The Lord who use immortals as food

Pei Ye sat in the car and went back to the hospital building steadily. He could hear his name coming from the window from time to time.

It was as if a huge rock was thrown into a lake. Pei Ye saw the ripples spreading towards the whole city.

It was difficult to describe his mood at this moment. In his 17 years of life, the boy was in this position for the first time. It was too abrupt and too high. It was as if a down-to-earth person was suddenly lifted up to the sky. In the excitement, there must be a kind of panic.

Pei Ye couldn't help but want to confide this feeling to others, but he subconsciously moved his eyes. The familiar white clothes were no longer around, and the green shadow that he talked about everything was thousands of miles away.

Pei Ye was slightly stunned, and the kitten on his shoulder suddenly said calmly: "Pei Ye, you are really popular now."

"." Pei Ye turned his head to look at it, and his pair of glass blue eyes were as clear as ever.

Pei Ye pinched it off his shoulder. In fact, he also found that as the kitten spent more time in the mortal world, it was no longer completely cold and ruthless. Perhaps it was infected, or perhaps more "humanity" awakened from the depths. It buried its cold and lofty goal deep inside, and never mentioned it to him again in these days.

". If I can't beat it the day after tomorrow, will you help me?"

"I'm just a cat."

"If I die, you can't live."

"We can break the contract."

Pei Ye pinched its face.

Qu Xin watched this scene quietly, and suddenly said coldly beside him: "You are indeed a family member."

"." The man and the cat paused at the same time.

The carriage stopped downstairs, and four armored soldiers stood in front of the door. The boy with a tent and a cat walked up to the top pavilion in the crowd, accepted the examination of the doctors today, and took the [Qingdi Pill] as instructed.

Then came to the quiet room next to it. Qu Xin was preparing needles and medicines at the table. Pei Ye sat by the couch and swung his calves, curiously looking around the quiet room with complicated instruments.

Qu Xin came over, Pei Ye looked at the familiar needles: "Did you use this set of needles yesterday? I remember it was quite comfortable. The two before were a bit sore."

"Well, [Spring Qi Small Needle]." Qu Xin walked in front of him with a candle, Pei Ye stared at the needles in her hand, one of which was very thick, but he didn't know where to pierce

"I'll help Mr. Pei take off his boots." Qu Xin said softly.

"Ah?! No, no!" Pei Ye shrank his legs in fear.

However, the girl didn't mean to move at all, and looked at him quietly: "Then what are you waiting for."

"."

Pei Ye closed his mouth and rolled his eyes, took off his boots and lay on the bed.

After a set of acupuncture, Pei Ye felt comfortable all over. He sat up and buttoned up lazily: "Do you have more needles after this one?"

"I'll give you two more needles tomorrow morning and evening, so it won't affect the action."

Pei Ye smiled, but heard the girl add: "If you haven't been treated before, bring it back and I'll give you a discount."

". I'm too lazy to talk to you."

Pei Ye left the quiet room refreshed and returned to the attic where he was recuperating.

The meal was over, and the whole city was full of lights. Pei Ye leaned against the window, looking at this vast city and the darkening sky in the distance, knowing that his name would be heard by countless people tonight.

Just when the moon was halfway out of the window, a sword sheath stretched down from the eaves and knocked on the window frame. A gentle and tired old voice came from above: "How do you feel today, Mr. Pei?"

Pei Ye jumped onto the eaves. Under the bright moon, Sui Zaihua had his gray hair tied back and sat cross-legged on the ground, with a single sword on his knees and sake beside him.

"You seem very busy these days."

"I told you that I'm going to be promoted." Sui Zaihua handed him a full cup and said in a low voice, "I received the seal today."

Pei Ye had heard him talk about the "dudu" in Kongtong, but he didn't quite understand it at that time. It was not until the past two days, from other people's mouths and his own eyes, that he vaguely realized the high position and power of the old man in front of him.

But whether it was then or now, the old man's tone did not really sound any excitement or satisfaction, he just told the young man frankly and straightforwardly.

The two were already quite familiar with each other, Pei Ye couldn't help asking, "Are you unhappy?"

"Hmm?" Sui Zaihua was slightly surprised, smiled and raised his wine glass, "Can't you see how relaxed I am? I don't drink on weekdays."

The old man was indeed obviously relaxed after being appointed as the duke, the sword meeting was successful, and the Kongtong matter was completed. He raised his head and drank a glass, and said "ha" with satisfaction.

But "relaxed" and "happy" are different after all, Pei Ye thought.

Since the old man didn't answer, he didn't ask any more questions. He shook the clear liquid in the cup twice, and the moon wave rippled slightly. He raised the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

"I don't usually drink."

