Chapter 59 Chapter 59 "Nonsense, nonsense...
"Nonsense, nonsense!" Blackbeard glared angrily, his hair standing on end and his face flushed, and he shouted loudly.
Li Hanshuang looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "Look, you know that rumors are not to be believed, but why do you believe them when it comes to me?"
Blackbeard's voice suddenly paused.
Everyone was looking at him. He didn't know where he got the courage from. He suddenly snorted and said, "You and I are different! I didn't have any old relationship with the owner of the Demon Island!"
"You don't," Li Hanshuang nodded in agreement. "With your status and ability, you are naturally unworthy of knowing him, so how can there be any old feelings?"
Everyone below laughed secretly, and then quickly pretended that nothing had happened.
Blackbeard's face turned even redder, and he shouted, "There's nothing to be proud of knowing the owner of a demon island like that!"
"There's nothing to be proud of," Li Hanshuang said expressionlessly, "So I didn't mention it, but you insisted on saying it. It seems like you know him better than I do, and you're really proud of it!"
Blackbeard shuddered and turned pale, but he still supported himself on the table and stood up and said, "I didn't mean that!"
"Then what do you mean?" Li Hanshuang looked at him and asked.
"You used to have some connection with the owner of the Demon Island, and now you have met him again to discuss a contract. You meet him frequently, and even serve him as a servant. This is really embarrassing for Penglai!
Who knows if your old love rekindles one day, will you go directly to him? Then what is Penglai?" Blackbeard took a deep breath and finished the whole thing in one breath.
Li Hanshuang nodded: "Do you think I would put Penglai below him?"
Blackbeard stared at Li Hanshuang and said loudly, "That's right! I'm going to ask you a question right now! What are your feelings towards the owner of the Demon Island?"
Li Hanshuang sneered and said without hesitation: "I hate him."
Blackbeard looked at Li Hanshuang sideways, not believing it.
Others were talking about it, but they didn't think it was strange.
Li Qinglian looked at Li Hanshuang with mixed feelings.
Even if all the rumors were false, the friendship between Li Hanshuang and Li Baili was real. He had seen it with his own eyes. He also saw with his own eyes that Li Hanshuang was different after meeting Li Baili.
Those are always true!
But even so, many years ago, Li Baili stabbed Li Hanshuang with a sword. Today, are these people going to force Li Hanshuang to torture Li Baili again?
Will Li Hanshuang agree? On the surface, they are enemies, so there is no reason for him to disagree. Then he will definitely agree. But is he willing? I'm afraid not.
Otherwise, he would have had the chance to take revenge long ago, so why wait until today? But he still had a cover to cover up. After all, the contract was signed by the entire Penglai, so he didn't have to bear the responsibility alone.
Li Qinglian wanted to say something but stopped herself.
He wanted to tell Li Hanshuang about this, but he felt that Li Hanshuang would definitely not have thought of it. He didn't say it now, either because he thought it would be better not to say it, or because he felt that saying it would have no effect. In other words, it was better not to say it.
Li Qinglian stared at Li Hanshuang's face, unable to see any expression. There was really no way to figure out what he was thinking from that face. She slowly looked away and decided not to embarrass herself.
Blackbeard thought about it, and suddenly sneered: "Why don't you lead us to attack the Demon Island now? If you can really fight, I will believe you, and there is nothing else between you and the island owner."
"I vaguely remember saying it before," Li Hanshuang said without any emotion, "Fighting is a waste of money and manpower, and may not lead to victory. I will never agree to such a thing that hurts the enemy by a thousand and loses eight hundred of my own."
Blackbeard slapped the table, as if he had caught him, and sneered, "Isn't it that you still have feelings for him? What else is there to deceive people about?"
Others couldn't help but say, "What kind of lingering feelings are you talking about? Wasn't the Sect Master's attitude very clear in the last meeting? He said it a long time ago! It's not like he changed his mind today!"
"Yes, you were also attending the meeting and listening at that time. Why didn't you say there was a problem then? Why are you suddenly saying there is a problem now? I think you are the one with the problem!?"
"You attended the last meeting and saw it. What's there to lie to, Master? You can say that it's lingering feelings? Are you blind?"
Seeing that he was isolated and helpless, Blackbeard yanked his beard hard, his face flushed and he shouted loudly: "Okay! I said the wrong thing! But I have another suggestion!"
Everyone gradually quieted down.
Li Hanshuang looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "Go ahead."
Blackbeard held his head high and chest puffed out, very confident in his opinion. Even before he opened his mouth, he already showed a look of confidence in victory, and said with a smile: "Since we can't fight now, then peace is the most valuable.
