If I could only use one word to describe Yang Xiao's character, the most appropriate one might be "aloof".
Yang Xiao was a young man who achieved great success. He learned a lot of advanced martial arts at a young age, and became the Mingjiao Guangzuo Envoy. He could be said to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
In addition, he has a handsome and handsome appearance, is also knowledgeable and has a wide range of knowledge. Regardless of the aura of his role, he can definitely be regarded as the favored son of the emperor.
It is precisely because of this that no one in the world who is famous in the world can think highly of him except Yang Dingtian, the former leader of the Ming Cult and his good friend Fan Yao, the Right Envoy of Light.
Although Meng Xiuyuan has gained some fame in recent years, to Yang Xiao, who has been living on Zuowang Peak all year round and looks down on the martial arts in the Central Plains, he only thinks that he is a young man praised by mediocre people, but he has some real ability.
At this time, Meng Xiuyuan actually spoke to him in such a tone, and Yang Xiao was naturally very unhappy.
But thinking about the big things in his mind, he still took a deep breath and resisted not attacking Meng Xiuyuan immediately. He just snorted with a straight face, turned a deaf ear to Meng Xiuyuan's words, turned and walked in the direction of the Sky Eagle Sect in the distance.
The expression on his face seemed to say, "I don't want to be exposed to the same experience as a child with a dirty mouth like you."
Meng Xiuyuan saw this and didn't care. He would have time to deal with Yang Xiao later. The most important thing now was to find out what happened.
So he pulled Song Qingshu aside to a quiet place and asked carefully:
"Qingshu, how did you get raped by Yang Xiaojie?"
When Song Qingshu heard this, he scratched his head and said with embarrassment:
"After you left, I have been busy. After about a month or two, I was almost done with the things I was doing, but Yang Xiao suddenly came to the Hongmei Villa alone and said something was wrong.
I want to see you and ask where you have been.
When he reported his name, I was frightened. I knew how powerful he was as the Demon Sect's Left Envoy of Light, so I thought of using words to delay him for a moment, and then find the right opportunity to sneak attack him and create an opportunity to escape.
But who would have thought that when it came time to take action, he would be restrained in just two moves."
"Are you actually here for me..." Meng Xiuyuan couldn't figure it out, but he still apologized to Song Qingshu:
"Then it looks like I was wrong. I shouldn't have been lazy and left you alone in Hongmei Villa."
When Song Qingshu heard this, he didn't complain about Meng Xiuyuan, he just said jokingly:
"Hahaha, my little uncle, who has always been wise and powerful, actually makes mistakes sometimes. It seems that I, the hostage, deserved it.
Then little uncle, you owe me once."
Meng Xiuyuan was delighted when he heard this. Seeing Song Qingshu's relaxed look, he thought it was nothing serious, so he became more relieved, patted his shoulder and said:
"Okay, I owe you this once. If you have any requests when we go back to the mountain, just ask.
But answer me first, you just said that Yang Xiao asked you some questions, what were they about?"
Song Qingshu pondered for a moment, then slowly replied:
"It's nothing too important.
On the one hand, he mentioned Ji Xiaofu. I happened to be clear about it, so I told him that Ji Xiaofu was pregnant and had a daughter, and that you saved her life in front of the exterminator.
Haha, little uncle, you can also imagine that when I was kidnapped by him, I was so scared that I must have wanted to say more nice things to stop him from killing me.
After hearing this, Yang Xiao was really moved. This trip to the Central Plains may have been to find Ji Xiaofu and her daughter.
Secondly, he asked me from the very beginning, how did you kill the Green-winged Bat King Wei Yixiao, and wanted me to tell him all the details.
But when I saw his look, it didn't look like he wanted to avenge the vampire demon.
Because when he mentioned this, he saw neither sorrow nor anger.
On the contrary, what he cares about most is whether you got anything from Na Wei Yixiao."
"What can I get from Wei Yixiao..." Meng Xiuyuan pondered after hearing this.
