Xie Bian became angry from embarrassment: "Go away."
"You don't dare to answer, or can't you deny it?"
"I don't...impossible." Xie Bian found that he couldn't even say the word "like".
"Why is it impossible? When we were brothers and sisters, you liked me and made a lifetime promise with me. Do you still remember the feeling of liking me? Did you think of it just now?"
Xie Bian grabbed Fan Wushi's collar and said ruthlessly, "Don't take advantage of others."
"Elder brother has taught me since I was a child to be honest and frank." Fan Wuxi smiled faintly, "Brother is lying and evading now."
Jie Bian's eyes were red with anxiety: "Stop talking nonsense, let me go!"
"Then you answer me." Fan Wuzhen nailed Xie Bian between his arms, his eyes were full of tyrannical aggression, and he had the aura of not going to the city or withdrawing troops.
These days, Fan Wuzhen has been very cautious and restrained in front of him, and he can be said to be obedient, which also makes him ignore for a moment how vicious and dangerous the person in front of him is.
He shouldn't let his guard down because of the beast's weakness.
The hand holding Fan Wuxi's front was replaced by that hard chest to prevent the distance between the two of them getting closer. He stared at Fan Wuxi: "It's meaningless."
"What is meaningless?"
"I said we're not going back to the way we were, let alone 'like'."
"You're still running away, all I want is a simple answer, do you still like me?" Fan Wuxi grabbed Bian's wrist, "Answer me."
Xie Bian wanted to refute, but he didn't have the confidence to speak up. He was afraid that once he answered, no matter if it was true or false, he would uncontrollably reveal his weakness. The most important thing is "like", "like" is like an orchid floating in the mud, no matter how beautiful and pure it is, it has already been buried in the mud.
"Answer me!" Fan Wuxi's eyes turned red.
Xie Bian pushed him hard, and said coldly, "Let go."
"You like me." Fan Wuxi showed a crying and smiling expression, which made people worry.
"open!"
"Why don't you dare to admit it, you dare not lie, and you dare not admit it. Is it difficult to admit that you like me? I love you so much that I can't let go in two lifetimes, and you don't even admit that you like me?!"
"I don't like you!" Jie Bian let out a low growl, and suddenly there was a trace of water vapor in his eyes. He was like a chick desperately retreating into the nest. The threat in front of him, he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want to... like you."
Fan Wuxi hugged him fiercely, endured the severe pain in his heart, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay, brother, it's my fault, it's all my fault. But we still have a lot of time, one day , you won't feel guilty because you like me."
Jie Bian closed his eyes in pain—
The two of them searched for traces of Jiang Qulian inside and outside Lanxi Town. Although they did not find anything, these clues only showed that Jiang Qulian had been there. Because of his advanced cultivation, he was not easily detected by soul weapons like ordinary ghosts. So unless they were very close, it was almost impossible to find him.
After some delay, half a day passed, and after noon, it was time for Song Chungui and Li Zhiqing to compete.
The time was chosen really strangely. In the heat of summer, the competition was not earlier or later, and the hottest and hottest stall in the afternoon had to be chosen. However, everyone was too curious about this competition and did not want to miss it. Converging towards the ring under the scorching sun, this made those peddlers selling popsicle fans fatter.
They spent a lot of money to buy two chairs on the second floor of the restaurant next door, and they could sit by the window and drink iced plum soup, but a chair here is also expensive, so there are still several people sitting at the square table, all stretched out. Long neck and look down.
"This arena looks strange. I heard that the four copper beasts have bought up all the copper in the city. What are they trying to do?"
"Who knows, but Mr. Li has always been good at pomp."
"It's such a good show?" The man snorted, "Can he be Gu Wujian's opponent? When the time comes to set up such a beautiful arena just to make a fool of yourself last time? Tsk tsk, it seems that his brain is really sick. "
The two of them looked at the arena thoughtfully, feeling a little strange in their hearts. They really couldn't figure out what Li Zhiqing wanted to do, and whether there was any other mystery in the arena. They didn't expect some agencies on the arena to come and attack Song Chungui or something? That would be foolish.
There was commotion in the crowd, and Song Chungui and Li Zhiqing walked over surrounded by a group of disciples. Song Chungui was as calm and stern as ever, and Li Zhiqing didn't seem nervous, as if he wasn't worried that he was going to fight the top swordsman in the world of cultivating immortals.
The two jumped onto the ring, Song Chungui bowed and said, "Senior brother."
Li Zhiqing also returned the salute, and called "junior brother" in a strange way.
Song Chungui said seriously: "Senior brother, I am here today not to agree to a duel with you, but to settle the matter between us in front of fellow Taoists in the world of cultivating immortals and elders and disciples of Wuliang Sect."
Li Zhiqing smiled and said: "It's rare for us to want to go together, and I also want to settle it."
