Chapter 103 Chapter 103 How Pei Zichen snatches her, he can also...
Hearing this, Pei Zichen's eyes darkened. He looked across at Shen Yuqing and calmly declared, "She is no longer my master's wife."
Shen Yuqing didn't know if he had been using the medicine for too long, but the hand holding the sword began to tremble at this moment.
Tears instantly welled up in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Get out of the way."
Pei Zicheng remained silent and motionless, standing in front of Jiang Zhaoxue like a mountain, leaving only the corner of her clothes vaguely visible from behind him, and used his eyes to quietly force Shen Yuqing to retreat.
Such a strong attitude made Shen Yuqing so anxious that he suddenly felt murderous.
But now his spiritual power was locked, and he was helpless against Pei Zichen. Even if he was able to break through the barrier of Yunfu Mountain and come in, it was only because Yunfu Mountain sensed the contract of the same mind.
But the greater the disparity in power, the less he dared to act rashly. Thus, the two of them reached a stalemate. Pei Ta silently looked at his former elder, apologetic in his eyes, and calmly advised, "Master, we have already separated, so there is no need to linger."
"Is it your turn to say that?!" Shen Yuqing suddenly collapsed and shouted angrily, "If it weren't for you, would she and I be in this situation?!"
Pei Zichen's eyelids drooped slightly when he heard this. He was respectful but showed no remorse. He only admitted his mistake and said, "Disciple knows his mistake."
"If you know you're wrong, get out of the way!"
"Disciple cannot."
“Pei…”
"Shi Cang," Jiang Zhaoxue couldn't stand the two of them arguing back and forth. She raised her hand and placed it on Pei Zichen's shoulder. Pei Zichen's movements froze slightly, and he felt Jiang Zhaoxue exerting force on his shoulder. She whispered, "Get out of the way. I'll talk to your master."
Although he knew that Jiang Zhaoxue probably just wanted to make things clear with Shen Yuqing, the moment Jiang Zhaoxue pressed his shoulder, Pei Zichen still felt a bit inappropriately gloomy.
It was probably because Jiang Zhaoxue had indulged him too much in recent days, so he got a little carried away and let out his suppressed nature. At this juncture, the first thought that came to his mind was not to give in.
He seemed to be stunned and didn't move. Jiang Zhaoxue was a little confused: "Shi Cang?"
Shen Yuqing also looked at them coldly. At that moment, Pei Zichen felt like a villain who was trying to break up a couple.
He knew that this idea was wrong, so he forced himself to come back to his senses and respectfully stepped aside like an ordinary disciple, exposing Jiang Zhaoxue to Shen Yuqing's sight.
When Shen Yuqing saw Jiang Zhaoxue, his pupils shrank slightly. This was clearly the person he wanted to see, but when he came into contact with this woman bathed in rosy light, he felt fear in his heart.
If he doesn't come, he seems to be able to stay in that relationship that has not yet ended.
Here I come, maybe this will be the last time we see each other.
He couldn't help but tighten his sword, and Jiang Zhaoxue looked him up and down.
He was not wearing his outer garment, his hair was not tied up, his spiritual power was completely gone, and his breath was disordered.
She had seen him in countless embarrassing moments throughout her life, but in the past, his embarrassment was mostly just because of winning or losing. His heart never surrendered and never retreated.
But today, she saw fear in his eyes for the first time.
She looked at the person in front of her, feeling a little speechless for a moment. Shen Yuqing seemed to realize that Jiang Zhaoxue had seen through her cowardice. She wanted to escape but couldn't leave. She stood there holding the sword. After a long time, Jiang Zhaoxue finally spoke: "Let's go inside and talk."
Shen Yuqing felt as if he had been pardoned. He didn't want to confront Jiang Zhaoxue like this in front of Pei Zichen.
The two entered the room. Pei Zichen hesitated for a moment, but still followed them. Then, like when he was young, he stopped outside the corridor.
This was the case when he accompanied Shen Yuqing to Yunfu Mountain as a teenager. The disciple had to stand guard outside the door, waiting for Shen Yuqing's orders that might appear at any time.
But don't get too close, as this shows respect and hierarchy.
Jiang Zhaoxue glanced at Pei Zichen who was standing outside, and then heard Anan say, "If you dare to close the door, you're dead."
Jiang Zhaoxue heard this and whispered to Pei Zichen, "Wait for me."
Pei Zichen's fingertips trembled, and he saw Jiang Zhaoxue close the door and set up a barrier.
Although Shen Yuqing had no spiritual power, his consciousness was still there. He sensed Jiang Zhaoxue's movements and couldn't help but feel a little hope. He looked up at Jiang Zhaoxue entering the room and saw her walk towards the room. She opened the wardrobe with familiarity, took out a coat, and said softly, "You came from Tianming Palace, right? Why don't you wear a coat? You are now the master of Lingjian Xian Pavilion. It would be embarrassing if someone saw you."
