This Jinyiwei is obviously super strong, but he strokes too much. Chapter 485 has different thoughts.
Jianghu emphasizes friendship and justice over life. Every Jianghu guest who flaunts himself as chivalrous will not be greedy for life and fear death in the face of righteousness. Of course, this is limited to those who have never experienced the catastrophe of life and death.
Before the Wuyue Conference, Shi Suxue also felt that life and death were of lesser importance, while integrity was of greater importance. However, when she truly faced the fear of death, she realized that she did not have that much courage.
At the Wuyue Conference, Master saved her but gave up on Senior Sister Pei. This incident has always stuck in her mind. She dreamed about it at midnight and asked herself countless times if she had still had the strength to stand up and exchange one life for another.
Protect me, senior sister.
The answer is no, she is afraid of death. Even if she really had the ability to save the other party, she may not really be able to take action. So now, facing Pei Xia again, she can't say a word about the apologies and guilt that once lingered in her heart.
Not exported.
Pei Xia was also looking at the other party quietly at this moment. She finally realized that her usual open-mindedness was probably all pretending to deceive herself. The waves in her heart at this moment were also endless.
She also thought that one day when she returned to the Hengshan Sect, she would loudly question the leader as to why he didn't save her in the first place. Even though she already knew the answer, she hoped that this would make the leader feel a little guilty.
However, the moment she learned that Shi Jiuning was dead, this thought disappeared. Ji Qianli thought that he had concealed it well, but in fact, Pei Xia had already known everything that happened at Zhujian Villa from the street teahouse.
Death is like a lamp going out, and all resentment disappears. Pei Xia no longer thinks about going back, and gives up her resentment towards Shi Suxue. This is what she told herself.
But when the other party really stood in front of him, those past events came to mind again, and the deep resentment also came with it.
But the difference is that at this time, Pei Xia has been able to face the ugly hatred calmly. She has a clear mind and understands that she just doesn't like this junior sister from the bottom of her heart. But at the same time, she gave up the idea of revenge and made peace with her.
Nothing to do, just spend your life as a stranger.
Pei Xia, who had let go of the past, was finally able to continue facing Shi Suxue. She looked at the two of them and asked, "Why did the two junior sisters come to the capital?"
When Shi Suxue saw that the other party had no intention of pursuing the past, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the guilt in her heart became stronger.
Shuang'er's words brought back sad memories. She couldn't help but throw herself into Pei Xia's arms, sobbing and talking about her recent experiences, including the incident with the Nanshan Immortal, and the subsequent incident where Shan'er lured Jin Yiwei away alone.
, the current situation of no news.
And listening to Junior Sister Shuang'er's words, Pei Xia's face became paler.
Ji Qianli told her before going out that the imperial court was searching for imperial prisoners recently and told her to stay at home to avoid being implicated. She was not at home these days, so he must have been running around for this matter.
However, Pei Xia never expected that the Hengshan Sect would be involved, not to mention that Shan'er went to lure away the Jin Yiwei alone. This was undoubtedly a life-and-death situation.
Over there, after Shuang'er finished telling his story intermittently, he wiped away his tears, looked at Pei Xia and said, "Senior sister, why are you here?"
Pei Xia's face turned pale again, and she reluctantly said: "I, I have a friend in Beijing. After leaving Hengshan, I followed him back to the capital."
"So that's it," Shuang'er didn't notice anything was wrong. She then asked Pei Xia: "Sister, the officers and soldiers are hunting us these days. Sister Shan'er said we can't go back to the west, so we can only hide in Zhili.
,Senior sister, can you let us stay with you for a while?"
"" Pei Xia took a deep breath, his eyes darkened, and he did not answer immediately.
In the past, not to mention living there for a period of time, as long as the junior sister opened her mouth, Pei Xia would accompany her to fight out without hesitation. But it is different now. This place is not a safe haven, but the Jinyiwei General's plan.
Home is truly a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.
If you let Shuang'er and the others stay here, you are throwing yourself into a trap!
On the other hand, if Pei Xia were to secretly hide the two of them, it would be possible to get through due to the darkness under the lamp, but if there was an eventuality, wouldn't it be in vain that Ji Qianli was harmed.
Ji Qianli was kind to her for saving her life, and the two of them had feelings for each other. They were just one piece of writing away from becoming a lifelong couple, and she couldn't let Pei Xia do this at this time.
Therefore, after much thought, it would be best to pretend that we have never met each other.
Pei Xia made up his mind and said to the two of them: "I'm really sorry. My friend is from the capital, and someone in his family is an official in the court. This matter is very involved. I'm afraid it will be harmful to him if he takes in the two junior sisters. I'm sorry.
"
"Senior Sister" Shuang'er looked at Pei Xia blankly, her eyes couldn't help showing a trace of sadness at being betrayed. She was still young and didn't understand so much right and wrong. She just couldn't figure out why Pei Xia was so close to everyone as a sister.
Senior sister, you would say such indifferent words.
But Shi Suxue breathed a sigh of relief. She thought this was reasonable, which meant that the other party still hated her, so she was unwilling to help.
So she came forward and said to Pei Xia: "Junior sister understands the difficulties of Senior Sister Pei. Let's say goodbye. Shuang'er, let's go."
After that, Shi Suxue picked up Shuang'er and was about to leave. Pei Xia sighed softly, took out some silver coins and told them: "There is nothing I can do. You should put these money away. Although the capital has been loose recently,
There are many, but the inspections at the checkpoints outside are still very strict. It is best not to leave Zhili easily, let alone go back to Hengshan."
Shi Suxue solemnly rejected the silver coins handed over by Pei Xia and said, "Thank you, senior sister, for letting me know. I will keep this in mind."
Seeing that the other party refused to accept it, Pei Xia did not force it. The two of them had nothing to say anymore. Pei Xia sent them out and watched the two figures gradually disappear on the street.
Just after the two of them left, Ji Qianli returned home. Pei Xia secretly thought to himself that it was dangerous, and then talked to the other party as if nothing had happened.
Ji Qianli saw several teacups on the table and asked curiously: "Were there guests just now?"
Pei Xia paused and said with a smile: "Oh, it's Aunt Wang from the Beicheng Handkerchief Shop, asking me to do some embroidery work."
Ji Qianli said to her with concern: "If you feel tired, just push it. My salary is enough for the two of us, so you don't have to work so hard on yourself."
Pei Xia felt warm in his heart, shook his head and said: "I have nothing to do when I stay at home, so I just pass the time. Fortunately, I learned something when I was a child. Although I haven't practiced for many years, my skills are a bit rusty, but I can't say it.
Hard."
Ji Qianli looked at her with deeper affection in his eyes. Although the two of them had not yet taken the last step, they were getting along like an ordinary couple. He joined the Royal Guards and licked blood for most of his life. Now he finally had the opportunity to enjoy love and family, and he
It is extremely cherished.
Feeling the undisguised gaze of the other party, Pei Xia's cheeks were slightly red. The two sat opposite each other. Although they were speechless, they were sweet and comfortable.
Different from the lingering affection in the house, Shuang'er went and returned outside the house. When he saw the scene in front of him through the yard, he felt his heart become cold. How could the senior sister be with that evil man from Jinyiwei?!
