Speaking of Shen Ci's death back then, Xi Yutang is actually not sure whether it was Shen Luo's hand.

At that time, both she and Shen Qi were too young, and she had just walked away from the ghost gate, so she was physically and psychologically damaged, and she couldn't take care of herself at all. Later, when the old valley master was killed on the way back to the Medicine King Valley, and the news of the death of the Xuantian Sect members who were escorted came back, she was still in a state of not being able to speak, and spent a lot of time in a coma every day, Zou Qing took Shen Qi to investigate the place where the incident occurred, but did not find a trace of useful clues.

By the time she had the ability to look into it, it was too late.

Back then, Xi Yutang always felt that it was because someone didn't want her to live or didn't want Xuantian to have any hope that affected Shen Ci, after all, he had just experienced the drastic changes in the snowy mountains and escaped from death, and the whole Xuantian was in a dangerous situation, and everyone shouted and beat him, so there was nothing wrong with thinking like this. But as time went on, she came back to her senses and began to think about it, and she began to realize that something was wrong.

If he was going to kill her, why did he do it on the way back, not when he came?

Why did you count this matter on Shen Qi's head?

Since the Medicine King Valley thinks that Shen Qi colluded with the Demon Sect to assassinate the old Gu Master...... Then why didn't the Medicine King Valley come to seek revenge?

She couldn't find the murderer of Shen Ci, and the other party did a very clean job, so she went to investigate the movements of the Medicine King Valley. It's ridiculous to say, Shen Ci didn't set up an heir before he died, according to the habit of inheritance by the eldest son, it should be Shen Huan who should take over the position of the valley master and the head of the family, but during that time, the Medicine King Valley was chaotic, in addition to sending people to find the murderer, Shen Luo and Shen Huan put more energy on fighting for the position of the head of the family, and in the end Shen Huan was defeated, Shen Luo took the position, and the matter was settled.

Shen Qi is Shen Luo's concubine, according to the Medicine King Valley, he combined with the Demon Sect to kill Shen Ci, so the beneficiary is easy to associate with Shen Luo. Therefore, Shen Luo expelled Shen Qi from the family tree of the division, and announced that the world and the Xuantian Sect would never die, and he had face, and his reputation and sympathy were enough, and he was very skilled in killing his relatives with one move.

But what about after that?

Many people were laughing at the Xuantian Sect for daring to offend the Medicine King Valley, and they also guessed that the Shen family had been sending people to take revenge, but in fact, ...... Xi Yutang and Shen Qi have never seen each other in the Shen family.

Weird, isn't it?

Is the result of not dying, 'I ignore you'? It's like a child's house!

I can't help but doubt it......

This is the reason why Xi Yutang can't look down on Medicine King Valley. The old valley lord is dead, you don't want to take revenge, you are actually fighting for power? A big family that has lasted for hundreds of years, the interior is so filthy and unbearable, and the desire for power is so strong, how dare to call it a noble and immaculate, and a doctor is benevolent? Tease me?

What is the Medicine King Valley that has always been neutral and has a transcendent status in the martial arts...... Say it and laugh to death, okay? Does he Shen Luo dare to use the head of the item to vouch for the Xuantian Sect and Shen Qi all these years, isn't it because of the decline of Xuantian? Isn't it because the Wulin League and Xuantian are at odds? Persimmon picks up soft pinch, who wouldn't?

For such a subordinate family, subverting it, Xi Yutang will not have a trace of guilt.

Tempting Shen Huan, she just wanted to know how deep the contradiction between Shen Luo and Shen Huan was, whether Shen Huan still had thoughts about the position of the head of the family, and buried a thorn in Shen Huan's heart. What if she counted the old valley master's death on Shen Luo's head? The Shen family didn't investigate it back then, and now naturally they can't produce any evidence, even if she can't prove that Shen Luo is the murderer? She didn't want to look for the real culprit, she just provoked conflicts.

After what needs to be done, the rest is up to Shen Huan and Shen Luo dog-eat-dog.

The tilting and intrigue in the big family are left to them to play with, and it is enough for Xuantian and the Yue family to push Shen Huan at the right time.

As for Shen Luo's sixteen years of meritorious service to the Medicine King Valley...... What's the matter with her? She just wants results.

After coming back from Shen Huan, after having lunch with Yue Qingfeng and Shen Qi, Xi Yutang asked Shen Qi to rest, and he talked to Yue Qingfeng about the morning. After all, he is going to attack the Shen family, no matter how much Xiaomei dislikes this family, he is always surnamed Shen, and it is not good to discuss how to subvert the Shen family in front of him.

