I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

"Xie Bing", with a burly figure and a stern and silent face, fell to the ground.

Then he calmly moved his slightly sprained foot.

Still not enough land fell.

This is naturally Xie Yuan.

Pretending to be Xie Bing but not putting much effort into it, he glanced at the courtyard.

The courtyard is large and covered with blue bricks. There is a garden next to it with sparse bamboo shadows.

Xie Qian placed a table and chairs nearby, with a covered bowl of tea on the table, as if he was enjoying the rare winter sunshine in Shu.

However, Xie Yuan had already seen from the sky that he was holding an account book, standing there in a daze, with a frown on his face, obviously absent-minded.

Xie Yuan spoke in Xie Bing's solemn and heavy tone:
"Elder Qian, I am here on the orders of the Patriarch to investigate the missing elixir."

Xie Qian frowned and said coldly:

"What is there to investigate? I've made it clear, it was Yuan Yong who did it."

"But his report is very different from yours."

Xie Yuan said calmly.

Xie Qian frowned:
"He is just an outsider. How could the family prefer to trust an outsider instead of me, the elder?"

"No. The head of the family has never convicted anyone. He just wants to understand the matter clearly and clear Elder Qian's grievances. This is the purpose of my coming here."

Xie Yuan spoke in a flat tone, his eyes fixed on Xie Qian.

"Unfair? Doesn't this mean I have a problem?"

Xie Qian suddenly opened his eyes wide and snorted heavily:
"This young boy is so ignorant that he can't tell right from wrong! Xie Bing, do you believe his nonsense?"

"The master's orders must be obeyed."

Xie Yuan said calmly.

Xie Qian's face looked very unhappy:
"You are one of the most experienced elders in the clan. As the head of Longwu Academy, many masters in the clan are considered your disciples. You have a high status, so why do you listen to a kid's orders?"

Xie Yuan's face was calm:

"Recently, the tribe has been united and on guard against external enemies, and the situation has gradually stabilized. I think he is leading the team well."

"How can a country boy who is young and weak, and only in the Transformation Stage, sit on the throne of the head of the family? The family has been stable recently, and I think there is more than one voice. Xie Bing, don't you dislike weak younger generations the most?"

Xie Qian frowned and stared at Xie Yuan.

Xie Yuan still had a calm expression and said:
"He is extremely talented, extremely intelligent, upright, and of excellent character. I, Xie Bing, am very convinced that he is the head of the family."

Xie Qian's expression was a little stiff.

He never thought that the head of Longwu Academy, who was always rude to everyone, would respect Xie Yuan so much.

Xie Qian's expression changed, he let out a long sigh, and said coldly:

"Since you listen to this little guy so much, then go ahead and investigate. Humph, he is so stupid and weak, I really don't know how anyone can believe him."

Xie Yuan followed Xie Qian into the large and elegant study.

Xie Qian's face was tense, but he kept glancing at Xie Yuan out of the corner of his eye.

When he entered the study, he sat down behind the desk, took out a heavy black brocade box and threw it to Xie Yuan.

“The stuff was originally put in here.

"That day, Yuan Yong came here and found me, saying that he had found something for Xie Yi and asked me to take good care of it and send it back to the clan.

"After he finished speaking, he went to rest. I saw that he was extremely tired and had done a great deed, so I didn't think much about it. But this thing was handed to me, and I didn't know what the taboos were, so I had to take it carefully.

"However, not long after, I felt something strange happen in the box. It seemed to have become much lighter, so I quickly opened it and took a look.

"An indescribable fragrance emanated from it. At that moment, even I was in a trance. I seemed to... seemed to see myself returning to the age of a toddler learning to speak. And it seemed as if I had grown old in an instant. My heart was at peace, just waiting to go home."

Xie Qian's expression changed slightly, as if he was recalling that wonderful feeling.

"But I woke up immediately, and when I looked closely, the box was empty, with only a faint lingering fragrance."

Xie Yuan held the heavy box with intricate carvings on it, knowing that it was a magic weapon specially used to store top-grade elixirs.

He opened it and saw that it was covered with a special red cloth, which was big enough to hold medicine as long as his forearm, but there was nothing inside and even the smell of the medicine had long dissipated.

Xie Yuan said slowly:
"So Elder Qian means that the Manjusri has disappeared? From the hands of your great master?"

Xie Qian's face was a little stiff, but he still nodded heavily:

"Not a single word of what I said was false."

Xie Yuan nodded slowly:

"What do you think is the reason for this, Elder Qian?"

