Chapter 1139: Unforgettable Grace
"hiss!"

When Yun Jianping said this, everyone around him was shocked and took a deep breath.

Chang Wuhui, Feng Wuxin and other disciples of Jueqing Valley saw Tang Afu in danger and quickly drew their swords.

However, when they had pulled out half of the sword, they suddenly realized that the person in front of them was Xiao Zhirou's precious daughter, the eldest lady of the Jueqing Valley. As disciples of the Jueqing Valley, how dare they act recklessly?
For a moment, Chang Wuhui and the others didn't know how to put their half-drawn swords back, nor how to draw them out. They just stared at each other in embarrassment.

In fact, with Tang Afu's martial arts, it would be easy for him to take the blade from Yun Jianping's hand, but he had to endure it silently because of Xiao Zhirou's feelings and Yun Jianping's identity. He let the cold sword press tightly against his neck, but he did not dodge or avoid it, and did not move at all.

At this moment, there are probably quite a few people who have the same thoughts as Tang Afu.

When Xiao Zhirou saw that Yun Jianping's face was not only filled with anger but also had traces of tears, her heart sank and an ominous premonition quickly surged into her heart.

While the others were at a loss of what to do due to the sudden change, Xiao Zhirou, who was worried about her daughter, was the first to calm down. She walked carefully to the side of the angry Yun Jianping and asked in the most relaxed tone possible: "Ping'er, what...what are you doing?"

"Yes!" Teng Sanshi gradually came back to his senses, quickly suppressed the sadness between his brows, forced a smile, and pretended to be curious and concerned, "Girl, why... did you come here instead of taking a good rest in your room?"

"Is this a dangerous place? Why can't I come here?"

"This……"

Yun Jianping's angry question left Xiao Zhirou and Teng Sanshi speechless. The father and daughter looked at each other, their eyes full of melancholy.

"Um... you just said someone wanted to kill your father. I don't know where you got that from? The Northern Sage King is no longer alive, so how could he be killed?"

"Master Xie, you clearly know who I'm talking about, so why do you have to pretend to be ignorant?" Yun Jianping sneered at Xie Xuan for changing the subject, and said unhappily, "You don't have to bother making up stories to lie to me, Uncle Wuming has told me everything!" Yun Jianping glared at her almond eyes with crystal tears, and pressed the sword in her hand against Tang Afu's neck again, "My brother... No! It was Liu Xunyi who wanted to drive away my father and the uncles and brothers of Longxiang Mountain. He deliberately provoked the relationship between my father and me, and cruelly separated us, intending to prevent our father and daughter from meeting each other for the rest of our lives."

"nameless?"

Hearing this, everyone who was full of doubts suddenly realized that Yun Jianping's sudden appearance was not a coincidence, and her extreme behavior was not nonsense, but was instigated by Wuming, one of the four guardians of Longxiang Mountain.

As for why Wuming told Yun Jianping everything and did not hesitate to embellish Liu Xunyi? No one needs to guess the reason behind it. It must be Yun Zhuiyue's clever arrangement.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhirou and Teng Sanshi couldn't help but get angry, and their faces became increasingly gloomy.

It seemed that they were very dissatisfied with Yun Zhuiyue's unscrupulous approach to achieve his goals, especially the fact that he was willing to destroy the brother-sister relationship between Liu Xunyi and Yun Jianping in order to change Liu Xunyi's mind, which made Xiao Zhirou and Teng Sanshi even more angry.

"Ping'er, the situation is not as serious as Wuming said, and your brother is not as cold-blooded as you think." Xiao Zhirou put her hand on Yun Jianping's shoulder, restraining her complicated emotions while patiently persuading her, "Wuming is lying and is clearly trying to provoke you. Don't believe everything you hear. Xunyi has suffered so much over the years, and Yun Zhuiyue... has an unshirkable responsibility. It is natural for your brother to resent him. Be obedient! Put down the sword, and I will explain this matter to you slowly."

"Liu Xunyi is your flesh and blood, am I not?" Yun Jianping bit her lips stubbornly, trying not to let her tears flow down, "Why do you only care about his thoughts, but are unwilling to consider my feelings? Have you ever thought that I was raised by my father, and he has treated me like his own daughter for so many years, and has never let me suffer any hardship or grievance. No matter how much you resent him or hate him, you can't erase his kindness in raising me. In your eyes, he may be an unforgivable villain. But in my eyes, he will always be my dearest who raised me, took care of me, and loved me."

"Ping'er, your words... are simply breaking my heart." Seeing Yun Jianping misunderstand her, Xiao Zhirou felt sad and wronged. "You and Xunyi are both my flesh and blood. You are both my flesh and blood. You are always in my heart... I worry about you equally and love you equally. How can I favor one over the other?"

"In this case, I don't want you to be embarrassed." Yun Jianping wiped away the tears from her eyes with her sleeves, and then slowly retracted her sword under Xiao Zhirou's trembling eyes, and said to Tang Afu resolutely, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor! I won't embarrass you, call Liu Xunyi out, I want to ask him face to face!"

"Miss Yun, Brother Liu's injuries have not healed yet..."

"What do you mean by unhealed injuries? If he can go and threaten others, how can he not even leave the door?" Pan Yuyin wanted to mediate, but was interrupted by Yun Jianping. "If it was Uncle Wuming who was making trouble, why didn't you let Uncle Tang and the other three in? If this is false, why did Liu Xunyi avoid meeting the people from Longxiang Mountain? I'm not smart, but I'm not a fool. How could I not see such an obvious target?"

