Chapter 143143
Sure enough, as soon as Nan Yan finished speaking, the leader opposite her frowned subconsciously.
Especially when I feel the two slender and soft little fingers of the lady wrapped around my waist, which are obviously harmless, I feel inexplicably weak in my heart.
The leader, who had a kind of beast-like intuition, was very sensitive to the problem, and immediately shook his head and said, "That day will never come. I will protect you."
Nan Yan pinched him slightly and glanced at him. It was obvious that she was not satisfied with the answer. She continued to ask unhappily, "What if, what if?"
In the past, as a wife, she would not have dared to make such a fuss. But now she has figured out this man's bottom line and knows how much he indulges her in his heart.
Nan Yan couldn't help but pursed her lips. Why didn't she seize the opportunity to act pretentiously? If she didn't make him suffer so much that his hair fell out, it would be unworthy of how gently and attentively she had coaxed him some time ago.
Yu Liuyun still frowned, touched her little hand, and suddenly looked at her seriously and said, "There won't be such a if, Yanyan, are you scared by what happened tonight?"
"Don't worry about these messy things that will never happen. I will protect you in the future and won't let anyone hurt you, so there won't be such ifs."
Nan Yan thought silently in her heart, it sounds nice to say, but she doesn't know if the person in front of her will be the one who hurts her the most.
Nan Yan was still not satisfied after hearing this. She turned around and asked him gloomily, "Why not? Is it because you can't choose a husband? But if you really care about someone you like, would it be so difficult to choose? You clearly don't care about me."
Yu Liuyun's brows never relaxed. "No, it's not what you think, Yanyan, stop imagining it, okay?"
"I just don't know how to say it. If you just say it, it's easy to do, but if you really encounter this situation one day, who can say what choice you will make?"
Nan Yan raised her eyes to look at him, feeling even more annoyed, "Why can't you tell? What are you hesitating about?"
Yu Liuyun relaxed his brows slightly and told her the reason in his heart, "Because I consider the problem from a different angle than you do, Yanyan, you have never been involved in the martial arts world before, so you don't know how treacherous people are in this world. If there really comes such a day, if I choose you, it will only put you in a more dangerous situation."
Seeing the doubtful look in the man's eyes, Yu Liuyun's heart softened, and his tone became lighter. He whispered, "Have you forgotten that we are the demons that those decent people despise? Once they find your weakness, they will seize this opportunity and target you without any scruples. That's why I hesitated. So until the last moment, no one can predict what will happen in the future."
Nan Yan was stunned.
I thought to myself that I had been fooled by him. His perspective on problems was indeed different from that of ordinary people. Which normal person is like him? He has eight hundred tricks in his body and analyzed the problem so thoroughly.
Is this the answer to a rational analysis of the question she wants to hear? She is clearly making a fuss and making trouble out of nothing.
Bah, who wants to listen to your standard answer!
After hearing this answer, Nan Yan's chest felt even more blocked. She raised her eyes slightly, her eyes still had a hint of tears from crying. After being kissed by him, her cheeks were slightly red, and the corners of her eyes seemed to be stained with a layer of rouge, revealing a peachy pink.
She pushed him away. She was not going to let him go today. Her tone was more sullen, angry and resentful. "Who wants to listen to your serious analysis of the problem? You analyze it so thoroughly. Do you think I'm one of your subordinates? You are giving me such a long speech. What's wrong with me just wanting to hear a few nice words? Can't you just say something nice to comfort me?"
Yu Liuyun: “…”
So, is his wife deliberately acting coquettishly towards him?
Yu Liuyun's eyes flickered slightly, and he turned to look at his wife with such eyes. She turned her face away and snorted in grievance. Suddenly, all the depressed emotions in the leader's heart disappeared, leaving only a warm feeling.
He couldn't help but pursed his lips, a smile suddenly appeared in his eyes, and then he kissed the chattering little mouth, "I know, I choose you, is this okay?"
Nan Yan was startled by the surprise attack and she blinked.
She finally felt much better. After all, she had transformed the cold and indifferent leader into a person who would actively coax others. Nan Yan felt a sense of accomplishment.