The death of the old valley lord is the origin of Yiqiē, and according to the speculation of the two, when Shen Qihui was identified, it was when the contradictions between Shen Huan and Shen Luo surfaced. At that time, they have already taken their things and left the Medicine King Valley, and the rest will be left for them to play by themselves, whether they lose or lose, or whether others are in the position, it doesn't matter, as long as this valley master is no longer Shen Luo, even if their goal is achieved.

Medicine King Valley is not a big threat, but the fact that it is always close to the Martial Arts Alliance does make the two of them very unhappy......

In the final analysis, Sect Leader Xi Xiao was still holding a grudge against Medicine King Gu's attitude towards Shen Qi and Xuantian. I don't force the Medicine King Valley to fall to Xuantian, even if it is just truly neutral and not to be at odds with Xuantian, it's good. Not to mention anything else, at least when her subordinates were roaming the rivers and lakes, they had a headache and brain fever trauma or something, and they would no longer be rejected by the doctors in the Medicine King Valley as before.

That's enough.

In the afternoon of the same day, Xi Yutang didn't go to watch Dabi as usual, and Yue Qingfeng didn't go, the two really went to a few places with good scenery in Yaowang Valley like a date, and it looked really leisurely and leisurely from a distance, but if they were close, they could hear them issuing instructions from time to time, while enjoying the scenery, they were disturbing the peace of the land under their feet, and under the skin of the light wind and moon was a real black heart and black lungs.

On the contrary, they are still proud of it.

This way of getting along, the two of their subordinates have become accustomed to it, but there is really a day when the two of them can quietly enjoy the scenery and chat, and the wind and snow between the lines, instead of every sentence affecting the ups and downs of the rivers and lakes, they will not be used to it.

A black-hearted Xuantian Sect Master, with an even more black-hearted Young Master of the Yue Family...... It's really lethal.

It is said that when a man and a woman get along, they all hope to show their best side, even if it is pretending, even if it is to make a appearance of piano and song, it looks more pleasing to the eye, isn't it? But these two people did not hide the darkness in their hearts and the ruthlessness of their methods, and they didn't have much spare time to go to the wind and snow, and they could see Qiu Yuan, Si Nian, Leng Yi, Shaoguang and others twitching the corners of their mouths.

…… Do you have to find some love, love words, and show them to their masters?

Qiu Yuan and Shaoguang looked at each other silently, and then covered their faces deeply.

No, forget it.

……

At the end of the Baicao Meeting on the second day, Shen Qi still maintained the top spot and entered the final competition.

Xi Yutang still went to see Jiang Qiantong afterwards. If the two were friends in the past, then now the relationship between teachers and friends makes Jiang Qiantong have more respect for Xi Yutang.

As if the teacher was checking the student's homework, she began to ask her own questions after reporting on her recent achievements, while Xi Yutang patiently and meticulously helped her answer her questions, and helped her analyze the current general trend of the rivers and lakes from the most objective position, supplemented by events worth mentioning over the years to improve her vision and opinions.

I have to say that Xi Yutang is a good teacher. If you don't mention the half-year period of the two and the hostile position sooner or later, Jiang Qiantong is really very glad that she can have such a friend, who not only teaches herself how to become a qualified leader, but also benefits her a lot in martial arts.

Why...... There are some things in the world that just can't have both?

Looking blankly at the familiar face of the person in front of her who carved into her heart, Jiang Qiantong was silent for a long time. Xi Yutang was halfway through speaking, but he didn't see the reaction of the person on the other side, and couldn't help but look up, and saw her stunned appearance, and smiled, "What are you doing with me?" ”

“…… Xi Yutang, where did you get that scar? Jiang Qiantong pointed to the long scar under her eyes.