As she spoke, she put her coat on Shen Yuqing, as if she had done it countless times before.
Shen Yuqing's nose felt sore, his eyes suddenly heated up, and he spoke hoarsely: "Yaoyao..."
"This is Pei Zichen's clothes." Jiang Zhaoxue spoke. Shen Yuqing froze. He felt Jiang Zhaoxue fiddling with the clothes and tying the belt for him. He said calmly, "But I just made it. He hasn't worn it yet. He has a similar body shape to you, so no one should be able to tell."
Shen Yuqing was speechless. He clearly realized that this was Jiang Zhaoxue's silent message. He was afraid but couldn't help but look around -
This was the room he had been to countless times.
Although he and Jiang Zhaoxue have been separated for two hundred years. Even if he did not take the initiative, Jiang Zhaoxue's coercion or courtesy would have added up to an immeasurable amount over too long a period of time.
Until Jiang Zhaoxue left Lingjian Xian Pavilion, he remembered that this room was always prepared with his daily necessities.
The clothes he wore, his jade pendant, his hair crown, his cup, the brush and inkstone he liked to use, the books he liked to read...
But those are gone.
Instead, there were some unfamiliar things that were obviously other men's.
Shen Yuqing's breathing trembled slightly, and he felt something gnawing at his heart bit by bit.
Jiang Zhaoxue put the jade pendant on him, slowly withdrew her hand, looked up at the young man in front of her, and said seriously and gently: "This is the last time I will take care of you."
Shen Yuqing suddenly came back to his senses and looked at the woman in front of him in panic. She was standing not far away and smiled at him: "Today, my brother and our ancestors have burned our marriage certificate together. I will leave soon. I was thinking... Although these two hundred years have not been good, they are still my two hundred years after all, so I still want to say goodbye properly."
"Axue..."
Shen Yuqing reacted, grabbed Jiang Zhaoxue's sleeve, and said anxiously: "Listen to me..."
This time Jiang Zhaoxue did not stop him. She stood in front of him, waiting patiently and calmly, waiting for him to speak.
But after saying this, he suddenly realized that he had nothing more to say.
He had said all that was necessary to be said.
She knew about Song Qingyin's death.
She knew about Tian Yan Teng.
She knew the good things he had done for her that he had hidden from her.
She even knew about his unconditional indulgence and love for her.
She knew everything, but still chose to leave. Even if he said something again, what else could he say?
She really left.
He realized this and pinched her sleeve, as if he had fallen back into the vast ocean.
The ocean is vast and deep, but she didn't come.
He clutched her sleeve tightly, unable to utter a word.
Jiang Zhaoxue waited for a long time. Seeing that he had nothing to say, she knew the result. She sighed and said slowly, "I know why you came. I let you in today because I wanted to finally make things clear with you. During the time mirror's rewind, we all lived too fast and there are many things we still don't understand. So although I am a little nervous about you coming, being able to explain it clearly means we have a beginning and an end."
Hearing the words "end", Shen Yuqing's heart trembled. He hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, Xue, we won't have an end. Don't be impulsive."
Jiang Zhaoxue looked at him calmly with a hint of pity. Shen Yuqing's eyes were filled with pleading. He forced himself to calm down, searching for words of persuasion, and said anxiously, "Axue, we've been married for two hundred years. You've only been with him for eight years. Eight years is very short in the immortal world. You were just impulsive..."
"How many times have you said this?" Jiang Zhaoxue's eyes showed helplessness. "Haven't you lied to yourself enough? I don't love you anymore..."
"Can't love again?!"
Shen Yuqing interrupted him hastily, unable to resist asking, "You can spend eight years falling in love with someone else, but you can't fall in love with me again?!"
Jiang Zhaoxue was stunned by these words. Shen Yuqing saw this and looked at him with a hint of hope: "You loved me."
He reached out his hand tremblingly, tentatively placed it on her shoulder, and reminded her hoarsely: "You loved me, but I...I was wrong. I've been away from you for too long, and you've forgotten me. But as long as you look back, look at me again, one year is not enough for ten years, ten years are not enough for a hundred years, and a hundred years are not enough for a thousand years. You will always fall in love with me. You loved me!"
Shen Yuqing seemed to have found his backbone and said excitedly: "I know I was wrong, I can change! We can start over!"
Jiang Zhaoxue listened and slowly reacted. She silently looked at this man who was completely different from when he was young.
The appearance of an immortal will not change after he attains the Golden Elixir stage. If it does, it is only a deliberate choice.
Shen Yuqing's appearance remained forever frozen at the year they met, but after two hundred years of ups and downs, he no longer looked like a twenty-one-year-old anymore.
Jiang Zhaoxue stared at him, knowing that he would not let go unless she explained clearly.
So she thought for a long time and calmly asked, "Do you know you are wrong?"
"right……"
"Then where did you go wrong?" she continued to ask.
Shen Yuqing racked her brains, constantly looking for her own faults: "I... I shouldn't have been mean to you, I shouldn't have been cold to you, I shouldn't have distrusted you, I shouldn't have..."
