After a moment of silence, Liu Shisui said, "My injury is not serious."
"Did you go to see Tong Lu?" asked Xiwang Sun.
"Yes," said Liu Shisui.
Xiwang Sun said, "In a sense, you two are brothers; why do you have to risk your life like this?"
Tong Lu was the personal disciple of the Godly Swordsman of West Ocean, and he had a very high talent in the sword work. During the Cultivation tournament of the Plum Meeting, the Curtain Rollers ranked him second only to Lo Huainan, indicating his prowess. Although Liu Shisui had swallowed the Monster Pill and cultivated the evil skill of the Blood Demon Church, he was still slightly weaker than Tong Lu in terms of realm strength.
But he dared to put his life on the line. More accurately speaking, he treated every strike with his sword and fist as his final strike.
Tong Lu couldn't do this, so he lost.
Xiwang Sun asked, "Are you angry because he told everyone that Jing Jiu is a coward?"
Liu Shisui was silent for a while and said, "Yes, Young Master is not that kind of person."
After a moment of silence, Xiwang Sun said, "You defeating Tong Lu is indeed beyond my expectation."
Liu Shisui said, "That's because you taught him well."
Xiwang Sun said indifferently, "No matter how hard I try to treat you, it seems that the friendship between you and your servant is still more important."
After another long silence, Liu Shisui said, "Young Master treats me very well, but this is different."
Xiwang Sun looked at him in silence for a long time.
The quiet room became even quieter, and the light from the luminous pearl gradually faded.
"You've only been cultivating for a little more than ten years, and you've already reached this step. You truly are a natural born Taoist seed. I was right to choose you, but you don't need to thank me."
Xiwang Sun said, "You already know all the causes and effects. It's fine as long as you don't hate me."
Liu Shisui remained silent.
The Dace Devil at the bottom of the Muddy Water.
That boiling hot demon core.
The Monster Elixir contained the Evil Skill of the Blood Demon Church and the method to hide the elixir breath.
All of this had made him who he was now.
Last year, he found out that all of this was deliberately arranged by someone.
That person was Xiwang Sun.
This was a conspiracy.
The plot was simple and powerful.
There were very few cultivators who could resist this temptation.
Even though the scheme outside Nanhezhou didn't work, Xiwang Sun had made many similar arrangements in various places of Chaotian, which proved to be effective.
Xiwang Sun's plan was to lure a disciple of Liangwang Peak to be Bulao Lin's mole in Aoyama.
He was satisfied that the disciple of Liangwang Peak was Liu Shisui with natural Dao quality.
What he was dissatisfied with was that Liu Shisui did not know how to act. He was soon discovered and expelled from the mountain gate.
He was a little disappointed at first, but then he realized that it was a good thing for an abandoned disciple of Aoyama to become an assassin of Bulao Lin.
This would bring enough humiliation to Aoyama Sect.
Moreover, Liu Shisui's talent for cultivation was really too good, so good that he was a bit of a treasure.
As a result, he brought Liu Shisui back to Bulao Lin and observed him for five years.
If it were someone else, he would have observed him for a longer period of time; but he didn't expect Liu Shisui to kill Lo Huainan.
From that day on, Liu Shisui would never betray Bulao Lin.
And for another important reason, Xiwang Sun finally began to trust him completely and began to use him, even teaching him the sword style himself.
But he didn't expect that Liu Shisui would still want to kill Tong Lu.
Looking at the young man behind the desk, the expression in Xiwang Sun's eyes grew cold.
"If there is a suitable target, I can help you kill him," Liu Shisui said with his head lowered.
Xiwang Sun knew that Liu Shisui was expressing his apology, so his expression softened a bit. Thinking of the case that Liu Shisui was involved in last time, he said mockingly, "It's fine if you insist on not killing the innocent, but you almost lost your life because of the so-called innocence. A person like you is not suitable to be an assassin."
Liu Shisui asked, "Is that why you let me read, write, and practice sword work here?"
Xiwang Sun said, "Yes, because I need you to prove to Aoyama Sect that we have high hopes for you."
Liu Shisui noticed that he said 'we'.
Xiwang Sun flicked his fingers lightly, and a jade booklet appeared on the desk.
"Analyze their information and pick out the suitable candidates to kill Su Ziye of the Mysterious Dark Sect. The plan must be perfect, just like how you killed Lo Huainan last time."
Having said that, Xiwang Sun left the room.
Liu Shisui opened the jade booklet, and many words came into his eyes.
Those words were the names and other relevant information of the members of Bulao Lin.
Those names were written in blood and were hard to erase, and they were imprinted with the spiritual awareness.
After the name was written in the jade booklet, it would be difficult for that person to betray Bulao Lin. Otherwise, if it was known by the outside world, he would be dead for sure.
For Liu Shisui, many names in the jade booklet were unfamiliar, and they should be the commoners living in the cities and villages.
Some of the names were familiar to him, and they should be the figures hiding in the various sects and the Imperial court.
For example, he was looking at a name, Liu Xiang.
Liu Xiang was a disciple of the second generation of the Kunlun Sect. He had a high Cultivation state and was good at the sword style of Cold Ice.
Who would have thought that he was a member of Bulao Lin?
Liu Shisui browsed through the jade booklet, his expression unchanged. He had read many similar booklets, but the names in those booklets were more common, and they were far inferior to the booklet he was reading today, both in terms of the depth of concealment and the Cultivation state of the names.
He took out another piece of white paper, dipped the pen in the ink, and started selecting the candidates and designing the plan.
The fresh ink words flowed out from the tip of the pen, turning into countless details of assassination.
In fact, Liu Shisui wasn't thinking about the young master of the Mysterious Dark Sect at the moment, but something else.
There were many things he wasn't sure about yet.
He invited Tong Lu to a duel on the Chaotic Rocks that day, in addition to avenging his Young Master's anger, he also wanted to test his opponent.
It seemed that Tong Lu didn't know he was in Bulao Lin; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so surprised that Jing Jiu could see through the sword style of the Hidden Tide.
In other words, it was not the entire Western Sea Sword School that was controlled by Bulao Lin, but the branch of Xiwang Sun?
Xiwang Sun suddenly appeared by the West Ocean more than ten years ago; where did he come from? Who was he?
Why did the Godly Swordsman of West Ocean trust him so much? What was the relationship between them?
Liu Shisui put down the pen in his hand and looked at the outside of the window, the expression in his eyes complicated.
In the past two years, Xiwang Sun had trusted him very much, and he didn't hold back his advice on sword work.
Jing Jiu really didn't understand why Xiwang Sun trusted or valued him so much.
He drew back his gaze and continued writing with his head lowered.
After a long while, the plan was finally completed. He blew on the paper twice, glanced at the jade booklet again, and put it away.
The level of this jade booklet was still not high enough; it didn't even have his name.
He didn't know who the real swordsmen Bulao Lin had hidden in various sects and the Imperial Court were.
Everyone in the cultivation world should have heard of those names.
…
…
There was a big stone chair in the deep end of the grand hall.
Xiwang Sun sat in the chair, thinking about something in silence.
Several rays of light fell in front of him, forming a light screen.
He was hidden in the darkness behind the light screen, so no one could see him.
Light footsteps sounded.
A girl in a green dress walked into the grand hall and knelt in front of the light screen.
"Raise your head."
Xiwang Sun said.
The girl in the green dress stood up as instructed.
She had delicate features and a gentle and pleasant expression. She was Xiao He from Ying City, whom Jing Jiu and Zhao Layue had met in Haizhou City years ago.
