The old Taoist priest's face was as usual, and he looked at Xu Xingkong calmly:

"Poor Dao is not a saint, he can't be responsible for the actions of Xuanyi Daoist, and he can't be responsible for what happened to Ms. He Yan, I don't know how Elder Xu wants to make Poor Dao responsible for Ms. He Yan's interests?"

Xu Xingkong took a deep look at the old Taoist priest, and said with a sinking face:

"As soon as the seniors say this, the juniors will understand, that is to say, the behavior of the Xuanyi Daoist will not be responsible, so can it be understood that the life and death of the Xuanyi Daoist will not be responsible?"

"These are two different things, Elder Xu. ”

Xu Xingkong nodded with a dark face and said:

"Very good, I understand the meaning of your association, then I formally answer the seniors, our Yushan Yuzhai research is academically welcome all colleagues to participate, including the participation of the Yixue Research Association, but the Yixue Research Association will not have any special aspects. In addition, please tell your colleagues that Pengcheng please abide by the management of Yushan Yuzhai, and we will treat everyone equally in this regard. ”

The old Taoist priest was slightly stunned, and then looked at Xu Xingkong deeply and said:

"This is your final decision? Elder Xu thinks about it again, our research association is very sincere to Elder Xu and Yushan Yuzhai, there is no need for Elder Xu to misjudge for other reasons, not to mention, compared with the overall situation, what is the personal gain or loss?"

Xu Xingkong said with a cold face:

"Senior, I'll just say it directly, He Yan, we have saved it, we want you to save face, I can promise not to strike first, it's better to keep this feud He Yan to get it back, but once someone insists on going his own way, I don't mind letting him know our Yushan Yuzhai attitude. ”

The old Taoist priest pondered for a moment, sighed and nodded:

"Elder Xu's decision is understandable, please believe that the Yixue Research Society is not a place with interests and political demands, and we have only one purpose of existence, that is, to inherit the Dao and pursue the Heavenly Dao. ”

"I believe in my predecessors, but I don't agree with some of the ideas of my predecessors, that's all. ”

The old Taoist priest nodded again:

"It's okay, Poor Dao will stay in Pengcheng and wait for the arrival of the companions involved in the research, in addition, we will also send a number of combat members to Pengcheng, of course, we will not interfere with Yushan Yuzhai's decision, nor will we violate Yushan Yuzhai's rules, but will provide some military support for your family if necessary. ”

Xu Xingkong pouted and smiled:

"Thank you, senior, is this to protect the kitten?"

Xu Xingkong said and looked sideways at the kitten lying on his right shoulder, and the kitten also opened his eyes and glanced at the old Taoist priest, with a hint of disdain and hostility in his eyes.

The old Taoist priest nodded, and shook his head slightly:

"Elder Xu, I am foolish to see that Pengcheng will be a place of turmoil in the future, and no one can predict what will happen, it is always right to make some preparations, please rest assured Elder Xu, our research society will never have any special thoughts about Yushan Yuzhai, otherwise this research meeting will have disappeared long ago. ”

"I hope so, as my predecessors said, no one can predict what will happen, and the purpose of your association is not strictly adhered to by every member, and there is no guarantee, right?"

The old Taoist priest smiled noncommittally, and Xu Xingkong sneered and said:

"But it doesn't matter, I still say the same thing, in the territory of Pengcheng, we are not afraid of anyone or organization. With all that said, the younger generation will not bother the Yaxing of the predecessors and say goodbye. ”

After Xu Xingkong finished speaking, he arched his hand and turned to leave, and the kitten suddenly stood up, turned his head and bared his teeth at the old Taoist priest, and gave a waiting look.

The old Taoist priest watched Xu Xingkong's figure go away, the smile on his face gradually faded, revealing a solemn expression, and slowly shook his head and said to himself:

"I hope some people don't misjudge, this little guy is really not funny. ”

．．．．．．

Xu Xingkong cleaned up the paper on the table, this is the decomposition plan of the research project he did, there will be many powerful personnel in the future to participate in the research of bloodline inheritance and new spell theory, even if these people are here to share the cake, Xu Xingkong can't let them take advantage of it in vain, Xu Xingkong will never be polite, so you must make a plan and squeeze the labor value of these people.

He Yan's eyes were a little wandering on the other side of the desk, as if he didn't dare to look at the papers, but he didn't know where to look, this study was simple except for some things on a table, the bookshelves and walls were empty, as clean as a room that no one was using.

"I don't usually live here, but now it's a special situation. ”

Xu Xingkong casually explained while packing up his things, He Yan heard that his face was a little tangled, and he replied:

"I know it's all my fault. ”

He Yan sighed in her heart after speaking, once upon a time she was so proud, but now she has to bow her head to the man in front of her, this feeling is really bad, but the problem is that He Yan has no reason to resist this man, because this man not only saved himself three times and twice, but also never asked for anything from himself, even if He Yan rejected this man in order to maintain his pride, what can he prove?

