Chapter 154 He is... Who?
Xie Yanyu was in a carriage.
Even if she used a teleportation array, this type of array has limited effectiveness and cannot teleport her too far.
So at that time, she calculated the distance and teleported herself to the outskirts of the city.
Helan Wei prepared a carriage waiting for her on the outskirts of the city, and Li Xun also came to pick her up. After she was teleported to the outskirts of the city, she got on the carriage directly.
Now the carriage is heading towards Helan's house.
Because of the use of the shrinking technique, the carriage was moving very fast.
We are almost reaching the Helan family’s territory.
But Xie Yanyu had no time to care about these.
She felt very unwell, and had a feeling that her soul was being pulled——
It was a very painful feeling, as if all the limbs were nailed down, and even moving the arms was difficult.
It seemed as if there was a spiritual power that bound her across space, making her feel like she was trapped in a large cocoon. She even had difficulty breathing and felt an unrelieved stuffiness. Her body was sweating profusely, and her clothes became a little damp.
She couldn't even sit still.
Therefore, Helan Wei just picked her up and pressed her to sit on his lap.
He placed his hand on her shoulder and gave her spiritual energy: "Feeling better?"
Xie Yanyu didn't say anything.
It was so painful that she didn't want to talk. She just lowered her head slightly, resting it on his shoulder, breathing rapidly.
Helan Wei stopped asking and gave her some more spiritual power.
Li Xun watched from the side.
Seeing her sweating profusely and continuously, the more I watched, the more annoyed I became.
Then he simply took out a folding fan, sat next to her, and started fanning her.
While fanning himself, he threw a handkerchief to Helan Wei and said impatiently, "Can't you see she's sweating? What are you doing with your hand there? Can't you help her wipe the sweat off? How can she feel good if she's all wet?"
Helan Wei paused.
I couldn't see with my eyes, and even with the Mingxin Talisman, I could only see Li Xun's outline.
He tilted his head to the side and said slowly: "Who is the main reason for her being like this now?"
Everyone knows that the reason she is feeling so miserable now is because her life disc is in the hands of the Xie family.
If she took the Zheling Ruler, the Xie family would definitely try to capture her. Besides seeking help from other families, they would also try to control her with the Life Disc. Xie Yanyu had thought of this earlier, so he asked Li Xun to find a way to find the Xie family genealogy and remove her name from it.
If you don't want to be controlled by the Xie family, you must remove your name from the family tree.
Although the Xie family was using the Fate Disc to control her, it was merely a container for her aura. They were able to control her because a trace of her spirit resided within the Xie family genealogy. The soul to which the Fate Disc was linked was the very spirit that had been embedded in the Xie family genealogy and remained within the Xie family.
Even if you take the horoscope disc and destroy it, it will be useless.
Her name is in the family tree, and the Xie family can make a new fortune disc at any time and continue to control her.
The only way to do this is to find the family tree and erase her name.
But the Xie family genealogy is not easy to find.
Xie Yanyu also didn't know where the thing was. She only saw the elders of the clan ask for the family tree during a few ancestor worship ceremonies. It seemed that only a cultivator above the Nascent Soul stage could use magic to obtain it. She didn't have the Nascent Soul stage in her cultivation, so she asked Li Xun to try and find it.
But until she got the Zheling Ruler, Li Xun still didn't find anything.
At this time,
Helan Wei commented slowly, "You can't even do such a small thing. You're such a loser, I'm really glad I let you get on board."
His tone was gentle, but his words were not very pleasant. However, seeing Xie Yanyu's painful expression, he finally picked up the handkerchief thrown by Li Xun and wiped the sweat off her face.
In a magnificent carriage.
A person was wiping Xie Yanyu's sweat and transferring spiritual energy to him;
Another person sat next to her, fanning her and pouring cold tea into her mouth.
Helan Wei started gesturing again: "Did you add salt to the tea? She likes it with salt."
I learned this from Shen Lang.
