Chapter 53 Wei Yin escaped from Wen Xuan's side, in a hurry...
Wei Yin fled from Wen Xuan's side and hurriedly ran towards the gate of the mansion. The events of that year were all over. The illusion created by Wen Xuan had disappeared, and the entire mansion had become desolate and old again. Wen Zhu, Wen Qin, and the others could no longer be seen.
She glanced at the mansion, where all the descendants of the Wen family were buried. At this moment, at the other end of the ancestral hall, there was the glint of swords, presumably Lu Hun fighting Wen Xuan.
Fearing that Wenxuan would come after them, Wei Yin dared not linger. She hurriedly went to the door and instructed the He family's coachman, "Quickly bring the carriage here, we're going back to the manor."
The coachman wondered why she was going back alone, since the young master was still here. But he didn't dare ask and hurriedly went to prepare the carriage.
At this moment, Wei Yin didn't care that He Wenqing was still there, and that Wenxuan had no interest in him. She was only worried that Lu Hun couldn't beat Wenxuan, after all, Wenxuan was an old ghost who was close to the level of Huaxi.
When the carriage returned to the He family's residence, Wei Yin quickly got off. She looked back and, seeing that no one was chasing after her, breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, just as she stepped into the passageway leading to her courtyard, a white figure blocked her way under the night sky. Wei Yin did not approach, but judging from the other person's tall stature, she recognized him as Wen Xuan.
How could he be so fast?
Where is Lu Hun?
What did he do to Lu Hun?
The next moment, Wei Yin turned to run away, but Wen Xuan's voice came softly from behind, "Jin Nian, you're leaving? Don't you care about whether that child surnamed Lu lives or dies?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Yin could no longer turn away. She asked anxiously, "What did you do to Lu Hun?"
"Then it's up to you." Wenxuan smiled and beckoned to Wei Yin: "Jin Nian, come here, come to me."
Wei Yin couldn't hold back anymore. Wenxuan had lived a miserable life, and his relationship with Jin Nian was a regret. He died in his early twenties, so naturally he was unwilling to let go of Wei Yin, who looked exactly like Jin Nian.
Seeing that she refused to move, Wenxuan sighed, "If you really want to leave, you can leave. I won't stop you, Jinnian, but if you leave, that child from the Lu family will disappear from the world completely."
Wei Yin was about to take a step when Wen Xuan's last sentence stopped her in her tracks. The image of that quiet, reserved boy from her school days flashed through her mind.
I remember seeing Lu Hun again in Hezhuang.
He rescued her from Ah Zhu's clutches. The boy was gloomy and taciturn. Although he didn't say anything to comfort her, he was afraid that she would get cold from the river water, so he silently brought her firewood to keep her warm.
later.
To help her escape from Ah Zhu's memories, he kept cutting his palms and taking her to see many lights.
In the end, Wei Yin couldn't bear to leave, and she chose to walk towards Wenxuan step by step.
As she drew closer, she could see that Wenxuan's robes were stained with a lot of black blood, but she couldn't tell whether it was his or Lu Hun's, or perhaps both. She felt a sinking feeling in her heart, fearing that Lu Hun had been seriously injured.
Wenxuan stared intently at her face, as if seeing her again after a lifetime, his eyes filled with tears.
Wei Yin felt uncomfortable being stared at, so she turned her head away and asked, "Where's Lu Hun? What did you do to him?"
Wenxuan was taken aback. "You care about that child a lot?"
Wei Yin glared at him.
Looking at her expression, Wenxuan suddenly smiled bitterly, "Jin Nian is a gentle person and would never glare at me like that. You and she are indeed very different."
“So I told you everything,” Wei Yin seized the opportunity, “I’m not Jin Nian at all.”
"It's alright." Wenxuan smiled nonchalantly. "Not growing up in the Wen family naturally leads to a different personality."
Wei Yin was at a loss for words. No matter what she said, he would assume that she was Jin Nian and would even try to make up for it himself.
Seeing that she was not happy, Wenxuan said, "Pack your clothes and come back with me. I will not make things difficult for that child anymore."
Wei Yin was dumbfounded. "Go back with you? How can that be? I'm already married."
"So what?" Wenxuan said indifferently. "I heard that your husband, who is a top scholar, also married his cousin, Jin Nian. He's not even as good as that boy from the Lu family. Why do you care about him?"
Wei Yin was completely speechless.
She could only go back to her room with Wenxuan to pack her clothes.
Just then, a gust of wind blew by, and a sword-wielding youth, also covered in blood, burst through the door.
"Lu Hun!" Wei Yin exclaimed in surprise.
Wenxuan frowned. "You child, you caught up so quickly, and you even used blood to break through my barrier?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Yin realized that Lu Hun was not yet in his hands, but was merely being restrained.
She immediately tried to put down the clothes she was holding.
Wenxuan knew she wanted to leave, so he gripped her wrist tightly, forbidding her from going to Lu Hun's place.
Lu Hun's usually indifferent eyes turned cold and deep, and he decisively pointed his sword at Wen Xuan.
"Let her go."
Wenxuan showed no weakness, and the black mist on his body wrapped around Lu Hun.
Lu Hun kept using the Po Jun technique to deflect attacks.
Seeing this, Wenxuan simply condensed the black mist into a black sword, gripped it, and engaged Lu Hun in combat. Lu Hun's swordplay became increasingly fierce, each strike sounding like tearing silk. However, Wenxuan had been a ghost for nearly a hundred years, and even with Lu Hun's fierce efforts, he was clearly becoming weaker.
Besides, he has only recently become a demon.
Lu Hun once again used his sword to block Wen Xuan's attack, and a mouthful of black blood was forced down from the corner of his mouth.
