An accident disrupted Yunnie's plan.
Here's the thing.
The Star Picking Contest has entered its later stages, and the competition is getting fiercer.
Judging from the experience that the First Sect Competition took a month, the Star Picking Competition would take at least another twenty days to conclude.
Yun Nie and Qu Yu haven't found any trace of Cao's descendants for a long time.
But Yun Nie knew what was going on because his master took action.
Sometimes Sang Yue was neither in the square nor in the Yunzhou. He quietly integrated into Penglai Island, searching for traces of Cao's descendants.
The middle-aged man was called Cao Guiren, and he was the best at hiding and escaping among the surviving tribesmen.
Seeing the remaining members of the tribe being slaughtered silently, Cao Guiren was so frightened that he almost went crazy, thinking that his own breathing might stop in the next moment.
His eyes were bloodshot and he dared not make a sound.
Sang Yue was just three feet away from him, pacing leisurely, smiling, without a speck of blood or dust on his face:
"You are good at hiding, but what's the use? The grudge between our clans has been settled. If you want revenge, just look for me. I am not such a petty person. Killing you is enough. But you should never, ever touch my disciples."
If you don't remove the roots of the grass, it will grow again in the spring breeze.
In order to avoid further implicating his disciples, Sang Yue had no choice but to be ruthless this time.
Cao Guiren almost broke his teeth.
Because he didn't dare to seek revenge directly from Sang Yue, he wanted to take revenge on his disciple and make him suffer. As a result, how could someone value his disciple more than himself?
You are unreasonable!
Cao Guiren was filled with resentment. He gritted his teeth and took out all the heirlooms of the Cao family from the ring.
The reason why he has not been discovered now is also because of the magic weapon.
Since Sang Yue values his disciples, and he cannot kill Sang Yue for revenge now.
Then destroy his disciples and reputation, and make him suffer for the rest of his life!
Cao Guiren cut his palm and used his blood to activate the magic weapon, forcibly breaking through Sang Yue's control over this land, and in an instant he arrived above the square.
"I am a descendant of the Linglan Cao clan, and I have a blood feud with the Immortal Lord Yuehua! Today, Sang Yue killed all my compatriots, and I have to pay the blood debt with blood. I ask the Immortal Lords to help me!"
When Sang Yue arrived at the square, there was a lot of noise and everyone looked at him.
He looked at the solemn expression on Immortal Ziyun's face, and saw the injured Qu Yu, and walked over without hesitation.
Standing on a high place, Sang Yue saw at a glance Jia Guiren and Yun Nie on the same stage, fighting fiercely. Yun Nie didn't notice that Sang Yue had arrived at all.
"What happened?" Sang Yue asked as he pressed on Qu Yu's back to heal his wounds.
"Master, that man wants to kill Yun Nie!" Qu Yu said excitedly, "He just came over and slandered your reputation in public. He also wanted you seniors to kill Yun Nie and me to seek justice for him."
Cao Guiren burst into tears and took out the heads of his clansmen as evidence, which caused everyone to start talking.
Naturally, the immortals could not kill Yuehua Immortal Lord's disciples so easily. Seeing that his plan failed, Cao Guiren asked them to protect him and help him escape from Penglai Island, otherwise he would explode on the spot and let everyone be buried with him.
For the sake of the weak disciples present, the immortals had no choice but to agree to him first.
Yun Nie and Qu Yu were so angry at his foul language, and afraid that he would really escape, they took the initiative to stand up and confront him.
Seeing the two people appear, Cao Guiren was reluctant to leave and decided to kill Sang Yue's apprentice first. Then, Qu Yu was injured accidentally.
The immortals present wanted to stop him, but Yun Nie pushed Qu Yu away and signed a life and death agreement with Cao Guiren.
Once the death warrant was signed, neither of them could commit suicide and could only die at the hands of the other.
If an outsider forcibly intervenes and kills someone, that person will be retaliated by the oath.
After hearing this, Sang Yue laughed out of anger. He gently removed his hand from Qu Yu's back and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
Although Sang Yue's tone was extremely calm at this moment, Qu Yu was inexplicably a little scared. He nodded and looked at his master worriedly, but did not dare to ask him what to do.
Sang Yue jumped directly off the platform, walked as fast as the wind, with his wide sleeves turning snow, and in a blink of an eye he arrived at the edge of the ring.
As everyone knows, Fairy Yuehua is a beautiful woman with a good temper, kindness and elegance.
However, the smile on his face at this moment looked so cold that people didn't dare to look at it for too long.
When the surroundings became quiet, Yun Nie and Cao Guiren looked at Sang Yue together.
Cao Guiren was shocked at first, then excited. When he realized that he couldn't escape, he went crazy. He laughed heartbreakingly: "Sang Yue came at the right time! Today I will let you see how your most precious disciple died in my hands!"
Yun Nie was half-kneeling on the ground, the blood from his forehead flowing down and blurring his eyes, making his vision blood red.
Master...
Sang Yue smiled slightly, and his voice resounded over the entire square: "Descendants of Linglan Cao's family, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor, but you have repeatedly implicated innocent people. Very good, very good, since you are so disregarding of propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, don't blame me for being merciless."
Sang Yue was warning everyone present not to interfere with what he was going to do next.
What did he do.
On the surface, it seemed that he just called for a chair, sat down leisurely, and watched the changes on the stage like a bystander.
But in fact, the entire arena was already under his control.
The biggest mistake Cao Guiren made was not hiding like a turtle before Sang Yue arrived. He was horrified to find that he had lost control of his body.
Only then did Sang Yue look at Yun Nie and said calmly, "Aren't you going to kill him? Go ahead."