"This……"

"I will never give up until this matter is made clear!" Yun Jianping suddenly raised her voice, not knowing whether she was saying this on purpose for Liu Xunyi in the inner court to hear. "If you insist on stopping Liu Xunyi from meeting the people from Longxiang Mountain, I can only believe Uncle Wuming's words that Liu Xunyi is sincerely trying to separate us father and daughter."

"Ping'er, you..."

"If that's the case, then you guys have no say over whether I stay or go!" Yun Jianping didn't give Teng Sanshi a chance to interrupt, and spoke rapidly, "In short, I'll go wherever my dad goes! Anyway, I've lived without my brother for more than 20 years, and I'm used to it. I don't mind living a few more decades."

"Ping'er, what nonsense are you talking about?" Xiao Zhirou was shocked and angry, and hurried to persuade her, "You and your sister have gone through hardships and finally reunited. How can you say such chilling words now? You actually gave up your brother for Yun Zhuiyue. Are you planning to give up mother too?" "What will mother choose?" Yun Jianping was sad and angry, but her thoughts were unusually clear and her words were very sharp, "If Liu Xunyi and I can only choose one, mother, will you choose me or him?"

"I..." Yun Jianping's words pierced Xiao Zhirou's heart, leaving her speechless.

"Ping'er, don't be rude to your mother!"

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Teng Sanshi became even more angry. He turned to look at Xie Xuan and Tang Afu who remained silent, and said in a deep voice: "What? Things have come to this point, are you still determined to stop it?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! What a sharp-tongued girl!" Qin Ku, who had been watching from the sidelines, approached Chang Wuhui and Feng Wuxin and teased them in a sarcastic voice, "She looks like a well-behaved girl on weekdays, but I never thought she has such a fierce side. Do you think she inherited this fierceness from Yun Zhuiyue or Luo Tianjin?"

Qin Ku's words immediately attracted a lot of resentful looks, and he could only smile awkwardly as he felt he was asking for trouble.

"Forget it! It seems that if we don't let them see Xunyi today, this matter may not end." After hesitating for a moment, Xie Xuan finally made up his mind and expressed his attitude positively, "Xunyi may not care about Longxiang Mountain, but he can't care about Yun Jianping. If the brother and sister are really alienated, it will definitely be a loss for Xunyi."

"That's right!" Seeing Xie Xuan give in, Teng Sanshi was secretly delighted, and quickly took the opportunity to agree, and pointed the finger at Tang Afu, "Quickly get out of the way and let them in..."

"no need!"

Before Teng Sanshi finished speaking, a voice full of bitterness and helplessness quietly rang in everyone's ears. Then, Liu Xunyi, dressed in plain clothes and a black robe, walked with a lazy and hesitant pace and slowly appeared in front of everyone.

"Xun Yi, why are you..."

"Thank you, Mr. Xie, there's no need to say more. I heard everything Ping'er said just now."

Liu Xunyi waved her hand to interrupt Xie Xuan's concern, and then gently pushed away Tang Afu who was blocking the door. She looked around with her calm black eyes, and swept over Xie Xuan who was hesitant to speak, Teng Sanshi who was full of worry, Xiao Zhirou who was sad, Qin Ku who was excited, Pan Yuyin who was panicked, and Chang Wuhui and other disciples of Jueqing Valley who were looking at each other, and finally looked at Yun Jianping who was standing there angrily with a sword in his hand, with a determined look on his face and anger still not subsided.

It is worth mentioning that even though the current situation is so tense, Liu Xunyi still ignores Li Haitang, Tang Xuan and Si Wudao who are standing on the steps.

It seemed that Yun Jianping's fuss did not shake his determination to draw a clear line between himself and Yun Zhuiyue.

Liu Xunyi's sudden appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention and made the originally noisy scene silent.

At this moment, even some guests in Danfeng Garden who had nothing to do with this matter were attracted over, but they only dared to watch the fun from afar and no one dared to get too close.

Seeing that the matter was getting bigger and bigger and more and more people were trying to get involved, Xie Xuan originally planned to propose going in to negotiate, but he was unsure of Liu Xunyi's attitude towards Longxiang Mountain, so he didn't dare to speak rashly.

"Yu'er, do you still need to hold a sword in front of your brother?"

As Liu Xunyi spoke, he stepped over the threshold and stood face to face with Yun Jianping, his expression and tone extremely gentle and kind.

After saying this, Liu Xunyi took the initiative to reach out to take Yun Jianping's sword without waiting for her response.

It was not known whether it was because she was surprised by Liu Xunyi's sudden appearance, or because of the kindness and gentleness Liu Xunyi brought to her that softened her heart, but at this moment Yun Jianping had completely lost the turbulent momentum she had just had. Even the look in her eyes when she looked at Liu Xunyi changed from unyielding anger and determination to pitiful, aggrieved and helpless.

At the same time, Yun Jianping's right hand, which was tightly grasping the sharp blade, loosened slightly uncontrollably, and the sword was taken away by Liu Xunyi.

Yun Jianping knew that with her martial arts skills, whether with a sword or not, she was no match for Liu Xunyi.

But Yun Jianping didn't know that just one look from her, a tear, or a sob could turn steel into something as soft as silk, making it indestructible and more powerful than any other weapon in the world. It could instantly pierce Liu Xunyi's heart that loved his sister.