Xie Qian's face suddenly became solemn:

"It must be Yuan Yong who did this! He handed the brocade box to me and left immediately without saying anything, waiting for something to happen. Then he came back soon after and accused me of messing with the brocade box and having ulterior motives! It's clear that he had some plan to frame me!"

Xie Yuan did not comment:

"Does Elder Qian have any evidence to back up his claims? And why did he do so?"

"What proof do you need? I'm telling the truth! Humph. Purpose? Most likely he was bribed by an outsider and wants to cause internal strife in our Xie family!"

Xie Qian said firmly.

Xie Yuan just looked at Xie Qian with a slightly excited expression, and then listened quietly.

He asked calmly:

"Okay. Elder Qian said so. As a fellow Xie clan member and a fellow elder, I have confidence in you.

"But since the facts are so clear, why doesn't Elder Qian return to explain? Logically, it's time for him to report on his work."

After Xie Qian heard the first half of Xie Yuan's sentence, his expression relaxed, but when he heard the second half, his expression suddenly changed again.

He was silent for a while, then lowered his voice:
"You already don't believe me. If it's like this, how can we explain it clearly when we go back? I have sent people to the Western Regions to find a replacement. I will talk about other things after I make up for it."

Xie Yuan was slightly startled when he heard this, his expression was a little strange, and he said slowly:

“It turns out that Elder Qian feels that he has caused trouble.”

"How can this be considered as causing trouble...it's just that the problem did happen on my end."

Xie Qian retorted subconsciously, but after a pause, he continued speaking slowly.

Xie Yuan's thoughts turned rapidly.

He didn't know much about Xie Qian before. Since Xie Qian was away all year round, he had only seen Xie Qian once since he returned and didn't have much impression of him.

But Xie Yuan had done his homework before coming.

I heard that Xie Qian is as his name suggests, a peaceful person. He is considered a good guy in the clan and is also good at socializing outside and making good friends with other forces.

His reputation was very good, so when Cui Pingjun first heard the news, she was very surprised. If she had not trusted Xie Qian, she would not have asked Yuan Yong to ask Xie Qian for help after returning to Zhongyuan.

But don't judge a book by its cover. Xie Qian has been outside and has dealings with many powerful forces, so his interpersonal relationships are very complicated.

It is hard to know if he was really bewitched.

But now it seems that he is afraid to return to his tribe because he knows he has caused trouble? And he is still trying to make amends?

If this is true, then Xie Qian's suspicion can be greatly cleared.

Xie Yuan did not believe it immediately. He hesitated for a moment and said:
"Elder Qian, our tribe's business rarely involves the Western Regions. This magical flower, Manjusaka, needs to be replanted. Where are you going to find it?"

"I have inquired a lot and heard that there is a clump of Manjusari flowers in the royal garden of the Kingdom of Kucha. It is the purest species and will bloom soon. One of them is newly planted. I have sent someone with precious treasures to ask for it."

Xie Qian explained.

Xie Yuan looked at him and nodded slowly.

"I understand. Elder Qian, let's go check on Yuan Yong again."

"Come with me."

Xie Qian stood up, opened the study door, and motioned Xie Yuan to go first.

When Xie Yuan was about to cross the threshold, a light flashed in Xie Qian's eyes, and he suddenly and silently extended a palm.

The palm strike came suddenly, but the force in the palm strike was extremely powerful, and an aura emanating from it made the entire study room become stagnant, which was frightening.

Just as the palm was about to hit Xie Yuan, Xie Yuan's body suddenly shook, and he raised his left hand in an instant to block Xie Qian's attack.

With a bang, the two palms intersected, and all the strength was compressed within the palms without leaking out at all, showing that both of them had excellent control.

Xie Yuan activated the Great Golden River Skill and the Indestructible Blood Qi at the same time, merging them into a strand of Grandmaster's Source Energy, which he injected into his palm.

Although it was not much, the power of this palm was greatly increased, and with the continuous and overlapping support of the Dajinhe Gong, it firmly blocked this palm.

Xie Qian felt the endless force, his body swayed, and he withdrew his hands and stepped back.

This time, they are evenly matched.

However, Xie Qian looked at Xie Yuan with a very serious expression and said:
"You are not Xie Bing."

Xie Yuan remained calm:

"Why did Elder Qian say that?"

"Although your palm power is good, how could the head of Longwu Academy only have this much strength? I have always had doubts about your aura."

Xie Qian said in a serious tone.

Xie Yuan glanced at him and said calmly:
"I was injured before, and I haven't fully recovered yet, so I can't play to my full strength."

