Chapter 142 Fighting for Love
It was already night when we returned to Xie's house.
Xie Yanyu hasn't been back for a long time.
I had assumed her yard had been uninhabited for a while and would need some cleaning before I could sleep in it. However, when I arrived at the gate and opened it, I found it was spotless. It didn't look like it had been uninhabited for a long time, as if someone had been cleaning it regularly.
Then open the bedroom door.
She found that the curtains in the room had been changed.
The position of the desk has also changed, and there is even a small table next to it.
"Has anyone come to my place while I'm away?"
Xie Yanyu asked the attendant behind him.
She had just returned home, and Xie Chengjin's attendant had escorted her back. After she finished speaking, the attendant behind her didn't immediately respond. She opened her wardrobe again and discovered that several pieces of clothing were missing. They were all relatively close-fitting clothes, such as underwear.
Confused, she turned back to look at the attendants.
Then someone mumbled, "While you were away, the young master had several bouts of poison. Perhaps, he relied on your blood for years to survive, so after you left, the young master couldn't bear it alone..."
Before she left, Xie Chengjin also had an attack of the poison.
That time, he didn't take her blood, so whether he could endure or not had nothing to do with whether she left or not.
Xie Yanyu felt that the attendant's words were a bit far-fetched.
But she continued to ask: "And then?"
"Then," the attendant thought for a moment, then said, "Then, perhaps he needed to keep something with your scent close to him to alleviate the pain. At first, he asked his subordinates to bring your clothes over. Later, he would occasionally stay here..."
The attendant could not say anything else after this.
Xie Yanyu didn't ask any further questions.
She looked thoughtfully at the furnishings in the room, then said nothing and waved her hand for the servants to leave.
After the servants left.
She took out the vessel containing blood again and took a look inside.
The blood inside was absorbed by the Heart Demon Mirror and became less.
I don’t know how long this mirror will take to absorb blood before it takes effect.
She thought of what happened just now again -
Just now in the carriage, she asked Helan Wei this question.
However, Helan Wei did not answer and mentioned to her what she had promised before.
However, Xie Chengjin interrupted and the topic was dropped. No one spoke again until the carriage arrived at Xie's house.
But it was time to get off the bus.
Helan Wei suddenly turned around, perhaps because he was blind, he rarely showed a bit of vulnerability.
Although he turned his head in her direction, his eyes were half-lidded, as if trying to hide his lifeless pupils. He said to her in a very calm tone, "I don't know exactly how long it will take to soak in blood for it to take effect, but if you place it in a place with abundant spiritual energy, it can speed up the process."
That’s all.
He left without mentioning her previous promise.
Xie Yanyu felt a little strange.
If it were before, he would probably haunt her like a ghost, asking her to fulfill her promise. Even if he was calm, his calmness would not last long. He would soon start crying again, staring at her with his dark eyes, and going hysterical.
She thought of the Tianyun Secret Realm.
Before he went to help her get the mirror, he hugged her and threatened to jump into the lake created by the Heart Demon Mirror together. She pushed him down, and he clung to her hysterically, biting her lips and looking at her with his dark eyes. He continued to threaten her in a cold and sticky tone during the kiss, saying that if she still didn't love him after he got the mirror, he would die with her.
But today is unusually quiet.
Not crazy.
Very rare.
But this is also a good thing for her.
She didn't like him going crazy in front of her for no reason, and it was best if he didn't go crazy now.
So she didn't think about it anymore.
The next morning.
After Xie Yanyu got up, he opened the lid of the vessel.
Then he saw the mirror lying quietly in the vessel, and all the blood in the vessel had been absorbed, not a drop left.
Xie Chengjin is going to be bled again.
besides.
Xie Yanyu thought again of what Helan Wei said yesterday.
The place where the Xie family has the most spiritual power is the Xie family’s treasure house.
