Chapter 50 Chapter 50 Sour and Bitter
Jiang Zhaoxue had learned in the 21st century that hormone balance is beneficial to physical health.
Jiang Zhaoxue fully experienced this that night.
She had a sound and comfortable sleep, and when she woke up she was in a very good mood, with a rosy face and full of energy. It was not until she stretched herself and suddenly realized what had happened last night that she froze.
"Awake?"
Anan yawned and emerged from under the covers, shaking his head. Jiang Zhaoxue stiffly turned around to look at him. Anan's small, mung bean-sized eyes narrowed as he asked maliciously, "How far did we get last night? How did you feel?"
"You saw everything?!"
Jiang Zhaoxue instantly became alert, and Anan gave her a look of grievance: "What are you looking at? You locked me up as soon as someone entered the room."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhaoxue felt relieved and realized that he still had some rationality.
Anan was curious when she didn't answer: "Why do you look like that? Is he not good enough?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Zhaoxue glared at her, feeling a little embarrassed, but still trying to force herself to speak, "He's the male lead, how can that not be allowed?"
"Oh..." Anan nodded, then looked back in shock, "You really fell asleep?!"
"No!" Jiang Zhaoxue immediately retorted, explaining vaguely, "Just...almost."
But even if it's almost there, this...
Going straight to this step was a bit beyond her expectations.
She sat on the bed and thought about it, but she couldn't help but feel confused: "I didn't realize he was this kind of person..."
"People," Anan said, understandingly, "the more you suppress something, the more you want it. If you don't explode from repression, you become distorted. He's twenty-one now, just the right age. Don't feel too burdened!"
Anan raised his wings, patted her intelligently, and said seriously, "Wake him up quickly. When he's awake, go find the Lingxu fan, crush it, and get out. That's the most important thing."
"you say……"
Jiang Zhaoxue felt a little guilty when she heard that she had "woke up" Pei Zichen. She pondered, "After he wakes up, will he only realize that this is an illusion but not remember who he is, or will he remember who he is?"
"Does it make any difference?"
"You want him to remember the relationship between him and me, so now..."
Jiang Zhaoxue glanced at the bedsheets, which, though tidied, still clung to Pei Zichen's scent. Suddenly, she felt a headache coming on: "How...how am I going to explain this to him?"
"What do you need to explain?" Anan was puzzled. "Even if he has lost his memory, he is still a 21-year-old adult. Don't act like an elder for too long and forget the age of ordinary people. He is already an adult, and you still have to treat him like a child and consider how to explain yourself. This is a bit unreasonable, isn't it?"
These words made Jiang Zhaoxue freeze, and he instantly remembered many things that happened last night.
He is indeed not a young man anymore.
"Just treat him as someone you just met."
Anan said seriously, "Just pretend that you love him. No one will remember it when you go out in the future, and there won't be any consequences."
"you're right."
Jiang Zhaoxue listened to Anan's persuasion and pondered: "Can a person without memory be considered that person? This is not Pei Zichen. Since it is not Pei Zichen..."
"This is your second spring!" Anan understood Jiang Zhaoxue's meaning and encouraged her, "You and him are engaged and will be married soon. What's wrong with having a relationship? You just want to love him, what's wrong with that?"
“That’s right!”
Jiang Zhaoxue clapped her hands after figuring it out. She finally felt completely at ease and began to prepare her plan: "Then when he comes over later, I'll tell him I don't know how to put on a coat and ask him to help me dress, comb my hair and put on makeup. When he's done, I'll kiss him."
"Wow!" Anan became excited. "This is so wonderful that he will die!"
"What do you think I should wear today?"
"The pink one with the peach blossoms!" Anan said immediately, "and that purple jade bracelet of yours."
"Then it would be best to pair it with a silver hairpin..."
"Miss Jiang."
Jiang Zhaoxue and Anan were discussing excitedly when Qian Sisi's voice suddenly came from outside: "Brother, let me come and see if you are awake. Judging from the sound of your breathing, you have been awake for a long time, right?"
