"Don't you want to prove it? I'll prove it to you. There are many people in Bulao Lin, and there are many sects, some good and some bad. "
Wei Chenzi looked at him expressionlessly and said, "You can stand on our side, or die."
They revealed their identities in front of Liu Shisui.
The elders of the Zhongzhou School in the Yuanying State and the seniors of Yimaozhai were all on the side of Bulao Lin.
If Liu Shisui didn't follow them, he would die.
Only a dead man wouldn't reveal this secret.
Liu Shisui still didn't understand why they would suddenly attack that disciple of the Mysterious Dark Sect. Was it to prove that there were good people in Bulao Lin?
"Our task was to bring you back, and you did it willingly, so we had no choice but to use this method to convince you."
Wei Chenzi said, "Besides, it's our Zhongzhou School killing a demonic person. What's wrong with that?"
Liu Shisui said, "I don't think I'm that important."
Wei Chenzi said, "You're a very talented person, able to enter the middle state of the Golden Pill at such a young age. You're one of the top ten in all of Chaotian. If the Aoyama Sect doesn't value you, other sects will. If those sects didn't want to offend the Aoyama Sect, they would have come to see you."
Liu Shisui fell silent for a while, then said, "I need to think about it. You guys can come back tomorrow."
Wei Chenzi said, "I know you're not afraid of death, but don't try to commit suicide. Otherwise, the whole of your village will die with you, including your parents."
Liu Shisui stared into his eyes and said, "What those good and bad people said were all lies?"
"Those are the reasons you want to hear and the excuses you need. Regardless of whether they're true or not, all you have to do is ask yourself one question: Am I willing to die?"
Having said that, Wei Chenzi and the old scholar turned around and left.
…
…
It was late at night, and the stars were bright.
Liu Shisui looked outside the window in Silence, wondering if he was asking himself that question.
Suddenly, he got up and walked to the next room.
…
…
Mother Liu grabbed his hand, not knowing what to say.
Father Liu sighed. He took out a small box from the deepest part of the cabinet and handed it to him.
Liu Shisui took the box, opened it, and found a jasmine flower inside.
This jasmine flower should have been sealed with a Daoist technique, it was still as white and tender as before.
"Ninth Young Master left this here more than a year ago."
Father Liu said to him, "He said that if you still want to leave, remember to give this to you."
Liu Shisui didn't know what that meant.
Liu's mother picked up the jasmine flower and used a needle and thread to sew it on his lapel. It looked very nice. (Note)
…
…
The villagers knew that Liu Shisui had disappeared from the small mountain village, but no one in the outside world cared.
The most important thing in Chaotian right now was the Plum Meeting that would take place in a few days. Many Cultivation practitioners had already left for Zhaoge City.
Dozens of sword lights appeared in the blue sky, creating a spectacular scene. The scene of the immortal masters of Aoyama traveling together had become a popular scene in Southern Land. If the weather was good enough, some lucky populace would be able to witness such a scene, which would become a topic of conversation for them in the future.
Chaonan City received the news and adjusted the formation as quickly as possible. They didn't start setting it up again until the dozens of sword lights landed in the city.
Nanhezhou was the traditional territory of the Sword Sect of Aoyama, so the masters and disciples of Aoyama didn't need to stay in the immortal houses like other Cultivation practitioners.
As the largest auction house in Nanhezhou, the Precious-Tree House would earn a large amount of crystals and gold and silver every day, but it had been closed since the day before yesterday. The owner of the building personally commanded dozens of caretakers and servants to clean the nine floors, ensuring that there was no dust at all.
The ninth floor was divided into two rooms, one for the leader of the group, the Peak Master of Qingrong, and the other for Zhao Layue.
The owner of the Precious-Tree House wasn't qualified to meet the two peak masters, so he only hoped that one of them wouldn't remember the cold reception he had received here. The Mysterious room C on the seventh floor didn't look like a cold reception, but the caretaker didn't know that the girl with the gray cloth covering her face was the rumored Zhao Layue.
