But now, Zhongli Ye's appearance made him feel an urgent sense of crisis. After all, several years ago, Yan Zhu and this man were at the stage of discussing marriage. Moreover, in the broken mirror created by the Jingyuan ghost, the dagger that Yan Zhu stabbed into Zhongli Ye's chest was fierce and fast, full of hatred. If there was no love, how could there be such endless hatred...
At this moment, Qingxuan's eyebrows and eyes were deep and dark, as if he was a thousand-year-old cold pond, and at the same time, there was an undercurrent surging at the bottom of the pond, as if something was constantly surging.
Until a dark light flashed in the man's pupils, revealing determination, as if something was broken and no longer bound the man.
He didn't dare to gamble.
Even if Yan Zhu promised not to be involved with Zhong Li Ye anymore, he didn't dare to gamble on the uncontrollable nature of human nature and emotions. What if?
On the other side, Qing Jian felt that he could still make amends and added three different things for Qing Xuan in Yan Zhu's heart. Dongfang Ye next to him nudged him with his elbow for the third time, and Qing Jian immediately fell silent.
"What are you doing? Let me say a few more words for Qingxuan."
Dongfang Ye pulled Qing Jian over, carrying Yan Zhu on his back, and lowered his voice, saying, "With time, love grows. Good friends become close friends, and close friends become companions. Why are you so anxious?"
Dongfang Ye then turned around and said to Yan Zhu with a smile, "It's okay. Friends are friends. This kid did something stupid before, and we really shouldn't let him off so easily. Being able to forgive him is a sign of being soft-hearted. I won't argue with him."
Wujiu transmitted a message: I didn’t expect Qingxuan’s parents to be such reasonable people.
Yanzhu: Yes, that’s right, the only thing missing is the elbow turning outward.
Yan Zhu extracted other information and looked at the two elders: "I wonder what the Black Crow Tribe's calamity is all about?"
Dongfang Ye put down his chopsticks upon hearing this, sighed, and explained, "I think Ah Zhu already knows that the Black Crow Clan has guarded the prophecy stone for generations. This prophecy stone carries the way of heaven above and shows the six realms below. After it predicted the fall of the first ancient hundreds of years ago, new prophecies appeared one after another, that is, the prophecy stone shattered and the Black Crow Clan was extinct."
Yan Zhu's expression was solemn: "Can't break the deadlock?"
Qing Jian nodded, "At that time, the strange light was so strong that no one from the Black Crow Clan survived as depicted in the prophecy stone. Even Fangcun Mountain became barren and became a desolate mountain devoid of spiritual energy.
Until Qingxuan was born with the yarrow bead, the dead end in the prophecy stone had a glimmer of life. The six realms all said that this was the chance of life given to the Xuan Ya clan by the way of heaven. Qingxuan was gifted and could reverse misfortune without backlash, but he still could not understand the difficulties of the Xuan Ya clan, so he could only work hard to ascend to the realm of gods and look for opportunities.
However, after Qingxuan ascended to heaven, the deadlock could not be broken, and the prophecy stone did not give any hint until Yanzhu gave Qingxuan the purification bead. The boy brought the purification bead to the prophecy stone, and the latter began to move, indicating that it was a woman who saved the Xuanya clan at the critical moment of life and death. However, the outline of the woman was blurred and it was unclear who she was.
It's just that Yanzhu's purification bead caused the prophecy stone to move, so I think it's more likely that it was Yanzhu."
Yanzhu paused, remembering the agreement with Qingxuan, and said, "If there's anything you need, please feel free to ask."
Dongfang Ye's eyes were filled with guilt: "Qingxuan's intention to approach you was forced."
Yan Zhu nodded: "I know, Aunt Ye, Qingxuan has already told me all this."
Qing Jian: "That brat has some sense, otherwise I would have been alone for the rest of my life. I don't understand how we could be so close to each other, but we are just friends."