Hearing this, the man and the bird looked at each other in shock, and Jiang Zhaoxue was a little surprised.
It wasn't Pei Zichen who came?
At times like this...
He didn't come?!
Before, nothing happened to him outside the illusion and he came here every day, but now... this...
Jiang Zhaoxue felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on her. She immediately became furious, but it was not appropriate for her to lose her temper over such a matter. She could only ask, "Where's your senior brother?"
"I'm waiting at the door with everyone."
Qian Sisi leaned against the doorway and spoke kindly to Pei Zichen, "As soon as everyone woke up this morning, Senior Brother said we had to wait a little longer so we could get some rest. I was wondering if we disciples of Wenjian Villa were all so angry early in the morning, who was we waiting for? But now, it seems the only ones who haven't woken up yet are Miss Jiang and Ye Tianjiao. Miss Jiang, who do you think Senior Brother is waiting for?"
"Wait for Ye Tianjiao."
While Qian Sisi was talking, Jiang Zhaoxue sulked as she quickly washed and dressed. She was about to pack her luggage when she saw Pei Zichen had already packed up the things she needed and put them aside. She put her things into her Qiankun bag, turned around, walked to the door, opened it, and said with a stern face, "Let's go."
Seeing Jiang Zhaoxue unhappy, Qian Sisi was a little surprised: "Miss Jiang, why are you so angry? Who offended you?"
"The weather is bad, sunny to cloudy." Jiang Zhaoxue said coldly.
Qian Sisi looked up at the blue sky, white clouds and bright sunshine: "Isn't this weather nice?"
Jiang Zhaoxue walked to the front yard with Qian Sisi with a stern face, and the first thing he saw was Ye Tianjiao, who looked listless in the crowd.
This is not surprising, because almost all the disciples of Wenjian Villa are wearing white clothes, only Ye Tianjiao is wearing a golden brocade robe, like a chick standing alone among a flock of cranes, very conspicuous.
When the two of them locked eyes in the crowd, Ye Tianjiao immediately looked away and walked towards Qian Sisi, saying with a stiff smile, "Sisi!!"
Ye Tianjiao's reaction was so abnormal that Jiang Zhaoxue was a little surprised.
She followed Ye Tianjiao's gaze and moved only half an inch when she heard a gentle voice beside her: "Miss Jiang."
Jiang Zhaoxue turned around when she heard the voice and saw Pei Zichen standing beside her, holding a sword. He withdrew his gaze from Jiang Zhaoxue's face and said softly, "We should leave. The disciples of Jiange happen to be nearby and have an appointment to meet at Ziyelin tomorrow night. We need to hurry up."
"You should have left earlier."
When Sun Xin heard this, he immediately said, "Brother, why did you insist on waiting? We all slept quite late last night. Miss Jiang, are you very tired?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Zichen and Jiang Zhaoxue subconsciously glanced at each other, and then quickly separated.
Seeing him evasive, Jiang Zhaoxue couldn't help but sneer and said loudly: "Tired, so tired."
"Ah?" Sun Xin was puzzled. "What did you do yesterday?"
"Miss Jiang caught a cold yesterday," Pei Zichen finally spoke, interrupting Sun Xin. "Fourth Brother, stop talking nonsense and hurry on."
"Oh, it's a cold." Sun Xin nodded, glanced at Pei Zichen's red ears, and asked curiously, "Brother, why are your ears so red?"
Everyone was attracted by these words and looked at Pei Zichen. Only then did they realize that Pei Zichen's ears, beneath his tied hair, were so red they were about to bleed.
Everyone was a little surprised. Zhuang Wen couldn't help but ask, "How can a person's ears be this red?"
"alright!"
Pei Zichen felt a little embarrassed and shouted, "Hurry up and leave. Sisi," he said, mentioning Jiang Zhaoxue, and his tone softened again, "You take Miss Jiang, and the fourth brother takes Master Ye. Let's go."
