522: Chapter 76 Enemies, Friends_2 522: Chapter 76 Enemies, Friends_2 Although Mi Yun is currently unable to walk, given this progress, it won’t be long before his legs will regrow.
“How do you feel now?”
True Master Jun Shan was the first to greet him.
He was most concerned about Mi Yun’s condition.
Despite the protection of the Golden Light Array, his Divine Thought was focused on this carriage for twelve hours every day; if Mi Yun felt any discomfort, he was more anxious than anyone.
“Thank you for your concern, Master, Mi Yun is well.”
The young monk politely responded, conveying his apology: “Last time, I accidentally triggered the ‘Karma Principle’, causing damage to the Divine Sea.
These past few days of meditative healing were just to restore my Primordial Energy…
It will take some more time before I can use the ‘Tao Rules’ again.”
“…It’s okay, no worries.”
True Master Jun Shan seemed a bit uneasy, the good attitude of Mi Yun made him feel a bit embarrassed.
He really hadn’t expected that before he could even speak, this youngster would voluntarily apologize.
Now, no matter how much he wanted to check on the situation at Tianyuan Mountain, he had to wait.
“My benefactor.”
Mi Yun, pushing his wheelchair, came to Xuanyi’s carriage.
He noticed that his benefactor looked somewhat displeased.
The youngster looked up at the flying wood dust and debris, sniffed slightly, and appeared puzzled: “…What happened here?
What are these?”
Seeing this scene, Deng Baiyi, who had come from the Golden Light Array, was also puzzled.
If she remembered correctly.
The situation in the carriage at this moment should have been of a book tower girl and Xie Xuanyi being together.
Where is that woman?
Could it be…
Deng Baiyi’s complexion turned slightly pale.
“These are fragments from the String Skill of Xuanwei Island.”
Xie Xuanyi said, “Nalan Qiutong disguised herself as a Book Tower Investigator to meet and negotiate with me.
After her identity was exposed, this became the situation…”
Deng Baiyi exhaled in relief.
So that’s what happened.
It wasn’t about crushing bones and scattering them to the wind.
Wait, why did she feel this kind of relief?
Because Xie Zhen could actually do such things?
“It seems the negotiation failed.”
The child in a Daoist robe flew out of the Golden Light Array carriage and with a snap, landed beside Xie Xuanyi.
He clasped his hands behind his back, regretfully saying, “If I’m not mistaken, Nalan Qiutong was hoping we would withdraw from the delegation… to avoid unintended harm, but you refused her kindness… It’s just a mission, you surely don’t intend to fight to the death with the Li Kingdom’s iron cavalry, do you?”
Mi Yun suddenly became silent.
He knew, at this moment, it was best not to speak.
Upon saying this.
The atmosphere within the delegation subtly changed.
Monks getting off for a rest silently gazed in the direction of Xie Xuanyi.
Deng Baiyi pursed her lips, unsure of what to say.
Even the Special Enforcement Officer Iron Eyes appeared somewhat nervous.
Everyone looked towards Xie Xuanyi, and after a brief silence, they turned their eyes to Buddha’s son.
“Benefactor Xie…
on the Golden Body Tower, this monk still owes you a promise.”
Miao Zhen slowly spoke, his voice resounding like a grand bell: “By escorting me to Yuan Province, this mission is already fulfilled according to my wishes.
The path ahead is fraught with danger, and with your status, there is no need for you to wade through this muddy water.
If you wish to leave, you may depart now; Fan Yin Temple is only grateful, with no grievances.”
“…”
The tall monk sitting on the roof, after speaking, returned to silence.
Actually, Miao Zhen knew everything; he saw everything much clearer than everyone else.
The more he spoke, the greater the mistakes.
When Nalan Qiutong arrived, he could have stopped her, but he chose not to.
He has always left the “choice” up to Xie Zhen.
“Brother Jun Shan…
want to leave the delegation?”
Xie Xuanyi did not speak to Miao Zhen but looked at the young child in the Daoist robe.
“I came to Li Kingdom just to clear my mind.
The promise I owed has already been repaid at Qu River.” True Master Jun Shan spoke lazily, making a Tai Chi gesture.
