Liang Yu's move caused a change in the atmosphere on the court again.
I clearly captured the looks on Liu Taixian and Zhang Zhiyi's faces.
When she gave Chang Xin a slap, there was a clear delight in both their eyes. However, when Liang Yu pleaded for mercy, even kneeling down directly, the joy in Liu Taixian's eyes turned cold and hard, and Zhang Zhiyi was the same. Moreover, his eyelids trembled slightly as if he had been shamed.
Lao Gong made a soft exclamation.
Wu Jinluan sighed slightly.
The reactions of the two were not directed at Chang Xin, but rather because of Liang Yu.
Even I cannot determine whether it is purely because of Liang Yu, or if they are trying to divert the attention of Liu Taiyan and Zhang Zhiji to shift the blame.
Setting aside their intentions, I noticed a hint of trouble.
About the issue regarding Liang Yu.
Previously, her attitude was ambiguous, not just baffling to Chang Xin but also difficult for us bystanders to grasp. It felt like she was playing both sides.
In fact, her personality is probably like this, very straightforward.
When I first met Liang Yu, she was the same, very casual and lacking in boundaries. Her words were especially out of bounds, which led the Liang family to mistakenly think she had some intention with me.
This sense of boundaries is even more blurred here in Iron Sect Mountain.
The first reason is the issue with Liang Yu.
The second reason is that Zhang Zhiyi has a crush on Liang Yu, and he, too, has put on an act.
He seems to treat Liang Yu like a younger sister, but that is not the case at all.
Liang Yu herself is dull-witted and cannot feel it, but Chang Xin clearly feels it.
However, just because he has always thought this way in the past doesn't mean he can continue to do so forever, especially with someone else fanning the flames, and that person is even the Deputy Abbot of Iron Sect Mountain!
Chang Xin, this little celestial messenger, can only be toyed with.
The most innocent is him.
Liang Yu represents a type of person, who isn't really at fault, but is simply not a suitable match for Chang Xin.
As I reached this conclusion, Liu Taiyan waved his sleeve and coldly said, "Xiao Yu, don't think that because we……”
"Grandpa Taiyan, do it according to Xiao Yu's wish," Zhang Zhiyi spoke up, and his eyes were still doting.
But, this is too fake!
We can all see through the pretense, but Liang Yu doesn't realize it. She is overjoyed and even sheds tears.
"Alas, you're such a child…… Why do you have to go this way?" Liu Taiyan looked helpless and sighed.
One of them played the stern face, and the other played the kind one, acting in unison and treating Chang Xin as an idiot.
"Alright, Chang Xin, go back to the team. I will still accept you as my disciple in the future, but you must practice in seclusion for five years and cannot leave. You have not only lost the people of Iron Sect Mountain but also betrayed Xiao Yu." Liu Taiyan pointed at Chang Xin again.
"Yes, thank you, Deputy Abbot." Chang Xin was grateful.
After standing up, he had intended to support Liang Yu.
However, Zhang Zhiyi had taken a few steps ahead, already helping Liang Yu up and using a handkerchief to wipe away her tears.
Chang Xin's body stiffened, and he didn't say much, only lowering his head.
The other spiritual messengers and Taoist priests looked at Chang Xin with a trace of contempt, and everyone continued their rest.
Liu Taiyan and Zhang Zhiyi didn't bother to talk to Chang Xin anymore, treating her like an invisible person.
Only the little old black woman kept staring at Chang Xin, sniffling her nose every now and then, as if she was a little repulsed?
"Look at how embarrassed you've become? Life is about accepting what you deserve, it's a great resource. You should feel justified in receiving it, and not eat this kind of humiliation. You were splattered all over, oh no, by an animal." Old Gong chewed his lips and scolded Chang Xin.
"Thank you," Chang Xin bowed to us.
The word "thank you" was clearly not due to the scolding by Old Gong.
It's a kind of... roundabout way of...
Announcement!?
"He's gone mad, he's even grateful for being scolded, hahaha." Old Gong's voice was loud.
The old black woman's bear-like eyes swept over us, and we had nothing else to say. She finally seemed more at ease.
Chang Xin didn't stay by our side for long. He slowly moved over to Zhang Zhiyi's side and whispered a few compliments.
It was probably an apology, saying that he dare not speak much to the Deputy Abbot, asking Zhang Zhiyi to help instead, and thanking Zhang Zhiyi for his care and attention to Liang Yu.
Liang Yu remained silent beside them, and Zhang Zhiyi, naturally, had nothing but empty talk to say.
Zhang Zhiyi was very concerned about Liang Yu, as if he was as concerned about Chang Xin. In fact, he was pointing out Chang Xin's shortcomings, suggesting that she should be more careful with her practice.
Regardless of everything else, in my opinion, this seclusion for five years?
Liu Taiyan's purpose is as obvious as the meaning in the heart of Sima Zhao, everyone knows it.
Time slowly passed.
A streak of pearly white broke through the blackness of the night, and the sky, illuminated.
"Let's go," Liu Taiyan ordered.
The crowd was extremely cautious and maintained a circular formation to proceed forward.
The only change in layout was the addition of Chang Xin among the crowd.
Chang Xin was still quite close to Zhang Zhiyi.
Originally, it shouldn't be so close. Zhang Zhiyi "pity" Chang Xin and allowed him to follow close by, which meant that the white-eyed wolf was still around, and Chang Xin shouldn't be killed.
We returned to a place.
This was the necessary path to go down the mountain, a place where the mist was especially thick when ascending.
Here, the vitality is concentrated, and the originally prevalent fragrance of the immortal pill has disappeared.
Fang Shidong was destroyed, and no one refined the immortal pills. Of course, there was no fragrance of the immortal pill.
And from that mansion, Iron Sect Mountain took away all the immortal pills, further removing the scent.
Iron Sect and the others' vigilance reached its highest level, especially the little old black woman, which stood up straight like a human being.
Bears do this naturally, but her shoulders are very slumped, and her hands hang down completely. It looks far less robust than when she was lying down.
Even though I am someone who doesn't understand, I know that this is the moment when they are most threatening!
At this moment, a sharp and prolonged wolf howl suddenly resounded!
The howl of the wolf formed an echo in the forest!
Two swift sounds, as if two white shadows burst out of the mist and rushed towards our team!
"Be careful!" Liu Taiyan shouted in a low voice!
His shout was timely, but the difference in strength was too obvious. Two out maru spirit messengers were directly taken away by two white shadows!
The shrieks echoed in the forest, mixing with the wolf howl, making it even more piercing.
The white-eyed wolf is a real person-level being, not something that can be repelled by mere caution from the disciples.
Zhang Zhiyi's expression was tense. He suddenly recited a spell, threw out a few incense sticks, and his aura instantly changed, becoming thicker!
"Lu Daozhang, the immortality pill!" Liu Taiyan prompted in a low voice.
My pupil shrank slightly, but for a moment, I was in a state of indecision!
"Give it to me! Think about the overall situation!" Zhang Zhiyi roared in a low voice, his tone even carrying a hint of growling.
The little old black woman came straight towards me.
My eyelids jumped faster, and I made a decision instantly!
The Dan of Wusitang was not thrown towards the little old black woman, but directly towards Zhang Zhiyi!
Zhang Zhiyi's face was filled with joy as he reached out to catch it!
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
