Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 211 Taking Care of the Heart
Accusations from relatives are always much more powerful than abuse from enemies.

This is also a common principle in the officialdom. No matter how bad the criticism from political opponents is, it is often indifferent, but two or three sentences of testimony from a close friend are enough to make a high official irrecoverable.

Turning his head to listen to Zhao Zhang's story, Sui Zaihua looked at the men and women on the field, his expression gradually dropped, and he looked at Shang Huaitong calmly.Obviously, the old man became cautious about this matter again.

Just as Luo Defeng had worried before, there is no need for evidence when it comes to reputation. As long as the old man prefers to believe in his heart, Shang Huaitong's journey to the Sword Academy will add countless new scrutiny and difficulties.

Can they survive it one by one, and do they have the time?
Under the pressure of Tianshan Cuiyu, everything is negative.

Sui Zaihua looked at Shang Huaitong: "What do you have to say?"

Shang Huaitong's face was already a little pale just now, but now it was even paler. He clasped his fists and whispered: "Sir, I have nothing to say about the betrayal of my dearest relatives. But the matter will not change just because I change my mouth to speak. Please still ask Your Excellency is aware that I have no motive to kill these two people."

Sui Zaihua was silent for a moment and looked at the woman: "It's true. Just now, everyone didn't believe this. Shang Huaitong also stated that his motives were unreasonable. This is true, so I don't doubt him; now that you speak, everyone will I tend to believe it again, and I also feel that there may be something fishy. However, the key point is still unclear - according to you, why did Shang Huaitong want to harm these two people? "

Qi Zhaohua said: "Please know that this person will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, and he definitely did not take the evil path because he was not on the right path - the two are rivals for the championship, and Zhang Junyu loves and trusts him wholeheartedly. For him, the conditions for doing evil are just It’s a reason to do evil.”

"So, Zhaohua," Shang Huaitong suddenly looked at the woman and said in a low voice, "Why don't I harm Bai Yuliang?"

"Mr. Bai is a leader in Cuiyu, so naturally it will be difficult for you to attack him."

"." Shang Huaitong suddenly laughed at himself, "Really? Have you always thought so?"

Qi Zhaohua was slightly startled.

She suddenly remembered the man's words "I have been misunderstood for a long time" when they just separated.

That should be his true feelings revealed, and it should also be the answer to this question.

But her affection for the man was just an act.

"You think that I don't have the absolute confidence to win in the ring, and I am worried that the leader will fall into the hands of others, so I want to harm all three of them, don't you? It's just that the environment is limited, so I only harmed two of them, and in the end I didn't. He is better than Bai Yuliang, he is such an ugly and courageous person." Shang Huaitong lowered his face, looked at the woman and said softly, "If I had known that I looked like this in your eyes, how could I have believed that you had anything to do with me? What about feelings?"

Qi Zhaohua remained silent for a moment - of course she thought so. If it was not Gu Guang but Bai Yuliang who liked Zhang Junyu, would Shang Huaitong let him go?

But there is no chance.

This is also the consensus of everyone. Pei Ye, Li Mingqing, and Bai Sibing. Everyone who has a glimpse of the pus under Shang Huaitong's cloak thinks that he is a poisonous snake and rat that cannot be seen in the light. He always uses insidious means to remove obstacles, and then Gain fame with ridiculous performances.

But after saying these words, Pei Ye did feel that something was wrong, because he suddenly remembered that if it hadn't been for the Tianshan incident, Qijiao had no intention of attacking Li Mingqing.

He looked at the court. Shang Huaitong had turned to the east court, straightened up and saluted with fists in his hands: "Sir, my defense is very simple - I did not harm Bai Yuliang, just because I never wanted to harm him, just as I did not and did not I have never wanted to harm Zhang and Gu. Because I firmly believe that everything I want can be obtained with the sword in my hand."

Sui Zaihua looked at him: "What's the proof?"

Shang Huaitong calmly raised his head and said, "Please, let the sword shine."

The old man raised his eyebrows slightly.

The commotion in the field suddenly fell silent.

Since Shang Huaitong came to power, shocking things have happened one after another. People have long forgotten that there is such a magic weapon on the stage, and they have also forgotten that just now they were waiting with full expectation to see this most popular person. The state of mind.

The man just now had no intention of satisfying everyone's curiosity. He walked straight up to the old man and exceeded the standards of the Sword Mastery Academy with just a few questions and answers and a sword test.Now that the center of the incident is no longer here, the man suddenly returned to this section.

Sui Zaihua stretched out his hand and motioned for him to help himself.

Li Mingqing frowned again. She looked at "Zhuge Liang" next to her, and saw that the young man's eyes had also moved away from the page and looked towards the field.

"What does he mean?" the girl asked.

Pei Ye was silent.

Under the attention of hundreds of people, Shang Huaitong has come to the small mirror. He looked at the mirror, and then looked around, passing by everyone one by one: Qi Zhaohua, Zhang Mozhu, Fang Jidao, Li Mingqing, Pei Ye, and countless others. Come and look forward to those who watch his defeat.

