Chapter 186 The day after tomorrow, Spring Banquet
Furthermore, she had spoken with Jiajia in that space, so why did she only see her mother and witness some strange scenes before waking up in Kyoto?
Shen Pingjin couldn't understand it no matter how hard she tried.
Yan Jue had just pushed open the door when he saw Lu Qingjia walk away and the woman who had just woken up buried her head in the quilt.
A faint smile played at the corners of her lips.
She must have been in a deep sleep and lost her senses; he just walked in like that and she didn't even notice.
“Chenping Brocade”.
A familiar voice suddenly came through the quilt. Upon hearing this voice, Chen Pingjin subconsciously got out of bed.
Before her skin could even come into contact with the air, her shoulder suddenly touched a large, burning hot hand, the heat instantly suppressing the frustration in her heart.
She suddenly felt the world go quiet.
The man, who usually wore black, was dressed in a white brocade robe today, with a fine mandarin duck pouch hanging at his waist, and a gentle smile in his unfathomable eyes.
When Shen Pingjin saw the mandarin duck pouch hanging at her waist, she was stunned.
An unnatural blush rose to her face.
"Yan Jue, you..."
Before Shen Pingjin could finish speaking, Yan Jue simply said, "Hmm."
So he already knew...
Shen Pingjin had a thousand words she wanted to say to Yan Jue, but when she met his dark eyes, she finally couldn't help but surrender.
"Yan Jue, that day, did you use the brocade to rescue Jiajia and me?"
Yan Jue had noticed Shen Pingjin's hesitant expression long ago and was waiting for her to speak, but he didn't expect her to ask directly.
Yan Jue did not deny it, but the look in his eyes deepened.
Shen Pingjin was surprised that Yan Jue didn't speak, and her expression suddenly froze.
Because she had been in a coma for several days, her lips were somewhat pale, her eyebrows and eyes were pale, and her eyes were moist, as innocent and pure as a fawn's.
Yan Jue shook his head, then suddenly grabbed the woman's chin with his large hand and looked her into the eyes.
He seemed a little angry.
"You just woke up and this is the first thing you ask? Why don't you care about me?"
"?"
Shen Pingjin was stunned.
Yan Jue became even angrier when he saw that Shen Pingjin remained silent.
But then he remembered that the woman in front of him had just woken up, so he decided not to make a fuss about it.
Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly heard a "pfft" laugh.
Yan Jue raised his eyes, his handsome brows furrowing slightly. "What are you laughing at?"
But his eyes met the woman's bright gaze.
"Yan Jue, I just woke up, and you're already jealous?"
Shen Pingjin found it somewhat amusing; how come she had never noticed before that this man was so jealous?!
Yan Jue's face instantly darkened. "I'm not jealous."
Oh dear, still being stubborn.
When Yan Jue arrived, the deep sense of powerlessness that Chen Pingjin felt, a feeling of being out of control, vanished in an instant.
Shen Pingjin couldn't help but think that Yan Jue was somewhat adorable.
"Okay, okay, you're not jealous."
Shen Pingjin nodded and continued, "Yan Jue, did you save me and Lu Qingjia?"
Yan Jue's gaze suddenly darkened, and Chen Pingjin, seeing this, burst into laughter in her heart.
She suppressed a laugh, trying to keep her expression calm. "Yan Jue, why aren't you saying anything? I'm asking you a question!"
Yan Jue was about to get angry, but then he remembered that he had just said he wasn't jealous, so he answered expressionlessly.
"It was I who saved you, and I have come here today to tell you about this matter."
Was it just to tell her this?
Shen Pingjin was very puzzled, but she still patiently asked, "What is it?"
"Actually, it was Chu Jin who saved you."
Yan Jue said coldly.
"Mainly producing brocade? What do you mean by that?"
Yan Jue: "At that time, I was engaged in a fierce battle with Xumi and the Pavilion Master of the Illusionary Shadow Pavilion and was temporarily unable to escape. I had no time to worry about you being captured by Hua Er. I was anxious, but at the critical moment, the sword named Chu Jin on your body suddenly flashed into my hand."
"Those two men were no less skilled than me. I had to use all my inner strength to fight them. Naturally, my inner strength would eventually run out. But I never expected that once the hilt of the sword called Chujin was in my hands, I would feel as if I had endless power."
"The Pavilion Master of the Illusion Pavilion and Sumeru tried to stop me, but I directly used the Brocade Sword to injure them with a single strike."
"I then flashed directly to Hua'er's side. Strangely enough, I don't have this ability, but once the sword called Chu Jin came into my hands, I seemed to have this ability."
"But after rescuing you two, that feeling of endless power disappeared. Mei Lan Zhu Ju and the other two arrived late. I knew that I couldn't offend the Pavilion Master of the Illusion Pavilion for the time being, so I asked Mei Lan Zhu Ju and the other two to take you back to the carriage. I also searched the Illusion Pavilion for a few things and then returned to the carriage."
Yan Jue took out the brocade tassel that was clipped behind his back. "Only at that moment, when I held it in my hand, did I have that wonderful feeling. No matter how much I touched it afterward, I never had that reaction again."
Yan Jue looked at Chen Pingjin with a complicated expression: "Just now, Chen Pingjin emitted light again. I know that something must have happened to you, so I came here to see if anything had happened to you."
"As expected, you've woken up. It was this sword that reminded me to come find you."
After hearing what Yan Jue said, Shen Pingjin was completely stunned.
She suddenly remembered something important, "Yan Jue, I've been unconscious for several days?"
Yan Jue gave Shen Pingjin a strange look, but still answered, "Three days."
"We returned to Kyoto the day before yesterday. After rescuing Lu Qingjia from the Illusion Pavilion, nothing else happened along the way."
It turns out I've been unconscious for three days...
Shen Pingjin looked surprised. So, she had only seen her mother once in the chaotic space, and the outside world had only been three days?
Shen Pingjin thought that she must be fully conscious and take the test again next time.
"The Spring Banquet is the day after tomorrow. I was planning to ask Emperor Anqing for an explanation, but I didn't expect you to wake up today."
Noticing the ambiguous look in the man's eyes, Shen Pingjin suddenly felt a surge of inexplicable emotions.
He even started to stutter when he spoke.
"The day after tomorrow, the spring banquet is in two days?"
Shen Pingjin didn't seem to have recovered from the end of her incognito visit.
Yan Jue raised an eyebrow: "Shen Pingjin, have you forgotten what you promised me last time?"
How could Shen Pingjin not remember? But she blushed, shook her head, and denied it outright.
"What? What did I promise you?"
