Chapter 61 Chapter 61 (Revised) Who is the one you declare to the world...
After he received the message from himself in the illusion, he almost immediately informed Gu Jun and asked Mu Jinyue to open the time mirror on the spot, go back to the past, and head straight to Shuzhong.
He had rushed back because he was afraid that she might get into an accident, but once he arrived in Shu, he could feel Jiang Zhaoxue's spiritual power vibrating wantonly in this small world, getting closer and closer.
Seeing that she was safe, he felt relieved, and then he became eager to see her.
He didn't know what had happened, nor did he understand why she didn't come back.
He had already made it very clear to Pei Zichen that he would not kill Pei Zichen and would help her get the artifact. What was she hiding from?
And he has been gone for eight days...
When Shen Yuqing thought of this, he felt a little flustered.
The flow of time in the True Fairyland is different from here. One day is one year, which means that he has been away for eight years.
Eight years is too short in a cultivator's life. He had been in seclusion for decades before, and he had never had any worries at that time. But this time he felt uneasy.
I have a feeling... these eight years are different from the past.
He must see Jiang Zhaoxue earlier and keep her here earlier.
She had worked with Pei Zichen several times before, and had escaped from him twice in a row. This time, he had specially brought along a magic weapon that could restrain fortune tellers.
The fortune tellers are usually very far away from the battlefield and their power is too great, so the ancestor Gu Jun specially refined a magic weapon, called the Fate-Sensing Plate. The Fate-Sensing Plate can sense the fortune tellers casting spells. Whenever the fortune tellers cast a spell, they will be summoned by the Fate-Sensing Plate instantly and moved to the magic circle prepared in advance by the person using the Fate-Sensing Plate.
Shen Yuqing noticed that Jiang Zhaoxue was coming quickly and knew that she must have something important to tell him. He didn't say much and immediately took the life-sense card and rushed to the suburbs to start setting up the formation.
Jiang Zhaoxue knew nothing about this, she was just anxious to get going and get on with her journey.
In half an hour, she not only had to rush to Shuzhong, but also had to let Qian Sisi meet the disciples of Wenjian Villa.
She opened three formations in a row and finally reached the Yizhou Jinbao Pavilion. As soon as she landed, she stumbled. Pei Zichen supported her, looked at her slightly pale face, and channeled spiritual energy into her. He said worriedly, "Husband... Lady, please rest for a while."
Jiang Zhaoxue heard the sound he almost made at the beginning, and couldn't help but want to curse in his heart again.
She pretended not to hear anything, and subtly withdrew her hand from his, stood up and looked up.
Looking up, I saw a golden plaque with white characters on a black background, which read: "Life and Death Manor."
"Did we come to the wrong place?"
Qian Sisi spoke worriedly, she didn't have much time left.
Upon hearing this, Pei Zichen immediately walked over to the person passing by, raised his hand and touched their forehead. After quickly reading the information in their sea of consciousness, he walked back and confirmed, "It is now the 27th year of Chongming. Ten years ago, this place was indeed called Jinbao Pavilion and belonged to Jiange. But after the great disaster in Shu, Jiange was destroyed and this place was left unattended. It was later sold and converted into Shengsi Manor."
"What does Shengsizhuang do?"
Jiang Zhaoxue used his sea of consciousness to overlook the courtyard. He couldn't see it from outside the door, but when he looked down from a high place, he found that there was another world inside the door.
This manor is extremely large, appearing to be nearly a hundred acres in size. The leftmost side appears to be a residential building, while the large open space on the right is made up of countless single rooms connected together, stretching across the manor like a huge prison.
There were people locked up in the single room. Some of them were being beaten, some were wailing, and they were obviously making sounds, but no sound could be heard around. Jiang Zhaoxue couldn't help but explore the bottom of the manor and found that there was not only a hollow space underneath, but also many magic arrays stacked up layer by layer. It was obviously not an ordinary mountain villa.
