Chapter 277 Falling out
Most people in the Taoist temple knew Shen Xiyi. When they saw Shen Xiyi stumbling in from the door, they were first surprised, and then their eyes became complicated.
"Don't go over there." The young uncle Li Lingfeng held her back.
The master’s tablet is not here, but the ceremony must be performed in front of the temple.
"Uncle Master, where is Master?"
There was a faint chill on Li Lingfeng's brows, and her eyes were red, obviously she had just cried. She must have been very sad on the way here.
"Xiyi, Senior Brother didn't feel any pain when he left. Although he felt a little sorry for not seeing you, you know he would never blame you."
Li Lingfeng did not speak harshly to her. Everyone knew that Shen Xiyi was the only disciple of the mortal world that his senior brother cared about.
Shen Xiyi held Li Lingfeng's arm tightly: "I'm sorry, I'm late."
Except for a few brothers who were doing the Daoist work, the rest of the people looked at Shen Xiyi with complicated eyes.
Of course, there are also people who are dissatisfied with her. They think that she is ungrateful and did not even see her savior for the last time. She is cold-blooded and heartless and does not deserve to enter Yuntai Temple again.
Li Lingfeng stood on the high steps and looked down. The man standing at the door of the Taoist temple was Liang Junchen.
His eyes were fixed on Shen Xiyi, and the look in his eyes was not friendly.
"It's not too late. Tomorrow is just the right time to see you off." Li Lingfeng is a cold man. He is not as easy to talk to as his senior brother Li Zhenling. He is never polite to unfriendly outsiders.
Shen Xiyi seemed to have completely forgotten the existence of Liang Junchen after entering the door.
"Is your husband going to come in, or not?"
Although Li Lingfeng was asking Shen Xiyi, his high-pitched voice was directed at Liang Junchen.
Shen Xiyi paused and looked at Liang Junchen at the door. Her eyes darkened: "He has nothing to do with this place, so there is no need..."
"I will accompany you to see your master off for the last time tomorrow." Liang Junchen interrupted Shen Xiyi.
How could he not feel that everyone in this Taoist temple rejected him?
He walked step by step to Shen Xiyi under many unfriendly looks, raised his hand and gently supported her.
"We have simple food here, I'm afraid Mr. Liang won't be used to it."
"It's just a few days, I can get used to it."
Liang Junchen had seen this person several times in the Taoist Association's information. After Li Zhenling passed away, he would be the youngest abbot of this Taoist temple.
From now on, he has the final say here.
"I'll take Xiyi to see the master first. Mr. Liang, please stop." Li Lingfeng's voice was cold, showing neither disgust nor dislike.
Although he is usually like this.
Liang Junchen was still left where he was, watching Shen Xiyi and Li Lingfeng leave.
The distance from the front hall to the residential area in the backyard is neither long nor short.
Li Lingfeng's pace gradually slowed down. "I sent someone a message to you. I called you many times and sent you many messages. Why are you here only now?"
It’s not that Li Lingfeng doesn’t mind, but it’s inevitable that it’s a bit too much to teach Shen Xiyi a lesson in front of so many people.
Shen Xiyi looked up and met Li Lingfeng's sharp gaze, but could only smile bitterly: "I'm sorry, uncle, I..."
She wanted to explain, but she didn't know how.
Liang Junchen intercepted the message. It was ridiculous that her own mobile phone was not even under her control.
Li Lingfeng looked back at Shen Xiyi who was standing there motionless. It was not like this when she was a child in the Taoist temple.
"It's unexpected that you are at the mercy of others." Li Lingfeng didn't say much, but his short comment was enough to hurt people's hearts.
Li Zhenling's tablet was in another courtyard, and Shen Xiyi had gone to see it.
Because of the above rigid requirements, the old man was cremated, and there was only a jar of ashes behind the memorial tablet.
Li Lingfeng was waiting for her in the square courtyard, and Shen Xiyi stayed inside for a long time before coming out.
"Go and rest first, get some sleep and then eat something in the evening."
"Master has already said before that you, Uncle Master, will be the next host. Can I... come back in the future?"
"As long as you come back, there will always be a room for you here." Li Lingfeng walked quickly in front, and his simple words also floated into the wind.
