Chapter 56 She actually drove him away for a guard

The carriage reached the moat,

When Helan Wei got off the car, he saw another carriage coming from behind.

He curved his lips into a smile and asked Xie Chengjin lazily, "Did you bring extra people? Who's in the car at the back?"

It seems like you are asking a question even though you already know the answer.

Xie Chengjin gave him a cold look and did not answer.

Helan Wei was a little unsure at first, but after seeing Xie Chengjin's attitude, he was completely certain.

The person in the carriage was Xie Yanyu.

He told Xie Chengjin yesterday that whether Xie Yanyu had feelings for him or not, they would wait until today to see if she would come with him before making a final conclusion.

Now she really followed.

Helan Wei should have said something more sarcastic to make Xie Chengjin uncomfortable, but at this time, he was silent again.

He found that he was neither very proud nor comfortable. He suddenly remembered that the reason he said those things to Xie Chengjin yesterday was because he was sure that she would come to look for the jade pendant. He said it half-truthfully, and deep in his heart he had an idea, as if he wanted to prove something with her behavior.

What do you want to prove?

Prove that she has feelings for him?

Helan Wei analyzed his own thoughts and scoffed at the answer.

Even if she came here to find the jade pendant, wouldn't she have come if she didn't need to find it?

She'd said she loved him so many times. If she didn't, why would she bother to prove it so tirelessly? He asked himself, what else was there for him to disbelieve? Even if he didn't believe it, why didn't he just keep asking her to prove it again and again, instead of relying on something like this to prove it? What a joke.

But his heart was not at peace.

He suddenly felt a strong sense of emptiness, but he couldn't explain what it was. It just felt like something was wrong, as if he was walking on a tightrope, feeling so shaky and annoying. It seemed that only by staring at her could he feel better, so he stared at the carriage, watching it approach and stop.

Then the car door was opened,

Then he saw——

A pretty and feminine servant jumped down.

Then he helped her out of the car.

The unclear resentment reached its peak in an instant.

*

As soon as Xie Yanyu got off the carriage, he felt two gazes.

She looked in the direction of the gaze and found that it was Xie Chengjin and Helan Wei watching her not far away.

Xie Chengjin is fine.

I just saw her coming, so I glanced at her indifferently.

But Helan Wei’s perspective was different.

He had a strong presence, was gloomy, and full of resentment, with a kind of accusatory tone that he wanted to say but couldn't. Xie Yanyu felt uneasy, not knowing what he had done to offend him again.

But he hasn't been normal recently.

Xie Yanyu curled his lips, too lazy to pay attention to him, as if he didn't see his gaze, and walked towards them with the servant as if nothing had happened.

But just after taking two steps,

She noticed that the air pressure on the servant behind her seemed to drop suddenly.

People's emotions don't necessarily have to be judged through words and actions. She is relatively sensitive to these and sometimes can detect some clues just from the atmosphere around her. So now, even with her back to him, she can still feel something is wrong.

So she stopped again and turned to look at the servant: "What's wrong?"

Shen Lang had just gotten out of the car and noticed the two men's gazes.

Xie Chengjin looked at Xie Yanyu again, but Helan Wei looked at him first, and his eyes swept over him. He probably didn't recognize him. After all, he always wore a mask when he appeared in public. Even though he had met Helan Wei through the fog in the demon world a few days ago, Helan Wei couldn't see his face clearly because of the fog.

Then,

Then he saw Helan Wei also set his eyes on Xie Yanyu, staring at her shamelessly.

This place is the moat. Men like this should have their eyes gouged out and then thrown into the river like a pig cage. Shen Lang was furious, but he could only try his best to restrain the urge to tear them apart, his eyes gloomy and suppressed.

But I didn't expect Xie Yanyu to suddenly turn around.

He quickly softened his gaze, pinched his palm with his fingertips, and asked her gently, "What?"

Xie Yanyu: "I feel like you're not very happy. What's wrong?"

