Chapter 123: Self-inflicted
When Hai Yao said this, all that came to his mind was Ji Wan'er's anxious look of worrying about Nankong when he was in the snow mountain before, Miss Ji has always been gentle and understanding, Hai Yao thought to himself, at this moment, if she was by the city lord's side, the city lord should feel better.
Before the words fell, Nankong was stunned.
Go see Wan'er...... Is it?
He couldn't help but hesitate in his heart, thinking of this name, he couldn't help but think of Wan'er's simple and kind face in his mind, and her cute and gentle memory was like a warm sun, which shone into his heart at once, making him a trace of light appear in the extremely dark world, and I have to admit that he missed her.
"City Lord?" Seeing that Nankong didn't react, Hai Yao called him tentatively again.
Nan Kongqian kept listening, he was also hesitating in his heart, reason told him that he couldn't see her, but he couldn't suppress the deep longing for her in his heart, so he was stalemate and entangled in his heart for a long time, and in the end, he still nodded and said to Hai Yao: "Wan'er now lives in the Qilin Gate, you go to the Qilin Gate to find her, just say that I am unwell and want to see her." ”
"Yes, Hai Yao understands. After he left, Nan Kongqian breathed a sigh of relief, he got up slowly, thinking about leaving the room to go to the yard to breathe, but after walking two steps, he heard Hai Yao's footsteps outside the door, he was shocked, and was about to ask what was going on, but Hai Yao's voice suddenly came into his ears-
"City Lord, Miss Ji...... Here it ......."
"So fast?" Nan Kong Qian's heart 'groaned', obviously very surprised, but before the words fell, Ji Wan'er's figure slowly appeared from behind Hai Yao, she stood at the door of the room, looking at Nan Kong Qian standing in the room with a cane motionless, her eyes seemed to have lost color, dull, she couldn't help but be stunned in place, looking at him blankly.
"Wan'er?" Nan Kongqian felt that there was a gaze watching him, no need to think about it, he knew that it was Ji Wan'er, he called her name softly, Ji Guan'er's eyes moved, and then he also responded, "Nan Kongqian." ”
"How do you ...... Are you coming?" Nankong Qian tried to pretend to be a normal person, not wanting her to see the flaws so quickly, but Ji Wan'er still saw through him at a glance, and slowly raised his hand to his eyes, "Your eyes...... What's wrong?"
When the words fell, Nankong Qian's heart sank, and the whole person was immediately stunned in place, not knowing how to explain to her, and Hai Yao on the side immediately explained to Ji Wan'er when he saw the situation: "The city lord accidentally injured his eyes in the demon world and lost his sight. ”
"What?!" Ji Wan'er was shocked when he heard this, his eyes were full of surprise and consternation!
"Miss Ji, the city lord is just wanting to see you, then, Hai Yao will retire first. Hai Yao glanced at the two of them, then closed the door and turned to leave, leaving only Ji Wan'er and Nan Kongqian standing in place, motionless.
"I originally thought you were still in the Demon Realm, but I ran into Hai Yao when I was in the Snow Mountain just now, and I thought about going back to Zaikong City to transfer some dark guards to find your whereabouts, but ...... I didn't expect you to be back......" In the silent atmosphere, Ji Wan'er took the lead in breaking the silence, and Nankong Qian's throat moved when he heard the words, and he didn't know how to say what he wanted to say at the moment, so he could only stand in place stupidly.
"Your eyes...... Is it the cold smoke and dust?" Seeing him standing in place without saying a word, Ji Wan'er slowly walked in front of him, although he knew from Hai Yao's mouth just now that he was blind, but when he really walked in front of him and saw his eyes that were deep in darkness, Ji Wan'er's heart couldn't help but tremble, his nose was sore, and his eyes became moist unconsciously......
"It has nothing to do with him, it's my own doing. Nankong opened his mouth to explain, but Ji Wan'er had no intention of listening to what he said, raised his hand and slowly touched his eyes, with distress and pity, his tone was warm as the sun, "Does it hurt?"
When the words fell, a crystal sparkle slid down his cheeks, and Nan Kongqian noticed the temperature of the hand on his eyes, and the uneasiness in his heart suddenly calmed down a lot, he gently reached out and held that hand, and heard the gentle sobbing, Nankong Qian easily hugged Wan'er in his arms and hugged him tightly.
"Don't cry, I'm fine, I just can't see it, and I'm not going to die. Nankong Qian hugged her tightly and comforted her softly in her ear, his tone seemed to have a hint of joke, Ji Wan'er just smiled angrily when he heard it, and pushed him coquettishly in his arms, "It's all like this, you can still joke!"
And Nankong smiled lightly, didn't reply, just hugged her tighter, for some reason, holding Wan'er, he seemed to be full of people, this world is no longer he alone, he already has company by his side, Fang Cai's troubles and sorrows are all left behind by him at this moment, the temperature in his arms seems to have swept his whole heart, even if his eyes are dark, but he can still feel an inexplicable peace of mind and trust.
