City Lord's Mansion, back garden.
Master Xingguang faced the young man in front of him. Although he was born in a humble background and had never seen any scenes, he looked a little clumsy everywhere, but he was still neither humble nor overbearing when facing the person who could kill him at any time, but he really wanted to kill him before today. This is indeed not simple.
"To be honest, I admire you quite a bit. You performed well yesterday." Master Starlight stood with his hands behind his back, gentle and calm, clear and elegant, his voice didn't fluctuate at all, and remained on the same level from the beginning to the end, "Silver Moon I know her character, she is more proud than Dong Guixue in her bones, and she has always had a good eye, and the person she can look up to and trust will not be an ordinary person."
Yun Ying said coldly: "So you want to kill me?"
"That's right, killing someone like you is indeed the best choice." Master Starlight's attitude was very calm and he didn't feel any murderous intent: "Because the matter of Yinyue is too involved, in order to ensure the stability of Tianyun City, we We have to do this. The pressure and responsibilities of a city lord are something that ordinary people cannot empathize with, even in normal times, for the sake of the overall situation, we have to make some trade-offs, or even some things against our will, don't we?"
Yun Ying frowned slightly: "The overall situation? What is the overall situation."
"Haven't you figured it out yet? Yinyue went to the wilderness to kill demons by herself, and there was no one to follow and help her. Don't you think the whole thing is very strange?"
Yunying has long been perplexed by this matter.
Xiyun Yinyue was born in such a noble family and is so powerful, almost controlling the power of most of the demon hunters in Tianyun God Realm, how could they not give Xiyun Yinyue a little help, and watched Xiyun Yinyue almost die what? To deal with that kind of powerful character, it would not be too much to add ten or twenty demon hunters.
Yun Ying was somewhat interested: "Why?"
"It's a long story, because it's related to the reputation of the family, and it shouldn't be revealed. But now, it's okay for me to tell you." When Master Xingguang said this, Gujing Wubo's eyes showed sadness for the first time Zhise said, "My younger brother Juechen has been extremely talented since he was a child. He once served as the president of the Demon Hunters Guild. He is a commoner demon hunter who controls the entire Demon Hunters Guild. He has a transcendent status in Tianyun City. There is a boundless person, and there is a daughter who is extremely talented, but it is a pity that in the later stage... he went astray."
Yunying didn't understand.
Xiyun Juechen is also a famous demon hunter master, how could he go astray
"You heard it right, because Juechen has a close relationship with the demons in private, and even has something to do with several massacres in the Tianyun God Realm. The temple has conclusive evidence. When I wanted to investigate him, Juechen seemed to be aware of it. I left the Tianyun God Realm alone, and at that time there were various indications that I had joined the Demon Race."
Yunying was taken aback.
A master demon hunter colluded with the demons and the incident happened, and finally escaped from God's Domain and joined the demons? If this kind of thing is true, Tianyun City should have spread it long ago.
"As for what happened later, it has become an unsolved mystery. Maybe he knew too much, which made the demons think it was a scourge, or he had other disputes with the demons. We only know that in the end he and the demons The demons fought and were killed, this is the cause of the incident."
Yunying felt a little ridiculous.
The wilderness compiled by Master Starlight is too clumsy.
So the real traitor is Silver Moon's father? !
Master Xingguang continued on his own: "Jiechen is my own younger brother, the pride of the Xiyun family, and a world-renowned master of hunting demons. If news of his collusion with the demons gets out, the resulting The sensation and consequences will be devastating. In order to maintain the stability of Tianyun City, our external news is that Juechen chased the demons into a trap and was killed."
Yunying was a little unbelievable.
Master Starlight looked at him: "Please carefully recall some details of your contact with Yinyue."
He still remembered that every time Yinyue thought of her father's death, she was not only filled with hatred, but also filled with great shame. If a demon hunter really died in the process of slaying demons, this is not only nothing to be ashamed of, but it is the highest honor a warrior deserves. Why would Yinyue be so distraught that she would go against the Sky Cloud Code and even the hunter? Demon rule, or even give up his glorious past, desperate for revenge
At that time, Yunying didn't pay much attention to it, but now that he thinks about it carefully, it must be the reason.
Ordinary civilians may not know about this kind of thing, but it is impossible for Yinyue not to know about it, but she does not believe that her father will betray her, and she is even more unwilling to bear this shame, so she is determined to go to the wilderness to investigate clearly and find out who killed her father. Kill the demon, and then announce the result in God's Domain.
The problem now is that the upper echelons of God's Realm may have conclusive evidence of Juechen's collusion with the demons. This is already a certainty, and it is impossible for Yinyue to whitewash her father.
