Chapter 595: A Change of Seasons
"impossible."
Ruan Wei flatly refused with three words, and she felt a sense of foreboding in her heart, and this premonition was overwhelming.
The reason for the bad situation is also very simple.
Because they are right.
If Ruan Wei were in a different position, she would have made the same or even more extreme demands as Ji Zhen. Hidden dangers must be managed; this was a consensus shared by everyone.
Tongzhou doesn't want to anger Penglai, but Penglai doesn't want to start a war either.
This is a question of which side has a more resolute attitude. Because Ruan Wei is willing to risk her life, she was able to gain the upper hand in the initial negotiations.
But Jizhen’s suggestion was just so... just right.
It was so appropriate that Ruan Wei couldn't say anything wrong with this method except that it didn't meet her own expectations.
Abbot Jizhen clasped his hands together, but said aggressively, "I don't understand why this is wrong."
"If I say no, it means no."
When people are not in the right, their voices will unconsciously rise. Ruan Wei was already frowning fiercely.
Ji Zhen continued to pursue the matter, saying, "We are not dissuading Donor Chi from continuing to call himself a spirit. It's just that Penglai is so remote, and everyone in Penglai is his teacher and fellow disciple, so the suspicion of shielding him is undeniable. For the sake of both parties' innocence, and for our peace of mind, it's best for him to stay in Tongzhou."
Yuanyin was very supportive: "Yes! This is perfect!"
He coughed lightly, facing Ruan Wei, and put on the airs of a great uncle: "Ruan Wei, in this world, it is impossible for everything to go as you wish. We have already relented."
yes.
They had never raised Chi Jin, so they had no way of understanding Chi Jin's character. They were as confident in Chi Jin's safety as the Penglai Immortal Sect.
Yuanyin said, "We acknowledge that he has half Eldar blood. Ruan Wei, you're a smart person, and you know that we have to be wary of the other half of him."
There is no solution to this problem.
The original compromise was because Ruan Wei's attitude was too tough, and Tongzhou had no better response plan. But now it is different. The plan proposed by Jizhen is feasible and credible. Tongzhou has no reason not to try this plan.
Ruan Wei was speechless for a moment.
She is on the emotional side, while Jizhen is on the logical side. Both sides hold their own opinions, and it is difficult to tell.
When Chao Jian saw this, he immediately hit Feng Wuya's waist quietly.
Go ahead, big brother!
Some things are not suitable for smart people like Ruan Wei and Chao Jian to do, and should be left to some reckless people to do.
"Weiwei said no, so that's no."
Feng Wuya took a step forward, and the Lingyuan sword at his waist made a clanging sound, and it was unsheathed in an instant. The sword light was as white as frost, and the faces of those present turned pale.
"What are you guarding against?"
The vowels are pronounced rapidly.
Feng Wuya said, "I'm asking you what you should be on guard against?"
He glared at everyone coldly. His usual peaceful smile was now frozen with frost. He opened his thin lips slightly and said, "My disciple doesn't recognize Yu Qunqing, but you don't believe it. My disciple wants to go home, but you won't let him."
"It's not like there haven't been half-demons in the past. Don't think I don't know about those things just because I don't go out much! Did the Wanjian Sect ever accept a half-demon as its direct descendant? Did they just lock him up in a forbidden area after discovering him, and not kill him? Did they even let him die of old age?"
The matter Feng Wuya mentioned was very secretive. The Wanjian Sect kept it a secret very well and only communicated it among the heads of individual sects in Tongzhou. The other younger heads, such as Yuehua, didn't know about it at all.
But what happened will leave traces. If there are traces, they will be known during the audience, and the Penglai Immortal Sect will know.
Before Chi Jin's identity was exposed, the Penglai Immortal Sect had already made many preparations for him.
Chao Jian and Feng Wuya exchanged glances, and then he slowly glanced at another person.
As brothers, we have some tacit understanding.
Feng Wuya turned his head, stared at one person and said, "Cen Linxi, you go ahead and talk."
"Did your Wanjian Sect's rule of beheading demons on sight come into being after this person?"
Cen Linxi was silent for a moment before he looked up at Feng Wuya and replied in a low voice, "Yes, after the death of the one in the forbidden area, the leader of that time established this law of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect."
"That's it!"
Feng Wuya sneered: "Your Wanjian Sect can take the people back and hide them, but why can't our Penglai Immortal Sect do the same?"
