Liu Yuan asked back with interest: "Why should I explain to you?"
Cen Shanzi had anticipated many of Liu Yuan's reactions and answers, some surprising, some flustered, some timid, some unreasonable, but most of them were filled with guilt.
But I never thought that the other party would be so righteous and fearless.
Moreover, the meaning of his rhetorical question did not seem to be that he could not explain it, but that he, Cen Shanzi, was not qualified to listen to his explanation!
Arrogant! Too arrogant!
"Then you just won't deny that you used the phrase 'a world away from you', right?"
Cen Shanzi's anger, which he had suppressed with great difficulty, suddenly surfaced again. With a bit of indignation in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "Just because I am a true disciple of Taiqing Pavilion, I have the obligation to protect the sect's skills from being leaked to outsiders. What Qinglian Jianzi did has violated the sect's rules. Even if she is Jianzi, the sister of the Pavilion Master, she cannot do such a thing as handing over the true skills to outsiders at will!"
He raised his voice: "If you were a man, you shouldn't let her take the blame!"
Liu Yuan interrupted the man's impassioned speech and asked, "Who told you that my "Close, Far Away" was taught by Qinglian Jianzi?"
Cen Shanzi was stunned, thinking that he was panicking and trying to make excuses, and sneered, "Could it be that the Pavilion Master is teaching you?"
Before he finished speaking, Liu Yuan's genuine surprised expression of "how did you know?" made his last few syllables seem a little hesitant.
Liu Yuan said leisurely: "Although he is not my brother-in-law, Jiuhua Zhenren should be the sixteenth Pavilion Master of Taiqing Pavilion."
Everyone was stunned and looked at each other.
True Man Jiuhua... was indeed the head of Taiqing Pavilion. He traveled around the world after abdicating. I also heard that he once taught in Baishan Academy for a period of time. Everything makes sense now.
Moreover, compared with the private transfer of the Qinglian Sword to others, this is actually more reasonable.
Cen Shanzi was furious: "No evidence..."
Of course, he was mostly angry because of Liu Yuan's words "brother-in-law". This was naturally done deliberately by Liu Yuan, who said it deliberately to irritate others.
Liu Yuan sneered: "You are also just empty talk. You are also shallow-minded and mean-spirited."
"you!"
"You're right. I really shouldn't let Jianzi take the blame, because she was not at fault in the first place. I must clarify this for her."
"I……"
"As for you, you are the one who forced the blame on her. As a disciple of Taiqing Pavilion, you don't believe in Qinglian Jianzi's character and just keep slandering him. I think you are the real traitor."
Cen Shanzi's face darkened and he was speechless. His expression changed several times, and in the end he even felt a little ashamed of what was said.
The surroundings fell into another kind of silence. No one expected that Jiang Feng not only had superb swordsmanship, but also had such a strong personality.
"Brother-in-law?" A calm voice suddenly came: "So, the rumors between Qinglian Jianzi and Fellow Daoist Jiang Feng are indeed true?"
Liu Yuan heard the sound and looked over.
It is a spiritual line.
"..."
He seemed to have accidentally... said something weird in public just now?
Cen Shanzi, who was standing aside, probably didn't know that his goal had been achieved in a certain sense.
Chapter 236 I Will Marry Her
In front of his wife, he indirectly admitted that he had a relationship with another woman, and in public, he took the initiative to call the other woman's brother "brother-in-law".
In all cases, this is undoubtedly a justifiable derailment.
There’s no hope of salvation even if the Golden Immortal comes, right?
Hatchet? Nice boat?
Liu Yuan, who had accidentally talked too much, had a stiff face. His heart skipped a beat and countless Bad Ending scenes flooded into his mind. He was panicking. At worst... he wouldn't kill him with a sword like Shen Sifan did, right?
Liu Yuan has even thought about the follow-up——
The biggest news reported by Qingfengfang the next day would probably be "Shocking! Mingjian Ranking rookie Jiang Feng was chopped into pieces by Yuxu Senior Sister Lingyao, and his head was taken into the sea on a boat and disappeared."
From then on, it became an unsolved case in Shangyangjie...
After a few days when the news spreads, his concubines will either avenge him and go to war with Yuxu Dao Sect, or become disheartened and follow him, or hide from the world forever...
NMD, this is definitely a realistic tragedy!
Is it possible that I can only run away?
No, calm down, calm down. Now he is no longer the powerless rookie. The situation is not out of control. Ling Yao will not be as reckless as Shen Sifan. She is the face of Yuxu Taoist sect and the candidate for the next leader. She will not destroy her own position. Under such circumstances, she will never come openly!
