"Third Protector, you have always been witty and perceptive, but there is a spy hidden under you. Did you know?" Jin Lie slowly turned around and looked at the expressionless Meng Zirou with a smile, his triangular eyes flashing.
With a cunning smile of a successful conspiracy.
Meng Zirou's heart suddenly sank. She naturally knew who this "spy" was, but she didn't expect that Jin Lie also knew about it and would bite her back so quickly. After regaining her composure, Meng Zirou spoke coldly.
Said: "This is my family matter. I and my entourage do not belong to the Pingle Kingdom, and the third elder has no right to interfere with this."
——"I really shouldn't interfere in the household affairs of the Third Protector. But you are now in the Pingle Kingdom. Once something happens, it will inevitably affect Chiyu. Therefore, I hope that the Third Protector can put an end to it as soon as possible to reduce worries."
Although Jin Lie's words were polite, the meaning was expressed very clearly. If you, Meng Zirou, don't show off, then I'm sorry, and please leave as soon as possible. Meng Zirou naturally heard his "expulsion order"
, snorted coldly, and just about to speak, Lu Xiao took the lead and answered: "It's already late today. We all need a good rest. Before tomorrow's dinner, we will definitely get to the bottom of it and give you a satisfactory answer.
."
"Okay! It's settled!" Wuxin was afraid that Jin Lie would make things difficult again, so he hurriedly agreed. After all, these people found Qingshui and solved a big problem for the Pingle Kingdom. If they really wanted to expel them like this
It really makes no sense to leave. Now that Lu Xiao has made a concession, he can't say anything more.
Jin Lie didn't bother much, he just laughed coldly and walked out of Wu Xin's room surrounded by everyone. Meng Zirou suppressed her anger, glared at Wu Xin fiercely, and raised her legs.
After stepping out of the door, Lu Xiao had no choice but to follow closely.
As soon as she walked into the backyard, Meng Zirou immediately turned around, stared angrily at Lu Xiao behind her, and lost her temper like a barrage of anger: "What on earth is going on? It was clearly Jin Lie who betrayed his brothers and the country, how could he do this so casually?"
In just one sentence, he has become a great hero who endures humiliation and bears the burden? Wu Xin, the big pumpkin, is a fool. Are you, Lu Xiao, also stupid? Do we have to punish Xing Yun for these bastards who don’t distinguish between right and wrong? Now Mo Mo
The poison of the bamboo has been detoxified, and there is no need for us to stay here. Why did you agree to them and deal with it before tomorrow's dinner? Why should I do this! ------"
"Rou'er, you should know that Xingyun is a spy arranged by Han Ji to be with us. There is no loss for us by pulling him out." Lu Xiao looked at the angry woman in front of him tenderly and couldn't help but laugh.
Now Meng Zirou has become more and more stable and capable. Perhaps only in front of herself, she will show such true temperament. This also shows from the side that he is already the most trustworthy person for her.
——"I know all this. But you also said that Xingyun's nature is not bad. As long as we treat him well, he will most likely abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side. And after going through so many things, in addition to secretly reporting our whereabouts to Han Ji, he
Besides, he didn't do anything to harm us, but instead tried his best to help us many times. How could we do anything to harm him now? What's more, now that Han Ji is dead, his identity as a spy is completely meaningless.
Why do we need to create new details and pursue what happened in the past?"
Meng Zirou, who was in excitement, did not notice that something seemed to tremble in the shadow in the corner, and calmed down again in an instant. But this small fluctuation did not escape Lu Xiao's eyes. He stretched out his hand to hold Meng Zirou down.
He raised his shoulder and signaled her to stop talking, staring closely at the corner not far away. For a moment, a cold smile suddenly broke out on his handsome face: "Xingyun, after hiding there and eavesdropping for so long, it's time to
Come out!"
Meng Zirou turned around suddenly, and then she realized that a strong man was slowly walking towards him. Under the cold moonlight, a young face looked a little pale, but it did not affect his handsomeness and fortitude at all. It was just his cold eyes.
His eyes were bloodshot, as if he had been hit hard, flashing with grief, anger and madness: "Master, you just said that Han Ji is dead, right?"
