"No comment..." Yue Yanzhi said four words coldly.
Xia Shang was not surprised by Yue Yanzhi's attitude. He thought for a while and whispered: "Although your injuries are serious, they are just superficial wounds after all. As long as they are treated properly, they will get better in a few days. After you recover,
, and what are your plans?"
Unexpectedly, Xia Shang changed the topic and asked such a question. Yue Yanzhi was a little surprised and didn't know how to answer for a long time.
Previously, he had wanted to return to the south of the Yangtze River. Under the protection of the noble clans and disciples, it would not be a problem whether he spent the rest of his life in peace or found another job.
But after experiencing so many hardships along the way, Yue Yanzhi really hasn't thought about what he will do next. All he has been thinking about is that he has survived until now, so where can he think about anything else?
Seeing that he was silent, Xia Shang continued: "As for me, I have indeed received an order to take your life. But the imperial court is not willing to let you die in the hands of the imperial court, so I have always wanted to use the hands of Jianghu to deal with you. But...
...Now I am willing to give you a way to survive."
"..." Yue Yanzhi looked at Xia Shang blankly, feeling very surprised by every word he said now, "How to survive?"
"Keep a land of mountains and rivers honestly, enjoy the rest of your life, stay away from the world, change your name, and think of Yue Yanzhi as dead."
"Why? What is your purpose?" Yue Yanzhi didn't believe that the people in the imperial court would be so kind. Even his own brothers didn't intend to let him go. How could the imperial court's hawks and dogs let him go like this?
"Purpose?" Xia Shang smiled, "What purpose can I have? If you want to say the reason, just think of it as my overflowing sympathy. I have followed you and observed you a lot along the way, and found that you have nothing.
In a place where great evil is committed, it should be easy to kill someone like you, but just because it is so easy, it makes me reluctant to do it. As for the secret hidden in your heart... If you don't want to tell it, just don't tell it.
As long as you promise me to keep this secret forever and not let others know."
Xia Shang's words were quite sincere, and both Yue Yanzhi and Shangguan Chan could feel that he was not joking.
Yue Yanzhi still couldn't completely believe it because he didn't understand the young man in front of him, but Shangguan
After listening to Xia Shang's words, Chan knew that this man was serious and asked him a little strangely: "Have you really made up your mind?"
Xia Shang nodded and smiled helplessly: "After all, I can't be an emotionless killer..."
"How do you explain to the court?"
"How can we explain this? Just say that Yue Yanzhi is dead... As long as this person changes his name and hides in a small mountain village forever, no one will know the outcome of the matter."
Yue Yanzhi listened silently without saying anything. In his opinion, the current group of people were just using the same method as Ke Sanke, and there would be more suffering waiting for him in the future.
Xia Shang glanced at Yue Yanzhi. He naturally understood the other person's inner thoughts, and without any explanation, he gave Yue Yan the medicine and turned around to eat.
After eating, Xian'er came to Xia Shang's side and whispered softly: "Master, do you want to try using voodoo? To deal with him alone, there is no problem in using voodoo."
Xia Shang shook his head: "Take him back to Mingjiao and let him live there for a while. When everything calms down and he wants to leave, let him leave."
"Ah? Is what the young master just said true? Are you really going to let him go like this?"
"Forget it, it's just an old man who has suffered so much. There is no point in continuing to struggle. Since he has never revealed his secret, he will not tell others in the future. As long as he can keep the secret, he will live and die.
What's the difference? It turned out to be a small thing, all because of a random legend, and so many things happened, which made me tired. Let's end this matter, and don't create any more complications.
"
Xian'er didn't say anything else. She saw the deep tiredness in the young master's eyes. Maybe the young master was not only tired at this time, but actually felt somewhat guilty in his heart, right?
Xia Shang did feel a little guilty, because his words caused such a big disturbance in the world, and so many people died. He was more or less closely related to Xia Shang, let alone what Xia Shang was doing.
The situation I hope to see.
Xia Shang was thinking, if he had known this, he might as well have killed Yue Yanzhi from the beginning, so that everything could end without anyone knowing, and it would not have caused such trouble now.
Shangguan Chan came over at this time and sat down
Next to Xia Shang, his brows furrowed: "I still want to know what's behind this."
Xia Shang was a little surprised and looked at Shangguanchan.
Shangguanchan continued: "My fellow sects suffered countless deaths and injuries because of this secret. How can I feel at ease if I don't know what's behind this?"
"Being too persistent will only make yourself more miserable, so why should you..."
"I know, but I still want to know."
Xia Shang understands Shangguanchan's mood. The Honghua Club has all its masters this time, but only a few people have died. Now except for her and her apprentices, there is no news from anyone else. Xia Shang himself would not be like this.
Quick to let go.
"If you really want to know, then come back to Mingjiao with me. In Mingjiao, Yue Yanzhi will not be in any danger. You can also ask him properly during this period. But... from my point of view, Yue Yanzhi
He has suffered so much torture that he has not revealed his secret. I am afraid it will not be easy for a woman like you to open his mouth."
"Come back to Mingjiao with you?" Shangguanchan frowned.
"Since you are so persistent, you can only follow my arrangements. I believe you don't want any more accidents to happen, right? Moreover, judging from your situation, you can't do it without resting for a while. In my realm
, naturally I can take the best care of you.”
"..."
"What? Are you so afraid of going to my realm? Are you afraid that I will eat you?"
"How dare you!" Shangguan Chan's eyebrows were raised, a little dissatisfied, "Just go! But after that, you have to find a way to find the whereabouts of my eldest brother."
"Don't worry, when you get to Mingjiao, you will be the wife of the leader of Mingjiao. There are thousands of brothers in Mingjiao who are at the mercy of the wife of the leader."
Seeing Xia Shang's triumphant expression, Shangguan Chan felt that he had been deceived. Now that he was separated from his own people and had nowhere to go, he needed a place to stay and then slowly look for his own people.
With the decision made, the group felt at ease.
I thought that the road back to Mingjiao from here would not be peaceful. After all, there are still many people looking for Yue Yanzhi's whereabouts recently.
But unexpectedly, the journey back went smoothly without encountering any difficulties or obstacles. After five days, we finally returned to Mount Zhaori, where the Ming Cult is located.
