My wrists were held tightly, and I couldn't move them.
Fang Chaozhou met Xue Danrong's eyes and felt inexplicably guilty, but he also felt that he had no reason to feel guilty. His encounter with Li Zhu was completely accidental, and he had also warned Li Zhu not to follow him again.
Furthermore, he and Li Zhu did not have any intimate actions, so what did Xue Danrong smell?
Fang Chaozhou changed his hand to hold the teacup and said calmly, "What's that strange smell? Is it the smell of medicine?"
Five years ago, Xue Danrong and Li Zhu had confronted each other in the underground demon realm. Now Xue Dan has merged into the demon. If he knew about Li Zhu's existence, who knows what he would do. Xue Danrong was not well yet. Although Li Zhu was stupid and his cultivation was not particularly high, he had several highly skilled demon cultivators protecting him. Besides, Fang Chaozhou did not want to cause any trouble.
He now wanted to coax Xue Danrong back to get treatment as soon as possible.
The longer he delays, the more danger there will be. If one day, he can no longer coax Xue Danrong, then there may really be no way out of this situation.
After Fang Chaozhou finished speaking, he pulled his hand out again, but this time he pulled it out.
"The tea has been spilled. I'll pour you another cup." At the same time, he cast a spell on Xue Danrong's clothes to clean the tea stains.
Fang Chaozhou turned and went to the table. Just as he picked up the teapot, he heard light footsteps behind him. Then, he felt a pair of hands around his waist and a weight on his shoulders.
As Xue Danrong came closer, Leng Xiang followed suit.
"Brother, didn't you lie to me?" Xue Danrong slightly turned his eyes and stared at Fang Chaozhou's earlobe.
Fang Chaozhou paused while pouring the tea, but he quickly covered it up, "Why would I lie to you? I only went to the clinic. You said it tasted strange, probably because there were more people in the clinic."
Xue Danrong's eyes gradually turned cold, he lowered his eyes and hummed.
Fang Chaozhou didn't notice Xue Danrong's eyes. He just thought that the matter had been fooled and he felt relieved.
Ever since Xue Danrong got up in the middle of the night to look for him, Fang Chaozhou has been sleeping in the same bed with Xue Danrong. As he had a lot of things to do during the day, Fang Chaozhou could usually fall asleep as soon as he touched the pillow. But today he suddenly woke up in the middle of the night.
Before he regained consciousness, he turned his head to look outside the bed, and when he saw this, he found that he was the only one in the bed.
Fang Chaozhou immediately sat up and touched the mattress next to him. It was cold, as if no one had ever slept there. At that moment, many bad thoughts flashed through Fang Chaozhou's mind. He quickly threw off the quilt and stood up. Without even having time to put on his outer robe, he stepped into his shoes and rushed out.
The Brown Pheasant and the Garuda were sleeping in the outer room. The Garuda was much more alert than the Brown Pheasant, but it was also sleeping on its back. Fang Chaozhou took a look and found that not only the Brown Pheasant was under the spell of sleeping, but the Garuda as well.
This spell should have been cast by Xue Danrong.
Where did he go?
Fang Chaozhou suddenly thought of Li Zhu, but felt it was impossible. He had only met Li Zhu briefly. How could Xue Danrong know that the person he met was Li Zhu? Even if Xue Danrong knew, could he really find Li Zhu?
But no matter whether Xue Danrong went to find Li Zhu or not, his top priority was to find Xue Danrong. But this was not Zhichunzhou, and he could not find anyone by just using the breathing technique.
The streets were quiet in the middle of the night. Fang Chaozhou searched all the way and finally felt a strong fluctuation of spiritual power outside an inn in the south of the city. He stopped and turned to look at the second floor of the inn.
With a startled heart, he immediately flew to the roof. As soon as he flew up, he noticed that there was a barrier set up around this inn, but this barrier could no longer block the fluctuations of spiritual energy inside.
Normally, Fang Chaozhou would not do anything like breaking into other people's barrier, but he was really afraid that the person in the barrier was Xue Danrong, so he tried to break the barrier by force. As soon as he broke the barrier, he was blinded by a flash of sword light.
Fang Chaozhou couldn't help but close his eyes. When he opened them again, he saw several people standing in the backyard of the inn. Li Zhu was among them, and opposite them stood a young man in black.
The young man in black had loose hair and his snow-white face glowed like jade under the moonlight. Hold the sword in your right hand and tap the ground lightly. Different from the miserable looks of the people opposite him, his expression could even be described as wanton. The phoenix eyes under his black eyebrows carried murderous intent, and the cinnabar-red mole between his eyebrows was as red as blood, adding a bit of murderous aura.
When Fang Chaozhou saw the young man in black, he shouted out -
"Junior brother!"
This voice made everyone present pay attention to Fang Chaozhou. Li Zhu saw Fang Chaozhou in panic. For some reason, he felt that he saw his savior. He believed that Fang Chaozhou would definitely not let Xue Danrong kill him.
"Brother, Xue Danrong wants to kill me! I didn't provoke him."
He felt that he had indeed not provoked Xue Danrong, and he had not kidnapped Fang Chaozhou. He had only kidnapped a doctor from the clinic, questioned him and then released him. However, he did not know that Xue Danrong was more like a devil than him and actually came to kill him in the middle of the night.
