Chapter 97 Envy, Jealousy and Hatred
Chapter 97 Envy, Jealousy and Hatred (Second update at am)
Cheng Shengfei uttered a low cry and immediately covered his mouth. He looked at Li Wuxiang and then at Cheng Peixin with his pair of dark eyes.
Cheng Peixin didn't seem to understand what Li Wuxiang meant: "Daoyou, the dish you are talking about is..."
"That thing seemed to be a statue of Taiyi that had turned into a spirit. I made a small cut and found that it was full of blood, flesh and internal organs." Li Wuxiang sighed, "Now that I think about it, it's actually quite interesting - a clay statue, under the power of incense and prayers, actually came to life. If it wasn't so comforting to watch it do things, I might have spared its life. But that thing was so ungrateful that I couldn't do anything about it."
Cheng Peixin was stunned for a while: "Those three thunder spells..."
Li Wuxiang smiled, and Cheng Peixin then exclaimed: "I am so rude. I shouldn't have asked you about your methods. Sect Master, you are really...really...I didn't expect that the swordsman's skills have such power. Sect Master, you are only at the foundation--"
Li Wuxiang waved his hand and said, "Ah, Master, you are too kind. Our Sword Sect, ha, this Qi training is not very special. This time I was able to deal with the evil spirit, but I couldn't do it when I was building my foundation."
Cheng Peixin's expression relaxed, as if she was relieved. She thought for a moment and asked, "Did your friend from the Swordsman Sect also come to Deyang?"
"That's not the case. It's just that when I was fighting with it, I felt something in my heart. It just happened to be promoted to the realm of Qi Refining, and it was no match for me."
Cheng Peixin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook her head: "Daoyou, you are too modest. You don't have to blame yourself too much. I and some practitioners in the city know that the things in the Martial Temple are difficult to deal with, but they are not really unmanageable. It's just that they don't usually do evil, and sometimes they even do some good things, so we ignored them. But since they have offended you, it is my duty to eliminate the demons and defend the Dao."
Li Wuxiang was about to speak when Cheng Peixin smiled again and said, "I'll go to the back to see how the child is doing. Daoist friend, you haven't slept all night, go and catch up on some sleep first."
Li Wuxiang nodded: "Okay. Thank you for your help."
Cheng Peixin smiled again and walked towards the backyard. After passing through the small door and entering the yard, she took a deep breath and said, "My heart feels it, it's just right... My heart feels it, it's just right... Fei'er, what do you mean that a person would feel it, it's just right when fighting with that fake Taiyi? Is his sword sect's skills so amazing? He was able to advance to Qi Refining at that time?"
As she spoke, she walked quickly, stopped in front of the utility room door, and twisted her sleeves with her hands: "Even if I were to fight that monster, I would still get hurt, how come he doesn't have any injuries at all? Who knows what magic weapon he has... They are swordsmen who travel around everywhere, so it's not surprising if they have some powerful magic weapon."
Cheng Shengfei followed behind her: "Master, you..."
Cheng Peixin turned around and stared at her: "Tell me, me, Yu Zhaotong, and the people in the City Lord's Mansion, which one of us can't defeat that monster? It's just that we are too lazy to care, because that monster is also a rule, who would waste some elixir and energy to do a thankless task? The monster's cultivation is slow, what can it achieve? We are just too lazy to care..."
Cheng Shengfei sighed and held her hand: "Master, you are angry again."
"I'm angry? What a joke!" Cheng Peixin raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Why should I be angry? I'm just, I'm just..."
Cheng Shengfei tightened his grip again, and Cheng Peixin was stunned for a while, then she let out a long breath and calmed down. After a while, she sighed again: "This world is really... Why are some people like this and some people like that? He is so young, I don't know if he has passed 20 this year. He is also refining Qi... and he has so much youth and lifespan, maybe he can even form a pill, alas."
Cheng Shengfei took her hand and shook it: "In fact, whether you help him dissolve Xu Daosheng's soul or not, it's just a matter of Zhen Xing Dao knowing what's going on here two months earlier or later. No matter it's early or late, when people come to find him, he will no longer be here. So why should you help?"
Cheng Peixin frowned, and Cheng Shengfei smiled and said, "Because you told me, Master, that those who offended the Swordsman, except those who stayed in the sect, none of them had a good end. Those who helped the Swordsman, none of them did not get their thanks. Master, you want to make friends with him, right? Then don't be angry, he is so powerful, isn't it a good thing for us?" Cheng Peixin finally let out a breath, "Okay, I'm not angry anymore."
After thinking for a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "After a while, maybe we won't have to endure the anger anymore. By then, we'll see who can still look down on us."
"Huh? Why?"
Cheng Peixin smiled again, and seemed to be in a really good mood: "Don't ask too much, you will know when the time comes. How much money is left in the temple?"
"There is still about a hundred taels of silver in cash, and there is still some confiscated in the shops outside."
"Okay, take the money and go shopping first."
Cheng Shengfei was stunned: "This is going to..."
"Well, he's a swordsman after all. He won't be happy to see that scene. Let's spend some money. We don't need too much food. Just ask the store to prepare enough for a few hundred people and three or four days." Cheng Pei thought for a moment and took a step closer to Cheng Shengfei. "There's one more thing I need to do. You have to hurry up, but don't let him know. They, the swordsmen, only worship Taiyi. If he's unhappy, there's no need to offend him."
She lowered her voice and explained a few words carefully. Cheng Shengfei felt a little strange at first, but after thinking about it, he smiled and said, "I don't think he will be unhappy. On the contrary, he will be happy. But Master, I am also happy to do this. To be honest, I still want to..."
She wanted to say "I still want to be a swordsman", but she stopped herself when the words came to her lips. She felt that her master was upset just now, and there was no need to make her feel upset at this time.
But she didn't expect Cheng Peixin to raise her hand and touch her hair, then rub her head: "Wait a few more days. I know what you are thinking, wait a few days and see. You are my only...disciple, listen to the master, I will not harm you."
Having said this, he sighed slightly, held Cheng Shengfei's face and looked at him: "If you are really curious about the swordsman, just talk to him and ask him about his travels. He is not a bad person."
After Cheng Shengfei left, he still felt a little dizzy, wondering what happened to his master today. He was clearly jealous of Master Li's high talent and strong cultivation not long ago, but now he is happy - why?
She thought about this as she walked a few steps down the street. At this time, some early risers who lived on the street also went out, but they went out much earlier than her - they went to the nearby market to buy some breakfast first, then walked back slowly, and when they saw her, they bowed their heads respectfully to greet her, and then continued chatting.
Cheng Shengfei paid some attention, wanting to hear what they were talking about the Taiyi Temple.
Although she did not personally perform the task of slaying demons and defending the Way, the Taiyi Swordsman who did it was in the temple, and she felt honored for it.
But unexpectedly, these people were not talking about Taiyi Temple, but the Ma Xing Street Market not far away -
"Yes, it's really scary to hear people say that. After the shopkeeper built the wall, he left two small windows the size of a palm on the wall. It looked like Sun Dihuang was about to squeeze out from such a small window. His head was squeezed out of shape and his face skin was squeezed off. He must have died of pain..."
