Chapter 65 Chapter 65 I won’t allow anyone to bully her, let alone others…
Hearing the words "Happy New Year", Jiang Zhaoxue finally remembered what she had promised when they came down from Wenjian Villa.
They have to rush back to celebrate the New Year.
On the day he became the head of the sect, she coaxed him down the mountain. Now thinking about it, if he had woken up earlier, he would have known from the moment he left the mountain that he could not return.
But he still made this wish.
The moment she thought about how she had agreed to this matter, she slowly relaxed her tense muscles and completely gave up the idea of resistance. She allowed him to slowly and tentatively invade her sea of consciousness with his spiritual sense in the gentle kiss like the sea water.
In fact, she knew what he was thinking from the moment he left and came back.
He simply didn't believe that she had forgotten, or even if he believed it, he wanted to verify it.
The simplest method of verification is, of course, soul searching. However, this method of forcibly entering another person's sea of consciousness can easily completely destroy the other person's sea of consciousness, and the person whose soul is searched will either die or go insane.
But the premise of all this is that the sea of consciousness is forcibly broken into.
And this is where her relationship with Pei Zichen is special.
Whether it was the Life Servant Contract or the Soul Locking Formation, their spirits were connected. In addition, their spirits had merged countless times before. Unless her sea of consciousness was forcibly alert, there was almost no obstacle for Pei Zichen.
And when she was unconscious, her sea of consciousness was most likely open to him.
This was probably what he was betting on, so he wanted to enter her consciousness while she was unconscious and search for her memories.
She could choose not to open her sea of consciousness to him, which proved that even during those four years, she had never truly given him her trust. Every time she opened her sea of consciousness to him, she did so consciously and deliberately.
That was her original plan, but...
Jiang Zhaoxue's eyelids trembled as she watched the fireworks that he displayed to her through his synaesthesia.
She didn't know why, maybe because of the promise, or maybe for something else, she still let him step into her sea of consciousness.
Pei Zichen's soul fell into her sea of consciousness, and the first thing he saw was the sleeping Anan.
Anan is Jiang Zhaoxue's life beast, transformed from his spirit and soul. When Jiang Zhaoxue falls asleep, Anan will fall asleep naturally.
Pei Zichen felt a little more at ease, and then walked forward to the place where Jiang Zhaoxue placed her memories, scanning through all the fragments of her memories.
Jiang Zhaoxue silently controlled those fragments, hid all the memory fragments that he should not see and put them in a place where he could not find them, and then he could search for them.
Memories were scattered in Jiang Zhaoxue's sea of consciousness. Pei Zichen closed his eyes, and rays of light burst out from his body, instantly connecting to all the fragments of Jiang Zhaoxue's memories.
Her memories instantly flooded into his mind, and he frantically searched through those four years.
But no.
Not anywhere!
Those four years do not exist in Jiang Zhaoxue's sea of consciousness.
She wasn't lying to him, she really didn't remember.
How is this possible?
Pei Zichen frowned, feeling unwilling.
When the soul of the disciple from Wenjian Villa entered the cycle of reincarnation, Jiang Zhaoxue looked at him with an obviously wrong look in his eyes.
If Jiang Zhaoxue didn't know about those four years, why would she look at him with such pity?
If Jiang Zhaoxue didn't know about those four years, why was she so nervous when he came to the room tonight?
He doesn't believe it.
Pei Zichen opened his eyes and looked at the deep place ahead. After thinking for a while, he walked deeper into the place with perseverance.
Seeing him move forward, Jiang Zhaoxue became nervous for a moment.
The deep place was where she hid her memories, and there was no reason for him to barge in. She was about to drive him out when there was a knock on the door.
Pei Zichen paused for a moment, and Jiang Zhaoxue was also stunned. Then she heard Shen Yuqing's voice coming from outside the door, and asked in a vigilant voice: "Jiang Zhaoxue, are you asleep?"
When Jiang Zhaoxue heard that the person coming was Shen Yuqing, her heart beat faster. Pei Zichen looked up coldly and stared at the silhouette on the window grille.
"Jiang Zhaoxue, if you don't answer, I will come in."