After careful analysis, there is still hope!
Liu Yuan looked at Ling Yao without blinking, pretending to be calm, but actually secretly observing her reaction. During this short period of time, his thoughts were working rapidly.
Ling Yao is not Shen Sifan. She had actually heard about the scandals between Liu Yuan and those women a long time ago, but until now, she had not questioned Liu Yuan about anything.
Moreover, her tone was calm, even gentle, and she did not intend to accuse anyone. It was as if she was just conducting an ordinary inquiry.
After asking the question, she did not do anything "extreme" and just waited quietly for his answer.
Liu Yuan looked at Ling Yao, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart——
Maybe, it's really just asking.
After all, Ling Yao is actually so virtuous, generous, tolerant and not jealous.
If we rank the wives in this game that Liu Yuan would first think of seeking help from, Duan Lanruo would be first, and Ling Yao would be second.
Duan Lanruo’s identity is Nascent Soul, and Ling Yao’s is her personality.
Although she looks cold, she is actually gentler than anyone else... As both are representatives of the righteous path, if Shen Sifan is upright and hates evil, then Ling Yao is gentle and compassionate. It's just that her outward gentleness is too superior, and she treats everything equally, just like Guanyin who lowers her eyes, saving all living beings but not favoring anyone over others.
However, as the only successful conqueror in the entire game, Liu Yuan has a deeper understanding of Ling Yao's inner gentleness.
If not for this, Liu Yuan would not have set Yuxu Taoist Sect as his second destination after going to Wanjian City.
Although there was Ding Huan's commission, if Ling Yao had a personality like Vihuan Luo, Liu Yuan would never go to see her when he was still weak for the sake of his own life.
After thinking a lot of random thoughts in this short glance, Liu Yuan finally calmed down. He must not panic. At least he must trust his own judgment. He even managed to deal with Vihara (although there was some luck involved), so there was no reason why he couldn't deal with Lingyao.
Yes! She has been helping me since the beginning, since she revealed Bai Shanyuan's identity!
Liu Yuan understood.
He first subconsciously glanced at Xiahou Cenyi.
The Supreme Elder was looking at him with a half-smile, standing with his hands behind his back, not saying a word.
Liu Yuan was completely relieved.
Although Xiahou Cenyi is playful, he will never act recklessly without considering the actual situation. He must be sure of something, so this is a symbol of safety.
He made up his mind and decided to just say it out loud since he had already admitted it.
Sooner or later, he will have to come into contact with the remaining characters. If the mountain doesn't come to me, I will come to the mountain. Wanjian City, Taiqing Pavilion, and Xuanyin Family combined, unless everyone else unites, he is basically invincible in Central China.
At least... the possibility of a hatchet no longer exists.
Liu Yuan coughed twice to clear his throat, his eyes fell on Ling Yao's covered face, looked into her eyes, and said, "Yes, Qing Lian Jian Zi and I once made an agreement that if one day she could defeat me, I would marry her."
Marry? In other words, marry into Taiqing Pavilion?
Everyone's faces turned a little strange... but thinking about Qinglian Jianzi's fierce temper that made him rush thousands of miles as soon as he came out of seclusion, it seemed that such strength was normal.
Because the meaning of this word was so shocking, everyone else ignored the fact that Liu Yuan's words actually contained more information.
But some people noticed that Liu Yuan's words seemed to imply that he had known Qinglian Jianzi for a long time, and since the agreement was that he "could defeat me", then of course he had not been able to defeat him before.
This means that Liu Yuan was stronger than Shen Sifan before.
However, because it was Liu Yuan who said it himself, it made people somewhat skeptical, and a trace of doubt was buried in their hearts.
Cen Shanzi's face became even uglier, as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he gritted his teeth.
But then he felt a little relieved in his heart... Since Jianzi had already made an agreement with Jiang Feng, and they had become entangled later, then the relationship between the two must be confirmed.
In this way, it is absolutely impossible for Taoist Lingyao to have any connection with him!
The true disciple of Taiqing Pavilion suddenly felt relieved.
Honestly speaking, with the strength and potential Liu Yuan has shown so far, he is very likely to shake the number one position on the Lingyao Tianbang in the future.
In other words, he is different from the others. He is a man who is qualified to have an equal dialogue with Ling Yao. In other words, if Liu Yuan pursues Ling Yao, he may succeed, and Yuxu Dao Sect will not object...
In addition, Ling Yao's unusual behavior of asking such seemingly gossipy questions is also very worrying, although if it is regarded as concern for an outstanding junior and future opponent, there is no problem.
