Chapter 1142: Spoken Words
"I……"

It seemed that she could no longer bear the invisible pressure hanging in the air. When Pan Yuyin, who was heartbroken, made up her mind and spoke with difficulty, she was already panting and sweating profusely.

"I……"

"Yun Zhuiyue has a good method, a soft knife, which really kills people without leaving any blood."

It was unknown how long the eerie silence lasted. Just when Pan Yuyin was determined to make the final decision after much anticipation, Liu Xunyi, who had been watching coldly, finally couldn't stand it anymore and broke the silence first.

His righteous words undoubtedly once again became a ray of light in Pan Yuyin's endless darkness.

It is no exaggeration to say that the moment Liu Xunyi's voice rang out, Pan Yuyin, who was cold and trembling all over, suddenly burst into tears. A warm current swept through her body, washing away the heavy haze that shrouded her. The urge to cry was even stronger and more difficult to suppress than when she had just recalled Pan Chuba.

She knew very well what Liu Xunyi's speaking at this moment would mean, and she also knew that Liu Xunyi's action was tantamount to standing in front of her without hesitation in the midst of a landslide, a raging storm, and raging waves.

At this moment, Pan Yuyin's eyes were filled with tears, but she still stared at Liu Xunyi's figure that was gradually blurred by tears without blinking. She was lost in thought and seemed to have made some kind of decision.

"Looking for clothes is, after all, the Pan family's business..."

"Second Master Xie, what you said is wrong! Si Wudao and Tang Xuan are talking a lot of nonsense in a high-sounding manner, just to force Miss Pan to forgive Longxiangshan for the numerous crimes committed against the Pan family." Liu Xunyi did not give Xie Xuan a chance to dissuade him. His sharp eyes slowly wandered between Si Wudao and Tang Xuan. His momentum was gloomy and terrifying, and his tone was cold and frightening. "Yun Zhuiyue is really good at calculating. He is threatening and tempting at the same time. Now he is taking an unconventional approach and trying to force Miss Pan to submit with a soft knife. Next, is it my turn?"

"What?" Tang Xuan frowned and asked unhappily, "Don't you want Xu Ren to die as an apology?"

"Xu Ren deserved to die, and his death is not a pity! But what I want to see is not Xu Ren's head, or rather... not only Xu Ren's head." Liu Xunyi kicked the head far away with a look of disgust, sneering, "Ha! Who is Xu Ren? How much is his head worth? How can it be compared with the life of Mr. Pan Ba? You are using the head of an unknown villain to fool me and Miss Pan, are you bullying us because we are young?"

"What do you mean, Young Master Liu?" Feeling Liu Xunyi's strong dissatisfaction, Si Wudao couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

"What do you mean? Humph! If the wooden box contained Yun Zhuiyue's head, it would show your sincerity."

"Liu Xunyi, don't be ungrateful!" Liu Xunyi was ruthless, which made Tang Xuan furious. "Since the establishment of Longxiang Mountain, there has never been a precedent of showing weakness to outsiders, and there is no reason to use the lives of disciples to apologize to outsiders. Now, the Holy Lord is concerned about Master Xiao, Master Teng, and his daughter. He disregards his own dignity and the dignity of Longxiang Mountain and condescends to show weakness to you. He has apologized, killed people, and broken the rules. But you are not only inconsiderate, but also push it further. You really don't know what's good for you!"

"You think I will be coerced by you..."

"When looking for clothes, be merciful when you can!"

Seeing that the two sides were at loggerheads and the argument was getting more and more violent, Teng Sanshi hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Liu Xunyi's arm, saying sternly, "Du Xiang... Yun Zhuiyue, no matter how bad he is, he is still a well-known overlord in the martial arts world. Now that he is willing to use Xu Ren's head in exchange for your forgiveness, it is unprecedented. As the saying goes, 'Killing someone is not enough'. Compared to him, you are a junior after all. He has been so humble in front of you. If you continue to be persistent, you will inevitably give people a reason to criticize you."

