Chapter 14 Debt Collection 1
Xi Jing asked nervously, "Sister, what happened? Did someone break in?"
Zhao Xue began to check the windows, and Han Yueshan quickly lit the oil lamp.
Yue Qiran's face was pale. He forced a smile and said, "Nothing. I just had a nightmare. It was too real and it took me a while to recover. You guys should go back and rest."
Xi Jing confirmed it again, but was still worried and decided to stay with her.
Han Yueshan took out a small cover to cover the oil lamp and said, "Xi Jing, don't turn off the light. It's better to keep the light on when you have a nightmare, and this brightness won't affect your sleep."
"I know."
These people ignored the dagger on the ground as if they were selectively blind, and Yue Qiran remained silent without explaining.
How to explain it? She was an ordinary person with a damaged spiritual vein, yet she had a demon in her heart. This was something incredible.
Xi Jing, who was lying beside her, fell asleep quickly, her breathing even and regular, but she couldn't fall asleep, and what had just happened was still lingering in her mind.
Human cultivation is mainly divided into four categories: Taoism, Buddhism, magic, and body cultivation. Most cultivators focus on Taoism, while the world generally dislikes magic.
The inner demon is a major stumbling block on the road to Taoism, Buddhism and even physical cultivation. If you are not careful, there is a risk of becoming a demon at any time. However, as long as you overcome the inner demon, your strength will improve by leaps and bounds.
But she had never heard of the inner demons of ordinary people, and she didn't know how to deal with them. Most importantly, the inner demons that could create dreams were rare and considered the best among the inner demons.
It was a strange thing. How could such a strange thing happen to her? Did the Heavenly Dao like her or dislike her? Even the inner demon had to give her a better one.
She closed her eyes irritably and began to recite scriptures silently in her mind, so as not to get too excited and attract that annoying guy again.
Early the next morning, Xi Jing got up yawning, only to find Yue Qiran standing by the window looking out, with her packed luggage at her feet.
"elder sister?"
She turned around, smiled, and said, "Xi Jing, thank you for your hospitality these days, but I have to leave."
"Is it so urgent?"
She nodded. Regardless of whether Yisanmen succeeded this time, Nanyimen would keep an eye on them. It would be bad if anyone among them recognized her.
Han Yueshan and the others also hurried over after receiving the news. Yue Qiran looked at them and thought of the dream last night. She said, "Have you come up with a specific method?"
Zhao Xue's face was full of confusion and he said, "I have thought of it, but it's a bit impolite."
He paused, then added under the friendly gazes of his fellow students, "But if they don't practice etiquette first, it's not our fault."
She looked out the window, as if lost in some memory. "After this trip, if they handle it properly, your reputation will inevitably plummet, and you may even become disliked. Think carefully."
Han Yueshan shook his head disapprovingly and said, "The innocent will be cleared. We are not the ones who owe the debt and don't repay it. We are just passively fighting back. If we really have a bad reputation, we will take it slow and steady. There will always be a way to resolve it."
Xi Jing nodded in agreement: "Big Brother is right. Besides, reputation can't be eaten. The sect is barely making ends meet. The most important thing is to survive first. We can worry about the future later."
Yue Qiran looked at this united sect and suddenly felt a little envious, but the envy quickly dissipated.
But what about Master Wen?
She asked doubtfully, and Han Yueshan said casually: "Master is brewing emotions and may not be able to come out to see the girl off."
She didn't ask any more questions, said goodbye to them and left the inn.
However, Yue Qiran did not really leave this place. She found a secluded place outside the town and stayed there, preparing to quietly follow Yisanmen to see if they could succeed. If they succeeded, she would have ended this cause and effect.
Because she was not sure about the strength of Master Wen, she did not dare to follow too closely and almost lost him several times. In the end, she arrived at the South Wing Gate half an hour later than them.
However, the scene that came into her eyes shocked her.
In front of the South Wing Gate, Sect Master Wen was lying on a wooden board, dying. Young Master Zhao and Xi Jing were kneeling in front of him on both sides of the board, both with tears in their eyes.
Young Master Han, dressed in white, stood with a bruised face, shouting in grief and anger, "Master Xu, it's fine you borrowed money and didn't pay it back, and it's fine you beat me and my junior brother, but why did you let people attack my master? After all, my master saved your life back then!"
Sect Master Xu's face turned pale. Someone beside him said, "What are you talking about? Get these bastards out of here, spitting nonsense and slandering others!"
Those people wanted to come forward, but Xi Jing burst into tears, looking extremely pitiful. She cried and shouted, "Master, without you, how can we disciples survive?"
Zhao Xue's eyes were red. He wiped his eyes, as if trying to calm himself down, but he couldn't stop crying.
A young man burst into tears, even his nose was about to run, which made people sigh.
He turned to face those people, opened his arms to protect his master, and said in a hoarse voice: "If you want to touch my master, you have to step over my dead body!"
Sect Master Wen opened his eyes weakly and wanted to reach out to touch the wide sleeves of his second disciple that had fallen on his face, but his hand fell down halfway up. A tear fell from the corner of his eye, and he looked like his life was hanging by a thread.
Those people were a little hesitant, fearing that someone might be killed, as the distinguished guest was still there!
Xi Jing cried even louder. She stood up and yelled at those people, "Xu Chengze, do you still remember what you said when you knelt in front of us and begged us to lend you money? It's only been a few years! You actually sent people to assassinate Master for a few dollars? You are not a human being!"
Han Yueshan gritted his teeth and sneered, "He's not doing this for the money, he's doing it for his face. He's afraid that people will know that he once knelt down."
Xu Chengze looked at the inexplicable expressions of the distinguished guests not far away and almost fainted.
Originally, he could have just sent people to chase them away, but who would have thought that they would appear just when the distinguished guests came, and they looked so miserable that he couldn't chase them away directly, and ended up in their current state.
But he, but he really didn't send anyone to assassinate them! I don't know which bastard did this, but he was blamed for it.
That's all.
He made up his mind and decided to drive them away with force. After all, he could not admit that he had borrowed money, and he could not give them the opportunity to produce evidence, otherwise the order he had snatched before would confirm his reputation as an ungrateful person!
He said coldly, "What nonsense! When did the Nanyi Sect get to the point where they had to borrow money from you? Come, take them away and find out who's behind them!"
After saying this, he looked at the distinguished guests apologetically and calmed down.
No one would meddle in the host's territory, not even distinguished guests. As long as the matter was handled openly, no one would care about the truth.
