Ninth Demon Lord

Chapter 379 The Simple Choice
Cheng Yan looked at Ping Jian's sickly face and said, "Master Ping, we are all old, and we should let go of important things like maintaining the sect's teachings."
"Growing old, can you really let go?" Ping Jian asked.

Cheng Yan smiled helplessly: "Yes."
"I can't let it go." Plain Jane said affirmatively: "The first day I entered the sect, my master told me that I must uphold the sect's teachings until the moment I die."
Cheng Yan sighed and said, "Master Ping, tell me, how long can you live?"
"I won't live long." Ping Jian said with a smile.

"Since I can't live for long, why can't I let myself live a little easier?" Cheng Yan asked.

Ping Jian looked at Cheng Yan, smiled wryly and said: "I also want to have a few days of easy life, but there are too many things I don't want to see happening constantly, I can't ignore it."
"Master Ping, let me ask you again, you took care of it, what happened?"
"The result may not be satisfactory."
"In that case, why can't you let go?" Cheng Yan said bitterly.

Ping Jian looked at Cheng Yan, with gratitude in her old eyes, and said, "I don't care about anything else except Li Wan."
Cheng Yan shook his head helplessly and said, "You really want to prevent Li Wan from going to Cangling Hall?"
"Yes, I can't let Li Wan become the second Gu Yinglong. To become the future pillar of Qi Cangzong, talent is important, and character is even more important." Ping Jian said.

"Master Ping, I hope you think about it again." Cheng Yan said.

"I..." Ping Jian wanted to say it, but I had already thought about it.But seeing Cheng Yan's expectant gaze, his heart softened again, and he said, "Okay, let me think about it."
"That's right." Cheng Yan looked at the empty cup under Ping Jian's palm, and said with a smile: "Master Ping, I've been here for so long, don't you even let me drink?"
"Haha... I'm sorry... I'm sorry, I'll make you tea." Ping Jian got up to make tea.

Cheng Yan looked at Ping Jian with faint worry in his eyes.

. . . . . .

Inside the Cangling Hall, the suzerain Xue Bu wore a golden cannon, sat on the throne, and looked at Xue Hengsheng who was limp on the chair.

Xue Hengsheng didn't look at Xue Bu at all, not because he didn't want to look at Xue Bu, but because the meridians all over his body were sealed.When Xue Bu put him on the chair, he was the side throne.

"brush."
Xue Bu raised his hand, a spiritual force flew 20 meters, and shot into the meridian of Xue Hengsheng's neck, allowing Xue Hengsheng's head to move and speak.

Xue Hengsheng turned his head to look at Xue Bu. At this moment, he felt that he knew Xue Bu a little bit.But on second thought, do you really understand?Maybe all I learned was Xue Bu tonight.

"Junior brother, you let me down so much about what happened tonight." Xue Bu's tone was both indifferent and regretful.

"Sect Master, I know I was wrong, please give me a chance." Xue Hengsheng couldn't move his body, he could only lower his head vigorously to show his sincerity.

Xue Bu was silent for a while, and said: "Now, everyone in Qi Cangzong knows what you have done, how do you want me to give you a chance?"
"Sect Master, although I want to kill Li Wan, Li Wan is still alive at this moment. I did something wrong, but I didn't make a big mistake." Xue Hengsheng explained.

"Brothers from the Zhan family and Lin Chaofu from the Muqingshan Lin family, they all died because of you." Xue Bu said.

Hearing this, Xue Hengsheng groaned in his heart, what he feared most was that Lin Chaofu's death would also be blamed on himself.He lowered his head, pondered for a while with a bitter face, and said, "Sovereign, I was the one who found Brother Zhan, but Lin Chaofu has nothing to do with me."
"If it wasn't for your reminder, would Zhan Qingyu have brought Lin Chaofu here?" Xue Bu asked.

"Sovereign, I never reminded Zhan Qingyu to find Lin Chaofu." Xue Hengsheng sincerely argued.

"Do you think I will believe it? Will Mu Qingshan's Lin family believe it?" Xue Bu said coldly, "I told you that when Zhan Qingyu went to find Lin Chaofu, someone in the Lin family must know about you and Zhan Qingyu." How can you escape this account?"
When Xue Hengsheng heard this, his heart became even heavier.Of course he understands this truth, but now he can't admit it no matter what.He said, "Sovereign, I really didn't ask Zhan Qingyu to find Lin Chaofu."
Xue Bu frowned: "Since you said that, then wait until the Lin family arrives and see what the Lin family has to say."
"metropolitan......."
"Come here, take Xue Hengsheng to the secret room."
Xue Hengsheng still wanted to explain, but Xue Bu flicked casually, and a spiritual force sealed Xue Hengsheng's meridians, preventing him from continuing to explain.

Two spiritual cultivation disciples came in and dragged Xue Hengsheng out.

Xue Bu leaned back and relaxed on the throne.

He was very satisfied with what happened tonight.Li Wan was not hurt, he should have succeeded in moving Li Wan.At least in his opinion, Li Wan's mother is very grateful to him as suzerain.

Everything is developing in the direction he wants, and the next thing is to see when Li Wan will enter the Cangling Hall.

. . . . . .

At dawn, He Yutang from Chuan Gong Hall brought people to repair Li Wan's house.

Feng Ting couldn't practice or refine medicine, so he stood in the yard and watched the dozen or so spiritual practitioners next door repairing the house.

