[New Peerless Double Pride 3] Over the years

Back in the backyard, in front of the bedroom door, Xie Xinghen stood where he liked to stand, with the purple scarf I gave him, and seemed to be patiently waiting for me to appear.

"You haven't been to the bamboo forest for a long time." When he saw me, he spoke first.

I was a little flattered, because firstly he took the initiative to find me, secondly, he took the initiative to talk to me, and thirdly, he actually started to take the initiative to care about my whereabouts.

I smiled at him, full of helplessness in my smile, but I couldn't show it, just like when I looked at Jiang Wuque, I would think of how sad Jiang Yun's fate is, but now looking at Xie Xinghen, it reminded me of Jiang in the prison cell Wu Que is so helpless.I was sandwiched between this father and son, obviously I did nothing wrong, but it always reminded me of a very appropriate word to describe myself - to help the evildoer.

"What's wrong with you?" Xie Xinghen asked me who was suddenly in a daze.

"It's okay...you said Zhulin, I've been too busy recently, you know...that person in the cell..."

That person, referring to Jiang Wuque, mentioned him specifically because he wanted to see Xie Xinghen's reaction.

Lived up to expectations, Xie Xinghen's expression froze obviously, hatred, anger, intolerance, worry, worry flashed in his eyes... a series of dozens of different expressions, just a prisoner, but it made the usually indifferent and calm The young master of Qiuhuang Palace was stunned for a moment.I can only say that the Palace Master is about to accomplish his great achievements. The father and son now have a deep hatred and hatred, and it is hard to imagine the future.

"By the way," I asked, "You came to see me, what's the matter?"

Xie Xinghen replied to the gloomy and taciturn young master again, looked up at me, and said flatly, "I'm here to say goodbye."

"Farewell?" I was flattered once again, the young master of Qiuhuang Palace had never seen me before when he went out and greeted me in advance.

He stopped talking, making it clear that he wanted me to ask questions, so I could only ask again: "Where are you going this time?"

"My adoptive father wants me to worship senior Jianxie as my teacher. I will leave today and return after I finish my studies."

"Study successfully..." I read these two words lightly. Whoever goes out to study art has not studied for ten or eight years, so this farewell seems to have a bright future.

I don't know whether I should be disappointed or happy that he is finally away from the place of disputes in Emperor Qiu's Palace, so I wanted to behave more freely, not wanting to be too concerned, let alone being too nostalgic. Don't try too hard, no one wants your life, and remember, if you are injured, you must go to the doctor as soon as possible."

The eight-year-old nodded yes, but his expression was still flat and indifferent.

"Relieve star hatred."

He was silent, waiting for me to continue.

I thought for a while and asked, "Is this apprenticeship for the purpose of honing swordsmanship?"

"Yes."

"Then listen carefully... Although I don't know swordsmanship at all, I know that to accomplish something, the first thing is to have no distractions, so... no matter how much you hate that person in the cell... And no matter how heinous things the Palace Master said he had done, can you... can you let it go for a while and don't always keep it in your heart?"

Xie Xinghen's pupils dilated slightly when I finished asking the last few words.That kind of expansion is not obvious, it is the result of my meticulous observation. I saw that not only did his eyes change, but even the center of his brows frowned involuntarily. The expression of a person who has always been indifferent, even if he hates and hates, shows They were all about the same cold, so when he frowned, I knew the answer would disappoint me.

As expected, he replied: "Jiang Wuque and Jiang Xiaoyu's pair of brothers harmed my whole family. Xie Xinghen never dares to forget this debt!"

"But he..." I couldn't continue, I could only sigh.

But Xie Xinghen smiled at this time, a bit against his will, slightly raised the corners of his lips and eyebrows, raised his one-inch hand, and gently touched my hand, as if wanting to comfort, but the words As soon as he said it, it sounded more like a threat. "I know you're kind enough to persuade me," he said in an adult tone, but his voice was a child's voice, "Only this matter, I hope you don't mention it again..."

I understand that there is no room for negotiation. I also understand that no matter who has lost his parents since he was a child and became an orphan, and has been instilled with hatred since he was a child, no one can ask him not to hate his enemy, let alone let go.

"A word for you." I took his hand and wrote on his palm:

cloud.

"cloud?"

I nodded, "The cloud is very good. Everyone says that it is free and straightforward, and it is a state that is difficult to achieve."

He looked down at the palm of his hand, it seemed that the fingertips of my writing just now were stained with ink, and the word "cloud" was still left on it - he slowly clenched his ten fingers into fists, and said slowly in a childish voice that couldn't get rid of: "... I will remember what you said."

"Then how about you promise me one more thing?"

He raised his eyes, and I chuckled: "Whenever this kind of moment comes..." I bent over and put my arms around his not-so-broad shoulders without his consent, "There is a tradition in the Sun family. Embrace each other until the next time we meet again, you hug me back, which means meeting again..."

But Xie Xinghen, I tightened my arms, the thin child who needs others to protect him is more dull and mature than me, an older person. For a moment, I really want to know whether he will be serious or serious when he grows up. How cold is it... just to relieve Xinghen, I hugged him tightly, when you come back, maybe everything has changed.

