The disciples outside the hall were asked to leave, and the inside of the hall quieted down.
But the news had been spread out and could not be taken back. What they needed to do now was to implement the punishment.
Many people looked at Chi Yan again, and then followed his line of sight to the Three-Foot Sword in the front.
The Three-Foot Sword exuded a faint chill.
The Sword Justice, Yuan Qijing, had been listening to today's summit meeting from Shangde Peak.
Chi Yan withdrew his gaze and glanced at Liu Shisui with a complicated look in his eyes.
"Liu Shisui has given up defending himself and will be imprisoned for trial. That Vixen will be expelled from the mountain gate."
Everyone knew that this was Yuan Qijing's decision, so they remained silent. Some of them could not help but look at Jing Jiu again.
Jing Jiu still had no intention of speaking.
Zhao Layue stared into Chi Yan's eyes and said, "I have an objection about the Vixen."
She did not look at Jing Jiu before saying this.
She could not hold it in any longer.
Chi Yan's expression did not change as he said, "Please tell me, Peak Master Zhao."
Zhao Layue said, "Even if it is inconvenient for Aoyama to accept that Vixen as a disciple, why must she be expelled from the mountain? Shenmo Peak is willing to accept her as a guest. "
Chi Yan was slightly startled, and said, "It seems inappropriate."
Zhao Layue said, "What's inappropriate? Gu Qing, a disciple of my peak, once lived in Shenmo Peak as a guest for two years. "
This was something that many people knew.
The former sword boy of Liangwang Peak suddenly became a mountain visitor of Shenmo Peak, and later became the chief disciple.
"There is no such rule. Otherwise, any peak can accept a few devil men of the deviant sects into the mountain for protection, right?"
Fang Jingtian's voice rang out.
Zhao Layue turned to him and said, "Back then, the Immortal Jingyang discussed Dao with Zen Master for a hundred days at Shenmo Peak. Was that against the rule?"
"The problem is that the fox demon isn't Zen Master, and you …"
Fang Jingtian glanced at Jing Jiu intentionally or unintentionally, then continued to say to Zhao Layue, "… and not Martial Uncle Jingyang either."
Zhao Layue looked at Fang Jingtian, her thick and powerful eyebrows slightly raised, like a sword that was about to fly.
"That's settled then."
Jing Jiu stood up from his chair.
…
…
He looked in the direction of Tianguang Peak and asked, "Who said that just now?"
The hall became even quieter.
After a while, Elder Bai Rujing replied with a gloomy face, "It's me, so what?"
Jing Jiu glanced at him, then turned around and walked out of the hall.
This scene fell into the eyes of many people.
The scene of Zhao Layue looking at Fang Jingtian was also remembered by many people.
Fang Jingtian and Bai Rujing were both swordsmen in the state of Broken Sea, but why didn't Jing Jiu and Zhao Layue have any intention to retreat?
Zhao Layue followed Jing Jiu to the outside of the hall, and soon passed by Liu Shisui.
Liu Shisui was quite calm. He believed that even if Jing Jiu hadn't figured out what to do, he must have a way to solve everything.
But he still glanced at Jing Jiu, as if he had something to say.
Jing Jiu understood what he meant.
It didn't matter to him, but Xiao He had to stay alive.
Bulao Lin had been destroyed, but there were still many remaining assassins hiding in the human world.
Xiao He would become a wandering ghost if she was expelled from Aoyama, and they would never let go of this traitor.
In other words, she would die if she left Aoyama.
Jing Jiu didn't say anything, nor did he stop walking.
Liu Shisui understood what he meant and withdrew his gaze, feeling calmer.
…
…
In the cabin in the forest on Shenmo Peak, Xiao He was packing her luggage.
She didn't stay here for long, so she didn't have much luggage. She finished packing quickly, and she even washed the iron kettle again.
"Yeah, it's only a few days, and Liu Shisui isn't here. Why do I feel reluctant to leave?"
Xiao He walked to the door and turned around to look at the shabby cabin, thinking about this question.
Was it because of the sound of the monkeys or the quietness? No matter which one it was, it brought her a great sense of security.
Her extreme fear of Jing Jiu was also one of the sources of her sense of security. It seemed that as long as Jing Jiu was on the peak top, he could protect all the creatures on the peak, including her.
"What are you thinking about? You are just a fox demon, not even as good as those monkeys. "
Xiao He showed a self-mocking smile and turned around to push the door open.
Gu Qing was waiting outside. He took over the luggage and said, "I'll see you out of the mountain."
…
…
There were many passages between Aoyama and the outside world, but most of them were isolated by the Great Formation of Aoyama, leaving only four mountain gates.
Zhao Layue, Jing Jiu, and Liu Shisui were all external disciples from the South Pine Pavilion, so they were used to going out of the Shenmo Peak from here.
The nearest human town to the South Pine Pavilion was Cloudy Town.
It was the beginning of autumn, and the forest was gradually dyed with clouds and mist. It was the best time for Cloudy Town to have the best scenery. There were many tourists on the street, and people were moving.
Gu Qing walked Xiao He to the street of Cloudy Town. According to the normal development of the story, Xiao He should walk forward and disappear in the crowd.
Xiao He didn't move. She lifted her head and looked at Gu Qing, her eyes full of uneasiness and timidity. She wanted to say something, but she didn't.
Gu Qing knew it was true this time. He thought for a while and said, "Wherever you want to go, I can guarantee that I will bring you there safely."
Xiao He remained silent for a long time. Then she plucked up her courage and said, "Can I stay here?"
"Why?" asked Gu Qing.
Xiao He said, "This place is still within the scope of Aoyama, so it should be safer. And … I want to wait for him."
Gu Qing looked at her in Silence, trying to determine which part of what she said was true.
Xiao He said, "Don't get me wrong. I don't have much affection for him. It's just that I'm used to being with him. And I'm really a little scared."
Gu Qing suddenly laughed, saying, "Well, I'll wait here with you for ten days."
Xiao He was somewhat surprised, especially when she found that Gu Qing's smile was not polite or courteous, but rather quite sincere.
Gu Qing led her to the other end of the street. They passed through the crowd and entered a bustling restaurant.
The bustling upstairs suddenly became quiet and secluded; it was no longer a noisy human world.
The private room was exquisitely decorated. Nothing luxurious could be seen, but every part of it was not simple.
Xiao He also owned a restaurant in Haizhou City, so she knew how much this private room cost. She was secretly surprised.
"This restaurant was bought by my family a few years ago."
Gu Qing motioned for her to sit down, saying, "It was my Senior Master's idea."
Xiao He naturally recalled how she ate at the same table as Liu Shisui in the restaurant in Haizhou City. She lowered her head and said nothing.
The Vixen didn't believe in affection.
Even though she had been instructed by Gu Qing at the Shenmo Peak, she still couldn't accept it. She still couldn't figure out how the Royal Concubine in the White House had done it.
She only knew that she felt at ease when she was with Liu Shisui. Could that kind of feeling be called dependence?
She raised her head and found that the person sitting across from her was not Liu Shisui, but Gu Qing.
Gu Qing looked at her with a smile and said nothing.