"Isn't this bad?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Sisi hurriedly said, "My sword control is unstable. What if I make Miss Jiang vomit..."
Before he could finish his words, Pei Zichen glanced at him coldly. Qian Sisi saw the warning and immediately said, "Yes, yes, I will definitely do it steadily."
As she spoke, Qian Sisi turned her head and extended her hand to Jiang Zhaoxue, "Miss Jiang, please."
The two groups separated and stood up together with their swords.
Jiang Zhaoxue stood behind Qian Sisi, looked up at the team leader Pei Zichen, stared at him for a long time, and sneered.
He was so proactive last night, and now he comes to pretend to be a gentleman in front of her.
When she saw him like this, she felt annoyed and simply turned her eyes away, not bothering to look at him.
Pei Zichen felt Jiang Zhaoxue's gaze shift away and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He went back early in the morning and didn't sleep. He tossed and turned and took two cold showers before he realized what he had done.
Although I don't regret it, I always feel that I have gone too far.
In fact, he just wanted to send her back.
After sending her to the door, I couldn't help but want to confirm with her again and get closer to her.
I originally thought of just kissing her and leaving, but the feeling was too wonderful, and I couldn't help but kiss her for a while longer.
When her tongue touched him... he forgot everything.
Later, even though he wanted to make her happy in the name of worrying that she would feel uncomfortable, he also knew clearly that there were many things he wanted to see and many things he wanted to do.
His mind was full of Jiang Zhaoxue the whole morning. It was the first time in his life that he had been so mean. Now he didn't even dare to touch her, for fear that he would have thoughts that he shouldn't have.
He always felt guilty, afraid that others would find out about their relationship and damage Jiang Zhaoxue's reputation.
The group traveled diligently for a whole day. Pei Zichen took extra care of Jiang Zhaoxue along the way, but this care was extremely respectful and polite. For example, he would secretly observe her expression and stop if she felt uncomfortable.
When eating on the way, he prepared extra sweet fruits for her and tore the most fragrant roasted rabbit into strips and put them in leaves for her.
When flying, he would stand in front of Qian Sisi to block the wind for her and Jiang Zhaoxue...
Being considerate is being considerate, but it means not saying a word more.
At night, when he arranged everyone to sleep around Jiang Zhaoxue and Qian Sisi, Jiang Zhaoxue was convinced.
With this arrangement, I’m afraid she will go find him!
He arranged everyone and lay down on a tree in the outermost circle to keep watch.
Jiang Zhaoxue sat by the fire, looking at Pei Zichen angrily.
After everyone had gone to bed, she felt a little unwilling, so she simply got up on tiptoe and went straight to the tree where Pei Zichen was.
All the disciples of Wenjian Villa seemed to be sleeping soundly, but after Jiang Zhaoxue trotted away, they all hugged their swords, opened their eyes and pricked up their ears.
Jiang Zhaoxue ran out of the encirclement of these disciples and came to the tree where Pei Zichen was.
This thousand-year-old tree had huge branches. Pei Zichen leaned against the tree with his sword in his arms, with only the corners of his clothes exposed.
Jiang Zhaoxue used a talisman to leap lightly. When Pei Zichen saw her and was about to speak, she pounced on him and sat directly on his legs. She pressed her hands against his chest like a tiger, pinning him down and whispering, "Don't move!"
Pei Zichen froze, his face flushed instantly, and he said anxiously, "Miss Jiang...you...you come down first!"
"Why didn't you come to pick me up this morning?" Jiang Zhaoxue asked.
Pei Zichen felt his body's reaction and hurriedly said, "Miss Jiang, stop making trouble..."
"Hey, Miss Jiang," Jiang Zhaoxue said sarcastically, leaning closer and whispering, "What did you scream last night?"
Hearing this, Pei Zichen froze, and Jiang Zhaoxue then realized that his earlobes were really red.