Xie Xing hates to walk on this side, and the uninvited guest on the other side immediately follows.

After knocking on the door, he went straight in, "Jiang's father and son have a very deep relationship with you." The first sentence they met, the puppet master said a smile that he didn't know whether it was a compliment or a sarcasm.

"What did you see again?" I'm not going to waste any time with him. This man is like a snake. It's useless to hide in front of him, because he always appears with a purpose. Everyone takes what they need, and if it's about benefits Anything other than that is unavoidably hypocritical.

"I haven't seen anything, so you don't have to be afraid." He comforted him, but his cat-like eyes stared at me intently, gloomy and penetrating.

"Do you still remember that you owed me a favor?" He asked, curling the corners of his lips to clarify his purpose, "I want to ask you for it this time, but you don't need to panic, everything I want you to do will be done. It's all very simple." After a pause, he continued: "Now I give you two choices, one, I want Jiang Wuque's past, in every detail, even including his unknown secrets; There are two kinds of medicines, one is chronically poisonous and cannot be cured; the other is to instantly increase the skill, regardless of the cost...these are the two things," he said in a deep voice, "you choose the one."

Hearing him clarify his purpose once and for all, I stared at him quietly without saying a word, trying to find even the slightest clue from his calm face, but to no avail.

If it is said that the palace master is uncertain, and the gentler his voice, the more ruthless his attacks, then this puppet master from Jeju, from the beginning to the end, only makes people feel ruthless. What he wants to do, what he wants to get Even though I haven't met him a few times, I already have a very clear awareness, just like what he said, he doesn't care about the price.

"You asked me to do one of two things for you, so should I ask clearly, first, why do you want Jiang Wuque's privacy, and since it is a secret, how can I know? Second, If I dispense medicine for you, who are you going to use it on?"

The puppeteer shook his head, apparently feeling that my question was not very clever, he stretched out a finger, and the index finger penetrated into the jade. "If you want to destroy a person's will, the best way is to find the biggest knot in the person's life, and then infinitely magnify it - and for a person with a firm mind, puppetry is not a panacea, if you want to perform it successfully, The step of shaking his will is inevitable."

I moved my lips, but before I could make a sound, the puppet master already guessed what I wanted to say. "Don't worry, why did I ask you to do this, because here and now, Jiang Wuque's side... is only you."

"..."

When he stretched out his second finger, he didn't say anything this time, just spit out two words: "Hall Master."

"Hallmaster?" I couldn't figure it out for a moment, but suddenly thought of the second question I asked earlier—"Hallmaster?! What did you say? Is it the Hallmaster?!" I didn't expect my reaction to be so intense, even Even I was taken aback.

"Why?" I asked, "Aren't you doing something for the Palace Master? Why are you plotting poison behind your back? How dare you?!"

"You don't need to worry about this." Half of the secret has been revealed, and the puppet master obviously doesn't want to explain any more, "You just have to choose now, whether to betray Jiang Wuque or the master of Qiuhuang Palace?"

Is this a test?I calmed down and confessed in my heart that it was the puppet master's cold voice that caused my sudden heartbeat to calm down as if a scoop of cold water had been poured on it.

betray?This word is too serious. I can't even talk about loyalty to either the Palace Master or Jiang Wuque, so how can I betray?

"I don't agree." I replied, "Both of these things are beyond the bottom line of my life...I don't agree." I stopped, but saw the puppet master looking at me and not expressing my opinion. I didn't want to talk to him anymore. But he couldn't help but add another sentence: "You are just threatening me with my excuses. If I am not afraid of you going to inform me, but turn around and accuse you of plotting to poison the Palace Master in private, you think the final result will be yours. Die first, or I die first?"

The words have already been opened, the puppet master stood quietly and looked at me, he didn't seem to feel threatened at all, he is not stupid, he will not be taken advantage of by me in this kind of verbal dispute, if I go to inform, I will die by then It must be me who suffers the worst.

The other party finally smiled at this moment, and the smile was extremely indifferent, just like his naturally cold expression, "If I were you, think about Jiang Wuque, and he would work extra hard when making poison." Even his voice was so cold In his heart, it seems that human life is never worth a dime in his eyes. "Think about it, if the Palace Master dies, Jiang Wuque can live, isn't it a good thing?"

"In order to save one person, harm another person?" I sneered, "Is this how you confuse people?"

"You're wrong." The puppet master's expression remained unchanged, "It's not just about saving one person, but about saving all the people who are about to die at the hands of the Hall Master, and perhaps among those people, you are also included."

The wording of reminder and threat made me shudder, because these words were all right, and there was nothing wrong with them.In the past, I always thought that I was a doctor, not a sage, and I thought it would be better to save one person than to harm another, but I forgot that it is easier for the palace master to kill people than to chop vegetables, and to destroy a sect of others, what comes out at every turn is hundreds of souls .

"Think about it carefully." The puppet master didn't force me, but took a step back, "Actually, it's right to choose the first thing, and you wouldn't want to see Jiang Wuque die in prison, would you? It can’t be implemented, that day is probably not far away, sooner or later, you won’t be able to save him in time.”
