Chapter 686: Broken and then Standing
Out of the main hall, I swayed to the Hundred Refining Hall with Yan Xiaotian's support.
Yan Xiaotian sent me all the way to the entrance of the building, where there were two disciples who entered the room, Yan Xiaotian asked them to go downstairs first, and then said to me: "You go and talk to my master, I'll ...... I won't go up. ”
I nodded, grabbed the handrail of the staircase and climbed the stairs with difficulty, knocking on the wooden door on the top floor.
After waiting for three or five seconds, the door opened, Ye Fanxin stood on the other side of the door, she looked a little haggard, seeing that it was me, she first looked behind me, sighed softly, and then bowed to me: "Left master." ”
I waved my hand at her: "Yan Xiaotian is my best friend, and you are his master, I should have saluted you." It's a pity that I'm a little weak now, so I'm afraid that I'll be too big and accidentally fall out of the door. ”
Ye Fan was stunned for a moment, then opened the door completely and invited me to sit in.
I found a wooden chair with cushions and sat down, and said straight to the point: "I came this time mainly to help Yan Xiaotian ask you if you are a person from the funeral sect. ”
Ye Fanxin probably didn't expect me to be so direct, so he was a little surprised, and was silent for a moment before shaking his head.
I was relieved to see her shake her head, in fact, I had speculated before that with the characteristics of Zhou Tianshi's behavior, he would find the most innocent person to be his scapegoat, because such a person is the most difficult to be suspected, and once suspected, it is the most difficult to be forgiven.
has been intriguing with the Funeral Sect for more than ten years, and I still have a relatively thorough understanding of people like Zhou Tianshi.
Thinking about this in my heart, I couldn't find a topic for a while, so I was silent, Ye Fanxin didn't speak, and the atmosphere in the room became very dull for a while.
After a long time, she asked me for no reason: "Does the left head drink tea?" ”
I let out an "oh" and responded: "It's okay to drink some, hehe, I don't usually have the habit of drinking tea, good tea and bad tea are the same for me." ”
Ye Fanxin smiled, took out a box of tea leaves from the cabinet at the head of the bed, boiled hot water, and dispersed the tea leaves, and the fresh fragrance immediately spread in the room.
In a trance, a scene appeared in my mind, the young Yan Xiaotian was sitting in my current position, Ye Fanxin was slowly pouring boiling hot water into a small pot not far away, I had no way of knowing how Ye Fanxin thought of Yan Xiaotian at that time, but I could imagine that Yan Xiaotian must have shrunk in this small corner at that time, quietly watching Ye Fanxin's every move, and couldn't take his eyes off it.
When Ye Fanxin put the teacup in front of me, I sniffed the taste in the cup and said "good tea".
Ye Fanxin sat opposite me and smiled at me: "These teas were given by Sister Nancy, I remember the first time I saw the head of the left, and it was also where Sister Nancy lived." ”
I also smiled: "When I first saw Senior Ye, I thought you were Yan Xiaotian's personal secretary." ”
Ye Fanxin: "At that time, Xiaotian often took jobs outside, his cultivation was not high, and his temperament was anxious, I was afraid that he would make a mistake, so I kept following him." ”
I let out a long breath: "I forgot how many years ago, in a blink of an eye, so many years have passed." ”
Ye Fanxin nodded: "Yes, too many things have happened over the years, from last night to tonight, Baiwu Mountain has undergone great changes. Speaking of which, Xiaotian is really a blessed person, he has been very difficult all these years, but at least there are friends like you, unlike Brother Kai......"
Speaking of this, Ye Fanxin was silent again, she lowered her head and slowly tasted the tea, as if she wanted to hide the embarrassment in her heart.
I drank most of the cup of tea in one go, and then asked Ye Fanxin: "What are Senior Ye's plans next?" ”
Ye Fanxin sighed: "I plan to leave Baiwu Mountain, go out for a walk and take a look, I haven't left Baiwu Mountain for so many years, and I don't know what has become outside." ”
I put the teacup back on the table, stared into Ye Fanxin's eyes and said, "You can't go, Yan Xiaotian needs you to stay." ”
Ye Fanxin sighed helplessly: "Alas, how can I not miss him when I leave, he grew up with me since he was a child, just like his own child." But if I stay here, I can only cause him unnecessary trouble, and the current Baiwu Mountain can be said to be internal and external troubles, and I can't distract him anymore. ”
Like your own child? Hearing Ye Fanxin say this, I knew that Yan Xiaotian was out of play.
But no matter what Ye Fan thought, it was not a wise choice for her to leave Baiwu Mountain now.
I thought about it for a while, and said to Ye Fanxin: "If you leave Baiwu Mountain now, it will not be conducive to Yan Xiaotian's prestige in the Council of Elders." ”
Ye Fanxin was puzzled: "Why?" ”
I helped her analyze: "When the matter in front of me passes, the equity of the Presbyterian Council is compressed, and they will definitely stop for a while." But I don't think the elders will stop for too long, and after the turmoil passes, they will still talk about the relationship between you and Yan Xiaotian, if you leave, no matter what Yan Xiaotian says, the elders will say that he sent you out of Baiwu Mountain in order to cover up his crimes. In fact, you and Yan Xiaotian are nothing, but the phrase 'those who are clear are self-purifying' is not applicable in Baiwu Mountain. ”
Ye Fanxin fell silent again, bowed his head and tasted tea.
I added: "The Council of Elders is complicit, these people, the three of them become tigers, even if they don't exist, they will make it true." At that time, Yan Xiaotian was really in trouble. ”
Ye Fanxin raised his head and looked at me: "You said that Yan Xiaotian wants to establish his authority in the Council of Elders, how can he establish his prestige?" ”
"Senior Ye, think about it," I leaned back in my chair and asked her slowly, "Why hasn't Yan Xiaotian been able to establish his prestige in the Council of Elders all these years?" ”
Ye Fanxin looked at me and shook his head.