He closed his eyes and then directly forced out his primordial spirit.
Wenxuan frowned when he saw this: "Are you crazy, kid? You actually want to use your primordial spirit to inject into Po Jun and fight me again?"
Wei Yin had just started watching Lu Hun when she saw him force out a lump of something from his hand. She didn't know it was his primordial spirit, so she was carefully observing it. But when she heard Wen Xuan say something, she was terrified and sternly stopped him.
"Lu Hun, what are you doing? You're not allowed to use your primordial spirit, do you hear me?"
Hearing Wei Yin's reprimand, Lu Hun lowered his head guiltily, but he made no move to stop.
Wei Yin was shocked that Lu Hun would go to such lengths to save her from Wen Xuan. Seeing that he was completely disregarding her words and disregarding everything else, she became extremely anxious. She could no longer care about anything else and threw down her clothes to rush towards Lu Hun.
Clothes were scattered all over the ground, and Wei Yin's mother's shuttlecock also fell out and landed at Wenxuan's feet.
Wenxuan looked down, and his eyes widened in surprise when he saw the shuttlecock.
Wei Yin didn't notice; she was too busy throwing herself at Lu Hun, grabbing his hand that was supporting his primordial spirit tightly with both hands, and glaring angrily at the young man.
"You're not listening to me? Didn't I tell you not to do that?"
Lu Hun let her curse without saying a word. He just stared at her for a while, as if trying to imprint her whole being in his heart. His eyes were filled with deep sorrow, just like the look he gave her before hanging himself in the temple. A moment later, for the first time, he suddenly threw her away and decisively focused his primordial spirit into the Po Jun Sword.
But on the other side.
But then a loud crash was heard.
Wenxuan threw away the black sword that had been formed from the black mist with a bang. The sword fell to the ground and dissipated back into mist.
Wenxuan, however, was stunned and bent down to pick up the shuttlecock at his feet.
Lu Hun paused.
The enemy suddenly stopped fighting him.
Ignoring Wenxuan's situation, Wei Yin quickly got up and grabbed Lu Hun's hand. Lu Hun's push earlier had almost destroyed his soul, and Wei Yin was so angry that her stomach hurt. She slapped the boy's head hard.
"Lu Hun, you actually pushed me."
Lu Hun lowered his head and let her hit him.
Wei Yin hit him twice, and seeing that his mouth and body were covered in blood, indicating that he had suffered many injuries, she dared not hit him anymore. She took out a handkerchief from her bosom, pinched his face, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Lu Hun let her do whatever she wanted; even though his face was being pinched, he didn't dare to look up at her.
Wei Yin coldly looked at his eyes, which were covered by his eyelashes.
His eyelashes fluttered.
He seemed to want to see her expression, but dared not look.
After wiping him, Wei Yin threw the handkerchief into his arms, ignored him, and looked towards Wenxuan.
Wenxuan gripped the shuttlecock tightly, looking extremely excited.
Wei Yin felt a sense of strangeness.
At the same time, Old Pei, leaning on a cane, also arrived slowly from the Wen family's residence. He was extremely anxious, thinking that the fight inside was already in full swing, but he found the house quiet. His elder brother, Wen Xuan, was holding a shuttlecock and lost in thought. Old Pei was stunned for a moment, but when he saw the appearance of the shuttlecock, he opened his mouth in surprise.
It took Wenxuan a long time to come to his senses. He asked Wei Yin in a trembling voice, "You... who gave you this shuttlecock? Where did it come from?"
Wei Yin was completely confused.
Old Master Pei excitedly said, "This is Jin Nian's shuttlecock. It was made by my eldest brother for Jin Nian. Later, when Jin Nian became pregnant, her grandfather sent her to a secluded mountain retreat to rest. Jin Nian took this shuttlecock with her, intending it for the child to play with after the baby was born."
Wei Yin said blankly, "This...this shuttlecock was given to me by my mother. She told me that it belonged to my maternal grandmother."
At this moment, Wei Yin suddenly recalled a memory from her childhood.
That belonged to her maternal grandmother.
She was only four or five years old at that time and didn't remember much. Occasionally, when she went back with her mother, she would see her elderly grandmother often holding a shuttlecock and staring at it intently.
"Your maternal grandmother?" Wenxuan asked, puzzled. "How could she have Jin Nian's things?"
"That's right." Old Pei suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "I remember now, I remember Wei Yin's maternal grandmother. I had a bit of a relationship with Wei Yin's maternal grandfather before. His first wife died early, and he remarried, who is Wei Yin's maternal grandmother. When I was young, I remember hearing Wei Yin's maternal grandfather say that he had rescued his new wife from outside. Could it be..."
Wei Yin paused, then remembered, "My mother said that my maternal grandmother was rescued from the jaws of wolves by my maternal grandfather, and my maternal grandmother was pregnant with my mother at the time."
Old Master Pei was astonished. "It seems that's indeed what they said. Jin Nian didn't die in the wolf's jaws back then, but was rescued by someone?"
Wenxuan stared blankly at the shuttlecock, then asked Wei Yin tremblingly, "Then... then is your maternal grandmother... still alive?"
Wei Yin shook her head. "She passed away when I was very young."
Old Master Pei sighed and looked at Wenxuan with pity, "Brother, I never imagined that Jin Nian was still alive and had given birth to Wei Yin's mother."
Wenxuan turned his head and stared blankly at Wei Yin. "No wonder, no wonder, you look so much like Jin Nian, and you have Jin Nian's aura on you. So you are Jin Nian's bloodline..."
Wei Yin was also still in a daze.
Wenxuan closed his eyes, slumped his shoulders, and leaned weakly against the wall, saying listlessly, "Second brother, you can all go out. Let me think about this by myself."
