Li Yijie slammed the armrest of his chair and said angrily, "This is simply unreasonable! Our Martial Union will not take in this kind of traitor! "
Cheng Jiaxuan's beautiful eyes were filled with tears as she cast a pitiful look at Tang Yuancheng. Tang Yuancheng had been in the government for many years, so he was familiar with the rules and taboos of every profession. He knew that she had caused a huge disaster this time. Even if it was him, there was nothing he could do to help. The swordsmen in the hall could no longer hold themselves back after hearing the Alliance Master's words. They immediately took up their stances and formed four groups, surrounding Cheng Jiaxuan in the middle.
In the chaos, Xuan Shuang stepped out of the crowd and shouted, "Get out of my way!" He waved his sword and stabbed at the vital points of the surrounding swordsmen. His movements were fast and accurate. The swordsmen parried with their swords. Xuan Shuang casually swung his sword a few times, parrying the attacks one by one. He walked into the hall and dragged Cheng Jiaxuan away. Cheng Jiaxuan cried out in alarm and struggled with all her might, shouting, "Hey, let go of me!"
Xuan Shuang angrily said, "Shut up!" He dragged her out of the hall, then turned around and said, "I'm sorry for causing trouble for everyone. Please continue. " He kicked the door shut with a "bang", then threw Cheng Jiaxuan out. He said, "I think you're crazy! For him, you got chopped up here. Not to mention that he doesn't know about it, even if he does, he won't accept your kindness! Next time, if you act so recklessly and speak nonsense in front of everyone, no one will be able to protect you! "
Cheng Jiaxuan rubbed her reddened wrist, feeling wronged. No one knew what she was thinking, but she suddenly bowed her head and said, "I beg of you, Young Master Ling. Now that Martial Union has accepted you, what you say in public still carries some weight. Please help me with this matter. Within Martial Union, I'm just an outsider who doesn't fit in. Everyone hates me and looks down on me. You're the only one I can confide in. Other than you, I really don't know who else to ask for help. Considering that we grew up together, please … "
Xuan Shuang frowned and stared at her for a long time. Then he laughed loudly and said, "I don't know what kind of dog shit luck I have recently. How come everyone I meet, regardless of whether they are men or women, likes to kneel and kowtow to me? It seems that I was indeed born with the fate of being the Emperor. "
After laughing, he fiercely swung his hand and said, "What do you know? It's all your own fault that you're so annoying. You speak and act only based on your own likes and dislikes. You don't understand the situation at all! Humph, I'm the Vice Hierarch of the Devil Sect, and the elder brother who was deposed by the imperial court. How do you think people will worship me? In Martial Union, aren't my steps also difficult? I can't even protect myself right now, and you're asking me to step into this quagmire for you? I don't know if you think too highly of yourself, or think too little of me? "
Cheng Jiaxuan's eyes reddened and tears rolled down his cheeks. Since he had grasped this life-saving straw, he definitely wouldn't let go easily. He earnestly advised, "That's right. You're the Vice Hierarch of the Devil Sect. You have a master-disciple relationship with him. It won't do you any good to have him die. Old grudges are so complicated. No matter how much hatred there is, with Noble Consort Yun's death, it should be taken to the grave. You … why do you insist on not letting go? Saving a life is better than building a seven-floor pagoda. Sparing his life is also not a small merit. The others are not worth worrying about. I only ask that you don't participate. If it really doesn't work … if it doesn't work, let me pretend to be that slut and send myself to death in Miss Qian's place. I only ask … to see him one last time before I die. "
Xuan Shuang bent down and pinched her chin. He sneered and said, "Oh, don't think that I don't know. You want to be his confidante and tell him about that stupid plan in advance? You're really noble! What saving a life? Sparing a life? I am a vile creature who is destined to go to hell. Why should I accumulate merit? "
Waving his arm, he threw a dagger and nailed it to Cheng Jiaxuan's side. "Let me tell you," he proudly said, "Not only I want to participate, I want to be the main force. I want to kill the man you love the most. The purpose of my life is to kill him. If you don't have the heart, you don't have to follow me, or you can be buried with him. There's no need to play to the gallery here. Otherwise, you'll have to kill me first! "
Bending down, he pulled her wrist and forcibly held the dagger hilt. Pulling her up, he put the tip of the dagger on his chest and said with a cold laugh, "So what? Are you going to stab me here? Are you going to kill me? Then all troubles will be over. If you do it, I won't resist! Hmm? "
Cheng Jiaxuan bit her lip and tried her best to turn her wrist. She was afraid that the dagger was sharp and would really stab him. "You … don't force me," she cried, "I beg you …" Xuan Shu laughed nastily and said, "What? Didn't I tell you early on that you're not good at pretending to be pitiful? You and Shangguan Yaohua, you two are simply the most shameless pair of siblings in the world! "Seeing Cheng Jiaxuan was still trembling in fear, he ruthlessly flung her hand away, snorted coldly, turned around and walked away.
