Chapter 699: Avoiding Sight
Ning Yue's footsteps suddenly stopped, and she slowly turned her head, staring at Zhiyue with a cold look in her eyes, "What are you talking about?"
Once Peony became a grassland saint, this undoubtedly erected a long wall between Ning Yue and Peony. In Ning Yue's heart, peony has always been a special existence. Ning Yue had never treated Peony as a maid, not even for a moment.
"Ning Yue, Miss Peony is really the new saint! Because the saintess who disappeared thirteen years ago is Miss Peony's sister. The last person to see the saint was also Peony, so the saint must have given the inheritance to Miss Peony before she disappeared. Zhiyue said slowly, looking at Ning Yue's eyes full of pleading.
"That's just your guess!" Ning Yue's eyes became more and more cold, "Moreover, Peony will not agree to become a new saint!" She grew up in the Central Plains, and she is from our Huaxia. ”
"Ning Yue, you are deceiving yourself. Peony returned to the grassland and returned to her tribe, why? If she really regarded herself as a person from Kyushu, China, why didn't she stay in Kyushu but returned to the grassland?
Thirteen years ago, the saint disappeared very strangely, and Miss Peony, who participated in the inheritance ceremony of the saint with the saint, came to the Central Plains Kyushu for some reason?
Ning Yue, you don't have a choice. Either the grassland and the Great Zhou Dynasty will go to war in an all-out way, or they will help Miss Peony become a saint to stop this big war. The grassland and the Great Zhou Dynasty accumulated hatred for hundreds of years.
There are countless reasons for war, but there is only one reason for peace. You are the king of Lantian County of the Great Zhou, I don't know if you also want this war to break out? You can leave, you can act as if none of this exists.
Whether you sit idly by, or are unwilling to help Miss Peony become a saint. When the war begins, please do not hold up the banner of righteousness and accuse us of injustice. Because of this battle, the ...... could have been avoided"
Ning Yue's footsteps paused vividly, and she inadvertently and slowly clenched her fists. Ning Yue had advanced insight, so he knew that no matter whose victory the war with the grassland ended, it was always the people who suffered.
War, the only value is destruction. No matter how unprepared the Great Zhou Dynasty is, war can be avoided if it can be avoided. Throughout the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty...... No, throughout the three thousand years of Chinese history, it has always been a passive defense, and the grassland captives have never taken the initiative to attack once.
Ning Yue turned around slowly, staring at Zheyue's eyes sharply, "I'm not moved by your words, but I am also carrying the mission of Kyushu Huaxia. You're right, I can do stand by now, because your steppe coup has nothing to do with me.
I can also not support Peony to become a steppe saint, because in my heart, she should not stay in the grassland where birds don't. Because in my eyes, the grassland is a barren land.
However, it is true that I can no longer hold up the banner of righteousness to accuse you of your unkindness when the grassland is holding the border. Zhiyue, I can help with this, but I want to see Peony!"
"No, I can't let you see Miss Peony!"
"Why......? You don't know the whereabouts of Peony at all?Or is everything you said a scam?" Ning Yue's words landed, and a sharp sword suddenly burst out of her eyes, and her eyes stared at Zhiyue coldly, if he dared to jump out of between his teeth, Ning Yue would definitely not let her go.
When the words landed, Zheyue's face suddenly became swollen, her eyes dodged, and she didn't dare to look up at Ning Yue's eyes. Seeing Zhiyue show this look, the original suspicion was also convinced.
Although there was silence on his face, the angry flames in his heart erupted like a volcano that suddenly erupted. Inadvertently, he took a few deep breaths, and the internal force flowed, and a rhyme suddenly appeared, rotating rapidly around the Taishi Sword.
"Actually, three days ago...... Miss Peony is indeed here. But three days ago, she left in a rage......" Zheyue's hesitant voice sounded, but Ning Yue's imminent attack was paused.
"Reason?" Ning Yue's is still so breezy and calm, but the killing intent of the letter of guarantee can only be understood by people who are very familiar with it.
"Because you're coming! Miss Peony doesn't want to see you!" Zhiyue sighed softly and motioned for Ning Yue to sit down again, "Mr. Ning, please take a seat, or let Zhiyue tell you from the beginning."
Two years ago, Miss Peony returned to the grassland alone and found her tribe. The identity of the saint has always been a secret on the grassland, and there is absolutely no second person who knows about it except for the saint herself.
Because each generation of saints is the reincarnation of the saints of the previous generation. In order to prevent people with ill intentions, the saint kept the identity of the heir very secret. Before the saint dies, the message of the next saint will be sealed in the holy woman's relic.
Only after the birth of the new saint and the awakening of the saint's bloodline will the holy woman's relics unseal the message of the saintess, this is the way of the saint's inheritance, which has never changed and will not change for three thousand years.
Back then, I had just broken through to Tianzun, and Peony and his sister Ah Luo were my nieces, and even my uncle didn't expect Ah Luo to be the new saint. The appearance of the saint in my tribe, or my niece, I am naturally happy to be an uncle.
happily descended the holy mountain to welcome the arrival of the holy woman, but ...... I never expected that what I was waiting for was such a bad news. The saint and the peony were gone, and the people who escorted the saint to the holy mountain were all killed.
