Chapter 361 The Young Singer's Journey 30
Because Baili Dongjun at that time did not miss the opportunity to save Xiao Ruofeng, but knowing everything, he still chose to search for that elusive medicinal ingredient.
At the time, the rebellion of the Prince of Langya caused a great uproar in the city, but Baili Dongjun always firmly believed that Xiao Ruojin would not harm Xiao Ruofeng.
After all, Xiao Ruofeng had sacrificed too much for his "good" older brother.
Not only did she personally break up the beautiful marriage between Ye Dingzhi and Yi Wenjun, but she also persuaded Yi Wenjun to keep the child who should not have been born. In the end, she even handed over the throne to Xiao Ruojin.
All of this was unbelievable to Baili Dongjun; Xiao Ruofeng had ended up like this.
Furthermore, even though Xiao Ruofeng knew that Baili Luochen had not rebelled, he still chose to go to Qiandong City to bring him back to Tianqi City.
This action further fueled Baili Dongjun's resentment towards his junior brother, and he held a grudge, refusing to go and help him.
Besides, isn't Xiao Ruofeng the Prince of Langya?
He has all the troops of Beili under his command, and the four guardians of Tianqi are also assisting him. Even if I don't go, he will be fine.
After weighing the options carefully, Baili Dongjun set off to find the medicine with peace of mind.
When he returned and learned that Xiao Ruofeng was dead, he felt as if the sky had fallen and the earth had collapsed, and he was filled with remorse.
At the same time, I realized how wrong and selfish my decision was, but now it is too late to undo it.
However, just when he was about to collapse, Sikong Changfeng appeared in time and handed him Xiao Ruofeng's letters from before his death, providing him with a perfect fig leaf to cover up the guilt and regret in his heart.
Look! It's not that they don't want to go and save people, but that their junior brother doesn't want them to go.
To escape this painful memory, Baili Dongjun focused all his energy on finding the medicinal ingredient, deliberately avoiding thinking about anything related to Xiao Ruofeng.
It seemed that only in this way could he pretend that this had never happened.
Four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Baili Dongjun has not thought about this past event for a long time.
Now that Xiao Yu had suddenly reopened his wounds, he was once again confronted with the surging guilt in his heart and his ugly thoughts, and a wave of shame and anger rose in his heart.
But Xiao Yu didn't stop talking. He looked at the three people in front of him with ugly expressions and gave a sarcastic smile:
"You and the Prince of Langya were either from the same school or close friends, and you were as close as could be back then, but in the end you all watched him die. Is this because you yourselves were flawed in character, unrighteous and unjust, or is it because Li Changsheng was corrupt, causing the upper beam to be crooked and the lower beam to be crooked as well?"
Ji Ruofeng suddenly raised the long staff in her hand, pointing it directly at Xiao Yu, and said angrily, "Who exactly are you? What is your purpose in bringing this up in public?"
Ji Ruofeng was one of the people who knew best why Xiao Ruofeng died, and he also knew that Xiao Ruofeng had no choice but to die at that time, so he did not feel much guilt about it.
At that time, Xiao Ruofeng was willing to die in order to help Emperor Mingde stabilize his throne and the court.
Even if he was unwilling, what could he do in the face of Xiao Ruofeng, who had made up his mind, and the Imperial Preceptor and the Grand Eunuch who were overseeing the execution together at the execution ground?
As for Li Xinyue...
Although she learned of Xiao Ruofeng's decision, she still went her own way and went to storm the execution ground after seven days of nurturing her sword.
What can he do about this?
There's nothing he can do.
The only way to vent their dissatisfaction and silently resist is to leave Tianqi City afterward and conceal their whereabouts.
So what right do you have to criticize this person in front of you?
If he really cared so much about Xiao Ruofeng, why didn't he step in to save him back then?
Instead, four years later, they've launched a massive attack on Snowmoon City and are here to berate them.
Thinking of this, Ji Ruofeng frowned, and various conspiracy theories began to surface in his mind.
Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng clearly shared the same thought as Ji Ruofeng. The three exchanged glances and finally turned their attention to Xiao Yu.
Facing the three people's gazes, Xiao Yu tilted his head slightly, looking at the azure sky, and suddenly smiled. Then, his smile abruptly turned icy cold: "My purpose? Of course, it's to..."
Before he finished speaking, he flicked his long sleeves, and a vast and mighty mental force, like a storm, pressed down on the three of them: "Of course, we have to vent our anger."
The three men's pupils constricted, and they immediately began to defend themselves with their fists, guns, or sticks.
"Xiao Se, look! Why are the people upstairs fighting? And who is that person wearing a mask? What are they saying?"
Lei Wujie was already anxious because he couldn't hear the commotion upstairs, and now that he saw the four of them suddenly fighting, he was even more anxious and wished he could grab the Killing Fear Sword and go up to see what was going on.
Little did they know that Xiao Se was far more anxious than Lei Wujie at this moment.
Ji Ruofeng is his master.
When he was demoted and left the capital, he encountered several ambushes on his way to Qingzhou.
His master was seriously injured while saving him, and there has been no news of him for many years. He has been hiding in Medicine King Valley to recuperate.
Now that he has learned of his return to the martial world, he forced himself to leave Medicine King Valley, but his master's injuries have not yet healed, so how can he participate in a battle of such a level?
As expected, Ji Ruofeng was defeated in the four-person duel in just one exchange. Before he could even use the Wuji Staff, he was struck by Xiao Yu's palm and fell off the Dengtian Pavilion.
Xiao Se's heart clenched suddenly. He could no longer care about anything else and immediately leaped up to catch the falling Ji Ruofeng.
"Master, how are you?"
After landing, Ji Ruofeng's body trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood.
Upon hearing Xiao Se's question, he forced a smile and weakly shook his head: "I'm fine, don't worry."
His gaze remained sharp as he watched the three people still locked in fierce combat above. He couldn't help but warn them, "Be careful! This person is strange. The strength he's displaying is completely inconsistent with his cultivation level of the Free and Easy Realm."
Upon hearing this, Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng were shocked and blurted out in disbelief, "He is at the Free Realm?"
Ji Ruofeng is the youngest hall master in the history of Baixiaotang, and he is the one who classifies the martial arts realms of the world's top masters.
Although his martial arts skills may not be the best in the world, when it comes to his understanding and mastery of martial arts, he is undoubtedly second to none.
Now that Ji Ruofeng asserts that Xiao Yu's martial arts are at the Free Realm, Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng have no doubt whatsoever.
The crowd watching from below the Heavenly Pavilion was in an uproar, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.
"How is this possible? How could this person be in the Free and Unfettered Realm?"
"That's right! Even the two great masters, the Wine Immortal and the Spear Immortal, couldn't do anything to him. How could he possibly be just a mere Free Realm cultivator?"
