Chapter 45 Chapter 45 If I can survive, we will...

In the backyard, Yun Du was talking to Zhong Xiang when he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck and a hand pulled him back.

At the same time, Zhong Xiang was grabbed by the waist from behind and retreated several steps.

Both of them were confused by this sudden situation.

Yundu turned his head and looked at Wei Xin, who had a gloomy look in his eyes: "Axin, what happened?"

Wei Xin did not answer, but just looked at him scornfully.

"Madam, why are you so panicked?" Zhong Xiang asked in the same way.

Bei Gu gritted his teeth and asked casually, "What are you talking about with him here?"

"Oh, we are discussing how long it takes for the ants to remove the debris on the ground." Zhong Xiang said.

"Why would my husband do such a boring thing?"

Zhong Xiang smiled and said, "Maybe I met a friend with similar interests. This Master Yundu is very interesting. I like him very much."

Yun Du also smiled and said, "I feel the same way."

The two were talking and laughing cheerfully, but Wei Xin and Bei Ou had gloomy faces.

"It's getting late, we should say goodbye." Wei Xin said.

"That's right. Let's go back early before it gets dark!" Beiu didn't want to keep them any longer and led them out in a hurry.

"Master Yundu, do you have anything else to say? Why not go to the study with me to look at the calligraphy and paintings?" Zhong Xiang said.

"That's exactly what I meant. Xin, you go back first, I'll be there soon." Yun Du turned around and went to the study with Zhong Xiang.

Bei Gu and Wei Xin looked at each other in bewilderment: "What should we do now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Xin floated to the roof of the study without anyone noticing.

She followed him up, and the two of them sat on it, eavesdropping blatantly.

After more than an hour, they were still chatting about music, chess, calligraphy, painting, flowers, birds, insects and fish.

Wei Xin felt sleepy after listening to this, so he just lay down on the back and said, "I'll take a nap first."

"I'm sleepy too." The northern gull yawned and fell asleep with its legs spread out.

In a daze, they heard someone calling them.

As soon as Wei Xin opened his eyes, Yun Du picked him up and he fell to the ground in the blink of an eye.

"How come you fell asleep on the roof? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" Yun Du said.

"Hai Ling, how did you climb up to the roof? Come down quickly." Zhong Xiang carried a ladder and placed it on the eaves. Seeing that she didn't move, he climbed up step by step to pick her up.

Seeing this, Yun Du was about to go up to help rescue the people, but was pushed back by Wei Xin.

"Behave yourself, go back quickly and don't interfere in the relationship between this couple." Wei Xin gritted his teeth.

Yun Du was puzzled: "I just wanted to help pick him up, how can that be considered as interfering in his relationship?"

Wei Xin turned around and left. After a moment, he turned back and asked, "I'm leaving now. Do you want to go too?"

"I'm here." Yun Du walked to his side, lifted his hand, and looked at the back of his hand that was frozen red. "Are you cold?"

"I'm not afraid of the cold."

"Yeah, you're not afraid of anything. I'm just worrying too much." Yun Du said with a smile.

As they walked out of the gate, Wei Xin asked, "You and Zhong Xiang have only known each other for half a day, but you have such a good relationship. You, a jerk, have you fallen in love with him?"

Yun Du paused and stood still, looking at him.

"What are you doing? Do you want to stay and enjoy the flowers and the moon with me?" Wei Xin stepped back, grabbed his collar and warned, "He is Bei'ou's husband. You'd better not have such thoughts, or I will break your legs."

Yun Du smiled suddenly, and just as he was about to speak, Nan Huang and Yan Lin ran over.

“My Lord, why didn’t you inform us before you left?” Nan Huang had just finished speaking when he realized that the two men were in a strange mood, and hurriedly dragged Yan Lin forward, “Let’s go back to the inn and wait for you.”

"Wait." Wei Xin let go of her hand and walked forward with them. He turned to ask Yan Lin, "Are you going to the inn too?"

"Well, I want to follow Master Yundu, so that I can talk to my brother every day, is that okay?" Yan Lin looked at him eagerly.

"It's up to you." Wei Xin said unhappily.

When they arrived at the inn, Wei Xin had just stepped into the room when he received a sound transmission note from Xique. His face froze and he turned around to walk out of the room, almost bumping into Yundu.

"Where are you going?"

"It's none of your business, don't follow me."

Arriving at a remote place, he broke off a branch, drew a formation on the ground, and threw out four talismans, which fell all around and activated the entire formation.

A moment later, Xique fell in the center of the talisman formation with a knife wound on his face and he didn't look very good.

"My lord, I failed to do my job well and was discovered." Xique said exhaustedly and then fainted.

He took the man to Bei'ou's villa. An hour later, Bei'ou came hurriedly and took off the mask on his face: "I just knocked Zhonglang unconscious and rushed over. How is the situation?"

