Chapter 75 What a lewd thing this is!
Chen Zhiguang felt like he had just woken up from a dream, a truly melodramatic nightmare. To avoid being caught in this mess, this innocent bystander weakly said goodbye and wisely fled the scene.
In the endless silence, the atmosphere grew even more oppressive. Xiao Mingxin pressed him again:
"Junior brother, think carefully about who you've given your blood to?"
"I... I really didn't lie to your senior brother. How about we... eat first?" Xu Zangyu awkwardly changed the subject.
He heard a sigh beside him and saw Xiao Mingxin silently walk into the kitchen.
Xu Cangyu sat by the window, propping his head up with his hand. The sounds around him gradually faded away, and his mind was filled with a jumble of thoughts.
If he guessed correctly, the bloodstain on his chest only appeared slowly after the seal was broken.
During this period, he absolutely did not form any messy blood pacts with anyone. That was five years ago when he lost his memory.
Did he already have someone he liked five years ago?
A sudden coolness touched my fingertips, and the slight burning pain was covered up. In the blink of an eye, the not-so-deep wound had healed, leaving only a faint pink scar.
"Why don't you remember applying the medicine?"
Xiao Mingxin casually placed the medicine bottle by the window and arranged the food on the table. Based on her understanding of Xu Zangyu's tastes, all the dishes on the table were to Xu Zangyu's liking.
Xu Zangyu was certainly not hungry; he had just made up an excuse to avoid the awkward situation. But Xiao Mingxin, who was meticulous in everything, had already served him a bowl of soup. "The restaurant has a new Eight Treasures Soup. Why don't you try it and see if it suits your taste?"
Xu Zangyu naturally couldn't refuse. Even if he wanted to escape, he could only obediently sit down. As soon as he took a bite, he tasted a faint medicinal flavor. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be the mushrooms in the bowl, as well as some nourishing herbs that he often saw at Chen Zhiguang's place.
After drinking half a bowl, he felt full of energy and boundless vitality. He dared not drink any more, and even less dared to ask Xiao Mingxin to drink.
Silently pushing the bowl aside, Xiao Mingxin picked up a piece of bamboo shoot, glanced at the soup bowl beside him, and suddenly asked, "Junior Brother, do you still remember the Tianyi Sect Disciple Assembly?"
"The Disciples' Tournament?" The jade chopsticks paused in mid-air, and after a long while, they were put down. "Hmm... I vaguely remember. Wasn't it the eldest brother who won first place in the end?"
Xiao Mingxin: "There's one more person."
Xu Cangyu froze again, the red-clad figure in his mind still blurry. "Who else?"
Xiao Mingxin suddenly changed the subject: "He's not an important person."
"If you think of anyone who has formed a blood pact with you, you must tell me. Junior Brother has always acted with propriety, so it must be that person who deceived you. If you know who that person is, I will find a way to help Junior Brother break the blood pact."
Xu Cangyu weakly uttered, "Okay... didn't Senior Brother say that once a blood pact is formed, it's very difficult to break?"
This was something Xiao Mingxin had told him personally, without any hesitation.
Xiao Mingxin opened her mouth but remained silent for a long time, as if she was choked by his words. Her final tone was somewhat exasperated, "Even if there is no solution, I will find a way to solve it."
Xu Zangyu lowered his head and started eating again, fueling the anger that wasn't directed at him.
Xiao Mingxin, usually so composed, couldn't hide the impatience on his face. He suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going to the library. I'll be back tonight."
After leaving the Purple Bamboo Formation, Xiao Mingxin took out a small jade bottle containing the Truth-Expelling Pill that he had put into the soup.
Xu Zangyu was not lying; he truly did not recall Chu Shu.
He didn't even remember that Chu Shu was the champion he was ranked alongside in the disciples' assembly.
Who exactly is it that can make Xu Zangyu personally sign a blood pact? Wen Qianchu isn't even a living person, so how could he possibly sign a blood pact?
Could it be... Chu Shu?
He still remembers the marriage certificate that Xu Zangyu wrote himself, and the bloody fingerprints they pressed on it.
Two bloody finger marks intertwined, indistinguishable from one another.
If Chu Shu had already set up the spirit array on the marriage certificate at that time, just waiting for Xu Zangyu to sign it himself...
Is that even possible?
Chu Shu suffered a qi deviation and suddenly disappeared from the Tianyi Sect. Even the sect leader's soul-chasing beast could not find him. Some people began to suspect that Chu Shu had met with misfortune.
If the blood pact engraved on Xu Zangyu's body is indeed tied to Chu Shu on the other side, then it means that Chu Shu is still safe and sound.
If the sect leader knew, he might even beg Xu Cangyu to help find Chu Shu.
Of course, Xiao Mingxin did not intend to report to the sect leader. Whether Chu Shu lived or died was none of his business. He hoped that Chu Shu could hold on for a while longer until he could completely break the blood pact.
With Xiao Mingxin gone, Xu Cangyu couldn't eat a thing. With trouble brewing in the backyard, what was he going to do?
He touched the burning bloodstain on his chest and slapped his forehead.
"How foolish must I be to willingly enter into this blood pact that's so restrictive and love-struck?"
"Could his brain have been damaged before it was hit?"
Xiao Mingxin's hasty departure indicates that he also does not know the solution to the blood qi problem. Therefore, since Xiao Mingxin cannot heal the injury to his dantian, he still has to find the adulterer with whom he has formed a blood pact.
Who knows where this person is?
It's true that getting Nascent Soul stage cultivation for free is not easy.
Xu Zangyu took a few steps out of the room, but unexpectedly, he was so unlucky that he tripped over a stone that appeared out of nowhere and almost fell over.
Where did the stone come from?
