Chapter 111: What's wrong with breaking a few rules for me? ...
How could he take out such an unlucky lot?
Xie Chengjin's face had become gloomy and somewhat scary.
The broken lucky stick in my hand is deeply embedded in my palm, making the blood flow more freely.
The unlucky lot lay on the table, mocking him mercilessly, because he had drawn it himself.
Gods and Buddhas are above, but he was obsessed and smoked a cigarette that reflected his marriage with Xie Yanyu.
But why did he want to take advantage of her marriage?
Because of curiosity?
No.
He is not a curious person.
Xie Chengjin usually had a blank expression on his face, and it was difficult to detect any emotion from his behavior. It was rare for him to show his emotions. His face was unusually cold and ugly. He stared at Xie Yanyu's face, and she questioned him in a gentle tone. Those questions that he had always avoided were now forcefully brought out by her and thrown in his face.
Her face seemed to suddenly twist, becoming fierce and sharp, and Xie Chengjin abruptly looked away.
But when I looked away, I could still hear her voice.
Her slow, measured voice was like the sharpest knife in the world.
She deliberately pressed him:
"You just don't want me to get engaged to Li Xun. It has nothing to do with the result of the signing. Why?
"When I was about to come to Shangqing Immortal Palace, you held me tightly and wouldn't let me leave. When I was about to get engaged, you changed the lottery and wouldn't let me marry. You wanted to keep me by your side. Why, brother?"
She also brought up what happened before.
When the remaining poison took effect, his rationality was completely gone. She went to his yard to get the recommendation letter, and he hugged her, bit the skin/flesh of her neck, and asked her why she left. She wanted to practice, and he could also give her those spiritual treasures and resources. Why did she leave?
Memories were like a knife, ripping through his brain along with her voice, bringing him severe headaches and tinnitus.
His emotions fluctuated, and the remaining poison in his body was once again affected.
His chest was heaving and he really didn't look well.
Xie Yanyu looked at him.
Her brother, on the surface, still had his eyes downcast, kneeling in front of the table, his face only paler. However, his hands were clenched tightly under the table, and blood was leaking from between his fingers, dripping down. She knew he was going crazy.
So fragile.
She just pushed him.
Xie Yanyu was very quiet, waiting for his answer.
After a while,
She heard him say, "Because of your blood."
Xie Yanyu: "Hmm?"
Xie Chengjin was cold and mean: "I want to keep you by my side because I need your blood."
"is that so?"
"yes."
Xie Yanyu lifted up his left sleeve.
She no longer wrapped her entire forearm with layers of gauze like she used to. "But all the wounds on my arm have healed, and there are no new ones, so there's no need to bandage them anymore. Brother, you haven't taken my blood in a while."
The words fell.
Xie Chengjin's eyes fell on her arm.
Now her arms were bare, and the scars on them could be seen. They looked somewhat similar to his palms, one after another, with knife marks scattered around, some new, some old, some flat, and some bulging. The old scars could be seen to be old, with a whitish or yellowish color. The new scars could also be seen at a glance, and the new flesh that had grown was light pink.
Every wound can show the direction of the knife.
People skilled in martial arts can even tell how the knife was struck, whether the tip or the blade moved first; how much force was applied, lightly at first and then heavily, or heavily at first and then lightly; they can even tell what kind of knife was used and how sharp the blade was.
Each scar was very smooth, and it could be seen that when she cut her arm, she used great force from beginning to end, without any hesitation or weakness due to the pain, so each cut was made without any hesitation, so that the scars looked clean and neat, and the knife she used was also extremely sharp.
But the knife that once cut through her flesh seemed to be cutting him open bit by bit at this moment.
Xie Chengjin knew that her words did not have any other meaning, she was simply exposing him.
Because he had decided not to take her blood.
So what he just said was false.
But she still wanted to use that invisible knife to cut him open. She lowered her sleeves and continued to ask, "So you don't need my blood. Why do you want me to stay with you?"
Xie Chengjin was really about to be driven crazy.
She insisted on forcing him to give an answer, and he was forced to think about these questions: why, why?
Why else?!
All those avoided, dark, twisted, and shameful thoughts were exposed, and he himself could no longer avoid them. They were clearly torn out from his flesh and blood and placed in front of him, because he was a hypocrite, he was sanctimonious, he paid excessive attention to her, he was watching her, he would dream about her, he wanted to catch her and control her, he wanted to know her whereabouts at all times, and he broke the rules again and again.
He is wrong.
He is not normal.
She had discovered it a long time ago.
At this moment, the man who had already noticed his abnormality was still asking gently: "Brother, please speak. Why?"
No.
He is not abnormal.
Didn't she call him brother? Isn't that what a brother should do? Other brothers keep their distance from their sisters because their parents are still alive. The Xie family is huge, but in his lineage, his parents are gone, leaving him alone. What's wrong with him looking after her, keeping an eye on her, being considerate? Doesn't he always keep an eye on her? Doesn't he always notice her in a crowd?
Xie Chengjin felt like he was a little crazy, and in a trance, he was thinking hard.
At first, he didn't want him to bring shame to the family, so he kept an extra eye on her. He found out that she was not living well. He didn't want to treat her harshly, but he didn't care about other people's affairs before and didn't ask about them. He felt a little guilty after knowing it. And as he interacted with her more and more, he developed some feelings for her. Isn't this normal?
I want to keep her, I don't want her to marry someone like Li Xun, I don't want to take her blood anymore, I always want to know what she is doing...
As an older brother, he feels guilty towards her and has the responsibility to discipline her. Isn't it normal for him to have these thoughts?
