Late at night, in a wing room in the courtyard of the Lu family's house, the dim candlelight swayed from time to time, barely bringing a trace of light to this slightly empty house. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The courtyard outside the info room was already kneeling at the moment full of people who had been ordered by Lu Yifan to keep the spirit, and they knelt there for three days without eating or drinking, and nine out of ten of the people were about to be unable to hold on, especially some elderly and frail people who were kneeling there and shaking without stopping, but I was afraid that the divine consciousness was already unclear.

In the room, Ji Yuan leaned against the window like this, watching the situation outside the courtyard tightly through the crack in the window, and his brows had hardly been stretched in the past three days, he had the heart to save those people outside, but he couldn't interfere because he couldn't resist Lu Yifan's insistence.

"Don't kill me...... Please, I didn't doze off, just closed my eyes a little......"

Suddenly, there was a heart-rending wail in the courtyard again, but before the man's voice completely fell, a disciple of the Soul Sect who had already strode forward did not hesitate at all, his eyes glanced at the man coldly, and then the steel knife in his hand suddenly slashed down at the man's neck, only to hear a soft sound of "poof", accompanied by an exclamation from the people around him, the man's head rolled to the ground, and the sound of wailing stopped abruptly. This was the seventh of the evening, and the man's tragic death made the other exhausted people around him suddenly feel smart, and then their sleepy spirits instantly became much more sober.

"Shhh

"Ji Yuan, don't look any further!" Tang Ruoxi, who was sitting in the room, reminded softly, "You can't help them, but watching it like this will only make you more entangled!"

"In the past three days, I have lost count of the first innocent people who have died at our hands!" Ji Yuan slowly withdrew his gaze and closed the window tightly, as if he didn't want to resonate with the outside anymore. When he turned around, his brows were already furrowed, and there was a thick melancholy between his eyebrows, "Hunger and cold have pushed them to the limit, and the next step will only be faster and faster, and more and more deaths!"

"Yes!" Xie Yun leaned on the side of the bed, carrying a wine jug in his hand, and had been drinking wine without a sip, and when he answered Ji Yuan, his tone was surprisingly flat, as if everything that happened outside had nothing to do with him.

At this moment in the room, in addition to Ji Yuan, Tang Ruoxi and Xie Yun, there are Liu Sandao, Qin Qingyu, Chu Ding, Yin Xi, Liu Meng and Wu Mei, as well as Ji Yi'er. Lu Yifan took Lu Jun and Lu Wencai to keep watch in the main hall, and in the entire mansion, only this big house could allow Ji Yuan and them to live temporarily.

"Do you want to watch Yifan kill innocents indiscriminately like this?" Ji Yuan seemed to be angered by Xie Yun's indifferent attitude, his eyes trembled and he stared at the few people in the room, and said in a loud voice with an excited expression, "You know very well that now Yifan has been carried away by anger, and what he has done is definitely not a rational act, why should we continue to be wrong with him like this?"

As soon as Ji Yuan's words came out, Liu Sandao's eyelids twitched slightly, but he didn't answer Ji Yuan's words immediately, but still sat aside with his head down and wiped his moon slashing knife by himself. His brushing was so slow and delicate that the color of the blade became a little glaring under his wiping.

"Ji Yuan, now the room is full of friends who can tell each other frankly, you might as well tell your real concerns, so that we can help you at the right time!" Qin Qingyu said lightly, and when he said this, his eyes inadvertently glanced at Ji Yi'er, who was always sitting silently.

Hearing Qin Qingyu's words, Ji Yuan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he looked at Qin Qingyu with a frown, and asked puzzledly, "My real concerns? What do you mean by this?"

"Ji Yuan!" Tang Ruoxi suddenly spoke, "We can understand your feelings that you are worried that Miss Ji will be implicated because of this! Yifan's temperament has changed greatly because of Lord Lu and Mrs. Lu's affairs, he would never kill innocent people in the past, but now he can desperately use the most cruel means to retaliate against all those involved in this matter, even if he is slightly implicated, it will not escape his anger." So you are worried that Yifan will be angry with her because Miss Ji is a person from Xuanzong, so you will try your best to dissuade Yifan from killing innocents indiscriminately, and even at the expense of confronting Yifan, in fact, the purpose is to protect his sister, we all understand this!"

As soon as Tang Ruoxi's words came out, Ji Yuan and Ji Yi'er were stunned at the same time. Ji Yuan was stunned because his thoughts that he thought he was hiding deeply were actually broken by Tang Ruoxi's words, and then he was a little surprised. And Ji Yi'er's stunned was purely accidental, because she didn't expect Ji Yuan's actions before to avoid being implicated. At that moment, Ji Yi'er's gaze at Ji Yuan also became a little complicated. For her brother, there is actually always an indescribable depression in her heart.