Her eyes were attracted by his earlobe, and she couldn't help but touch it. Pei Zichen's body trembled slightly, and he grabbed her hand and said anxiously: "Xue'er!"
Jiang Zhaoxue suppressed a smile and turned to look at him. Pei Zichen quickly opened the barrier and said softly, "Junior brothers and sisters were all there... last night..."
Even though he had set up a barrier, he was still a little afraid of being heard, and his voice became softer and softer: "I was too offensive last night..."
Jiang Zhaoxue looked at him coldly and listened to him say, "I...I should wait until I get married."
Hearing this, an inexplicable sense of familiarity came over Jiang Zhaoxue. He suddenly remembered something and looked at the person in front of him. He suddenly lost interest and even felt a little annoyed.
"What's the point of talking about marriage?" Jiang Zhaoxue laughed sarcastically. "It's just that I'm not in love with you yet. It's okay if you're not happy about it. Anyway, you know I like you, and this is what I'm happy about."
Jiang Zhaoxue said what she was supposed to say step by step, turned around and jumped down: "Let's go."
"Xue'er..."
Pei Zichen reacted and tried to stop her, but Jiang Zhaoxue had already slid down and walked towards the fire.
Pei Zichen hesitated and looked at her back as she walked towards the fire alone, his heart aching and sour.
A stinging pain etched deep within his soul surged up, bringing with it fear and anger. He couldn't tell what it was, only a vague feeling...
She wasn't talking about him.
At that moment just now, when she looked at him, she was looking at another person.
This illusion made him feel hurt, angry and regretful, thinking that he shouldn't have pushed her away and said something offensive about the marriage.
But the words had been said and the person had gone back. Chasing her now would cause too much noise, and he couldn't really ignore her reputation.
Jiang Zhaoxue walked back to the bed angrily, feeling a tightness in his chest.
Anan sighed, "Forget it. It's just a mission. You just need to wake him up and pretend you love him unconditionally. Why bother taking it so seriously?"
"If it's unconditional, then it's not love." Jiang Zhaoxue glanced at it. "Unconditional love must have a purpose. Real love requires you to have a temper. If he doesn't think of me at the first moment, I will be sad because of it. That's what love is."
"Then what are you going to do?" Anan didn't understand.
Jiang Zhaoxue thought for a moment, sneered, and covered himself with the quilt: "Go to sleep, and see what happens!"
Pei Zichen meditated all night long and couldn't sleep until dawn.
The next day, after Jiang Zhaoxue woke up and washed up, she saw Pei Zichen approaching her and bringing her some freshly steamed osmanthus cake. While everyone was far away, he whispered, "Xue'er, I bought this yesterday."
“Shen Daojun put his heart into it.”
Jiang Zhaoxue nodded politely, which made Pei Zichen's heart ache.
He didn't know what to say, so he could only sit aside and wait for Jiang Zhaoxue to finish eating.
When it was time to set off, Jiang Zhaoxue stood up, walked past Pei Zichen, walked to Qian Sisi, grabbed her and said, "Let's go."
Pei Zichen was much more proactive that day, but Jiang Zhaoxue became more polite.
This attitude made Pei Zichen feel uneasy, but he didn't know what to do.
He didn't understand what he had done wrong, nor did he know what to do. He just wanted to wait until night to find an opportunity to find her alone.
Jiang Zhaoxue felt that Pei Zichen had been trying hard to show goodwill, and her anger gradually subsided. When everyone arrived at Midnight Forest in the evening, Pei Zichen and his disciples set up camp. Jiang Zhaoxue sat on a rock, supporting her chin and watching Pei Zichen work, which was very pleasing to the eyes. Gradually, her anger subsided.
Pei Zichen felt her aura soften. He poured some water for Jiang Zhaoxue and handed it to her. He lowered his eyes nervously, staring at the ground, and asked in a low voice, "Xue'er, are you still angry?"
"No more children." Jiang Zhaoxue glanced at his face and said jokingly, "Little Taoist Chen is so handsome, I won't be angry just by looking at his face."
