Chapter 55: Serving the Lady is the Subordinate's Duty
The next morning.
Xie Chengjin met the attendants sent by the Xie Mansion.
This is a man with a handsome face, feminine appearance, a little too beautiful.
Xie Chengjin had already sent a message to the steward, confirming that the servant sent was the man in front of him, but for some reason, he was still looking at the servant with a condescending and cold gaze.
Shen Lang hated such a look.
He knew Xie Chengjin suspected him of being unscrupulous, and even sensed a hint of fear in his scrutinizing gaze. But what was Xie Chengjin afraid of? Was he afraid that he might harm Xie Yanyu, or that he might seduce her?
Chen Lang came here disguised as a guard, so he didn't wear a mask.
But even though he hated being stared at, he didn't disguise himself. How could he possibly use someone else's face? He knew he had a good-looking face, and if he used it to serve Xie Yanyu, she would probably look at him twice more. The mere thought of her gaze falling on him made him so excited that his soul almost spasmed.
But even so,
At this moment, he had to suppress his extreme excitement, lowered his head slightly, and let Xie Chengjin look at him with a calm expression.
But he really hated people looking at his face, so he spoke up, using the tone of a guard, asking, "Is there something special about me that warrants your constant staring at me?"
Chen Lang was not afraid of Xie Chengjin's suspicion.
Now that the seal on the demon world has loosened, he no longer needs to hide his cultivation to come to the human world. Last night, he went to the Xie family and crossed the demon-killing formation that he had never been able to cross when he had hidden his cultivation before. After entering the Xie family, he tampered with the memory of the Xie family's steward, making the steward think that he was a servant of the Xie family and was sent here.
The Xie family has many servants.
To the masters, most servants were just symbols on a roster, insignificant and no different from the flowers, plants and stones in the yard. No one would pay attention to their names or faces. As long as the steward said that he was a servant of the Xie family, there would be no evidence to prove it.
Even if Xie Chengjin dissected him with his eyes, he would not find any evidence.
If we want to send him back now and replace him with someone else, it will be too late.
After a while,
Xie Chengjin finally withdrew his gaze.
He asked coldly, "Do you know what we are doing here?"
Shen Lang lowered his eyebrows and his expression could not be seen clearly: "Serve the young lady, serve the young lady."
Xie Chengjin looked at him again.
He always felt that something was not right with what the servant said.
But if you think about it carefully, the servant's tone and attitude were very calm. As a servant, the duty is to serve the master, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Xie Chengjin felt a little suspicious.
But this situation shouldn't exist.
He resisted a little, forcing himself to stop thinking. After a while, he hummed, "Take good care of her."
As soon as these words fell,
He saw Shen Lang raise his head and smile in an impeccable manner: "Of course."
Xie Chengjin's temples were throbbing, and he still felt something was wrong, as if he had swallowed a ball of sour cotton.
He suppressed the feeling.
After a while, he looked at the servant coldly and left without saying a word.

It was only after Xie Yanyu had packed up and was about to leave that he found out that Xie Chengjin and Helan Wei had gone to the sealed place in the demon world first.
But she knew that Xie Chengjin's move was not a change of heart and he was not going to take her with him.
Because he left a coachman and a servant for her, and arranged for her and the servant to ride in the same carriage together.
Xie Yanyu was a little confused.
The carriage was clearly big enough for three people, and they had come here from Yuan's house in groups of three. Why did they have to split up into two groups now? Did they not believe her and wanted to separate her from Helan Wei?
But even if they were riding in the same car, with him in the car, she and Helan Wei could do nothing.
She didn't understand why he arranged it this way.
But she felt relieved not to have to ride in the same car with them, so she didn't think about it anymore.
The coachman and servants were already waiting in the carriage.
Xie Yanyu didn't waste any more time and walked directly to the side of the carriage, raised his hand and opened the door.
