Accusations from relatives are always more powerful than the invectives of enemies.

This is also a common principle in officialdom, no matter how bad the attacks of political opponents are, they are often not painful, but two or three sentences of testimony from a confidant are enough to make a senior official never recover.

Listening to Zhao Zhang's narration, Sui Zaihua looked at the men and women on the field, his expression gradually drooped, and he looked at Shang Huaitong calmly. Obviously, this matter has become more cautious in the old man's heart.

Just as Luo Defeng had worried before, there was no need for evidence in the matter of reputation, as long as the old man was biased to believe in his heart, Shang Huai's path to the Sword Academy would add countless new reviews and difficulties.

Can they get through it one by one, and do they have that time?

Tianshan Cuiyu pressed down, and everything was negative.

Sui Zaihua looked at Shang Huaitong: "What do you have to say?" ”

Shang Huaitong's face was already a little pale just now, but at this time it was even whiter, he clenched his fists and said in a low voice: "My lord, my relatives betrayed, I have nothing to say." But things won't change by changing your mouth, and I still ask you to be aware of it, and I have no motive to kill them. ”

Sui Zaihua was silent for a moment and looked at the woman: "It's true, everyone didn't believe in this matter just now, and Shang Huaitong also said that his motives didn't make sense, this is in the past, so I don't doubt him; Now that you speak, everyone tends to believe it again, and I think maybe it's really boring. However, the key point is still unclear - as far as you can see, why did Shang Huaitong want to harm these two people? ”

Qi Zhaohua said: "Please know that this person will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, and he is by no means a bad person who takes the wrong path - the two are rivals for winning the championship, and Zhang Junyu loves and trusts him with all his heart, and for him, the condition for doing evil is the reason for doing evil." ”

"So, Zhaohua," Shang Huaitong suddenly looked at the woman, and said in a low voice, "Why don't I harm Bai Yuliang?" ”

"Bai Gongzi is a leader in Cuiyu, so it is naturally difficult to start."

“.” Shang Huaitong suddenly laughed at himself, "Really? You've been. Think the same way? ”

Qi Zhaohua was slightly stunned.

She suddenly remembered the man's sentence "I have been misunderstood for a long time" when they just separated.

That should be the true trace of his heart, and it should be the answer to this question.

But her heart-to-heart for men was supposed to be a performance.

"You don't think I have the absolute confidence to win in the ring, and I'm worried that the leader will fall into the hands of others, so I want to kill all three, don't you? It's just that the environment is limited, so only the two of them were harmed, and in the end, they really failed to beat Bai Yuliang Hehe, he is really an ugly gutless rat. Shang Huaitong looked at the woman and said softly, "If I knew that I was like this in your eyes, how could I believe that you have any feelings for me?" ”

Qi Zhaohua was silent for a while - of course she thought so, if it was not Gu Guang who liked Zhang Junyu, but Bai Yuliang, would Shang Huaitong let him go?

But there's no chance.

This is also the consensus of everyone, Pei Li, Li Wuqing, and Bai Sibing, everyone who has seen the pus under Shang Huaitong, thinks that he is a venomous snake and rat who cannot see the light, and always uses venomous means to remove obstacles, and then sells his reputation with ridiculous performances.

But after Pei Ye said this, he did feel that something was wrong, because he suddenly remembered that if there was no matter of Tianshan, Qijiao would not have the intention of attacking Li Yiqing.

He looked at the field, Shang Huaitong had turned to the east field, straightened up and clasped his fists and saluted: "My lord, my defense is very simple-I didn't hurt Bai Yuliang, just because I never wanted to hurt him, just as I didn't and never wanted to hurt Zhang and Gu." Because I firmly believe that everything I want can be obtained with the sword in my hand. ”

Sui Zaihua looked at him: "How can it be proven?" ”

Shang Huaitong raised his head calmly: "Please, Jian Xinzhao." ”

The old man raised his eyebrows slightly.

The commotion on the field suddenly fell silent.

Since Shang Huaitong came to power, amazing things have happened one after another, and people have long forgotten that there is such a magic weapon on the field, and they have forgotten that they were waiting with anticrative expectations to see the mental realm of this Bowang No. 1 just now.

Just now, the man didn't satisfy everyone's curiosity at all, and walked straight to the old man, and only with some questions and answers and sword tests, he exceeded the standards of the Sword Cultivation Academy. Now that the center of the incident is no longer here, the man suddenly returns to this section.

Sui Zaihua stretched out his hand and motioned for him to take care of himself.

Li Yiqing frowned a little again, she looked at "Zhuge Liang" next to her, and saw that the young man's eyes also moved off the page and looked at the field.

"What does he mean?" The girl said.

Pei Li was silent.

