Chapter 52: Separation of Life and Death
It was difficult to tell the direction in the dark, but Jiaoran had excellent hearing ability, so she used the wind to tell the direction. She moved lightly and took a slight step wrong, and his hidden weapon was caught by her with ease.
It is a two-inch long short arrow. Apart from its compact size, there is nothing special about it.
"Is it poisonous?" She didn't believe that Chai Che would bother to use poison against her.
"Tail, take a look."
Jiaoran blew the fire lighter to light it and saw the word "firefly" engraved on the tail of the arrow.
Although the hidden weapons used by everyone in the martial arts world are different, no one has ever engraved words on their darts or sleeve arrows. This is equivalent to showing off when doing bad things.
"What's this?"
"Hidden Arrow."
Jiaoran said, "I have eyes."
"I'm asking you, how can you use hidden weapons so openly and honestly without leaving your nickname? Your nickname is Ying?"
Chai Che's face changed slightly, he raised his hand and shot another arrow.
Jiao Ran said, "If you want to kill me, then fight me. You can't use arrows like this on me."
Chache's frown relaxed, "I don't want to kill you, I just want to save you."
"Who asked you to save her? How shameless of you to say that." Her current situation was closely related to the Chai family. She was arrested and exiled two or three years ago and almost died on the ship.
He raised his hands again, and suddenly it was like a rain of flowers in the sky. Amid the whistling wind, dozens of cold lights shot out and headed towards the tombstone. Jiaoran thought it was coming towards her, so she dodged. The next moment, all the short arrows hit the tombstone.
Jiaoran was furious that he had humiliated her dead father in such a way, and she wanted to fight with him immediately.
"You're looking for death! Bastard, I'm going to fight you!!!"
Cha Che said, "You can't kill me now. You are not qualified."
Jiao Ran was furious. "Okay, you try it."
"Before we start, aren't you curious about why the owner of this arrow is so arrogant as to dare to carve words on his own hidden weapon?"
"This word 'Ying' is not your nickname, and this is not your hidden weapon?"
"Of course not."
Jiao Ran sensed that he had something to say, so he suppressed his murderous intent. "Logically speaking, I have nothing to do with you after tonight. Whether it's Huiyingmen or the Governor's Mansion, I will be nothing to you nobles in the future. But you came here tonight to find me, aren't you just trying to provoke me?"
Chai Che nodded, "Did you know that Mu Jin is Zhou Zhi's son?"
Jiao Ran said, "Although my mother's face was disfigured, Mu Jin's eyebrows and eyes really do look a lot like hers. Plus, Bu Yue reminded me at the time, so I could see it."
"Aren't you curious?"
"What are you curious about?"
"I thought you'd want to know who you are."
"Since I was little, I've heard my mother say that my mother is a rare thief in the world. She's as light as a feather, and there's no one more nimble than her. She can steal anything from anyone effortlessly."
The corners of Chache's eyes turned red. "Is that how they... judge her?"
"Isn't she a thief?"
"You shouldn't just listen to Zhou Zhi's opinion of what kind of person she is."
"Are you lying to me, mother?"
"I think a person should at least understand who he is. You should think about it."
"Who am I?" Jiaoran was stunned. "I'm the daughter of a thief adopted by Huiyingmen. Isn't that right?"
Thief? Years later, the woman with the squinting eyes when she smiled and the candy cake she bit into, constantly shouting "It's so hot, so hot", has become these two words in the mouth of her beloved.
The flower ornament on her forehead seemed to still be glowing in the sunlight, her lips seemed to still be smiling at him, her hands were so soft, gently rubbing his hair, carrying him on her back and playing horseback riding.
Her purple dress carried a fragrant scent, and people couldn't help but look at her wherever she went.
In the blink of an eye, a bad idea came to her mind. Her brother and he were really her little tails, willing to follow her around for the rest of their lives.
Call her Aunt for the rest of her life.
His aunt, such a cheerful person, more comfortable than the warm spring breeze, eventually became as cold as the north wind.
The last time he saw her, the sun was about to set. She was wearing plain clothes without any hairpins or jewelry, and her long hair was loose. She turned around and looked at him. The sunset in the yard was almost gone, leaving only a piece of golden light on the top of the pavilion, and the tall treetops were also dyed with gold.
But the light was too high. She stood where the setting sun could not reach, between darkness and light, and took a last long look at him.
How much he wanted to stop her. To this day, he still wakes up in the middle of the night, feeling uneasy. He didn't regret many things in his life, but the one about his aunt made him particularly regretful and painful.
"Find out where you came from before you think about the future," said Cha Che.
"Do you know who my biological mother is?"
"It's just a guess. Maybe you are not her child."
"Even if you guess, tell me everything."
"'Takayama Shou'. All I can tell you is that your mother died for it."
"It's this crappy book again. Why are all of you so hung up on it?"
"When you find it, you will know who your mother is and who you are."
"The Gao Shan Shou has been taken away by Mu Jin and my mother. Now that I have broken off relations with the Hui Ying Sect, do you want me to go back and take it back?"
Of course not, said Chaiche. "They couldn't take it away."
"Where is the secret book now?"
"It's still in the Governor's Mansion, but I have no idea where it is exactly."
It was all in vain, all in vain, whether she sneaked into the Governor's Mansion or entered the secret room during the wedding, it was all in vain.
"Jiaoran." Mei Wan'er called her from a distance in the forest, "Come back."
Jiaoran turned around and asked, "What's wrong, Wan'er?"
"Your senior sister, something happened!"
Jiaoran ran over hurriedly, and when he looked back, Chai Che had disappeared.
Coming and going without a trace.
She hurried over and asked, "What's wrong, Senior Sister?"
"She seemed to be in great pain. Although she was unconscious, she kept vomiting black blood."
"Vomiting blood?" He should not have suffered any internal injuries, so why would he be vomiting blood?
Jiaoran rushed over and saw that his senior sister was in great pain, with her eyes tightly closed and blood constantly flowing from the corners of her mouth.
Bu Yue hugged her tightly, not letting go for a moment.
"What's going on, Senior Sister?" Jiaoran was at a loss.
"It's a Gu."
"What!" Jiaoran was stunned, recalling that Huiying Sect did like to use poison to control its disciples in the early years.
Except for her, almost all the senior brothers and sisters will take poison.
"Ms. Xumeng Qiu, aren't you from the Holy Hand Poison Sect? Please save my senior sister."
It has never happened before, why is it happening now?
"The habit of separation will only occur when someone is seriously injured. If it wasn't you, how could it have occurred so quickly?!"
Bu Yue blamed her, but it was too late to say anything now.
Xu Mengchou walked up to Jiaoran, patted her shoulder and said, "My dear sister, I want to save her too, but someone stopped me."
Jiao Ran said ruthlessly, "Who stopped you from saving her?"
"It's your Senior Brother Bu Yue. He wants to watch your Senior Sister die."
Jiaoran was surprised. How could it be possible? "Bu Yue, you!"
Xu Mengchou continued, "It's probably too late to go back to Huiyingmen now. If she attacks, we'll only have two incense sticks of time."
Jiao Ran burst into tears after hearing this, and without hesitation, he knelt at her feet and said, "Please save my senior sister."
Xu Mengchou was shocked, but she still hardened her heart. This was her last chance, and also her best chance. "Whether to save him or not depends on your senior brother's words. Instead of begging me, you should beg him."
Jiaoran was anxious, "Bu Yue, what's wrong with you? If you can save her, then save her. What are you waiting for?"
"Help!" Bu Yue yelled.
"I am willing to agree to your terms."
Xu Mengchou's eyes lit up, "Are you really going to promise me?"