Dongfang Ye nudged Qing Jian with his elbow for the fourth time, twitching his lips in warning, "Watch your words."
Yan Zhu: “…”
Dongfang Ye turned around and said with a smile, "The guest rooms have been cleaned up. Since you're here, you can stay a few more days. If Ah Zhu wants to explore Fangcun Mountain, you can let Yanzhi lead the way. Your uncle Jian and I still need to investigate the situation of the prophecy stone."
Yan Zhu hummed, "Thank you, Aunt Ye."
As dusk falls, the lights on Fangcun Mountain are dim, making the entire night look very soft and peaceful.
Yan Zhu was concentrating on meditation when a mixed voice came from outside. Besides Dongfang Ye and Qing Jian, there was also a familiar voice... It was Zhongli Ye?!
Wujiu didn’t understand: What was he doing in Fangcun Mountain?
Yan Zhu didn't understand, and her mind recalled the scene in the human world when Zhongli Ye scolded Qingxuan, a pretty boy: Come to see how Qingxuan is doing? Or point at his nose and scold the pretty boy to his face?
No blame...
Yan Zhu pushed the door open and faced the three of them. Zhong Li Ye spoke first, "A Zhu."
The word "Azhu" instantly reduced the smiles on Qing Jian and Dongfang Ye's faces to half, and they became defensive and alert.
Dongfang Ye: "Azhu, do you know this Master Zhongli?"
Qing Jian: "Mr. Zhongli, didn't you say you came to visit Qingxuan?"
"I……"
As soon as Yan Zhu opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Zhong Liye, who said the same old shocking thing, "I am Ah Zhu's fiancé."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the smiles on Dongfang Ye and the other man's faces turn into surprise, and their politeness was about to break down...
Dongfang Ye pulled Qing Jian aside.
"What nonsense?"
Yan Zhu instantly felt annoyed, but facing Zhong Li Ye's shameless entanglement, she scolded him one second, and he would put on his smiling face the next, giving people the feeling of punching cotton...
Yan Zhu hurriedly pulled Zhong Li Ye aside and asked with a frown, "Are you here to see Qing Xuan?"
Come to someone else's territory and curse them?
Zhongli Ye's thick eyebrows knitted slightly: "Why are you looking for that pretty boy? I'm here to find you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man took advantage of Yan Zhu's inattention and quickly put a jade bracelet on the woman's slender wrist.
Yan Zhu felt as if she was stung by a bee. She instinctively shook off Zhongli Ye's big hand and raised her hand to take off the jade bracelet. When she saw the red rope wrapped around the jade bracelet, she was stunned.
"This red rope..."
Why did it look more and more like the one she had given Zhongli Ye on the eve of their wedding? But didn't she lose the red string the next day after Zhongli Ye left with the demon princess?
Moreover, what about the magical power contained in the red rope?
Perhaps it was Yan Zhu's illusion, but a soft look appeared on Zhong Li Ye's fierce face. He raised his forearm and moved closer to Yan Zhu. "Yes, it's the red string that sealed our love. Look, I kept mine too."
Yan Zhu's eyes fell on the man's wrist wrapped with a red rope, and she felt that the red rope was strong and aggressive.
Zhong Liye explained: "I'm sorry, the demon world is full of eyes, I can only refine them into magical instruments, and now yours has returned to its original owner."
She said the words of refusal thousands of times, but Zhongli Ye seemed not to understand. Yan Zhu was too lazy to say anything more and just kept trying various methods to take off the jade bracelet. She felt that the jade bracelet and the red rope were very annoying.
But for some reason, this thing is like it's welded and can't be taken off at all.
Yan Zhu: "Take it away, I don't want it."
Yan Zhu's face was filled with anger, her eyes sparkling. Zhong Li Ye felt an itch in his heart. Just as he was about to reach out and caress her, he met her disgusted gaze. The man's face suddenly darkened...