"Senior brother, I have already told you countless times about all the truths, all the pros and cons, and I don't need to repeat them. The last thing I want to see is the Wuliang faction's infighting, but I must also Inherit Master's will and carry forward the Wuliang Sect, so..." Song Chungui looked around, his eyes as firm and sharp as a falcon, "Senior brother, I want to succeed the Wuliang Sect as the head, please hand over Lei Zubao to me."
As soon as this remark came out, the scene was once so quiet that a needle could be heard.
Out of various concerns, Song Chungui was unwilling to openly compete with Li Zhiqing for the position of head, and he still took care of the internal and external affairs of the sect as acting head. This was the first time he declared so forcefully that he would be the head. It was also the first time to ask Li Zhiqing for Lei Zubao's patent.
Li Zhiqing sneered: "Stop pretending? I was cowardly before, didn't I just hope that I would take the initiative to give up the virtuous and fulfill your good reputation of loyalty, filial piety and integrity, otherwise, if the words of 'the master just died, the apprentice took the family property', it will be known to the world. Human teeth are cold."
Song Chungui's eyes were full of darkness: "Senior brother, don't go too far. The Wuliang sect was entrusted to me by the master before his death. With the talent and cultivation of the senior brother, it is indeed not enough to support the number one sect in the world. What's more, the world of humans and ghosts is in turmoil at this time. , Rebuilding the Immortal Alliance has a long way to go, and I, Song Chungui, want to sit on this seat, not out of selfish desires, but only to save the common people from the fire and water, and if the sons of my senior brother can do a lot in the future, I will give way to the virtuous."
"Junior brother has always been so indifferent to fame and fortune, and devoted himself to cultivating Taoism. Unfortunately, if there are people in this world who don't covet the huge foundation of my Li family, will anyone believe it? If you are really as you said, I will be the master, and you will be the master." What's wrong with my right-hand man? No matter how bad I am, Li Zhiqing, I am also the best among my peers, and how much worse I am than you!" At the end of Li Zhiqing's words, there was hatred in his eyes, and unwillingness was written in every muscle that trembled. .
At that moment, Xie Bian seemed to see Li Buyu a hundred years ago. When they were still young, Zong Zixiao ruthlessly defeated Li Buyu at the Jiaolong meeting. At that time, the seeds of vicious hatred had already been deeply rooted. Planted in their hearts, in the future they will all become great figures who will stir up the situation. Those unwillingness and resentment back then changed everyone's destiny.
"Senior brother, it's not because of your cultivation that I don't step down." Song Chungui narrowed his eyes, "If you want me to explain clearly, I will ask you, Senior Brother Meng Kefei, how did he die? , Whose belly did it enter again?"
Everyone was in an uproar.
Killing intent rose in Li Zhiqing's eyes, and he said without changing his face: "You haven't been able to find out after searching for so long, you ask me
What, you still want to frame me? "
Although he looked calm, the eyes of the onlookers had stabbed him like a knife. When Song Chungui asked this question, no one doubted that Meng Kefei's death had nothing to do with Li Zhiqing. After all, Li Buyu was reborn by eating the cannibal pill, and finally became an immortal. As his only son, Li Zhiqing would let this change of fate go. Is there a shortcut
What's more, Meng Kefei and Li Zhiqing are fellow practitioners, and the pills of fellow practitioners can get twice the result with half the effort.
Song Chungui shook his head: "Brother, today you set up this arena, saying that as long as I beat you, you won't embarrass me anymore, right?"
"right."
"In front of so many people, I believe you will not break your promise." Song Chungui drew out his sword, "Brother, if you use Lei Zubao to proclaim, be careful not to hurt the people around you."
Li Zhiqing was not in a hurry to draw his sword: "Song Chungui, since you drew your sword, you are fighting me for the position of head. You feel your conscience and say, are you really worthy of my father, your master?"
Song Chungui's expression changed, his jaw tightened, his lips were slightly pursed, apparently trying to restrain himself.
Li Zhiqing's eyes swept over the crowd, and finally returned to Song Chungui: "No matter how extravagant your words are, and no matter how dignified you are, you are still a villain who fights for family property after master's death."
"shut up!"
Everyone was terrified when they heard this, this Li Zhiqing is indeed Li Buyu's son, he can't beat Song Chungui, but he punishes every sentence.
"Song Chungui, Junior Brother Song." Li Zhiqing smiled like a poisonous snake, "You care about fame and integrity, and you can't let go of the glory and wealth of the head of the Wuliang Sect. Senior brother has an idea, so that you can have the best of both worlds."
Song Chungui gritted his teeth: "Li Zhiqing, while I still recognize you as a senior brother, don't spit out blood again."
"Why, you don't recognize me as a senior brother, are you going to kill me?"
"I won't kill you, you were also entrusted to me by Master before he died." Song Chungui said sharply, "Draw your sword, the dispute between you and me is over!"
"Okay, your senior brother, I am not lacking in the beauty of an adult, I said, I will let you have both, as long as you return something from my Li family."
"… what."
Li Zhiqing narrowed his eyes, his eyes were sinister: "Your cultivation level."
