyalty Village is a common person in the Jianghu. My father did not even have a decent weapon when he was young.
My Loyalty Village does not care about background. We only gather the spirit of brotherhood in the Jianghu. I, Nie Dongliu, am the same. "
Chu Xiu clapped his hands and said, "Well said, young master! Unfortunately, I do not dare to be your friend now. "
"Oh, why?" Nie Dongliu raised his eyebrows and asked.
Over the years, he had befriended countless Martial Artists of the Pugilistic World. Most of them were happy to befriend him after knowing his identity and name. Even if they were not happy, they would rarely have the same attitude as Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu sneered and said, "Of course I'm afraid that after I become your friend, I'll be dragged into killing people because of a favor. If I'm unlucky and die in the hands of others, I won't even have someone to collect my body. Wouldn't that be very pitiful?"
Chu Xiu looked straight at Nie Dongliu and said indifferently, "Young Master, the corpses of Zhang Baitao and the others are still strewn on the wasteland outside of Lu Yang Town. Aren't you going to help them?"
Upon hearing this, Nie Dongliu's expression immediately darkened. As the middleman, he had helped Zhang Baitao contact Liu Yuanhai and the others to kill Chu Xiu. He actually knew about it! Idiot!
He wasn't scolding anyone but Zhang Baitao and the others.
He had already revealed his intentions to Zhang Baitao and the others at the Morgue Village. The Morgue Village would not get involved in the Jianghu vendetta. Otherwise, if there was one, there would be another. This kind of thing was not good for the Morgue Village's reputation.
Zhang Baitao and the others were not idiots. They should know what to do. Killing people was not idle chatter. Why would they talk so much in front of Chu Xiu?
Of course, this matter could not be blamed on Zhang Baitao and the others. When they made their move, besides the people in the morgue, no one would think of Nie Dongliu. However, when Zhang Baitao was killing Chu Xiu, he was afraid that Liu Yuanhai and the others would be hesitant. In a moment of desperation, he spat out the words "young master," which made Chu Xiu think of Nie Dongliu.
After Chu Xiu said this, Nie Dongliu knew that it was impossible for him to recruit Chu Xiu.
If Chu Xiu did not know that he was in cahoots and helped Zhang Baitao to kill him, then Nie Dongliu could openly recruit and befriend Chu Xiu. He just had to make sure that the disciples in the morgue who knew about this kept their mouths shut.
Now that Chu Xiu knew about this matter, there was definitely no hope for him.
No one could be thick-skinned enough to befriend someone after knowing that he had made such a great contribution to killing him.
Of course, even if there was such a person, Nie Dongliu would not dare to befriend such a person if he expressed that he did not care about these things.
A person who could do this, unless he was really an idiot, was really patient. He was like a venomous snake. Nie Dongliu did not dare to keep such a person by his side.
After thinking this through, Nie Dongliu said calmly to Chu Xiu, "If I said that it was a misunderstanding, would you believe me, Brother Chu?"
Chu Xiu also said indifferently, "Young master, do you think I would believe you? Moreover, even if I said I would believe you and that I did not care about that matter, would you believe me, young master? "
Between the two of them, one would believe it, and the other would believe it. The warrior who brought Nie Dongliu and Third Bao behind Chu Xiu were dumbfounded. They did not know what the two of them were talking about.
Nie Dongliu looked deeply at Chu Xiu, then turned around and left.
The moment he turned around, Nie Dongliu's face revealed a strong murderous intent, but it only lasted for a moment.
To Nie Dongliu, there were only three kinds of people in the martial world: friends, people who could become friends, and enemies.
If Chu Xiu didn't know about this, Nie Dongliu could recruit him without worry. Even if he didn't succeed, it didn't matter. After all, Nie Dongliu didn't expect all the young elites in the world to be his friends. And if Zhang Baitao and the others died, then so be it. Forget about revenge, he didn't even have the interest to collect their corpses.