Cheng Jiaxuan was rooted to the spot. It seemed that as soon as he said those words, all the strength in her body was sucked out. She almost went limp and knelt down. At this time the hall's door opened again. Tang Yuancheng walked out. Seeing her standing pitifully on the side, he sighed. He could only silently stand by her side and press her shoulder.
Cheng Jiaxuan flattened her small mouth. "Wah!" she burst into tears. She threw herself into Tang Yuancheng's arms and hung her hands around his neck. Sobbing, she said, "Tell me, what did I do wrong? People often say that there is no sin in love, and there is no right or wrong to speak of. Could it be that just because the person you love is condemned by thousands of people and is considered an unpardonable sinner, you can't love him anymore? The deeper your feelings for him, the more selfless you are, the more you will be despised by others? Tell me, actually I'm not wrong at all. The ones who are wrong are them. They simply don't understand me, right? "
Tang Yuancheng sighed again. He handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears. He was unwilling to go against his conscience to help her, but he was also unwilling to say anything to hurt her feelings. "What did Xuan Shu say?" he said. "That child, you also have to understand him. He was born a dignified prince. Compared to us, common people, the environment he grew up in and the various kinds of treatment he received were completely different. How can you expect him to give in to you when you're with him, and you can only take what you want? It is already not easy for him to have the tolerance he has today. Moreover, you clearly know that he has a blood feud with the Seven Evil Spirits, yet you still said those words in front of him. No wonder he is angry. "
Cheng Jiaxuan cried, "But … love is like this. It is not something you can control. How can you deceive your own true feelings?" Tang Yuancheng was speechless. He could only hug her even tighter. His gaze was cast to the distant blue sky, lost in thought.
For the next three days, no matter where he went in the Martial Union headquarters, he could see a group of people practicing martial arts with all their might. The gleam of blades and the shadow of swords could be seen everywhere. Cheers and shouts could be heard everywhere. It was a very good scene.
Li Yijie adjusted his internal energy in a secluded place. Afterwards, he went back and forth to explore the place, giving pointers to the people at any time. After walking through more than half of the training field, he suddenly heard the sound of wind whistling by his ear. A powerful pressure was pressing down on him. She turned around and saw a wooden stake that was often used to practice martial arts in the corner. Xuan Shuang was practicing martial arts alone.
Every time he threw a punch, he would break a horizontal piece of wood. Every time he kicked, he would break another piece of wood. The impact caused the entire wooden stake to sway continuously. Wood shavings flew everywhere. Li Yijie did not want to disturb him. With his hands behind his back, he stood to the side and watched silently.
Xuan Shuang was sweating profusely. When the wooden stake was only left with a bare section, he turned his arms, somersaulted in the air, and landed on the ground. He glanced to the side and coldly said, "What are you doing? How did I disturb Alliance Master Li? You ignored all those useless people and came here to pick on my faults?"
