Chapter 266: Great! Very good!
When he said this just now, Mo Zheng kept his eyes lowered the whole time, not daring to look at anyone.
At this moment, he finally finished speaking and wanted to look up at his fellow disciples, but he was a little scared.
But he still mustered up the courage and made a serious request to them: "I, Mo Zheng, have been unkind and unjust before. I owe Li Fuyi and the Li family a lot. My current situation is also my own fault."
"It's time for me to pay it forward, as the law of nature always returns."
"I beg you, fellow disciples, to forgive me for my sins, considering our long-standing friendship."
"Also, Li Fuyi is a child of destiny. He will surely lead our Zichen Sword Sect to soar to great heights one day."
"Please, Peak Masters, don't hold a grudge against him because of me..."
"If everyone agrees, I... would like to take advantage of... the fact that Uncle-Master Qing Jiuxi is presiding over the position of Sect Leader and pass it on to him."
Shen Changxun listened silently, and when he finally finished speaking, he slammed his palm on the table.
"Mo Zheng! Who do you think we are?!"
Mo Zheng stared at him in shock, lowering his head. "Brother, don't be angry. This is all my fault. I will never implicate the Zichen Sword Sect..."
A "bang" sound interrupted Mo Zheng's words and shocked Shen Changxun.
Mo Zheng was slapped and fell to the right. Tao Daxi supported him. There was a bright red palm print on his left cheek.
Liu Xingrou clenched her numb palms into fists and clenched them tightly in her sleeves. "You're such a jerk, Mo Zheng! We've all been so sincere to you over the years, and you're just going to push us away like this?!"
"Good! Very good!"
Her slender fingers pointed at the tip of Mo Zheng's nose, "You also want us not to bother with Li Fuyi, you are really magnanimous!"
He kept asking, "Tell me, how are you going to pay him back? To what extent?!"
Mo Zheng smiled bitterly, "Since Xiao Ran has already built a cenotaph for me, that's fine."
"When Fu Yi comes in a few days, I will confess everything to him. Then... he can kill me or chop me up as he pleases..."
Liu Xingrou couldn't stand it any longer and slapped him again, "You useless guy! You're willing to give up your life just for Li Fuyi!"
"Do you think we are all stupid?!"
"We can't figure out those trivial things, how could we not notice them at all?!"
Mo Zheng's cheeks were burning and tears were coming out.
Shen Changxun saw this and felt a little scared by the aggressive Liu Xingrou, but he had calmed down a bit.
Nan Yubai quickly coaxed Liu Xingrou to sit aside, "Senior Sister, please be patient, Senior Sister, the headmaster brother... must be sick and confused!"
"Yes! I'm confused!"
Then, everyone followed Nan Yubai's words that he was sick and confused, and packed him up and stuffed him into Nan Yubai's Qianlu Peak without saying anything.
Mo Zheng was still completely confused. He grabbed Nan Yubai who brought him medicine and said, "Junior brother... am I not confused?"
Nan Yubai glared at him and stuffed a huge bowl into his hand.
Mo Zheng held the medicine that tasted so bitter just by smelling it, and met Nan Yubai's rolling eyes.
When Nan Yubai saw Mo Zheng's stunned look, he suddenly realized that the most honest among his fellow disciples was not actually him, but was right here!
"Brother Master, may I ask, what is respected by cultivators?"
This was a simple question, and Mo Zheng answered it without even thinking: "The strong are respected."
"That's it!" Nan Yubai saw Mo Zheng tugging at his clothes and had no intention of leaving, so he simply sat down beside his bed and motioned him to finish the medicine.
Mo Zheng looked at him, then looked at the medicine bowl, pinched his nose and drank it with his head tilted back.
"Hiss...Yubai, how much Coptis chinensis did you put in this? It's bitter o(╥﹏╥)o..." Every breath he exhaled was filled with a bitter taste.
Nan Yubai was very happy to hear his familiar complaints.
"Oh, did you figure it out? I added a pound of coptis root on purpose."
“……(°ー°〃)” Mo Zheng was speechless for a moment.
Nan Yubai smiled and said, "Master, do you still remember that our Zichen Sword Sect has always been protective of its people, and we share the same fate."
"What did you just say? Eating some coptis root to wake yourself up would be a good idea."
As a patient in Nan Yubai's hands, I felt like a fish on the chopping board. Mo Zheng came out with a frown and a bitter smile, feeling helpless.
"Ahem, let's not talk about this anymore."
"What happened to what you just said about the strong being respected?"
Nan Yubai rolled his eyes again, "To cultivate immortality, one must go against the will of heaven. Only by fighting against heaven and earth can one achieve self-realization."
"Brother, you also said that the strong are respected, isn't it right to compete with others?"
Mo Zheng almost suspected that he was hallucinating. Why did these words sound normal, but when he thought about it carefully, something seemed wrong.
The Zichen Sword Sect is strict and upright, how can they say this...this?
"But... I'm taking away other people's luck, this is not..."
Nan Yubai stopped him from continuing, "Brother, you haven't committed murder or arson, or intentionally harmed his entire family. If he were more vicious, we should have eradicated him completely to prevent future troubles."
"Even if there were inappropriate things in the past, your mother lost half of her cultivation as punishment. And you, Senior Brother, did your best to make amends. Li Fuyi's current status is entirely due to your cultivation. This is obvious to all."
"There are always mistakes made before, and Senior Brother has never made the same mistake again and again. He is certainly not to be compared with those wicked and evil people out there."
"The laws of nature are clear and obvious. The cycle of cause and effect may sound simple and clear, but it is actually extremely profound, and many of its implications cannot be summarized in a single word."
"Even if Li Fuyi wants to seek revenge on you, there is nothing wrong in clarifying the cause and effect. But Li Fuyi did everything right and there is not a single mistake made by him?" Nan Yubai admitted that he was biased, but he was also telling the truth.
In his opinion, Li Fuyi was not an upright person. She would take revenge when she had a grudge and repay kindness when she had a favor.
It is wrong to deceive his senior brother both physically and mentally!
Could it be that, just because of all that had happened before, Li Fuyi could unscrupulously hurt this master who had treated him so well and nurtured him into adulthood?!
Besides being Taoist companions, they also have a master-disciple relationship!
Seeing that Mo Zheng wanted to say something, she didn't argue with him. "How can we, brothers who share the same blood, ignore this? Brother, you are so cruel. Those two slaps that Senior Sister received were not in vain."
Mo Zheng touched his cheek, which was still burning...
"But it is true that I didn't look carefully enough into Jin'er's death." Others don't know how important Li Jin'er is to Li Fuyi, but Mo Zheng knows it very well.
In the previous life and this life, she has always been a very important person to Li Fuyi. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is an opportunity.
No matter how much Nan Yubai tried to comfort him, he just listened.
Nan Yubai naturally saw that he couldn't be bothered by Li Jin'er's death. "Brother, there's no rush on this matter. Wait until Li Fuyi comes to visit and we can talk it out."
"You just killed him by mistake, and it was a conspiracy by the Ghost Domain Alliance. At most, it was a mistake..."
"I see how ungrateful he is, asking you, his master, to die in place of his sister!"
Mo Zheng shook his head, "Yubai, Jin'er...ah..."
Seeing that he looked tired, Nan Yubai didn't say much.
Just as he was about to leave the house, he turned back and said, "Oh, by the way, this time the brothers are really here."
"Senior Brother Changxun is guarding the next room, so you can sleep peacefully."