After saying that, Teng Sanshi quickly winked at Xiao Zhirou, indicating that she should mediate.

However, Xiao Zhirou hesitated again and again, but ultimately said nothing.

Seeing this, Teng Sanshi cast his urgent eyes towards Xie Xuan again and said in a deep voice: "Master Xie, do you think what I said makes sense? Do we have to make a big fuss and start a war? Do we have to sacrifice dozens or hundreds of lives before we will stop?"

"Alliance Leader Teng is absolutely right!" Seeing that Teng Sanshi was really angry, Xie Xuan did not dare to play tricks anymore. He immediately understood what he meant, stepped forward quickly, and echoed, "First, Longxiang Mountain helped us a lot at the Anti-Traitor Conference. Everyone knows this. If we turn against them, outsiders may suspect that we are ungrateful. Second, there are many people in Danfeng Garden, and today's incident will definitely spread quickly. If it gets out, people with ulterior motives will take the opportunity to spread rumors, which may cause trouble. Third..."

Having said this, Xie Xuan's eyes changed slightly, and then he pulled Liu Xunyi aside and whispered in a low voice: "Third, Jianping is your biological sister. Now her mind has been firmly controlled by Yun Zhuiyue. If she continues like this, I'm worried that she will follow in Ningyu's footsteps. You siblings have finally reunited, what if..." Yun Jianping was Liu Xunyi's weak spot, and Xie Xuan's words hit the nail on the head. He was shocked, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Tang Xuan and Si Wudao was no longer as determined as before.

"Xun Yi, you should face the reality now. Fighting with others is not about who has better martial arts or who has greater determination, and who can do whatever they want. Although you have returned to your roots and are in the limelight, it does not mean that you can control everything, let alone that you can manipulate everyone. I still remember that when the Northern Sage King was alive, he once sighed, 'Whether you are a martial arts hero or a local tyrant, it's just that others see the glory, but in fact, only the fish know the cold and warmth of the water. The higher you stand, the more you are often forced to do things against your will.'" Xie Xuan advised earnestly, "You are like this now. It seems that you are the only one who can make the final judgment. , but the development of the situation is beyond your control. Moreover... Yun Zhuiyue only used a little trick to make you feel overwhelmed. Although he is not here, he knows everything that happened here, and even knows the positions and mentality of the people present. You have been trapped in his careful calculations, and even... you are being played in his hands. Excuse me, this is still a small game. What if you encounter a life-and-death battle? This shows that you are still too immature to compete with real martial arts masters. "

"Second Master Xie, if you have anything to say, just speak frankly." Liu Xunyi frowned, seeming to be quite dissatisfied with Xie Xuan's ridicule, "Do you also think that I should ignore the experience of the Pan family and abandon my prejudice against Yun Zhuiyue and Longxiang Mountain?"

"Yun Zhuiyue can disregard his dignity and even resort to any means to stay with your mother. He has used several tricks in a row, all of which are overt schemes. No matter how you respond, you will lose. The key is how to lose less." At this point, Xie Xuan simply stopped hiding his thoughts and answered directly, "You know how deep Yun Zhuiyue's feelings for your mother are. I can almost assert that for the sake of Valley Master Xiao, he can not only ignore Yun Jianping's feelings, but if necessary, he can even treat Yun Jianping like he treated Xu Ren... How could such a person leave obediently because of a word from you? Even if he is forced to leave, how can he let it go?"

"This……"

"Xunyi, today, just treat it as Xie's taking advantage of his age. You have to swallow this loss...whether you want to or not, you will definitely lose more." Although Xie Xuan did not directly answer Liu Xunyi's question, the meaning was self-evident. "Excuse me for being blunt, but Yun Zhuiyue has given you enough face and a way out by sending Xu Ren's head. If he was not afraid of Valley Master Xiao, he would not have had to execute Xu Ren. But you know, even without Xu Ren's head, Yun Jianping's move alone...is enough to make you helpless against him."

