Chapter 243

Because he knew,

Baili Baili Dongjun didn't have any good feelings toward the Xiao Imperial Clan.

Although when Ye Ye Dingzhi led a group of Demon Sect experts to march east back then, they were successfully blocked by Baili Baili Dongjun and others, leading to Ye Ye Dingzhi being forced to commit suicide in the end.

But regarding Ye Ye Dingzhi's death,

if one were to ask who was the most distressed, Baili Baili Dongjun would definitely be one of them.

Because Baili Baili Dongjun and Ye Ye Dingzhi had been the best playmates since childhood, and even after both became top experts in the Jianghu, they remained very close friends.

But because of Emperor Mingde,

the two had to turn their swords against each other.

Back then, Baili Baili Dongjun tried to take Ye Ye Dingzhi away, and for this, he didn't hesitate to offend Emperor Mingde, forcibly knocking the other party's cultivation down from the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm to the Free Earth Realm.

He even directly told Emperor Mingde not to use martial arts again in the future, otherwise, he would only be able to lie on the dragon throne for the rest of his life.

However,

Snow Moon City at that time was ultimately just a Jianghu power, and Baili Baili Dongjun also failed to become invincible in the world.

Facing the behemoth that was Tianqi City,

Baili Baili Dongjun finally chose to compromise.

Because whether it was Baili Baili Dongjun or other experts who participated in resisting the Demon Sect's eastern march back then,

everyone knew,

since there was already the precedent of Ye Ye Dingzhi, Emperor Mingde would absolutely not allow a second such large Jianghu power to appear in the Northern Li Dynasty.

Therefore, later on,

in order to preserve Snow Moon City,

Baili Baili Dongjun promised Emperor Mingde that he would never be an official or a noble in this life, but only a Jianghu wanderer, and would never interfere in court affairs again.

This was also the reason why Brother Sikong Changfeng was in charge of Snow Moon City today.

And,

if it weren't for this promise,

as Li Li Hanyi's senior brother, how could Baili Baili Dongjun have let Li Li Hanyi go to the execution ground alone back then.

Xiao Se also knew,

that the reason Old Patriarch Tang dared to join forces with the Hidden River to ambush and kill Li Li Hanyi was that there must have been the reason that Baili Baili Dongjun could not interfere in court affairs.

Otherwise,

even if the Tang Men were given a few more guts, the other party would mostly not dare to betray Snow Moon City, and even if they still chose to betray, they would definitely not dare to agree to the Hidden River to cooperate in assassinating Li Li Hanyi.

However,

these things were all in the past.

Now,

Baili Baili Dongjun had already broken through to the Divine Wander Realm.

And in Snow Moon City,

there was Jiang Chen, who could kill the Dao Sword Immortal Zhao Zhao Yuzhen with one sword, sitting in town.

Therefore, Xiao Se didn't know if Baili Baili Dongjun would still abide by the promise from back then.

Fortunately,

seemingly seeing through what Xiao Se was thinking, Baili Baili Dongjun said faintly:

"．． As the Great City Master of Snow Moon City, since I made a promise to your father back then, I naturally will not go back on it. And now that Brother Sikong Changfeng has chosen to support you, I also respect his decision."

"However, perhaps to you, everything you are doing now is merely to seek justice for the Prince Langya Prince and to find the person who poisoned you back then. But since you already know that Jiang Chen is Li Li Hanyi's disciple, then I think you should also be able to guess what will happen in the future."

"I naturally know."

Xiao Se also looked at Baili Baili Dongjun and said softly: "Actually, whether I seek out Snow Moon City or not, the Snow Moon Sword Immortal will inevitably return to Tianqi sooner or later."

"It is good that you are clear in your heart."

Baili Baili Dongjun glanced at Lei Lei Wujie, then continued:

"Although my Snow Moon City does not want to be involved in the temple, if there really is such a day in the future, I will absolutely not let it go again."

The reason Baili Baili Dongjun said this,

was because he knew that whether it was Jiang Chen or Brother Sikong Changfeng, the reason they agreed to Xiao Se was all just because of Li Li Hanyi.

And at this moment,

regarding the future relationship between Snow Moon City and Tianqi City, everything depended on how Xiao Se would choose in the future.

Following that,

Baili Baili Dongjun then said to Xiao Se:

"Now, I will take you to see Mo Yi. As for whether the other party is willing to save you, that is not something I can decide."

Baili Baili Dongjun did not say anything like asking Mo Yi to take action to treat Xiao Se.

Because regarding Mo Yi.

He was actually not very familiar with him either.

Although he didn't know why Mo Yi, upon learning that he had come to find the last ingredient for refining Mengpo wine, took the initiative to tell him the location of that ingredient.

But he wouldn't think it was because of his identity.

Furthermore.

Whether Mo Yi was willing to take action to treat Xiao Se, he actually didn't care much.

Being an emperor.

It's not like you must know martial arts to do it.

Emperor Mingde doesn't use martial arts now, isn't he doing just fine?

"Since that's the case, then I'll trouble you, Senior Wine Immortal."

Hearing Baili Baili Dongjun's words, a trace of joy appeared in Xiao Se's eyes.

Because from the time they arrived on the island until now, except for when Lei Lei Wujie asked the other party a question and the other party replied, he had almost never looked at them directly.

On the contrary.

Mo Yi looked at the girl named Pearl who came with them from time to time.

Although they didn't know why Mo Yi cared so much about a girl who had no cultivation and had lived in a small coastal city catching fish with her father since she was a child.

But to say that Mo Yi had fallen in love with her, they also didn't believe it.

At this moment.

On the beach in the distance.

A young girl wearing cloth clothes was lowering her head, picking up one shell after another washed ashore by the waves, and carefully putting them into the bamboo basket beside her.

Because she was often blown by the sea breeze day and night, the girl's skin looked a bit dark.

But her pair of eyes were incredibly bright, and the ripples in her eyes revealed a smile, making her originally dark and ordinary appearance suddenly become eye-catching.

"Lei Lei Wujie, go call Pearl and bring her along."

Tang Lian looked at Lei Lei Wujie and said expressionlessly: "She doesn't know martial arts, it's not safe for her to stay on the beach alone."

Lei Lei Wujie was stunned.

And said with some confusion: "Why me?"

Tang Lian immediately said with a look of "iron not becoming steel": "Nonsense, do you want me to go?"

And seeing Lei Lei Wujie's expression.

Xiao Se on the side couldn't help but roll his eyes: "You blockhead, if they tell you to go, then go, where do all these 'whys' come from."

"Fine, I'll go then."

Lei Lei Wujie shrugged.

While walking toward the beach, he couldn't help but mutter: "You were the ones who agreed to let Pearl follow us, but along the way, as long as it has anything to do with Pearl, you make me come forward."

"Did you meet on the way here?"

Seeing this, Baili Baili Dongjun couldn't help but ask: "Does this kid Lei Lei Wujie like that girl named Pearl?"

Tang Lian replied with a smile: "We don't know yet if Lei Lei Wujie likes Pearl, but this girl Pearl has probably already fallen for Lei Lei Wujie."

"Since you don't know if Lei Lei Wujie likes her, why are you blindly playing matchmaker?"
