Chapter 146 My Wife Supports Me
Xie Yanyu went downstairs.
Outside, spiritual plants flourished, the streets were bustling with people, and the afternoon light cast a shadow, creating a lively scene.
In fact, if you calculate carefully.
It hadn't been long since she last came here.
But for some reason, even though she was revisiting an old place, she still felt something different. Perhaps it was because the things weighing on her mind had become less, and she was no longer constantly thinking about how to proceed with the plot or how to please others like before.
Taking a look at the street market, she discovered that there was a teahouse here, which she had not noticed when she came here before.
Still a little thirsty.
So she crossed the street and went straight into the teahouse.
But I just ordered a pot of tea,
Then I heard a voice behind me: "Did you come here by yourself?"
It was Xie Chengjin's voice.
...Aren’t you going to catch the evil spirit?
So fast?
It hasn't been two hours since I sent him the message.
Xie Yanyu was a little surprised.
But before I could turn around, I saw the other person coming over and sitting down first.
This is a round table, and sitting directly opposite it would be too far away. According to Xie Chengjin's habit, he is used to sitting directly opposite others, but at this time, he sat on the chair next to her.
I was close enough to smell the faint scent of soapberries on him.
Xie Yanyu tilted his head and glanced at him.
Then she met his gaze.
Perhaps because he had been bleeding her for several days, he looked a little weak. Although he was not in good health on weekdays, he did not look too sick, just cold. But now, it was rare to feel a bit of sickly temperament from him.
His face was so pale that it seemed transparent, making his eyebrows and eyes look even darker.
Being looked at by him like this.
Xie Yanyu felt as if he had been showered with cold water.
Then I heard him ask, "You haven't answered me yet, did you come here by yourself?"
Xie Yanyu shook his head.
She wanted to answer him.
But I don't know why,
When Xie Chengjin saw her shaking her head, he frowned slightly, as if he didn't want such an answer. He didn't want to get it, but he still asked, and then he was unhappy after asking. Xie Chengjin fell silent. Just then, the tea was served. Seeing that she wanted to talk, he pinched the teacup with his fingertips.
He knew who she came with without her having to say anything more.
It’s nothing but Helan Wei.
But he didn't want to hear this answer from her mouth, so he simply brought the teacup to her lips and blocked her mouth: "Drink it."
This posture...
some……
strangeness.
Not to mention how cold Xie Chengjin is, he would never do such a thing on a normal day.
Just talking about the action itself, Xie Chengjin leaned towards her, leaned over and brought the teacup to her lips, his shadow covering her, his expression was indifferent, but his dark eyelashes were drooping, his gaze fixed on her.
Even though it wasn't a very private or explicit action, Xie Yanyu still felt an inexplicable sense of shame in public.
It's a bit like feeding.
It is clear that most of the time, such actions are performed by adults to children, such as feeding and giving water, which is very intimate, but when it comes to adults, even if they are nominally siblings, it seems a bit too intimate.
She was really a little shocked.
For a moment, he pursed his lips stiffly, then moved them to the edge of the teacup and actually took a sip of tea.
It's like being fed a mouthful of water.
After the tea took her sip, she came back to her senses, tilted her head, and took the teacup: "I'll drink it myself."
Xie Chengjin withdrew his hand expressionlessly.
Xie Yanyu lowered her head to sip the tea in her cup, moving her chair slightly. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the veins on the back of Xie Chengjin's hand becoming more pronounced.
Although she didn't speak to him anymore, the surroundings were still very noisy.
This is what happens in teahouses.
Even though Tiandu is full of cultivators, the essence of human beings is the same. It is very lively. There is not much difference between the teahouses of cultivators and those of ordinary people. Sometimes there is a storyteller sitting on the stage.
But that person didn't tell a story today.
The subject suddenly changed and began to talk about Li Xun.
"Yes, that's the new leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the one who is revered as the Sword Master."
If everyone else is the same.
When storytellers mentioned Li Xun, the first thing they would say was his identity, then describe his bad temper, cruelty, and capriciousness, like a mad dog, with unpredictable moods and unpredictable emotions. When he was happy, he was fine, casually tossing spirit stones and magical tools to his subordinates, and every one that slipped through his fingers made others' eyes blaze with envy. But when he was unhappy, he could be very extreme, enjoying skinning people alive and kicking even the dogs on the street.
After saying this, he briefly talked about Li Xun's past deeds, such as annihilating an entire family, annihilating an entire family, annihilating an entire family, and annihilating an entire family. He was known for his cruelty, and even the demons did not dare to invade the territory of the Tianjian Sect. This could be considered as indirectly doing a good thing.
