Chapter 517
"Haha, did Xie Shuchun really say that? How did his parents react?" After listening to Yuan Jing's description, Zhai Xiaoqi laughed, holding his stomach.
Zhai Yuanhao, who was lying on the bed recovering from his injuries, also grinned and said, "That's definitely not allowed. The reason why Second Young Master Xie is so arrogant is because of the status of First Young Master Xie in Wushuang Sect. How could his parents really not understand? It's just a means to force First Young Master Xie."
Yuan Jing nodded: "Yes, Fifth Brother is right. Of course, the Xie family couple will not agree. If Xie Shuchun withdraws from the Wushuang Sect, the status of the Xie family will definitely be much lower than before."
Zhai Xiaoliu said in a muffled voice: "If Second Young Master Xie was really murdered, would Xie Shuchun really listen to his parents when he returns and kill the entire family of the person who murdered Second Young Master Xie, just to avenge him?"
Zhai Xiaoqi and Zhai Yuanhao also fell silent and looked at Yuan Jing. This was why Yuan Jing told them about the Xie family affairs in detail, so that they could see the interests at stake. Yuan Jing pursed his lips and whispered, "I think he will do this. You see, no one who was with Second Young Master Xie that day would have a good ending."
Zhai Yuanhao's eyes widened: "Even if they are innocent?"
Yuan Jing: "I can't guarantee this either. It depends on what Mr. Xie does."
Several brothers became depressed because in their opinion Second Young Master Xie was not a good guy. The longer they stayed in the imperial capital, the more evil things they heard about Second Young Master Xie. Going to hell was not a light punishment for such a scum, and he deserved it no matter how he died. To them, especially Zhai Yuanhao, it was simply unimaginable to ask others to pay with blood for such a scum and even involve the lives of innocent people.
In the following days, they paid attention to the affairs of the Xie family like everyone else. Xie Shuchun did not hide his actions at all, and soon the news came out that Xie Shuchun himself did not take action, but his entourage who came back with him went out for a while, and then on the day of the second young master Xie's death, all the lackeys who had been hanging out with him, including their families, lost their lives.
There were only Yuan Jing and Zhai Yuanhao in the room. Yuan Jing looked at Zhai Yuanhao and asked, "Fifth brother, what do you think?"
Zhai Yuanhao couldn't accept this situation. He looked at his eighth brother in confusion: "Little Eight, should those people die?"
Yuan Jing shook his head: "It is not Xie Shuchun's job to decide their life or death. Even if those followers deserved to die, did their families deserve to die? I think Xie Shuchun is also very clear about this, but he obviously doesn't take those people seriously at all. Maybe for him, eliminating his parents' anger and resentment is more important than those innocent lives."
Zhai Yuanhao's worldview was somewhat overturned: "Does everyone think like this after becoming a strong person?"
Yuan Jing sneered, "How is that possible? There is a saying that one kind of rice feeds a hundred kinds of people. This is true for all living beings, and it is also true for warriors. I believe that those strong men are not made from the same mold. There are those who regard ordinary people as ants and do not take human lives seriously. I believe there are also strong men who regard ordinary people as human beings. If you, Fifth Brother, become a strong man one day in the future, will you no longer treat us brothers as brothers? Will you look down on us?"
"Of course not!" Zhai Yuanhao denied without thinking. How could this be possible? Xiao Ba is his eighth brother for life, no matter how high he goes. Thinking of this, he smiled. "I understand what you want to say, Xiao Ba. People are different, and strong people are not the same. I don't want to be a strong person like Xie Shuchun who has no humanity and only strengths and weaknesses."
Yuan Jing nodded: "Yes, but we also need to be careful of strong people like Xie Shuchun. If we offend such a strong person or someone around a strong person, the Zhai family may suffer the same fate."
Zhai Yuanhao shuddered and shouted, "No! I can't let the Zhai family end up in this situation. Xiao Ba, I will work hard so that no one can bully the Zhai family."
Yuan Jing patted his shoulder and said, "Then we have to rely on Fifth Brother to work hard. I believe Fifth Brother will be able to protect our Zhai family in the future."
