Chapter 655 The Three Principles of the Goddess’s Salvation (3)

The morning in Hyunulu Forest is always a little chilly.

This is especially true in summer.

The morning dew condensed on the bamboo leaves, occasionally dripping, making a slight sound.

Jiang Fei stood in the open space outside the bamboo house, holding a long sword in her hand, with the tip of the sword lightly touching the ground.

His thoughts had already drifted away.

The rumors that had been bothering him seemed to ring in his ears again.

"The fairy in the forest always keeps to herself. Have you ever wondered why she chose to accept you as her disciple?"

"Before your parents died, there was only Lin Zhongxian. Your parents' death is closely related to her."

"Your master is just using you. When the time is right, he will take your life and seize the fox clan's treasure."

Jiang Fei could no longer remember when she started hearing these words.

At first, he just thought it was ridiculous, and even threatened the lives of those who spread the rumors, warning them not to talk nonsense again.

But as time went by, these rumors took root in his heart like seeds, gradually eroding his trust.

Peony Fairy usually has a good relationship with her master, but in the past two years, she always seemed to be hesitant to speak when looking at him.

Recently, he looks like he has something to say but doesn't dare to say it.

It was hard not to think too much about her words and actions.

Suddenly, a bamboo flute came through the air and hit his wrist accurately.

Jiang Fei's wrist felt numb and the sword fell to the ground with a clang.

He suddenly came to his senses, looked up and saw the bamboo flute flying back into Song Yuesheng's hands.

She had just come back from Qiwu Town after buying pastries. She was holding an exquisite food box in her hand and had a faint smile on her face.

"A Fei, your mind is not at peace. Be careful not to go astray." Song Yuesheng's voice was gentle, but with some concern.

Jiang Fei barely pulled the corners of his mouth, bent down to pick up the sword on the ground, and whispered: "Nothing, Master. I'm just... thinking about something."

Song Yuesheng put the box of pastries on the table, and her eyes stayed on his face for a moment, with a hint of inquiry.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, don't keep it in your heart."

Jiang Fei was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and looked directly at her: "Master, who killed my parents?"

Song Yuesheng's smile froze, then returned to normal, and said in a light tone: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"I would like to know."

Jiang Fei stared at Song Yuesheng's eyes, as if trying to find some flaws in her expression.

Song Yuesheng avoided his gaze, his tone still calm: "A Fei, with your current level of cultivation, you are not a match for him."

Jiang Fei's heart suddenly sank.

Her avoidance made his suspicions grow stronger.

He clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, and his voice trembled a little: "Master, why didn't you tell me? What is it that I can't know?"

Song Yuesheng sighed, with a bit of helplessness in his tone: "A Fei, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but the other party has a very high level of cultivation and a large number of people. Your task now is to practice well and don't think too much."

She frowned, her tone somewhat doubtful.

"A Fei, what's wrong with you today? Why are you asking these weird questions?"

Jiang Fei opened his mouth and wanted to continue asking, but seeing the concern and tenderness in her eyes, he swallowed his words back.

He lowered his head and spoke in a voice so low that it was almost inaudible: "Nothing, I just... asked casually. Master, I'm going to ask the peony spirit for some pollen."

After saying that, he turned and left, his steps hurried and heavy.

Night falls.

Jiang Fei sat alone on a huge rock in the forest, holding a pot of wine in her hand and pouring it into her throat gulp after gulp.

The wine was spicy, but it couldn't numb the pain in his heart.

The moonlight shone on him, making him seem as if shrouded in a cold halo.

"What are you still hesitating about?" A deep voice came from behind.

Jiang Fei turned around and saw a man in a black robe standing not far away.

His face was covered by a cloak, revealing only a pair of cold and sharp eyes.

He is a demon who has been appearing frequently near Hyun Lu Forest recently.

Claims to be an old friend of the fox clan.

Although he had the token of the fox clan, Jiang Fei didn't really believe what a demon said.

"Don't you want to avenge your parents?" The man in black robe slowly approached, with a hint of temptation in his tone.

Jiang Fei tightly grasped the wine jug, and said in a cold tone: "My affairs are none of your business, a demon."

