The Xuan Shuang smiled bitterly to himself. In the end, he could only find an irrefutable reason, saying, "At least she's not a sow." Seeing that Cheng Jiaxuan was still standing to the side, silently brewing his emotions, even though she wasn't anxious, he himself was. He pushed her back and walked straight to Jiang Liechen, saying, "Speak! Why are you afraid of him? It's as if you've done something shameful. I'll teach you. Just imagine: He's just a sow. What's there to be nervous about talking to a sow? "
Jiang Liechen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He glanced sideways and said, "You brat … you don't know how to respect your teacher. What nonsense are you talking about?" The Xuan Shuang smiled and said, "Deviating from the orthodoxy and rebelling against the orthodoxy. Doing what the secular world doesn't do, I learned it from you."
Cheng Jiaxuan's chin dropped to his chest. He quickly organized the thoughts in his mind. Finally, he gathered his courage and said, "In the past, you … you ordered me to investigate the whereabouts of the Seven Demons and Two Treasures in the palace. I've delayed it until now because I've really let you down. But I'm definitely not careless. If there's a chance … "
Jiang Liechen coldly said, "Stop talking nonsense." Cheng Jiaxuan was so scared that he lowered his head even more. He didn't dare to meet Jiang Liechen's eyes. He said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzzing, "I've already found it. It's in a secret room under the Snow Song Palace. I'll take you to get it, okay? "After saying this, he raised three fingers and forced a smile, saying," Three sentences. "
Jiang Liechen ignored him and only asked the Xuan Shuang, "How much of this is believable?" The Xuan Shuang said, "Ten percent! I was there at the time and saw it with my own eyes! "Jiang Liechen said," En. I don't believe her. Since you said so, I'll believe her for now. "Cheng Jiaxuan's smile froze on his face. This time, it withered without a trace.
The Xuan Shuang smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't that right? I'm so honored? Aren't you trying to drive a wedge between us? In a while, I still have to return to the Snow Song Palace with her to spend the night. I still don't know how she's going to 'settle the score', so don't get me into trouble. "
Jiang Liechen laughed, "So what? If she dares to bully you, just tell me next time. "
Xuan Shuang pretended to be magnanimous and said, "Forget it, forget it. It was too late for her to please me. Tomorrow, Ah Ma will organize a hunt, and the scene will be unprecedentedly grand. At that time, all the princes, dukes, ministers, princes, and imperial grandsons, as well as the imperial guards, would go to protect the Emperor, while the Empress Dowager and concubines would watch from the side. There was no one guarding the Snow Song Palace, which meant that the security was at its weakest. Seizing the opportunity to seize the treasure was just putting it nicely. Even if you take it away openly, no one will care. "
Jiang Liechen said, "That's great. Why do you want her to lead the way? "When Cheng Jiaxuan heard this, he couldn't help but take a few steps forward, his hands clutching the corners of his clothes timidly. Xuan Shuang replied, "I still have to go with Ah Ma to hunt! It can't be that I was the one who suggested it and finally got his approval, but in the end, I don't want to go myself? Ay, for the sake of the treasure, what's a little sacrifice? "
Jiang Liechen's gaze moved back and forth between the two people's faces, but he didn't see any flaws. Cheng Jiaxuan's face was immediately filled with joy, and he pulled on Xuan Shuang's sleeve, almost wanting to cheer with him. "Alright, then I'll believe you this once. It's best if nothing happens."