Among the eyes of hundreds of people, Shang Huaitong had come to the small mirror, he looked at the glasses, and then looked around, flowing from everyone one by one: Qi Zhaohua, Zhang Mozhu, Fang Jidao, Li Yiqing, Pei Li. and countless people who stared at him in anticipation of his failure.

He gave a gentle smile and reached for it.

The familiar picture appeared again, and under the urging of true qi, the jade slowly flowed, and then, completely caught off guard, the audience burst out of a short exclamation in their throats.

Li Yiqing grabbed Pei Li's arm violently.

Pei Ye was motionless, he saw himself from another angle.

It was as if dozens or hundreds of rays of light pierced through the clouds, and the entire mirror was illuminated into a brilliant sun wheel, without any variegation or shadow.

【Hold the Heart】

The second mind, or the only one that Bowang holds.

Countless people were stunned, and then, the strange change happened on the mirror again, and the frame of the mirror turned into a black stream and suddenly enveloped it.

But in the confrontation with the Japanese wheel, another new manifestation appeared.

I saw that the black current suddenly surged onto the mirror, and then slowly eroded, climbing from the center in all directions, and the white sun pierced the black matter with various dazzling lights. But in the end, the substantia nigra still occupies more and more, and soon it will engulf the entire small mirror. Just when everyone thought that this would be a [Junyu] or [Xiangjing], they realized again that something was wrong—the black matter completely stopped.

It was only a little the size of a fingernail from the center of the submersion, but the erosion of the black matter could no longer be advanced, and finally it was completely still, and the pearl of rice in the center of the mirror radiated a dazzling brilliance.

There was silence on the field.

I only heard Sui Zaihua's voice and said slowly: "Hold your heart and don't invade." ”

There was still no sound.

Qi Zhaohua looked at the mirror, his fist-clenched nails slowly sank into the flesh, Bai Sibing's face sank like water, and countless people watched this scene speechlessly.

Under the tree, facing the girl's solemn gaze, Pei Ye said softly: "He really never thought of killing Bai Yuliang, just as he never thought of killing you." ”

Yes, a narrow-minded, arrogant and jealous, dirty and poisonous. A villain who is almost good-for-nothing, when he looks at himself late at night, he looks down on himself. So where does that arrogance and confidence come from? Why does he think so highly of himself?

It was the sword in his hand.

Bowang kendo first, sword academy seeds, self-created swordsmanship. None of it was false, it was a kendo that he could be proud of, and he regarded it as his life, revered it as a holy, had a resolute confidence in it, and absolutely did not want to be tarnished in the slightest.

He was truly a villain, wielding a sword that would make him stand out from everything. This is the part he is most proud of, making him stand above everyone in Bowang, he can still talk and laugh freely when the Seven Jiao collapses, and his eyes are blazing when he sees the same amazing swordsmanship, even if he is suddenly betrayed by Qi Zhaohua, he does not panic.

He didn't make a move against Bai Yuliang at the time of Dongbi, because he really wanted to defeat him under the sword in the ring, they were mentioned as Junjie, and he had long hated this name in his heart.

He used vicious means to get rid of Zhang and Gu, even if he thought that Zhang Junyu had little chance of defeating him; But he never thought of escaping a fair win with another swordsman, even though Bai Yuliang might have studied Yellow Jade.

However, that year, Bai Yuliang was promoted to the sixth life, and Shang Huaitong was not defeated in the sword, but in cultivation. When he advanced to the sixth life and created swordsmanship, Bai Yuliang had been killed by the Soul Reager, and he had to vent his anger with his corpse.

So when Li Yiqing performed that he had advanced to the sixth life and learned Huang Jade, he didn't plan to do anything to her.

Isn't it just the blood of the sword?

He will erase any threat, but there is only a fight on the sword, and he will win it with dignity.

Pei Ye remembered the fiery gaze he had at him, a look that needed to be proven urgently.

On the field, Shang Huaitong opened his eyes and moved his hand away from the mirror.

He has been misunderstood for too long, and he has been depressed for too long. He didn't mind that these people who saw through him saw him as a vicious snake and poisonous fly, but he couldn't tolerate them thinking that he didn't dare to confront Bai Yuliang head-on, so he could only kill him by secret means.

No one wants him to be alive more than he is! If he dares to live to Qiubi, he will depose him in the ring!

So, the first time he opened his eyes, Shang Huaitong didn't look at the old man, nor did he look at Qi Zhaohua. He turned his head in the direction of Cui Yu, looked at the young man sitting in the shadow of the tree, and showed a provocative smile.

Who will I be used to bathe this reproach?

————————————

Shang Huaitong didn't have to make any verbal defenses for himself, and the light of the mirror hadn't completely dissipated.

Be mindful and certainly not afraid of any challenge in the ring.

Of course, he didn't want to use any means against Bai Yuliang at all, so there was no reason to hurt Zhang Junyu and Gu Guang. It was a pole strong enough to lift him back from the abyss.

