Li Yuebai flicked the time axis, and quickly adjusted the time to three years later.
"Master, the fairy lord actually... actually listened to slander and was on guard against you in every possible way. It's really..." Jiang Shaoying stood in the study with resentment and helplessness all over his face.
He still looks like a teenager, but his expression is no longer as lively as before, but a lot more helpless.
Mu Qingning leaned over the desk, holding a pen and writing slowly without even a sigh.
Mrs. Ji resented that Mu Qingning did not recall Yu Tianliu back then, but recommended Yu Tianliu as the fairy lord, and even rejected Yu Tianliu from the mountain gate... If it was not like this, how could she marry Yu Tianjiu whom she did not love? ? After becoming the wife of the fairy master, she also worried that Yu Tianji relied too much on Mu Qingning, so that Mu Qingning had too much power in his hands, and even threatened the status of the Ji family. In other words, slandering Mu Qingning in every possible way, no matter how much Yu Tianji trusts Mu Qingning, and listens to Mu Qingning too much, it is inevitable that he will have a grudge.
"Shaoying, stop talking, and send this letter to the Immortal Master." Mu Qingning wrote a letter and handed it to the disciple, saying gently.
"It's useless, the Immortal Lord doesn't know how to read it, and he won't open your letter at all." Jiang Shaoying said angrily, but she didn't dare to disobey Master's order, so she took the letter and walked out.
"Jiang Shaoying is the hero of this work." The system finally announced a fact.
"Huh?" Li Yuebai was still immersed in the heavy plot, and when he heard this sentence, he was stunned: "System, why did you tell me this fact now."
"Because it's not important, your role and the male protagonist are just an ordinary teacher-student relationship." The system explained: "Mu Qingning has always been the white moonlight in Jiang Shaoying's heart. To someone as good as Mu Qingning."
"What is the role of Yu Tianji in the whole work?"
"It's just a trick." The system replied.
"..."
During the period when Yu Tianji listened to the slander and alienated Mu Qingning, Yu Tianliu, with the help of Su Xu, unexpectedly found a way to attack Kunlun again.
The reason why Yu Tianliu was unable to attack Kunlun was because there were not enough monks under his command, and Jiuli was desolate, so he couldn't recruit new subordinates. Unexpectedly, God gave him a good opportunity - marriage.
There is a Juling fairy mountain in the east. The immortal master Wei has always been friends with the Kunlun Yu family, and the immortal master Wei has always believed that Yu Tianliu acts impulsively and cruelly, and should not be close friends. On the contrary, he has more eyes on the cowardly and kind Yu Tianji. After Yu Tianji ascended to the position of Immortal Master and defeated the Demon Cult, the Immortal Master Wei also publicly expressed his support and recognition for Yu Tianji.
The Immortal Lord Wei was old and passed away within two years. His third son Wei Jingyao assassinated his elder brother and usurped the position of Immortal Lord. Wei Jingyao was ambitious and wanted to annex Kunlun , but because there is no reason for being aboveboard, he dare not make a move.
At this time, Yu Tianliu sent someone to discuss cooperation matters. The two hit it off immediately and secretly made a covenant. Allocating many monks under his command to Yu Tianliu to help him take back Kunlun Fairy Mountain.
When Yu Tianliu approached Kunlun Xianshan with a mighty 20,000 monks, the interior of Kunlun Xianshan was already precarious.
Yu Tianji was originally frail and sickly, and her Taoism was extremely poor. One day, she discovered that Mrs. Ji was communicating with Yu Tianliu in private, and she was so angry that she fell ill in bed. Worried that the matter would be revealed, Mrs. Ji simply dismissed all the waiters and took care of her husband. I also secretly made up my mind that I will not do anything.
At this time, Mu Qingning's authority had been withdrawn, and he was unable to meet Yu Tianji. Yu Tianliu's slogan was - only kill the usurper, not the Kunlun monks who obeyed me. Therefore, the Kunlun monks didn't even have the intention of resisting at all.
Three years after the Demon Cult was repelled, Yu Tianliu once again surrounded Kunlun Fairy Mountain.
