Chapter 59 Wu Ciyan, I Like You

When Xuezhi heard words like "girl" and "three hundred years ago", she immediately jumped down from the second floor of the teahouse, but she saw nothing.

Not long after he returned, he heard that the largest temple in Wencheng had been burned down.

He hesitated for a moment, took his master's sword and went out.

"Master, where are you going?" asked the young disciple holding the tea.

Xuezhi said, "Go find your master."

Xuezhi picked a horse at random and rushed towards the place where the smoke was the heaviest.

In fact, he was not sure, he just had a vague guess.

If the master didn't come back to see him, then it must be for something else important.

He was not aware of the important event that had happened to his master, but the temple caught fire on the day his master entered the city.

This is too coincidental.

He suspected that his master came back this time just to see him for the last time.

But when the master arrived at the door and stood in front of the three-story teahouse, he hesitated and didn't dare to go in, fearing that he would see him and not know how to face him.

Outside the fire scene, soldiers were fleeing in panic, and civilians were busy putting out the fire.

Xuezhi grabbed a random soldier and noticed the blood on his shoulder. It wasn't a burn, but rather a puncture from a sword. "Where are the people inside?"

The officers and soldiers said, "They all ran away."

Xuezhi asked, "I'm asking about the girl who set the fire!"

Seeing him approaching with a sword in hand, the officers and soldiers, with his extraordinary aura, thought he was a high-ranking official from somewhere, and hurriedly replied, "Your Excellency, she is a formidable figure. She can manipulate a sword to such an extent that we brothers are no match for her. It's not that..."

"I'm asking someone!" Xuezhi said anxiously.

The officer said, "They were taken away by the heavenly soldiers."

The strength in Xuezhi's hands gradually faded, he let go of the soldiers, turned around and went into the fire scene.

"Master! Master!" The young disciple came on horseback.

Xuezhi turned around and found her hand being held by her young disciple who had hurried over.

The young disciple asked curiously, "Master, where is our Grandmaster? Shall we take him home?"

Xuezhi stuck her head out and took a look at the fire, but ultimately decided not to go and die.

He held his apprentice's hand tightly and said, "Let's go home."

Wen Lanzhi has seen too many people being tied up in the sky for saying the wrong thing, and today it is finally her turn.

The cloth was pulled from her eyes and she spat at it.

Then he was slapped.

Her head felt dizzy and her eyes moved around for a long time before they finally fixed on the big-bellied guardian angel.

The guardian angel said, "If you just said something wrong, just chop off your head. You can have another chance to be a human being in your next life. But you..."

He paused, frowned, and said, "It's a heinous crime."

Wen Lanzhi's throat was sore that she couldn't speak.

The guardian spirit said, "So, I had you brought here and executed, your soul shattered."

Wen Lanzhi curled her lips and said, "Not bad, I killed more than twenty of your heavenly soldiers."

"That's perfect. Use your soul to comfort them." The guardian angel extended his hand, and a long, thin whip was handed to him. "Don't be fooled by the fact that this thing is as thin as a willow branch. One whip will scatter your soul. Three whips will make your soul fly away."

"It was only three lashes." Wen Lanzhi's hands were tied so tightly that they hurt. She turned slightly, trying to move them. "It's just three lashes. I wish I could die right away. But if I die, you'll lose a chance to take credit..."

"Ugh..." A whip came down and hit the soul, but not even blood was seen.

Wen Lanzhi's tongue was bitten and bleeding. She used all her strength to hold back the cry of pain, but her body could not stop shaking, like a dove struggling to survive, flapping its wings desperately. She wanted to pretend that nothing was wrong, but the distorted expression on her face betrayed her.

But she still had to say something... She had to say it before her soul flew away. She couldn't die now, she had to go and save Wu Ci Yan.

She said, "I am Wu Ciyan's wife. Don't you want to... offer me to the Heavenly Court to seek credit?"

Many of her organs had lost sensation, and she didn't even notice the blood from the tip of her tongue flowing down her chin. She thought she was pretending well.

The guardian spirit was in no hurry to kill her, saying, "Wu Ciyan is dead, so what's the point of his wife being so important?"

"Is he dead?" Wen Lanzhi murmured.

She doesn't believe it.

Wen Lanzhi said: "You think it is not important, but the Heavenly Court may not think so."

"Ha!" The guardian angel raised his arm and was about to whip for the second time.

