Outside the parterre, Lian Pingchao and the other three silently watched Fang Yun lead the six Grand Scholars into the periphery of the parterre and the seven figures disappear into the bushes.
Lian Pingchao said in a deep voice, "What do you think Yun Fang's goal is in the Bloodlight Ancient Land?"
"I'm afraid even Moyao and Wei Huangan don't know. His identity is too unique for Dragon Palace to use such a precious treasure to kill him. There must be some holy clans behind him."
"That's natural. If those scholars didn't have the support of the holy clans, they would have bribed the Bloodlight Ancient Land's city lord to issue an arrest warrant. That's tantamount to treason!"
"In my opinion, it's best if we don't provoke him. Unfortunately, we've already offended him. We should have just given him the Dragons' inscription when he asked for it. There's no need to be so stubborn. "Tan Hemu sighed.
"There's no turning back now. He didn't even give us the Holy Page's edict. It's clear that he doesn't treat us as friends. Do the three of you dare to make this mistake to the end? "Lian Pingchao asked.
Qiu Meng, Tan Hemu, and Qu Jing were startled, but they soon understood that Lian Pingchao's so-called 'to the end' was to complete the Divine Temple's arrest warrant.
Qiu Meng slowly took a step back, followed by Tan Hemu and Qu Jing.
The three Grand Scholars stood close to Lian Pingchao, standing opposite to him.
Qiu Meng calmly said, "Pingchao, you're wrong. Before entering the Dragon City Ruins, we've already reached an agreement. After entering the Dragon City Ruins, friendship is friendship, and personal gain is personal gain. That's why we didn't do anything when you used your status to suppress Yun Fang and snatched the Half-saint treasure from him. By doing that, you're giving up on friendship for personal gain. However, you didn't harm Yun Fang, and Yun Fang didn't harm you. We're still teammates. Pingchao, am I right? "
"Of course, friendship and personal gain must be clearly distinguished. This Old Man has no regrets. "Lian Pingchao puffed out his chest. There was no shame in his expression.
"Yes. That's why when Yun Fang asked for the Dragons' inscription, they had to choose between friendship and personal gain. The six of them chose friendship. He gave up on his personal interests, while we chose to give up on our friendship for our personal interests of 1,400 catties of Dragon Grain Rice. It was the wrong choice, and I regret it. But I will never blame you for instigating discord at that time, nor will I blame Yun Fang for favoring one over the other. Then, after that, did Yun Fang harm us? No, we are still teammates. He had only given them the Saint Page Edict to compensate for the friendship he had with the six of them. If we forcibly ask for the Holy Page Edict, we will not be able to obtain it. And bear a grudge because of that. That was greed that overflowed the heavens, that was shameless! The Holy Page Edict belongs to him. He can give it to whoever he wants! "Qiu Meng said.
Lian Pingchao sneered, "The Saint Page Edict is his? From the entrance all the way here, if it weren't for us, he would have been killed by the war statues long ago. We are his saviors! "
Tan Hemu sighed softly and said, "Old Man might think that his defensive poems are second to none, but after thinking about it, even if we weren't there, he wouldn't have been able to do anything. Yun Fang would also be able to arrive here safely. We aren't his saviors. On the contrary, he is our savior! Qu Meng, two out of the six of you died. You were in both teams with and without Yun Fang. Tell me, what's the difference between the two teams? "
Qu Meng fell silent for a moment and said, "If Yun Fang was there, Brother Qian Jun and Brother Mei wouldn't have died! If not for Yun Fang, all of you would have died. Pingchao. Don't you find it strange? There were at least seven human teams in our Bloodawn Ancient Ground, but why did only three of us arrive? The ten bear tribes and six quasi-saint clans are all stronger than us. Why did only half of them reach the main entrance of the Sin Subduing Hall? If you dare to say that we were lucky and had nothing to do with Yun Fang, I will spread the word to the world to criticize you! "
Lian Pingchao said stubbornly, "No matter what, he is still our teammate. Since we didn't harm him, he could have given us the Saint Page Edict."
Qiu Meng looked at Lian Pingchao in astonishment and asked, "Pingchao, tell us the truth. Even if the broken jade is a real treasure, can it compare to the Saint Page Edict?"
"If the Saint Page Edict is as powerful as Yun Fang said, it naturally can't compare. Although Old Man has his own selfish motives, he is definitely not an unreasonable person," Lian Pingchao said.
Qiu Meng continued, "You, a person who even snatched the jade from Yun Fang, actually asked him to give you the Saint Page Edict, which is even more precious to him. Don't you think you are too shameless? That's all there is to a traitor! "
Lian Pingchao was so angry that his face turned red, but he couldn't refute.
Qiu Meng said, "Old Man has poor eyesight and underestimated Fang Yun. Since he asked for the one thousand four hundred kilograms of Dragon Grain Rice, he definitely wouldn't be so shameless as to ask for the Saint Page Edict. We are teammates, and we didn't let Fang Yun down. Similarly, Fang Yun didn't let us down, either! So far, no one has done anything wrong, but since we are teammates, Old Man won't forgive anyone who tries to harm others! "
Lian Pingchao said angrily, "You can belittle me, but you can't praise Yun Fang so highly!"
Qiu Meng smiled coldly and said, "Yun Fang isn't high, and he never says he's high. However, he insisted on not harming others, so he's at least thirty thousand li higher than you!"
"I only exchanged jade with him, and he rejected me. That's too much. I heard he did some ruthless things before. This person can't be benevolent or forgiven! "
"Attacking heresy is harmful to oneself," Qiu Meng said.
Lian Pingchao naturally knew that this was Confucius's words. It meant that one had to attack the wrong heresy with all their strength. Only in this way could disaster never appear.
These words were usually used against traitors and barbarians.
"Qiu Meng, wait until Old Man is a traitor, then you can say these words again!" Lian Pingchao was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
"Pingchao, you and I have known each other for many years. You know my temper. If you take another step forward, you will be doomed eternally! "The red light in Tan Hemu's eyes suddenly became thicker and colder.
Lian Pingchao felt his whole body go numb. He carefully looked at Tan Hemu, suspecting that Tan Hemu had seen through him.
"Old Tan, this is too much," Lian Pingchao said vaguely.
Lian Pingchao seemed to have admitted defeat, and the other three also stopped yelling and became silent.
After a while, a rumbling sound came from the garden.
The four were surprised. This was the sound of the back door of the side hall opening. Logically speaking, if others wanted to open the door, they would attack with all their strength. Only by destroying the door could they reach the garden. Who could open the door like Fang Yun?
The four looked towards the direction of the sound, and their whole body went cold.
They saw the number one Beast King of the Bear Tribe, Xiong Tu, standing at the door with a large group of Beast Kings.
"It's over …"
The shrubs at the edge of the flower bed were only for decoration to the Dragons, but to Fang Yun and the other seven humans, those shrubs were like towering trees that grew together. They had to move through the gaps and constantly change their direction. It was difficult to pass through in a straight line.
The seven of them walked for a while to cross the distance of fifty to sixty feet.
After passing through the shrubs that were as tall as a five-story building, the seven of them finally arrived at the inner part of the flower bed that was covered by a large number of tall trees and flowers.
"A mere blade of grass is as tall as two people. We are like ants." Liu Shan smiled helplessly.
"These divine objects, I'm afraid we can only take the fruits or special flowers. As for the whole divine object, we can only look at it. We can't take it away."
