When Shen Zhiping walked out of the room, his mood was complicated. It is gratifying that Li Zifeng has not been completely decadent, and it is sad that the master-apprentice relationship between him and Ouyang Ze seems to be difficult to repair. Shen Zhiping sighed heavily.

Ouyang Ze saw Shen Zhiping's expression from a distance, thinking that Li Zifeng's situation was not very good, so he hurriedly walked up and asked anxiously, "How is it? Is he okay? Is there something ......wrong with it?"

Shen Zhiping looked straight at Ouyang Ze, thinking back to Li Zifeng's injury and bedridden, he couldn't help but complain about Ouyang Ze in his heart, and his tone was a little unkind, "If I can't see you, everything will be fine for him." ”

The birds outside the window fluttered their wings and flew by, making strange calls, circling and gradually moving away, as if expressing some kind of dissatisfaction, Ouyang Ze smiled bitterly, picked up the hot tea sent by the waiter and took a sip, the favorite cloud tea before the rain on weekdays, now that it is drunk, it seems to have lost its taste.

Ouyang Ze suddenly stared at Shen Zhiping, as if he had figured out something, and showed a strange smile, "With the means of junior brother, there is a way to interrogate this person, why send it to me?"

Shen Zhiping didn't hide it, and replied truthfully, "It's still the senior brother in charge who understands." ”

Ouyang Ze didn't speak, just looked at Shen Zhiping silently, waiting for Shen Zhiping's next words, who knows, Shen Zhiping's next words really made him unexpected...

Shen Zhiping chuckled, and a hint of playfulness appeared on his face, "Zifeng is a good disciple, it's a pity that you are so wasted, it just so happens that I am also short of manpower, why don't I take Zifeng back to Yeyang City and let him be my disciple of Qingsong Hall, I don't know what the senior brother in charge thinks?"

Ouyang Ze stared at Shen Zhiping deadly, his eyes burning, as if he was going to eat him. Shen Zhiping raised his eyebrows, "What is the senior brother in charge doing looking at me like this? I won't treat him badly." ”

Speaking of the word 'mistreatment', Ouyang Ze lost his mind instantly, if he said disadvantage, the culprit should be him Ouyang Ze, so many years of doubt and torture, but it was all the demons in his heart... In the end, I was too wrong.

Shen Zhiping saw Ouyang Ze's dejected expression, and he had no intention of joking anymore, so he only sighed silently and said, "Traumatic injuries are easy to treat, heart disease is difficult to treat, don't force him anymore, the matter of Hongyuan Villa still needs to be natural." ”

"I understand. Ouyang Ze sighed helplessly.

That's enough, Shen Zhiping smiled, "As soon as I go back to the mountain, I will come here to talk to the senior brother in charge, and the master didn't go to visit, so I went over to say hello first." The senior brother in charge is busy first. Shen Zhiping arched his hand and prepared to leave.

Ouyang Ze nodded, and immediately summoned the attendant disciples to send Shen Zhiping out. Not long after Shen Zhiping left, Mo Xuan replied and said that Elder Solemn Hai Yi asked to see him.

Ouyang Ze smiled bitterly, for the senior brother, Ouyang Ze couldn't understand it anymore, since he was a child, every time he made a mistake, he always had to come over to 'preach' until he understood, this time, I am afraid it was for Li Zifeng! Ouyang Ze wanted to refuse, but it was not good after all.

After coming back to his senses, he instructed Mo Xuan, "Please come in." ”

"Yes. Mo Xuan was ordered to retreat.

The study room once again floated with the fragrance of tea, but Ouyang Ze really didn't have any appetite, because the senior brother Hai Yi had a calm face as soon as he entered the door, and he didn't speak silently, just drank tea in one gulp and succeeded the head for many years, but as long as he saw Hai Yi's calm face, he was still uneasy in his heart.

But it was not good to be silent all the time, so he asked, "Senior brother has something to say, if you come for Zifeng, I will ...... too."

Hai Yi finally put down the teacup, stared at Ouyang Ze carefully, and sighed for a long time before saying, "I dare to ask, in the heart of the master, what do you think of Hongyuan Villa?

"I..." Ouyang Ze opened his mouth, unable to say anything.