"The meridians are damaged, and the body is also poisoned by the Brahma Moon Flower."

"It seems I have to go back to Xuanji Sect. The Fanyue Flower has been abused in this way." Beiou looked unhappy. He checked Xique's injuries and said, "The antidote ran out last time. I have to make it again. I'm afraid I have to wait for two days."

"Um."

After Wei Xin handed the person over to Bei Ou, he did not go back to the inn directly, but walked in another direction.

In front of me is a dilapidated temple. It was thriving a year ago, but now it is deserted. Even the gate has been smashed down, leaving only ruins.

The Buddha's head in the main hall was chopped off in half and the body was also mutilated.

He tilted his head and looked at it for a moment, carefully recalling Yan Xiu's body. His gaze moved slightly, and sure enough, this incomplete Buddha statue matched Yan Xiu's half body exactly.

His face darkened slightly. Although he was reluctant to speculate in that direction, it seemed that he could no longer escape it.

He walked into the Buddha statue, groped around inside, closed his eyes, and carefully distinguished the smell. Suddenly, he smelled a familiar scent, fresh and elegant, like orchid.

He turned his head and looked at Yundu who suddenly appeared: "......"

"What a coincidence, you are here too?" Yun Du smiled at him.

"Didn't I tell you not to follow me?"

"I didn't follow you. I just happened to come here to relax and smelled your scent, so I came here." Yun Du said.

Wei Xin was stunned: "What do I smell like?"

Yundu smiled and said nothing.

Wei Xin thought for a moment and asked, "You can always see through my disguise, is it because of my smell?"

"right."

Wei Xin smelled the scent on his body, but there was no smell at all, let alone one that was so unique that he could smell it.

"What does it smell like?"

Yun Du's lips moved slightly, and he suddenly looked outside, grabbed his wrist, and hid inside the altar.

"What the hell..." Before Wei Xin could finish his words, he covered his mouth.

"Hey, someone's coming."

Wei Xin's power was not better than usual, so he did not notice someone approaching. He thought that the person must have spiritual power, so he held his breath and listened quietly to the movement outside.

"Master, haven't we been here before? Why are we coming here again?" The person who spoke was Xu Shun.

"Nothing, I just seemed to feel the aura of my senior brother." Yun Jin said.

"It is normal for Master to walk around Lincheng and feel his aura. Master, you should rest for a while. You are seriously injured. I will treat your wounds first, and we will go to see Master tomorrow." Xu Shun said.

"Okay."

Wei Xin heard them sitting down in the corner and Xu Shun was transferring spiritual power to Yun Jin.

He looked at Yundu puzzledly, asking with his eyes: Why are we hiding?

Yundu raised his eyebrows: Are you sure we want to go out now?

Wei Xin looked down at the two men's postures. He was leaning against the table, while Yun Du was kneeling on one leg in front of him. Two grown men were squeezed in such a narrow space. If an outsider saw them, they would think they were just trying to get by.

Xu Shun asked again: "Did Dou Fang really not find anyone to detoxify you?"

"I've been keeping an eye on him. He always stayed in the room and never went out. No one went to look for him. Now Wen Jingcheng is keeping an eye on his movements and will notify us as soon as there is any news," said Yun Jin.

"Why on earth would he poison you?"

"I don't know either." Yun Jin thought he had nothing to do with this person and couldn't understand why he was poisoned.

Xu Shun's eyes showed a hint of hostility. He held her hand and said in a deep voice, "Once I catch the person behind this, I will definitely not let him go."

"Xu Shun, I am your master, let go of my hand."

"Master, I...I like you and admire you! If you want to punish me, just punish me. I will never complain."

Wei Xin had never expected to hear the private conversation between these two people with his own ears. Although it was in this environment, he could not control his gossipy heart and paid attention to the movements outside with a sly smile on his face.

"No, I'm your master, you shouldn't have such thoughts!" Yun Jin flatly rejected his intention.

"Why not? My uncle-master can disregard his status and reputation to like a cold-blooded and ruthless devil, so why can't I love you?" Xu Shun asked loudly.

Yun Jin was stunned and speechless.

Wei Xin was also stunned - damn Xu Shun, if you want to express your love, then just express your love, why do you involve me? And you are stepping on me openly or secretly?!

Looking at his angry but helpless look, Yun Du raised the corner of his mouth silently.

There was silence outside. After a long while, Yun Jin finally spoke with difficulty: "Senior Brother...his situation is different from ours."

"Why is it different? He and you share the same teachings as your master. Why can he like a man, but I can't like you?"

Yun Jin was speechless and didn't know how to answer. He could only evade: "I will go to discuss important matters with my senior brother first."

"I'll go with you."