Sect Leader Xi was stunned, subconsciously stroked the wound, felt the bumpy touch between his fingertips, and said indifferently, "This...... Left behind when he killed Meng Thirteen. ”

"Listen to the Rain Pavilion ace killer?" Hearing this name, Jiang Qiantong couldn't help but think of the white jade sunset hairpin, "Was my master asking him to assassinate you?" ”

"Hmm." Xi Yutang replied lightly, "Meng Shisan, at the behest of your master, participated in the Xuantian upheaval, and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill me and my brother. After that, your master hung up the hunt order to assassinate the Xuantian Sect Master in Tingyu Pavilion, and Meng Shisan took over the task. He is a master of swordsmanship, the best killer in the world, and if you want to kill him, you must pay a price. ”

The casual tone seemed to be talking not about herself but about someone else. But Jiang Qiantong still heard the hardships and dangers from it, lowered his eyes embarrassedly, and said in a low voice, "...... It's a tough battle. ”

"It's not easy." Xi Yutang recalled the process of killing Meng Shisan, and it took the strength of the whole sect to succeed, and his tone also faded, "At that time, my strength was insufficient, and the price of killing him was very high, but I had to kill him, otherwise I would be remembered by an ace killer every day, and it would not be pleasant." ”

Jiang Qiantong was silent.

Xi Yutang raised his head, "So Qiantong, some enemies, even if you are not against the other party, you still have to do it without hesitation when you should do it, and when you can't fight hard, you must patiently lay out and turn yourself into a hunter waiting for your prey. You lack patience and determination, you must not let them become your shortcomings, a leader, you must learn to judge the situation at the same time, but also have blood and courage. ”

"......" Jiang Qiantong looked at her in a daze, "But if you were defeated at that time, what would Xuantian do?" ”

"I'm not going to lose." Xi Yutang smiled, "I started with the decision to kill Meng Thirteen, and laid out the layout for half a year, and then waited patiently for three months, mobilizing all the forces I could mobilize. I believed in myself and my men, and I knew that I would be able to leave his life in the snowy mountains. At that time, I was young, and my martial arts skills were not as good as you are now, but I still succeeded...... If it were you, what would you do? ”

"Me?" Jiang Qiantong knew that she was testing herself, so she couldn't help but subconsciously straighten her waist, and then fell into deep thought, and said for a long time, "I'...... Will someone pretend to be me, or at the same time, Tingyu will assassinate Meng Shisan, and then ask Brother Lin, you, and the younger master to help and cooperate with the master of the Snow Palace to intercept and kill with one blow? ”

"Poof—"

“……”

The Jiang Palace Master, who was completely choked by her laughter, instantly blushed, "This, this method is stupid?" ”

"No, no, it's good, it's very good!" Xi Yutang couldn't help laughing.

“……”

Since it's good, you laugh like this!

"Don't laugh!" The girl's face was so red that it seemed like it was dripping blood.

"Okay, don't laugh." Xi Yutang's eyes were full of smiles, "You did a good job, you suffered a lot if you were tough, you didn't have as many masters from the Snow Palace as my Xuantian, it was the right choice to find someone to pretend to be yourself and find a helping hand." I'm glad you came to us for help. ”

The girl on the other side breathed a sigh of relief.

"But you also have to believe in yourself a little more." Xi Yutang put away his smile, "After becoming the head, your martial arts resources and network resources will be superior than before, and it is only right to take care of both parties." No matter when, in this Jianghu, the winner is king, you are very strong now, I believe that you will fight with all your strength, and you will not be worse than Xiao Yunhan, Wen Yushan and others. ”

“…… They. Jiang Qiantong's eyes flashed with disappointment, "My target is you, the young master, and Brother Lin." ”

"You can." Xi Yutang nodded very affirmatively, "I believe in you." ”

"Really?"

"Of course, you have very good qualifications, you can learn well if you were so lazy in the past, and you will naturally get better and better if you are more diligent in the future." Xi Yutang flicked her eyebrows, "Don't be afraid." ”

“……”

You know why I'm afraid.

Jiang Qiantong reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth and turned the topic back again, "Since Dr. Shen is by your side...... Why not get rid of the scar? Don't you feel sorry for the wounds on the girl's face? ”

Removing scars? Xi Yutang was stunned and smiled, "Give you the debut exam questions, and list the reasons why I have this scar." If that's right, there is a prize. ”

“…… How can this still be done! The girl glared at her dissatisfied, but pursed her lips in resignation, and began to imagine what she would think if she were her, "Well, you have to remember that battle, it was your victory." Also, remind yourself that there are still enemies...... Maybe there's also a sense of introspection? ”

She looked expectantly at the person in front of her.

Xi Yutang smiled and nodded, "That's right." But one of the most important things to say is to hide yourself. ”

"Huh? The scar is obvious, isn't it more conspicuous to keep it? ”

"It's hidden."