He smiled gently and reached out his hand.

The familiar scene appeared again. Under the stimulation of the true energy, the jade slowly began to flow. Then, completely unprepared, a short exclamation rushed out of the audience.

Li Pingqing suddenly grabbed Pei Ye's arm.

Pei Ye remained motionless as he saw himself from another angle.

It was as if dozens or hundreds of rays of light penetrated the clouds and mist, and the entire mirror lit up into an extremely bright sun disk without any variegation or shadow.

【Holding the Mind】

The second persistence, or the only persistence of Bowang.

Countless people were stunned and speechless, and then, the strange change happened to the mirror again, and the frame turned into a black stream and suddenly enveloped it.

But in the confrontation with Nichirin, another brand-new performance appeared.

The black current suddenly surged onto the mirror surface, and then slowly eroded, climbing towards the center from all four directions, while the day pierced the black matter with various dazzling rays of light.But in the end it had no effect, the substantia nigra still occupied more and more, and soon it was about to swallow up the entire small mirror.Just when everyone thought this was going to be a [Jiyu] or [Xiangjing], they discovered something was wrong again - the black substance stopped completely.

It was only a fingernail's size away from the center of the submergence, but the erosion of the substantia nigra could no longer advance, and it finally stopped completely. The rice beads in the center of the mirror radiated a dazzling brilliance.

There was silence.

Just listen to Sui Zaihua's voice saying slowly: "Keep your mind and do not invade."

Still no sound.

Qi Zhaohua looked at the mirror, and the nails of his clenched fists slowly dug into his flesh. Bai Sibing's face was as dark as water. Countless people watched this scene speechlessly.

Under the tree, facing the girl's solemn gaze, Pei Ye said softly: "He has indeed never thought of killing Bai Yuliang, just as he has never thought of killing you."

Yes, a villain who is intolerant, arrogant, jealous, dirty and almost useless will look down on himself when he looks at himself late at night.So where does that arrogant confidence come from?Why does he think so highly of himself?
It's the sword in his hand.

Bowang is the number one in swordsmanship, the seed of the Sword Academy, and his own swordsmanship. None of it is false. It is a talent for swordsmanship that makes him proud. He regards it as his destiny, respects it as a saint, and has absolute confidence in it. Absolutely unwilling to be tarnished in the slightest.

He is indeed a complete villain, holding a dazzling sword that makes him proud of everything.This is the part he is most proud of, which makes him stand above everyone in Bowang. He can still talk and laugh calmly when the Qijiao collapses. When he sees the young man with the same amazing swordsmanship, his eyes are blazing. Even if he is suddenly betrayed by Qi Zhaohua, he does not panic.

He did not attack Bai Yuliang during the winter competition because he really wanted to defeat him in the ring. They were both mentioned as heroes, and he had long been jealous of this name in his heart.

He used insidious means to get rid of Zhang and Gu, even though he thought that Zhang Junyu's chance of defeating him was slim; but he never thought of escaping from a fair fight with another swordsman, even though Bai Yuliang might have mastered the " Yellow Jade".

However, that year Bai Yuliang was promoted to the sixth life, and Shang Huaitong was not defeated by the sword, but by his cultivation.When he advanced to the sixth life and developed sword skills, Bai Yuliang had been killed by the Soul Snatcher, and he had to vent his anger on the corpse.

So when Li Yiqing performed that she had advanced to the sixth life and learned the yellow jade, he didn't intend to do anything to her.Wouldn't it just be the blood that cleanses the sword?

He will eliminate any threat, but as long as there is a sword fight, he will win it with dignity.

Pei Ye remembered the fiery look he looked at her, a look that wanted to prove something urgently.

On the court, Shang Huaitong opened his eyes and moved his hand away from the mirror.

He has been misunderstood for too long and depressed for too long.He didn't mind that these people who saw through him regarded him as an evil snake and a poisonous fly, but he couldn't tolerate them thinking that he didn't dare to challenge Bai Yuliang head-on, so he could only kill him by secret means.

No one wants him to be alive more than himself!If he dares to survive until Qiubi, he will destroy him in the ring!
So, the first time he opened his eyes, Shang Huaitong did not look at the old man, nor at Qi Zhaohua.He turned his head in the direction of Cui Yu, looked at the young man sitting cross-legged under the shadow of the tree, and showed a provocative smile.

Who can I use to bear witness to wash away this humiliation?

------------

Shang Huaitong did not have to make any verbal defense for himself, the light in the mirror had not completely dissipated.

Persistence, of course, will not be afraid of any challenge in the arena.

Of course, he had no intention of using any means against Bai Yuliang, so he had no reason to hurt Zhang Junyu and Gu Guang.This is a pillar that can lift him up from the abyss again.

For a moment, Qi Zhaohua's vow seemed to be somewhat doubtful.

Things were at an impasse, and their reasons were strong enough but not impregnable.