Then the subject changed again and finally got to the point.
A few days ago, Li Xun got engaged, but was dumped on the spot during the engagement ceremony.
The other party was from the Xie family in Tiandu, a family that attaches great importance to rules. My brother couldn't bear to see my sister marrying such a person, so he took her away.
Fortunately, the Xie family has strict rules.
Under such strict rules, it is difficult for outsiders to even know what the master of the Xie family looks like.
Therefore, Xie Yanyu and Xie Chengjin sat here, and few people looked at them.
Everyone's attention was focused on the storyteller.
Xie Chengjin tilted his head to take a look.
Then I found that Xie Yanyu was also listening.
Xie Chengjin: "..."
He picked up the teapot, making a deliberate noise, and filled her cup with tea, but she didn't react much, clearly not paying attention to him. The man paused, then placed the teapot on the table, making a deliberate noise.
The storyteller is still telling.
After she and Xie Chengjin left, Li Xun's reputation was completely ruined.
He was notorious before, and now he is in disgrace because after his fiancée was rumored to have left, rumors spread everywhere. Among the rumors, some private affairs of the Tianjian Sect were also involved, but these matters were all big ones. For example, Li Xun, as the sect leader, did not do his job and did things that were detrimental to the allied sects and families.
Let’s not talk about whether the rumors are true or false.
But if the interests of the aristocratic families and the immortal sects are infringed, it is no longer a laughing matter.
However, within just a few days, the aristocratic families joined forces with several elders within the Tianjian Sect, found more evidence of Li Xun's crimes, and began to force Li Xun to step down.
“But speaking of the Sword Master, he is also a remarkable person.
"If ordinary people like us were in this position and were attacked by so many people, we would definitely try to explain. After all, no matter how powerful he is, he is alone and helpless, and he can't kill all those who oppose him.
"Hey, this madman actually just quit, showing no attachment to the position of Sect Leader. On the day when the crowds of people attacking him were at their most powerful, he simply threw away the Sect Leader's Seal. Guess what he said? He said: I don't want it anymore!"
When the storyteller got to this point, he thought Li Xun's words were interesting and straightforward, so he laughed too.
After taking a sip of tea, he continued:
"But he has made too many enemies, and this matter cannot be resolved simply by giving up his position.
"We're just casual cultivators, and the biggest world we've seen is just that. Immortal sects and aristocratic families are different. They stand higher, have seen more, and have many grudges. Li Xun has grudges against the demons and many immortal sects. What did I say before? This guy will kill anyone he doesn't like. In the past, his favorite thing to do was to wipe out entire sects and families. They all have deep blood feuds.
“After he abdicated, those who held grudges against him also joined in the siege, wanting to kill him, and their momentum was even greater.
"You don't know the grand scale of the situation back then. Well, in the end, a fight broke out. Millions of people wanted to kill him, both the righteous and the demonic. How could he resist? The martial arts he cultivated were inherently sinister, harming both himself and others. I heard that his bones are now half destroyed. According to news from the past few days, the outcome is still unknown. Right now, the Tianjian Sect is like a sea of blood!"
*
How many days has this been since we were surrounded?
Li Xun actually couldn't remember clearly. It had been a long time since he had been chased like this, and it had also been a long time since he had killed so many people.
I usually wear red clothes, and at this time I don’t know whether the red color of the clothes is red on its own or has been stained even redder by the blood.
The Tianjian Sect was a sea of blood, with countless corpses.
He remembers some people's faces, but not others.
After killing the last person in front of him, he leaned against the wall and tried his best to stabilize the spiritual energy in his body to prevent the backlash of his martial arts from being too severe.
He was accompanied by attendants in the fight.
At this time, he asked breathlessly, "Master, where are you going now? We've killed everyone around us for now, but I'm afraid we can't stay in the Tianjian Sect any longer. If you give up your position, those hypocritical people will take over the sect. Even if you go back, they will settle accounts with you."
Li Xun leaned against the wall.
He pressed his fingertips lightly against his lips and suppressed the urge to vomit blood.
Then he said: "If you don't return to the Tianjian Sect, I don't care."
The servant saw him like this and thought to himself, "What do you want?"
It’s not a rare thing now!
He said, "If we go outside, I'm afraid we won't be able to see the light of day for a day or two. When the wall falls, everyone will push it down. Even if we go outside, if someone sees us, they will hunt us down."
Now in this situation, I feel like a rat crossing the street.
He could never have imagined it before.
