Chapter 299 Xia Wushuang
Duan Qing was silent. After the incident in Yongling Valley, he had already decided not to get involved in the affairs of men and women, and devoted himself to the Tao. When facing Senior Sister Su, he could deal with it calmly without much turmoil.
He thought he had let go of love between men and women, but why did he think of Xue Wanyun at this time?
To be honest, he was just grateful to Xue Wanyun, grateful for teaching him the Vermillion Bird Transformation, which enabled him to have the cultivation he has today, to leave the Xiaonan Realm and set foot on the land of the Middle Earth.
But he asked himself that he had never had any bad thoughts about Xue Wanyun, and had never thought about that!
"My friend, listen to my advice. When the flowers are in bloom, you must pick them immediately, and don't wait until there are no flowers to pick empty branches!" The middle-aged man seemed to have a hint at this time.
"Senior, you misunderstood. I am now devoted to the Tao and have no intention of getting involved in the affairs of men and women!" Duan Qing's face became serious and he defended himself.
"Haha! You can deceive yourself, but you can't deceive your heart!" The middle-aged man chuckled.
Gently lifting the long hair in front of his eyebrows, the middle-aged man stared blankly at the bright moon in the sky, his eyes full of reminiscence.
"Back then, I was just like you, seeking the Tao with all my heart, caring only about improving my cultivation, but ignoring the people around me!"
The middle-aged man sighed deeply.
"My name is Xia Wushuang, born in the Xia family, a Yuezhou cultivation family. I am extremely talented and have been rated as the most talented person in the Xia family in the past thousand years!" At this point, he shook his head self-deprecatingly.
"I have been living a life of luxury since I was a child. The clan has only one mission for me, which is to practice and cultivate to a higher level. I once regarded cultivation as everything and devoted myself to the Tao."
"And it was at that time that she broke into my world. Her name is Luo Xi, and she is a direct disciple of the Yuezhou Xingjian Sect. The Xingjian Sect is a branch of the Wanxingjian Sect, the overlord of Yuezhou ten thousand years ago. By her generation, the talents in the sect were dwindling, and there were only a few people in total!" When talking about Luo Xi, Xia Wushuang showed a rare smile on his face.
"When I traveled to Yuezhou, my first stop was to see the style of the Wanxing Sword Sect, the overlord of Yuezhou ten thousand years ago. It was also in the ruins of the Wanxing Sword Sect that I first met her."
"No matter where you go, you can't avoid the conflict of interests. I went out privately at that time and didn't alarm anyone in the clan. Unexpectedly, I was targeted by people from other factions in the clan, and they sent people to secretly follow me and kill me." Xia Wushuang's tone was neither happy nor sad, and he seemed to not care about the family's internal fighting at all.
"I was chased by my clan members in the ruins of the Wanxing Sword Sect. When my life was hanging by a thread, I met Luo Xi. With her help, I barely saved my life!" Xia Wushuang smiled, smiling like a child.
"I still remember the first time I saw her, she was dressed in white, elegant and graceful, with a small silver sword hanging from her waist! To me at that time, she was like the goddess of the sky descending to the world!"
"Luo Xi took care of me who was seriously injured and dying for half a month. She was very talkative and cheerful. She could often talk to me for half a day even if I ignored her!" Xia Wushuang seemed to remember Luo Xi's mumbling and laughed even more happily.
Isn't this just a chatterbox! Hearing this, Duan Qing couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he didn't disturb Xia Wushuang.
"After my injury healed, Luo Xi and I traveled to Yuezhou together. We spent several months together day and night and fell in love with each other, but neither of us expressed it!"
"When we were about to part, Luo Xi plucked up the courage to ask me if I was willing to spend the rest of my life with her? Although I also cared about Luo Xi, at that time I was devoted to the Tao and only pursued a higher realm. I felt that love between men and women would hinder the pursuit of the Tao, so I flatly rejected her!" At this point, Xia Wushuang laughed at himself.
"Just like that, I parted ways with her unhappily. She returned to the Xingjian Sect to inherit the position of the head, and I returned to the clan to practice hard!"
"More than a decade has passed, and I still can't forget Luo Xi. The higher my cultivation level, the more I miss the time I spent with Luo Xi! I regret rejecting Luo Xi!"
"Finally, I couldn't bear it anymore, and set off to the Xingjian Sect to find Luo Xi, hoping to renew our relationship!" Xia Wushuang's tone suddenly froze.
After a long silence, Xia Wushuang finally spoke again. "I went to the Xingjian Sect with joy, but what I got was the sad news of Luo Xi's death!"
Xia Wushuang's face was extremely painful, and it seemed that he didn't want to think about this memory!
"The people of Xingjian Sect were hesitant about Luo Xi's death. After some inquiries, I finally found out the truth!"
"It turned out that after Luo Xi separated from me, he accepted two disciples named Shangchong and Xiachong. These two people were ugly and different from ordinary people. They were not well received in Xingjian Sect. Only Luo Xi treated them very well!" When Xia Wushuang mentioned Shangchong and Xiachong, his eyes seemed to be able to spit fire, and the murderous intent that was difficult to hide made Duan Qing tremble.
Duan Qing had already vaguely guessed who the Shangchong and Xiachong he was talking about!
Xia Wushuang took a few deep breaths before calming down and continuing. "These two people are ambitious. Not only did they not appreciate Luo Xi's kindness in adopting and preaching, but they also repaid kindness with hatred. While Luo Xi was injured in a fight and recuperating, they actually... actually... actually insulted Luo Xi to death!!!"
Bitter tears could not stop flowing from Xia Wushuang's eyes. He looked like a madman, and the whole person was almost on the verge of collapse.
"Haha, can you believe it? A disciple who was raised from childhood could actually do such a treasonous thing... Such a treasonous thing...!"
"After I knew the truth, I directly killed all the remaining disciples of Xingjian Sect. Those people were all disloyal. If they hadn't intentionally isolated Luo Xi and left Luo Xi with only those two beasts, how could Luo Xi end up like this! How could those two beasts commit such a thing that angered the heavens and people and then escape!"
"After that, my existence was only for one thing, to find those two beasts and redress Luo Xi's grievances. Unfortunately, after decades of panic, I couldn't find any trace of these two people!"
Xia Wushuang took out the magic dagger, put it on his face and stroked it, then turned his head to look at Duan Qing. "Until today I saw this treasure in the market! Although I failed to kill those two beasts myself, I still want to thank you for cleaning up the mess for Luo Xi!"
After listening to all that Xia Wushuang said, Duan Qing was sure that the two old men he killed in the third heaven that year were the two men Shang Chong and Xia Chong mentioned by Xia Wushuang.
"These two men deserve to die. I only regret that I didn't know the reason at the time and let these two beasts go too easily!" Duan Qing said bitterly. When he thought that these two men had committed such a beastly thing, he couldn't help but get angry.
There are such shameless people in the world who repay kindness with enmity!
"Yes! Damn it!" Xia Wushuang gritted his teeth.
"Come on, I toast to the senior and drink a pot of wine for the revenge of Senior Luo!" Duan Qing raised the wine pot high. He was really happy for Xia Wushuang at this time, and he was also happy that he had killed Shang Chong and Xia Chong that year.
"Okay! I'll thank you on behalf of Luo Xi!" Xia Wushuang immediately raised the pot and clinked it with Duan Qing, then raised his head and drank the wine in the pot.
Duan Qing followed suit and drank the whole pot in one gulp, then threw the pot heavily into the courtyard.
"Great!"