"The main business of Life and Death Manor is gambling. They set up gambling games every night, put the people they bought into cages and fight them, and let everyone place their bets."
Pei Zichen patiently said, "Because they buy a lot of slaves while gambling on people, they simply started a human trafficking business. Over the past ten years, Shengsizhuang has become the largest human market in the entire southwest region. The people imprisoned here are all people they kidnapped from all over the place and are about to be sold. The basement is their casino."
"Then where did my master place the souls of his fellow disciples?"
Qian Sisi had no intention of listening to this. She felt her memory was becoming increasingly hazy. She kept repeating her original memory and urged, "How can I see them?"
"Your master has a soul-nurturing bead that houses the soul. The geographical location of Life and Death Manor is special. This soul-nurturing bead is below the manor. As long as you untie the formation set up by your master to protect the soul-nurturing bead, you can open the soul-nurturing bead." Pei Zichen explained.
As soon as Jiang Zhaoxue heard it, he figured out what those layers of formations were.
"This place is guarded by cultivators. Besides the formation left by your master, there are also formations used by cultivators to protect Shengsi Manor and control these trafficked people." Jiang Zhaoxue pondered, "Once the formation is touched, this place will collapse immediately, making it difficult for these mortals to escape. We must wait until they are all gone before we activate the formation, otherwise there will be casualties."
"What should I do?" Qian Sisi listened and said anxiously, "I only have a quarter of an hour left."
"There are four magic arrays in the four corners that will completely destroy Life and Death Manor if activated," Jiang Zhaoxue said calmly, scanning Pei Zichen with her spiritual sense. "Zichen, attract the guards' attention. Sisi, go and disarm these four magic arrays. I'll go rescue them."
Jiang Zhaoxue stretched out her hand towards Pei Zichen and said, "Leave a trace of sword intent in your sword. I will use your sword to cut the lock."
Hearing this, Pei Zichen couldn't help but smile. He drew his sword and handed it to Jiang Zhaoxue, admonishing her, "Be careful."
"So what do you use?"
Qian Sisi was curious, and Pei Zichen smiled: "I have other magical tools."
"He has a lot of magical tools, don't worry about it."
Jiang Zhaoxue felt jealous when she heard this, but when she thought about how all these magical instruments would belong to her, she finally felt more balanced and urged, "Hurry up, get in through the main gate!"
Pei Zichen nodded and walked straight to the door without saying anything. He raised his hand and a folding fan appeared in his hand. He walked to the front of the gate. The guard saw him coming and greeted him, "Hey, what are you doing..."
Before he finished speaking, Pei Zichen raised his hand and swung the door, sending him flying into the room. He said loudly, "Excuse me, where is the owner of your manor? I have something to ask you. Please speak with me."
As he spoke, people from the surrounding area rushed forward. He used his fan as a sword to fight his way in, leading them towards the residential area on the left.
Seeing that everyone at the door had been taken away, Jiang Zhaoxue immediately said, "Let's go."
Qian Sisi and her looked at each other, and then they split up into two groups.
Jiang Zhaoxue ran towards the "prison cell" where the people were imprisoned, holding a sword, while Qian Sisi went to dismantle the magic circle.
Many guards in the cell were attracted by Pei Zichen. When Jiang Zhaoxue arrived, only two or three people were left there. Almost at the moment she rushed in, she raised her hand and three immobilization talismans flew out. Everyone fell to the ground in an instant. Jiang Zhaoxue rushed in quickly, and then followed Pei Zichen's sword intent and split the wall with a sword!
The moment the wall split, everyone in the prison looked over. Jiang Zhaoxue stepped forward with a sword, slashing at the cage chains again and again, shouting, "Run! The wall has collapsed. In half a minute, this place will be razed to the ground. No need to thank me, just run!"
After hearing her words, everyone rushed out without hesitation, but some people couldn't help but turn around and shouted, "Thank you, girl!"