Seeing her joking, Pei Zichen finally relaxed and said slowly: "I'm afraid that others will talk about you, but if this makes you unhappy, then I can change."
"No need to change it." Jiang Zhaoxue drank water and said patiently, "You are thinking about me and are afraid that others will say that we are secretly giving things away. I know that. If you want to wait until you get married, then wait until you get married. As long as you are happy, that's all that matters."
Pei Zichen was speechless. He looked into Jiang Zhaoxue's eyes and felt something was wrong, but he couldn't put it into words.
He tried to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt the spiritual energy around him vibrate.
In an instant, there was a hissing sound in the distance. Qian Sisi, Zhuang Wen and others stood up instantly. Ye Tianjiao asked nervously, "What's that sound?"
Pei Zichen gripped the hilt of his sword, with Jiang Zhaoxue protecting him. He listened to the hissing sound approaching from afar, and after a moment's judgment, he immediately shouted, "Snake demon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, tens of thousands of snakes jumped out from the grass and slammed into the barrier like heavy rain.
At the same time, a giant python broke out of the ground and slammed heavily on the interface!
A crack appeared in the barrier, and Pei Zichen said calmly, "Second Sisi, protect Miss Jiang. I'll go and kill its true form."
"yes!"
Qian Sisi and Zhuang Wen rushed over immediately. Pei Zichen turned around to look at Jiang Zhaoxue, who immediately said, "Go ahead."
Pei Zichen heard the words and said, "My sword technique is with you. Call me if you need anything."
Having said that, Pei Zichen jumped out of the barrier, drew his sword and rushed towards the giant python.
This giant python is not yet in the Nascent Soul stage, so it is not difficult to kill it with Pei Zichen's current strength.
Jiang Zhaoxue observed Pei Zichen in this small world. He was extremely agile and shuttled around the giant python. The python's body was extremely hard, so Pei Zichen left sword formations in different places with his sword.
This kind of demon snake is an immortal snake. Its body is immortal and its descendants are endless. If all its parts are cut off, one will be split into two, and two will be split into four. The more it is killed, the more it will appear.
The only way is to kill the main body, but the scales of the main body are extremely hard and cannot be scratched by ordinary swordsmen. The only way is to detonate the most vulnerable points at the same time.
Jiang Zhaoxue saw Pei Zichen's fighting style and smiled slightly: "That's quite clever."
She saw Pei Zichen's fighting style, and the python also obviously saw it, and immediately summoned all the little snakes to attack Pei Zichen. Seeing this, the other disciples rushed out to help him.
Jiang Zhaoxue watched them playing together and suddenly felt something strange happening nearby.
Jiang Zhaoxue remained calm as he secretly drew a formation: "The laws of nature are unpredictable, so let your luck depend on heaven. Good luck will come to you, and the evil will be exterminated in all directions—"
Just before signing out, Pei Zichen's seven sword formations for detonation were about to take shape. At the same time, a giant python suddenly broke out of the ground nearby and rushed towards Jiang Zhaoxue!
The barrier was knocked open by the giant python, and millions of small snakes broke through the barrier and entangled Qian Sisi and Zhuang Wen, while the giant python rushed straight towards Jiang Zhaoxue with its mouth open!
Jiang Zhaoxue looked at the giant python with a smile, and just before it got close, he said coldly: "Break!"
The jade stick flew out, and the red sword light suddenly came like an overwhelming force. Then a person in red rushed out from behind the giant python, grabbed Jiang Zhaoxue's waist, and pulled her away from the snake's mouth!
The thunder roared down and struck all the snakes in the entire forest. The demon snakes within a radius of several miles were instantly submerged in the thunder. Jiang Zhaoxue looked back in surprise and saw a handsome and clear young man's face.
Those eyebrows and eyes clearly had nothing in common with Pei Zichen, but Jiang Zhaoxue could vaguely see the same high-spirited look as when she first met Pei Zichen between those eyebrows.