Whenever he heard her speak, Shen Lang would feel uncontrollably happy. Now that she asked him why he was unhappy, Shen Lang felt even more sour in his heart. He could hardly control the desire that overflowed from his bones. He wanted to hold her in his arms, kiss her, and devour her.

He lowered his eyes to look at her, his gaze carefully invading every inch of her face.

Then he lowered his eyes, hiding the heavy lust in them, and replied softly, "Miss, you are worrying too much. How could I be unhappy?"

I'm so happy that you took the initiative to talk to me...

Baby.

Xie Yanyu noticed that the hostility in him disappeared.

She was puzzled. She was supposedly very sensitive in this area, so she wouldn't be wrong. But looking at him, he certainly didn't look unhappy. He was gentle, humble, and normal. Could it be that she had just turned her back to him, so she felt wrong?

That's really strange.

Xie Yanyu was confused.

She continued walking forward until she came to Helan Wei and Xie Chengjin. After thinking for a moment, she greeted Xie Chengjin, who looked relatively normal, "Brother."

It would have been better if she didn't call him brother.

When she called him brother, Xie Chengjin thought of the dream he had last night.

As if he was burned, he suddenly looked away and stopped looking at her. He was originally prepared to at least respond to her, but his throat was very dry. He pressed the unhealed wound on his palm and ultimately did not respond to her at all.

Xie Yanyu:?

no.

Are there any normal people left?

*

Because the moat was built around the entire Tiandu, and Tiandu was a huge city, one could not see the end of the river at a glance. One could only see the shimmering water surface nearby and the wet mist covering the water surface in the distance. One could not see where the lotus leaves were either. This was probably because the maze at the bottom of the river was complicated, making it impossible for people on the shore to know the exact location of the seal of the demon world.

But no matter what, the demon world is sealed in the moat.

So after getting off the carriage, the group changed to a small boat and headed to the seal of the demon world. During the journey, no one spoke along the way, and the atmosphere was even quieter and weirder than when they were on the shore just now.

Xie Yanyu had no intention of livening up the atmosphere.

She was not a talkative person, and everyone in this group seemed strange today. She didn't want to talk to anyone, so she lifted the boat curtain and looked at the water outside.

When the boat reached deep water, it suddenly stopped.

Then,

Xie Chengjin used a spell.

The next second, the river water in front of him suddenly surged violently, as if it was split in the middle by some force, separating into two sides, revealing a path leading to the bottom of the river.

Follow this path down to the river bottom.

Because I used the water-avoidance technique, I could still breathe and see the road in the water. It was not much different from being on the ground, except that the light under the water was very dim and the visibility was slightly lower.

But at a glance, you can still see the water plants entwined on the bottom of the water. In addition, you can see many formations. However, there are many formations here, and each formation occupies a very large area. It will probably take a long time just to walk along these formations one by one.

After entering the water,

Xie Chengjin did not stay long.

He said he was going to check the seal on the other side and then left.

Xie Yanyu looked at his back. For some reason, she felt as if he was deliberately avoiding her.

He didn't ride in the same carriage with her, didn't respond to her greetings, and now he left, as if he didn't want to look at her again. It was quite strange. She couldn't figure out what had offended him again. It couldn't be that he was still angry about yesterday.

But fortunately, she didn't need him for the time being.

So he left and that was it.

Xie Yanyu was thinking about something important, so he turned around and said, "I'm going to find a jade pendant now. It's black, round, and has a Vermillion Bird pattern on it."

Helan Wei and Shen Lang were behind her.

There was a vague hostility between the two. Although no one spoke to the other, they stood far away from each other.

Seeing her turn around and speak,

Shen Lang looked down at her meekly, waiting for her to continue.

Helan Wei withdrew his gaze.

He looked at her all the way with a resentful look that seemed to want to say something but couldn't. He couldn't explain why, but he felt very uncomfortable. Now that she mentioned looking for the jade pendant, the subtle feeling as if he was being bitten by ants finally dissipated a little.

He is good at tracking. Yesterday, he used the tracking technique to help her anchor the jade pendant in the seal of the demon world. Now she wants to know the exact location of the jade pendant, so she has to ask him to help her find it again.

