Chapter 285: I Was Too Easy to Talk To

"Peak Master Hua."

"Master Xue."

Xue Xian looked at Hua Changxi, who was calm and didn't even change her expression, and a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes.

Once upon a time, when the Embroidered Uniform Guard came to the door, even if one was a first-rank official, one would be terrified.

But now, with the recovery of spiritual energy, more and more people have become cultivators, and the Embroidered Uniform Guard, which once made people hear of them and be terrified, is now less and less taken seriously.

Hua Changxi followed the principle of "the enemy does not move, I do not move." Xue Xian didn't speak, so she remained silent.

Xue Xian originally thought that Hua Changxi was young and wouldn't be able to hold her breath, and intended to use his coldness to give the other party a certain psychological pressure first, so as to facilitate his mastery of the initiative in the conversation afterward. But Hua Changxi didn't take the bait, nor did she ask about his purpose.

Xue Xian was silent for a moment, and could only be the first to break the silence: "Peak Master Hua has great spirit."

Hua Changxi didn't quite understand what he meant by this. Although she was confused in her heart, she didn't follow Xue Xian's intention to ask for the reason in her words: "Thank you for the compliment."

Xue Xian was annoyed by this answer, looked at Hua Changxi, and said meaningfully: "Before coming here, I had long heard of Peak Master Hua's great name. Now that I have seen you, I find that you are very different from what everyone described."

Hua Changxi looked over and smiled: "People have many sides. What Master Xue heard might just be one side of me."

This answer was once again beyond Xue Xian's expectations.

Before coming, he had collected intelligence from all parties.

Regarding Hua Changxi, many people above actually didn't think highly of her. This person was too willful and did whatever she wanted. She knew nothing about human relationships and worldly wisdom, and she couldn't even get along with her own family and clan.

Such geniuses who had excellent talent in some aspects but didn't know how to restrain their temper were mostly loners who acted alone.

Throughout history, many similar people had appeared, but most of them were like flashes in the pan, blooming for a moment, then quickly withering, and then completely disappearing from people's sight.

But seeing Hua Changxi today, Xue Xian, who had read countless people, found that he couldn't understand this immature little lady in front of him.

Knowing that continuing to probe would not make Hua Changxi follow his intentions, Xue Xian stopped dawdling and went straight to the point to state his purpose.

"Peak Master Hua's grand gesture of recruiting apprentices widely, I truly admire."

Hearing this, Hua Changxi's eyes flickered, and she guessed the reason why the Embroidered Uniform Guard came to the door: "Why, can't Danyuan Peak recruit apprentices widely?"

Xue Xian smiled: "Of course not. Recruiting apprentices is Danyuan Peak's freedom, but...... cultivators from various places gather in the capital. Has Peak Master Hua thought about what situation the capital will face?"

Hearing this, Hua Changxi's brows furrowed.

Seeing her silent, Xue Xian continued: "Peak Master Hua is a cultivator and should know how powerful a cultivator's ability is. With a wave of their hands, they can easily kill a group of ordinary people."

"Cultivators are more combative and ruthless than warriors in the past. Even if cultivators are distributed in various places, the Embroidered Uniform Guard will occasionally receive tragic cases of villages and towns being destroyed because of cultivators fighting."

"Now, because you want to recruit apprentices, cultivators are all coming to the capital."

"There are many people in the capital. With so many cultivators pouring into the capital, once a cultivator makes a move in the capital, do you want the people of the capital to become the wronged souls under the hands of these cultivators?"

Xue Xian's words were stronger and more severe one after another, louder and stronger.

Director Gu on the side finally knew why Xue Xian had to meet Hua Changxi on the square.

Look, the people watching on the square, after hearing Xue Xian's questioning, many of them showed anger and worry on their faces, and the look in their eyes toward Hua Changxi was also filled with dissatisfaction and resentment.

Their families were all in the capital. If the capital was really messed up because of the cultivators coming to register, their families would be in danger, and even they themselves might be affected.