Xuan Shuang silently pulled his arm out and praised, "You should have done this earlier! Even if something happens, with your ability, you'll always be safe and sound. Do you think I don't want the process to go smoothly? Otherwise, the ones who will suffer a calamity will be the imperial bodyguards of my scoundrel friends in the palace. That's right, I was just about to tell you the good news. A few days ago, I had a duel with Li Yijie, and my moves were slightly better than his, forcing him to throw away his sword and admit defeat. However, it couldn't be considered my victory. When we fought, he didn't use any internal energy at all. Otherwise, even if I had the Demonic Collapse Technique, I wouldn't have been his match even if I didn't have a high enough level of attainment. He was very lenient to me, and even made an exception for me to leave his apprenticeship. Now that I think about it, I don't hate him that much. Just like Master Tang, he was strict with me so that when I grew up, I would have a promising future. I've always pushed him aside, taking every opportunity to offend him in front of Ah Ma. When I left, I left behind some harsh words to hurt his feelings. Now that I think about it, I've let him down. "
Cheng Jiaxuan took the opportunity to chime in, "That's right, that's right. Xuan Shuang was very powerful at that time. With just a few punches and kicks, he beat that Li Yijie until he was lying on the ground, unable to crawl back up. It was a good opportunity to destroy his prestige! I'm just watching, and I feel refreshed. It's all thanks to you. How can that arrogant Wulin Alliance Head be compared to you? "
Jiang Liechen felt uncomfortable for no reason. He knew perfectly well that Li Yijie was worried that he would use too much force and injure Xuan Shuang, which would make it difficult for him to explain to the Emperor. But when he said that, he deliberately changed his mind, "I was wondering what would happen. When you said that you could defeat Li Yijie, you were referring to the time when your martial arts would reach a certain level in the future. With your current cultivation level, it's simply a daydream. Do you think that he, the Wulin Alliance Head, is a useless person? If he didn't use his full strength, that means he's looking down on you. Yet you're still singing his praises? "
Xuan Shuang said, "How come I remember that 'when you fight with someone, don't overdo it' is out of consideration? Take you and Young Marshal Yun for example. How many times did you fight before, didn't you always let him win? " "That's right," Cheng Jiaxuan interrupted, "Perhaps Li Yijie did not have any good intentions, but you are really very good to Young Marshal Yun."
After being reminded by these two people, Jiang Liechen recalled quite a few old memories. Although he often did not get along well with An Yesun, he had always regarded him as his most important brother. Every time he used his full strength, not only it was a blow to An Yesun's confidence, he was afraid that if he did not die, he would be seriously injured. Being merciless was the way to deal with an enemy, not a friend. Repeatedly he pretended not to notice the opponent's weak points, he did not use his most powerful moves.
An Yesun was also a martial art master, even if he could not defeat him, he could see through the opponent's weak points. He was extremely resentful toward this, but all along he did his own thing. Thinking about the past, with great difficulty An Yesun's joy welled up in his heart. He also remembered the bloody battle at the headquarters several months ago. Finally in this life, An Yesun's wish was fulfilled, he was forced to use his real martial art to fight with him, but the price was his own life. His heart was immediately filled with hatred.
To Jiang Liechen, perhaps the only thing he cared about in this world was the brotherhood between him and An Yesun, which was paramount, nobody was worthy to be compared with him. Now, how could the Xuan Shuang compare Li Yijie to him? He impatiently said, "Just remember this: in front of two martial art masters, the real consideration is to go all out in battle, to let the opponent fight to his heart's content. Only at the critical juncture of life and death will he stop in time. Otherwise, because he thinks the opponent is not worth his full strength, he can easily win. To put it more simply, giving way to each other between the same path is being polite, but giving way to each other between master and disciple is being contemptuous. Do you understand? "
"That's reasonable!" Cheng Jiaxuan said. "Now that you've said it, I also feel that Li Yijie looks down on the Xuan Shuang very much. All day long he puts on an arrogant face, as if everybody owes him something."
The Xuan Shuang sighed and scratched his head. "In the past," he said, "when you talked to me about these things, you were always very thorough. Even if you were dead, you could still make it come back to life. Even if I originally held an opposing view, in the end I could still convince you. Why are you so simple this time? "
Cheng Jiaxuan cautiously said, "This is called 'can only be understood, can't be explained in words'. Don't you think … that's right? "Jiang Liechen declined to comment." You should have your own judgment, "he said. "If you can understand, naturally I don't need to say more. But if you are really ignorant, it's useless to say more. Why waste your breath? "With a bitter laugh the Xuan Shuang said," Forget it. You always have a reason. Oh right, Li Yijie said that your point of view is a fallacy. "
Cheng Jiaxuan persevered. "No," he said. "Your words make the most sense. Every day I think about it over and over again. I wish I could recite it from memory and treat it as my life's creed. "
As always, Jiang Liechen ignored him. "Li Yijie's words," he said, "why do you believe him? Benevolent people see benevolence, and wise people see wisdom. Besides, doesn't he also have a theory about 'universal love for all living things, and also saving the world'? If he doesn't refute those who disagree with him, isn't that the same as doubting himself? "The Xuan Shuang said," Oh, that's also true. "
Cheng Jiaxuan stood alone on the side. In the eyes of that pair of master and disciple, it was as if he had long become an invisible person. He painstakingly interjected a series of words, but he didn't even get a single reply. It seemed that if he met the Xuan Shuang together with him, his limelight was destined to be completely stolen. He couldn't help but deeply miss the month when the two of them were alone in the desolate temple. Being able to spend every day and night with him, occasionally speaking a few words, was simply the best time of his life.