"Thanks!"
Thank you again and again lingered behind Jiang Zhaoxue. Jiang Zhaoxue didn't care about them at all, and just urged loudly: "Run!"
She moved very quickly. In just a few moments, she had cut down most of the iron chains in the prison. People were escaping frantically all around. Jiang Zhaoxue walked in the darkness, opening doors one after another, completely unaware that there was a pair of eyes in the darkness, looking at her passionately and full of hope.
She vaguely heard someone screaming "Ahhh", but Jiang Zhaoxue had no time to think about it. Just as she split open a prison door and was about to turn around, a young man suddenly rushed forward and grabbed her hand through the wooden bars!
Jiang Zhaoxue turned around and was about to kill him, but was stunned the moment he touched the other party.
He was a boy who looked to be only in his early ten years old. He was terribly thin, with messy hair and mud on his face. It was impossible to make out his appearance. There was only a pair of tearful eyes, staring at her passionately and madly, as if he knew her, and he said something excitedly.
But it was obvious that his tongue had been cut, so he couldn't make any sound at all. He could only yell "Ah ah", obviously trying to express something.
"What do you mean?"
Jiang Zhaoxue didn't understand, but when she saw the child's age, she guessed that he was too frightened and regarded her as a support. She immediately said, "I won't raise the child. Go find your parents. I still have people to save."
As she said this, she turned around and tried to leave, but the child grabbed her, his eyes full of fear and despair, and he screamed wildly.
Seeing that he was too emotional, Jiang Zhaoxue could only turn back and ask: "You want to follow me?"
The boy was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded, his eyes full of anticipation.
Jiang Zhaoxue frowned, took out a bag of spirit stones from her sleeve and placed it in his hand, quickly explaining: "I won't stay here for long, and I can't bring anyone with me. You take the spirit stones and go out and find a way to survive on your own."
Upon hearing this, the young man's face showed horror, as if he remembered something. He grabbed her and shook his head frantically.
Jiang Zhaoxue tried to pull him away, feeling somewhat impatient, and shouted, "Let go, or I'll hit you!"
The young man paused, then became excited, and patted his chest desperately with tearful eyes, as if he was meeting an old friend.
Jiang Zhaoxue had a hunch that something was wrong, and she couldn't recall when she'd met such a child. She looked around and realized she didn't have much time left, so she hurriedly said, "I'm busy right now and can't look after you. Here's a sound transmission talisman and a peace charm. Go out and wait for me."
Jiang Zhaoxue said as he handed two pieces of talisman paper to the young man and said seriously, "I'll come find you later."
The boy obviously didn't believe it and held on to her tightly.
Jiang Zhaoxue frowned, thought about the terrain of Yicheng in the illusion, and ordered: "Wait for me at the east city gate."
As she spoke, she held his hand in return. The young man was stunned, then looked at Jiang Zhaoxue seriously and said, "I will definitely come."
The boy didn't dare to speak. He felt Jiang Zhaoxue holding her. He looked at this person who came in a desperate situation. Finally, he forced himself to let go of her hand with trembling hands, and expressed with simple sign language: "I'll wait for you."
"run."
Seeing him let go, Jiang Zhaoxue immediately turned around and warned: "It will soon be dangerous here, run quickly."
The boy watched her leave with her back to him, to save others, to cut through the chains of other prisons with one sword after another.
He stared at her back, thought for a long time, took a deep breath, forced himself to get up from the ground, and staggered out with the crowd.
But halfway through the run, he still couldn't control himself. He turned around to look at Jiang Zhaoxue, shouted loudly, and made a mess of gestures, saying "I'll wait for you."
Jiang Zhaoxue turned around when she heard the voice and saw the boy's movements. She smiled and said soothingly, "I will definitely come. Go!"
Hearing this, the young man paused, and finally stopped. He followed the surging crowd, being swept along by the crowd. His thin and young body was carried forward by the torrent of fate.