He had never put it into practice, but that didn't stop him from telling Li Xun about it now, making it seem as if he was particularly close to her and knew her preferences very well.
Li Xun's face was gloomy, and he sneered: "You don't need to tell me, I have known her since we were young, I know her best, how could I not know what she likes?"
Helan Wei didn't say anything.
Both of them looked unhappy, as if they wanted to kill each other.
But the movements were coordinated surprisingly well.
Li Xun fed the tea to Xie Yanyu with a dark face.
Helan Wei had a gloomy face and used a handkerchief to wipe her mouth.
Xie Yanyu was in extreme pain.
She fought against the feeling of being pulled and restrained in her body, but also noticed what Helan Wei and Li Xun did for her.
She was a little surprised——
She thought that Li Xun and Helan Wei would get together and cause trouble again.
It made her already aching head hurt even more.
After all, they are two people who want to kill each other.
The first few times they met, he either pinned the other person to the ground, pulled his hair and slapped his face, or beat him up and sold him to a brothel. At first, she didn't think that Li Xun would do such a thing. It would be so embarrassing to sell someone together with Shen Lang, but later she gradually came to her senses. Even if Li Xun didn't say it, she could guess it.
But at this time.
The atmosphere was so tense, but for the first time they didn't fight, but sat here together peacefully.
They just scoffed at each other twice and soon stopped talking. The harmony was surprisingly harmonious.
Xie Yanyu took another sip of tea from Li Xun's hand.
She was about to speak.
But at this moment, she felt a sense of being watched.
As if realizing something.
The next moment, she closed her eyes, and then she heard Xie Chengjin's voice in her mind: "Don't want to come back?"
I don't know why he suddenly woke up.
But at this moment, he must be holding her life disc and talking to her.
Asking her this question is like asking her what she wants.
But he already has her life disc. Doesn’t the Xie family elder want him to force her back?
Xie Yanyu had a terrible headache and responded to him in his heart: "Yeah."
She said, "I'm going to use the Zheling Ruler. Once I use it up this time, this treasure will be useless. I won't be coming back."
The words fell.
She heard Xie Chengjin say again: "The elders handed your life disc to me and asked for the family tree to let you come back."
Even with her eyes closed, she couldn't see Xie Chengjin's appearance.
Everything in front of her eyes was dark, and her mind was also dark, without any images.
The other party's tone was very flat, as always. She didn't know what his expression was now. It was probably the same as before, expressionless.
But she knew that Xie Chengjin could see her because he had her life disc in his hand.
I can see how painful she is at this moment.
When she decided to get the Zheling Ruler herself, she had anticipated the current situation. Her solution was not perfect, and even had an element of gambling, which was to let Li Xun look for the family tree.
She wasn't like this before.
If her former self were to judge, she would think that her current behavior is impulsive and reckless. In the past, she would plan over and over in her mind until the plan was foolproof before executing it.
But now she is not even afraid of death, so why should she be afraid of being reckless?
If she didn't seize this opportunity and waited until the Zheling Ruler was immobilized again, she didn't know how long she would have to wait and what method she would have to use to get it again.
She only had four years.
Not long or long.
There are more than a thousand days and nights, and there are many variables. You never know what will happen in the future, so every moment you can capture is precious.
She didn't have many chips in her hand at the moment, even her life disc was in Xie Chengjin's hands.
She hadn't thought about how to deal with this situation beforehand, nor did she know what would happen next, but...
“Then you try it.
"See if you can force me to come back, see if I can break free from this control."
*
It's a very expected answer.
Xie Chengjin actually had a feeling that it was as he expected, because he knew that she was not someone who would give in so easily.
He held the communication talisman in his hand and raised his eyes.
He rarely showed such an expression. He looked somewhat happy, like a very faint smile.
Even the slightest expression seemed to come alive on his face.
The elders around couldn't hear the conversation between her and Xie Yanyu, and when they saw him like this, they looked at each other in confusion.
What is he laughing at?