Since harmony is the most important thing, how can we not hold a banquet? If we don't keep in touch, how can we know whether the other party is sincere or false? The more we keep in touch, the stronger the relationship will be!
How about this? I propose that Penglai take the lead, contact everyone, hold a banquet for all to attend, and invite the owner of the Demon Island to bring his demons to participate!
We can learn from each other or share what we have, and try to make contact. If it doesn't work, we can talk about it later.
After all, the contract has been signed and cannot be torn up easily. There will definitely be other contacts in the future. The disciples are still very resistant. If we don’t think of a solution, they will definitely not change their attitude!"
People started discussing.
"sounds good."
“It seems to work!”
"Then do it?"
Finally, everyone looked at Li Hanshuang.
Li Hanshuang heard what they meant and nodded: "Then let's prepare for the banquet from now on!"
After getting the answer, the others looked at Blackbeard, wanting to know if he had any other opinions.
"I'm willing to take responsibility for this matter!" Blackbeard decided.
"Okay." Li Hanshuang had no objection to this.
"I propose," Blackbeard suddenly stared at Li Hanshuang, smiling, "After the Demon Island Master brings his demons to the banquet, he will live in the yard next to yours. What do you think?"
Everyone was shocked.
The Demon Island Master and the Penglai Sect Master are separated by a wall? Isn't this a bit too close? This is too exciting! What if a fight breaks out at night?
If anything happens, people outside won’t be able to react in time!
Li Qinglian took a breath of cold air.
If Li Hanshuang and Li Baili were really separated by only a wall, who knows what would happen!
Since the two of them were arranged to live together, it was impossible for people around them not to pay attention. If something really happened, it would definitely be discovered, and Li Hanshuang's reputation would be ruined!
What a vicious trick! What a deadly method! It hurts others but does not benefit yourself!
"Is that all?" Li Hanshuang asked calmly, as if he had expected it. He looked disdainful and indifferent.
Blackbeard sneered, as if he was looked down upon, and said loudly with a red face, "Of course not only that!
During the banquet, you must always have someone with you, even when you are in the yard! That way, if anything happens, the person following you will naturally find out!
We will also know! Is your statement of hatred true or false? What do you think? "
"Who?" Li Hanshuang asked with his eyes downcast.
Blackbeard was stunned for a moment and looked around.
Everyone around felt that this assignment was extremely dangerous. After all, if Li Hanshuang and Li Baihe really started fighting, the people around them would surely die, and no one was willing to do that.
Blackbeard frowned slowly, feeling surprised.
He didn't expect that things would get so far and he would still be stuck at the last minute. He couldn't help but ask, "Who's willing to come?"
Still no one spoke.
Blackbeard was a little anxious, frowning and saying with red eyes: "Don't be afraid! Since we are attending a banquet, there is no possibility of a fight!
Even if a fight breaks out, there are so many people around that they won't just sit there and watch! There will be people outside to follow them, to ensure there are always people around, and there are a lot of people, so there's nothing to be afraid of!"
Still no one spoke.
Blackbeard slammed the table and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you so timid? One or two! Where is your courage for quarreling?"
People started to murmur in low voices.
"This isn't a quarrel. This is a matter of life and death. We can't decide it so lightly."
"If you don't think there's anything to be afraid of, why don't you go by yourself? If you go by yourself, you don't have to find someone else."
"Yes, there is a solution. If you don't want it and you insist on finding someone else, and they don't want to do it, you can only blame yourself! What's more, if you don't want to do it yourself, how can you expect others to do it? Isn't that too much?"
Blackbeard's face flushed red, and he shouted, "Whoever is willing to go, I will personally pay for it and give him a bottle of nectar!"
After drinking a bottle of nectar, one can gain a hundred years of cultivation. It usually takes a hundred years to get a bottle. The price of a bottle is over a thousand gold coins and the quantity is extremely rare.
Anyone who owns one would want to keep it and use it when their life is running out. They would not sell it, let alone give it to others easily.
So this thing is still very attractive, but it costs a life, which is a bit too much.
Everyone fell silent again and looked at each other, but still no one stood up.
Li Qinglian looked around and felt that no one would compete with him for it. He also thought that the nectar was indeed good. Even if he didn't use it, he could put it in the cave as a decoration. It would look good. It was also expensive enough so as not to lower his worth.
He slowly stood up and said, "I am willing. If everyone has no objection, then let me go."
Blackbeard was stunned for a moment, then frowned.
If possible, he didn't want to choose Li Qinglian, because he felt that Li Qinglian had a special feeling for Li Hanshuang and might show favoritism.
But now there is no one else to choose. If Li Qinglian is not chosen, no one else will stand up. Because they don't know if they will be rejected, which is a waste of time.
Blackbeard thought about it and said, "Okay."
