Chapter 318: His Punishment
Ten miles outside Zhiyun City, on the black stone cliff, because the sound of the flute disappeared, the man who was playing the guqin also stopped playing.
"Have you finally given up on the futile pursuit?" he murmured, his words faintly regretful to him that he was not even aware of.
Perhaps she realized the huge difference from her master and was ashamed of herself, so she chose to give up. β
A young girl in a blue gauze skirt behind him said cautiously, but the man raised his hand impatiently.
"Don't speak, I'm looking for her location. β
"The slave and the maid have trespassed. The maid said cautiously and retreated from the group.
The man plucked the strings again, and the sound of the piano flowed from his fingertips, but although the sound was beautiful, it was a little inferior to his hand.
His hands are extremely beautiful, although he is a man, his lines are smoother and more delicate than that of women, and the dark black clothes that will make people look cold and unapproachable, lining his white jade-like skin, but also add a bit of charm to the temperament.
Perhaps the word "stunning" was coined to describe him.
On his knees, there was a vermilion lyre, and no one dared to believe that the touching music could flow from the strings of this guqin, which was even a little rough and uneven on the surface, it was not a master's work, and it was less worthy of a person who played the piano than its sound.
"I wanted to find her, and the sound of her flute made me feel special. The man in black hooked the strings a few more times, and although the music was high-pitched and tactful, it was inexplicably a little restless and disgusting.
The maid who had just spoken took a step forward and said carefully: "I am afraid that she may not be willing to become the slave of her master." β
The man in black smiled when he heard this.
"I don't want to turn her into a blood slave like you, I want a living person who can play music with my feelings. β
But if the master does this, the Lord will be angry. The maid reminded in a low voice, "The lord sent the master here in the hope that the master would cut off the last trace of concern here, if the master insists on bringing this person back, wouldn't it just stab the lord's unhappiness?"
"My father wanted me to ...... Personally...... Cut off the last trace of care......"
In a low voice, the man's expression was a little dissatisfied, his sleeves flew, and the guqin flew out.
"I have broken off my love according to his will, and even he is not qualified to command me at will! You are just a slave, what right do you have to command me!"
The maid, who realized that she was not careful in speaking, was so frightened that she immediately knelt down and said, "The slave and maid made careless words, and asked the master to atone for his sins!"
The man in black ignored her humility, he stood on the black stone cliff, looked at the bustling Weaving Cloud City, and said, "Jing'er, you once loved me, can you tell me, why you have broken off love, but you still have a special feeling for the sound of the flute?"
Hearing this, the blood slave known as Jing'er walked out of the group, brushed past the prostrate begging for forgiveness, and walked to his master's side.
"Because the person who played the flute used to be the master's concern, so even if you have broken off love, you will still have a familiar feeling with her. β
"Is it familiar?" the man in black narrowed his eyes.
He does have some special memories in his heart, but all the memories that are marked as special are vague without exception, only vaguely remembering the contours of his face, unable to remember names, and the details of getting along.
"It's a pity that I can't remember any parts of her anymore. He said sadly.
When Jing'er heard this, she didn't have emotional ups and downs, she just glanced sideways at the woman who was still kneeling behind her, and said: "Sister Xingnu is an old man who serves her master, and she is also the leader of the blood slave assigned by the master. β
The man in black snorted and said, "She only has her father in her eyes without me, and this incident is just a small punishment and a big commandment! If you dare to speak for her next time, I will not miss the old feelings and pinch you to kill you!"
Jing'er listened to this tone and knew that although he was angry in his heart, he didn't plan to pursue it, so he hurriedly hinted to the star slave to say something soft and begging in exchange for his master's forgiveness.
It's a pity that the star slave is too angry, and he even spoke out again!
"The slave is just a blood slave, and she does not dare to disobey her master. The master can break off love without the slightest respect for the master, but just as the master can easily kill the slave and maid, the master is also ......"
"Star slave, you-" Jing'er was in a hurry, she knew that the master was the master's own flesh and blood, but since the official break off love, it was only the master who thought of the father-son relationship, and the master hated to be mentioned to this layer the most!
Xingnu raised his head and looked at Li Yeyin stubbornly.
The latter glanced at her, his fingers moved slightly, and with a bang, there were a few more touches of gold in the air, slowly wrapping the body of the star slave.
β...... Master, you ......" The star slave who had just been stubborn suddenly turned pale.
Li Yeyin said coldly: "You are my father's slave, not my slave, I don't like the people around me thinking about others." β
"Butβthe master ......."
Jing'er is in a hurry, the master will not ask the master for the matter of the star slaves, but they are blood slaves at the same time, but they cannot escape accountability.
Li Yeyin looked at the blood slaves who were worried about the matter of the star slaves, and said, "I know that many of you disobey me, thinking that everything I have is only because of my identity. I don't want to explain this and I don't blame you. You are only blood slaves, and it is in your nature to obey the strong. But since I have been appointed by my father to serve me, you must remember that I am your master, your only master. If you want to meet two masters at the same time, or repeatedly mention the other in front of me, she ...... It's your example!"
