Chapter 6 Li Daoxuan comes to visit
Cui Ya was almost shocked to death. When did her wife become involved with King Cang again?
"Are you fond of him?" Liu Jiuyue seemed to be caught off guard by her words, her eyes were blank and her head was confused.
Li Daoxuan was also being pursued from behind. Chen Qing closed her eyes and simply accepted it. She almost gritted her teeth and said, "Yes... I like him." Chen Qing grabbed Liu Jiuyue's knife handle and said, "So, Senior Brother, please listen to my explanation. I didn't hurt him on purpose."
Liu Jiuyue stared at her closely, as if he wanted to see through her and see what was in her head.
Chen Qing didn't wait for him to speak and continued, "I heard today that Li Daoxuan was in a restaurant, so I went there under the pretext of eating. I, I wanted to send Cui Ya away and go see him, but unexpectedly, the hairpin on my head was snatched away by a demon."
"The demon led me to the room where King Cang was. King Cang was exorcising demons at the time. In his haste, he mistook me for a demon and accidentally injured me. But later he realized I wasn't a demon and quickly put away his sword."
After saying that, Shen Qing did not forget to add: "My hair and clothes are indeed messed up. They were accidentally affected when King Cang fought with the monster."
Chen Qing always felt inexplicably guilty every time she lied in front of Liu Jiuyue. Now that she had finished this call, her eyes were even more erratic and her cheeks were hot.
Now it seems like she is blushing because her daughter's thoughts have been exposed.
After a long while, Liu Jiuyue's voice, tinged with anger, came, "Nonsense!"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a stream of cold water was poured down on Chen Qing's head. Although it was a night in mid-May, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and her teeth were chattering slightly.
Memories from a past life came flooding back.
An imperial decree was issued, binding together Liu Jiuyue, the deputy envoy of Xuanji Pavilion, and Shen Ling, an orphan girl from the Shen family's side branch.
One of them was a posthumous child born under an unknown circumstances, and the other was an orphan whose parents had both passed away. No matter how you looked at them, they seemed to be a perfect match. However, in Shen Qing's eyes, Shen Ling was not worthy of her senior brother in any way.
She angrily smashed everything in Shen Ling's house and threw all her clothes and things out of the room.
Liu Jiuyue, who heard the news, hurriedly stopped her, but Chen Qing could no longer bear it. She was determined to kick this annoying person out of Xuanji Pavilion.
But Chen Qing, whose entire family was wiped out, was no longer the respected and beloved daughter of Duke Han, but a jealous girl hated by everyone in Xuanji Pavilion. She was always thinking about her senior brother and couldn't stand seeing other girls excelling.
Perhaps Liu Jiuyue had also gradually become disappointed in herself. It was a sunny day, but Chen Qing had already reached the brink of collapse, her mind a blur, and apart from her senior brother, she could no longer grasp anything else.
Chen Qing was frantically trying to drive Chen Ling out, but all she could hear were the scolding and discontent of her fellow disciples: "Chen Qing! You've gone too far! After all, she's a sister of your clan. It's fine if you two don't support each other, but now you don't even want to leave her the last bit of life!"
They all protected Shen Ling, and only the senior brother was still supporting himself. Liu Jiyue might have known that Shen Qing was extremely broken and unstable, so he fulfilled his responsibility as a senior brother and took care of her in the end.
Chen Qingru grabbed the last straw and held him tightly. She said, "Brother, I like you, you can't marry her! Go to the saint to cancel the engagement, you can't marry her!"
When Liu Jiyue heard what Chen Qing shouted, she shouted, “Nonsense!
Shen Qing cried and said, "I'm not messing around! I like you, you can't be with her!"
Liu Jiyue let go of Chen Qing, pinching his brows with a headache. He said, "Chen Qing, calm down first. We'll talk about this when I come back."
A giant dragon appeared in Yongzhou. The dragon monster caused floods wantonly, resulting in the loss of lives and the people's livelihood was in dire straits. Now is not the time to talk about these things.
However, Chen Qing didn't care and insisted on getting a result. She shouted: "Liu Jiyue! Are you going to cancel the engagement or not?"