Shen Yuqing's voice, accompanied by the sound of fireworks, could be clearly heard outside the window. Jiang Zhaoxue was so frightened that she almost jumped out of bed, but she quickly controlled herself and begged Pei Zichen to leave quickly.
She couldn't open her eyes now. If she opened her eyes, not only would everything she had just done be in vain, but she would also be unable to explain herself because she had done it intentionally, and all her efforts would be wasted.
Pei Zichen obviously knew her situation. He turned to look at her, his hand climbing up her arm from the sleeve, and his black tentacles penetrated her dress. He whispered, "I won't leave until you open your eyes. Master has seen it..."
Pei Zichen half leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Isn't it bad?"
Anan became anxious: "Master, if Shen Yuqing comes in, it will be over."
Jiang Zhaoxue still didn't speak.
She knew Pei Zichen was not going to give up.
He was just gambling, gambling on that slim chance, testing whether she was awake.
The two of them were at a stalemate when Shen Yuqing's voice rang out from outside the door: "Three."
Jiang Zhaoxue's heart was beating fast.
Pei Zichen stared unwillingly at the woman in front of him who seemed unaware of everything, listening to the increasingly faint sound of fireworks outside.
"two."
Shen Yuqing raised his finger, and the sound of a sword was heard. Pei Zichen's fingers under his sleeves unconsciously clenched.
"one!"
The sound of "one" just appeared, Pei Zichen pulled Jiang Zhaoxue's clothes back to their original state, and at the same time pulled down the bed curtain, and disappeared in an instant!
His aura completely disappeared the moment before, and the next moment Shen Yuqing broke in!
The moment he entered the room, he found it empty. Shen Yuqing looked around vigilantly, then his eyes fell on Jiang Zhaoxue's tightly folded bed curtains. He put away his sword and walked quickly forward.
Listening to Shen Yuqing moving forward, Jiang Zhaoxue swallowed and calmed her overly intense heartbeat. The moment Shen Yuqing opened the bed curtain, she pretended to have just woken up and looked up in surprise.
The two looked at each other and Shen Yuqing was stunned.
Jiang Zhaoxue was sitting on the bed, her silk nightgown clinging to her body, her black hair draped behind her. She seemed to have just woken up and looked a little dazed.
Her eyes sparkled, her lips were extraordinarily gorgeous. Shen Yuqing's throat tightened, and she hastily lowered the bed curtains, explaining, "I just felt someone in your room. When you didn't respond, I thought something had happened to you..."
"oh."
Jiang Zhaoxue tidied her clothes and relaxed a lot. She lifted the curtain and got out of bed. She looked around with a feigned vigilance and frowned, saying, "I was too tired today and fell into a deep sleep. I didn't notice anything."
As he spoke, Mu Jinyue's anxious voice came from outside: "Master, what's wrong?"
Jiang Zhaoxue looked over when she heard the sound and saw Mu Jinyue standing at the door, and behind her...
It was Pei Zichen who had just arrived.
Pei Zichen was dressed neatly, as if he had just woken up. After putting on his clothes, he rushed over and raised his hand to salute: "Master, Master's Wife."
When Jiang Zhaoxue saw Pei Zichen, her muscles instinctively tensed up. She didn't know how Pei Zichen could come so quickly, but Mu Jinyue was already here, so if he didn't come quickly, it would indeed arouse suspicion.
She pretended to be calm and turned her head to look at Shen Yuqing, then continued: "What did you notice just now? I opened the Mountain and River Bell tonight. If someone broke in, I should have noticed it."
It's time to notice.
But Pei Zichen was also her magic weapon, and the Mountain and River Bell did not stop Pei Zichen, which gave him the opportunity to kidnap someone.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhaoxue felt a little itchy and couldn't help but glance at Pei Zichen, thinking that the more magic weapons he had, the more methods he had.
Yuanluo bow... Lingxu fan... I have to find an opportunity to teach them a lesson.
She pondered secretly in her heart, and Shen Yuqing was also a little stunned by her question.
Only then did he realize that Jiang Zhaoxue had opened the Mountain and River Bell.
The Mountain and River Bell is the Penglai artifact. With the Mountain and River Bell, it is impossible for him to sense the situation in Jiang Zhaoxue's room.
He just came over...
It's just intuition.
