Yuan Yi laughed and said, "The three of you seem to be in a good mood. Li Meng Zhu, I have something I want to give you. Please stretch out your hand. "
Li Yijie's face was gloomy and uncertain. His words were unclear; he did not know how much of their conversation had been overheard by him. But in his eyes, he had always been an omnipotent character. When they talked, they did not try to hide anything, so there was no reason for him not to overhear. However, based on his personality, he did not look like someone who would secretly harm him. Still, he had to guard against a knife hidden behind a smile. For a moment, he was full of hesitation. He was hesitant to stretch out his hand.
Nangong Xue said in a low voice, "Shixiong …" Obviously she had also thought of this hidden concern. Li Yijie thought, "A gentleman is open and aboveboard. Right is right, wrong is wrong, how can he be secretive? With the heart of a villain, he looks down on other people. I must not do that. "Thereupon he raised his arm.
Yuan Yi said, "Close your eyes first." Li Yijie obeyed and closed his eyes. It was only when his vision turned black that he truly felt some fear. It was as if danger was everywhere. Every pore on his body opened up under this invisible pressure.
Yuan Yi said, "Miss Nangong, Second Master Cheng, even if you see it, don't be the first to expose it. Otherwise, it will be meaningless. "While saying that, he pulled Li Yijie's hand and stuffed something into his hand. He pressed Li Yijie's fingers and held it tightly.
Li Yijie felt that the thing in his hand was a smooth, round ball. When he touched his palm, it was ice-cold. When he rubbed the surface with his thumb, it was smooth and flat. But this was not just a ball. There was something connected to the bottom of the ball. A long piece of material extended outwards. It felt slightly sharp to the touch.
Nangong Xue and Cheng Jiahua's low exclamations were heard; they were full of admiration. Suddenly he thought of something. Normally he would not have dared to think about it. This time he could not bear it anymore. He did not care about the suspense and immediately opened his eyes. Wasn't he holding the treasured saber Life Seeking Chop that he had been racking his brains for?
Not only was Li Yijie stunned, but the two people beside him were also so shocked that they couldn't speak. Yuan Yi didn't need to tell them to keep quiet.
After a long while, Li Yijie finally managed to squeeze out a sentence, "Young Master Yuan, you... what do you mean by this?"
Yuan Yi smiled and said, "I've already hinted so clearly. Can't you see it? Hopefully, Alliance Master Li is a wise man who appears to be a fool. Otherwise, I will be disappointed and may even doubt my own choice. "Li Yijie was still confused." Young Master Yuan? I … don't dare to indulge in flights of fancy, lest I end up in a joyous mood … "
Yuan Yi said, "Don't doubt it. Now the Life Demanding Slash is yours. The treasured saber also has its own spirituality. You must treat it well. " Looking at these people's confused faces, he smiled and continued, "A gentleman does not take what others like. I'm giving this saber to you. You deserve it. As the saying goes, a treasured saber deserves a hero. Alliance Master Li, you are indeed a true hero. I, Yuan Yi, rarely admire anyone, but this time I admire you wholeheartedly. "
Li Yijie scratched his head and said, "You're really giving it to me? This … this is the Life Seeking Chop! What kind of good deed have I done that I don't even know? "
Yuan Yi smiled and said, "Alliance Master Li is too modest. Just now I didn't even have time to ask you. You trusted me so much that you gave the Life Seeking Chop to me. Aren't you afraid that I'll take the opportunity to run away with the treasured saber? "Li Yijie said," You won't. Although we haven't known each other for long, and our friendship is not deep, but... I have a feeling that you are worthy of my trust. "
Yuan Yi smiled faintly and said, "Just now you really did not care about your own safety to save those insignificant disciples. Do you know that even a hundred substandard goods cannot compare to a single genuine one? If I sacrificed you, the Great Commander, for a group of small pawns, I would have lost so much that even my family wouldn't be able to recognize it. "Li Yijie smiled bitterly and said," Just now, I was only thinking about saving people, I didn't think too much. I didn't think about chivalry or anything like that. I only knew that I couldn't watch other people die. "
Yuan Yi smiled and said, "It's good that you didn't think about anything. That shows that you didn't do it for fame or profit, but because of your warm-hearted heart. Justice isn't something you talk about, your subconscious actions are the embodiment of your true thoughts. What's more, in a life and death situation, being able to pass the test is even more precious. It proves that I didn't misjudge you. "