With resentment in his eyes, he looked at the Xuan Shuang. He heard the two of them discuss martial arts, the current political situation, and where they should go on their next mission. He felt as if his figure was shrinking, gradually becoming a long straight line. Finally, he disappeared alone in a dark corner.
He didn't know how he spent the next few hours. In the blink of an eye, it was early morning the next day. While he was still in a daze, he felt the three of them standing in the main hall of the Snow Song Palace. The Xuan Shuang said, "I can only accompany you up to here. I still have to hurry to the hunting grounds. Master, disciple wishes you a smooth journey ahead. "
Jiang Liechen frowned. "You … forget it." At this moment, he was still rather annoyed that Xuan Shuang had arranged for him to go on a treasure hunt with Cheng Jiaxuan. The Xuan Shuang laughed. "I know what you want to say. Don't act like you've been greatly wronged. You didn't suffer any losses, did you? Xiao Xuan didn't even complain. Why are you so anxious? " Suddenly, he pushed Cheng Jiaxuan from behind. "You and Xiao Xuan get along well. Let me be at ease in the hunting grounds. When the time comes, I'll hunt the biggest wild boar for you to eat. "
Cheng Jiaxuan's legs went soft and his body collapsed. Jiang Liechen moved to the side with a cold expression. "Stinking brat … I'll talk to you later." The Xuan Shuang said, "Alright, disciple is all ears. I'm just waiting to hear your good news." After he finished speaking, he skipped out first.
When Cheng Jiaxuan saw that only the two of them were left in the Snow Song Palace, he was so happy that he almost fainted. However, when she was with the Xuan Shuang, she couldn't get a word in edgewise. Now that he had finally left, she couldn't find a topic to talk about because she was too nervous. In the silence, she could only hear her own heart thumping. She tried to talk, "Xuan Shuang, he … is really interesting. You … what do you think? Let's … "
Jiang Liechen coldly said, "Where's the treasure? Hurry up, I don't have time to waste with you. "These words shattered all of Cheng Jiaxuan's fantasies. His chest was so tight that he couldn't breathe. He reluctantly raised his hand and pointed to Shen Shiyun's bedroom. He took the initiative to lift the curtain and walked to the bed. Just as his fingers touched the carved dragon head, he remembered his previous inference. She had always been the type to worry quickly and recover quickly. At this moment, he excitedly said, "You see, this mechanism is very particular. According to the Noble Consort Yun's meaning …"
Jiang Liechen impatiently said, "Don't be so long-winded." Cheng Jiaxuan forced a bitter smile. He was reluctant to move his eyes away from Jiang Liechen's face. He turned his hand. Just like last time, the bed split open on both sides, revealing a winding staircase leading down. He said, "From here, we will reach the secret room. It is not like the Ancient Tomb of Hetu Ala, there are no secret passages. "
Jiang Liechen coldly snorted. He sized up the cave, but he couldn't see the bottom. "I know," he replied indifferently. "Hey, you go down first."
Cheng Jiaxuan was startled. "Last time I went down with the Xuan Shuang," he said, "Everything is normal down there. You … you don't have to worry. But can we talk about it? It's not because I am timid, it's just that I … I have always been used to following behind you. Besides, my back is ugly, I don't want you to see it. I will lose face … "
Jiang Liechen said, "What are you arguing about? You don't have the right to talk here. I told you to go down, you just have to obey. Don't talk about your back, your front is also ugly. Why haven't you left yet? "