However, just as I opened the door halfway,
Then I heard the system exclaim in my head: [Wait, that person inside——]
Having said that, he suddenly stopped talking and there was no further talk.
Xie Yanyu:?
Xie Yanyu also became nervous after hearing its howl.
She put her hand on the car door, paused in pulling it, and asked the system: What's wrong?
The system was silent.
It looked at Chen Lang, and a guess in its mind became clearer and clearer. There was something wrong with Chen Lang. He found Xie Yanyu again and again, and his attitude towards her was almost like treating her like a dog. Could he have been reborn as well?
The system did hide the truth about Xie Yanyu and Chen Lang.
But these things did not help her complete the plot.
Its mission was to allow her to complete the storyline, and it also promised her corresponding rewards, allowing her to become an immortal in this book's world. Wasn't that enough? But she was too uncontrollable, and the system was afraid to tell her about Shen Lang. She figured out that Shen Lang might have been reborn.
In this case, she might completely deviate from the plot, or even more than that. Her ambition is too great, and she might jump out of the framework of the plot and even overturn and destroy the system.
It will never allow this to happen and cause any unnecessary complications.
At this time,
Xie Yanyu asked again: What happened?
The system finally responded: [It's nothing serious. I was startled when I saw the person in the car earlier, thinking it was a woman. Now I see clearly that it's a man, but he's a little too handsome. That's fine.]
Xie Yanyu frowned almost imperceptibly.
She could tell the system wasn't sincere, so she didn't respond. However, she raised her head slightly and "looked" at the person in the car.
She is indeed very beautiful.
This is a kind of androgynous beauty, feminine but not gloomy.
His skin is fair and gentle, like the finest pearls, he has phoenix eyes, a high nose, full lips, black hair, amber eyes, and every part of his face is soft. Even when he is wearing a black guard robe, he does not give people a sense of murderousness. His shoulders are straight and broad, and the waist belt makes his waist look thin and strong. Sitting here, he looks noble and gentle, not like a guard at all.
Xie Yanyu wanted to find something wrong with him. Although the system would not harm her for the time being, she also needed to pay more attention to any abnormalities.
She stood there and watched him.
I have to say that there are some advantages to blindfolding. After all, the silk covers her eyes, and from the outside she looks like a blind person.
Even though she had examined every inch of his face, his neck, his body, he still sat there quietly, as if he didn't realize he was being watched.
Xie Yanyu thought to himself,
How could she know that wherever she observed, Shen Lang would have the illusion of fever.
He was already so aroused that he was on the verge of convulsions. He pinched his palms tightly to prevent himself from having any inappropriate reactions and gasping for breath in pleasure. Even though he was still sitting upright, his eyes were already slightly moist/red.
When she had seen enough, he leaned forward slightly and moved closer to her.
The carriage was very high and one had to step on three or four steps of stirrups to get on. He was on top and she was below. Now he leaned over and suddenly got very close to her, and his silky black hair gently brushed across her shoulders and neck.
Xie Yanyu felt a little itchy when he was brushed.
Then she heard Shen Lang speak, and he asked her, "Miss, why don't you get in the car?"
His voice was like smooth jade, gentle and smiling: "Is it because the carriage is too high?"
He was just making excuses for her.
Xie Yanyu had just been standing below, observing him carefully, so she didn't get in the car. But it was too offensive to say this, so when she heard him ask this, she just said "hmm" perfunctorily.
As soon as the voice fell,
She heard a light laugh from above her head.
Then the next second, he grabbed her wrist.
His palm was so hot that it almost burned her when it touched her skin.
Xie Yanyu quickly tried to pull his hand back: "You..." What are you doing.
In the end, I didn't finish asking the question.
Chen Lang pulled the hand that was holding her wrist upwards, while the other hand moved downwards to her waist, as if to hold her waist. He applied a little force and said, "I will help you up."
As he spoke, he leaned over again, pressed his hands on her lower back, and lifted her up.
