Chapter 66 None of your business, none of my business
Her voice was as soft as water, flowing into Xia Changfeng's ears.
It nourishes the long-parched heart.
Such a gentle voice reminded him of a summer night when he was young, when his older brother would lie beside him on his pillow and tell him ghost stories to lull him to sleep.
The old fox tells ghost stories to lull children to sleep.
He knows how to lull someone to sleep.
Si Wuxie's voice is a bit higher than a man's. He usually speaks in a high tone, making it hard to tell if he is male or female. But the slower he speaks and the lower his voice, the more charming it becomes, a charm that neither men nor women can achieve.
Pure yet wild.
Only a male vixen like him could call out so sweetly.
Xia Changfeng gently grasped the tip of his tail, his expression almost unchanged, but the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a cold and ambiguous smile.
This expression... In the past, Si Wuxie would never have imagined that the innocent and kind-hearted little white lotus he raised would make such an expression.
On second thought, it's not surprising that he's been associating with people like the Taiji Hall and Li Tingyun; he's been influenced by them.
The white lotus has evolved into a black lotus.
The Xia Changfeng of today is a complete stranger to Si Wuxie.
Xia Changfeng gently stroked the fox's tail.
On the surface, Si Wuxie's gamble paid off, as the other party did not do anything to harm him.
But Xia Changfeng's slow and deliberate movements were unsettling.
The old fox is cunning and treacherous; even if he's unsure in his heart, he appears as calm as an old dog.
He took advantage of the situation and provoked, "For the sake of the kindness I showed you when I raised you, you can't do anything to me."
He tentatively tried to retract his tail, but seeing that Xia Changfeng remained unmoved, he relaxed.
"Since you're reluctant to do it, I'll retract my tail for now... Ah!!!"
Xia Changfeng suddenly grabbed the fox's sensitive tail tip.
Its strength was immense; if Si Wuxie struggled even slightly, he would lose his tail.
"You lost the bet again. What do I have to be reluctant to do for you?"
Xia Changfeng twisted his wrist, wrapped the fox tail around the back of his hand, and twisted it hard. "Si Wuxie, what kindness have you shown me? The kindness of using me, the virtue of abandoning me, or the kindness of cutting out my heart?"
He said this with restraint and composure, “I didn’t originally intend to do anything to you so quickly, but you delivered yourself to my door, swaggering around in front of me, so despicable.”
"Did I deliver myself to them...did I deliver myself to them...?"
Si Wuxie laughed out loud, her lips trembling.
The pain from having his tail forcibly pulled terrified him.
But he didn't agree with Xia Changfeng's words at all.
"Didn't you find the land first? Didn't you pay a visit first?"
"Since you hate me so much and want to settle scores with me so badly, why are you dragging your feet? I've already said it before: I stole your Vermilion Bird Heart. If you have the ability, then come and take it back from me."
"Now, I'm sitting right in front of you, and I admit that I'm far inferior to you... So why don't you just take this heart back? You're all talk and no action, but you can't bring yourself to do it."
Si Wuxie said quietly, "Little brother, which of us is more despicable?"
Their eyes met, but within that small space, a sense of forbidden tension and unease arose within them in an instant.
Xia Changfeng looked directly into those naturally alluring fox eyes and said, word by word:
What good will it do you to anger me?
Si Wuxie suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if his heart was burning with fire, and a dark red glow gathered on his chest.
Xia Changfeng placed his five fingers on the flowing light, his expression unreadable. "It's time for you to return this heart to me, brother."
Clusters of karmic fire ignited around him, and in the flames, Si Wuxie's face, contorted with pain, gradually became blurred.
The pain was so intense it was suffocating, it was fucking awful.
Couldn't he have acted more decisively, like he did back then?!
Si Wuxie thought painfully.
"Xia Changfeng, let him go."
A cold voice came from behind, and frost spread rapidly, canceling out the karmic fire.
Having survived the ordeal, Si Wuxie's vision gradually cleared, and his gaze passed over Xia Changfeng's shoulder, landing on Mei Shiyu.
Xia Changfeng glanced at him sideways, "Immortal Mei, do you really enjoy meddling in other people's business?"