There are many ownerless treasures in the world that are stored in the Xie family. They are stored in the Great Treasure Pavilion. There is a maze outside to bless and conceal it. Ordinary people cannot find the specific location of the Great Treasure Pavilion at all. Only some elders of the clan, such as Xie Chengjin, who are the real people in power in the Xie family, know the location of the Great Treasure Pavilion.
The spiritual power emitted by these treasures alone is enough to fill the place where the treasures are stored with spiritual power.
Even looking across the entire Tiandu, there is no place with more abundant spiritual power than the Xie family's treasure house.
She looked in the mirror.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to go find Xie Chengjin now.
It would be better to let Xie Chengjin put the mirror in the Treasure House, and then go to the Treasure House to pour a basin of blood every day.
*
It rained this morning.
Just after the hour of Mao, Helan Wei went to the elder of the Xie family and asked him to remove the forbidden spell from his body.
But the forbidden spell is difficult to break and it will take several days to completely break it.
When we left the clan elder's place, it was already three quarters past noon.
The rain had stopped, but the ground was slippery. The forbidden spell on his body was half-removed, and his magic power had not yet recovered. Helan Wei could not draw the Mingxin Talisman, so his eyes naturally could not see. But even so, his steps were still very steady. If others saw him, they would not be able to tell that he was blind.
Last night, after he arrived at Xie's house,
Xie Chengjin sent a message to the Helan family and called Helan Wei's attendants over.
In just a few hours, the attendants arrived at the Xie family's residence. Now, following behind Helan Wei, they cautiously advised, "Young Master, please walk slower."
Helan Wei tilted his head slightly: "Why, I'm blind, so you're afraid I'll fall?"
The attendant indeed thought so in his heart.
But I couldn't figure out what he meant, and I was afraid he was unhappy, so I didn't dare to answer.
After a while, he was heard asking an irrelevant question: "Where is Xie Yanyu now?"
The attendant said, "I heard he just went to see Master Xie."
Helan let out a cry of relief.
The attendant didn't know why he asked this.
Last night, the Helan family's servants arrived, and before they had even sat down, Helan Wei had already sent two people to keep an eye on Xie Yanyu. Helan Wei spent the entire night questioning Xie Yanyu's whereabouts, and the servants would send him a message every hour, reporting on Xie Yanyu's movements.
But Helan Wei always asked casually.
After being asked, he simply responded and then went on with his business.
The attendant thought he was just asking casually.
However, not long after,
He saw that his blind son asked the servants of the Xie family to lead the way to Xie Chengjin.
*
Because the eyes can't see.
Helan Wei walked to the gate of Xie Chengjin's yard, but was unable to see what was happening inside.
I could only hear Xie Yanyu talking to Xie Chengjin in a house not far away through hearing.
She must have just arrived.
Judging from the footsteps, she was walking towards Xie Chengjin.
After a while, he seemed to stand in front of Xie Chengjin, and then began to speak to Xie Chengjin.
She should have come to find Xie Chengjin with the blood vessel and the Heart Demon Mirror, because Helan Wei heard the sound of the vessel being placed on the table, which was light but crisp.
Then he heard Xie Yanyu asking Xie Chengjin to sacrifice his blood. Xie Chengjin's tone was not very good and cold, but he still agreed.
Helan Wei knew.
Xie Chengjin doesn't like incense, nor does he like the stuffy feeling in the room, so he always keeps the windows open when he is in the room.
So he said directly to the attendant: "Tell me what happened in the room."
The servants were all dumbfounded.
I didn't expect that the young master was blind and had a voyeuristic habit.
He paused before saying, "Mr. Xie stretched out his hand in front of Miss Xie, then stopped moving. Miss Xie then grabbed Mr. Xie's wrist and lifted his sleeve."
The attendant said as he looked to the side.
Then I saw Helan Wei's face become a little gloomy.
But he didn't call for a halt, and the attendant didn't dare to stop, so he continued, "Miss Xie picked up a knife and cut Mr. Xie's wrist, and then bled him out."