This was just inside the Medical Department. Once the words Xue Xian questioned Hua Changxi today spread, Hua Changxi would be the public enemy of all the people in the capital.

Director Gu sighed in his heart at the ruthlessness of the royal family's means. The royal family was trying to roast Hua Changxi on the fire!

If Hua Changxi couldn't handle this matter well, there might be no place for her in the capital, and it would also implicate the Hua family and the Hua clan.

"Peak Master Hua."

Seeing that Hua Changxi was stunned by his questioning, Xue Xian immediately took advantage of the victory and shouted sternly again: "I would like to ask Peak Master Hua, if the capital really falls into chaos because of the cultivators pouring in from various places, leading to casualties among the people, can you bear this responsibility?"

Hua Changxi indeed hadn't considered this problem, and for a while, she couldn't think of any solution, but she was very unconvinced by Xue Xian's questioning.

"Master Xue, you don't need to be so fierce. Everything you said is just your speculation."

"Also, I also really want to ask you, listening to your meaning, it seems that cultivators coming to the capital has become my responsibility alone?"

"Recruiting apprentices was announced jointly by the four major holy lands. How did it become my own business when it reached you?"

"Have you gone to other holy lands to explain this matter?"

Xue Xian didn't expect Hua Changxi to react so quickly: "Other holy lands, I will naturally go to ask for an explanation. Peak Master Hua, don't change the subject. Now we are talking about the responsibility you should bear."

Hua Changxi sneered: "Master Xue, don't bully me because I am young. If you really want to solve the problem of cultivators coming to the capital, you should call me and the people from other holy lands together to discuss a solution."

"Instead of coming to me aggressively like you are now, and wanting to pin the crime of causing chaos in the capital on me without saying a word."

"Why, you don't dare to provoke other holy lands, and you think I'm easy to bully, so you want to pick the soft persimmon to pinch?"

Xue Xian's eyelids twitched. The intelligence said that "Hua Changxi doesn't care about consequences and dares to confront anyone," which was true. The way she directly tore her face was something he, who was used to "not making a real move without fighting a few rounds," was not used to.

"Peak Master Hua is joking. No one thinks you are a soft persimmon. Why, do you think you are a soft persimmon yourself?"

Hua Changxi narrowed her eyes: "Do you want to try and see if this persimmon of mine is soft or not?"

Seeing through that Xue Xian was not really here to solve the problem, but wanted to roast her on the fire, Hua Changxi's eyes sank, and her spiritual pressure erupted.

In an instant, a mountain-like giant force pressed directly toward Xue Xian and all the subordinates he brought.

"Bang~"

"Bang bang~"

"Bang bang bang~"

All the Embroidered Uniform Guards, except for Xue Xian, whose back was bent and legs were trembling, all knelt on the ground.

Watching this scene, the people watching were stunned, and the people in the Qihuang Pavilion and Lingjing Pavilion were also shocked.

Director Gu was not shrouded in spiritual pressure, but he stood not far from Xue Xian and felt the terrifying spiritual power emanating, and couldn't help but feel a bit dry-mouthed.

Hua Changxi...... is her strength actually this strong?!

Director Gu swallowed his saliva. The Minister had ordered that Hua Changxi could promote the recovery of the Pill Saint Hall and asked him to take care of her more secretly. He couldn't really watch Hua Changxi and the royal family fight.

"Peak Master Hua, let's talk properly."

Hua Changxi had a cold face, not only did not withdraw the spiritual pressure but increased it, directly pressing Xue Xian until his legs bent.

"I was too easy to talk to before, which made people think I was easy to bully, and they would jump out to make things difficult for me."

"I just wanted to find some apprentices for the Pill Saint Hall, so how did I get in your way?"

Director Gu: "......"

Xue Xian: "......"

The intelligence was inaccurate. It didn't record that Hua Changxi was combative and would do it if she didn't agree!

At the same time, Xue Xian was also shocked in his heart. Hua Changxi actually suppressed him and more than twenty subordinates. What kind of strength is she? ===== CHAPTER 286 =====