"Yes!" Meng Zirou hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. After all, paper can't contain the fire, and Xingyun will know about Han Ji's death sooner or later. And when the matter has reached this point, there is no need to hide it.
——"How did she die?"
"On the snowy mountain, Han Ji colluded with the Night Emperor Demon to sneak attack on us------" Lu Xiao simply told what happened, without concealing the fact that Han Ji was forced to the edge of the cliff and committed suicide by jumping off the cliff.
He knew in his heart that Han Ji's death would always be a knot in Xingyun's mind. If it couldn't be opened immediately now, no matter what choices Xingyun made in the future, it would leave endless troubles.
Xingyun's face was still cold, without any change. But everyone could see that his eyes were suddenly filled with the hollowness and cruelty of death. As a member of the Wuxi Clan, he naturally knew that the snow-capped mountains had long been set.
Under the barrier, the art of wind control and phantom movement have been sealed. If you jump from such a high cliff, if no one rescues you, you won't even be able to leave a complete body, let alone survive.
Slowly closing his eyes, Xingyun didn't move for a long time, letting the night wind cut his cheek like a blade, and the shadow of Han Ji kept flashing in his mind. Charming, shy, pure, charming, no matter where.
They are all so familiar and touching. The sweet promise rang in my ears: "When you complete this mission and help the Demon Lord find the earth spirit------we can be together forever."
Now!". This was Han Ji's promise to herself before leaving, and it was also her long-term dream. But all of this could never be realized again.
After a long time, Xingyun let out a deep breath and suddenly opened his eyes. A murderous aura quickly filled the air. A judge's pen suddenly appeared in his hand and he said directly to Lu Xiao: "Great Protector, take action!"
"Xingyun, are you crazy?" Meng Zirou stepped forward and quickly stood in front of Lu Xiao. Although the Chi Lian sword was not unsheathed, the aura exuding from her body was enough to overwhelm everything: "If you dare to take action,
,Don’t blame me for being rude to you!”
To be honest, Meng Zirou would not really harm Xingyun, and she absolutely believed that Lu Xiao was more than capable of dealing with him. The reason why he did this was just to prevent Xingyun from taking action, after all, she was still his master in name.
——"Master! You can kill me immediately, but you will never stop me from avenging Han Ji!"
——"Is it worth it for a woman like that?"
——"Han Ji is the first woman who made me feel warm. In that world of ice and snow, everyone sticks to their own indifference. There is no family affection or friendship. Apart from constant cultivation, there is nothing else to be found in life.
It’s less than a little bit of fun. When I had been practicing for nearly thousands of years but still couldn’t turn into a human form, it was Han Ji who put her spiritual energy into my body and helped me get through the last hurdle. It was Han Ji who made me the first
I feel what it’s like to love someone.”
——"She's just using you!"
——"That was just her idea. She was the first woman I fell in love with, and I was willing to do things for her. Now that she is dead, I want to avenge her. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"Okay, since you are so determined to have your own way, let me clean up the house for the master!" A sad voice suddenly sounded. Although it said cold words, it made people feel distressed after hearing it.
Xingyun's pupils shrank suddenly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face instantly: "Mo Zhu, are you awake?"
Meng Zirou turned around and found that Mo Zhu, supported by Xian Yin, and Chi Lian, were slowly walking towards this side. To Meng Zirou's relief, her exposed skin had returned to its fair color.
Apparently all the toxins in the body have been removed by the purified water. On his thin and pale face, a pair of charming red phoenix eyes were looking resentfully at Xing Yun across from him, and said sadly: "What can we do if we are better? We don't have to be sober."
Watching you and the master, the Great Protector, fighting for their lives. Xingyun, we have been together day and night for such a long time, don’t you really feel the sincerity that I--all of us have for you?"
Xingyun silently turned his head to one side, his thin lips tightly closed, and his bright star-like eyes stubbornly stared at the empty air without saying a word. Facing Mo Zhu who was infatuated with him, he
There is really no other choice but to remain silent. If such an accident had not happened, he might have accepted this kind and elegant girl subtly, and even chosen to give up his identity as a spy and start a new life. But now
Everything is impossible, Han Ji is dead, and he must avenge this woman. This is a responsibility and an explanation of his past.