"That's different." Cen Linxi frowned and said matter-of-factly, "Back then, that person's background wasn't known... So many people know about it now, and it wasn't during the war."
He knew that Feng Wuya was angry at the moment and he shouldn't continue talking.
Of course, Cen Linxi did not agree with Abbot Jizhen's aggressive attitude towards Chi Jin, but he could not help but explain something for his own master.
Cen Linxi is actually very different from the leader of the Wanjian Sect. He practices the free and easy way and is very open-minded about Chi Jin's matter. In addition, with his family background, he doesn't care much about half-demons.
The Wanjian Sect is the Wanjian Sect, and Cen Linxi is Cen Linxi.
“…”
Feng Wuya glared at him: "They are all excuses."
Cen Linxi opened his mouth, then closed it again. When he spoke again, he said, "...I'll listen to you."
Chao Jian gave Cen Linxi a point in his heart. Not bad, he has the potential to be our Penglai son-in-law.
"?"
Yuehua was confused: "Huh?"
No, what happened? Brother Feng, did you put a curse on Brother Cen?
The stubborn donkey actually stopped being stubborn, and the sky fell and the earth cracked.
The others were also shocked. They had heard that the three of them had traveled together before, but they had never heard that the two of them had such a close relationship. During the Ten Directions Competition, Cen Linxi didn't even bother to do something like this!
The Wandan Valley leader glanced back and forth between Feng Wuya and Cen Linxi. He opened and closed his mouth, then said, "I'll listen to you, too."
Wandan Valley follows the footsteps of Wanjian Sect. Cen Linxi listens to Feng Wuya, so he also listens to Feng Wuya.
Yuanyin glared at him and cursed in a low voice: "You're a fence-sitter!"
He glanced at Cen Linxi quietly, muttering softly, "I'm truly impressed. How come the Wanjian Sect isn't as strong as the Penglai Immortal Sect?"
Cen Linxi heard it clearly, but he didn't want to be alone, so he behaved himself.
Feng Wuya snorted coldly. He didn't want to vent his anger on others, so he didn't say anything else.
Yuehua glanced at Jizhen, who was about to speak. Her eyes rolled around, and suddenly they lit up. She said, "Jizhen, don't be anxious. Brother Feng, don't get angry either. Just listen to what I have to say, okay?"
Jizhen clenched the Zen stick in his hand, glanced at Yuehua, and received a look from Yuehua that reassured him. He could only sigh and say, "Please."
Feng Wuya didn't say anything, but he didn't stop her either. In the end, he still gave Yuehua some face.
Yuehua smiled, her eyes full of charm: "How about we compromise?"
"Penglai is worried about Tongzhou, and Tongzhou is worried about Penglai. In this case, mutual supervision is necessary. The location can be decided by Penglai. We have no objection to you taking people back, but Penglai should also consider the matter of each of our sects taking turns to send people to look after Chi Jin."
"Brother Feng, would you please consider it?"
Feng Wuya opened his mouth to refuse. Penglai Immortal Sect had been closed to outsiders for many years. As the leader, he naturally did not want to agree to such an unreasonable request: "No——"
"We can discuss it."
Chao Jian pulled Feng Wuya back in time and withdrew a senior brother.
This condition is already at the bottom line of what Tongzhou can accept, so just be content. Chao Jian is not an extreme person, and he does not want to force the neutral party into an enemy.
Chao Jian glanced at Ruan Wei before speaking.
Ruan Wei pursed her lips and said nothing, indicating that she also thought this condition was acceptable.
If Ruan Wei can accept it, the Penglai Immortal Sect can accept it too.
Chao Jian raised his eyes and scanned the crowd. "We'll take the people away first. If you want to send people to Penglai for a short stay regularly, that's fine, but this isn't surveillance. Please be careful with your words and actions."
Surveillance is aimed at unstable factors, but Chi Jin is not one of them, so Chao Jian does not accept this statement.
Penglai expressed their stance. After the Tongzhou people looked at each other, Ji Zhen finally spoke: "Amitabha."
"Sixty years of age, with a change of seasons, we'll choose the person, okay?"
Ruan Wei took a step forward. Her mood had now returned to calm. She raised her eyes and quietly recorded the people on this continent and engraved them in her heart.
Ruan Wei nodded: "Okay."
