Chapter 9: Sure enough, he didn't kill her
The pale moonlight squeezed through the dark clouds and fell on the earth again.
There was complete silence all around, and everyone was speechless after Wei Changtian's "choose one of two happiness" operation.
On one side is his own life, and on the other side is the life of the woman who loves him deeply.
The difficulty of this choice is no less than the classic life-threatening question in the previous life: "Your mother and I fell into the water at the same time."
“…”
Xiao Feng gritted his teeth and stared at Wei Changtian, the hatred in his eyes becoming more and more intense.
He knew that Wei Changtian wanted to destroy his heart and Lu Jingyao's heart.
But he had no choice.
It was not until this moment that Xiao Feng deeply realized that open conspiracy is actually more terrifying than secret conspiracy.
“Crunch.”
The sound of his teeth rubbing against each other was a bit harsh, and he remained silent for a long time.
Instead, Lu Jingyao, who had just recovered from her shock, was the first to shout in panic: "Master Xiao! Don't bother me!"
"If you hadn't rescued me that time, I would have died long ago!"
"I am very happy to see you at the Wei family today. I will die without regrets!"
"Just think of it as Yao'er returning this life to you, young master..."
Fear of death is human instinct, and no one is truly not afraid of death.
Lu Jingyao was the same, her trembling voice was now filled with fear.
But she still looked up firmly and took one last look at Xiao Feng, then suddenly reached out to grab the sword in Wei Changtian's hand.
It was obvious that this silly woman was afraid of putting Xiao Feng in trouble, so she planned to end her life.
well.
Sighing secretly, Wei Changtian dodged slightly, and Lu Jingyao missed her and fell to the ground with a plop.
Two cloth-clad guards who were more observant immediately stepped forward and held her down, while Wei Changtian also turned his gaze to Xiao Feng.
"My patience is limited. I will give you three more seconds."
"If you still don't have an answer after three puffs, then both of you will die."
"Three, two..."
"Do you keep your word?"
Xiao Feng suddenly raised his head with a gloomy face.
Wei Changtian smiled gently: "Of course."
"Well then..."
Xiao Feng took a deep breath, not daring to look at Lu Jingyao, but lowered his head and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth with difficulty.
"Yao'er, I'm sorry..."
“…”
Lu Jingyao's face turned pale in an instant. She felt as if all the strength in her body had been suddenly drained away. She didn't know whether she should cry or laugh.
This result is indeed "just what she wants", but...
Lu Jingyao was not surprised that Xiao Feng made such a choice, because just when she failed to snatch the sword, she clearly saw the flash of disappointment in Xiao Feng's eyes.
An unprecedented feeling of despair surged in my heart.
At this moment, she finally understood the true meaning of the sentence "I originally turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon only shines on the ditch."
He closed his eyes and stopped looking at Xiao Feng.
Something in my heart seemed to be broken...
On the other hand, Xiao Feng didn't have the face to say anything cruel like "I will definitely avenge you". Instead, he slowly got up from the ground and walked out of Wei's mansion step by step with his seriously injured body in an extremely lonely manner.
He walked very slowly, seemingly completely unprepared for the people behind him... In fact, he had no ability to be on guard at all.
If he wants to survive now, he can only hope that Wei Changtian will keep his promise.
"Son! Are you really going to let him go?"
Qin Caizhen on the side was a little anxious.
"Of course."
Wei Changtian smiled slightly and thought to himself that I must be crazy to let Xiao Feng go.
A good villain is one who goes back on his word and has no integrity.
He turned his head to look at Wei Xianzhi and said seriously: "I always keep my word! Right, Dad?"
The word "I" was emphasized, and Wei Xianzhi, who was also a villain, understood the meaning and laughed out loud:
"Hahahaha!"
"Xiao Feng! Although my son let you go, I didn't say I would let you go!"
"Die!"
“Whoosh!”
The invisible palm wind whistled towards the staggering figure, and it was estimated that there would be a bloody firework in the next second.
