Master Starlight faced the young man in front of him, although he was born humble and had never seen any scenes, so he looked a little clumsy everywhere, but in the face of people who could kill him at any time and really wanted to kill him before today, he was still neither humble nor arrogant and calm.
"To be honest, I quite appreciate you, you did well yesterday. Master Starlight stood with his hands in his hands, his voice did not fluctuate at all, and he remained at a horizontal line from beginning to end, "I know Yinyue's character, and she is more proud than Dongguixue in her bones, but her vision has always been good, and the people who can be favored by her will not be ordinary people." ”
Yun Ying said coldly: "So you want to kill me?"
"That's right, killing people like you is indeed the best option. Master Starlight's attitude was very calm and he didn't feel any murderous aura: "Because the matter of Silver Moon is too involved, in order to ensure the stability of Tianyun City, I have to do this." Don't you know that the pressure and responsibility on the shoulders of a city lord, sometimes for the sake of the overall situation, we have to make some trade-offs, and even some things against our will, don't you?"
Yun Ying raised his eyebrows slightly: "The big picture? ”
"Haven't you figured it out yet? Yinyue ran into the wilderness alone to slay demons, and no one followed and helped her, doesn't the whole thing feel very strange?"
Yun Ying had long been puzzled about this matter.
Xiyun Yinyue was born in such a noble family and was so powerful, and almost controlled the vast majority of the power of the demon hunters in the Tianyun Divine Domain, how could they not give Xiyun Yinyue a little help, and watched Xiyun Yinyue almost die? It is not too much to deal with that kind of powerful character, plus ten or twenty demon hunters.
Yun Ying was a little interested: "Why?"
"It's a long story to talk about, because it is related to the family's reputation, and it shouldn't have been revealed. But now, it doesn't hurt for me to tell you. When Master Starlight said this, Gu Jinwubo's eyes showed a look of amazement for the first time, "My younger brother Juechen, who has been extremely talented since he was a child, once served as the president of the Demon Hunter Guild, and a civilian demon hunter who controls the entire Demon Hunter Guild, has a transcendent status in Tianyun City, originally a promising person, and has a talented daughter, but unfortunately in the later stage...... He went astray. ”
Yun Ying didn't understand.
He is also a famous demon hunter, how could he go astray?
"You heard it right, because of his close relationship with the demon clan in private, he even has something to do with several city massacres in the Tianyun Divine Domain. The temple had conclusive evidence, and when he wanted to investigate him, Jiechen seemed to be aware of it and left the Tianyun Divine Domain alone, and at that time, there were various signs that he had taken refuge in the demon race. ”
Yun Ying was taken aback.
A demon hunter colluded with the demons and the incident happened, and finally escaped from the Divine Domain and joined the demons? If this kind of thing was true, Tianyun City should have spread all over it a long time ago.
"As for what happened next, it has now become an unsolved mystery, perhaps because he knows too much and makes the demons feel that it is a scourge, or maybe he has other disputes with the demons. All we know is that in the end he fought with the demons and was killed, and that's how it happened. ”
Yun Ying felt a little ridiculous.
The wilderness made up by Master Starlight is too clumsy.
So the real traitor is Yinyue's father?!
Master Starlight continued to take care of himself: "Jiechen is my own brother, the pride of the Xiyun family, and a world-famous demon hunter, if the news of his collusion with the demon clan spreads, the sensation and consequences will be devastating. In order to maintain the stability of Tianyun City, our external news is that the Absolute Dust Hunting Demon Clan fell into a trap and was killed. ”
Yun Ying was a little unconvinced.
Master Starlight looked at him, "Please carefully recall some details of your contact with Silvermoon." ”
Yun Ying frowned.
He still remembered that every time Yinyue thought about her father's death, she was not only filled with hatred, but also filled with great shame. If a demon hunter really died in the process of slaying demons, not only is there nothing to be ashamed of, but it is the highest glory that a warrior deserves, why would Silver Moon be so sad and indignant, and not hesitate to violate the Tianyun Code and even the code of demon hunting, and even give up his glorious past, desperately to take revenge?
Yun Ying didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but if he thinks about it now, it must be this reason.
This kind of thing is stable, ordinary civilians may not know, but Yinyue can't not know, but she doesn't believe that her father will betray, and she is even more unwilling to bear this shame, so she is determined to go to the wilderness to investigate and kill the demon who killed her father by the way, and then announce the results in the divine domain.
Now the problem is that the top level of the Divine Domain may have conclusive evidence of the collusion between Peerless Dust and the Demon Clan, this is already a definite thing, and it is impossible for Yinyue to clear his father.
Therefore, she must not be allowed to bring any news back!
Otherwise it will only make things worse!
