Chapter 48
The leader of the martial arts world who can be like Bai Yueguang in front of me is a very interesting person. If I had traveled through time and met him, it is no exaggeration to say that I would also be moved by him. After all, I am as lustful as Xiaobai.
I could sense Jiang Xingyue's interest in me, but this was likely due to a variety of factors. I didn't know how Chu Yingyu would explain it to him, so I decided to be frank. Now, I was strong enough to tell the truth to others.
"Did you come to chat with me specifically because Ah Chu introduced me to you?"
Jiang Xingyue smiled without saying anything, waiting for me to continue complaining.
"Let's be direct. Alliance Leader Jiang has only condescended to me because I possess the inner strength to dominate the martial arts world and I am the only disciple of the Celestial Immortal. I won't get involved in these martial arts affairs, and I will share my skills with others. So there's no need to compromise yourself by befriending me."
"Miss Qin is done?"
"yes."
"But you miscalculated a little."
"What."
"I also want to see what kind of woman this dreaded killer cares about."
“…”
"I admire Chu Yingyu's character. He's a very genuine person, and he's very straightforward about wanting to find you a good husband. However, I'm probably not the type of man he's looking for."
Jiang Xingyue couldn't help but smile, but it wasn't meant to be mocking, instead there was a bit of self-reflection.
I said, "The fact that Ah Chu came to you shows that you are good enough. He is actually very arrogant."
"Haha, thank you for your kindness. May I ask who you plan to give this skill to?"
"Does Alliance Leader Jiang want it?"
"Of course I do, but whether or not I can obtain it is another matter. It would be best if the person who possesses this skill is a kind, upright, and chivalrous person. Otherwise, being indifferent to fame and fortune like you is also good."
As Jiang Xingyue said this, I heard the subtle sound of wind brought by the fabric. My five senses became more sensitive. I glanced back and saw a shadow hidden very cleverly.
Jiang Xingyue didn't even notice that Chu Yingyu was following him.
No one expected that the first thing Chu Yingyu recovered was the ability to hide his breath, but he didn't use it to hunt down his opponents, but to eavesdrop on insignificant nonsense.
As soon as I thought about it, I winked at Jiang Xingyue. The sharp-eyed leader moved his eyes and immediately understood what I meant.
I stood up from the chair, spun around and pounced on him, put my arms around his neck, and whispered in his ear, "I really like this type of leader Jiang. He's young, promising, and handsome."
Jiang Xingyue smiled without saying a word and raised her hand to place it on the back of my hand, cooperating with me in an intimate manner.
After a few seconds, I could no longer feel Chu Yingyu's breath.
Then I suppressed my happy smile and sat back in my chair. Jiang Xingyue looked at me like I was performing a magic trick and said, "Why are you bullying him when you know he cares about you so much?"
"Fool." I muttered angrily.
"I came to Xuanyin Sect mainly because I was invited by Sect Leader Zhang to discuss maintaining the overall situation of the martial arts world. After so many years of fighting between good and evil, it's only right that we take a break."
"Another thing is that I've really thought about getting a great deal. I'm only twenty-seven and still unmarried. If I could marry Miss Qin, who possesses the inner strength of a fairy guest, it would be perfect."
This is too great a sacrifice, using my own marriage to gain benefits. Smiling bitterly, I was still thinking about how to dissuade Chu Yingyu from the idea of pimping. This not only tortures him, but also consumes me.
I looked at Jiang Xingyue. "Alliance Leader Jiang is already the leader of the righteous martial arts world. He's young, promising, handsome, and wealthy. I really like him."
"But that's just a kind of appreciation, just like you think the moon is far away and the flowers are fragrant, it's no different."
"Miss Qin, since we are not destined to be together, I hope you will listen to my advice. With your internal strength, you should either find someone who can bear it and inherit it, or you will carry it with you until you die."
"Why?"
"For the balance of the entire martial arts world."
If I had not been the leader for a short period of time, I might not have understood Jiang Xingyue's words, but after thinking about it carefully, I understood it.
Such power would be a devastating blow to either side, no matter if it was the lone brave old man or me. One has retired for decades, and the other just wants to go home. We have no intention of stirring up bloody storms, so the martial arts world is very peaceful now.
"Don't worry, I will be careful."
After the friendly conversation, I bowed slightly and left the pavilion. I didn't go back to my own courtyard, but instead went around to Chu Yingyu's door. The house was dark, and I didn't know if he had gone to bed or hadn't turned on the lights.
I think this guy is hiding his head with the quilt, feeling sad, and is not sleeping.
When I reached the door, I cleared my throat.
"You didn't sleep. I guess you were feeling bad. I saw you observing furtively, deliberately getting close to Alliance Leader Jiang, but you couldn't even bear to watch and just ran away."
"It's not like an injured animal running back to its cave to lick its wounds, so why would it be so awkward?"
"I don't need you to introduce these men, no matter how good they are."
"Achu, I want to go home. I wouldn't even want a god, not to mention I already have you here. If I stay, I will only choose you."
I heard footsteps in the room. It was no longer difficult for me to identify the location by listening to the sound. Chu Yingyu should be behind this door, facing me.
Putting my hand on the door frame, I said again, "Achu, if you don't want me to find a more suitable girl for you, then don't find one for me either."
"I like you very much, but I want to go home more."
"Maybe this month, maybe next month. Let's not look for anyone else, how about we just get along well. All I want now is to catch Qu Yesi before I leave so that you can cheer up. The rest is not important."
"Anyway, that's all I have to say to you. Get some sleep."
I originally wanted to come over and beat him up, but when I got to the door, I couldn't even bear to kick it. I just said these soft words and turned away.
When I returned to my room, I saw my favorite cakes on the table. My anger was ignited all over again. That guy had actually sneaked in. I wanted to crush this cake as if it were his face.
