"Fellow Taoist Tang Ning, you have seen it! This is a private matter between us, and my husband didn't say anything. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business in the future. This time you rashly attack us, for the sake of Xie Taoist

For the sake of face, let's forget about it. I hope you can remember a little longer and don't act so impulsively." The woman spoke again, especially when she mentioned the word husband, her tone increased, obviously to remind Sima Xian.

"Mrs. Sima, you are a guest. I shouldn't argue with you here, but there is something I want to explain clearly. The reason why I am here to entertain all the distinguished guests is entirely out of my respect for Master Xie and my willingness to serve him

Effectiveness, although Tang is a nobody, he is by no means anyone’s dog, let alone a watchdog.”

"I also have a good word of advice. I hope you can be virtuous in the future. The Sima family is a famous family and a powerful family in Yuanxian County, but it does not mean that you can do whatever you want. It is not yet the turn of the Sima family in Yuanxian County to be able to cover the sky with one hand."

"If it hadn't been for Uncle Xie's thousandth birthday today, and because of your insulting words just now, Mr. Tang would definitely take your head and hang it on the top of Sunny City."

"If you think that as the wife of the head of the Sima clan, you can insult others arbitrarily, then you think too highly of the Sima clan and underestimate the Taixuan sect disciples."

"Tang doesn't care about you now, not because of whose wife you are, not because of how noble your birth is, but because I don't want to spill blood on this festive day and disturb the feast and everyone's elegance. After today, if I follow you again

If you hear such insulting words from your mouth, no matter how powerful the person behind you is, I will kill you."

Tang Ning showed no mercy and retorted harshly, which was reflected in her color.

At this moment, he was filled with anger. He no longer cared about the faces of the two Sima family god-transforming monks in front of him. He was so angry that he couldn't spit it out. Not to mention the mere god-transforming monks, even the King of Heaven was in front of him. He had to spit it out.

spirit.

Since he began to practice, he has received many cold looks, threats and oppressions, but he has never been so humiliated as today. He was scolded as a watchdog in front of his face. Which one is intolerable?

Under the backlog of anger, he did not show any mercy when he spoke. Regardless of whether he was the young head of the Sima family or the deputy captain of the regiment, he regarded them as nothing.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room felt a little uncomfortable. Sima Nianzu was in an awkward situation. He was from the Sima clan. Tangning was very rude to the Sima family in her words. Although he didn't like it, he couldn't help the Sima family at the moment.

say.

Because his current identity is the deputy captain of the Taixuan Sect Alliance, the Sima family can only be regarded as his natal family, and his true identity is still a disciple of the sect.

If you reprimand Tang Ning, there is no guarantee that others will say that you are turning your elbows outward and helping outsiders to bully the disciples of the family. Once this reputation spreads, the impact is hard to say.

The Taixuan Sect is very sensitive to this kind of thing internally. Everyone has the same hatred and hatred. No matter how big the internal conflicts are, when it comes to the outside world, they are still members of the same sect. They still have to maintain the sect's image and be consistent with the outside world.

Even if one's own disciples make mistakes, they must try their best to protect them in order to preserve the dignity and reputation of Taixuan Sect. How can they help outsiders bully their own disciples?

What's more, there are so many people watching nearby, and there are many disciples of the Taixuan Sect Alliance. If he really does this, he, the vice-captain, will not be able to survive. Once the matter spreads, first of all, his prestige will be lost within the alliance.

A sudden fall.

If it reaches the ears of the senior leaders of the column or even the legion, they will not have a good opinion of him.

In the same way, if he spoke to Tangning, he would not lose a good reputation with the Sima family.

Sima Nianzu looked at his eyes, nose and heart, and calmly took two steps back, standing behind Sima Xian and Xie Minghua.

…

Xie Minghua was also in an awkward situation. Sima Xian and his wife were his guests. At this time, they were competing with the disciples of the sect, which made him very embarrassed. It was obvious that the two sides were really angry. If one of them was not handled well, the conflict would further develop.

intensify.

Xie Minghua stroked his chin with his hand, hesitating on how to resolve this conflict.

Sima Xian looked at Tang Ning coldly. He was a spiritual transformation monk and the son of the dignified head of the Sima family. He was so ignored by a mere Nascent Soul monk. He not only looked down upon the Sima family in words, but also threatened to kill his wife in person. It was a shame.

No existence.

He was so angry that he had the intention to kill, but he knew that he could not do it here. There were people from Taixuanzong everywhere. If he really took action, not to mention using the big to bully the small, it would arouse the hatred of the Taixuanzong monks.