Because the houses are all made of solid wood and rebuilt with scaffolding, it is not too complicated to repair.These spiritual cultivators are obviously not the first time to repair a house, and their movements are very quick.

Two hours later, the house looked brand new.

He Yutang greeted Feng Ting and left with the spiritual practitioner.

Without Feng Ting's greeting, Li Wan and Li Yue came back.Li Yue went to check the house, while Li Wan flew over the courtyard wall and came to Feng Ting's side.

Neither of them spoke, just stood quietly.

After a while, Li Yue came over after inspecting the house.She said a few words to Feng Ting, then left with a smile.

The two small courtyards were quiet again, and only Feng Ting and Li Wan were left.

"Come in." After Feng Ting finished speaking, he turned and walked into his own room.

Li Wan followed silently, entered the room, closed the door, and drew out a soundproof spiritual power barrier.

In a room filled with a faint medicinal fragrance, the two stood facing each other.

"You were moved by Xue Bu?" Feng Ting asked casually.

Li Wan pondered for a while, and replied silently: "My mother was moved by Xue Bu. She thought it was Xue Xiao, Xue Hengsheng, and Baodiantang who harmed our family. Xue Xiao died, Xue Hengsheng was arrested, and she Think we should let it go."
"Madam Li doesn't want your family to experience another crisis, I can understand that." Feng Ting said calmly.

"Li Yue also has the same opinion as my mother." Li Wan said again.

"How does Mr. Li think of Xue Bu?" Feng Ting asked casually.

"Father didn't say anything, he seemed a little embarrassed." Li Wan said.

Feng Ting smiled lightly: "You should be in trouble too."
Li Wan looked at Feng Ting, her heroic eyes flickered slightly, and then said: "Actually, I'm not embarrassed."
"Really?" Feng Ting obviously didn't agree with Li Wan's answer, he said: "You don't want to join Qi Cangzong, but you have to take into account the safety of your family members, and you have to take into account their thoughts and feelings."
Li Wan was silent for a while, then said: "You are right."
Feng Ting said calmly: "What you see may not be true, and the feeling in your heart is even more difficult to distinguish true from false."
"Then what is real?" Li Wan asked, frowning.

"Facts, only facts are true." Feng Ting replied.

"What is the truth?" Li Wan asked.

"Xue Bu wants to put everything on Xue Hengsheng, he wants to give up Xue Hengsheng, this is the truth."
Li Wan looked at Feng Ting and asked, "You think Xue Bu wants to cover up what he did."
"Yes, Xue Bu didn't know what Xue Xiao and Xue Hengsheng did at the beginning, and he must have known later, but he acquiesced. Such a person is disgusting."
"Master Ping once told me that Xue Bu didn't know that Xue Xiao had harmed our family of four."
Feng Ting smiled boredly: "He was the one who asked Xue Xiao to go treasure hunting, so wouldn't he know what Xue Xiao was doing?"
Li Wan remained silent, before yesterday, he also thought so.But yesterday, she saw Xue Bu capture Xue Hengsheng, and the persuasion of her mother and sister last night made her feel that Xue Bu was not so hateful anymore.

Feng Ting looked at Li Wan, and continued: "Even if Xue Bu can forgive Xue Xiao for what he did, but his character is really bad. In order to get you, he can sacrifice Xue Hengsheng who worked for him, Is there still something he can't do? I don't care what you think, I will never let you get too close to someone like Xue Bu."
Li Wan heard Feng Ting's resolute words, looked at Feng Ting, and was a little stunned.

"Li Wan, are you there?"
Suddenly, a simple voice came from outside.

"Go out and have a look." Feng Ting said as he walked out of the room first.

Li Wan followed immediately, and the two walked out of the room, and saw Ping Jian standing outside the courtyard gate, looking at Li Wan's small courtyard.

"Senior." Feng Ting greeted Ping Jian.

"They're all there!" Ping Jian walked into the small courtyard with a smile, and arrived in front of Feng Ting and Li Wan.

Ping Jian looked at Feng Ting, then at Li Wan, then at Feng Ting and said, "Feng Ting, I want to talk to Li Wan alone."
"Senior, if you have anything to say, just say it." Li Wan's meaning was obvious, and she didn't have to hide anything from Feng Ting.

Hearing this, Ping Jian smiled and said, "Can I go in and talk?"
"Senior, please come in." Feng Ting made a gesture of invitation.

So, the three of them walked into Feng Ting's room.

Ping Jian smelled the faint scent of medicine, and said with a smile: "Feng Ting, you are such a diligent child."
Feng Ting did not respond to this question, but closed the door.

Ping Jian didn't continue this topic, and drew out a soundproof barrier, looking at Feng Ting and Li Wan.

Both Feng Ting and Li Wan felt that Ping Jian had something very important to say, and they both stood quietly, waiting for Ping Jian to speak.

It seemed difficult for Ping Jian to open his mouth, he was silent for a while, and then said: "On behalf of Qi Cangzong, I would like to apologize to you for what happened last night."
Li Wan didn't speak.

Feng Ting smiled lightly and said, "Senior, you don't have to do that."
Jian Jian's eyes fell on Li Wan's face again, and the embarrassment was more obvious on that sickly face.

"Senior, didn't you come to remind Li Wan?" Feng Ting said suddenly.
