Chapter 171 Who is the Villain?
"how about you?"

Xu Shanshan looked at "Wu Yi" again. They met an old friend again. The interesting thing was... she had changed, and Nangong Fei was also completely different now, like two different people.

"He wanted revenge, but why did you?"

Under her gaze, "Wu Xi"'s aura was like a bubble that expanded and burst with a poke.

He was speechless for a moment and couldn't answer for a long time.

...He was still the same as before, always like a reserved student in front of her, and had to choose his words carefully before answering.

"I heard that the Chiyou Palace specifically takes in those who have suffered emotional trauma and lost all love, simply because their palace master was once abandoned..." Having said this, she deliberately paused for a moment to allow him to react.

"Wu Yi", also known as Nangong Fei, suddenly changed his expression.

Xu Shanshan continued, "That's why you founded such a unique sect because of love and hatred. I'm curious, you were so steady and self-controlled back then, how could you find the time to fall in love with someone, and then be abandoned?"

In fact, the temple is not much different from Buddhism. They all need to abide by the clear rules and regulations. All of them, including the great national master, are virgins.

After being teased by her, Wu Xi felt shy, embarrassed, anxious and annoyed. For a moment, it was difficult for others to discern the most correct expression on his face.

But everyone could see that he was suffering but couldn't express it.

At least he couldn't say it in front of Xu Shanshan.

Huai Gu, who was standing next to him, saw this scene and pinched his palm with his fingertips. He said with a fake smile, "Nangong Fei, do you remember what you were doing?"

“Talking about love”, is he worthy of it?
Nangong Fei took a deep breath. Although he now had a woman's face, his expression revealed the sharpness and depth of a man.

"I have no intention of going against... you. I was determined to leave the temple back then. No matter what the final outcome is, it is all my own fault."

"To this day, I don't regret my original choice. I know that I have a mean character and am greedy for love, which goes against the teachings of the temple. I cannot become a saint, so I just want to be an ordinary mortal and get everything I want."

Being ambitious and never satisfied with the status quo seems to be an essential characteristic for every man once he has the ability.

They used the temple and her teachings to acquire skills, and now what they gave back to her was a strong desire to compete with her and not to give in to her.

How similar.

She and these "rebels" she taught.

Xu Shanshan folded her sleeves in front of her stomach, and her posture and demeanor always reminded people of some model of happiness, peace, holiness and solemnity, even though she was vicious and cunning this time, full of murderous intent.

"I won't try to persuade you. Now that I have confirmed your will, there is nothing more to say between us."

There was a subtle change in Xu Shanshan's aura, very subtle and delicate.

Huai Gu's blood froze and his limbs went numb. He knew she was going to take action.

He understood her to some extent. His "Master" always solved problems with his hands and never used words to persuade or admonish her.

"Wait a minute, I want to ask you one last question... Will you go back?" Huai Gu asked meaningfully.

go back?

Xu Shanshan seemed to find this very funny and she also laughed.

But this time, the smile was different from any previous one. It was not the fake smile of an immortal who was not tainted by the dust of the world. Instead, it was as if the skin on his face was torn by a sharp blade, revealing the real flesh and blood underneath.

She said, "Of course I will go back, but... the Grand Master of Jing Country can never go back." They seemed to understand this sentence, but also seemed not to understand it.

Did she mean that she would never restore her reputation and identity, and would just regard the former "Grand Master" as dead?
They looked at the fallen body not far away.

The "Grand Master" was indeed killed by her own hands.

But since she buried her past with her own hands and no longer wanted to be the Grand Master, why did she want to go back?
With what identity and reason would she go back?

Can she go back?

Huai Gu's eyes were moving and his frown seemed to be filled with a slight sorrow. His handsome face was as delicate and charming as that of a woman.

"If you insist on interfering in this chaos, then I will have no choice but to accompany you to the end. I said back then that the world should be unified by someone who is truly capable. His father-in-law is not worthy of it at all, and the so-called orthodoxy is nothing more than a joke."

His mouth was full of sharp words, and although his words were harsh, the look in his eyes when he looked at Xu Shanshan was never cruel, and was always lingering.

Nangong Fei also echoed: "On this point, I agree with him. What Jingguo needs is a strong monarch to end this chaotic struggle."

"It seems that you are all ambitious people who have chosen a wise master to serve. I guess the powerful and capable monarch in your mind should not be the late King Chen, King Jin, and King Yu, but the remaining four kings..."

"No, not only these four kings, but all the remaining traitors will be eliminated one by one..."

She scanned the entire audience with her eyes. The power contained in her calmness made the air around them condense. Even if it was just a brief gaze, they could feel an invisible pressure that penetrated deep into their souls.

"As long as I am here, there will only be one emperor in this world, Emperor Yue."

Everyone held their breath unconsciously, feeling that her declaration was so strong and resolute that it frightened them and they did not dare to have the slightest thought of disobeying.

A tense atmosphere filled the air, as if the air had solidified into a heavy block of lead, pressing on everyone's heart.

When Wei Canghao and the other five hurriedly arrived outside Qihe City, the snow had formed a web, and everything was white and hazy. They followed the sound with one foot high and one foot low to catch up -

Just then, I saw Xu Shanshan standing there alone, thin and slender, like an orchid isolated from the world. In the wind and snow, she looked even more gentle and desolate.

In front of her was a group of people who came with bad intentions. Wu Liyehe recognized that next to her stood a beautiful woman in red, who looked enchanting. Behind her were a group of Taoist magicians scattered everywhere. They were numerous and overwhelmed them with their power.

Who wouldn't call this scene, this situation, and this context a beast when seeing this? Isn't this simply bullying?

No matter how powerful Xu Shanshan is, she is still a human being with flesh and blood. How can she fight against a hundred people alone?

Xu Shanshan sensed the movement behind him and naturally glanced over here. His eyes were like deep pools and his sight happened to fall on Li Yehe. He didn't know why, but his whole body suddenly felt numb as if he had been electrocuted.

"Fan Bai, your name is Fan Bai..."

He was stunned. It was clearly Li Yehe, but she only gave him a look, and it reminded him of all the feelings he had when he was "Fan Bai"...

He found it difficult to look away. It felt as if his heart was shot by an arrow. He was powerless to resist and "drowned" in her eyes.

"Xu Shanshan!"

“Shanshan!”

Wei Canghao, Gu Yuejiarong, Chi Jiangdong and Master Jiashan all called her worriedly and nervously.

Their arrival naturally attracted the attention of Huai Gu and Nangong Fei. When they saw these five men with different styles but all exuding unique charm, they immediately perked up.

Especially the unclear look in their eyes when they looked at Xu Shanshan's back made the alarm bells in their heads ring wildly.