"Then do you think Song Qingyin is lying?"
As soon as these words came out, Shen Yuqing froze.
Jiang Zhaoxue calmly looked at the man in front of her, who had already given her the answer with his reaction, and continued to ask, "Do you think your junior sister Song Qingyin, who said before her death that she had seen my hair accessories that day, implying that I went to pressure her to death, was lying about this matter with her life?"
"Yes..." Shen Yuqing didn't dare to respond directly and could only avoid it, "There is a misunderstanding..."
"If you don't think she's lying, and someone's life is at stake, what's wrong with what you did?"
Jiang Zhaoxue spoke calmly, as if she didn't care about what he had done.
Shen Yuqing listened stiffly, and Jiang Zhaoxue sighed.
She thought for a moment, then turned and walked to the tea table, beckoning Shen Yuqing, "Please sit down."
Shen Yuqing suppressed his fear and walked forward to watch Jiang Zhaoxue make tea for him.
Jiang Zhaoxue didn't say anything, which was a pardon for him.
He knew that every moment they moved forward was a moment less spent together.
He watched the person opposite him pour tea for her. She was no longer as sharp as she was in her youth, but had become gentler and more calm with the years.
Jiang Zhaoxue pushed the teacup in front of Shen Yuqing and said softly, "Shen Yuqing, after knowing about the Tianyan Teng incident, I am still grateful to you."
"I don't need your gratitude..."
He wants love.
But Shen Yuqing didn't dare say anything. He just listened as the person opposite him brewed more tea and said slowly, "I'm grateful, but these two hundred years have indeed passed. I understand that you and I were never separated by misunderstandings, but because we are you and me, there are misunderstandings."
"How can this not be a misunderstanding?" Shen Yuqing was indignant when she heard this. "Qingyin's death is still unclear, so how can it not be a misunderstanding between you and me?" "But if this is Pei Zichen," Jiang Zhaoxue looked up at him and said firmly, "he would believe me."
Shen Yuqing was stunned by these words. Jiang Zhaoxue continued, "He would have told me when Song Qingyin was in trouble. Even if he hadn't told me later, he would have believed me after Song Qingyin's death and would have been determined to find out the truth for me and clear my name, instead of dragging me to atone for this unknown sin."
"I don't believe it." Shen Yuqing gritted her teeth. "We are all human beings. I don't believe that if he were in my shoes, he would do better than me. Ah Xue, you are only protecting him because you like him."
Just like protecting Shen Yuqing back then.
He had experienced this kind of unconditional protection, so naturally he thought Jiang Zhaoxue was crazy.
Jiang Zhaoxue also knew what he meant and whispered, "But I defended you back then not just because I was crazy. It was because I firmly believed that the person I fell in love with was a very good person. But you are not," Jiang Zhaoxue smiled bitterly, "You don't even know who I am, and you are talking about loving me."
"I know!"
"You don't think you're wrong," Jiang Zhaoxue looked at him knowingly, "you're just afraid that I'll leave, but Heaven has already given you many chances."
"What chance did it give me?" Shen Yuqing said excitedly, "What chance did it give you and me?! If I hadn't found the Tianyan Vine back then, if my junior sister hadn't died, if it weren't for Pei Zichen, you and I would have been fine, what chance did it give me?! It was given to Pei Zichen! The artifact was given to him, and you..."
Shen Yuqing clenched his fists tightly: "If you want to go with him too, what chance do I have?"
Jiang Zhaoxue listened in silence for a moment. She looked at the person in front of her, fanning herself with her hand. After a moment's struggle, she finally said, "I remember when I first met you, when I was twenty years old. At that time, I just thought you were an upright and handsome man."
Jiang Zhaoxue suddenly mentioned the past, and Shen Yuqing was a little confused.
The softness of his youth soothed him, and he was a little at a loss for a moment.
Jiang Zhaoxue recalled the person who came to her to criticize the bullying of his sect disciples during the Sword Trial Conference. She chuckled, "You, a mere Jindan, dare to confront me and accuse me of bullying your junior brothers and sisters from Penglai. I find it quite amusing. I'll take a closer look at you and ask if you've ever thought about finding a Taoist partner. If you say you're not interested in romance, then I'll want to leave."
Shen Yuqing was stunned. He felt a little uneasy and uneasy. He couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you leave?"
"I don't know." Jiang Zhaoxue smiled. "Actually, it's not just that time. Ever since I met you, I've always felt like there's a force controlling me. It constantly amplifies my love for you, forcing me to go beyond my pride to see you time and time again. Shen Yuqing, I'm the Queen of Penglai. I'm not shameless. Since you're not interested, I'll let it go. If it weren't for that hidden power, I wouldn't have started with you."
Shen Yuqing was stunned. Jiang Zhaoxue twirled her fan and continued, "But later, as I got to know you, I really fell in love with you. I know you just look cold, but you are honest and attentive. You always take care of me. Everyone else is nice with their words, but you are the only one who, although you don't say anything, will give me everything you have."
