Above Destiny

Chapter 235 Countdown

There is no airtight wall under the sky.

What's more, there are people like Tong Zhiwu who go deep behind enemy lines and deliver first-hand information at all times.

Ji Jue was captured alive by Jian Yuan the night before. Before dawn, the encrypted message was delivered to the outpost and handed over to Ye Xian personally by Lu Yingyue.

And prepared a lot of words of comfort.

Unfortunately, it was of no use at all.

"Okay, I get it now."

Ye Xian stared at the furnace with his head down, and waved his hand without looking up: "Leave it there."

Indifferent, no reaction.

There was no way to fake that indifferent look; rather, it was like a rare expression of true emotion… For a moment, Lu Yingyue was slightly stunned, wondering if Yu Hanguang’s beating was a little unfair.

"Aren't you worried at all?" she asked puzzled.

"Even if I'm worried and sad, you'll just watch me, right?" Ye Xian glanced back impatiently, making Lu Yingyue's smile even more helpless: "I'm not that kind of person."

"You brought this upon yourself, so you have to bear the consequences. I'm a teacher, not a babysitter."

Ye Xian said coldly: "Besides, if it was someone else, I might pay attention to it, but as for Jian Yuan, forget it. There is no need for rescue or anything like that."

"you sure?"

Lu Yingyue asked, "I sneaked into Jianyuan's workshop alone and rescued Yanyue. Not only Chaocheng and the Lou family, but also the Security Bureau should recognize this favor. Now that I have failed and been trapped, who knows how I will be tortured."

"Torture?"

Ye Xian sneered: "I think you are too happy to leave. It's not like you haven't asked about my background, don't you know?"

Lu Yingyue shrugged slightly, with an expression of "how could I do that?", but also looked like "you guessed it, you know me so well."

"You're here just to see this joke, right?"

Ye Xian rubbed his brows and sighed tiredly: "Fortunately, we broke into the door early, otherwise, when I saw that old man Jian Yuan, he might have to call me uncle."

Within the association, Ye Xian's name can be said to be very notorious among the top leaders, and it can make many craftsmen who have suffered from the past stop crying after hearing his name.

It can be said that her rise was so swift, cruel and tough that there has been no one like her in the past seventy years.

Unfortunately, seventy years ago... there was a man named Jian Yuan.

He started out as a disciple at the age of 24, became a master at the age of 31, and formed his own school at the age of 45. He became famous in the Thousand Islands between the Empire and the Federation. The swords he forged were unmatched, and many of them were even ranked among the best in the world. For example, the Xiao An sword that was broken into two pieces by Wen Wen was one of his early works.

At the age of fifty-six, he fell into corruption overnight. By now, he had gone from being the confidant of the association to an absolute threat.

Logically speaking, even if Yu Jin You Sui is incompatible with each other, he would always show mercy due to the fact that they are from the same family and would not be so cruel.

It's a pity that even though they are from the same bloodline, there is no affection between them.

Even if Ye Xian broke out, he couldn't wipe out the blood feud.

It is not uncommon for brothers to quarrel with each other and for the same family to fight each other, not to mention that the four words "harmony and friendship" are easy to say, but when it really gets out of hand, not to mention senior and junior brothers, even biological fathers and sons may beat their brains out.

A dispute of will, a difference in ideas, a distinction between high and low.

That year, Jian Yuan fought with Ye Xian's teacher three times and was defeated three times, but he didn't gain any advantage at all three times. He was even spared his life the last time...

If someone is magnanimous, he might turn back from his mistakes, but as a craftsman, how could he possibly have that kind of tolerance? Even if he did, how could he be shaken by a mere defeat and death?
Anyone who hesitated because of external things would never have come this far.

"It's fine for others, but if he knew Ji Jue was my student, he would definitely not let go of this opportunity." Ye Xian shook his head: "He would like to use this opportunity to slap my teacher a few times to prove that he is on the right path."

In the past you said that I was gimmicky, stagnant and outdated, but now I have many students all over the world, your most proud student has defected, and even her students have come to become my disciples. So who is taking the right path?

Moreover, regardless of other things, just based on Ji Jue's talent, Jian Yuan would definitely not let go of such a good piece of jade that was placed in front of him.

As for whether Ji Jue can withstand the erosion of stagnation and the temptation of Jian Yuan...

What does that have to do with me? !

After being tormented by all kinds of troubles for so long, it’s time for Teacher Ji Jue to let others enjoy such a good thing!
Besides, doesn't she know how troublesome her students are?

In some matters, it's easy to kill him, but if you really want him to bow his head willingly, even Ye Xian, the genuine teacher, doesn't have the ability to do so. You, Jianyuan, feel that your life is too good and want to make things difficult for yourself, so I can only wish you well and understand.

It's also a good opportunity to make that bastard Ji Jue suffer a little more.

Otherwise, even if he doesn't die this time, he will die at the hands of others sooner or later.

"So you're just going to leave it like that?" Lu Yingyue asked in confusion.

"Isn't this still too late?"

Ye Xian raised his head expressionlessly and looked at the countless spiritual circuits and blessings that flickered like stars above the furnace. In the reflection of the bright light, a certain sharp glow also emerged on that solemn face: "I will solve my own problems myself.

