"Have you seen the list of casual cultivators?"
In the attic of the Jin Palace, Shao Pingbo came behind Tai Shuxiong to greet him. Tai Shuxiong turned his back and asked casually.
Shao Pingbo: "Wei Chen saw it."
He was surprised when a list of casual cultivators suddenly appeared, especially when he saw Niu Youdao's name.
I used to feel that my defeat at the hands of Niu Youdao was the result of not being a casual cultivator, but now it seems that God is always fair.
Tai Shuxiong: "Niu Youdao is also on the list. This guy seems to have offended a lot of people. When Piaomiao Pavilion was nominated, twelve people recommended him."
Shao Pingbo's eyes flashed slightly and he said calmly: "If Your Majesty wants to recruit, this is the opportunity."
The so-called opportunity means that the Jin monks in the secret territory of Tiandu can keep Niu Youdao safe, and the deterrence of Jin has an extended effect.
These words were obviously meant to seek talents for Tai Shuxiong, but in fact they pushed Niu Youdao into the abyss.
He knew that Niu Youdao would not agree, and the situation Niu Youdao was currently managing would make it impossible for him to agree. If he did not agree even in the face of death threats, Tai Shuxiong would be completely disappointed. Being capable is also a sin. If you cannot be one of your own, you are an enemy. Tai Shuxiong gave an order. In the secret territory of Tiandu, the Jin monks will not show mercy.
Tai Shuxiong nodded in agreement.
Shao Pingbo then put aside the matter with another sentence, "On the list of casual cultivators, the one I care most about is not Niu Youdao, but Ximen Qingkong."
"Oh?" Tai Shuxiong turned around and looked at him.
Shao Pingbo cupped his hands and said: "Ximen Qingkong is the patron saint around Xuanwei, which makes Xiaoxiao dare not act rashly. Without Ximen Qingkong's deterrence, Xuanwei can no longer do many things freely. It has been a year since Ximen Qingkong left, and the three major figures of Weiguo have Pai will not miss the opportunity, and will definitely take the opportunity to strengthen his control over Xuan Wei, and the nails placed by Wei Chen on Weiguo's side can speed up the progress."
"Yeah!" Tai Shuxiong narrowed his eyes and nodded.
…
"Have something to say?"
Xuan Wei, who was sitting behind the case, finished reviewing the last document and handed it to her subordinates to send away. She glanced at Tang Yi, who was hesitant to speak several times beside her.
Tang Yi felt a little uneasy.
Ximen Qingkong, who stood upright under the pillar with his arms folded and an ancient broad sword on his back, glanced coldly at him.
Xuan Wei: "Sister, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Tang Yi stepped forward and said, "Niu Youdao is also on the list of casual cultivators who have entered the secret realm of Tiandu."
Xuan Wei nodded, "I saw it, what can my sister say?"
Tang Yi: "Didn't my husband want to recruit Niu Youdao? This should be an opportunity." While speaking, he quietly glanced at Ximen Qingkong.
Xuan Wei's bright eyes flickered cunningly and she smiled, "I understand what my sister means. I am afraid that he will be in danger if he enters the secret realm of Tiandu, so I want the people involved in Weiguo or Ximen to help him. It seems that my sister still has feelings for Niu Youdao. of."
Tang Yi said awkwardly: "It's not what my husband thought. After all, he helped the Shangqing Sect, and the Shangqing Sect didn't want to owe him any favors. Besides, if he could really help my husband, why wouldn't he do it this time? It is indeed a recruiting opportunity.”
Xuan Wei thought about it for a while, then finally nodded and said: "Okay! I understand, I will arrange this later. You also have to arrange matters in the Tiandu Secret Realm, so you go back and work first."
Tang Yi bowed slightly and resigned.
After watching Tang Yi's back disappear outside the door, Xuan Wei also stood up and left the table, left the attic through the back door, and strolled among the pavilions and waterside pavilions, looking left and right at the mage guards arranged in Tianwei Mansion.
After entering her room, Xuan Wei screened away the waiting maid. At her signal, the maid closed the door when she left.
Ximen Qingkong looked at the closed door, somewhat surprised. Xuanwei had always avoided having a man and a woman alone in the same room, and did not want to believe those gossips.
Xuan Wei had turned around and stood in front of him, her head raised, and her eyes met with his, "Did you hear what Tang Yi just said?"
Ximen Qingkong: "Don't worry, I will try my best to protect Niu Youdao."
Xuan Wei couldn't help but reached out and grabbed his wrist, "I don't need you to protect him, just protect yourself. As long as nothing happens to you, that's better than anything else. Just listen to what Tang Yi said, don't take it seriously." Really, do you understand?”
Feeling the warmth from her catkins and the heartfelt concern in her words, Ximen Qingkong looked at her with tenderness in his eyes, and slowly reached out to hold her catkins, "Xuanwei, there are some I understand the truth. No matter how good I am in fighting, I can only defeat ten thousand enemies, but Niu Youdao can destroy a country, destroy a city, and protect a country. Cultivation is about talent, and strategizing is also a talent. Compared with him, I am still too simple. His ability is incomparable to mine. Faced with various constraints in the practice world, you need him more. Haven't you always wanted to recruit him? Tang Yi is right, this is indeed an opportunity."