That was the unique pride of the first disciple of a major sect and a favored child of heaven, but it was suppressed under humility by the sect's discipline.
Jiang Zhaoxue stared blankly at the person in front of her. When the young man held her and landed steadily, he turned around and was also surprised.
In the light of thunder, Jiang Zhaoxue's face was reflected in the boy's eyes. He looked at Jiang Zhaoxue in amazement, and before he could react, he felt a sword light coming straight at him from the side!
The young man hurriedly let Jiang Zhaoxue go. Jiang Zhaoxue was stopped by someone from the waist. Pei Zichen came up behind her without her knowing when. He supported her with one hand and pointed his sword at the other person with the other hand. He said coldly: "Pei Xueyi, you have offended me."
Pei Xueyi?
Jiang Zhaoxue stared at Pei Xueyi, somewhat surprised.
Pei Zichen reminded her, and she finally reacted. She hurriedly saluted Jiang Zhaoxue and said, "Sorry, young lady, the situation was urgent..."
"The initial action was an emergency, so why didn't you let him go afterwards?"
Pei Zichen interrupted him directly and said coldly: "Is this how Jiange teaches you the rules?"
Hearing this, Pei Xueyi's expression gradually faded. He looked at Pei Zichen coldly and said dissatisfiedly: "It is indeed my fault for offending the young lady, but I don't know what the identity of Shen Daojun is to question me about this matter?"
"She is my soon-to-be wife." Pei Zichen said directly, "What do you think my identity is?"
Pei Xueyi was stunned by what he said, and subconsciously glanced at Jiang Zhaoxue. Then he quickly reacted, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, and he quickly put away his sword and saluted: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, I apologize for the offense. I hope you can forgive me."
The marriage between Jiang Xue and Shen Chen is known to everyone in Shu. Shen Chen said that she is his fiancée and there is no one else but Jiang Xue.
Pei Zichen listened to the apology without saying anything. He knew there was no point in pursuing the matter further.
But he saw clearly the surprise and regret in Pei Xueyi's eyes just now.
He was silent. Seeing the tense atmosphere, Jiang Zhaoxue quickly said, "Nothing, nothing. It's just a small matter. Don't let it hurt everyone's harmony."
"Thank you for your understanding, Miss Jiang."
Pei Xueyi placed her fingers in front of her and saluted: "It is my great honor to be able to see the Master of Destiny take action today."
"Sure, sure!" Jiang Zhaoxue was particularly happy when he heard people praising his professional level.
Pei Xueyi greeted him and then looked at Pei Zichen: "The disciples of Jian Pavilion have all arrived. I wonder where Brother Shen plans to rest?"
"Just find a cave nearby."
Pei Zichen suppressed his emotions and spoke. Pei Xueyi nodded: "Okay, let's go."
As he spoke, Pei Xueyi led his disciples forward.
Jiang Zhaoxue's gaze remained fixed on Pei Xueyi. At first glance, he looked like the young Pei Zichen, but upon closer inspection, he didn't. After studying him for a long time...
She suddenly realized that she couldn't see his luck.
Strange.
Jiang Zhaoxue kept staring at Pei Xueyi's back, and Pei Zichen kept looking at her quietly.
After a long time, Jiang Zhaoxue finally came back to his senses. He turned to look at Pei Zichen and asked curiously, "Is he Pei Xueyi from Jiange?"
The guess was confirmed in an instant, and Pei Zichen's fingertips trembled slightly under his sleeves.
She remembered him.
The look in her eyes when she saw Pei Xueyi just now was no longer like their first meeting. Now, she used the word "yes". She knew Pei Xueyi existed, she remembered him.
He looked at Jiang Zhaoxue's eyes full of interest, and his heart seemed to be gnawing at something, but he still pretended to be calm. He couldn't help but said with a bit of sullenness: "Yes, he is the first disciple of the Sword Pavilion master. When we asked for the way in Mount Shu, I was first and he was second."