On the flat ground beside my feet, a small mound of earth suddenly appeared. Looking closer, I saw that the mound was still undulating little by little until the soil cracked open and the thing inside emerged from the ground.
What a huge, fat rat!
Xu Zangyu was so startled that he took a step back. This fat rat was almost as big as his head. He had just raised his foot, but before he could kick it, the fat rat actually reached out and stopped him, as if it were quite intelligent.
His gaping mouth opened exaggeratedly, spitting out a teleportation scroll larger than his body. The scroll was covered in glistening saliva, making Xu Zangyu so disgusted that he couldn't even kick it.
To everyone's surprise, a person jumped out of the teleportation scroll the next moment, and the mouse happily hopped into the bag hanging on his waist, peeking out with its head sticking out.
"Well done, you burrowing rat. You think you can trap me with a mere Purple Bamboo Formation?"
Xue Wenxiang patted the burrowing rat's head to encourage it, and then took out a piece of jerky from its body as a reward. The burrowing rat hugged the jerky and happily shrank into the bag, making crisp crunching sounds one after another.
One slap wasn't enough? Xue Wenxiang actually dared to come over.
Xu Cangyu crossed his arms and sneered, "You've come here to ask for a beating?"
Just as Xue Wenxiang was about to nod reluctantly, she noticed that Xu Zangyu was dressed in a bright red gown, and the surroundings were decorated in the same way, with red ribbons everywhere, clearly something prepared for a wedding.
"You're getting married? To Xiao Mingxin?" Xue Wenxiang's voice suddenly became sharp.
Why are you so excited? It's not like you're getting married.
"How could I not be excited? I... why did you have to choose a hypocritical scoundrel like Xiao Mingxin? Have you forgotten how the Tianyi Sect beat you into obscurity?"
Xu Zangyu: "My senior brother and I have nothing to do with Tianyi Sect, nor with you. Young Master Xue, you should not interfere."
Xue Wenxiang almost ground her molars to powder. "Senior brother? How can he be considered your senior brother now? You even asked Sect Leader Wen for his opinion before getting married?"
The brief silence made Xue Wenxiang immediately understand, "Oh, so your good senior brother didn't ask Sect Leader Wen, because he didn't dare?"
"As for your disciple's life-long marriage, you should ask your master's opinion. If it is inconvenient for you to send a message, I can convey the message to Sect Master Wen on your behalf."
After saying that, Xue Wenxiang began to draft the spiritual book with her fingers together, her hand speed was extremely fast, and she wished she could send the spiritual book over right now.
Let Old Man Wen know whether he'll break Xiao Mingxin's legs or not.
Someone slapped his finger, and the spiritual energy suddenly dissipated, causing the words on the spiritual book to disappear completely.
"Don't worry about it, I will talk to Master myself."
"I haven't even asked you what you're doing here? Sneaking in into someone else's sect, even if you are the young master of Anxiang Tower, how can Tianyi Sect tolerate such provocation?"
"Don't even mention the Tianyi Sect, even if Sect Leader Chu were here now, I think no one could stop me."
Xue Wenxiang's imposing figure suddenly shrank in front of him, and he lowered his head to take the whip from his waist.
"You want to fight me?"
Xu Cangyu took a half step back, and the whip was suddenly handed to him. "I know you still have grievances in your heart. I'll give you a chance to whip me to vent your anger. I promise I won't resist."
Xu Zangyu actually accepted the whip. Although Xue Wenxiang looked somewhat disappointed, she still stubbornly refused to back down.
However, this whip is quite strange. It feels like the soft hide of some kind of animal, and it's bulging with something stuffed inside, yet it feels light. If used as a weapon, this whip is a complete failure.
But a lesson is enough for a stubborn person like Xue Wenxiang.
"I don't think I've done anything to wrong you, Young Master Xue. Could you please stop staring at me? We're not a good match..."
"How is it unsuitable? Look at me, I'm not the child I was five years ago anymore, I've grown up a lot. You haven't even used it yet, and you already know it's unsuitable?"
Five years have passed, and Xue Wenxiang's overconfident attitude remains unchanged, even starting to develop into narcissism.
"Last time... I was inexperienced. Now I've prepared everything, I'm sure I'll make you feel great... Ah!"
A whip lashed across Xue Wenxiang's sturdy chest. Just as Xu Zangyu had predicted, the whip was weak and useless, unable to exert any force, and it didn't even tear Xue Wenxiang's clothes.
Another lash of the whip followed.
"Um……"
A jolt of electricity shot from his tailbone straight to the top of his head, and the muscles in Xue Wenxiang's chest trembled from the slaps. It wasn't pain; this slight pain was nothing compared to the injuries he had suffered before.
But it was this slight pain followed by a tingling numbness that was unbearable, making one wish that Xu Zangyu would be even more ruthless.
During this time, he asked someone to find a picture album of acacia flowers. Before coming to see Xu Zangyu, he specifically asked someone to make him a whip that wouldn't hurt too much when hitting people.
These idiots, that's how they do things.
Xue Wenxiang's face turned bright red, and she gasped for breath, her forehead veins bulging.
Xu Zangyu then realized what kind of lewd object he was holding.
Time really can change people. Who would have thought that a pure-hearted boy would turn into such a lewd person in just five years?
"Why did you stop? You're so weak, did you not eat? Don't worry, I'm not afraid of pain."
Xu Cangyu threw the whip directly at his face, "Get out!"
Xu Zangyu's face darkened; he had clearly discovered the problem with the whip. Seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer, Xue Wenxiang went over to coax him again.
"Don't be angry, how was I supposed to know those idiots grabbed the wrong whip? I have a knife, you don't need it..."
He even tried to salvage the situation by showing his sincerity, but Xu Zangyu interrupted him.
"Shut up."
That's insane.
Xue Wenxiang has this kind of fetish, but he doesn't.
