At that time, the bright moon was in the sky, and it seemed like I had returned to the original Tang Mansion in a trance.
It's just that the yard is gone and the tree is gone.
The girl playing the piano lowered her head slightly and looked at the gurgling stream not far away from the corner of her eye.
But tonight...Jiang Ran was not poisoned.
Tang Shiqing spoke softly:
"You...let me go. I really won't run away."
Jiang Ran let go of the hand holding her arm and frowned slightly:
"So, why run?"
He asked this question just once, but Tang Shiqing did not answer.
Now that old things were brought up again, Tang Shiqing looked around, then at Jiang Ran.
Her eyes were light and clear, with light hidden in them, as bright as stars.
But now, there seems to be a bit of unintelligent disguise hidden in these eyes, and he coughed lightly and said:
"When did you come to Liuyuan?
"I didn't even notice you."
"...You're not talking about him right or wrong, are you?"
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows.
This is not their first meeting, but from Jiang Ran's perspective, this is only their second meeting.
But for some reason, Jiang Ran couldn't feel the slightest bit strange or alienated towards her.
Now that I think about it, when I drank that cup of tea, it was because I didn't have the Zhengxin Sutra to protect me, and I was deceived by Tang Shiqing's demonic methods.
Or...even if she didn't use any means against him, he couldn't refuse her tea?
But now, Jiang Ran is very sure that this familiarity is not because he has been tricked.
The Zhengxin Sutra of Creation will not make any omissions in this matter.
Tang Shiqing opened her mouth and smiled, which seemed a bit dry.
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows:
"You should really call those people just now and see what you look like now."
Tang Shiqing shook her head:
"Don't show it to them..."
"Then why run?"
Jiang Ran emphasized his tone slightly this time:
"answer me."
"..."
Tang Shiqing squeezed out a few words through her teeth.
At this moment, even though Jiang Ran's inner strength was monstrous, he couldn't hear clearly what the girl said.
Immediately he frowned:
"louder."
"I'm too embarrassed to see you..."
After Tang Shiqing said this, her head was buried, as if she didn't even have the courage to look at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran was stunned:
"Why don't you have the face to see me? What did you do to make me sorry?"
"of course not!!"
Tang Shiqing quickly looked at Jiang Ran:
"How could I do something so sorry to you?"
"That's it, since you haven't done anything sorry for me, why don't you have the face to see me?"
Jiang Ran tilted his head and looked at her.
Tang Shiqing was confused and said:
"Because...I lied to you before.
"Actually, I don't want to lie to you.
"It's just that over the years, you have grown up as an ordinary person, and in your world, there are only you and your master.
"Suddenly I find you and tell you that you are not alone.
"There is someone who likes you silently...and has liked you for many years.
"There is still a group of people who hope to find you and make you the leader of the Demon Cult.
"These things will definitely have a big impact on you.
"If... if you have reached the point where you have to use my life to save your life from death, I will tell you everything.
"However, knowing that you still have a way to go, both I and my parents hope that you can go on the path you want to take.
"Don't torture yourself for anything... make it difficult for yourself and change yourself.
"And among all of this, the person who should least see you is me."
When she said this, her eyes gradually became calm.
Jiang Ran was happy when he heard this:
"Why?
"I already know what you have done from my master.
"You are truly lucky to be able to save this life now.
"You have sacrificed so much for me, but you don't even dare to see me once?"
"Don't dare..."
Tang Shiqing said in a low voice:
"The reason why Uncle Duan wants to tell you is that, actually, it depends on me.
"Because, from beginning to end, I didn't want to tell you these things.
"Since that year, I have used the secret method of asking the heart to knock on the door of my heart, and since I got the answer... I have thought about it.
"The fact that I am happy with you is just my business and has nothing to do with you.
"No matter what price I pay for you, it is not a yoke that you should bear.
"Because I am willing, I just hope you can be well...
"Rather than hoping that you can repay me for this.
