Chapter 108: Two Clearings
Pei Yuanxiu was silent for a while, and looked directly at Li Qingyan: "Yes." I'm a member of Kraken. I participated in and orchestrated last night's operation β I borrowed the power of the Americans. β
"Good. Li Qingyan smiled, "You still respect me, and you didn't try to hide it again." Now I want to ask, why?"
Pei Yuanxiu stretched out his hand to pick up the water cup and drank half a glass of water in one gulp: "As far as I am concerned, I don't want to hide it from you." We've been friends for eight years. But I haven't seen you yet, so I can't tell you everything. As for why, Qingyan, I'll just ask you a few questions. You're a smart man, you don't need me to explain much. β
"Excuse me. β
"At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, our leaders wanted to exclave the ascetic family from the system of power as much as possible. Why is that?"
"Because they are a huge community of interests. "They are long-lived, stubborn, lifeless, and lack compassion for the bottom." β
"Okay, I'll ask again. Now, what is the trend in Asia in this regard?"
Li Qingyan said: "Like the old dynasties that fell in the past, they were inevitably infiltrated by the forces of the cultivation family. As mortal leaders, it is impossible for them to accept just a few decades of life, and they will eventually become part of a family of cultivators. β
Pei Yuanxiu smiled: "Okay." That's the problem. Soon our Asiatic class will be completely solidified, as it has been in any dynasty in history. Almost immortal people rule over a group of short-lived people. Economically, by force, and even culturally, it is a situation of complete crushing. The magnates inherit their father's business, and the commoners will never be able to turn over. β
"The last time this situation was broken was because of the Industrial Revolution, and mortals had some power in their hands. But now, the one who gazes into the abyss has turned into a dragon, and the power has been taken away. It is almost impossible for mortals to have such a chance in the future. β
"Kraken is the name of the North Sea Monster in Norse mythology. When Ragnarok comes, the Giant Monster of the North Mountains will rise to the surface and stir up great storms - this is what we are going to do, overthrow the rule of the gods and change the day. We ......"
Li Qingyan raised his hand: "I understand." You don't like the people who are in power now, you fear that the future is dark, so you want to change. As for you......"
"I am a member of a family of ascetics, but I do not recognize the privileges I enjoy. I can give them up. Pei Yuanxiu said, "All of us have firm beliefs and ideals. But Qingyan ...... You don't seem to care about anything. So can you understand? I can't tell you that. β
Li Qingyan was silent for a while: "I can't judge whether your ideas are right or wrong. I don't have the right to say whether you can succeed or not, and whether you will become another person after you succeed. β
"I'm just a person who doesn't even fully understand myself, and I really can't show the way for others like you do. So Yuan Xiu, I'm not concerned about what you asked me. I'd like to know some more practical questions. For example, I was here that night, and you asked me about my true body, my realm. β
"βwas it to kill me last night?"
Pei Yuanxiu took a deep breath, sat upright, and said seriously: "On the contrary, it is to protect you." I know your true strength, so that I can find you an opponent who is on par with you, so that you will not die. Believe me, Qingyan, I didn't have full decision-making power over last night's actions, and I must make some others think that I didn't show you any mercy. β
Li Qingyan nodded slightly.
Pei Yuanxiu said again: "What happened in the morning, please think like this." Everyone already knows that you are a defector, and at such a time, killing you can prevent future troubles forever. β
"But it's just four special operators who are looking for you. Because I just want you to feel your situation and force you to leave Beishan as soon as possible. β
Li Qingyan smiled: "So Yu Peiyan is also one of you?
"I can't answer that question for you. β
"Understood. Li Qingyan looked at him, "Why did you kill Pei Bolu? because of your mother?"
Pei Yuanxiu was silent for a long time before he spoke: "This question has touched the core. Your question is like asking me what the project of the Goddess of Fertility of the Americans is, and at what cost we have made a deal with the Americans to get them to support us. β
"What about Lin Xiaoman, who is also one of you?"
Hearing this question, Pei Yuanxiu smiled bitterly: "I want to ...... I am the only one who can have the 'courage' to kill my father. Lin Xiaoman is not our person. β
Li Qingyan stood up: "Okay." That's it for me. It made me feel a little more comfortable - we were two clear. β
Pei Yuanxiu also stood up and looked at him sincerely: "I know I'm not qualified to say that. But I don't want to lose you as a friend. There is no such thing as a clear thing between us, and I owe it to you. Qingyan, please believe it. I'll do my best to wash everything out of you - if things go well, I'd like to ......"
"I brutally killed Yu Ruzhuo. Li Qingyan said, "So we owe each other, and now we are clear." β
Pei Yuanxiu was stunned: "What did you say?"
His eyelids twitched slightly, "Why?"
"She killed several innocent people. I seek justice from her. β
"Yes...... Your friend?" Pei Yuanxiu asked in a low voice.
"Passers-by. β
Pei Yuanxiu slowly inhaled a breath: "Because of such a relationship...... You killed her?"
Li Qingyan laughed: "Yuan Xiu, you told me just now that you want to do something for mortals. β
Pei Yuanxiu took two steps back and propped his hands on the table next to him. It was because it hadn't been cleaned for a few days, and the table was covered with a thin layer of dust.
"But she'll be my wife. Li Qingyan, you killed my fiancΓ©e...... My beloved!" After a moment of silence, Pei Yuanxiu spoke, his voice became hoarse, "You can't get out of this door today." β
But in stark contrast to his voice is his expression. His expression was solemn and calm, without any anger.
He writes on the table with his handsβ
Yu Peiyan was listening. Hijack me and go!
Li Qingyan's gaze stayed on this line for a while, and did not move.
Pei Yuanxiu shouted again: "What, do you think you can really dominate the world? Do you know that you have fallen into the net of heaven and earth!? I wanted to save your life, Li Qingyan, but you ran over to seek death by yourself!"
When he said these words, he walked quickly to Li Qingyan and raised his head slightly.
But Li Qingyan didn't clasp his neck with his hand, but slowly but firmly pushed him away. He looked into his eyes: "I came to you today, I didn't expect to leave peacefully." In the past, I was dragged into your intrigues, and I caught myself in it. But I hope to act in the rest of my life, and I will be worthy of admiration. Pei Yuanxiu, I said that we are clear. β
"But retribution has been common since ancient times. Someone wants to seek revenge on me, so come on. β
