Fairy, please let me explain

Chapter 739 Questioning the Heart
The drizzle caused by the strong Qi was only temporary after all. In less than half a day, the forcibly torn rift in the cloud layer in the capital area disappeared without a trace.

The thick rain clouds stretching for thousands of miles are spectacular.

The autumn rain began to fall again.

The mountains and waters of Dayan are very beautiful, covered with a gray-green veil in the rain, like a smoky ink painting.

The silence was suddenly broken by a middle-aged man, who came from above the clouds, with gray hair and black clothes that were not stained by rain or dew. He fell directly into the rolling mountains.

Unlike the picturesque beauty I saw, when I got closer, the mountains and forests were filled with the smell of decay, animal carcasses, and rotting leaves, but fortunately the rain washed away most of them.

The raindrops hit the lush forest with a creaking sound. Xu Yinhe walked in this uninhabited forest, stepping on the dead leaves on the ground and moving upwards.

As he moved forward, an invisible force opened up a path in the pathless woods. His steps were slow, but his speed was extremely fast. Some of the natives in the forest just saw this uninvited guest and looked at him with vigilance, but the black-clad figure had already disappeared.

Count your breaths from time to time,

Xu Yinhe had already arrived in front of a cave.

The entrance of the cave was several feet wide, and the inside was dark and gloomy, like the mouth of a giant man-eating beast.

Walk in, till the end,
Looking at the burly old man sitting cross-legged on the boulder, Xu Yinhe did not speak immediately.

The Qi in the cave was visibly disturbed by the burly old man's breathing. Only when he stopped practicing and opened his eyes did everything return to calm.

Finally, Ran Jianli spoke first. Looking at the middle-aged man in black in the darkness, his tone was helpless:

"Xu Yinhe, you are really good at hiding. During this Northern Hunt, I always thought that Li Yaoxuan was the host of the Hongmen Banquet, but I never thought that you, old man, were the strongest person on the field."

Xu Yinhe walked slowly closer and stopped about ten feet away:
"Li Yaoxuan is not weak either."

Ran Jianli narrowed his eyes, and said with some emotion:

"It seems that you really have thought about killing the king in the Royal Dragon Forest."

Xu Yinhe did not deny it and said:
"It doesn't matter anymore."

"That's right, so our Prime Minister, are you coming here specifically to kill me?"

Ran Jianli teased with a smile.

He is not a serious person, never was, his age has made him more stable, but his temperament remains the same.

Xu Yinhe's expression was quiet and his voice echoed:

"If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have let you go in the first place."

Hearing this, Ran Jianli thought for a moment and asked casually:

"Speaking of which, what method did you use before? Although the vibration of Qi when you and I fought was strong, it was not enough to hide the traces of the universe magic of your hanging ring. At such a close distance, with Li Yaoxuan's cultivation and eyesight, he should be able to see the clues."

At the moment when the news of the incident from Di An arrived,
A fight broke out between the two.

For saintly cultivators at their level, the rough results of strength, weakness, victory or defeat can actually be determined at the moment of fighting.

The moment the magic and the heavy sword collided, Ran Jianli realized that he was no match for the prime minister, and the gap was quite large.

Although there is no absolute in a life-and-death fight, the gap between him and him has already exceeded this limit.

Ran Jianli was not very desperate at that time.

Instead, I thought,

This damn Xu Yinhe is just like that damn Xu Changtian, both of them are full of nonsense.

On the night when the Sword Master fought against the Supreme Sean, he actually said that he hadn’t defeated Feng Jiuxuan in twenty years. If he hadn’t fought before, he wouldn’t have won, right?
They are indeed father and son.
He is the same bird as that damn Xu Yuanzhen.

But knowing the gap is one thing, and fighting to the death is another.

If someone wants to kill him, he can't just sit there and wait for death.

Ran Jianli took death lightly, and before coming to the capital, he had already prepared for life and death. But just when he was about to fight with the prime minister, he felt a wave of cosmic magic enveloping him.

At that moment, Ran Jianli was completely stunned.