Suddenly, he froze and couldn't move at all.

"Wait a minute!" A man walked in from outside. He said this and released the immobilization spell on the guardian deity. "Excuse me, I heard that there's someone named Wen Lanzhi here, sir?"

The Guardian Angel put down his whip and smiled. "Why? General Xiao Qi is also curious about who this Wen Lanzhi is, so he came to take a look?"

Qi Yuefeng said, "You are joking, my Lord. I don't have that much free time. General Qin Feng ordered me to come and fetch him."

The Guardian Angel asked hurriedly, "What? General Qin also knows?"

Qi Yuefeng said, "Don't worry, my lord. General Qin is not here to call for punishment. He just heard that this Miss Wen is Wu Ciyan's wife, and General Qin is merciful and wants the two of them to die together."

"Oh!" The guardian deity waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to untie Wen Lanzhi. "General Qin, please be merciful. I will send someone to escort this criminal to the Heavenly Palace."

"No need." Qi Yuefeng said, "I'll take it with me."

He turned his head and found Wen Lanzhi staring at him, her eyes seemed to be soaked in blood.

"You are..." Wen Lanzhi recognized him.

She swallowed the words that her other half hadn't said, for fear of causing him trouble.

Qi Yuefeng had already thought of his response, but he didn't expect that Wen Lanzhi didn't say anything at all.

He swallowed hard, suppressed the sob in his throat, and said, "I've taken the person away."

"General Xiao Qi, please." said the guardian god of the demon world.

Qi Yuefeng did not let her go because of their past friendship, but took her directly to heaven.

It was expected, after all, it has been a long time since we last saw each other.

Wen Lanzhi also didn't want to cause the other party to lose his job because of herself.

Just pretend you don’t know me.

The clouds carried the two people higher and farther, and the clouds flew very slowly and gently.

Wen Lanzhi couldn't help but ask, "Yue... Qi Yuefeng, have you been well these years?"

Qi Yuefeng turned around and found that she was not looking at him. He was a little disappointed and said, "It's not very good. I am not valued by the general, and I don't have anything to bribe."

Wen Lanzhi said "Oh".

Qi Yuefeng said, "Actually, when I first ascended to the throne, the Emperor of Heaven gifted me a cloak made of phoenix feathers. I've kept it ever since. Today, in order to see you, I gave it to General Qin. I even treated him to a drink, hoping he'd give me a chance to perform meritorious service."

Wen Lanzhi said "Oh" again, not knowing what to say.

After a while, Qi Yuefeng handed her a handkerchief.

Wen Lanzhi stared at the handkerchief in a daze.

Qi Yuefeng touched his cheek.

Wen Lanzhi followed his movements and touched her cheek, which was wet.

She didn't notice at all even though she was crying so hard.

She pushed the veil aside and said, "Don't let me defile the general's things."

Qi Yuefeng looked at the handkerchief that was pushed back and put it away.

Wen Lanzhi was more surprised than delighted to meet an old friend here.

Before adopting Xuezhi, Wen Lanzhi also adopted a child. The two wandered together for a while. The child was named Qi Sihusheng because his family hoped that he could live well forever. But the name was too strange, so Wen Lanzhi spent some money and asked a teacher to change it to Qi Yuefeng.

Originally, "Feng" meant peak of a mountain, but Wen Lanzhi remembered it wrongly and wrote it as "Feng" several times. The child indulged her and said, "Then let's call it Qi Yue Feng, it's almost the same anyway."

Later, the two settled in Wencheng. The reason for settling in Wencheng was very simple, because the Wen in Wencheng and the Wen in Wen Lanzhi are the same Wen, and it sounds like Wen Lanzhi can be the city lord.

The child liked swordsmanship and had talent, so he learned very quickly. Wen Lanzhi's swordsmanship was not enough for him to learn, and he didn't want to stop there, so he packed his bags and went up the mountain to become a disciple.

Wen Lanzhi didn't know what happened afterwards.

She took one last look at Qi Yuefeng, wondering if she would have the chance to see him again.

She looked up and saw the towering gate in the distance.

She asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

Qi Yuefeng asked, "What?"

Wen Lanzhi: "Let me die with Wu Ciyan."

Qi Yuefeng shook his head.

The clouds moved much slower.

After a long time, he couldn't help but say, "Sister, I hope you are alive."

