In that barren forest, there was a small courtyard hidden in it. In the courtyard stood a sturdy man with a bright smile on his face, his eyes fixed on Xiao Ning.
However, in sharp contrast, Xiao Ning had a solemn expression on his face, his eyes fixed on the other person. The two of them just stared at each other silently, and time seemed to have stopped.
I don't know how long it took, but finally, Xiao Ning broke the silence. He spoke slowly:
"I have come as you requested. Now, should you give me a reasonable explanation, Xue Lian?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes became as bright as torches, staring at Xue Lian intently, as if trying to see through his outer appearance to see his true inner thoughts.
Hearing Xiao Ning's question, Xue Lian just smiled slightly, then gently put down the axe in his hand, turned around and walked to the water tank beside him, and washed his hands in an orderly manner. After washing his hands, he responded calmly:
"Don't be anxious. You must be very tired after traveling all the way here. You should take a rest first. By the way, Yinli, come out quickly. I will introduce you to a new friend."
After saying that, he shouted loudly into the house.
Not long after, a beautiful woman in plain clothes slowly walked out of the house. As she walked, she asked softly:
"Lian'er, when did your friends come to visit you? Why have I never heard you mention it before?"
With the appearance of this woman, Xiao Ning's already solemn expression became even more solemn. He looked at the woman in front of him with astonishment, his heart full of doubt and shock. Then, he turned his head sharply and cast a questioning look at Xue Lian again, with a hint of disbelief in his tone:
"Could it be that... you really succeeded in resurrecting her?"
Facing Xiao Ning's confused and shocked eyes, Xue Lian raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint but mysterious smile. He looked calm and unhurried, as if he had already expected Xiao Ning to have such a reaction, and then he began to explain calmly:
"Of course, this is beyond doubt. Otherwise, wouldn't the chess game that I spent so much time and effort to carefully arrange be a waste of time and effort?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ning's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. He couldn't help but shout, "How is this possible? Even Sister Rouxue couldn't bring back a person who had been dead for nearly three hundred years! But you actually did it..."
At this moment, Xiao Ning's eyes were fixed on the seemingly weak woman in front of him, and a storm was rising in his heart. Because Jiang Yinli, who had been dead for a long time, was now standing in front of him, alive and well! What surprised him even more was that Jiang Yinli's resurrection was not caused by him, but a miracle that happened without his doing anything!
Thinking of this, Xiao Ning couldn't help but fall into deep contemplation. All the things Xue Lian had done to him over the years came to his mind one by one. He really couldn't understand why Xue Lian had to torture himself so much since he had the ability to revive Jiang Yinli on his own? Was all this just to tease him?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Xiao Ning couldn't help but clench his fists, his nails digging deeply into his palms, as if only this could slightly alleviate the pain and frustration in his heart as if he was being toyed with.
At the same time, Xue Lian, who had been paying attention to Xiao Ning's every move, keenly noticed his emotional changes. So, he gently raised his hand, made a soothing gesture towards Xiao Ning, and said softly:
"Don't get excited yet. Stay calm. Some things are not as simple as they seem. I will explain the reasons slowly. After all, this cannot be explained in a short time."
As he spoke, the man quickly walked to Xiao Ning's side, stretched out his hand and gently put his arm around his shoulders, and pulled him towards the front of the house without saying anything. Xiao Ning suddenly felt an indescribable sense of uneasiness in his heart, as if something was about to happen.
However, in the face of the other party's actions, he did not resist, but obeyed silently, allowing the force to carry him into the house.
When they came close to Jiang Yinli, their eyes met, and a strange spark collided instantly. But after just a brief look, no one said anything more, and the atmosphere seemed a little subtle and awkward.
When you step into the house, the first thing that comes into view is the overall layout of the house. It can be seen that this is a two-bedroom and one-living room residence. Although it cannot be called luxurious, the space is spacious and bright.
There are several comfortable chairs and a square table in the living room, and some necessary furniture is scattered around, making the whole room look full of life and giving people a warm feeling.
Xiao Ning was pushed by Xue Lian to sit on a chair beside him. Just as his body touched the back of the chair, before he could adjust his posture, Jiang Yinli brought him a bowl of water with a smile and gestured to him, as if to tell him that if he was thirsty, he could drink some water to quench his thirst. Then, Jiang Yinli said softly:
"Please wait here for a moment. I'll go prepare the meal." After saying that, she turned and walked towards the kitchen.
At this time, Xue Lian suddenly started to tease, "Yinli, you should just sit in the room and leave the cooking to me. You better not burn the kitchen by accident!"
Hearing Xue Lian's slightly joking words, Jiang Yinli's originally calm face suddenly showed a hint of displeasure, frowned slightly, and responded angrily:
