Chapter 119: Chapter 118: I Want to Know the Truth (Vote for the Monthly Ticket)

Translator: 549690339

Upon seeing Qingyang Zi, Pei Xuanjing appeared not the least bit surprised. His face conveying equanimity, he said, “The distinguished Taoist Priest has come a long way. How could I possibly be so stingy as to begrudge him a cup of wine?”

Qingyang Zi, making himself at home, sat down directly across from Pei Xuanjing.

The two men sat facing each other, neither breaking the silence for a moment.

From previous life simulations, Pei Xuanjing was aware of the close relationship between the True Martial Sect and Bai Xiaosheng, and that it seemed they were planning something together, something that involved him.

So it wasn’t surprising that Qingyang Zi could appear here now.

After all, almost everyone knew that Bai Xiaosheng’s information was more accurate and faster than that of the imperial court.

Even though he had learned of Qingyang Zi’S purpose in seeking him out through life simulations, Pei Xuanjing pretended ignorance and laughed, “I fear that your appearance here today will soon attract many who hunger for gossip.”

He was one of the few people in Tiandu with whom Pei Xuanjing had many dealings. His abrupt departure from Tiandu to Hejian Mansion probably meant that there were quite a few people following him.

“Nobody will come, at least not that soon.”

Qingyang Zi looked startled, then shook his head.

He had left Tiandu in secret this time, hiding his tracks all the way, and with Bai Xiaosheng’s people helping clean up any loose ends, his tracks were unlikely to be exposed this soon.

“Hehe.” Pei Xuanjing laughed, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. 𝒇𝒓𝓮𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝒐𝓿𝓮𝓵.𝒄𝒐𝙢

As Qingyang Zi looked at the indifferent Pei Xuanjing, his detached and lofty air, his carefree attitude was quite different from his caution when they first met.

He couldn’t help but lament, “Ah, I regret a bit that I should have gone to Xuanfu with you all that day. Maybe then that would have stopped what happened.” freeweb novel.co m

Initially, due to an ambush by the Mire Sect and being injured by Du Chongyun, Qingyang Zi did not continue to follow the emperor’s journey thereafter. Instead, he returned to Tiandu with a few people, partly to heal his injury and partly to deal with and appease some people due to the incident.

Unexpectedly, many things happened in a short time after his departure, so many things one after another that they were too overwhelming to cope with.

And the final result was that this young man, whom he had highly regarded and deemed as someone the emperor could use and rely on, had not only left but had also become a major threat to the imperial court.

He thought that if he had been there at that time, he would have definitely prevented this. At least he wouldn’t have let things reach this point where it’s difficult to wrap up.

Fate plays with people, just like this.

Pei Xuanjing didn’t take Qingyang Zi’s lament to heart and laughed, “There’s no need for you to blame yourself. The root of this matter isn’t you, no one can blame you for this.”

Qingyang Zi forced a smile, “But…”

Pei Xuanjing shook his head to interrupt him, calmly saying, “There’s no ‘but.’ I’m definitely going to kill Qian Ning. No one can stop that.”

Looking at the somewhat surprised Qingyang Zi, Pei Xuanjing said, “You didn’t know that Qian Ning was the mastermind behind the MO Bei Three Wolves’ assassination attempt on me?”

“What!” Qingyang Zi’S face expressed surprise.

He had thought Qingyang Zi knew about this, but seeing the apparent sincerity on the other’s face, Pei Xuanjing couldn’t help but say strangely, “Don’t you know about this?”

Qingyang Zi shook his head, “I really don’t know about this.”

In fact, Pei Xuanjing had made a mistake thinking that with Bai Xiaosheng’s support, Qingyang Zi would naturally be informed about the matter.

In reality, it was Taoist Qingxu who had cooperated with Bai Xiaosheng. Qingyang Zi didn’t interfere much and many things he did were arranged by Taoist Qingxu.

“Well then, it doesn’t matter anyway. After all, it’s all in the past now.” Pei Xuanjing didn’t wish to speak further about this as there was no point in talking about it now.

“Ah!” Qingyang Zi sighed again and didn’t comment any further.

He also knew that if it was true that Qian Ning was the previous instigator, there was no point in bringing it up again.

After the events took place, he repeatedly sent messenger eagles to the Emperor asking about the cause, but received no news.

“It seems I’ll have to go back to Tiandu, visit the Six Gates, and verify this information,” Qingyang Zi thought to himself.

He said to Pei Xuanjing, ‘”If this is true, I need to clarify this matter to the Emperor.”

“There’s no need,” Pei Xuanjing responded casually.

Now that it had come to this, the past couldn’t be undone. There was no meaning in saying anymore.

Seeing Qingyang Zi about to speak again, Pei Xuanjing shook his head, changing the subject, “Let’s not talk about these depressing issues. I still don’t know why you’ve taken such a big risk to find me. What is it for?”

Without dwelling any further, Qingyang Zi decided in his heart that he had to explain this matter to Pei Xuanjing.

He replied, “I have been ordered by my Sect Leader to invite you to visit Taihe Mountain. ”

“Hahaha.” Pei Xuanjing picked up the wine in front of him and drained it, laughing, “With my current status, do you still want me to go to the True Martial Sect?”

At first, Qingyang Zi nodded, then shook his head.

Pei Xuanjing looked somewhat puzzled as he heard Qingyang Zi say, “In my opinion, you shouldn’t go. But since the Sect leader has ordered it, I must follow.”

Just as Pei Xuanjing had said, now was not a good time for him to head to the True Martial Sect. Not only was Qingyang Zi of this opinion, several of the Elders in the Sect disapproved as well.

Given the relationship between the True Martial Sect and the royal family, at this delicate time, if they did not send out experts to join forces with the Great Ming to round up Pei Xuanjing, it would already be considered showing mercy on part of the True Martial Sect.

And at this juncture, inviting Pei Xuanjing to the True Martial Sect, if the news really got out, wouldn’t it be like openly slapping the royal family in the face

But whether it was Qingyang Zi or the Elders of the Sect, their opposition had no effect.

Taoist Qingxu, the leader of the True Martial Sect, had a high standing within the Sect. During his tenure as leader over the past decades, the Sect’s interests had never been harmed.

Therefore, out of trust for Taoist Qingxu, they, albeit dissatisfied, complied.

However, Taoist Qingxu made a concession by not requiring Pei Xuanjing to appear showily, he could just go quietly.

Pei Xuanjing didn’t know about these behind-the-scenes machinations. However, from this event, he could sense Taoist Qingxu’s status and influence within the True Martial Sect.

“I need to think about it.” Pei Xuanjing did not immediately give a reply.

Even though he had received this information from simulations and had considered it for a long time, regarding whether or not he should go to the True Martial Sect, he still felt hesitation..