"Haha, are you proud today?"

". Proud." Pei Ye paused for a moment, but couldn't help laughing.

From the time Cheng Yuanqi bowed to him when he left, whether it was the carriage and horse entourage that he had never imagined, or the identity of being able to enter and exit the powerful place at will, and any behavior was prepared in advance, every bit of his wishes were respected and valued. These were all experiences he had never had before.

Although there was embarrassment and discomfort, he was unwilling to give up the respectful title to others, but this feeling of being like a young prince was still indescribable to him.

Especially the roll call at the sword selection meeting just now.

He said to Qu Xin, "When I am eight years old, I will definitely be on the duck list." Isn't it because of the surge of emotions in his heart - these swordsmen who competed in the competition are really powerful, but are they really as powerful as me?

In terms of sword talent, I am better than any of you.

Of course, this consciousness was not spoken out, or even clearly revealed in the heart, because the wall further ahead is the reality of rationality - no matter how high your sword talent is, you have to cash it out before it counts, and no one recognizes it now You Pei Ye, you have just entered your sixth life, and Jian has just entered the spiritual realm. You are the only one who believes in yourself.

So you have to hold it in your heart and work hard silently until you convince everyone bit by bit.

But this process was dismissed by the old man with a wave of his hand.

——You are Shaolong’s number one sword talent, so you should be number one in Shaolong’s Sword Selection Club. It’s natural.

At that moment, he was really excited.

"I told you, you are the white crane under the wings of the new governor." Sui Zaihua poured wine and looked at the big city at his feet, "It is yours, no one has the right to ask you to be humble."

"Master Sui." Pei Ye finally couldn't help but pour out another feeling, "I'm actually a little worried."

"Um."

"It's especially special to reach such a high position all of a sudden. I didn't get there step by step. Besides, there are too many people." The young man frowned and said softly, "I have never tried this."

"Yes, today and tomorrow, in the next three days, countless people will question the word 'Pei Ye'." Sui Zaihua tilted his head to look at him, "And it will definitely get worse. I knew it when I made the decision."

"Then you still"

"Are you afraid?"

Pei Ye was stunned.

"Are you afraid you won't be able to defeat them?"

"I'm worried that I won't win." Pei Ye was silent for a moment, "I don't recognize those powerful people, and I don't know what methods they have. And they are all Ba Sheng."

"That's exactly what I want you to do." Sui Zaihua said.

"."

"You will put him on top of whoever you are sure you can beat. That is climbing a ladder, not going up to the blue sky." Sui Zaihua said, "Just like this, let the whole city look forward to questioning the name 'Pei Ye', let those who claim to be Extraordinary swords look at you coldly, but at the end of the Jade Sword Stage, you will use the sharpest sword to inherit this title, right? "

Sui Zaihua raised his head and drank, looking at him with gentle eyes: "It's just another miracle."

".But I'm going to lose."

"If you lose, you lose." Sui Zaihua smiled casually, "Then let's reconsider your ranking, hahaha."

"..." Pei Ye couldn't help but smile helplessly, "I didn't even say hello to the factions first. They're going to hate me."

"Because a smiling face will not always win respect." Sui Zaihua poured him wine and sighed, "They also want to be first, and you also want to be first. How can they not hate you?"

"."

"If you go to make friends with a smile on your face, you will be looked down upon." Sui Zaihua said, "Only when you are unquestionably the leader can you be qualified to make friends later."

Pei Ye nodded slowly.

The two of them sat on the roof of the building and drank slowly. The faint sounds of people below faded away, and there was only the autumn night sky above them.

In the silence, Pei Ye turned his head and looked at this slender face so closely for the first time. His old skin had become somewhat saggy, but his facial features were still as carved, his temples were clean, and his eyes were like wells. A person can live to this age. At this age, you must have seen through many things, including yourself.

".Lord Sui."

"Um?"

"Do you have any ideals?"

The moonlight was like water, and the young man looked at him with his clean eyes.

Sui Zaihua smiled: "Talking about ideals with people who give you a white gift is like an invisible knife."

"But you must have, haven't you?"

".yes."

of course.

Whenever two people come together, they can of course talk about their ideals. Your ideals determine your path, and my ideals determine my path.

Why do you do so many things for me? Why do you give me the power derived from you so unhesitatingly, like a biological uncle?

Pei Ye didn't read much and didn't know much, but he wouldn't pretend to be stupid.

Sui Zaihua leaned back slightly, put his hands behind his head, and leaned on the eaves. He smiled and said, "Are you going to laugh at me if I tell you?"

".how come!"

