Chapter three hundred and eighty second sense of crisis
There was a bright moon in the sky outside the window, and the silver-frosted stone slabs clearly reflected the shadow of the courtyard and a tall figure.
He stood in a dimly lit corner and looked at a certain place for a long time. The door there was naturally open, and the light shining out was tinged with a reassuring warm color.
It gives people the illusion that there is finally a light in this world that lights up specifically for him.
She once asked him what he liked about her.
In fact, it is not that there is no answer at all. There are always traces of love. It may be an countless number of secret glances, or it may be just an occasional glance.
Some feelings are like spring breeze and drizzle, moistening things silently.
In the room, Tong Yan rubbed his sore neck, and moved his eyes away from the book in his hand, looking out the door, and inadvertently met a line of sight.
She was stunned, not understanding why the man was standing outside when he arrived. She rubbed her neck twice and got up and went to the door. She said to the person who had been standing there for an unknown length of time: "What are you doing standing at the door?"
Gu Yuqi slowly walked up to her, his eyes resting on her face, "I see you are too focused, I don't want to disturb you."
Tong Yan was speechless and turned around to walk back.
Is it her fault then?
Gu Yuqi followed her in and asked her every day, "How do you feel today?"
"No problem." Tong Yan sat back down and lowered his head to sort out the drafts spread out on the table.
Gu Yuqi asked this question because the demonic energy in Tong Yan's body suddenly went out of control a few days ago, causing her to almost go on a rampage and go on a killing spree.
Its characteristics are very similar to the way he was possessed by the devil at the beginning. After forcibly suppressing her, he used golden lotus seeds to suppress the devil's energy, and she regained consciousness.
There were signs of demonic energy spreading in her meridians before, but it wasn't until the outbreak that she realized that this was all the reason for her previous strangeness.
Using the demonic energy in the fragments of the Excalibur can indeed temporarily improve her combat effectiveness, but the price paid is that the demonic energy will erode her little by little.
Gu Yuqi mistakenly believed that the demonic energy was caused by her faulty practice of Kung Fu. Tong Yan also accepted his guess at that time and did not confess that the demonic energy was caused by the fragments of the divine sword.
The evil spirit cannot be eradicated at once, it is only temporarily suppressed by golden lotus seeds, so Gu Yuqi would ask this question every day.
Knowing that there was nothing wrong with her health, Gu Yuqi felt relieved. He stood beside her and glanced at the books on the table, "You are drawing new talismans."
Tong Yan poured a glass of water for him and refilled his own empty glass, "Learn more and more, and you'll always be able to use them."
She does not have a fixed source of spiritual stones now compared to before, and there is basically no shortage of cultivation resources. She never needs to worry about it by herself. Now that she has left the sect, she naturally has to start planning carefully for everything.
If you can make some basic talisman arrays yourself, you will save a lot of spiritual stones.
Gu Yuqi understood the meaning behind her words and told her directly that he would give her whatever she wanted. She would definitely refuse, so he said, "I will find a set of useful tools for you tomorrow."
Instead of holding things in front of her for free and adding a burden to her heart, you should help her in the right place and help her neither lightly nor heavily.
Tong Yan couldn't help but raise her eyes and glance at him. In the past, he loved to force his things onto her, but this time he carefully used a tactful method, which not only took care of her thoughts, but also made her unable to refuse.
"Okay, thanks."
Gu Yuqi didn't sit there for long, and he sensed that the host was trying to drive people away, so he wisely left first.
Early on the next morning, Tong Yan received the talisman paper, cinnabar, and other tools sent by Gu Yuqi's order. After having everything on hand, she locked herself in her room for several days and worked tirelessly on drawing talismans and carving formation disks.
.
Only when the daily care period comes, will I rest for a while.
At dusk, the orange light of the setting sun rendered the horizon colorful. Tong Yan stood at the window and stretched, then tilted his body and looked at the short scenery with a relaxed expression.
The slender body leaned quietly against the window frame, occupying the dividing line between light and darkness. The shrouded sunset seemed to be melting and sucking people away, but the darkness in the room was stubbornly absorbing it.
The strong contrast between light and dark gives this picture a clear sense of depth.
Gu Yuqi rested his elbows on the table and stared at Tong Yan's profile in fascination. The diffuse afterglow outside the door came in, and the cold and hard facial contours became softer unconsciously.
"Xiaoyan." She was lost in thought for too long, and he couldn't help but call her.
