refuse to be a teacher

With a clang, Ya Ling got out of the sheath.With the tip of the sword facing forward, Ling Ran pointed directly at the man's throat.

Standing on the same spot with arms folded on the pillow, his complexion did not change, and his eyes never showed any ups and downs.

The Ya Ling sword touched nearly half an inch of his neck.Xue Lan raised her eyes to look at him, and her dark eyes were also cold and frightening.

"You guessed it?" He asked with a smile.

"I didn't guess it." Xue Lanyin said word by word, "I already know it."

"Lingtai One Sword Sect and Changxingju have long been at odds - this has always been a well-known thing in Guli town in the southern region. Afterwards, Changxingju was brutally attacked by local mobs, and in To a certain extent, it is supported by the behind-the-scenes support of the Lingtai One-Sword Sect." Xue Lan said, "Wen Pianhong single-handedly released the 'heavy reward' at the beginning, but now that Changxingju is facing the desperate situation of being pushed down by the wall, it is even more important to listen to it. Privately instructed by the Taishan side."

"Then... I dare to ask Brother Cong, where did Mo Fuqiu rush to send the invitation document to Changxingju earlier... Where did it come from?"

There is no need to speculate.At that time, he came all the way from Guli Town from his pillow, but he never brought back any news, nor did he find out the specific whereabouts of Yun Zhehuan.

He was empty-handed and unscathed, but he wanted to look exhausted and downcast.

Xue Lan should have figured out where the problem was, but everything went smoothly, and the road was bumpy and difficult, forcing him to forget that there was such a wild wolf with thick fangs beside him.

"The invitation letter from the Lingtai Yijian Sect was forged by you." Xue Lan stared at the pillow, "Including the chaos that night at Changxingju, you also expected it early in the morning."

Never said a word, just looked back at him with a smile.

"In fact, along the way, most of the things that happened around us are under your control, and there has never been any change."

I don't know when it started, and it's hard to calculate the exact time.A person like Cong Zhen stood silently at the top of all the events they had experienced, with a blank expression on his face, calmly overlooking the surging undercurrents at the bottom.

He seems to have never been contaminated by anything, but in fact, behind almost every devastating disaster, there is a figure of him trying to add fuel to the flames.

Because Xue Lan didn't want to use a more extreme mentality to wantonly speculate on the friends and relatives who had been with her for a long time.But the facts have proved that once some roads reach the corner of the cliff at the end, no matter how innocent people seem to be, they will inevitably be stained with a little bit of filth.

"I don't want to go back to the past, and I don't want to find out what role Brother Cong played in every life-and-death moment in the past." Xue Lan said, "From the present point of view, Brother Cong, Ever since you left the Baiwu tribe in the northern region, you have tried to lead me and my master...to a narrow road leading to the fire pit."

From beginning to end, always.

Because some sudden crises in the middle were caught off guard, for a long time to come, Xue Lanyin and Yan Jue almost forgot that there was such a person who appeared and disappeared like Congzhen.

He was like a sharp hook hidden in a dark corner—soundless and without any trace to be found.

When I thought about it afterwards, I realized that he seemed to have clean hands and did nothing, but he often did everything, but it was easy to be ignored temporarily.

At that time, he still looked at him from the pillow with a smile, that smile was as calm as a pool of stagnant water with no ups and downs.

In my memory, such a Baiwu tribe would always stay in place calmly, and neither mountains of swords nor sea of ​​fire would disturb him in the slightest.

He lowered his eyelashes, looking up at the three-foot-long cold sword on his neck.After a while, he still smiled fearlessly: "...Brother Lan Yin is actually very smart."

clever?

It is indeed a good thing to say.

——But that was too ironic for Xue Lanyin himself.As if deliberately pointing out his carelessness and mistakes all the time, the presumptuousness contained ridicule, meanness and a bit of cruelty.

Xue Lan was never a mild-tempered person.Even if he sent the Ya Ling sword a little further, the blood would splatter three feet from the pillow, killing him right under his nose.

But from the pillow, it seemed that Xue Lan would not do this, he didn't move at all, and he didn't show any sign of retreating.

Indeed, Xue Lan moved an inch closer because she was no longer persistent.He looked into a pair of eyes that looked like an infinite abyss, trying to find something out of them.

It's a pity that those eyes can't speak, and any emotions are buried deep in the bottom that cannot be penetrated.Because Xue Lan couldn't find what he was looking for, she simply asked, "Why?"

Never pretending to be crazy with him, just said: "Why do you think?"

Xue Lan shook his head as he stared at him indifferently—to be honest, he couldn't tell.

Long ago, Yan Jue had doubted Cong Zhen's purpose and motive.A young and intelligent person who is willing to live under others for the rest of his life, being a slave-like deputy with no honor.

Said he was simple - and he was not simple.Most of the time, with a kind of rationality that is difficult for ordinary people to have, standing beside Yun Zhehuan, it can be said that he is a life-saving talisman with no desires or desires.

Say he is cunning—he is not that cunning.From the beginning to the end, he did a lot of things secretly, but he never deliberately harmed any of his companions in the true sense.