Li Yijie was still hesitant. He said, "Are you really willing?" Yuan Yi smiled and said, "What's there to be reluctant about? I'll be frank with you. I'm not like you, who regard the Seven Fiends treasure as more important than my life. Fighting over the Life Reaper Chop is nothing but a game. The most important thing in the game is the process. As long as I win, who would care about who it belongs to in the end? "
Li Yijie was startled by his novel idea. It took him half a day to regain his composure. He said, "But just now when you climbed to the top to take the Saber, you really risked your life. Don't tell me you want to gamble your life for a game? Won't that be too unworthy? "
Yuan Yi said, "There's nothing in this world that is unworthy or unworthy. If we really calculate it, in the end everything will return to the dust. Whatever we do, it's not worth it. Actually, it all depends on how you think. For example, we all think that you risked your life to save people is unworthy, but you only want to save their lives, you don't see your own actions as chivalrous or righteous. You think it's worth it, so it's worth it. It must be said that everybody's way of looking at things is not the same. "
Li Yijie said, "I thought that no matter what you do, you're the kind of person who is indifferent to everything …" Yuan Yi said, "That's right. Maybe that's my style. I don't need to be too serious about anything. But once I do, I need to put 120% of my energy into it. Otherwise, I might as well not do it in the first place. "Nangong Xue praised," That's right. I like that phrase. "Seeing Yuan Yi cast a glance at her, she suddenly lowered her head shyly.
Li Yijie muttered, "Serious … indifferent … could this be the difference …?" Yuan Yi laughed and said, "That's enough. Alliance Chief Li, hey, do you want the Life Reaper Chop or not? Even if you don't want it, it's fine. There are a lot of people lining up behind you. "
Li Yijie hastily said, "No, I want it. Of course I want it. Many thanks to Young Master Yuan for the saber. "Yuan Yi said," If you really think of me as a friend, then don't thank me. Remember, Jiang Liechen won't let you get away with it. He's powerful, his martial arts are strange, and he already has four of the 'Seven Evils' … "Li Yijie's heart warmed. He said," Even if I have to risk my life, I won't give the Life Reaper Chop to him! "
Yuan Yi shook his head and said, "You might not be able to resist him. What kind of person is Jiang Liechen? I've fought with him before. He's a man who can fight against a thousand people! Last time, he barely managed to fight to a draw with him because he was seriously injured at that time and was on his last breath. When his martial arts are at their peak, I don't think I'll be his match. It's not that I'm trying to avoid a duel. From a certain point of view, I also admire him and I'm looking forward to having a proper duel with him. But I'm a perfectionist and I won't allow myself to lose. If I keep the Life Reaper Chop, he'll definitely come looking for me soon. When that time comes, I won't be able to hide and I'll have to fight him. But I'm willing to give up on a duel that I don't have the confidence to win. Therefore, temporarily giving the Life Reaper Chop to you may not be a good idea. I'm just trying to shift the blame onto you. In the future, when I have more money, I might go back on my word and come back to Alliance Head Li to ask for it back. I've already told you about this. "
Li Yijie saw that Yuan Yi was straightforward and didn't try to hide anything. This kind of straightforwardness was rare and precious to him. He said, "Young Master Yuan, don't worry. Why would I blame you? As the Wulin Alliance Head, it's my responsibility to protect the safety of the entire Wulin Alliance. If I don't take responsibility for those disasters, who will? I just don't know … what plans does Young Master Yuan have? Will you continue to follow us? "
Although Lu Qian was walking in front, he kept his ears open to eavesdrop on the conversation behind them. He thought to himself, "Xiao Xuan used the Afterimage Sword and was able to defeat the masters of the major sects. Yuan Yi was able to block her treasured sword with his bare hands. He's even more powerful than these people. But he was only able to fight to a draw with a dying person, and he even suffered some losses. If this is the case, how powerful is Jiang Liechen? Let's wait a few more days and see how things are going … If it really doesn't work out, I'll go join him. "
Yuan Yi raised his head and looked at the horizon. He clasped his hands behind his back and walked step by step towards the red clouds of the morning sun. His voice carried by the breeze came from afar, "I've always been a free cloud and a wild crane. I don't have a fixed residence and the world is my home. How can I team up with others? To tell you the truth, I really want to, but I can't stand the stifling feeling and I have no one to rely on. "
Fei Ying from Tiantai interrupted, "Young Master Yuan, why are you in such a hurry to leave? When will we be able to come to your house to pay our respects? "He had been trying to curry favor with Yuan Yi for a long time and his original intention hadn't changed. He still wanted to seize this last chance to trick Yuan Yi into revealing his whereabouts.
