Chapter 72: On the second day after the murderous intention, Xiao Jun went to visit...

On the second day, Xiao Jun went to visit Li Youyang first: "How do you feel today, Palace Master Xi?"

Li Youyang said coldly, "The injury has healed, so there's no need to worry."

Xiao Jun put the food away and said, "Palace Master Xi, please try it. I made it myself today."

Li Youyang didn't even pick up his chopsticks: "Alliance leader, I've been fasting for a long time."

Xiao Jun lowered his eyes and picked up the teacup. "Palace Master Xi, I was the one who acted recklessly in the past. I've been so used to having everything go my way that I thought the best things in the world belonged to me. That's why I kept pestering you. I know you don't like alcohol, so I'll offer you tea instead as an apology. I hope you'll forgive me."

He handed it over. Li Youyang took it and took a sip. "There's no need to do this, leader."

Xiao Jun curled his lips, and soon Li Youyang felt a little dizzy: "Leader, I'm a little tired."

After he finished speaking, he lost consciousness. Xiao Jun walked over and helped him up. At the same time, he looked outside the door and saw a monk leaving in a hurry.

Xiao Jun closed the door and carried Li Youyang to the bed. Just as he put him down, a killing array attacked him. Xiao Jun took it head-on without dodging or evading.

Bei Liyuan flashed to Li Youyang's side at the same time and said coldly: "Xiao Jun! What do you want to do!"

Afterwards, Xu Feng walked in with the other palace masters: "What happened?"

Bei Liyuan looked at Xiao Jun coldly. Xiao Jun said weakly, "I just got a convalescent prescription and gave it to Palace Master Xi to try. After drinking it, Palace Master Xi fell asleep. I carried her to the bed. When I was about to leave, Palace Master Bei suddenly barged in... cough cough..."

A mouthful of blood gushed out, and Xu Feng hurried to Xiao Jun's side. "Bei Liyuan, even if the leader made a mistake in the previous battle, you shouldn't have killed him. You said before that you didn't mind, but it turned out to be just hypocrisy."

Bei Liyuan bent down, held Li Youyang's wrist and probed into his spiritual energy. He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that everything was fine.

Xu Feng said solemnly, "Now that we've investigated, are you relieved, Lord Beigong? You're really judging others by your own standards."

"Once bitten, one becomes afraid of ropes for ten years. It's understandable that Master Beigong would assume this. After all, it was me who nearly harmed them before." Xiao Jun lowered his eyes in self-blame. "Deputy Alliance Leader Xu, it was my poor decision-making earlier that caused these two to alienate me. It's my fault. Stop blaming Master Beigong."

After making sure that Li Youyang was fine, Bei Liyuan calmed down instantly. It turned out that this was Xiao Jun's idea, but he was still far behind him in tea art!

Just as he thought of this, Li Youyang suddenly started coughing violently, and then spat out a mouthful of blood. Bei Liyuan was shocked and hurriedly grabbed Li Youyang's wrist and probed into his spiritual breath, but he could not find out what was going on.

Looking at Xiao Jun coldly: "What on earth did you do to him?!"

Xiao Jun was also panicked: "I really didn't do anything, I just added healing elixir to the tea."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Youyang spat out another mouthful of blood. Bei Liyuan's face turned pale, and the fingertips that were holding Li Youyang's wrist could not stop trembling.

At this time, Li Youyang touched Bei Liyuan lightly with his fingers invisibly. Bei Liyuan then realized that Li Youyang was acting and heaved a sigh of relief silently.

Xiao Jun's face turned pale: "I...it's really none of my business, I..."

"Alliance Master, Palace Master Xi and I believe we have done our duty to the alliance. Last time, almost everyone in the palace died in battle, but we didn't complain about you after returning. Why are you targeting us like this?"

"I already said it, I didn't hurt him!"

"I know Pang Tian is different from others to you, but he deserves death for what he did..."

Xiao Jun said in a deep voice: "What does this have to do with Pang Tian! He deserves to die for killing his allies! Lord Bei, don't bring up other things. The most urgent thing is to find a doctor to come and see Lord Xi."

Xu Feng had already left when the incident occurred. He returned with the doctor. After checking Li Youyang's pulse, he checked the teacup and said, "No wonder this happened. This teacup contains Thousand Spirit Honey. Palace Master Xi's constitution is different from others and cannot take honey. In addition, Palace Master Xi was seriously injured before. Fortunately, Palace Master Xi has a high level of cultivation. I will prescribe some medicine. After another half month of recuperation, he should be fine."

Xiao Jun's face was full of self-blame: "I didn't know he couldn't take the honey liquid. I just got the prescription and wanted to make up for it."

Xu Feng echoed, "Master Beigong, the Alliance Leader also didn't know about it beforehand. As the saying goes, ignorance is not a crime..."

Bei Liyuan sneered, "Ignorance is not a crime! If the pain isn't felt by others, then ignorance is not a crime. Vice Alliance Leader Xu is truly generous to others. If it had happened to you today, I wonder if you would have gotten away with it so easily?! Besides, didn't he know Xihe was seriously injured? Did he even ask the doctor where he got the prescription before giving it to Xihe? Not to mention her constitution, would this prescription conflict with the elixir Xihe takes daily? He tricked Xihe into taking it without even asking! Xihe trusted him so much as the Alliance Leader, and this is how he repays her?"

The other palace masters nodded secretly:

"The leader was indeed inconsiderate in this matter. The prescription came from an unknown source. If the drugs conflicted, it could be fatal."

"They didn't explain it in advance and tricked Palace Master Xi into taking it. This behavior is indeed inappropriate."

"Even with Palace Master Xi's cultivation, he could have detected even the slightest bit of caution, yet he fell for it so easily. He truly trusts the Alliance Leader!"

