Reborn Enemy

In Biyou Palace, monarchs and ministers confront each other.

Nanzhu looked at Jun Muzhi in front of him coldly: "What do you mean?"

Jun Muzhi knelt on one knee, but his back was straight, and his expression was calm: "The underwater passage has always been a secret of Penglai, and the young master cannot bring outsiders in."

"Brother Gu is not an outsider," Nan Zhu said in a deep voice, "He is my savior! Without him, I would not be where I am today, not to mention that he won't have bad intentions, even if I did, I still owe him my life of."

Jun Muzhi said: "The young master owes him, but Penglai doesn't owe it. To be disrespectful, if he asks for Penglai Island, does the young master really want to pay the whole of Penglai?"

"Penglai was originally mine!"

"Not at the moment."

"You!" Nan Zhu smashed the table next to him with a punch.

Jun Muzhi is not afraid: "The young master revealed the secrets of Penglai, have you ever thought about the old island owner? Have you ever thought about the old officials of Penglai who followed you loyally, have you ever thought about those of us who follow you? The young master doesn't care about Penglai Island. , why did you come back, why did you have to fight with Guo Feng?"

"Are you accusing me?"

"Don't dare, the subordinate is just telling the truth."

If he told Duke Pingcang, the matter would be completely lost.Nanzhu gritted her teeth, and her tone softened: "I can take you into the passage, but I don't treat you as an outsider. Brother Gu is my benefactor. I have let go of my words. How can I go back on my word? You should also be considerate of me."

"Your subordinates made the young master angry, the young master can punish the subordinates, and you don't have to compromise." Seeing Nan Zhu's face turned ugly, Jun Muzhi sneered slightly, "Muzhi and his grandfather received the old island master's kindness, and never dared to go beyond. I don’t even dare to persecute the young master. Everything I do is for the sake of Penglai Island. The young master has great ambitions and still needs someone’s support. You might as well write down my crime of disobedience today. In the future, the young master will rule Penglai Island. , I would like to leave Penglai from then on.”

Nanzhu's face was livid: "Is this kind of person in your eyes?"

Jun admires him without saying a word.

Nanzhu walked in front of him, and suddenly calmed down: "After so many years of friendship, you actually look down on me in your heart, right? You serve me as master, but it's because of the order of Lord Pingcang."

Jun Muzhi said: "Subordinates dare not."

Seeing the unfamiliar young companion in front of him, who may have never been close to him, Nan Zhu was silent for a long time, and said, "Although you have flaws, you are ten times more resourceful than me." He seemed to be mocking himself, "I do act impulsively." , the words are a little heavy, but I have always regarded you as a brother sincerely! Mozhi, even if you look down on me, don’t you and I have played and practiced together for so many years, and we don’t even have any friendship?"

Jun Muzhi looked at him, his eyes dimmed.

Act impulsively, but speak words to win people's hearts.How tolerant can ambitious people be?In front of him was the lurking East Sea Flood Dragon, who was no longer the boy who had just landed on the island.

The identity is doomed, and the friendship is constantly worn away in this kind of fear and conflict. How much can be left in the end?

"It's my subordinate's slip of the tongue," Jun Muzhi lowered his eyes, "Don't worry, young master, this subordinate will handle this matter properly, and will never make things difficult for the young master."

Nan Zhu hesitated to speak, "Forget it, it's up to you."

Jun Muzhi got up to leave, and the guard outside the hall suddenly announced loudly: "Master Duan Liu and Brother Gu are back."

Both the monarch and his subjects were taken aback for a moment, and then quickly restrained their expressions.Nan Zhu swept the debris of the wooden table away from the corner with a wave of her sleeve, and then sat down on the chair in the middle.

Jun Muzhi turned around, unfolded the fishbone fan in his hand, and looked at the two people who came in with a smile: "You two are back so soon, is your trip going well?"

Gu Pinglin remained silent, Duan Qingming smiled and thanked: "I'm sorry, I just met my father, thank you Jun Lingshi for sending someone to escort you all the way."

Jun Muzhi didn't feel any embarrassment when it was revealed that he sent people to monitor him, he said "you're polite" generously, and let the two of them sit down: "Why is Brother Gu's complexion not so good?"

