Chapter 25 Are you worthy of Beiju?
"Later, I heard that two children from the Watermelon Tribe seemed to have escaped. They were Watermelon Yueguang's children. So I secretly lurked among the Chiguo Pavilion's pursuit team and found Watermelon Beiju and Watermelon Qiuyue..."
Lizhi Yuhui slowly summarized his past experiences. His originally cheerful expression suddenly turned into one of sorrow and pain.
The demise of the Watermelon Clan tormented Tang Beiju for countless long years, and also made Lizhi Yuhui suffer in her dreams every night, making her miserable and burdened with countless regrets and sorrows in her heart.
The air seemed to have stagnated.
As outsiders, Apple Xinshan and Green Ti Yaoming did not dare to say much, but their eyes moved between Litchi Yuhui, Xu Ren'er, Mo Youli and Tang Qiuyue.
"Does Beiju know that you didn't kill Xigua Yueguang yourself?"
After a long time, Xu Ren'er's brain finally digested all the information he had received and asked.
Hearing this, Lizhi Yuhui avoided everyone's gaze and said quickly, "He doesn't know."
Xu Ren'er's eyes were sharp, and he couldn't help but say:
"Why didn't you tell him? Beiju must have asked you. You deliberately omitted the process!"
"No, I..."
Hearing this, Lizhi Yuhui looked at Xu Ren'er, wanting to defend himself, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to start...
Xu Ren'er stared at him, patiently waiting for Lizhi Yuhui's reply.
After a long while, seeing that Lizhi Yuhui was still unable to speak, Xu Ren'er sneered and unceremoniously exposed Lizhi Yuhui's true thoughts to the air:
"You didn't tell him because you felt guilty!
If it weren't for you insisting on keeping your own creation and refusing to listen to the advice of Hami Gua Hen Huai and Xigua Yue Guang.
Then, Chiguo Pavilion would not have known the weaknesses of the Watermelon Clan, and Watermelon Yueguang and Watermelon Taiyang would not have died!
You think that it was your lingering obsession that led to the demise of the Watermelon Tribe, and you are the culprit!
So you long for someone from the Watermelon Clan to appear and let you repay your debt, die as a token of atonement, and make up for your debt to the Watermelon Clan.
And if that person is Xigua Yueguang's child, then that would be perfect! This way, the pain that has accumulated in your heart for many years can be completely relieved.
Am I right, Master?
Every word Xu Ren'er said was heart-wrenching, and every word that came out of his mouth seemed to be hitting Lizhi Yuhui's heart desperately.
Lizhi Yuhui was in so much pain that he couldn't help but raise his hands and cover his ears, trying to block out Xu Rener's words.
His action successfully aroused Xu Ren'er's anger. She strode forward and did a bold act of bullying her teacher. Her dog claws pulled off Lizhi Yuhui's leader and forced Lizhi Yuhui to look her in the eye.
“Master!”
Xu Ren'er shouted with all his might, as if as long as his voice was loud enough, he could penetrate Lizhi Yuhui's eardrums and drain the excess moisture from his brain:
"Are you being fair to Beiju by doing this?! What gives you the right to make decisions for Beiju without his permission?! Let him bear the pain of having his father kill his master?
Have you ever considered Beiju's inner feelings? Have you given Beiju the right to make his own decisions?
Just because you are our master, do you have the right to arbitrarily control the fate of your disciples?"
Because he was forcibly pulled in front of Xu Ren'er, Xu Ren'er's eyes appeared infinitely magnified in front of Lizhi Yuhui.
He clearly saw Xu Ren'er's eyes. Unlike her ferocious expression, Xu Ren'er's eyes were filled with infinite sorrow.
As she roared at him at the top of her lungs, Lizhi Yuhui noticed that tears were also falling from the corners of Xu Ren'er's eyes.
“Master…”
A soft voice came from their ears, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice. It was Tang Qiuyue who had been silent all the time.
Tang Qiuyue has always been the most emotionally unstable and volatile child among Lizhi Yuhui's four disciples.
Logically speaking, if this happened, the person responsible for shouting angrily at him would be less likely to be Xu Ren'er, but more likely to be Tang Qiuyue.
However, now, among the disciples present, the one with the calmest expression and the most peaceful tone is her.
"I know that compared to my brother, my martial arts skills are not that great; compared to Ren'er, my personality is not that stable; compared to Ali, my knowledge is not that profound.
I am not smart, and I am stupid and reckless. Among the four of us, I have always been the one secretly protected by you. I can indulge my innocence and simplicity without restraint because you are behind me.
so……"
Tang Qiuyue suddenly paused for a moment, her throat seemed to choke, she lowered her head and revealed a faint smile that was uglier than crying, and continued:
“So, I can’t be as comprehensive as Ren’er and Ali, and consider everyone’s perspective.
It is also difficult for me to say anything profound to express what I am thinking in my heart.
All I know is that, without knowing you were actually still alive, when I heard that my brother had killed you with his own hands, I felt like my world had completely collapsed."
The heartfelt words moved everyone present. The air returned to silence again. Everyone was silent, but at this moment their hearts were already in turmoil.
