Li Yi felt that the heavens were too unfair.
They were both only a step away from becoming a Grandmaster. Why was it that when he kissed Ruyi, Ruyi broke through, but he did not improve at all?
Moreover, her breakthrough was the kind of breakthrough that could shock people to death. She had only become a Grandmaster for two hours, but she could already beat the Taoist nun who had been stuck in the Grandmaster Realm for decades.
Although this kiss was blissful and beautiful, so beautiful that it bubbled …
But it also made one of the beautiful wishes in his heart — the wish that one day he could be the master of the world, completely become a bubble.
He looked at Ruyi gloomily and said, "Why don't you try kissing me again? Maybe I can break through too …"
Miss.Liu rolled her eyes at him and turned to walk forward.
Li Yi hurriedly chased after her. "Why don't I kiss you too …"
…
Outside Shengzhou City, in a small courtyard in a deserted village.
Inside the room, the smell of blood assailed the nostrils.
Taoist Nun held a horsetail whisk in her hand and slowly sat down. The room was covered in blood, and the four men in purple lying on the ground were moaning in pain.
"When did it start?" She covered her mouth and coughed a few times, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth. Her voice was emotionless.
One of the men in purple was lying at her feet. His throat made a sound like a broken bellow, and he kept coughing out blood.
He coughed for a long time before he said, "This subordinate … this subordinate has been following Her Highness since twenty years ago. Today's ending is all … all of it is my own fault …"
After saying this, he seemed to have used up all his strength. His chest was heaving up and down. After a long pause, he continued, "I don't beg you to spare my life. I only hope that you can give me a quick death so that I won't be wasting my time following you all these years …"
The middle-aged Taoist nun looked at him and said softly, "The Guardian asked you to do this …"
None of the four men in purple said anything.
"Come out …" The Taoist nun coughed again and said, "Come out and tell me, why did you do this?"
Creak …
The back door of the room was pushed open, and a figure came in from behind.
"Auntie …" Fang Yu stood in the room and looked at her. He sighed and said, "Don't blame me …"
The middle-aged Daoist nun put the horsetail whisk on the table and looked at him, saying, "Give me a reason."
"What reason do I need?" Fang Yu shook his head and said, "Only when Auntie dies and the Holy Religion is in my hands can I do what I want to do. What's the point of being a protector? What's the point of being a queen? What's the point of being an emperor? Do you understand?"
"I want to be the emperor … but you won't let me!" Fang Yu looked at him with a slightly ferocious expression and said, "The Holy Religion is the Holy Religion of our Fang family. You actually made me the Right Emissary and gave the token of the Left Emissary to a completely unrelated person. We're about to conquer the Qi Kingdom, but what about you? You made that man surnamed Zhao the emperor … Did you ever consider my feelings when you did this?"
"If you become the emperor, you'll be opposed by the entire Qi Kingdom …" The middle-aged Taoist nun was silent for a moment and asked, "Don't you want to avenge the Fang family?"
"What do you mean by great enmity? Whoever wants to do it can do it!"
Fang Yu waved his hand and said, "The Jing Kingdom is so powerful. With just us, we won't be able to get our revenge in this lifetime. Isn't it good to be the emperor of the Qi Kingdom? Why do we have to go against the Jing Kingdom?"
The Taoist nun looked at him calmly. After a long while, she lowered her eyelids.
"You're the last male descendant of the Fang family. Your father entrusted you to me back then so that I could help you complete your great plan of revenge …" She shook her head and said, "Even you don't care, so why should I?"
After she said that, she couldn't help but cough a few more times. A few more blood-colored flowers appeared on the Taoist robe in front of her chest.
She was already seriously injured, and she was ambushed by those four people just now. Now, her injuries were even more serious.
She had wanted to stabilize her injuries as quickly as possible and then escape immediately. But now, it was all too late.
"Don't you dare use my father to pressure me!" Fang Yu roared, "How many years has it been since the incident of the Fang family? Why should I be the one to avenge them? I don't want revenge. I just want to be the emperor. Whoever doesn't let me be the emperor, I'll kill them! Zhao Zheng can't do it, and neither can you! "
"I've waited for so many years!" A look of melancholy appeared on Fang Yu's face. He murmured, "I had placed all my hopes on the King of Shu, but the King of Shu of the Jing Kingdom is a complete good-for-nothing. Zhao Zheng is also a good-for-nothing, but … good-for-nothings are also useful. Zhao Zheng, that good-for-nothing, can make me the emperor of the Qi Kingdom. I can't miss this opportunity. To hell with Holy Religion, to hell with vengeance. Can they be more important than being the emperor …"
The middle-aged Taoist nun coughed a few more times. This time, the blood at the corner of her mouth was not wiped clean.
