The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Inside Yuexin Garden, the air was stagnant.

In the distance, Yue Qingying and the other three were eating melon with relish. Tie Wuxin's face turned pale and blue and he didn't know how to start.

Fang Xun was seen with a smile on his face, standing leisurely with his hands behind his back.

Lu Delin's hand was half broken and blood was dripping from it. His face was pale and his beard was trembling slightly. It was unclear whether it was because of the pain, anger, or fear.

An invisible aura filled the air, and the flowers and plants in Yue Xin Garden seemed to be oppressed by the aura and lowered their heads in shame.

After a moment's silence, Lu Delin's expression calmed down again. He didn't care about the broken palm that was still dripping with blood. He just bent down and saluted solemnly to Fang Xun.

"I am indeed guilty, please punish me, Lord Lin Chuan!"

quiet!
The scene fell silent again. Not only Yue Qingying and the other three, but even Tie Wuxin was startled. They thought Lu Delin was going to fight to the death, but they didn't expect that he would just give in.

Fang Xun stood with his hands behind his back, smiling even more, and said jokingly, "Lord Lu is a little unfair. You are guilty, and His Majesty should punish you. Why did you find me as the one who did it?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gently placed it on his left shoulder. Lu Delin's face immediately turned red, and Tie Wuxin's face beside him also changed completely.

Suddenly, the air flow spread out with a bang, and the flowers and plants outside the pavilion were immediately uprooted, and cracks appeared on the ground.

Click——click——click——

Fang Xun pressed lightly, but it was like a mountain pressing down, making Lu Delin's red eyes seem to be spitting fire. He used all his strength to resist, but only received a series of crisp crackling sounds, and his body became shorter and shorter.

"How dare you bully me like this!"

"Bully you?"

Fang Xun had an amused look on his face and suddenly exerted force with his palm.

boom--

With a loud bang, Lu Delin suddenly knelt on his knees, his crown fell off, his hair was disheveled, and the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

With a bang, the true energy completely boiled, causing the wind and clouds to change color, and even causing the air temperature to rise sharply. The flowers and plants spontaneously combusted without fire, as if the entire Yue Xin Garden was trapped in a furnace.

But no matter how terrifying the sound was, Fang Xun's slender white palm remained on his shoulder without moving, and even when pure golden light filled the sky, there was no change at all.

“I am actually very confused. It is obvious that you and I are both parasites who are harming the interests of the court for our own selfish interests.

Why is it that you, a great scholar, are praised by the world, while I am criticized by you and accused of being disrespectful to the emperor and father?"

Fang Xun placed one hand on Lu Delin's shoulder and put the other hand behind his back. His tone was calm and his face was full of doubt, as if he was really asking the other person for advice.

"What gave you the courage to point your finger at me and scold me?"

"Is it the Shilin who controls the voices of the people of the world, or your power which is insignificant to me?"

boom--

As the words fell, Lu Delin felt endless coldness spreading in the void, freezing the blazing pure yang energy.

In just a moment, the frost on the ground spread out madly. The previous moment Yue Xin Garden was still a hot summer day, and the next moment it turned into ice and snow.

The newly formed ice surface sparkled in the sunlight, the colorful reflections were extremely beautiful, and Lu Delin himself turned into an ice sculpture.

His face was in a state of disarray and ferocity, his body could not move, his mouth could not speak, and only his eyeballs were still moving with difficulty.

"Fang Xun, that's enough!"

At this time, a low voice came into Fang Xun's ears, making him turn his gaze to Tie Wuxin, and he saw that the other's eyes were filled with pleading.

After seeing this, Fang Xun sighed and said, "Well, Uncle Tie, you can take him away." Tie Wuxin nodded heavily, grabbed the frozen Lu Delin and flew away, disappearing into the horizon in a flash.

In an instant, the ice and snow melted, and the flowers in the garden bloomed again.

Watching the other person's departing figure gradually disappear, Yue Qingying, who had been silent all the time, finally spoke.

"My Lord, if you let Lu Delin live, I'm afraid it will be more painful than death."

Fang Xun shook his head and said with a smile: "I didn't intend to kill him in the first place. Killing is easier than finishing. I'm sure Sect Leader Yue doesn't want him to die on your sect's territory."

Yue Qingying also smiled after hearing this: "Thank you very much, Lord Marquis."

"It just happened to happen."

Fang Xun did not lie, he really did not intend to kill anyone this time, mainly because the Prince of Yue's Mansion was focusing on farming and technological advancement and did not want to start a war.

Otherwise, a Zhenwu master affiliated with the imperial court died in the Caixia Sect, and the imperial court would never be able to swallow this humiliation.

Even if Wan Pingchuan was afraid of Fang Xun and did not dare to take action against Jiangnan, he would turn his attention to the Caixia Sect.

It will be easy to start a war, but it will not be so easy to stop it.

Although things seem calm in the world now, the undercurrent has actually been surging for a long time. It’s just that no one wants to start a war, and everyone is working hard to strengthen their own strength.

If the imperial court attacks the Caixia Sect now, Yue Qingying will have no choice but to ask Li Cunyi and others for help. The Qingshan Gang will most likely take the initiative to intervene.

Then the King of Shu and the King of Zhao will surely follow suit.

A single move can affect the entire body. As the war spreads wider and wider, Jiangnan will certainly not be able to stay out of it in the end.

Fang Xun felt that the current situation, where all parties were wary of each other and kept their troops on hold, was very good.

Let the Prince of Yue's Palace farm in peace until the eight states in the south of the Yangtze River are completely taken over. It won't matter how fierce the fighting is in other places.

No matter what he said this time, he gave Wan Pingchuan a way out. As long as the other party didn't want to start a war, he would have to endure it.

At this time, Fang Xun's eyes swept over Zou Jing, Mu Wuji, and Xu Yunfan, and finally fell on Yue Qingying again, and he spoke slowly.

"Can I have a private chat with Master Yue?"

"Ok?"

Yue Qingying frowned slightly when she heard that, while Mu Wuji and Xu Yunfan beside her looked alert again. Zou Jing spoke in a deep voice, his eyes full of hostility.

"My Lord, why can't we just talk about it here? It's not like we can't let the public see it."

The strength displayed by Fang Xun in forcing Lu Delin to kneel with one hand made the four of them subconsciously alert.

Although the other party had just rescued Yue Qingying, they still had no idea about the other party's purpose of coming to Caixia Sect. What if he came with malicious intentions?
Of course he didn’t dare let Yue Qingying and Fang Xun be alone.

Seeing that the four of them were all on guard, Fang Xun sighed and said, "This matter concerns a secret of the Caixia Sect. Does Sect Leader Yue really mind if the three of them sit in on it?"

Zou Jing and the other two looked stunned and looked at Yue Qingying, only to see that her brows were furrowed even more tightly.

But soon, Yue Qingying relaxed her brows again.

"It is widely rumored that Marquis Lin Chuan is a womanizer."

Zou Jing's heart tightened and he looked at him with more vigilance. Fang Xun's face turned even darker, but his next words immediately made his face look much better.

"But I believe in the character of the Marquis. I must have an important matter to visit you. Please follow me." (End of this chapter)