When I arrived at the scene, my heart was cold when I saw the corpses all over the ground. I frantically searched for the corpses, I found the bodies of my brother and sister-in-law, and found many of my brothers' bodies, but there were no bodies of the saint and peony.
In the past thirteen years, I have never given up looking for a day, but in the past thirteen years, I have long since despaired. Unexpectedly, two years ago, Peony suddenly returned to the tribe.
At that time, I was overjoyed and quietly rushed back overnight. Because of what happened thirteen years ago, I believe that there have been traitors in the Immortal Heavenly Palace. I avoided the eyes of the Immortal Heavenly Palace and returned to the tribe to meet Peony, and although I hadn't seen her for eleven years, I still recognized her as my niece.
For the sake of Peony's safety, I relocated the tribe overnight and lied to the Immortal Heavenly Palace that my tribe was slaughtered by a mysterious force, which also happened to explain why I suddenly left the Holy Mountain before. ”
Zhiyue said here for a slight pause, and her eyes looked into the distance and fell into confusion. This time, Ning Yue did not urge impatiently, nor did she listen impatiently. As for the undercurrent secrets on the grassland, the more detailed Ning Yue knew, the more advantageous it was. After all, since you plan to join forces, some intelligence is essential.
Zhiyue didn't hesitate for long, and said slowly again, "After I handled it properly, I immediately asked about the whereabouts of Peony and the Holy Maiden, what happened that day?"
Peony just shook her head, Peony was too young at the beginning, and it was normal to not remember. I only know that a man in black suddenly appears and kills anyone he sees. And the saint Aro was also killed by the man in black at that time.
Originally, the man planned to kill Peony, but when he was about to do it, he was suddenly frightened away, and then Peony was taken away by the person who came later and sent to Meishan. The person who came later should be the King of Qilian of your Great Zhou!" After Zhiyue finished speaking, a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes, and she swept straight past Ning Yue's eyes.
"In that case, Peony is not a candidate for the Holy Maiden, she is just the sister of the Holy Maiden......" Ning Yue frowned, and asked with some doubts.
"Yes, I did at first, but if something happens to the Holy Maiden, the Holy Maiden's relics will feel it and wait for the Holy Maiden's reincarnated body to awaken. However, the relics of the Holy Maiden are not prompted at all times.
Therefore, the legend of the disappearance of the saint will be spread on the grassland. But from the mouth of the peony, it was learned that the saint had already died. Since this is the case, then there is only one explanation, and that is that the Holy Maiden passed on the Holy Maiden's bloodline to Peony before she died, because she was the last person to see the Holy Maiden. ”
"And then, why did Peony return to the grassland two years ago, and you only now thought of letting her accept the inheritance of the Holy Maiden, or did you only think of leading me to the grassland now?"
"Two years ago, she was not willing to accept my proposal at all, and when she returned to the grassland, she told me that she was not used to the grassland and wanted to build a Jiangnan loft in the tribe. And then I have been fiddling with flowers and plants in the attic, and I am not reluctant, anyway, the saint has been missing for thirteen years, and these thirteen years have not passed like that.
Last year, when you got married, Peony suddenly ordered someone to make a gold box, and ordered Dalf to send it to Jiangzhou as a congratulatory gift for you and Qianduxue. Darff came back and told me everything, so I realized that the Jiangnan attic built by that girl of Peony was the old mansion of your Ning Yue family.
That's why I realized that the relationship between Peony and you is by no means simple. It was also after that that I began to pay attention to you and also began to understand what kind of person you are. Frankly speaking, although you are from Kyushu, the Central Plains, but I feel admiration from the bottom of my heart. And if you want to say that I don't want to be the enemy in the world, you are definitely the first. ”
"Hahaha...... Is this flattery? Zheyue Tianzun, you surprised me like this. Ning Yue smiled lightly, but the smile on his face still betrayed him, and he was still very useful to Zheyue's sycophant.
"I've always been realistic about the moon, and I've never disdained sycophancy! Half a year ago, His Holiness suddenly issued a convocation order from the Heavenly Venerable. And he and we announced the will of immortality and decided to choose another saint.
At that time, I was convinced that the disappearance of the Holy Maiden thirteen years ago must have something to do with him. At first, the Eight Heavenly Venerables all opposed His Holiness proposal, because since ancient times, the lineage of the Holy Maiden has been based on the designation of the Holy Maiden.
However, whether the saint is qualified or not is subject to the inheritance of the saint's relics when she received it. Therefore, when His Holiness said that he could successfully pass on the relics of the Holy Maiden, the Eight Heavenly Venerables were in favor of it. In this way, the situation has been pushed to a very unfavorable point!"
"So...... Why doesn't Peony want to see me? You don't seem to have made it clear to me about this. Ning Yue sat up gently, interlocked her fingers and asked lightly.