"Actually, if I think about it, if I had really died the night you came to the Tang Mansion, maybe there would be no worries.
"Now that I have saved my life, I don't know how to face you... Especially, I am worried that you will not be able to see your heart clearly because of this.
"I like you, and I hope you can treat me the same way, not to repay my kindness to you.
“It’s just that these things feel messy when I sort them out myself.
"How can I ask you to sort it out clearly?"
When Jiang Ran heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
Tang Shiqing was stunned, bit her lower lip, and looked at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran lowered his head and glanced at her, but was slightly stunned.
The beauty's anger was invisible, but it still made Jiang Ran's heart skip a beat.
Tang Huayi was right.
Tang poetry is really beautiful.
As a man, it is impossible to be remembered by such a beauty for so many years without any ripples in his heart.
How virtuous and capable am I to let such a girl risk her life for myself?
Tang Shiqing's annoyance became more and more obvious, and Jiang Ran's smile became more and more exaggerated.
"...What on earth are you laughing at?"
Tang Shiqing should have continued to be angry, but seeing him smile, the anger in her heart was inexplicably diluted.
Instead, she giggled along with him.
But this question still needs to be asked.
I talked to him heart-to-heart so much, but in the end I got ridicule from him?
Although Tang Shiqing knew everything about his personality, she still wanted to bite him hard to stop Mo Yaoniao from being so arrogant.
"I'm laughing, you clearly have a clear mind and act decisively.
"Why can't I understand it when it happens to me?
"You like me, but you didn't grow in my belly, so how can you know my thoughts?"
Jiang Ran said softly:
"By avoiding it like this, isn't it just hurting myself?
"Whether everything you have done is a shackle for me, if I respond to you, is it out of my true heart, or is it because I am grateful for everything you have done for me.
"If you and I keep avoiding each other like this, how can we see clearly?
"You can't hope that I will be happy with a woman I only know her name but have never met, right?
"Or... do you think that night in the Tang Mansion was like a glimpse of ten thousand years?
"I think this is all wrong.
"Whether or not you are heartbroken, you should always get along and see.
"At least, the marriage that the old drunkard and your father have decided will always be between you and me.
"I never broke off my engagement with Mr. Tang.
"The old drunkard never said that this marriage is over... we have to make some plans for the future."
"from now on……"
Tang Shiqing looked at Jiang Ran.
"Give us a chance."
Jiang Ran said softly:
"You know more about me than I know.
"I don't know anything about you at all.
"At least, let me know what kind of person you are... I should also let you know what kind of person I am.
"When you and I really understand each other, all the answers will be there.
"When you discover my true identity, you might not like me anymore..."
"Will not!"
Tang Shiqing spoke subconsciously.
Jiang Ran glanced at her when he heard this:
"What do you like me?"
"Face!"
I don’t even think about the love of Tang poetry.
"..."
Jiang Ran suddenly wanted to say goodbye to her and never see her again!
Are you willing to sacrifice your life for such a superficial reason?
Should I be grateful to my parents, whom I have never met before, for giving me such a face that bewitches the devil?
But when he saw the thin smile on Tang Shiqing's face, Jiang Ran suddenly realized:
"I finally know something about you."
"what?"
Tang Shiqing asked quickly:
"What do you know about me? Tell me."
"Did not say!"
Jiang Ran shook his head:
"I'm going to write down everything I know about you in a small book, and I'll settle accounts with you one by one in the future."
"ah!!"
Tang Shiqing suddenly became nervous: "How do you want to settle the score?"
Jiang Ran laughed:
"I'm teasing you."
"Why are you so bad?"
Tang Shiqing suddenly said: "Sure enough, what you said is right. I know that you have learned many strange skills from Uncle Duan. However, what you learned from the book is really superficial... Only after I really get in touch with you,
Only then can you discover what kind of person you are..."
"So, are you still happy with me?"
Jiang Ran looked at her:
"Do you feel that all these years of hard work are not worth it?"