Jiang Zhaoxue didn't care about the child and just chopped the iron chains all the way. In a moment, Jiang Zhaoxue reached the last room and heard a loud shout from above: "Who are you, the rogue, to dare to cause trouble in Shengsi Manor?!"
Jiang Zhaoxue raised his sword and turned around, and saw an old man in a yellow robe holding a whisk standing high up. He stared at Jiang Zhaoxue and said, "I am Ge Shan, a guest official of the Tianji Academy. Daoist friend, please leave as soon as possible today. I will not hold today's mistakes against you accountable."
Hearing this, the people in the cell showed a look of fear and hurriedly said: "Master, save me, save me, Master!"
"Leave now!"
Ge Shan shouted, but Jiang Zhaoxue laughed.
She didn't say anything, just raised her sword and decisively chopped the iron chain beside her!
Seeing such a provocative attitude, Ge Shan immediately shouted in anger: "You are looking for death!"
After saying that, Ge Shan raised his whisk and attacked Jiang Zhaoxue head-on.
Jiang Zhaoxue stood still, raised his hand and swung the sword towards Ge Shan.
Ge Shan sneered and turned sideways, and the sword easily avoided his side.
"Carving insects..."
The moment the two words came out, the long sword suddenly pierced through him from behind!
Ge Shan froze above Jiang Zhaoxue for a moment, looking at the woman in front of him in disbelief as she smiled and raised her hand to draw a formation.
She didn't even step back, but just looked at him with a smile: "Who told you that I threw the sword to hit you?"
After saying that, Pei Zichen behind Ge Shan used his sword to throw him away, and quickly landed in front of Jiang Zhaoxue. He glanced at the people in the cell and urged, "Let's go."
When the people in the cell heard this, they hurriedly thanked him and ran out of the cage. Pei Zichen raised his hand and swung his sword. The sword energy rose up and cut into a wall of spiritual power, following and escorting those ordinary people out.
Jiang Zhaoxue glanced at the spiritual wall, and couldn't help but let his eyes fall on the young man's profile, then quickly passed by, as if nothing had happened, and began to quickly draw the formation.
Ge Shan was knocked to the ground by Pei Zichen. The disciples who came over hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said anxiously, "Master!"
Ge Shan covered his wound and supported himself to stand up. Looking at Pei Zichen who was standing in front of Jiang Zhaoxue, he finally realized that Jiang Zhaoxue had thrown the sword at the young man in front of him.
He knew that the visitor had ill intentions, and panted softly, "I have no grudge against you, why are you giving me such trouble?"
"I'm not trying to cause you any trouble."
Jiang Zhaoxue smiled, his fingers drawing rapidly, his expression cold, "I just wanted to get something and release the person along the way. Isn't it despicable for a cultivator to do such a thing?"
"Okay, okay."
Hearing this, Ge Shan laughed and gritted his teeth, saying, "Since you want to destroy my foundation, then I will fight you!"
After saying that, Ge Shan shouted, "All disciples, come on!"
Those disciples looked at Pei Zichen timidly and thought for a moment. They gritted their teeth and rushed towards Pei Zichen and Jiang Zhaoxue! They shouted: "Kill!"
Hundreds of disciples rushed towards the two of them. Pei Zichen hung his sword on his waist, holding the scabbard in his hand, protecting Jiang Zhaoxue.
A scabbard protected Jiang Zhaoxue tightly, but Jiang Zhaoxue was a little anxious.
Time was running out, but the formation was extremely difficult to draw. It was obvious that something was stopping her. She could only increase her spiritual power to suppress it and forcibly draw the formation.
Spiritual energy poured in from all directions, and the surrounding ground shook.
Ge Shan looked at the scene and saw Jiang Zhaoxue opening the formation. He knew that he was no match for him. Seeing that his disciples could not get close to him at all, he gritted his teeth, simply twisted his hands, shouted, raised his hand and smashed it to the ground!