"I admit that what Second Master Xie said is reasonable, but I dare not completely agree with it." Liu Xunyi, who was in deep thought, looked at Yun Jianping, who was silent and tearful, and then looked at Xiao Zhirou, who was worried, and then said quietly, "I can't let go of my sister, and Yun Zhuiyue can't let go of Valley Master Xiao either. Therefore, Yun Zhuiyue and I have a 50-50 chance of winning and losing in this game. He bet on Yun Jianping that I dare not perish together with him, and I can also bet on Valley Master Xiao that he dare not fight to the death!"

"This……"

"This is the truth!" Before Xie Xuan could reply, Teng Sanshi praised him with a look of satisfaction, "Xunyi, if you can see this, you should understand that according to the current situation, you and Yun Zhuiyue will both benefit if you work together, but will both suffer if you separate. If you end up in a quarrel, both of you will be losers, and both of you will lose your most precious things, which can be said to be a tragic and embarrassing loss. Remember! Lord Xie will not harm you, and Grandpa will not harm you either. Now you are just confused by the situation and cannot see the key points. We, as bystanders, can see clearly and must not watch you go astray. Don't worry! With Grandpa here, Yun Zhuiyue will not dare to plot against you no matter how bold he is, let alone force you to submit in broad daylight and in front of everyone. Even if Longxiang Mountain loses face today, it is impossible to threaten you with the trick that threatened Pan girl. However, you and Yun Zhuiyue have no deep hatred, and both of you have a close relationship with the Teng family. I really don't want to see you both lose because of the Pan family. Therefore..."

Having said that, Teng Sanshi subconsciously glanced at Pan Yuyin who was not far away, and then whispered with a little guilt: "Therefore, the only way to make you and Yun Zhuiyue reconcile is to make peace. In this way, you can preserve your kindness and reputation as a chivalrous man, and give Yun Zhuiyue a chance to atone for your sins. More importantly, neither of you will lose your feelings, and neither of you will lose the most important thing to you. Isn't it the best of both worlds and everyone will be happy?"

Liu Xunyi can ignore the sweet words of Si Wudao and Tang Xuan, but he cannot ignore the heartfelt words of Teng Sanshi and Xie Xuan.

Moreover, not only they saw the pros and cons of this matter clearly, but Liu Xunyi also had a clear mind. The reason why he insisted on taking the risk of losing everything until now was, firstly, out of resentment, he did not want to be led by Yun Zhuiyue even though he knew that Yun Zhuiyue had set a trap. Secondly, out of morality, the key to this section was Pan Yuyin, he could not only care about his brotherly love and ignore Pan Yuyin's desire for revenge.

After all, Pan Yuyin had helped him more than once.

"Xunyi, whether you admit it or not, the Pan family's calamity is a fact, and Pan Chuba is dead and cannot be resurrected." Under Teng Sanshi's instigation, Xie Xuan bit the bullet and spoke out his true feelings, "To put it bluntly, why do you have to let the living torture each other and suffer for a dead person?"

Suddenly, Liu Xunyi took a long breath, and under the anxious and hesitant gazes of Teng Sanshi and Xie Xuan, he slowly moved closer to them and said in a veiled manner, "According to what you two said, I can't lose, and Yun Zhuiyue can't lose either. Weighing the pros and cons, it seems that only by letting Miss Pan lose can we save everyone."

"This..." Xie Xuan and Teng Sanshi looked at each other, embarrassed, "Xun Yi, you can't say that..."

"We can do it, so why can't we talk about it?" Liu Xunyi waved his hand nonchalantly, as if he didn't care about their high-sounding words at all. "Let's not talk about whether what we did is considered bullying the weak? Or is it considered bullying the few with the many? Now I only ask one question. If you two can answer it, I will agree to it."

Hearing this, the mature and prudent Teng Sanshi and Xie Xuan did not show the slightest excitement. Instead, they both felt a sense of unease and asked in unison, "What do you want to ask?"

"Pan Yuyin, what's wrong with you?"