Listening to the crowd's discussions, Xiao Jun looked at Xu Feng with a sullen and cold expression. Xu Feng silently clenched his fist and said in a deep voice, "Alliance Leader also means well. Beigong Lord is now pressing us so hard. Is he asking Alliance Leader to pay with his life?"

Bei Liyuan lowered his head and closed his eyes, saying in disappointment, "Palace Master Xi and I have only just arrived at the alliance and we have already displeased the leader. If we continue to stay, we don't know what will happen. Today, we are officially withdrawing from the alliance, and this Sky Palace token is returned to the leader."

After saying this, he took out the token. Feng Nuo and Lei Caijun hurriedly said, "Master Beigong, please don't act on impulse. Now that foreign tribes are invading, we need to work together to resist them. Today's incident was indeed the fault of the leader. I think he has already realized his mistake and will not make the same mistake again..."

"We appreciate Palace Master Feng's kindness, but seeing Xihe like this, I have decided to leave."

He casually put the token aside, bent down, picked up Li Youyang, and slipped out of the room. The other palace masters hurriedly chased after him, and saw all the cultivators of the Sky Palace kneeling together: "Palace Master Bei, please don't abandon us!"

Li Yuan kowtowed heavily and said, "You and Palace Master Xi saved my life. I swear to follow you till death. Wherever you go, I will go."

The other monks also kowtowed: "We swear to follow the Palace Master until death."

Feng Nuo hurriedly said, "Even if Master Beigong is angry, you shouldn't abandon these monks who are willing to follow you."

Xiao Jun clenched his fists and stepped forward. "Master Beigong, I was inconsiderate in what happened today. I will punish you as you wish. Please don't leave in anger."

Seeing that Bei Liyuan was unmoved, he was about to kneel down, but Xu Feng stopped him in time: "Leader, you can't do that."

Then he bowed respectfully to Bei Liyuan and said, "I was the one who suggested this to the Alliance Leader. I wanted to help him, but I didn't expect... This is all my fault. Please punish me, Lord Beigong."

Xiao Jun blamed himself, "Although you came up with the idea, I didn't think it through carefully. I was too impatient and made a big mistake. I deserve the punishment."

The Palace Master of Tianquan Palace echoed, "Fortunately, Palace Master Xi is fine and will be fine after a few days of recuperation. The Alliance Master and Deputy Alliance Master have already done this, so there is no need for Palace Master Bei to keep harping on this and make a fuss. Let's just leave it at that for today!"

Bei Liyuan looked at the Tianquan Palace Master with cold eyes: "You are making a mountain out of a molehill! That's enough!"

Feng Nuo said solemnly, "Palace Master Zhang, shut up and no one will think you're dumb. Palace Master Bei, Palace Master Xi is in a state where he urgently needs to recuperate. He shouldn't be traveling. There are invading tribes outside right now. If he leaves the alliance, he won't be able to find a suitable place to stay for a while, which will only delay Palace Master Xi's recovery."

Yu Chen came over with the token and said, "Before, the four of us agreed to fight off the foreign tribes together. Now, are you going to take Xihe and abandon us?"

As he was speaking, Xihe slowly woke up.

Xu Feng hurriedly said, "Palace Master Xi, it's my fault. I didn't know that your constitution couldn't drink honey, so I gave the Alliance Leader some advice. Please forgive me."

Feng Nuo added, "Palace Master Xi, please persuade Palace Master Bei not to leave in anger."

Li Youyang coughed weakly twice. "I have a special physique. Not many people know about it. I don't blame others. Why did you leave in anger?"

Feng Nuo roughly recounted the whole story. Li Youyang sighed, "Don't be offended, Li Yuan just has a childish temper. Don't worry, we won't leave. It's not a big deal anyway, so let's all go."

He coughed a few more times as he spoke.

Yu Chen handed the token to Bei Liyuan: "Xihe has spoken, how can you not listen?"

Bei Liyuan took over and said, "I will not disobey his words. Alliance leader, deputy leader, Xihe needs more rest before he recovers. It is better for you two not to disturb him."

Li Youyang wanted to say something else, but Bei Liyuan had already carried him back to the room and closed the door.

The others also dispersed:

"Palace Master Xi's character and demeanor are truly beyond reproach!"

"How could you imagine that in just a few days, everyone in the Sky Dome Palace would be so loyal to him? I really envy the cultivators of the Sky Dome Palace."

"Today's matter has some tricks. If Xigongzhu's physique is not special and nothing happens, then the leader will have to blame Beigongzhu for hurting him."

"Oh! They're really shooting themselves in the foot. With such arrogance, the Heroes Alliance will probably be finished sooner or later!"

"Shh, keep your voice down!"

"What are you afraid of? You dare to do it, but you are afraid of what others say! Besides, we joined the Heroes Alliance to fight against foreign races, not to satisfy Xiao Jun's personal selfish desires. If it really doesn't work, we can just withdraw from the alliance. Palace Master Xi is just too good-tempered and too tolerant. If it were me, with such a high level of cultivation, why would I still be feeling aggrieved? The people in the Sky Palace have already expressed their loyalty and directly left the alliance to set up their own faction to fight against foreign races. If nothing else, I will be the first to join! Tell me what kind of person is our Palace Master of the Tianquan Palace? In the last battle, we finally got an important task, but in the end he just let us fight casually and then stopped us, calling it preserving strength! Bah! He is afraid of death, but I am not!"

"Keep your voice down!"

"I dare to scold him to his face! Don't pull me!"

In the end, the man was dragged away by other monks.

Not far away, Xiao Jun looked at Rumo with a frown. Xu Feng hurriedly said, "Alliance leader, please don't get yourself hurt by anger..."

A murderous intent flashed across Xiao Jun's eyes.