Shen Yuqing listened, his eyes moving slightly.
He never knew that his youthful feelings were all seen by Jiang Zhaoxue.
He looked at Jiang Zhaoxue longingly. Jiang Zhaoxue turned her head to look out the window at the floating clouds and dancing cranes, and said slowly, "At that time, I loved you, so I married you regardless of everything. But after coming to Lingjian Immortal Pavilion, I didn't live well. I remember that on the day of our wedding, you moved to Luoxia Mountain. That night, I sat in this room in my wedding dress. I kept waiting, thinking that maybe you were just talking, maybe you would come back after waiting a little longer."
"Yaoyao..."
Hearing this, Shen Yuqing felt a sharp pain in his heart: "I... I just can't get over the hurdle in my heart. Qingyin died not long ago..."
"But I don't know." Jiang Zhaoxue looked up at him, as if seeking justice for her younger self, and said dazedly and gently, "What did I do wrong? It was you who promised to marry me, and I asked you to accept the promise. It was me who saved you, and it was you, the Spirit Sword Immortal, who betrothed you. I don't know anything about her kindness to me, or her death. What did I do wrong?"
Shen Yuqing was speechless, so Jiang Zhaoxue continued, "You always come to Yunfu Mountain only when the ancestors give you a word or something's going on. It's harder than climbing to heaven for me to see you. I've tried everything to please you, but you never pay attention. Everyone laughs at me, talks about me, and says I used all kinds of despicable means to force you back then. And you also question me, asking why I'd ask for a favor if you didn't like me. Shen Yuqing, I'm a human being."
Jiang Zhaoxue said, her voice slightly hoarse: "I have wanted to leave for a long time."
Shen Yuqing listened, secretly clenching his fists, and listened to Jiang Zhaoxue continue: "It's only fate that forces me here. If I hadn't entered the seventh realm, I might still be here, and then you would dig out my spiritual roots and give them to Mu Jinyue, and imprison me as a tool to suck blood from Penglai, watching you and Mu Jinyue being so affectionate..."
"impossible!"
“This is the future I see.”
Jiang Zhaoxue spoke with certainty, and Shen Yuqing looked at her in shock.
Jiang Zhaoxue spoke every word with extreme seriousness: "This is the future I saw after entering the Seventh Realm and peeking into the Heavenly Dao. And when I saw the future, I even gave you a chance. Do you know when was the last time I gave up?"
Jiang Zhaoxue said, thinking of the past, and chuckled: "I sent a message to ask you to come back, but you refused, so I used Mu Jinyue's message jade token to send a message to you, asking her to beg you to come back, and you -"
As soon as Jiang Zhaoxue said that, Shen Yuqing remembered.
That day, while he was repairing the barrier, he received a voice message from Jiang Zhaoxue. He didn't respond, fearing that Jiang Zhaoxue would see his kindness towards her. When Jiang Zhaoxue wrote him a message using Mu Jinyue's voice transmission jade token, he recognized her from her writing style, so he indirectly accepted her invitation.
"You promised."
Jiang Zhaoxue's voice rang out, and Shen Yuqing hurriedly tried to argue, but before he could open his mouth, Jiang Zhaoxue interrupted him: "It doesn't matter why you agreed. What matters is that you agreed."
"Just like you saved Mu Jinyue time and time again, did you do anything wrong? Not entirely. After all, many times, it was indeed a matter of life and death, and I had to save her for the sake of morality. But no one can endure being abandoned again and again. I've had enough. So that day, I told myself, if you promise me, maybe we can sit down and discuss the future together. If you promise Mu Jinyue, then no matter what the reason, I will give up on you."
Give up on him.
When these words came out, Shen Yuqing felt as if a sword pierced his heart.
He never thought that their ending would end with such a simple and unintentional arrogance on his part.
But he also understood that the so-called "carelessness" was due to thousands and thousands of daily occurrences.
He couldn't refute Jiang Zhaoxue's decision, only feeling a lump in his throat. Jiang Zhaoxue looked at him, gently twirling her fan: "You've already had many chances. Heaven forced me to give you countless chances. Between you and me, it was never because of others' interference, nor was it because of misunderstanding. It was because we were not suitable. From the very beginning, the two of us were forced to be together."
"But," Shen Yuqing listened, his heart tugging back and forth like a saw, his lips trembling slightly, but he still refused to speak, "You've already forced it?"
Jiang Zhaoxue frowned, and Shen Yuqing's eyes were filled with tears. She spoke with difficulty: "You made me fall in love with you, you have forced this relationship, how can you tell me now that you let go?!"
"Shen Yuqing..."
"If you can force it, why can't I?! You stay."
Shen Yuqing stood up and walked forward quickly. He knelt in front of Jiang Zhaoxue, grabbed her hand, and held it in front of him. He said anxiously, "You can do anything you want. Just stay. This time, I'll force you. I beg you. The heart contract is still with me. We will never be separated..."
