In the dead of night, Shao Zhengyang couldn't sleep.
Sitting under the moonlight, he seemed to be absorbing the essence of the moonlight, but he was actually absent-minded.
"Why, are you still restless?" Yu Wenshi walked out of the room.
Shao Zhengyang got up quickly: "Master."
Master Yuwen waved his hand and sat down on the stone casually: "What are you worried about?"
Shao Zhengyang thought to himself, how could he not be worried? Such a terrible thing!
When I went to Bixi Valley today, Lu Mingshu directly asked him for an exchange. She handed over the secret method to him, and their Yutai lineage must stand by her unconditionally in the future when conflicts arise.
This doesn't sound like a harsh condition, because Yutai's lineage has long been incompatible with the Zhou family. In the past few years, the Zhou family has become very powerful, and Yutai's lineage has been overwhelmed even more. Even if Lu Mingshu didn't mention it, if she had a conflict with the Zhou family, they would still be on her side. It's just that, she said so, if something happens in the future, they won't be allowed to withdraw.
Even the back road was cut off, which inevitably made Shao Zhengyang uneasy.
Master Yuwen was in a very good mood, and his tone was slightly reproachful: "You, the more you live, the more timid you are, and your courage is not as good as your Junior Sister Lu."
Shao Zhengyang admitted in a low voice: "Master, I am not as good as Junior Sister Lu. Although the Zhou family has shown a state of decay, they are now covering the sky in Jiuyao Palace. Fu Shangqing is in his prime, and Elder Wan Yu is still willing to protect them. In a few years, when Fu Mingtang grows up, the Zhou family may... I really don't have the confidence to suppress them."
"How do you know if you don't try?" Master Yuwen said indifferently, "It's amazing, our master and apprentice just left Jiuyao Palace. With our ability, where is there no place for us?"
Shao Zhengyang muttered and was speechless.
Master Yuwen sighed: "You only see one, not the other. Over the years, Jiuyao Palace has been tossed enough by the Zhou family. In the past, the divisions that were different from each other have become tired recently. Jiuyao Palace Now it's a firecracker that explodes at one o'clock, only an introduction is missing. The first person to get ahead will inevitably pay the greatest price, so no one wants to get ahead."
After a pause, Master Yuwen continued: "Let's talk about Elder Wan Yu, why do you think he acquiesced to the behavior of the Zhou family?"
Shao Zhengyang thought for a while: "For the sake of the younger generation?"
Master Yuwen nodded slowly: "Elder Wan Yu Taishang is also unlucky. Those who are not bad in the sect have almost died, and the rest are currently useless. He may not know that the Zhou family will cause big troubles in the future, but for the sake of the younger generation , I can’t control it. This is the selfishness of a dying person.”
Speaking of this, Master Yuwen smiled: "Actually, isn't Yuan Xi the Supreme Elder? No matter how high the cultivation level is, how can he put aside everything and be free from worries? Even Lu Mingshu came back obediently for her master."
"..."
"Zhou Miaoru may not be stupid." Now that he started, Master Yuwen simply taught his disciples, "Do you think she really doesn't know the consequences of doing this? Leaving aside her ability, there is nothing she can do about it. If it weren't for such efforts to eliminate dissidents, the Zhou family, which is gradually weakening, would definitely not be able to take power again. Now that she is holding on like this, when Fu Mingtang gets ahead, the Zhou family will be able to slowly recover. If you don't hold on, you will lose It will not be so easy to get back the power of her." She was a little contemptuous, "However, she is too arrogant, offending Liu Lin's lineage, the loss outweighs the gain."
Shao Zhengyang was silent for a long time, and said softly: "Is this so-called power really so important?"
Master Yuwen sharpened his gaze: "Are you giving up?"
The previous Shao Zhengyang was not like this. There are quite a few people who say he is utilitarian, let’s just say it is utilitarian, but isn’t this a kind of progress
"It's only been a few years, have you worn out your resolve?" Master Yuwen asked again.
Shao Zhengyang pursed his lips and lowered his head: "Tuer is wrong."
Master Yuwen said coldly: "Look at the life of the Zhou family, and what kind of life our master and apprentice are living. You still don't understand the benefits of power?"
Of course Shao Zhengyang knew that in the past few years, the Zhizhen Institute had never given them a good medicine from Yutai Yimai. However, he felt that this way of living was very tiring.
He remembered that during the daytime, Lu Mingshu was facing the sun, looking at the snow-winged horse soaring in the sky, and said to him: "What is the reason for us to practice swords and martial arts? Isn't it to be happy and at ease? The Zhou family is now It’s very powerful, that’s right, but no matter how high the mountain is, I will split it with a single sword!”
Shao Zhengyang was startled, and suddenly felt a strange feeling, as if he had been enlightened.
What he's worried about isn't actually losing everything he has now, nor is he being discouraged by the blows from the Zhou family, he's just tired of this way.
"Master, I understand."
Seeing his eyes light up, as if he seemed to be alive again, Master Yuwen was stunned. He didn't seem to say anything just now, what did this idiot understand
Shao Zhengyang didn't care what the master was thinking, and said: "Even if Junior Sister Lu wants to deal with the Zhou family, it won't happen overnight. The apprentice should catch up with the cultivation base first. If I can enter the trance earlier, not only will the master be more relaxed, but the Zhou family will be more relaxed." There is also a greater certainty about the matter.”
"Well… "
Shao Zhengyang stood up abruptly: "Master, then I'll go and understand Junior Sister Lu's secret technique first." Then, he clasped his fists together and quickly entered the room.
"..."
After a while, Master Yuwen said to himself: "This kid, did he really realize his epiphany?"
Here the master and apprentice are talking, and over there the master and apprentice are also talking.
"Ming Shu." Liu Jizhen was practicing his sword under the moonlight, when he suddenly saw Lu Mingshu standing aside and watching, he stopped his sword moves and beckoned.
Lu Mingshu walked over, handed over the tea in his hand, and said sincerely: "Master, you are really talented. Without profound strength, your sword moves are still sharp."
Liu Jizhen didn't take her words seriously, and just smiled: "Is this also called sharpness? It's just a trick." After finishing speaking, he asked, "What did you tell Brother Shao today? When he left God does not keep his house.”
"I said two things."
"Oh?"
"First thing, I told Brother Shao about the secret technique."
Liu Jizhen nodded and raised his teacup: "Alright, although that kid is a bit tactful, his nature is not bad."
"Second, I made a request to him, asking Yutai's lineage to help me bring down the Zhou family."
Liu Jizhen spit out the tea he just drank: "What did you say?"
Lu Mingshu repeated earnestly: "I said, please help me to bring down the Zhou family from the Yutai family."
"You..." Liu Jizhen didn't know what to say, "Didn't I tell you before? The Zhou family is very powerful, so don't confront me directly."
Lu Mingshu didn't back down: "Master, I've thought about it, and this matter is not impossible. Of course I'm weak against Zhou's family alone, but what if I unite with other people?"
"Even if there are Yutai and Liulin, it's hard to say..."
"More than that, we can also win over the Taifu lineage. The Jinmen lineage, Mr. Tan and I have a very good relationship..." Lu Mingshu counted them one by one, "Senior brother Shao came here today and gave me a hint. I think, the next ones Definitely coming too."
