After not seeing each other for more than ten years, this was the first time I sat down with Xie Jingshan and had a quiet chat.
Jiang Yuebai put down the book and briefly shared her experience with Lu Nanzhi with Xie Jingshan. Xie Jingshan also told Jiang Yuebai about his "ups and downs" experience over the years.
Especially the time when they were almost killed in the West Sea when their camp was attacked by the dragons.
"... Jiang Yuebai, I don't know if you can understand, it's the feeling that the person who just told you that he would buy you a drink when he returned home turned into a mutilated corpse in front of you the next moment. It was so sudden, I was not prepared at all, and my mind was really blank at that time."
Jiang Yuebai held the book in both hands, lowered his eyes, and said nothing.
Xie Jingshan sat sideways, looking out the window. "I've been holding it in all this time, but I don't know who to talk to. I really don't understand why the dragon race must fight the human race. Why can't they coexist peacefully?"
Jiang Yuebai turned the pages and his eyes fell on the book, but he couldn't read a single word.
"You just came back from Fulong Sect, didn't you find out the reason?"
Xie Jingshan shook his head blankly, "No, what's the reason?"
Jiang Yuebai put down the book and looked up at Xie Jingshan, "Didn't you see those dragons that were chained, whipped, and nailed with iron nails? Do you have eyes under your feet?"
Xie Jingshan stepped back, not knowing why Jiang Yuebai suddenly got angry.
He scratched his head. “Now that you mention it, I did see it. I didn’t think much about it at the time.”
Jiang Yuebai glanced at him unhappily, "You have no sympathy for those dragons. You think they are common sights, so you naturally don't see them. Many cultivators in the Azure Dragon Realm are like this!"
"The answer to your question is very simple. The dragon race is full of treasures. Because of greed and for profit, the human race wants to enslave and hunt the dragon race. In order to survive, the dragon race has no choice but to resist."
Xie Jingshan frowned, "But the dragons also feed on humans. Besides, every wrong has its perpetrator. The dragons can resist and seek revenge, but they slaughtered indiscriminately before the battle line in the West Sea was established. Too many innocent people died."
Jiang Yuebai took a breath, "Xie Jingshan, how old are you and still so naive? In the face of war, there is no way to distinguish between the innocent and the not innocent. When those cultivators caught dragons, did they distinguish between young dragons and adult dragons?"
"Don't we just capture them when we see them? Who sealed off the Azure Dragon Realm? Who blocked the dragons in the West Sea? And who sent so many people to the West Sea? Are the dragons waiting to die if they don't resist or fight back?"
Xie Jingshan said, "We may not agree with the Fulong Sect's approach, but there is also the Biyou Palace. The Biyou Palace has been trying to negotiate with the dragons and find a way to survive together in the Qinglong Realm. Do these people deserve to be killed by the dragons? And the disciples of the Zhenwu Xianzong, who have never enslaved the dragons, also deserve to die?"
Jiang Yuebai suppressed his anger and said, "Biyou Palace is trying to negotiate peace so that they can herd dragons. They are unwilling to let go. Zhenwu Xianzong did not enslave the dragons, but did Zhenwu Xianzong's disciples massacre dragons for no reason? The scabbards of the two swords behind you, if I am not mistaken, are made of dragon skin and dragon scales."
Xie Jingshan's eyebrows deepened as he stared at Jiang Yuebai. "I was just discussing with you. Why did you bite me? When did your heart completely lean towards the dragon clan? Jiang Yuebai, you are a human, not a dragon."
Jiang Yuebai was suddenly stunned.
Yes, she is a human, not a dragon, why is she angry about this
Moreover, she herself can use materials from the dragon clan to refine weapons. Is she putting herself in Jackie Chan's shoes and feeling the same anger
Jiang Yuebai lowered his eyes and thought.
