Joy of Life: Starting from Teacher Fan Xian

Chapter 119 Si Gu Jian's Decision
Although Dongyi City gathers all the wealth in the world, it was just a territory under the jurisdiction of the undivided Wei Dynasty.

The current brilliant achievements are inseparable from Ye Qingmei’s city management philosophy.

Since Si Gu Jian took control of Dongyi City, he has continued the design of free trade, determined to create a good environment for his people and never let politics interfere with business, thus creating a coastal city that is unrivaled in the world.

But whenever he thought of this, Si Gu Jian, who had been ruthless all his life, would have an indescribable regret or guilt on his face. In short, it was difficult for him to show pride in the development achievements of Dongyi City.

In an ordinary and dim little room in Jianlu, this great master who was rarely seen just sat there straight, not saying a word, probably recalling certain days.

The sword boy served on the side, silently making tea for the guests. The sword hut was too quiet, so quiet that Fei Jie didn't want to stay there.

He looked at Si Gu Jian, trying to find some characteristics of a fool, but in fact, the creator of the sword pavilion not only still looked like a fool, but his temperament had changed drastically.

He is an out-and-out swordsman who only cares about what is ahead when he draws his sword.

Si Gu Jian, the great master who has killed all the people in the world, has an ordinary appearance. He is far from being as elegant and graceful as people imagine. He is very short and has a face that is not that good-looking, but rather looks very wretched.

From the beginning to the end, Fei Jie believed that calling him a fool and a idiot was an appropriate description of his image, just like when Fan Xian first saw him, didn't he also call him a dirty old bitch.

People always look at appearance.

However, few people could withstand the extraordinary sword power emanating from Si Gu Jian and would call him a fool.

"You have known her for a long time. Tell me, is leaving Dongyi City the most wrong decision she has ever made in her life?" Si Gu Jian finally spoke. The ruthless and heartless grandmaster mentioned a woman without any hesitation, as if he was saying that he was a human being after all and would feel guilty.

It was Ye Qingmei who spent a huge sum of money to hire the world-famous poison master Fei Jie to save Si Gu Jian.

But as a person who has experienced it and witnessed it, Fei Jie is having a headache at the moment. He doesn't understand what the fool opposite him is thinking, whether he needs a sense of identity or is full of paranoid hatred.

Si Gu Jian has never been able to get over Ye Qingmei's abandonment.

Fei Jie thought about it and followed his inner thoughts. He was not afraid of offending a fool and said bluntly: "After leaving Dongyi City, she did achieve many impossible ambitions. I believe she has never regretted it."

"But she is dead." Si Gu Jian said coldly, as if he couldn't believe it. How could such a person die?

Fei Jie sighed and took a sip of tea: "Life and death are not enough to measure the success or failure of some decisions."

"Her heart is so big that it needs the whole world to spread it out, but my heart is so small that it only has a city and a sword." Si Gu Jian revealed his true feelings, his face imitating Ku He and buried in the darkness.

"When I was young, I was bullied in the city lord's mansion and experienced the ups and downs of life. So after I mastered the swordsmanship, I wanted to wipe out my family and take revenge, but she stopped me. At that time, I was thinking, after a kind person leaves Dongyi City, even if Wuzhu is by his side, can he really guarantee that he can survive the dangers of the world?"

Si Gu Jian shook his head and said with a sense of loss, "So on the day she left, I desperately wiped out the entire City Lord's Mansion to express my anger. But even so, I only ended up severing our friendship and became strangers. In the end, I didn't achieve what I wanted."

"Revenge should be a good thing."

Fei Jie, who had never understood love in his life, paused, as if he was listening to a love story between a man and a woman. Finally, he could not help but said in surprise: "So you admire her too."

Fei Jie felt it was ridiculous. He didn't know how many men were competing for one woman. Even his immediate superiors had such thoughts.

However, there is still a gap between admiration and love.

Who knew that after these words came out, Si Gu Jian raised his head and said with disdain, "Even if she is as beautiful as a fairy and has extraordinary abilities, what's the use? She is still the little girl who taught me the sword manual under the big green tree."

"I'm not a pervert. I won't like a girl who is no more than seven or eight years old."

Fei Jie was speechless after hearing this. He coughed to ease the embarrassment. There was some truth in what he said. He couldn't help but secretly curse himself for being the real pervert.

"In my life, all I love is the sword in my hand. I am very grateful for its gift." Si Gu Jian spoke out his inner thoughts. At his feet, there was an ordinary, worn-out sword. The hilt was tied with a hemp rope, and it was stained with the blood of countless people.

This is the best proof of Si Gu Jian’s ruthlessness.

"You fool, your temper is getting worse and worse." Fei Jie scolded.

Si Gu Jian lowered his head slightly, patted the hilt of his sword, and said with emotion: "I have killed so many people. How can I, a guy full of anger, compare with the young Lord Lin of your Supervisory Council?"

As he spoke, Si Gu Jian glanced outside and said solemnly, "It seems that I won't be able to accept a disciple today. There are fewer and fewer young talents in Dongyi City, but there are more and more outstanding people in Nanqing."

"What do you want to say?" Fei Jie asked.