She looked in a certain direction and said, "You shouldn't have come …"
Fang Yu looked at her and shook his head. He said, "Aunt, you know that I can't rest easy if I don't see you die with my own eyes …"
The middle-aged Taoist nun wiped the corner of her mouth with her sleeve again. She looked out of the door and said, "Come in."
"Who's there?" Fang Yu's expression changed and he turned around abruptly.
Li Yi and Ruyi walked in from the door. Behind them were Xu, Elder Tian, and Chang.
The middle-aged Taoist nun looked up and said, "I've kept you waiting, haven't I?"
Xu's expression was extremely gloomy. It was as if the goods he had guarded for many years had been stolen at the most critical moment …
More importantly, he could neither blame nor seek revenge on the person who had stolen his goods …
Fang Yu's face turned pale. He instinctively wanted to turn and run. Xu waved his hand and a White Rabbit Creamy Candy struck his neck. Fang Yu fell to the ground.
"Forget it. Since you don't want revenge, then let's not do it …" The middle-aged Taoist nun mumbled. "After all, only you can represent the Fang family …"
After saying this, her entire body seemed to relax. A smile that Li Yi had never seen appeared on her face.
She looked at Miss.Liu and said, "Twenty years ago, I lost to Liu Qing in one move. Twenty years later, I lost to you in one move. Your Liu family … cough, cough …"
Before she could finish, she vomited another mouthful of blood. The front of her Taoist robe was completely dyed red.
"This is for you. Spare his life." She looked at Fang Yu and took out a token made of unknown material from her waist. She handed it to Li Yi.
Li Yi knew what it was. He reached out and took it. He nodded and said, "Okay."
She looked at Miss.Liu and said weakly, "There's … there's something I need your help with."
She handed the horsetail whisk to Ruyi and said, "This horsetail whisk was given to me by him years ago. If there's a chance in the future, please help me stick it in front of his grave. Tell him … tell him that Fang Jingyu doesn't owe him anything anymore …"
Miss.Liu thought for a moment and took the horsetail whisk. She nodded and said, "I promise you."
"Thank you …"
Taoist Nun's expression was no longer as calm as usual. She smiled and quietly leaned against the chair.
There was no more sound.
Xu let out a long sigh and murmured, "It's not enough to kill her. Why did she have to do this?"
Li Yi could see that before today, this Taoist nun seemed to be carrying something extremely heavy on her back. Even though she was a Grandmaster with top-notch martial arts skills, it was still difficult for her to breathe under the weight of the burden.
At that moment, the weight on her body seemed to have completely disappeared.
This Taoist nun had kidnapped him and saved him before. Li Yi hated her, but not to the extent that he hated her to the bone.
He suddenly felt a sense of sorrow in his heart.
He did not know if it was because of the passing of a Grandmaster, or because an old friend he had known for a long time had passed away right before his eyes.
Miss.Liu's eyes were also a little red. Li Yi held her waist and let her head rest on his shoulder. He patted her back to comfort her.
Then, he felt a hard pinch on his waist.
…
There was one less Grandmaster in this world.
There was a new grave outside Shengzhou City.
The coffin was personally made by Xu using an old tree in the courtyard.
The grave was dug by Chang. He took a shovel and dug for two hours without saying a word.
Elder Tian helped her wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth and changed her into a clean set of clothes.
Miss.Liu carved a tombstone for her. The words on the tombstone were personally carved by Li Yi.
This was probably a kind of mutual appreciation between Grandmasters. It had nothing to do with friend or foe. At some point, Li Yi felt that he should not have joined in the fun. After all, he was not even a Grandmaster. Unknowingly, he had lowered the status of the four of them.
There was only a simple line of words on the tombstone.
Tomb of Fang Jingyu.
This was a very ordinary grave, so ordinary that it couldn't be any more ordinary. There was no way that anyone would know that a martial arts grandmaster was buried here, as well as the Heavenly Empress who had hundreds of thousands of followers …