"We'll be separated!"
Jiang Zhaoxue shouted impatiently, looking at him coldly: "I won't be tied to you forever, we will separate!"
Shen Yuqing was stunned by these words. He looked at Jiang Zhaoxue in disbelief: "How is that possible?"
He murmured, "That's the Heart Contract, the Heart Contract you gave me, the Penglai Secret Technique. How can we separate?"
Jiang Zhaoxue didn't want to say more, and forcefully pulled her hand out, saying, "Don't bother me anymore, let's end it here."
Jiang Zhaoxue was about to stand up when Shen Yuqing suddenly understood something and murmured, "Soul Locking Formation?"
Jiang Zhaoxue froze, and this reaction made Shen Yuqing suddenly realize something.
He looked up in disbelief, and many things flashed through his mind.
She suddenly went to Wuyue Forest. Pei Zichen had clearly dealt a fatal blow in Wuyue Forest but still survived. She suddenly followed Pei Zichen. Pei Zichen had the Heavenly Jade and various magical artifacts in his body...
The Tianji Lingyu is necessary to unlock the heart-to-heart contract.
He reacted instantly, grabbed Jiang Zhaoxue's wrist and pulled her close. He lowered his voice and asked anxiously, "Pei Zichen has a soul-locking formation on him, right? You were with him in the beginning just to break our heart-to-heart bond, right?"
"I'm not..."
"He won't forgive you!" Shen Yuqing seemed to suddenly understand and said excitedly, "You two won't be together. He will hate you..."
"Then hate me!"
Jiang Zhaoxue suddenly raised his eyes and said calmly: "Life and death are up to him, love and hate are up to him."
Now that Shen Yuqing knew about it, Jiang Zhaoxue didn't struggle. She met Shen Yuqing's gaze and said frankly with a bit of joy: "If he is willing to be with me, I will like him. If he is not willing, then I will like him with a guilty conscience."
"But he'll be useless by then!" Shen Yuqing said immediately, "The Soul Locking Array will drain all of his spiritual power and he'll be a useless person!"
"So what?"
Jiang Zhaoxue asked back, and Shen Yuqing was stunned.
He looked at the person in front of him and said without hesitation: "I like someone only because of that person. Shen Yuqing, I know, Gu Jun always told you that people need to be useful to be liked by others, but true love is not like that."
"Stop talking."
Shen Yuqing was frightened, but Jiang Zhaoxue didn't stop. She stared at Shen Yuqing and said bluntly, "When I like you, you can have nothing, you can be a mortal. I don't care who planted the Tianyan vine, I don't care who got the artifact, I don't care if he is the Pavilion Master of the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion and whether his status matches mine, and I don't care if he listens to me or not."
"Stop talking..."
"What I care about is that person. Two hundred years ago, I loved Shen Zeyuan because you were Shen Zeyuan. But now, I like Pei Zichen..."
"Stop talking!"
"Because he is Pei Zichen."
The two spoke at the same time, neither of them could suppress the other. Shen Yuqing grabbed her wrist with trembling hands, looked at the woman opposite with a look of no retreat, and listened to her declare: "Shen Yuqing, we are over. I don't owe you anything for Tianyan Vine, and I will untie the heart-to-heart contract. When we go down the mountain today, you and I will have no connection anymore." As she spoke, she raised her hand to pull his hand away, stood up, smoothed the wrinkles on her clothes, and looked down at him condescendingly.
The moment he stood up, it seemed as if two hundred years had passed between them. She looked at the man in front of her and said sincerely, "I wish you a smooth path to immortality and to find a good match."
After hearing these words, Jiang Zhaoxue felt like something had finally come to an end.
She walked around Shen Yuqing and walked out. Shen Yuqing felt her skirt flowing through his hands. He looked at the young Jiang Zhaoxue and himself.
Looking at the person who came again and again without hesitation, looking at the person who followed behind him, smiling and shouting: "Chen Zeyuan."
"Chen Zeyuan."
"Shen~Ze~Yuan~"
She was leaving, she was leaving. If she left, what would he have?
Looking back, he realized that he had been working hard for half his life just to be with her in the end. If she left, his self-esteem, his pride, the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion...what would he have left?
He has nothing left, he has nothing left.
A huge panic washed over him like the sea. He lost control of himself completely. He turned around like a madman, stumbled forward, grabbed Jiang Zhaoxue's sleeve, and said urgently, "No! No, Ah Xue, we are not over! We will not end! I was wrong. I can change anything. You can ask for anything. I will accept it."
"open!"
"I can let Pei Zichen stay."
"open!"
"I will continue to be his master!" Shen Yuqing shouted. Jiang Zhaoxue was stunned. She saw Shen Yuqing trembling and looking up. His face was pale. He grabbed her sleeve and squeezed it tightly, as if he was enduring a great humiliation. Tears flowed down his face and he said hoarsely, "Pei Zichen... Pei Zichen can stay in Yunfu Mountain. With me here, no one will suspect anything."
