Chapter 92 The Eldest Disciple of the Joyous Union Sect VS Grandmaster Guangfeng Jiyue 9

Hehuan Peak.

"You killed him?" Jiang Zhiyi was still a little stunned.

"Hmm." Xu Wenye's tone remained the same as usual; he didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with it.

"If he has broken free from his bloodlust, then let him be used as a sacrifice to the sword."

Xu Wenye removed the robes that were wrapped around her body and stroked the skin on her shoulders with his hands.

Jiang Zhiyi felt inexplicably uneasy; his gaze wasn't what she expected...

She sensed that he wasn't in a good mood.

Not just because of myself, but also because of something else.

"Xu Wenye, I..."

Just as Jiang Zhiyi was about to say something, Xu Wenye took the bottle of medicine directly from her body.

"If you're going to do something like this, then do it cleanly. Now you're the one being schemed against?"

Jiang Zhiyi had no choice but to nod in agreement.

While lecturing her, Xu Wenye devised a plan to burn the pills.

The flickering flames were sometimes fierce, sometimes gentle, and his gaze was fixed on that flame.

Jiang Zhiyi sensed that something terrible was about to happen.

Unexpectedly, he knew the truth from the beginning, so he must also know very well that she did that on purpose to provoke him.

what to do?

What should we do now?

Will she be the next one to be sacrificed to the sword?

Jiang Zhiyi was genuinely anxious at this moment.

Why is it that one problem after another arises?

In a moment of quick thinking, she hugged Xu Wenye tightly, her voice still trembling with tears: "I didn't want this either, but I really can't beat him."

"And even if I hadn't done that today, as long as I beat him, they would still be suspicious and would still forcibly search me."

"I didn't mean to scheme against you. Are you angry? I don't know who else will help me."

Jiang Zhiyi began to cry sadly.

Of course, it wasn't the kind of sadness she described.

It was the overwhelming emotional turmoil that made her so heartbroken that she couldn't accept it all at once.

It's the sadness of worrying that if I don't complete the task, I might have my salary deducted.

Her money...

This task is too difficult.

Xu Wenye wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his hand.

His voice was deep: "You don't need to worry about anything. Now that the person is dead, no one else will know about this. Xu Jiu will handle the rest, and I won't hold it against you."

"You are not allowed to do such things again, whether it is framing your fellow disciples or the extreme actions you took later."

Xu Wenye sighed.

"This is the last time I'll help you, do you understand?"

Jiang Zhiyi looked up at him, her heart still pounding.

So he probably wasn't angry, right?

So he means we should just let today's matter go, right?

Jiang Zhiyi felt that her salary was secured again.

Thank goodness, she was really scared just now.

She nodded vigorously, her eyes sincere.

Xu Wenye responded indifferently upon seeing this.

Seeing that his expression wasn't as bad as before, Jiang Zhiyi felt that she could try to test him a little further.

"But what if they bully me in the future?"

"Actually, most of the time they're the ones who want to provoke me, and I'm never going to let them get away with it!"

Jiang Zhiyi's voice carried her usual pride.

She tilted her head slightly, and a few strands of soft hair fell to one side of her cheek.

Xu Wenye reached out and tucked her stray hairs behind her ear.

He was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "The vast majority of disciples of Mount Ling are not like that. Give me the names of those who deliberately cause trouble, and I will have the Discipline Hall discipline them."

Then Xu Wenye chuckled again, the meaning of which was unclear.

He continued, "And when it comes to causing trouble, you should also have your name on this list."

Jiang Zhiyi could tell that these weren't pleasant words.

He might be hinting at something to her.

Jiang Zhiyi tiptoed and kissed his cheek, deliberately lowering her eyes to avoid looking at him.

Her voice was filled with sadness: "I admit that I approached you with an ulterior motive at first. I wanted to use you to improve my cultivation. It was all my fault."

"But I'm not without feelings for you. I'm not made of wood; I can fall in love too. So many times... I've actually felt quite happy. I've realized I've fallen for you!"

After saying this, Jiang Zhiyi looked up at him again, her eyes brimming with affection.

