Chapter 146: The Master and the Servant Are Ruthless
Chapter 145 Master and servant are ruthless
In the attic, flames rose and the hot high temperatures roasted the table.
However, Shangguan Qingsong was even stronger.
He didn't see any movement, but the strong wind was protecting him, and the spirit could not be broken.
The two sides suddenly became stalemate.
Xingyu faced more than a hundred guards. Although the space was limited, they could not come up together, but at this moment, nearly ten guards also used swords to deal with Xingyu.
Tu Xinlan's eyes became colder and colder, and she paid close attention to Xingyu.
She thought it was easy to kill Xingyu, because Xingyu had already taken the Scattering Star Pill, and at this time she was afraid that she had no cultivation.
However, what she didn't expect was that just as the guard's sword flashing with a cold light was slashing towards Xingyu, it was suddenly all swept away by a huge amount of water vapor.
The water vapor became more and more intense, like a big wave. The huge impact force instantly scattered the guards. The walls of the attic were knocked into pieces, and many tables and chairs in the attic were smashed.
One wave of guards was disbanded, and another wave was raised. However, their attacks were all the endings of flying backwards.
They had no way to get close to Xingyu.
The God-level combat skills are nine battles. Although Xingyu only practiced the third level of the Star Palace with water attributes, flooding Chentang. However, the power is absolutely powerful, far from comparable to these guards.
"Miss, you are loyal to the land, and loyalty is really commendable. But this is the Lord's Mansion, and you are going to kill my wife. If I, Shangguan Qingsong, let me do this, will He Yanran lead the province of Tianfu in the future?"
Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Qingsong suddenly hit him with a blow, and a palm shadow suddenly attacked the spirit.
The palm shadow was three feet tall and powerful. Under its impact, all the layers of flames flaming from the wings of the seven-eyed fire spirit were broken.
In the end, the palm shadow fell on the spirit.
The spirit's body suddenly flew backwards, hitting the attic wall, and immediately spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"You are not my opponent, and I don't have to fight again. I have no intention of hurting you, but this place is my Lord's Mansion, but you can't tolerate you."
Shangguan Qingsong looked at Ling with a serious expression and looked at Xingyu. At this time, Xingyu was fighting with the guards.
"Stop it all!"
With a loud shout, all the guards stopped and retreated aside.
Xingyu also stopped. Seeing Ling's situation, Xingyu's eyes suddenly turned cold, but he shook his head to Ling and signaled Ling not to take action.
"Xingyu, what happened today was wrong in my lord's mansion. I lord apologize to you here. Although my husband is harmful to you, it is understandable that he avenges his son. I hope you can understand that you have not suffered any harm in today's work. Why not just expose it?" Shangguan Qingsong bowed his fists to Xingyu.
"Okay, since Lord Shangguan said this, I have nothing to say. I, Xingyu, will give you a face, and this matter will be revealed. Ling, let's go!"
Xingyu didn't hesitate and walked over to help Ling up, and the two left.
"Why don't you retreat quickly?" Shangguan Qingsong shouted, and the guard retreated.
Tu Xinlan looked dissatisfied, "Qingsong, how could you let them go?"
"Hmph." Shangguan Qingsong didn't give Tu Xinlan a good look, and shouted coldly: "If I had known that you were so sinister, how could I, Shangguan Qingsong, marry you back then. I'll give up this matter. Next time, I won't blame me for not thinking about the relationship between husband and wife." After that, Shangguan Qingsong left, leaving Tu Xinlan with a look of hatred and You Dawei Young Master full of helplessness.
"Auntie, let's forget about this." Young Master You Dawei was frightened and his forehead was covered with sweat.
"Forget it, how can I swallow this tone? He Xingyu dares to hurt me Qi'er, I will definitely make him pay the price. Didn't Shangguan Qingsong ignore it? Well, I will ask my father to take action. I, Tu Xinlan, don't believe it. My Tu family can't even deal with him, a small Xingyu."
------
"Ling, how are your injuries?"
Walking back to the guest, Xingyu asked with great concern.
Ling shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Young Master, my injury is not serious, just take a rest."
Ling's face was extremely cold, and she was obviously still angry about what happened in the lord's mansion just now.
She said in a cold voice: "It's a pity that the leader is not here, otherwise she would definitely be able to kill the young master today."
Xingyu said: "It is understandable that the lord's wife is willing to avenge her son. Since I have not suffered any harm this time, if they no longer cause trouble for us in the future, I will forget about this matter."
Xingyu has never been a person who is unreasonable. He seems to have a kind of tolerance in his personality.
Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Listen to the young master."
Soon the two returned to the inn.
Hongwu was also there, sitting there drinking tea.
Seeing Xingyu coming in with Ling, Hongwu immediately saluted Xingyu.
"Shangguan Qingsong's cultivation has reached the Nebula Realm, and he has the Hurricane Star Soul. It's normal for you to be injured by him."
Hongwu stared at Ling and said, "If he is determined to kill you, you will not be able to resist his attack. I am afraid that if I don't say this, you also understand that as the leader of the Eighteen Cavalry of the Heavenly Heaven, you should focus on protecting the young master and obey the young master's orders in everything. When the young master does not give orders, you can take the initiative without authorization and do things so recklessly.