The corners of her mouth twitched, and she wanted to smile but had to suppress it. Then she turned her head to look at the man and asked, pretending to be ignorant, "Then let me ask you, are you still thinking about your fiancée in your heart? If there is a chance in the future, do you still want to keep her by your side?"
After hearing this, the leader's expression paused slightly, and his eyes dimmed slightly, because if it wasn't for the future, he would have already imprisoned that person by his side now.
Thinking of the ex-fiancée trapped in the underground palace...
Yu Liuyun's heart suddenly skipped a beat, especially when Yanyan asked this question, he suddenly felt a subtle sense of guilt and uneasiness in his heart.
He didn't want to lie to his wife, but he couldn't tell the truth at this moment, so he turned his head away from her sight and then held her in his arms without leaving any trace.
"Are these things important to you?"
Hearing this, Nan Yan asked him softly and angrily, "Are these things not important?"
Hearing this persistent question, the leader frowned and held her tighter, as if he was worried that something would be discovered. "Yanyan, I have my own reasons for doing everything. Can you stop asking about these things? You never paid attention to these things before."
Nan Yan chuckled in her heart, yes, she didn't care about these things before, that was because he kept it a secret so well, she didn't know anything at all. Sure enough, now that she asked this question, this man started to avoid it. Well, since the relationship is there, it's time to calm down for a while.
But if you want to act, you have to do it in full. Thinking of this, she showed a depressed look on her face again. She reached out and pushed her husband's chest, then turned her face away and said obediently, "I understand what my husband means. I won't ask anymore in the future."
Her eyelashes drooped slightly, and her long and thick eyelashes obscured the expression in her eyes. With this look, anyone could tell that she must be sulking again, and this sulking was not just ordinary anger, but something she really kept in her heart.
Yu Liuyun just felt that something was wrong. He had never been treated like this by his wife before. He suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart, and it was all his fault.
Yu Liuyun opened his mouth and wanted to explain, "Yanyan, you know, that's not what I meant..."
"I know what my husband means."
Nan Yan interrupted him without waiting for him to finish, then turned away and didn't want to look at him.
"It's just that it's getting dark now. I'm a little tired and want to rest. My husband should go back and rest as well. You have to get up early tomorrow to deal with church affairs. You don't have to worry about me anymore."
Sure enough, just as he finished speaking, he saw the leader opposite him frowning, as if he had encountered a martial arts move that was even more troublesome than the most difficult one he had ever cracked.
Yu Liuyun looked at her expression and wanted to say something else, but the person in his arms suddenly turned over and rolled directly from his arms onto the bed. She rolled just right, with her back facing him, looking like she was unwilling to discuss anything.
Yu Liuyun frowned and stared at his wife's back for a long time, but she never turned back to look at him.
After a while, Yu Liuyun rubbed his swollen brows and felt that tonight might not be a good time and such a topic was indeed not suitable to be discussed anymore.
He reached out and pulled the messy quilt over, then gently covered the person underneath, "Well, since nothing happened, then you can rest first. However, if you have any worries in the future, you can tell me directly, and don't keep it to yourself like this."
After Yu Liuyun smoothed the quilt for her, he looked at his wife lying on the bed, who refused to even look at him. Suddenly, he felt a tightness in his chest and felt upset.
I've never been so bored.
He didn't know how to describe the feelings in his heart at the moment. He was indeed thinking about his fiancée, and he really cared about her. Since he was fourteen, he was told that Lin Pianran would be his wife for the rest of his life.
They had been together, spending the most ignorant and frivolous moments of their youth.
Naturally, they had been attracted to each other, but when he was at his most humble and desperate, the woman mercilessly trampled him into the mud. She treated him like a beggar, crushed the token of their love, and broke his leg.
How could he possibly endure such humiliation?
He was really unwilling!
If he just let her go without holding a grudge, what would be the meaning of him risking his life to test the poison and gritting his teeth to persevere? It was obviously that deep-rooted hatred that supported him and kept him alive in pain.
From his high-spirited teenage years to the time when the Yu family was wiped out, Lin Pianran occupied almost all of his mind in his youth. All his joys, sorrows, anger and happiness were caused by her, and she controlled all his emotions.
