But in the human world, it is already a very powerful existence.
Being the guard of this prince is completely sufficient, and even seems a bit underrated.
Xu Qingyan smiled slightly.
"It seems that the prince has many capable people around him. I don't know what happened that made the prince find us."
Zhao Yuanji sat across from the two of them. He avoided looking at Pei Yu, as if he was convinced that there was some special relationship between the two of them.
"Hmm... Let me ask you first, what are your names and where are you from?"
Xu Qingyan did not hesitate.
"My name is Xu Qingyan, and she is Pei Yu. We are from the Eighteen Sword Sect."
Pei Yu was somewhat dissatisfied. This young man wanted to introduce himself, and he did it so simply? It seemed as if the two people were of the same status.
What virtue and ability does he have?
However, she was quite restrained in front of Zhao Yuanji and had no intention of turning hostile on the spot.
But he was still as cold as ice, sitting on the chair with a sense of alienation and indifference.
Cold gaze.
Zhao Yuanji suddenly realized, "That's it..."
"What do you mean?" Xu Qingyan asked.
Zhao Yuanji smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "To be honest, actually... I am asking the immortal masters of the Eighteen Sword Sects to come to Zhao Tang Country."
"Did you send someone to notify them?"
Pei Yu couldn't help but frown and interrupt.
Zhao Yuanji smiled and said, "Yes, it's me."
"Do you know... what is the witch doctor?"
This is the key to the purpose of this trip, and Zhao Yuanji answered in a low voice.
"Auntie Wu is right, but... I can't be sure that this matter is Wu's fault. Compared with Wu's fault, there are more important things for our country that need the help of the two immortal masters."
Xu Qingyan hesitated for a moment.
"plague?"
Zhao Yuanji was in a trance for a moment, then smiled and said, "Master is indeed perceptive. It seems that he has learned something on the way here."
Xu Qingyan took a sip of tea and said, "I just found out about this not long ago."
Zhao Yuanji sighed, looking worried about the country and the people, and said softly.
"That's right. About half a year ago, there were signs of this happening in the south of the city."
"Half a year? I heard it was three months."
Xu Qingyan looked at Zhao Yuanji's expression and did not trust the concern for the country and the people on his face.
Zhao Yuanji shook his head, "Three months is the time when the plague in the south of the city broke out in full swing and it was out of control. And the first signs of it, according to my subordinates, were half a year ago." Zhao Yuanji looked out the window with a distant look and continued, "About half a year ago, a man named Chen in the south of the city suddenly fell ill. He felt dizzy and was bedridden for a day. His family thought it was a cold infection, so they used ordinary medicine to treat it.
Three days later, he seemed to be getting better, but he didn't expect that when he got out of bed to work... he vomited black blood, his whole body suddenly swelled up, and he fell to the ground with black and blue patches, and died immediately. His death was extremely tragic, even his eyeballs, tongue, and fingers were ulcerated and finally turned into a pool of thick water..."
Xu Qingyan looked at Pei Yu, "Have you ever heard of such a disease?"
Pei Yu shook his head, then thought for a moment and said to Zhao Yuanji, "Your Highness should know that we cultivators should not interfere with the cause and effect of the mortal world. If it is something like this plague or disease, one or two people are actually harmless and can be saved if possible, but with such a large scale and no definite solution, it is not easy for us to take action."
Xu Qingyan had no intention of stopping Pei Yu from speaking, this was also his own intention.
The more extraordinary a person is, the more he should not act rashly. In fact, it has nothing to do with justice or injustice, because whether it is natural disasters, man-made disasters, wars or diseases, there are causes and consequences.
To interfere with this with the power of an immortal cultivator would be to offend the destiny.
This is of no benefit to cultivation, and with so many people and the entire southern part of the city, the consequences are not something anyone can afford.
Maybe that time when you break through the realm and overcome the tribulation, it will be directly repaid on you. The more power you have, the more you will cherish your feathers. Who is willing to make such an exchange?
Zhao Yuanji nodded, "Of course I know this. Please don't worry, my purpose is not to ask you two to solve the plague, but I think this plague... may not be a real plague, but someone has tampered with it."
Xu Qingyan frowned, "You mean..."
Zhao Yuanji lowered his voice and said, "Just three months ago, when the plague broke out in the south of the city, a group of people entered Xinrang City. At the same time, an organization called Fengtian Sect arose in Xinrang City. They preached that the plague was a punishment from heaven for Xinrang and even Zhao Tang State, because the king had too much karma and was in a high position but did nothing. It was a retribution. As long as you believe in them and sincerely serve the heaven and eliminate your karma, you can get rid of the plague and eliminate the wrath of heaven."
Pei Yu couldn't help but sneer.
"If believing in them can eliminate the wrath of heaven, then why is this plague getting worse and worse?"
Zhao Yuanji sighed, "That's it... But my father turned a blind eye to all this and did nothing. And the suppression of Fengtian Sect was also done by my people, and he didn't care about it at all."
Xu Qingyan frowned and asked, "The Fengtian Cult has insulted your father to this extent, and you have no reaction?"
"In fact, he hasn't attended court for more than three months."
"why?"
"Remember what I said before... the group of people who entered the city three months ago? They... were dressed as Taoist priests and called themselves Heavenly Masters."
Xu Qingyan looked at Pei Yu.
Pei Yu frowned and said, "Witches are not ordinary people... They say all kinds of things. Heavenly Master may be an identity that he likes to use."
Zhao Yuanji said, "I don't know what methods these Taoists used to make my father trust them so much that he even built a special Taoist temple for them in the nearest place outside the palace. They don't ask about state affairs at all. People in my palace learned that my father spent all day with them seeking immortality... refining elixirs and practicing martial arts. What I am really worried about... is this group of people. I even feel that this group of Taoists is also related to this sudden plague, as well as the so-called Fengtian Sect..."