Nanzhu hurriedly looked at Gu Pinglin: "But the water and soil on the island are not suitable?"

Gu Pinglin shook his head: "It's okay, it's just that the cultivation is not smooth."

Cultivation issues can only be understood by oneself.Nanzhu tactfully stopped asking, but just reminded him not to rush for success.

When the tea was served, Jun Muzhi said: "I have something embarrassing to report to the young master. The two of you came just in time. I'm afraid I need to discuss this matter with the two of you."

"Oh?" Duan Qingming put down the teacup, "Brother Jun, please tell me."

Jun Muzhi frowned and said, "Brother Duan, do you know the Four Treasures of our Penglai Town Island?"

"Penglai Four Treasures, who doesn't know?" Duan Qingming said, "Unfortunately, apart from Binglun and Nan Shaozhu's Shenyi Xiao, I have never seen the coral wood and dragon fish roe."

Jun Muzhi smiled and said, "Brother Duan has heard of dragon fish roe?"

"I have heard a little bit," Duan Qingming said, "It is said that dragon fish roe is a fierce beast born of Jiaolong and belly fish. In the past, there was a dragon fish roe in the East China Sea, which was tamed by the 140th sixth-generation island owner of Penglai and became the guardian beast of Biyou Palace. "

Jun Muzhi clapped his hands and praised: "Brother Duan really has a lot of knowledge." He sighed again, "To be honest, Longyuzi not only guards Biyou Palace, but also guards a secret underwater passage."

Duan Qingming said: "Could it be the secret path that Young Master Nan said?"

Jun Muzhi said: "Exactly, that secret road is a shortcut to the sea, guarded by Long Yuzi, who has a fierce temperament, only Penglai Shenyi Xiao can control it, and Shenyi Xiao is in charge of the island owner, but the young master Shenyi The flute has not yet reached its peak, originally the dragon fish roe was lethargic in this season, the young master planned to take you to a shortcut, but I just sent someone to investigate, and found that the dragon fish roe was awake."

The two were taken aback when they heard the words, Gu Pinglin looked at Nanzhu, but Nanzhu remained silent.

Jun Muzhi said apologetically: "The Chaotic River is now occupied by Night Crying Monsters and Eye-eating Gulls. The young master originally wanted to use the secret path to take everyone away, who would have known... Sigh!"

Duan Qingming also sighed: "What a coincidence, it seems that the secret path can't be walked."

Jun Muzhi nodded: "Now we have to follow the old path of the Chaotic River Valley. The Night Crying Monster and the Eye-eating Gull are both fierce beasts. I wonder if the two of you have a good way to deal with them?"

Gu Pinglin said: "Of course, they must be defeated one by one."

"I think so too," Jun Muzhi said with a smile on his face, "These two kinds of beasts have some origins, and even the overhaul of the inner alchemy would be a headache if they are put together in one place, so we'd better divide our troops into two groups. Alchemy realm, with the help of Young Master Qi Thirteen and Brother Yao, it is expected that he can be alone."

A ferocious beast is a ferocious beast, the snake hook was so powerful back then, if it wasn't for Yanque's exit, the two would have been unable to fight.The Night Crying Monster and the Eye-eating Gull have occupied the chaotic watershed for many years, and the inner alchemy overhaul can't kill them, and everyone can drive them away for a while.

Duan Qingming praised: "This plan is very clever, the envoy of the king is resourceful and thoughtful." Speaking of this, he showed a look of embarrassment, "But, the Night Crying Monster is a high-level beast, after all, our number is too small... "

Jun Muzhi said straightforwardly: "Leave the Night Crying Monster to us in Penglai, how do you deal with the Eye-eating Gull?"

He took the initiative to take over the big trouble of crying monster at night, Duan Qingming really smiled and said "Okay", and asked with a side face: "Junior Brother Gu, what do you think?"

Gu Pinglin glanced at Nanzhu and had no objection.

Jun Muzhi suddenly said: "Liu Yugong and Minglan Shi are on the island, grandfather and Shun Shigong can't leave, the young master's strength is also insufficient on this trip, I would like to ask Brother Gu to join us."

Nanzhu was surprised and looked at him.