If you do this, how can I feel at ease to hand over the young master to you for protection?"
"What the leader taught is that the spirit dared not." Faced with Hongwu's reprimand, he had no complaints.
"Okay, this matter will not be an example. If there is another time, I will not let you go and recover from the injury first."
"Yes." Ling Xiang retreated outside the room. Xingyu wanted to go forward to support her, but was stopped by Hongwu.
"Young master doesn't have to do this, Ling's injury is not serious." Hongwu poured Xingyu a cup of tea.
"But······"
"Young Master, you must understand that you are the Lord and she are the servant. Everything she does for you is the right thing to do, but you must not do anything for them, including me. The meaning of our existence is to protect you and help you succeed, not to get rid of you."
"But..." Hongwu's words made Xingyu unable to deal with it.
Hongwu said: "Young Master, you will be a person who will do great things in the future. You not only need to find out the murderer who killed the prince and rectify him, but also take over the prince's great responsibility in the future. Although our identity cannot be told to the world at the moment, it will happen one day.
Young Master of the Realm, you will have absolute rights. With millions of subordinates, how can you be so kind as a woman? You are not suspicious of your subordinates. Just actions are good, so you must not treat them like this.
People who do big things must be cruel and have the potential to cut off their arm before they can accomplish things. Even if one day someone threatens you with our lives, you cannot compromise, do you understand?"
"Uncle Hong, I understand what you said, but I don't agree with your words. Ling loyally protects the Lord, how can I ignore her? Not only Ling, but anyone among the Eighteen Knights in the Battle of Heaven, I have regarded them as my brothers and friends, and you, I have regarded you as an elder and a relative. If you are in trouble, how can you ignore me?
Is it so hard that my father was as you said back then, and he was cruel to his subordinates?"
After a long time, Hongwu sighed and said, "You and the prince are so similar. Both your father and your son value love and friendship, like brothers, friends, and subordinates. This is the glorious side of your personality, but also your shortcomings."
"Whether it is the advantages or disadvantages, I, Xingyu, only do my own things and only follow my wishes. I will definitely not do what Uncle Hong said. Please forgive me."
"Yes." Hongwu sighed and stopped pestering this matter.
After a while, he suddenly asked, "Young Master, what are you going to do about what happened in the Lord's Mansion today?"
Xingyu was stunned. He just wanted to ask, how did Hongwu know?
As if I could see Xingyu’s thoughts, Hongwu said: “When things happened today, I kept spying on it in secret, so I knew something.”
Xingyu nodded and said, "Today's incident is indeed the fault of the Lord's Mansion, but fortunately we have no losses. I think it's up to them to avenge Shangguan Qi."
Upon hearing this, Hongwu said: "The young master is generous and can not pursue this matter, but I am afraid that the lord's wife will not let it go. Shangguan Qingsong is the only daughter of the Tu family, a large family in the province of Tianfu, and is loved by the Tu family. Moreover, because the Tu family has no son, he is very fond of Shangguan Qi, the grandson.
The young master has now abolished Shangguan Qi's cultivation level, but I am afraid that his Tu family will not give up."
"Uncle Hong, what do you think we should do?"
Hongwu Tao: "Watch the changes."
"Watch it happening?"
"Yes, if it's just a butcher family, as long as the young master gave me the order, I will take someone to destroy it. But after all, they have something to do with Shangguan Qingsong, so you should not act prone in this matter, otherwise it will be troublesome to offend Shangguan Qingsong.
Fortunately, Shangguan Qingsong is upright, and today's incident has made him dissatisfied with the young lady of the Tu family. But if we want to deal with the young lady of the Tu family, Shangguan Qingsong will definitely not agree, so we have to wait. When the Tu family takes action, perhaps at that time, Shangguan Qingsong's mind will be weaker when he protects her. If we deal with her in the realm, or even kill her, we will not offend Shangguan Qingsong too deeply."
"Uncle Hong, you said that Shangguan Qingsong was my father's subordinate back then, and my father had the kindness of knowing him. If I told him my identity, would he still stop him?"
Upon hearing this, Hongwu hesitated a little, and after a long time he shook his head and said, "This is what bothers me. To be honest, I don't know. But because of this, I want to see if Shangguan Qingsong is still the same Shangguan Qingsong back then, with his own bottom line in doing things, and whether he can still give up for what he sticks to in his heart.
If at that time, he would really stop protecting her because the eldest lady of the Tu family was wrong, maybe the young master could tell him your identity. If he didn't do that, it would be better not to say it. Maybe he has changed. Then telling him the truth is very likely to bring danger to the young master. After all, we suspect that the murderer who harmed the prince may be the royal family of the Xingwu Dynasty.
Well, Young Master, you don’t need to worry too much about this matter. What you have to do now is to win the championship of this competition, to win the Nine-Turn Blood Coagulation Pill, and to make your own reputation for it and lay the foundation for what you will do in the future."
"Don't worry, Uncle Hong."
Xingyu focuses on the key points, he will definitely win the championship, but in Xingyu's heart, he is just for the grandfather and the old man.
As for what Hongwu said, Xingyu didn't know what he was referring to, and Xingyu didn't know what Hongwu was planning, but there was an intuition telling Xingyu that no matter what Hongwu did, he would not harm him.