After killing Na Wei Yixiao, Meng Xiuyuan did not search his body. Naturally, he did not know what Na Wei Yixiao was carrying that made Yang Xiao care so much.
But seeing that Song Qingshu couldn't give him any more news, Meng Xiuyuan stopped delaying and said to him:
"Okay, leave the rest of the matter to your junior uncle and me. I will definitely seek justice for you.
As for you, protect yourself and try to hide behind me.
If you have no choice, you will take action later. If a master attacks you, don't be afraid of losing face. Call me immediately so that I can rescue you in time."
"Yes." Song Qingshu naturally understood the seriousness of the matter and nodded in agreement.
Logically speaking, at this time, it would be the safest choice to let Song Qingshu go down the mountain as soon as possible and return to Wudang alone.
Just judging from the intentions of Yang Xiao and others, it was obvious that they would not let Song Qingshu go so easily.
Sure enough, while the two were talking, Yang Xiao and Yin Tianzheng had also finished their greetings and turned to look this way:
"Young Master Meng, please come over and talk."
As soon as Yang Xiao said this, his men all approached a few steps closer and closed in a vague encirclement, as if they were afraid that Meng Xiuyuan and Song Qingshu would escape.
Meng Xiuyuan smiled slightly at this and didn't care, leading Song Qingshu towards Yang Xiao and Yin Tianzheng.
"Alright, Ambassador Yang Zuo, Shaoxia Meng have also arrived at this time.
What important thing do you have, please tell me quickly."
Yin Tianzheng looked at Meng Xiuyuan and the two approaching, then turned to Yang Xiao and asked.
"Well, Meng Shaoxia, what I'm going to ask is very important, and I hope you can answer it honestly."
As Yang Xiao spoke, he took a few steps towards Meng Xiuyuan and already stood within two feet of Meng Xiuyuan.
"You tell me first and listen." Meng Xiuyuan was noncommittal.
It stands to reason that there is no need for him to talk nonsense with Yang Xiao here, but everything about this matter is surprising, so Meng Xiuyuan wants to find out what happened first.
"The first thing I want to ask is that there are rumors in the world that it was Meng Shaoxia who personally killed me to teach the Green Winged Bat King Wei Yixiao.
Please tell me, is this true?"
"I was the one who killed him. One sword pierced his heart." Meng Xiuyuan replied without any secret.
When Yang Xiao and Yin Tianzheng heard this, they both frowned slightly.
Although Wei Yixiao had a bad relationship with both of them and was a rival for the position of leader back then, he was still a member of the Ming Cult and had worked under Na Yang Dingtian for many years.
Suddenly hearing Meng Xiuyuan confirm the matter in such a relaxed tone, even though both of them had heard the rumor earlier, they still felt uncomfortable in their hearts.
However, the two of them would not ask such stupid questions as "Why did you want to kill me, the Green-winged Bat King of the Ming Cult?" They had already heard about the Bat Extermination Conference, and they naturally knew how Wei Yixiao aroused public anger.
So Yang Xiao just nodded and then asked bluntly:
"So Meng Shaoxia, after you killed Wei Yixiao, did you see a set of two-foot-long black cards on him?"
"A black card that's two feet long?" Meng Xiuyuan was a little confused when he heard this. He didn't know what Yang Xiao was talking about.
On the contrary, when Yin Tianzheng on the side heard Yang Xiao's words, he immediately trembled, and lightning seemed to flash in his eyes:
"Yang Xiao, you mean that Wei Yixiao found the Holy Fire Token?!"
…
Meng Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this. He never imagined how this matter was related to the Holy Fire Order.
Yang Xiao didn't hesitate and explained the whole story:
"Although Wei Yixiao and I had many conflicts, after hearing the news of his death, I still sent people to conduct a thorough investigation.
When I first heard that he had been sucking blood from people for a long time near the Kunlun Sect, which led to the so-called "Bat Extermination Conference", I felt a little weird.
