Chapter 681: Guardian Heart (Part 1)
The five hall masters exchanged cryptic glances once again, and finally, one of them, Liu Tan, stepped forward and said, "If things are really as Miss Xie and Sun Yingxue say, then Hall Master Yi is indeed wrong in this matter, and Miss Xie's anger is well-deserved."
He said, then changed the subject, his expression darkening slightly. "But no matter what Master Yi did wrong, he is the master of our Guardian Hall. The incident also happened in the Guardian Hall, so it is reasonable for the Guardian Hall to make the judgment."
"You, the guests who are partners and guardians of the Palace, killed our Hall Master in our very place." He glanced at Yi Shaowen's crushed eyeball, frowned fiercely, and continued, "You acted so brutally and cruelly. Don't you think you have any respect for the Palace?"
"We don't take the Guardian Hall seriously?" Fu Yunting raised his eyebrows and smiled. Instead of answering, he asked, "Isn't that the wrong question? Shouldn't I be the one asking, 'Do you, the Guardian Hall, take the future base too lightly?'"
He glanced at Yi Shaowen's body and sneered, "Hall Master Liu also said that Yi Shaowen is the head of the Guardian Hall. This is the Guardian Hall's territory. We are here as guests. My boss has been working in the R&D room for two days and two nights before he was finally able to go back to his room to rest for a while, but he was transferred to this place by your hall master."
"If Mr. Sheng and my boss hadn't sensed something was wrong and informed us immediately, who knows how things would have turned out."
He narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashing in them: "When that time comes, will you be able to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the palace?"
Mo Huaizhi also spoke up, "The boss's residence was prepared by you, the Guardians of the Palace. You also arranged the servants to take care of her daily life. Now, such a mistake has occurred. The Guardians of the Palace must give us an explanation for this matter."
Liu Tan didn't expect to be outmaneuvered by the other party, and his expression was a little ugly: "This was Yi Shaowen's private move, and we were completely unaware of it beforehand."
"So I killed him, is there a problem?" Sheng Shijing interjected, "Or has the Guardian Hall become so overbearing now that you allow your people to harm us but not us to fight back?"
Xie Xihe snapped his fingertips, his expression relaxed. “Originally, we had something important to attend to, and were planning to return to ask the Guardian Hall for an explanation after things were resolved. But since Hall Master Liu has taken the initiative to bring it up, I don’t mind resolving the issue first.”
She smiled and said calmly, "How is the Guardian Hall going to compensate me?"
The four of them asked one question each, which confused the group of hall masters guarding the hall. It took them a while to react.
It was Liu Tan who spoke again, stammering, "What...what compensation? It's true that Yi Shaowen was the one guarding the palace, but you've already killed him. What else do you want? Do you want to hang him up and whip his corpse?"
Xie Xihe: "Yi Shaowen deserved to die. Now that he's dead, the feud between him and me ends here."
"I'm discussing the account between me and the Guardian Hall," Xie Xihe said, slowing down his speech and enunciating each word. "Future Base and the Guardian Hall reached a cooperation agreement to jointly develop the Star Core Project. Future was personally involved, but the Guardian Hall's leader coveted her beauty and plotted against her."
"What do you think of this headline?" She raised her eyes and smiled. With a flick of her hand, a black stone appeared in her hand. She said, "This thing is called Shadow Stone. It's unique to the ancient martial arts world. Its effect is similar to that of a surveillance camera, but the footage it records is more vivid and three-dimensional."
"Would you like to see what happened in this secret room today?"
Xie Xihe said, and without waiting for their answer, she had already input the ancient martial arts power into the shadow stone. She played the video at the time node.
The eerie, bright red blood insects, the terrifying, swarming evil insects that made your scalp tingle, the dense black lines covering Yi Shaowen's face...
Scenes that seemed real flashed by quickly before their eyes, shocking everyone who saw them!
Even the five hall masters couldn't keep their composure. Liu Tan said in disbelief: "This... this... this... Yi Shaowen..."
"The Guardian Temple is an internationally recognized holy place. It has always presented a glorious and positive image and is worshipped and revered by countless people."
"Palace Master, the nine hall masters are of lofty status and attract widespread attention. It's no exaggeration to say they are the spokespersons for justice."
"If the outside world knew that Yi Shaowen, one of the nine masters of the Guardian Hall, was actually such an evil creature, would it affect the image of the Guardian Hall?"
Xie Xihe raised the corners of his lips and asked with a smile: "What do you think?"
The expressions on everyone's faces were beyond description.
Yi Shaowen's situation was beyond their comprehension, but anyone could see that he was full of evil and sinister intent.
If this video were to be released to the outside world, one can imagine how much of a blow it would cause to the prestige of the Guardian Hall!
No, they absolutely couldn't let this happen.
Everyone was shocked, but their expressions immediately softened.
This time, it was the head of the Taishi Hall, who was most familiar with Xie Xihe, who spoke up. He said, "It was indeed our negligence. We didn't realize Yi Shaowen was such an evil creature. We almost implicated Miss Xie. It's a sin, truly a sin."
As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Xie Xihe and said, "I was the one who arranged for Miss Xie to stay here. I cannot shirk my responsibility for what happened. Tai Shi Su apologizes to Miss Xie here."
"I would also like to thank you all for your generosity in exposing Yi Shaowen's true identity and eliminating the hidden danger for the Guardian Hall."
"Miss Xie, please don't take my previous words to heart. If you want any compensation, just tell us. As long as we can protect the temple, we will do our best!"
Xie Xihe was waiting for them here. He scanned the five people one by one and confirmed, "Anything is fine?"
Everyone's eyebrows jumped, and Liu Tan immediately emphasized: "As long as it is within the ability of the guard hall."
Xie Xihe's lips curled up into an amused smile, and he said casually, "I don't lack money, power, reputation, or anything like that. Whatever the Guardian Hall has, I can also create myself."
Everyone was nervous: "So?"
Xie Xihe stopped beating around the bush and stated the main purpose of his trip to protect the temple: "I want to protect the heart."
The secret room fell into a deathly silence. Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at Xie Xihe in disbelief.
I totally couldn't believe she would make such a request, and even suspected that there was something wrong with my ears.
I couldn't help but confirm: "What do you want? Tell me again."
??I fell asleep while trying to coax my daughter to sleep last night. When I woke up it was almost 12 o'clock. I struggled to get up and wrote a chapter. I will update this chapter first and the second chapter will be posted on Monday.
?Good night