The moment the Dharma light struck, the surrounding formations instantly rose up, and countless light arrows rushed towards Jiang Zhaoxue from all directions. The ground where each light arrow shot out quickly collapsed.
Qian Sisi's feet collapsed, and she jumped up, seeing the arrow of light shooting towards Jiang Zhaoxue. Her pupils shrank, and she ran away frantically, crying out in surprise: "Jiang Zhaoxue!"
Light arrows rushed towards Jiang Zhaoxue and Pei Zichen like a tsunami. Wherever they passed, the disciples were shot to death by those light arrows.
Jiang Zhaoxue's steady voice came from the crowd: "The laws of nature are unpredictable, and luck depends on fate. Best of luck—"
The arrows of light stopped instantly, forming a dense sphere. After a moment, Jiang Zhaoxue said, "Soul Nurturing Orb, out!"
In an instant, light suddenly exploded from the tide of arrows, and everyone was instantly blown away by the spiritual power.
Pei Zichen and Jiang Zhaoxue appeared in the strong wind.
Pei Zichen was dressed in a blue robe with white edges, his hairband fluttering, a folding fan floating in his palm, staring coldly at Ge Shan in front of him.
Behind him was Jiang Zhaoxue, wearing white clothes with cloud patterns and holding a fortune stick in her hand.
The best fortune note fell and shattered in front of Jiang Zhaoxue in an instant.
Pei Zichen's sword intent erupted simultaneously, and more than a dozen lightsabers rushed straight towards Ge Shan. He said in a cold voice: "Anyone who intends to harm the lady will be killed without mercy."
Ge Shan fled in panic, with Guang Arrow chasing him all the way.
In this life-and-death struggle, Qian Sisi froze in her tracks.
She felt the ground rumble and fall down piece by piece, and everything turned into darkness except where people were standing.
Something in this darkness called out to her.
Memories faded away like flowing water. The last half hour was almost over. Her heart was beating rapidly. As she forgot everything, she always felt that there was something important behind her.
"Sisi, turn back!"
Jiang Zhaoxue shouted urgently, and Qian Sisi turned back stiffly.
At first, there was a sudden fluorescent light floating up from the darkness underground, like fireflies on a summer night or stars in the dark night.
Then the ground began to shake, and light rose up like silk in water. In the light, there were faces, and their bodies seemed to be soaked in water, slowly moving towards the sky.
When Pei Zichen saw the Soul-Nourishing Orb appear, he immediately raised his hand and opened the Lingxu Fan. Following the guidance of the Lingxu Fan, he recited the spell, then raised his hand and fanned it. A rainbow-like light bridge appeared in the sky, and his soul was led by the breeze along the light bridge.
I can't remember some of them.
Qian Sisi looked up at those people, and she found that she had vaguely begun to forget their faces and names.
She frantically tried to call out their names: "Zhuang Wen... Sun Xin... Master..."
Every time she called a name, someone opened their eyes.
"Sisi."
"Senior Sister."
"Junior sister."
"Old Qian!"
…
"Let's go."
One voice after another said goodbye to Qian Sisi: "See you in the future!"
Qian Sisi listened and couldn't help crying and laughing.
I had clearly started to forget, but I still shed tears.
As these people left, her memory slowly faded away, and her expression gradually became calm and confused.
Jiang Zhaoxue watched from afar.
These people were all people she had seen, talked to, and met in her fantasy.
Even though she had tried her best not to contact them, these people's names were still imprinted in her mind.
If she is like this, Pei Zichen...
Jiang Zhaoxue couldn't help but look back at him, and saw Pei Zichen looking up at the souls floating into the sky. His eyes were clear with a hint of sadness, perhaps because he had said goodbye so many times that it had become a habit.
But the pain will not disappear just because of habit. Jiang Zhaoxue looked at his handsome face quietly and suddenly felt the urge to comfort him.
