Chapter 12 Chapter 12 I don’t care how expensive the betrothal gift is…

"Sir, this is a free chicken soup from our restaurant." The waiter pushed open the door, put down the soup, and saw a man sitting in front of a bronze mirror with half white hair. He was stunned and immediately changed the topic, "Old sir, may I ask who you are..."

The other person turned around with an unhappy look.

The waiter looked at the other person in astonishment. His face was as small as a palm, his complexion was pale and his lips were thin. He looked exactly like a young gentleman.

But those eyes were like the rising sun, glowing red.

The waiter didn't dare to look directly into those eyes, and left the room trembling with fear, his heart pounding - the young man had still had black hair when he checked in yesterday, so how could he...

Did you not get enough sleep? Look at your eyes, they are red from staying up all night!

Dong Ying rushed back from outside and said as soon as he entered the door: "Wen Jingcheng has returned to Xiajing Sect."

"Yeah." Wei Xin looked down at his white hair and always felt that it was whiter before.

When he was young and could not control the Red Blood Pearl, his body became empty and his hair often turned white. Later, his condition improved and his hair turned white only when he activated the Red Blood Pearl.

After experiencing the thunder tribulation this time, whenever he used the Red Blood Pearl, his hair would turn white and the recovery time would become longer and longer.

He still remembered the last time Yun Du discussed the backlash of the Red Blood Pearl with him, he didn't take it seriously and was thinking of living and dying together with the Red Blood Pearl.

But at this moment I feel a little hesitant.

What if the Red Blood Pearl killed him before he could rewrite the ending?

"My lord, this chicken soup is..." Dong Ying asked, pointing at the chicken soup on the table.

“It was delivered from the store.”

"I'll pour it over now." Dong Ying knew that he would not eat it, so he picked it up and walked out.

"Wait." Wei Xin stood up, walked over, lowered his head, drank more than half a bowl of soup, and then said, "Go."

"My Lord, why did you drink it?" Dong Ying asked in confusion.

"To replenish my body."

"?"

Dong Ying subconsciously looked at his stomach. Wei Xin punched him. He swallowed the blood rolling out of his throat. He dared not look around anymore and went to pour the soup obediently.

Wei Xin closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing. When he rescued Wen Jingcheng last night, he deliberately activated the Red Blood Pearl and observed its changes.

The cracks in the red blood bead didn't seem to change. After all, he only used a little bit of strength.

But there were slight changes in my body. I seemed to sleep well that night, and even felt a little tired.

In the afternoon, he was resting in the room when he suddenly opened his eyes—Xu Shun and Yun Jin came.

The two of them were just outside the door and were taken into the guest room opposite by the waiter.

He opened the book and picked out a brief sentence from a pile of plot memories - Yun Jin remembered the second time he met Wen Jingcheng, when he was just starting out and had just become a direct disciple of the Xiajing Sect. How vivid he was.

Presumably, these two came to watch Wen Jingcheng's apprenticeship ceremony, but the book did not mention that Xu Shun also came.

Good boy, you are quite cunning.

Wei Xin listened attentively to what was happening in their room. Both of them were injured. After Yun Jin recovered, he went out to find out the news about Xia Jing Sect and Wen Jingcheng, while Xu Shun stayed in the room to apply medicine to himself.

Xu Shun's body has not fully recovered yet, but he does not want to drag Yun Jin down, so he has been forbearing and restraining himself from telling others about his condition. He can only hide away to heal his injuries.

"Tsk tsk tsk." Wei Xin couldn't understand why these people were so upset.

He walked across and opened the door.

Xu Shun was startled, turned around, and saw that it was him. With new and old grudges added together, he picked up the sword and prepared to duel with him.

"I'm not here to take your life, I'm here to help you," said Wei Xin.

Xu Shun turned a deaf ear to him, and was deeply terrified of his ability to deceive people with his lies. Even his master, who was free from worldly desires, was fooled by him, let alone himself. So he directly put a closing note on himself, blocking out all the sounds he heard, and stabbed him without hesitation.

"Well, in that case, I'll just see you off." Wei Xin grabbed his wrist and threw him into the formation to check on his cultivation.

Sure enough, the two forces in the body are colliding. If the breathing is adjusted properly and the two are combined into one, there will be a big breakthrough.

But Wei Xin was in trouble at this moment.

He really wanted to inject a little more of his own internal energy, as the confrontation between the three forces might directly cause Xu Shun to explode and die.

But according to previous experience, every time he pushed Xu Shun closer to death, the kid would rebound and improve his skills, which might even backfire.

Moreover, if Yun Du had not deceived him, this kid might really be the nemesis of the Red Blood Pearl. After all, he is the chosen one.

Apart from the method in the original book of killing him first and then destroying the Red Blood Pearl, is there any other way?

He was a little unsure what to do.

Seeing that he was hesitant to take action, Xu Shun gritted his teeth and stood up. He encountered strong resistance in the formation. Every step he took was painful like a drill, but he walked more and more firmly.

Wei Xin looked at him thoughtfully, and for a moment he suddenly understood why he was the chosen one.

It takes extraordinary courage to have such courage.

He pointed his finger, and a small flame ignited Xu Shun's closed note.

"You idiot, what's the point of secretly healing your wounds and pretending to be strong? You have to make that woman feel bad."

When Xu Shun heard him say this, he was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was almost misled by his words. His ability to deceive people with his lies was indeed very strong!