I even wanted to send a message directly to ask Xu Yinhe what he was doing.

But it all happened so fast.

There was no time for him to ask, no time for him to react.

There is only one choice.

Either accept this Yu Dao technique and be teleported to some place by Xu Yinhe for an unknown purpose.

Or he could use his Qi to break free from Yu Dao's magic and stay in Huanglonglin to fight to the death with Xu Yinhe.

Two choices,

Choosing the former, although the reason is unclear, there is hope.

If he chose the latter, he would surely die unless the emperor and his troops joined him in beating Xu Yinhe. Moreover, if Xu Yinhe was determined to kill him, the emperor and the troops might not be able to stop him.

So, Ran Jianli chose the former.

He wanted to see what Xu Yinhe wanted to do.

He spent half a day thinking a lot, and now the other party came to his door as he expected, so he directly asked what he was thinking:
"Besides, why did you teleport me away?"

Xu Yinhe stood there quietly, speaking softly:
"Li Yaoxuan's attention was attracted by other things, so he couldn't sense the fluctuations of the universe. As for why he didn't kill you, it was because there was no need."

"no need."

Ran Jianli frowned slightly, looking at the calm expression in the darkness. The other party's contempt made him slightly angry, but he felt helpless, and sighed softly:

"That's all. Was Li Yaoxuan's attention drawn? Was there something else present at the time?"

Xu Yinhe did not answer this question.

After all, Ran Jianli missed the target by a hair's breadth and could not sense the existence of God's will.

In that case, it’s better not to answer.

Just said:
"When I said it was unnecessary, I didn't mean to insult you."

Ran Jianli knew that the other party didn't want to talk, so he waved his hand in the dark and said:
"So, why don't you kill me? If I return to the Sword Sect and show myself, all the determination you and your three sons have shown will be wasted."

Xu Yinhe shook his head and said firmly:

"you will not."

Ran Jianli narrowed his eyes and laughed loudly:

"Hahaha, although I am an old man with a lazy nature, I am the leader of the clan alliance after all. I will not just fake my death and walk away."

Seeing that the other party was asking knowingly, Xu Yinhe directly changed the subject:

"The sect alliance was established based on the law of immortal taxation. For other matters, there are internal strife and constraints. You need to use your death to unite the sect and prevent some insects inside from thinking of appeasing me."

The sect alliance is too idle, and the trend of "even if my friends die, I would rather die than suffer the consequences" is prevalent. All sects and factions are thinking about their own interests and believe that the court will eventually compromise.

But the same,

There are also sober senior leaders among the clan alliance.

They knew clearly that the prime minister would never compromise.

War is bound to come.

Therefore, they need the death of a person of sufficient importance to wake up the dreams of those who intend to appease the people in the sect alliance!
Ran Jianli came to the capital just to die.

After Xu Yinhe revealed the purpose of his coming to Beijing, Ran Jianli gradually stopped smiling and said, "So, you are planning to let me go back first, and then announce the news of my fake death?"

"maybe."

Xu Yinhe did not deny it.

Ran Jianli's eyes were solemn, and he grinned:

"If you spread this news, how are you going to explain it to the royal family? Aren't you afraid that Li Yaoxuan will suspect you of usurping the throne?"

Xu Yinhe shook his head and said calmly:
"You and I are different."

"."Ran Jianli suddenly fell silent.

Family members know their own business. Ran Jianli knows very well what the situation is like within the sect alliance. If all the sects in the world knew that the prime minister secretly let go of the doomed national teacher Ran Jianli, how would the situation develop?

The key is,

The daughter of my family, the chief disciple of the Sword Sect, is indeed having an affair with that damn Xu Changtian.

Ran Jianli really didn't know how the Tianyuan Sword Sect, as the leader of the sect, should deal with the situation at that time, and how he, as the leader of the sect, should explain himself.

The Prime Minister's Mansion does not have these concerns.

Because it is backed by the prestige and credit that Xu Yinhe has accumulated over the past decades.

and,

If Li Yaoxuan didn't trust Xu Yinhe, how could he have allowed him to grow so strong?