These words made Jiang Zhaoxue open her eyes wide in shock. Pei Zichen was stationed at Yunfu Mountain, which meant that he would be by her side every day.
"You..." Jiang Zhaoxue was shocked by these words. Looking at the completely unfamiliar Shen Yuqing in front of her, she couldn't help but ask, "What are you talking about?"
"You two can't be together," Shen Yuqing heard her echo, as if encouraged, crying while forcing herself to speak out, "But if I'm here, no one will talk about you, you can do whatever you want. What he can do, I can do too. How can he take you away?" Shen Yuqing clenched her teeth, panting softly, her body trembling, and said with difficulty and seriousness, "I can do it too."
"Are you crazy?" Jiang Zhaoxue was a little confused. When she came to her senses, she was a little scared and pulled him to comfort him, "Shen Yuqing, calm down. Life is not just about love..."
"But you're all I have!"
Shen Yuqing cried out excitedly. He held her tightly and looked at her pleadingly: "I only have you, Axue. I have waited for two hundred years, I have planned for two hundred years, I have nothing. I only have you, please don't abandon me..."
He was just one step away from reaching the end.
Atoned for the sins he wanted to atone for.
He can now go to the person he loves most without any worries.
He was just one last moment away.
"I wanted to go to Penglai with you back then," he had never been so frank before, resting his forehead against the back of her hand, sobbing softly, "I wanted to wait for Junior Sister to reach Nascent Soul stage, wait for the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion to have a successor, then I could become your attendant, and then I could go to Penglai."
"But I didn't know what to do later. I didn't know what to do...Axue, save me...I beg you...Save me, don't go...I can do it, I can do anything..."
"Shen Yuqing." Jiang Zhaoxue listened and slowly reacted. She looked at the suffering person in front of her, sighed, and spoke with pity and tenderness, "No one can save you. The only one who can save you is yourself."
Shen Yuqing froze and looked up blankly. Jiang Zhaoxue looked at his tears, lowered her eyes, took out a handkerchief, and gently wiped them for him.
"You are still the head of the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion," she told him as she wiped her hair. "It's just a relationship, you can move on. I hated you in the past, but now, I really hope that you will have a good life in the future, Shen Zeyuan."
Shen Yuqing didn't understand what she meant, so he watched Jiang Zhaoxue wipe his tears and straighten his jade crown.
"Pavilion Master Shen," she said seriously, "goodbye."
After saying that, without waiting for Shen Yuqing to react, Jiang Zhaoxue raised her hand and waved, and the door opened instantly.
Many disciples who originally served in the Tianming Palace were standing in front of the door. Jiang Zhaoxue knew at a glance that these people were alarmed by Shen Yuqing's escape and were sent by Gu Jun.
Seeing these disciples, Shen Yuqing was stunned with fear. Jiang Zhaoxue said calmly: "Master Shen has taken drugs and is unconscious. Come and help."
As he spoke, the disciples immediately responded and came in. They rushed to Shen Yuqing, confessed their crimes, and then tried to pull Shen Yuqing away.
Shen Yuqing knew they were coming and struggled desperately, but he had no spiritual power. These disciples who served the Book of Destiny were not ordinary disciples. In a short while, they broke his five fingers and let Jiang Zhaoxue leave.
Jiang Zhaoxue stepped out and listened to Shen Yuqing's roar: "No! Let me go! Let me go!"
"Axue! Don't abandon me, I was wrong, come back! Come back!"
"Jiang Zhaoxue! Jiang Zhaoxue!"
Shen Yuqing roared again and again. When he finished, Jiang Zhaoxue heard a sudden cry from behind him: "Pavilion Master, don't!"
Jiang Zhaoxue looked back in confusion and saw that Shen Yuqing had somehow broken free from his disciple, and his intact left hand was holding a dagger, which he had stabbed into his heart.
He stared at Jiang Zhaoxue, and Jiang Zhaoxue fixed her eyes on his bleeding dagger. She looked at him like a cornered beast, staring at her intently, gritting her teeth and threatening: "If you dare to leave, we will die together."
Jiang Zhaoxue didn't say anything. She looked at the blood on his hands calmly, her heart aching.
Anan immediately burst into curses: "What the hell!"
"Yaoyao."
Shen Yuqing begged hoarsely, "Come back."
Jiang Zhaoxue didn't say anything. She turned her head and looked at Pei Zichen who was standing not far away.
He stood in the sunlight, holding a jade sword in his hand, with a turbulent wave hidden in his seemingly calm eyes.
He said nothing and waited quietly for Jiang Zhaoxue.
Anan hesitated: "Master, why don't we deal with Shen Yuqing..."
"Then die."
Jiang Zhaoxue said this calmly and walked forward.
Shen Yuqing opened his eyes wide and watched Jiang Zhaoxue move forward step by step. His hands were shaking and the tip of the knife was only inches away from his heart.