Pei Zichen seemed to notice her gaze and turned to look at her. The moment he met Jiang Zhaoxue's gaze, his heart skipped a beat, and a sense of impossible anticipation suddenly rose in his heart: "My Lady..."
"ah……"
Jiang Zhaoxue realized that she had lost her composure and immediately suppressed her softness. She pretended to be calm and said, "I'll go check on Qian Sisi. She must have forgotten everything by now."
Pei Zichen was speechless and stared at her back, feeling that something was wrong.
Why was she looking at him like that?
Does she remember...
Pei Zichen was filled with confusion and uncertainty. Jiang Zhaoxue knew that he was suspicious, and her heart was also tense. She was thinking about how to deal with it later when she suddenly felt a huge force coming and pulling her down!
Pei Zichen reacted instantly, rushed forward, and stretched out his hand to grab: "Lady!!!"
However, he only had time to touch her sleeve before Jiang Zhaoxue felt the world spinning around her and everything went dark.
By the time she reacted, ropes were instantly tied around her, pulling her hard and trapping her in a magic circle, making her unable to move!
Life card!
Jiang Zhaoxue reacted immediately and looked up coldly, only to see Shen Yuqing holding a whisk, standing outside the formation, looking at her with gloomy eyes.
The fate tablet was hanging in front of him. Mu Jinyue stood not far behind him. Seeing Jiang Zhaoxue looking at her in shock and anger, she said nervously, "Master's Wife..."
“Finally, goodbye.
Shen Yuqing controlled his emotions, his eyes fixed on Jiang Zhaoxue. After a moment's hesitation, he suppressed the trembling in his voice and called out calmly, "Axue."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhaoxue reacted.
Shen Yuqing actually came to catch her with the life-defying card!
This thing is a treasure enshrined in the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion, rarely taken out of the Heavenly Fate Hall. And yet, they're using it to capture her?!
Realizing this, Jiang Zhaoxue couldn't help but curse out loud: "You've been married for two hundred years, unwillingly, and now you're pursuing me, are you sick?"
Shen Yuqing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said calmly: "You are my wife. You left home without permission, so I must take you back."
"Madam?" Jiang Zhaoxue couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. She immediately began to draw a formation with her hands and argued with him, "I made it very clear when I left. Now I have my own things to do. Everyone, please don't make things too awkward."
As he spoke, Pei Zichen's soul-seeking formation spread out in an instant, and Jiang Zhaoxue's eyes lit up instantly.
When Shen Yuqing saw her eyes, his expression instantly turned colder. He flicked his whisk and cast a barrier. The soul-seeking formation passed around them as if it didn't find anything.
Jiang Zhaoxue raised his head angrily: "You?!"
"I have a lot to tell you." Shen Yuqing saw that she was angry, but his expression remained unchanged. He said coldly, "Let's talk it over."
"I have nothing to discuss with you!"
"Jiang Zhaoxue!" Shen Yuqing saw that she was stubborn and was about to complete the magic circle, so he warned her, "You can't open the formation in front of me."
Jiang Zhaoxue ignored him and used the only finger he could use to draw the formation. He raised his finger and the Qiankun Lottery appeared in mid-air, shaking: "The way of heaven is unpredictable, and the fate of the gambler is in the sky..."
Before she could finish her words, Shen Yuqing's expression suddenly became stern. She broke through the formation and snatched the Qiankun Sign from her!
Seeing him rushing towards her, Jiang Zhaoxue quickly retreated within a limited range and shouted, "Pei Zichen!"
The moment the sound fell, it was as if someone had been waiting for a long time. The space cracked and the wind blew the pine scent.
The young man instantly appeared in front of Jiang Zhaoxue and slashed at Shen Yuqing with a sword!
The sword intent was mixed with ice and snow. Shen Yuqing's pupils shrank sharply and he reacted suddenly.
Life attendant!