His expression was calm, with a casual smile in his eyes, as he waited for her to speak to him.

But the next second,

Xie Yanyu walked up to the attendant.

Helan Wei stood there, completely ignored by her as if he were air——

How could she ignore him?

She has a Mingxin Talisman on her body, and she can clearly "see".

Helan Wei was at a loss for a moment, and then suddenly felt a strong resentment. This anger rushed up, and brought with it a strange sourness in his heart. The smile in his eyes quickly cooled down, and he stared at Xie Yanyu.

Then Xie Yanyu continued to say to the attendant, "Come with me to find the jade pendant. I will try to draw its appearance for you later. Please help me pay attention to it."

Helan Wei couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

Without waiting for the attendant to answer, he suddenly said, "Thank you Yanyu."

Xie Yanyu paused when he heard this, as if he had just noticed him.

She looked at him: "Sir? Why are you still here? Aren't you here to help my brother solve the formation problem? Why don't you come over?"

Helan Wei wanted to say something, but was completely stopped by her words.

For some reason, he felt a little funny.

Thinking that it would take some time to accurately find the trace of the jade pendant, he specially set aside some time and stood here waiting for her to ask him, ready to find the location of the jade pendant before leaving. However, she didn't even want to ask him for help, which made it seem unnecessary for him.

Why did she always make him angry like this?

Helan Wei looked at her gloomily for a long moment, squeezing out words one by one: "I'll go over when the time comes. But you, on the other hand, hired a low-class servant to help you find the jade pendant. I don't think you're really interested in finding it. If he knew some advanced magic, even tracking magic, would he be so inferior to others and be ordered around like a servant?"

This is particularly harsh.

He wasn't scolding Xie Yanyu, he was scolding Chen Lang.

He looked down at me, as if evaluating a worthless, inferior commodity. His words were sharp and his gaze was as if he was looking down on an ant.

Xie Yanyu was not a nosy person. On the contrary, sometimes she was more sarcastic than others. But at this moment, she felt a little uncomfortable listening to his condescending words.

To put it bluntly, Helan Wei is a genius who grew up in a pile of gold and jade, and she is not much different from any other servant. They are all grass and insignificant, so who is nobler than the other?

Helan Wei's words were meant to scold the servant, but they also made her feel a rare sense of sympathy and displeasure, because for many years she had also been so undignified and was evaluated and treated like a commodity.

She couldn't help but look sideways at the servant.

Chen Lang had never been humiliated in such harsh words before, especially when the other party was a human being whom he had always looked down upon.

He was furious when he heard this, thinking that the cheap man was trying to belittle him in various ways just to prove his own worth and seduce Xie Yanyu.

He wanted to tear Helan Wei apart, so how could he let this bastard succeed?

However, he was still a servant, so how could he dare to act rashly in front of Xie Yanyu and arouse her suspicion?

At this time, Xie Yanyu was still looking at him.

He saw her frown, so he lowered his eyes to look at her, his eyes quickly becoming red, then he smiled gently at her, and said to her in a soothing tone: "Don't be angry, it's my status that is too low. It's not the master's fault for misunderstanding. He was also thinking about you, worried that his subordinates would not be able to help you find the jade pendant-"

"Oh?" Helan Wei interrupted. He was annoyed by the servant's voice. It was clearly a pleasant and gentle voice, but he found it extremely harsh. He cast a silencing spell on him and asked, "What are you using to help her find it?"

As soon as these words fell,

Xie Yanyu was also extremely irritated.

She rarely spoke to Helan Wei like this, but at this moment she said, "Alright, time's up, go get busy. There's no need to worry about me. You're not the only one in the world who can use the tracking technique."

As soon as these words fell,

Helan Wei was stunned.

His mind went blank for a moment, and his heart felt like it was being twisted tightly, releasing a handful of acid.

Xie Yanyu actually spoke to him like this for the sake of a guard.

She actually drove him away for a guard!

How on earth could she—

How can this be?
