Chapter 124 If We Meet One Day, Do Not Hold Back.
Looking at Pang Hong's slowly leaving figure, Lin Qingyi praised: "Brother Pei is a good disciple."
Lin Qingyi didn't have any compliments. He had spent a lot of time with Pang Hong during this period and knew what this young man was thinking.
He also knew that the other party had a dagger on him at all times, as if he was always on the lookout to use it against Pei Xuanjing if he used him to deal with him.
Lin Qingyi not only didn't mind this, but actually praised it in his heart.
Although he may not be able to do this for a disciple who is sensible, knows how to advance and retreat, and is willing to sacrifice, it does not prevent him from appreciating it.
Pei Xuanjing smiled. After listening to Lin Qingyi's description, he also felt that Pang Hong was good, and he was very satisfied with the other party's actions.
Although it was unintentional to give him guidance at the beginning, his cultivation of him was also unintentional.
And after being together for so long, even kittens and puppies will inevitably develop feelings for each other, so he asked Lin Qingyi to take care of each other.
He had already made preparations. Even if the other party was afraid of what happened to him and was unwilling to leave with him, he would ask Lin Qingyi to take good care of the other party and prevent him from being involved in this turmoil.
Of course, if this is the case, just think that you have misjudged the person, and the friendship between the two parties will naturally be wiped out, and there will no longer be any involvement.
However, since he can follow decisively, this is enough to prove that Pei Xuanjing has not misjudged the person and is worthy of his continued training.
From now on, Pei Xuanjing will naturally intensify his training of Pang Hong, truly treating him as his disciple, and one day passing on his mantle may not be a bad idea.
The two of them sat on the stone bench in the pavilion. Lin Qingyi poured a cup of tea for them, and then said: "In the past few decades, Lin feels that the most fortunate thing is meeting you, Brother Pei."
Pei Xuanjing smiled and shook his head: "Brother Lin was joking."
Unexpectedly, Lin Qingyi suddenly said seriously: "Brother Pei, don't think I'm joking. These are words from the bottom of my heart."
"If Brother Pei hadn't taken action to capture the Maitreya Cult protector Shen Tuhan, Lin would have been dead." Lin Qingyi recalled his first acquaintance with Pei Xuanjing. He sighed: "If it hadn't been for Brother Pei, I, Lin Qingyi, would probably be dead. It’s three feet tall.”
Pei Xuanjing declined: "The reason I took action was because I had a grudge against the Maitreya Sect, not because of it."
Lin Qingyi shook his head and interrupted: "No matter what, there is no doubt that Brother Pei's action saved my name and that of all the brothers."
Even if he didn't know it at the time, he later became aware of some of the grievances between Pei Xuanjing and the Maitreya Sect.
But so what, no matter what, there is no objection to the fact that Pei Xuanjing saved Lin Qingyi's life.
Pei Xuanjing remained silent and listened to Lin Qingyi continue: "Later, the Yinsi stronghold was cleared and surrendered, and Brother Pei saved me again."
"Actually, if I think carefully, if it weren't for Brother Pei's help many times, I wouldn't be where I am today." Lin Qingyi said.
If it weren't for Pei Xuanjing's help many times, he would not have made meritorious deeds one after another, and would not have achieved the power and status he has now.
The past two years have been compared to his previous ten years of hard work.
Pei Xuanjing smiled and said, "Brother Lin is serious."
The two just sat there, talking about many things in the past.
In fact, sometimes when I think about it carefully, a lot of things have happened in just two years.
After a long time, Lin Qingyi finally said what he wanted to say: "Brother Pei, you have helped me a lot in the past two years. Your kindness is like a sea. I should keep it in my heart."
but.
Pei Xuanjing added in his heart.
"However, today is different from the past. Although you and I are friends, we have different positions. I live in a temple, and you live in the world. You are a bandit wanted by the court, and I am an official of the court. Although we have friendship, there are inevitable differences. The day when swordsmen and soldiers meet. I just hope that by that time, everyone will be his own master, and I hope Brother Pei will not be surprised and show no mercy." After Lin Qingyi finished speaking, he stood up and bowed.
He had received too much kindness from Pei Xuanjing, so he naturally wanted to repay it.
If Pei Xuanjing always stands on the side of the imperial court and the two of them serve as ministers in the same palace, there will naturally be opportunities to reciprocate in the future.
But now Pei Xuanjing has fallen out with the court, and their positions are on opposite sides.
As a royal guard, he can have personal affairs, but he cannot forget his duties.
Although Jin Yiwei has not yet participated in it, it will be a matter of time.
This also means that by that time, the two of them will inevitably meet with swords.
When Pei Xuanjing saw Lin Qingyi being so solemn, his expression became serious. He held Lin Qingyi up and said, "Brother Lin, don't worry. If one day comes, I will definitely not be merciful to fulfill your responsibilities."
At this moment, Pei Xuanjing's understanding of Lin Qingyi changed from the past.
If before, he thought Lin Qingyi was just a bureaucrat who yearned for power. Although there was some friendship between the two parties, it was nothing more than that.
But now, these words made him look at him with admiration.
Suddenly, Pei Xuanjing understood why in the six hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, even though there were many forces secretly separatist, they did not dare to rebel.
Not because of anything else, but because of the existence of people like Lin Qingyi.
We must know that the founding of the Ming Dynasty was far more righteous than the previous dynasties, and there were so many supporters like Lin Qingyi.
That's why he said these words.
This is his respect for Lin Qingyi, even if Lin Qingyi is now no match for him in terms of strength.
The two of them dispersed at this point and returned home.
From now on, although the two still have friendship, they are strangers because of their positions. If they meet again in the future, they will probably be at war with each other.
The next day, Pei Xuanjing hung a sword on his waist and took Pang Hong into an inn again.
After waiting for the two of them to enter the inn, it didn't take long before Qingyangzi came to the door again as if he knew they would settle here.
Pang Hong returned to his room, where Qingyangzi and Pei Xuanjing sat opposite each other.
Pei Xuanjing sat there quietly, not in a hurry, and waited peacefully for Qingyangzi to speak.
Seeing Pei Xuanjing sitting quietly, unmoved and calm, Qingyangzi couldn't help but admire the other person's state of mind.
After a long time, Qingyangzi took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Pei Xuanjing.
"You take a look at what's inside first. After reading it, if there's anything you don't understand, I'll fill it in for you."
Pei Xuanjing put down the tea cup in his hand and took the letter from the other party's hand. However, he did not open it in a hurry. Instead, he slowly opened his mouth and said a word.
"Senior, I am curious about one thing. When the Shenxiao Sect was destroyed, was the Zhenwu Sect involved in it?"
Hearing Pei Xuanjing's sudden words, Qingyangzi was suddenly startled.