"If I hadn't wanted to thank the Fox Tribe leader for saving my life, and if I hadn't wanted to prevent the few remaining Fox Tribe members from being left behind, I wouldn't have told you this."

The black-robed man sneered, "Do you think your master is really good to you? She is just using you to cover up her crimes. If you don't believe me, you can check it out. Humans are so greedy. How can they not be tempted when they hear about the treasure of the fox clan?"

The wine jug in Jiang Fei's hand fell to the ground with a "bang".

For a moment, the wine splashed everywhere.

He stood up suddenly, with a murderous look in his eyes: "You are talking nonsense!"

The man in black robe remained unmoved.

"You know whether it's nonsense or not. If you continue to deceive yourself, your parents' spirits in heaven will not rest in peace."

Jiang Fei clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms. It was as if there was a fire burning in his heart, burning him so much that he could hardly breathe.

He roared, waved his hand, and a red light attacked the man in black robe.

The man in black robe dodged easily, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "If you don't even have the courage to face the truth, how can you avenge your parents?"

After saying this, he disappeared into the night in a flash.

Jiang Fei stood in place, his chest heaving violently, the anger in his eyes gradually replaced by pain and confusion.

He thought of how good his master had been to him, how she had replenished his spiritual fruits, taught him swordsmanship, and prepared birthday gifts for him.

But he also remembered the scene of his parents protecting him all the way, the rumors, and the hesitant look on Peony Fairy's face.

"Master...did you really lie to me?"

Jiang Fei murmured softly, with a hint of sob in her voice.

Somewhere in the bamboo forest, the man in black robe has returned to his original appearance, revealing a handsome face.

She was Song Yuesheng, who was walking briskly on the forest path.

Blue Sparrow felt a little reluctant.

It said, "Sister Yue, this is your first apprentice after all. Is it really good to treat him like this? What if he is the male lead, or the female lead..."

"Isn't this better? Killing someone you thought was your enemy will make you feel extremely regretful after learning the truth. If he is destined to be the heroine, I will have an extra knife to hit wherever I point it. Don't forget, I can't touch the hero and heroine."

Blue Sparrow was still worried. "But Sister Yue, I think he will really kill you after he finds out that you spread the rumors and asked him to kill you. Even if he doesn't kill you, he won't kill you wherever he wants."

Song Yuesheng curled his lips and chuckled.

"There is no such possibility as you said. The joy and worry of regaining something will crush all other emotions. Instead of worrying about Jiang Fei being disobedient in the future, you should worry about me being trapped by him through illegal means."

"Ah?" Blue Sparrow was surprised.

Song Yuesheng didn't say anything else.

Human emotions are hard to explain, let alone to a sparrow spirit.

After this day, Jiang Fei and Song Yuesheng still maintained their previous master-disciple relationship on the surface, but the atmosphere between them quietly changed.

There was a hint of scrutiny and suspicion in Jiang Fei's eyes.

Song Yuesheng remained calm and composed, as if nothing had happened.

Until the evening of one week before the system specified time.

The rumors spread more and more fiercely. Song Yuesheng went to find Shaoyao Fairy to give her the photo stone, and also reminded her that she must wait until something unexpected happened to her before giving it to Jiang Fei.

Peony Fairy thought it was a death message, so she didn't answer it and instead comforted him.

"Sister Yue, Jiang Fei won't believe those rumors, so don't give me your last words."

Song Yuesheng chuckled: "It's not a last word, I can show it to you now."

She looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that there was no one around, she raised her hand to cast a spell, and a picture with sound immediately appeared in the image stone.

after awhile.

The image faded, and the light of the image stone dimmed.

Peony Fairy stared blankly at the image stone, trying hard to digest what she had just seen.

She murmured, "So that's what happened, Sister Yue, you..."

Song Yuesheng quickly raised his hand, signaling Shaoyaojing to be quiet.

She whispered, "Someone is coming."

then.

She summoned her sword and pointed the tip of the sword at the bamboo forest behind her on the right.

"Ding--"

A crisp sound of metal collision echoed in the bamboo forest.

Immediately afterwards, a red figure walked out of the bamboo forest.

Jiang Fei held the sword in his hand, his voice low and filled with suppressed anger.

"Master, you still don't have anything to say to me?"
