Chapter 10: The truth doesn't hurt people; only when one cannot bear the truth, the truth

"You..."

Mu Nianci didn't know what to say for a while. After walking in the Jianghu for many years, she had never met someone with such a tricky and strange temperament.

"As a descendant of Peach Blossom Island, being so rebellious is normal." Wang Chuyi said solemnly:

"The most important thing now is for us to work together and kill our way out of here."

Immediately, led by Ma Yu and Qiu Chuji, Yang Tiexin and the others walked out of the inn lobby one by one, while Guo Jing said to Huang Rong:

"Uncle Yang is in danger, I absolutely cannot sit idly by. There are no eyes for swords and swords outside, it is very dangerous. You should stay by Brother Zhuang's side; he will definitely be able to keep you safe."

"I don't care for his protection. I'm wearing a soft hedgehog armor that is invulnerable to swords and guns, and my lightness skills are good. I can better protect myself than you."

Huang Rong smiled:

"Jing brother, you should worry more about yourself. Don't get hurt by arrows later."

After speaking, she didn't even look at Zhuang Buran and ran out with Guo Jing.

Not long after, there was a burst of shouting and killing outside the inn, followed by the sound of arrows breaking through the air.

Zhuang Buran turned his head suddenly, only to see an arrow pass by his ear and nail into the pillar behind him.

In a few breaths, a few people who were covered in blood and very embarrassed hurried back to the lobby. Most of them had some small injuries, among which Yang Tiexin, who had the worst martial arts, had the most wounds, while Bao Xiruo seemed to be well protected, and Huang Rong had the treasure armor to protect her, so she was just breathing a little fast.

Zhuang Buran's ears moved, and he couldn't help sighing:

"A table of dishes was wasted."

In an instant, arrows rained into the lobby.

Everyone found cover to avoid the arrows, except for a green-robed youth who was so calm, walking around the lobby two or three times, and dodged the airtight rain of arrows.

"Good lightness skills!"

Qiu Chuji, who loved martial arts the most, couldn't help but shout well.

Ma Yu also sighed:

"I heard in the past that the essence of Peach Blossom Island's lightness skills lies in the word 'light,' which can make the figure flicker like a ghost, as if riding the clouds and mist, moving silently without feet touching the ground. Now hearing is not as good as seeing."

As the Jin army outside the inn stopped, Huang Rong ran out from the corner and couldn't help but say cool words:

"It is said that a married daughter is like splashed water. I haven't married yet, and I actually hide everything. Sure enough, it's a biological son. This set of footwork similar to the superior internal energy he practices has never been taught to me."

"Remind you, my name is Zhuang Buran, not a disciple of Peach Blossom Island. Don't recognize the wrong person again."

Huang Rong rolled her eyes beautifully:

"Hmph, these words of yours are not as believable as the previous nonsense about coming from forty years ago."

Zhuang Buran laughed:

"This world is so strange. Telling the truth is not believed by anyone. People in the world are only willing to believe what they believe."

"That's enough. In this kind of occasion, Zhuang is not suitable to stay for long."

"Wait." Huang Rong suddenly stopped Zhuang Buran, her face hesitant, and said:

"Your hard skills are excellent. On the battlefield, you are at least a match for ten thousand. Whether it is capturing the thief first, or taking people out of the siege, it shouldn't take much effort. Can't you help?"

Her tone paused, and her pretty face carried a trace of awkwardness:

"At worst, I'm willing to go back with you."

"Tsk tsk, not to mention that Zhuang has nothing to do with you and has no obligation to help you, just looking at today's situation, although Wanyan Honglie is the culprit, these Yang Tiexin and Bao Xiruo are not innocent."

Zhuang Buran's expression was cold:

"In the past, if Yang Tiexin's martial arts were low, but he had a floating and trouble-seeking temperament, rashly provoking Qiu Chuji, how could Wanyan Honglie have the opportunity to know Bao Xiruo."

"Knowing that his wife was pregnant and needed care, he ignored it and drank himself into a stupor, so that Bao Xiruo, who was kind without any bottom line, saved Wanyan Honglie."

"Resulting in the disaster of breaking the family and destroying the door, and then watching Bao Xiruo being taken away."

"If on that snowy night, Yang Tiexin hadn't rashly provoked Qiu Chuji, perhaps it would be another situation. If he hadn't drunk for his own pleasure, when Bao Xiruo discovered the dying Wanyan Honglie, wouldn't she have discussed it with her husband?"

"And although Yang Tiexin was stupid, he wouldn't be stupid enough to save this Jin general. How could there be future troubles?"

"If on that night of the door-destroying disaster, he hadn't cruelly abandoned his wife, but fought to the death to protect her, the worst outcome would be dying on the spot, and there would be no future trouble."

"But where are there so many 'ifs' in the world? Everything is vanity."

His gaze fell on Yang Tiexin, whose expression was stiff:

"What surprised Zhuang is that after eighteen years of tempering, your temperament hasn't improved at all, still as floating, stupid, and reckless as before."

"Recognizing your wife who has been separated for eighteen years on the streets of Zhongdu, and provoking trouble again, didn't you think about what unexpected consequences would be brought after recognizing each other?"

"Can you really take your wife and son away? Can you really let the Jin Prince, who has enjoyed wealth and glory since childhood, accept his biological father? And then willingly give up power and leave with his biological father?"

"Without any upbringing, just relying on the extremely strange blood relationship, can it be done?"

Zhuang Buran's few questions made Yang Tiexin's face even more ugly.

"To say something unpleasant, if Yang Tiexin considered his wife and children more and didn't just care about himself, how could there be the danger of dying on the street today."

His gaze glanced and turned to Bao Xiruo:

"As for her, if it weren't for her overflowing Virgin Mary heart, not distinguishing between enemy and us, and not distinguishing between right and wrong, how could the Guo and Yang families suffer the disaster of door-destruction? Don't look at her as weak and bullyable, but she is not innocent at all."

"In Zhuang's place, it's not about who is weak who has reason."

"It is said that a mother is strong, but she is good. She almost ignored her own child. Her son is eighteen, and she is still ignorant of her own life experience. She only cares about herself, and... men."

"Clearly marrying someone else, but still having a look of missing her late husband. Being like this, it is increasingly wanting to vomit."

"Think about it carefully, it is normal. Isn't she just thinking that she is a weak and beautiful little white flower, so this man loves, that man also loves, but what can she do, she can only accept it silently."

"But it must be said that they are worthy of being husband and wife, and they are worthy of the word 'matching'."

When Zhuang Buran said this, Bao Xiruo couldn't help but stagger.

"Xiruo!"

Yang Tiexin supported Bao Xiruo with quick eyes and fast hands.

"Brother Zhuang, these words of yours are a bit too much." Guo Jing said awkwardly.

"Too much? Do you know what it means to be both?" Zhuang Buran raised his mouth.

Guo Jing shook his head in confusion, and heard the green-robed youth say lazily:

"Being a whore, but still wanting to set up a chastity archway."

Bao Xiruo was blocked by these words until her face was pale, and she almost fainted. After hearing such naked slander in the last sentence, she finally surged with blood and vomited blood in anger.

"Pfft!"

"Xiruo, are you okay?" Yang Tiexin hugged Bao Xiruo and roared at Zhuang Buran with an angry face:

"Enough, everything is because of Wanyan Honglie, this Jin dog. Stop stirring up trouble here."

Zhuang Buran looked indifferent and said lightly:

"The truth doesn't hurt people; only when one cannot bear the truth, the truth hurts people."