After a long silence, Ran Jianli sighed:

"Prime Minister, your sinister plan is really vicious. Are you looking for me now to get evidence?"

Although there was a fierce internal struggle within the clan alliance, if Ran Jianli stayed in his den and faked his death, it would be impossible for others to believe the one-sided statement of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

So, Xu Yinhe needs evidence.

He has clear evidence that Ran Jianli is still alive.

Thinking of this,
Ran Jianli had already thought about committing suicide.

Although Xu Yinhe is strong, if he is determined to die, the other party cannot stop him.

Looking at the sturdy old man whose legs had not yet been repaired, Xu Yinhe shook his head slightly:

"If I were to do this, you would kill yourself."

Speaking of which,
Xu Yinhe paused for a moment, signaling the other party to disperse the Qi that was about to explode, and then continued:
"So I won't force the evidence, and the Prime Minister's Office also needs you to stay in the dark to contain those hidden sects. If you die, if the Sword Sect falls, the sects in the world will be without a backbone, and will soon be merged with those hidden sects, which will be disadvantageous to our court."

"Why do I feel like the more you talk, the more I want to die?"

Ran Jianli suddenly smacked his lips and whispered.

"."Xu Yinhe was silent.

"It's just a joke."

Ran Jianli grinned upon seeing this, raised his hand to stroke his white beard, and whispered:
"Since you don't want to kill me and don't want to collect evidence, then why are you looking for me? You are not a person who would do such a futile thing."

If Xu Yinhe had not come in person to tell them what the two had just said, Ran Jianli would have been able to infer it through the interests involved, but he would never be as certain as he is now.

Xu Yinhe answered this question very straightforwardly:
"I promised Changtian to give him a chance."

"Chance?"

Ran Jianli's expression suddenly became strange, and his confusion was evident in his words: "Do you want him to convince me to bring the Sword Sect to join your court?"

"I don't know."

"what?"

"I only made a promise. I don't know what he wants to do."

"tsk"

Ran Jianli sighed lightly, with a look of disdain, but suddenly realized something, stared at the middle-aged man in black robe, and said:
"What if he thinks differently from you?"

Xu Yinhe pondered for a few breaths, chuckled, and said calmly:
"It's up to him."

"."

The sound dissipated in the dark and silent cave.

Ran Jianli's pupils constricted at these words and he was unable to utter anything for a long while.

Based on Xu Yuan.

Are you kidding me? !

Those in power do not use this method to cultivate successors and exercise excessive power.

"call"

Suppressing his disordered emotions, Ran Jianli exhaled and sighed:
“You really do trust him, and you’re really anxious.

"Prime Minister, why do you have to act on your own?
"If there were no war, wouldn't it be nice for you and I to be in-laws in peace?"

"."

Xu Yinhe's eyes were silent, as calm as if he was looking at a fool.

Ran Jianli shook his head indifferently:

"Haha, don't take your words of regret seriously. Although we haven't known each other very well in this life, I also know that people like you will never give up the long-cherished wish you have fulfilled in your lifetime.

"But now that we've come to this point, I have a feeling that we will never see each other again in this lifetime, so I'll just get the conversation started. Actually, I've been curious about you ever since you became famous.

"Xu Yinhe, can you answer a question for me?"

"."

Xu Yinhe was silent for a moment and nodded:

"Master, please speak."

Ran Jianli took a deep breath and looked directly into the other person's eyes:

"I remember that you were originally a disciple of a sect family. What made you want to change your mind back then?
"Is it because of the common people in the world?"

After these words were spoken, the cave fell silent.

The middle-aged man in the black dragon robe fell silent after hearing this. He seemed not to have expected the other party to ask such a meaningless question, and he seemed to be lost in memories of the past.

The answer to this question is really too far away.

So long ago,
As the prime minister of Dayan for decades, he almost forgot it.

Time passed by,

I do not know how long it has been,

Xu Yinhe's sighing voice slowly sounded:

"Yes and no, it doesn't matter anymore."