After hearing this, Xu Qingyan and Pei Yu both felt that this matter was not that simple.
Especially for the witches and witches, Xu Qingyan could also know that this group of people liked to do this kind of mess the most.
It stirs up trouble and causes numerous disturbances.
They don't care about human life at all, whether it's ordinary people or immortal cultivators, they take them all.
This matter could really be a lie.
Zhao Yuanji said at this time, "No matter what the plague is, at least if it is really a witch doctor, we are a team. I serve the country and the people, so the two immortal masters don't have to worry about the so-called cause and effect. So please consider this matter, and if you have made a decision, you can contact me at any time..."
Zhao Yuanji hadn't finished speaking yet.
Suddenly there was a noise outside.
"Go away!"
"boom!"
Zhao Yuanji stood up in astonishment, and Xu Qingyan and Pei Yu looked at each other.
Then he walked forward and opened the door.
I saw the boss's son lying on the ground holding a ball, not knowing what to do, with a look of panic in his eyes.
The tall man standing at the door had a cold and impatient look on his face.
"The kid is blind and has come here while playing ball. It's okay, you guys continue chatting."
A-Lin was sitting on the ground, with obvious footprints on the shoulders of his clothes.
It's pretty obvious who left this place.
Xu Qingyan frowned and looked at Hu Chen who looked disdainful.
At the same time, Zhao Yuanji came around from behind and smiled awkwardly.
"I'm sorry, Hu Chen is a martial artist, so he's a bit rough. Don't mind it... I'll use silver to compensate them."
Zhao Yuanji was the first to notice the unhappy expressions that flashed across Xu Qingyan and Pei Yu almost at the same time.
In his view, class reasons make many things seem ordinary.
For example, treating ordinary people like straw dogs is an advantage brought by status, and it is also a tacit understanding of many people.
There is nothing wrong with that.
However, this kind of thing inevitably left a bad impression on these two people, such as being arrogant and domineering, and neglecting their subordinates.
After all, it was not good, so Zhao Yuanji, who was observant of the situation, immediately made a remedy.
Pei Yu didn't think there was anything wrong. Her dissatisfaction was only because of the disdainful attitude of this man named Hu Chen, as if he did it specifically for them to see.
But Xu Qingyan is different.
He smiled and looked at Zhao Yuanji.
"Then he won't do anything?"
Zhao Yuanji was stunned for a moment, seemingly not understanding what Xu Qingyan meant.
Xu Qingyan passed by Hu Chen and, under his narrowed eyes, he helped A Lin up from the ground, then reached out and patted the dust off the boy's shoulders.
Under the boy's fearful gaze, he asked softly.
"Did he kick you?"
Ah Lin looked at Xu Qingyan tremblingly, then glanced at the ferocious Hu Chen over there, and suddenly dared not speak.
He just tightly grasped Xu Qingyan's sleeve, and the situation was already obvious.
Hu Chen seemed to understand something when he saw the handsome young man's behavior. He couldn't help but said with a smile.
"Master, do you want me to apologize to this little brat?"
Xu Qingyan naturally looked at Hu Chen.
"Don't you need to apologize when you do something wrong?"
Pei Yu narrowed her eyes. She didn't know why Xu Qingyan wanted to cause trouble at this time. Although she didn't have a good impression of this Tiger Minister, at least she had a good chat with his master Zhao Yuanji before. Basically, they became partners after taking one step.
She could only understand that this was Xu Qingyan's attempt to test him. She didn't think that this young man would really do such a childish thing just because he saw injustice.
Hu Chen said with a smile, "Master... that doesn't make sense. My responsibility is to guard the door. If someone is blind enough to come here, of course I have to stop them."
"He is just a child, at an age of innocence and childishness, full of infinite kindness and beautiful imagination about the world. He thinks that the world is beautiful, but there are people who want to be such evil people. If you were this child, would you still say that now?"
Hu Chen's face looked a little unhappy.
He frowned and said, "What if I refuse to apologize? Will the Taoist priest be implicated because of this child?"
It was a provocation before, but now it's a threat.
Zhao Yuanji saw that something was wrong, and he immediately smiled and calmed down.
"That immortal master, how about..."
But before he could finish his words, Xu Qingyan stood up and walked towards Hu Chen.
The action was not very fast, but it also left Zhao Yuanji with no chance of stopping it.
But the sturdy man had time to react. He just raised his hand and thought he saw Xu Qingyan's movements clearly.
But it was just his self-perception.
"Puff!"
Zhao Yuanji was dazzled, but the sturdy man knelt on the ground, and Xu Qingyan held his shoulders.
His face looked like he was struggling, with beads of sweat the size of soybeans running down his forehead.
With a ferocious expression, Hu Chen knelt in front of Xu Qingyan, facing the frightened child.
Xu Qingyan's voice was very cold.
"I don't care about cause and effect. You don't have to think that it will become my handle. All I want you to do now is to apologize."
Zhao Yuanji was stunned for a moment, and saw Xu Qingyan's cold face, then he gritted his teeth and said to Hu Chen who looked very dissatisfied.
"Apologize, Huchen."
Hu Chen was stunned for a moment, gritting his teeth but unable to turn his head to look at the boy who was holding his shoulders from behind.
He could only look at the child in front of him with hatred and said.
"Yes, sorry!"
Ah Lin trembled and looked at Xu Qingyan.
Xu Qingyan smiled at him and said, "Are you apologizing or are you trying to scare me? Is it okay to apologize with a smile?"
"Don't go too far! Ah...!"
