Jianghu Is Not Solitude - C49
Wu Xiangdao poured a cup of tea and placed it across the table. He then imagined Gui Wuji sitting there drinking tea and couldn’t help but smile.
He had always admired Gui Wuji because he had never been disappointed when Gui Wuji went out to do something. The only reason he could get the position as a Gold Assassin was because it was all piled up using other people’s corpses.
The most important thing was, Gui Wuji was not as arrogant as the other assassins. He was always a little bit humble, and only when he was humble could he defeat someone stronger than him!
The door was not closed, but Gui Wuji still knocked on the door. Wu Weidao continued to stare at the fragrant tea in front of him and said with a faint smile, “Come in!”
Gui Wuji walked in slowly and cupped his fist towards Wu Weidao, then said, “Greetings, Hall Master!”
“Sit down!” Wu Weidao pointed at the seat opposite them, “This tea is for you!”
“Your subordinate is terrified. How dare you ask the hall master to pour tea for me?” Gui Wuji said with a terrified face.
“You’re welcome. You know I don’t like being polite!” Wu Weidao said with a stern expression.
Gui Wuji was indeed well aware of this point, so he had no choice but to sit across from Wu Weidao.
“It’s been a long journey, hasn’t it? “Look at you, you’re sweating profusely!” Wu Weidao laughed.
Gui Wuji raised his hand to wipe his sweat, then drank a mouthful of tea, and could not help but praise, “What tea is this? “Why is it so fragrant?”
“Wu Yi Mountain, Da Hong Pao!” Wu Weidao laughed.
“Huh?” Gui Wuji was surprised, “This is the Da Hong Pao? This is indeed a well-deserved reputation! ”
Wu Xiangdao poured another cup for him in a hurry and said with a smile: “Don’t worry, you will have to drink this tea slowly.”
Gui Wuji didn’t drink the tea immediately. Instead, he put down the teacup and hesitated for a moment before asking, “Hall Master, this Subordinate has something to ask you!”
“What is it?” Wu Weidao asked in a deep voice.
“Did you give the order for me to kill Meng Spring Pavilion? Why did you give such an order? ” Gui Wuji asked.
“When did I give such an order?” Wu Weidao asked.
“Last night!” Gui Wuji saw the doubt on Wu Xiangdao’s face and could not help but feel slightly puzzled, “Could it be that the hall master did not give out this order?”
“No!” Wu Weidao said calmly.
“That’s strange! Why did the Sect Leader insist that it was you who gave the order? ” Gui Wuji mumbled to himself.
“Did the Sect Leader say that?” Wu Weidao asked.
“That’s right!” Gui Wuji said.
“Bastard!” He dares to falsify my orders, he really has the guts to eat a leopard! ” Wu Weidao said angrily.
“As long as it isn’t an order from Pavilion Master Wu, I am at ease!” Gui Wuji said with a face full of joy.
“Then did you kill Meng Chun Lou?” Wu Weidao asked hastily.
“No!” Gui Wuji said.
“You’re not his opponent?” Wu Weidao asked.
“That’s right!” But I had the chance to kill him later on, and I couldn’t bear it! ” Gui Wuji said.
“Oh?” Wu Weidao stared at Gui Wuji and sized him up carefully before asking, “Why did the Sect Leader want you to kill Meng Chun Lou?”
“Because Meng Chun Lou stopped me from killing Pengyang Swordsman Penggao, and because the Sect Leader felt that he had affected our mission, he decided to vent his anger on him. That’s why he gave me the order to kill him!” Gui Wuji guessed.
Wu Weidao nodded and asked, “So, you’re here to report him?”
“He passed down the hall master’s orders as his own. He is truly bold and audacious!” Gui Wuji said.
Wu Weidao took a sip of his tea. With a layer of frost on his face, he said coldly, “Slap!”
“Huh?” Gui Wuji was shocked and quickly looked up at Wu Xiangdao. Seeing his icy expression, he did not hesitate any longer and sent a slap towards his own face!
“Pa!”
“Pa!”
“Pa!”
After three slaps, blood started trickling out of the corner of Gui Wuji’s mouth, but there was no change on Wu Xiangdao’s face. He had to keep hitting, and after 13 more blows, his face had swollen and his teeth were loosened.
He could only shake his head, indicating that he did not know. Wu Weidao smiled coldly, and said: “First, he is your Sect Leader, so you can only listen to him. Even if you have suspicions, you can’t directly come to me for confirmation. Second, since he wants you to kill Meng Chun Lou, then you must complete the mission, unless you have no chance at all, but you said you had a chance to do it, then what does that mean? This means that you have started to betray the Sect Leader! ”
He shook his head with all his might, trying to prove his innocence. However, he heard Wu Weidao sneering, “Perhaps you are loyal to him, but I can’t let you be so presumptuous!”
Gui Wuji suddenly felt that he was very stupid, so stupid that he couldn’t even be compared to a fool!