The more he cared at first, the more resentful he became later. If it weren't for that lingering hatred, he might not have been able to hold on until the moment he recovered his martial arts.
Whenever he thought of that woman, he felt as if his heart was being burned by a fire. The unwillingness and humiliation of being spurned, as well as the chaotic and complicated emotions, tortured him all the time.
So he wanted to make her regret and suffer. Didn't she look down on him? Didn't she dislike him and look down on him? He wanted to mix her, the high-ranking daughter of a noble family, with him, the leader of a demonic cult despised by everyone.
He just wanted to take revenge on her and let her experience the despair of falling from a high position into the mud.
He used to like her, but now, he doesn't know what kind of feeling it is.
But the only thing I can be sure of is,
Lin Pianran can only be his!
He would not let her go, nor would he watch her live with another man and become a pair of immortal lovers.
If he had been asked to choose between his wife and his ex-fiancee, he would have chosen Lin Pianran without hesitation, simply because all his emotions were caused by that woman. He resented her, but he also really cared about her.
But now...
Thinking of Nan Yan, Yu Liuyun's thoughts paused.
He really had no feelings for his wife before, and he married her because he was forced. His life after marrying her was no different from before, except that he never took her to heart. But now, things have become a little different.
When I thought of her, a sweet feeling suddenly arose in my heart.
If there was only one person in the world who would not betray him, it would undoubtedly be his wife.
No matter how terrible things he has experienced or how miserable he has become, there is always someone in this world who supports him unconditionally... and cares about him.
She approached him cautiously and loved him wholeheartedly. She would not change because of his identity, nor would she abandon him just because he lost everything.
It turns out that in this world...
There is also someone who will never leave him, no matter he was a beggar in the past or a big devil hated by everyone now, his wife has never despised him.
How is it possible that this doesn't make him excited?
My heart seemed to be wrapped in a ball of soft and gentle warm water, and an unprecedented strange emotion surged up.
People all yearn for warmth and to be cared for. Even if he is as suspicious and fickle as he is, and refuses to truly trust anyone in his heart, he still hopes that there will be someone who will always stand behind him and wait for him.
If he turned around, he would be able to see her.
And now, he finally met this person.
Therefore, he began to care about his wife's feelings, and secretly did not want her to know what he did in secret, for he was afraid that she would be sad.
However, she seemed to have noticed something recently. So, what should he do now?
Should he abandon the past hatred and start over with his wife, or should he continue to drag her along and struggle in the mud with him?
Compared to love, resentment seems to remain in people's hearts longer.
Yu Liuyun eventually left with mixed emotions.
After his figure finally left, the two people hiding in the house couldn't help but come out.
Murong Tuo, in particular, almost couldn't wait to crawl out from under the bed after making sure that the noise outside had completely ceased.
"Witch..."
Murong Tuo almost gritted his teeth as he uttered those words.
His handsome face flushed red, he was angry and annoyed, his hand still tightly grasping the black handkerchief, and there was a bruise of medium size on the back of his fair hand, which was clearly caused by Nan Yan's ruthless crushing.
Look at what he stepped on, there is really not a bit of moisture in it. This is a real death trampling.
Murong Tuo stood by the bed, almost jumping up and down in anxiety, "Witch, why are you pretending to be dumb? Don't think I don't know you did it on purpose, you are clearly seeking revenge."
Nan Yan snorted in her heart, she was of course taking revenge on purpose, who made this man so bad-tempered and look like he deserved a beating? If it weren't for his senior brother watching her, she would definitely have cheated him to the point of making him doubt his life!
Zhao Xiuyan, who came out later, took a look at the back figure on the bed and felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, so he subconsciously scolded, "Junior brother, stop making trouble. We have been delayed for too long tonight. It's time to go back."
Unfortunately, Murong Tuo was so angry that he could not hear his senior brother's words of comfort. He turned around and glared at his senior brother, "I made a fuss? When did I make a fuss? Senior brother, are you still my senior brother? How long have you known her? Why do you always protect her?"
After Murong Tuo finished speaking, he turned around and glared at Nan Yan again, but that person stood with her back to them and did not move, as if she had not heard anything. He suddenly felt even more annoyed.