Yuan Yi said, "My father's nature is quiet and he doesn't like noisy people. Since Senior has such intentions, I'll definitely convey them to you. Alliance Head Li, I'll say goodbye first! If fate wills it, we'll meet again. " Li Yijie cupped his fists and said, "Very well, the green mountain will not change, the green water will flow forever …" Yuan Yi gradually walked away, but he didn't respond to Li Yijie's words, "We'll meet again someday."
Li Yijie laughed self-deprecatingly and hung his sleeves down. Nangong Xue also stood by his side. The two of them stood side by side and watched Yuan Yi's back disappear into the rosy clouds. His white robe fluttered in the wind, concealing his figure. This white robe seemed to be the brightest color on the horizon.
Li Yijie watched until his back completely disappeared. He then looked at the Death Claiming Chop in his hand. He raised his hand and gently stroked the blade. He still felt that everything was like a dream. He also thought about how he was planning to trick Yuan Yi into giving him the Death Claiming Chop. He didn't think that Yuan Yi would be so magnanimous and give him this peerless blade without even saying a few words. That 'shifting misfortune' was most likely an excuse to make Li Yijie feel more at ease.
Li Yijie really did understand him. Although he handled things indifferently, he definitely wasn't a coward who would shift misfortune onto others. He sighed deeply and said, "This is a real, open and aboveboard man! Although he's not one of our righteous people, who among us can compare to his character? Today we've parted in a hurry. Another day I'll definitely become sworn brothers with him and drink wine together to discuss heroes! That's right, when we meet again in the future, I'll have to thank him and apologize to him. "
Nangong Xue smiled and said, "That's how it should be. As for this Yuan Gongzi, I misjudged him earlier. It's all my fault for measuring the heart of a gentleman with the yardstick of a villain. If you want to apologize, you'll have to count me in as well. "
Li Yijie said, "I don't blame you. There are too many hypocrites around us, so much so that whenever something happens, we'll naturally suspect them first. Only now do I know what it means to be a frog at the bottom of a well. In the past, I always thought that my martial arts skills were so-and-so. Today, when I compared myself with him, I realized … "He looked at Nangong Xue next to him, especially at her pale cheeks that were tinged with red. He thought that if she and Yuan Yi became a couple, then he would feel more at ease.
Nangong Xue didn't know that he was acting as a matchmaker for her. She softly said, "You're not bad either." She looked at Li Yijie with adoring eyes. Accidentally, their eyes met and they both shyly turned their heads away. Cheng Jiahua didn't want to see the two of them being lovey-dovey. He coldly snorted and walked forward to discuss martial arts with Lu Qian.
After sending off Yuan Yi, the group of heroes continued their journey. This time they were determined to go straight to the Imperial Palace. The journey was calm and tranquil; no one dared to block their way or cause any trouble. But this situation also had hidden worries; it was like the calm before the storm.
Everyone knew that Jiang Liechen wouldn't give up so easily. This mission could be said to have been a complete failure in Yuan Yi's hands. Although they obtained the Death Seeking Chop in the end, this hot potato wasn't easy to obtain. It would be difficult to bring it safely into the capital.