He couldn't explain why he had such an intuition, and could only say: "Maybe I'm wrong."
When he admitted his mistake, everyone felt relieved.
After everyone was silent for a moment, Pei Zichen took the initiative to speak: "Master, please take a rest first. I will repair the sect."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhaoxue's heart skipped a beat and she couldn't help but curse inwardly: "He's not leaving yet!"
"How could he possibly ask Shen Yuqing to stay and repair the gate?" Anan asked, seeing that Jiang Zhaoxue didn't understand, "Or are you the one who repaired this gate?"
Jiang Zhaoxue was speechless after being asked this question. He sighed and could only say, "Forget it. I can do whatever I want."
She was chatting secretly with Anan, glanced at Shen Yuqing, and urged: "Go to sleep, old man."
As she said this, she walked to the bedside.
Seeing that she was going to sleep, Mu Jinyue bowed and took her leave. Shen Yuqing glanced at her, nodded to Pei Zichen, and went back to her room.
After they all left, Jiang Zhaoxue pretended to be tired and went into the bed curtain. The bed curtain separated her and Pei Zichen, and she finally felt a little relieved, but she still felt that Pei Zichen was looking at her.
Fortunately, Pei Zichen did not take the opportunity to stay longer. After repairing the door with his magic, he stood at the door and said respectfully, "Master's wife, the door has been repaired. I will withdraw first."
Jiang Zhaoxue heard what he said, and seeing that he had no intention of causing trouble, she felt relieved and replied, "Okay, you should have a good rest."
Pei Zichen heard this but did nothing.
Jiang Zhaoxue became alert and couldn't help but worry that he would do something weird again.
As expected, after a while, she heard Pei Zichen's voice: "Master's Wife, ordinary insects fear the cold, but demonic insects do not fear winter. They have been very rampant recently. I have prepared some insect repellent herbs and anti-itching ointment. Please don't mind the trouble, Master's Wife, and use them as soon as possible."
Jiang Zhaoxue was bewildered when she heard this. A demonic insect?
What kind of monster?
Before she could react, she heard Pei Zichen put something down and leave.
When he heard the sound of the door closing, Jiang Zhaoxue realized something in an instant. He immediately rushed out of bed and rushed to the bronze mirror. Sure enough, he saw the red mark on his neck.
Although it was not obvious and was somewhat similar to a mosquito bite, Jiang Zhaoxue still took a deep breath and cursed inwardly, "What a bastard!"
She was not sure for a moment whether Shen Yuqing and Mu Jinyue had seen it, but then she thought, so what if they had seen it? As long as Pei Zichen was not involved and his speed of obtaining the artifact and growing was not disrupted, she would even acknowledge an adulterer.
"I've already decided on a target for you," Anan said. "What do you think of that 'senior'? Shen Yuqing might not be able to find him if he goes looking for revenge, and even if he does, he might not be able to defeat him."
Jiang Zhaoxue rolled her eyes when she heard this, but she also thought it was good.
But it was far from that point at the moment, so she quickly took Pei Zichen's plaster, checked it, and applied it to all the affected areas.
All their belongings are with Pei Zichen, and he is the only one who has this thing. No wonder he took so long to deliver the medicine.
After finishing the work, Jiang Zhaoxue finally breathed a sigh of relief, fell heavily on the bed, and looked at the bed curtains.
"He won't come again, will he?"
Anan jumped to the head of the bed and said, "He's tried so many times, he should have given up, right? We haven't left any loopholes, right?"
"No."
Jiang Zhaoxue looked at the ceiling of the bed and thought of the fireworks just now.
Pei Zichen left when the last firework burned out.
She was a little unsure whether he left because he saw that she had been pushed to the limit, or whether he was just waiting for the last moment when the fireworks burned out.
After watching this fireworks display, I felt like I had fulfilled my promise to spend the New Year with him in the fantasy world.
"He probably won't come again."
Jiang Zhaoxue closed her eyes and turned sideways to hug the quilt.
I wanted to sleep quietly, but after holding back for a moment, I couldn't help but hit the quilt a few times.
A group of people came to her room as soon as they said they would.
When she takes back the Lingxu fan and Yuanluo bow, and becomes a ninth-level destiny master, her words will come true. Anyone who dares to enter her room will be hung up and beaten!