As long as the needle is inserted into the heart, the covenant will take effect, and Jiang Zhaoxue will suffer and die with him.
This was something she gave him when she loved him.
It is her biggest weakness.
He held her soft spot, watching her walk towards the young man who was waiting for her in the sunshine. Jealousy, resentment and pain bit at his heart like a poisonous snake, but he could never exert any more strength.
At this moment, he was standing in Jiang Zhaoxue's room, remembering how this room was decorated with lights and colorful decorations when they got married, and remembering Jiang Zhaoxue that night, smiling and instructing him.
"Chen Zeyuan, you must take good care of yourself from now on. With our bond, if you get hurt, I will feel the pain too."
"I'm so afraid of pain."
If you are so afraid of pain, why don’t you look back?
If you are so afraid of pain, why do you want to leave?
So afraid of pain... so afraid of pain...
Why does it hurt so much?
Shen Yuqing watched Jiang Zhaoxue reach out and pull Pei Zichen away. Finally, she could no longer control herself and collapsed to the ground, completely disregarding her manners and crying loudly.
Jiang Zhaoxue pulled Pei Zichen, feeling the wetness on his palm, and jokingly looked at him, "Is it so hot out? Would our Little Daoist Pei with his Ice Spiritual Roots sweat so much?"
Hearing Jiang Zhaoxue's joke, Pei Zichen also laughed. He seemed to have gone through life and death, and said with a bit of fatigue: "Why is it? You should know."
"oh?"
Jiang Zhaoxue stopped and turned to look at him with a smile: "Master Pei's mind is as vast as the sea, how could I possibly know?"
Pei Zichen didn't say anything. He looked at Jiang Zhaoxue quietly, his eyes dark and unfathomable.
Jiang Zhaoxue felt inexplicably guilty when he looked at her, and couldn't help but ask, "You...why are you looking at me like that?"
"Yaoyao," he said, bending down slightly, looking into her eyes, and said solemnly, "This is the last time."
Jiang Zhaoxue froze and said vaguely: "What do you mean by the last time..."
"Your relationship with others," Pei Zichen raised his hand and placed it on the back of her neck, gently stroking her spine. With a gentleness that was barely perceptible, he whispered, "This is the last time."
“Tsk.”
Jiang Zhaoxue listened with some disgust, raised her hand and pushed him away with her round fan, shaking her head and said, "You are still not as generous as your master."
Pei Zichen was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask: "Generous?"
"yes."
Jiang Zhaoxue smiled and turned around, fanning herself downwards: "Your master is very generous. He can do whatever you want to rob someone."
"What's the meaning?"
Pei Zichen vaguely guessed the meaning of these words and was in disbelief. He quickly turned around and followed Jiang Zhaoxue, unable to help but ask, "What did Master say?"
"nothing."
"He...he asked you to stay in the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion. What conditions did he set?"
“Some exciting conditions.”
"Yaoyao!"
Pei Zichen pulled her back. Jiang Zhaoxue turned back with a smile, shielding her face with her round fan. She looked at the uneasy young man in front of her and listened to him say, "Master...Master's words...you...you..."
He couldn't say it out loud. When he thought about what Shen Yuqing might say, he felt a little scared.
Shen Yuqing was like a thorn in his heart, always pricking him. Jiang Zhaoxue looked at him with a smile, but seeing that he was becoming more and more uneasy, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Pei Zichen looked up blankly, and saw Jiang Zhaoxue poking his head with a round fan, then turned around and said, "Fool, let's go. I'll hold you back now that I'm out."
Jiang Zhaoxue glanced at him sideways: "That's already the answer."
Hearing this, Pei Zichen followed Jiang Zhaoxue and slowly understood the meaning of Jiang Zhaoxue's words. He knew that she should be responding to Shen Yuqing, not being moved by Shen Yuqing's suggestion, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.
He raised his eyes to look at the woman in front of him and called softly, "Lady."
Jiang Zhaoxue responded softly, "Hmm?"
"Madam... do you want anything?"
Pei Zichen spoke nervously, and Jiang Zhaoxue listened and knew that he must be happy and wanted to give her something.
Jiang Zhaoxue smiled and said casually, "I don't want anything. If you want to give me something, then go back to Penglai as soon as possible."
"What else?"
"besides?"
Jiang Zhaoxue thought for a moment, raised her hand to block the sunlight with her fan, looked into the distance, and said casually, "Then be a good person."
As she spoke, she turned to look at Pei Zichen and said with a smile, "I've already kidnapped you. If I lead you astray again, I'm afraid the heavens will not be able to bear it and will punish me."
"good."
Pei Zichen smiled. In fact, he knew Jiang Zhaoxue's preference in his heart. He smiled and lowered his head: "Disciple will be a gentleman."
"good."
"Except for the lady-in-law."
"Um?!!"
Jiang Zhaoxue turned around in shock.
Pei Zichen smiled and looked at her: "Disciple cannot lie."
