Chapter 23 Late Night Conversation
Late at night, traveling with each other on both moons.
Silver is as frost, scarlet is as red as blood.
Under a stone wall at the South Peak Waterfall Cliff, Zhuge Xiong was wearing a blue shirt and stood there with a serious expression, motionless.
After a while, a beautiful woman in purple robe with extraordinary temperament walked out of the corner next to her, and suddenly laughed charmingly, saying in a charming way: "Elder Zhuge suddenly invited me, Ruozi was flattered. However, it's so cold here. Why not go to my cave and talk at night with candles?"
Zhuge Xiong stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the sea of clouds in the distance, without looking back, and said in a cold tone: "Elder Yang, I have something to ask about, I hope you will answer truthfully."
The beautiful woman walked behind him and looked at him with a faint look, "Elder Zhuge has not been alone with me for five years. Every time she meets, she doesn't even say a word, which is worse than a stranger. How could she be so cold to others when she finally meets her? I think we had it at the beginning..."
"shut up!"
Zhuge Xiong suddenly turned around, looked at her angrily, and said with a pale face: "Don't mention this matter again! The thing I regret most in my life is that I am charmed by you and made a big mistake! I am ashamed of Yao Chi! I am ashamed of the position of the deputy head of the Law Enforcement Hall!"
When Yang Ruozi saw him furious and frightened like a wounded beast, she knew that the little affection she had had long disappeared.
She smiled faintly, regained the expression that the chief elder should have, walked to the edge of the cliff, looked at the dark night in the distance and said, "Elder Zhuge just made mistakes that men would make. Moreover, it was only once, and it was irrelevant. My current status was something I had worked hard to win, not relying on your help from Elder Zhuge. So, you are not ashamed of Yaochi and the Law Enforcement Hall. I will never mention that from now on."
Zhuge Xiong closed his eyes, calmed down his emotions, and said, "Have you told anyone about that?"
As soon as these words were said, Yang Ruozi was stunned and turned her head to look at him and said, "Elder Zhuge, do you think, is I, Yang Ruozi, that stupid? I am now the chief elder of Nanfeng, and I am the lord of Nanfeng. The future is bright. Will I lift a stone and shoot myself in the foot?"
Zhuge Xiong's face was solemn and he stopped talking.
Yang Ruozi stared at him for a few seconds, and suddenly her face changed slightly: "Does anyone know?"
Then she shook her head and said, "Impossible! So many years have passed since that incident, and no one knew about it at the beginning. How could anyone know about it now?"
Zhuge Xiong turned around and looked at the sea of clouds outside the cliff again, his eyes flashing, and he still didn't say anything.
Yang Ruozi took a few steps closer and stared at his old face that had already changed, saying, "Tonight, you came to my Nanfeng Cloud Cliff because of your nephew Zhuge Qingyun's incident? But why did you not take the young man away in the end, but instead brought your nephew back to the law enforcement hall? Is it related to this matter?"
Zhuge Xiong said calmly: "Zhuge Qingyun is the second housekeeper of Yaochi, and I am the deputy head of the law enforcement hall. I hope you all understand. No nephew or uncle can work for me!"
Yang Ruozi looked at him and said, "I know your elder Zhuge's character, and will never betray the law. However, that young man is indeed the one who hurts Zhuge Qingyun and does violate the rules of my Yaochi Sect. With your upright personality, it is absolutely impossible for you to let him go, right?"
Zhuge Xiong fell silent, his face turned a little ugly.
Yang Ruozi narrowed her eyes and said, "Tell me, what did that young man know, so that you, the deputy head of the law enforcement hall, suddenly violated the principles?"
Zhuge Xiong looked into the distance and said, "He knows nothing. A young man who has just arrived in Yaochi can't even practice. What can he know?"
Yang Ruozi sneered and said, "Then Elder Zhuge made an appointment late at night tonight and suddenly mentioned the incident many years ago. Why? The boy violated the rules of the sect, but you came in awe and left in disappointment. Why?"
Zhuge Xiong's eyelids were beating, but there was no answer.
A cold light appeared in Yang Ruozi's eyes and said, "It seems that the boy can't stay anymore."
Zhuge Xiong's face changed, he turned his head, looked at her coldly and said, "Elder Yang, I hope you understand your current identity, and I hope you understand that the person standing in front of you now is not someone else, but the deputy master of the Law Enforcement Hall! If you dare to do something randomly in this Yaochi, I will never spare you!"
Yang Ruozi suddenly smiled charmingly and said, "Don't worry, with Elder Zhuge here, I will definitely not be messing around in Yaochi."
Zhuge Xiong heard her implicit meaning and looked at her with warning eyes and said, "Elder Yang, I need to remind you. That young man is not an ordinary mortal. Although he does not have any demonic power on his body, his family background is not something you can kill at will."
Yang Ruozi sarcastically said, "The family background is prominent? That's the past? Now, his father has probably been dead for many years. His amazing brother is probably more than anyone else, right?"
Zhuge Xiong ignored her rebuttal and said in a deep voice: "At this moment, everyone in the world is staring at my Yaochi to see if we will fulfill our promises. So, that young man must live! At least let him get married in my Yaochi and stay safely for a year in my Yaochi."
"So, Elder Yang, during this period, I hope you will keep your duty and don't cause trouble again!"
Yang Ruozi shrugged and said, "I just talk casually. Do you think I will put the results I have worked hard for so many years into a dangerous situation for that useless man? Moreover, I can be sure that no one will know about that incident! Maybe someone was catching up on the wind and talking casually, and that boy heard it. It just so happened that he cheated you at the critical moment of life and death today, but he didn't expect that he would really scare you."
Zhuge Xiong's eyes flashed. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something again and looked at her and said, "How could he let that female disciple named Yuying live in that small cherry blossom building? That building was the place where the young father lived. The Master Guifeng and the Sect Master personally ordered that no one would be allowed to get close to the small building."
Yang Ruozi shook her head and said, "I don't know. Yu Ying moved in because she liked that place and took the initiative to apply to the Peak Master. The Peak Master seemed to refuse at the beginning, but in the end, for some reason, he agreed again. Perhaps Yu Ying had a good talent in cultivation and was diligent, and was my best disciple of Nanfeng. The Peak Master made an exception in order to reward her."
Zhuge Xiong's eyes showed a complicated look, sighed, and said, "When the Lord Guifeng and the Sect Master competed for the position of saint, they made a bet. If anyone wins, he can live in that small building, but in the end, no one has ever been in again. Maybe it's because they are afraid of seeing things and thinking about others. Their sisters have admired that person very much since childhood, but it's a pity..."
Speaking of this, he suddenly woke up, bowed his hand, and said, "I have said a little more tonight. Elder Yang, say goodbye."
After saying that, he floated his sleeves and left from the corner of the cliff.
Yang Ruozi stood by the cliff, looking at his disappearing back, pursed her red mouth slightly, and her narrow and slightly charming eyes gradually narrowed.