The footsteps gradually faded away. Wei Xin took his hand away and said teasingly, "Look at you. What kind of example are you setting for others? If I were Tianchen's old man, I would have been so angry at you that I would have crawled out of my coffin."

"If that's the case, that would be great."

Wei Xin saw that he had a nostalgic look on his face, and thought that he must be thinking about old man Tianchen. He pressed his slightly wrinkled brows as if possessed by a ghost: "Don't frown, it's ugly."

Yundu raised his head and looked at him, his eyes were filled with smiles again, and he lowered his head and kissed his forehead: "Axin, I like you."

"Why are you saying this suddenly?" Wei Xin shrank his head back.

"Aren't you jealous? I just want to tell you that I only like you."

"Who's jealous?"

"Then why are you afraid that I will fall in love with Xiang?"

"Ah Xiang?" Wei Xin's eyes turned cold. "We've only just met once, yet you're calling me so affectionately. You're really a playboy."

Yun Du couldn't help laughing: "I'll explain it to you later. Why did you come here tonight?"

Wei Xin said seriously, "Before the treatment, I sent Xi Que to secretly return to Xuan Ji Sect to investigate something, but he was injured. If he hadn't sent me a signal in time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to come back."

"He met with an accident in Xuanji Sect. With his skills and status, there are not many people who can hurt him. Are you sending him back to investigate the traitor?"

"nice."

"He must have been discovered during the investigation, so we had no choice but to take action against him... Did Xique tell you who it was?"

"Not yet, but I already know." Wei Xin sighed lightly, "He knows the relationship between the Yan family siblings, and the relationship between Yan Lin and me. He is certain that I will go to Guiluomen to attend the birthday banquet. In order to set up a death trap for Yan Xiu, he spread the word that my power has greatly decreased in advance. He wants to use Yan Xiu's hand to seize the red blood bead, and then use Yan Xiu's body to sew with this Buddha statue and regenerate, so that he can borrow the soul and be reborn."

"Borrowing a soul?"

Wei Xin nodded: "My father obtained the Red Blood Pearl from his predecessor the Demon Lord in this way. I only learned about this technique when you reminded me to look up the reasons for the deaths of previous Demon Lords."

“You haven’t used it?”

"My father didn't even have time to teach me." Wei Xin said with a smile, "In the entire Xuanji Sect, the only one who is well versed in this technique is my father's followers, that is, Elder Yin who secretly memorized this technique but did not tell it to me."

Yun Du knew what position this person held in Xuanji Sect. Looking at Wei Xin who had a sad expression on his face, he reached out and hugged him.

"In fact, I have suspected him for a long time, but because I don't understand something, I don't dare to believe it." Wei Xin lowered his head, resting his head on his shoulder, and whispered, "He could have killed me directly when I was a child. There were so many opportunities. Why did he wait until now?"

"Maybe, he didn't really want to harm you at that time, but he tasted the power after taking charge of Xuanji Sect for you." Yun Du said.

"I don't like this position. Instead, he nags in my ear from time to time, reminds me of my identity, and instructs me on how to be a competent lord." If not for this, he would rather be a free and easy cultivator.

His father ignored his will and injected the Red Blood Pearl into his body, but the Red Blood Pearl almost took his life. Elder Yin ignored his will and put the responsibility of Xuanji Sect on him, raising him up, but wanted to take his life.

No one ever asked him if he wanted it.

Yun Du stroked his back again and again.

There was silence all around. Wei Xin felt tired. He put his arms around his waist, leaned against his warm chest, and relaxed for a moment.

I really hope that everything will disappear...

The whole world seemed to have quieted down.

The only sound he could hear was Yun Du's breathing. His breath fanned over his neck. His lips seemed to come close to his, but then left immediately.

He turned his head and whispered in Yundu's ear: "If I can survive, Yundu, we will..."

"So what?" Yundu's voice was a little hoarse.

Wei Xin raised his head, the dim light obscuring his flushed face. He looked at the two people's current postures: "Uh...are we being a little too ambiguous right now?"

"It's more than just an affair, it's almost like they've decided to spend their lives together."

"......"

Yun Du moved his legs with a strange look on his face. Wei Xin thought his legs were numb from kneeling and he wanted to change his posture, so he also curled up his legs. His knee accidentally hit something hard and he was startled.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and seeing the panic and shame flashing in each other's eyes, Wei Xin finally realized what had happened. His face and neck suddenly turned red, and he turned around and crawled out.

He just took a step outside, then hurriedly stepped back, pulled down the tablecloth again, returned to his original position, and looked at Yun Du in surprise.

"What?"

Wei Xin made a gesture to keep quiet and pointed outside - Yun Jin and Xu Shun came back again.

Facing a person who was breathing rapidly and in an abnormal physical state, I looked up to the sky helplessly - what was going on?