There was an uproar all around because of Liu Yuan's words, but Ling Yao's eyes remained calm. He nodded and said, "She came to you for this agreement - did she win?"
Liu Yuan shook his head and said, "She lost."
Everyone was stunned and their eyes almost popped out.
Qinglian Jianzi...lost?
All they knew was that Qinglian Jianzi declared war on Liu Yuan on the podium, but they were not very clear about what happened before and after. As for the result of the fight, they naturally assumed that Qinglian Jianzi won.
Only now did I find out that Liu Yuan actually won?
But in this way, the explosive news such as "Newcomer Jiang Feng marries Qinglian Jianzi" that could have been talked about with relish is gone, as it actually goes against the rules.
Ling Yao didn't react either, and for the first time he looked stunned.
Liu Yuan thought that since she was not angry, she was not jealous, so he was delighted and coughed twice. In front of almost half of the sects in Zhongzhou, he said, "So I will not marry her--"
"I will marry her."
Chapter 237 Take it back to the sect and lock it up!
"I will marry her."
As soon as Liu Yuan said this, it was equivalent to confirming that all the rumors about him and Qinglian Jianzi, which had been in a state of uncertainty, were true.
Although everyone knew that the news came from Qingfengfang and was mostly true, there were always some people who had doubts in their hearts. Some were disdainful of such rootless gossip, while some, like Cen Shanzi, simply did not want to believe it.
However, some of Qinglian Jianzi's behaviors are indeed not in line with common sense.
For example, why did she go to Shuiyuewu after not finding any trace of Liu Yuan, and then go to Beifu to deal with the evil cult that had started to move again?
Some people speculated that she was heartbroken because of Liu Yuan's indecision, some said that her duty as the Green Lotus Swordsman to slay demons and defend the Way was above all else, and some said that it had nothing to do with Liu Yuan at all, and that the Green Lotus Swordsman was actually tracking down an undercover agent of the Demon Cult in Wanjian City...
In short, there are different opinions.
However, now, Liu Yuan, as the person involved, personally stated a fact that sounded like a promise, and all speculations were settled.
Cen Shanzi's eyes widened at his self-righteous tone, and he angrily said, "How could Jianzi lose to you?!"
Of course, it cannot be blamed on him being too extreme. The disciples of Taiqing Pavilion who were narrating the story also had a feeling of shattered dreams in their eyes. They just thought of Liu Yuan's sword just now, and felt that they were not strong enough, so they dared not speak.
Before Liu Yuan could retaliate, Xiahou Cenyi said calmly, "It's no wonder that she lost to my junior brother."
Cen Shanzi was so angry that his head was boiling. He said, "He..."
Then, when he met the woman's cold red eyes, it was as if a bucket of cold water was poured over his head. He calmed down instantly and even had the urge to have a cold war.
The Taiqing Pavilion's true disciple lowered his voice and whispered, "It's really not strange."
The few great men in the world who were at the Tribulation Crossing stage had to bow their heads in front of him.
It's not shameful.
The Taiqing Pavilion was completely dejected, but the other sects were enjoying watching the fun. At the same time, they did not forget that the matter was not over yet... According to the news from the Qingxue Fang, the Xuanyin Family was already negotiating a marriage with the Wanjian City.
After the Sword Ming Conference, Duan Lanruo, Lord of Wanjian City, personally admitted that he had adopted Liu Yuan as his godson, and the head of the Xuanyin family is still staying in Wanjian City.
In fact, most people originally regarded this news as nonsense, because everyone knew that the Xuanyin family did not need men at all.
However, the Xuanyin family had made a big fuss and had been searching for Liu Yuan's whereabouts near the Bailong River for a month, making it known to everyone.
A Young Master Xuanyin and a Qinglian Sword Master, does he want to marry them both?
Now that he has said that he will marry Qinglian Jianzi, how will the Xuanyin family explain it? It is possible that there will be another bloody storm...
But at least now Liu Yuan feels that he made the right bet.
After being stunned for a moment, Ling Yao's tone seemed to be a little softer. He said, "I see. But I heard that Young Master Xuanyin also wants to marry you. The head of the Ye family is discussing the marriage in Wanjian City. There are two women in a sect called Shuiyuewu in Jiang Country who almost married you. In addition... I wonder what the relationship is between these people who have been following you?"
Ling Yao's series of questions brought silence to the surroundings. After all the disciples of Tianbao Pavilion were demoted in seniority and Taiqing Pavilion was dismissed, the disciples of Yuxu Taoist sect suddenly began to panic.
Ling Jie, one of the three Yuxu beauties, looked at the senior sister, wanting to say something but stopping, and then wanting to say something again...
