Returning to a familiar place, the sense of security suddenly returned.
Xiao Jingyun washed up and changed his clothes. Lin Yue saw that his hair was wet, so she quickly took a handkerchief to wipe it for him.
"How are you feeling?"
Xiao Jingyun took it and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's nothing. It's just that the smell of smoke was a bit strong just now, it's gone now."
Lin Yue said, "You didn't expect him to set fire, did you?"
Xiao Jingyun nodded: "I thought he would take advantage of the night to come in and capture souls, but now it seems that he also seems to understand that he is being guarded against."
"The fire he set was like Huai Zheng's assassination; both were tests."
"What we need to do next is the real topic."
Lin Yue said: "Don't be afraid, since you have decided to be our enemy, then we should do our best to destroy him."
Xiao Jingyun held her hand and sighed softly, "I always want the days to calm down. I always want every day in the future to revolve around you."
"But now it seems that even something that seems so simple has many obstacles."
Lin Yue said: "I guess I am here to experience disasters, I am used to it."
Xiao Jingyun's breathing became heavier. He held her hand against his chest and asked, "Among these tribulations, are there any tribulations of love?"
Lin Yue pulled her hand back, looked at him and said, "What do you want to say?"
Xiao Jingyun said: "When I saw Yan Shu appear tonight, I was really worried that I wouldn't be able to protect you, and that he would have a chance to take advantage of me."
"It was because I wasn't by your side before. If it's still like this if I'm still here, I won't be able to quit even if I don't want to."
"Ayue, let me stay with you for a few more days. The life span of mortals is very short..."
Lin Yue held her forehead with her hand, she was also a mortal.
But she thought about it and found it funny, so she asked, "You mean, if I can't go back, can I still be with Yan Shu after you die?"
Xiao Jingyun choked.
That wasn't what he meant, but he still wanted to know the answer.
Then he continued to ask: "If I say yes, will you be with him?"
Lin Yue said firmly, "No. I've never thought about the question you mentioned. After all, I can live with you until we're old, so how could I still have the heart to think about other men?"
Xiao Jingyun was a little excited. The next moment he approached her and asked, "What about now? You are still young. Would you want to be with him?"
Seeing how concerned he was, Lin Yue's eyes turned red and her pupils were pitch black, which was scary.
But the curiosity in that expression is really strong.
She said, "Do you know what kind of life I want to live? But if you insist on letting me choose without any ethics or morals and without any scruples, then experiencing life here will be like a dream."
"Then I want to tell you: living a good life among the three of us is more important than anything else."
After Lin Yue finished speaking, she ran away, suppressing her laughter.
Xiao Jingyun didn't understand yet and murmured, "The three of us..."
Then he suddenly stopped, a helpless smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
She really doesn't play by the rules. What's the point of three people at this time?
I never thought of choosing Yan Shu, that is, I only considered him from beginning to end.
For some reason, Xiao Jingyun felt very satisfied, and his eyes unconsciously revealed a hint of intoxicating sweetness.
…
In the house where Yan Shu lives.
Xiaoman was still making rounds and boiling water for tea when suddenly the light above her head dimmed. She looked up and found someone was coming.
She immediately gave that person a sweet smile.
In the guest room next door, Zhang Tianshi, Yan Shu and Xiao Huaizheng were sitting together.
Yan Shu said, "I wonder what the Heavenly Master is afraid of? With your current strength, it wouldn't be difficult to kill Wang Huaiqing."
Zhang Tianshi said: "If it's just about killing him, it's certainly not difficult."
"But what I'm worried about now is that if we kill him, it will affect my disciple's fortune."
Yan Shu said: "Not really."
"I see that what you're worried about is that her merit will be depleted."
"If nothing else, Prince Jing's initiative to provoke Wang Huaiqing shows that he has no scruples."
"Some of you want to use her to cultivate, some don't want her to return to her original world, and some... want to bind her with your emotions."
"Actually, I've seen that a long time ago, but everyone has seven emotions and six desires. If you don't have them, you're not a human being."
"So I'm giving you an idea. Let's discuss what we want to do. If you're worried that killing Wang Huaiqing will affect her merit, then I'll kill her."
Xiao Huaizheng asked, "Master Yan, have you ever accumulated merits for my aunt? If you have, then the sins you commit will be hers."
Yan Shu: “…”? ? ?
Zhang Tianshi smiled awkwardly and said, "It seems to be somewhat related."
Yan Shu frowned, feeling a little unhappy.
He looked at Xiao Huaizheng and said, "No wonder you are so fearless. It turns out you already knew that you are tied to her."
Xiao Huaizheng said, "So what if I know? But my power is ultimately insignificant. A temporary restraint is not the same as a lifetime bond. If she wants to leave, I can't keep her with my own strength."
"But...do any of you want her gone?"
"Since no one wants to, and no one dares to stop it openly, then I'll be the bad guy."
"It works. As long as she hates only me, that's fine. Even if I fail, I've done my best and can die without regrets."
Zhang Tianshi and Yan Shu frowned. Xiao Huaizheng's idea... seemed a little wrong.
Just then, Xiao Jingyun arrived.
He said, "If your idea succeeds, our royal family will lose face."
Xiao Huaizheng said angrily: "The emperor's uncle just doesn't want to keep the emperor's aunt, I know that."
Xiao Jingyun said, "It's not that I don't want to stay, it's that I want to stay too much, so I can't cut off her retreat. That's her confidence, that's how she was when she came here. If you imprison her here, will she still be the Lin Yue she is now?"
"You haven't seen the former Lin Yue, but I have."
"She was a woman trapped by love, willing to confine herself to a prison. Her early death was the inevitable outcome."
"I just hope that Lin Yue is living a good life now, and that her love can protect not only the royal family but also herself. It's no wonder that such a woman was chosen by the Immortal System. No matter what the future holds, that is the brilliant life she should have lived."
Xiao Huaizheng lowered his head and said unwillingly: "When she is about to leave, you won't say that."
Xiao Jingyun did not deny it, but smiled and said, "Maybe." The light in his eyes dimmed, and the smile on the corner of his mouth looked bitter.
However, his attitude did not change at all.
No matter what, he would not let her be trapped in this world where she did not want to be like a bird with broken wings.
When the atmosphere was silent, no one noticed that Xiaoman had gone out to count the stars, and the person who boiled water and made tea in the tea room had already been replaced by Lin Yue.
