There was no pressing heat in Aoyama, and the wind blowing from the stream was very refreshing.
Bai Zao stood by the window and looked at Liu Shisui in Silence.
Liu Shisui thought how could such a delicate expression and calm eyes be concentrated on one person?
Then he thought of the rumor he heard in Cloudy Town and murmured to himself, "Is this my future mistress?"
Thinking of this, he became a bit reserved and asked, "May I know what you want from me?"
Bai Zao was also very curious about him.
More than ten years ago, when Guo Nanshan and other disciples of Liangwang Peak proposed this candidate, she was very puzzled. She didn't understand why they valued this young man who had just joined Aoyama Sect and believed that he could accomplish such a difficult task.
However, what happened later proved that Guo Nanshan and others were right. Liu Shisui successfully deceived the whole world, entered Bulao Lin, and obtained the most crucial evidence.
Another thing happened during this process. Liu Shisui took advantage of this trap to kill her Big Brother Lo Huainan.
Bai Zao couldn't figure out what kind of person Liu Shisui was.
She looked at Liu Shisui and said calmly, "I heard that Jing Jiu loves you very much. There is a saying that if you hadn't joined us, you would have been the First Disciple of Shenmo Peak."
After a moment of silence, Liu Shisui said, "I'm a disciple of Liangwang Peak, but I don't think Young Master will mind."
Bai Zao said, "I've made it clear to the people of Liangwang Peak about Lo Huainan. I don't think they will ask you any more questions."
Liu Shisui was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the problem that might have troubled him would be solved so easily.
In his opinion, Zhongzhou School would never admit Lo Huainan's identity — Lo Huainan was the first student of Zhongzhou School, and he was still very famous even after his death. If the world knew his true colors, the reputation of Zhongzhou School would be greatly affected.
"But the truth of this matter cannot be told to the outside world for now."
Bai Zao looked at him apologetically.
Liu Shisui thought, Sure enough.
He was no longer that stubborn and clean young man who had just left the small mountain village.
The pressure he had endured for more than ten years was like a dark swamp that made it difficult for him to breathe, allowing him to quickly mature.
Why should he, a disciple of Aoyama, be responsible for Zhongzhou School's reputation?
Therefore, he didn't say anything. Silence was all he could do as he looked at Bai Zao.
Bai Zao said, "We'll give you enough compensation."
Liu Shisui said, "It's up to me to decide whether it's enough. How many years?"
Bai Zao said, "Ten years at most."
Liu Shisui thought for a while and said, "I won't hide it from my teachers. This matter also needs their consent."
Bai Zao knew that the teachers he mentioned included Jing Jiu, and the most important one was probably Jing Jiu.
"I'll go to Shenmo Peak to ask for his opinion."
She said.
Liu Shisui looked a little hesitant, asking, "Do you really want to be with Young Master …"
Bai Zao said calmly, "That's right. Although it's only a rumor, it's true."
Liu Shisui thought it was really amazing. Then he thought of something else and looked at her sympathetically, saying, "You don't have a chance. Young Master won't take anyone away."
What he said was quite profound, but it was easy to understand.
Bai Zao was silent for a while and said, "Will you be disappointed when that day comes?"
Liu Shisui said, "The Heavenly Path has always been a solitary one. Besides, why should Young Master take us away? He doesn't owe us anything."
…
…
The two of them left the classroom and came to the stream.
The disciples of the peaks who came to watch the fun had all left, leaving only Guo Nanshan, Gu Han, and the others.
Lin Wuzhi guessed that they had something important to discuss, so he signaled Xiao He with his eyes not to follow them.
Knowing the agreement between Bai Zao and Liu Shisui, Guo Nanshan and the others didn't say anything, but Gu Han frowned.
"In this way, Young Brother Liu will continue to bear the name of the murderer. What if someone makes use of this matter to make things difficult for him or even tries to hurt him?"
"I believe that no one in the nine peaks of Aoyama can hurt him. As for outside of Aoyama, we, Zhongzhou School, will take care of it."