Shen Xiyi quickly caught up with him: "Uncle, is Senior Brother Qingning here?"
Now is the time when Liang Junchen cannot get in. The people in front are all his senior brothers who are practicing martial arts. It is still difficult for Liang Junchen to break in with his bare hands.
So she took the time to ask what she wanted to ask.
Li Lingfeng nodded slowly, but said nothing else.
Shen Xiyi still kept up with Li Lingfeng's fast pace without falling behind at all.
"What does it have to do with you whether he's here or not?"
"I'm just worried about him."
Li Lingfeng slowly stopped when he crossed another yard, and his face was solemn when he turned around.
When Shen Xiyi saw Li Lingfeng's expression, his heart suddenly choked.
"I'll take you to see him."
Gong Cheng must be here, but the condition should be bad. Shen Xiyi seemed to be entangled by invisible tough threads, and all the senses in his body were in pain.
Li Lingfeng led her to the living area and pushed open a wooden door.
"Uncle Master?" Gong Cheng's voice came from inside, gentle and a little surprised.
Li Lingfeng said nothing, and slowly made way to fully reveal Shen Xiyi behind him.
Gong Cheng's leg was in plaster and he was sitting in a simple wheelchair. When he saw Shen Xiyi, he was stunned, then looked at Li Lingfeng in disbelief, and his emotions suddenly got out of control.
"Master, didn't I tell her not to know?"
"She was the one who brought you this trouble. It's only natural for her to come and see you and know the truth."
Miyagi held the wheelchair with both hands, his knuckles gripping the armrests so tightly that his joints turned white.
He didn't want Shen Xiyi to see his miserable appearance.
"There's still a lot to do. I'll go over first. You can have a good talk with your senior brother. As for your husband, I'm sorry, I don't plan to let him into the backyard."
Shen Xiyi nodded in understanding.
After Li Lingfeng left, the entire backyard was empty, with only the mountain breeze blowing from time to time.
Shen Xiyi stood at the door blankly for a long time before he managed to calm himself down and stepped into the door.
Seeing Shen Xiyi staring at his legs, Gong Cheng smiled and said, "It's okay, it just takes time to recover. My master passed away, so I just came here to recuperate my legs."
Shen Xiyi swallowed lightly.
"How did it become like this?"
Li Lingfeng had just made it very clear that the trouble in Gongcheng was caused by her, and something must have happened in the process that she didn't know about.
"It's just a car accident, you're not really disabled, you don't have to be too nervous."
"Did Liang Junchen do this?"
Miyagi lowered his eyes and stopped looking at her, and fell silent all of a sudden.
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't have any evidence. The car accident was an accident."
Shen Xiyi tried his best to suppress his anger. How dare Liang Junchen do this? How dare he attack such an important person around him?
Shen Xiyi had helped a lot behind the scenes in the previous troubles of the Gong family. When Gong Cheng found out, he was a little bit unbelievable.
But now looking at Shen Xiyi's expression, he began to believe it a little.
I've watched her grow up, but I've never seen her so violent.
"Brother, you don't understand him." Shen Xiyi's eyes were full of gloom at this moment, "He is capable of doing such a thing."
Liang Junchen even harmed Gong Cheng based on his own mood. As long as he felt someone was a threat, he would think of getting rid of them.
Wen Zhu was schemed against by him several times and played around in his hands.
What is the difference between her now and Wen Zhu back then?
Thinking about it, Shen Xiyi laughed sadly, and seeing her like this, Gong Cheng couldn't help but frowned worriedly.
"Xiyi, even if you turn against him for me now, you have no chance of winning. Don't be impulsive."
This is the main reason why Gong Cheng wants to hide this from her. If Shen Xiyi knew the truth, she would definitely turn against Liang Junchen.
Shen Xiyi raised his eyes and looked at Gong Cheng with a faint expression: "On the way here, I had already fallen out with him."
She said without any scruples the words he couldn't bear to hear and the ones he didn't want to hear the most. If she went back from here, Liang Junchen would probably not let her go.
"Xiyi..."
"I am sorry, brother. These things must be explained." Shen Xiyi couldn't bear to look at Gong Cheng's injured legs.
These successive blows made it impossible for her to climb out of the abyss.
