Chapter 387 Chu Jingxue
Chu Jingyan calmed down for a while and was finally able to speak clearly.
"The Dianxing Sect mainly practices puppetry. Since this technique is unconventional and difficult to practice, the sect has never been very strong. But because puppetry can do things that ordinary techniques cannot, it has always had a place in the Xuanmen sect."
"But five years ago, our sect encountered a powerful enemy, and almost all of us were slaughtered..."
Chu Jingyan's eyes were filled with pain and he was lost in memories.
"Later, I realized that those people were actually targeting me... Dad knew that a catastrophe was coming, so he sent people to escort my sister and me through the secret passage. However, the people who escorted us also died on the way to protect us..."
"But my sister and I finally escaped, hid our identities, and secretly practiced puppetry, hoping that one day we can find the murderer, avenge ourselves, and rebuild the Star Gate."
"Those days were tough, but they were peaceful. My sister Chu Jingxue was extremely gifted in puppetry and made rapid progress. We thought that if we continued like this, we would get what we wanted one day and comfort the souls of our whole family."
“But…” Chu Jingyan closed his eyes tightly and said in a hoarse voice, “The good times didn’t last long. Our enemies discovered our whereabouts. It was only then that I realized that his target had always been me… It was also at that time that I realized that I was actually an adopted child of my parents, and my sister was the true heir of the Chu family.”
"The enemy was too powerful. My sister was fatally injured in order to save me. I desperately took her and finally escaped from the clutches of the enemy, but her injuries were too severe and I was powerless to save her."
"But the entire Chu family was killed or injured because of me, and she was the only one left... I couldn't bear to watch her die for me, so I finally used the forbidden technique..."
His voice became lower and lower, but Yun Qingqing already understood.
"You used the Heavenly Nightmare Technique to lock her soul, didn't you?"
Chu Jingyan's breathing stagnated and he nodded.
"But Tiangong Yansheng can only keep her soul from dispersing, but it cannot save her. I have tried countless methods over the years, but none of them worked. Her body and soul are getting weaker day by day, and there is not much time left..."
Yun Qingqing sighed:
"So someone told you that Xiao Changheng's 10% luck could bring her back to life, and you believed it? And then you tried every possible way to plot against him?"
"..." Chu Jingyan was ashamed, "I have committed a great sin and am willing to die a thousand times to apologize, but she is innocent! I beg you to save her no matter what, for she is the last blood of the Chu family! You are the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens, there must be a way, right!"
Yun Qingqing was stunned: "Huh?"
Chu Jingyan said quickly:
"In the Chu family's secret records, there is a record of you, the benefactor, offering sacrifice to save the world. The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady is a respectful title given to you by later generations. At that time, you were no longer around, so it's normal that you didn't know."
"...Oh." Yun Qingqing knew about this, but she was a little surprised because she didn't expect that the Chu family also secretly recorded the legend of the Queen Mother of the West.
She looked at Chu Jingyan seriously, with a slightly cold expression:
"You know, Elder Tianxuan wants to take away all of Xiao Changheng's luck. If I hadn't stopped them in time, once they succeeded, it wouldn't just be a matter of Xiao Changheng's life."
"If his luck falls into the hands of evil people, it will be a disaster for the world. I don't know how many innocent people will die because of it. Not to mention that you can't save Chu Jingxue at all, even if you are lucky enough to save her, she will be implicated in various consequences, and I'm afraid she may not be able to pay for it even after dozens of lifetimes."
"You were determined to save her at all costs, but you almost ruined her forever!"
Chu Jingyan was struck by lightning, and fell to his knees again with a plop:
"My benefactor's words awakened me from my dream, and I know I was wrong!"
"I would rather exchange my life for another's than let Ah Xue bear the consequences that she shouldn't have to bear!"
"Please give me some advice, sir. How can I save her?"
Yun Qingqing watched as the dark obsession around him began to clear up, nodded and said:
"You are a teachable kid, and fortunately you have not yet been stained with blood. I will help you."
Chu Jingyan's eyes turned red and he kowtowed three times.
"My benefactor, your kindness is too great to be repaid. Please be fair and let me follow you. I will serve you wholeheartedly for the rest of my life!"
"Okay. You just follow me from now on." Yun Qingqing had exactly this idea, so she went along with it and agreed.
This person has good intentions, but he is paranoid. Although his obsession has been temporarily resolved, given his personality, if he is allowed to develop on his own without guidance, he may go astray in the future.
It’s better to keep it by your side and give more guidance.
Chu Jingyan thanked her profusely, stood up and stood in front of her properly, bowed his head and said:
"Owner……"
“Stop!” Yun Qingqing almost choked on her saliva, and the corners of her mouth twitched, “Don’t call me that!”
There is only one word difference between "Master" and "Master", why does it sound so strange?
Chu Jingyan was stopped by her and looked at her at a loss. His handsome face, which was already feminine, looked as innocent as a wounded animal.
"..." Yun Qingqing rubbed his brows fiercely and said helplessly, "After returning to the Imperial Capital, you can first go to the Tianming Pavilion to settle down, and just call me Pavilion Master like them."
"As you wish." Chu Jingyan glanced at her cautiously and said hopefully, "Then... Pavilion Master, can you..."
Yun Qingqing looked at this person who suddenly became unusually well-behaved, laughed and shook her head:
"Let's go, I'll go see your sister."
"Yes!" Chu Jingyan showed a look of joy, and the huge stone in his heart that had been weighing on his mind for a long time was lifted by half.
He had been desperately trying to find a way to save Axue for so long...until today, he finally saw real hope.
Yun Qingqing brought Chu Jingyan out. The disciples who were guarding them were a little surprised, but no one dared to question them.
She sent someone to tell the other elders that she had taken Chu Jingyan in, and then followed Chu Jingyan all the way back to Tianxuan Hall.
On the way, Yun Qingqing got a general understanding of the situation.
Chu Jingyan was registered under the name of Elder Tianxuan as the last disciple.
In fact, it was Elder Tianxuan who saw his abilities and bewitched him to work for him. It was Elder Tianxuan who arranged for him to go to Nanyu to be the national teacher, in order to find the person with the most abundant and pure purple energy from the royal family, and then wait for an opportunity to take action.
However, since Nanyu was the newly emerging fourth largest country, the purity of the royal family's purple energy was not high enough, and they had not been able to choose a suitable candidate.
As a result, not long ago, Xiao Changheng went to Jingguo...
Yun Qingqing glanced at him calmly when she heard this:
"So the assassination in Jingguo was indeed your doing?"
Chu Jingyan's eyelids jumped:
"It was then that I discovered that the regent king of Daliang had an extremely pure purple aura, which led to all the trouble that followed. I really didn't do anything before that!"
Yun Qingqing narrowed her eyes slightly.
She didn't doubt Chu Jingyan's words, but the problem was that if it wasn't him, then it meant that Jingguo's mastermind was still hiding behind the scenes.
Qingfengzi is definitely the first suspect, but in fact it would be easier to deal with him.
What I am most afraid of is that there is still an unknown black hand that has not surfaced yet.
"Master, we're here." Chu Jingyan pointed to a door.
Everyone here called her Master, and "Pavilion Master" sounded too abrupt, so Chu Jingyan just called her that for the time being.
He pushed the door open and made room for Yun Qingqing to go in first.
The room was not big and there was almost no other furniture in it except for a bed in the middle.
Dense runes spread from the bed to the ground and then expanded outward.
The girl lying on the bed had a face so pale that it was almost transparent, her eyes were wide open with no pupils focused on anything.
This girl is the one Chu Jingyan is determined to save at all costs.
Chu Jingxue.