Having said that, Bai Zao took his leave, appearing quite confident. It was true for both Aoyama and Zhongzhou School. In the following years, Liu Shisui's assassination of Lo Huainan didn't cause too much trouble. Occasionally, some hot-bloodedness or conspiracies would appear, but they were all quietly suppressed by Cloud-Dream Mountain. Such things happened too often, so the Cultivation circle gradually figured out something, and Liu Shisui's reputation became more and more famous.
"I didn't expect that Cultivator Huainan, who had been sober all his life, couldn't overcome this obstacle."
Thinking of his dead friend, Guo Nanshan had mixed feelings.
Looking at the silent Liu Shisui, Gu Han said, "Don't feel pressured. Since he has done evil, he will be punished. You didn't do anything wrong."
Guo Nanshan came to his senses and said to Liu Shisui, "You're right. Punishing evil is the swordsmanship of the disciples of Liangwang Peak."
"I don't think so. Nothing happened to Bai Zao and Senior Master Jing Jiu, but Lo Huainan was killed by you. At that time, those of us who thought we knew the inside story were embarrassed. It's fine to ignore it. But what about this vixen?"
Staring into Liu Shisui's eyes, Jian Ruyun pointed at Xiao He in front of the Sword Garret and said, "You go back to the peak with us. We have something to ask you."
Hearing this, Gu Han's face darkened. Ma Hua narrowed his eyes even more, secretly observing Liu Shisui's reaction.
Something else? What is it? Liu Shisui suddenly felt a strong uneasiness, saying without hesitation, "I want to go to Shenmo Peak to see my Young Master first."
Gu Han was displeased, shouting, "You are a disciple of Liangwang Peak. It's not reasonable for you to go to another peak first. What are you afraid of? I'm here. Who dares to accuse you? "
After a moment of silence, Guo Nanshan said, "It's good to see Senior Master Jing first. You haven't seen each other for many years."
Then he said with a smile, "You didn't see how angry he was after you left that year."
…
…
Liu Shisui led Xiao He to Shenmo Peak.
Not riding the sword was a sign of respect, just like what Guo Nanshan had done back then. At the same time, he wanted to spend more time to prepare himself mentally.
Xiao He asked, "What kind of person is that Immortal Master Jing Jiu?"
Liu Shisui said after some thought, "He is very lazy."
"And?" asked Xiao He.
Liu Shisui used silence to indicate that there was no 'and'.
Xiao He said confusedly, "He is so famous in the Cultivation circle. How could he only have this characteristic? Didn't you say that you were very familiar with him?"
Liu Shisui was a bit sad, saying, "In fact, I haven't seen him for many years."
Hearing this, Xiao He felt a bit uneasy.
She had thought that since Liu Shisui had made a great contribution to the Aoyama Sect, he would be warmly welcomed and rewarded when he returned to Aoyama. Under such circumstances, it would be easy for him to ask her to seek shelter here.
The problem was that after she came to Aoyama, there was a warm welcome, but she didn't know where the reward was. Most importantly, the atmosphere of the conversation by the stream was obviously not right.
The reason why she asked Jing Jiu was that she wanted to see if she could prepare a new way in advance.
Outside the classroom of the Hall of Sword Washing, Lin Wuzhi had told her some things about Jing Jiu.
If Zhao Layue only listened to Jing Jiu, then Jing Jiu would have the power of the master of the Shenmo Peak. Of course, he would be a big shot in the Aoyama Sect.
If she could get close to Jing Jiu through Liu Shisui, there would be nothing to worry about.
But now it seemed that they hadn't seen each other for many years. How much of their old friendship would remain?
As for what Jing Jiu had promised her in the Ocean-God Temple, she had completely forgotten about it. Even if she still remembered it, she wouldn't dare to place her hopes on it.
Seeing her uneasy expression, Liu Shisui knew what she was thinking. He said with a smile, "Young Master will help us."
