1491 Be My Guard! (1/2)
Ye Xiao turned indifferent, too. ”Bu Xiangfeng, do you really have to play this trick?” Bu Xiangfeng abruptly turned to Ye Xiao. He was surprised. ”You know who I am?”Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
Ye Xiao coldly smiled and casually paced to the chair. He sat down and said, ”Of course I know who you are. You put on a big show in the auction. I was there. I watched everything you did!”
Bu Xiangfeng laughed and said, ”Kiddo, you are not stupid, but just audacious. You know who I am, yet you still do this to me. If your man didn't show up just now, you might have done your trick!”
Ye Xiao laughed and said, ”I did all this only because I know who you are! Do you think I should fear you?”
Bu Xiangfeng took a deep breath. When he was about to say something, Ye Xiao continued to say, ”It is still the same situation. Maybe I will die, and maybe you will die after me. Nothing changed. Whether I know who you are or not, it won't change what you have to face!”
”I knew, but I pretended not. I could get you killed. Now that we all know that I know who you are, why can't I still get you killed? I can't do things to hurt my own interests, can I?”
Ye Xiao coldly smiled and continued saying, ”Who do you think you are scaring with your murderous qi? I know that you won't let us live, because we have seen the most awkward side of you… Well, since we are going to die anyway, why would we fear your murderous qi? Hilarious!”
Bu Xiangfeng was shocked.
'That's right. They know who I am, but it doesn't change anything!''I may have more to worry about, but they don't!'
'In fact, they can put down all disguises and be themselves!'
'In the end, this is still the same awkward situation for me. Nothing gets better at all.'
'Everything is on the table now, but it doesn't seem to bring me any good.'
'As this pretty boy said, they know who I am, so they are sure I can't bear the humiliation. No matter what they do, I would have to kill them. Why wouldn't they get me killed as an act of revenge?'
'That is an easy choice for them!'
'The appearance of the man in black clothes seems to reveal everything to everybody, but it gets me to a worse situation. If we pretend that he doesn't know me, he may give me the chance to go away. Now he won't.'
'I don't want to die!'
Bu Xiangfeng frowned.
'I don't want to die… I don't want to get hurt either.''I have so many things to…'
”Pretty boy, I can see that you have a perfect solution in your smart head. I know you have it. Say it! How can we both survive this?” Bu Xiangfeng thought for a while, and couldn't think of a way. Eventually, he sat down on the chair and asked for Ye Xiao's help.
Ye Xiao didn't shout immediately, because there was another way to get it through. Bu Xiangfeng just couldn't get to an answer! He wondered how they could solve the problem perfectly!
'Why would they believe me, even if I promise I won't kill them?'
Bu Xiangfeng would choose to die together than to believe a man like himself!
'This pretty boy seems to be a cunning man! Does he have a solution? Even if not, it is good to buy some time.'
Ye Xiao smiled and said, ”Bu Xiangfeng, the Farewell Sword. You used to be Bu Gaofeng, from the Qianshan City of the Zhongyuan Area. You are from the East Sky. When you were a child, you became a disciple to a powerful man. When you learned everything he taught you, the village you lived in was infected by a pestilence. All the people in your family were killed.”
”You were heart-struck. Because you were sad about not being able to see your family again, you changed your name to Bu Xiangfeng, which means 'never to meet'. Bu is your family name. Xiangfeng, which means 'to meet'. It sounds like you don't want to meet, but you actually dream for it. You want the reunion so bad… You want to get your family back… so you can meet them again.”
”Your weapon was named the Farewell Sword when you changed your name! That was a true farewell. When your sword appeared, people died!”
Ye Xiao spoke out everything about Bu Xiangfeng, slow and loud.
Bu Xiangfeng humphed and said, ”There are not many people who know these things about me, but some people do. It doesn't surprise me that much.”
Ye Xiao nodded and continued to say, ”When you left the village, nobody knows whether you left alone or with other people. I know that you have taken some people with you.”
Bu Xiangfeng was indifferent, but he humphed.
”When a pestilence hits a village, it doesn't mean everybody in the village dies. When you got home, the pestilence had just hit your hometown. There should be more than half of the people in the village who were alive.”
”According to the record, you have been living in thrift. No matter how much you earned, you never spent a lot… I have a question to a powerful and a decent man like you, what have you spent your money on?”
Ye Xiao coldly stared at Bu Xiangfeng and said, ”I have thought about it… You never waste a coin, no matter how much you have earned. I think you have spent them on something mysterious… There must be a place, where you have some people or some things to take care of.”
”I guess a man can only defeat his own desire when the responsibility tells him to.” Ye Xiao was casually speaking, and Bu Xiangfeng was shocked. He was shocked. He was truly shocked!
'What he said… It was not entirely the truth, but it was unbelievably close. Most of it was true.'
”In the auction that was held by the Brotherhood Alliance's salesroom, everybody thought that you were intentionally provoking Master Xiao. I thought so too, but when you took out the Destiny Golden Lotus… I knew that you really wanted to have one of the two rare metals. It is known that the Destiny Golden Lotus is much more valuable than the two rare metals, but you still take it out for sale. You have your own reason to get one of the two rare metals!”
Bu Xiangfeng humphed and thought, 'Why does he know so much about me?''Why does he know everything?'