He subconsciously reached out and pulled the man's shoulder, turning the man over. When he raised his eyes, he saw that the man's face was pale, and a few tears flowed from the corners of his eyes into his temples. His hair was wet from crying and stuck together. He had no idea when he started crying.
Murong Tuo was stunned.
He didn't expect that he had only said a few words and the man started crying.
She cried so much that the corners of her eyes were red. When he turned her over, her tearful eyes looked straight at him, with crystal tears hanging at the corners of her eyes, and she looked very sad.
Murong Tuo stared with his eyes wide open, his body froze. At first he was so angry that his face turned red, but now he was so anxious that he scratched his ears, and uttered, "This, this is none of my business, it really is none of my business! Brother, you saw it all, I didn't do anything, I really didn't bully her this time, I just, I just said a few words!"
In fact, he didn't intend to do anything to this person. After all, he had already stepped on him, and he couldn't step back. That would make him look ungraceful. After all, he still had his dignity.
But she should at least pretend to be nice, just say sorry to him and give him some face. Now there is no need to say anything, he is already overwhelmed!
He felt extremely troubled when the woman was frightened and cried just now. Now he made her cry again. He didn't know what to do.
Zhao Xiuyan thought more deeply. He looked at his junior brother who was scratching his head anxiously, pushed him away, and said, "It's not because of you, junior brother, you don't have to be so anxious."
Huh? It's not because of him.
When Murong Tuo heard this, he immediately felt relieved, but how did his senior brother know that?
He immediately turned to look at his senior brother.
Zhao Xiuyan ignored his junior's puzzled look. He frowned slightly, walked forward a little, and soon relaxed his brows. Then he spoke calmly, "Miss, are you so sad because your husband didn't tell you the truth?"
When Murong Tuo heard this, he immediately turned around and looked at the woman who was pursing her lips and crying. His eyes widened and he seemed to have realized what was going on. However, his thoughtful look made his once-eye-catching face look less stunning.
Yes, that must be it. It has nothing to do with him.
It wasn't him who made this guy cry.
Fortunately, it’s none of his business.
Murong Tuo looked at this man, and as he thought about this, his previous emotions calmed down. He walked up to him and said, "Hey, now you know we didn't lie to you, right?"
"Your husband has indeed deceived you. Not only has he not forgotten his ex-fiancée, my sister Pianpian, he has also used all means to capture her. She is now imprisoned somewhere in the underground palace of your Xuancang Sect. If you still refuse to believe it, you can go and find her yourself."
"Well, now you believe it and know what kind of person your husband is from beginning to end."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the woman who was lying on the bed change her expression slightly, then she sat up from the bed, staring at him hatefully, accusing him and crying silently.
"Yes, now you are satisfied?"
She shed tears, looking even weaker and more helpless. "My husband has been lying to me from the beginning to the end. Are you very proud of yourself? Do you think you have done something very righteous?"
"Why did you show up? Why did you tell me this? Why did you disrupt my peaceful life? Who cares about you telling me? Who cares about you suddenly barging in? You are not good people either!"
Murong Tuo's eyes widened when he heard this. For a moment, he felt that his kindness was taken for granted. He was kindly reminded, but was scolded for meddling in other people's business.
Fortunately, he was thick-skinned enough. At this moment, his jade-like face inevitably turned red again. He kept saying "you, you" for a long time, and finally he could only say one sentence out of anger,
"Master, I kindly reminded you, and you didn't appreciate it, but you actually said this. Do you want to be deceived all the time?"
Even the most gentle of temperaments will explode at some point. Nan Yan was like that at the moment. She cried out to him as if to vent, "What does that have to do with you? I was deceived and that's my own business. Who cares if you meddle in my business?"
"You, you simply don't know what's good for you."
Hopeless and unreasonable!
The young master of the Murong family had never suffered such a humiliation before, being accused and scolded like this.
But tonight was really weird. I was so angry at this guy again and again, and I didn't know what to do.
Murong Tuo was so angry and hateful. This witch really didn't know what was good and what was bad. No wonder she was deceived!
