Embers of Sword

Chapter 167: Apology (Third update!)
"Have not heard."

"not see."

Xie Zhen's voice slowly came out from the gap between the doors of the Lotus Peak courtyard.

Venerable Bai Yu suddenly became a little stiff.

He gritted his teeth and whispered, "Thank you, Master. I am here on the orders of the prince..."

The title of King of Jiangning is very effective in most places.

But here is the exception.

After the prince moved out, the courtyard completely lost contact.

……

……

"He is just a guest of the Xie family. He came to apologize and acted like this."

Jiang Qihu sat in the courtyard and said coldly, "Your Majesty... Turning you away is too light!"

Xie Xuanyi smiled indifferently.

He expected the arrogant attitude of the Xie family in Jiangning.

In the past few years, with the support of the "Exiled Immortal Wu" behind them, the Xie family of Jiangning has risen to the top. No matter where they go, they look down on others with an attitude of superiority.

Today, he is going to kill Xie's limelight!
Want to make amends, want to apologize?
can.

Get your attitude right first!

Venerable Bai Yu waited in front of the courtyard for a while, but there was no response at all. He looked extremely ugly.

After confirming that Xie Zhen would not open the door for him, he prepared to turn around and leave.

At this moment.

A voice suddenly came, causing Venerable Bai Yu to pause.

It was Xie Zhen’s message.

"When you get back, tell your master that if you sincerely want to apologize, you should first show an apologetic attitude."

Venerable Bai Yu had a complicated expression. He turned back silently, re-examined the courtyard, and left quickly.

Not long after.

The two protectors and the incense master came together.

This is the greatest sincerity that the entire Jiangning delegation can show.

Three Yin Gods!

As for the outsiders... they were still locked up in the mansion by Jin Ao Feng and were not allowed to go out without a valid reason.

Since it was to apologize for the assassination, there was no need for the servants to come with him.

"Young Master Xie, I am sorry for disturbing you earlier... Now I am here with 'Daoyou Hei Yao' and the incense master."

Venerable Bai Yu took a deep breath.

He took a step forward, knocked on the door of the courtyard, and said in a gentle voice: "Regarding the assassination, there may be a misunderstanding... I wonder if you can do me a favor and let me come in to explain a little bit?"

"Oh, misunderstanding?"

Xie Xuanyi still didn't open the door.

He was drinking tea and admiring flowers in the courtyard, and asked calmly: "Hasn't the assassin's identity been confirmed? Hasn't the evidence been proven? If there are any misunderstandings, you might as well clarify them in front of everyone."

Venerable Bai Yu wanted to speak again.

Taoist Zhu, who was sweating profusely, quickly reached out to stop him.

"...Brother Xie, please don't bother with him. Bai Yu is not good at talking."

The smiling incense-burning host came to the door. In front of many people, he didn't care about his status at all. He kept the lowest attitude and even respectfully addressed Xie Zhen, who was several years younger than him, as "you".

He is very clear.

The assassination case concerns Xie Sheng's reputation, so this matter cannot be taken lightly, nor can it be taken lightly.

Taoist Candle took out a few snow-white and dazzling talismans from his sleeves and said with a smile, "This is the Taoist's 'Qi Gathering Talisman', which can gather vital energy. Dasui Sword Palace is a Feng Shui treasure land. If it can be equipped with the 'Qi Gathering Talisman', I believe that my usual practice will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."

This talisman attracted a lot of attention.

Outside the mountain gate, there were sounds of exclamation.

The Qi Gathering Talisman is extremely rare, and after forming the formation, it is just like swallowing a Yuan Dan... If it were placed outside, it would be extremely valuable.

"……Ah."

However, when Xie Xuanyi heard this, he couldn't help but sneer.

Taoist Zhu is more capable than those two protectors... It's a pity that the thing he has the most is Taoist talismans.

This Qi Gathering Talisman, if you are willing.

Xie Xuanyi can draw it himself.

This faint smile can be regarded as a kind of "explicit indication".