Perhaps, this is love.
Nankong Qian thought to himself, that peace of mind and calm was indescribable, he now seemed to gradually begin to understand, why Han Yanchen would miss Bai Ningxi so much, presumably Bai Ningxi was like Wan Er, who gave him such peace of mind and peace when he was helpless and confused! If Guan Er became like this, then he would definitely save her at all costs!
......
The night was dark, in the city lord's mansion, Nan Kongqian and Ji Wan'er sat on the stone steps outside the room and looked up to admire the moon, but unfortunately, due to the fire falling from the sky, the moon and stars in the night sky were covered by the light of the divine fire, Ji Guan'er held his chin with his hands and looked at the sky blankly, except for the firelight, he couldn't see anything.
"You say, when will this heavenly fire end?" Ji Wan'er couldn't help but ask.
Nankong paused when he heard this, and said, "It should be soon." ”
"I really hope to end all this quickly, don't you know, what is the Northern Barbarian being swallowed by the Divine Fire now? Almost all the disciples of the Qilin Sect have gone down the mountain to protect the Northern Barbarian people, and the heads and elders are also trying their best to prevent the Divine Fire from continuing to spread, although the people in the empty city are guarded by the Dark Guard, but their ability is also limited, and the southern sky is shallow, do you know? Those people are really pitiful, they obviously didn't do anything, but they have to bear such a big disaster, why do the sins committed by others always fall on their heads in the end? ”
Ji Wan'er looked at the divine fire that crossed the night sky like a meteor and then fell to the ground with a bang, and began to talk to Nan Kongqian, but Nan Kongqian always sat in place, like a log, motionless, no matter what Ji Wan'er said, he didn't seem to hear it, indifferent.
Later, Ji Wan'er also discovered his abnormality and turned his head to look at him, "What's wrong with you?"
Nankong paused shallowly, looking like he wanted to say something, and Ji Wan'er knew that he had something to say, so he hurriedly asked him, "What's wrong? What do you want to say? Is something happening?"
Nan Kong shook his head, "No, it's just that I heard you say those words, and suddenly I thought of something." ”
"What's the matter?"
When the words fell, Nankong was shallow and stagnant, he thought about it carefully, and then asked Ji Wan'er, "Shu Xie Zhenren, how is he?"
"He was injured when he fought with Han Yanchen before, and he is still recuperating in Hanyan Peak at the moment, no one is going to disturb him, and he doesn't seem to have gone down the mountain to care about the invasion of the fire. Ji Wan'er thought about it and told the truth what he saw.
"Is it?" Nankong Qianqian couldn't help but slowly lowered his eyes, the fire invaded, the people were robbed, and the five major mountain ranges of the Northern Barbarians were all burned by divine fire.
Or did Shu Xie Zhenren anticipate all this a long time ago, so he planned to go with the flow?
Nankong couldn't help but sink his gaze, and then he asked Ji Wan'er: "By the way, Guan'er, is there a way for you to let me avoid the disciples of the Qilin Sect and take me to Hanyan Peak to see Shu Xie Zhenren?"
"What's wrong?"
"It's just that I don't understand some things, and I want to ask for advice. ”
"In that case, then you can just go up the mountain, why avoid the disciples of the Qilin Sect, are you worried that they will see you blind?"
"Not really. Nankong lowered his eyes and smiled, "Although my mana is still there, but I am a blind person after all, I can't see anything, and it is still difficult to go to Hanyan Peak, the reason why I want to avoid the disciples of the Qilin Sect is that I don't want them to know about my blindness, and secondly, I am also afraid, they will link this matter with the Demon Realm, and then they will ......."
"Are you afraid that they will push all this onto Han Yanchen?" Before Nankong finished speaking, Ji Wan'er already understood what he meant, Nankong was shallow for a moment, smiled slightly, and nodded.
"Actually, your worries are right. Ji Wan'er looked thoughtful, looked at Nankong and said:
"Since the war between humans and demons, a lot of things have really happened during this time, although most of them are done by people in the demon world, and it is understandable to blame them for everything, but later, it seems that everyone is used to it, and gradually no matter what is shirked to the demon world, I thought it was nothing at first, but when I thought that Han Yanchen was your friend, this feeling was very uncomfortable, and the disciples of the Qilin Gate were the same, and they said how the demon world was at every turn, and sometimes even you were implicated, saying that you and Han Yanchen sympathized with each other, I was really angry at the time, but they did their best to protect the people, protect the Northern Barbarians, I can't say anything......"
Ji Wan'er looked upset and irritable, and Nan Kongqian sat beside her and listened to her complaining quietly, it sounded like his Wan'er was a little cute, what she said, in fact, he didn't care, what is the relationship between him and Han Yanchen now, in fact, he can't say clearly, after all, there is a difference between people and demons, even if they are friends, it is also separated by a boundary.