Li Yijie shook his head and said, "Your fists have killing intent. What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood? "
Xuan Shuang rolled his eyes and said, "If you don't have the slightest bit of killing intent before you go to kill someone, what kind of performance is there? It's not like you're going to drink tea and chat with him. As for your mood, humph, humph, if your woman told you in front of everyone that she was going to throw herself into your enemy's arms, would you still be in a good mood? Even if I don't have any romantic feelings for Xiao Xuan, as an ally, I still don't want her to betray us like this. "
Li Yijie said, "No, you still have a knot in your heart that hasn't been untied. If Xiao Xuan and you are just ordinary allies, then whatever she wants to do is her own life and her own choice. It has nothing to do with you, so you don't need to pay attention to it. It's because you care that you find it hard to accept. If you want to prove yourself to her, then in these few months, you should get rid of all your wild thoughts and concentrate on practicing martial arts. "
Xuan Shuang said disdainfully, "Not everyone is like you, Alliance Master Li, who can't multitask. Hate is hate, but I haven't missed a single day of practicing martial arts. " Li Yijie said, "That's right. Looking at your martial arts, I can see that you have a high enough level of attainment. It's indeed the result of hard work and hard work. However, you must also pay attention to the fact that this excessive anger will affect your mood and make you perform abnormally. Other people can take advantage of this. If you don't believe me, then let's exchange a few moves. "
Xuan Shuang laughed coldly and said, "Let's have a fight then! Do you think I'm afraid of you? "As soon as his voice fell, he immediately turned around and threw a punch at Li Yijie. Li Yijie leaned to the side to evade and reached out his hand to grab Xuan Shuang's throat.
Xuan Shuang's hands hung in front of him and used the 'Separating Tendon Dislocating Bone Hand' to block in front of him. Li Yijie's body abruptly changed midway and attacked the middle of Xuan Shuang's back. Xuan Shuang leaped into the air and landed straight on Li Yijie's chest. This was the same vicious move he used to break the wooden plank just now; it was extremely vicious and not ordinary.
Li Yijie did not evade, his right hand was placed across his left shoulder, waiting for Xuan Shuang's heel to land. Before he could change his stance, he seized the opportunity to grab Xuan Shuang's foot while raising his other palm to chop Xuan Shuang's body.
Xuan Shuang lowered his shoulders and concentrated all the energy in his body to his chest to block Li Yijie's palm. Li Yijie took advantage of the fact that Xuan Shuang's back was empty; he suddenly pushed Xuan Shuang's foot and flung Xuan Shuang away. Following the momentum, he stood behind Xuan Shuang and jabbed the acupoint on Xuan Shuang's back with one finger, while his other hand grabbed the back of Xuan Shuang's neck. Li Yijie did not use any internal energy in these two moves, so Xuan Shuang's whole body was sore and numb, but his acupoints were not sealed.
Xuan Shuang stumbled a step; he was angry and anxious at the same time, his eyes looked like they were about to shoot fire. "Impossible!" He shouted, "Impossible!"
Li Yijie said, "Now you believe me, don't you? The moves I used just now were the simplest 'qin na' techniques. With your internal energy, there's no way you can't evade them. The reason you made this kind of mistake was because you were eager to win; your foot landed too early, so you easily fell into the enemy's hands. Moreover, you either didn't attack, or you attacked the enemy's vital points as soon as you made your move, which was very risky. It would be best if you succeeded, but if you failed, I'm afraid you won't be able to make a comeback in this round. During normal practice, you have to find the root of your mistake in time to avoid repeating the same mistake in real combat. It'll be too late to regret it. "
Xuan Shuang snorted; he fiercely swung his hand and said, "Forget it, this time you're right. Next time I'll try to control my emotions. "
Li Yijie smiled and nodded, "Your cultivation can be considered to have a certain foundation, and your internal energy is passable. With your current level, it's best for you to broaden your horizons and exchange pointers with other experts. If you practice alone, no matter how fast you progress, you'll only be able to stay at a single level, and it'll be difficult for you to advance further. Perhaps this has something to do with your personality, but in Martial Union, everyone has the same goal and won't be biased against anyone. If you don't want to talk, I can talk to someone else. "
