Chapter 833 – Formidable
An unexpected guest had come to Phoenix Stage, and the current Patriarch Yu Wending felt that things weren’t that simple. The Hollow Jade Temple’s Chen Liuxi was currently in the Three Great Cities, so the news of the miasma in the Three Great Cities couldn’t escape the eyes of Yuwen Clan. This martial arts world had a lot to say about it. It was so big that one would never be able to see the end of it. The martial arts world was small, but it had always been the center of some people’s applause.
The Yuwen family had operated for many years in the northwest, even though their prestige and strength had dropped to the bottom due to Chen Zhongqi’s incident. But even so, the Yuwen Clan’s Northwest Hegemon rank position was not something that could be casually shaken.
Although Yu Wending had never heard of this little Daoist nun from the Hollow Jade Temple with the surname Qu, when he first saw her, Yu Wending knew that she was definitely an important figure in the Hollow Jade Temple. Even though she was young, even though she looked a little soft, the determination in her eyes showed that she was noerson that could easily change her mind.
“Excuse me, why has Taoist Taoist come?”
Yu Wending waved his hand and asked for tea to be served, and after he sat down he asked.
Qu Liuxi stood there and did not sit down, because the Yuwen Clan’s reception hall was simply too big. She was seated at the back of two rows of chairs, to the left and right, at the door. As for Yu Wending, who was sitting in the innermost part of the room, the distance between the two of them was at least ten metres. Yuwen Clan had already made a decision to reject them, so Qu Liuxi found it a little laughable.
She did not sit down. Instead, she stood at the entrance of the great hall.
However, his eyes were looking straight into Yu Wending’s eyes. Even though they were ten meters apart, there was not the slightest trace of fear in his eyes.
“Ignoring the reason why I came here, I would like to ask, what is the master afraid of?”
“What am I afraid of?”
Yu Wending wanted to laugh: “In my house, an uninvited guest, moreover, it’s a junior. Why should I be afraid … As a customer, you asked Master what you were afraid of. Did you think that asking this question was very imposing? ”
Qu Liuxi smiled as she walked forward a few steps, and swiped her finger across the back of the long row of seats beside him: “Before I came, there were many people who told me that in the Northwest, I should maintain respect for the Yuwen Clan. Regardless of whether it was the commoners who often lived in the northwest, or the tourists who admired the northwest, they all knew that there were three large mountains in the northwest. One was Kunlun, one was Cliff Xu and one was Phoenix … Those who do not know will think that the three names are all mountains, but in reality, only the first two are mountains, and the phoenix is referring to the Phoenix Stage. ”
“Before I came here, I had thought about what kind of humble attitude I should have to show that I wasn’t rude.”
She pointed to the seat that Yu Wending had arranged for her at the door: “Now it seems that I was thinking too much. There were many rules and etiquette in the Jinling, and many of them were very troublesome to deal with. The Phoenix Stage is much easier to deal with, since the Patriarch has displayed such an attitude, then I will not keep the humility that I had prepared but was not sincere about it. ”
She raised her chin slightly. “I think I should be humble because I’m young, that’s all. It’s not because your Yuwen Clan is stronger than our Hollow Jade Temple … I have always been studying the Medicine Encyclopedia, so I know that after I get old, this place … ”
She raised her finger and pointed it at her head, “You will be confused. The older you are, the more likely you are to be confused. Sometimes, they don’t even know what they are thinking about. They seem to be doing things carefully and carefully, taking one step aime while thinking about it. And they’re so scared that sometimes they don’t even know what they’re afraid of. ”
As soon as Qu Liuxi finished speaking, she stopped in her tracks as well. The distance to Yu Wending was less than five meters, which was more than enough.
Yu Wending’s face had already turned white. He did not expect this little Daoist nun to speak in such a sharp tone, without any form of courtesy. How could such a gentle and beautiful woman speak in such a sharp tone?
“What’s there to be afraid of, since the Patriarch has maintained such a distance from me?”
Qu Liuxi did not wait for Yu Wending to say anything, nor did he stand five meters away from Yu Wending. She just reached that distance and turned back. He was relaxed and relaxed, as if he no longer had any burden or pressure. She had not accepted the seat, but now she sat down at the far end of the doorway, picked up her teacup, and took a sip. “Good tea,” she said.
Yu Wending suddenly realised that this girl was truly extraordinary. He used distance to express that he didn’t want to see her and didn’t want to talk about anything, but she completely reversed his attitude with these words.
“I have the least amount of respect for elders, but your identity is so important. For you to stand at sucigh place, if you can only obtain the least amount of respect from me … Is it my fault, or is it? ”
Qu Liuxi’s tone changed once again, “I also have a minimum amount of respect for myself. I’m not here to beg you for anything. So you can pose as a master, but don’t assume as a savior. The reason that Daoist Chen Liuxi asked me to come here is because he knows that the Saint Emperor still values the Yuwen Clan, so when those idiots from the northwest thought that they could dig a hole and bury Chen Liuxi, he wanted to see where the Yuwen Clan is located. ”
Qu Liuxi drank tea, put down the teacup and closed the lid, “But when I entered the door, I realized that Taoist Chen Liuxi had made a mistake... He originally thought that the Yuwen Clan did not stay in the Three Great Cities because of their attitude, but he didn’t expect that the Yuwen Clan was not in the Three Great Cities. It was actually the same as in the Three Great Ancient Cities. For example, a few rogues on the street had robbed and killed an innocent bystander, so of course they were guilty. Not too far away from them, there was a servant wearing a uniform with a knife in his hand. He clearly could have killed or captured those vagabonds by himself, but he didn’t do anything. He made a gesture that said ‘I’m not robbing you’ and ‘I’m not guilty’, but ‘I’m not killing you’, and ‘I’m not guilty’, and ‘I’m not guilty’, and ‘I’m not guilty’, and ‘I’m not guilty’, and ‘I’m not guilty’, and ‘I’m not guilty’. Patriarch, do you think he’s guilty? ”
After saying all that, Qu Liuxi stood up, cupped her fists, and bowed. This junior’s attitude is very upright, and definitely does not lack anything.