"Master, have you ever thought about finding the real murderer who harmed the Watermelon Tribe over the years? And avenging the Watermelon Tribe?"
After a while, Mo Youli suddenly spoke and said softly.
"I……"
Hearing this, Lizhi Yuhui hesitated.
He didn't answer immediately, and Mo Youli understood.
Over the years, Lizhi Yuhui has been in a state of self-blame because of the pain of killing his friend due to his own carelessness, so he has never thought about investigating the real murderer who killed the Watermelon Clan.
Xu Ren'er, who had been pulling Lizhi Yuhui frantically, had now completely calmed down. She let go of the dog's claws, patted Lizhi Yuhui's shoulder, and smiled.
The next second, she took Tang Qiuyue's hand with her left claw, and took Mo Youli's hand with her right claw, and brought them both to Lizhi Yuhui's side, pressing both hands and one claw on Lizhi Yuhui's palms at the same time.
"Master, even if it's for our sake, please come with us to find Beiju. Tell Beiju the truth about you and the Watermelon Clan.
Then we will go together to find the real mastermind behind the destruction of the Watermelon Tribe. For the Watermelon Tribe, for Beiju's parents, for Qiuyue's parents, we will find the real murderer, kill them, and avenge all the dead Watermelon Tribe compatriots."
In an instant, Lizhi Yuhui was overwhelmed with mixed feelings, his eyes gradually moistened, and he said:
"But, Ren'er... I didn't kill Boren, but he died because of me. I can't escape responsibility for the demise of the Watermelon Tribe."
Xu Ren'er said firmly:
"We'll have our say on all these matters once we meet Beiju. Whether the Watermelon Tribe's disaster was related to you or not is not up to you to decide, but Beiju."
After he finished speaking, Xu Ren'er turned his head, shifted his gaze to Tang Qiuyue, and gave her a look.
Receiving Xu Ren'er's hint, Tang Qiuyue nodded slightly and added:
"Master, although I don't have any feelings for the Watermelon Clan, my words may not be convincing to you.
But I am also a member of the Watermelon Clan after all. At least from my perspective, the demise of the Watermelon Clan has little to do with you.
So, come with us to find my brother. Go and explain everything to him."
Tang Qiuyue's words went straight into Lizhi Yuhui's heart. His mind was full of thoughts. Finally, he took the initiative to put his other hand on the backs of his three disciples' hands.
"Okay." He agreed.
Seeing that the conflict between the four masters and apprentices was almost resolved, Pingguo Xinshan and Qingti Yaoming looked at each other. Pingguo Xinshan took the initiative to step forward and deliberately coughed twice.
The four guys opposite immediately realized their current situation, withdrew their hands, stood back to their original positions, and looked at their noses and hearts, as if what had just happened had never happened.
After all, they were in front of outsiders, and the four of them took turns to express their emotions, feeling a little embarrassed and ashamed many times.
Apple Xinshan's emotional intelligence was high. She pretended to be completely oblivious to what had just happened, took over the topic, and began to talk about the key points:
"From Lizhi Yuhui's description of the past, the overall conclusion is similar to our analysis, with only a slight deviation, but the impact is not significant.
Then the problem arises.
Lizhi Yuhui did not kill the Watermelon Clan personally. It is very likely that Hami Gua Henhuai was deceived during the investigation and misunderstood that it was Lizhi Yuhui who killed them. Lizhi Yuhui would not explain too much because he felt guilty.
This caused them to become enemies.”
Thinking of this, Apple Xinshan couldn't help but sigh that the mastermind hiding behind the scenes was indeed a very powerful person.
He was able to easily manipulate the three outstanding figures of that time.
Such an enemy should not be underestimated. They must be fully prepared to fight against it.
"It's still difficult to find the real mastermind behind this. Let's focus on another issue for now."
Qingti Yaoming glanced at Lizhi Yuhui inconspicuously and said.
After not seeing each other for many years, he can no longer see through Lizhi Yuhui's strength. He is afraid that Lizhi Yuhui's martial arts has reached the pinnacle and is unmatched by anyone.
Tang Qiuyue: "What's the problem?"
"Lizhi Yuhui just mentioned a point. The notebook he wrote was lost in Chiguo Pavilion.
Lizhi Yuhui was, after all, the youngest and most powerful assassin in Chiguo Pavilion. Facing such a skilled warrior, how could he steal something he valued without being discovered?
Hearing this, Xu Ren'er nodded in agreement, and Mo Youli continued, "Unless, the person responsible for the theft is also a martial arts master who is no less skilled."
Apple Xinshan looked at Litchi Yuhui and asked:
"Do you have any idea who is not defeated by you in Chiguo Pavilion?"
Lizhi Yuhui looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him expectantly, waiting for his answer.
Unfortunately, Lizhi Yuhui shook his head helplessly and said helplessly:
"At that time, I was already invincible. I never thought that someone could steal the book I created from me without anyone noticing."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Everyone..."
Xigua Tangqiu, a middle-aged woman who had almost never spoken during the whole process, suddenly spoke out of the blue, attracting everyone's attention.
“Regarding the mastermind behind the murder of the Watermelon Tribe, I can give you a suggestion: go find Hamiguahenhuai.
He might have already had an idea."
