Chapter 103: To put it simply, it's a concubine who can't be seen in public...
It turns out that there really is past and present lives.
It's not reincarnation, but starting over again.
Those memories and emotions were like a tide, flooding over my head and seeping into my bones.
Li Xun was like being nailed to the spot, his hands still dripping with blood, but he no longer felt the pain.
The surroundings were so quiet that he couldn't even feel the passage of time. His mind was blank and his thoughts were so slow that they almost stopped.
However, at this time,
The door was suddenly pushed open.
*
Xie Yanyu had actually been waiting at Li Xun's door for a while.
Just now, when Li Xun's servants saw her coming, they all looked cautious and whispered to her in a low voice that Li Xun was in a very bad mood, had thrown a lot of things in the house, and locked himself in, not knowing what he was doing, and asked her to be careful.
They didn't know why Li Xun was furious, but she had the answer in her heart.
It was simply because he caught her and Helan Wei in the act.
When she saw the broken jade pendant in front of the door, she was just guessing.
But just now the system popped up to report the plot progress to her——
Because of the love thread Gu, Helan Wei's progress directly advanced to 65%.
In addition, Li Xun's progress has also reached 35%.
This means that he must have been outside the door and heard it.
So the reason he called her over at this time should be nothing more than to talk about breaking off the engagement.
Xie Yanyu had an idea in mind and had already started thinking about countermeasures when he knocked on the door.
But after knocking on the door several times, no one answered.
The room was quiet, either no one was inside, or the person inside didn't hear the knock on the door.
Waiting outside all the time was no solution, so she finally stopped knocking and just pushed the door open and went in.
Push the door open,
I saw Li Xun sitting in front of a low table with many letters spread out on the table.
But before she could see clearly what those were, Li Xun seemed to come to his senses suddenly. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reached out and quickly hid the letters on the table behind him, as if he was afraid that she would see them.
Xie Yanyu: "..."
Xie Yanyu paused and couldn't help asking, "What are you hiding?"
Li Xun had already withdrawn his hand after hiding the notes. Hearing this, his Adam's apple rolled: "Nothing."
Xie Yanyu looked at him calmly for a moment longer, thinking he was a little strange.
But for a moment, I couldn't tell what was so strange about it.
At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged, with an upright posture and a straight back.
But inexplicably, she sensed a bit of embarrassment in him.
It's also possible that she saw it wrong. This person must be angry right now, so there's no need to be embarrassed.
She suppressed her thoughts, walked to his side, and saw a broken brush on the ground, so she bent down to pick it up and gently placed it on the table.
Then she sat down and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Xie Yanyu asked even though he knew the answer.
After these words were spoken, Li Xun fell silent.
She already knew what she was here for, and before coming in, she had predicted his reaction and deduced what he would say countless times in her mind.
She thought he would start a hysterical argument with her, or make some sarcastic remarks, but she never thought he would remain silent.
Therefore, she was also a little surprised.
But on second thought, silence is actually normal.
When a person's emotions reach an extreme, he or she will be speechless. When he or she is extremely angry, he or she will feel that no words are enough, so he or she simply stops talking.
Xie Yanyu thought about it, but didn't speak first.
She was preparing something in her mind, waiting for him to speak first. Just in case, she gently pinched the engagement jade pendant in her sleeve with her fingers.
It wasn't until the jade pendant was warmed up by the temperature of my fingertips that I heard him speak.
"I'm asking you. Is it okay to get married sooner?"
"That's a..." Xie Yanyu spoke as soon as he opened his mouth. Instinctively, he thought that his first sentence would definitely be an accusation, so he was ready to make a few sophistry remarks about Helan Wei. However, before he finished speaking, he suddenly realized what he was talking about -
Get married earlier?
……ah?

at the same time.
Helan Wei arrived at the foot of Shangqing Fairy Palace Mountain.
When Xie Yanyu entered the sect for trial, he destroyed the center of the maze, so the entire maze at the entrance of the mountain was also destroyed, and a new maze needed to be set up.
Zhao Zhen went into seclusion due to injury on the second day after he accepted Xie Yanyu as his disciple. As the first disciple, Helan Weishen had to take charge of this matter on behalf of Zhao Zhen.
This formation is very mysterious and complicated.
Although Helan Wei could set up the formation by himself, he still needed someone to help him, so he brought some fellow disciples with him.
At this time, he was holding a compass and re-locating the center of the maze.
Behind him was a forest of green trees. He was wearing the white robe of a disciple of Shangqing Immortal Palace. Standing in the mountains and forests, he was very eye-catching.
Although his fellow disciples were wearing the same clothes, he stood out a little too much. At first glance, he looked like an immortal walking out of the woods, so everyone couldn't help but secretly look at him.
It was at this time that someone saw the marks on his neck——
There are blood marks from fingernails.
There are kiss marks.
There are bite marks.
Hiss. What's going on?
If we only saw scratches, we could explain that the senior brother was scratched by an animal, but when we saw bite marks and kiss marks, there was no need to speculate any further.
At first, some people didn't notice the marks, but after noticing others looking at Helan Wei's neck, more people followed his gaze, and after a short while, everyone saw them. Everyone looked at the marks, but didn't dare to comment. They were all so stifled that they could only look at each other and exchange glances.
Everyone was a little surprised.
They didn't actually know Helan Wei very well, but they had all talked to him and had contact with him.
Although he was very gentle in his dealings with others, that gentleness was a bit casual, seeming perfunctory and condescending, as if he looked down on everyone. Normally, there weren't many people around him, but now there were these marks on his neck...
After a while, someone said, "Brother, your neck..."
Upon hearing this, Helan Wei reached out and touched his neck.
