() Under the dim sunset, a thin figure, holding a broom, silently swept the leaves and dust on the steps.
Some of the Ming Jianfeng outer sect disciples who passed by on the steps walked straight over, while others took a second look at the 'cleaner' and then chose to ignore it. Others would stop and use
He was ridiculed with harsh words, and then Shi Shiran left with a satisfied expression.
No one noticed that when the 'cleaner' bent down, his expression was so gloomy that he could almost drip water, his eyes were full of endless resentment and anger, and his hands were holding the broom tightly.
, and she clenched it even more tightly, almost breaking the broom.
"Jiang Wen! Damn Jiang Wen!"
Silent curses continued to come out of his mouth, as if this was the only way to vent the resentment in his heart, "If it weren't for you, how could I have fallen into this situation? I swear, I will kill you, peel off your skin and cramps, and bruise your bones."
Ashes, otherwise it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"
"Zhang Song, what are you muttering about? Why don't you hurry up and start working!"
At this moment, a stern voice sounded from behind him, "If you can't sweep the remaining nine hundred steps before dark, you don't have to eat dinner!"
"Hmph, the villain succeeds!"
Looking at the guy in front of him who once could only obey his orders, but now yells at him from time to time, the anger in Zhang Chong's heart swelled.
In the past, although his cultivation level was not high, he was considered a prominent figure among the outer disciples by relying on his brother's reputation as an inner disciple. However, since his attempt to seize Jiang Wen's real estate failed, along with Jiang Wen's step by step
After his rise, his status among the outer disciples of Ming Jianfeng quickly plummeted.
Especially, after Jiang Wen won the first place in the outer disciple competition, all the rumors about Jiang Wen secretly created by Zhang Chong were not proven, and he became a street rat that everyone shouted at.
Although Jiang Wen did not specifically retaliate against him, and had even forgotten him long ago, some low-level outer disciples, in order to please Jiang Wen, spared no effort to come up with various ways to punish him. Now
Letting him clean the steps is considered a kinder form of corporal punishment.
However, in his opinion, the pain he suffered was all planned by Jiang Wen behind the scenes, with the purpose of retaliating against him and making his life worse than death. Therefore, the resentment towards Jiang Wen in his heart not only did not diminish at all, but also increased.
It is increasing day by day.
However, with Jiang Wen's rapid rise, he found that the gap between himself and his opponent was getting wider and wider, and the chance of revenge became slimmer and slimmer.
In particular, today's inner disciple selection competition ended. Jiang Wen passed the Tianjian Tai and Wenxinlu assessments one after another, and almost confirmed his identity as an inner disciple. In his heart, he was completely desperate. This kind of resentment, pain and helplessness
The despair mixed with unwillingness made his state of mind extremely distorted, almost to the point of collapse!
Soon, night fell, and the only sounds left on the empty steps were the curses muttered by Zhang Chong and the rustling sound of the broom sweeping the floor.
"Hehe, interesting!"
In the darkness, a slightly hoarse voice sounded from behind him, "Since you hate that kid Jiang Wen so much, why don't you kill him?"
"Who, who is speaking there?" Zhang Chong immediately turned around.
From the voice, he knew that the person coming was an adult. He thought he had been discovered by Ming Jianfeng's deacon, and his heart immediately rose to his throat.
"You're lucky to meet me!"
A figure shrouded in black robes walked out of the night. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, Zhang Chong could feel the powerful aura on him.
"Zhang Chong, disciple of Ming Jianfeng, pays homage to senior!!"
Seeing the other party's dress, Zhang Chong immediately understood that the other party was definitely not a disciple of Ming Jianfeng. His heart that had just been put down was raised again. Such a mysterious master came to Ming Jianfeng late at night. He must be a disciple of Ming Jianfeng.
If you have a conspiracy and uncover his whereabouts, will you be silenced?
For a moment, his thoughts were racing and his breathing became rapid.
"You still have not answered my question!"
The mysterious black-robed man didn't seem to be in a hurry to do his own thing. He said with a hoarse voice and a smile: "Since you hate Jiang Wen so much, why can't you find a way to kill him? You can only chatter behind his back."
Insult, no wonder no one thinks highly of you!"
"you...."
The man in black robe seemed to be very good at arousing other people's emotions. Zhang Chong's anger was aroused again. He gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Of course I want to kill him, but his cultivation has improved too fast. I...
.I am no match for him!”
"If you can't beat him, don't you need to take revenge?"
The black-robed man smiled sarcastically, "Speaking of which, you are still afraid of death. You are a coward, a weakling with no talent, and a coward who can be bullied by everyone..."
"I'm not....."
Zhang Chong's anger was completely aroused, as if he had lost his mind, and he actually roared at the man in black robe, "I am not a coward, I am not a softie, I want to kill Jiang Wen, I must kill him."
....."
"I know you're not a coward, so you don't have to shout so loudly!"
Unexpectedly, the man in black robe softened his tone, and his voice with bewitching power sounded again, "If you want revenge, you have a chance now! As for me, I am here just for Jiang Wen this time.
, because he got something that did not belong to him, so he deserves to die. But he has been staying in the forbidden area behind Ming Jianfeng. There is an old guy there. I am not his opponent. What about your mission?