Mei Shiyu: "No, what I mean is, let him go. There's something I want to talk to you about."
Xia Changfeng: "To disturb other people's private affairs so casually, how arrogant! Are all the people of Dao Xuan Sect as impolite as immortals?"
Mei Shiyu remained unmoved. "Alright, I can apologize for that. But I still want to say that Si Wuxie will definitely die without the Vermilion Bird Heart. If you want to kill him, you'd better hurry up. I have something urgent to attend to and won't be long."
Xia Changfeng was slightly taken aback. The flames in his palm gradually dissipated, but his tone became increasingly heavy.
How did you find out about what happened between us?!
Mei Shiyu: "Guess."
It's not that he's keeping us in suspense; he simply doesn't want to say.
Of course, he couldn't say that he was a reincarnated person; he knew even more secrets than these...
In his previous life, Si Wuxie was killed by Li Tingyun.
Li Tingyun accidentally discovered the Vermilion Bird Heart pulsating within Si Wuxie's body. Without a second thought, he killed Si Wuxie and then returned the heart to Xia Changfeng as a reward for his subordinate.
Li Tingyun was unaware of the connection between Xia Changfeng and Si Wuxie, and killing Si Wuxie was merely a simple matter for him.
He thought Xia Changfeng would be grateful to him.
In fact, this incident sowed the seeds for Xia Changfeng's later betrayal.
Li Tingyun is indifferent to humanity and is used to solving all problems with killing. He has no interest in understanding other people's messy and messy affairs.
Mei Shiyu was very meticulous. His personality was completely opposite to Li Tingyun's. They were on different paths and their meeting was a coincidence.
In general, Mei Shiyu knew far more and had a more detailed understanding of what was happening in Taiji Hall and Sixiang City than Li Tingyun, the hall master.
It wasn't that he liked gossip, but rather that Li Tingyun didn't "manage politics" at all, leaving everything, big or small, to him to handle.
If Mei Shiyu encounters a problem he can't handle, he'll consult with Li Tingyun, who will then step in to resolve it.
The Master of Taiji Hall solves problems in a simple and brutal way.
That is—kill them all!
Gradually, there was no problem that Mei Shiyu couldn't solve.
Because everyone will beg him to come up with a solution, whether it's good or bad, it doesn't matter, just please don't go to the Taiji Hall to discuss it with Li Tingyun again!
Mei Shiyu sighed.
To put it bluntly, Li Tingyun seemed to be treating him like a "chief eunuch."
He wasn't the prime minister, nor a cabinet minister, but just the chief eunuch by the emperor's side!
After all, officials cannot enter the emperor's bedroom at will, but the restriction on the Taiji Hall was practically useless to Mei Shiyu. Even if he went in and out and kicked the threshold to pieces, no one dared to interfere.
Li Tingyun usually spends his time either fighting or cultivating in seclusion. He personally set up a restriction in the Taiji Hall to prevent anyone from disturbing him.
Anyone who recklessly approaches the main hall and triggers the restrictions will be instantly annihilated, regardless of their cultivation level.
Except for the special case of the plum rain season.
He had to fight alongside him to vent his excess energy, and he also had to handle various sect affairs for him while injured.
Therefore, you will be safe when you come and go.
To others, if he's not the Grand Eunuch, what the hell is he?!
Li Tingyun was the incompetent and decadent emperor who had not attended court for decades.
Mei Shiyu once asked Li Tingyun two questions about casually killing Si Wuxie.
The first question is: "Si Wuxie is Si Wuyou's brother, and Si Wuyou has been with you for so many years, yet you killed her brother. Have you ever thought about whether she will hate you?"
Li Tingyun rested his chin on his left hand and said, "None of your business."
Mei Shiyu remained unfazed and raised the second question:
"Perhaps you don't know, but Si Wuxie and Xia Changfeng have a very close relationship that cannot be simply summarized as 'grudges and affections'. You killed Si Wuxie so easily, did you consider what Xia Changfeng would think?"
Li Tingyun rested his chin on his right hand and said, "What's it to me?"
Mei Shiyu thought to herself, "Fine, don't blame me for not reminding you, just go ahead and be your lonely loner."
