Chapter 15 Did he put so much thought into her?

It was already late at night when we finished discussing the case files.

After seeing Helan Wei off, Xie Chengjin called his attendants.

He originally wanted to have his servants wait at Xie Yanyu's door tomorrow morning, and bring her to him as soon as she left the house.

Be it teaching her new spells or asking her to memorize new mental techniques, anyway, you have to waste her time so that she has no time to contact Helan Wei.

However, before he could finish his words, he paused.

He glanced at the sword wound on his palm, and for some reason, he changed his words: "She went to my private vault to choose treasures this afternoon. Is she happy?"

The attendant thought he was going to give some important instructions. When he heard the question, he was stunned for a moment before he reacted: "It seems that he is happy."

Xie Chengjin nodded lightly.

The attendant observed Xie Chengjin's expression and couldn't help but complain in his heart, wondering when did this guy start meddling in other people's business?

He pondered for a moment and added, "The young lady stayed in the treasure pavilion for nearly two hours and took away several spirit beads and some spiritual medicines."

However, after saying this,

Xie Chengjin didn't seem to care much and didn't respond.

He actually didn't care what she took away. He just recalled the scene in the afternoon and thought that she didn't seem to want to stay with him to study and practice. She was sitting there restlessly. Although she was quiet, she was always thinking about doing some small movements. Seeing her like this, his emotions also got a little out of control.

Only a few days left to leave the house of resentment,

These days Helan Wei will study the case files with him.

Since she is happy to pick treasures, it is better to take her out of the house, so as to avoid her hanging around under his nose and prevent her from meeting Helan Wei.

Thinking of this, he pressed the wound on his palm and then ordered: "Take her out for a walk tomorrow. Buy her whatever she wants and put it on my account."

The attendant paused.

Xie Chengjin added calmly, "Bring her back in the evening, and don't let her run into Helan Wei."

The attendant understood immediately.

This person still wanted to prevent Xie Yanyu and Helan Wei from contacting each other, but his method changed from taking him to the study to study to taking him out to buy things.

He felt something was wrong, but he still responded.

After leaving Xie Chengjin, he slapped his forehead and realized that something was wrong.

They said they were trying to stop her from having contact with Helan Wei, but if they really wanted to stop her, wouldn't they have just used tough measures to tie Xie Yanyu up? Why are the methods becoming more and more circuitous, and the benefits being given getting bigger and bigger?

Xie Chengjin has always followed the rules.

However, what was to be given to Xie Yanyu was completely beyond the family rules. It was not the share that an adopted daughter who did not take care of family affairs should have!

*

Xie Yanyu was genuinely confused.

She really couldn't understand why Helan Wei suddenly and unilaterally ended their friendship with her. Was it because she hadn't replied for too long?

But Helan Wei didn't care about anything, and his attitude towards others was always casual and frivolous. He didn't seem like the kind of person who would care about such things. Moreover, when she was slow to reply in the past, he never canceled his friendship with her, and even his attitude was nonchalant.

However, he has indeed been acting a little strange these past two days.

Xie Yanyu couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he decided not to think about it anymore and go find him tomorrow.

However, the next morning,

As soon as she went out, she was stopped by Xie Chengjin's attendants again.

Xie Yanyu thought he was here to ask her to study in Xie Chengjin's study again.

She was going to find Helan Wei this time, with a clear purpose, and she would not follow the attendants anymore.

Fortunately, she had been in contact with Xie Chengjin in the past two days. Although she had no way of predicting his behavior, she had a general idea of what to say and knew what to say to refuse him.

So she stopped, greeted the guard, and said gently, "Brother, is he going to teach me cultivation again today? Please tell him, I really have something to do today. Why don't you wait until I'm done, then I'll go to him..."

"Miss, you've misunderstood. I'm here to take you out of the palace," the attendant said before she could finish. "The Master has ordered you to go out today to buy some magical instruments and treasures. If you like anything, buy it. The money will be charged to the Master's account."

Xie Yanyu paused.

Going out to buy magical instruments?

It’s not that I can’t go.

She remembered a passage from the original text.

In the original plot, she got a jade token at the entrance to the demon world, but she didn't know that the jade token was a treasure that had been lost for many years by the Tianjian Sect. Her fiancé was the new leader of the Tianjian Sect, and had been looking for the jade token, and happened to find that the jade token was on her.

This is how she met her fiancé.

Her fiancé recognized her and, seeking revenge, proposed to her.

