Chapter 264: Duel
In her Shen Xianhe's life, even if she faced life and death, she never bowed her head, even in the most difficult moments, she never gave in, how could she give in in front of these Gu worms, no matter how scared she was, she would not give up her self-esteem and admit defeat to a despicable and shameless villain, she had never before, she couldn't now, and she wouldn't in the future.
After speaking, Shen Xianhe gritted his teeth and forced himself to lift his footsteps and walk towards the dense pile of Gu worms.
Just when Shen Xianhe thought that those terrifying Gu worms would rush up to her body, she closed her eyes in fear, her body trembled like a sieve, gritted her teeth, and clenched her fists to withstand the terrible attack, but she didn't move for a long time.
Without waiting for the imaginary picture, she quickly opened her eyes, and saw that the Gu worms that were originally densely surrounding her feet seemed to have encountered something to be afraid of, and around her, those Gu worms retreated far away, not daring to approach her.
Seeing this scene, Shen Xianhe looked up at the black-clothed masked man standing in the swarm of Gu insects with an unclear look in his eyes, and then strode towards the dense pile of Gu insects.
Those Gu worms were still the same as before, and everywhere she went, they all retreated cleanly, not daring to approach her.
Shen Xianhe couldn't help but look at the black-clothed masked man with joy and asked curiously.
"What's going on? Why are these Gu worms scared when they see me? ”
It's a pity that the man in the black mask didn't explain to her, but was extremely angry and his tone was extremely unkind.
"Okay, since the Holy Maiden doesn't need my help and came by herself, then don't waste time, let's hurry up and follow me to see the Great Elder, he has been waiting for a long time."
After speaking, without waiting for Shen Xianhe, he turned around angrily and strode forward.
Shen Xianhe looked at his angry back, couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth, revealing a sneering smile, and then slowly followed behind him.
"Oops! It's really disappointing to some people, I want to see me beg him in a low voice, but unfortunately, it's in vain, not only can't wait, but also been slapped in the face, it's really funny, a manly man, how can he be so small-bellied, it's the man who doesn't look like a man since I grew up so big! ”
Shen Xianhe deliberately said these words behind him to stimulate the black-clothed masked man, watching the black-clothed masked man's body stride forward stiffly, the hand hanging by his side clenched into a fist, and the back of his hand was even more bruised, she couldn't help but feel happy.
Soon, after walking through the dense Gu insect area, she walked through the hall to the lotus pond in the backyard, and looked at a white-haired man sitting on a chair with her back to her, and a black-clothed masked man standing neatly beside him.
Shen Xianhe knew that this white-haired old man was a great elder who was not as famous as meeting.
Sure enough, as soon as this idea fell, the black-clothed masked man who was following her knelt down three steps away from the white-haired old man.
"See the Great Elder, Elder, my subordinates brought him back according to your orders, and my subordinates are guilty, please punish the Great Elder."
"Oh, really? What have you sinned? ”
The figure of the Great Elder slowly turned around with his words, and Shen Xianhe finally saw clearly the culprit who had made Miao Jiang miserable.
Because of the preconceived concept, looking at the Great Elder's white-haired face, the pair of vicious eyes that exuded viciousness like a poisonous snake, as well as the face full of ravines, and bruised lips, made Shen Xianhe have to gather the energy of his whole body to warn him.
"Your subordinates obeyed your orders to greet the Holy Maiden, but neglected her on the way, and even spoke disrespectfully to her and threatened her, and the subordinates knew that they were guilty, so please ask the Great Elder to punish her."
Listening to the black-clothed masked man kneeling in front of the Great Elder and pleading honestly, Shen Xianhe's eyes were on the Great Elder from beginning to end, and he didn't look at the black-clothed masked man kneeling on the ground.
Because, she wants to know, what kind of trouble are they doing?
"Knowing your mistakes can improve greatly, but you shouldn't ask me for this sin, but to the Holy Maiden, and the person you snub is her, not me."
After pushing this problem onto Shen Xianhe, the Great Elder and Shen Xianhe met their gaze.
"Yes, my subordinates understand."
After speaking, the man in the black mask knelt and turned to Shen Xianhe, and after kowtowing to her three times with a "dong dong", he stood up and pleaded guilty to Shen Xianhe with his forehead that had been bloodied.
"Holy Maiden, it is a subordinate who commits a crime and neglects you, all this is the idea of his subordinates, and has nothing to do with anyone else, no matter how you punish him, his subordinates will let you deal with it, and there will be no objections."
