" I had the senior sister inform Senior Qian that we had returned, and Senior Qian would surely immediately inform Senior Dai. Brother, you still need to come up with a reasonable reason to tell them why we suddenly disappeared."
"Otherwise, you might not pass the inspection with Senior Dai," Siyan said again.
"I remained silent, but my mind was constantly thinking," I said.
Siyan's words were indeed not something to be taken lightly. In He Yōu Tiān's eyes, I held great importance, and I couldn't let him down.
"Do you think I should tell him about Sun Zhuo's actions?"
"I suddenly asked Siyan."
Siyan paused for a moment before saying, "I don't know."
"Just that, I might have a hunch."
"I indicated to Siyan to say."
Siyan only then informed me that she believed Senior Dai could hold out at least because he did not want the Four Guardians Mountain to fall into chaos.
If it were outside the mountain gate, he could have a fight with Zheng Ren! A battle to the death, avenging his master, whereas if he were to say it within the mountain gates, that an elder had been killed by the current elder, then the entire Four Regulations Mountain would undoubtedly be thrown into turmoil.
Someone would definitely believe him, and someone would definitely believe Zheng Ren, causing the Four Regulations Mountain to divide.
This charge, no one can bear, and the Four Regulations Mountain also can't take such a big risk.
What he most wants should be for Zheng Ren to leap off the Thunder God Cliff.
Sun Zhuo is from the Tianshou Temple, which is enough to make Zheng Ren leap off the Thunder God Cliff.
Adding to the murder of his master, allowing Zheng Ren to die on the Thunder God Cliff, is a kind of indulgence towards him.
This would also be the best outcome for the Four Regulations Mountain.
Home affairs should be kept within the family and dealt with by oneself.
Siyan extended the topic far beyond my immediate comprehension.
Then, she brought the topic back, saying, "But Zheng Ren can't jump off the Thunder God Cliff. If Sun Zhuo has an issue, that is his best charge. If Sun Zhuo can be exposed in public, his identity revealed, then even if Zheng Ren doesn't die, he might as well, otherwise the dignity of the Four Regulations Mountain cannot be restored."
"This matter can be told to Senior Dai, and Senior Dai will definitely believe you. I know, Brother, you are using the matter of Sun Zhuo to explain our departure?" A bright light shone in Siyan's eyes!
I nodded, but my breathing was slightly heavier.
I also understood Siyan's words.
To confront Senior Zhiyuan about the issue of Sun Zhuo and to discuss it with him together could force Senior Zhuo to reveal himself, thereby killing Zheng Ren.
If this matter is resolved, it will be a double success!
But there is a premise for this!
That is, Zheng Ren will commit suicide because of this problem!
A teacher for a day, a father for life.
Could someone who could kill their teacher without mercy end their own life out of shame or guilt?
I feel like it's very difficult, almost impossible.
Moreover, according to Siyan's idea, unless everything is clarified and Zheng Ren is directly killed, the situation is unsolvable...
Zheng Ren is currently in seclusion, which might be due to his guilt.
After all, the thing he used to kill people has been lost, and Senior Dai Zhen's body has been found again.
Moreover, it is almost certain that he deliberately exposed our location at that time, using ghosts to kill people!
Rubbing the center of my forehead, I told Siyan that I indeed wanted to use the matter from the Tianshou Temple to explain why we had suddenly left.
Just that, the result she mentioned was too idealistic and impossible to achieve.
Siyan lowered her head slightly, and when she looked up at me again, there was a touch of helplessness and bitterness in her eyes.
"Of course, those are just my speculations. It's also possible that Senior Dai has been unable to contain himself for a long time. However, he believes that revealing the truth to Zheng Ren in the presence of all his fellow disciples and sisters is necessary. He would be taking the risk of splitting the Four Regulations Mountain by directly executing Zheng Ren. Now that no one knows the situation, only after you talk to Senior Dai will you understand."
I know the reason for Siyan's low spirits.
This is like a pot of rice with a cockroach in it. You have to pretend you don't see it and eat the rice anyway.
That's enough to make one feel sick.
"Let's go up the mountain. I will accompany you to see the senior brother. I will tell him everything and bring out the real Four Regulations Mirror." I opened my mouth again and spoke to Siyan.
Siyan made a humming sound and nodded her head.
Siyan didn't ask about what I was going to say.
On the way up the mountain, I was also constantly sorting out my thoughts, thinking about how to say it most seamlessly.
There is one more thing that I'm afraid I can't do as Mao Sanhao suggested.
For instance, he had said that after I made the Four Regulations Mirror, I should tell him, and he would tell me a place where, upon bringing the mirror there, someone would kill Sun Zhuo.
Since Sun Zhuo has become useful, he cannot die so arbitrarily.
Mao Sanhao only wanted the body. I just needed to hand over the body to him.
The Four Regulations Mountain is very high, and it takes a long time to climb. An entire night passed quickly, and by noon the next day, Siyan and I finally arrived at the mountain gate.
As soon as I saw, a figure stood majestically at the entrance of the mountain.
Wasn't it the one wearing a red robe, He Yōu Tiān?
His hair and beard were completely white, fluttering slightly in the wind.
As soon as he saw me and Siyan, a joy immediately appeared in his eyes. However, his whole face turned serious afterwards!
Siyan lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong, not daring to speak.
I took a heavier breath. If He Yōu Tiān didn't get angry at Siyan and me for leaving without saying goodbye, that would be strange.
As I walked up to He Yōu Tiān, I felt a sense of nervousness in my heart due to his stern gaze.
"Little brother, why are you not wearing the Taoist robe that I gave you, nor do you have a mask?"
He Yōu Tiān's first question was not about where we had gone, but about this matter.
Then, as he scanned over me with his gaze, he furrowed his brow and said, "Although there were no major injuries, there were many internal injuries. Did you use the Tianlei technique? It has affected your lifespan?"
"You, this child, heed my warnings not to use the Tianlei technique. I told you a thousand times that unless it is the right time and place, do not use it. Yet you are too young and too arrogant, choosing to use such a secret technique?"
"Lamps are finite, and if they burn out early, that means death comes early! Do you want me to lose my black-haired son?"
He Yōu Tiān's speaking speed was astonishingly fast.
Indeed, there was a thick layer of anger in his tone.
I know, I have really angered Senior Zhiyuan...
He hasn't asked me the reason for my departure yet.
While pondering, I was about to kneel down.
In my entire life, I've only kneeled to one person, except for Lao Qin.
And the series of events that He Yōu Tiān has been going through with me, deserve my one kneel.
Only by doing this, I might be able to calm his anger and then I can speak the matter out in order.
Just as I was about to kneel down, He Yōu Tiān suddenly grabbed my wrist and lifted me up.
"What are you doing? Do you think I want you to kneel down and confess your mistakes?"
"I am not that narrow-minded. The reason for my anger is that you used the Tianlei technique, which damaged your life force. I will accompany you on this journey to break the bones of that demon and scatter its ashes to the wind!"