"Huh?" The person by the window turned to look.
"I will talk to you when I come here. My current status is quite special. It is inevitable that there will be some gossip when I come back this time. If you hear it, don't take it seriously."
"Oh." After a moment, she responded lazily with a single syllable, then turned her head without any reaction.
Seeing her reaction like this, Gu Yuqi's eyes dimmed and a wry smile escaped from his lips. How could he think that she would care about him having another woman?
At this moment, he felt that it was a shame for him to sit here.
As he prepared to stand up and leave with a heart filled with sadness, the girl's voice suddenly sounded in the room that had been quiet for a while.
"What kind of gossip?" After a while, she suddenly turned around and looked at him with curiosity on her face and asked.
Gu Yuqi was slightly startled by her sudden question. Didn't he not care about his own affairs? She was just asking this to satisfy her curiosity.
Meeting her questioning eyes, it was strange that some unrealistic expectations and apprehensions arose in my heart, and I also felt a subtle hesitation about what I was about to say.
He avoided her gaze without any trace, deliberately kept his voice calm, and said slowly: "It's just that I hide my beauty in the golden house. Don't pay attention to the boring words of boring people."
A figure walked through the darkness, came over and sat down next to him. He folded his arms and propped himself up on the table. He looked at the person who was gradually sitting upright because of his coming over. He said very seriously, "They were right."
Gu Yuqi raised his eyes sharply and glanced at her. Before he could understand the emotion in his heart, he heard her continue in a casual tone, "Aren't the two girls I met before just the ones you hide?"
The high emotions in my heart suddenly hit the bottom.
Unable to express the specific feelings in his heart at this moment, he subconsciously opened his mouth to explain, but after uttering two more words, he fell silent.
"they……"
She rushed to explain something, but she didn't care. What else could she do besides humiliating herself?
Tong Yan unconsciously clasped his arms with his fingers, waiting intently for what he would say next. After not hearing what he said for a long time, he couldn't help but urged him, "Why don't you say anything anymore? It's very unappetizing to say half of it."
At this time, Gu Yuqi suddenly stood up, his expression cold for no reason, and his unwillingness to say anything was clear at a glance, "Suddenly I remembered that there are still some things that have not been dealt with. It's time for me to leave."
After saying that, he strode away without hesitation. Tong Yan called him from behind and didn't stop him from leaving.
Looking at the deserted courtyard, Tong Yan's chest was so tight that he couldn't breathe, and he almost died of anger.
Sure enough, men will only be honest when they are hanging on the wall, hugging each other, eating from the bowl and looking into the pot.
If you talk about getting married to her in such a haphazard manner, go to hell!
…
"Leaved half an hour earlier than the previous few days..." A woman in bright red clothes was sitting on the resting stone in the courtyard. She was listening to the news that the maid had just learned with her eyebrows solemn.
"Have you ever found out why I left early?" Xu Ning continued to ask the maid. The maid shook her head and said she didn't know, and then she began to think about it in a low voice.
"When Fan Yunsi came here in the past, I would go to see her every now and then, never staying late, and now I have the same attitude towards this woman. It seems that she is no different from us."
Is it really different? Xu Ning is not completely sure. He goes to Xiqingyuan much more often and stays longer than before. The most important thing is Xiqingyuan, which is the yard closest to his residence.
Fan Yunsi, whom she once thought would pose a huge threat to her, just arranged a place not far or near.
Out of a woman's intuition, Xu Ning had a strong hunch that this woman would be her biggest obstacle on the road to becoming Mrs. Lu.
In another courtyard not far away, the same conversation was taking place.
Fan Yunsi sat in front of the dressing table and carefully selected pearl flowers. In a gentle voice, he asked the maid beside him, "Do you think he treats us the same?"
The maid naturally answered yes, but this was not the answer that Fan Yunsi already had in mind. In the past, there were only two women in Lu Mansion, she and Xu Ning. Their food and clothing expenses were obviously the same, but they liked to compare secretly, comparing the number of times he went to whose house.
If you show off more, what he gave you is more valuable.
They are addicted to the confrontation between you and me, which will give them the illusion that they are loved and valued by him.
I just want to prove that I have a place in that person's heart.
However, looking at the lonely courtyard gate, they knew very well that they and the other party were just props for him to deceive others and stage a show.
Unless necessary, he never set foot in their yard, and even if he came, he would rarely communicate with them. He would sit alone in the house for a while, and then quickly leave at night.