Why does she care about something that is hard to tell right from wrong
In the past, she always kept a distance from everything that had nothing to do with her. But when did her heart begin to shift and become conflicted
Jiang Yuebai's eyes flickered. Did it start from the demon clan? Or was he already affected since he absorbed Yinglong's blood essence
Even the trace of chaotic energy absorbed from the Nine Dragon Ruins contained a lot of dragon aura, which was also changing her.
Sure enough, there is no free benefit in this world, you always have to pay a price somewhere.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became cold.
Xie Jingshan saw that Jiang Yuebai's fingers were tense and his knuckles were white, so he said quickly, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned this to you. I am also biased."
Jiang Yuebai shook his head slowly, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have gotten angry at you. I apologize. There's something wrong with my state of mind recently. If you hadn't reminded me, this might have affected the formation of the baby."
Xie Jingshan reached into his lapel and fumbled for a long time, took out something, and threw it on the table like trash.
"Take it."
Jiang Yuebai took a look and saw that it was a white shuttle-shaped object with magnificent mountain and river scenery painted on it. Wasn't it Poyunchong
And it’s not the basic version, it’s clearly a customized version, specially painted white and with patterns drawn on it.
Xie Jingshan put his hands on his knees and pointed at Po Yunchong with his chin with a proud look on his face.
"We agreed before we came to the upper realm that I would give one to you and Lu Nanzhi. This is yours. The formalities have been completed. You can go back and register with the Eastern Star Alliance with your identity token."
Jiang Yuebai took Po Yun Chong in his hand and felt that it was better than the one that Da Gouzei had before.
"Really give it to me? How can you be so embarrassed?"
Seeing Jiang Yuebai saying sorry again and taking Po Yunchong away with his hand, Xie Jingshan couldn't help but raise his lips.
"It's just a mere Cloud Breaking Charge. It's nothing. In ten days, a merchant ship from the Zhenwu Immortal Sect will depart from the dock on the west side of Guixu Sea. I've reserved a seat for you. Take this token and you can get on board directly and go straight to the Fulongshan camp."
Xie Jingshan pushed another token in front of Jiang Yuebai. Seeing Jiang Yuebai's happy eyes, he began to shake his legs unconsciously.
"Xie Jingshan, I don't know how to thank you for what you have done. How about we have a sparring match and I'll let you win?"
"Go away, go away. I am a real talent and I may be able to defeat you if I really fight to the death. There is no need for you to give in."
Xie Jingshan shook his legs and waved his hands, raising his chin proudly.
"Then I have a lot of skills collected from the upper realm. Do you want them? Also, do you need dragon bones? I have quite a few too."
Jiang Yuebai tried to take something out, and Xie Jingshan hurriedly stopped him.
"Do you think I'm in need of your little something? I've earned a lot of contribution points in the Zhenwu Immortal Sect, which is enough to exchange for a Heavenly Grade Sword Technique. You don't have to worry about my skills."
Jiang Yuebai stopped, "Xie Jingshan, you always make me owe you money, it's really annoying!"
Xie Jingshan smiled, "I just want you to owe me, otherwise why would you, a heartless person like you, care about my life or death?"
"Okay, I'm going to owe you anyway, so you can find these two things for me."
Jiang Yuebai wrote Taixuan Jingjin and Wannian Han Stalactite on a piece of paper and gave it to Xie Jingshan.
Xie Jingshan stretched out his hand, "You are really rude, let me see... no."
"You can't get it either?" Jiang Yuebai was surprised.
"I have never heard of these two things in the Azure Dragon Realm. They may be from other realms. I really can't do anything about them at the moment. But I can help you find out which realm they are produced in, and I will send you a message when the time comes."
Jiang Yuebai nodded and put away the unfinished book.
"I'm going to the West Sea soon and may stay there for a long time. Will you accompany me to stock up on some goods?"
"Okay, let's go, but everyone in the Fulong Sect knows that you are my maid, so remember to walk behind me."
"roll!"
