Chapter 214 Entering the building [asking for monthly tickets! ]

All members of the Evil-Slaying Division returned victoriously, and Chen Su held a grand celebration banquet for them in the yamen.

"This time, you not only caught the Nine Yang spies, but also dug out all the traitors in the Beizhou Military Town. You have really worked hard and made great contributions." Xie Wenxi raised his glass to celebrate, "Congratulations!"

"But this Beizhou military town is really chaotic. When we left, they were still arresting people there. They have been arresting and interrogating people for two days and it hasn't ended yet. We don't know when it will end." Li Mo sighed.

"The Yin Dynasty's military is heavy in the north and light in the south. The best soldiers and generals are all in the three towns in the north, which is not inferior to Zhongzhou. There are more people with ulterior motives." Chen Su said calmly, "But those things have nothing to do with us. We just need to catch the spies."

"I didn't expect that besides the Nine-Yang spy, there are so many people who want chaos in the army." Mo Qiuren smiled and sighed, "People's hearts are really unpredictable."

"Actually..." Chen Su hesitated, but still said to everyone: "Advocating war does not necessarily mean chaos in the world, and advocating peace does not necessarily mean peace in the world."

"As far as I know, the war faction in the court holds the view that the two countries of Yin and Yang will have a war sooner or later, so it is better to fight early than later while Yin is superior in strength and leading in every aspect. If we wait for Yang to develop for a few years, Jiuzhou may not be able to win."

"There are quite a few old-school generals in the court who have been promoted based on their military merits and have a solid position. Naturally, they don't want to reshuffle the cards, so they are unwilling to start a war again."

"Those people you met in the North State Military Town, the methods they used were certainly wrong, and their intentions might not be good, but that doesn't mean the direction they wanted to go was wrong."

Liang Yue heard Chen Su's words and felt that they were hinting at something, so he asked, "Which general is the leader of the pro-war faction in the court?"

Chen Su paused and replied, "Of course it's Tang Wei."

"Military God Tang Wei?" Da Qiao was puzzled when she heard the name. "Hasn't he been staying indoors for more than ten years?"

"Remaining indoors doesn't mean there are no forces loyal to him. Tang Wei's influence in the army was at its peak, and even now there are still many young people who worship him as a god and join the army because of his glory. Many of the middle and high-level generals in the major military towns are his former subordinates and are still willing to work for him. Like the incident you encountered in the Beizhou Military Town, I can't think of anyone else who can mobilize so many generals under his command at the same time except him."

Chen Su analyzed solemnly, "And Xue Guozhong, the deputy commander of the Beizhou Military Town, was Tang Wei's vanguard general back then, and he single-handedly recommended him to become the divine general of Wu'antang."

"So, was what we did this time right or wrong?" Liang Yue suddenly hesitated.

"Of course it's right." Chen Su smiled and said, "Many games in the court are not black and white, but just different philosophies. We ignore their fights and stick to our duties. What's wrong with that?"

"Yeah." Wen Yifan also said softly, "Just do your own thing."

"That's right." Chen Su nodded. "There are thousands of great ways in the world, and each one can lead to the highest point. Who can say which way is right or wrong? It's nothing more than following your own path. People on the same path help each other, and people who are competing for the same path kill each other. In this respect, the court and cultivation are different paths to the same destination."

"Senior Sister Wen is right." Liang Yue immediately raised his glass to flatter her.

Wen Yifan just glanced at him and said nothing.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Xu Luzhi seemed to notice that the room had suddenly become cold. Out of kindness, the little girl wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, so she asked, "Junior Brother Liang, the sister you redeemed from Beizhou, is she also going to join the Evil Slaying Division?"

"..."

After asking this, the air around seemed to become even colder.

After a long while, Liang Yue laughed awkwardly. "Miss Luo is from Jiuyang and has a quick mind. It's not bad for her to be a spy for us. Of course, we have to thank the chief for his supervision."

Xie Wenxi didn't know what was going on. He only heard that Liang Yue helped a prostitute redeem herself over there, and thought there was something fishy going on. Seeing that Wen Yifan looked cold, he straightened his back and said, "I am just assessing her on her behalf. Whether she will be accepted or not is up to Mr. Chen to decide."

Chen Suduo was a smart man, and he said on the spot: "You two can just discuss this kind of trivial matter, don't bother me."

Seeing that the conversation was getting more and more strange, Li Mo quickly raised his glass and said, "It's all in the wine."