After punching and kicking the quilt, Jiang Zhaoxue finally vented his anger. Feeling relieved, he hugged the quilt again and fell asleep peacefully.
But the two people in the next room had a sleepless night.
Pei Zichen sat in the darkness, watching the fireworks exploding in the air and listening to Lingxu Shan's nagging: "Master, what you did just now was truly too reckless. According to your memory of the True Fairyland, our cultivation techniques are practiced by demonic cultivators. Since you feel that Lady Jiang may have awakened, you should retreat quickly. Otherwise, what if she discovers that you are practicing demonic techniques and joins forces with Shen Yuqing to kill you?"
"I know she's not awake."
Listening to Lingxushan's words, Pei Zichen looked at the fireworks and said calmly: "It's just that I'm lucky."
"How can this be considered a fluke?" Lingxu Shan didn't understand. "If she really woke up..."
"That's the result." Pei Zichen spoke, and everyone was stunned.
"Either kill me or love me. No matter which way you go," Pei Zichen raised his eyes and smiled, "it's a good outcome."
These words startled Yuan Luogong and Lingxushan. Lingxushan reacted and said anxiously, "Master..."
"It was just a momentary impulse," Pei Zichen knew what Lingxushan was worried about. He smiled and comforted her. He turned to look at the phantom of the fireworks that kept blooming and fading, and said slowly, "She went to great lengths to save me, so how could she have wanted it to end like this? My life belongs to her. Since she doesn't want me to die, I shouldn't put her in a dilemma. Besides... I've been here for four years."
Pei Zichen smiled slightly as he looked at the fireworks illusion and murmured softly, "It's not like she deliberately forgot about me. It's enough that she's willing to give me this dream."
Pei Zichen looked at the fireworks, pinched them with his fingertips, and the fireworks went out instantly, and the room returned to darkness.
He sat in the darkness for a long time before he said calmly, "I'll take care of her. I hope she lives a good life."
On the other side, in Shen Yuqing's room, he was sitting on a cushion in meditation.
All that appeared in his mind was Jiang Zhaoxue's appearance just now. She was sitting on the bed, and the entire bed curtain was filled with her fragrance. She looked up at him, her eyes filled with mist.
Every time he thought of this, he would hurriedly open his eyes and enter into meditation again, and after a moment he would see the same scene again.
After trying several times, he simply gave up, stood up, cast a spell on himself, and fell asleep.
The scene in the dream was the same, but this time, unlike when she was awake, he walked up to her and opened her clothes.
A clear, bright red kiss mark appeared on her neck. His pupils shrank sharply and he suddenly woke up.
He gasped softly in the dark, completely unable to control himself, and kept thinking about it.
Is there really a red mark on Jiang Zhaoxue's neck?
Did he see it wrong?
If there is...
Then there may be someone in the room tonight.
But that was the person Jiang Zhaoxue wanted to keep.
The three of them had their own thoughts, but they all fell asleep before dawn.
Jiang Zhaoxue is not a sword cultivator. After working so hard for two days, she couldn't wake up once she fell asleep. She almost slept past lunch when she woke up to the sound of Mu Jinyue knocking on the door.
"Master's wife?"
Jiang Zhaoxue opened his eyes drowsily, looked at the warm light outside the bed curtains, and responded vaguely: "Hmm?"
"Master's Wife," Mu Jinyue hurriedly said after hearing Jiang Zhaoxue's response, "It's past noon. Master asked me to ask if you are okay."
"Hmm..." Jiang Zhaoxue snorted, hugged the quilt, and said after a while, "I'm fine. I'll take a nap for a while and then I'll get up."
Jiang Zhaoxue slowed down as she spoke. Anan jumped out of the quilt and said happily, "Master, a new day has begun! Get up!"
Jiang Zhaoxue yawned and stood up, coming out from the bed curtains. When he crawled out, he saw someone standing outside the window. Judging from her figure, it should be Mu Jinyue.
She just stood at the door and did nothing. Seeing this, Jiang Zhaoxue immediately missed the past.
Not to mention when they were in Penglai and Lingjian Fairy Pavilion, Qingye had always been following her, so when she woke up in the morning, she was never left out like this.
