"The young master of the Stone Clan is really too much. Before I came here, I heard that he was different from the ordinary Stone Clan people, but I didn't expect him to be the same."
"The sect leader treats him as a friend, but he abandons us like worn out shoes."
The girls were chattering and angrily discussing Shi Jian's attitude.
In their eyes, Gu Chen had been greatly wronged. The girls' tempers were all the same, so they vigorously complained about Shi Jian's fault.
"Brother Shi has always been a very gentle person with very special ideas. Don't misunderstand him."
Gu Chen sighed and took the initiative to explain to Shi Jian.
He still remembered the many times Shi Jian had helped him, and his great dream. Such a kind and upright person could never change easily.
"Brother Gu, why are you still speaking for him?" Zhao Rou couldn't help but said, feeling that Gu Chen was too tolerant towards his friends.
Gu Chen smiled bitterly. The girls had only seen Shi Jian's unkind side today, and this was their first impression. It would be difficult to change their minds.
"Let's think about what to do next."
The Ghost King helplessly stopped the discussion among the girls. There were three women in one drama, and there were eight women around Gu Chen. If they continued to criticize Shi Jian, they might not be able to finish it until the day after tomorrow.
What they should consider now is whether to continue to stay in the Western Desert and try to persuade him, or whether to leave for Beiyuan as soon as possible.
As soon as the Ghost King said this, everyone looked embarrassed, and in the end they could only look at Gu Chen.
Seeing that it is impossible to form an alliance with the West Desert Stone Clan, perhaps leaving early is a wise choice.
Gu Chen didn't respond for a while, and he didn't know what to do now.
"Overlord."
At this time, a voice suddenly came from the ground.
"who?"
Everyone's expressions changed, and they didn't notice anyone sneaking up!
The yellow sand in front of everyone was seen spinning and flying, and soon turned into a stone man. It turned out to be the leader of the Stone Clan, Shi Zangfeng!
"Senior, why are you here?"
Gu Chen's face was full of surprise. As the leader of the clan, even if he wanted to recall them, he didn't need to come here in person, right?
"Don't take what I said in the main hall too seriously."
Shi Zangfeng looked at Gu Chen and sighed.
Seeing that his attitude was kind and not aggressive at all, everyone looked at each other in shock.
In particular, the Ghost King was extremely surprised. Didn't the leader of the Stone Tribe have a feud with the Qinglin Killer God when he was young? Why did he treat them with courtesy?
"Why, I was a little polite to you, but you are not used to it?"
Seeing everyone's reaction, Shi Zangfeng snorted coldly.
The Ghost King came back to his senses and smiled bitterly. "I heard that Patriarch Shi had some disagreements with my senior Qinglin of Heavenly Court. I thought you..."
"You still think I will teach you a lesson so hard that you will never come back?"
Shi Zangfeng teased, and the Ghost King was immediately speechless.
"Qinglin and I did have some disagreements when we were young, but I don't actually hate him. On the contrary, there are not many people I admire in my life, and he is one of them."
There was a look of regret in Shi Zangfeng's eyes, "I even felt sad for him when I heard that he died in Huangfu Wuji's crusade against heaven. After all, he was an indomitable guy. Back then, he was just a mortal, and he dared to fight with
I challenged him. It turned out that I was thinking of fighting him again, but I didn't expect that we would be separated forever."
Shi Zangfeng's words surprised everyone. They didn't expect the Stone Clan leader to have this attitude towards the Qinglin Killing God.
Gu Chen's mind was not on this. He looked at Shi Jian's father and asked seriously, "Senior, can you tell me why Brother Shi seems to be a different person now?"
Shi Zangfeng looked at him deeply, "Some time ago, my son went to congratulate the new emperor of China on his enthronement ceremony. I hope that the two tribes can live in peace and understand each other."
Gu Chen nodded. This kind of behavior is what he knows as Shi Jian. He has been working hard for the understanding and coexistence of the two races for a long time.
"However, when he arrived in the imperial capital and visited many members of the Huangfu family, he was frequently subjected to huge personal insults."
Shi Zangfeng's eyes turned cold when he said this, "The people of the Huangfu family don't regard my Stone Clan as a human being at all, they only treat me as a humble race! They played with my son many times and made him eat human food. You may
I don’t know, for me, the Stone Clan, eating human food is like you humans eating feces!”
Although Shi Zangfeng's words were indecent, they were extremely vivid.
"My son is kind-hearted. He forces himself to eat human food for the sake of the overall interests of the two races. He is humble and humble. However, the people in Huangfu's family always enjoy playing tricks on him."
"When he finally met Huang Furen, the third son of the Huangfu family, he bluntly said that my Stone Clan was lowly and unworthy of sharing a meal with him, which made my son's guards couldn't help it anymore and started fighting with them."
"My son is in Luoyang, which is their territory. The final result is that the guard he grew up with died in Luoyang, and after suffering all the humiliation, he returned to the West Desert in despair!"
After Shi Zangfeng finished speaking, Gu Chen and others fell silent.
The eight women who were speaking ill of Shi Jian just now were speechless for a moment and sympathized with Shi Jian's plight.
He didn't expect that he would receive such treatment from the Huangfu family. No wonder he is treating the human race like this now.
"Jian'er returned to the Western Desert. Everyone in our clan learned about it. They were all filled with righteous indignation. If I hadn't tried my best to stop him, they would have even wanted to send troops to Kyushu."
Shi Zangfeng was angry and helpless. "My son has been kind since he was a child. His dream is that the human race and the stone race can coexist peacefully, whether in the Western Desert or Kyushu."
"I used to think his ideas were too naive and unrealistic, but in fact I silently supported them. He is a tough-minded person, but his heart was completely chilled in Luoyang. And once a person's heart is chilled, it will be very difficult for him to do so."
It’s hard to recover.”
"So don't take his attitude towards you too seriously. He would never treat his friends like this."
After Shi Zangfeng finished speaking, Gu Chen fell completely silent.
He felt sorry for Shi Jian and was angry that there were scum like the Huangfu family in the human race.
Shi Jian was the most virtuous person he knew, yet he was so humiliated!
"Senior, what should I do to make Brother Shi believe that not all humans are like that?"
Gu Chen murmured.
Shi Zangfeng shook his head, "I don't know either. Jian'er has become taciturn since he came back. He is indifferent even when I talk to him."
"I, a member of the Stone Tribe, look rough on the outside, but I am actually very sensitive on the inside. Jian'er is always very generous on weekdays, but in fact he is the most traditional Stone Tribe, with a sensitive and fragile heart."
Gu Chen stopped talking. At this moment, he seemed to be able to empathize with the sadness in his friend's heart.
Shi Zangfeng looked at the Ghost King and others again, "You want to form an alliance with our Stone Clan. In fact, I have this intention in my heart. The current situation is difficult, and our Stone Clan is relatively weak, and we can only survive by joining together."
"However, the key to the problem right now is not how much help you can bring to our tribe, but that a large part of our tribe has lost confidence in the human race."
"They are sensitive and feel that they have been discriminated against by the human race. They are unwilling to form an alliance with the human race no matter what. And the crux of all this lies with my son. So only by solving my son's heartache can the alliance you want be realized.
possible."
Shi Zangfeng told the key to the problem, and everyone looked at each other in shock.
"Probably the most difficult thing to treat in this world is heart disease!"
The Ghost King said seriously that heart ailments still require heart medicine. However, this time Shi Jian was completely disappointed with the human race. How could they make him change his mind?