Liu Jiyue seemed to have lost his temper as well. He said seriously, "I have never liked you. Marriage is no joke, and an imperial decree granting a marriage is not something you can cancel just like that!"
He finally said, "Calm down first." Then he turned around and left.
It seemed that Liu Jiuyue was afraid that she would hurt Shen Ling, so she took her with her before leaving.
Little did they know that was the last time they met.
Later, Chen Qing found Chen Ling. She ignored Chen Ling's crying and took away her precious Liuli Heart. As a result, she was also killed by Li Daoxuan's sword through the heart.
Liu Jiuyue's voice still lingered in her ears, making her blurry between her past life and this life, not knowing the difference between day and night. "As far as I know, you and King Cang had only met a few times when you were young, and there has been no intersection since then. How can you say you like him?"
Hearing the name "Cang Wang", she came back to her senses and whispered, "Brother, you can't always be by my side. How can you know everything about who I've met, who I've talked to, and who I've liked?"
Liu Jiyue said: "This matter is not a joke, it concerns your future happiness! Prince Cang acts on his own will and is unpredictable. He is not suitable for you!"
Chen Qing almost choked up and said, "From childhood to adulthood, you have been involved in everything I do. Now you even want to interfere with who I like and who I want to marry."
"I just like Li Daoxuan! I must marry him! Senior brother, do you think you have to care?!" Chen Qing was really aggrieved. In her previous life, she was scolded for confessing her love to her senior brother, and now she likes someone else and her senior brother also has to say something to her.
Liu Jiuyue finally asked her, "Youan, do you really know what love is?"
"Are you sure you really like him and aren't just fooled by his appearance?"
Although King Cang Li Daoxuan is a bad person, he has an extremely enchanting appearance. It makes sense if my junior sister was bewitched by his appearance.
Liu Jiuyue's eyes were clear, yet filled with a deep, mysterious intensity, as if they were going to drag her into a whirlpool and uncover all the thoughts hidden beneath her skin.
Chen Qing lowered his eyes with a guilty conscience and said stubbornly, "Yeah."
She heard her senior brother sigh, "I won't tell General Shen and Madam Shen about this for the time being. I hope you will think about it carefully. If you really like him, I won't stop you."
"You'an, Senior Brother hopes you will be happy, and so does your mother."
Chen Qing's nose felt sore and his vision blurred.
"Madam, Deputy Envoy Liu has left." Cui Ya's voice came.
Chen Qing knew that he was going to investigate the matter of the monster today. She wiped her face carelessly, raised her head, and resumed her usual arrogant attitude, "Go, find me cinnabar and yellow talismans."
"Also, don't tell my mother what happened tonight for now."
"yes."
Once the formation was broken, the rooms and yards that had been messed up by the monsters returned to their original state.
Chen Qing sat in front of the mirror, holding a few stacks of blank yellow talismans in her hands.
She was going to set up a formation for the entire Shen Mansion tonight, not only to guard against monsters, but also against a person.
Before finding Liulixin, she couldn't let Li Daoxuan find a chance to get close to her.
When Li Daoxuan finds out that his jade pendant is missing, it won’t be long before he comes looking for me.
That was a good time for him to discover that he was the owner of Liuli Heart.
In the previous life, it was Chen Ling who picked up Li Daoxuan's Pisces jade pendant. Li Daoxuan was furious and wanted to kill her with a sword, but when he did so, he saw the Liuli Heart that Chen Ling "unintentionally" revealed, and he immediately stopped and left.
When they met again, Li Daoxuan had already mixed into the protagonist group, and he would follow Shen Ling and Liu Jiuyue every time they went out to fight monsters.
His affectionate gaze lingered on the cinnabar and index finger.
The wound on my index finger has just scabbed over after the medicine was applied.
Cinnabar and wolf-hair brushes have been prepared and placed in front of the mirror.
She was struggling over whether to continue using blood to make talismans or use cinnabar.
"Using blood to make talismans is harmful to your body. Don't do it again next time."
"Youan, Senior Brother hopes you will be happy."
"So is your mother."
The image of Ye Niang's concerned look suddenly flashed through his mind, and Chen Qing finally chose to pick up the wolf-hair brush, dip it in cinnabar, and start drawing the talisman.