If she does nothing, this plot will not happen for about a year.

But now,

Now that she knew she could tackle multiple storylines simultaneously, there was no reason for her to wait passively any longer.

She was ready to take the initiative to trigger this plot,

Just a few days later, Xie Chengjin and his group were going to the Yuan residence, which was right next to the entrance to the demon world.

She had originally planned to go with him, and now she could take advantage of this trip to get the jade token and meet her fiancé sooner.

But the entrance to the demon world is very dangerous, surrounded by demons, and the jade token is not so easy to get.

In the original plot, she also got it accidentally with the help of a magic weapon.

Now Xie Chengjin ordered his servants to take her out to buy things.

She could just buy some magical weapons, some of which she would use for self-defense, and the other part of which she would absorb the spiritual power inside to improve her cultivation.

You can always find Helan Wei.

But if I take her out to buy magic tools and refuse now, there may not be such an opportunity again.

Xie Yanyu quickly weighed the options, then nodded and agreed gently, "Okay, let's go now."

She originally thought that she would go find Helan Wei after she came back.

However, the tour lasted until night, and on the way back home, the carriage had another problem.

When she returned to Xie's house, it was already late at night. Everything was quiet and everyone was asleep. She had no way to look for Helan Wei again.

And a few days later,

Every morning, the attendants would wait outside the door on time and take her out to buy things. After visiting the East Market, they would go to the West Market, buy magic tools and clothes,

Every day when I returned home it was already late at night without exception.

The house was almost full of things she had bought. She had even absorbed spiritual energy from the spiritual treasures she had purchased, and her cultivation had already broken through the sixth level of foundation building. Except for the fact that she had no chance to look for Helan Wei, everything else was going incredibly smoothly.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day to set off for Yuan’s house.

That day, Xie Chengjin did not ask the servants to take her out.

She rarely had free time, but she did not go to find Helan Wei. Instead, she went to the steward's office of Xie Mansion first to prepare to sign up to go to Yuan's house.

All matters in the Xie Mansion were arranged by the General Manager's Office, including the selection of the team going to the Yuan Mansion. After signing up, they would set off for the Yuan Mansion in the afternoon. On the way, they would always find opportunities to talk to Helan Wei.

Then you can slowly ask him why he unfriended her.

Xie Yanyu had a good plan.

However, once we arrived at the place and explained our purpose,

Then I heard the manager's firm words:

"No, you can't go. The Master gave instructions a few days ago not to let you go!"

*

On the other side,

East Garden of Xie Mansion.

The attendant walked up to Xie Chengjin and whispered, "The headmaster just sent a message saying that the young lady wanted to sign up to go to Yuan's house, but he has already refused."

Xie Chengjin hummed coldly.

He was emotionally restrained, and his thoughts were even more unpredictable.

The attendant observed his expression, seeing no signs of emotion, but he felt that he had been a little too concerned about Xie Yanyu these past two days. He suspected that he might want to know more about her, so he reported, "These past few days, you've been taking the young lady out during the day and bringing her back late at night, not allowing her the opportunity to meet Master Helan."

Saying,

The attendant took out the account book and opened another booklet, continuing, "She didn't buy any expensive spiritual treasures, but she bought a lot of jade pendants. She bought several jade pendants with the same pattern at once. They are made of spiritual jade. I have drawn the pattern. You..."

Before he finished speaking.

Xie Chengjin suddenly interrupted: "No need to tell me."

The attendant paused, holding the book in his hand, not knowing whether to take it back or not.

Xie Chengjin didn't say anything else.

Just frowned slightly——

The attendants all knew he didn't like to meddle in other people's affairs and would never pick out these matters to report to him, but now they were guessing what he meant and reporting Xie Yanyu's affairs to him in detail. Had he been spending so much time on her recently?

Maybe.

I was too worried that she would cause some trouble that would bring disgrace to our family, just like in the dream, and I wanted to stop it, so I paid more attention to her.

But we will set off to Yuan's house in the afternoon.

She won't follow to the resentment house,

Moreover, Helan Wei stayed in Xie Mansion in order to capture the vengeful ghost and bring it back to the sect. After the matter at the vengeful house was completed, he should set off to return to the sect.

In this case, she and Helan Wei would probably have no chance to meet again.

He didn't need to stare at her anymore.

After that, if she continued to stay in the Xie family, he would treat her well enough and help her find a suitable marriage.

But I should stop spending so much time on her these days, and there is no need to meet her again.