Although he is not a kind person, at least he is not a fool. There is no reason to deliberately build grudges with others and stay there after arousing everyone's anger.
After a long time, I finally found out that someone saw him fighting a warrior dressed as a warrior from the Western Regions before that. Although he was injured as a result of being defeated, he snatched something from the master from the Western Regions and escaped.
It seems that he was seriously injured, which aroused the coldness in his body, so he had to stay near the Kunlun Sect to enrich the warrior's energy and control the cold poison.
And the reason why Meng Shaoxia was able to kill Bat King was probably because he did it while he was seriously injured..."
Speaking of this, Yang Xiao couldn't help but glance at Meng Xiuyuan, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Immediately, without waiting for Meng Xiuyuan's reaction, Yang Xiao continued:
"I later went to the Kunlun Sect and interrogated He Taichong and his wife who were handling King Bat's body, but I couldn't find any trace of the Holy Fire Order.
They said that before taking over, you were the only one who had personal contact with King Bat, Meng Shaoxia.
So I looked for traces and found Hongmei Villa. I didn't expect to see you anywhere, only Young Master Song was still there.
I had no choice but to take Shaoxia Song to the Central Plains, and use this as an excuse to write a letter asking Shaoxia Meng to come for a while.
Many of them have offended me, and I hope you can forgive me."
Yang Xiao's words seemed very polite, but looking at his expression and listening to his tone, there was no hint of apology in it. Instead, he looked condescending.
Yin Tianzheng was used to Yang Xiao's attitude and didn't care about it. He just hurriedly asked:
"How did you know that what Wei Yixiao took from the masters of the Western Region was the Holy Fire Token?"
Yang Xiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly when he heard this, with a playful smile on his face:
“That’s the most crucial part.
Wei Yixiao fought with the Westerner in an inn, in full view of everyone.
The reason why I spent a lot of time investigating this matter is because I found almost everyone who witnessed this scene at the scene and asked them about the situation at that time.
Because when the two of them were fighting over each other, something happened to fall on the ground, and everyone could see it clearly.
Listening to their descriptions, it is obvious that everyone is talking about how I teach the Holy Fire Order."
When Yin Tianzheng heard this, his white eyebrows furrowed more and more, he thought for a moment, and then said in deep thought:
"The Holy Fire Order has been lost for nearly a hundred years. Except for word of mouth from the top brass of our Ming Cult, the rest of the world probably doesn't know what it looks like.
Even if someone wants to use this to design my Mingjiao, they will definitely not be able to do it.
From this point of view, unless someone in my sect deliberately used this as bait to lure Bat King into taking the bait, this Holy Fire Order must be true.
Yang Xiao, after you learned such important news, why did you invite me here to share it?"
At the end, Yin Tianzheng couldn't help but ask Yang Xiao.
"Hahaha, Eagle King. In your mind, am I, Yang Xiao, just that kind of villain?
Mingjiao disciples all know that whoever owns the Holy Fire Order will be the leader of the religion. This is the ancestral rule of the sect.
But the Holy Fire Order is a dead thing after all, and this Mingjiao is still made of people.
If people's hearts are dissatisfied and one by one they obey and disobey, then the leader of the religion will be elected, and in the end it will be our Ming Cult who will be harmed.
At this time, among the high-ranking officials of our Ming Cult, the Dragon King in Purple Shirt has already apostatized and left the religion. The right envoy Fan Yao and the Lion King Xie Xun are missing. The Bat King has just died, and there are really not many people left.
So I not only wrote a letter to you, King Eagle, but also sent people to invite the five scattered people. I just wanted to give everyone a chance to compete together and see who can get the Holy Fire Token based on their ability.
But now it seems that the five scattered people will not arrive.
This Holy Fire Order should be fought over by you and me today.
No matter who wins, the other party should also be convinced.
Our Mingjiao has since reunited as one and will surely thrive again."
