Chapter 957 Admirers

The candlelight flickered, the aroma of medicine filled the air, the night was dark outside the window, and the snoring of two soldiers in the room could be heard one after another.

Hua Ruying slowly opened her eyes.

However, his eyes were still confused and distracted, without any focus or inspiration, and he seemed as if he was still not awake.

This is exactly the effect Hua Xiaolan wants.

Today she used some of the medicine she brought with her, combined with some herbs in the clinic, to make a perfect prescription. No matter what they talked about tonight, Hua Ruying would only think that he had a dream, and when he woke up after recovering from his injury, he would not remember anything.

The little scorpion quietly crawled back into Hua Xiaolan's sleeve, and she also asked the first question.

"Do you know Hua Wuying?"

Hearing this name, Hua Ruying's expression changed slightly. Her dull eyes revealed a bit of yearning. Then she opened her mouth and said slowly, "I know him. He is... my benefactor."

Hua Xiaolan was slightly stunned.

benefactor?

She hurriedly said, "Tell me how you met him and how he helped you!"

"More than three years ago..."

Hua Ruying answered mechanically, "Because of my extraordinary talent, I was noticed by Huijue, who accepted me as his third-generation disciple and gave me the Dharma name Fajian... Huijue helped me open my martial arts skills and led me into the realm of cultivation. He then took me to join King Xishuo..."

He was the young monk Fajian whom Hua Wuying had met when he was captured and imprisoned in King Xishuo's camp.

Originally, Huijue just thought that he had some talent, so he accepted him as a disciple of Yuanzhao, and had no intention of making important use of him.

But because Yuanzhao was rescued by Fu Qingzhou and turned back into Li Qing, Huijue's plans were repeatedly frustrated. Whether it was the spread of the plague or the bursting of the Hongjiang River, they were all solved by Fu Qingzhou and the people he led. A large number of monks in disaster were also killed, and many of them ran away when they saw that the situation was not right.

As a result, there were very few people left around Huijue, and Fajian, who was good at speaking and smart, rose to become his confidant.

But this confidant also had a hard time.

At that time, his cultivation was at a low level, and he could not do much. He could only run errands and deliver messages, but this had already brought him enough psychological pressure - what Huijue and King Xishuo did was too horrible in his view!

Fajian just wanted to achieve something and stand out, and he never thought of doing something as big as a rebellion!

But once you're on board, it's not easy to get off.

Afterwards, Huijue's plans repeatedly failed, and his status in the Xishuo King's camp declined greatly. He was gradually ignored, and Fajian's status naturally plummeted. Not only did he not get the status and strength he wanted, he also became a rebel and did things that would cost him his life...

All this changed after Hua Wuying arrived.

Fa Jian was originally only ordered to be a temporary jailer and go to guard Hua Wuying. The reason was very simple. At that time, he was the only one with low strength and nothing to do, so naturally he just went wherever he was needed.

Unexpectedly, Hua Wuying actually showed him the sword manual of the Spectral Shadow Sword in prison!
Although Fajian has been practicing for a short time, as a messenger beside Huijue, he knows more news and information than many old hands and famous masters, so naturally he knows what a good thing this is!

He also knew that the reason why the unrivaled sword demon Jiang Baichuan was determined to capture Hua Wuying was for the sword manual!
Therefore, Fajian read the sword manual despite the great danger. Of course, he knew why Hua Wuying showed him the sword manual, but so what?
How many people would be willing to give themselves such a good thing?

Huijue said he wanted to cultivate himself, but what did he come up with? Nothing real!
Therefore, at that moment, Fajian already regarded Hua Wuying as his benefactor.

Although it was not a complete sword manual and he had no chance of understanding it at that time, he still relied on his powerful memory to remember every word written by Hua Wuying.

Afterwards, during the Xuanmeng Ceremony and the chaos in Yanguo, Fajian quietly wrote out the sword manual he had memorized in his mind and began to practice sword!
Before that, he secretly revealed some secrets about Huijue to Hua Wuying, hoping that after Fu Qingzhou's side won, Hua Wuying would be able to help him and save him from the rebel camp. Unfortunately, the country soon became chaotic and he never had the chance to leave.

On the contrary, at that time, King Xishuo's camp had suffered heavy casualties among its masters and was losing talented people. They needed a large number of talents when they started their rebellion, so they recruited Fajian, Huijue's former confidant, and trained him as an elite soldier.

Huijue was no longer around, so there was no need for him to be a monk anymore, so he grew his hair long and gave himself a name...

"I was originally just a nameless grassroots in the countryside. It was the hero Hua Wuying who brought a turning point in my life. Therefore, I named myself Hua Ruying, hoping that one day I could be like him."

Hua Ruying said expressionlessly.

Hua Xiaolan was overwhelmed with emotions after hearing this.

She knew vaguely that Hua Wuying was arrested that year, but she didn't know what Hua Wuying had experienced specifically.

"That's who you are, Wuying."

Hua Xiaolan looked out the window and laughed: "No matter where you are, no matter what desperate situation you are in, you will change the people around you unconsciously."

But soon, she lowered her head and looked at Hua Ruying again, her eyes cold again: "But you still became a general in the Xishuo Army."

"I do not know what to do."

Hua Ruying's face showed a trace of pain and embarrassment: "When we joined the Xishuo Army, we cut our blood into wine and drank it to swear an oath. I thought it was just a ceremony, but later I learned that it was the ghost cultivation method of the 'lord'. It has left a mark in our souls. If we betray the Xishuo Army, we will live a life worse than death, and even our souls will be detained!"

"I am in great pain, but I have no other choice. I have tried to find out about Master Hua, but I have never heard anything... It's as if he has disappeared from the face of the earth."

"But I also have to live my life... I can't sacrifice my life for someone who is insignificant and may even be dead."

"Hero Hua is my benefactor, but he is not everything to me. What I really want is to stand out and be at the top of everyone!"

Although Hua Ruying was not sober, her tone became heavier: "What I have to do now is to climb to the top of the Xishuo Army! I want to get rid of the mark that the lord left on my soul. I want to be a free man!"

"Before this, I can endure and play my role well... But in the end, every one of those who bullied me and looked down on me will die!"

Hua Xiaolan narrowed her eyes.

This is an interesting person...

A Hua Wuying admirer who holds a high position in the Xishuo Army, and is also a thorn in the Xishuo Army camp...

Maybe, you can use it?