Xuanwei's eyes flashed with inexplicable sadness, "Ximen, why don't you understand? Countries are competing for hegemony. Niu Youdao has been involved in the conflict of interests in the world. The twelve heads of the family pushed him into the secret realm of Tiandu, which is to put him in Death! The three major sects sent you to the secret realm of Tiandu with evil intentions. They have no good intentions. Once you enter the secret realm of Tiandu, you will be alone. Anything can happen. You need to be careful and watch out for them. If you get involved with Niu Youdao again The consequences would be disastrous!"
"Ximen, I have my own sense of what to do. Without it, the sky will not fall. You must listen to me this time, and you must promise me! Ximen, you said you would protect me for the rest of your life. You can't break your promise. You must You have to come back alive and well, you don’t need to worry about the rest, do you hear me, I..."
Before he finished speaking, Ximen Qingkong suddenly blocked his mouth with a loud squeak.
Ximen Qingkong suddenly hugged her tightly and hungrily pressed on her lips. His hands had no other way to express his feelings except endless caressing.
Xuan Wei subconsciously resisted and pushed twice, but failed to push him away. Finally, she ignited herself and hugged him, as if she was afraid that he would never come back, so she responded fiercely.
It seemed that only by completely merging together could they express each other's feelings at this time. The two finally fell on the couch, and the atmosphere in the room was so intense that even the heavens would be jealous.
When her snow-white chest was slightly exposed to the air, she felt the chill. Xuan Wei, who was squinting and panting, suddenly opened her eyes, seemed to wake up, and suddenly tried her best to flip Ximen Qingkong to the side.
Xia Fei's Xuan Wei hurriedly got up and hurriedly arranged her messy clothes that had been torn apart, "Ximen, we can't do this."
Ximen Qingkong came behind her again, hugged her with his arms, kissed her white neck, breathing quickly, "Xuanwei, do you know why I stay here and who I am for? Everyone in the world knows it. , I can die for you!"
Xuan Wei struggled to free his entangled arms, turned around and left his arms, quickly adjusted her clothes, raised her hand to hold the hairpin on her head, then quickly opened the door and walked out.
As soon as the door opened, it seemed as if no light could be seen. Ximen Qingkong quickly woke up from his confusion and confusion, and shame flashed on his face.
Xuan Wei did not leave, but stood quietly under the eaves waiting for him, pain flashed in her eyes.
Ximen Qingkong walked out slowly, stood beside her, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I just..."
Xuan Wei shook her head: "There is nothing I'm sorry for. It's me who's sorry. You were supposed to fly to the sky and watch the storm with a smile. It's me who was too selfish and took advantage of your feelings for me to tie you here. You can do anything to me." , I am willing to do so, but not now, I am a married woman."
Ximen Qingkong: "It's my wish not to use him. He has been dead for so many years."
Xuan Wei: "That's why I can't do it even more. I'm a widow and you are the number one master on the elixir list. I can't let you bear the stigma of adultery with a widow."
Ximen Qingkong: "Danbang is a joke!"
Xuan Wei: "But in my heart, you will always be the number one! I have wronged you very much, and I can no longer let you bear what you shouldn't bear. Ximen, there are some bottom lines that cannot be crossed. Once the boundary is crossed, it becomes complacency. . Simon, you should know my thoughts and the responsibilities I shoulder. It’s not possible now. Otherwise, how will the people of Weiguo view you and me? How can we be together despite being criticized by thousands of people? "
Ximen Qingkong: "You have shouldered too much. You have tried your best and have not sorry to anyone. There are some things that you do not need to bear as a woman. If you let go, someone will naturally bear it. Come with me and stay away from the grudges here. Resentment, right and wrong.”
Xuan Wei turned to face him, "Promise me, don't worry about anything else when you enter the Tiandu Secret Realm. All you have to do is protect yourself and come back alive. I, Xuan Wei, am here waiting for you to come back! I, Xuan Wei, I also promise you that as long as you can come back safely, I will immediately start to properly hand over the things at hand. Once this is done, I will never owe anyone else. I will fly away with you and be your woman! Between you and me Be upright, no need to be sneaky!”
Ximen Qingkong was refreshed, his eyes were shining, and his heart was ecstatic. Not only did he not complain about being dragged into the secret realm of Tiandu, but he was grateful to those people.
After so many years, I finally waited for this woman to relent, and finally waited for this woman's promise, and said loudly: "Okay! I promise you, wait until I come back!"
…
"Do you really want to enter the Tiandu Secret Realm?"
Tang Yi frowned and asked Wei Duo at the next station.
She returned to the sect from Tianwei Mansion, and the candidates recommended by the sect to participate in the Tiandu Secret Realm also came out. Everyone kept silent, but Wei Duo volunteered to participate.
Originally, judging from Xuan Wei's face, the last list reported by Weiguo did not include anyone who went to the Qing Sect. However, the last list was rejected by Piaomiao Pavilion.
The list reported by Weiguo needs to be re-drafted. This time we can no longer fool ourselves, and a group of elite monks must be reported.
It is impossible for the three major sects of the Wei Kingdom to throw all their elite disciples into the Tiandu Secret Realm. The quotas reported must naturally be shared by the entire Wei Kingdom's cultivation sects.
Also for Xuan Wei's sake, the Shangqing Sect only gave one person to the Shangqing Sect and let the Shangqing Sect choose and submit the report.
Everyone knows that the Tiandu Secret Realm is cruel and dangerous. The Shangqing Sect simply does not have the power to keep its disciples safe in the Tiandu Secret Realm. There is no difference between who is allowed to go and who is allowed to die. It is a difficult decision to choose who to participate.
But in this dilemma, Wei Duo took the initiative to stand up and expressed his willingness to go.
