I'm the villain in the book

Page 224

There was a brief silence in the dark room.

One person, one sword, and one dead body are relatively silent, and the scene is quite weird.

But soon the remnant soul in Xuantian Sword seemed to understand something, suddenly laughed and said:

"Jie Jie Jie Jie!"

"Use other people's life essence to wake up the old man, boy, you are a ruthless person!"

"But this temperament is indeed more to my liking than Xiao Feng's!"

"Is it?"

Wei Changtian sat down cross-legged, stared at Xuantianjian who was trembling slightly and said: "Senior, you just said that you just woke up once half a year ago... Xiao Feng woke you up at that time?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense!"

The remnant soul bluffed and said: "Since you know the way to wake me up, it can only be that Xiao Feng told you about the old man."

"By the way, where is that kid Xiao Feng?"

"Why is the Xuantian Sword in your hands?"

"Ha ha."

Wei Changtian didn't answer directly, but asked again on his own: "Senior, last time Xiao Feng called you out, but asked you to help kill a person named Wei Changtian?"

"Ok?"

Remnant Soul's tone was somewhat disdainful: "So what?"

"not so good."

Wei Changtian shook his head, and after a short pause, he said with a playful smile:

"Senior, I am Wei Changtian."

Chapter 257

"Boom!"

The muffled thunder squeezed into the room along the gap of the hidden door, endlessly.

The black long sword was inserted vertically in front of him, and the tip of the sword penetrated three inches into the ground.

All the blood that the skinny man spewed on it just now has slid down along the sword body, forming a small pool of blood on the ground, which occasionally ripples with the vibration of the Xuantian sword.

"you say......"

The voice of the remnant soul lowered a tone in an instant: "You are Wei Changtian?"

"senior."

Wei Changtian sneered, "Do I have to lie to you?"

"..."

The remnant soul paused for a moment, and his tone became more gloomy.

"So...Xiao Feng is dead?"

"of course."

"Hmph! Boy! Are you so easy to deceive when you are an old man? You must know that at that time, this old man..."

"Are five second-rank masters to help Xiao Feng?"

Wei Changtian squinted his eyes and interrupted: "Senior, I'm sorry, those five people are already dead."

"what?!"

The Xuantian Sword became black in an instant, and the old voice was full of shock: "Dead?! This is impossible!!"

"impossible?"

Wei Changtian clapped his palms and laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, Senior Ji, you sent them to kill me. Now that I'm still alive, they must die."

"Could it be that you don't understand this truth?"

"Bah! You don't want to deceive the old man!"

The remnant soul wanted to argue cursingly, but suddenly stopped in the next moment.

"Wait a minute! How did you know that my husband's surname is Ji?!"

"Senior Ji, not only do I know your last name..."

Wei Changtian leaned forward, stretched out his hand and picked up a finger of blood.

"I also know that you have been trapped in this Xuantian sword for more than [-] years, and I also know that you once created Kuilong."

"You know Kuilong?!"

This time, the remnant soul could no longer keep calm, and his tone suddenly became horrified.

"Who told you?!"

"Who told me... Let's talk about this later."

Wei Changtian smiled, and his inner strength came out through his body, blasting the blood on his fingertips into a small cloud of blood mist.

After the bright red mist, the slightly raised corners of the mouth still held the same slight smile from beginning to end.

"Senior Ji, I want to make a deal with you."

......

......

"Squeak~"

Half an hour later, Wei Changtian opened the door and walked out of the dark room.

"Son."

Chu Xianping, who had been waiting outside the door, immediately took two steps closer and waved his hand to signal the others to back down.

"An hour ago, there was information from the same boat association that Yuanzhou is at war."

"Yeah... got it."

Wei Changtian's reaction was quite calm, his eyes barely changed.

"Brother Chu, send someone to clean up the corpses in the house, and then you can go back first."

"I need to think alone."

"......Yes."

Chu Xianping turned his head to look at the dead body lying in the room, and nodded.

He was about to leave to arrange this matter, but Wei Changtian suddenly stopped him before he took a step.

"Brother Chu, if I told you that there are already rank-[-] masters outside of Daning, or even more than one... what would you think?"

"..."

Chu Xianping stopped suddenly, and looked back at Wei Changtian who looked serious.

In his previous cognition, Yipin has always been just a realm of "hope but not reach".

Just like the moon in the water and the flower in the mirror, you are sure of its existence, but you will never be able to touch it.

So if there is really a living first-grade master...

"Son."

Chu Xianping said with a calm expression: "I opened my veins when I was five years old, and I opened 64 of 61 pulses. I feel that I am very talented, and I will definitely become a master in the world in the future."

"Two years later, I went up to the mountain to learn from my master, and none of my brothers in the school were as good as me, but my master said that there are countless people in this world who are more talented than me."

"I was not convinced back then, thinking that Master was lying to me and wanted to use this method to encourage me to practice hard."

"But when I was ten years old, the master brought back a little junior from the mountain and asked me to fight against him."

"I tried my best to shoot at this person, but he just flicked his arm and threw me three feet away."

"It's only now that I believe that there are people with all 64 meridians in this world, and I really understand the truth that there are people outside people, and there is heaven beyond heaven."

"So even if there is a master in Outland, it's not a big deal."

"..."

In just a few sentences, it tells a very ordinary story, but it clearly expresses Chu Xianping's attitude towards the world.

In all fairness, for the "indigenous people" living in such a world without news, television, and the Internet, where the speed of information transmission is extremely slow and closed, it is really rare to have this kind of vision.

But Wei Changtian looked at Chu Xianping without appreciation, and after pondering for a moment, he just said softly in a rather complicated tone:

"Brother Chu, if I tell you that besides first-rank masters, there are..."

"Rumble!"

The sound of thunder outside the house was still the same, suddenly rushing and surging, like waves frightened at night.

After another roar, Wei Changtian didn't continue talking.

"Forget it, it's pointless."

"..."

This seems to be said to Chu Xianping, but it seems to be said to himself.

Wei Changtian reached out and patted Chu Xianping's shoulder, shook his head and turned to leave, leaving the latter standing alone.

So... what else is there in this world?

Chu Xianping kept repeating Wei Changtian's last unfinished sentence in his mind.

Can never think of the answer.

......

......

The capital, Daning Imperial Palace, Shiqu Pavilion.

What Wei Changtian talked about with the remnant soul in Xuantian Sword, and what deal he made is still unknown.

But since it is "meaningless", it means that this matter is still far away from him for the time being.

Although it is said that people must have foresight, not short-sightedness.

But in fact, the reason why many people are mediocre is not because their vision is not long enough, but precisely because their vision is always far away.

People always have to solve the current problems first, and then they are qualified to think about longer-term plans.

Wei Changtian thought so, and Ning Yongnian did the same.

"..."

"My dear friends, I have called you into the palace tonight because I want to hear your thoughts on something."

After writing the case, Ning Yongnian looked at the eight important ministers standing in front of him with extremely serious expressions.

"This matter is of great importance, it is related to the fate of our country in Daning, and it is also related to the lives of tens of thousands of people."

"So, I just want to hear the truth."

"Do you understand?"

"..."

"Go back to the emperor, I will understand!"

A chorus of responses sounded immediately, but there was the same doubt in everyone's voice.

They are all well-known "neutral factions" in the court. Whether it was when Liu Weixu was "three-legged" before or when Daning was in chaos inside and outside, they had never done anything to form a party for personal gain.

At least, it has never been done on the surface.

And as for the doubt in Cai Cai's tone...

There were eight people in total, and three of them really didn't know why Ning Yongnian called him here in the middle of the night.

But the other five people are all aware of it.