Haiyi continued, "There is one thing that I have always hidden in my heart and not said. It's because I wouldn't have thought that the relationship between you and Zifeng would come to this point, let alone that you would become more and more paranoid. ”

Ouyang Ze raised his eyebrows, and looked at Hai Yi with an inquiring gaze, "What words?"

"Actually, it was an incident that Zifeng confessed four years ago......"

【Memories】

On a spring day four years ago, it was warm and cold, and the cold atmosphere in the dungeon was unabated, Hai Yi stood silently in the dungeon torture chamber and waited, standing with his back to the door. The figure line under the dim light, pulling out a long shadow.

There was a heavy sound of shackles behind him, Li Zifeng walked in under the escort of two strong men, Hai Yi turned around, and after explaining the reason, he ordered the attendant disciples of the Law Ring Hall to remove the shackles for Li Zifeng, change into clean clothes, and take him out, walk out of the dungeon, and prepare to go straight to Shang Qingyuan to meet Ouyang Ze.

"Elder. Just as he was about to step out of the prison door, Li Zifeng suddenly remembered something and hurriedly called Haiyi.

Haiyi also stopped, turned sideways and looked at him deeply, "What else do you have to say?"

Li Zifeng hesitated, "There are some things that the disciple wants to say to you alone." ”

After finding a fairly tidy room, Hai Yiping retreated, and Li Zifeng said, "A few months ago, the emperor secretly came to the Hengshan faction to talk to the head of the family for the prince, right?"

Hai Yi might as well Li Zifeng said this, of course he knew, in fact, Emperor Zhu Xingzhan secretly came here early that morning, and he began to arrange some matters to meet Ouyang Ze, and then responded, "I know." ”

Li Zifeng breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "That night, the head of the sect arranged for the disciple to be on duty at night, and by chance, the emperor let the disciple into the room to speak. ”

Hai Yi frowned and stared at Li Zifeng tightly, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Li Zifeng continued to say to himself, "The emperor's grace allowed the disciple to come into the room to speak, maybe he said it well, and the next morning, the emperor also made a promise to the disciple." ”

Hai Yi looked at Li Zifeng silently, waiting for him to continue.

All this was too sudden, the disciple didn't think about anything at that time, so he dared to ask the emperor to say that he would bring it up after thinking about it later, and the emperor agreed. ”

Hai Yi suddenly realized, "You mean?" For a moment, Hai Yi thought that Li Zifeng was going to exonerate himself.

Li Zifeng shook his head, "The disciples are inextricably linked with Hongyuan Villa, and the children of various families are afraid that they will also put pressure on the head to explain." It is not a pity for the disciple to die. But if the entire sect is affected because of this incident, the disciple will be unable to escape the blame. ”

Hai Yi finally understood Li Zifeng's intentions, "Do you want to use the emperor's promise to you?"

"Yes. The disciple doesn't want to involve the entire sect because of his own background deception and a little selfishness towards Hongyuan Villa, if the above blames him for the disciple's affairs, please say this promise. Emperor Chrysostom said that he would ensure that the sect was safe. With that, Li Zifeng knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply to Haiyi.

There was a wave in Hai Yi's heart, when he was in prison and could not protect himself, the first thing he thought of was not himself, but the safety of the entire sect, and he was worthy of being the chief disciple, although it was only once. At this point, his suspicion that Li Zifeng and Hongyuan Villa colluded with Lingye Palace has been reduced by half!

came back to his senses, picked up Li Zifeng, and smiled with relief, "Don't worry, but if your worries don't exist, this secret will only be kept in your heart." ”

Li Zifeng exhaled a long breath, finally relieved his heart, and bowed again, "Thank you, Elder." ”

[End of memory]

The senior brother of the Hengshan faction, who has seen too many storms, finally couldn't help but break the agreement, and Ouyang Ze listened to it, and he couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes anymore, for so many years, he couldn't untie the knot, just because Li Zifeng was the son of an enemy, he kept harshly scolding him, forcing him to show his attitude, forcing him to make a choice between the sect and Hongyuan Villa, it turned out that as early as then, he had already made his attitude!

It turned out that in the whole thing, the most confused thing was himself! his paranoia and demons completely ruined his relationship with Li Zifeng, Ouyang Ze was annoyed, raised his hand, and slapped himself fiercely!