Sometimes people really have to accept their fate.

Xu Xingkong tidied up the scattered papers, raised his head and looked at He Yan and said:

"That's not what I meant, sit down, sit down. ”

He Yan exhaled, and sat opposite Xu Xingkong with some restraint, to be honest, this kind of nervous and nervous mood, He Yan has not experienced it for a long time, I remember that the last time seemed to be the time when I auditioned for a movie that made me from a third-rate actor to a first-line movie star.

He Yan still remembers every word that Director Feng said at that time, but unfortunately, what she is pursuing now seems to be different.

Xu Xingkong looked at He Yan and said:

"Miss He, frankly speaking, your affairs are just a small wave under the mighty torrent, which may be heavy for you, but for some people, you can be completely ignored. ”

"I understand, I understand, really, it's because of this that I feel very unwilling, I admit, I'm a proud person, even if I don't have the capital to be proud of, but I still feel that I have to be proud, I can't live. ”

He Yan spoke quickly, looking a little anxious and excited, Xu Xingkong nodded lightly when he heard this, and paused a little before unhurriedly pulling the speed of the conversation back to his own rhythm.

"If I don't understand correctly, Miss He means that you don't just want to live, but want to live proudly, right?"

He Yan nodded vigorously, and replied with a sour nose:

"Yes, that's what I thought, isn't it a little unrealistic?"

"No, it's everyone's right, at least that's what I think. So, now that we're back to the old question, what reason do you have for me to help you make that wish come true?"

"I don't have anything, I've thought about it carefully, you don't even look down on worldly money...."

"No, I think you may be mistaken, in fact we need money. ”

Xu Xingkong interrupted He Yan's words with a smile, making her almost choke to death in one breath, He Yan coughed violently a few times, looked at Xu Xingkong in confusion, and struggled for a moment before stammering and continuing:

"But, but...I thought...well, I have some money, and if you can see it, I can give it all to you, is that really okay?"

"Hehe, you misunderstood, I'm just telling you that cultivators also need money, not trying to plot your money, of course, tuition is definitely needed, not only I need it, but the comprehensive college also has to pay tuition, and if you really start practicing in the future, many places need money, you have always heard of the term "wealth and law", right?"

"Uh...listen, heard, that, that..."

"Don't worry, take your time, you can forget about money first. ”

He Yan subconsciously glanced at Xu Xingkong, her charming eyes were very resentful and aggrieved, the matter of money was not mentioned by yourself, but now...He Yan has a feeling of being tossed over and over again, this feeling is not only aggrieved but also very humiliating.

Xu Xingkong looked indifferent, pinched the kitten off his shoulder, put it on the table in front of him, and gently stroked the kitten's soft hair, the kitten squinted his eyes and looked like he was enjoying it, ignoring the aggrieved beauty who wanted to cry.

Taking a deep breath and blinking her eyes vigorously, He Yan took back the tears that were about to flow, and swallowed them, as well as her heart full of sadness and grievances.

"Wronged, right?"

Xu Xingkong suddenly spoke, this question suddenly made all He Yan's efforts go to waste, and the tears that he had just received could not be suppressed.

"Woooooo

"I don't have that kind of perverted hobby, you want to live proudly, you can't do it without paying something, in fact, what you have to pay is not just that, grievance? humiliation? As a weak person, you don't even have the qualifications to be humiliated in front of the strong and become scum, you still don't understand, you don't want to pay anything to me, but what you are ready to pay for yourself. ”

He Yan was stunned, she kept wiping the tears that couldn't be wiped with the back of her hand, looking at the man in front of her with hazy eyes, and suddenly felt that he didn't seem to be so hateful, but this thought disappeared without a trace in the next second.

"Of course, you're going to have to pay the price of satisfying me first, and that's just the first step, you know?"

He Yan was stunned for a moment, wiped away her tears casually, and replied with some sobs:

"I know, do you want to tell me that I'm going to face a real world of the jungle, and as a punishment for defeat, I can pay for my life at any time, I know, I'm ready. ”

Xu Xingkong looked at He Yan suspiciously, then shrugged his shoulders and said:

"Well, when you get it, then, what about the reasons? What about the reasons I'll help you?"

"I don't have anything, except for a little money, but I can give my loyalty, I have all the remaining time of loyalty, I heard Xiaotong say, I also understand the basis of the existence of a sect, I think I still have a certain value, I mean the future. ”

After He Yan finished speaking in one breath, she stared at Xu Xingkong with bated breath without blinking, waiting for Xu Xingkong's final verdict.