He put aside all distracting thoughts, made a decision, and attacked Wei Xin with unstoppable force.

Wei Xin tilted his head slightly and easily avoided the attack, but a strand of hair fell off.

Wei Xin looked at the strands of hair as if he saw his own end.

Outside, the sound of Yun Jin's footsteps was heard. Wei Xin came to his senses and slapped him on the chest. Xu Shun fell backwards, hit the wall, and fell to the ground, splashing a cloud of dust.

Yun Jin immediately chased in, and when he saw the injured Xu Shun, his face changed. He immediately helped him up and asked what happened.

Xu Shun coughed a few times and looked at Yun Jin's worried eyes. The words that Wei Xin left before he disappeared suddenly emerged in his mind - idiot, let her see your injuries.

Intellectually, he knew that he should not be deceived by the devil.

However, he really liked the look in his Master's eyes at that moment and was almost drowning in it.

Yun Jin glanced at the traces of fighting around him and immediately guessed, "Did Wei Xin come here?"

Xu Shun nodded.

"Where is he? I'll go find him now!" Yun Jin stood up and was about to chase him, but he heard Xu Shun coughing uncontrollably. He decided to give up the chase for the time being and helped him up to treat his injuries.

Because of this delay, I missed the apprenticeship ceremony of Wen Jingcheng.

Wen Jingcheng waited for a whole day but Yun Jin didn't show up, and he felt very disappointed.

Late at night, he was practicing in his room when he felt someone break in. He opened his eyes and saw Wei Xin sitting opposite him.

"What is it?"

"Come and see the excitement."

"What's the fuss?"

"I heard that you were disqualified as a closed disciple?"

Wen Jingcheng remained silent.

Last night, his fellow disciples saw Wei Xin injuring people with their own eyes. The person who hurt Wen Jingcheng was left with no intact body, but he returned unscathed. They believed that Wei Xin was colluding with the devil and would not allow him to be their last disciple no matter what.

"Your fellow disciples are jealous of you, and your master doesn't trust you. What are you still doing here?" Wei Xin asked.

"Waiting for someone."

"Waiting for Yun Jin?"

Wen Jingcheng raised his head in surprise.

"No need to wait, she is healing her beloved disciple and can't come."

Wen Jingcheng lowered his eyes dejectedly.

"You stay in this remote place, it's hard to see her, it's better to leave here and find a new place."

"Although you saved my life, I will not let you do whatever you want, and I will not go to Xuanji Sect. She hates people from Xuanji Sect the most."

"Don't be so conceited. We in Xuanji Sect don't accept everyone." Wei Xin sneered.

"So where do you want me to go?"

"Qingguan Zong. Don't you want to be closer to her, so you can be with her every day?"

"But she brought me to Xiajing Sect and asked me to practice well here."

"In your current situation, can you still cultivate well here? She is thousands of miles away, and she doesn't know what kind of life you are leading in the Xiajing Sect. You are so far away, it's hard to even see each other. Aren't you afraid that others will get the upper hand?"

Wen Jingcheng said nothing.

But Wei Xin could see that he was moved.

"If I go to the Qingguan Sect, the rumor of my collusion with you will definitely spread. Will they still be willing to take me in?" Wen Jingcheng asked.

"I don't know about others, but there is one person for whom it might be possible."

"who?"

"Another person who is in league with me."

"Who?" Wen Jingcheng asked curiously.

Wei Xin smiled suddenly: "A strange person who does things unconventionally may be able to take you in."

The confinement in Yundu has ended.

When I opened the door, I saw a backpack placed at the door. It was filled with wild flowers of various colors, blooming in spring.

"Wu Fang." He called out, "Where are the others?"

Wu Fang ran out of the kitchen: "Mr. Yundu... who are you asking about?"

"No need to look for it, just come in."

"good."

Wu Fang trotted into the house and heard the door being locked. He asked, "Master Yundu, why are you locking the door in broad daylight?"

"My Lord Demon has specially disguised himself as my chef, so I have to close the door to avoid you being discovered?" Yun Du said with a smile.

"Not energetic."

Wufang's body shape changed and returned to its original appearance. Wei Xin wondered, "How did you recognize me?"

He thought that his disguise skills were no small trick, and he had even managed to get away with it in front of the previous sect leader. Why was it that he always failed in Yundu?

"Wufang never calls me Master Yundu in private." Yundu came in leisurely carrying the backpack, put it in the room, and started looking for a vase.

"Tsk, what did he yell?"

"I won't tell you. Where is Wufang? Where did you throw him again?"

"It's still the back hill."

"These flowers don't seem to be local?" Yun Du arranged the flowers to decorate the deserted house.

"I brought it back from the south. I went to Xiajing Sect and brought some back." Wei Xin sat down, picked up the wine pot and took two sips.

"Go to Xiajing Sect to do some business?"

"Um."

"Finished?"

"Um."

As Wei Xin nodded, a bunch of bird of paradise flowers appeared in front of him.

"Are these the betrothal gifts you brought?" Yun Du asked.

"puff--"

Wei Xin threw down the wine bottle and wiped his mouth: "What's the point of betrothal gifts? This is just a wild flower on the roadside."

Yun Du: "Wild flowers are nice too. What matters is the thought. I don't care how expensive the betrothal gift is."

Wei Xin: “???”