"I ......" Ji Yuan was told by Tang Ruoxi, his expression became a little embarrassed, after hesitating for a moment, his eyes suddenly flashed a look of determination, and then nodded and admitted, "You're right! I tried my best to dissuade Yifan from killing innocents indiscriminately before, it was indeed selfish, after all, Huangzong was Xuanzong's lackey, after all, if there was no Xuanzong's instructions, Huangzong would definitely not be so bold." This matter is actually very easy to figure out, before the Xuan Sect sent people to Xihuang Mountain to win over the Soul Sect, but we unceremoniously refused. Xuanzong held a grudge because of this, so it was reasonable for him to use the hand of the emperor to deal with us. And Yi'er's current identity is still a disciple of Xuanzong, I am indeed worried that Yifan will turn the spearhead to Yi'er, whether it is to deal with Yi'er directly, or to use Yi'er to lead out the emperor, it is not the result that I, as an elder brother, want to see. ”

"The sect master will definitely not be unfavorable to Miss Ji......"

"You listen to me first!" Before Yin Xi could open his mouth to argue, Ji Yuan suddenly stretched out his hand to interrupt, "I did want to protect Yi'er at the beginning, and even now. But as time passed, I saw more and more innocent people dying in front of my eyes, and the bloody corpses lying outside touched my heart all the time, and now I really want to save those people outside. Because, although they turned a blind eye to the tragedy suffered by the Lu family at that time, they were guilty...... But sin doesn't deserve to die!" Kihara's last sentence was particularly firm.

Liu Sandao's action of wiping the knife came to a sudden halt with Ji Yuan's words, but after a pause, Liu Sandao did not raise his head to speak after all, but flipped the moon slashing knife for a moment, and then continued to wipe it.

"Then how do you want to save them?" Wu Mei suddenly asked, "Is it possible to stop the Soul Sect disciples when they attack?"

"I can stop one but not all!" Ji Yuan muttered to himself with a complicated expression, "I can understand Yifan's current mood, because I have also experienced it. But anger doesn't mean he can do whatever he wants, and the ones he now sees as mustard are all living lives? Each of them has his own life, his family, his friends, and his own lifelong love and love for them...... How could he die in vain because of the sins of the Emperor Sect? What if he was the Sect Master of the Soul Sect? What qualifications did he have to take the lives of others at will? What was the difference between what he was doing now and when the Emperor Sect slaughtered the Lu family? In the eyes of these people outside, perhaps Lu Yifan was even more terrible than Huang Xuan, and the Soul Sect was even more hateful than the Emperor Sect! Yifan, because of his anger, his temperament changed drastically, and he embarked on a path that was very wrong and very wrong, and we people must stand up to stop him from continuing to be wrong and stop him from killing innocents indiscriminately! It is better to treat the symptoms than the root cause, and we can only stop this brutal massacre by stopping Yifan!"

"Lu Yifan will never just forget it!" Qin Qingyu looked at Ji Yuan with deep eyes, and said in a solemn tone, "Last time, he didn't directly kill him, but asked these people to guard the spirits and apologize, in fact, he has already given in a few points for you, if you insist on dissuading it again this time, I am afraid that instead of solving the problem you said, it will backfire!"

"That's why I'm telling you this!" Ji Yuan said excitedly, he scanned everyone in the room with a fiery gaze, as if he was looking for someone as determined as himself, "Let's go and persuade him together, we will definitely succeed!"

"Actually......" Xie Yun suddenly opened his mouth slowly after swallowing a sip of wine, "I don't think there is anything wrong with Yifan's current approach, these people outside should be guilty of the same crime as the murderer if they don't save them when they see death, and now not killing them but letting them guard the spirit is actually considered to forgive them!"

"What do you think?" Ji Yuan asked in disbelief, "These people outside are just ordinary people, and it is normal for them not to dare to come forward in the face of the imposing disciples of the Imperial Sect, because at that time, whoever dares to come forward will kill themselves, and they naturally dare not meddle in their affairs if they want to live, so why should you be harsh on them?"

"In that case, then why should we meddle with their affairs now?" Xie Yun asked with a wry smile, "Is it because Yifan is not as imposing as the Emperor?"

"Xie Yun, you are clearly quibbling!" Ji Yuan waved his hand at Xie Yun quite angrily, and simply stopped arguing with him about this issue, but changed the conversation and said urgently, "Even if we don't help those people outside, then we must help Yifan, right? Do we just see Yifan immersed in anger and grief like this? We all know very well that Yifan's heart is good, but now he is doing evil things, should we also turn a deaf ear? Yifan is wrong, should we follow the mistake?"

"Even if we go with you to persuade the sect master, what are you going to do if he doesn't listen to you?" Wu Mei was the first person to be moved by Ji Yuan's words, she stared nervously at Ji Yuan with a pair of shrewd and beautiful eyes, as if she wanted to hear Ji Yuan say a foolproof plan, but what Ji Yuan said next made her and the others in the room startled.

"If Yifan insists on going his own way and does not listen to dissuasion, then we will salute first and then soldier, and force him to stop......"