Helan Wei responded.
Then I heard a sound coming from the house again.
Xie Yanyu seemed to put something on the table again and said to Xie Chengjin, "This is for my brother."
Helan Wei asked, "What did she put in there?"
Servant: "Ointment."
Helan Wei asked: "Where should it be placed?"
The servant was sweating profusely.
I didn't expect that the young master would peek into so much detail, even wanting to know where a box of ointment was placed.
He didn't understand, and even felt a little sneaky, which put him under a lot of psychological pressure, but he finally described the location of the ointment truthfully.
*
It takes some time to drain a basin of blood.
Because you put too much, sometimes one cut is not enough and you have to cut again.
The wound from yesterday had not healed yet, and today he was stabbed two or three times more. Xie Yanyu felt that if he bled for a few more days, it would be as much as the amount she had bled him for in the past few years.
If the knife didn't cut her, she wouldn't feel any pain, but she secretly glanced at Xie Chengjin's face -
Even paler.
The man lowered his eyes to look at the wound, his eyebrows and features were as black as ink, and his face was almost transparent due to excessive blood loss.
Even a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage cannot withstand such bleeding.
Xie Yanyu was worried that he would bleed to death before the mirror took effect.
So when she came, she brought him some ointments and some nourishing pills. She used to give him some of these after bleeding him to reduce the damage to his body.
Everything was placed on the table next to me.
After she finished bleeding him, she placed the Heart Demon Mirror in front of him and told him about putting the items into the Great Treasure Pavilion. Then she said, "Brother, I brought some medicine. Remember to use it."
Xie Chengjin glanced at her and said, "Yeah."
Xie Yanyu bowed.
When I was about to leave, I heard him say, "You brought the medicine here, but you won't help me apply it?"
Xie Yanyu paused.
Glancing at the bleeding wound on his arm, she thought it was just a matter of convenience.
So she nodded and went to the table to get the medicine.
However, it was at this time.
There was a sound of footsteps outside, and then a servant was seen leading Helan Wei over.
The man walked quite fast, but he was probably not very familiar with the furnishings in the room, so he would occasionally reach out to explore. His voice was calm, "Thank you, brother, I..."
The words were not finished.
Passing by the table where the ointment was placed, he seemed to move his hand and flick his sleeves accidentally.
The next second——
“Bang!”
A crisp sound was heard.
Xie Chengjin suddenly raised his eyes.
He saw that all the ointments and pills Xie Yanyu gave him were smashed to pieces.
Look at Helan Wei again.
The other party seemed a little confused, lowered his head, and "looked" towards the direction where the sound came from.
But because he was blind, he kept his eyes open and "looked" for a long time, as if he just remembered that he could no longer see. Although he did not show a pitiful expression, he still looked very casual and arrogant, but it was precisely this confusion that made him seem a little pitiful.
But then.
The other person raised his head and faced him again, revealing a very elegant smile: "Thank you for your forgiveness, brother. I can't see. Did I break something of yours?"
Xie Chengjin's face was extremely cold.
The attendant stood at the back, taking in the whole situation, his eyes turning black and dark.
In the strange atmosphere of the room, he finally realized it belatedly—
So the reason why Young Master wanted to know the location of the ointment was because of this...
So strange...
Why is it a bit like... like what? The attendant thought of Helan Mingci's harem. In Helan Mingci's harem, a group of people fought for favor, just like that.
Is it that so?
Wasn't it just that Miss Xie gave Master Xie a box of ointment and a bottle of pills? Master Xie had paid for it with his own blood. There were so many cuts on his arm, so deep, he had poured a whole basin of blood into it. He just wanted Miss Xie to help bandage them.
Sir, can't you even bear to see this?
Wait a moment.
Their young master was always the most arrogant and always disdained such actions, because only humble people would scheme against each other and fight for such a small amount of power. How could the young master do such a thing?
And where on earth did he learn to do this?!
The servant wanted to pinch Ren Zhong.
