Chapter 68: Excuses
"Senior brother..."
Although the names are different, when this sound is exhaled, Shen Yi and Zhang Yi are equally sad.
"You and Senior Brother go ahead, and I'll just hold the cave master alone. ”
Ding Ning tried his best to calm his tone, but the movements of his hands still showed that his mood at this time was too different from usual-he almost squeezed Shen Yi away a little arrogantly, letting Shen Yi and Zhang Yi walk in front.
"I'm sorry. ”
Ding Ning spit out a sentence softly, this sentence was not said to Shen Yi, but to Xue Wuxu who was standing on his own.
Xue Wangxu looked at Ding Ning with a wry smile and said, "I fought so hard that I was about to lose my life, and I was sorry to say sorry?"
Ding Ning's Adam's apple moved slightly, as if he was swallowing something with difficulty.
He was silent for a few breaths, then looked up at Zhang Yi and Shen Yi, whose backs were still trembling in front of him, and finally made up his mind, suppressed his voice to a very low level, and said, "Do you remember that after I came back from Wushan, I asked the question of whether you want to continue to live? ”
Xue Wangxu's pupils didn't have much brilliance in their eyes, and they were already extremely peaceful, like a pool of turbid stagnant water, but just when Ding Ning said this, thousands of turbulent waves suddenly rolled up in the depths of his pupils.
His heart was beating violently as if it had been completely rejuvenated, and the incomparable shock continued to press into all parts of his body.
This shock was even stronger than when he had just broken through the Seven Realms and felt the difference between the Seven Realms and the Six Realms.
"So this is...?"
He felt the countless traces of vitality pouring into his body, felt the end of the wisps of vitality, raised his head with difficulty, and looked at Ding Ning.
Ding Ning nodded.
"So you are..."
Xue Wangxu looked at Ding Ning's solemn eyebrows, but he felt more and more unreal and ridiculous in his heart.
Countless memories and pictures rushed into his mind strongly, like countless overlapping time and space, making him completely lose his ability to think for a while, but the changes in the depths of his body made him quickly wake up.
"No, I can't. ”
He shook his head and said softly, "No point. ”
Ding Ning was silent for a moment, he wanted to speak.
However, Xue Wangxu looked at him and continued to whisper: "What I said is meaningless, it doesn't mean that after you let me survive, can we survive the Minshan Sword Society, can we escape... I know that if you make such a decision, you may be able to escape. ”
Ding Ning's lips pursed hard, and he remained silent.
Xue Wangxu looked at him with emotion, his eyes became extremely complicated: "I never thought that you would be his heir, I never thought that such a thing would happen, even if someone else put forward such an assumption to me before, let me imagine what kind of mood I would be after such a thing happened, I definitely can't imagine it." However, when something like this happened in front of me, I was shocked and the first thing that came to mind was what I should do.
"After all, I am a Qin person, after all, I am loyal to the Holy Lord, no matter how many unsightly measures the Holy Lord took when he seized the throne, he is still a satisfactory emperor." Xue Wangxu smiled bitterly, "You want me to live and show your true skills, you have made the most important decision, and for me, this decision is also extremely important. ”
"I don't know what you'll do in the future, I'm a Qin person after all... So in the end, my decision was to have to help both sides. ”
"When you came back from Wushan earlier, I told you that life and death are fateful. ”
Xue Wangxuan was a little panting and a little weak, but he still insisted on raising his head to look at Ding Ning and said, "If I die here, it will be my life, but you can fight." "Don't help each other?"
Ding Ning, who had been pursing his lips and was silent, laughed dismally and said, "Old man, why do you have to make such an excuse for me?"
"Don't forget to promise me the scenery. ”
Xue Wangxu laughed, without arguing with Ding Ning, his eyes were a little reluctant, but they became softer and calmer, "If it's possible, get the first place for the Aries Cave." ”
Ding Ning took a deep breath and said slowly: "I can't see it, is there any meaning?"
"Makes sense. ”
Xue Wangfu nodded effortlessly: "Since you have such an identity, as long as you accept it, I think you can do it, just imagining the scene at that time, I am very happy." ”
Ding Ning was silent again.
"It's fate. ”
"I had the fortune to meet his descendants in the Aries Cave, which has made me feel the wonder of life and feel honored. ”
Xue Wangxu looked at him calmly and said, "So you don't have any difficult choice now. ”
"For life and death, it has always been easy for oneself to choose, but it is difficult for others to choose. ”
Ding Ning lowered his head and said slowly.
At the same time as he said this, the countless invisible silk threads that poured into Xue Wangxu's body began to retract.
Great pain began to fill Ding Ning's body.
Xue Wangxuan was even weaker, and he felt that his body was constantly sinking, but he still smiled and patted Ding Ning's back.
......
Behind the Qingyu Mountain Gate of the Minshan Sword Sect, the vast majority of the students had already gathered in front of the mountain road facing the mountain gate.
This mountain path leads straight up to the top of the skyscraper, and although the sword intent is so dazzling that it is impossible to see what the high place is like, it feels like a sword mark slashing straight from the top of the peak in the clouds to the bottom.