Si Gu Jian shook his head: "Nothing, I just have more plans to make."

"Let's stop talking nonsense and what's your decision?" Fei Jie finally brought the subject back and decided not to listen to the meaningless nonsense of the person in front of him.

"I still owe you a favor, right?" Si Gu Jian looked up and asked.

"This is a big favor. Not only you, but everyone inside and outside Dongyi City should thank me instead of looking at me with evil eyes and holding grudges."

Si Gu Jian said sarcastically, "If you say so, every subject of Nan Qing should hate you with all their might, because your superb medical skills have led to the current situation." "Nan Qing at that time was far from being able to extend its hand to Dongyi City." Everything is based on first come first served, and Fei Jie naturally thought that he was the first to arrive.

If Nanqing had the national strength to swallow Dongyi City at that time, he would certainly not be so foolish as to take action.

After all, he is not a good man who worries about the world. Fei Jie still wants to be a free and easy wanderer like Ye Liuyun.

"I have nothing to say to you. The decision has already been conveyed to my disciples. You can go and ask Lord Lin of your Supervisory Council." Si Gu Jian said softly.

Fei Jie thought of the Jianlu disciples who entered the restaurant. Since he had the answer, he shouldn't ask more questions. He slowly stood up and bowed to Si Gu Jian, as a way of expressing respect for the Grand Master, who was beyond the mundane world.

After leaving Jianlu, the fighting continued, but some controversy arose.

"How could we allow a person from Nanqing to enter the Sword Tomb of Dongyi City? This is a great shame."

"Don't the disciples of Jianlu care about it?"

The noise lingered under the big green tree for a long time, and it seemed that many people were extremely angry.

What made them angry was not that the man from Nanqing had the qualifications to step into the sword tomb, but that this man from Nanqing went in unscrupulously, came out safely, and took away a fine sword from the sword tomb without any effort, an achievement that no one present could accomplish.

Jealousy, rejection, all thoughts turned into anger at this moment.

But unlike this, the disciples of Jianlu adhered to their consciences, followed the rules, and did not impose any obstacles on the people of Nanqing.

The anger of the people in the city can only dissipate with time.

Zong Zhui was contentedly holding the good sword that had not seen the light of day for who knows how many years, and walked through the crowd of people in Dongyi City, preparing to go back to the restaurant under all the cold stares.

But at this moment, a sword was inserted in front of him at an inappropriate time. It was not from the indignant swordsman of Dongyi City, but from a calm disciple of Jianlu.

The eldest disciple of Jianlu, Yun Zhilan, who to a certain extent represents the future status of Dongyi City.

Zong Zhui looked up, blinked again and again in surprise, and stared, "What do you mean?"

"Give Nan Qing an explanation." Yun Zhilan always looks steady, even though what he did at this moment was unexpected to all the disciples of Jianlu.

"We in Dongyi City admit to the Niulan Street case, but we don't admit to the Cangshan case, and we even less admit to the border case. This is Dongyi City's explanation. Please convey it." After saying this, Yun Zhilan put away his sword and a cold look returned to his face.

This was beyond everyone's expectations. The disciples of Jianlu were terrified, and the people of Dongyi City lost their excitement.

They all knew what this meant, so they all fell silent at the same time.

Dongyi City, which had been peaceful for many years, seemed to be no longer peaceful from this moment on. When Yun Zhilan's words reached Qing Kingdom, everyone knew what would happen next.

Zong Zhui calmed down and asked, "I think you can't represent Jianlu's attitude."

"The eldest disciple of Jianlu never makes decisions on his own. This is the decision of Dongyi City." Yun Zhilan informed the Nanqing man solemnly and turned back to Jianlu.

Si Gu Jian made the decision as soon as he finished his retreat, and Yun Zhilan only conveyed it on his behalf and announced it to the world.

For a moment, every citizen of Dongyi City cast their eyes towards the sword room without knowing what was going on.
He wanted to explore the god of Dongyi City, the Sword Saint. He has been protecting the city for nearly twenty years, and every decision he made was based on the peace of the citizens.

But today's decision is undoubtedly a bit abrupt.

But on second thought, Nan Qing's unreasonable slander was not only putting pressure on him, but perhaps the Sword Saint had also lost his temper and was no longer willing to endure humiliation and kowtow.

The decision of Lord Sword Saint was unquestionable, because he was the only pillar of Dongyi City, and the citizens quickly convinced themselves of their restless hearts.

"Mr. Lin, I have delivered your message. Goodbye." Shisan Wang stood up, bowed, and left the restaurant.

Mu Tie waited patiently for everyone to leave before rushing into the room impatiently: "Sir, Dongyi City's decision..."

"I know. Shisan Wang has already relayed it." Lin Ruo sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.

"What should I do?" Mu Tie was at a loss.

Lin Ruo raised his head and glanced out the window, then said quietly, "Wait for Mr. Fei to come back and discuss this at the inn."

Mu Tie lowered his head, not understanding why the master could still be so calm, and sighed: "I don't know whether it is good or bad to go back like this."

Lin Ruo slowly drank a sip of tea and said in a cold voice: "Remember, what results to bring back is always decided by us."