"The young master also wants to catch up with Brother Gu," Jun Muzhi smiled, "The eye-eating gull is an intermediate-level beast, and it's not difficult for you to deal with it. Brother Duan won't mind if there is one less person?"

Seeing that Gu Pinglin was silent, Duan Qingming withdrew his gaze and said slowly, "Of course, no."

"That's it." Gu Pinglin stood up.

After the discussion was over, Jun Muzhi personally sent the two of them away, then he put away his folding fan, went back to the hall and said to Nan Zhu: "There is a return reef between the Eye-eating Gull and the Night Crying Monster. To lure away the Night Crying Monster, and then go back to Penglai and take the secret path, Brother Gu asked, the young master just push it on me, I can handle it myself."

Nanzhu said: "You..."

"Since the young master trusts him, it is also a favor to bring him there alone." Jun Muzhi interrupted him, bowed, turned and went out.

Over there, the monarch and his ministers have made arrangements, and the two here return to the guest room by themselves.Gu Pinglin was silent all the way, and Duan Qingming didn't speak a word. The two walked side by side on the corridor, and in front of them were the familiar benches and coral flowers. In this situation, Gu Pinglin remembered that he had pretended to be drunk and teased himself before, and his heart was full of emotions. Yi Lin.

In his previous life, he never took himself seriously, and what he did in this life was even worse. Has his "rival" also become his object of entertainment?

Gu Pinglin couldn't help but stop: "Duan Qingming."

Duan Qingming stopped.

Gu Pinglin tried his best to be calm: "There is no need to continue the game."

Duan Qingming said "hmm": "You are not my opponent, it's good that the game ends here."

Not his opponent?Gu Pinglin squeezed his trembling hands in his sleeves and sneered: "You don't have to provoke me, let alone try anything."

"You think too much," Duan Qingming said with a smile, "I'm usually not interested in testing people who have already given up."

Gu Pinglin looked at him suddenly: "I admit defeat?"

"You think I'm letting you down," Duan Qingming also turned sideways and faced him, "As an opponent, if you have this idea, aren't you admitting that you are inferior to me?"

Gu Pinglin mocked: "You didn't let me?"

"Not to mention, our current strength is comparable, I just don't want to lose both."

"Are you afraid of getting hurt?"

Duan Qingming asked back: "Why not?"

Gu Pinglin said: "If someone can hurt you, shouldn't you be happy?"

My old enemy, who can understand him better than myself?This person dared to test his sword with a ferocious beast, hook and snake in a mere Qi Refining Realm. It can be seen that he is bold and crazy, whether he will be injured or how many people will die is not in his consideration.

"You know me very well," Duan Qingming said unhurriedly, "but now we are friendly brothers and sisters, we should care more about each other's safety, don't you want that?"

Gu Pinglin sneered: "This statement comes from the heart, I should accept it, but you Duan Qingming said such a thing, it is too hypocritical."

"Hypocritical," Duan Qingming nodded with a smile, "It seems that this is the me you know, or is it the Duan Qingming you knew before?"

"Is there a difference?" Gu Pinglin said, "Now you, do you care about the friendship between brothers and sisters, or do you care about sects and families? The Dao is ruthless, what did you care about? In your eyes, I am just..." Realizing too much Excited, Gu Pinglin stopped to calm down for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "If one day I am gone, for you, it will only be the beginning of finding your next opponent, you will still pursue the way of swordsmanship, and you will still break through the realm and soar, won't you? "

Silence.

The sea outside the corridor is calm, and the black eyes are as deep as the sea.Duan Qingming looked at him without refuting.

Gu Pinglin didn't know what he cared about, but when he thought of how he had worked so hard in his previous life, he was played with. The so-called enemy was just a joke. After reliving his life, he was trapped by his obsession, but that person had already ascended perfectly. desolate.

The two stood opposite each other, neither of them speaking.

Silence.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Pinglin withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked on another path.

"The game continues," Duan Qingming said suddenly, "It doesn't matter whether I care or not, you are still the person I believe."

There is no difference between the tone and the memory, and it is still impossible to tell whether it is sincerity or a game.

Gu Pinglin paused slightly, but walked away without looking back.