Taoist Zhu immediately understood what he meant and quickly took out another item from his sleeve: "There is also this lamp, called 'Viewing Mountains and Seas'. Although it is only of the ninth grade, it is a top treasure for geomancy. Even if you have not practiced the art of viewing qi, as long as you hold this lamp, you can still peek at the direction of the dragon veins and feng shui of the mountains."

This is a small oil lamp with a withered wick and looks very old.

Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes. This oil lamp was interesting.

A ninth-grade treasure is already of good quality... Although it cannot be compared with spiritual treasures, it is used for "feng shui divination" and finding dragon points after all.

Objects like this are extremely difficult to activate.

Compared with the value of other treasures of the same level, it is several times or even ten times more valuable.

A "buzz" sound!
The oil lamp trembled, and Taoist Zhu quickly let go, allowing the oil lamp to follow the external force and fly towards the sky above the courtyard.

next moment.

The "Viewing Mountains and Seas" lamp fell into Xie Xuanyi's hands.

Xie Xuanyi played with the treasure but still did not open the door. He just said softly, "I am really overwhelmed by your presence... I wonder if His Royal Highness is okay?"

Now I come to apologize, but there is only one person missing.

Thanks Sheng.

"His Royal Highness is still in a coma."

Taoist Candle sighed and said, "The sword from Xuanshui Dongtian was really not light... I'm afraid I'll have to sleep for a few more days."

This statement is not false.

The law enforcers of Jinao Peak kept an eye on the delegation's residence at all times...

After being carried out from Xuanshui Cave.

Prince Jiangning was seriously injured and has not recovered to this day.

Xie Xuanyi asked this question earlier, not because he hoped Xie Sheng would come to visit him personally...

First of all, he didn't care about Xie Sheng at all.

Secondly, I was too lazy to see Xie Sheng.

After all, the most crucial person in this negotiation was not the Crown Prince, but the King of Jiangning who was thousands of miles away.

Since you are already in a coma, there is no need for us to "meet".

"Master, please come in." Xie Xuanyi waved his sleeves and the gate of the courtyard opened, but it was obvious that he only invited the master of the incense shop.

Venerable Bai Yu and Venerable Hei Yao looked at each other.

Why don’t they understand what Xie Zhen meant?
If you want to apologize in person, show your sincerity first.

Taoist Zhu's observation of the mountains and the sea is enough to show his sincerity for admission.

Venerable Bai Yu gritted his teeth, took out a clean bottle from his arms, and said slowly: "This is the eighth-grade elixir 'Breaking Sea Pill'. After crushing it, apply it on the skin to activate the qi and blood in the large orifices... It is helpful for physical training."

The eighth-grade elixir, Po Hai Dan, although its grade cannot be compared with Guan Shan Hai.

But after Venerable Bai Yu opened the bottle, a strong medicinal fragrance emanated from inside... There should be more than twenty Sea-Breaking Pills in this bottle!

Seeing this, Venerable Black Obsidian looked reluctant, but he also took out a green box from his clothes.

"This is the ninth-grade elixir, the 'Soul-shaping Pill'. There is only one of these. It can strengthen the mind of the person who takes it and expand the size of the heart lake. It is a top-grade elixir that assists in the cultivation of the mind."

"Whoosh" sound.

The clean bottle and the green box both flew away and flew into the small courtyard.

"Everyone, please come in."

Xie Zhen's voice sounded again, and this time, the gate of the courtyard was completely opened.

The three Yin Gods looked at each other, took a deep breath, and stepped into the courtyard.

The door slowly closed.

The onlookers were stunned... They really didn't expect that just "visiting" would cost such a price.

What will the subsequent “negotiations” look like?
……

……

Xie Xuanyi sat in front of the stone table and threw Guan Shan Hai into Jiang Qihu's hand for him to play with. He opened the bottle and crushed a Po Hai Dan. He clenched his five fingers and silently felt the "power" of this eighth-grade elixir.