Later, she and Pei Zichen lived outside, and Pei Zichen took on all the work and ensured her food, clothing, housing and transportation. Every day when she opened her eyes, Pei Zichen had arranged everything.
Now that Shen Yuqing was here, Pei Zichen, a male disciple, could not step forward to serve her. Mu Jinyue was Shen Yuqing's sweetheart, so Jiang Zhaoxue sighed and could only stand up and instruct Anan, "Go, get me a handkerchief."
Anand was a little shocked by what he said and pointed at himself with his wings: "Me? A crow? Bring you a handkerchief?"
"Don't worry, you can still throw stones and drink water with your mouth."
Jiang Zhaoxue walked to the basin and washed her face.
Anan had no choice but to go to the side and pick up a handkerchief for Jiang Zhaoxue.
Jiang Zhaoxue quickly washed up and pushed the door open and walked out.
After going out, Mu Jinyue was stunned when she saw Jiang Zhaoxue. She had never seen Jiang Zhaoxue with such simple hairstyle and clothes... not loose, but always a little untidy.
Seeing her stunned, Jiang Zhaoxue put his hands in his sleeves, glanced at her and said, "What are you looking at? Are you stunned by the beauty of Master's Wife?"
"I dare not."
Mu Jinyue heard Jiang Zhaoxue's sarcasm and said hurriedly, "Disciple is waiting here."
"Where are your master and Pei Zichen?"
Seeing no one in the courtyard, Jiang Zhaoxue stepped out. Mu Jinyue followed Jiang Zhaoxue and said hurriedly, "Master is waiting in the lobby for Master's Wife to go out for dinner. Senior Brother just left, saying he was looking for someone."
Jiang Zhaoxue's words sounded a bit strange: "Looking for someone?"
Who would Pei Zichen go to see so early in the morning?
But she would know when Pei Zichen came back soon, so Jiang Zhaoxue didn't think much about it and followed Mu Jinyue out, only to see Shen Yuqing sitting at the table waiting for her.
As soon as Jiang Zhaoxue came out, Shen Yuqing kept looking at her. Jiang Zhaoxue accepted his gaze openly, sat down, and said directly: "Just now it was Mu Jinyue, now look, you two are a couple?"
Mu Jinyue looked a little embarrassed at these words. Shen Yuqing frowned and was also a little embarrassed: "Stop talking nonsense."
Jiang Zhaoxue shrugged and took the porridge from the table.
Mu Jinyue stood behind Shen Yuqing and didn't dare to sit down. Shen Yuqing looked at her and said directly, "Sit down."
After hearing this, Mu Jinyue looked at Jiang Zhaoxue cautiously. Seeing that Jiang Zhaoxue had no objection, she sat down opposite Jiang Zhaoxue, which was next to Shen Yuqing.
Mu Jinyue sat down, and when Pei Zichen came back, there was only a seat left next to Jiang Zhaoxue. He was startled when he saw her from afar, then walked to the table, raised his hand to salute, and said respectfully, "Master, Master's Wife."
"Please sit down." Jiang Zhaoxue pointed to the seat next to him with his chopsticks.
Seeing this, Pei Zichen immediately said, "Disciple, just sit at the next table."
"Tell me what you're doing." Jiang Zhaoxue said, glancing at Mu Jinyue across from her. "Besides, Jinyue is sitting down. Can't you sit down while she sits?"
These words made Pei Zichen pause. He raised his eyes and glanced at Mu Jinyue, as if he felt something was wrong.
Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Zhaoxue said, "Sit down!"
Seeing Jiang Zhaoxue's tone getting serious, Pei Zichen finally thought about it and bowed, saying, "Disciple has something important to report. I apologize for offending Master and his wife."
Having said that, Pei Zichen sat down.
Jiang Zhaoxue immediately asked, "What were you doing so early in the morning?"
"I went to find the list of all the children under the age of fifteen in Shengsi Manor."
Pei Zichen spoke, and Jiang Zhaoxue paused. She held the chopsticks, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.
Shen Yuqing knew what he meant when he heard this, and frowned, saying, "We met by chance, and life and death are determined by karma and fate. Why should we be so obsessed?"