“Bold!”
Jiang Zhaoxue hit him with a fan, and the two of them played and quarreled all the way down the mountain. At this time, Shen Yuqing was taken back to Tianming Hall.
Gu Jun stood in the Tianming Hall with a cold expression. Shen Yuqing knelt on the ground in a mess, as if his soul had been sucked away. He no longer looked like his usual self.
Gu Jun frowned when he saw his appearance and asked, "Look at what you look like now?"
"Master, why did you hide this from me?"
Shen Yuqing only cared about this one thing.
Gu Jun sneered: "She is determined to divorce you and has no heart for you. Do you think you can keep her?"
"Whether I can keep him or not is my business. Master, please don't lie to me!"
"presumptuous!"
Gu Jun raised his hand and slapped Shen Yuqing to the ground. Shen Yuqing gasped softly.
Seeing his expression, Gu Jun seemed to be very disappointed with him. He gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to keep her, do you think you can just beg her? That will only make her look down on you. What made you act like that today? Did you really want to keep her?"
Shen Yuqing lay on the ground, gasping for breath and not daring to answer.
Whenever he thought of Jiang Zhaoxue leaving, he was filled with hatred, but he didn't know where the hatred came from.
He quieted down, and Gu Jun didn't want to argue. He looked at him for a moment, then tossed his sleeves and said, "Reflect on your actions in Tianming Hall and don't embarrass me."
With that, Gu Jun strode out and closed the door.
Shen Yuqing sat alone in the room, with Jiang Zhaoxue turning over and over in his mind.
He had to find a way, he had to find a way, what was there...
He was in a daze.
At this moment, he felt a light in front of him. He looked up and saw that the Book of Destiny was lighting up.
A line of black words appeared on it: "Do you want Jiang Zhaoxue?"
Seeing this line of words, Shen Yuqing was stunned.
Then the second line of words appeared in the Book of Destiny:
"I will sacrifice my luck to marry Jiang Zhaoxue, are you willing?"
Fateful Marriage...
A destined marriage that can reverse the fortune of the true fairyland.
Once the marriage is formed, the entire True Fairyland will force Jiang Zhaoxue to turn back. She will continue to meet him in every life and have the opportunity to fall in love with him. This is her destiny.
Luck?
Shen Yuqing looked at these two words and couldn't help but laugh softly.
He sat on the cushion in the Tianming Hall and looked up at the room where Jiang Zhaoxue was not.
A cold wind came from nowhere, blowing through the house without any windows. The talismans and banners in the house swayed and the copper bells rang.
The strange and bizarre scenes before Shen Yuqing's eyes were all about Jiang Zhaoxue and his youth.
That was the person he was obsessed with all his life.
"willing."
He whispered softly.
Knowing that luck is the lifeblood of a cultivator, he still said, "As long as she comes back, you can take all my luck."
-----------------------
Author's words: I forgot to mention that the scene where Shen Yuqing saw that Xin Luoyi's face was the same as Mu Jinyue's was deleted (because when I was sorting it out, I found that this would affect my subsequent plot)
So now Shen Yuqing doesn’t know that Xin Luoyi and Mu Jinyue have the same face. Only Pei Zichen knows it, but Pei Zichen is now determined to draw a clear line with the Jiuyou Realm. He doesn’t want Jiang Zhaoxue to have any doubts about his identity, so he didn’t tell anyone.
There will be some abuse for a few days, so friends who are afraid of abuse should remember to avoid it. When you come back, you can see Tian... It should be the "crematorium" where Tiantian chases her husband (well, it's okay, no matter which Pei it is, just coax him).
According to this mode of getting along, if nothing big happens, the heroine Xiao Pei will be frozen and can't write anything fancy, and Xiao Pei's face is also blurred.
Plots are like this, the highlights are the abuse (don’t hit me [chin])
【Small Theater】
Shen Yuqing: "However he takes you away, I can do it too! I can accept a threesome!"
Jiang Zhaoxue: "Did you misunderstand something? Pei Zichen is a gentleman, he is not that kind of person."
Shen Yuqing: "Men understand men best, let him speak out."
Jiang Zhaoxue: "Zichen, come out and tell him, between breaking up with you and me, and being with the three of us, what will you choose? Let your master see your backbone."
Pei Zichen: “…”
Jiang Zhaoxue: "Zi Chen?"
Pei Zichen: “…”
Shen Yuqing: "Speak."
Pei Zichen: "My Lady, the meal is ready. Let's go home and eat first instead of engaging in this meaningless discussion."
Shen Yuqing: "Haha, I said, men understand men best."
Pei Zichen: "Master, I'm different from you. I will only pretend to agree to the threesome and then kill you silently."
Shen Yuqing: "That's why I say that men understand men best."
Pei Zichen: "Oh?"
Shen Yuqing: "It's just a temporary solution. I didn't intend to let you live another night."
Pei Zichen: "Ah, Master is indeed Master. Coincidentally, I thought so too."
