Chapter 654 Master and Disciple
Seeing Jiang Baichuan approaching slowly, Hua Wuying was so shocked that he took a step back.

Jiang Baichuan in front of him gave him a very unfamiliar feeling.

In the past, Master always kept himself very clean and tidy, with his hair and beard being meticulously groomed, and his clothes not having even a wrinkle.

But at this time, Jiang Baichuan's hair and beard were a little messy, and his clothes were tattered, not to mention that there was a kind of fatigue and hostility on his face that could not be wiped off.

Although his appearance had not changed at all, in Hua Wuying's eyes, he was almost a different person.

"Teacher, Master?"

After a moment of silence, he finally called out the familiar name: "Why are you here?"

"Wherever the master wants to go, he can go there."

Jiang Baichuan said in a deep voice and walked towards Hua Wuying calmly.

Hua Wuying's heart started beating wildly.

He... didn't know how to face his former master.

But Jiang Baichuan didn't seem to care. He calmly came to Hua Wuying, glanced at him indifferently, then went to the table and looked at the sword manuals on the table and on the ground.

Then he waved his sleeves.

A light breeze blew by, and several sword manuals on the table and the floor flew out and were thrown far aside.

"You need to study sword techniques in depth. These books are of no use to you."

Jiang Baichuan said calmly: "You can read the rest of the sword manuals, but you should read more of the True Immortal Palace sword manuals that Fu Qingzhou sent. Those..."

"Master!" Hua Wuying interrupted him and gritted his teeth, "What on earth do you want to do!"

"..."

Jiang Baichuan turned his head with some confusion: "This is the Wulin League, the master is back, what's wrong?"

"This is no longer the Wulin Alliance."

Hua Wuying shook his head sadly: "The Wulin Alliance is no longer here."

"How could it be gone?" Jiang Baichuan's face became more suspicious. He spread his hands and said, "Aren't they all here?"

"Master, you..."

Hua Wuying seemed to understand something: "Who are you now?"

"Kid, why are you so strange today?" Jiang Baichuan shook his head and looked at him strangely: "If I'm not your master, then who am I?"

Hua Wuying smiled weakly and bitterly.

He had previously heard Fu Qingzhou describe in detail everything that had happened in Xiyu Pavilion, so he naturally knew that his master... was not in a good mental state.

Right now, it seems like things are getting worse.

"...Do you still remember that you are a wanted criminal by the imperial court?"

Hua Wuying asked in a hoarse voice: "Your identity as the leader of Xiyu Pavilion has been exposed, and you have assisted Wuli Village in committing many murders. Now the whole world is looking for you and wants to put you to death."

"..."

Jiang Baichuan was stunned.

There was no surprise on his face. He just twirled his beard woodenly and asked, "You know?"

"How could I not know?" Hua Wuying smiled bitterly: "This matter has become so serious, who in the world doesn't know about it?"

"Oh, that's really troublesome."

Jiang Baichuan frowned, and a flash of hostility flashed across his eyes: "It seems that the leader of Xiyu Pavilion must be killed."

"What?" Hua Wuying was startled: "What did you say?"

"Master Xiyu Pavilion, he is a trouble."

Jiang Baichuan said in a deep voice: "Kill him and everything will be fine."

Hua Wuying looked at the determined look on his master's face and finally confirmed one thing.

He's crazy.

Crazy in the truest sense of the word.

According to Fu Qingzhou, Jiang Baichuan had merged his two personalities and had an "epiphany" in Xiyu Pavilion before.

But at the moment, this so-called "enlightenment" did not last long.

Jiang Baichuan's spirit finally collapsed after reaching an extreme.

Hua Wuying held his forehead. After thinking for a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "Master, I will inform Mingjian Pavilion about what happened to you here."

"Ok?"

Jiang Baichuan frowned: "Why should I tell them? They want to see me for something?"

“……” Hua Wuying didn’t know how to explain, so he just shook his head, turned around and left.

He knew that the best option was to report the matter.

Jiang Baichuan's current condition is very dangerous.

No one knows whether he will suddenly go crazy and start killing people.

No one knows what the world looks like in his eyes.

He has gone mad, and the Wulin Alliance no longer exists. This is a foregone conclusion.

The Xuanmeng Ceremony must also be held.

Although Hua Wuying felt reluctant, he knew very well that Jiang Baichuan and the Wulin Alliance were a thing of the past and he had to move forward.

Therefore, he would never do anything to cover up or conceal anything under such circumstances.

How will Mingjian Pavilion deal with Jiang Baichuan?
Hua Wuying didn’t know.

Maybe he will be killed, maybe he will be locked up in prison until he dies of old age, or maybe he will be tortured severely to find out the situation of his "master" behind the scenes.

Hua Wuying couldn't know all this.

He only knew that his master had taught him since he was a child... cause and effect are cyclical, retribution is inevitable, good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be punished with evil.

While living in this world, one must be worthy of the heaven and earth above, worthy of one's parents in the middle, worthy of one's wife and children below, worthy of one's relatives and friends outside, and worthy of oneself at home.

In this case, if Master did something wrong, he should bear the consequences.

In an instant, Hua Wuying thought a lot.

Before leaving the library, he looked back.

Jiang Baichuan still stood there somewhat woodenly, looking down at the sword manuals on the table.

"Ugh……"

Hua Wuying sighed deeply and walked out the door.

But the next moment, the door of the library slammed shut!
His pupils shrank.

"Wuying, you can't leave."

At this time, Jiang Baichuan's calm voice came from behind: "You have broken through the sixth realm. I have just watched you use the sword, and my understanding of swordsmanship has reached a higher level. Now, you can truly enter the realm of swordsmanship."

“This is a great opportunity – you shouldn’t be distracted by other things at this time.”

He spoke very seriously, and seemed to have turned back into the good master who only cared about his beloved disciple.

Hua Wuying turned around helplessly, looked at Jiang Baichuan, and said: "Master, I..."

"do not talk."

Jiang Baichuan said calmly: "I will stay here with you. Until you have achieved something, don't leave the library again."

"With your true essence as a supplement, you don't need to take any grains or water. You just need to delve into the sword arts. If you have any questions, I will explain them to you in detail."

Hua Wuying sighed again.

He pushed the door of the library, but it didn't move.

He didn't understand what Jiang Baichuan was thinking, nor did he know what would happen next.

But it was obvious that he couldn't get out.

"Master, there are still many things to do outside." He tried to struggle: "I can come back, but I need to go out and explain things first."

"The Wulin Alliance will not cease to exist even without you and me." Jiang Baichuan remained calm, but frowned slightly: "Could it be that you don't listen to your master's words?"

Hua Wuying realized that he really couldn't leave.

He glanced at the lunch box lying on the ground, untouched.

Maybe some of my fellow junior brothers and sisters will come over... Let's see if we can pass on the message by then.

He took a deep breath and smiled gently, "Got it, Master. I will start studying the Hundred Sword Techniques now."