Xie Qian's brows twitched when he heard him say this.

You're injured, but you're still running outside?
His expression changed for a while, and he suddenly accepted this statement:
"I've heard of it, but I didn't expect it to have such a long-lasting impact?"

"Yuan Zhen and Yao Yu will be hard to deal with if they join forces."

"Okay, let's go."

Xie Qian led the way again, as if what had just happened had not happened.

Xie Yuan followed him, walked through the corridor and courtyard, and came to another small courtyard in the mansion.

Xie Qian opened the gate, and just as the sound of the iron lock rang, he heard a cold snort from inside:

"Xie Qian, why are you being so hypocritical again? You have evil intentions and you want to frame me!"

When Xie Qian heard this, his face turned angry and he opened the gate.

"Yuan Yong! The clan has sent people to investigate. You'd better tell the truth as soon as possible to avoid further offense!"

There was a thin man in the yard, about thirty years old, with a weather-beaten face, a firm gaze, and a very capable temperament.

However, his aura was flat at this time, and it seemed that Xie Qian had used some tricks on him, so he couldn't use any strength at all, just like an ordinary person.

When Yuan Yong heard Xie Qian's words, his expression suddenly changed and he looked behind him.

Someone from the tribe finally came? Who is it?

However, a figure he had never expected appeared, and he was stunned.

"Home, head of the family?"

Yuan Yong cried out.

"Xie Yi" walked in, glanced at him calmly, and sighed:
"Yuan Yong, when Pingjun and I happened to save you, you were still a teenager. It has been more than 20 years, right? I didn't expect that you would work for the Xie family for so long. You have worked hard."

Yuan Yong's expression changed constantly, with a mixture of surprise and shock, and he murmured:

"Master, are you okay?"

"I woke up a long time ago, but I just happened to take this opportunity to see what was happening in the tribe. Lying in bed as a patient, I realized that things in the world are so different. I never thought you would betray me."

Xie Yi sighed:
"Yuan Yong, why is this?"

Yuan Yong's face turned pale, and he stammered for a long time before mumbling:

"Master, I didn't betray you! It's all..."

"No need to explain. Pingjun's instructions to you should be that you take the elixir and let Xie Qian escort you back, not that you should hand over the elixir."

Xie Yi shook his head and said:
"You are also an elder who works for the clan. With your alertness and intelligence, how could you not know the clan's situation and the true meaning? But you still threw the things directly to Xie Qian, right?"

Yuan Yong's face suddenly turned pale and he whispered:

"Master, I have no intention of harming you! If it is harmful to you, I would not do it even if you kill me!"

"If I really haven't woken up yet, then you're ruining my elixir and delaying my recovery. Isn't that harming me?"

Xie Yi said coldly.

Yuan Yong looked miserable and sighed:

"Master, I was forced to do this. I didn't find the Manjusari sha flower in the first place..."

When he saw Xie Yi, he had lost his guard and seemed relieved. He began to tell the whole story in a swift and clear manner.

Manjusaka is a sacred flower from the Western Regions, priceless and hard to obtain.

Not to mention the flower of rebirth, that is the most precious treasure among all the treasures of heaven and earth. Yuan Yong traveled all over the Western Regions for several months. Although he had some information, he had no way of obtaining it with his strength and influence. He had to prepare to ask for help from his family.

Just then, an old friend told him the news of this treasure. Yuan Yong was immediately excited and, with the introduction of his friend, he met a mysterious master.

However, as soon as he met the master in a secret place, he was subdued.

He was a master who used a secret method to pry out the well-hidden family information from his mouth, and then subdued his family.

Yuan Yong had a sad face:
"Master, I gave birth to seven children in a row. I had almost used up all the names of my sisters, Zhaodi, Pandi, and finally I gave birth to a boy with my lover to carry on the family line of my Yuan family... Then I was found by this mysterious person, who asked me to do this one order, only this one.

"He gave me the remaining petals of Manjusari shahua and asked me to give them to Elder Qian. After that, I don't need to worry about the rest."

Xie Yi nodded slowly and asked again:

"Who is this person? What is his intention in doing this?"

Yuan Yong shook his head:
"I don't know. He has been hiding in his cloak. I can't tell his height, weight, or even whether he is a man or a woman. As for his purpose..."

He hesitated and whispered:
"He asked me to insist that it was Elder Qian's fault. I feel like he must be an acquaintance of Elder Qian and seems to have been in contact with Elder Qian."

