At this moment, Nangong Xue felt an indescribable joy. She finally understood why Li Yijie had cried tears of joy when he first met her. She no longer harbored any hatred towards Lu Qian. All that was left was gratitude. She said gently, "Thank you. To be honest, I used to be most worried that you wouldn't let go. I was worried that you would ruin the wedding ceremony. I've thought of many schemes to guard against you. But now, it seems that I've used the yardstick of a villain to measure the heart of a gentleman. If I hadn't grown up with Shixiong, if I had met you first, maybe … I really would have married you. Now that I've found happiness, I also hope that you can find … your own Sheng Xun soon. "
Lu Qian smiled bitterly. "You're wrong. You're using the yardstick of a gentleman to measure the heart of a villain. You're overestimating me. I've always had my sights set on the top of my head. Whatever I want, no matter what it is, no matter if it already belongs to someone or not, I'll get it by hook or by crook. I don't care if it hurts others. I believe in 'I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me'. Only toward you, the woman I love the most, I don't want to use those schemes to make you cry. It's not that I can't win against Li Yijie. It's just that I gave up on fighting with him. However, you're still the girl who means the most to me in my life. You're also the girl that I can't let go of the most. I live for you. If I leave you, I won't be far from death. I'm saying this from the bottom of my heart. I don't want to be entangled with you anymore. I hope you won't dislike me. In the future … it's just right. I can break free from the shackles of love and pursue the world wholeheartedly. Who knows, I might even be able to obtain great scholarly honors. Who can say for sure? "
Nangong Xue heard the bleakness in his words. She suddenly couldn't bear it. She said, "As a friend, I have to give you a piece of advice. Don't think about fighting for the world anymore. You'll bring endless trouble. The Seven Demons once said that the winner is king and the loser is a bandit. There are countless talented people who shed their lives and shed their blood just to obtain power. I can't approve of such behavior. Just think about it. Perhaps you're the victor today, but what if you're reduced to a slave trampled by iron hooves one day? How many outstanding talents were there? How many dynasties had been replaced countless times? Who could guarantee that they would prosper forever? This was the world of the people, and it was destined that it would not be in the hands of a lone family for long. Why not be content with the status quo and be an ordinary citizen? You will find that the joy of life lies not only in making people submit to you, but in many other ways that you cannot conceive. Only when you look down can you see that unique essence … "
Lu Qian sneered, "That's right, you're right. Alright, then may I ask, what do you want me to do? Become a commoner? Pick up a hoe and become a mountain villager? I wasn't born for that kind of toil. That's right, I'm a good-for-nothing. In the Kunlun Sect, I didn't gain the favor of the elders and was completely overshadowed by Senior Martial Brother Tan's brilliance. When he was finally gone, I had to wait for He Shishu to be killed before I could become the Kunlun Sect Leader. I couldn't show off for more than a few days before I was denounced and my reputation was swept to the ground. I became the Qingtian Village's Head Chieftain and accumulated six years of false reputation, but in the end, wasn't it all for naught? When I, Lu Qian, saw An Yesun, I could only lower my head and curry favor with him. Did you think that just nodding and bowing was something that could be done casually? I was deeply humiliated, but unfortunately, I didn't even have the courage to resist! My own disciple sought refuge with him, and in order to please him, he killed my brothers in the village. But as for Cheng Jiahua, that little wolf cub, who betrayed me time and time again, I couldn't harden my heart to get rid of him! Am I destined to achieve nothing in this life, to be buried in the rolling yellow sand, to become a skeleton with an unrecognizable appearance, to be forgotten by people? And you! You also left me, and in the future, I will no longer have love. My hands are empty, I have nothing. If you don't allow me to pursue power and status, then what do I have left? As for the future, we'll talk about it later. When I've enjoyed enough riches and honor, let's see who can take my head in the end. "
Nangong Xue gritted her teeth and said, "That's right, I have no right to interfere. Maybe when you really sit in that position, you'll understand that it's not a blessing, but an endless bondage. If you insist on not listening, I can only say that it's a pity. But if you want to use this … as a bargaining chip to blackmail me … "
Lu Qian sneered and said, "You have someone to dote on and love you, so naturally you're content. All the benefits have been enjoyed by the lucky ones like you. Even if it's a bottomless abyss, I'm determined to jump into it. What little pursuit I have left will be seen as blackmail by you? You don't have to think so highly of yourself. "
Nangong Xue's eyes darkened. She said, "Since ancient times, I've seen how many people who pursued fame and fortune ended up tragically. If I knew this and didn't tell you, then I shouldn't have … "
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly heard a cold laugh, "You can't even protect yourself, and you still dare to boast shamelessly?" A black shadow flashed past and grabbed Nangong Xue by the back of her collar. His speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he was standing on the glazed roof of the palace in front of them. One arm was wrapped around Nangong Xue's neck, and he looked down at the ground from above. His arrogance was obvious, as if the whole world was under his feet.
Nangong Xue struggled to hold on to his arm. Her eyes narrowed into slits, and she looked at him with difficulty. She said, "Oh … you're the Seven Evils Demon. As expected … you're always haunting me. Even if it's a happy day, you still want to interfere …"
Jiang Liechen said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense. You should know your place. You know that I will definitely take revenge, and I won't let you go. But today, I'm not looking for you. "Nangong Xue said," You're looking for the Xuan Shuang? You … you demon, it's not enough that you destroyed yourself, and now you want to destroy a child? You're the one who taught him evil martial arts, and ordered him to kill and burn, aren't you? "
Jiang Liechen said, "So what if I am? He volunteered to be my disciple. What right do you have to interfere? Of course it's you, you damned bitch, who dared to talk nonsense in front of Shen Shiyun. Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to resist me. Tell me, where is he? "
Nangong Xue smiled faintly. She said, "He … he's in a safe place. You won't be able to find him. Moreover, after my persuasion, he's come to his senses. He won't wallow in the mire with you anymore. If you want to use him to take revenge on Noble Consort Yun, you should give up on your wishful thinking. "The more Jiang Liechen listened, the angrier he became. He said hatefully," You bitch, shut your mouth! "At the same time, he tightened his grip. Nangong Xue's breathing became sluggish, and her face became even paler.