He lowered his eyes, his eyelashes covering his dark pupils. His fingertips touched the marks, and then, as if realizing something, he spoke slowly, "I'm sorry to bother you. The marks are not in the right place, and they can't be covered up."
Can’t cover it?
If you can’t cover it up, why not use spiritual power to erase the traces?
The mark is not too deep and can be quickly eliminated with spiritual power.
Everyone was a little surprised, but didn't think much about it. Seeing that Helan Wei didn't shy away from this matter, they became bolder.
Someone asked, "Brother, are you going to have a Taoist partner?"
Helan Wei just smiled and said nothing.
He didn't say anything, so the people around him thought he had tacitly agreed. They didn't think that he was only married to the other party in reality, but the other party didn't give him the name of husband and wife at all. Not only that, the other party wanted to marry someone else, so the status of their senior brother was actually very embarrassing. To put it simply, he was a mistress who could not be seen in public.
No one thought about it that way, so they asked again, "Is it from our sect?"
Helan Wei nodded lightly.
Everyone was immediately surprised again: "I haven't seen Senior Brother get too close to anyone on a daily basis? Who is it?"
Helan Wei did not answer.
He took the compass and selected the direction of the center of the formation. He seemed to be deliberately not answering, deliberately inviting speculation, and said in a light tone: "Yes, who is it?"
Who else could it be?
These days, the only person who is close to him is Xie Yanyu.
She also learned from Zhao Zhen, who was in seclusion. Xie Yanyu's Wuxiang Sword was taught by Helan Wei, and many people have seen them practicing swords together. So who else could it be besides her?
Helan Wei's words were like holding a pipa and half covering her face.
But after much deliberation, the people around them came to this answer: "It's Junior Sister Xie, right? Right?"
Others echoed—
"Yes, yes, yes. I heard that Junior Sister Xie's letter of recommendation was written by Senior Brother. The Helan and Xie families are also old friends."
"I heard from my master that Senior Brother Helan and Junior Sister Xiao Xie seemed to have known each other before."
"Ah! That's her. It must be Junior Sister Xie."
Helan Wei no longer responded, with his eyelashes drooping.
Listening to these people's speculations, he just curled the corners of his lips slightly.
However, at this moment, a discordant voice suddenly broke out from the crowd -
"That's not right. Junior Sister Xie and Sect Leader Li are engaged. It's definitely not her."
"Oh, yes, yes, I almost forgot about this. It definitely wasn't Junior Sister Xie."
"Yeah, if Junior Sister Xie and Senior Brother had something going on, why would she abandon Senior Brother and run off to marry someone else?"
“…”
The corners of Helan Wei's lips, which had been slightly raised, sank directly. He suddenly exerted force with his hand and almost crushed the compass.

The other side.
Xie Yanyu and Li Xun stared at each other.
The room was very quiet and no one spoke for a long time.
She looked at Li Xun, trying her best to make the scrutiny in her eyes less obvious. She looked him up and down, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with him. But there was definitely something wrong with him. Why would he say such a thing at this time?
His eyes are still a little red, probably because he was angry before.
Xie Yanyu felt a little terrified.
If he had come up and gone crazy, she wouldn't have felt this way, because she had figured everything out, but he was so abnormal that made her feel like everything was out of control, which was terrifying.
She was silent for a long time before she spoke again: "Why do you want to get married so early?"
She didn't want to talk about her and Helan Wei in front of him. After all, he hadn't mentioned it yet, and she couldn't confess first. So she changed the topic and asked, "If you don't want to get married, just talk about engagement. Don't you want to get engaged to me? And you want me to threaten you with your life?"
As soon as these words fell.
But she saw that Li Xun's eyes became even redder.
Inexplicably, she felt that he seemed very sad, as if he was about to cry, but this person loved to pretend, even if he really cried, he would never cry in front of others, so he seemed to hold back his tears: "I just -"
Xie Yanyu: "What are you?"
Li Xun: "I just feel like, I seem to."
Xie Yanyu: "Yeah."
Li Xun: "I seem to be a little bit..."
He is a very eloquent person. He can talk non-stop in people's ears all day long. He talks a lot, densely and harshly.
Why is he breathing heavily when he speaks now, and each word comes out one by one?
It's so abnormal.
Xie Yanyu was really a little scared: "Can you please finish what you want to say in one breath?"
Li Xun's Adam's apple rolled, and his eyes were fixed on her from beginning to end.
He felt that his tongue and throat were out of his control, and he wanted to say some strange words. He had never said such words before. They were really very strange words, such as words of like or love. But now it seemed not so difficult to speak them. For the first time, he didn't want to resist so much, as if it was okay to just say them.
Then he opened his mouth again,
But before she could say anything, she saw her pale face, which became even paler.
She seemed frightened by his abnormality.
So the words went around in his mouth again, his eyes were sore, but he was also amused by her useless look. Finally, his expression was weird and distorted, and he said in a sinister voice: "Okay, I'll scare you to death if I tell you."
Xie Yanyu: "..."
Xie Yanyu thought to herself, why don't you just shut up? She turned her eyes away and was about to speak.
But the next second, she saw a corner of the notes behind him exposed, and she stared at it for a while.
Li Xun noticed her gaze shifting, so he lowered his head and found that she was staring at the discarded manuscripts of the divorce papers behind him.
He paused, and tried to hide the things again.
However, she was faster and suddenly grabbed something. Li Xun couldn't even catch it. The back of his hand was cut by the sharp edge of the paper and he couldn't help but hiss.
Then he looked up and found that she had unfolded the note.
Then, she read out the words in a calm voice:
"Letter of withdrawal of engagement."