He felt extremely regretful because he shouldn’t have come here and said those words to Wu Weidao!
“You should go. Go back and think about it!” Wu Weidao said coldly.
With a face full of unwillingness, Gui Wuji stood up and glared coldly at Wu Wei Dao. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Wu Wei say, “Slap your mouth again!”
Gui Wuji didn’t know what kind of mistake he made, but he subconsciously looked at Wu Xiangdao, hoping that he could give a reasonable explanation.
Wu Weidao did not even look at Gui Wuji and said coldly: “You must be convinced. If you are not, fight until you are convinced!”
Gui Wuji bitterly gritted his teeth and opened his palm to slap his face. The slap went all the way to his mouth, but he still did not stop. Wu Weidao could not bear to watch any longer, so he grabbed his arm and shouted, “Scram!”
This time, Gui Wuji didn’t glare at Wu Xiangdao. Instead, he turned around and left the room. His steps were so messy!
After he left, Wu Xiangdao drank three cups of tea in a row, but he still felt thirsty. No amount of tea could ease his anger, much less suppress it!
As soon as the fourth cup of tea was filled, there was a knock on the door. Wu Weidao frowned and asked coldly: “Who is it?”
“This subordinate will kill Batian!” This voice was a bit cold, as if it came from the Underworld.
“Come in!” Wu Weidao looked coldly at the door, waiting for the appearance of Sha Batian.
Sha Batian pushed open the door and walked in slowly. He saw Wu Xiangdao’s eyes glued to him like a hawk staring at its prey. He could not help but feel his scalp go numb.
“Sit down!” Taste this good tea! ” Only then did Wu Weidao look away from him, towards the seat that Gui Wuji sat on before.
Sha Ba sat down boldly and didn’t hurry to drink his tea. Instead, he tried to speak softly, “When I came in, I saw Gui Wuji!”
Wu Weidao took a shallow sip of tea, then asked, “You want to know if he came here to report you?”
Sha Batian did not answer.
If there was no answer, then it was silent!
Wu Weidao smiled bitterly and asked, “Your brain has been running out recently!”
“This subordinate is terrified. Please enlighten me, hall master!” Sha Batian lowered his head, not daring to look at Wu Xiangdao.
“Meng Chun Lou’s martial arts are powerful. Even if Gu Yi Yang were to come out, he might not necessarily have the upper hand. How dare you send someone to assassinate him?” Wu Weidao asked.
“Reporting to Hall Master, Meng Chun Lou’s martial arts are indeed powerful, but he was poisoned and this is the perfect opportunity to strike!” As the saying goes, do not miss the opportunity. This subordinate will not let this good opportunity slip by! ” Killing Tyrant’s Path.
“But the result?” Wu Weidao asked coldly.
“This is all because Limitless did not listen to my orders! If he is willing to listen to me, then Meng Chun Lou will definitely die right now! ” Killing Tyrant’s Path.
“Does this matter belong to Limitless? He can’t tell if it’s you giving the order or me giving the order! ” Wu Weidao said coldly.
When Sha Batian heard this, he was startled. He hurriedly got up and kneeled on the ground, and said anxiously, “This subordinate deserves to die a thousand deaths. Hall Master, please punish me!”
“Punishment? Do you know what crime you have committed? ” Wu Weidao smiled coldly, “Do you have a head longer than others?”
“Your subordinate is terrified! This subordinate knows that the fake hall master’s orders deserve ten thousand deaths, but that Gui Wuji has a stubborn personality, so he doesn’t care about this subordinate’s words at all. Only the hall master’s orders can suppress him, so … ”
“You are his school head, and even you can’t control him. What use do I have for you?” Wu Weidao asked coldly.
When Sha Ba Tian heard this, he felt chills down his spine. It was as if there was a ghost claw scratching at his back, cold and itchy. He wanted to scratch but didn’t dare to act rashly.
“The most important thing is that you should never have tried to touch the Meng Chun building. Don’t you know that right now, I am doing my best to rope him in?” Wu Weidao’s voice was like water, his tone was not high, but each word was hurtful. It was like an icicle that stabbed at the heart of Sha Tyrant, causing him to feel waves of pain!
“Why aren’t you talking? Is there nothing you can say? ” Wu Weidao asked.
“The hall master’s words of reprimand are extremely correct. This subordinate has nothing to say!” Killing Tyrant’s Path.
“Then you can decide for yourself! I, Wu Weidao, am not a mediocre man! ” Wu Weidao said coldly.
“Pavilion Master Wu!” You really want me to die? ” Sha Batian asked with a look of unwillingness.
“Do you still need to live?” Wu Weidao asked.
“Humph!” Zhan Batian sneered, “It’s not good enough for me to kill Batian, but before I die, there are some words that I have to say!”
“Everyone says that a man is about to die and his words are good, so just say it! I also want to hear the kind words from someone who is about to die! ” Wu Wei said.