Xie Yi glanced at him and said calmly:
"I see."

His tone was noncommittal, which instantly made Yuan Yong a little nervous.

Then Xie Yi waved his hand and let Yuan Yong stay alone, but in fact he continued to keep him under house arrest.

It was only half a day later.

Xie Yi, wearing a wide robe with big sleeves, suddenly descended from the sky, bringing with him several figures.

boom.

A hooded figure is thrown to the ground, dead or alive.

There was also a charming woman and a chubby boy who were also brought into the courtyard by Xie Yi.

Yuan Yong was stunned, looking at his lover and his only child, and then at the extremely powerful mysterious man.

He didn't expect that Xie Yi would finish everything in just a short time. The man in black who had once made him completely unable to resist was like a dead dog in front of Xie Yi.

As expected of the head of the family.

Yuan Yong shuddered, fear and nervousness appeared in his eyes. He glanced at his family and knelt in front of Xie Yi:

"Master! Thank you for saving my family. I will never forget your kindness!"

He burst into tears and fell at Xie Yi's feet.

Xie Yi's face was calm, and he said slowly:

"Yuan Yong, considering that you have served the family for many years, your merits and demerits will be offset, so you can leave now."

He looked straight ahead, not looking at Yuan Yong under his feet:

"I still remember how you fought for a bite of food and a promise among a bunch of beggars who were older and stronger than you. You were brave and resourceful, and finally resisted bravely and refused to surrender. I hope I remember what you looked like at that time."

Yuan Yong couldn't believe that Xie Yi let him go like that.

But when he heard the latter part, his face showed real sadness. He hesitated for a moment, kowtowed three times to Xie Yi, and then left in silence with his family.

When leaving the courtyard, Yuan Yong knew that given Xie Yi's character, he really would not pursue the matter.

He felt relieved, with hope shining in his eyes. He took his lover and child to a secret mansion of his own and closed the door.

He sternly stopped his crying lover, and then picked up his son who was frightened and stunned. Yuan Yong searched the child's body for a while, and confirmed that everything was intact, and couldn't help but smile.

He took off the longevity lock, hurriedly handed his son to his lover, and then looked at the lock in his hand with shining eyes.

Yuan Yong is only in his thirties, and he has plenty of time to have a son.

Compared to having an offspring, the secret method that could allow him to change his qualifications and break through to the Grandmaster was something he couldn't refuse.

After entering the room, Yuan Yong twisted the longevity lock a few times, and the sound of the mechanism was heard. A gap appeared in the lock core, and inside was a piece of silk book as thin as a cicada's wing, rolled into a very thin scroll.

He excitedly took out the silk book and unfolded it, unable to help but whisper excitedly:

"I also have the marrow cleansing method on the saint's relic, so I hope..."

He was halfway through his speech when he suddenly froze, because the silk book was completely blank.

In the small courtyard.

Xie Qian looked at the illusory light in "Xie Bing's" eyes, and then Yuan Yong just sat there in a daze, not saying a word, which made him feel a little weird.

Although Xie Bing, as the head of Longwu Academy, is proficient in many secret techniques in addition to cultivation and fighting, it has never been heard that he knows any advanced illusion or soul-stealing techniques, which are not the strengths of the Xie family.

I use it right away, without even trying to install it.

Xie Qian's mind was slightly moved, but he still pretended not to see it.

After a moment, Xie Yuan retracted the Heavenly Illusion Technique, looked at Yuan Yong with a startled look on his face, and said directly:
"Let me bring your family back first, and then I'll tell you about framing the elders."

Yuan Yong looked at Xie Bing in front of him and had no idea what was going on.

Seeing Xie Bing coming and going like the wind and leaving without asking any questions, he couldn't help but feel uneasy, knowing that he probably didn't need to say anything.

Thinking of the blurry ending of the dream and the fact that no one else witnessed it, Yuan Yong felt a little lucky.

Maybe, maybe he didn't see the whole picture? He just thought I was coerced...

Xie Yuan and Xie Qian left the courtyard. Xie Qian looked at him sideways and said coldly:
"Does Elder Bing know that I was wrongly accused?"

Xie Yuan had learned about Yuan Yong in detail from Cui Pingjun. When he sensed something was wrong, he did not hesitate to use the Heavenly Illusion Technique to attack the suspect who was not even a Grandmaster, and then he knew everything.

It is probably not clear which enemy wants to disintegrate the Xie family's power in the three western states, so they plan to frame Xie Qian and let the Xie family fight among themselves, and then take advantage of the situation here.