Then she turned.
Pouring the tea with 70% alcohol was enough for him.
“Cough cough …” “Please wait a moment.”
If it was said that Qu Liuxi’s dissatisfied attitude towards her had no effect on Yu Wending, then the final analogy had a huge impact on Yu Wending. He was indeed the officer who could kill all those thugs with a knife and a uniform, but he didn’t do anything. He didn’t think he was breaking the law because he didn’t kill and rob, and he wasn’t an accomplice.
However, he had forgotten that he was wearing his official uniform.
Yu Wending waved his hand, signalling the servants to place some new tea leaves on the table not far away from him: “Please come back, Taoist Priest. Although my Yuwen Clan and Hollow Jade Temple have not interacted before, I have also been respectful towards your Hollow Jade Temple for a long time.”
However, Qu Liuxi did not come over, and only sat down on the chair by the door once again.
This made Yu Wending feel a little awkward.
“What Daoist previously said doesn’t seem very appropriate. You said there were some hooligans on the street... Let’s put it this way, it’s just some hooligans. To rob a passer-by and then kill him was, of course, a violation of national law. If the official in official uniform were to stand to the side and watch without caring about anything, of course, he would be guilty … The problem, however, is that there’asserby on the street, a few hooligans, but not that officer. ”
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Qu Liuxi: “I don’t know if the Three Ancient City is the street you’re talking about, nor do I know if there are gangsters within the Three Ancient City, or if there’s even a single passerby within the Three Ancient City. If a few thugs hurasserby in the Three Ancient Cities, why should it be blamed on me, who is far above the Phoenix Stage? ”
Qu Liuxi couldn’t help but want to laugh, so she extended her hand and gestured: “I heard that there is a very big bird in the Western Desert. After encountering danger, he would immediately sink her head into the sand, but her entire body was still outside. Perhaps it felt that as long as it couldn’t see, there wouldn’t be any more danger. I also heard that in the Northern State of Yan, there’s a story whererson steals a bell, afraid that the bell would clank and block his ears. He thinks that if he can’t hear the bell, he won’t attract anyone’s attention … I’ve also heard that there is a story called “The Fake Tiger’s Might” in the Great Xixi Province. The fox intentionally walked in front of the tiger, and everyone thought that the fox had the tiger’s support. ”
These three things didn’t seem to have much to do with each other.
Yu Wending frowned slightly: “What do you mean?”
Qu Liuxi smiled and said: “If, I am only talking about if, and not who. There was a man who was famous in a small town. He looked tall and powerful, and he seemed to be a very fair and serious person, so everyone in the town thought he was the leader. The government knew him and made him the official of the small town. However, one day, when the bad guys in the town were about to do something bad and he saw them, when everyone thought he would stop them, he turned around and stuck his head into the ground, pretending that he didn’t see anything. These bad guys would usually follow this person around and be his lackeys, calling him big brother. “These people are going to kill a passerby from the town. If the government knows about this, of course they’ll ask.”
She looked towards Yu Wending who was ten meters away: “When the officials asked the officials, they told me that I was sleeping with my head covered, and did not see or hear anything. I blocked my ears from hearing the sounds of fighting, and closed my eyes, of course I could not see anything. I did not commit a crime in my absence, so why should I be punished? ”
“The government is very powerful, of course it won’t be hard to capture those hooligans. The officials asked the thugs, “Why did you do this?” They all said that the officer had ordered them to do it, and they all said so. The government officials asked the official, why did you do this? The official said I didn’t. I was really wronged. I did, but I didn’t order them. ”
“After that, the officials went to investigate. The commoners all said that these thugs usually took the official as their big brother. They do what the officer told them to do, and they bully people in the town. ”
Qu Liuxi looked at the empty cup, and added another sentence from the side: “Why is no one making tea?”
Yu Wending was stunned from his shock and panic, and subconsciously waved his hand. “Replenish the tea!”
Qu Liuxi stood up and cupped her fists, then took her leave for the second time: “If Master does not make up tea, then I will leave. Although I don’t really understand the rules, I can’t help but act with dignity. ”
She straightened up and turned to leave.
“There’s a small town, and there’erson in the town. How strange, this person can become a big bird and hide in the sand, sometimes covering his ears to steal other people’s bells, and sometimes he can become a tiger that can run around.”
She suddenly turned her head and blinked mischievously. “Patriarch, is this person powerful or not?”
Yu Wending stood in the room, and for a moment, he did not know what to say.
Qu Liuxi’s smile was especially brilliant: “I feel that he’s very powerful, but I feel that... “The government is even more powerful.”