"You are a sharp and poisonous seedling, and there are many doubts about you. I will not recruit you specifically for the time being. Maybe you have been wronged, so just capture Qiukui and come to the Sword Academy for another test according to the regulations. ." Sui Zaihua finally looked at Shang Huaitong and said.

Now that the sun was about to set, this old man who was both powerful and gentle shook his clothes and stood up. He nodded to Pei Ye and said, "I'll go to the state government office and wait for you."

Pei Ye quickly stood up and saluted.

On the field, in silence, Qi Zhaohua came to Cuiyu, and Shang Huai returned to Qijiao. Neither of them returned to the field, as if they were complete strangers, without dialogue, or even a single glance.

The poetry meeting has come to an end, but there are still many interesting activities later, such as watching dances and singing, fishing and painting, and especially the pleasant banquet and night drinking. Qi Zhaohua has to contact and coordinate everything between people's socializing.

Under the tree, Li Yiqing was teaching Pei Ye to inject his true energy into his clothes to straighten his wrinkled clothes. Qi Zhaohua came over. Pei Ye pointed at the blanket and said with a smile, "Okay, I don't need to make room for you now. I'll give this piece to you." is you."

"Thank you Shaoxia Pei and Master Shao." Qi Zhaohua smiled, "But it's too generous. Can I sit alone in a place with two people?"

"No." Pei Ye pulled the scholar next to him who was hesitant to speak and pressed him on the blanket. "You sit in Qingqing's seat. I will give my place to Brother Fang."

"Huh? Me, me"

Qi Zhaohua helplessly held his forehead and smiled.

Pei Ye hugged everyone and said, "Me and Qing Qing are going to meet Mr. Sui and come back to play in the evening."

Everyone smiled and nodded. Cui Xiaoyan's head suddenly popped out and shouted: "Earlier!"

Pei Ye pushed him back, and when he came back, he whispered to Qi Zhaohua: "Don't be alone, stay with others."

Qi Zhaohua was startled and nodded.

Hearing this, Fang Jidao raised his head and wanted to say something. Pei Ye glanced at him and added: "It doesn't count with him."

"." Fang Jidao looked at him with a suppressed face.

"What are you looking at? What's the use of being together? That's called falling in love."
-
State Yamen.

When the two of them came to the door, Pei Ye turned around and said, "You sit here for a while, and I'll call you in when I have an opportunity."

Li Mingqing nodded.

Following the official's instructions, Pei Ye came to the bookstore. He gently knocked on the door and heard a voice from inside: "Come in."

Pei Ye walked in and closed the door behind him. At a glance, he saw that there were numerous volumes and fragrant calligraphy and ink, but the old man did not move through it. Instead, he stood in front of a wall and looked up.

Pei Ye glanced at it and was immediately attracted by it - without him, there were dozens of swords of all kinds hanging on this wall. At a glance, it was simply dazzling.

The old man stood under this sword wall, his black clothes hanging down like a shuttle, and his tied up pale hair hanging on it. When he raised his head, the ends of his hair just touched the back of his heart.

"You have a lot of skill in swordsmanship, but the collection of swords is really interesting." Sui Zaihua said with a chuckle.

Pei Ye stepped forward and looked, and couldn't help but open his mouth slightly.

Although none of them have been unsheathed, the temperament of the handle and sheath is already extraordinary, and each one looks like a rare and good sword.Pei Ye lowered his head and looked at the long sword in his hand that won the Zifenghuai Mid-Autumn Martial Arts Association. Although he was still familiar with it and the blade was as sharp as ever, it now looked a little dull and rustic.

"Come and see, which one is the best?" Sui Zaihua turned back and looked at him with a smile.

"Huh?" Pei Ye glanced at the wall and was confused for a moment.

To be honest, it is not that he has no ability to distinguish between good and bad swords, but that is limited to the feeling when fighting enemy weapons, cutting meat and breaking bones. Usually, if two sword blades are placed in front of him, he may not be able to tell the difference. There is no difference, not to mention that the swords all over the wall have not even been taken out of their scabbards.

He looked at Sui Zaihua, suspecting that this adult had the habit of deliberately teasing children, and that he was treating a 17-year-old boy as a child.

"Oh? Don't you know how to guess?" Sui Zaihua smiled, "Let me point it out to you. Look at the third one from the right."

Pei Ye looked at it and was really surprised - there were many unique sword scabbards all over the wall. Some were pure wood carvings, some were unblemished green bamboo, and some were decorated with gold and silk. Only this one looked very "normal". There is neither pretense of simplicity nor excessive carvings.

Then he realized it.

"Do you know why?" the old man smiled.

Pei Ye said solemnly: "Because this is a truly battle-worthy sword."

Sui Zaihua was stunned: "."

"."

"There is no need to squander your extraordinary understanding in chat." Sui Zaihua pointed to the top of the sword hilt and the scabbard, "It's because there is the imprint of the East China Sea Sword Furnace here."

".Oh."