However, because of this position, when she was lifted into the car, the hand that was pulled up was directly pressed against his chest. Through the tight texture, it seemed as if she could touch his heartbeat. He held on tightly, probably unintentionally, but it was like pressing her hand against his chest. She felt the touch of his chest under her palm, as if -
Feels good?
Xie Yanyu realized his own thoughts belatedly.
She immediately tried to pull her hand back, but before she could move, the servant let go.
Then he straightened up naturally, as if he was not aware of her offensive thoughts.
The overly intimate behavior just now seemed like an illusion.
He sat next to her as if nothing had happened, keeping a distance from her that was neither too far nor too close, and was very polite.
Xie Yanyu: "..."
Xie Yanyu also sat down against the car wall as if nothing had happened.
But that's when,
Chen Lang looked at her again and asked in a low voice, "Miss, why are your ears a little red? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Are you feeling hot?"
Xie Yanyu:.
It was fine originally. She had no sense of shame about things between men and women. After all, how could someone who crawled out of the mud care about these things?
But he was like this—
He asked her questions gently and concernedly, as if he knew nothing, and she actually felt a very strange feeling.
Xie Yanyu pinched the hem of her skirt, turned her back to Chen Lang, raised her hand and closed the car door: "Nothing, it's probably because the weather has been hot these past two days."
Her voice was very calm, as it always was. No matter what she was thinking, her expression was very steady: "Thank you very much for just now."
Chen Lang looked at her back, his eyes filled with an almost crazy obsession.
Then he gently pulled at his collar, lowered his eyes before she turned around, and said gently and politely—
"Nothing, serving the young lady is my duty."

On the other side,
Li Xun was in a coma for almost a day and a night.
He opened his eyes weakly and found himself back in his room, with several men guarding his bed.
He felt dizzy.
Fortunately, the surging spiritual energy in his body had subsided. He relaxed, then got out of bed weakly. With a gloomy face, he asked his men, "How did I get back?"
The men said, "It was a young man wearing a mask who took you—"
At this point, the subordinates looked at each other for a while before someone bravely spoke up and finished the sentence: "We dragged you back. I've never seen anything like this before. It's like dragging a sack..."
Li Xun laughed in anger and sat down with a gloomy expression: "What an obedient dog."
That blind man's dog!
"He also asked us to bring you a message."
"What?"
"He said that the Tianjian Sect token you were carrying was taken away by that girl. With this token, they can always know your location, so you'd better stay in the inn and don't even think about running away. Wait for the girl to come back. She still has something to say to you, and after she finishes talking to you, she will give you the jade token."
This is like a threat.
When the subordinates spoke out, they were all very cautious, wondering who that girl was and how dare she threaten Li Xun.
The last person who dared to speak to Li Xun like this had been sliced into thin slices and fed to the dogs.
Sure enough,
After hearing this, Li Xun was so angry that he stood up.
He had a gloomy face, and his men all thought he was going to kill the girl and take the jade token back.
But after a long while, Li Xun finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Go, find Qingqing first."
The men knew who Qingqing was.
Qingqing is the girl with willow-leaf eyes that Li Xun has been looking for.
It is said that this girl had no name or surname and was called Qingqing, but she may have changed her name now.
But at this juncture, instead of taking the jade token back, he went to find the girl with willow-leaf eyes first. What's the logic behind this?
Someone couldn't help but ask: "Master, don't you go get the jade token first? With your cultivation level, that blind girl is no match for you——"
Having said that,
Li Xun suddenly kicked him in the butt and kicked him out the door: "You know shit! If I tell you to find someone, then do it well. Dig deep into the ground to find Qingqing and bring her to me."
If you look for that blind man again, he will die!
We still have to find Qingqing first.
Back then, he had given her a jade pendant as a token of their engagement. The jade pendant could calm the turbulent spiritual energy. When he got it back from Qingqing, he wouldn't have to worry about the blind man anymore. By then, he would definitely...
Broken into pieces!
