That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 899 Listening to Thunder in a Silent Place

After Xu Beiyou left Yu Kuang's study, he came to the guest courtyard to meet Li Shentong and his party.

At this time, including Cang Yun, Ling Yun, Qi Xianyun and the other three were all banned by Xu Beiyou, and none of them were martial arts masters, so it would be difficult for [-]% of them to perform well, so Xu Beiyou assured Zhang Yuping to bring Cang Yun and Ling Yun alone. After leaving, Qi Xianyun and Li Shentong were left alone.

When there were only three people left in the room, Xu Beiyou sat on the main seat unceremoniously, then raised his hand and asked Li Shentong to sit on an embroidered pier next to him. The embroidered pier was hollow, and there was a charcoal fire inside, warm self-generated.

The reason for keeping Li Shentong here, Xu Beiyou did not say clearly, but both Zhang Yuping and Li Shentong had guessed, it was nothing more than Xu Beiyou regarded Li Shentong as his successor. It has already revealed intelligence that is different from ordinary people, and even has Xiao Jin's demeanor back then.Xu Beiyou never thought that his aptitude was so good, or how good his roots were. He thought that the reason why he was able to become what he is today is more due to the current situation, that is to say, in response to the old saying that the times make heroes, it is precisely because of the overthrow of Jianzong But he had to seek a way out from the imperial court, so there is Xu Beiyou today. Xu Beiyou doesn't want future Jianzong disciples to continue to follow their own old path, and he doesn't think they can follow their own old path, so Li Shentong's aptitude is fundamental. A good person becomes the best choice.

However, Li Shentong is also like Xiao Jin, with a very evil temper and too many unpredictable uncertainties, so Xu Beiyou brought Li Shentong by his side to teach by example. He insisted on going his own way, arbitrarily, and he didn't want this person to come out of his hands.

After Xu Beiyou and Li Shentong sat down, Qi Xianyun could only stand and answer.

After Qi Xianyun's initial restlessness, her mood gradually calmed down, and she returned to the image of a Taoist fairy who did not eat the fireworks in the world. She knew that after Xu Beiyou made that bold guess, she would definitely not let her die easily. She has become an important pawn in Xu Beiyou's hands, so she is confident and no longer afraid of anything.

Xu Beiyou gently stroked the armrest of the chair, but did not rush to speak.

On the contrary, Qi Xianyun took the initiative to ask: "Sect Master Xu, do you want to make something out of me?"

Xu Beiyou answered the wrong question: "I didn't lie to you, I really admire Ling Yun's personality. In today's world, there are really not many people like him, monks like him, at least I have seen very few, so I won't kill him."

Qi Xianyun remained silent.

Xu Beiyou continued: "As for Cang Yun, it was originally a pawn, but it turned out to be a bait in the end. It is really a surprise to catch a big fish like you."

Qi Xianyun said slowly: "If you want to make a fuss about me, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. Master won't care, and madam won't care either."

"You really don't care?" Xu Beiyou asked with a smile, "If you really don't care, how can there be a saying that a woman is in charge."

Qi Xianyun said indifferently: "This is nothing but fiction."

Xu Beiyou said noncommittally: "Miss Twelve, the Taoists say that you are an orphan without father and mother. In fact, a long time ago, I was also regarded as an orphan who didn't know who my parents were, but not long ago, I already knew who I am. Who are the biological parents, I have to sigh, the world is impermanent."

Qi Xianyun said expressionlessly: "That's your business, what has it got to do with me?"

Xu Beiyou nodded, and said, "Then I will say one more thing. Before I knew who my biological parents were, I had some unrealistic questions, for example, why did Master treat me so well? Could he be my biological father? Since Fairy Qi is also an orphan, I don't know if Fairy Qi has doubts about this."

Qi Xianyun laughed it off, as if he didn't bother to answer Xu Beiyou's question.

Xu Beiyou suddenly said, "Senior Brother Cangyun."

Cang Yun, who should have left this place, pushed the door and entered.

Xu Beiyou said softly: "Senior Brother Cangyun, I wonder if you know about this?"

Cang Yun nodded.

Xu Beiyou pointed to a chair not far away, "Brother, please sit down and talk slowly."

After Cang Yun took his seat, he slowly said: "I think the reason why the acting suzerain wants the suzerain to come to see me in person is for this reason."

Xu Beiyou was noncommittal.

Cang Yun continued: "I learned about this matter from my elder brother by accident, that is, Daoist Tianyun, when he was talking with others, he accidentally mentioned this matter, and he didn't hide it from me. Maybe he has already Knowing my true identity, that's why I deliberately told it to me."

Qi Xianyun's eyes suddenly darkened.

Xu Beiyou asked, "What did he say?"

Cang Yun hesitated for a moment, glanced at the nominal twelve junior sisters, and said softly: "Tian Yun said, Qi Xianyun shouldn't be surnamed Qi, let alone an orphan, she should be the eldest lady of the most distinguished family in the world."

Qi Xianyun said coldly: "It's nonsense!"

Xu Beiyou was completely indifferent to this, and his eyes signaled Cang Yun to continue talking.

Cang Yun said: "The person who talked with Tianyun at that time was a newly promoted deacon of Zhenmo Palace. His surname was Ye Mingzui, and his real name was Ye Lanyi. Ask Tianyun which family the eldest lady is from, Tianyun pointed to Ye Lanyi and said it was your Ye family."

Cang Yun looked at Xu Beiyou, and said in a deep voice: "Sovereign, if Tianyun had already known my true identity, then his intention of telling me what he said was to borrow a knife to kill someone, and to borrow the hand of our Sword Sect to remove the obstacles that hinder him from ascending. Qi Xianyun, the head teacher."

Xu Beiyou was noncommittal, and asked, "What about later?"

Cang Yun took a deep breath, and said everything he knew like beans in a bamboo tube, "Tian Yun also said that Qi Xianyun's biological father is Qiu Ye, the current head teacher of Taoism, and his biological mother is Murong Xuan, the head of the Murong family. She was born in the Zixiao Palace in Xuandu in the 17th year of Taiping, and there were few people who knew about it. Because of her extraordinary talent since she was a child, after Qiu Ye conspired with Murong Xuan, she decided not to send her back to Ye's family, but to pretend to be an orphan to pay her respects. Entering Qiuye's sect, as for its true intentions, it is impossible to ask."

Xu Beiyou said with a smile: "It is said that children cannot be controlled when they grow up. No matter how filial a child is, he will have his own ideas and disobey his parents' wishes when he grows up. No wonder Master Teacher doesn't like Tianyun. It has come to such an extent, why bother?"

Qi Xianyun turned a deaf ear to this sarcastic remark.

Xu Beiyou asked Cang Yun again: "Senior Brother Cang Yun, you said that you really can't ask about your intentions, but why can't you ask?"

Cang Yun was startled slightly, raised his head just to meet Xu Beiyou's icy eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Back to the suzerain, it is nothing more than letting Qi Xianyun inherit the Daoist lineage, in this way, it will be like Xia Qi's succession, and there will be no masters and apprentices in the Daoist sect in the future. But to turn it into the private property of one family and one surname is really a treasonous intention."

Qi Xianyun's face turned pale instantly, and his body trembled slightly.

Xu Beiyou stroked his palm lightly, and sighed, "Your words can be said to be like listening to thunder in a silent place."