"I am an ignorant disciple, ignorant of the Way of Heaven, and only follow human feelings," Pei Zichen said in a serious tone. He pulled out a list from his sleeve, pushed it towards Jiang Zhaoxue, and said seriously, "There is a twelve-year-old boy named Li Xiuji."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhaoxue's eyes widened instantly.
She looked at Pei Zichen in shock, and instantly remembered the situation four years ago when she sent Li Xiuji away in front of the ancestral altar.
At that time, Li Xiuji, who was only four years old, stayed up all night wanting to hear stories.
He was so young, but he already understood everything. He knew he was about to be sent away, that he was about to leave, so he raced against time to be with her, and only at the last moment did he burst into tears.
His crying was still in his ears, begging Jiang Zhaoxue: "Sister! Don't abandon me! Take me away, I'm very good! I won't bother you! Take me away! I'm scared! I'm scared!"
The crying sounded together with the pleading eyes of the child from yesterday.
Li Xiuji...
It turned out to be Li Xiu Ji!
Jiang Zhaoxue felt a pain in her throat, and guilt instantly overwhelmed her. She clenched her chopsticks, thinking about yesterday. Suddenly, she realized something and said hurriedly, "No, if it was Li Xiuji, how could he have fallen to this point?"
Jiang Zhaoxue looked up in shock: "Where are his adoptive parents? Where is his luck?"
When she saw the child in Shengsi Manor, she had no luck at all.
Moreover, Li Xiuji’s adoptive parents were carefully selected by them, so how could he have fallen to this point?
"This is all the information about him at Shengsizhuang."
Pei Zichen knew what Jiang Zhaoxue was thinking and raised his hand to push the information over.
Jiang Zhaoxue grabbed it and looked at it quickly. Inside was a contract to sell Li Xiuji into slavery.
Li Xiuji was originally a good citizen, but after being sold like this, he became a complete slave.
And the names of his adoptive parents were on the contract that ruined his life.
It was his adoptive parents who sold him.
Jiang Zhaoxue reacted and was instantly furious, then she discovered two indentures.
During these eight years, Li Xiuji was sold three times, and each place he was sold to was more cruel than the last.
His first adoptive parents sold him to a wealthy family as a slave.
Two years later, the family sold him to Nanfeng Pavilion.
However, as soon as he entered Nanfeng Pavilion, he killed someone and was thrown into prison. However, he was bailed out and sold to Shengsizhuang.
"It's said that he brought bad luck to every family he went to, so he had to be resold over and over again. Finally, after he was imprisoned, it was the Life and Death Manor that protected him," Pei Zichen said in a heavy tone. "Because of the murder at Nanfeng Pavilion, the people at Life and Death Manor valued him. He was young and ruthless, so the Life and Death Manor redeemed him and started gambling with his life every day."
A child less than ten years old is locked up with wild beasts, big men, and all kinds of mortals every day to see if he can survive. This is a gamble.
"But he survived every time, and his reputation grew. Many assassin organizations came to him to train him, but the Life and Death Manor refused to let him go, and only expanded the gambling game. He had too many lives on his hands..."
People who are trained in this way cannot grasp any kind of luck.
Jiang Zhaoxue listened and understood. This was why she didn't see any luck in Li Xiuzhi when she met him at the age of twelve.
Because his luck had been strangled by himself in repeated killings.
"But why is this happening?"
Jiang Zhaoxue couldn't help but speak out, but when she spoke, she already had an idea.
Pei Zichen also understood, and he said with certainty: "Because someone is trying to kill such a person of great luck."
Li Xiuji's suffering was not accidental.
Just like Ye Wenzhi’s meeting Zhuang Yan was not a coincidence.
It was no coincidence that Song Wuya was judged as a fake dragon by the Tianji Academy.
Since Li Xiuji was born, when he was determined by all fortune tellers to be destined to be alone, someone had already been creating suffering for him.
It’s just that Jiang Zhaoxue intervened again and again.
When he was born, she won over all the fortune tellers for him, changed his fortune, and made his parents keep him for three years.
When he was four years old, she rescued him from human traffickers, found adoptive parents for him, and kept him alive for a few more years.
But after all, this time...
She couldn't save him.
