Chapter 157 Shao Bai (6)
"Don't worry too much, I'm just teaching him a lesson. He'll be fine in an hour!" Wangyou said to Ye Dingzhi.
"No, I just can't figure out why?"
"Maybe it's because I made fun of his nephew, and he couldn't stand it!"
"We can't do that to a girl like you! If you get pregnant, your life will be ruined!"
"Ye Dingzhi, kind people are long dead. Wen Hujiu's reputation today is built on the bloodshed. I know that boy may be your friend, but he is also Wen Hujiu's most beloved nephew!"
“That’s right. If people in the martial arts world were truly kind, they would have died long ago!” Ye Dingzhi stopped worrying about it. As for what to do after recognizing Baili Dongjun, he would deal with it later.
"Let's hurry!" The two of them headed towards Tianqi City together.
Wenhu Jiu finally recovered, exclaiming, "These blood claws are truly poisonous!"
"Uncle, I really didn't expect you to fall for it."
"I didn't expect this either, but it's my own fault!" Wen Hujiu said with some sense of responsibility. In the martial world, if you're not as skilled as others, you should always admit defeat.
"Uncle, how did you get infected?" Baili Dongjun asked curiously.
"Soon, that guy's poisoning technique is much faster than mine. I, the old guard, am probably going to be swept away on the beach!" Wen Hujiu planned to inquire when such a figure had appeared in the martial arts world.
"Ye Dingzhi, when we arrive in Tianqi City, will you also be taking the school's grand exam?"
"I have that idea. After all, it's an academy overseen by the world's number one, Mr. Li. I may not go to the academy, but I still want to meet Mr. Li!" Everyone admires strength, especially young people.
"I want to fight him and see who's stronger!"
"Mr. Li has been famous for many years and is truly the number one in the world. Although you have entered the realm of the divine, you may not be able to defeat Mr. Li." Ye Dingzhi was stating a fact.
"That's not necessarily true!" Wangyou smiled. She had lived for so many years; it would be too embarrassing if she couldn't beat a mortal.
"You'll see when you lose!"
"Losing is losing, it's not like we can't accept defeat. I believe Mr. Li feels the same way!"
"Then I'll come and cheer you on."
"Okay, if you don't come, I'll carry you there myself," Wangyou said with a smile.
"There's no need for that!" Ye Dingzhi refused, thinking that if that day ever came, this girl would definitely be capable of doing it, so he'd better go by himself.
"By the way, Ye Dingzhi, why do you insist on going to Tianqi, especially now? I don't think you really want to see that Mr. Li." Wangyou suddenly changed her tone.
Looking into Wangyou's eyes, Ye Dingzhi knew he could fool others, but not this girl, because she saw through people and things too clearly.
Let me tell you a story!
"it is good."
"Once upon a time, there were three people: a prince and two sons of generals. The prince was not favored from a young age, but he had two sworn brothers who treated him very well. With the help of his two sworn brothers, the prince ascended the throne. However, as time went on, the prince, who was now the emperor, began to suspect his two brothers. Until one day, someone framed the general's family for treason. Without even investigating, he had the entire general's family executed."
"Which general are you a descendant of?"
"Yes, I was rescued by my master and went to Nanzhao. Now I have the ability to take revenge."
"You want to kill that emperor? Do you need help?" Wangyou's tone was full of excitement. Assassinating the emperor, ah, how rare!
"No...no!" Ye Dingzhi quickly interrupted Wangyou's imagination when he saw her excited expression, forgetting all about being sad.
"We won't kill the emperor!" Wangyou's excitement vanished instantly.
"Back then, it was the Second Prince, Qing Wang, who framed my father. The person I want to kill is the Second Prince. I know he wouldn't dare to do it without the Emperor's permission!" Ye Dingzhi's tone was full of helplessness.
"You think there are countless experts in the palace, making it unlikely that you can break in, while the Prince of Qing is the main culprit and lives outside the palace, making him easier to kill, right?"
"Yes, there are countless experts in the palace. Even if I successfully kill the emperor, the world will immediately fall into chaos. My father has spent his whole life protecting the country. Even when he had the opportunity to rebel, he surrendered without resistance. I cannot be unfilial!"
"Well, although I don't understand what the loyal ministers and generals of the past were thinking, I still admire them quite a bit!" Wangyou didn't comment on this, because everyone has their own thoughts.
Just like Yue Fei in history, despite receiving twelve imperial edicts, he knew that staying at the border was the safest option and what would happen if he went back, but he still went back without hesitation.
"But remember to call me for help when you kill the Prince of Qing. After all, a prince's mansion must have a lot of secret guards. We've been friends for years, so I can help with this!" Since you can't kill the emperor, the Prince of Qing will do. After all, the emperor has many sons, so losing one won't make a difference.
"Wangyou, I can't drag you down with me!"
"Hehe, don't even think about being a lone hero. Let me tell you, not only can they not do anything to me, but even if they could, I can still use poison!" Wangyou said, shaking the medicine bottle in her hand.
"Is this the new poison you've researched?"
“Yes, I named him Jian Shou Qing. Why don’t you skip assassinating the Green King? The risk is too high. Just poison him. He’ll be perfect for me to test the medicine on.” Wang You’s eyes gleamed with excitement.
Aren't you afraid that everything I said was a lie?
"I believe you're not lying to me, but the other general you mentioned should be the current Marquis of Zhenxi, right?"
"Correct."
“Then you and Baili Dongjun must have grown up together since childhood, no wonder you treat him differently.” Wangyou seemed to have just figured it out.
"That was the warmth of my youth, and Wenjun too. I just wonder how she is now?" Ye Dingzhi's tone was filled with nostalgia and emotion.
"Wenjun? Is she a girl? Your childhood sweetheart!"
"I guess so. She's the daughter of the Shadow Sect Master. We were engaged when we were young, but that engagement ended after my father passed away," Ye Dingzhi said with a hint of self-deprecation.
"You're not still thinking about it now, are you?" Wangyou's eyes were full of gossip.
"What are you talking about? I already said it was a marriage agreement from when we were young. She's probably married by now. Besides, so many years have passed, she probably doesn't even remember me."
"You mean if she's not married and still remembers you, you should go back to her?" Wangyou felt like this guy had a love-struck brain; she should probably pry it open and see.
"No!" Ye Dingzhi felt a sense of danger for some reason and answered decisively.
"Why? Neither he nor she is married, why don't they go back to her?" Wangyou asked curiously.
Do you know who has jurisdiction over Shadow Sect?
"I don't know." Wangyou shook her head honestly.
“The Shadow Sect is under the jurisdiction of the royal family, so you could say it’s the royal family’s secret guard. If I kill the Green King, the Shadow Sect will probably hunt me down. In that situation, how could I possibly seek my own death? I’m not stupid,” Ye Dingzhi explained hastily.
"Okay, that's a pointless answer!"
