When Jian Xiuyun heard the words, the unspoken words were choked in his throat.
He suddenly couldn't say a word, but he hugged Lin Liao Ting tightly with his downcast eyes, letting him cry in his arms.
Until he was so tired that he fell asleep.
Jian Xiuyun helped the sleeping Lin Liaoting to lie down, tucked him in the quilt, moistened his chapped lips with a handkerchief, and then got up.
I don't know if it was because he hadn't rested for too long, but when he stood up, Jian Xiuyun's eyes went dark for a moment.
He raised his hand to support the edge of the bed, and then stood still.
Something seemed to flash through my mind.
There are cries, noise, blood, and a gentle woman.
But it only calmed down in an instant, like a stone thrown into the water, only the waves rose slightly.
Some things have passed for so long that I can't remember them clearly.
The absent-minded eyes slowly returned to calm, Jian Xiuyun turned and walked out.
Therefore, the matter was very important, so Yu Shaozhi sent people to send letters to the leaders of the various factions, inviting them to come to Jiangbei to discuss how to deal with it.
The first one to arrive was Zhu Mingche.
It has been five years since we last met, and Zhu Mingche has changed so much that Jian Xiuyun didn't recognize him when we first met.
At that time, Jian Xiuyun was practicing sword in the courtyard when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
He thought it was Kan Wenxiao, and didn't care, but then he heard, "Elder Jian."
Jian Xiuyun turned around and looked at the person coming.
I saw a slender young man standing not far away, wearing a tea-white gown with a light blue girdle around his waist, his eyes were as calm as water, his demeanor was calm and dignified, and his smile was just right.
He looked so young, but his head was dotted with white hair.
Jian Xiuyun looked at him with his eyes half closed, and it took him a long time to recognize him, and he was surprised: "Mingche?"
Zhu Mingche came over and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for five years, Elder Jian no longer recognizes me."
Jian Xiuyun was stunned, he looked at the half-stranger in front of him, and couldn't find the vivid shadow from him no matter what.
On the contrary, it's kind of like...
Thinking of this, Jian Xiuyun quickly stopped his thoughts, there is no need to bring up the people and things that have passed, it will only increase the sadness.
Jian Xiuyun looked up at his white hair, and said with emotion, "Why do you have more white hair than mine?"
Zhu Mingche touched it with a smile, and said indifferently: "There are too many miscellaneous things, and my head is suddenly graying with worry, but Elder Jian hasn't changed at all. It seems that life is going well."
Jian Xiuyun smiled wryly and led him inside, "If it's not bad, I wouldn't have called you here."
Zhu Mingche's expression became serious when he heard the words, "Elder Jian, Master Yu suddenly summoned us to Jiangbei, but there were only a few words in the letter of reason. What happened?"
Jian Xiuyun sighed, "Let's talk about it after all the heads are here."
"So, what does Master Yu mean?" Just as Yu Shaozhi finished speaking, a sharp and high-pitched voice sounded in the room.
Everyone's eyes fell on the man in an instant.
I saw that man was wearing a dark green satin coat, with golden embroidered auspicious cloud borders exposed inside, fair skin, slender eyebrows, and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but he looked a little cold.
Jian Xiuyun quickly recognized that it was Liu Qi, the current head of Gu Yu Villa.
He is the adopted son of the previous head Liu Jun and Song Jing's younger brother.
After they died in the mirror of nothingness five years ago, Liu Qi took over as the head.
Because Liu Jun had always been with Song Jing before, Jian Xiuyun didn't know him well.
Yu Shaozhi replied: "I have invited all the heads to gather here today, hoping to discuss countermeasures."
"Countermeasures? According to what the head of the school said, we only know that it is called the Scarlet Hibiscus Sect. The head is Xie Zun. We don't know the number of people in the faction or where the faction was established. What countermeasures can we come up with?"
The sharpness in Liu Jun's tone was too obvious.
Even with Yu Shaozhi's temper, his brows were slightly frowned.
Zhu Mingche was sitting beside Liu Qi, playing with a white porcelain vase in his hands. Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became serious, he stopped his movements and smoothed things over with a smile, "It really happened so suddenly that people were caught off guard. I have already sent people to investigate, I believe that in a few days, there will be new clues, and head Liu is not too impatient, this matter is of great importance, naturally we need to discuss it carefully and come up with a perfect plan."
"Heh." Liu Jun sneered, fell back, and sat on the chair boneless, with a cynical smile on his lips.
"Okay, okay, let's discuss it. Since Sect Master Yu called us here, why don't you tell us your opinion first."
Seeing his appearance, Jian Xiuyun was very annoyed, wishing to kick him out.
Yu Shaozhi seemed to know what he was thinking, and gave him a soothing look.
Only then did Jian Xiuyun suppress the fire and continue to sit.
Hearing Yu Shaozhi slowly said: "The Chijin Sect can slaughter the Lin family to this point with a single attack. The number of them is likely to be more than a thousand, and all of them are monks. They almost slaughtered the Lin family, but they left behind the property. For the most part, this shows that his purpose is not, or not entirely, for money, but more like a kind of revenge. The Lin family has a close relationship with Xu Yu, so this time is likely to be a declaration of war against us, and even the entire cultivation world .”
"Papa papa." Liu Jun clapped his hands lazily with a smile on his lips.
"Master Yu is right." Liu Jun said, and then changed the subject, "But I don't quite agree with the last point, a declaration of war on the entire cultivation world?" He sneered, as if he had heard some joke.
"Obviously it's for Xu Yujian." He said, turning his head to look at everyone, "Isn't the Lin family's money bag known to everyone in the cultivation world? What does this have to do with us? Did the Lin family spend any money on us?"
As soon as his voice fell, it also aroused the echo of several people.
"Indeed, the Lin family does have a closer relationship with Xu Yu."
"No matter how you look at it, it's a declaration of war with Xu Yu."
"..."
When Liu Jun saw this, the smile on his face deepened, he looked at Yu Shaozhi, and said casually: "So, is Master Yu asking us to come as a shield for a while?"
Jian Xiuyun couldn't bear it anymore and stood up, "Master Liu, are you so sure that Guyu Mountain Villa will not be threatened by the Chijin Sect? The eight sects are all prosperous, and all are damaged. Now let's take advantage of it. There is still enough power to unite and resist together. If they all shirk like you and sweep the snow before their doors, they will be defeated one by one sooner or later. When the other sects fall, can Gu Yu Villa still be alone? Down, there is no end!"
Liu Jun hadn't been robbed so unceremoniously for a long time, and the smile on his face gradually cooled down.
The corners of his eyes raised slightly, and his voice was cold, "Elder Jian, is there a place for you to talk here?"