Looking at this scene, everyone present had different thoughts in their minds.
Xiao Feng: Damn it! If I had known this would happen, I should have acted more righteously! Wei Changtian: Finally I heard the "jiejie" laugh that only villains can make! Wei Xianzhi: Changtian is not soft-hearted, not bad! He has a bit of my style back then!
Qin Caizhen: Humph! My husband actually said I was old! So annoying! Everyone in the Buyi Guards: The commander is so shameless! Lu Jingyao: I am so heartbroken that I can’t breathe…
"Bang!!"
No matter whether everyone was happy or sad at this moment, the palm of the void with the power of the third level would not change because of this. In the blink of an eye, it hit Xiao Feng's back hard.
it's over.
Wei Changtian breathed a sigh of relief, but what happened the next second made his eyes widen again.
The expected scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere did not appear. Instead, a ball of green light came out from nowhere and suddenly enveloped Xiao Feng's entire body at the last moment, and also eliminated Wei Xianzhi's palm into nothingness.
Everyone opened their mouths wide, stunned by this bizarre scene they had never seen before.
“Swish! Swish, swish, swish!”
Without waiting for Wei Xianzhi's order, several guards in plain clothes kicked the ground and rushed over there.
But before they ran halfway, the green light suddenly disappeared again.
The place was empty, and there was no trace of Xiao Feng.
…
In a dark room.
Wei Changtian sat at a wooden table. There was a night-light hanging on the wall that was always on. In front of him were two halves of broken jade, the cracks of which could just be put together.
"Changtian, tomorrow I will have someone look through all the ancient books in the department to see if they can find any clues about this thing."
Wei Xianzhi frowned, and it seemed that he couldn't recognize the origin of this jade token.
Not only can it automatically protect its master by blocking an attack from a third-grade realm, it can even "shift the universe". This is simply the legendary treasure of the immortals!
Fortunately, judging from Xiao Feng's reaction, he probably didn't know how awesome this thing was, and he probably got it by chance.
"It's okay, son. Xiao Feng has been hit by my broken flower palm. Even if he escapes temporarily, he will still die if there is no first-class Danxin Saint Hand to treat him immediately."
"And even if he is lucky enough to survive, he will only survive for a little longer. Sooner or later, his power will be exhausted and he will die."
Seeing that Wei Changtian had a sad face, Qin Caizhen also comforted him softly.
However, the couple did not know that Wei Changtian was not worried about not being able to kill Xiao Feng, nor was he worried about what the jade token was.
At this moment, his mind was full of one question - where did this jade pendant come from?
If I remember correctly, Xiao Feng got his first life-saving item in the middle of the novel, and it was an iron Ruyi.
As for this ordinary jade plate... I don't even remember it appearing until the end of the novel!
Could it be that I forgot it? After all, I read online articles at a glance, so it is normal that I can't remember some details.
Or...has my "abnormal" behavior already produced a butterfly effect?
It seems that there are only these two explanations.
After pondering for a while, Wei Changtian raised his head and looked at Wei Xianzhi and Qin Caizhen.
No matter what, hunting down Xiao Feng is still the top priority at the moment.
I want to see the body whether he is dead or alive!
For this reason, he doesn't mind continuing to leak some of the plot in advance.
"Dad, do you still remember the salt smuggling case that Hualingwei handled three years ago? An entire family was wiped out for it."
"this……"
Wei Xianzhi was stunned. He didn't understand why his son said this, and he didn't even remember such a small case as "smuggling salt".
The three guards and three offices of the Xuan Jing Division have to handle countless cases and kill countless people every year. How could he, the top leader, possibly remember them all?
"Why are you asking this? What does it have to do with Xiao Feng?"
"That family's surname is Xiao."
Wei Changtian paused for a moment, and in the surprised eyes of Wei Xianzhi and Qin Caizhen, he answered in a deep voice: "When the Hualing Guards raided Xiao Feng's house, Xiao Feng happened to be traveling abroad..."