"Okay, I want to figure it out." Sui Zaihua raised his head.

".What?" Pei Ye was stunned and followed the old man's gaze, but there was nothing there. "What, Mr. Sui, I am only six years old and my eyesight is not very good."

"Hahahaha, can't you see it?" Sui Zaihualang smiled and turned back, "Such a huge piece of sky!"

".Huh?" Pei Ye was stunned.

"Look, I'm going to laugh."

"No!" Pei Ye covered his mouth

But this is indeed a question he only thought about when he was ten years old.

Sui Zaihua seemed to have seen through him and didn't care. He shook his wine glass and said, "If life is a circle, then children and old people should be together."

"."

"I'm very serious, Pei Ye." Sui Zaihua lowered his face and looked quietly at the clear autumn night, "If a person sees the most trivial thing in the world when he is young, then he will never be able to get out. Or he will never get out. He was defeated and spent his whole life decadent, or he became obsessed with it and established himself as a lifelong enemy."

"."

Sui Zaihua turned his head and looked at him: "You must understand, right?"

".yes."

"I really want to know how this world works; sometimes I feel like someone is fiddling with my destiny, and whose finger is it?" Sui Zaihua closed his eyes and said, "If you are getting older and your cultivation is getting better and better, Gao, you understand what I’m talking about.”

"."

"So if I have a goal, then it is Pei Ye." Sui Zaihua opened his eyes and looked at him seriously, "I understand your problem and will not hide it from you. This year I will be the governor, and in the next ten years I will There are two things to do. The first is to be transferred to the center, to the three provinces, or to the Lianglong Jiedu; the second is to be promoted to Tianlou. "

Pei Ye's eyes suddenly widened: "But aren't you just——"

Sui Zaihua laughed, shook his head and sighed: "Another knife."

Pei Ye waved her hands hurriedly: "No, no, that's not what I meant."

Sui Zaihua did not explain, but said with a smile: "Anyway, let's have a goal first."

He calmly said: "There is no other reason, Pei Ye. You are the best swordsman I have ever seen, tough, clear, and righteous. I told you when I was in Bowang that I like you very much."

"So I invite you to walk this road with me," Sui Zaihua looked at him gently, "without having to bear the name of master, disciple or elder, just because we have the same high ideals, and I think you are the most worthy person in the world. Trusted fellow travelers.”

"Are you willing, Pei Ye?"

"." Pei Ye was stunned.

"You can get back to me in two days." Sui Zaihua shook his sleeves and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll help you pay the money and let you sit in the carriage."

"." Pei Ye touched his head in confusion.

"Then, I'll explain to you what's going on right now." Sui Zaihua straightened up, the wine in the pot was drained, and the old man's voice returned to calmness, "First, what you asked Fuyun to ask me two days ago I received the news, Li Mingqing rejected Jianhan, so he didn’t come to Fucheng.”

"."

"Secondly, it is the arrangement for the compilation of the Jade Sword Platform. Tonight your name will be spread, and tomorrow the Immortal Terrace will issue a medal for the Battle of Huanshulou, and your name will be on it. The compilation will end the day after tomorrow. At that time, we will teach you the merits on the Jade Sword Platform."

"I would like to give you this position when the time comes." Sui Zaihua handed him an official document that had not yet been sealed. "The 'idle position' that Cheng Yuanqi mentioned to you was actually the newly established [Shaoyu Supervisor] that I proposed."

"On behalf of the king, he patrols the hunting grounds and regulates the rivers and lakes, including Kongtong Luoying Mingzhu and other factions. This position is indeed just a sinecure. All its power comes from [Dayu Supervisor], but [Dayu Supervisor] is me." Sui Zaihua said, "Actually, when you advance to Xuanmen, I want to hand over the entire Shaolong Jianghu to you."

"."

"Again, it doesn't affect your going to the Shenjing Martial Arts Competition. You can live there for a few months every year. Anyway, I want to go there later." Sui Zaihua smiled, "That's it. You think about it yourself. If you have any ideas, we can discuss it."

"Ah?" Pei Ye raised his head in surprise, thinking he could chat with the old man all night, "Are you still busy? You've stopped hanging your seal."

"This is not something that is necessary for duty," Sui Zaihua raised his sword and smiled slightly, "but I have to do it."

".What?"

"Tonight the plan for Immortal Terrace is completed, and tomorrow night we will give [Sima] a chance." Sui Zaihua looked at the young man with dark eyes and pursed his lips, "If possible, we can end Qu Zhu and completely destroy the Huansi Tower. "

Pei Ye stood up subconsciously, but Sui Zaihua just waved his hand to him: "Let's go."
