Chapter Ninety-Four: The Price
The anger of the first female swordsman in the rivers and lakes is impossible for ordinary people to bear. A strong person of this level, once a battle occurs, it will be reduced to ruins for several miles. However, even so, the black-robed man sitting on the throne seemed to have no fear. I don't know if it's really fearless, or if it's a bluff, it's just that it's just well covered up by the black robe, but I saw him say lightly, "Sect Master Shangguan, our Tianji Pavilion has always been in business, if you can agree to this condition, you can do it, if you can't agree, Tianji Pavilion doesn't force it." The way you are now is not good for you or me. ”
Shangguan Deyin sneered, "Hmph! I, Shangguan Deyin, have never heard of anyone doing business on the condition of taking the blood of a buyer!
The black-robed man shook his head and said, "No, it's still the same sentence, just do it, if you don't do it, you can leave, Tianji Pavilion doesn't force it." ”
Shangguan Deyin drew her sword out of the sheath, and the light emitted by the snowy white sword suddenly brightened up the entire pavilion, she took a step forward, and the pavilion seemed to collapse under her momentum, "I'll give you a chance, make a good condition, if you tease me like this again, then don't blame me for turning your Tianji Pavilion upside down today!"
"Really?" the black-robed man said lightly, his voice made Qi Qi unable to tell whether he was happy or angry, "I hope that Sect Master Shangguan will think carefully before making this decision." ”
As he spoke, Qi Qi felt that there was obviously a few more terrifying breaths outside the pavilion, which made him feel palpitations. He was sure that once a battle broke out here, his strength would be completely inadequate, and the aftermath of any confrontation between the two sides would easily destroy him.
It's still too weak...
I can't get my hands on it at all.
Now that I think about it, I feel a little ridiculous, I actually made that kind of oath at the beginning, and swore in front of my senior sister that I wanted to revive the sect. Although he is still young, how can he be sure that his future achievements will not be lower than that of his senior sister? If he can't do it, how can he have the confidence to boast about such Haikou?
The current situation is already tense, as long as Shangguan Deyin dares to make a move, the few terrifying masters who are lurking outside the pavilion will definitely take action immediately, including the black-robed man in the pavilion. At that time, no matter how strong this No. 1 female swordsman in the rivers and lakes was, she would definitely not be able to compete with the joint efforts of several high-level Tianji Pavilion.
Although Qi Qi's strength is inferior to that of his senior sister and the black-robed man, he is not low in terms of resourcefulness, and he knows that now is definitely not a good time to make a move. Even if the black-robed man was deliberately embarrassed by him and his senior sister and didn't want to easily meet his request for eye treatment, then they could only admit it.
However, it is worth mentioning that if the black-robed man is really embarrassed, then what is his purpose?
After all, not long ago, when he was in trouble in Chang'an, it was the senior sister to whom Tianji Pavilion sold the information, and only then did the senior sister save him, otherwise without the help of Tianji Pavilion, maybe he would have died in that underground dungeon now.
He whispered to Senior Sister, "Senior Sister, please calm your anger, now is definitely not a good time to do it, it's a big deal, my eyes are gone, I said when I came, if Tianji Pavilion makes a strange request, then we will leave." ”
Shangguan Deyin's tone was a little relieved, "Senior brother..."
Qi Qi said again, "Senior sister, don't be impulsive. ”
Looking at the eyes of his junior brother, gradually, the momentum around Shangguan Deyin gradually subsided. She looked at the black-robed man and said, "Is Tianji Pavilion sure that the conditions will not change?"
The black-robed man nodded, "Tianji Pavilion has always been good at business, and if Sect Master Shangguan thinks about it, he can come at any time." Tianji Pavilion guaranteed that the eyes of the Chief of the Sword Shrine could be completely cured, leaving no trace or sequelae. ”
"Senior brother, let's go. ”
"Hmm. ”
Inside a forest hut.
Qi Qi and Shangguan Deyin sat opposite each other on the wooden table in the center of the room.
Qi Qi asked, "Senior sister, you don't really want to agree, do you?" I don't want you to really do that for me. ”
Shangguan Deyin was embarrassed, "I haven't thought about it either, but... It really seems that this is the only way. ”
Qi Qi got up and said, "Then it doesn't matter if this eye is incurable, if there is one less eye, I can also cultivate!"
Shangguan Deyin pulled the junior brother back to his seat, "Senior brother, don't be rash. Although there are many people in this world who are blind and still have strong martial arts, it takes a lot of time for them to adapt to blindness, and if you really do this, it will affect your cultivation very much. And the eye is a very important part, you are my junior brother, now that there is a way to cure it, why should I not work hard?"
Qi Qi said, "But senior sister, the price is too great, I'd rather not be cured!"
Shangguan Deyin rubbed his eyebrows, "Let me think about it again, maybe, there is really only one way." ”
Qi Qi hurriedly said, "Senior sister, don't you know how much impact losing half of your blood has on a person, especially a cultivator? You are the pillar of the sect, if you lose half of your blood, not only will your strength be greatly reduced temporarily, but your cultivation in the future will also be affected, and you may not be able to return to your original peak." In that case, I'd rather not have this one eye!"