"Is she scared and ready to come back?"
--Too.
It is understandable that she is afraid. After all, she is just an adopted daughter, not a powerful person. How can she escape?
Begging for mercy is the norm and normal.
An elder laughed and said, "That's right. When we took the Zheling Ruler, I guess we didn't expect that her name is still in the family tree, and the life disc is in our hands. Want to run away? That's not that easy..."
But this is not the end of the words,
The next second,
Then I heard Xie Chengjin say: "No. She is not planning to come back."
As the words fell,
The elder's remaining words were stuck in his throat. He had just sworn that she was scared, but now it was like being slapped in the face: "What's so funny about this? Don't let this rebellious girl come back!"
You can tell that the elder is a little angry and embarrassed.
Although Xie Yanyu and Xie Chengjin were communicating in their minds, she could hear more than just the sounds Xie Chengjin made when he transmitted messages to her. She could hear everything he said. She couldn't breathe, but she felt very happy, especially happy.
So she pulled her lips with effort.
Then,
She gasped, gripping the Zheling Ruler, wondering if she should try something now. Using the Zheling Ruler with the Jade Plate, she could either rip the system out of her soul, or she could take some of her own soul, completely severing it from the tiny bit of spirit in the family tree, making it impossible for the Xie family to force her any further.
Thinking of this, she raised her hand with all her strength, wanting to pull Li Xun's sleeve and ask him to give her the jade token.
But at this moment,
She suddenly heard the Xie family elder say again:
"Xiao Jin, don't you know how to deal with people who steal and damage treasures in your home?
"You yourself suffered this kind of punishment back then. You should know exactly how to force her to come back now. Why are you still standing there?"
...Has Xie Chengjin ever been punished like this?
What?
Did he steal the Xie family's treasures? Or did he damage them?
Xie Yanyu paused, thinking of Xie Chengjin's appearance, and didn't think that a law-abiding person like him could do such a thing.
But suddenly, she remembered -
When she was in Shangqing Fairy Palace, she asked Xie Chengjin to help her get the Zheling Ruler. Xie Chengjin agreed after only a second thought.
She felt it was a little strange at the time, and the system also felt it was strange and did not fit his character.
But at the time, she didn't delve into it.
But now...
But she suddenly felt that her words and actions at that time had traces to follow.
Her thoughts drifted away as she began to recall that day. At the same time, she heard some noises coming from Xie Chengjin's side.
It wasn't Xie Chengjin's voice.
But it was the voice of the elders.
It was probably because Xie Chengjin hadn't spoken or made any movements for a long time.
The words he had just spoken to Xie Yanyu in his mind, about the elders asking him to take the life tablet and let her go, seemed like a mere recitation, a calm explanation of what had happened. In reality, his subsequent words and actions didn't seem to indicate any intention of complying with the elders' instructions.
Xie Yanyu felt a little confused.
The elders were a little angry.
Someone said, "Okay! You forgot, so I'll remind you! Back then, an evil demon stole a treasure, and you were ordered to chase it. However, you crushed the treasure to save a mortal child. When you returned, your family wanted you to reveal the whereabouts of the child so they could capture her and refine her into a magical weapon to fill the gap. You refused to tell anyone, and the result was that your parents lost both their lives! Now it's the same thing, don't you know what to do? You..."
Xie Yanyu couldn't hear the rest of the words clearly.
She thought of the dilapidated temple long ago—
The young man held her in his arms, patted her back, and said with a smile, "Alright, I crushed the things myself, and I chose to save you myself, so of course I will bear the consequences myself. Don't worry. Even if I get punished, I won't ask you for money."
And then many days later.
The man cut his palm and put it to her lips: "Drink, drink. I don't know how many days I'll be trapped here, and I can't even send a message. I finally saved you, don't die of thirst now."
She seemed to taste the sweet taste of blood again in her mouth.
It was as if lightning rolled through my brain, all my thoughts were blown away, and even my ears were roaring!
