Chapter 384: The Apathetic Xi Men Chuixue
Chapter 384: The Apathetic Xi Men Chuixue
As soon as Su Shaoying finished speaking, she felt a sharp aura piercing towards her back.
"Of course, that is the path of evil." Su Shaoying said indifferently, "The righteous path is to be a good wife, to let him experience the intense emotions of the mortal world. After all, who can remain unmoved by love and desire?"
"What qualifications do you have to discuss my path when you haven't even found your own?" Xi Men Chuixue's cold voice came from behind Su Shaoying.
"Because you are our Emei Sect's son-in-law." Su Shaoying turned around, "Isn't it reasonable for a family to care about their son-in-law's well-being?"
Xi Men Chuixue was taken aback. He had never encountered this kind of situation before, and it never occurred to him that Su Shaoying would use their relationship as in-laws to get closer to him.
"By the way, when are you planning to return to Emei to pay your respects?" Su Shaoying smiled, "Last time you almost killed my master. This time, you should at least pay your respects and offer a cup of tea, right?"
Xi Men Chuixue, "..."
"If he wants to drink my tea, he can come to Wan Mei Manor himself." Xi Men Chuixue said indifferently, unaffected by worldly customs or Su Shaoying's attempts to get close to him.
How could he be expected to act like a typical son-in-law and return to his wife's family? Never!
Su Shaoying nodded as if she understood, and continued, "But what if Emei faces a crisis? Would you step in?"
Sun Xiqing was startled and asked anxiously, "What happened? Is there an enemy that Master cannot handle?"
Xi Men Chuixue looked over as well. Although he appeared cold, he was not without emotion.
"Don't worry, I'm just asking casually." Su Shaoying said, "There are rumors of activity from the Western Demon Cult beyond the border, with the appearance of Luo Cha's token in the Central Plains. However, the specifics are unclear. Since the Jade Rakshasa has a formidable reputation, Master is also taking this matter seriously."
Xi Men Chuixue replied indifferently, "The Western Demon Cult has dominated the Western Regions for two or three decades, and the Jade Rakshasa is already an old woman."
Hua Manlou's eyebrows rose, and he immediately understood, "So, this unusual activity from the Western Demon Cult is either because the Jade Rakshasa has lost her mind or there's internal strife within the cult."
Ma Xiuzhen's eyes shifted, connecting Xi Men Chuixue and Hua Manlou's words, "The biggest variable is the loss of the Demon Cult Leader."
Who says people in the martial arts world don't use their brains?
In fact, Xi Men Chuixue and Hua Manlou's sharpness and perceptiveness were no less than that of Lu Xiao Feng. It was Su Shaoying who, knowing the original plot, didn't think deeply about it and pretended to be unaware, which made her seem less intelligent.
With this inference, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
The reputation of the Jade Rakshasa was so great that it had cast a shadow over them.
"I heard that under the Western Demon Cult, there are also the Three Friends of Suhuan, who used to be at the peak of Kunlun, Daguangming Realm, and Xiaotianlong Cave. Their sword techniques are divine. Aren't you interested?" Su Shaoying asked Xi Men Chuixue.
"Not interested." Xi Men Chuixue replied without hesitation.
"If you're not interested in them, then you must not be interested in another peerless swordsman who is unmatched except for you and Ye Gucheng?" Su Shaoying asked.
Xi Men Chuixue said indifferently, "There are countless swordsmen in the world. It's quite normal."
Su Shaoying blinked, "Don't you have any desire to compete?"
"Competitiveness only leads to restlessness and agitation. It brings harm and no benefit. Why should I have such desires?" Xi Men Chuixue looked at Su Shaoying, "You don't have them either."
"I don't have a competitive spirit?" Su Shaoying asked.
Xi Men Chuixue said indifferently, "If you had a competitive spirit, you wouldn't have dodged Ye Gucheng's sword in the capital."
Su Shaoying said earnestly, "I couldn't have caught that sword anyway!"
Xi Men Chuixue coldly smiled, "I don't believe that.
Xi Men Chuixue replied, "I always feel like he's plotting something against me."
"I'm not! I didn't! Don't spread baseless accusations!" Su Shaoying quickly denied.
"You want me to go and cause trouble for another swordsman," Xi Men Chuixue stated.
Su Shaoying chuckled, "You saw through all of this?"
"Who is it?" asked Hua Manlou.
"The honest monk should know," replied Su Shaoying.
Hua Manlou's curiosity was piqued, "You don't even know who he is?"
"He's probably someone from the Taiping Wangfu, and also a master from the unnamed island of an overseas force," Su Shaoying explained.
Ma Xiuzhen exclaimed in surprise, "The invisible man from Wuming Island, the swordsman who killed Jia Leshan?"
Su Shaoying nodded, "There aren't too many peerless swordsmen in this world, and the honest monk also seems to be wary of him. I believe they are one and the same."
In Jiangnan, the mysterious force had killed Ouyang Yue and Jia Leshan. Nangong Chuan had learned some details about these incidents from the honest monk.
In the capital, Su Shaoying had noticed an unparalleled swordsman among the carriages of the Taiping Wangfu. The honest monk had immediately left upon seeing that carriage at the south gate.
Ma Xiuzhen had personally experienced both of these incidents and immediately connected them.
She then recounted the story to everyone present.
"The Wangfu again," Shi Xiuxue murmured, "Why are there so many experts in the Wangfu? First, Ye Gucheng, then the master from the Hainan Sword Sect, and now this mysterious swordsman..."
"That little girl is suspicious!" Hua Manlou suddenly interjected.
Everyone turned to Hua Manlou, who continued, "Although the honest monk has his secrets, he truly is an honest monk. He wouldn't go and meddle in a prostitute's business for no reason."
"A little prostitute like that wouldn't even be allowed out, let alone block the honest monk's path," Xi Men Chuixue added.
Hua Manlou turned to Su Shaoying, "The honest monk compensated Lu Xiaofeng with that woman, so did you guess that Lu Xiaofeng is about to face trouble?"
Xi Men Chuixue said indifferently, "You don't want to get involved, but you want to watch the show. Yet, you're worried Lu Xiaofeng will suffer, so you want me to step in?"
"Do you have to be so smart?" Su Shaoying sighed, "You're all smarter than Lu Xiaofeng, so why is he the one famous for his wit?"
Hua Manlou laughed, "Because he's a kind person."
Lu Xiaofeng would never suspect a hardworking young woman of having malicious intentions.
"But anyone who tries to scheme against Lu Xiaofeng underestimates him," Hua Manlou continued, "When Lu Xiaofeng is at his sharpest, he's more perceptive than any of us."
However, Xi Men Chuixue succinctly stated, "It's because he loves to meddle in other people's business."
Everyone laughed at his words.
Hua Manlou looked at Su Shaoying, "Do you have a plan?"
"How could I? I've only noticed a few clues," Su Shaoying replied, "I've realized that Fang Yfei seems to be connected to the Taiping Wangfu as well. He seems to know the person in that carriage."
Hua Manlou was aware that Lu Xiaofeng and Fang Yfei had left together, and now he asked, "How did you find that out?"
"Of course, it's because..." Su Shaoying started to explain.
Ma Xiuzhen interrupted with a strange expression, "Could it be because Fang Yfei is also Lu Xiaofeng's friend?"