"Nope."
Tang Shiqing shook her head:
"After all, you are so good-looking."
"I've probably been chatting with you to death today."
Jiang Ran was speechless.
"Actually...it's not just because I look good."
Tang Shiqing said softly:
"Although good-looking is the prerequisite...but after that, I also saw many unknown sides of you.
"Looking at the whole world, I am the only one who knows what kind of person you are, and what do you mean to me?"
Jiang Ran was stunned:
"So, what did you see?"
"secret!!"
Tang Shiqing suddenly let go of her heart, with a mysterious smile on her face but her lips pursed tightly, as if she had made up her mind and would never tell Jiang Ran what the secret was.
Jiang Ran was stunned and began to recall what he had done over the years.
But I found that nothing seemed to be special.
As a demon sect witch, Jiang Ran could be sure that Tang Shiqing would never be the kind of person who would have a good impression of him because of her kindness in feeding stray cats and dogs.
Maybe, because she stabbed two innocent passers-by to death while she was free, she felt that she was full of personality charm.
But in fact, in these years, he has neither fed cats or dogs, nor stabbed innocent passersby to death.
So what is it that makes this girl so devoted to herself?
Jiang Ran looked at Tang Shiqing quietly, feeling that in this situation, if he didn't use the wrath of the king of hell, he might not be able to find out the secret.
But being attracted to Tang poetry makes the King of Hell angry...unless Jiang Ran is crazy.
So he sighed:
"That's all, then you are still going to avoid me from now on?"
"No more hiding."
Tang Shiqing looked at Jiang Ran:
"From now on...can I follow you?
"Yiyi has always been by your side, has it caused you any trouble?
"I heard from Uncle Duan that you seem to like her too?"
This question caught Jiang Ran off guard.
Jiang Ran was stunned: "What did you say?"
Why does this old drunkard say everything?
"ah?"
Tang Shiqing looked at Jiang Ran who was quite excited and said:
"After you met, Uncle Duan was very happy when he came back and said that my father was lucky...
"Both of my daughters can marry you.
"And asked me if I was willing."
"...How did you answer?"
"Yes!"
Tang Shiqing said naturally:
"Why don't you want to?"
"...Then why are you willing?"
Jiang Ran felt that he should have a better understanding of Tang Shiqing's psychological changes.
“It’s very convenient.”
Tang Shiqing said:
"Anyway, with Yiyi's temperament, whoever she marries will be in trouble..."
If you say it so bluntly, Tang Huayi will cry!
Jiang Ran complained in his heart... Moreover, if you marry me, will it be me who is unlucky? Is this the real meaning of blaming someone else?
But Tang Shiqing quickly gave an explanation:
"But if I marry you, it will be different. We get married together, and I can take care of her when the time comes.
"Don't let her act recklessly... She is most afraid of me. As long as I glare, she will be like a kitten."
"...Why are you staring?"
Jiang Ran didn't know why he asked.
Tang Shiqing brewed her emotions and wanted to glare at Jiang Ran to make him feel the oppression from the demon sect's number one genius in thousands of years.
However, when their eyes met, Jiang Ran could only see the bright joy in her eyes.
There is no sense of oppression at all.
Tang Shiqing herself laughed helplessly:
"No, no, no, looking at you, I can't brew that kind of emotion at all...
"When I saw you, apart from being panicked at first, now I am only filled with joy.
"How can you stare like that?
"All in all, I think it's a good thing.
"Besides, Yiyi should also like you, otherwise, even with my order, she would have run back long ago.
"In this case, both of us can be with you, and she and I don't have to separate. Isn't this great?"
Jiang Ran originally thought that Tang Shiqing would take Ehuang Nüying as an example.
Know it with emotion, move it with reason.
As a result, this girl... just said it directly, which was very convenient!
Very good...very direct!
And the reason is very simple and straightforward...
Jiang Ran knew that he could not use ordinary thinking to ask the demonic witch.