Without this contract, even he - her Taoist partner, the servant she had verbally signed a contract with, would not be able to appear in front of her in such an instant.
She actually signed a life-serving contract with Pei Zichen.
Pei Zichen actually dared to sign a life-serving contract with her!
The whisk clattered into Pei Zichen's sword with a clang. Shen Yuqing looked at them in disbelief. Jiang Zhaoxue immediately shouted, "Great luck, thunder and lightning!"
Thunder roared down, Pei Zichen turned around and cut the rope on Jiang Zhaoxue with a sword, cutting through the space, pulling her and jumping forward.
As the two of them ran forward hand in hand, Jiang Zhaoxue suddenly heard an angry voice from behind: "Jiang Zhaoxue!"
At the same time, Mu Jinyue screamed: "Master!"
Before Jiang Zhaoxue could react, she felt a pain in her heart. She staggered suddenly, grabbed Pei Zichen and forced him to stop.
Pei Zichen turned around in surprise, and seeing Jiang Zhaoxue's expression, he hurriedly said, "Madam?"
Jiang Zhaoxue didn't say anything. She supported Pei Zichen, panting and looking back coldly.
The moonlight fell on the grass, and the deep grass was higher than the knees.
Shen Yuqing stood not far away, his sword piercing his chest and pressed against his body. Blood flowed from his chest and dripped onto the grass.
Jiang Zhaoxue stared at him intently, clearly feeling the cold pain of a sword piercing his heart with every heartbeat.
The Heart Contract will share all fatal injuries, and she must share the pain of injuries to the heart.
She stared at Shen Yuqing, who was also panting, looking at her coldly, as if they were an undying enemy. He raised his bloody hand towards her and panted and ordered, "Come back."
Jiang Zhaoxue didn't say anything and stared at Shen Yuqing.
Pei Zichen panicked when he saw her hesitate.
He knew that Jiang Zhaoxue had never thought of leaving Shen Yuqing.
She followed him and jumped off the cliff to make up for Shen Yuqing's mistakes as a master.
She didn't go back after Shen Yuqing decided not to kill him because of his lies.
As soon as they meet and check, the lies he told will immediately disappear.
He had no confidence in keeping Jiang Zhaoxue, so he could only hold Jiang Zhaoxue's wrist tightly and whispered to dissuade her: "If the lady goes back..."
"return!"
Hearing Pei Zichen's words, Shen Yuqing instantly became furious and immediately pushed the sword forward a little further.
The pain came suddenly, and Jiang Zhaoxue could no longer restrain herself. She pushed Pei Zichen away and ran towards Shen Yuqing.
Pei Zichen froze in place as he looked at his empty hand, his whole body consumed by panic.
Jiang Zhaoxue rushed to Shen Yuqing, snatched his sword and threw it to the ground, then grabbed his collar and pulled him forward, slapping Shen Yuqing's face hard.
The slap caused Shen Yuqing's crown to tilt slightly, and his hair to droop slightly. Jiang Zhaoxue dragged Shen Yuqing forward, staring at him intently, and asked in a voice transmission: "Did I give you the Heart Contract so that you can bully me like this?"
Shen Yuqing panted and raised his eyes, saying, "I have something to tell you."
The two men remained in a stalemate.
Seeing the two of them confronting each other, Mu Jinyue hesitated for a moment before stepping forward and respectfully saying, "Master's Wife, Master has come here for the Nine Netherworld Realm. Please give Master a chance to discuss this in detail."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhaoxue raised his eyes and glanced at Mu Jinyue.
She has followed Shen Yuqing to find her for four years, and now she looks like an adult woman, much more dignified and steady than before.
When Jiang Zhaoxue saw her, he looked her up and down and couldn't help but smile: "I take her with me wherever I go. She is really a treasure."
Shen Yuqing and Mu Jinyue's expressions changed slightly after hearing this. Jiang Zhaoxue knew that if he didn't explain himself now, he wouldn't be able to escape. He also took the matter of the Nine Netherworld Realm into consideration, so he simply let go of Shen Yuqing's collar, turned around and walked out, saying coldly, "Zichen, go!"
