Saluting and Apologizing
The speaker was a young man.
He wore a silver-white robe with a longsword tied to his waist. His clothes fluttered in the wind, and a faint smile appeared on his devilishly handsome face. This caused his entire temperament to become confident and unruly.
He was Baili Kuangsheng.
"I didn't expect to meet the Sword Master of the Manic Sword here. We are really fated," Hu Shen joked with a big smile, as if he had completely forgotten his mocking words.
Soon, Chu Xingyun and Baili Kuangsheng would represent Wanjian Pavilion in the Six Sects Competition.
Their status was very high at the moment, and they had Fan Wujie as their backer.
But Hu Shen was not afraid of Chu Xingyun.
In his eyes, Chu Xingyun's foundation was too shallow. He had been in Wanjian Pavilion for less than a year. Although he had done many sensational things, his cultivation and strength were still weak.
That was why Hu Shen's face was still indifferent when he saw Chu Xingyun.
However, Baili Kuangsheng was different.
Baili Kuangsheng was Fan Wujie's personal disciple. Since he joined the sect, he had shown unparalleled talent and strength. No one knew how strong he was.
What was more, he had a good relationship with the Law Enforcement Branch. Even Fan Wuchen took good care of him.
Therefore, although Baili Kuangsheng's words angered Hu Shen, Hu Shen did not dare to be angry. He had to put on a fawning face to avoid any conflict between them.
Seeing Baili Kuangsheng appear, Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo felt a sense of foreboding.
They looked at each other, but before they could speak, Baili Kuangsheng's voice sounded. He said to Hu Shen, "Although Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo have been stripped of their positions as Sword Masters by Master, their strength and influence are still strong. As long as they reflect on their mistakes, they can be reinstated in the near future."
"Due to this, Sword Master Hu Shen did not mock and ridicule the two of them. Instead, he took extra care of them. His goal was to help them in their hour of need and secretly form a friendship with them. What I said is correct, right?"
"Sword Master of the Manic Sword, I don't quite understand what you are saying." Hu Shen pretended to be confused. In fact, what Baili Kuangsheng had just said was his true thoughts.
It was easy to add icing on the cake, but timely help was unforgettable.
Hu Shen's current actions were to provide timely help. In the future, as long as Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo were reinstated, he would definitely receive many benefits.
Seeing that Hu Shen did not admit it, Baili Kuangsheng did not mind. He continued, "Seeking benefits for yourself is understandable. However, Sword Master Hu Shen has forgotten one thing. These two have many grievances with the Luo Yun sword master. If you help them, you will unknowingly form a grievance with the Luo Yun sword master."
"At the same time, you will form a grievance with me!"
Hu Shen's expression did not change when he heard the first half of Baili Kuangsheng's words. He did not take Chu Xingyun seriously at all. Even if he had offended him, he would not treat it as a big deal.
However, the second half of Baili Kuangsheng's words caused his expression to freeze. His pupils abruptly contracted, and his breathing stopped. It was as if a bolt from the blue had exploded in his mind.
Forming a grievance with Luo Yun meant forming a grievance with Baili Kuangsheng?
Hu Shen's face twitched. He could sense that Baili Kuangsheng's words were extremely serious. Furthermore, there was a faint trace of coldness in them.
This sentence also frightened Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo.
At the peak of the Myriad Swords Mountain, they knew that Chu Xingyun and Baili Kuangsheng's relationship was not ordinary. However, the two of them never expected Baili Kuangsheng to be so protective of Chu Xingyun.
Chu Xingyun's expression was also somewhat sluggish, but he quickly regained his senses. Looking at Baili Kuangsheng, he couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.
"Swordmaster Hu Shen."
After a short pause, Baili Kuangsheng spoke again. This time, before he could continue, Hu Shen hurriedly replied, "I understand Swordmaster Manic's words. However, I just happen to have some matters to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave for now."
With that, he immediately turned around and left the Hundred Weapons Hall.
Throughout the entire process, Hu Shen did not even glance at Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo. Such a scene caused their expressions to become unsightly. They began to curse Baili Kuangsheng in their hearts.
"It looks like we've still underestimated Luo Yun," Chang Chixiao said telepathically. If it were not for the fact that this had happened twice, he would never have believed that the reclusive Baili Kuangsheng would be so protective of someone.
What made him even more helpless was that the person Baili Kuangsheng was protecting was his enemy, Chu Xingyun.
"A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him. Let's leave first." Chang Chixiao was also helpless. Among all the Swordmasters in the Wanjian Pavilion, the one he did not want to provoke the most was Baili Kuangsheng.
The two of them secretly communicated with each other and moved slightly, preparing to leave this place first.
"Stop right there!"
After taking a few steps, Baili Kuangsheng shifted his gaze and said to the two of them, "You have not bowed and apologized for what happened just now. Do you want me to report this matter to Swordmaster Wuchen?"
Thump!
As soon as these words were spoken, the two of them immediately stopped in their tracks. They could no longer contain the trace of hatred in their hearts. Their eyes were fixed on Baili Kuangsheng.
Baili Kuangsheng did not care at all. He said coldly, "Speak!"
As soon as the word was spoken, the entire space became stiff. Baili Kuangsheng released an aura that pressed down on the two of them without any scruples. His attitude was firm.
With Chang Chixiao's strength, he was naturally not afraid of this aura. However, as this aura spread, more and more people looked over. After a short while, there were sounds of discussion.
"If this matter is blown out of proportion, it will not do us any good." Qin Qiumo's voice rang out, with a hint of compromise, causing Chang Chixiao to be even more enraged.
However, he did not explode in anger in the end. He turned around and gritted his teeth. With great difficulty, he bent his back towards Chu Xingyun and said hatefully, "I apologize to Swordmaster Luo Yun for what happened just now."
It was a simple sentence, but it seemed to have used up all of Chang Chixiao's strength. After he finished speaking, he rushed out of the Hundred Weapons Hall in a flash.
This time, it could be said that he had lost all face. How could he dare to stay here for long?
Seeing Chang Chixiao leave, Qin Qiumo also hurriedly apologized. Then, he quickly followed. In the process of leaving, he kept his head down and closed his five eyes. He did not dare to stay for long.
Clap clap clap clap!
After the two of them left, Chu Xingyun clapped his hands and walked in front of Baili Kuangsheng. He said with a smile, "Swordmaster Kuangsheng is indeed a genius among geniuses. Not only is your talent amazing, even your words are so sharp. I really admire you."
Chu Xingyun's words were not flattery.
First, he drove a wedge between Hu Shen and then forced Qin Qiumo and Chang Chixiao. Baili Kuangsheng had handled these two points very well. This allowed Chu Xingyun to have a deeper understanding of Baili Kuangsheng.
Right now, Chu Xingyun was rather glad. If Baili Kuangsheng was an enemy and not a friend, even an existence like him would find it extremely difficult to deal with.
"I was just showing off in front of Master Guan. If you had said something, I'm afraid that the two of them would have been even more embarrassed." Baili Kuangsheng looked towards Chu Xingyun. His gaze immediately became gentle, no longer as fierce as before.
Hearing this, Chu Xingyun smiled in a non-committal manner. He did not delve into this topic. Changing the topic, he asked Baili Kuangsheng, "I wonder why Swordmaster Kuangsheng has come to the Hundred Weapons Hall?"
Baili Kuangsheng had helped Chu Xingyun twice.
Chu Xingyun wanted to know if Baili Kuangsheng was troubled, so he helped him as thanks.
However, Baili Kuangsheng shook his head and replied, "I've been waiting for you."
