Xin Yue took a long breath, feeling mixed emotions in her heart. People who were still alive not long ago suddenly withered in front of her. She felt unspeakably entangled and depressed in her heart.

"Come back to life, come back to life, why should you die?"

The smoke caused Xin Yue's tears to fall down, adding inexplicable sadness to the silence. With the fire behind her, her whole body was like an ice sculpture, motionless.

Just as she was about to stand up, something unexpected happened suddenly. The pillars beside her suddenly collapsed and rolled directly towards her. She could avoid it very quickly, but at this moment, there was a violent noise in the house, as if it was about to

collapsed.

Just when Xin Yue turned pale with fright and thought she could not escape the disaster, a pair of slightly cold hands suddenly stretched out from behind her, clasped her wrist tightly, and led her outside like the wind.

At the last second when the two ran out of the shrine door, the house behind them made a loud bang. The sound was so loud, it was like the roar of a beast before it died. The house crackled and scattered, falling to the ground in a mess.

The wind passed by his ears quickly, and a crisp breath came from Xin Yue's breath.

Xin Yue was held by someone's hand and ran towards the door quickly. Xin Yue looked sideways and saw the man with a jade-like face, black hair and dark eyes, slowly looking towards her in the flashing firelight.

.

There was a light of unknown meaning floating in the eyes as dark as an ancient pool, the bridge of the nose was high, the corners of the mouth were raised paradoxically, and there was a half-hearted smile. There was a trace of composure and wisdom beyond his age in his calmness.

When the wind blew up, he pulled Xin Yue and ran out quickly. The fire at the door was too bright. He frowned, and hugged Xin Yue's waist regardless, holding her thin body in his arms, not letting her go.

She was hit by the fire and ran out at an extremely fast speed.

"Master Yan!" Cheng Yuan quickly came around and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Yan Zhan was fine.

Yan Zhan put Xin Yue down and put out the fire on his clothes. Seeing Xin Yue staring at him unblinkingly, Yan Zhan smiled faintly:

"Did you get burned by the fire?"

Xin Yue's slight shock turned into a slight frown: "You...what's going on?"

Instead, Yan Zhan said in a thin and angry tone: "What's wrong with you? I just called you so loudly outside, why did you rush in?"

"You called me?" Seeing Yan Zhan nodding, Xin Yue remembered that when she first entered the gate, someone seemed to be calling her from behind, but she couldn't hear clearly.

"Did you see me go in? Have you been following me just now?" Xin Yue asked.

"Of course, otherwise you think I am a god who can appear in the shrine so quickly. You ran so fast that I almost couldn't catch up." Thinking of the way Xin Yue ran forward as hard as he could just now, Yan Zhan's lips curled up slightly.

A smile appeared on the ground.

Mentioning the shrine, Xin Yue raised his eyes: "Why is there someone so similar to you there?"

Yan Zhan was startled, and suddenly Xin Yue smiled, with an invisible coldness in his starry eyes: "This is not a coincidence."

The strong wind blew up and lifted the hair on the girl's forehead. Her originally plain little face was now black here and there, looking dirty and dirty. Her clothes were also in tatters and moved gently with the wind.

Yan Zhan took off his outer clothes and wanted to cover Xin Yue's body, but she sneered and moved her body away, taking a step back:

"I'm so stupid. If you could be plotted so easily, you would have died several times in the court. I'm really stupid for worrying about your life and death."

A smile appeared on her pale face, and she stood there motionless, as if she had lost the strength to move.

"No, please listen to my explanation."

Yan Zhan hurriedly grabbed Xin Yue's hand, but Xin Yue pulled it away in disgust and took a step back.

"Explain what? You have already arranged everything, haven't you? You should have known that Zhu Rui would show up in that inn. You knew that stupid me would pay attention to the people around the inn, and Zhu Rui would recognize me.

Come, then you will think that Xia Chuan is in your hands. Isn’t your entire purpose to release me and attract Zhu Rui to come?"

Xin Yue raised the corners of his lips slightly, his face was as pale as jade, and he stared at the man in front of him with a cold voice.

However, Yan Zhan didn't say a word, and Xin Yue's eyes became colder and colder, like ice cubes, irreversibly cold and silent.

"Sure enough, is it true?" The sarcasm at the corner of his mouth widened, and Xin Yue's voice was as deep as an ancient pond.

"I……"

"Master Yan has worked so hard to achieve this, is he trying to escape the golden cicada? Or is he trying to take advantage of his unpreparedness and strike Zhu Rui in the head?"

Xin Yue's increasingly mocking words made Yan Zhan's heart tighten. He hurriedly wanted to speak, but Xin Yue's words were blocked in his throat:

"Do you think I'm ridiculous? You've been tricked by someone and you still treat that person as a savior and a so-called friend. You're obviously using me to create a bigger plot, but I'm getting in there without caring about anything. So you're not

It's just a small favor for me. I'm so stupid that I want to cover this and that for you. I want to run into the fire to save you. You must be very happy when you see me almost crying in the shrine. It's very good.

Do you feel a sense of accomplishment?"

Xin Yue's eyes were slightly red as he spoke, but she smiled nonchalantly. Although tears were shining in her eyes, she pretended to be indifferent.

When he opened the door and went in, Xin Yue found that the people lying on the ground were all dead. At first, he didn't care. He was only worried about Yan Zhan's safety. Now that he thinks about it, that is probably proof that he has planned it for a long time.

Alright.

He left some dead people here, while his troops quietly retreated, and even found a stand-in that looked very similar to himself, and completed all this in a short time. Who would believe that he didn't prepare for it for a long time?

She was just a pawn in his hand to attract Zhu Rui, and she foolishly thought that he was a friend she could make friends with, a drop of warmth in the world of mortals.

It's all a scam.

In vain, she fought so hard against Shun Rui's men, risking her life in an attempt to lure them away.

In vain, she jumped into the icy water without hesitation and tried to save him even though she was frozen stiff.

In vain, she told herself that self-preservation was important and decided to leave, but she still returned to the shrine in an attempt to bring him out.

In vain, when she thought he was dead, she let her inner emotions boil and shouted at the substitute, asking him to come back to life like a fool.

"I'm so hypocritical. I can't stand it anymore. If I keep talking, I'll make myself sick to death." Xin Yue wiped tears from the corner of his eyes, regained his usual composure, smiled carelessly, turned around and left.

"Wait a minute."

Yan Zhan's voice sounded behind Xin Yue, and Xin Yue continued to move forward regardless.

"Stop her."

Suddenly, many people stood out on the road, blocking Xin Yue's way.
