Chapter 1039: The Anti-Traitor Conference (XIX)
A fragrant breeze blew towards me, and a graceful white figure suddenly appeared.

Xiao Zhirou used her thin and petite body to resolutely protect the burly Liu Xunyi, with her arms spread out like a "hen protecting her chicks", and stood in front of him regardless of everything.

Staring blankly at Xiao Zhirou's slim back, for the first time in his life he felt someone risking their life to protect him. Liu Xunyi immediately threw away his regret and resentment towards Qingfeng, and replaced it with complicated feelings towards Xiao Zhirou.

This chaotic feeling of desire and resistance, familiarity and strangeness, intimacy and alienation, made him fall into a trance uncontrollably.

Once upon a time, when he was wandering the streets begging for food in the cold winter, how much he longed to be in his mother's arms? When he was practicing martial arts in the scorching heat and severe cold, how much he longed to act like a spoiled child to his mother? When he woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, how much he longed to be comforted by his mother? When he was ridiculed, insulted, and bullied, when he dragged his scarred body to eat leftovers, when he encountered difficulties and could not get any help from heaven or earth, and could only bear it alone and shed tears silently, how much he longed to be like other children... to shout "Mom" at the top of his voice.

However, when the scene he had imagined countless times in his dreams really appeared in front of him, Liu Xunyi was somewhat caught off guard, somewhat panicked, somewhat timid, and somewhat at a loss as to what to do...

The thousands of heartwarming scenes of "family reunion" that I had once imagined in my dreams all disappeared without a trace at this moment.

Perhaps it was because his dream came true too suddenly, and he was caught completely off guard, his mind went blank, and he didn't know how to believe what he saw? How to deal with the situation? How to accept... his mother?
"hiss!"

As the crowd exclaimed, Xiao Zhirou quickly waved her hands, causing her long sleeves to dance in the air, which transformed into two sharp streams of energy, one on the left and one on the right, heading straight for the whistling sun and moon.

"Bang! Bang!"

Gu Ri and Gu Yue each used their strength to resist Xiao Zhirou's attack, but at Qing Feng's call, they withdrew their attacks and flew far away several feet away.

It seemed that their "attack" on Liu Xunyi just now was just a posturing to show their attitude, and they were not really willing to fight to the death.

"I……"

"Don't worry! Don't say the sky won't fall. Even if it does, I'll hold it up for you."

Compared to the anxious and hesitant Liu Xunyi, Xiao Zhirou was neither embarrassed nor shy. She looked at the dishevelled and bloodstained Liu Xunyi with pity in her eyes, and then, under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, she tore a piece of brocade from her dress without hesitation and carefully wiped the dirt off Liu Xunyi's face.

Then, in front of everyone's incredulous gazes, she tore off strips of silk from her skirt and carefully and meticulously bandaged Liu Xunyi's wound.

Xiao Zhirou, who always covered her face with a white veil and never revealed her true appearance, today disregarded her feminine modesty in order to take care of Liu Xunyi, and did not hesitate to expose her icy beauty to the world.

Haotian is so kind and loves his son deeply... While the scene is touching, no one doubts their mother-son relationship anymore.

Seeing this scene, the disciples of Jueqing Valley, led by Chang Wuhui, rushed forward, scrambled to take off their outer cloaks, and hurriedly put them on Xiao Zhirou and Liu Xunyi.

At this moment, Yun Zhuiyue, who was sitting on the sidelines and watching everything silently, suddenly clenched his fists until they made a crackling sound, and his eyes became increasingly sinister.

"Let me see quickly, are you injured anywhere from the fight with Qingfeng just now?"

"Xiao...you don't have to do this, I'm fine..."

Facing Xiao Zhirou's worry-ridden and caring attitude, Liu Xunyi felt both moved and confused.

For more than 20 years, he had been licking his wounds alone, and suddenly someone was caring for him in every possible way, which made him feel uncomfortable.

"Humph! Like mother, like son!"

Just when the situation was changing strangely and people were in confusion, Ling Xiaoxiao's sarcastic voice rang out quietly, which immediately made everyone's heart startled and they all looked at her in astonishment.

"As a mother, you have fallen into depravity and shamelessness. You only seduce married men. The son you gave birth to is also mean-spirited and cunning. He only knows how to attack secretly." Ling Xiaoxiao glared at Xiao Zhirou and Liu Xunyi fiercely, and cursed them without any respect. "As the saying goes, 'People from the same family don't enter the same door.' It seems that... you are really a real family. A family of hypocrisy, a family full of evil intentions, a family of meanness, a family of shamelessness... Xiao Zhirou, Liu Xunyi, how did I, Ling Xiaoxiao, offend you? As a mother, "You have seduced my husband and destroyed my family. Your son is even more abominable. Not only did he sneak into the Xianwang Mansion to plot and kill my husband, but he also wantonly played with my daughter's feelings, causing her temperament to change drastically and disappear for no reason. Now, you are using all means to slander my father's reputation and want to put him to death... What is your intention? You have already destroyed my family, how far do you want to harm me before you are willing to give up?" Ling Xiaoxiao's almost crazy and miserable wails made the scalps of the panicked people numb and their hair stand on end.

Qingfeng and Ling Xiaoxiao sang the same tune, turning the "victim" who had suffered all kinds of injustice into a "perpetrator" who bullied the weak without realizing it.