Everyone raised their heads and drank without making any sound.

……

Liang Yue did feel very strange these few days after Senior Sister Wen came out of seclusion.

You say she is as cold and indifferent as before, but she is always cold to me, as if she is deliberately avoiding me. You say she still has feelings, but she always looks cold.

I really don't understand. But one thing I can be sure of is that the current Senior Sister Wen is still different from before she was hit by the Seven Emotions Curse.

After celebrating at Zhuxie Division, Liang Yue hurried back home. He took a day off and planned to spend the next day at home.

I've been away from home for thousands of miles during this period of time, and my mother must be missing me.

Sure enough, when I got home, although it was already a little late, my mother was still sighing in the room with a sad face.

Seeing Liang Yue coming back, she showed a little joy, "Ah, Xiao Yue is back."

"Mom, I've been away from home for too long, and I made you so sad." Liang Yue said guiltily.

"Ah, that's not the case. I'm worried because Xiaoyun is leaving too." Li Caiyun shook her head decisively, "Your sister said she wants to join Wentian Tower!"

"What?" Liang Yue was also surprised.

He had come into contact with the priests of Wentian Tower before. It was not a place that ordinary people could enter as they pleased. On the one hand, the selection process was strict and it was not easy to be selected; on the other hand, the rules were strict and entering might not be a good thing.

"I can't persuade her. This child looks weak, but she has always been very opinionated." Li Caiyun said, "She can listen to you. Please help me persuade her tomorrow."

"Okay." Liang Yue nodded.

Early the next morning, Li Caiyun, Liang Yue and Liang Xiaoyun gathered together for a serious family meeting.

"The rules in Wentian Tower are strict. You can't go out easily, let alone start a family. What are you doing there?" Liang Yue asked puzzledly.

Liang Xiaoyun looked calm, "The priests of Wentian Tower were selecting new people in Jiuzhou, and they just happened to choose me. I am now practicing the secret arts, and where else in the world could I go except Wentian Tower?"

"I have specifically asked about going out, and the priest said that I have extraordinary talent. If I am willing to enter the Heavenly Questioning Tower, I can be allowed to go home to visit my family once every few days. As for matters of love between men and women, I am not interested in them. Brother, if you can pursue the great way of cultivation, these can be abandoned, right?"

"What my sister said seems to make sense." Liang Yue looked at his mother.

Li Caiyun frowned.

"But then again..." Liang Yue turned his head and looked at Liang Xiaoyun again, "Entering that place is the same as becoming a monk. Sister, you must think carefully and don't act on impulse."

"When my brother joined Xuanmen, did you ever think about being impulsive?" Liang Xiaoyun asked back, "Wentian Tower has the support of the Great Priest, and you even have the opportunity to become his disciple. How much better than the master you chose in Xuanmen?"

"If you want to compete with the master, then I won't compete with you." Liang Yue turned back weakly. Comparing with the master really hit his soft spot. He looked at his mother again, "My sister seems to have a plan as well."

Li Caiyun glared.

"But then again, it's inevitable that mother misses you. It's okay for you to practice alone, but once you step into the Wentian Tower, you will inevitably be involved in the struggles in the martial arts world and the court, and the dangers are unpredictable." Liang Yue said to Liang Xiaoyun again.

Liang Xiaoyun looked determined, "Perhaps my mother's expectations for me are different from those for my elder brother and younger brother. My mother hopes that men can bring honor to the family and achieve success in their careers, but her expectation for me is just to be healthy and happy and to be able to stay with my parents."

Hearing her say this, Li Caiyun's eyes flickered, as if she had hit upon something in her mind.

"But does mother care about me once? What do I think?" Liang Xiaoyun continued, "I believe that my talent is not inferior to others. Mother paid for my schooling for ten years and taught me to read and write, but I couldn't take the imperial examination. But who says that women can't have great ambitions? Now I am on the path of cultivation. The road is fair. I want to pursue it once, so that I will have no regrets."

Li Caiyun couldn't help but burst into tears when she heard her daughter's words, "My dear daughter, it's my fault."

"Mother, don't say that. Although I've left home, I'm still in Longyuan City. I'll come back to see you often." Liang Xiaoyun hugged her mother and cried.

"That's good..." Liang Yue was about to say something with a smile when he saw that everyone had reached a consensus.

The mother and daughter both turned to look at him, as if he was the only annoying person in this space.

"..." Liang Yue stepped back angrily, "Okay, then I won't disturb you and your daughter's farewell."