Seeing that the person opposite was confused, Xi Yutang stroked his face again, "I have never forgotten for a moment that I am a woman, this scar can make me look like a man if I accidentally show my true face one day." The older you get, the more feminine you look, even if you put on a fake Adam's apple, wear a mask, lower your voice, and don't look like your face, it's not enough. ”

"......" Jiang Qiantong was stunned, "...... you Can even your own face and voice be sacrificed? ”

"Why not?" Xi Yutang raised his eyebrows, "Unscrupulous means to achieve the goal, if you can't learn to be ruthless to others, you must first learn to be ruthless to yourself." There are gains and losses in the world, and at the same time as you get it, you must also enjoy the loss, as long as you don't regret it. ”

"Qiantong, I would rather you always be cruel to others, and I hope you will never regret it."

＃＃＃

When she said goodbye to Jiang Qiantong and went back, Xi Yutang couldn't help but think of the past, thought of Meng Shisan, the Tang family, Xiao Cheng, and reflected on the many things she had done over the years, and sat all night unconsciously.

The March and spring breeze in Yaowang Valley are warm, and you won't get cold if you sit overnight, but Xi Yutang drank wine, and even if he took a bath, he couldn't get rid of the smell of wine, and he was nagged by Shaoguang for a whole morning.

This kind of nagging has become double since he saw Shen Qi, and when he finally saw Yue Qingfeng, he didn't nag, but from time to time he looked at her with a deep look that Xi Yutang couldn't look at directly, and she almost had two heads. When she arrived at the venue, she couldn't lift her spirits, but Jiang Qiantong, her eyes were bright and energetic, and she didn't realize that it was because she mentioned the old things that her teacher couldn't sleep all night.

It's just that today is the last competition, whether Shen Qi can get the Shangqing Silver Branch Lotus depends on today, Xi Yutang has to cheer up and accompany him. The consequence of not being able to wake up and getting drunk is that she has a bad temper and becomes more and more lazy, even when she arrives at the venue, she doesn't pay attention to other people's greetings, and as soon as she sits down, she leans on Yue Qingfeng's shoulder and intends to sleep.

…… She leaned in, causing another gasp.

The younger the lord was originally unhappy, this will suddenly disappear, the handsome face that is like a fairy on weekdays is not alienated, but the smile blooms, the eyes are crooked, the smile on the corner of the lips has not dispersed, he doesn't mind the eyes of others at all, and he also adjusted his posture to make someone lean more comfortably, and at the same time raised his eyes and looked back at those unbelievable glances one by one, as if to say, whoever dares to disturb will be killed on the spot.

Everyone was defeated by the murderous aura in his eyes, and one by one they twitched the corners of their mouths and silently withdrew their gaze.

…… I can't look at it directly anyway.

However, today is not destined to be smooth.

The four winners of the final competition are in the final competition, the four are Shen Qi, Shen Rong, Shen Ying and another unknown middle-aged doctor, and the question is a patient with a strange disease. Just when the four of them were still thinking about how to diagnose and treat them, there was a sudden commotion in the venue, and then a disciple of the Medicine King Valley hurriedly came to the stands and said something beside Shen Luo. In just one sentence, Shen Luo was so shocked that he instantly lost his temper and got up.

"Contest paused!" He immediately stopped the competition.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and before they could figure out what was going on, they heard a shout from afar: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived—"

The moment the words fell, the entire square was shocked, almost everyone stood up in an instant, and the entire Medicine King Valley was as silent as death at this moment.

Soon, a group of people came from a distance, and in the center was a dark purple figure, with a jade python robe, tall and thin, and a noble gesture, and the natural majesty seemed to be a powerful aura at this time, making everyone subconsciously hold their breath.

When the other party approached, everyone saw that figure clearly, it was the prince Si Li!

A high bundle of black hair, revealing that handsome face, the eyes that flew up obliquely turned around, bringing out a touch of cold coercion, and the corners of his mouth were obviously smiling, but it made people feel unapproachable for no reason. He passed through the middle of the square, and walked unusually calmly with every step, and came to the top of the stands in silence.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Shen Luo knelt down first.

Everyone came back to their senses, saluted one after another, and shouted in unison, "See His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

……

Xi Yutang slept in a daze, she heard the sound, her eyelashes trembled slightly and she was about to wake up, but Yue Qingfeng next to her gently patted her back and signaled that she was okay. Inevitably, when everyone knelt down and saluted, the abruptness of the two men was revealed.

Si Li saw the two of them at a glance.

Only then did Yue Qingfeng pull the person up, get up slowly, and salute Si Li, "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

With his identity, only Emperor Yanping in the world can make him kneel and bow, even in the face of Si Li, he just bows.

