C83 (1/2)
As the old gentleman spoke, he sat down without holding back, ”Back then, at the Ice Pond in Tian Shan, you and I were both young men in the prime of our youth. Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, we were all old … Jiang Ji, you really don't recognize me anymore? ”
The Eighth Old Master suddenly stood up and said with bright eyes, ”You are? Excuse me, but... I really don't know you. You got the wrong person. ”
The old man sneered, shook his head and said, ”Even if I recognize the wrong person, I will not recognize the wrong 'Jiao Wei'...”
As he said that, he pointed to the zither on the servant's back and laughed out loud, ”For the past sixty years, for the sake of thinking about this zither, you have truly made me dream of finding it. Today, you have finally let me find it.
The old squire paused in his speech and suddenly leaped up, taking the form of an eagle spreading its wings. He leapt from his seat to stand in front of the other servant.
This momentum was extremely fast, and the most daring thing was that he actually used it in front of the Eighth Lord. He truly was extremely daring.
The eighth grandfather was already on guard when he mentioned the ”six dynasties Jiao Wei”. He was surprised and shouted, ”How dare you …”
The word left his mouth as his right hand suddenly shot out towards the other party's body.
The strength of his ”Formless Sky Slashing Palm” was already at a certain level of strength, and it was also at such a close distance. According to common sense, it should be extremely powerful.
Just as he was about to raise his left hand, a tendon under his left arm suddenly twitched, causing him to feel extremely sore for a while.
Ah!” The eighth grandfather had only raised half of his hand, and had to lower it immediately. The force he exerted only spun in his dantian once before disappearing without a trace.
In such a short time, the old gentleman had already picked up the 'Six Dynasties Jiao Wei' that was carried behind the manservant. He seemed to be floating in the wind as he suddenly came back and sat on the seat again.
The servant shouted and rushed towards the man. He didn't want to move his body as if he had a sore spot on his body. His face twitched and shook for a while. He then sat down straight and started sweating profusely, yet he couldn't say a word.
Seeing this, the eighth grandfather suddenly understood.
”You …” The Eighth Old Master said.
For the second time, he raised his right palm and released another stream of power. The situation was exactly the same as before. His internal force rolled in his dantian for a second time before dispersing.
The Eighth Old Master himself was an expert in the art of medicine, and at this moment, he finally understood the principles behind it.
”Poison …” I've been poisoned? ” The eighth grandfather secretly exclaimed.
It was impossible, and he looked at the old gentleman with the most dubious eyes.
Of course, the old gentleman in his eyes was no longer a gentleman. He had become a formidable enemy.
This prompted him to recall the roots of the man before him, all due to the ”six dynasties” he loved the most in his life.
This guqin, did it really belong to its current master, the Eighth Lord? Not necessarily!
The real situation was …
Sixty years ago, at the meeting at the ice pond, Jiang Ji used a despicable method to coincidentally obtain the zither from one of the eight friends in the hall. Since then, the zither has belonged to Jiang Ji.
Jiang Ji only took this zither? He even took Lu Qingtong's life.
On that day, he arranged for the emissaries to be infected by a poison, causing all seven of the participants to be poisoned and lose their lives. He hadn't expected that after sixty years, someone would come up with a story that he believed was flawless and would never again be known to outsiders.
What shocked him was that what the man in front of him had said about ”returning to its rightful owner” was simply frightening.
”Could it be …” You are... Einherjar Wannabe … ”Prefecture …” The Eighth Old Master said.
”Divine State Ghost Phoenix … ”You Qingtong.” With a voice colder than ice, the old gentleman corrected the other party's words.
After he said his real name, 'You Qingtong', in the eyes of the Eighth Old Master, his face was that of that day's You Qingtong.
Although sixty years had passed, people would never really forget the terrible things that had happened to him.
Although You Qingtong was old, she was still You Qingtong, just like Jiang Ji.
Jiang Ji … Jiang Yin Jun … The eighth grandfather was actually just one person, just three different incarnations of different times and years.
Eutrophication Feng Qi was the same.
He had never suspected that there was any relationship between the two of them. Even up till now, he still had not realized that the person in front of him was the infamous ”Seven Fingers Snow Mountain” master who was equally as infamous as him, Mr. Feng Qi.
”You Qingtong …” You're actually still alive? ” Jiang Kai Jun said.
”That's right, he isn't dead yet.” Feng Qi teasingly said, ”He looks very healthy, he won't die for a short period of time.”
Jiang Yenjun trembled and said with a loud laugh, ”Well, I didn't expect to be in your way today...” How did you get it? Tell me, and let me see for myself. ”
Feng Qi shook his head and said, ”Old Man Jiang, I won't let you die. If you die, who will suffer?”
”So you're saying... You are being merciful to me... ”Humph …” Jiang Yin Jun snorted several times before speaking sternly, ”You might not know this, but I have consumed a thousand years' worth of poisonous python blood, so I am immune to all poisons. How could you not know this?”
”Of course I know.”
Mr Feng Qi turned his head and looked at the frightened boy in the orchard. He smiled. ”There's nothing for you to do here. We're old friends. Go do your work. We'll leave after a while.”
The young boy was eager to leave, so he hurriedly turned around and left.
Mr. Feng Qi then turned to Jiang You Jun and nodded, ”I had visited you at your residence in the Ning Guo Manor, but unfortunately, you weren't home. That night, I could have taken the guqin with me, but you didn't do anything in the dark. I have seen your antidote. ”