Wen Lanzhi sneered: "But your sister doesn't want to live anymore."

Qi Yuefeng opened his mouth and closed it again.

When they met again, he wanted to talk to his sister more, say one more word, and one more word.

He wanted to tell his sister that he would keep her alive no matter what.

He wanted to persuade his sister to leave heaven and go back to live a good life.

He would give all his savings to his elder sister, and he would bribe General Qin in the future, do his job well, and become a very powerful god, so powerful that he could protect his elder sister and make her happy every day.

But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them.

He was afraid that his sister would ask him why he had disappeared for the past three hundred years.

I'm also afraid that my sister hasn't forgiven him yet.

He pulled out a pill from his sleeve, "Soul-Fixing Pill."

Wen Lanzhi took a look and pushed him away again, "General, please let me die quickly."

Qi Yuefeng lightly pressed her into the Heavenly Palace, wanting to pretend he was escorting her, but he was afraid that she would feel pain.

As soon as she entered Qin Feng's palace and saw the person sitting there, Wen Lanzhi turned around, drew the sword from Qi Yuefeng's waist, and stabbed Qin Feng with all her strength.

Before he could meet Qin Feng, he was picked away by the subordinates next to him.

Even her soul is unstable now, how can she hold the sword steadily?

"Qi Yuefeng! Are you planning a rebellion?" the subordinate said angrily.

Qi Yuefeng hurriedly knelt on one knee and apologized, "General, please forgive me. I was not paying attention and almost let this... evil beast... hurt you..."

"Hey..." Qin Feng stood up. "This isn't General Xiao Qi's fault. It's General Xiao Qi's first day on duty, so it's inevitable that he made some mistakes. He'll just have to gain more experience in the future."

He walked up to Wen Lanzhi, who was pinned to the ground and unable to move, and lifted her chin. "Your soul is scattered, and your appearance is haggard. If I throw you into the Demon Locking Tower now, will he still like you?"

Wen Lanzhi: "So General Qin hasn't married yet, is it because he's too ugly?"

Qin Feng smiled and was not angry at this. "She is so sharp-tongued, General Xiao Qi, pull out one of her teeth."

Qi Yuefeng didn't move.

Wen Lanzhi didn't even look at him and said, "What are you afraid of? My soul is about to be torn apart! Am I still afraid that this body will become ugly?"

Qin Feng looked at Qi Yuefeng, who stood up and knelt in front of Wen Lanzhi.

Wen Lanzhi's mouth was pried open, a flash of light appeared before her eyes, and then she tasted blood, but it didn't hurt.

Qi Yuefeng pinched her cheek and she screamed in pain subconsciously. When she opened her eyes, she saw Qi Yuefeng's bloody little finger. He had cut a small piece of flesh from her hand.

He used magic to quickly stop the bleeding, took out a handkerchief, and placed the piece of meat on the handkerchief. The moment he turned around, the piece of meat that had been cut off had turned into bloody teeth.

Qin Feng waved his hand without looking closely.

Qi Yuefeng wrapped the tooth with a handkerchief and put it away.

Qin Feng said: "Just throw it away."

Qi Yuefeng said, "I don't want to dirty the general's territory."

Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction.

Qi Yuefeng stepped aside, and Qin Feng suddenly raised his sword and stabbed Wen Lanzhi in the shoulder.

Wen Lanzhi was caught off guard and let out a sharp scream, then was nailed to the ground.

Qi Yuefeng squatted down and took out a flying book. "Do you really think I'm so kind as to let you die together?"

Wen Lanzhi swallowed the curse words in her throat. She didn't want to cause trouble for Qi Yuefeng anymore.

Qin Feng said: "However, I can let you talk to him again."

He: "What else do you want to say?"

Wen Lanzhi clenched her teeth and refused to say a word.

Qin Feng: "Nothing? Fine then, I'll convey it this way."

"Wait." Wen Lanzhi's tone suddenly became gentle.

Although it is inappropriate, if I don’t say it now, I will never have the chance to say it again.

They will never see the day when fireworks fill the sky and flowers cover the city.

They will not have the chance to go boating on the lake in the misty rain.

Wen Lanzhi: "I..."

Qin Feng squatted down: "Me what?"

She closed her eyes and made up her mind, "Wu Ciyan, I like you."

Qin Feng let go, and the blue smoke licked and swallowed up all the golden paper.