Zhai Yuanhao nodded vigorously, and when he calmed down, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Yuan Jing on the side, revealing a strange look and said: "Xiao Ba, why did I feel that you were my brother just now and I became your brother?"
Yuan Jing coughed suddenly after hearing this: "What nonsense are you talking about? I actually want to be your brother and hear you call me brother."
"Haha, then wait until next life. No, in next life I will also be your brother, and you won't have this chance."
Yuan Jing rolled his eyes speechlessly. It was not easy for him to be a younger brother, taking so much pains to guide this naive brother.
Fighting is fighting, but Yuan Jing also discovered that Zhai Yuanhao was thinking about this issue carefully. Perhaps this will make him less rash and more cautious in future actions.
In addition to these changes in mentality and cognition, he found that Zhai Yuanhao practiced martial arts more diligently and devoted himself to training as soon as his injuries healed.
Of course, Yuan Jing also tried hard and finally broke through the ninth level of martial artist and successfully advanced to a warrior. Zhai Yuanhao and others wanted to celebrate for Yuan Jing, but Yuan Jing was shameless and firmly disagreed. Duan Linzhi found out about this and laughed at him.
Zhai Yuanhao was also paying attention to the news outside. Because of Xie Shuchun's return, one or two hundred people disappeared in the imperial capital, all because of the idiot Xie Shuhong. Xie Shuchun's actions showed that he didn't care at all what the people in the imperial capital and the royal family thought of him. He didn't even discuss it with the royal guards, and directly ordered the people around him to take people's lives, showing the arrogance of a disciple of a big sect to the fullest.
Yuan Jing was also watching coldly. He thought that in the plot, when Xie Shuchun had people wipe out the entire Zhai family, the situation must have been no different from the current situation. A middle-class family in a small town was not taken seriously by him. So it was wiped out. Even if it was the lives of hundreds of people, in his opinion, it was not as important as a fool like Xie Shuhong.
This time he helped the Zhai family and Zhai Yuanhao avoid a disaster of annihilation, and then he just watched coldly without taking any action, but that doesn't mean he won't do anything in the future.
Xie Shuchun, Yuan Jing kept this man in mind. He couldn't act rashly now, but that didn't mean he couldn't settle accounts with this person in the future. It was just the law of the jungle. When he became stronger than Xie Shuchun, Xie Shuchun would be a weakling in his eyes. Then, let him have a taste of what it felt like to be an ant in the eyes of a strong man.
Although this incident seemed to have nothing to do with the Zhai family, it calmed the children of the Zhai family down a lot, and made them realize that the outside world was very dangerous.
When the competition was over, Zhai Yuanhao, who had been pondering for several days, finally made a decision. He wanted to go with the disciples of Qimumen and he wanted to join Qimumen.
He gained a lot of insights from participating in the competition. Zhai Yuanhao has a heart that wants to become stronger. He is a talented young man in Linyang City, but when he walks out of Linyang City, which is still the imperial capital of Fengyan Kingdom, he finds that he, a talented young man from Linyang City, is nothing outside. This is Fengyan Kingdom, how about in the wider world?
Therefore, if he stayed in Linyang City, or even in the imperial capital of Fengyan Kingdom, he would not be able to catch up with the warriors outside. If he wanted to become stronger, he had to leave Linyang City and Fengyan Kingdom and go to a wider world.
But when he really had to leave, he couldn't bear to leave the Zhai family and his brothers and sisters who practiced martial arts with him every day, nor could he bear to leave his mother and other elders in Linyang City.
"Xiao Ba, what will you do when Brother Duan and Brother Feng return to Xingjian Sect?" Zhai Yuanhao asked Yuan Jing. Anyone with eyes could see how good the relationship between Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi, the Thirteenth Prince, was, but they were about to separate again, and Yuan Jing's qualifications were not good enough to enter Xingjian Sect.
