Chapter 21

Synopsis: What does your life or death have to do with me?

Every expert had at least soree of an expert's manners, whether they were sensitive about their reputation or were unwilling to let go of their pride People of high status usually wouldn't do sooat because they still cared about their face Only soy of the Verht would be able to co mad behind them, and it even rendered Shen Qiao speechless

Yan Wushi+ brought hih Xuandu Town and arrived at the relay station in the countryside, a place they had stayed at before when they first entered the town There was a sparse little forest, which could be regarded as a spacious spot

He put Shen Qiao down

Shen Qiao cupped his hands: ”Thanks!”

He was injured during his fight with Yu Ai All of his blood and qi had been stagnant ever since After such a long ti, and sensation co back to his limbs

Yan Wushi+ just bluntly sneered, ”So what's the point of your trip to Mount Xuandu? It only proved what I said the other day was true: the human heart is worthless when interests are involved Your martial brothers could betray you without any hesitation for the sake of their interests In order to become the sect leader, they could let you fall off the cliff and yet turn a deaf ear to it Qi Fengge boasted his sect as being orthodox and ht, but the conducts of his disciples are even co is that!”

He was very much aware that after Shen Qiao fell off the cliff, people fro for him out there However, at that tiht him back with him So of course, those people went back empty-handed But there was no need for Yan Wushi+ to speak on their behalf; he was more than happy to see Shen Qiao fall into despair fro from a softhearted, castaway sect leader into a person full of hatred toward everyone in the world

But Shen Qiao didn't take up the thread of the conversation He found a large stone next to him with his hands and then slowly sat down

Yu Ai was a little stubborn and very much a utilitarian Ever since he was a child, he had to be the best in everything he did Had he not grown up on Mount Xuandu, it was hard to say whether he would have become another Yan Wushi+ But over these years, he had indeed put his heart and soul into Mount Xuandu He hoarded nothing for himself, and the fellow disciples all had fraternal love towards one another However hard-hearted he once was, all of these things should be enough to warm him up Not to mention that Yu Ai was not Yan Wushi+ after all; therefore, prior to that event, even if his e were to be reborn, he wouldn't have anticipated it either, let alone Shen Qiao

He orchestrated Shen Qiao's defeat in the fight with Kunye andeyes Since his reputation was completely swept away, Yu Ai naturally became his successor No one would consider hiet it done once and for all, since even if Shen Qiao were still alive, he wouldn't have the face to ask to becoain

This sounded very plausible, but considering how excitedly Yu Ai had sworn back then that he had difficulties that he couldn't voice, saying the reason he did it was to place Mount Xuandu above all other sects in the world, then the matter seemed a bit odd

assu Yu Ai really had his own difficulties like he said and there were other reasons behind the event, then he was definitely not only referring to his secret collusion with the Tujue people to set up Shen Qiao's fall from the cliff

Hewith the Tujue people on sos as well that were even more important

Shen Qiao knitted his brows He could only feel the pricking pain everywhere inside his head and reht he put into it

Ever since the Jin Dynasty moved to the south, h the regi these years, the power of countries such as Zhou and Qi, which had extreradually sinicized due to their inheritance of the Han systeh reluctantly, if they were the ones to unify the world But for a nation like the Tujue Khaganate whose people were still grazing on the grasslands even today, a barbarian nation that would invade the Central Plain from time to time, they could not be called wise rulers in any event

The erratic and brutal ie of the Tujue people had already left deep impressions in people's hearts Without enormous benefits, it was impossible that Yu Ai would act in the face of universal condemnation

In that case, as he really sche? What were the Tujue people able to pro to Mount Xuandu?

Shen Qiao couldn't discuss these things with Yan Wushi+

Although their relationshi+p was getting deeper nowadays, they weren't friends yet Because of the other person's moodiness, it was even more impossible for Shen Qiao to ask for hearty advice from a mere acquaintance like him

Shen Qiao had no other choice but to turn it back and forth in his own mind

It was just that noat it through a thin layer ofpaper and could not get to the key point

Yan Wushi+ suddenly asked, ”Have you had enough rest?”

At a loss, Shen Qiao lifted his head Because he was still thinking about other things, his face looked a little innocent and absent-minded

”If so, then let's fight”

Shen Qiao: ”…”

He gave a bitter s to be your match? Didn't you try it already last time?”