However, the problem was that Chu Xiu now knew everything. Although the question of whether to believe or not sounded like a tongue-twister, Nie Dongliu actually understood what he meant.
Chu Xiu was a sensible person. Since the grudge had already been formed, he could not join the morgue. Even if he joined, Nie Dongliu would not believe him. Therefore, the grudge between the two could not be resolved. Chu Xiu was not his friend, nor could he become his friend. Therefore, he could only become his enemy!
However, although Chu Xiu was strong, he was still a small fry in Nie Dongliu's eyes. He had no backing, so he did not need to do it himself. He did not even need to mobilize the people from the morgue to kill Chu Xiu. That would only bring shame to himself and the morgue.
He, Nie Dongliu, wanted to deal with a small fry. Since when did he have to do it himself?
Returning to the group, Yue Luchuan and the others were surprised to see Nie Dongliu return alone.
Yue Luchuan asked, "Young master, didn't you go to recruit that Chu Xiu? Why didn't he agree? "
Nie Dongliu smiled bitterly and nodded.
Yue Luchuan's expression darkened. He snorted coldly and said, "Young master, you personally went to befriend him. That is giving him face. Chu Xiu does not know what is good for him. He is shameless! He is just a little wandering cultivator. He really thinks he is someone! "
The others also nodded in agreement. Clearly, they were thinking the same thing.
Nie Dongliu smiled bitterly and said, "Never mind. In reality, this matter cannot be blamed on Chu Xiu. We have some misunderstandings between us.
In the past, Chu Xiu destroyed the Zhang Family of Mountain Sun Prefecture. In the end, the eldest son of the Zhang Family, Zhang Baitao, who joined the Ba Mountain Sword Sect and became an inner sect disciple, came back. Because of the destruction of the family, he came to me for help.
But everyone should know that my morgue village never participates in matters like killing in the jianghu. So I refused Zhang Baitao.
But who would have thought that Zhang Baitao secretly contacted three people in my morgue village and promised them great benefits to help him kill Chu Xiu. They all died at Chu Xiu's hands. Now, Chu Xiu thinks that I sent the three.
Alas, I didn't consider this matter thoroughly. After all, this matter happened in my Mortuary Manor. It's normal for Chu Xiu to misunderstand me. It's a pity that he reached the Xiantian Realm at such a young age. If nothing unexpected happened, I really wanted to befriend him.
Zhang Baitao is the same. While he killed his father, there is no need to be in such a hurry. Right now, he and the other three died at Chu Xiu's hands. I just learned of this. Their corpses were left outside Lu Yang Village.
We knew each other. After this matter is over, I will send people to bury them, and also have people send the news of Zhang Baitao's death back to Ba Mountain Sword Sect. "
Nie Dongliu's words pushed all the blame onto the dead men and Chu Xiu. Everyone who heard this was filled with righteous indignation and cursed these people for being despicable.
Because the young master did not want to help him get revenge, Zhang Baitao privately contacted people in the morgue village. He really broke the rules.
And the three people in the morgue village, because Zhang Baitao promised great benefits, privately agreed to help him kill people. They did not care about the reputation of the morgue village. They were also not good people.
The most infuriating was Chu Xiu. It clearly had nothing to do with the young master. It was a complete misunderstanding. But he could not tell right from wrong, and dared to not give the young master face. He was being shameless!
In the end, Yue Luchuan sighed emotionally. "The young master is the young master. Zhang Baitao and the other three broke the rules. If it were me, I would not even care. Only a loyal person like the young master would want to help them collect their corpses."
His voice changed. Yue Luchuan snorted coldly. "Young master, don't worry. Since Chu Xiu did not want face, I will go teach him a lesson and get revenge for you!"
Hearing Yue Luchuan's words, everyone present agreed. They wanted to use this opportunity to curry favor with Nie Dongliu. In their eyes, Nie Dongliu was just an ordinary Xiantian Realm cultivator with no background. Wouldn't they be able to do anything to him?