"Senior brother..."Shangguan Deyin bit his lip and called softly with a bright gaze.
Qi Qi said, "Senior sister, let's go, we won't do this deal." ”
Shangguan Deyin said firmly, "No, let me think about it again, we... Let's stay here for a few days. ”
Qi Qi hurriedly said, "Senior sister..."
Shangguan Deyin waved his hand and said, "Don't say it again, let's talk about this matter, I have made up my mind, even if I really want to donate half of my blood in the end, I will not hesitate to do it." ”
Qi Qi said in a trembling voice, "Senior sister..."
Shangguan Deyin hugged his junior brother into his arms, and his tone softened, "Senior brother, don't say it again..."
Hearing this, Qi Qi sighed in his heart "sigh", if the senior sister insisted on this, then he would definitely not be able to stop her. And if something really happens, then in the future, even if he squeezes himself to the limit, he must search the entire rivers and lakes to recover half of the blood lost by his senior sister.
After this conversation, in the next few days, Qi Qi almost never cultivated, locked himself in his room all day, and no matter how Shangguan Deyin persuaded him, he still went his own way.
Shangguan Deyin knew that the junior brother was sulking at her, but he didn't expect that the junior brother, who had always been mature, also had such a childish side. However, she can't help it, what can she do except make this decision? If she doesn't cure this eye, the future of her junior brother will definitely be affected. But if she is cured, her future will be affected. After all, there is a choice between the two paths. Then she will not let her junior brother be affected, although she can only choose to hurt herself.
Maybe you can find a cure by searching the whole rivers and lakes, but this is a gamble, the longer the time is delayed, the greater the impact on the junior brother, and then if you want to be completely cured, the difficulty will increase. And even if they found it, how could they be sure that they wouldn't take the opportunity to make excessive conditions like Tianji Pavilion?
On the edge of the cliff, Qi Qi sat alone, and his lonely back was pitiful. Shangguan Deyin swept over from a distance, sat down beside his junior brother, and said softly, "Senior brother, don't be sad, okay?"
Qi Qi was silent, his eyes looking forward.
Shangguan Deyin put a hand on Qi Qi's shoulder, and shouted softly, "Senior brother..."
Qi Qi was still silent.
Shangguan Deyin's nose was sour, he hugged his junior brother, and said in a trembling voice, "Senior brother, don't ignore me, okay?"
Qi Qi also had a sour nose and said in a trembling voice, "You don't take your body seriously so much, how can I be calm?"
Shangguan Deyin said aggrievedly, "But if I don't do this, what can I do?"
Qi Qi said, "Then I can cure it." ”
Shangguan Deyin said, "Then I'd rather you hate me." ”
Qi Qi was heartbroken, "Senior sister, do you really want to do this?"
Shangguan Deyin nodded and said, "If there is a second way, then I will definitely not make this choice, but, no." ”
Qi Qi looked at Senior Sister, "Senior Sister, you are so good to me, I really don't know how to repay you." ”
Shangguan Deyin hugged his junior brother and said softly, "Senior sister doesn't want your return, senior sister, as long as you are good, as long as you are like this, you will be satisfied." ”
Qi Qi said, "Senior sister, you are the number one female swordsman in the rivers and lakes, how many people are your opponents in the entire Tang Dynasty? But once you make this decision, everything you have will not exist, and it is possible that you will never come back, this is not a simple matter, senior sister." ”
Shangguan Deyin said, "You're right, but sometimes, the choice is not decided according to interests. It's not good for me to do this, but as long as it's good for you, it's enough. ”
"Woo... Senior sister..."Qi Qi cried softly and buried his head in his senior sister's arms.
"Cry, junior brother, just cry out," Shangguan Deyin patted his junior brother's back and said softly.
Three days later, Shangguan Deyin, who had made up his mind, came to the pavilion alone.
The black-robed man on the throne said lightly, "Sect Master Shangguan, have you thought about it?"
Shangguan Deyin said lightly, "Hmm." ”
The black-robed man changed his words and said, "However, I can't promise you. ”
"What?!" Shangguan Deyin said coldly, "Isn't Tianji Pavilion playing with me?"
The black-robed man smiled, "Sect Master Shangguan misunderstood, I mean, someone paid this price for you, so, you don't need to do anything more, Qi Qi Shaoxia's eyes, we will cure him." ”
Shangguan Deyin was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who is it?"
The black-robed man said, "I can't tell you. ”
Shangguan Deyin thought of the girl named Jinluan, but then rejected the idea. Let's not talk about whether Jin Luan is willing or not, it is impossible for Tianji Pavilion alone to allow his disciples to make such a decision, right?
But who is it?
After thinking about it, I couldn't understand it, but at least, my junior brother's eyes had already fallen, "Well, then please ask your pavilion to heal my junior brother immediately." If you can, thank Him on my behalf. In the future, he will be the distinguished guest of the sword shrine, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he can come to my sword shrine, and the sword shrine will be well entertained. ”
The black-robed man nodded, "Hmm." ”
