Liu Xiangnan frowned: "You can't laugh like this to other men. I can guarantee that I don't love other men. But the punishment of imprisonment is a bit severe."
She moved a little further away from him, but took the initiative to intertwine her fingers with his.
"I am a human being. I need to live, work, and socialize. I still have to follow basic etiquette."
She could accept being monitored by him at all times, could accept being deceived by him physically, mentally and emotionally, and could accept being his "crutch" for the rest of her life, but she could not accept that she could not socialize like a normal person.
Without social interaction, people will fall behind and fail to keep up with the times, and they will become useless.
If he changes his mind one day and falls in love with another woman, she will be abandoned and will not be able to survive in this world.
"I don't want to be a dodder. I want to be a tree. Although I can't always protect you from the wind and rain, I want to be by your side, shoulder to shoulder with you. When you're tired one day, I can temporarily protect you from the wind and sun."
This can also be regarded as the inner interaction between the two people.
Lu Xiangbei stared at her deeply, and then asked in a low voice, "Are you sure?"
"Sure." She nodded.
“Even if the road ahead is difficult?”
"I have no fear."
"Even if it means killing someone or doing something bloody?"
Liu Xiangnan was silent, and the bloody murders and so on were all too far away for her.
But she thought about the wealthy families, who would do many unscrupulous things in order to fight for money.
Even if Lu Xiangbei had no intention of harming anyone, he might still be put in danger by others.
She held his hand tightly and spoke her promise.
"I will be your scabbard. When the time is right, I will set you free for a short while, letting your sharp blade lick blood. If your blade breaks, I, the scabbard, can also transform into a sharp blade and avenge you."
Lu Xiangbei smiled.
He felt that at this moment, the two souls truly understood each other.
His young wife, whom he had seen grow up, was the best.
She is neither particularly pampered nor particularly saintly.
She will give him support and a temporary safe haven.
He leaned over and kissed her on the lips, giving her his promise.
"Don't worry, my wife, I won't let your hands get bloody."
Whether as the young lady of the Lu family or as the wife of him, a thousand-year-old snake, he does not need a kind and weak wife.
He has been cultivating her claws, letting her seek revenge, making her a little crueler, so that she will not be bullied at will in the future.
But he never thought of letting her hands be stained with human life.
He can do the dirty work.
Perhaps the two people's souls were compatible, Lu Xiangbei also told Liu Xiangnan the news he got when he came.
"We've found some clues about the two men and women who murdered your master."
Liu Xiangnan immediately sat up straight and held his breath.
"It is indeed related to the Jin family in Kyoto."
Liu Xiangnan's heart skipped a beat. Ever since she learned about the "Kyoto Jin Family", she had searched for it on the forum.
This search revealed that the Kyoto Jin family's power extended to the underworld, the underworld, and the folk underworld. Their industry was so huge that they were treated as guests of honor even abroad. Their strength should not be underestimated.
The Lu family is the leader in City A, but compared to the Jin family in Kyoto, it may not be worth mentioning.
"Based on the clues of several stolen artifacts, after these people left your master's place, they went to several nearby cities and robbed some ancient tombs. A few years ago, the Jin family was crowned the crown prince by the M country in exchange for giving cultural relics to the M country. Now it is reasonable to suspect that the cultural relics given to the M country were taken from this group of people."
"This is against the law, whatever?"
Liu Xiangnan was stunned.
"They acted very secretly, and there's no evidence. If it weren't for Uncle Zhang saying he heard the words 'Kyoto Jin Family,' these criminals would probably have always been considered a lone gang."
Lu Xiangbei said a few more words, and Liu Xiangnan gradually understood.
The appearance of these gangs is not real.
In other words, what Uncle Zhang saw were their disguised faces, not their real faces.
The reason some clues were found was because of the woman carrying two swords.
Her appearance or figure may change, but the two swords remain the same.
Although the two swords were destroyed and abandoned, there were not many women on the road who carried two swords. As the police investigated, they followed the clues and learned the nickname of the woman: Tian Sanniang.
"Now that we know her nickname, it's going to be easy to investigate, right?"
Lu Xiangbei shook his head: "It's not simple, it's said to be dead."
Liu Xiangnan was speechless.
We finally found a clue, but now the person is dead again.
This is a bit too uncomfortable.
"Don't be too sad."
Lu Xiangbei comforted her: "People in their line of work would definitely not die so easily. It is not ruled out that they are faking their death. Besides, the organization that Tian Sanniang followed before is called the Yuan faction, and they are investigating along this clue."
Liu Xiangnan felt that what he said made sense.
How could a person who wanders in metaphysics die so easily?
It is very likely that he faked his death and retired to live a stable life.
She felt it was unfair when she thought about her master's tragic death and that those bad guys might be living a carefree life.
"The key point now is, why did the Jin family in Kyoto send them to find your master? Did they know about the places they stole from before, or did they learn about them from your master? What secrets does your master have?"