My student, after I have discussed it with my uncle, I will naturally bring it back."

Lu Yingyue was silent.

Such a serious look... She hasn't seen this in her old friend for many years.

“It’s just embers after all,” she murmured softly.

What suddenly dawned on him was that Jian Yuan wasn't the only one who was angry. Maybe Ye Xian wanted to take this opportunity to teach his teacher a lesson. But poor Ji Jue was afraid that he would become a tool in the fight between the two Yu Jins.

Since joining the sect, everything has been free-range, without enjoying any benefits from the master. As a result, all the debts and blames left by the master have been piled on his head.

In the end, I sighed sincerely: "It's really unlucky to be your student."

In response, Ye Xian simply withdrew his gaze indifferently.

"Each each other."

At this moment, the debate in the outpost meeting room came to an end.

The meeting ended and the participants dispersed.

"Hmm? Where's Yingyue?"

The white-haired woman looked at the empty space and asked, "Didn't you come today?"

"I'm afraid it's annoying."

Tong Ting beside him smiled slightly: "It's nothing more than the same old things. Director Lu is broad-minded and naturally doesn't want to argue with others, so he let me do it for you.

But it was Ah Shan who really made me, his uncle, look good. The people in Chuancheng usually talk in a high-handed manner, but today they have nothing to say. Even Madam Lou rarely speaks to me so calmly. "

Madam Lou glanced at him and said, "Of course Ah Shan has his share of favors, but isn't it Master Ye's disciple who has more? Besides, you lazy bastard, you never show up unless it's urgent. Why do you care whether an old man like me speaks well?"

"My grandfather has taught me since I was a child that if you take a step back when faced with a problem, the world will be more open. Fighting for everything is not good. Unless there is a crisis, who would not want to live a peaceful life at home?"

Tong Ting sighed bitterly, "The situation is no longer a matter of one family or one place. Haizhou and the Federation have been dragged into this. It might be another battle between good and evil. I, an agent who is in the spotlight, feel like I have to bear a thorn in my side and just be a yes-man. It is women like you, Madam Lou, who often put me to shame."

"There is no young and strong person at the helm of the family, so I, a woman, have to step out and show my face. I have to act more arrogantly and appear to be powerful. Compared with the Tong family, I am just strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

If you want to flatter me, please stop saying it."

Madam Lou sighed slightly and asked solemnly, "I just arrived today, and the situation is unclear. You are here on behalf of Mr. Tong, so you should give me a definite answer, right?"

"It's come to this, there's nothing to say." Tong Ting recounted the words of the old man in the family: "The difference between good and evil cannot be confused, there must be a fight.

Didn't Grandpa Lou mean the same thing?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Lou's expression remained calm and she showed no emotion at all.

Rather, I felt relieved.

It's just a fight, it's not a big deal. The worst that can happen is death, and at most more people in your family will die.

It seems as if no one has ever died in the family.

The struggle between the chosen ones is so cruel, and with such a large family and great wealth, it is natural that there will be casualties.

But now that the matter involves Haizhou, each family has nowhere to retreat. Now that all the elites have come out, what they are afraid of is not fighting, but not fighting. If this protracted confrontation continues, how can they survive?

Besides, who would have nothing better to do than place a bomb at the door? Who knows when Lu Changsheng got crazy and took out the remote control to play with it?
If before, all parties were still wavering about Quancheng, Lu Changsheng's move had completely brought everyone to a consensus.

Fight, must fight!
And we must pin down the evil cult and beat them to death!
No matter how incompetent the Federation is, it cannot let Lu Changsheng slap the base in the face.

But the key is...

"How is Mr. Tao doing?"

Tong Ting was silent for a moment, then sighed softly, "You are full of energy and clear-headed. Since I saw you yesterday, you have become even more talkative."

Mrs. Lou didn't say anything.

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh at the same time.

All the families had contributed to the fact that Mr. Tao could take the post of the governor of Haizhou. It was rare to have a governor who was not greedy but instead wanted to solve the problems for Haizhou. It was like celebrating the New Year.

Everyone hopes that Mr. Tao will live long, preferably a hundred or a thousand years.

Unfortunately, it now seems that time is running out.

After suffering heavy damage and the erosion of the entire Quancheng in the past, Mr. Tao has been in a coma for many years. After waking up, he looks confused and dull unless it is necessary.

Intelligence is like a lamp and humanity is like oil. Mr. Tao has long been a fire without a source.

A ray of residual light can still last for a long time, but now the brighter and more vigorously the lights burn, the shorter the time becomes.

At the same time, it is getting closer to Tianyuan...

——The weaker, the stronger!
"Get ready, Madam Lou. Lord Tao is not someone who is willing to be controlled by evil spirits." Tong Ting slowly stood up and said, "We have been testing each other for so long, it should be these two days."

The footsteps gradually faded away.

Madam Lou sighed silently for a long time, then her eyes drooped.

For some reason, I suddenly remembered the meeting with Mr. Tao a few years ago.

The last words the old man said to himself...

——For the sake of the world, why should I care about my life? !
　I finally managed to go out. I caught the morning rush hour when I left in the morning and the evening rush hour when I returned home in the evening. The round trip was more than 50 kilometers, and I was stuck in traffic in Chengdu for a whole day...