Shen Xianhe didn't look at him, but said to the Great Elder who seemed to be smiling.
"The first time we met, the Great Elder's subordinates gave me such a big meeting gift, which flattered me, although I have nothing to do with the Great Elder, but, whether you instructed it or not, the Great Elder can't escape the crime of lax discipline, does the Great Elder think I'm right?"
Faced with Shen Xianhe's temptation, the Great Elder not only did not get angry, but laughed.
"I have long heard that the saint is an interesting and intelligent person, and when I saw it today, it was indeed the case, since the saint said that I was guilty of not disciplining my subordinates, how do I think the saint should punish him?"
Shen Xianhe also smiled with him.
"The Great Elder smiled, you must have your own rules when you lead these subordinates, as your subordinate, he made such a mistake, naturally according to your rules, since he came according to your rules, then the Great Elder is at fault, naturally according to your rules."
Shen Xianhe's words made the Great Elder, who was originally full of smiles, stiffen, and the temperature in his eyes instantly cooled.
And the black-clothed masked man who was kneeling on the ground was also shocked by Shen Xianhe's words, and looked at her blankly.
Shen Xianhe didn't really want them to punish themselves, and he didn't believe that they would really do what she said, the reason why she said this was just a temptation.
Tempting how much the Great Elder would tolerate her, now, looking at his changed expression, he knew that this level was the bottom line he could tolerate.
In order to delay the time for them to get the hazmat suit, she must test his bottom line and then act on the opportunity to buy time.
So he laughed out loud and waved his hand at them.
"You don't have to be so serious, I just made a joke, please don't be surprised, I usually like to play pranks like this."
Seeing Shen Xianhe break the deadlock, the Great Elder's stiff face also eased.
"So that's the case, it seems that the saint is really playful!"
Shen Xianhe nodded.
"Well, life is already boring, if it's the same every day, it's not very boring, anyway, I think that happiness is the most important thing, if I'm not happy, even if I can live thousands of years and hundreds of years, then for me, it's just endless torture, it's better to obey the destiny of heaven."
The meaning of Shen Xianhe's words, the Great Elder understood, the black-clothed masked man who was still kneeling on the ground also understood, and the people around him also understood.
"What the saint said is that maybe for the saint, as long as she is happy, but, for me, happiness is not the most important thing, in life, there must always be ideals and ambitions, create a great achievement, benefit future generations, and go down in history, this is what I pursue."
In the face of what she said, the Great Elder did not get angry, but generously said his ambitions.
Shen Xianhe was stunned for a moment and smiled.
He commanded the man in the black mask who was still kneeling in front of him.
"Get up, although you have a small belly and chicken intestines, and your behavior is despicable, but I am not you, I will not be as impolite as you, although I am a woman, you do not take it seriously, but I am no worse than any man, this point, you will admit sooner or later."
Shen Xianhe's generous words and straightforward sarcasm made the black-clothed masked man stiff, and his face under the mask turned white and blue, blue and purple.
He was extremely reluctant to hide the unwillingness and viciousness of his eyes, and clasped his fists and saluted Shen Xianhe.
"Thank you, Lord Holy Maiden, for not worrying about your subordinates."
After speaking, he got up and walked behind the Great Elder and stood with his head bowed.
"The saint is right, although you are a woman, but you have a style and bones that ordinary men have, it is my subordinate who has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and offended the saint, since you have forgiven him generously, I still have to apologize to you here for him."
"The Great Elder said seriously, I didn't take this matter to heart, just thinking about what you said before, I disagreed, although I am a woman, although the pursuit of ordinary happiness, but it is something that many people cannot achieve in their lifetime, for example, those parents who have lost their children in Miaojiang City, they wash their faces with tears all day long, they don't know where their children are, and even whether they are alive or dead is not clear, what they can do every day is to stay at home, make the dishes that children love to eat, wait, wait for God to open their eyes, and the children can appear, Then the family was reunited. ”
In the face of her direct words, the Great Elder still couldn't be calm after all.
The smile on his face was gone, only gloomy, and his eyes were even more cold and terrifying.
"Holy Maiden, what the hell do you want to say?"
Shen Xianhe smiled lightly.
"What is the Great Elder anxious about? Is it because of a weak heart? ”
"Hmph, what does the old man have to be kind."
The Great Elder snorted coldly.
