Zhu Yi sighed, looked at Zhuge Ming, and said sincerely: "Brother Zhuge , I misunderstood you before, please forgive me!"

Zhuge Ming waved his hand and said, "Brother Zhu, you and I are like brothers, so don't say these extraneous words." ”

After a pause, he said, "Tell me what the matter is, I don't know why you misunderstood me......

Zhu Yi glanced at Tang Chen inadvertently, hesitating whether to let Tang Chen know the cause and effect of the matter.

Tang Chen saw the scruples in his heart, so he got up and said, "You guys talk first, I want to go outside and have a good look......"

Zhuge Ming hurriedly got up, held Tang Chen, and said, "Little friend, please stay, if you don't mind, I want you to listen to it too, and besides, the old man still has a little thing to ask Xiaoyou for help!"

Tang Chen looked at Zhuge Ming, and then at Zhu Yi, in comparison, it is easy to see that Zhuge Ming is still much more atmospheric than Zhu Yi, you must know that his friendship with Zhuge Ming, strictly speaking, is still Zhuge Ming's kindness to him.

As for Zhu Yi, he and Zhu Yi can be said to have a life-saving grace, and this kind of kindness is many times greater than Zhuge Ming's treatment of him.

It stands to reason that in comparison, Zhu Yi should trust himself more.

However, the result was the opposite......

This made Tang Chen suddenly understand a truth: whether others trust you or not has little to do with how much kindness you have to him.

Seeing Tang Chen looking at Zhu Yi, Zhuge Ming hurriedly said to Zhu Yi: "Brother Zhu, Tang Chen's little friend is not an outsider, besides, what you want to say is not a major secret, let him listen to it, there is nothing to do." ”

Only then did Zhu Yi realize that he was too cautious, and explained: "My predecessors have saved my life, how can I not trust my predecessors! I just don't want my seniors to review those sad past events with us......

After speaking, he bowed down and invited Tang Chen to take a seat again.

Tang Chen didn't have any interest in Zhu Yi's past events, he just wanted to further understand the intricate relationships within the Instrument Sect through these things, after all, if he wanted to break the barren cage, he had to face several powerful opponents, and the Instrument Sect was one of them, so it was naturally beneficial to know more about it.

After Tang Chen took his seat, Zhu Yi briefly recounted his misfortune thirty years ago.

It turned out that Zhu Yi thirty years ago was an outstanding genius among the younger generations of the Instrument Sect, and he was among the top ten Tianjiao figures on the Little Star God List.

At that time, the internal selection of the master of the Young Sect was being selected, and the two most promising among them were Zhuge Ming and Zhuge Quan.

Young Sect Master, in a few years, if nothing else, will definitely become the Sect Master of the Instrument Sect, one of the nine first-class forces of the Star God Continent, it is conceivable how much power is in his hands, and very few people can calmly face the temptation of such power without being moved.

Where there are interests, there are disputes, and the Qizong Sect is naturally not immune.

Since the ancestor of Zhuge founded the instrument sect, the instrument sect has always been respected by the Zhuge family, and the candidate for the suzerain must also be selected from the Zhuge family, and the people of other families, no matter how excellent, can only become the arm of the Zhuge family.

For countless years, there have been so many families attached to the Instrument Sect, some of which have been passed down since the time of the founding of Zhuge Ancestor, some of which have joined the Instrument Sect later, and some of which have developed after the rise of the outstanding disciples who joined the Instrument Sect.

Due to the dispute between the ancestors and relatives within the Zhuge family, many dependent families are not of the same mind, and they follow different Zhuge people, thus forming many factions.

These factions are often centered on the suzerain's candidates, forming two or three large interest groups.

Thirty years ago, there were two such major interest groups in the Qizong, one of which had Zhuge Ming as the core, and the other with Zhuge Quan as the core.

Zhu Yi and his family are members of Zhuge Ming's interest group.

It is precisely because of the existence of Zhu Yi's genius that Zhuge Ming has gained more favor in the competition of the young sect master, because the investigation of the selection of the young sect master is not only to examine himself, but also to comprehensively consider the advantages and disadvantages of the talents who follow him.

Because of this, Zhu Yi has become a thorn in Zhuge Quan's side, and if he can't win him over, he secretly uses tricks to get rid of him quickly.

In the end, Zhu Yi was besieged and seriously injured when he went out on a mission.

Subsequently, Zhu Yi was blamed for the crime of "stealing the secret exercises of the sect" and was wanted by the sect, and his relatives were also implicated, except for his son who escaped, everyone else was executed.

After the reunion of his father and son, he wanted to contact Zhuge Ming, hoping to use his power to clear his name, but considering that Zhuge Ming was competing for the young sect master, he was afraid that it would have an adverse impact on him, so he decided to lurk for a period of time first, and wait for Zhuge Ming to compete for the young sect master before the matter passed.

However, a few years later, he contacted Zhuge Ming with a communication star device, but what he was waiting for was the encirclement and suppression of the Instrument Sect, but fortunately, the father and son were able to escape when they saw the opportunity.

However, Zhu Yi and his son were seriously injured in this encirclement and suppression, and Zhu Yi fell into a hidden illness and completely lost his cultivation, and his son also died a few years later due to injuries.

The only fortunate thing is that his son was happy to have a daughter before he died, so that the bloodline continued.

After listening to Zhu Yi's story, Tang Chen was speechless for a long time, secretly lamenting the darkness and cruelty within the big family and big forces, and at the same time thinking of the future of the Shanhe Sect, he had doubts about what he had done for the first time.

"The current Shanhe Sect, on the whole, is still pure and united. Once it grows up, like the Instrument Sect, or even bigger, will it be so evil and filthy inside? Especially if I am gone, if I leave, and everyone loses their restraints, will they still be so harmonious?......

Tang Chen lowered his head and pondered, for a while, there was no answer, and no one could give an answer.

Zhuge Ming was full of anger, and couldn't help but slam his fist on the wine table, making a loud "bang", causing Tang Chen and Zhu Yi to look at him.

"Alas, no wonder Brother Zhu misunderstood me so deeply and resented me so much!" Zhuge Ming sighed: "Actually, not long after your accident, I was also implicated in your affairs, and was framed as the main messenger of you stealing the secret exercises of the sect, and then I was demoted to the Ten Thousand Instruments Pavilion in the Wasteland, and the original communication star device was also forced to be handed over to the sect. ”

Zhu Yi covered his face with his hands and rubbed it, and said, "The moment I learned that you went to the Wasteland Ten Thousand Instruments Pavilion, I thought that this should be the case, and only this situation can explain why you 'betrayed' me." ”
