Chapter 1139 Falling Out
Tan Lingxiu:
"Hey, Elder He, I don't understand. Why don't you just tell us directly?"
Elder He shook his head.
"Girl, it's only because your grandfather and I have a good relationship, otherwise, I wouldn't be willing to take this job!"
Tan Lingxiu took the opportunity to act nice,
"I know Elder He, you are the best, hehe!"
Elder He:
"For your grandfather's sake, I will explain the whole story to you in detail, so that you can have some experience in the future."
Tan Lingxiu:
"You speak, I'm listening carefully!"
Elder He:
"Do you know why she detonated the talisman in advance?"
Tan Lingxiu:
"Didn't you just say that? She doesn't want to completely break up with you, right?"
Elder He shook his head.
"She doesn't need to be afraid of me, because if that talisman were to explode, even if I don't die, I would be seriously injured. Tell me, at that time, can you still resist them?"
Tan Lingxiu was surprised.
"You, are you kidding? It's just a talisman, how can it be so powerful?"
Elder He:
"How could I encourage others to be more ambitious and destroy my own prestige? In my opinion, the reason why she didn't use more force, besides what I just said, is more importantly, I'm afraid it's because I didn't use more force on Yue Qingyi before, so she retaliated in kind."
Tan Lingxiu murmured,
"Really? But even if that's the case, she's only relying on a talisman to commit the crime. If you can catch her or seriously injure her, she'll be helpless."
"Catch her? Haha!" Elder He laughed, "Didn't you see the move she made when she appeared?"
"Which move?" Tan Lingxiu's eyes suddenly lit up. "Oh, that's right, the way she performed when she appeared on the stage was quite beautiful to watch."
Elder He couldn't help but shook his head again.
"It's more than just beautiful. By doing this, she's telling me in advance not to even think about catching her! With her physical skills, I really don't have the confidence to catch her, at least not in a short time."
Tan Lingxiu was surprised.
"Really? Did she think so from the beginning? Elder He, you are not kidding, right? Does she have such a deep calculation?"
Elder He:
"What else? Did she show off a trick right from the start? Do you think she's that kind of person?"
Tan Lingxiu thought about it and had to admit,
"It seems not."
Elder He continued:
"What's the name of that scheming woman? Xia something like Lan, right? Having said that, if you didn't have extraordinary experience and wisdom, how could you have seen through Xia's schemes so quickly?"
Tan Lingxiu could only nod.
"Indeed, that woman said that. When I heard it, I just thought her words were inspiring. I didn't expect she had such a deep meaning! Women like this are the most hateful. They talk about righteousness, but let others take the lead. Ugh! Fortunately, I don't have such a fellow disciple!"
Elder He laughed in his heart, thinking that he might have it, but he just had never shown it to you.
"It's just a little cleverness, not worthy of being in a refined place."
But Tan Lingxiu still had some questions.
"But, Elder, why did you accept her as your disciple?"
Elder He:
"Did I say I would accept her as my disciple? No, right? I invited her to join our sect. How could I have the nerve to be her master if she could injure me? If she joins, she should at least be a deacon, to supervise people like you, that would be best!"
Tan Lingxiu was not happy to hear this.
"What you said means that I, Tan Lingxiu, am definitely worse than her and need her to take care of me?"
Elder He smiled.
"If you don't like it, then neither do they. Forget it, I won't say anything more."
The four of them walked in silence for a while, but Tan Lingxiu couldn't hold back any longer.
"You think so highly of her? Is she incredibly powerful? Can she fight against enemies of higher levels?"
Elder He:
"Fighting an enemy of a higher rank—that's something few people can truly accomplish, but that's not the main point. The main point is a long story, haha! You know, from the beginning to the end, our various reactions should have been within her expectations."
Tan Lingxiu was shocked and looked disbelieving.
"Elder He, what you said is too absurd!"
Elder He said slowly,
"Do you still remember what her first words were?"
"The first sentence?" Tan Lingxiu recalled. "What did it say? Some people are here, and some aren't?"
Elder He smiled and said:
"Exactly. With that said, she's definitely right. No matter how we respond, as long as we consider ourselves decent, as long as I still have some dignity, I have to admit that we're in the wrong, even if I deny it.
Then, she would definitely have a slight advantage. People who are unreasonable, no matter how loud they are, always have a guilty conscience. In this way, wouldn't she be able to take advantage?
For example, if she had directly asked if your grandfather would take revenge later, under normal circumstances, how could I have answered her? Whatever others think is none of my business? But after what I said before, how could I still have the nerve to fool her? Wouldn't that make me a scoundrel? Only someone from the Tianxiang Sect could do that!
Tan Lingxiu murmured,
"Is that so?"
Elder He:
"Many of her words had intentions, including the fact that she shouted out the word 'divine talisman' as soon as she made a move, which could affect people's state of mind! This woman is really amazing! She doesn't look very old, and I've never heard of her before. I wonder where she came from."
Tan Lingxiu sniffed, feeling rather sour.
"He does seem quite impressive, but after all, Elder, you shouldn't just recruit someone to join our sect without asking any questions, right?"
Elder He smiled.
"Why would I not ask for the truth? At least I know that she had no ill will towards our sect from the beginning, at least she had no intention of becoming our enemy."
Tan Lingxiu:
"How do you know that?"
"well!"
Elder He sighed again, "Don't you think about what the consequences would be if she instigated the Spirit Sword Sect to start a war with us?"
"That……"
Tan Lingxiu suddenly thought of the blood explosion talisman. Although it seemed to be insignificant in power, that was only for the elders. If it was used against them...
Elder He:
"Have you thought of it? If she suddenly used a blood explosion talisman like that in the chaos, I might be able to save your life with my desperate efforts, but the other two disciples would definitely die!"
The two Guangming Sect disciples who had been following silently behind turned pale when they heard this.
Tan Lingxiu was not much better.
"So, so..."
Elder He continued:
"The Sword Sect's cultivation is known for its fierceness, and there's no shortage of courageous disciples. If she insisted on doing this, there would definitely be a way, but she didn't. That's why she didn't intend to do this from the beginning. She's a kind-hearted person. What harm would come from recruiting such a person into our sect?"
"You are the elder, so of course whatever you say is right!"
Tan Lingxiu pouted, looking dissatisfied, but judging from her expression, her words were undoubtedly not in line with her heart.
"She just relied on the power of the Blood Explosion Talisman! She's just lucky."