That night, I had a dream. I dreamed of a man's back. The shadow made the voice of a brave old man. He said to make a decision before the white light disappeared, otherwise there would be no going back.
After waking up, I felt a sense of loss. I re-affirmed the light in front of my eyes and found that it was indeed much dimmer. I didn't know how much longer it would last.
But I really can't let go of things here. I always feel that if I go back, I will be worried about this place for the rest of my life.
I walked out the door with a heavy heart, and saw Chu Yingyu head-on. It was the first time in a long time that I felt scared by him.
I looked at him in shock. "How long have you been standing there so early in the morning?"
"All night long."
Door God, huh? I didn't even sense it, I must have been sleeping too soundly.
"...Your sword wound has only just healed. Don't make me worry."
"Xiao'e, go home."
"Eh? So soon, now? Are you rushing me?"
I was completely caught off guard and spoke incoherently for a while, but his initiative to speak did ease some of my worries.
"I really want to leave, but you..."
"Don't worry, I will become a hero and catch the Palace Master."
"But I..."
"Once you've made a decision, don't hesitate, Xiao'e."
"Eh? No..."
"Let's go, don't worry about me."
Something's wrong! Chu Yingyu's aggressive attitude in trying to get me out is just like clearing out the beggars who refuse to leave the inn!
I was indeed leaving, but seeing him like this, a subtle sense of discomfort grew in my heart.
"Wait! I can walk by myself! Hey!"
"Don't linger any longer, leave as quickly as possible."
Chu Yingyu had tried his best to avoid touching me before, but now he was actually pulling my hand and dragging me outside. If he could see that white light, I have no doubt that he would pick me up and throw me over!
"Stop pushing! I still want to see Lai Fu!"
“…”
"Even if I don't care about you and I don't deal with Qu Yesi, at least I can still see my only puppy!"
"Okay, I'll take you there."
As if on fire, Chu Yingyu went to report that he would take me to Taohua Village, and he was still as decisive as ever. The hesitation and pain he had felt in front of me disappeared.
Although I was very happy that he had returned to his decisive and ruthless nature, at least he no longer thought about introducing me to someone, but now he was keen on driving me back to my hometown.
I know I shouldn't make any more excuses. Since I want to go back, why should I keep putting it off?
After watching Lai Fu, I have no excuses anymore.
Just as I was watching Chu Yingyu making arrangements for his long journey, an unexpected guest arrived from outside the Xuanyin Sect.
I quickly pulled up Chu Yingyu, who was helping me pack my luggage, and forcefully pushed him to the reception room. I was not very happy at first, until he saw the other person's appearance clearly.
Chu Yingyu took a few steps forward, lifted up the man's blood-stained face, and met his eyes.
“Ahem…”
A puff of blood and saliva came out of his mouth. After the pain subsided, the man grabbed Chu Yingyu's wrist and begged with all his might, "Please, save my wife!"
Yun Wuyou's humble pleading made my heart sink. Something must have happened to him for him to become like this.
Chu Yingyu didn't say anything this time. He just looked at Yun Wuyou calmly and said calmly, "Okay."
Suddenly it gives people a sense of security.
Yun Wuyou dragged his seriously injured body until Chu Yingyu agreed, then he fainted from exhaustion.
Wu Yunran rushed to treat the ragged Yun Wuyou, and there was not even time to carry him to the guest room, so he stopped the bleeding and removed the poison right there on the couch.
Zhang Shan's face was gloomy. She said that Yun Wuyou came here because he knew that Chu Yingyu had surrendered to this side, so he came here to ask for help with a glimmer of hope.
He did not choose Lingji Pavilion, but Xuanyin Sect, probably because he thought Chu Yingyu would understand his pain.
Ye Zi was caught by Qu Yesi, and she might be in great danger because she was the third person chosen.
Qu Yesi hadn't given up on the idea of transferring his soul and changing his body. I'd only thought he'd go looking for a blood bag, but I had such good luck that he'd actually found a new container for his soul.
Xiao Ruoyin said, "Spies have reported back that Qu Yesi killed all the assassins who tried to protect him and escaped one by one. He then drank their blood and fled under their skins, so we haven't been able to find him."
"This time, in order to change his body, he captured Madam Yun and hid in Mengxi Village, Yangcheng." Zhang Shan continued with the second half of the sentence.
I heard, “This place sounds familiar.”
Chu Yingyu: "I will take you to fight the village of demons."
Me: "No wonder it's familiar. Why would you hide there?"
Chu Yingyu: "The demon has dug up many corpses and can control them using the Nine Nether Gu. That's very fertile ground. Dead zombies are easier to control than living people, and they won't betray him."
I nodded and decided, "I'm going to go beat up Qu Ye Si right now and bring Ye Zi back! The conditions for the blood sacrifice are quite harsh, and there's still time!"
"I'll go too. You've never killed anyone."
"I, I haven't killed anyone, but I can break bones! You'd better not go." I looked at the cold-faced boy suspiciously.
Chu Yingyu said he would not let me go alone no matter what. Actually, I was a little scared myself, after all, I had never been alone in the world.
But if I bring him there, I'm afraid he will be bewitched by Qu Yesi.
"Don't you believe me, Xiao'e?" The boy suddenly looked at me and asked in a flat voice.
He seemed to have completely returned to his original self, but in fact, he had changed a lot. He would ask me questions instead of making decisions on his own, and he would not make decisions in a domineering manner.
However, although he won't insist on doing things his own way, he will retreat in order to advance! He is still strong!
"I've already thought about it. Rescue Yun Wuyou's wife, capture the Palace Master, and take you to see Fu. Then I'll be able to let you go."
“…”
Your focus is still me!
The author has something to say:
The end is near!