The mountain road is all paved with jasper, and there is no trace of variegated color on the surface, and the luxury of the materials is unimaginable in the world.
In front of the trail is an open space with many ritual utensils.
On one side of the mountain road, as far as anyone could see, a white cloud seemed to have been swept away, revealing a bright yellow altar.
Anyone can imagine that it must be the place where the saint will worship the heavens and tell the ancestors and make the crown prince.
Even though it was a long distance away from the altar, the vast majority of the students still wanted to be as close to the Holy Shrine as possible, so although they were not allowed to climb the mountain path at this time, they still tried to get as close to the mountain path as possible.
There are a small number of exceptions.
Xie Changsheng fell at the end of the selection, and even the master of Baiyunguan who brought him here was ashamed to be with him, and walked to the side from afar, for Xie Changsheng, most of the people who fell at the end were his acquaintances, including his sister Xie Rou, who gave him the most headache.
It's just that when the figures of Ding Ning and Xue Wangxu appeared in his sight, he completely ignored Xie Rou's existence.
He didn't know what happened between the palace maid surnamed Rong and Ding Ning and the others, but when he saw Zhang Yi and Shen Yi from a distance, and saw Ding Ning and Xue Wangxu as if they were supporting each other, a silent power that was difficult to describe in words still easily hit the softest part of his heart, his brows couldn't help frowning deeply, and a feeling of pain began to fill his body.
He was by no means the only one who felt this way, even several Xuanfu officials behind the gate of Qingyu Mountain suddenly condensed their faces and breathed slightly.
Especially when Ding Ning and Xue Taixu approached and felt the breath on Ding Ning and Xue Taixu's bodies, the Xuanfu official who had been standing with his hands raised his eyebrows, his fair face instantly turned red, and a faint uncontrollable anger began to permeate his body.
Xie Rou's face was originally reddish, but contrary to this Xuanfu official, her face became whiter and whiter, until it turned pale.
There were also Nangong Caishu and Xu Heshan standing beside her, and when they saw Zhang Yi and Shen Yi's expressions clearly, their hands had already begun to tremble.
"Self-inflicted. ”
At this moment, a young man in a light blue brocade suit sneered disdainfully on the side: "This is the end of self-inflicted cleverness." ”
Xie Changsheng Huo Ran turned around.
In normal times, he would have used the most vicious words to fight back against the boy he did not know.
However, the silent and suppressed power exuded by Ding Ning and the others made him not even have the idea of scolding at this time, his heart was full of dryness and killing intent.
"Who is this man?"
He just asked Nangong Caishu and Xu Heshan beside him in a cold voice.
"Zhou forgot about the year, and now Ding Ning is the last one on the talent list. Nangong Caishu's tone was very difficult, and it seemed that the answer was very difficult, but every word was as cold as ice.
"Why, this tone asks me who I am, do you still want to wait for an opportunity to retaliate in the future?"
Xie Changsheng didn't scold people for the first time, but his question fell into Zhou Wangnian's ears, and Zhou Wangnian sneered disdainfully for the first time.
His face was as immature as Xie Changsheng, but much more arrogant than Xie Changsheng.
Not only is his cultivation much higher than Xie Changsheng, but also that his grandfather is a powerful and powerful adult in the Internal History Division.
For a powerful child like him, he naturally doesn't look down on people who were born in a businessman's family, or even a person who was born in the market.
Xie Changsheng's breathing suddenly became heavy.
"Who are you to taunt him?"
However, at this moment, an indifferent voice sounded.
Zhou Wangnian, Nangong Caishu and the others were all stunned, and following the voice, the Xuanfu official with his hands behind his back had approached their side at some point.
The middle-aged Xuanfu official looked at Zhou Wangnian with a cold face, and then said coldly: "If you want to ridicule others for not knowing current affairs, you must also think about whether you have the capital to ignore current affairs, and think about whether the eyes of the nobles in the palace will fall on you no matter how willful you are." ”
"The goshawk that folds its wings in the sky is still a goshawk, and the chicks in the chicken pen are still chicks no matter how much they call. ”
After saying these two sentences, the middle-aged Xuanfu official no longer looked at Zhou Wangnian, and Zhou Wangnian thought about the meaning of these words, but he couldn't say anything, and his face became extremely pale and ugly.
"He Chaoxi..."
At this moment, Xie Rou and the others' breathing suddenly stopped, and a figure walked out from the side, walking towards Ding Ning and Xue Wangxu, who had just passed through the Qingyu Mountain Gate, and then this person didn't say a word, just quietly turned around and helped Xue Wangxu.
This person was wearing the uniform of the Qingteng Sword Academy, and his figure was not strong, but he seemed to contain explosive power, and he was He Chaoxi, the most outstanding disciple of the Qingteng Sword Academy.
Although the Aries Cave was merged into the Qingteng Sword Academy, there was actually not much relationship between him and Xue Wangxu.
However, at this time, he used silent actions to show his attitude.
Zhou Wangnian looked at He Chaoxi, who was walking beside Ding Ning and Xue Wangxu, and his face became even more ugly.