Having said that, Shen Yuqing immediately picked up his pace. Pei Zichen paused for a moment before suppressing his emotions and forcing himself to follow.
Mu Jinyue looked at him worriedly and asked cautiously, "Brother, are you okay?"
Pei Zichen responded softly: "Yeah."
The four of them split into two rows, Shen Yuqing and Jiang Zhaoxue walking side by side, Pei Zichen and Mu Jinyue following closely behind, and hurried back to the city. Once they entered the city, Jiang Zhaoxue led everyone to an inn. When they reached the counter, Shen Yuqing said, "Three..."
"Four upper rooms." Pei Zichen spoke at the same time and placed the spirit stone on the table.
Shen Yuqing looked at him coldly, and Pei Zichen lowered his eyes as if he knew nothing.
The word "three" echoed in my mind and my heart was beating fast.
He knew what the number "three" meant, but he didn't know what to do or what he could do.
He was interrupted before he could finish his question or even ask her if she remembered.
It would be inappropriate to ask now.
Shen Yuqing came to talk to Jiang Zhaoxue in the name of Jiuyou Realm. If he obstructed too much, it would make Jiang Zhaoxue suspicious.
If Jiang Zhaoxue remembered those four years, she would have made her own choice.
If she doesn't remember...it's no use for him to say it.
He put down the spirit stone and waited for the innkeeper to arrange accommodation. Then the group followed the innkeeper to the backyard.
Jiang Zhaoxue walked into the yard first, chose a room, pushed the door open, and stood in the room and said coldly, "Shen Yuqing, come in."
Pei Zichen paused as he was about to enter the corridor, restrained his impulse to move forward, and raised his eyes.
Nothing has been decided yet, he can't be impatient.
He had to wait until Jiang Zhaoxue made a decision. Maybe she wouldn't talk to Shen Yuqing about his lie, or maybe she wouldn't stay.
She might... she might remember too.
Thinking of the look she gave him when she was standing beside him just now, Pei Zichen suddenly had some delusional thoughts.
Shen Yuqing glanced at him, walked past him sideways, strode in, lifted the whisk, and closed the door directly.
Jiang Zhaoxue heard Shen Yuqing coming in, raised her hand to cast a barrier, and knowing that no one could hear her, she no longer restrained herself, turned her eyes coldly, and spoke directly: "Have you made up this story along the way? What happened to the Nine Netherworld Realm?"
Shen Yuqing didn't say anything, just stood at the door, silent.
His hair crown was not tied up yet, there was still blood on his chest, and he had stubble on his face, obviously he hadn't taken care of it in a long time.
Seeing that he was silent, Jiang Zhaoxue lowered her head to pour herself some tea, suppressing her anger and saying, "I haven't seen you for a while. When did Pavilion Master Chen become silent? Did you go to so much trouble to force me here just to play dead? Ask whatever you want to ask quickly. I don't have much patience with you."
"Have you signed a life-servant contract with Pei Zichen?"
Shen Yuqing only asked this question calmly, and Jiang Zhaoxue paused instantly.
He asked calmly, but Jiang Zhaoxue clearly sensed his murderous intent at that moment.
"Why? When?"
Shen Yuqing said, slowly raising his eyes: "Do you still remember?" He tried his best to control his emotions and spoke with extraordinary solemnity, "Who is the destined servant you promised to spend your life with, and who is the husband you declared to heaven and earth?"
-----------------------
The author has something to say: [Small Theater]
Shen Yuqing: "Do you still remember who is your lifelong servant, and who is your husband whom you declared to heaven and earth?"
Pei Zichen (showing his wedding ring): "Me!!"
The flow rate in the illusion is different from that outside. I stayed in the illusion for four years, and flowed outside for 8 years. It's not a bug.