This plan was difficult to see through quickly, as it incited the confidants that Xie Yi and Cui Pingjun trusted to rebel. Even if it was solved, it would most likely create a rift between Xie Yi and Cui Pingjun, and the enemy's goal would still be achieved.

However, Xie Yuan was unreasonable and just watched the whole situation from the sidelines, and understood everything in his mind.

He showed a gentle look and said lightly:

"The head of the family has never believed that Elder Qian would betray the family, so he solemnly asked me to investigate. Elder Qian, please don't worry too much. I think the head of the family also knows the situation."

Xie Qian snorted softly and said calmly:
"What should we do now?" "Go and rescue Yuan Yong's precious son, and then find out who is responsible for this."

Xie Yuan said as a matter of course.

Xie Qian frowned slightly:

"We still don't know who the enemy is. If it's a master from the Wang family, you... you're injured. If we can't defeat him, that won't be good."

"I believe in Elder Qian's strength."

Xie Yuan looked at the elder with a rather kind facial features and smiled.

Although there is indeed a danger of being unaware of the enemy's situation, as long as the enemy is not a high-level master who has passed the Bridge of Heaven, Xie Yuan can rely on the Indestructible Golden Bell Cover and the Sky Concealment Technique to protect himself without any problem, even if he has just made a breakthrough.

And such a master, no matter how wealthy his power is, would not use it to handle such a small matter.

Xie Qian's expression darkened. He vaguely understood what Xie Yuan meant, but didn't say much.

The two of them didn't need to make much preparation and went straight to a seemingly ordinary house in Yizhou Prefecture.

Xie Qian frowned:

"Here? It's so small. How can we rescue Yuan Yong's family if the enemy holds them hostage? And there's also the risk of the Grandmaster taking action..."

"Leave the family to me, and leave the enemies to Elder Qian. I believe that with your control, there will be no problem."

Xie Yuan said calmly.

Xie Qian pursed his lips slightly.

This little guy is quite cunning.

He did not hesitate, made some preparations, suddenly broke open the gate and rushed in, shouting coldly:

"Who is this evil person who is committing a crime against my Chenjun Xie family?"

Xie Qian swept his spiritual sense around and took in everything that was going on in the courtyard.

There were several ordinary auras and a very powerful figure coming towards them!
Swish.

Xie Qian was suddenly stunned.

Wait, what the hell flashed by?

Xie Qian only felt a powerful aura flash through his consciousness, but it was not directed at him, and there was no trace of it when he looked again.

But there were suddenly two fewer ordinary people in the room.

The powerful enemy seemed to be stunned for a moment, and his movements suddenly stopped.

Then, the enemy's momentum suddenly retreated, and he actually broke through the roof and escaped!

Were you scared away immediately?

Xie Qian's face darkened. If he let him run away, he would never be able to clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

He immediately displayed his skills and transformed into an incredibly swift beam of light, chasing after him.

Judging from his physical skills, Xie Qian was extremely extraordinary and quite powerful. To be an elder of foreign affairs, his combat power was naturally guaranteed.

However, the enemy's speed was not slower than his at all. The distance between them not only did not shorten, but was increasing little by little.

One chasing and one fleeing, they rushed out of Yizhou Prefecture in the blink of an eye. Seeing that the enemy was about to escape, Xie Qian suddenly became a little anxious.

suddenly.

A shadow crossed the sky and arrived in an instant.

Xie Qian watched helplessly as the blurry shadow passed him, chased after the enemy from behind, and quickly shortened the distance between them.

After a while.

With a powerful sword energy bursting out, Xie Yuan has caught up with the enemy and thrust out a sword!
The mysterious man felt the extremely sharp sword energy pointing directly at his back. In an instant, his hair stood on end and he sensed an extremely strong sense of danger.

He turned around quickly, not daring to hold back at all, and swung his sword with a streak that cut through the sky, heading towards Xie Yuan's unparalleled sword energy.

boom!
Amidst the loud noise, Xie Yuan and the enemy retreated.

Xie Yuan's hand trembled, and a golden light flashed slightly, eliminating the recoil force.

The enemy's skills were very strong, much better than his, and he was definitely not a new master.

But even with his full-strength sword, he did not have a clear advantage over Xie Yuan.

Xie Yuan looked at the opponent's martial arts and narrowed his eyes. The enemy did not dare to hold back and had already revealed his true strength.

At this moment, Xie Qian arrived and looked at me with a frown:
"Which expert of the Wang family is hiding his true intentions and what does he want to do to our Xie family?"

