World of Honor

Su Baiyi carefully chewed on Nangong Xi’er’s words, and finally trembled like a thunderbolt, and exclaimed, “Senior sister, are you saying that between us, there is either a feud of killing father or a feud of killing mother?”

Nangong Xi’er did not deny or affirm this statement. She took a step forward and whispered in Su Baiyi’s ear, “Yes. Maybe one day I’ll kill you with a sword.”

Su Baiyi didn’t hear any killing intent in her words, and hesitated to ask more, but Nangong Xi’er turned around and walked towards the mountain. After walking a few steps, she heard that Su Baiyi behind her didn’t follow up and said, “Whether you go with us to investigate the case, or go back to the academy, right now you’re going the wrong way. Aren’t you coming?”

“Senior sister, I’ll go with you to investigate the case!” Su Baiyi no longer hesitated and walked forward.

“Are you disobeying your master?” Nangong Xi’er smiled.

“My master is a liar who loves to deceive people. He talks nonsense all the time. He can’t be trusted.” Su Baiyi waved his hand.

“You’re really bold.” Nangong Xi’er said helplessly.

On the mountain, Xie Yuling and Feng Zuojun were betting.

“Su Baiyi went down the mountain and took a detour. It’s not impossible. I think that kid is very cunning. He won’t come back.” Feng Zuojun lay on the ground and thought for a long time, and made a conclusion.

“He’ll come back.” Xie Yuling looked up at the stars in the sky. “Spring breeze fills me with joy, as I ride my horse and admire the flowers. If he doesn’t come back, I’ll catch him back even if I go back to the academy.”

“You’re talking about that genius from the Xie family, the one who was the master of Misty Rain Tower, one of the Shanglin Twin Wonders, Xie Kanhua, right? Didn’t he die in that battle with the Tianmen Shengzong?” Feng Zuojun asked.

“Shanglin Tiangong did tell our Xie family that, but I never believed it. If Uncle could die so easily, he wouldn’t be the prodigy that our Xie family waited for a hundred years.” Xie Yuling said solemnly.

“But as far as I know, he was already expelled from the Xie family.” Feng Zuojun said gloomily.

“That’s why our Xie family, from being the leader of the four major families back then, fell to this state today.” Xie Yuling said lightly, “Because the roots have rotted, so Uncle, such a person, would be expelled from the family.”

“Senior sister is back.” Feng Zuojun heard footsteps and got up from the ground. He saw Nangong Xi’er’s figure and asked, “What about Su Baiyi? Did he leave?”

“I thought for a long time and still couldn’t bear to leave you two senior brothers.” Su Baiyi ran out from behind. “This trip is hard and dangerous. I, Su Baiyi, am willing to offer my loyal service.”

Feng Zuojun walked up to him, touched his head, and patted his shoulder. He sounded puzzled, “How come? You don’t look like you’ve been beaten up?”

“Senior sister, where are we going next?” Xie Yuling asked.

“Daze Mansion, Tianxiao Yunjing.” Nangong Xi’er sat back in the carriage.

“It sounds familiar.” Su Baiyi frowned slightly.

“My home.” Feng Zuojun blinked, looking confused.

Liangzhu, the ten-mile-long city of Qiantang, the academy.

“They should go to the Tianxiao Yunjing. According to the information from Butterfly Wind when junior sister left, the Tianxiao Yunjing has recently closed its doors and sealed itself off. There must be something big happening.” Li Yanxi, one of the Three Gentlemen, sat at his desk and rolled up a paper note in his hand and put it on the candle. “Who will go?”

Zhou Zheng, the Righteous Gentleman, lay down and raised his arm and leg wrapped in white cloth. He only said three words, “Willing but unable.”

“Who told you to fight with Li Gui? Back then, he was the first choice for the sect master of Junzi Cliff. If it weren’t for the ten-year ban on martial arts, he would have probably entered the top ten of the Heavenly Martial List by now.” Li Wai, the Crooked Gentleman, sitting next to him, mocked. “Now you and Li Gui are both crippled, and there is no one around junior sister who can protect her.”

“Can’t you go?” Zhou Zheng asked back.

“I’m just a weak scholar.” Li Wai sighed lightly. “What use would I be if I went?”

“A weak scholar? The courtesans in the Thousand Flowers Pavilion at the foot of the mountain don’t say that!” Zhou Zheng said angrily.

“Enough.” Li Yanxi slammed the table and stood up. “Are you two putting on this show to make me go?”

“Junior brother dares not.” Zhou Zheng and Li Wai bowed their heads.

“Then which one of you two will go?” Li Yanxi asked again.

Zhou Zheng raised his arm and said those three words again, “Willing but unable.”

Li Wai sighed lightly and said, “I’m just a weak scholar, ah.”

“I see, you two don’t really want to stop junior sister.” Li Yanxi sneered. “When I said we should go together to stop her, Zhou Zheng, you said you were enough by yourself. But when you met Li Gui, you didn’t call us for help. You just played a trick of self-injury and let junior sister go. Now you are pushing each other away. Fine, fine!”

“Senior brother.” Zhou Zheng said helplessly. “Junior sister has grown up. Some things can’t be stopped.”

“Do you think I don’t know that?” Li Yanxi lay on the chair and rubbed his temples. “But the opponents she has to face, aren’t they too strong? If second senior brother were still here, maybe we would have some power to investigate. But now…”

“Second senior brother.” Li Wai muttered.

“I’ll send a message to the teacher first and let him decide.” Li Yanxi took out a pen and started writing.

Weilong Mountain. Shanglin Tiangong.

“It’s been a long time since I came back. Our Shanglin Heavenly Palace is still so magnificent. It’s worthy of being the number one sect in the world. Look at this building covered with gold powder. Tsk tsk tsk, so rich. Just scraping it casually would be enough for me to drink for a year.” Xie Kanhua had iron shackles in his hands, but his expression was very relaxed. He looked around and joked. “Ouch, isn’t that my Misty Rain Tower? Why does it look so shabby? Is there a master of the Misty Rain Tower now?”

“No.” The one who walked beside him was Helian Xiyue, with a faint smile on his face, answering as concise as ever.

“I haven’t been here for these years. You must have been very lonely.” Xie Kanhua said with emotion.

“I’m fine.” Helian Xiyue shrugged.

“The third floor and the fourth courtyard, without my most interesting Misty Rain Tower, besides your Spring Breeze Tower, isn’t there only the most boring Floating Dream Tower left?” Xie Kanhua sighed longly. “It’s hard for you these years. No wonder you talk less and less. Where are you taking me? Helian. I’m the one who stole the treasure of the Heavenly Palace. Shouldn’t I be thrown into the dark prison without a word?”

“Here we are.” Helian Xiyue shook the chain in his hand and stepped back.

Xie Kanhua looked at the plaque in front of him and read the words on it: “Floating Dream Tower.”

A man in a white robe stood in front of them. He turned around after hearing Xie Kanhua’s voice. The man was thin and pale, with a hint of sickness on his face. He looked at Xie Kanhua and coughed lightly three times. “Long time no see, Master Xie.”

“Bai Jile.” Xie Kanhua’s pupils tightened slightly.