"Oh." Jiang Zhaoxue nodded, completely unconcerned with the phrase 'I'm first, he's second'. She simply walked forward, pondering, muttering softly, a fan materializing in her hand, gently waving it as she spoke, "Very interesting."
Pei Zichen stood still for a long time. He forced himself to suppress all his emotions, walked to Jiang Zhaoxue's side, followed her, and went to find a cave with Pei Xueyi and others.
Pei Zichen instinctively wanted to say something, do something, to soothe the blood that was boiling hot and even had a faint murderous intent.
But with so many people present, he couldn't say anything.
When night fell, the two sides separated into men and women to sleep, and he lost his chance. He could only sit in the crowd and watch Jiang Zhaoxue staring at Pei Xueyi from afar.
It’s not Jiang Zhaoxue’s fault for staring at her all the time, but she found Pei Xueyi more and more interesting the more she stared at him.
A person, but he can't see any luck, and there is always a vague sense of foreboding.
Why?
"Will you find a chance to take a closer look tomorrow?" Anan asked.
The more you come into contact with something like luck, the clearer you will see it.
Jiang Zhaoxue observed Pei Xueyi, while Pei Zichen stayed awake all night in the dark.
I just wanted to wait until the next day, find an opportunity to take her to fly the sword, and have a good talk with her.
But what can I say?
He didn't know either. He was just like a lion whose territory was invaded, feeling anxious and uneasy.
The next morning, everyone got up early. Jiang Zhaoxue pretended to be natural and approached Pei Xueyi who was standing at the door, and greeted him, "Morning, Pei Daojun."
Pei Xueyi turned around in surprise when she heard what he said. Seeing that it was Jiang Zhaoxue, she couldn't help but smile: "Good morning, Brother Jiang."
"Where are we going today?"
Jiang Zhaoxue chatted idly, and Pei Xueyi said patiently, "We are going to Emei Ruins together. It's still seven days away."
"Oh." Jiang Zhaoxue nodded, his eyes falling on Pei Xueyi's sword, "Does Pei Daojun have a fire spiritual root?"
"good."
"It's really rare for a sword cultivator to be of the fire element." Jiang Zhaoxue praised, and a smile appeared on Pei Xueyi's face.
"That's true, but my sword is not bad either."
The two chatted with each other, while the disciples of Wenjian Villa sat on the other side to pack their things.
Seeing that everything was almost packed, Qian Sisi yawned, stretched, and stood up: "Brother, I'll go pick up my sister-in-law..."
"No need." Pei Zichen held her down, staring at Jiang Zhaoxue and Pei Xueyi who were chatting happily, and stood up with his sword, saying, "I'll take Xue'er with me today."
"well?"
Qian Sisi was stunned, and saw that Pei Zichen could no longer hold back, so he stood up and walked over hurriedly.
He had been watching Jiang Zhaoxue all morning, but Jiang Zhaoxue didn't come to see him. Instead, she went to find Pei Xueyi.
He doesn't understand.
He is her fiancé. Why would she look for Pei Xueyi instead of him in public when everyone is watching?
What he didn't understand even more was that she didn't know him, so why did he have to find a reason to talk to her?
Why did he have to be so polite, why did he have to wait for her to come?
He gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, and had countless words he wanted to tell Jiang Zhaoxue.
However, just as he reached the door, he heard Jiang Zhaoxue say, "If Pei Daojun doesn't mind, why don't you give me a ride today?" Jiang Zhaoxue's voice was a hint of laughter, "I have never seen a fire sword before."
Hearing this, Pei Zichen paused. Jiang Zhaoxue and Pei Xueyi heard the voice and looked back. They saw Pei Zichen standing not far away, holding the hilt of the sword, as if he was trying his best to endure, looking at Pei Xueyi coldly.
Jiang Zhaoxue was quite surprised when she saw Pei Zichen: "Shi Cang?"
As she spoke, she subconsciously looked at Qian Sisi and asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"