In the final analysis, he is just an irrelevant person.

Her affairs were trivial to him and he didn't care.

Thinking of this, Xie Chengjin tilted his head slightly, and his sight happened to sweep across the book in the attendant's hand.

He saw the patterns drawn on the booklet.

She bought several jade pendants with Vermillion Bird patterns at once.

He paused, looked away, and told his attendant, "Stand back."

“I’m not interested in what she likes,” he said.

*

at the same time,

Helan knelt down in front of the table, watching his servants help him pack his luggage.

The communication talisman is placed on the table.

Quiet, still no movement.

He picked it up and opened Xie Yanyu's dialog box, which was also blank.

Even though he unilaterally restored his friendship with her, she didn't send him a single message in the past few days.

After a while,

He instructed his attendants, "Pack all your belongings and take them to the Yuan residence."

The attendant asked, "Sir, after we capture the vengeful ghost, will we not return to the Xie Mansion, but instead depart directly from the vengeful residence and return to the sect?"

Helan Wei nodded slightly.

In his previous life, after the matter of the Resentful House was settled, he still went back to the Xie Mansion.

Because of Xie Yanyu, he found her quite interesting, so he stayed at Xie's house for a while longer.

But this time he didn't plan to go back to Xie's house.

Isn’t it just Xie Yanyu?

He was just unwilling to accept that she had broken up with him so cleanly in the previous life and chose someone else, so when he lived again, he thought of tying her down and entangled her while she loved him. She had come to him first, so she was his thing, his plaything, and she could not go to someone else. She would be his even after death.

But from the very beginning of this life,

She changed.

She had chosen to feed him the antidote to the love poison and not reply to his messages. He didn't want to think about why she had changed like this. Could it be that she didn't like him anymore? The answer was already on the verge of coming out, but he forced himself to suppress his thoughts.

It's just a plaything,

He didn't love her, he just didn't want to.

In this case, why should he lower himself further and willingly have anything to do with an adopted daughter of a noble family with low cultivation and an awkward status?

That's it.

Anyway, she wouldn't go to Yuan's house with him, and there would be no more entanglement from today onwards.

Helan Wei lowered his eyelashes and put the communication talisman aside.

The movements seemed to be the same as usual, and it didn't look like any effort was used.

However, when he grasped the jade communication talisman, a small crack appeared on it.

*

It was Xie Chengjin who ordered her not to sign up to go to Yuan's house.

Xie Yanyu was not prepared to confront the boss head-on, so he left immediately after hearing the boss's refusal.

But in the afternoon, she went to the back door of the steward's room again.

The masters who were going to the Resentful House gathered at the gate of the mansion before setting off, each taking their own carriage, while the servants gathered at the back door of the steward's house first.

She arrived early and only a maid was waiting there.

Few of the servants in the mansion, regardless of gender, looked up to her. Whenever they saw her, they would speak harshly: "I heard from the steward that you came here once this morning. Why are you here again now? You are not suited to a place like the Yuan Mansion. You should go back and enjoy your life."

Xie Yanyu said in a gentle tone: "Enjoy yourself?"

The maid said sourly: "You are the lady of the mansion. You don't have to go anywhere and there are people to serve you. You just need to go shopping every day. Isn't this a blessing?"

Xie Yanyu moved a little closer: "It sounds like you really want to enjoy this blessing."

The maid didn't know why she suddenly asked such a question.

I have a bad feeling.

He was about to add a few words, but the next second, when he looked up, he saw Xie Yanyu taking out his hand from behind his back.

And in her hand, at this moment, she was holding a -

A wooden stick as thick as an arm used for washing clothes.

The maid was stunned for a moment and hadn't reacted yet.

The next second,

I felt a sharp pain in my neck.

Xie Yanyu said nothing more. He hit her on the neck with a stick, knocking her unconscious. Then he dragged her back to the yard by the collar, tied her to the bed with ropes, fed her medicine that would make her unconscious for seven or eight days, and simply changed her appearance to look like that of the maid.

Since I can't go to the Yuan's house openly, I'll pretend to be a servant and go there. There's always a way to get there anyway.

She is soft and docile only on the outside, and obedient only on the surface. The bones under the skin are hard and prickly. She will never truly give in to anything. Once she decides to do something, she will do it by any means necessary.

When I returned to the back door of the steward's room, the servants were already there.

Xie Yanyu followed in the team——

Set off for the Yuan House.