"Master... Is there really nothing I can do?" Jiang Shaoying clenched her fists, her nails sank into her palms, dripping with blood.
"The only people Yu Tianliu wants to kill are Yu Tianji and me." Mu Qingning smiled: "I can't let tens of thousands of people in Kunlun risk their lives to protect me."
"So just sit and wait?" Jiang Shaoying said angrily.
Mu Qingning did not answer.
But Li Yuebai guessed his answer - this ending is doomed and cannot be changed, since it cannot be changed, why bother to cause more casualties.
A few days later, Wan Guangliu quietly led several confidant disciples to open the mountain gate and welcome Yu Tianliu into the city.
Yu Tianliu took back the position of Immortal Lord without bloodshed, and Yu Tianji was quietly strangled to death on the bed by Mrs. Ji the night after Yutianliu entered the city, claiming that she died of illness.
Mu Qingning only had time to send his beloved disciples away and let them escape far away so as not to be implicated, but he couldn't escape.
Even Yu Tianliu hesitated for a moment when faced with the question of how to deal with Mu Qingning.
"Mu Qingning once led Kunlun to defeat the Demon Cult." Yu Tianliu said, "If I kill him, how can I convince the public?"
"The Immortal Lord doesn't know something." Su Xu said with a smile: "The difference between a savior and a traitor lies in your thought. You are an Immortal Lord. As long as you say a few more words, even black and white can be reversed day and night, not to mention Is it a person's reputation?"
"People really believe it?" Yu Tianliu was still frowning.
"The Immortal Lord thinks, what is the difference between the character and heart of a cultivator and ordinary people?" Su Xu said: "In the face of one's own life and future, what is it to tell a lie? Some people obeyed the order of the Immortal Lord and said that Mu Qingning is heinous, but as long as the words are touching enough, they can't help but not believe it."
Ever since Yu Tianliu ascended to the position of Immortal Lord, Su Xu, at his behest, has made great efforts to turn black and white.
The first is to burn the history books—there are many monks in Kunlun Xianshan who specialize in recording important events. The records are endless and piled up in different pavilions. Put in prison. All the things that Mu Qingning has done have become only word of mouth, and there is no historical evidence to testify.
Then he recruited a group of monks who were good at flattery, re-edited the history, deliberately exaggerated the matter of Yu Tianliu's expedition to Jiuli, and made it fantastic, as if he was an unborn hero. As for the matter of resisting the Demon Cult, it was also written that Mu Qingning usurped power at the time of Kunlun's crisis, promoted Yu Tianji to the position of Immortal Lord, deliberately did not send anyone to notify Yu Tianliu to come back for reinforcements, and monopolized the credit.
The teenagers on the Kunlun Fairy Mountain originally learned all kinds of immortal classics from their respective teachers, but Yu Tianliu quickly used her identity as the fairy master to add the new history books compiled by her subordinates to the courses of all the teenagers. , strictly ordered them to recite repeatedly, and if they want to complete their studies, they must also take the above content.
Under such a comprehensive implementation, it didn't take long for the wind direction to change completely, and rumors spread everywhere.
"Jun Tianliu made great achievements in the expedition to Jiuli. As expected, he is the only one who deserves the title of Immortal Lord... But Mu Qingning actually seeks power and usurps the throne, it's really abominable!"
"That's right, those who loyally support Lord Tianliu are the real immortal masters with both ability and political integrity. Mu Qingning and his like are nothing but clowns."
"Yeah, the most ridiculous thing is that his attempt to usurp the throne has made no progress. After three years of planning in vain, he still failed miserably. He must be extremely stupid and incompetent. Otherwise, how could he have failed so miserably?"
"The so-called defeating the Demon Cult probably has nothing to do with him at all. If the Immortal Lord had come down to command, the Demon Cult would have been completely wiped out!"
"I belong to the Ji family. Since Mu Qingning came to power, he has tried his best to suppress our family. Fortunately, he fell immediately, otherwise, I really don't know what he has done to me!"