The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became cold, and Shen Yuqing's eyes wandered between the two of them.
This was a time when he was away, and he needed to think even to understand.
He was upset and felt that he was making a big deal out of nothing, but when he thought about last night, he still felt a little worried.
His eyes swept across Jiang Zhaoxue's neck, but it was empty. He wondered if he was just imagining things, but he couldn't help but let them run wild.
Just lower your eyes and say nothing.
Jiang Zhaoxue thought about it for a while, but still felt unwilling.
She knew Li Xiuji's birth date and time, and hurriedly used Li Xiuji's birth date and time to tell his fortune.
Although Li Xiuji's luck had been stripped away, it didn't mean his fate was over. Although the vengeful demon could kill him in an instant, it was hard to say there weren't other possibilities...
Jiang Zhaoxue held hope in his heart and sprinkled some coins. When the hexagram appeared, Jiang Zhaoxue froze.
Mu Jinyue, who was standing beside him, was a little curious: "Master's wife, what's this?"
"Peeling hexagram."
Shen Yuqing saw it at a glance, raised his eyes to look at Jiang Zhaoxue, and wanted to say something, but when he saw Jiang Zhaoxue's expression, he stopped talking.
Jiang Zhaoxue quietly looked at the hexagram. Pei Zichen beside her looked up at her, thought for a moment and said, "I'll look for it again today."
Jiang Zhaoxue responded softly, and the table fell silent. After a long moment, she stood up and said, "Never mind. I have no appetite. I'll sleep a little longer."
Having said that, she threw away her chopsticks and turned to leave.
Mu Jinyue was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully, "Didn't Master's wife just wake up?"
"She's not sleepy, she's sad."
Shen Yuqing spoke.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Pei Zichen calling softly from the opposite side: "Master."
Shen Yuqing raised his eyes and saw that the usually gentle disciple opposite him had a bit of coldness in his eyes. He looked at him quietly and said, "So you know everything?"
Shen Yuqing paused, not understanding what Pei Zichen was talking about.
He only observed Pei Zichen, and saw this disciple looking at him quietly, saying seriously: "Since Master understands human nature, many things should not be done beyond the rules."
"What do you mean?" Shen Yuqing asked coldly.
Pei Zichen glanced at Mu Jinyue and said, "According to Pavilion Rule 371, when elders eat, younger generations cannot eat at the same table."
"Are you scolding me?" Shen Yuqing was a little unsure.
Pei Zichen raised his eyes and said firmly: "You are bullying her."
Shen Yuqing was stunned, and immediately understood who he was talking about "she".
He stared at the young man in front of him in surprise and doubt, and then he saw Pei Zichen said seriously: "It is an honor for a disciple to be given a seat by an elder occasionally, but if this privilege lasts forever, Master, it would be a violation of the rules."
"That's not the case, Senior Brother." Mu Jinyue finally understood what Pei Zichen was talking about and said hurriedly, "It was when I first came up the mountain that I found it hard to eat alone, so Master..."
"If Master thinks rules are unimportant," Pei Zichen didn't listen to Mu Jinyue at all and said directly, "then why not remove the pavilion rules and have everyone disobey them? This will prevent Junior Sister from appearing too special and causing Master's Wife to misunderstand and get upset."
Mu Jinyue froze when she heard that. Pei Zichen stood up and nodded, saying, "Disciple has other tasks to perform. I will withdraw first."
As Pei Zichen walked out, Shen Yuqing suddenly asked, "Are you the one who's upset, or is he?"
Pei Zichen paused, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Master's wife doesn't understand the rules of cultivation, but I do. Master," he turned his gaze towards Shen Yuqing, "I will not allow anyone to bully her, let alone humiliate her."
"What is your identity?"
Shen Yuqing asked directly.
Pei Zichen was speechless. At that moment, his chest was filled with infinite pain.
He stared at the person in front of him, and under Shen Yuqing's scrutinizing eyes, he spoke with difficulty: "Master's kindness to me is as great as a mountain, and I am grateful for it." Pei Zichen lowered his eyes, "It is difficult to repay her kindness."
Shen Yuqing didn't say anything.
He looked at the young man in front of him, and suddenly thought of what happened in Jiang Zhaoxue's room last night. He subconsciously wanted to ask him why he came later than Mu Jinyue last night.