Yuan Jing smiled and said, "Are you worried about me? Don't worry, I will work hard in the next year and strive to enter the Xingjian Sect in the future. Brother Duan told me that I actually have the talent to become an alchemist. Didn't you see that I have been reading books on alchemy in addition to practicing these days?"
Zhai Yuanhao was a little conflicted, but Duan Linzhi had better vision than him. Maybe Xiao Ba really had the qualifications to become an alchemist, which would be good for both him and the Zhai family.
"Then I will wait for you to make pills for me in the future." Zhai Yuanhao encouraged.
Yuan Jing showed him eight teeth: "I will definitely do it."
Zhai Yuanhao fiddled around on the bed for a while, then took out a stack of papers, put them in a box and handed it to Yuan Jing, saying in a low voice: "Xiao Ba, Fifth Brother has something to give you. Keep this box and open it when you return to Linyang City after I leave. There is also a letter I left inside. You will understand when you read the letter."
Yuan Jing was surprised and asked, "Can't we watch it now?"
Zhai Yuanhao shook his head repeatedly: "No, I must go back and take a look, Xiaoba, you have to promise me."
"Aren't you afraid that I might secretly look at it in advance?"
"As long as you promise, Xiaoba, I will believe you."
Seeing Zhai Yuanhao so serious, Yuan Jing had actually guessed what was in the box, which coincided with his purpose, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I promise, I'll wait until we get back to Linyang City to see. From now on, you can venture out without worry. I'm in the Zhai family of Linyang City, and I will try my best to catch up with you."
Zhai Yuanhao finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded vigorously. He would never let the Zhai family be bullied.
Since they had decided to go to Qimumen, Uncle Zhai prepared some personal belongings for Zhai Yuanhao in the imperial capital for him to take with him. The other brothers also took the time to get along with Zhai Yuanhao, as they didn't know when they would see each other again. Yuan Jing also gave him all the Yuanshi he had, so that he would need more Yuanshi when he went outside.
Duan Linzhi also came to say goodbye to Yuan Jing, which made Yuan Jing really unhappy.
Duan Linzhi patted his head and said, "Who told you not to leave with me now? You insisted on staying. Then you can only wait another year or two. I won't be free now."
As a disciple of the Star Sword Sect, he also needs to go back and work hard to improve his status in the Star Sword Sect and gain more say. Then, he can be more relaxed whether taking Yuan Jing over or protecting the Duan royal family and the Zhai family.
This time is different from the last time in the world of immortal cultivation. In this life, they all have concerns behind them, and it is impossible for them to abandon everything and just focus on their own cultivation and training, so they are destined to be more cautious.
"I have these things for you. This is a manor under my name. It's large enough to accommodate the entire Zhai family. And these are two shops under my name. They are in good locations. You can use them to run your own business or let the Zhai family run them. It's up to you. When to move the Zhai family to the imperial capital is up to you. Anyway, my father has already made arrangements, and he won't make things difficult for you and the Zhai family."
Yuan Jing accepted it without hesitation. Whether it was Duan Linzhi's or his, what difference did it make? There was no need for him to be so reserved with his lover.
A smile appeared in Duan Linzhi's eyes. Of course, if other people knew about this situation, they would probably say that Yuan Jing was trying to get close to him on purpose. However, if Yuan Jing was given some time, those people would understand his abilities.
"I'll go back to Linyang City to see what the Zhai family's attitude is. Yuan Hao also left me something. With these, the Zhai family doesn't have to worry for now."
Duan Linzhi handed Yuan Jing another storage bag, which was bulging with things. Yuan Jing scanned the bag with his soul power and saw that it was full of various Yuan plants. It was obvious that they were for him to use to make pills, and even a pill furnace was prepared.
Yuan Jing smiled and said, "If you have anything else to give me, tell me all at once."
Duan Linzhi pinched Yuan Jing's cheek with amusement: "No more, these are all the things I took out as a prince. I guess my father is narrow-minded. My Xingjian Sect is not a wealthy sect. Everyone only knows how to practice swordsmanship and doesn't know how to earn Yuanshi. I think it will change when you come in the future."