"Mu Qingning supported Yu Tianji as a puppet and ordered Kunlun to make the Yu family fight each other. It is really despicable."
"Hey, have you heard? Then Mu Qingning had an affair with his female disciple! Later, in order to cover up his affair, he quietly killed that female disciple in the battle against the Demon Cult! Then he married Misfortune to Master Wan Guangliu, Peak Master Wan, saying that Master Wan Feng made a mistake in his command... ridiculous! Master Wan Feng is wise and mighty, loyal and unparalleled, how could he do such a thing?"
"Tsk tsk, how naive, how could Mu Qingning have an affair with only one female disciple? I heard that there are no less than a hundred beautiful male and female fairies under him, and they practice the method of harvesting and nourishing with them every day..."
"However, even if Mu Qingning is despicable and shameless, there are still some merits in his art of war and formation, right?" a monk timidly mentioned.
"What about formation techniques, the Immortal Lord has already said that they are all sorcery! They are all made up! It's useless!" Someone immediately said with disdain: "Besides, I also heard that Mu Qingning wrote in his writings , once slandered and slandered the formation method of the old fairy master, saying that the formation method of the old fairy master was wrong."
The former old fairy master of Kunlun Immortal Mountain once made a mistake in setting up the formation. After being pointed out by Mu Qingning, he suddenly realized and praised Mu Qingning endlessly. And this incident has now become one of Mu Qingning's incriminating evidence.
Rumors deliberately promoted by those in power are more terrifying than murderous knives.
Li Yuebai couldn't stand listening anymore, so he changed his observation location and went to Mu Qingning's study.
Yu Tianliu didn't put Mu Qingning in prison, but just put him under house arrest in the study and was not allowed to go out.
Mu Qingning looked as usual, unfazed by favor or humiliation, sitting alone at the desk, even though he knew he was going to die, he was still writing on the case file with the remaining pen and ink.
Li Yuebai leaned forward to look, and saw that the writing on it turned out to be poems, not art of war or maps.
The poem is relaxed, joyful and vigorous, and the paper is full of youthful spirit.
Recalling the portrait I saw when I just crossed over, it showed Mu Qingning and several like-minded brothers, all smiling happily, and then the others passed away one after another... Li Yuebai only felt I was so stuffy that I almost vomited blood again.
He quietly floated behind Mu Qingning, watching him copy poems one after another, secretly hoping that this moment would never end.
However, even this moment of tranquility was quickly broken.
The door of the study room was kicked open fiercely, and dozens of young cultivators in white clothes and long swords rushed in.
"Mu Qingning?" The leading boy asked fiercely.
Mu Qingning raised his head and looked at the boy.
There was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and it was too late to take it back.
"I'm asking if you're Mu Qingning!" The young man blushed a bit, then straightened his thoughts, figured out what he was here for, and said angrily.
"..." Mu Qingning's expression returned to calm, he did not speak, lowered his head, and continued to write.
"We are looking for you." The young man's anger almost burst out of his chest: "It is you who usurped the position of Lord Tianliu? It is you who have done those things that are not as good as animals?"
"It's him. My brother used to be his student, so I recognize him." Another boy roared, "The Immortal Lord is really kind, and he didn't cut you to pieces!"
"Kunlun has gradually declined in the past few years and has been ridiculed by other sects because of this despicable and shameless liar!" A teenager drew out the long sword at his waist with a trembling right hand: "I...I wish I could kill him..."
He fiercely threw the long sword in his hand without hesitation, the long sword cut through Mu Qingning's arm, and blood gushed out.
Seeing the bright red blood in front of their eyes, the teenagers were at a loss for a while.
"... This... the fairy master didn't even order him to be killed. Isn't it good that we are like this?" Someone said weakly.
"Coward, what are you afraid of? The Immortal Master said long ago that no amount of punishment can be too high for such a damned traitor." The leading boy said disdainfully: "It's just right to bleed, let him know the fate of usurping the throne!"
The teenagers were stimulated by the smell of blood. They looked at each other and pulled out their swords one after another.