Tiny sounds came to Yunnie's ears from all directions:
"Does this count as meddling? Immortal Monarch Yuehua will suffer the backlash of the life and death agreement."
"What a good master who loves his apprentice. If you want me, I won't do it."
"But Immortal Lord Yuehua killed all the members of the human family and intervened in the life and death. This is too overbearing."
"I also feel that it is not a good idea. The death warrant has been signed. It is against morality to break the oath."
Yun Nie said anxiously: "Master, please don't interfere, I can do it!"
Sang Yue had endured for so long, but his disciple was so stubborn that he could not hold back any longer. He angrily said, "What can you say? You are risking your life and overestimating your own abilities. Do you really need to show off with so many seniors here?!"
Yun Nie said: "But Master, you will suffer backlash."
Sang Yue said unhappily: "Stop worrying about this and that!"
Without giving Yun Nie a chance to continue explaining himself, Sang Yue directly controlled his body and killed Cao Guiren with a sword.
When he took action, Yun Nie lost all his senses, including vision, hearing, and touch, so he had no idea what it felt like to kill Cao Guiren.
He only remembered clearly what it felt like to have Sang Yue control everything.
Yun Nie was a little scared, worried that Sang Yue would get hurt.
I also felt a little soft, knowing that my master was taking care of me.
In fact, he was not afraid of killing at all. He had experienced many more cruel things than this. However, only when he was in front of Sang Yue would he be protected and cared for so carefully and tenderly.
In the end, Yun Nie was forcibly taken back to Yunzhou by Sang Yue. He was unable to see how Cao Guiren died until he recovered his five senses.
After healing, Yun Nie and Qu Yu knelt side by side to reflect on their mistakes: According to what Sang Yue said, they should have kept quiet and let their predecessors handle this matter. They were fools to put themselves in danger for a moment of righteousness!
Qu Yu admitted his mistake quickly. Considering that he was sincere and the mistake he made was relatively minor, Sang Yue let him go first.
When leaving, Qu Yu looked at Yun Nie worriedly.
This stubborn guy will definitely be in trouble later.
In Yunnie's room.
Sang Yue was sitting on the couch and sneered at Yun Nie: "You think you are very capable and you have done nothing wrong, right?"
Yun Nie lowered his head and said slowly, "That person first murdered Master, then slandered Master. He deserves to die."
Seeing that he didn't find the point, Sang Yue crushed the teacup with one hand: "Of course he deserves to die, but isn't this the point? What did I teach you before? You just casually signed a life and death agreement. I think you are tired of living!"
Speaking of the life and death agreement, Yun Nie looked at Sang Yue worriedly. He took a small step forward and tried to grab Sang Yue's sleeve: "Master, are you feeling okay?"
Sang Yue stretched out his finger and pressed it against his forehead, poking Yun Nie so hard that he stepped back repeatedly: "Don't change the subject."
There was no other way, so Yun Nie had to confess: "I wanted to kill him to vent my anger for Master. I was afraid that he would hide in the dark and murder Master after escaping. I was afraid that he would explode and hurt others, which would affect Master's reputation."
Sang Yue's lips trembled as she looked at his frank and self-righteous appearance, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Those eyes were filled with nothing but myself - but the more so, the more wrong it was.
Sang Yue frowned and asked, "Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
Yun Nie: “…I forgot.”
This is the problem. Sang Yue ordered: "From now on, no matter when, where or what happens, you must remember that there is nothing more important than yourself in this world. Always put yourself first!"
Yun Nie hesitated.
Sang Yue was so angry that he grabbed his apprentice, pressed him on the legs, and beat him several times.
"You really want to piss off your master to death, right?"
Yun Nie shook his head: "No!"
Sang Yue: "Then swear."
Yun Nie closed his mouth and eyes tightly, stopped resisting, and lay down softly, making his attitude clear with his actions: You can hit me, but I won’t swear anyway.
Today, the master and disciple had a fight. Sang Yue was determined to teach Yun Nie to put himself first, so he was more ruthless when beating him, and no longer treated him as a playful act as before.
"Do you swear or not?!"
Yun Nie refused to let go and buried his face in the quilt. He refused to give in even after being beaten swollen.
Sang Yue was very tired. He had forcefully intervened in the life and death agreement. Although he had tried his best to be roundabout in order to avoid the backlash from Tianshi, he still sustained some injuries.
He leaned sideways, supporting his forehead with his hand, a hint of fatigue on his face.
Seeing that the slaps stopped coming, Yun Nie quietly opened his red eyes and stole a glance at Sang Yue. After just one glance, he hurriedly hugged Sang Yue and asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm angry at you." Sang Yue rubbed his forehead, feeling helpless at Yun Nie's stubbornness. "You, when will you let Master rest assured?"
That sigh went all the way into Yun Nie's heart, making him extremely anxious.
It was not until this moment, looking at Sang Yue's eyes full of regret, that Yun Nie suddenly realized where he was wrong.
How could he forget that his master would also be worried about him.
"I was wrong, Master." Yun Nie hugged Sang Yue's neck and leaned close to him, "I will never take risks again. Believe me, I signed the death warrant because I really think I can kill him."
However, Sang Yue's anger was not just because of this incident. He said, "Then swear to me and to the heavens that you will always put yourself first in everything from now on."
Yun Nie opened and closed his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
Sang Yue glared at him and tried to push him out of his arms.
Yun Nie finally behaved a little bit in a hurry, hugged Sang Yue tightly, buried his face in the crook of his neck, and said sullenly: "From now on, I will be as important as Master, and I will be in the front... Okay?"
After a while, Sang Yue hugged him, gently rubbing the swollen area, and sighed helplessly: "There's really nothing I can do about you."