”It is not difficult to know that the eighty thousand purple spirit coins were truly all you had…” Ye
Xiao blandly said, ”You were going to spend all the money you have and give up one Destiny
Golden Lotus for the metal. I guess the metal must mean a lot to you. I think you need the
metal for something that is important to you. It must be your weapon, isn't it?
The Farewell Sword.”
”Your weapon must be damaged, so you need the metal to repair it. If you can't get it fixed, you will be a lot weaker than you should be. You don't need your weapon when dealing with some small fights, but you definitely need it when fighting against some powerful opponents. If you have your sword fixed tonight, you wouldn't have to negotiate with a weak shrimp like me, would you?”
Bu Xiangfeng nearly dropped his jaw on the floor. He really wanted to open Ye Xiao's head and
saw what his brain looked like. He wondered how Ye Xiao figured out everything!
In fact, he didn't know that he was just like another Ning Biluo to Ye Xiao. He was just like a Human Realm Upon Heavens version Ning Biluo. That was why it wasn't difficult for Ye Xiao to figure out what was behind him. A superior cultivator needed the rare metal so much, then he must need it for his weapon!
The most important thing about a weapon was that it must fit the owner. Ye Xiao already had the divine weapon, Stars Sword, but when the Monarch's Sword was back, it immediately became the prior choice, because the Monarch's Sword fit Ye Xiao the most.
Bu Xiangfeng had the same weapon. The first thing he should do was to find a block of rare metal to fix his sword. If he changed a weapon, he would be at least twenty percent weaker. If a superior cultivator got weakened by twenty percent, it was serious. If Bu Xiangfeng still got his sword in good condition, he could have killed one of the enemies with one strike. If so, he wouldn't have to do all these troublesome things afterward!
For a cultivator, power meant everything!
Ye Xiao said, ”This is my thought. You are not in your full power, so you can't protect the people you want to protect anymore. That is why you want to fix the sword soon. However, because of Master Xiao, you missed the rare metals… You have been acting shamelessly tonight because you want to live. You want to live because you want to keep protecting those people. If you die, they die! Am I right?”
Bu Xiangfeng looked cold, and said, ”Do you think you are so clever that you can see everything?”
”Of course, I am smart.” Ye Xiao coldly smiled and said, ”If I am not, I won't waste time to figure out what is hidden in your head. I will just kneel before you and beg for life. I guess I would have been killed if I did so. You wanted to kill me from the beginning. How would you leave a problem behind you? If my man didn't show up, I have no idea what would happen to me…”
Bu Xiangfeng humphed and said, ”What else do you know? Just say it!”
Ye Xiao blandly said, ”I know that there is a huge problem with your Farewell Sword.”
Bu Xiangfeng rolled up both eyes and said, ”You said it before, didn't you? Is this all you got? Are you going to keep repeating the same words again and again?”
Ye Xiao shook his head and said, ”You are wrong. What I am going to say is the most important part. According to the record, when you got on the top three of the Itinerant Cultivator Power Ranking List, you were only at level nine of the Divinity Origin Stage. Your special martial art technique and your unknown power gave you that position. It was tricky.”
Ye Xiao lowered his head and said, ”It was about… two hundred years ago.” Bu Xiangfeng humphed again like he didn't care at all.
Ye Xiao said, ”At least in the recent two hundred years, there was no record of your improvement. I think your sword wouldn't be damaged if you didn't get any improvement.
”When a cultivator breaks the limit of the Divinity Origin Stage to enter the Saint Origin Stage, he has to have a fight of life and death. Only after a battle like that, fighting between life and death, one will break through the limitation.”
”I think you have reached the top of the stage, so you found yourself a powerful opponent and put on a desperate fight.”
”I don't know who your opponent was, but I am sure you didn't get easy on that. You have once disappeared for fifty years in the world. That may prove my point.”
Ye Xiao blandly looked at Bu Xiangfeng and said, ”Don't deny it. I have read everything about you on the ranking lists. It must be correct.”
”I knew it! I knew those f*cking ranking lists would ruin something someday! You should mind your own business and focus on your own cultivation! Why don't you just keep improving yourself instead of studying those stupid ranking lists? You are doing no decent works!” Bu Xiangfeng fiercely said.
”No decent works? What? You know what, if I didn't do that, I might have died now. If that's not decent work, at least it keeps me alive!” Ye Xiao said with a smile.
”You did get to know something, so what? I don't think you know everything!” Bu Xiangfeng gritted his teeth.”
”There is the truth, and there are evidence, also some traces… I can definitely make a firm conjecture. For example, if you didn't get severely wounded, and you did breakthrough to a new level… it wouldn't take you fifty years to recover… In those fifty years…”
”What about the fifty years?” Bu Xiangfeng was a bit shocked by the young man's deduction. He was not just shocked, but also terrified.”
”In those fifty years, you must be working on the Farewell Sword, weren't you? After that great battle, you were improving fast.” Ye Xiao casually said.
”…” Bu Xiangfeng had no words to say. 'Did you really just guess? Didn't you follow me or something?'
”Other than that, I can be sure about two other things. First, you didn't fix your Farewell Sword. Second, you have been improved greatly in those fifty years. You became level two of the Saint Origin Stage.”
Ye Xiao said, ”That's the biggest secret about you!”
Bu Xiangfeng abruptly raised up his head and looked at Ye Xiao. In his eyes, there was fear and murderous intent!
It was his biggest secret!
Bu Xiangfeng was sure that nobody else knew it! He believed no one knew his secret!
'How? How did he… Is he a monster?'