He raised his sword, and a sword energy that soared into the sky suddenly slashed towards the Wang family's master.

The man's face darkened. Feeling the pressure from Xie Qian's relentless attack, he raised his sword and swung it towards Xie Qian.

The blinding lights connected into one, and the sounds of explosions continued to ring out. The air was filled with the sword energy emitted by the battle between the two great masters, which brought up a hurricane and had become a desperate situation.

Neither of them held back, and they were evenly matched for a moment, and it was obvious that both of them were very strong.

Fortunately, they had already left the city and were at high altitude outside Yizhou Prefecture, so they could fight without any worries.

The Wang family's master was entangled and unable to escape, and his heart sank.

He was not afraid of Xie Qian. Although both of them were strong, neither of them could do anything to the other.

What he was worried about was the vague figure that had been flitting around nearby.

He didn't know who that person was, but his body movements were extremely impressive, and his swordsmanship was extremely sharp. He felt that his skills were not actually very high, but he could bring him a great threat, even more than Xie Qian.

He was always by my side, making it difficult for me to move freely. I felt extremely heavy-hearted and just wanted to get away as soon as possible.

The sword light crossed the sky and the earth, and in the sky it was like thunder in the sky.

The Wang family's master frowned, feeling that Xie Qian had acted extremely ruthlessly today for some reason, as if he had completely disregarded his own safety.

Is it because he has someone backing him up that he is playing rogue? Although he wanted to leave, he was instead stuck in a tough fight.

Don’t delay. The longer you delay, the harder it will be!

The Wang family's master was obviously very decisive and made up his mind in an instant.

With a loud bang, a tangible aura suddenly burst out from his body, turning into a strong wind that surrounded his body.

At the same time, his swordsmanship had become invisible, his speed had increased immeasurably, his power was even more powerful, and the dazzling sword light almost overwhelmed the sun.

He directly used his trump card, telling his opponent that if he insisted on keeping him, he would definitely pay a huge price today!
Xie Qian's eyes darkened, and then the sleeves of his robe fluttered and suddenly expanded.

choke--

He swung his sword, and with a dragon's roar, the nearby clouds were shattered.

The fierce sword energy turned into a long dragon and surged forward.

Grandmaster Wang's pupils shrank, and he looked stern, saying:

"Xie Qian, you took the wrong medicine today! Okay, let's fight to the death!"

He didn't know why Xie Qian, who was usually tactful and humble, was so decisive, as if he had to keep him.

There was a bang.

The two men swung their swords with all their strength, their sword energies intersected and collided with a loud bang.

Then, in the blink of an eye, dozens of head-on moves were exchanged with loud explosions, and even the buildings in the distant Yizhou city were shaking.

The two fought fast, each using their explosive trump cards without mercy. Although they were still evenly matched, each move could result in serious injury or even life and death if not handled properly.

The rainstorm did not stop all day, and it seemed that the two men would be fighting to the death in a few moments, when suddenly a sword energy shot out from the side and passed between the two men.

The two men separated at the same time, avoiding the sword energy.

The Wang family's master felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, while Xie Qian was full of confusion.

"You go."

Xie Yuan said calmly:

"We will ask Langya what's going on. If you use dirty tricks against my Xie family's people again, you will be killed without mercy!"

The Wang family's master narrowed his eyes and recognized that it was Xie Bing who came here in person!
No wonder, no wonder he felt so dangerous, just by using that little bit of skill he felt like he couldn't escape!

His whole body tensed up and he slowly backed away. Seeing that the two men had no intention of catching up with him, he instantly used his secret magic and turned into a stream of light and flew away, not even daring to look back.

Xie Qian came closer, looked at Xie Yuan, and said slowly:

"Are you just going to let him go? He attacked Yuan Yong's family."

"Identity confirmed?"

Xie Yuan just asked.

Xie Qian nodded:

"Shi Linyu, the son-in-law of the Wang family, is also their master stationed in Shuzhou. I have met him many times."

Xie Yuan looked at him with a calm expression:

"Everyone knows that he is from the Wang family. Should we arrest him or kill him? That would be an excuse for Wang Yunzhi to get angry. It would make his reasoning unreasonable. It would be better to make this matter known to everyone and let the people from Langya give an explanation."

When the strength is insufficient, the only option is to negotiate solemnly.

Yuan Yong is not a member of the Xie clan, and Shi Linyu is also an outsider to the Wang family.

This was a very good way of knowing the right measure. Even if it was discovered, there was an explanation. It was another test given by the Wang family while they were planning to take over the three states in the western border.