“Brother, you have always been free, if you want to leave, you can leave at any time.”
Xie Xuanyi smiled helplessly and said, “But before you leave, please take Miss Baiyi with you.
I’m afraid I can’t take full care of her.
You were right, Nalan Qiutong just came to seek peace with me…
but I refused her.”
“Why?”
True Master Jun Shan raised his eyebrows playfully and said, “As a Chu person, do you really want to be enemies with Nalan Xuance and Chen Chong for Fan Yin Temple?”
“Some matters have nothing to do with Chu people or Li people.”
Xie Xuanyi said lightly, “At the Golden Body Tower, I formed an alliance with Fan Yin Temple.
Miao Zhen helped me once at Qu River, so I should help him once in Yuan Province…
I already have many enemies, and I don’t care about having one more.”
“…”
True Master Jun Shan remained silent.
He hovered in the air, scrutinizing the eyes of the youth in black earnestly.
Xie Xuanyi calmly met his gaze.
“Interesting, interesting, you are more intriguing than everyone in the Taoist community…”
After a while, True Master Jun Shan suddenly grinned and said, “I only thought about enjoying the scenery and appreciating the flowers and moon.
How did it turn into a fight again?
Seems like I’m not destined for a peaceful life, no matter how many times I reincarnate.”
Xie Xuanyi was momentarily startled.
True Master Jun Shan spoke leisurely, “Charging into battle with cavalry sounds easy but is actually extremely tricky.
You alone definitely cannot handle it, and as for that other bald monk, don’t even mention it.
He’s good in solo combat due to his cultivated physique but knows nothing about the subtleties of formations.”
“???”
The tall monk sitting on the roof of the carriage, who was inexplicably scolded, looked furious yet had nothing to say.
“I must clarify…
I’m not someone who likes to meddle in messy situations, but as a stranger in Li Country, I might just stick with the delegation’s carriage and not leave.”
True Master Jun Shan sighed deeply, lifted the carriage curtain, and flew directly into the carriage.
He lay back, resting his hands behind his head, and earnestly lamented, “I hope you all safely reach Fan Yin Temple without any mishaps along the way.
I can’t afford too much turmoil with these old bones.”
“Miss Baiyi, no need to leave?”
Mi Yun, who was anxiously waiting, finally took a deep breath upon hearing this.
“It seems…
not necessary.”
Deng Baiyi also let go of her concerns.
For some reason.
She knew the road ahead was full of hardships but didn’t want Xie Zhen and Jun Shan to have a disagreement and go their separate ways.
“Jun Shan…”
Miao Zhen, sitting on the roof, pondered for a long time and finally sent a message: “Thank you.”
Jun Shan knew that this fellow was not good with words.
Being able to say these two words showed how much it meant.
“Don’t thank me.
If it wasn’t for this youngster’s firm stance, I wouldn’t have stayed.”
True Master Jun Shan sighed, “To be honest, I already regret it.
Given Nalan Xuance’s decisive methods, to send Nalan Qiutong with courteous approaches followed by force, it means the area around Qixia Mountain is already ambushed…
Whether we can make it out of Yuan Province is still questionable.”
“People still need to be thanked…
After all, after so many years of conflict between us, you finally did something humane.”
Miao Zhen’s next words left Jun Shan staring wide-eyed.
Before he could retort.
Miao Zhen brightened the golden mark between his eyebrows, and the light of Buddha Country concentrated, he unilaterally cut off their Divine Soul communication.
Following that.
He sent his Divine Thought to Xie Xuanyi: “The words I said earlier still stand.
Anytime, Benefactor Xie can leave the delegation.
The fire about to ignite at Fan Yin Temple is huge and shouldn’t reach the innocent…
Regarding the promise owed at the Golden Body Tower, Benefactor should better think about it soon.
If the poor monk cannot fulfill it, Fan Yin Temple can repay it instead.”
“Brother Miao Zhen, there’s no need for many words between us.”
Xie Xuanyi smiled lightly as if a breeze had passed, “Actually, the words I just said were not yet complete.”
Miao Zhen was taken aback.
“I have many enemies, and I don’t care about having one more.”
“I have few friends, so even losing one is unacceptable.”