“Although that Meng Chun Lou’s martial arts is powerful, he might not be able to be of any help to our Yi Hall. I’m afraid that you, the pavilion master, will go all out and end up with nothing!” Instead of trying to make a fool of yourself and make it pay, it would be better to get rid of it as soon as possible and avoid future troubles. This is the true basis of standing up for oneself! ” Sha Ba Tian said coldly.
“Go on!” Wu Weidao took a sip of his tea with a look of interest on his face.
“The reason I wanted to kill Meng Chun Lou, aside from removing the hidden danger, was actually to avenge Li Zhi. After all, he died in the hands of Meng Chun Lou! If our brother dies and we cannot avenge him, how will we face our other brothers in the future? On the contrary, hall master, you tried your best to curry favor with Meng Chunlou. As Sha Ba Tian spoke, his eyes were filled with tears, but he tried his best not to let them flow out.
Wu Weidao let out a long sigh and didn’t answer him. He placed the teacup on the table and slowly stood up, pacing back and forth in the room.
“I still remember what you said to your brothers when you were fighting against the world with the hall master. No one can bully my brothers. These words still make my blood boil. Could it be that the hall master has already forgotten about these words? ” Sha Tyrant’s heart ached as he asked.
Wu Weidao finally stopped and looked towards Sha Batian, shouting: “I didn’t forget, I won’t forget even if I die!”
“Since you didn’t forget, then why can’t you allow me to take revenge for Li Zhi?” Zhan Batian asked.
“Li Zhi deserves to die! Even if he wasn’t killed by Meng Chunlou, I will take his life! ” Wu Weidao said coldly.
“Hall master, where did you come from?” Zhan Batian asked.
“Although he, Li Zhi, has some ability, what does that capability matter? How dare he claim to be the fastest sword in the world, who was he? I’ve already told Sect Head Chu to remind him, but he turned a deaf ear towards me. Does he still have a Sect Leader in his eyes, and a Hall Master like me? ” Wu Weidao asked coldly.
Sha Batian bitterly smiled and couldn’t help but sigh, “So the hall master wanted to kill Li Zhi long ago. It seems that Meng Chunlou helped the hall master out greatly! I finally understand what my mistake was! ”
Wu Weidao looked coldly at Sha Batian, and said, “You are wrong! Even if I wanted to kill Li Zhi, it’s not the time for him to do so. Even if he dares to kill Li Zhi, I will still take his life.
“Is that so? What exactly is the hall master worried about? ” Zhan Batian asked.
“Dreamy Cloud Manor!” Wu Weidao said slowly.
Sha Ba Tian was slightly shocked. He pondered for a moment and said, “Didn’t Meng Chun House say they would never return to the Dreamy Cloud Villa? Is there any need for us to worry about it? ”
“A son can never recognize his own father, but can a father never recognize his own son? “Right now, since Meng Chun Lou is still alive, the Yunmeng Manor may not side with him. However, if he is dead or in danger, I dare to say that the Yunmeng Manor will definitely spare no effort to avenge Meng Chun Lou!” Wu Weidao said with a face full of certainty.
“But Old Master Meng also said that his relationship with father and son in Meng Chunlou was severed. Could someone like Old Master Meng go back on his word?” Zhan Batian asked.
“Maybe not for a year or two, but as time passes, it’s hard to guarantee that his determination will not waver! After all, time is the most effective way to change everything! ” Wu Wei said.
“This subordinate understands the hall master’s intentions! “If our Wishing Hall wants to become more powerful, we must not offend forces like the Dreamy Cloud Manor. Moreover, we must recruit them. Only by doing so can we use them to our advantage and unite the martial arts world!” Killing Tyrant’s Path.
Wu Weidao smiled indifferently and said, “You understand so quickly. It’s really rare!”
“It’s a pity that this subordinate understands too late. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have wasted my life in vain!” Sha Batian smiled bitterly.
“You can choose to live because you’re not too stupid!” Wu Weidao said with a stern expression.
“The hall master can really spare my life?” Zhan Batian asked.
“If you die, won’t I have to spend the same amount of time to make your successor understand the logic behind that?” Wu Weidao smiled bitterly.
“Thank you for not killing me!” This subordinate will do his best to assist the hall master in his efforts in unifying the martial arts world as soon as possible! ” It was hard to hide the joy in his heart as he said this.
“You can go. I’m very tired and I want to rest!” As Wu Xiangdao spoke, he walked towards the bedside.
Killing the Sky Tyrant Lord had taken his life. He was afraid that Wu Weidao would change his mind, so he quickly left the room.
Wu Weidao lazily laid down on the bed, listening to the footsteps gradually getting farther and farther away. He couldn’t help yawning, but just as he was about to close his eyes, he heard a voice as soft as a mosquito whisper in his ear, “Is Pavilion Master Wu around?”