The first person in the audience to lose control was Mrs. Sima Xian. After hearing Tang Ning's harsh words, her face instantly turned red. With her status, she had never been treated like this before. She pointed her finger at Tang Ning and gritted her teeth: "You...you actually

Dare you do this..."

Seeing this, Xie Minghua, as the master, could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb at this time, and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Calm down your anger, Mrs. Sima, Brother Sima, please give Xie some face. This matter ends here, no matter who it is."

Let’s stop arguing about who is right and wrong, okay?”

Sima Xian nodded slightly and looked at the woman: "Okay, don't say any more. Brother Xie, I'm sorry for disturbing your birthday."

"This matter is completely a misunderstanding. No one should mention it again. Tangning, don't think too much about it and go back first."

"Farewell, disciple." Tang Ning turned around and left.

"It's gone, it's all gone. The banquet is not over yet. Let's go back to our seats." Xie Minghua said, dragging Sima Xian back to the main pavilion.

Tang Ning did not return to Xiyuan, but went to Xie Xuan and said that she had disturbed Xie Minghua's birthday party and had no face to stay here, so she left in a hurry.

The reason why he left in a hurry was mainly because he was worried about Sima Xian's revenge. Judging from the situation just now, although Sima Xian's face remained calm, he could already see a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

If you continue to stay, there is of course no need to worry that Sima Xian will take action here, but he will always go back to Jingyuan Pavilion. If he is intercepted on the way, it will really be a disaster.

While Sima Xian was attending a birthday banquet and couldn't get out of his way, he had to quickly return to Pingling Mountain.

As long as he returns to Pingling Mountain, he will be safe. No matter how powerful the Sima family is, they will not dare to blatantly attack the jurisdiction where Taixuanzong is stationed.

If he wants to take revenge, he has only one way, which is assassination.

So as long as he stayed in the Pingling Mountain Spirit Mine, Sima Xian had nothing to do with him. Tang Ning didn't believe that the Sima family would send people to stay at Pingling Mountain to ambush him for a short period of time.

………

The feast lasted for three full days before it came to an end.

At night, in a slightly dark room, Sima Xian was sitting cross-legged inside practicing meditation. A man pushed the door open and entered, bowing and saluting: "Young Master Xian."

"How's it going? Did you find it?"

"My subordinates have inquired. The man's surname is Zhang Mingyi, and he is a well-known alchemist in Huajian Pavilion. As for when Miss Ting got married to him, we don't know yet."

Sima Xian was silent for a while and said slowly: "Do you know where he will end up?"

"My subordinates inquired and learned that he has an alchemy room in Huangfengling, where he usually practices alchemy. Yesterday, my subordinates quietly went to the place to inquire about it. I heard that Zhang Yi and Miss Ting left the birthday banquet.

I went back to the alchemy room, but left not long after. As for where I went, my subordinates don’t know.”

"You go first!"

The man retreated in response, and Sima Xian fell into silence. For a long time, he sighed slightly, seeming regretful and somewhat relieved.

The sound of crisp footsteps sounded in the room, and Sima Xian straightened his expression. Soon, a woman came in from the outside, walked to him and sat down slowly. The two looked at each other in silence. The room fell into silence, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

After a while, the woman said leisurely: "Brother Xian, are you angry with me?"

"No, you are worrying too much."

The woman sighed: "I know that you have been thinking about her. Although you don't say it, I know that this matter is a hurdle in your heart."

Sima Xian said calmly: "It's all in the past, don't mention it again."

The woman said: "Brother Xian, I have obeyed you for so many years. Today is the first time I have disobeyed you so far. I hope we can have an honest talk."

"I don't know if you remember my father breaking up you two and forcing you to marry me, but these are already established facts and cannot be changed."

"You know very well how I treat you. Yes, I admit that I am petty. I hate her because I envy her and am jealous that she has won your heart."

"But now, I don't hold any grudge against her at all. You saw that day that she had married another woman, which shows that she didn't really love you at all."

"In this regard, I am far better than her. No matter what happens in the future, I will always wait for you, so I will no longer bear any grudge against her."

"Brother Xian, you can blame me, but I hope you know that I do everything for you."

Sima Xian was silent for a while: "It's been so long, and I'm not a person who can't let it go. No matter who was right or wrong back then, what's the point of talking about it now. No matter what, you are me, both internally and externally."

Madam, how can I blame you?"

"I just hope that something like this won't happen again in the future. It's easy for everyone to get together and relax. Why should we act like enemies and make it look too ugly? It's not good."

The woman said: "Brother Xian, don't worry. I promise you that even if I meet her again in the future, I will not embarrass her. She is married and has nothing to do with you anymore."

"At the beginning, she promised not to see you again or have anything to do with you. She would avoid any place where you were."