I could see that Ye Fanxin, like Yan Xiaotian, was also a person who couldn't come up with ideas, and sighed helplessly in his heart.
I touched my chin and pondered for a moment before I said to Ye Fanxin: "Generally speaking, it is because Yan Xiaotian is used to being weak, even if he becomes the leader, he still can't be tough in front of the Elders. He now has a certain amount of strength, but he is always bound by various rules, and he can't be tough. So, if he wants to be tough, the first thing he does is break those old rules. ”
When Ye Fanxin looked at me, there was still a little doubt on his face, obviously he didn't understand the meaning of my words.
I simply said bluntly: "Next time, the elders will use your relationship with him to talk about things, and Yan Xiaotian needs to put on a posture." This gesture is, 'I just like my teacher, what can you do to me!' ’。 To be honest, as long as Yan Xiaotian didn't take the Council of Elders in his eyes, those old guys really couldn't do anything to him, as long as they understood that they couldn't shake Yan Xiaotian now, Baiwu Mountain could really be at peace. ”
Hearing me say this, Ye Fanxin's face became a little embarrassed, she bit her lip and didn't speak for a long time, I could also see from her expression that she knew Yan Xiaotian's feelings for her, as for whether she could accept this feeling, she had already made it very clear before.
I don't know how long I was silent before Ye Fanxin shook his head at me: "No, no, this is absolutely not good, in this case, it will break the rules set by the ancestors!" ”
I said: "Sticking to the rules can't help Baiwu Mountain, think about the messy dogma of Baiwu Mountain has lasted for thousands of years, it should have been changed a long time ago, besides, you are single, Yan Xiaotian is also single, that law says that he can't like you?" He likes you for his business, and he has a relationship with those elders! ”
Ye Fanxin couldn't listen anymore: "Boss Zuo, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes." ”
I had no intention of stopping, and continued: "What Yan Xiaotian has to do now is by no means to continue to hold on to those old rules and watch Baiwu Mountain sink, what he has to do now is to break and stand up. ”
The words were all said about this, but Ye Fanxin still kept shaking his head.
I said to her: "Yan Xiaotian has no other choice, if you want to be powerful, you have to do this." But I know him, he will hesitate, he needs faith, and the only person who can give him this confidence is you. If you leave, Yan Xiaotian may lose his last chance to stand up. Senior Ye, stay, for the sake of Yan Xiaotian and Baiwu Mountain, stay. ”
Ye Fanxin finally stopped shaking her head, she stared at me, and still didn't speak.
I continued: "This may be the last time the Council of Elders will be caught, Yan Xiaotian has the courage to turn against the Council of Elders in order to protect you, but if you leave, he will have no worries, and at the same time, he will have no motivation. ”
"Really?" Ye Fanxin spit out these two words briefly, and began to be silent again.
"Senior Ye, that's all I have to say," I said as I stood up holding on to the table: "I still have some things, go first." I hope you will think about what you just said. ”
After speaking, I leaned on the wall and moved to the door, and when I was struggling to move both feet out of the threshold, I heard Ye Fanxin say behind me: "I will stay." ”
I really didn't have the strength to turn my head and say, "That's good." He walked down the stairs.
Yan Xiaotian was waiting for me at the corner of the staircase, and as soon as he saw me come out, he quickly ran up to support me, and asked in a low voice, "How is it?" ”
I said, "Your master is not a person who is a burial sect. She planned to leave Baiwu Mountain after this matter was resolved, but I dissuaded her. She will stay, but for how long it depends on your creation. ”
I thought that Yan Xiaotian would at least be excited when he heard that Ye Fanxin would stay, but I didn't expect him to sigh bitterly: "Actually, I hope that my sister will leave, she stays in Baiwu Mountain, and she always doesn't do anything well." ”
"Let's go downstairs first." I patted Yan Xiaotian on the back and pointed to the stairs.
Yan Xiaotian helped me take two steps, and suddenly stopped: "No, Zuo Youdao, I am the master of Baiwu Mountain, how did I accidentally become your crutch." ”
I was happy at the time: "I've helped you so much, do you have any opinions for me?" Yan Xiaotian, you are not righteous. ”
Yan Xiaotian leaned towards me with a smile, and said, "For the sake of you helping me so much, be a crutch and be a crutch." He helped me to continue walking downstairs.
Although he kept saying that he hoped that Ye Fanxin would leave Baiwu Mountain, it could be seen that he was still very happy to learn that Ye Fanxin could stay.
Coming to the door of the Hundred Refining Hall, Yan Xiaotian drove away the two people guarding the door, and then said to me, "What did you want to say just now, do you have to go downstairs?" ”
I said the content of the previous conversation with Ye Fanxin in as much detail as possible, when I spoke, Yan Xiaotian frowned, and when I finished speaking, his reaction was similar to Ye Fanxin's, and he kept shaking his head: "No, no, it's a bit too much to do this, after all, the rules of Baiwu Mountain were set by the ancestors, you let me break and stand up, to put it bluntly, let me change the rules left by my ancestors, no, no, no matter how I think about it, I don't think it's appropriate." ”
I asked him, "Do you want to protect your sister?" ”
Yan Xiaotian nodded: "Of course I want to." ”
I asked him again, "Do you want to revive Baiwu Mountain?" ”
Yan Xiaotian still nodded: "This still needs to be said!" ”
I then asked, "Do you know what is the biggest ill of Baiwu Mountain?" ”
This time, Yan Xiaotian hesitated, but finally responded: "Stick to the rules." ”