Tianyun City hadn't even announced that Silver Moon had violated the Demon Hunter's Code and went to the wilderness, so until now, the vast majority of people in Tianyun City had thought that Silver Moon was just practicing in retreat, or participating in an experience somewhere.
The return of the cloud eagle is undoubtedly full of instability, in order to prevent some bad news from leaking, so kill it! This explanation seems to make some sense, but I always feel that something is wrong.
"You are very smart, what you lack is experience and grinding, as long as you have a little experience, you can be on your own. Master Starlight showed sincerity: "Are you willing to come to work under me?" What Beichen Tian can give you, I cherish Yun Xingguang can also give you, and even more for you." I can train you to be the best witcher in the city. ”
At this moment, I have to say that Yun Ying's heart is moved.
Can he not feel excited?
This elder with a calm and wise face standing in front of him was recognized as the number one demon hunter in the Tianyun Divine Domain, and he single-handedly cultivated a young talent like Dong Guixue. Yun Ying is also a human being, he also longs to have power, and he also longs to gain power!
However, a few people flashed in Yun Ying's mind, Drifting Away from the Wind, cherishing Yun Yinyue, and Lao Jing.
Is this elder who can make people feel a sense of affection and trust, is he really trustworthy?
Yun Ying is a person who grew up in the wilderness and has not experienced any intrigues, but he has seen too much of the naked ugliness and inferiority of human nature.
Whatever is appearance, you must not be gullible.
The end of the exile wind was so miserable, although it was not the Starlight Master who did it, but he also needed to pay the main responsibility, so that he could ruin a group of devout disciples without blinking his eyes, Yun Ying would never be able to do it.
"I'm tired of all this mess, and my biggest dream is to be an ordinary person who lives a peaceful and undisturbed life. Therefore, I understood the kindness of the city lord, and I made an agreement with the commander of Beichen to work for him for a period of time, and I would return my freedom in the future. ”
The Starlight Master slowly bowed his head, wrinkles appeared in the corners of his eyes, and he sighed softly and said, "It is not a good thing for young people to pursue comfort, some people are destined to be rough and difficult, you can escape reality but you can't escape fate. I respect your decision, though, but if one day you are willing to change your mind, the gates of the City Lord's Mansion will be open for you at any time. ”
At this moment, Yun Ying really felt a little moved.
The Starlight City Lord is above 10,000 people, how noble and great it is in the eyes of the city's people, it is simply the patron saint of Tianyun City. Such a person with both strength, wisdom and power could invite him with such an open mind and patience, which is unimaginable for a small person like Yunying.
However, it is precisely because the Starlight City Lord is too good at buying people's hearts and too wise, Yun Ying feels a little scared, this fear is not the same as the previous fear power, the contrast of power is often very intuitive, but the gap in wisdom is always hazy, Yun Ying is worried that following the Starlight City Lord, it will not take long to be assimilated and brainwashed by him, and finally become a loyal dog in the hands of the City Lord.
Master Starlight seemed to think of something again: "I have been honest with you about the matter of Silver Moon, and I also hope that you can keep this secret, after all, everything we do is for the thousands of people of Tianyun City. Although there are occasional sacrifices, it seems to me that the smallest possible sacrifice in exchange for the greatest possible prosperity and peace is inevitable and necessary. ”
Of course, Yun Ying didn't want to get himself in trouble: "I won't say it to anyone. ”
Beichen Xi found Yun Ying and was about to take Yun Ying away, she asked him as she walked, "What did that old fox tell you?"
Yun Ying just briefly said that Master Starlight wanted him to come over to serve the City Lord's Mansion, and Beichen Xi's face, which was whiter than paper, suddenly became gloomy: "This guy is really not a good thing! Don't forget, you owe the debt to the Beichen family, and you want to leave before you pay it off!"
Master Starlight stands alone in the garden.
At this time, a footstep slowly approached, and Dong Guixue came to the side of Master Starlight, and he bent down very humbly and asked, "Teacher, the student has questions. ”
"Are you trying to ask why you let Yun Ying go, and why did you try to win him over?"
"Yes!"
"Even if Yun Ying has the protection of that old man from Beichen Tian, I have a way to bypass him and deal with him, but it is not worth it to deteriorate the relationship with the Beichen family for the sake of Yun Ying. As for wooing him, you have to remember that when you encounter an enemy that you can't solve for a while, the best thing to do is to turn him into a friend. ”
Winter Snow is a little unconvinced.
Friends? Even a lowly inferior person like Yunying is worthy!
Master Starlight sensed the dissatisfaction in his apprentice: "I have told you many times, never underestimate anyone, and never underestimate anyone's potential. In my opinion, Yun Ying's potential is no worse than anyone in Tianyun City, but he was born humble and untaught. From today onwards, no more trouble with him is allowed. ”
Dong Guixue frowned tightly and finally whispered: "Obey!"