I just tried every means to trick Jiang Wen out. As long as he leaves Ming Jianfeng and Lingyun Sect, I can kill him at any time and take away his things. And you can also take the opportunity to take revenge, how about it?"
"no!"
Zhang Chong's teeth were chattering, and a spiteful expression spread all over his face, "I will kill him with my own hands, disembowel him, peel off his skin and cramps, and survive all the torture in the world before he can die. Otherwise,
It’s too cheap for him!”
"Okay, I'll leave him to you!"
The man in black robe agreed wholeheartedly, and then asked, "But, what are you going to do to lure Jiang Wen out?"
"Although Jiang Wen is young, he is very scheming. It is difficult for me to fool him alone!"
Zhang Chong had planned various revenge details in his mind for a long time, and now he finally had the opportunity to implement it, so he naturally opened his mouth and said, "However, I know that there is another person on Ming Jianfeng who also hates Jiang Wen.
, my plan will be perfect if he is added to it, and Jiang Wen will die without a burial place!"
In the back mountain of Mingjianfeng, Jiang Wen’s exclusive palace is brightly lit!
The lively banquet had just ended. Jiang Wen drank some wine, but his mind became clearer and clearer. After the banquet, the words Zou Rong said before leaving have been lingering in his mind.
"A tiger has no intention of hurting others, but people have the heart to hide themselves from tigers. Hua Xingfan has already regarded the position of head of Lingyun Sect as his own. Your appearance has already posed a huge threat to him, so you chose to fight with him today."
It's really not a wise move to break up the relationship, as it will only make the conflict between the two of you obvious and allow him to deal with you more blatantly!"
Jiang Wen did not regret what he had done at all. If he continued to be forbearing in that situation, it would only make the other party more aggressive. However, Zou Rong's words still caused him to think deeply. At least he
He has become serious and officially regards Hua Xingfan as his opponent.
"Rival? Maybe!"
A cold light flashed on Jiang Wen's face, he pulled out the Yunji sword from his waist, flicked the sword lightly with his fingers, and said lightly, "I hope you won't do anything drastic, otherwise, I might, really
Will kill you!"
Although not much is known about Hua Xingfan, the shadow of Hua Tianling can be seen everywhere in him, and he has an ambition that is not inferior to that of his father, so he is a formidable enemy to Jiang Wenru who was born out of nowhere. It is a pity that
, he is not Hua Tianling, and Jiang Wen is not Meng Guxuan. If two tigers fight, one of them will be injured!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A brief knock on the door interrupted Jiang Wen's thoughts!
When he came to visit in the middle of the night, he thought the visitor was a friend who knew him well. Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, he saw an unfamiliar face.
"Senior Brother Zhang, I'm here late at night. I wonder if I have any advice?" Jiang Wen saluted and welcomed the visitor into the house.
Although he said he was unfamiliar, he was not actually unfamiliar at all. The person who came here was named Zhang Yue, and he was one of the disciples of the inner sect of Ming Jianfeng. Although his cultivation level was not high, he had a good reputation and was very popular.
"Junior Brother Jiang, there is no need to be polite!"
Zhang Yue knew that he was not as good as Jiang Wen in terms of cultivation and status, and he did not pretend to be an inner disciple. He smiled and said: "I don't dare to be a teacher, but I just have something I want to discuss with Junior Brother Jiang!"
"Whatever it is, Senior Brother Zhang just says it's okay!" Jiang Wen said.
"Is such that!"
Zhang Yue organized his speech, and then said, "I have a distant cousin named Zhang Chong, who is also a disciple of our Ming Jianfeng. A few months ago, he was punished by Deacon Wang Jun for offending you, Junior Brother Jiang."
It has been two months of hard labor. Today he came to me and said that he had repented and wanted to ask me to speak on his behalf, begging Junior Brother Jiang to let him go. And he also said that in order to show his sincerity, there is a person who
This is a major secret related to Junior Brother Jiang, and I want to tell you personally!"
Secret! What secret? Jiang Wen felt a trace of doubt in his heart!
After such a long time, he had already forgotten Zhang Chong, so he said with a smile without any doubt: "I am not the kind of villain who will seek retribution. Since it is Senior Brother Zhang who is the one who speaks for you personally, I will not."
If you argue with him again, let this matter pass like this!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yue immediately breathed a sigh of relief, a smile broke out on his face, and he cupped his hands and said, "Then I will replace Brother Shi. Thank you Junior Brother Jiang for your magnanimity!"
Speaking of which, the relationship between Zhang Yue and Zhang Chong is not close, they are just ordinary distant blood relatives.
In the past, Zhang Chong relied on his reputation to show off his power, and for the sake of family ties, he turned a blind eye. Later, Zhang Chong was punished with hard labor for offending Jiang Wen, but he also ignored him.
Afraid of catching fire.
Today, he couldn't stand Zhang Chong's pleading, so he agreed to negotiate with him. On the way here, he was still a little unhappy, but with the problem solved now, he not only fulfilled his promise, but also took advantage of the opportunity.
Having a relationship with Jiang Wen can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
