Chapter 29 Apology
The old man’s temples were gray and his face was covered with wrinkles as rough as tree bark, giving him a weathered look.
Wearing a simple long silk coat, he walked in step by step with his stooped body. He looked around at the mess around him, his eyes becoming more severe.
Seeing the man rolling on the ground with unstoppable bleeding, the old man quickly passed over the crowd, raised his hand and pinched a magic spell to stop the man's bleeding.
He turned back and stared at Wu Cheng, calmly saying:
“Wucheng, you went too far this time.”
The tone was full of accountability. , the arrogance in Wu Cheng's expression had disappeared, and he quickly bent down to salute:
"I met Lord Liu, what happened today..."
"That's enough! Let your master Come and explain to me." City Lord Liu interrupted Wu Cheng mercilessly. He turned to look at You Su with cold eyes and asked with concern, "Are you injured?"
You Su could feel that City Lord Liu was asking him. He and City Lord Liu have not had any interaction since his master left. At this time, he couldn't help but feel a little flattered and said: "I've met City Lord, it's no big deal."
Wu Cheng still lowered his head and clenched his teeth. No one could see the veins popping up under the shadow of his face.
"It's okay, it's okay. They are looking for people's hearts and they came up with this strategy. I hope you can understand." City Lord Liu then relieved the pressure, and everyone was relieved.
"I can understand." You Su also replied kindly with the frost on his face melting away.
The ice on his face has melted away, but the grudge in his heart is hard to get rid of. Su has firmly remembered this account in his heart.
Faced with City Lord Liu's attempts to mediate, You Su could only comply superficially. Rather than resenting his good-natured approach, You Su was more grateful to him for stopping the fight in time. He just wanted to give his junior sister A trouble-free environment for the mistress.
City Lord Liu stroked his beard with joy, then turned to help Wu Cheng, who was still bending down to salute. His tone at this time also softened slightly:
"Wucheng, I know You value your fellow disciples, but you shouldn't lose your sense of proportion. We are all monks, not barbarians who come to raid our homes. Your master values you so much, so you have to respond to his expectations."
Wu Cheng glanced at the clumsy face of City Master Liu, Lao Zhi, then bowed his head and saluted and said solemnly: "Thank you City Master for reminding me, Wu Cheng knows his mistake. Think twice before doing anything in the future, and you will not be influenced by emotions again."
City Lord Liu raised the corner of his mouth, helped Wu Cheng up again and patted his shoulder:
“You are a good boy who values love and righteousness. This time, it is excusable. Xiang Yousu Just apologize and this matter will be over. You are all of the same generation and are the future of Izumo City. We can interact more in the future."
Before Wu Cheng could respond, Wu Ping shouted angrily: "You want us to apologize to him? City Lord Liu, look at how he has cut our people to death. What else does he want to apologize for?"< br>
Hearing this, Lord Liu City glanced sideways at Wu Ping, who was leaning against the wall, then turned back to observe the injury of the man with the severed hand, and said softly to Wu Cheng:
"Quickly Some Huizong can still be connected."
In an instant, a sword light flashed, and the fat man's trembling palms lying on the ground suddenly shattered into several pieces and completely turned into a puddle. Rotten meat.
Everyone’s expressions became extremely ugly, even City Lord Liu frowned. Only You Su had an indifferent look on his face, and the Mo Song Sword in his hand was dripping with bright red blood.
"There's no need to apologize. This is the apology I want." You Su's empty eyes were full of indifference, and his handsome face looked calm.
The fat man was so frightened that he sat down on the ground and cried heartbrokenly. He was just following Wu Ping's order to humiliate this blind man who he had never seen before. After the incident, he would still get There are many magic pills, but how do you know that they have provoked a fierce god who cannot be offended. "You!" When Wu Cheng saw this, his face twisted with anger, and he tried to pull out the sheathed sword.
He felt that every sword You Su had just swung was like a slap, hitting him hard in the face. Of course he wouldn't care about the injury of an unknown subordinate, but You Su's move was a complete naked humiliation to him.
City Lord Liu used his big hand to block the two people who were at war with each other. He gently pressed back Wu Cheng’s hand that was about to draw the sword, and said with a faint smile on his lips:
"Okay, now that You Su has accepted the apology, this matter is over. You all should disperse and take him to heal as soon as possible."
Even if you really want to be in this prestigious place, Wu Cheng, who maintained a good image in front of the old city lord, was not willing to sell himself to the old man anymore. There was an uncontrollable anger in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"City lord Liu, this You Su He has repeatedly defied searches and just admitted that he met my Master He on the 12th. I suspect that he is closely related to the disappearance of Master He!”
Wu Ping on the side also raised his voice and said: "That's right! His family must be searched!"
A little sadness appeared on City Master Liu's withered face. He reached out and touched Wu Cheng's back, as if to appease Wu Cheng's emotions, and he said slowly :
"I know you are eager to find your uncle, but the body of your uncle He has just been found. It is five miles away on Qiong Mountain. Unfortunately, there is only a pale skeleton left. Your master has gone Come on, you should go and have a look."
You Su kept his expression behind, but there was a thump in his heart.
Master Uncle He’s body has been found, will the cause of his death also be investigated? Will the cause and effect behind the cannibalism involve him? You Su suppressed his anxiety and thought calmly: Master Ling's arrival was unexpected, and his interaction with him was hidden in the dark. It would be extremely difficult to find out Ling Zhenren, so the probability of him being taken out as a suspect should be low.
When Wu Cheng heard this, the expression on his face changed. He loosened his grip on the hilt of the sword and turned into the young genius who knew etiquette and integrity again. He saluted again: "Thank you, City Lord. Tell us, then we will leave first and come to pay our respects another day."
City Master Liu said with a kind face, "Go ahead and express my condolences."
Wu Cheng left without looking back. Wu Ping followed closely in his brother's footsteps, followed by the outer disciples who were supporting each other.
The group of people left in a grand manner, and the crowded old house finally became empty again.
City Lord Liu did not leave, and You Su couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
He didn't know the purpose of City Lord Liu's sudden show of goodwill. He only knew that this old man was probably the most powerful monk in the city. If the old man stayed here for one more second, the risk of exposing his junior sister and junior wife would be Just one more point.
Ignorant of the storm in You Su's heart, City Lord Liu walked up to the rotten flesh and chanted the incantation with his fingers, when a ball of green fire suddenly appeared from the ground and burned the rotten hands into a ball of white ash. He used another spell to create lines of water to wash away all the splattered blood.
You Su was a little surprised as he felt everything he did.
"You have to clean up the other things yourself." City Lord Liu shook his sleeves, walked up to You Su, and sighed helplessly, "I have always been confused. A person as domineering as your master, How could I accept a taciturn disciple like you?"
"I just realized that you are actually the same kind of people at heart"