But it is undeniable that from the moment they first met, such a person as Zhenzhen has been promoting the operation and development of the whole situation behind the scenes. The same is true for a house that is destroyed once and turned into ashes.

"At the beginning, outside Zhuxiaozhuang, I invited my master to follow the trail of Jielongyin with you. Later, in the underground space of Guli Town, I used my existence and my master's existence to successfully lure Gouhuo from the Lingtai One Sword Sect. Wen Pianhong of more than twenty years."

Glancing at him from the pillow, he said casually, "...it's me."

"You have successfully completed the mission and brought Jielong Seal back to the Baiwu tribe in the Northern Territory. But this is not enough. You want to break the seal, but you don't want to lose your own life—so later, Miss Yun went down to the dark room alone to meet with my master. Confrontation, you clearly knew it, but you deliberately didn't go to stop it."

——As a result, Yun Zhehuan was poisoned by the poison, and was forced to bear the strong suppression brought by the Jielong Seal with the weak body of a woman.

In order to save her life, she had no choice but to leave the Northern Territory and travel across mountains and rivers to Changxingju in the southeast, trying to seek help from Yi Shangxian.

Pausing from the pillow, he smiled lightly and said, "...it's me."

Xue Lanyin also sneered, and continued to say: "It's just that you didn't expect that Wen Pianhong would come out to disrupt the situation on the way—now that the person is gone, and the Jielong Seal is also gone, so you start to mess up."

"No, this point...is actually within the scope of my consideration." Narrowing his eyes from the pillow, he corrected him with a smile and explained, "I know, Wen Pianhong, before the new head took over, he didn't I will attack Zhe Huan."

Xue Lan raised her eyebrows and said, "You know everything?"

"Yes, I'll make sure he won't do anything irrational." From the pillow, he said clearly and forcefully, "Because to crack the Jielong Seal, you need to use the living sword clansman...he failed to find the living sword clansman, it is impossible to hurt Zhe Huan half a point."

He suddenly became sincere, which made Xue Lanyin a little unaccustomed to it.

"I just want to find Zhe Huan's whereabouts as soon as possible before Wen Pianhong rushes to attack... For this reason, I even pin my hope on Senior Yi." Spreading his hands from the pillow, he said helplessly, "... But as you can see, he's indecisive, which is really disappointing."

"so?"

"Even if you knew that Wen Pianhong would definitely do this, would you still allow someone to set fire to the Changxing Residence...?"

Xue Lanyin hooked her lips.The next moment, again without warning, the cold light of Ya Ling's long sword reappeared, and he swung forward suddenly—almost trying to cut the soft and deadly skin from the side of the neck of the pillow.

"Even if it ended up like this, you still haven't forgotten to hide behind to lure me and master to settle in this ominous place?"

Yan Jue had just recovered from his injuries, but on top of that, another layer of frost was added.Cheng Bi has no strength to restrain the chicken, so it is lucky to save a life in the cold current.

It's hard to imagine that under such circumstances, the pillow is still trying its best to attract and push people to the very center of the vortex.Let’s not talk about the fact that Changxingju was covered by fire before, but after that, I prepared two steeds with painstaking efforts, and traveled a long distance all the way to the outside of Guli Town, but I arrived at such an extremely secretive and dangerous place.

Xue Lan was shocked and astonished, but felt hatred and anger.

Anger is anger at all the things Congcongzhen has done so far; hate is hating myself for being too dull, for not being able to detect the unbroken clues around me earlier.

There are so many flaws, just because no one has discovered the strangeness in the complicated process of confusion.

"What the hell are you... stubborn about?"

He doesn't understand, really doesn't understand.Why is a powerful man with such a thoughtful mind so obsessed with setting off huge storms that harm others and himself in a dark corner that no one can see?

He can even personally withdraw himself from the target of public criticism.

——Before the words fell, another sword tore through the surrounding airflow, turning into light and shadow and rushing straight to the vital point of the pillow heart.

Because Xue Lan's attainments in swordsmanship are not very deep, but the strength is indeed capable of killing people, and in addition, the space in the inn is narrow and difficult to move. When she folded back from the pillow, her back hit the door panel heavily, creating a dull feeling There was a loud bang.

Xue Lan took the opportunity to raise his arm to suppress it, and the sword edge flew forward obliquely, facing the center of the eyebrows, which is the slight distance as wide as a thumb. A defenseless forehead.

Xue Lanyin is no longer the playful and smiling Xue Lanyin who shrank behind Yan Jue earlier.He is never friendly to others, let alone leave half a way out for fellow travelers with ulterior motives.

——However, Congzhen is still the very calculating Baiwu from the beginning.

He kept retreating, so that his heels touched the threshold, almost pushing the door open an obvious crack.

"Brother Lan Yin, I think we can have a little discussion."

The point of the sword was pressed between the eyebrows, and he glanced sideways at the quiet and narrow room behind him from the pillow, and then smiled and said to Xue Lanyin: "You don't want to disturb Mr. Yan's sleep, and I don't want to lose my life here..."

"Don't you want to know, from the beginning to the end, why I have to do this?" He said calmly, "I can take you to a place - when you get there, you will understand what I did... What is my intention? .”
