Chapter 483 Extraordinary Method (I)

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"Master, Liu Xunyi wants to see you."

"squeak!"

Before he finished speaking, the door opened. Liu Xunyi, looking pale, hesitated for a moment, then stepped into the room.

In the room, a light was dim and dim. A pungent and unpleasant smell of medicine hit her in the face, causing Liu Xunyi's heart to palpitate.

At this moment, Luo Tianjin, dressed in white pajamas, was lying quietly on the bed. His face was pale, his lips were bloodless, his eyes were slightly closed, his breath was thin as a thread, and he looked extremely weak.

Xie Xuan, Jiang Yiwei, Yan Bugui, and Murong Bai stood aside, each with a solemn look and eyes full of worry.

Until Liu Xunyi came in, the room was completely silent, as quiet as death, and the air was filled with an invisible sense of oppression.

Upon seeing Luo Tianjin's appearance, Liu Xunyi was stunned. He hurriedly took two steps and bowed to Luo Tianjin, but did not dare to disturb him rashly. Instead, he cast an earnest look at Xie Xuan beside him, as if asking about Luo Tianjin's injuries.

"call!"

Suddenly, the motionless Luo Tianjin let out a long breath and asked weakly, "But Xun Yi is here?"

"Yes." Xie Xuan replied quickly, "I'm waiting nearby."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xunyi immediately knelt down and said, "Xunyi greets the Palace Master!"

"it is good……"

As if he agreed, or as if he was breathing, Luo Tianjin responded lightly, and then fell silent again.

After a while, Luo Tianjin, who seemed to have gathered some energy, slowly opened his eyes and said, "Help me up."

"Master, please let me know what you want. You are weak at the moment..."

Before Xie Xuan finished speaking, Luo Tianjin had already gently shook his head. Although his movements were gentle, his attitude was extremely firm.

Seeing this, Xie Xuan and the others couldn't help but look at each other, all with bitter expressions on their faces. Helplessly, they had to step forward and help Luo Tianjin up carefully, letting him lean on the pillow as comfortably as possible.

"Palace Master, you..."

"It's okay." Luo Tianjin seemed to see Liu Xunyi's worry, and forced a relieved smile on his pale face, and asked, "Xunyi, how is your injury?"

"It's just a superficial wound. Thank you for your concern, Lord."

After saying that, Liu Xunyi endured the severe pain and waved his left arm violently a few times, as if to comfort Luo Tianjin's heart.

However, just a few simple movements caused his wounds to burst, and the clothes on his back were soaked with sweat again. However, he concealed it very well, and there was no sign of pain on his face.

"It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Don't try to show off." Luo Tianjin said unhappily, "I have ordered the doctor to use the best herbs for you. I believe you won't suffer from any sequelae."

"Thank you, Master."

"Seeing that your life is not in danger, I feel relieved."

Luo Tianjin made their master-disciple relationship clear in public, causing Liu Xunyi's expression to change slightly. He hurriedly looked around, as if trying to gauge the reactions of Xie Xuan and the others.

"Don't mind it. They are not only your predecessors, but also family members of Prince Xian's Mansion. When facing your family members, there is no need to hide or conceal anything." Luo Tianjin smiled freely.

"Yes." Liu Xunyi felt more and more confused about the meeting tonight, but Luo Tianjin kept avoiding the question. Although Liu Xunyi was curious, she did not dare to ask rashly.

"Do you know what happened this afternoon?" Xie Xuan suddenly said, "The Palace Master, Jin Fuyu, and Yun Zhuiyue drew lots in the second round. Yun Zhuiyue was lucky enough to draw the 'promotion' lot, so the Palace Master and Jin Fuyu competed for the top spot."

"I've heard about it." Liu Xunyi nodded and said, "I heard that Brother Qin also made a contribution."

"It was a great achievement." Yan Bugui corrected, "Qin Ku assisted the Palace Master in the battle against Qin Tianjiu. Not only did he win a great victory, but he also took Qin Tianjiu's life."

"What?" Liu Xunyi was secretly surprised, and his eyes became a little strange.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yiwei looked suspicious. "Is there anything wrong with Qin Ku killing Qin Tianjiu? Why is your reaction so strange?"

