Ze Tian Ji

He did not know Chen Changsheng, much less that evil dragon of legend, so he naturally wasn’t willing to step up. However, as a disciple of the Mount Li Sword Sect, he naturally wanted to protect his martial sisters of South Stream Temple. At the moment, almost everyone on the plateau was standing opposed to Chen Changsheng and South Stream Temple, so what could Mount Li do with its small group?

Gou Hanshi looked at the nervous disciples of South Stream Temple and said, ”If something unforeseen occurs, we naturally have to unsheathe our swords and assist.”

All the evidence available pointed to Chen Changsheng, but Gou Hanshi had never once thought that Chen Changsheng would really kill Bie Tianxin, because he knew that Chen Changsheng was not that sort of person.

Bai Cai thought that he understood his senior brother’s meaning. His right hand rested on his hilt as he gravely said, ”Be at ease, Senior Brother. Even if I give up my life, I will protect our martial sisters.”

Gou Hanshi said, ”I was talking about His Holiness.”

Bai Cai was shocked. He looked to him and asked, ”Then… what would Eldest Brother think?”

”If Senior Brother were here, he would do the same.”

Gou Hanshi added, ”Of course, Senior Brother’s intelligence far surpasses yours or mine. If he were here, he might have already found a method to resolve this matter.”

……

……

The situation on the plateau was extremely tense and was highly likely to fall into a bitter and chaotic battle. However, this had no effect on the other places of Holy Maiden Peak.

At the foot of Holy Maiden Peak was a stream with water so clear that one could see the bottom. Two people were currently seated on a stone at the stream’s edge, roasting and eating fish. The slightly scorched aroma of the cooked fish drifted very far, attracting the cries of several birds and causing a few nearby shrubs to rustle.

The Qiushan clan head took a stick of roast fish and gave it a thorough examination. Upon confirming that it was not drugged, he took a bite.

”Why’d you take the trouble to come? You must know that if you miss such a good chance today, you really will incur the wrath of the heavens.”

He looked at the person sitting by the fire and said, ”You banished yourself for five years already. If you don’t do something now, and let things continue like this, the world will only know of Xu Yourong and Chen Changsheng. They won’t possibly remember the name of Qiushan Jun.”

The man roasting fish was Qiushan Jun, and also Luo Bu of Sloping Cliff Horse Farm.

After leaving Wenshui City, he had returned to Mount Li. Under the fierce implorations of his junior sister, he had finally shaved off all of his beard, revealing his true face.

It was very difficult to describe Qiushan Jun’s face. To put it briefly, even the Qiushan clan head would have some second thoughts every time he saw the son that was his pride, often wondering, how did I father such a handsome son?

Qiushan Jun took out the second roast fish and took a satisfied bite. In a somewhat muffled voice, he said, ”It’s not like I live so that I can be remembered by others.”

The Qiushan clan head snapped back, ”Then go into seclusion. What are you doing here?”

Qiushan Jun chuckled but said nothing.

The Qiushan clan head became even angrier at this, saying, ”If I hadn’t come specially to stop you, you would probably already be on the mountain.”

Qiushan Jun said, ”It’s presumably quite exciting on the mountain. I just want to take a look.”

The Qiushan clan head grumbled, ”Do you really think that you can trick your father? You just want to help Chen Changsheng break out of this trap. Really, how did I, a selfish and crafty person with a mind full of evil tricks, manage to father a fellow like you, so moral, warm-hearted and high-minded?”

Qiushan Jun couldn’t help but laugh, and replied, ”Father, these words are truly interesting.”

The Qiushan clan head angrily replied, ”Don’t you go worrying about what’s interesting and not interesting. Just tell me if what I say is right or wrong.”

”Correct, I truly was prepared to go up the mountain and end that scheme.”

Qiushan Jun explained, ”Because I think the person who made that scheme is insulting my intelligence.”