The young man in black also heard Fang Chaozhou's voice. In addition to this voice, he also heard Li Zhu's voice. The murderous intent in his eyes became even heavier, and the Broken Water Sword, with tremendous anger, went straight towards Li Zhu. The several demon cultivators standing in front of Li Zhu immediately cast spells to block it, but they were still forced back several steps by the powerful swordsmanship, spitting blood, and the next move was about to arrive.
When Li Zhu saw the sword appear in front of his throat, his legs went weak and he fell to the ground. He got into a lot of trouble in his life, but there were always people who cleaned up his mess and protected him, so he was never so close to death.
The several demon cultivators his father sent to protect him were all knocked to the ground and couldn't even stand up.
Li Zhu stared at the sword blankly. When the sword light flashed past his eyes, he closed his eyes in fear.
But the imagined pain did not come.
Xue Danrong glanced at the person standing in front of him, and said in a very cold tone, "Brother, you want to protect him?"
"No." Fang Chaozhou denied decisively, "I think your behavior is correct, little junior brother, but your body is not well now, so leave the beating of Li Zhu to me."
Li Zhu suddenly heard Fang Chaozhou's voice and quickly opened his eyes, but he had not yet recovered from his great panic. His legs were still weak and he could not stand up at all.
After Fang Chaozhou finished speaking, he reached for the sword in Xue Danrong's hand and said, "Junior brother, wait for me over there. I'll be done soon."
Xue Danrong looked at Fang Chaozhou, as if wondering whether what Fang Chaozhou said was true or false. Just when Fang Chaozhou was about to touch his sword, he took a step back, "Brother, don't lie to me. You are just afraid that I will kill him." A chuckle escaped from his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes, "Then I must kill him today. If you insist on stopping me, kill me first."
After he finished speaking, he stared at Fang Chaozhou, wanting to know his reaction. When he saw the confusion in Fang Chaozhou's eyes, he couldn't help but grit his teeth, but the next moment, he heard Fang Chaozhou say.
"Do you really have to kill him? Can't you just beat him half to death? I think if you keep him, the Dark Soul Sect will collapse sooner or later. If you kill him, and Li Yiye finds a capable successor in the future, the Dark Soul Sect will probably not fall."
Xue Danrong didn't expect Fang Chaozhou to say such a thing. He was stunned for a moment, and Fang Chaozhou struck while the iron was hot, "If you kill him, it will only benefit the Dark Soul Sect. Maybe Li Zhu will die, and Li Yiye will thank you. At that time, the Dark Soul Sect may even hold a three-day wedding banquet." He turned sideways to look at Li Zhu on the ground, "Junior brother, look at him, he was frightened by your move and his legs were weak. He couldn't even stand up. Wouldn't it be better to keep him?"
Xue Danrong followed Fang Chaozhou's line of sight and looked at Li Zhu, his gaze moving from her face to her lower body. After a while, he spoke, "Brother is right."
After one stick of incense.
Li Zhu was finally rescued from the tree by the demon cultivator who had broken free from his immobilization spell. Before that, he was hung upside down on the tree. His fair little face was now covered in scars, and even one of his eyes was swollen.
The demon cultivators rescued the man and thought they would be scolded, but Li Zhu was very quiet this time. They couldn't help but whispered, "Young Sect Master."
Li Zhu was still a little dazed. When he heard the voice of "Young Sect Master", his eyes rolled around slowly and then he pushed away the demon cultivator who was supporting him. However, after pushing the man away, he fell to the ground himself.
Several demon cultivators saw this and didn't know whether they should help or not. While they were hesitating, they heard a muffled cry.
The crying soon turned from muffled to loud wails.
The demon cultivators panicked and immediately tried to help Li Zhu up, but as soon as they touched Li Zhu, Li Zhu grabbed the mud nearby and threw it at them, shouting, "Get out! Get out!"
The demon cultivators were afraid of angering Li Zhu, so they had to retreat with a smile on their faces. They did not retreat far, but just hid in the dark, guarding their young master.
Li Zhu, who was left there, cried for a long time before he gritted his teeth and got up from the ground. He wiped the tears from his face with his sleeves. There was mud on his sleeves, and the more he wiped, the dirtier his face became. Not only was it dirty, it also hurt.
Young people have always had strong self-esteem. Li Zhu whimpered in his throat. He reached out to grab his pants that were not yet dry and looked at the demon cultivator in the darkness. "I want to go home."
Under the moonlight, two shadows appeared side by side, long and thin. Xue Danrong looked at the shadows standing side by side and suddenly stopped. Fang Chaozhou beside him also stopped. He turned to look at the person next to him and said, "Are you cold? I'll give you your coat back."
Fang Chaozhou was wearing Xue Danrong's black robe at this time. He was in a hurry to go out, and not only did he forget to put on the robe, he even left his storage ring at his residence. I wanted to cast a spell and go back directly, but Xue Danrong said he was bored and wanted to walk back.
It is cold in late autumn, and worse at night.
Xue Danrong held Fang Chaozhou's hand and said, "I'm not cold." His expression was a little strange, with stubbornness and disappointment in his eyes. "I just want to ask you, brother, are you accompanying me because you sympathize with me? Do you... not like me at all?"
