Liang Hong Zhuang's expression slightly shivered, his extremely thin eyebrows that had been drawn raised upwards – the youngest principal of Orthodox Academy, the object of the Orthodoxy's nurturing, the Pope and Archbishop Mei Li Sha's most favoured junior, so it was this youngster – he knew of Chen Chang Sheng, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to guess, but there were a few things that he couldn't understand, for example: Chen Chang Sheng reaching the upper stage of Ethereal Opening at the tender age of sixteen, even his distant cousin that he wasn't very close to felt it was inconceivable, he also greatly admired him, but he couldn't understand Chen Chang Sheng's previous strike.
Everyone knew that Chen Chang Sheng's talent lay in xiu xing, in the perseverance, diligence, and comprehension hidden in the four words' thoroughly read the Scripture of the Way ', but his bloodline talent was very ordinary, it couldn't compare to Qiu Shan Jun, Xu You Rong, and Her Highness Luo Luo. Then, how could his sword strike surpass the boundary between Ethereal Opening and Star Condensation, and directly break through his Star Domain?
Could it be that he had already seen through her dancing clothes before he had attacked? Liang Hongzhuang gazed at Su Li — the Star Domain of the Star Condensation Realm seemed perfect, but in the end, it was not truly perfect. However, only a powerful expert on Su Li's level could see through it. But previously, Su Li had not made a sound, and his gaze had always been on Chen Changsheng's sword, not on Liang Hongzhuang.
"What kind of sword did you use?"
Liang Hong Zhuang looked at the short sword in Chen Chang Sheng's hand, his thin eyebrows raised even higher, becoming even more bewitching. Chen Changsheng did not know how to answer this question. When Su Li had taught him the sword, he had said very clearly that this sword style should be counted as part of the Intellectual Sword, but he had always felt that there was a faint difference between the two.
At this time, Su Li also asked a question. He looked at Chen Chang Sheng and asked with a confused and doubtful expression, "You really guessed it?"
Chen Chang Sheng nodded and said honestly, "I guessed."
Su Li's eyes lit up, as if it was the first time he had seen this youth. He continued to ask, "Probability?"
Chen Chang Sheng calculated in his mind and said uncertainly, "Seven?"
Su Li's voice suddenly grew louder. "Seventy percent?"
Even though his talent in the path of the sword was unparalleled in the world, he still felt that this answer was far too shocking. Whether it was several hundred years ago when he was learning the sword at Mount Li or when Qiushan Jun first learned the Intellectual Sword with him, neither of them had been able to accomplish this feat. This was impossible.
Yes, so it can't happen.
Chen Chang Sheng was a little embarrassed and said in a low voice, "I said seven percent."
Su Li thought to himself, this is more like it. Even so, Chen Chang Sheng's performance had already exceeded his prediction. He sighed and said, "Enough. At least you've left the category of guessing and arrived at guessing."
Chen Chang Sheng was confused and asked, "What's the difference between guessing and guessing?"
Su Li said, "Guessing requires evidence. Guessing is blindly messing around, so of course it's different."
Chen Chang Sheng thought back to the feeling he had in the moment before he attacked with his sword. He suddenly couldn't tell if he was guessing or just guessing.
His sword didn't rely on calculation, but intuition.
Most of the time, intuition was an instinctive reaction produced after a lot of calculation and practice.
He faintly felt that his attack, the way he had broken through Liang Hongzhuang's dancing dress, was slightly different from the Intellectual Sword that Su Li had taught him, but he did not know what this difference was.
Liang Hongzhuang stood over a hundred feet away, watching the conversation between the two of them. He suddenly laughed, his beautiful face, which still had remnants of makeup, filled with ridicule. "You're already chatting?"
Su Li looked at him and said, "You want to talk? Let's go together then. "
Liang Hongzhuang stared blankly, not expecting to hear this sort of answer. After a moment of silence, he actually really did join in the conversation.
This was because he had some things he wanted to say to Chen Chang Sheng. As for Su Li, he had nothing good to say.
He looked at Chen Chang Sheng and said, "Why did you appear in the north of Tianliang County? Why did you travel with this demon? Why do you want to help him? "
In the capital, the impression Chen Chang Sheng had of Su Li was, for the most part, the image of the Junior Martial Uncle of Mount Li, an unworldly expert. In this journey of ten thousand li, he realized that this impression was not accurate, or perhaps it was not enough to describe it. Su Li himself had admitted that he had killed many people, but this was the first time he had heard someone so directly denounce Su Li as a demon.
"Do you know how many people he's killed? Do you know how many times his sword has been bathed in blood for it to be so sharp? " Liang Hongzhuang looked at Chen Chang Sheng and said with slight ridicule, "He's killed so many people, he should have died long ago, but he still hasn't died. The cycle of the Heavenly Dao, and retribution has arrived. Now, he has finally welcomed the day of his death, but you still want to protect him?"
Chen Chang Sheng said nothing, because he did not know what to say.
Liang Hongzhuang straightened his dancing clothes and walked over again. "He's a southerner, and you're a Zhou. He's killed so many Zhou people, so what reason do you have to help him?"
This did not seem like a problem, but in reality, if one carefully thought about it, it truly was a problem.