"Kihara!"

"Whew!"

Just when Ji Yuan's words fell, Liu Sandao suddenly snorted coldly, and at the same time, the long knife that had just been wiped off the ground in his hand also waved suddenly, and the tip of the knife pointed directly at Ji Yuan, and then before everyone could react, Liu Sandao's figure flashed out of the chair like a ghost, leaving a series of afterimages in mid-air, and the extremely cold blade suddenly stuck to Ji Yuan's neck, and Liu Sandao's face full of cold color suddenly appeared in front of Ji Yuan.

In this way, Liu Sandao held the knife with his backhand and pressed the blade tightly against Ji Yuan's neck, while Liu Sandao himself was standing very close to Ji Yuan, the tall Liu Sandao squinted his eyes slightly and looked down at Ji Yuan's eyes, the faces of the two were so close that the tips of their noses were about to stick together, and a depressing atmosphere between the four eyes slowly diffused in the room.

Liu Sandao's actions made everyone in the room stunned for a moment, and Tang Ruoxi, Ji Yi'er, and Wu Mei couldn't help but let out an exclamation. Xie Yun, Qin Qingyu, and Chu Ding subconsciously sat up straight, while Yin Xi and Liu Meng stood up directly, standing there with an embarrassed expression, they wanted to step forward to dissuade them, but they didn't know how to open their mouths.

"Ji Yuan, you'd better retract what you just said!" Liu Sandao stared at Ji Yuan coldly, and said word by word, "If you dare to have a different heart for Yifan, then I, Liu Sandao, will be the first to take your life!"

"Brother Liu, you are foolish!" Ji Yuan was not afraid under Liu Sandao's coercion, he looked directly into Liu Sandao's eyes without hesitation, and said solemnly, "I didn't mean to be bad to Yifan just now, on the contrary, I want to save him! Just because I regard him as a brother in life and death, I can't watch him make mistakes again and again!"

"What is right and what is wrong?" Liu Sandao asked coldly.

"Good is right, evil is wrong!" Ji Yuan's answer was also neither humble nor arrogant, "Grievances are clearly good, and indiscriminate killing of innocents is evil." In the past, Yifan could fight with the beast clan in order to protect the frontier of the holy realm, fight against the royal family in order to protect his beloved, compete with the emperor in order to protect his family, and even avenge Xie Yun for the sake of heavenly justice and brotherhood, and fight against the beast clan Rakshasa Gate for my hatred, all of this I saw in my eyes and remembered it in my heart. And he was right about all this, even if it was to kill people, he was walking for the road. But now if you punish 2,000 innocent people to kneel outside, and kill them if they are not satisfied, this is killing innocents indiscriminately, it is a mistake to defy the condemnation of the world, and it is doing evil things......"

"I don't read much, I don't understand all these big truths you said!" Before Ji Yuan's words fell, Liu Sandao said in a cold voice, "I only know that my Liu Sandao's life is his Lu Yifan's! I will kill whoever he asks me to kill! I will save whoever he asks me to save! I will destroy whoever he asks me to destroy! Whichever city he asks me to slaughter, I will slaughter whichever city! I don't need to know right and wrong, I don't need to distinguish between good and bad, I don't need to distinguish between good and evil, and I don't need any explanation! As long as he wants to, as long as he says a word, my Liu San Dao is the sharpest knife in his Lu Yifan's hand. Liu Sandao's expression was cold and resolute, his words not only shocked Ji Yuan, but also knocked on the hearts of everyone in the room, "What I once said to Yifan, now I will say it again in front of you, I hope you can always remember: If he Lu Yifan is good, then I, Liu Sandao, am the number one good person in the world, saving the people in the world for him, there is no other word!" If he Lu Yifan is evil, then I, Liu Sandao, will be the number one villain in the world, and I will kill all the people he wants to kill for him, and he will not blink an eye, let alone have the slightest softness!"

"You...... What is the relationship with Yifan?" Ji Yuan was deeply shocked by Liu Sandao's words, he never thought that in Liu Sandao's heart, Lu Yifan's status would be so important that it would make him forget himself.

"It's not important!" Liu Sandao lowered his face a few points again, and at this moment Ji Yuan could clearly feel Liu Sandao's snort on his face, "You just need to remember that from now on, don't let me hear anything dissatisfied with Yifan, otherwise don't blame me for Liu Sandao not thinking about friendship!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Just when everyone in the room was deeply shocked by Liu Sandao's words, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the door, and then only one Soul Sect disciple said respectfully: "Master Liu, Sect Master, please go over now!"

"Got it!"

Liu Sandao agreed lightly, and then he took a deep look at Ji Yuan, who was still immersed in confusion, and then he turned his hand and put the long knife into the sheath, and walked quickly towards the door directly bypassing Ji Yuan, and finally disappeared outside the room without looking back, leaving only everyone in the room looking at each other.

At this moment, it was already the darkest hour before dawn.