A stigma can drive someone this far. Sometimes, when the stigma is too strong, it's no longer just about the stigma. How could an arranged marriage turn out like this?
The servant was anxious: "Master!"
Li Xun glanced at him.
It was clearly a very serious matter, and the attendant did not expect him to chuckle, then said to him, "You are quite loyal."
The attendant became even more anxious. "Without your status as the leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and with things turning out like this, you don't even have anywhere to go. Why don't you find a place to lie low, bide your time, and take back the Heavenly Sword Sect while these people aren't paying attention? Just like back then, charge into the Heavenly Sword Sect, kill them all, and trample them all under your feet!"
He said this.
Thinking of Li Xun's attitude of revenge back then, I felt a little excited.
I thought Li Xun would also get angry, but the next second, I heard the master cough again.
It seems like I finally can't bear it anymore.
The master spat out a mouthful of blood, and then said in a lazy voice: "There's no need to go through so much trouble."
Seeing this, the servant's heart was filled with hope: "Do you have a better way?"
Li Xun nodded.
It really looks like he is planning something very well.
The servants admired him even more, believing that he would surely make a comeback like he had done in the past. After all, their master had the ability to do so. "Tell me, what is the method? You saved my life back then, and I am willing to sacrifice my life for you again. As long as you say anything, no matter what, I will do it! I will go through fire and water, no matter how hard it is..."
Regret.
Before he could finish his words, he saw Li Xun take out a communication talisman.
He thought Li Xun was going to summon the rest of his loyal attendants to discuss revenge.
But I got closer to take a look.
Next second.
His expression became indescribable.
*
The outskirts of Tiandu City.
In the teahouse.
Xie Yanyu sat below and listened.
She didn't know whether Li Xun had won or not, and she wanted to ask a question.
But the next second, someone grabbed his wrist.
At a glance, I saw that Xie Chengjin's face looked really bad.
He didn't like her like this.
This is how he listened to Li Xun's news.
He didn't know why, perhaps because she had insisted on getting engaged to Li Xun no matter what, or perhaps because of something else, but he couldn't accept her focusing on Li Xun more than Helan Wei. Seeing her trying to ask, he felt a prick in his heart, a little uncomfortable.
It would be better to go back to the inn.
So he stood up and Xie Yanyu was pulled out by him.
Then I heard him say, "Let's go."
But at this time.
The storyteller was about to finish telling the story.
News doesn't spread that fast, so the news he said was a little delayed. Although he said he had finished, it was actually the end of the story. The other party left a sentence with a very emotional tone:
"So, what will happen to this Lord Sword Master in the future?
"Well, if you want to know what happened next, I'll tell you next time I hear some other news!"
Xie Yanyu heard this.
But he didn't break free from Xie Chengjin's hand.
She let him pull her and walked out with him, and Xie Chengjin's expression became better.
But the next second.
But he felt Xie Yanyu stop.
Xie Chengjin lowered his eyes to look at her, and saw that she took out the communication talisman. The spiritual power in the communication talisman was fluctuating, and someone was sending her a message.
He glanced at the communication talisman again.
Then,
Then I saw Xie Yanyu received a message——
Li Xun: [Wife.]
Such a vulgar name again.
Not only did the other party not die, he also sent messages on his own initiative and shamelessly pestered me.
Why is it like a dog that I can’t get rid of?
Xie Chengjin continued to watch with a blank expression.
I saw another message from the other side: [I am so pitiful, I have no money and I am being hunted, please support me.]
Then he even sent a picture.
In the picture.
It is an inn with luxurious decoration and very high price. It is the property of the Xie family.
But Xie Yanyu still felt that the price for a room in this inn was too high.
However, it seems that Li Xun has successfully left the Tianjian Sect and hidden his identity outside, so no one is chasing him for the time being.
The man said, "I'll put it on your bill. I'll stay for one night. I want the most expensive room. I'll recover and then come back to see you."
Xie Yanyu: [……]
Xie Yanyu replied: [No money.]
The other party quickly sent another message: [Then put it on your brother's account.]
Xie Yanyu: [? ]
The other person's tone was sarcastic: "Doesn't your brother always use his status as the elder brother to make things difficult for you? We're all family, so why divide us into you and me? When I get here, I'll marry into your family. It's only natural that you should support me as a son-in-law. I'm fasting and won't eat, so I can just share a room with you. It's very cheap to support me. I only have one servant by my side, so I only need a servant's room."
Xie Yanyu: "..."
Xie Yanyu didn't know what to say for a moment.
But she felt the atmosphere around her was very strange.
Look up,
I saw that Xie Chengjin's expression was very interesting.