You have to drive the enemy away forcefully to prevent them from getting too far, but you can't let them get too far and give them a chance to take advantage. Xie Yuan suddenly understood the balance and the trepidation when facing the oppression of a powerful enemy.

Xie Qian looked at Xie Yuan with a slight gleam in his eyes.

In fact, after he recognized Shi Linyu's identity, he felt that this battle would be fruitless - if it did, it would only cause more trouble.

But he had to try his best.

Shi Linyu originally thought so, but Xie Qian was unreasonable, so he was naturally very surprised and very depressed. In the end, he escaped alive, so he could breathe a sigh of relief.

Although this man seemed young, he was very rational and not impulsive at all. At least in this matter, he was a qualified decision maker, which made Xie Qian look at him differently.

And his strength...

Xie Qian was extremely shocked.

He is a real master.

And he is a master with powerful fighting ability.

Even if he breaks through, it will only take about half a year, but he will not suffer any loss in front of him and powerful elders stationed abroad like Shi Linyu.

Even the strange body movements and swordsmanship made Shi Linyu extremely wary and a little frightened. He couldn't help but wonder how he should deal with it?
The Fleeting Light Sword is very famous, but it is more difficult to use and not many people have seen it. Neither Xie Qian nor Shi Linyu would think about it.

It was inconceivable that he could break through to the Grandmaster level at his age, not to mention that he also mastered such a peerless sword technique?

While Xie Qian was pondering, Xie Yuan had already hurried back, bringing his wife and children with him, and landed in the small courtyard in the Xie family compound.

Half of Yizhou City heard the noise outside. Two powerful masters were fighting with all their might, and the noise was naturally astonishing.

Yuan Yong was feeling a little restless, but when he saw Xie Yuan suddenly fall to the ground, he felt that this scene seemed familiar.

Xie Yuan brought his wife and children to Yuan Yong, and then said calmly:
"Go to Chen County and tell the mistress about your betrayal and let her decide for you."

Yuan Yong felt a little depressed after hearing this. He was still hoping that things would be forgiven just like in that strange dream.

Xie Yuan left, leaving the family of three behind, and someone would take Yuan Yong to Chen County.

Yuan Yong's expression changed. He picked up his son and went into the inner room. He impatiently pulled off the longevity lock and opened the mechanism regardless of his son's crying.

With a click, a thin scroll popped out, which was a rolled-up silk paper.

Yuan Yong's pupils shrank, and then he was overjoyed. He hurriedly opened it, and was stunned for a moment.

But I saw that most of the silk paper was blank, with only one line of words in the middle:

"Greed is like a knife hanging over your head. How could Wang give you the method of the saint's legacy?"

Yuan Yong's face turned pale, and he suddenly realized what was going on and let out a long sigh.

It’s just that the head of Longwu Academy is so powerful that he knows everything after just one look at me…

Not long after, Xie Qian returned.

After he communicated with several masters in Yizhou Prefecture who had noticed the commotion, he told them the truth and then returned to his palace.

Xie Yuan and Xie Qian sat in the study again, and this time Xie Qian personally made him a cup of tea.

Xie Yuan held the tea bowl and said:

"The matter has been investigated clearly. It was Yuan Yong who was bewitched and framed Elder Qian in order to suppress the influence of the Xie family in the three states of the Western Territory."

Xie Qian looked at Xie Yuan, who still looked like Xie Bing, and was silent for a moment before he bowed and said:
"Elder Bing, you are wise."

Xie Yuan calmly took a sip of tea, then put down the tea bowl and said with a smile:

"Elder Qian, I'm sorry for wronging you."

Xie Qian curled his lips secretly. If he hadn't fought so hard and even faced death with courage, it would have been difficult for him to clear himself of suspicion.

But this kid is still a little immature. In fact, even so, he still has the potential to act.

But it's not bad to have achieved this at this age. Xie Qian was reflecting on whether he was too harsh and disrespectful to the new head of the family, and was too lazy to report back. If he was given patience, perhaps he could become a qualified head of the family.

Regardless of strength or skill, although Xie Qian was the one being commanded, he had some recognition of Xie Yuan.

Xie Yuan sat at the desk, leaning against a high-back chair, supporting his chin with one hand and tapping the armrest with the other, and suddenly said:

"Elder Qian, you should escort Yuan Yong back. It's the New Year, and you've been traveling for a long time. After you spend the New Year with your family, hand over your duties here and have the Council of Elders send another elder here."