In the words, the grace and power were combined, and the shock made all the girls lose their faces, and they knelt down.
The star slave was quickly turned into a cloud of blood mist by the ejected gold, and Li Yeyin pointed out the two of them from the team, ordered them to stand side by side with Jing'er in front of him, and said, "The three of you are either somewhat involved in my past, or have followed me a long time ago, and you are all loyal to me. Now that I have killed the Star Slave, her blood and soul cannot be wasted, so I will reward you. β
"Thank you for the master's reward!
When the three girls heard this, they were overjoyed, and stepped into the blood mist transformed by the star slave's body, breathing greedily. The blood flowed down their noses, mouths, and even the pores of their bodies, but in an instant, most of the blood mist faded away, revealing their radiant faces that had been moisturized.
"Good. Li Yeyin said softly, his slightly cold eyes sweeping over the rest of the blood slaves.
"Loyalty, strength, two hearts, soul broken! There is no middle ground!"
When the blood slaves heard this, their hearts trembled, and they could not resist this temptation, but the price of receiving the reward was just as direct.
In the end, they also chose allegiance.
"Slaves and maids must look at their masters and horses, and dare not have the slightest evil thoughts!"
This time, the corners of Li Yeyin's mouth finally showed a faint smile.
"Do you know who is the master now?"
"Slaves don't dare!"
The girls spoke in unison, and their words could not hide their fear.
......
......
Since it is a two-city covenant with double cultivation as a means, the day when the ceremony is officially held is naturally cumbersome and extraordinary.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the best opportunity for the two powerful people in the Northern Regions to show their strength, just the rare flowers used for decoration, the golden bamboo of the spirit gathering make the messengers of ordinary sects dazzled, if you look at it carefully, you will find that there is no place in the entire morning and dusk hall that is not luxurious, even the blankets on the floor are woven with an inch of gold ice silk, the futon is integrated into the precious spirit drawing formation, and the drinks and dishes for hospitality are all of the highest quality.
It can be said that all the VIPs who were fortunate enough to participate in this double cultivation ceremony, even if they were mentally prepared, when they walked into the venue, they were still shocked by the undisguised extravagance and luxury of Zhiyun City and Sifang City.
And that's just the most superficial decoration.
In order to ensure the safety during the ceremony, the Sifang City alone dispatched more than 200 Jindan monks, as well as more than a dozen Yuan Infants, and there were even rumors that a certain great power of the Tribulation Period in Sifang City would also come to the scene, called congratulations, in fact, to suppress those who were about to move!
Of course, no matter how much preparation Sifang City and Weaving Cloud City have made for today, if an accident is going to happen, it will always happen.
When Li Yunuan was waiting for auspiciousness with the Yanyun Fairy in the side hall of the Twilight Palace, he felt a nameless sense of tension.
Something unexpected seems to be about to happen.
"Why is Sister Yunuan in a trance?" Discovering Li Yunuan's fugue overseas, Fairy Yanyun asked indifferently.
Li Yunuan said: "I don't know why, I always feel that something bad will happen soon." Hopefully, I'm overhearted. β
Fairy Yanyun said: "You don't have much heart, this arrangement can be described as foolproof, but this foolproof is the most terrifying." Because everything is arranged, there is a mistake in any link...... It's possible to collapse all......"
β...... There are so many masters guarding the scene, presumably even if something goes wrongβ" Li Yunuan said with relief.
Fairy Smoke Cloud smiled: "I won't mind what happens today, because even if the worst happens, the trend of the alliance between the two cities will not change." Even I wish something would happen today...... So that we can catch those dark ghosts hiding in the depths!"
"I see. Li Yunuan suddenly realized.
The alliance between the two cities is really not necessary in the name of double cultivation, and such a big scene is put on.
-- Weaving Cloud City is a daughter country, and the city lord takes the lead in violating the rules and cultivating with others, which will definitely cause a huge backlash.
Li Yunuan knew that the Yanyun Fairy was intelligent, and she was also curious about why she did such an unwise thing, but now after listening to the explanation, she realized that the Yanyun Fairy had far-reaching intentions.
The real purpose of deliberately making a decision that defies the world's condemnation is to make all those opposing forces jump out and wipe them out!
In this way, it will naturally be much easier for the two cities to talk about cooperation again.
"My sister thinks far-reaching, but I'm afraid of them...... This time, he will do whatever it takes, even resorting to shady tricks......" Li Yunuan said cautiously.
Fairy Yanyun said: "I have been able to sit firmly in the position of the city lord for five hundred years, and it is not all luck that I rely on! Not to mention that this time Ouyang Zhenming also promised to help me with all his might! Although he is shameless, he has always kept his promises, and I have always been relieved to cooperate with him." β
"But I'm still afraidβ" Li Yunuan said again.
Fairy Yanyun smiled: "If I don't have the courage to fight the tiger, why should I sit in the position of the city lord?"
