Chapter 384: People’s hearts are sinister and it’s rare to be confused
So many examples of disastrous endings are before our eyes, and how many expressions of despair are still vivid in our minds.
But Liu Yan still felt a little lucky, thinking that based on the probability, so many people had failed, and maybe it would be her turn to be the lucky one.
I have no choice, the opportunity is right in front of me, I really don’t want to miss it.
Just as Liu Yan moved forward, Xiao Yi, who was sharp and quick, grabbed him, and then heard a scolding: "What are you going to do? Are you going to die?"
Liu Yan was awakened in an instant, and when she turned around, she saw Xiao Yi's nervous look.
Xiao Yi added: "I understand your mood very well, but no matter how you take risks, you must have a certain degree of certainty and stay rational."
Liu Yan smiled slightly and nodded to indicate that he understood.
Okay, the crisis is over.
Xiao Yi finally felt relieved and let go of Liu Yan's arm. He was really worried just now.
But this is not because he still has some feelings for Liu Yan.
The main reason is that we are currently in an allyship where both prosper and lose.
It doesn't matter if something happens to Liu Yan elsewhere.
But if Liu Yan is in danger under Xiao Yi's eyes, things will be in trouble.
Jin Yufeng is very likely to be unreasonable and thinks that Xiao Yi did not protect Liu Yan.
To be more serious, he would also suspect that Xiao Yi deliberately caused harm.
When the time comes, with the mentality of dying together, Jin Yufeng will most likely expose Xiao Yi's secret to the world, and it will not be fun by then.
It is precisely with this in mind that Xiao Yi will not allow anything to happen to Liu Yan in front of him.
At this moment, a quick figure rushed over.
Lei Jiu hurried over and saw that Xiao Yi and Liu Yan were safe and sound, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
This matter is so serious that even my mentor came here.
"Fortunately, you two are not stupid."
After saying that, Lei Jiu showed a solemn expression and shouted: "What are you doing here? Xiao Yi, you have a bright future. You don't need to use this ancient tree to change your destiny, so why take this risk." p>
Xiao Yi apologized, saying that he knew he was wrong and promised that he would not do it again next time.
Liu Yan also helped to explain: "It was the young master who asked us to pick leaves for him. We also knew afterwards that this tree was so dangerous."
Regarding such remarks, Lei Jiu looked displeased: "The sect has explicitly banned everyone from getting closer. Why don't you listen? You must listen to the young sect leader."
"Do you know...this..."
The words stopped abruptly in the middle of the sentence. Lei Jiu held back his breath and opened his mouth several times, but couldn't say anything.
Xiao Yi frowned, feeling that Lei Jiu wanted to say something important, but was afraid of it.
Liu Yan also noticed it and asked, "Uncle Master, do you have anything important to tell us?"
The atmosphere suddenly became dull. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they just didn’t know what to say.
I saw Lei Jiu hesitated for a while in his eyes. He mustered up the courage but couldn't.
At this time, something is obviously wrong.
If just touching this tree will be dangerous, then there is no need to say more and there is nothing to be afraid of.
Unless there is some ulterior secret behind it.
Finally, Lei Jiuyi gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Remember, no matter what the young disciple wants you to do, you have to reject it. If you don't want to die, stay away from him."
Xiao Yi understood as soon as he heard the words "Young Clan Master".
This problem does not lie with the Cangtian Ancient Tree, but with this "young sect leader".
Lei Jiu carefully looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, and then signaled Xiao Yi to follow him.
When Xiao Yi was about to speak, he saw that Lei Jiu had turned around and left, heading to a remote place.
In this situation, you basically need to find a safe place and tell a scary secret.
Although I had a bad premonition in my heart, I couldn't resist my curiosity.
Xiao Yi and Liu Yan quickly followed Lei Jiu, and the three of them came to a cliff one after another.
I saw Lei Jiu standing with his hands behind his back, his eyes extremely solemn, looking directly into Xiao Yi's eyes, the solemn atmosphere made people feel a little uncomfortable.
"Xiao Yi, remember, Lei Shenghui will try his best to send his son Lei Bashan to the throne of the sect leader. To do this, in addition to Lei Bashan's continuous self-improvement, he must also clear away all stumbling blocks." When he heard the word "stumbling block" again, Xiao Yi felt horrified and understood what was going on.
Liu Yan is not stupid, and he also vaguely guessed it.
Then, Lei Jiu said: "Xiao Yi, in your opinion, once Lei Bashan becomes the master of the sect, will you obey his orders and surrender to him in your heart?"
Once these words were spoken, it was simply a huge psychological test.
Xiao Yi frowned, knowing that this question was difficult to answer, so he could only choose to remain silent, which was equivalent to acquiescence.
There is no need to say more about what follows. To connect the previous content, Lei Bashan regards Xiao Yi as a stumbling block.
In other words, those who are strong and among the top five true disciples are all stumbling blocks for Lei Bashan to ascend to the position of sect leader.
Neither Xiao Yi nor Jing Yihan will admit Lei Bashan, let alone obey orders.
Once Lei Bashan loses the support of Thunder Saint, the position of the sect leader will be in danger.
This is why Lei Bashan wants Xiao Yi and Liu Yan to risk picking the leaves of the ancient tree in the sky, just to clear the stumbling blocks.
However, if you think about it carefully, isn't the biggest stumbling block the number one true disciple Luo Beichuan?
No matter what, the person Lei Bashan should deal with first is not Xiao Yi, but the one with the strongest strength.
But when I think about it, Luo Beichuan is usually gentle and a bit casual and sloppy, so he probably won't compete for the position of the sect leader.
Lei Jiu sighed slightly: "This is where Luo Beichuan is smart."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi was shocked, and secretly wondered if Luo Beichuan's contented and contented nature was deliberately pretending.
Hide your ambitions, but expose yourself too early.
The purpose is to make Lei Sheng, Lei Bashan and his son relax their vigilance.
At the same time, he showed his strength and talent and gained the attention and cultivation of the sect.
In this way, others can define him as a supporting role.
Oh my god, if this is really the case, then this Luo Beichuan is too scheming.
Lei Jiu shook his head, showing a look of helplessness.
"Xiao Yi, if possible, leave Wan Lei Tianmen as soon as possible."
"I really don't know how many people will be sacrificed in order to achieve his success."
"Wan Lei Tianmen may experience a catastrophe as a result."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi's heart sank.
He absolutely believed what Lei Jiu said.
Unless it was a last resort, Lei Jiu would not say anything to Xiao Yi about leaving. He must have smelled something?