At the end of the speech, Yang Xiao looked high-spirited and put his hands behind his back, looking magnanimous.
When Yin Tianzheng heard this, his heart was also filled with excitement, and his eyes looking at Yang Xiao were more kind than usual.
Only Meng Xiuyuan, who was left alone by the two of them, couldn't laugh or cry.
"If I say I haven't seen it, would you believe it?"
Meng Xiuyuan's sudden words extinguished the enthusiasm between the two of them.
"What?! It shouldn't be...
The Holy Fire Order is such an important thing, and with Wei Yixiao's conceited character, he will definitely carry it with him."
Yin Tianzheng looked at Meng Xiuyuan in surprise.
"The Eagle King doesn't believe what I say?" Meng Xiuyuan didn't explain much, but looked at Yin Tianzheng indifferently.
When Yin Tianzheng saw Meng Xiuyuan's attitude, he was very hesitant. After thinking for a long time, he spoke again:
"Meng Shaoxia, I believe in you.
You tried your best to save my daughter's life at Zhang Zhenren's birthday banquet, and you have been running around all year round to protect my Wuji grandson from the cold poison.
Susu told me all these things in her letters.
I can’t thank you enough for such kindness.”
As he spoke, Yin Tianzheng ignored the obstruction of his son behind him and stepped back, saying that he would not press Meng Xiuyuan for questioning.
Meng Xiuyuan nodded to him, then turned to Yang Xiao and asked equally calmly:
"What about you, Yang Zuo?"
Yang Xiao shook his head slightly:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Meng. Yang is the most distrustful of others in his life, let alone how important the matter is at this time.
But don’t worry, young hero, I won’t use cruel means to force you.
Among the people accompanying me, there are men who are from the Western Regions and are good at the art of soul transfer and soul seizing.
All you need to do is give up resistance and cooperate with him to try the soul-moving technique, and you will naturally be able to prove the truth of what you said."
This so-called soul-transferring technique sounds powerful, but it is actually just hypnosis. When Guo Jing and Huang Rong broke into the Beggar Clan, there was an elder from the Beggar Clan who was good at this technique, and they almost fell into trouble.
But even so, Meng Xiuyuan didn't want to cooperate with Yang Xiao.
After all, why?
"Yang Zuoshi, if I don't cooperate, what will you do?"
Meng Xiuyuan looked at Yang Xiao with a smile and asked nonchalantly.
Yang Xiao's face became serious when he heard this, and he answered:
"If you don't want to cooperate, then no wonder Yang is being rude.
Meng Shaoxia was able to catch up with the seriously injured Bat King, so he must have outstanding Qinggong skills.
It's a pity that you are within three feet of me now, but you can't escape."
As he spoke, Yang Xiao flicked his finger, and an iron bead shot in front of Meng Xiuyuan with a bang. It was only an inch away from Meng Xiuyuan's toes and embedded deeply into the ground.

Meng Xiuyuan didn't panic at this, and didn't make any move to avoid it. Instead, the smile on his face grew brighter, and he asked calmly:
"Yang Zuoshi, do you think that because of your high kung fu, you can force others to do things they don't want to do?"
Yang Xiao didn't expect Meng Xiuyuan to say such things, but he didn't think too much and replied proudly:
"If you insist on saying that, there's nothing wrong with it.
Above the arena, strength is the most respected.
Meng Shaoxia, if you feel that I am not doing this properly, you can naturally teach me a lesson based on your ability."
On the side, Yin Tianzheng saw the two of them suddenly quarreling with each other, with a hint of daggers drawn, and wanted to speak out to dissuade them.
But before the words left his mouth, he was interrupted by Meng Xiuyuan's hand.
"Eagle King, you don't need to say more.
I have been waiting for a long time for Yang Zuoshi to be a match like this.
My second senior brother Yu Lianzhou once taught me a unique skill, but I never had the chance to use it.
How lucky you are to meet Yang Zuoshi today.
I think that only by practicing it on him can I learn this skill in vain."