The Precious-Tree House didn't dare neglect the service of the Peak Master of Qingrong, but the disciples of Aoyama attending the Plum Meeting and accompanying them could sense that the attitude of the Precious-Tree House toward Zhao Layue was especially respectful, in addition to a hint of fear, and a clear intention to flatter her.
Yao Songshan was one of the ten disciples selected in the Sword Trial of Aoyama last year. He had been practicing the sword work on Shangde Peak before he went to Liangwang Peak, so he didn't understand the reason. He didn't understand the reason until he heard the explanation from the disciples of Xilai Peak and Shiyue Peak.
The Precious-Tree House was a peripheral business of the Aoyama Sect, so it earned a great amount of crystals and silver from the auction, but it was nothing for the Aoyama Sect. What the Aoyama Sect really cared about was the magic pills and materials distributed by the Imperial court and the Union of Sects, as well as the resources needed for Cultivation, which were now transported into Aoyama by the Precious-Tree House.
The former peak master of Bihu, Lei Poyun, had been dead for many years, so the so-called legacy, or the affection, had disappeared a long time ago. As such, the Precious-Tree House was worried about being disqualified.
Yao Songshan asked confusedly, "Shenmo Peak has just been established, and Aoyama doesn't even participate in the meetings; why would they care about these trivial matters? Why doesn't the Precious-Tree House ask the masters of other peaks for help?"
The disciple of Xilai Peak said, "You know that Shenmo Peak has just been established. Besides Shenmo Peak, all the other peaks have their own businesses. Why should the Precious-Tree House continue to do the most lucrative business? The Precious-Tree House's intention is clear: they want to change their sect and join Shenmo Peak directly. "
Yao Songshan raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I think it's useless. Young Senior Master Zhao won't pay attention to them."
The disciple of Shiyue Peak laughed and said, "Of course Young Senior Master Zhao won't pay attention to them. The Precious-Tree House can't climb to Shenmo Peak anyway. But don't forget that Young Senior Master Zhao's home is in Zhaoge City, so it's not difficult to find her. I heard that the Precious-Tree House sent dozens of carriages of good stuff to Zhaoge City last winter."
Yao Songshan was speechless for a while, and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's take the time to cultivate."
The Plum Meeting was not far away, so it would be a good thing to improve one's Cultivation state on the way.
The disciple of Shiyue Peak and the disciple of Xilai Peak eyed each other and shook their heads with a bitter smile, lacking any confidence in themselves.
The disciples of the Aoyama Sect participating in the Plum Meeting this year were the weakest in hundreds of years in many people's eyes.
Zhuo Rusui was still behind closed doors, so the disciples of Aoyama participating in the Plum Meeting were of course led by Guo Nanshan.
This principal disciple of the Sect Master had indeed displayed a Cultivation state superior to his peers at the Sword Trial in Aoyama, and had advanced to the Free Travel State after a long period of preparation. According to many people's calculations, if Tong Yan hadn't had any special encounters in the last few years, Guo Nanshan would have been able to defeat her, and he might even have had the chance to challenge Lo Huainan.
As a result … his sword was broken.
He had no choice but to stay on Yunxing Peak to continue practicing his sword, and it was unclear when he would be able to leave the mountain.
Besides Guo Nanshan, Gu Han was still recuperating from his wounds, and so was Jian Ruyun.
After careful calculation, the strongest disciples of Liangwang Peak couldn't participate in the Plum Meeting this time.
It was all because of that person.
The disciple of Xilai Peak asked, "Why can't he come with us?"
The disciple of Shiyue Peak replied with a slight mocking tone, "Because he is the Senior Master."
…
…
Jing Jiu didn't ride on his sword. He didn't walk out of Aoyama until it was dark, arriving in Cloudy Town.
Like last time when he walked out of Aoyama, he went to a restaurant and ordered a hotpot.
This time he didn't order a double-flavor hotpot. He ordered a large pot of white soup and cooked a piece of green vegetable.
No restaurant would welcome such a guest, but the guest who took out a golden leaf in advance was an exception.