"Really?" Liu Xunyi forced a smile and evaded the question, "I'm just surprised that the famous 'Cripple Swordsman' would die at the hands of Qin Ku."

"Is it 'not' going to die at Qin Ku's hands? Or is it 'shouldn't' die at Qin Ku's hands?"

Xie Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked with a half-smile, "Liu Xunyi, you actually already knew that Qin Ku was from the Hexi Qin family, right?"

Liu Xunyi's heart sank, and he secretly said "not good". Under Luo Tianjin's scrutiny, he didn't dare to lie, so he could only bite the bullet and admit, "Yes."

"Since you know, why don't you tell me?" Jiang Yiwei took the opportunity to ask in a forceful manner.

"I..." Liu Xunyi hesitated and explained hesitantly, "I spoke out of friendship. After all, Qin Ku didn't want too many people to know about his private affairs, so I kept silent."

"Even though you recruited him into the Xianwang Mansion, you still didn't mention a word about his origins?" Xie Xuan said angrily, "Liu Xunyi, you are really loyal!"

"I..." Liu Xunyi hesitated and bowed his head to admit his mistake.

In fact, he was not speechless, he just didn't want to explain too much. Because long before Qin Ku was invited into the mansion, Liu Xunyi had warned Luo Tianjin indirectly, and Luo Tianjin didn't care whether Qin Ku had enemies or not, so he finally made this happen.

"In fact, we and the Hexi Qin Clan have been irreconcilable since the dispute over 'Xuan Shui Xia Juan'. Fortunately, Qin Ku not only did not become an enemy of the Xian Wang Mansion, but instead stood up to help the Mansion Master clear the obstacles at the critical moment. Thinking about it this way, it is not a bad thing." Murong Bai said, "As the saying goes, 'planting flowers with care may not bring them to fruition, but planting willows by accident may bring them to a forest'. The joining of Qin Ku will undoubtedly add a powerful general to the Xian Wang Mansion."

"Murong Bai, you seem to be trying to excuse Liu Xunyi?" Jiang Yiwei said dissatisfiedly, "If we continue to indulge him, he will only become worse and more unruly."

"But……"

"enough!"

Luo Tianjin's tone deepened, and the arguing scene suddenly quieted down.

Seeing that Luo Tianjin's face was getting uglier, Yan Bugui hurriedly poured tea and water and handed it to him.

After taking a breath, Luo Tianjin slowly said, "Qin Ku trusted Liu Xunyi, so he told him his secret. And Xunyi abided by the moral principles and kept the secret for his friend, so what was wrong with that? Xunyi did nothing wrong in this matter, but you guys realized it too late and blamed others afterwards."

"Master, please calm down. We know we are wrong!" Xie Xuan was worried that Luo Tianjin would get too angry and hurt himself, so he quickly took the lead and took the blame.

"This matter has passed, and no one is allowed to mention it again in the future."

"As ordered."

Luo Tianjin changed the subject and continued, "This afternoon, I had a great fight with Jin Fuyu. It was a very enjoyable fight. Haha... I haven't met such a strong opponent in a long time."

"Jin Fuyu is indeed powerful, but he is still one step behind the Palace Master." Murong Bai said, "In today's battle, the Palace Master defeated Jin Fuyu and entered the final battle, which is really cause for celebration. Now, Yun Zhuiyue is seriously injured and it is difficult to recover, but the Palace Master can still send someone to help. In this way, the throne of the leader of the martial arts world is already in the Palace Master's pocket."

"That's right!" Jiang Yiwei agreed, "In the evening, I asked Xu Qingnian about the secret of the Dragon Elephant Manual. This skill is very evil. The more serious the injury, the stronger the skill, so it is very difficult to deal with. But there is always a way out. The Dragon Elephant Manual is powerful, but it also has fatal flaws."

"What shortcomings?" Liu Xunyi's eyes sparkled, and he was very curious.

"After being seriously injured, the improvement in power can only last for two hours at most." Jiang Yiwei sneered, "After two hours, Yun Zhuiyue will be injured even more, and the Qi in his Dantian will be completely dissipated. If he wants to regroup his internal power, he will have to rest for at least 72 hours. Even so, his internal power will be extremely weak after regrouping, and he will not be able to attack before he recovers."