Mu Jinyue's martial arts skills were not very good, so she should have been slower than him when she heard the noise, but he was one step behind Mu Jinyue.
But before he could speak, he suddenly saw the marriage string on his finger.
Shen Yuqing paused, frowned slightly, and was a little surprised: "Are you married?"
Mu Jinyue looked at what Shen Yuqing had said. She had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but hadn't dared to speak out. Now that Shen Yuqing had asked, she looked a little nervous. It was as if she was afraid of knowing the result, but also wanted to know the result.
Pei Zichen's expression remained unchanged as he said calmly, "Yes."
Hearing this, Mu Jinyue's face turned pale.
Shen Yuqing fell silent.
Since Pei Zichen has tied the knot, it has nothing to do with his guess.
After all, his marriage rope is still in Jiang Zhaoxue's hands, and it is impossible for a person to tie two marriage ropes at the same time.
If it was Jiang Zhaoxue, Pei Zichen wouldn't even be able to connect the marriage rope.
Since it wasn't Jiang Zhaoxue, last night...
Shen Yuqing was annoyed at herself for having such wild thoughts. What kind of person is Pei Zichen? What is Jiang Zhaoxue's identity?
No matter what, it shouldn't be these two people.
Pei Zichen...probably just repaying a favor.
Shen Yuqing's heart relaxed, he nodded, and whispered, "I understand."
Seeing him accept, Pei Zichen raised his hand and saluted: "Disciple will withdraw first."
Turning around and going out, Pei Zichen walked out quickly to continue tracking Li Xiuji's whereabouts. Jiang Zhaoxue sat in the house and told fortunes again.
No matter how many times I divine, it always comes out as the Peeling hexagram.
The Bo hexagram, Li Xiu Ji... is probably gone.
This was her third time meeting Li Xiuji.
It was also her third time meeting Silla Yi.
She had been wondering why Xinluo Yi appeared in Shu, but if Xinluo Yi came here to chase Li Xiu Ji, then it would make sense.
Then why did Xin Luoyi chase after Li Xiuji?
Is she pursuing Li Xiuji, or is she just pursuing someone with great luck?
If it was Li Xiu Ji, then Li Xiu Ji is dead now, so who would be her next target?
Silla clothes...Song Wulan.
Jiang Zhaoxue turned the copper coin in his hand, and thought of the fragments of the sound transmission talisman on the soil, and anger burned in his heart.
This was the first time since she came here that she wanted to kill someone so much.
New Luo clothes.
Jiang Zhaoxue closed his eyes.
She thought of killing Silla Yi and Song Wulan, and cast the hexagram again.
After the hexagram was drawn, the coin spun rapidly on the table but never fell.
Anan watched the coin not fall and couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Hey, why does it keep spinning but never arrive?"
"because."
Jiang Zhaoxue stared at the copper coin and vaguely saw a young man in blue sitting on a stone in the distance, his folding fan gently touching his lips, and he turned to look at her with a smile.
This was the picture Song Wulan sent to her.
She understood what the other party meant and said seriously, "Someone is competing with me for supremacy."
As he spoke, Jiang Zhaoxue slapped the coin over, and the picture disappeared instantly. Jiang Zhaoxue snorted coldly.
What a mess the world is, it can all be destroyed with a slap in the face.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhaoxue turned around and went back to meditate.
By the time dinner came, she had finally calmed down and was about to call Pei Zichen to go out for a good meal. As soon as she went out, she saw Pei Zichen standing at the door and said respectfully, "Master's Wife."
Jiang Zhaoxue was still a little embarrassed when she heard this name.
But he still pretended to be calm and nodded, saying casually: "Are you back?"
Pei Zichen's eyelashes trembled when he heard the words "you're back". He felt a sudden pang of sadness in his heart, but also felt that everything was fine.
He replied softly, "I came back a quarter of an hour ago. I searched along the river and the road again, but only found some tattered clothes."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhaoxue was also expecting it, and nodded: "Build a cenotaph and bury him."
"There's one more thing," Pei Zichen started. Jiang Zhaoxue turned around and heard Pei Zichen say, "Miss Qian is here."