——
Dongfang Ye and Qing Jian hurried towards the cave where Qing Xuan was. The latter was angry at Qing Xuan for not fighting back: "Who is he? What fiancé? Can't you see that Yan Zhu doesn't like him? And he's trying to get in front of people!
Look at them, then look at our stinky kid, why can't he live up to his potential? In the past year, he's been so close to us, with such a good opportunity, but he still has to be stubborn..."
"I thought they were here to visit Qingxuan's friends, but they turned out to be here to kidnap him..."
Dongfang Ye walked and thought, "The most important thing now is to make your son, who has a mouth as hard as a rock, speak up."
Qing Jian showed a hint of hesitation: "If behind the scenes..."
Dongfang Ye said calmly, "Who cares about the unknown behind the scenes? The present is the most important thing."
As a result, the two of them came up empty-handed, as Qingxuan was no longer on the warm jade bed.
"Where are people going?"
Qing Jian asked in confusion, while Dongfang Ye behind him seemed to be thinking about something.
——
Yan Zhu was secretly relieved to see that Dongfang Ye and the others had left at some point, so she didn't have to be too embarrassed. So even though Zhong Li Ye's face gradually became gloomy because of her rejection, she didn't feel any pressure.
"Why, is the Demon King going to take action?"
Zhongli Ye suppressed the sinister look in his eyes, stared at Yan Zhu, slowly approached, and smiled deeply: "We meet again. I didn't expect that Ah Zhu has cultivated and developed a temper. Since you don't take advantage of me..."
Yan Zhu narrowed her eyes, her face alert. She was about to raise her hand to distance herself from the man, but Zhongli Ye was faster, grabbing the woman's wrist in a flash. "Today, follow me back to the demon world to complete the bond ceremony we made many years ago."
"Are you crazy?!"
Yan Zhu's eyes were filled with disbelief. What was Zhong Li Ye thinking? He actually wanted to force himself on her and continue the previous wedding ceremony...
I'm dreaming.
Yan Zhu raised the wrist with the jade bracelet, and used a wisp of turbid air from her palm to devour Zhongli Ye's big hand that was entangled with her. Unexpectedly, the man would rather endure the pain of his skin rotting and bones gnawing than let go.
Seeing the large, visibly burnt area on the back of the man's hand, mixed with dark red blood, Yan Zhu's heart trembled. He was really risking his life.
madman.
She could only close her eyes, reluctantly holding back her anger, and mentally planned to use a delaying tactic first: "I have something else to do, so I can't go back with you now. Let's wait for a while, okay?"
Zhongli Ye seemed to be comforted: "How long?"
"I won't be gone for a long time."
Yan Zhu was wondering how long it would take when she heard Qingxuan's voice behind her. She vaguely sensed a hint of panic in the man's voice.
Yan Zhu thought, it must be an illusion, but shouldn’t he be lying on the thousand-year-old warm jade bed at this moment?
He's not acting anymore? What about behind the scenes?
The moment Qingxuan suddenly appeared, Zhongli Ye pulled Yanzhu behind him, his sharp eyes as if frost-hardened, shooting towards the other side: "You are that pretty boy, what Qingxuan?"
Qingxuan, dressed in black, still had a pale complexion. He looked a little thin after the thunder punishment, but his eyes were very warm. It reminded Yanzhu of their first acquaintance. The man was also so gentle and harmless, like a piece of fine jade.
"come over."
Qingxuan was not affected by Zhongli Ye's invisible oppression at all. He didn't even look at him. He just waved slightly at Yanzhu, and there was still a hint of weakness in the man's voice.
Yan Zhu lowered her eyes. Even in the human world, when he was disguised as Hong Le, he wasn't this weak! Could it be that he was pretending again?
She was about to take a step when Zhongli Ye grabbed her wrist tightly.
"Azhu, where are you going?" Zhongli Ye's tone was gloomy, and the air seemed to be stagnant.
Yan Zhu's mouth twitched, unable to bear it any longer: "Why are you using so much force? It hurts."