Xie Qian was suddenly stunned and asked subconsciously:

"Why? Haven't I done enough?"

Xie Yuan said calmly:
"That's enough. I believe Elder Qian will not betray the family. But considering your hard work and great contributions, you should also relax for a while in the clan."

Xie Qian frowned:

"I do not understand."

Xie Yuan looked at him and said:
"Elder Qian, don't you want Patriarch Xie Yi to wake up?"

Xie Qian's pupils shrank and he frowned:
"Haven't you already found out that this is all Yuan Yong's frame-up?"

"But before you opened the box, did you know that? Or didn't you?"

Xie Yuan shook his head slowly.

It doesn’t matter whether you know it or not.

As a foreign affairs elder who has traveled all over the world and has a broad vision, would he open the heavily sealed elixir in a panic?
Xie Qian's expression changed slightly, and he was silent for a long time before he said:

"I will follow the orders of the master of the house."

Xie Yuan left the Xie family compound.

There were many reasons why he did not punish Xie Qian severely, but the most important one was that he was at least loyal to the Xie family.

Xie Yuan had exposed many flaws to Xie Qian along the way and had tested him many times. If he had crossed the red line, it would have been revealed long ago.

But his performance seemed to be just another copy of those elders in the clan who had different thoughts.

Xie Yuan shook his head.

Before coming here, I thought Yuan Yong and Xie Qian were slandering each other, and at least one of them was lying.

In the end, it turned out that both of them were telling the truth.

Xie Yuan spread out his palms and unfolded a small silk book.

"Blood Cleansing and Marrow Refining Chapter..."

He shook his head. He didn't expect that Wang was such a trustworthy person that she would even give him this.

Although it is only an outer chapter, the methods recorded in the saint's legacy are still methods to change the foundation and improve qualifications, so they are naturally priceless.

Is it worth a fortune to buy horse bones?

Or does the Wang family have the integrity of a superior family?

The Heavenly Illusion Technique cannot see everything. Xie Yuan thought about it carefully and suddenly felt that based on the style of the Wang family and Yuan Yong's character, Yuan Yong's wife and children might not have been abducted.

The longevity lock on the little boy was clearly the place where his father had intended to send his reward.

Never mind, let my aunt deal with the vicious beggar they rescued that year.

Xie Yuan put the silk book away.

This method of improving one's aptitude is only an external chapter and is naturally of no use to him.

Even the complete content of this article in the saint's will would be of no use to Xie Yuan at this moment.

His aptitude had long been raised to an extremely high level by the Tianqing Fruit, and he had never encountered any restrictions in his practice.

But this is such a wonderful method, maybe I can give it to someone else. Well, for example, Lin Cheng can use it, so I can bring it to him later.

Xie Yuan finished dealing with the matter and pondered:
"Now we don't have the new Manjusaka and the golden Mandragora. Both are magical medicines from the Western Regions, so we have to go there to get them."

Yuan Yong and Xie Qian both gave some information. Xie Yuan only thought for a moment and decided to go to the Western Regions in person.

It just so happens that everyone is here, so he can go and look for it himself and prepare all the medicine for Xie Yi as soon as possible.

and.

Now that I am a Grandmaster...

Xie Yuan picked up the precious sword from that year and stroked it gently.

When Mr. Lin was young, he spent a huge sum of money, more than half of his fortune, to buy this precious sword, which can cut hair with a single blow. It is considered a sharp weapon even for a warrior in the transformation realm.

However, when he first met Xie Yuan, he gave it to him for free. It was extremely precious to Xie Yuan at that time.

He was generous and righteous, and although he was a profit-seeking businessman, he also had the spirit of an ancient knight. This touched Xie Yuan greatly, and he accepted the affection of this man who had longed for martial arts all his life but had no talent for it.

But this noble man met with a tragic misfortune, leaving behind a pair of helpless children.

Although Xie Yuan later took good care of the Lin brothers and sisters, he was never able to avenge this hatred.

But Xie Yuan never forgot.

Putting aside the mysterious old Taoist priest and Mu Chaoyun, whose identity was unknown when they met in the forest, the big horse bandit Lu Laosan was the first master that Xie Yuan had truly met.

No matter it was the blood feud of Linjiazhuang or the "charm" and "kindness" that Lu Laosan showed in front of Xie Yuan, Xie Yuan kept it in his heart and dared not forget it.

Already a master.

Xie Yuan decided to go see his old friend.

The west of Shu is Hulukou.

Past Hulukou is the Western Desert.
