Chapter 432: Provocation (1)
Soon after, the two pieces of news spread throughout the Xuanyue Continent, sparking endless discussions among the public.
One of them was that the cultivation of the famous Qingqin Zhenren of Minglan Sect was destroyed. His current strength was only equivalent to that of a cultivator in the Heart-moving Stage. The place where he had the accident was even more incredible - a relic of physical cultivation. Few people looked up to physical cultivation, but this Qingqin Zhenren had an accident in this relic, which was really astonishing.
Various opinions arose. For example, some people believed that Lan Yongji was schemed by others and was not killed by the relics; others believed that Master Qingqin was not worthy of his name and was just a silver-coated wax spear head.
Of course, the latter speculation is probably related to some bored physical cultivators.
Inside the teahouse, Xing Yan sat by the second-floor window, listening to the one-sided discussions downstairs, looking somewhat bored.
Wang Xu sat across from him and said, "You borrowed my people just to mock Lan Yongji?"
He asked, “Is there a problem?”
“Overkill.”
Xing Yan laughed and said, "It's not my talent. I don't care whether it's of great use or small use. As long as I enjoy using it, that's all that matters."
Wang Xu shook his head helplessly and said, "You have inherited her personality. It's really annoying."
He tutted his words and said, "Master Wang, it's just a small matter, yet you still remember it. You have no magnanimity. Besides, Senior Sister is a very nice person."
Wang Xu's expression remained unchanged, and he simply said, "Only you in the Punishment Hall would think she is a good person."
Xing Yan said: "Are you sure?"
"Who else could it be?"
He counted them one by one: "Qiu Xuanhuan."
"That's naive."
"Yue Qingya."
"The two of them have different personalities and have long since drifted apart."
"Nine Pure Spirits."
"That's unreasonable."
Xing Yan's forehead twitched, and he replied with a forced smile, "So everyone who's on good terms with Senior Sister has a problem?"
Wang Xu said calmly, "Almost the same."
A familiar voice rang out: "Master Wang Shao, don't tease Xing Yan. He will take it seriously."
Wangxu turned around and saw that it was indeed Xing Zhan, but there was one thing that surprised him - Xing Zhan was sitting in a wheelchair, and Xing He was standing behind him pushing it.
He smiled slightly and said, "It's just a joke. I don't think Fellow Daoist Xing Yan will take it seriously."
As soon as Xing Zhan appeared, Xing Yan immediately stood up and bowed his head respectfully, saying, "Master, Deacon."
Xing Zhan nodded casually and said, "Sit down."
Then, he looked at Wang Xu and said, "I haven't thanked Young Master Wang for protecting the people in my Punishment Hall yet."
Wang Xu said: "I just did it casually, no need to thank me."
Xing Zhan could not deny it, and only said: "Xing Yan, I have something to discuss with the Young Sect Master, you go down first."
"yes."
Xing Yan got up and left without saying a word.
Xing He pushed Xing Zhan to the opposite side of Wang Xu, poured him a cup of tea, and then turned and left.
Wang Xu said, "The last time we talked face to face was when your senior sister came to kneel in front of our Sword Sect for her junior sister's sword."
Xing Zhan fiddled with the cup of tea and said, "Yes, I didn't expect to be able to talk with Master Wang. After all, there is a huge difference in status between you and me."
He said, "I'm not surprised. When I first met you, I knew you were capable of this. I just didn't expect it to be like this."
Xing Zhan felt bad when he thought of the scene at that time.
Wang Xu continued, "When I asked her to send someone to pick her up, your senior sister only called you over. I vaguely felt that something was wrong, but now I understand."
He said, "They are extremely stupid. Senior Sister will naturally not hand over her connections to them."
Wang Xu took a sip of tea and said, "Friends? Not really. Those three don't have the ability to become close friends with my junior brother. Well, putting that aside, what is the reason you're risking your life to come to me this time?"
Xing Zhan asked, "Does the Sword Sect have any information about that person?"
Wangxu put away his smile, his expression became serious, and said, "That's not someone you can deal with."
"I know, but we must deal with it, even if it costs us our lives."
He sighed softly and said, "She taught you well, even though she knew it was impossible to do it."
Xing Zhan did not respond to this, but just looked at him calmly.
Wang Xu continued, "Are you so sure that she is innocent?"
"Senior Sister is innocent, aren't you very clear about this?"
Wang Xu fell silent, then shook his head and answered the previous question: "I've never seen him take action, and I don't know his origins."
Xing Zhan was not disappointed and said, "That's fine. I just hope that Young Master Wang will not get involved with those people."
Wang Xu wanted to say that Jian Zong couldn't do it, but in the end he just said, "I can't do it. Besides, do you have anything else to do?"
He paused and said, "I hope the Young Sect Master can keep Xing Yan by his side."
"You don't want him to get involved?"
Xing Zhan said, "Senior Sister persevered for a long time and knew clearly how powerful the enemy was. Therefore, the message she left before leaving was that she didn't want any of us to get involved. However, we can't just protect ourselves, so we can only keep some of our people with us for future use."
Waiting for the next move...that is, sooner or later I will get involved and take revenge.
Upon realizing this, Wang Xu was about to drink his tea when he suddenly realized something was wrong: "Hold on? What do you mean? Did Yue Qiran know that something bad was going to happen to her? Did she also know who attacked her?"
He smiled and said meaningfully, "Young Sect Master, the water here is very deep. Your Sword Sect is not very clean either."
Wangxu looked grim and asked, "What on earth is going on?"
Xing Zhan said in a deep voice: "Senior Sister has been controlled. She was controlled a long time ago."
He shifted his gaze to the window, and after a long while, he returned and asked, "Was it before Lian Qingzhou showed up?"
Xing Zhan's hands froze for a moment, then quickly returned to normal. He said nonchalantly, "I don't know about that."
Wang Xu murmured, "It must be."
"Young Master, can you give me a reason for what you said?"
He said, "The elder once told me that he had been extremely dissatisfied with Yue Qiran for a long time, and he hadn't replaced her because he hadn't found a suitable successor."
Xing Zhan also reacted and sneered, "So the Sword Sect knew all this so long ago."
Wangxu remained silent, not knowing what to say.
After Wang Xu left, Xing He went upstairs and looked at the Hall Master, whispering, "Hall Master, are you sure that Wang Xu will harbor resentment towards those people from the Sword Sect because of today's conversation?"
Xing Zhan stroked the teacup, his tone slightly grim. "Sowing discord is not something that can be accomplished in one go. Talk to Xing Yan more often; he knows what to do."
"Yes, Hall Master."
Xing He retreated again.
Xing Zhan looked at the scenery outside the window, remembered his senior sister's instructions, and drank the tea in one gulp.
Wangxu has a calm and steady personality, but he is too open and honest. It would be a pity not to take advantage of him.