On the snowy plains, Chen Chang Sheng had carried Su Li on his back as they fled. It could be said that he was repaying Su Li for saving his life, and only Su Li could help him return. But now, after traversing ten thousand li of the snowy plains, no matter how many times he had saved his life, he had already repaid him. Now that he had returned to the Great Zhou, he could completely safely leave — Mount Li was strong because of Su Li, and the people of the Orthodoxy were strong because of the Orthodoxy. Right now, Su Li was like a heavily wounded lion in distress, and as long as the Orthodoxy was not destroyed, with Chen Chang Sheng's status as the Principal of the Orthodox Academy and the rumored appreciation of him by the Pope and Archbishop Mei Lisha, who would dare do anything to him? As long as he was willing to leave, whether it was Xue He, Liang Hongzhuang, or those experts that would come later, they would all immediately send him back to the capital.
No matter how one looked at it, there was no reason for him to continue standing at Su Li's side.
Chen Chang Sheng glanced at Su Li.
Su Li's expression was indifferent. He did not say anything, because this was also a question that he had always wanted to understand. It was just that he did not ask, so Chen Chang Sheng naturally did not answer.
Now that Liang Hongzhuang had asked, he wanted to hear just what Chen Chang Sheng's answer was.
Chen Chang Sheng was silent for a while, then said, "I inexplicably arrived in front of Xuelao City from the Garden of Zhou."
Liang Hongzhuang slightly raised his brows. He had not expected it to be like this.
"When I was in the Garden of Zhou, I thought I was doomed. When I left the Garden of Zhou and saw that Xuelao City, I also thought I was doomed. Then … Senior Su Li saved me, and I also thought that Senior being surrounded and killed by the demons might have something to do with that plot I encountered in the Garden of Zhou. Fine … it's actually not that complicated … the reason is actually very simple. Senior saved me, so I naturally could not watch him die." Chen Chang Sheng looked at Liang Hongzhuang and seriously explained.
Su Li said, "Your life has long since been repaid for the ten thousand li of snowy plains and Xue He's blade."
"Senior, accounts can't be calculated like this. To be more precise, there's no way to calculate accounts for things like lives." Chen Chang Sheng clearly understood his own intentions, and his words also became more fluent. "To Senior, you only saved my life, but to me, this life is all I have."
Su Li and Liang Hongzhuang understood the meaning of these words, but as people who had lived in the world of cultivation for many years, their bodies and minds were all dust, it was very difficult for them to accept this sort of reasoning.
Su Li shook his head. "I believe that you no longer owe me anything."
Chen Chang Sheng said, "I don't think so."
Su Li was a little taken aback. He was very clear that Chen Chang Sheng wasn't an admirer of his and they didn't share the same interests, let alone a friendship despite the difference in age. That was why he was curious as to why Chen Chang Sheng didn't leave. Only at this moment did he realize that it was because of such a simple reason. Of course, a person who could persist in such a reason was truly not simple.
"A life in the eyes of others is actually all you have … then how are you prepared to repay me? Don't tell me you're prepared to guard me for the rest of your life, to be my ox or horse? "
Su Li looked at him and said with slight ridicule, but his eyes were somewhat warm.
Chen Chang Sheng said with slight embarrassment, "There's no need to be like this, right?"
Su Li began to laugh, and Liang Hongzhuang also began to laugh. One was gratified, one was ridiculing, each with different meanings.
"Even if we really wanted to settle accounts, saving each other once could cancel it out, I still don't believe that it's already been repaid."
Chen Chang Sheng looked at Liang Hongzhuang and said, "I want to repay the debt of saving my life, so I have to confirm that Senior is truly safe and that his life is not in danger before I can leave. It's just like a sick person on his last breath in the water. If you save him from the river, but ignore his illness and leave just like that, how can it be considered as you saving him?"
Liang Hongzhuang thought it over, then said, "That's reasonable."
Chen Chang Sheng said, "Many thanks … for your understanding."
Looking at Liang Hongzhuang's face that was as beautiful as a woman's and his red dancing clothes, he really did not know how to address him.
Liang Hongzhuang looked at him and calmly said, "I want to avenge my father's death, is that not also very reasonable?"
Chen Chang Sheng was silent for a while, then nodded.
Revenge for one's father's death was a reason that no one could refute. It was the highest reason.
"Since you insist on saving him, then I can only kill you."
Liang Hongzhuang said, "After this, even if His Holiness the Pope condemns me, it's only death that settles it. You know that I'm not afraid."
Chen Chang Sheng knew that to this kind of person who sought revenge, once they made up their mind, the dignity of the Orthodoxy would not be able to change their minds. He said, "I understand."
Liang Hongzhuang's Qi grew more and more severe. Without the ribbons, his dancing clothes gently fluttered in the mountain wind. His Star Domain was even more stable and powerful than before.
He looked at Chen Chang Sheng expressionlessly and said, "Do you have any last words?"
Chen Chang Sheng sincerely said, "I hope that your excellency will be lenient."
… …

(Tomorrow I have to fly for an entire day, so I have to seize the opportunity. Seize the opportunity to ask for a day off. Of course, the opportunity here is very bitter. I wish everyone a happy New Year. The last sentence of this chapter is the best.)