It was almost midnight when the formation was set up. In addition, Chen Qing had just made fifteen blood talismans in one breath, which greatly drained her energy. She returned to her bed feeling sleepy and exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.
After tonight, I'm afraid it will take two or three days to recover.
.
There is a restaurant in Dongfang.
Li Daoxuan carried the Peacock Demon and searched several times along the way they came, until the golden crow set in the west and night fell, but there was still no trace of the jade pendant.
Finally, he returned to the restaurant along the same route.
"A'man, why don't you stop looking and look for it tomorrow." The companion advised, holding an oil lamp.
Li Daoxuan had been searching from the afternoon till late at night. He had not eaten or drunk anything today in order to eliminate the demon. He became more and more irritable as he could not find anything. Therefore, his handsome and almost beautiful face became terribly gloomy. At this moment, he searched the ground silently without saying a word.
I feel like the world will be destroyed if I can't find it.
The rest of the companions completed their tasks and went back one after another. Only his closest playmate, Gu Yun, was still with him in the search.
The boy was still dressed as he did during the day, but his hair was a little messy, with a few strands of fine curls on his forehead, making his dark pupils look even darker.
Li Daoxuan finally stopped.
Gu Yun: "I've searched three or four times but still can't find it. I think it was either destroyed during the fight or picked up by someone else."
These words immediately woke him up. The girl's tearful eyes flashed through Li Daoxuan's mind, aggrieved and delicate.
But is this really the case?
"Chen Qing." He rolled the tip of his tongue over the name, as if trying to taste its meaning.
Gu Yun was stunned. "Why are you mentioning the daughter of the Duke of Han?"
Li Daoxuan narrowed his eyes, and a danger signal flashed in his pupils, like a cold black snake locking onto its prey, wanting to tear it apart and eat it.
"Nothing, you go back first."
Gu Yun hesitated: "Then you..."
"I'm tired, so I'll rest for one night in this restaurant nearby," said Li Daoxuan.
Thinking of the rule that disciples must return home when they leave their master's house, Gu Yun hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Okay, I'll come find you tomorrow."
After saying this, he hurriedly put down the oil lamp and left.
If he doesn't return to the temple, his butt will be beaten to a pulp.
After everyone left, Li Daoxuan opened the window and ran towards the Shen family on the roof.
One of the Wuhou troops patrolling the streets saw a figure sprinting on the roof and exclaimed in surprise, "Someone!"
Before he could exclaim, another companion grabbed him and said, "Who are you from? You must have seen the wrong person."
"But I clearly saw him..."
The companion kindly reminded him: "Look at what the man is wearing and his sword."
Hearing this, he turned his head to take a closer look. Li Daoxuan's figure was getting farther away and became a black dot under the round moon.
She did not tie her hair with a crown, but instead tied it up in a high ponytail with a red rope. She wore a round robe with a pattern of golden branches and auspicious clouds, a silver belt around her waist, silver elbows to gather her sleeves, black leather Liuhe boots on her feet, and a black sword decorated with red stones hung from her waist. She was neat and capable, coming and going freely.
In the entire Chang'an City, apart from the one the saint favors the most, who else would dare to dress so conspicuously and run around against the wind during curfew?
He suddenly felt a chill on his back. Fortunately, he did not speak out to stop it, otherwise he would have offended the important person and his life might be in danger.
The Chen Mansion, or rather the Hanguo Mansion, was covered with a transparent barrier that prevented even a fly from getting in. Apart from the main gate, which allowed people to enter and exit openly, the rest of the place was blocked by the barrier.
Li Daoxuan stood in mid-air, looking at the barrier with a murderous look in his eyes. He swung his sword and slashed at the barrier with a sharp sword energy, but the sword energy disappeared into the sea as soon as it touched the barrier, without any follow-up.
He slashed out several more sword energies, but still couldn't break the barrier.
After a long time, Li Daoxuan laughed angrily. He gritted his teeth and said, "Chen, Qing."
Inside the room, Chen Qing suddenly opened his eyes, rushed to the bed and violently spat out a mouthful of blood.
After spitting out blood, she casually wiped the blood from the corner of her lips, looked at the barrier through the window slats, and curved her eyes as she wished.