An intense burning sensation instantly penetrated the entire arm.

This golden body has just been cast.

The Qihai acupoint has already connected to the primordial fire.

But after he woke up from the strong medicinal power of the Breaking Sea Pill, the Yuan Fire in his internal organs became completely "activated".

Venerable Bai Yu, who stepped into the courtyard, narrowed his eyes when he saw this scene.

Can the Sea-Breaking Pill be used so casually?

This pill is extremely strong...you need to crush one and apply it all over your body!
Just hold it in your palm like this, it's just a cave, and then the skin on your palm will be burst by the Yuan Fire, right?

Just as Venerable Bai Yu was preparing to watch the fun.

A puff of white smoke dissipated quietly.

Xie Xuanyi opened his intact, golden palm, smiled, and praised: "This pill is not bad, it can really 'activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis'...but twenty pills are too few, at least a hundred pills are needed to barely be enough."

Promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis?

One hundred pieces, barely enough?
After hearing these words, Venerable Bai Yu began to doubt himself.

The courtyard was very large, with only a stone table and two wooden chairs. When Sect Leader Chunyang left, he took the little girl who was in the way with him.

There is nothing more here.

There wasn't even a third chair.

So the three Yin Gods could only stand there.

The incense master didn't mind at all, but the two protectors still hadn't changed from their usual condescending attitude.

"Xie Zhen... The prince has something to tell you about the assassination attempt."

Lord Obsidian took a step forward.

He took out a token and handed it to Xie Xuanyi.

This soul token is engraved with Xie family's array pattern.

no doubt.

Thousands of miles away in the Xie Palace, Jiangning Prince Xie Zhisui was waiting for the moment when the token and soul would connect.

Xie Xuanyi stuffed the clean bottle and the green box into his clothes.

The next moment, he stretched out his hand and slowly pushed away the token that Lord Obsidian handed to him.

The look on the face of this palace protector was very ugly, and he subconsciously wanted to release his "power" for an overwhelming conquest.

But the next moment.

Jiang Qihu, who was sitting next to Xie Zhen, suddenly became fierce.

A strong wind suddenly blew up in the courtyard.

"You two, it seems that you still haven't figured out the situation."

Xie Xuanyi raised his head and said seriously: "This is the Sword Palace, not the Royal Palace."

Lord Obsidian was startled.

“Although I am only at the Cave Heaven Realm, after inheriting the Xuanshui Cave Heaven, I will be the master of Lotus Peak in the future.”

Xie Xuanyi picked up the teacup and blew on it gently: "When the prince of your palace sees me, he must also respectfully address me as Little Mountain Master."

"Thank you..."

Venerable Bai Yu, who had been patient for a long time, took a step forward and said in a low voice: "...Don't go too far!"

He raised a hand.

next moment.

This hand was grabbed by Jiang Qihu who suddenly stood up.

"Master Jiang, why bother to stop him?"

Xie Xuanyi lowered his eyebrows, looked at the swaying reflection of the tea, and laughed softly: "Why not let him take action and see if he is faster or the sword energy of the palm law is faster?"

The word "Zhang Lu" was like a basin of cold water, instantly extinguishing the anger of Venerable Bai Yu.

Venerable Bai Yu had a gloomy expression, but he finally chose to be patient.

of course……

If Venerable Bai Yu knew that Zhao Chunyang was watching every move in this courtyard, he would be even more honest and would not dare to even fart.

The incense master looked at this scene and shook his head silently.

In recent years, the Xie family has expanded too fast, and these two "Yin Shen Realm" protectors are really too young.

The courtyard returned to silence at this moment.

"Two Yin Gods in the initial stage, following Xie, domineering for half their lives... Are they living too well, so they can't tell who is superior and who is inferior anymore?"

Xie Xuanyi tilted his head slightly and said expressionlessly: "Believe it or not, the Yangshen warrior behind the Xie family will have to behave himself when he comes to the Dasui Sword Palace."

"You guys, what are you?"