"hiss!"

Jiang Yiwei's words surprised Liu Xunyi.

"So, even if we send an ordinary disciple tomorrow, he will be able to defeat Yun Zhuiyue easily?"

"It should be so, unless...something changes along the way." Xie Xuan looked thoughtful.

Yan Bugui worriedly asked, "Will Jin Fuyu bother us tomorrow? After all, he still has a chance to send someone to help before the final battle with the Palace Master."

"No." Luo Tianjin shook his head and said, "Jin Fuyu is a man who cares about his reputation. Once something is said, it cannot be taken back. Moreover, he took the initiative to challenge me to a duel in front of all the heroes in the world. If he goes back on his word, wouldn't he be slapping himself in the face?"

"It's better to be safe than sorry. After all, this concerns the fate of the leader of the martial arts world. How can Jin Fuyu give up so easily?"

"That's true." Luo Tianjin smiled mysteriously, "He really won't give up easily and will definitely do everything he can to deal with me. However, he will never use the method of 'going back on his word' to deal with me. Not only will it be difficult to succeed, but he will also be branded as a man who doesn't keep his word. Jin Fuyu, who is a man of foresight, will definitely not use such a stupid method."

"So what will he do?"

"Jin Fuyu cares most about his reputation, and he likes to use slandering others' reputations to deal with his enemies." Luo Tianjin sneered, "Therefore, no matter if it's me or Yun Zhuiyue who wins tomorrow, he will make things difficult for us in the third round of 'Virtue'. As long as he can convince the heroes of the world to criticize us, he can reap the benefits and take over the position of leader as a substitute."

Luo Tianjin's explanation made everyone present feel heavy-hearted and speechless.

"Yun Zhuiyue is a heretic demon. Even if he can win the competition, Jin Fuyu can easily instigate heroes all over the world to abolish his qualification as the leader of the martial arts world." Xie Xuan hesitated, "But according to the current situation, the person most likely to win tomorrow is the Palace Master..."

"What's even more difficult is that the Palace Master showed goodwill to Ren Wuya in public today, and has been regarded by all the heroes in the world as abandoning the light and joining the dark." Murong Bai said worriedly, "The events that happened in the past few months have already caused a great loss of our reputation, and now... Oh! If Jin Fuyu holds on to his little braids, even if the Palace Master wins the competition, I'm afraid he will lose to the people in the end."

"The way of the king is to follow the will of the people." Xie Xuan sighed, "It's not a possibility, it's certain. Jin Fuyu will definitely make a big fuss about our relationship with Yulong Palace. After all, the other charges are either groundless or unintentional, and none of them can be considered as real evidence. Only our relationship with Yulong Palace can be said to be 'caught red-handed' in public. Even if we have a thousand mouths, I'm afraid we can't change the outcome."

Yan Bugui argued, "If the Lord had chosen to protect himself in the beginning, Ren Wuya would not have risked his life to help. Without Ren Wuya's help, the Lord's chances of winning would have been greatly reduced. This matter is linked to one thing after another, and the Lord had no choice but to do it. Instead of complaining endlessly, why don't you think of a way to resolve the crisis."

"Now that things have come to this, how can we resolve it?" Murong Bai said helplessly, "Right now, the world has already regarded us and the Jade Dragon Palace as birds of a feather. I'm afraid we can't clear our name even if we jump into the Yellow River.

"The will of the people cannot be changed by a few words."

Suddenly, Luo Tianjin, who had been silent for a long time, spoke faintly: "But I believe that there is always a way out and water has an endless flow. In fact, there is no such thing as a hopeless situation in the world, it's just that many people don't know how to survive in a desperate situation."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes lit up and they looked at Luo Tianjin with expectation.

"The Palace Master means..."

"I once said, 'In extraordinary times, extraordinary methods should be used.'" Luo Tianjin said calmly, "Now is an extraordinary time, but do you know what extraordinary methods are?"

"Please teach me, Lord!"

"It's very simple." Luo Tianjin smiled and said, "Take an unconventional approach, and risk your life in the face of death."
