"Go down, cultivate your path well, and do not let distractions affect you. If you have any problems or troubles in the future, you can come to the Six Palaces to find me. I will no longer live in the Ancestor Master Hall and will not be in long-term seclusion." He You Tian paused for a moment, nodded and said, "You should no longer mention matters of external evil to others."
"Student, follow orders." He bowed deeply to Xie Kai Sheng, then looked at me again with reverence, before turning and hurrying off in a direction.
He You Tian crouched down, intending to pick up the Song Fang's body and place it back into the jar.
I offered a hand to help as well.
"Did you kill him yourself? How was the process?" He You Tian asked me as if it were a casual conversation, with ease and relaxation.
I told him everything that happened on that day in detail.
I told him everything, including how all the ones raised by Song Fang were Green Ghosts, and how Tang Wu completely dominated the Green Ghosts. The only exception was the Wancha Xueli raised by Song Fang, which caused some variations.
As for Song Fang kneeling down and calling Tang Wu "Taotai," I did not withhold that from him either.
Finally, Wei You Ming fought against Tang Wu, and I took the opportunity to take Song Fang out of the murderous prison, kill him, and after Tang Wu came out, I told He You Tian in as much detail as possible about the process of chopping him into pieces.
"Taotai..." He You Tian combed his short beard and sighed slightly: "This is indeed something that Song Fang would do, making people feel disgusted, as if one's saliva sticks to one's hands."
I was taken aback.
He You Tian's description was very fitting, but it was quite disgusting.
"Little Brother, it is indeed hard work for you to do these things. First, come with me back to the Six Palaces. You should have many things to say. Let me make a soup for you first, and after you drink it, slowly tell them."
"Calling the Four Deities incantation has exhausted your potential. Using thunder in broad daylight further diminishes your lifespan. At barely over twenty, look at yourself; you're almost over thirty." He You Tian spoke again, his tone showing even greater concern for me.
The mountain wind is slightly cool, but He You Tian's words are very warm.
He picked up the jar with one hand and walked in another direction.
Over there, Si Yan, dressed in a white robe, is about to leave.
Instantly, my foot speed increased, and I ran after Si Yan!
He You Tian did not stop me, but slowly walked behind.
In an instant, I blocked Si Yan's path.
The two looked at each other, and Si Yan still looked the same as before, although there were no changes on the outside. Of course, that referred to her appearance.
In her eyes, Si Yan had grown a bit more mature and weary. All of these changes came together and turned into two words: disappointment.
It's not directed at me; it's probably like Xiang Ke, a disappointment towards the Four Regulations Mountain.
"Si Yan, don't go. Go with me and Master Brother to the Six Palaces. I have something very important to say to you." I spoke up in a deep voice: "I have something very important to say to you."
There was a hint of unease in Si Yan's eyes.
"There's nothing you can tell me, Lu Xian Sheng. I'm glad to see you back. The Four Regulations Mountain is your home, and that's enough."
Si Yan's tone also carried a hint of panic.
I hesitated for a moment, then understood... Si Yan must have misunderstood something?
"Si Yan, if Lu Xian Sheng has let you come, then come. Why do you say such meaningless things? Lu Xian Sheng hasn't said anything, so how do you think there's nothing to talk about?"
"The Four Regulations Mountain is certainly Lu Xian Sheng's home, but that's it? You little girl, you're not making things easy!"
He You Tian had already arrived behind us, his tone carrying an air of unwavering certainty.
I: ...
He You Tian misunderstood it too.
Last time, he was trying to arbitrarily match couples, but now, this misunderstanding cannot be resolved here.
"Let's go to the Six Palaces to talk about it. This matter is very important and closely related to Si Yan. Master Brother, you should also be present." I tried to guide them first so they wouldn't continue to associate.
Si Yan, however, slightly pursed her lips and lowered her head, saying no more.
The ice-cold Si Yan is now changing more.
"Hehehehe! If it's such an important matter, I naturally have to be there!" He You Tian laughed even more heartily.
I was completely at a loss for words.
After passing through many palace halls and seeing many disciples, they all looked up and talked to each other, gazing at me, He You Tian, and Si Yan. Their expressions were mostly curious, with a touch of desire.
Curiosity is the reason for my power growth, and the desire is the same.
The Six Palaces is a very small hall of Daoism, located near the Shangqing Hall, but much smaller than the Shangqing Hall. It is even less than the Lingguan Hall. If it were not for the horizontal board inscribed with the characters 'Six Palaces,' this place would look more like an ordinary large courtyard.
There is a cliff behind me, and several twisted peach trees are growing in between the house and the rock crevices. The trunks of the trees cling to the mountain and the walls, extending upwards towards the top of the building, with lush foliage.
There is only one hall in the Six Palaces, without any other rooms.
However, there are several doors visible inside the hall, all opening into the walls, meaning that the rooms were carved out within the mountain.
"The place where the true man closed his cultivation, that is the Six Palaces. However, since Zheng Ren took over, he likes to close himself in the Lingguan Hall, and this place has been abandoned for many years except for me."
"No one has come here, and there are no disciples. Lu Xian Sheng, if you have anything to say to Si Yan, you can say it freely. Master Brother will act as your mediator!"
He You Tian put down the jar, his tone even more cheerful.
I slightly closed my eyes, with a very serious expression, and said, "I killed Ma Yi."
"Hmm? Is that all you have to say? Killing someone is not a big deal, and since you killed the right person, why be so serious?" He You Tian's brow was initially furrowed, thinking that this matter was very small and that I was overreacting.
But his words were cut off abruptly.
Si Yan's ears were already slightly red, and she did not lift her head.
In that instant, she raised her head sharply and looked at me with eyes full of horror, shock, confusion, and disbelief!
"I... I killed Mao Yi, the True Man of Juequ Mountain, Mao Yi."
"The murderer of the seventh Elder, Mao Yi."
"I... I have avenged the seventh Elder."
I spoke at a moderate pace, trying to keep my tone steady and composed.
"You... This..."
"How could that be..." Si Yan's voice, too, was full of disbelief and confusion.
This completely overturned her understanding.
"Zhong Xiang Daoist, has intervened!?" He You Tian also realized what was going on at this moment. However, his brow furrowed and he shook his head, saying, "It's impossible. If Yunjin Mountain intervenes, then the conflict between Songqu Mountain is like being on opposite sides of the sky. It would necessarily lead to a bloodbath among the Daoist communities! Without mercy!" As he spoke, he mentioned Mao Yi's status as not just a true man but also the leader of a particular mountain gate.
"You... You didn't help Songqu Mountain. How could Mao Yi have... Did he do it with the hands of plague ghosts? You killed him while he was distracted by them!"
"Lu Xian Sheng, you, you're acting recklessly!"
He You Tian's face was as serious as could be. His brow was knitted into a tight knot, and he continuously massaged his short beard as he paced back and forth.
"No, Tang Wu knows that you killed Mao Yi. He directed you to return immediately to the mountain?" He You Tian paused again, and his gaze was particularly solemn.