Lu Qian was so anxious that he was about to jump up and down. When he saw that Jiang Liechen's gaze finally turned to the side, he hurriedly begged loudly, "Jiang Shengjun, you … let's talk nicely. Let her go first."
Jiang Liechen smiled cruelly. He said, "I heard that it was you, Master Lu, who spoke wildly. You wanted to send someone to warn me. You said that as long as you're by her side, I'm not allowed to touch her. Otherwise, you'll let me know what regret is. Is that what you said? Very well then, I'll kill her right in front of you. Let's see what you can do to me. "
This was a joke that Lu Qian and Li Yijie used to try to curry favor with "Xia Shengxun". It was one of the 'hero rescuing the beauty' stratagems that Lu Qian used to play. But somehow Jiang Liechen heard it. He hurriedly said, "It was me who said it … it was … it was me who blindly tried to be a hero and spoke nonsense. What can I do with this little bit of ability? Just take it that I've lost my mind. Don't take it to heart … "
Jiang Liechen said, "You've indeed lost your mind. You dare to come here and discuss conditions with me? I can take your previous sentence as nonsense and not bicker with you. But if you want me to spare her, it's also nonsense. You're delusional. "
Lu Qian anxiously said, "Daren Jiang Shengjun, you … you have great magical power and boundless magical power. You won't lower yourself to the same level as a weak woman, right? That will also lower your own status … Why don't you arrest me? Arrest me! " As he said this, he even seemed to be very pleased with his own proposal, as if he had thought of some unparalleled good idea.
Jiang Liechen raised his gaze high, his expression arrogant. He said, "What a joke. She's one of the main culprits, and also Li Yijie's treasure. What use do you have? "
In a moment of desperation, Lu Qian really did blurt out nonsense. He said, "I can cooperate with you! When the time comes, we can conspire together to devise a great plan. You'll come up with ideas, and I'll contribute my strength. It's also Xiao Ren's honor to be your errand boy. In the future, when the great plan is accomplished, the whole world will be under your control. I only want a piece of land in Jiuzhou, and I'll be satisfied. Actually, in the end, the two of us are the same kind of people. It's reasonable for us to get along … "
Jiang Liechen disdainfully said, "Who's the same kind of person as you? Who do you think you are to be mentioned in the same breath as me? It's hard to believe that a piece of trash like you could actually become the biggest enemy of my Sacrifice Shadow Sect, the rumored number one figure in the underworld? "Lu Qian laughed dryly." Or maybe Xiao Ren's luck is just better … "
Jiang Liechen said coldly, "Don't be so full of yourself. I allowed Qing Tian Village to be arrogant for six years only because I was busy with internal affairs and temporarily didn't come to trouble you. This is the supreme grace. Otherwise, it would be as easy as blowing off dust for me to defeat your political regime. "
No matter what Lu Qian said at this moment, what he said was the truth. He smiled apologetically and said, "Yes, yes, Xiao Ren is just a piece of trash. Qing Tian Village is also a piece of trash. Years ago, Qing Tian Village's foundation was completely uprooted without a single soldier. Wasn't it An Yesun who was defeated by you? Based on this inference … "
He was just trying to flatter Xiao Ren, but in his panic, he didn't have time to think and flattered Xiao Ren's foot. Jiang Liechen's face was instantly covered in layers of ice. He raised his hand and pointed at the ground. A few streams of zhenqi surged out and exploded on the ground near Lu Qian's feet.
Lu Qian hurriedly retreated and managed to avoid the aftershocks in time, but the light beam was dazzling. He watched helplessly as a few pieces of dirt and rocks flew up and exploded in midair, turning into fine sand and falling down. He couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. If it hit him directly, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Jiang Liechen's arm was still pointing at the sky. He said coldly, "Remember, no one can humiliate him, and no one can say anything bad about him in front of me. Those who violate this rule will be killed without mercy. Since this is your first offense, I'll spare you this time. But there won't be a next time. "
When An Yesun competed with him, he always placed the most importance on victory and defeat. Even if it was just a move or half a move, he would still consider it clearly. To him, a loss was a loss. His skills were inferior. Even if he didn't accept it, he would just work hard in secret. He would never act shamelessly on the surface. Jiang Liechen took care of Lu Qian's face. Even though he knew Lu Qian wasn't his match, he didn't say it out loud. Instead, he mostly encouraged him. Now, how could he allow an outsider, who even he didn't think highly of, to call him a "loser"?
Nangong Xue's eyes flickered. She thought, "You think this counts as treating him well? You think this will make up for the sins you committed against him and make you feel at ease? You're wrong. He's a pragmatic person. He definitely doesn't care about these empty titles. You personally destroyed the most important thing to him. How can you extravagantly ask for forgiveness? With just a few words, all you can do is fill the void in your heart! "
However, at this moment, she simply couldn't breathe, let alone open her mouth to reprimand him. Jiang Liechen wanted her to suffer more. He used just the right amount of strength to make her beg for death, but she couldn't faint.
