Chapter 696 Master, I was wrong
The black air wave squeezed the air and rolled towards her.
At the critical moment, Jiang Xuxu was grabbed by the arm and pulled into his arms.
The familiar golden light enveloped her.
Chu Beihe held her and turned her around, holding her tightly in his arms, while blocking the black air wave with his back.
The Bixi jade piece that had just absorbed the jade spirit's aura seemed to have a response, and the jade body suddenly released a huge tortoise shell barrier that enveloped everyone.
At the same time, the sound of the explosion echoed throughout the building.
Everyone around them poked their heads out from every corner in surprise, wanting to know what happened.
There were also customers waiting for seats at the hot pot restaurant who were curious and wanted to approach, but were immediately stopped by the enthusiastic and thoughtful staff.
"Just sit down, I'll go ask for you!"
After saying that, he ran away with nimble legs.
On this side, the reception room was in a mess.
The barrier that Jiang Xuxu had originally landed on Jiang Han and Yu Ling was melted into streams of black water like the previous talismans.
The black water slid down from the upright barrier of the Bixie and landed on the floor, and black smoke suddenly came out.
Because the system was flying too high before, it could not be covered by the barrier of the Bixie. The originally thick black mist around it was blown away to only a shallow layer, and now there was a lot of black water on the back of the turtle.
Jiang Xuxu struggled out of Chu Beihe's arms immediately after the explosion. She first pulled him to check carefully, and noticed the familiar tortoise shell barrier covering her head. Then she breathed a sigh of relief.
But she couldn't help but glare at Chu Beihe.
It was the second time.
This man always suddenly ran out and took the initiative to take the damage for her.
The last time, he blocked the fire thunder of the heaven for her.
This time again...
"I'm fine."
Chu Beihe paused, and then said in a deep voice,
"I'm fine, and I don't want you to be in trouble either."
"I can protect myself."
Jiang Xuxu still stared at him closely, "Unless you don't trust me."
Chu Beihe was helpless and softened his tone,
"Okay, there won't be a next time."
Jiang Xuxu finally relaxed his expression, let go of his worries, and looked at Jiang Han and the Jade Spirit on the ground.
After the black smoke dissipated, the eerie figure disappeared from the room. It seemed that he ran away before the explosion.
Jiang Han was fine next to the Bixi, but the Jade Spirit on the ground was not in a good condition. The main body was damaged, and the spirit's aura was much weaker...
[And me...]
The system's voice came weakly, and Jiang Xuxu remembered that he had missed one.
Following the sound, he found the system lying on the floor, with a faint black gas on its back.
It was the evil spirit that was released after the black mist ball exploded.
Obviously, the explosion was not the purpose, but the evil spirit was the root cause.
After sticking a talisman on the back of the system, Jiang Xuxu quickly set up a formation in the room.
To prevent the evil spirit from spreading and affecting the surroundings, the formation had to be used to seal it up.
While Jiang Xuxu was busy, Mr. Shen and the manager of the jade shop heard the noise and ran over. Looking at the messy explosion scene in the reception room, their expressions were very tangled.
Chu Beihe walked straight forward and said,
"The losses here will all be reimbursed by the Chu family. If you want to change stores directly, I will ask my assistant to come over and you can contact him directly."
Shen Shao naturally recognized Chu Beihe, and he hurriedly said,
"This small loss doesn't need to be compensated. I should be thankful that President Chu and Master Jiang didn't get into trouble here. No, really no."
Shen Shao waved his hands repeatedly, and Chu Beihe didn't say much to him. He turned around and asked his assistant to come over to handle it.
While the two were talking, Jiang Xuxu had already finished handling it. Seeing the police car and fire department rushing over, he called the Security Bureau to handle it.
After solving these problems, he walked to the corner and looked at Yu Ling, who was dying.
Her spiritual body was damaged and her spiritual energy was lacking. Although she was not affected by the explosion just now, because her aura was too weak, she was also stained with some resentful and evil spirits.
As if she knew that she would not have a good ending, she simply lay there and smiled weakly at Jiang Xuxu,
"Are you going to take me in?"
Jiang Xuxu did not answer her question, but asked,
"You and Mr. Nian got so many fake jade antiques, is it to replace the original authentic ones and absorb the spiritual energy in those authentic ones?"
"Don't you have the answers? Why are you still asking..."
Yu Ling's voice was lazy, as if she didn't want to talk anymore.
Jiang Xuxu looked at her for a while, and suddenly said,
"You are a jade spirit, and you know that the aura in the jade that has been passed down for many years is different from ordinary jade, but do you know that people, especially craftsmen who make a living by creating, also have aura?"
Jiang Xuxu saw her looking at him, and then continued in a calm voice,
"The aura of a craftsman is also called inspiration by ordinary people, but the aura of a person will not disappear without reason.
When you cooperated with Mr. Nian, didn't you think that in addition to absorbing the aura from those jades, he might also absorb the aura from that person?"
When Jiang Xuxu said this, the pupils of the jade spirit, which had been allowed to weaken, trembled suddenly.
Then, the bottom of her eyes, inch by inch, showed waves of disbelief.
"No, impossible..."
Her voice trembled, and her spirit body seemed more and more fragile.
If what she said was true, then her master's suicide was...
"You lied to me!"
She glared at Jiang Xuxu with red eyes, "You said this because you wanted me to betray Mr. Nian..."
"Believe it or not,"
Jiang Xuxu said, "but there is one thing I can tell you with certainty."
Yu Ling thought she was going to say something provocative again, but she spoke softly and slowly,
"You said before that you were a replica, but you may have forgotten one thing -
there are no two leaves in the world that are exactly the same. Similarly, I don't think there are two jade cabbages in the world that are exactly the same.
Rather than saying that you are a replica, I believe that you are the last work that the man made before he lost his spiritual energy, and the one that truly gave him spiritual energy."
Otherwise, she couldn't explain why a fake could be transformed so smoothly without any evil spirit on it.
Yu Ling was stunned after listening to her words. She was already stunned in the same place.
The inexplicably gentle look that the man gave her before he committed suicide flashed through her mind.
She always thought that she was not destroyed by him because she was an insignificant replica.
But what if it wasn't?
If, as Jiang Xuxu said, she was actually the last work he left in the world with his soul attached...
then all the things she did for Nian Sixu...
would he be angry?
Tears rolled down her eyes uncontrollably, and Yu Ling trembled violently. The next second, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Wuwuwu..." She
sobbed and cried like a child.
She thought, if that person was still alive, he would definitely be very disappointed in her, right?
She really did something wrong.
Master...
I was wrong.