Such an absurd scene that was laughable to the whole world actually took place in broad daylight.

What’s even more terrible is that in the face of this “farce” that blatantly distorted facts and turned black into white, not only did no one stand up to correct the wrongs, but instead it won “applause”.

Seeing that everyone around them looked at each other in silence, it seemed that they had gradually agreed with Qingfeng's slander against Liu Xunyi. Xie Xuan, Xunzhen, Teng Sanshi, Qin Ku and others all felt abrupt and looked conflicted.

"Ling Xiaoxiao, you will eventually perish if you do too much evil! More than 20 years ago, you plotted to harm me and sent people to hunt me down, but today you are so shameless and make false accusations against my mother and me. You are totally devoid of conscience and hopeless." Before the angry Liu Xunyi could retort, Xiao Zhirou spoke first, "Well, let's settle the old and new grudges today and see if I deserve to die or you deserve to be killed?"

"you……"

"You always shout for war and killing, you are indeed a heretic devil, it's hard to change your evil nature." Qingfeng waved his hand to interrupt Ling Xiaoxiao's rebuttal, staring fearlessly at the indignant Liu Xunyi and Xiao Zhirou, putting on a righteous look, "Liu Xunyi, I already know from the fight with you just now that you are no longer the same as before, and your skills have greatly improved. I also admit... I am not your opponent. But what can I do? As the old saying goes, 'A righteous man has many supporters, while an unrighteous man has few supporters.' Even if you are the best in martial arts, if you lose your kindness and morality, and dare to risk the world's disapproval... you will still be despised by the righteous people, and you will still cut yourself off from the world. In the end, no matter how powerful you are, you will still be despised by the righteous people, and you will still be cut off from the world. It's just that there is one more brutal and murderous demon in the Central Plains Wulin! Throughout history, there are countless martial arts demons like you who are cruel and violent and kill innocent people. Heroes in the world have long been accustomed to it. How about the "Peach Blossom Immortal" in the past? How about Ren Wuya and Yuwen Xiu in the past? Which one of them was not ambitious? Which one of them was not ruthless? But in the end... Which one of them ended up well? And which one of them could shake the foundation of the Central Plains Wulin? No! Not one! Because the devil is one foot high and the Tao is ten feet high. Evil demons like you... will never be able to defeat the famous and upright sects."

"Since ancient times, evil has never triumphed over good. Leader Qingfeng said it well!"

"If you have the guts, let Liu Xunyi kill us all. Otherwise, we will never betray you."

"As people from the Central Plains martial arts world, we must share the same hatred and the same enemy with the leader of the Central Plains martial arts world, and we will live and die together."

……

I don't know if they were instructed by someone or if they were blinded by loyalty, but some people around were already bewitched by Qingfeng's "big talk" and their blood was boiling, and they couldn't help but agree with him loudly.

This scene made the situation of Liu Xunyi's group even more passive.

"Until now, I am still the upright leader of the Central Plains Wulin. As the saying goes, 'Do your job when you are in the position.' I admit that I am not very talented and knowledgeable, and indeed I am not as skilled as others, but I would rather die than bow down to foreigners, let alone the scum of the Wulin. As long as I am alive, I will never allow you and your cronies to stir up trouble in the Central Plains Wulin and do whatever you want!" Qingfeng continued to incite, "Do you think that you can take over the magpie's nest by killing me? Do you think that you can take over the magpie's nest by killing me? "You think you can clear your name? Do you think that if you kill me, no one will pursue your crimes? Liu Xunyi, you are wrong! You can kill me, or you can wipe out Wudang like you slaughtered the Gan family. But I tell you, even if I and all the Wudang disciples die in your hands, the heroes of the world will not bow to the strong, let alone surrender to the traitors. They will definitely elect the second, third, and fourth leader of the martial arts world... We swear to fight to the end with you, the unkind, unjust, and unruly people who have no king or father, and the foxy and monkey-climbing people, until death!"

It was obviously a bunch of nonsense, but he could speak in a high-sounding and righteous manner. Qingfeng's hypocrisy was unbelievable to Liu Xunyi, who could not catch up with him.

In the past, he only knew that Qingfeng was selfish and cruel, which was very different from the highly respected and non-confrontational person in the eyes of the world.

Even so, Liu Xunyi still wishfully believes that Qingfeng, as a martial arts elder and the head of a sect, should at least consider his own dignity. He may be selfish, vicious, or cunning, but he should not be a clown, and he should not seek popularity without any bottom line.

However, Liu Xunyi never expected that Qingfeng was truly a rotten rag on the inside. This person was not only vicious, but also shameless and despicable. Especially his disgusting face of talking nonsense in a serious manner and against his conscience was even more disgusting than the street scoundrel who was throwing tantrums and making trouble.

The leader of the Central Plains martial arts world could actually act in such a despicable way, which once again subverted Liu Xunyi's perception.

Are those who hold high positions necessarily upright people with high moral character and integrity?
Are those who are insignificant and have little influence necessarily mortals with mediocre ears and eyes and dull bones?

The measure of success and failure, righteousness and evil, good and evil, right and wrong that people all over the world have devoted their entire lives to defend... Is it the eternal and unchanging benevolence of heaven? Or... is it a huge lie that the superiors wantonly fabricated to deceive the world?