“I don’t know when it started, but when something happens, the first person I think of is you. You are the person I rely on and trust the most in Lingshan now.”

A dedicated sucker, huh...

"I don't want it to be the last time. You have to protect me like you did today from now on, okay?"

Xu Wenye lifted her chin and carefully examined the delicate and timid person in front of him.

At this moment, she seemed genuinely sincere, no longer displaying the feigned flattery of before.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes, right?" Jiang Zhiyi asked.

Xu Wenye stared at her for a long time, which could be considered an admission.

Jiang Zhiyi smiled, her smile as sweet as if she had eaten honey. She leaned in and kissed the corner of his mouth: "Aye, you're so good."

Xu Wenye said solemnly, "We must not go too far."

"I know," Jiang Zhiyi nodded obediently.

"You should get some rest." He prepared to leave.

"No, I want you to stay with me."

"I have something else to do; I need to go find Xu Jiu."

Xu Wenye offered her a rare explanation.

"Then give me a kiss before you go." Jiang Zhiyi clung to him, now reverting to her spoiled little beast self.

Xu Wenye paused for a moment, then gently kissed the corner of her reddened eye.

When she cried just now, there were tears on her eyelashes, her whole face was red, and the corners of her eyes were tinged with color.

"You can go now." Jiang Zhiyi watched him leave.

...

night.

The Sect Leader's Hall.

"Do you know what you've done?" Xu Yuanqing's voice was devoid of any warmth.

"So what if he's dead? I'll talk to Wan Chengfeng about it tomorrow, and he won't have any objections."

"You know that's not what I meant!"

Xu Wenye lowered his eyes and remained silent.

"Don't forget the responsibilities you bear. You should know what you should and shouldn't do. I'm not saying it because I think you can handle it."

"I see."

"Go to the dark room to be punished and stay there for six hours," Xu Yuanqing said with his eyes closed.

She didn't want to intervene, but if there was a next time, that woman absolutely couldn't be allowed to live!

Upon hearing this, Xu Wenye left immediately.

...

The dark chamber of Lingzhong Palace.

Xu Wenye had not been here for a long time, or rather, he had not been here to be tortured for a long time.

When he was young, he couldn't bear the hardships of cultivation, so after each act of willfulness, he would come here and stay for a whole night or several days.

Later, as he gradually became more sensible, the time he was punished gradually decreased, and it was no longer so long. Eventually, he was not punished at all.

But now, he has come here again.

Xu Wenye knelt in the center of the dark room.

One after another, bolts of tribulation lightning fell.

The power of thunder is immense.

Cultivating the mind and seeking the Dao...

Oh.

Soon, blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and he hunched over in a disheveled state.

Xu Wenye thought about what had happened today.

He didn't intend to kill anyone; he only wanted to punish Wan Yongmu. It was Po Nian who acted too quickly.

Po Nian is, after all, a spirit sword stained with blood; it doesn't have many twists and turns, and it doesn't know how to be patient or restrained in dealing with matters.

Can--

Its every thought and action reflects its truest feelings.

He was never a kind person to begin with.

Xu Wenye secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When he first gained control of those cultivation levels, he had a strong urge to kill.

Xu Yuanqing then put him in charge of handling criminals from the sect and also sent him down the mountain to gain experience.

During that period, he killed countless people.

Every day his clothes were soaked in the blood of others.

But he quickly grew tired of it, though he also knew how to suppress his bloodthirsty urges.

Therefore, Xu Wenye always felt that there was nothing he wouldn't get tired of.

Instead of suppressing it, it's better to let go first.

Later he met Jiang Zhiyi...

It's nothing more than male-female love.

In his view, lust is far more vulnerable than anything else.

So he didn't deliberately try to avoid anything.

During those days, he also indulged himself willingly.

But he became increasingly addicted, and today's events were completely unexpected.

This means he can no longer use the old methods.

Sometimes, he simply couldn't bring himself to refuse her, just like how easily he had agreed to her requests during the day.

Xu Wenye pondered to himself.

How should he...handle? resolve? make arrangements for her?

He can't even think of a suitable word right now.
