"Master, what is he going to say? Is Master hiding something?"
Helian Yu asked knowingly, but his face and eyes were full of doubts.
"Looking for something." Xie Rangchen's calm gaze fell on Bai Chao, cold and picky, "He lost the Si mirror, and the demon souls suppressed in his small worlds show signs of escaping."
Bai Chao jumped up suddenly, staring at his face and making unstable movements, which was really... incongruous.
"H-how do you know?"
Helian Yu cast a suspicious look at Xie Rangchen. Based on his shrewd character, she suspected that he did it, but she couldn't figure out his motive.
Bai Chao's suspicious gaze also fell on Xie Rangchen, and his thoughts coincided with Helian Yu's.
Xie Rangchen's eyes twitched: "It's not me."
His words to prove his innocence were too pale and the two did not believe him.
Xie Rangchen sighed slightly, "It was Hongluan. Last time you stole his wine, he got angry and assigned you a matching fate with a demon. He found that he couldn't solve it."
Bai Chao: “!!!”
Shit! When the world was first created, all the demons were women.
but!
Those are our ancestors who killed people without blinking an eye!
It was the ancestor who appeared in the divine book! He was even crazier than Helian Yu! "You, are you kidding me?" Bai Chao was skeptical, expecting something that was not true, "How could I be so unlucky!"
Xie Rangchen glanced at Bai Chao and did not speak again.
Helian Yu was gloating and laughing silently.
Bai Chao was trembling with fear, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind: "You can't be also because of fate..."
"No." Xie Rangchen lowered his eyelashes to hide the darkness in his eyes, "I am the opposite of you."
He was curious and learned the art of numerology from Hongluan, but he didn't expect that he would get himself into trouble.
The first fate he wrote was the one with Helian Yu.
But it is a fatal disaster, one death and one life.
Hongluan couldn't untie the sword, so she advised him to relax, saying that the Chaos Tree was pressing on her and nothing would happen to him.
But he wrote it so overbearingly that she actually jumped out of the Chaos Tree.
When they met for the first time, she transformed into a big running tree and chased him all over Qingqiu Mountain, killing all living things wherever she passed.
He tried to kill her - he was seriously injured and she was so sleepy that she fell asleep.
When they met for the second time, she transformed into a glutton and chased him all over Qingqiu Mountain, leaving wasteland wherever she passed.
He tries to kill him again - he is slightly injured and she is so sleepy that she falls asleep.
When they met for the third time, he consulted the ancient forbidden book, sealed her intelligence, and managed to transform her into a harmless rabbit.
He consulted ancient books and knew that he could not kill her.
So he came up with a bold idea - to teach her to abandon evil and do good.
But his fate was too strong, and he would have the urge to kill her from time to time.
But he knew clearly that she could not die.
Otherwise, the Chaos Tree will wither, and then there will be another catastrophe.
He set up many traps to undo the sins he had committed in the past.
But gradually, he had more desires.
Bai Chao's eyes were complicated as he looked between Helian Yu and Xie Rangchen.
“You’re awesome.”
Unexpectedly, such a bloody drama would happen to Xie Rangchen, who seemed to have practiced the ruthless way.
Bai Chao's desire to watch the fun reached its peak - if he hadn't been forced into a marriage by Hong Luan!
Helian Yu held his chin in his hands and watched the show happily: "Master, you are so miserable~ But what does Master mean by the opposite?"
"Nothing." Xie Rangchen had no intention of speaking frankly.
He didn't think it was glorious.
It was because of his mistake that this injustice occurred, and it is unknown when it will end.
Bai Chao came suddenly and left suddenly.
As the main god, he must go to the small world to suppress the female devil who is ready to make trouble. As for marriage, everything is predetermined.
On the second day of hunting, Helian Yu lost interest in hunting.
"Master, what exactly do you mean? What do you mean by the exact opposite?"
"Master, just tell me, I am obedient and reliable, and I will definitely keep it a secret for you!"
"Who is the master following?"
Helian Yu dug for a long time but couldn't get a single word out of him.
At night, Helian Yu was still restless.
She moved a small stool, sat in front of his bed, and began to nag.
"The fates are opposite, so it's not a marriage match, but a life-and-death feud!" Helian Yu counted on his fingers, "First, exclude me, because there is a huge age gap between Master and me, and Master is very old! And if it was me, Master would have crushed me to death with one finger long ago."
Xie Rangchen: “…”
She is the old one!
Besides, even ten fingers couldn't crush her to death.
"Then we can rule out Siming. She and Hongluan are a pair, and she is not as powerful as our master. As for the fate of life and death, Hongluan will never agree. He will risk his life to solve it."
"Then we can rule out Yue'e. She and Jinwu are a couple, and they don't have much interaction with Master. Their relationship is too bland, so it doesn't seem like they are related."
"And then exclude..."
Helian Yu was very enthusiastic about using the process of elimination, and talked for most of the night, but Xie Rangchen did not respond.
"Master! Are you listening to me?"
"Um."
"Master, which goddess did you offend?" Helian Yu made another bold guess, "Or a man..."
"No." Xie Rangchen's eyes were cold. In order to listen to Helian Yu's chatter, he simply meditated on the bed. Now that he opened his eyes, he had a bit of the compassion and ruthlessness of a Buddha statue. "Those words were used to scare Bai Chao and make him leave. I have never been entangled with anyone."
"...So, Master, you made me talk nonsense for most of the night?!"
Helian Yu jumped up from the small stool and punched Xie Rangchen on the shoulder with his hard little fist.
Hit it again and again.
Not heavy.
But it doesn’t stop.
"Big liar! Big liar!"
"You'll just lie to me!"
"You're so annoying!"
Helian Yu turned around and ran out, looking very angry.
Xie Rangchen gathered his robes and calculated quickly with his slender fingers.
Then, he closed his eyes and sighed.
Helian Yu, who had already run away, did not forget about this matter.
She had a feeling that her master's words were half true and half false.
However, she couldn't tell what was true and what was false.
After dozens of days of hunting, it was already October when we returned to Beijing.
Helian Yu originally wanted to continue to find out about her master's true strength, but due to the busy affairs of Zhaoyang County, various advanced technologies and officials specially sent by the emperor to study who came to ask for advice from time to time, she had very little free time.
These busy days finally came to a halt when the first snow fell.
In the Imperial Master's Mansion, except for the Four Seasons Courtyard with different scenery, the rest of the courtyards are covered with snow, like glutinous rice dumplings coated with icing sugar, soft and pure.
At this time, Helian Yu had grown a lot taller and had some soft flesh on his body. He could still look rosy even standing in the snow.
Helian Yu stood under the bare tree, stroking the grain of the tree with his fingers.
There were familiar footsteps behind me.
She turned around and said, "Master."
"Um."
"Master loves to wear dark clothes every winter." Helian Yu leaned lazily against a tree. Her scarlet robe was embroidered with phoenixes, which looked lifelike. She was wearing a white cloak, which made her look noble and agile. "Is it so that if she falls in the snow, she can be seen by others and helped up?"
"Black and inky colors are better at hiding blood stains."
Helian Yu got excited and circled around Xie Rangchen: "Master, did you peek at my notebook?"
Xie Rangchen changed into a black robe, and his lazy and sinister look was faintly visible, which was a bit annoying to Helian Yu.