Xie Chengjin deliberately ignored those beautiful dreams and the marriage sign, and then seemed to find a reasonable excuse.
He looked at her face, which was close and enlarged.
After a long while, he finally stared at her without moving his eyes away: "I just really treat you as my sister."
*
Xie Chengjin said that he really treated her as his sister.
He developed a little affection for her and treated her as his own sister.
Xie Yanyu remained silent.
After looking at him for a while, she didn't become aggressive anymore because this was enough for her.
She tested him, not to test his feelings for her, but just to force him to admit that he had feelings for her. No matter what kind of feelings they were, they could tie him up with a rope and control him to do things for her when necessary.
He admitted it, and she decided to stop while she was ahead and not to ask any more questions.
Then the air became quiet again.
After a while.
Xie Chengjin raised his hand and wanted to turn over the upside-down lot in front of her.
He raised the clean hand, while the bleeding hand was still clenched into a fist and hidden under the table. But just as his fingertips touched the stick, before he could turn it over, Xie Yanyu suddenly pressed his fingertips.
The temperature of her fingers was cold, and in a sense, she was similar to him, with a low body temperature.
But the fingertips just pressed against his hand.
Xie Chengjin had a momentary illusion, as if he was scalded.
Then she heard her say, "This lot is also very auspicious. Brother, there's no need to turn it over. I just want to ask you, this is very auspicious, do you approve of this marriage?"
She spoke nonchalantly, as if she didn't care even if he didn't nod. She wouldn't obey anyway, and she asked just to give him face.
And I can't tell whether it's true or false.
Logically speaking, Xie Chengjin should open her hand and look at the lot himself.
But the skin where her fingertips were pressed was burning.
His hands seemed to be nailed shut, and for some unknown reason, he stopped moving.
It seemed that if he insisted on seeing her, his feelings for her would go beyond the scope of family affection. If he continued to disagree with this marriage, he would have something to hide and be selfish, wanting to cross that obvious red line. Even if he doubted her words, it would seem that he had impure intentions.
So he avoided it for the first time, and after a while, he pulled his hand away: "Hmm."
"Um what?"
"...Yes." Xie Chengjin squeezed out the word as if from his teeth.
Xie Yanyu signed for it and took it back.
The fortune was clearly bad, but she said it was good, and there was no unnatural look of lying on her face.
Putting the fortune sticks back into her sleeve, she continued, "Brother, you came here for my marriage, so you should have brought my fortune disc with you. Li Xun will send someone to deliver the gift to Xie's house, but please give me the fortune disc here."
Xie Chengjin said: "I didn't bring it."
But when he raised his eyes, he met Xie Yanyu's gaze again, as if he was probing and examining her, as if he suspected that he had deliberately not brought her here.
He paused, then said distractedly, "I'll have someone send it over."
Xie Yanyu hummed, "Then please send one more thing over."
Xie Chengjin: "Hmm?"
Xie Yanyu said slowly: "Zheling ruler."
The Zheling Ruler is a fragment of an immortal weapon that fell into the human world. In the human world, it can be regarded as a treasure.
It is not an offensive magic weapon, but it has many uses. One of its uses is to activate the operation of certain magic weapons.
In the original plot,
Demon Lord Chen Lang traveled to the secret realm of Shangqing Immortal Palace and retrieved a magical instrument capable of completely shattering the barrier between the human and demon realms, but he didn't know how to use it. Xie Yanyu, a member of Shangqing Immortal Palace, knew how to use the artifact and told him that to activate it, he'd need the Zheling Ruler.
But the Zheling ruler is in the Xie family.
The Xie family hid the Zheling Ruler in a formation and kept it under strict guard. Although the Xie family knew where the formation was, they could not touch it. Only a few powerful people in the family could actually touch the Zheling Ruler, such as Xie Chengjin.
So in the original plot, Xie Yanyu told the Demon Lord the location of the formation, and later the Demon Lord entered the Xie family, broke the formation, and took the Zheling Ruler. Xie Chengjin also learned that she had defected to the Demon Lord and sold the information about the Zheling Ruler.
Right now, Xie Yanyu needs the Zheling Ruler because of the jade token.
Li Xun has already translated the contents of the Li family's secret method.
He didn't know what happened. When he translated the Li family's secret method before, he had to refer to the ancient books word by word, and it took him half a day to translate just one sentence. But suddenly, he translated the whole text.
She had previously thought that he had called her to discuss breaking off the engagement, but it turned out that he not only said that they wanted to get married quickly, but also told her about the Li family's secret method.
She therefore learned that in order to activate this jade token, the Zheling Ruler was also required.
She needs it.
She wanted to create a new spiritual root for herself.
So at this time, she looked at Xie Chengjin again.
Hearing that she wanted to break the spiritual ruler, Xie Chengjin was silent for a moment.
She added, "I want to use it for a while and return it after I'm done."
Even Xie Chengjin could only touch the Zheling Ruler and knew how to open the formation, but he had no right to use it. This was a rule strictly enforced by the Xie family. Even if he dared to touch this treasure privately and was discovered, he would be in a miserable state. All the power in his hands might be taken away, or he might be beaten by the family rules and unable to get out of bed.
Xie Yanyu didn't know how to deal with him.
But she probably knew that being discovered would be a big deal, because if an ordinary young person from the Xie family dared to do this, he would have his spiritual roots removed and be kicked out of the family.
But even though she knew it, she still looked at him and coaxed him softly:
"I really need it. I'll only use it for a moment, and no one will notice. Since my brother really treats me as his own sister, why wouldn't he break a little bit of the rules and get it for me?"