Zhao Xiuyan felt helpless when he saw his junior fellow apprentice being impulsive and irritable. The girl suddenly found out that she had been deceived by her lover, and she was already in a bad mood at this moment. But he still went up to her and made himself embarrassed. Isn't this asking for trouble?
He really deserved to be taught a lesson.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Xiuyan turned his head to look at the crying girl again, and said in a low voice with a hint of soothing, "We are very sorry that we two brothers broke in and offended the girl tonight, but since this matter is a fact, it is impossible to pretend that it never happened. If the girl really doesn't want to believe the facts and just indulges in your husband's deception of you, then just pretend that we brothers never showed up tonight."
"My junior brother and I swear here that we will not tell anyone else about what happened tonight. Miss, don't worry about your reputation being damaged."
Zhao Xiuyan hesitated again, raised his eyes to look at Nan Yan who still had her eyes down, and then couldn't help but say, "However, if the young lady regrets it, you can also send someone to come to the Yuelai Inn at the foot of the mountain to find us."
"I know that you care about your husband, and so do I. I came here to rescue my fiancée. If you can help us rescue my fiancée, I will protect her from now on and will never let her have any contact with your husband again."
"Can the girl accept such a result?"
After Zhao Xiuyan finished speaking, his gaze fell on the woman opposite him again. He clearly saw the woman's eyelashes tremble slightly. She unconsciously clenched her fingers, as if she was hesitating, and her fingertips turned slightly white.
Zhao Xiuyan did not force this man. After he finished speaking, he gestured to his junior fellow apprentice. Then the two of them covered their faces with scarves and prepared to leave.
Just as Zhao Xiuyan turned around and left, the man behind him suddenly stood up and subconsciously grabbed his wrist. The soft and delicate palm gently pressed against the bite wound, which felt slightly itchy.
"Wait a moment." Nan Yan's voice was a little hoarse. She raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Xiuyan in front of her. Because she had just cried, the tears on her eyelashes had not dried yet. She stared at this man closely.
Being looked at like that, Zhao Xiuyan forgot to break away for a moment and just let her hold him.
Nan Yan pursed her lips and seemed a little conflicted, but because what he said really touched her heart, she had to compromise.
She hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Are you telling the truth? As long as I help you rescue that woman, you will take her away from here forever, never show up in front of me and my husband, and never bother us again, right?"
When Zhao Xiuyan heard what she said, he knew that the other party was willing to help them. If the leader's wife could cooperate with them from the inside, then rescue Pianpian without alarming Lu Liuyun, then the possibility should be extremely high.
So he nodded, "Yes, it's just as you said, I will take Pianpian back to get married, and even if your husband is unwilling, he can't do anything to a married woman."
Well, that's not necessarily the case.
When Nan Yan heard this, she thought to herself, you must have underestimated my stubborn husband, the leader. That man's temper is not something that ordinary people can control. Unless he doesn't want something anymore, he will never let it go even if he dies.
Nan Yan pursed her lips, and seemed to feel relieved after hearing these words. Then she raised her eyes and looked straight into his eyes.
"I can help you, but you have to keep your promise and not tell anyone about this."
When she said this, she glanced at Master Murong who was sulking beside her. The man was still angry. He snorted and turned his head away, refusing to pay any attention to her.
Zhao Xiuyan smiled and nodded at her, "I will keep my promise, and so will he. No one else will know about this except you and us."
After hearing his assurance, Nan Yan finally showed a relieved expression, then loosened her grip on his hand, nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, I will help you. When I find where the girl is being held, I will send someone to pass on the message to you."
Hearing her say this, Zhao Xiuyan paused for a moment, then took out a jade heart-shaped lock from his bosom and handed it to her, "Okay, use this as a proof when you pass on the message. Also, my fiancée recognizes this. If you find her, tell her that I'm trying to save her, and tell her not to be afraid."
Nan Yan hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took the heart-shaped lock from his palm.
Afterwards, the two of them left together, and peace finally returned to the house.
Well, very good. After all the twists and turns, she still has to help these two people. Nan Yan's mouth curled up slightly, touching this high-quality jade heart-shaped lock, which is indeed a good thing.