Therefore, she must not be allowed to bring any news back!
Otherwise it will only make things worse!
Sky Cloud City didn't even announce to the public that Yin Yue went to the wilderness in violation of the witcher's rules, so up to now, most people in Sky Cloud City thought that Yin Yue was just practicing in seclusion or taking part in training in a certain place.
Yun Ying's return is undoubtedly full of instability, in order to prevent some bad news from leaking, so kill it! This explanation seems to make some sense, but I always feel that something is wrong.
"I can see that you are really smart and talented. What you lack is experience, tempering, and proper guidance." Master Starlight showed a sincere look: "Would you like to come to work under me? Yours, I would like to give you Yunxingguang, and I can even give you more. I am willing to train you with all my strength so that you can become the best demon hunter in this city."
At this moment, I have to say that Yunying's heart was moved.
Can he not be moved
This elder standing in front of him with a peaceful and wise face is recognized as the number one demon hunter in Tianyun God Realm, and he single-handedly cultivated such a young talent as Dong Guixue. Yunying is also a human being, he also longs for power, and he also longs for ability!
But a few people flashed in Yunying's mind, Liulifeng, Xiyun Yinyue, and Lao Jing.
Is this elder who is very friendly and trustworthy, really trustworthy
Yun Ying grew up in the wilderness, and has never experienced any intrigues, but he has seen too much of the naked ugliness and inferiority of human nature.
All appearances should not be trusted.
Even though Master Xingguang didn't do it, Liu Liufeng ended up so miserable, but he still needs to take the main responsibility. Yunying can never do something like destroying a group of devout believers without blinking his eyes.
"I'm already tired of these messy things. My greatest ideal is to be an ordinary person who can live my life peacefully and peacefully. So I appreciate the kindness of the city lord. I have an agreement with the commander-in-chief Beichen to work for him for a period of time." Time, and I will be free in the future.”
Master Starlight nodded slowly, wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes, and said with a soft sigh: "It's not a good thing for young people to pursue ease. Fate. But I respect your decision, but if one day, you are willing to change your mind, the gate of the City Lord's Mansion is always open for you."
Yunying was slightly moved.
At this moment, I was really touched.
Starlight City is more than 10,000 people, so noble and great in the eyes of the city residents, it is simply the patron saint of Tianyun City. It is unimaginable for such a small person like Yunying to invite him with such open-mindedness and patience.
However, just because the Starlight City Master is too good at buying people's hearts and too smart, Yunying feels a little scared instead. This kind of fear is different from the previous fear of power. The comparison of power is often very intuitive. Who is strong and who is weak, how much stronger, how weak, It is clear at a glance. However, the gap in wisdom is always vague and unknown. When Yunying faced the elder, it was like facing the sea and the vast ocean. How many ravines.
Yunying was worried that following the City Lord of Starlight, he would be assimilated and brainwashed by him in a short time, and eventually become a loyal dog in the hands of the City Lord.
Master Xingguang seemed to think of something again: "I have been frank with you about Yinyue, and I hope you can keep this secret, after all, everything we do is for the tens of thousands of people in Sky Cloud City. Although there will be occasional sacrifices, it seems to me that it is inevitable and very necessary to exchange as little sacrifice as possible for as much prosperity and peace as possible.”
Of course Yunying didn't want to cause trouble for herself: "I won't tell anyone."
When Bei Chenxi found Yunying, she prepared to take Yunying away. As she walked, she asked him, "What did that old fox tell you?"
Yunying just briefly said that Master Xingguang wanted him to come and work for the City Lord's Mansion, and Bei Chenxi's face, which was whiter than paper, suddenly darkened: "This guy is really not a good guy! Don't forget, you owe him With the debts of the Beichen family, I want to leave before paying off!"
Master Starlight stood alone in the garden.
At this time, footsteps approached slowly, and Dong Guixue came to Master Xingguang. He bent down very humbly and asked, "Master, the student has a question."
"You want to ask why you let Yunying go and why you try to win him over?"
"Even if Yunying is protected by that old man Bei Chentian, I still have a way to get around and deal with him, but it's not worth the deterioration of the relationship with Beichen's family for Yunying's sake. The best way to deal with an enemy is to make him a friend."
Dong Guixue was a little unconvinced.
friend? Is even a humble and inferior person like Yunying worthy
Master Xingguang felt the dissatisfaction of his apprentice: "I have told you many times, never underestimate anyone, and never underestimate anyone's potential. In my opinion, Yunying's potential is no better than Tianyun City's. Anyone who is inferior to him is just born humble and has no one to teach. From today on, you are not allowed to trouble him again."
Dong Guixue frowned tightly and finally said in a low voice: "Obey!"