In an instant, Qi Zhaohua's oath seemed to be quite suspicious.

Things are at an impasse, and their reasons are strong enough, but neither is so unassailable.

"You are a sharp and poisonous seedling, and there are many suspicious points on you, I will not recruit you. Maybe you are wronged, then take Qiu Kui, and then come to the Sword Academy to be tested again according to the regulations. Sui Zaihua finally looked at Shang Huaitong and said.

Now that the sun is about to set, the old man who coexisted with power and harmony shook his clothes and stood up, and bowed to Pei Ye: "I'll go to the state government to wait for you." ”

Pei Ye hurriedly got up and saluted.

On the field, in silence, Qi Zhaohua walked over to Cuiyu, Shang Huai went back to Qijiao, and neither of them returned to the literary field, as if they were completely strangers, there was no dialogue, and they didn't even collide with each other.

The poetry meeting ended here, but there are still many interesting activities behind, such as watching dances and singing, fishing and painting, especially the comfortable banquet and night drinking.

Under the tree, Li Yiqing orthodox Pei Ye poured his true qi into it to smooth out his wrinkled clothes, Qi Zhaohua walked over, Pei Ye pointed at the blanket and smiled: "Okay, I don't need to make room for you now, I'll give you this piece." ”

"Thank you Pei Shaoxia and Shao Zhang." Qi Zhaohua smiled, "But it's too generous, can I sit alone in a place where two people are sitting?" ”

"Nope." Pei Ye pulled the scholar next to him who wanted to stop talking and pressed it on the blanket, "You sit on the ethereal side, my place is for Brother Fang." ”

"Huh? Me, I"

Qi Zhaohua smiled helplessly.

Pei Ye hugged everyone: "I'll go to see Lord Sui with Miaoqing, and come back to play in the evening." ”

Everyone smiled and nodded, Cui Xiaoyan's head suddenly poked out, and shouted, "Earlier! ”

Pei Ye pressed him back, and when he came back, he whispered to Qi Zhaohua: "Don't be alone, stay with people." ”

Qi Zhaohua was stunned and nodded.

Fang Jidao heard this, and as soon as he raised his head and wanted to say something, Pei Ye glanced at him and added, "It doesn't count with him." ”

“.” Fang Jidao looked at him with a suffocating face.

"Look, what's the use of you two staying together? That's called Falling Double. ”

——

State government.

When the two came to the door, Pei Ye turned his head and explained, "You sit here first, and I'll call you in when I find a chance." ”

Li Yiqing nodded.

Following the instructions of the clerk to the library, Pei Ye knocked lightly on the door, and a voice came from inside: "Come in." ”

Pei Ye walked in, closed the door behind him, and looked at it, there were many scrolls here, and the books and ink were fragrant, but the old man did not shuttle through it, but stood in front of a wall, looking up.

Pei Ye looked at it at a glance, and was immediately attracted to it - without him, there were dozens of swords of all kinds hanging on this wall, and at a glance, it was simply dazzling.

The old man stood under this sword wall, dressed in black, hanging like a shuttle, with his pale hair tied up on it, and when he raised his head, the ends of his hair had just touched the back of his heart.

"Your stabbing swords are horizontal or not, and the collected swords are really interesting." Sui Zaihua chuckled.

Pei Ye stepped forward to look at it, and couldn't help but open his mouth slightly.

Although none of them are unsheathed, the temperament revealed on the handle is already extraordinary, and every one of them looks like a rare good sword. Pei Ye looked down at the long sword in his hand that he had won from the Fenghuai Mid-Autumn Festival, although he was still familiar with it, and the blade was as sharp as before, it looked a little dull and rustic at this time.

"Come and see, which is the best?" Sui Zaihua looked back at him with a smile.

"Huh?" Pei Ye swept over the wall, momentarily stunned.

To tell the truth, it's not that he doesn't have the ability to distinguish between good and bad sword weapons, but that's limited to the feel of fighting with enemy weapons and cutting flesh and bones.

He looked at Sui Zaihua, suspecting that this adult had the kind of habit of deliberately playing tricks on children, and he was treating a seventeen-year-old boy as a child.

"Oh? Can't guess? Sui Zaihua smiled, "I'll point it to you, the third from the right, you see." ”

Pei Ye looked at it, but he was really a little surprised - this scabbard full of walls, there are many unique, there are pure wood carvings, there are green bamboos that do not lose color, and there are gold wrapped in silk, only this handle looks very "normal", neither pretending to be simple, nor doing much carving.

So he came to his senses.

"Do you know why?" The old man laughed.

Pei Li said solemnly: "Because this is a real sword that can be battled. ”

Sui Zaihua was stunned: "."

“.”

You don't have to squander your skills in the chat." Sui Zaihua pointed to the top of the hilt and the scabbard, "It's because there is the inscription of the East China Sea Sword Furnace here." ”

"Oh."