But is it really okay to go off the beaten path?
"And it's not just that."
Tang Shiqing said:
"There are many other reasons...haven't you discovered that, like me, she doesn't care about anyone or anything, but she only cares about you?"
Jiang Ran was slightly startled:
"I do find this strange. Why is that so?"
"because……"
When Tang Shiqing said this, her expression suddenly changed:
"Wait... Is this the time for the two of us to chat here?"
As soon as she said these words, Jiang Ran also reacted.
The two people immediately flew up at the same time and rushed towards Liuyuan.
While walking, Jiang Ran said:
"Why did you come to arrest the owner of Zuodao Village?"
"I'm not here to catch him... Liuyuan's actions in the past two days have told me that there must be something strange under Liuyuan.
"I saw with my own eyes that the blood disappeared along the cracks in the ground. It was obviously for another purpose.
“And what is watered with the blood of greedy and lustful people must be extraordinary.
"Tonight, the earth dragon turned around. It was very likely that this thing caused an accident. I just thought of a way to go deep into it and find out...
"As a result, we saw that the owner of Zuodaozhuang was being besieged.
"And the injuries on his body...if Qi Tianyue is not here, it can only be caused by the thing that was watered."
"There was nothing like this underground at that time."
Jiang Ran suddenly realized when he heard this:
"I probably understand what you mean. You suspect that the owner of Zuodao Village was injured by this object.
"And this thing was taken away by people from the sky, so you want to catch him and find out what's going on.
"Then I guess, this thing... is probably a treasure, at least it looks like a treasure."
"Why do you say that?"
Tang Shiqing glanced at Jiang Ran strangely.
"Because it was my order that the owner of Zuodaozhuang and Chu Yunniang went there to investigate tonight."
Jiang Ran chuckled.
"So you are Tong Qianjin!!!"
Tang Shiqing suddenly realized, and then snorted:
"You still yelled at me!!"
"...?"
Jiang Ran was stunned. As Tong Qianjin, he had shouted at many people.
Who knows which one is you?
In Liuyuan, it was like a masked dance. No one knew who was who. They were all wearing vests. Only Chu Yunniang came up and announced her identity.
Everyone else is carefully hidden...
After Jiang Ran muttered in his heart, he explained:
"At that time, Chu Yunniang and the owner of Zuodaozhuang were acting separately, which was very strange...
"I guess that the owner of Zuodaozhuang may have discovered this thing one step ahead of time, but sent Chu Yunniang away.
"If it is not a treasure but a danger, we should naturally deal with it together. The owner of Zuodaozhuang is not a good man and a believer, so there is no reason to face danger by himself.
"Since they are separated, it means that the owner of Zuodao Village wants to take this thing as his own without revealing his identity.
“I didn’t expect that this thing looked good, but turned out to be a trap.
"Not only did it cause Earth Dragon to turn over, but it also destroyed a pair of his moves and an arm... Do you think that arm was wasted when he took that thing away?"
After Jiang Ran finished speaking, Tang Shiqing nodded repeatedly and couldn't help but look at Jiang Ran, with little stars in her eyes:
"You are smarter than I know!"
"...Don't keep looking at me like this."
Jiang Ran looked a little embarrassed and was about to say something more when suddenly he paused and glanced at Tang Shiqing.
Tang Shiqing also happened to look at Jiang Ran, and saw Jiang Ran reaching out and wiping his face. After a ripple, he transformed into Mr. Jin's appearance.
Tang poetry brings happiness to the soul, and he also took his own mask from Jiang Ran's waist and put it on.
Immediately afterwards, the figures of the two people swayed at the same time, and suddenly they came to an intersection.
And here, four people are fighting to the death.
The man surrounded in the middle was holding a captive in his hand. While dealing with three opponents with a set of exquisite kicks, he listened carefully and a look of unruliness appeared on his face:
"Are there so many people seeking death tonight?"
This person is none other than the owner of Zuodaozhuang.