Xi Yutang squinted his eyes and looked over, left his boss, raised his eyebrows slowly, and knelt down as soon as he lifted the hem of his clothes.

In the next second, Si Li's toes fell in front of her a little bit, and at the last moment, he grabbed her arm and pulled the person up, his voice was calm mixed with a hint of imperceptible trembling, "Sect Master Xi doesn't need to be polite. ”

Then, he turned around and said loudly, "Excuse me, everyone." ”

When the words fell, everyone thanked them and got up. Shen Luo stood up straight and looked over with a complicated gaze. At the same time, Shen Qi, who was standing at the front of the square, also turned his head from afar.

Xi Yutang knelt halfway down and knew that he couldn't kneel, so he simply stood up straight with Si Li's strength and looked at the person in front of him seriously.

The last time they saw each other was five months ago. However, in half a year, the young man jumped taller, and the momentum around his body also changed greatly, and he still had exquisite facial features in his memory, but because of his thinness, he lost a lot of baby fat and childishness, and the eyes that looked at her were still clear, but there were many more things.

What used to be a little boy is now grown up.

Xi Yutang's nose was sour, but the corners of his lips were smiling, and his eyes as deep as ancient wells drooped at this moment, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Si Li moved his lips, forcibly endured the overturning of the river and the sea in his heart, let go of his hand with great control, and turned to Shen Luo, "I heard that the Medicine King Valley held a hundred herbs conference, and my father asked the palace to come to see it for a long time, Lord Shen Gu, I don't know if the palace has caught up?" ”

"The minister is afraid, it is a great honor for my Royal Highness to come." Shen Luo is also concurrently serving as a consultant of the Tai Hospital, and this 'minister' is just right, "It is the last competition of the medical skills competition, His Royal Highness is just right, please take a seat." ”

Si Li bowed slightly, sat down on the main seat unceremoniously, and his eyes fell on the first row of the square, "The four in front of you are the winners of this year's medical skills competition?" ”

"Exactly." Shen Luo looked at the four people, "The four of you haven't seen Your Highness yet?" ”

The four of them suddenly stepped forward and prepared to kneel again.

"Excuse me." Si Li's gaze swept over Shen Qi, who had changed his appearance, and said lightly, "Lord Shen Gu, go on, this palace will see." ”

…… Shen Luo, who originally wanted his son and nephew to show his face in front of the prince, suppressed the loss in his heart, and nodded to signal the competition to continue.

Si Li's sudden appearance made the noisy atmosphere of the entire stand instantly become solemn and serious, only after Xi Yutang and Yue Qingfeng sat down, they were still calm and leisurely, as if it was none of their business who came.

However, after all, there was no sleepiness, Xi Yutang looked at the competition of the four people in the field, and said lightly, "...... Did you get any news beforehand? ”

"No, I didn't." Yue Qingfeng reluctantly let her sit down, and his gaze crossed Si Li and fell on Shen Luo, "Shen Gu Lord is probably also surprised...... Your Highness came by surprise this time, and even you and I hid it. ”

Hearing the meaning of his words, Xi Yutang lowered his eyes and was silent.

Even if she decided to help Si Li, she still insisted that the contact code within the church must be changed. There are impermeable walls in the world, even if they have a time when the horse stumbles, if anyone can grasp the whereabouts of the prince of the Great Jin, then it will be worth it?

"Master." Leng Yi's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "Young Master Lan sent a message from there, asking if the plan for today is as usual?" Need to bypass the division...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”

Oh? My brother's speed is fast. Xi Yutang raised his eyes to look at the main seat, and replied without changing his face, "It's okay, continue." ”

Yue Qingfeng raised his eyebrows, and also transmitted the voice to the people around him, "You don't avoid suspicion." ”

"If you can panic about this little thing, you don't deserve his status as a prince, it's better to roll back to the snow mountain as soon as possible, so as not to die in the capital."

“…… It doesn't hurt to say hello to Si Li in advance. ”

"No, you don't."

Clearly felt her cold and hard attitude, shook his head with a smile, the less the Lord was helpless, "You, ......"

Xi Yutang's wrist flipped, and there was a small hidden weapon on his fingertips. The hidden weapon has no pattern and no decoration, it is extremely ordinary, and it is impossible to see any origin. She tossed and turned around for a long time before she said, "Yes, you don't have to persuade me." ”

"Let me see...... Is he worth it? ”
