Chapter 520: I'm Sorry, Let's Leave
Hong Ningxiang still has injuries on her feet, she knows that if she looks back at the Immortal Pavilion like this, Wu Xing and Zhu Chenfeng will definitely ask why they are injured, and they will inevitably need to explain at that time, she really doesn't want to mention the encounter with Yang Gongzi in the past two days, if they know that she was actually drunk in the flower field, and was carried by a strange man, where did she put her old face? So the best way is that she simply hides in the bamboo building for three days, and then goes back when her injuries are healed, anyway, Shi Dingfeng has not come back yet, she just sends a message to Wu Xing every day to report her safety.
"What, you want to live with me?"
"Stay for a day and give you a fairy fruit, that's it. Hong Ningxiang knew that Xiaoyaozi was the grandson of the stable woman who delivered him back then, and he had long regarded him as an old friend, since he was here with an old friend, of course he didn't have to be polite. As if she had returned to her own home, she sat down uninvited, picked up the flask on the table and began to drink again.
"You are a woman's family, living with me as a big man, what kind of physiognomy have become, and you are not afraid of being gossiped about?Also, you are so relieved of me, are you not afraid that I will bully you?" Xiaoyaozi grabbed a white spirit fruit and looked at her while gnawing on it. Although he looks like a white-haired old monster, he is also a male cultivator in the late stage of Yudan, right? When he was young, he was also a handsome guy.
Hong Ningxiang shook his hand, "Don't look down on me too much, I'm like this, it's good not to scare people, an old woman has something to gossip about." Also, if you dare to bully me, it's a big deal that I won't give you the fairy fruit!"
Xiaoyaozi gave her a blank look, "Come on, I'm not interested in the old woman!"
"In that case, let me stay for three days. Hong Ningxiang looked at him with blank eyes, "I was bitten by a snake and can't leave, if you don't take me in, I won't have anywhere to go." ”
Xiaoyaozi touched her chin and squinted at her, "What about that man, why didn't you follow him?"
"Why should I go with him?" Hong Ningxiang asked strangely, suddenly realizing something, her cheeks turned red unconsciously, "You-you saw it?"
"What do you say, you two are pulling and pulling at my door, and if I can't see, I'm blind. Xiaoyaozi took a bite of the fruit, "You shouldn't forget, right? Yesterday, you were drunk in the flower field, and it was the kid surnamed Yang who sent you here." ”
"It's him?!" Hong Ningxiang was startled.
"Why, he didn't tell you?"
Hong Ningxiang fell into deep thought.
Xiaoyaozi threw away the core and clapped his hands, "Forget it, I'm old, I don't understand you young people, what the love of children looks like, I won't get involved." ”
He pushed the fruit bowl in front of him in front of her, "You can eat some too, don't just drink, young people, don't abuse yourself so badly." After taking a few steps, he turned back and warned, "You can live with me, but you must not set foot in my flower field again, you will pay for ruining my flowers!"
Hong Ningxiang lay in the guest room of the bamboo building this night, looking at the night outside the window, and his heart fluctuated.
Yesterday, when she was drunk in the flower field, it was Yang Gongzi who sent her back to the bamboo building to rest, but when she met again today, why didn't he mention it?
Is he really a chivalrous and good man? Or does he have some other purpose?
But she didn't know him well, it was just a meeting in Pingshui, and she asked herself that there was nothing worth hoping for except for her empty cultivation.
remembered that dream that was both real and illusory, if Yang Gongzi had also been in the flower field yesterday, if Liu Qingming had really come to the flower field, then the two of them should have met each other, right?
Yang Gongzi said that he had never seen him.
That hug, that kiss...... Is it really just a dream?
Hong Ningxiang applied the medicine according to the method that Yang Gongzi said, and three days later, the wound on her foot really healed, and early in the morning, she put the prepared box of fairy fruits and a bottle of Yuqing Dan on the table, and left the bamboo building directly without saying goodbye to Xiaoyaozi.
Out of the yard and on the path, not long after, Hong Ningxiang saw a tall figure standing at the edge of the flower field in the distance.
The man's back was as if he had been standing for a long time, and the wind gently lifted his purple and gold robe, and his waist-length black hair fluttered in the wind.
It's obviously the person he knows very well, but he hasn't seen him for a few days, but it seems like a world away.
Seeing Shi Dingfeng at first glance, Hong Ningxiang suddenly remembered the past in his previous life.
He had also stood in this same place, he wanted to take away her who had fallen from Liu Qingming, he wanted to take care of her, but she scolded him for being a negative man, she told him to get out, no matter how he begged, she refused to turn back.
In fact, at that time, he had already repented, it was her own temperament that had changed drastically, it was she who became cruel and suspicious, and she herself was dull and stupid, and she couldn't see the remorse and pain in his heart.
Her heart seemed to be caught, and her steps were a little hesitant, and she was undecided, not knowing whether to lean over or not.
Obviously, he should have called him "Ninth Master" affectionately like before.
But at this moment, she is so embarrassed, and she no longer has the same coquettish and willful face as before.
She thought of her depression and drunkenness these days, and thought of that dream, how could she deceive herself as if nothing had happened?
"Come here. ”
Finally, Hong Ningxiang heard Shi Dingfeng speak, in the same domineering tone as before.
She examined her shirt and hair to make sure there was nothing wrong with her before she walked slowly over to him.
Shi Dingfeng glanced back at her and looked at her with deep eyes, "Drinking?"
When Hong Ningxiang heard him ask, he felt that there was nothing to hide.
She bent down and picked a Lingxiao flower, sniffed it, lowered her head, and said softly, "Wu Xing said that you are very busy, I think you haven't been back for the past few days, I am idle, so I came here to relax." ”
"Distracted?"
She said it so lightly.
Shi Dingfeng snorted, "It's indeed a good place to relax." Here, reminiscing about you and his past, isn't it?"
Hong Ningxiang saw him suddenly turn to stare at her, and seeing the anger surging in his eyes, she knew that she had provoked him again.
But obviously he arranged for Wu Xing to bring her here and return to this place where she fell in her previous life, it was he who wanted to tell her that he had begged her for forgiveness here, he had never failed her, he had been waiting for her to turn back, it was she who had cruelly hurt him, since he wanted to tell her all this, it was not normal for her to recall the past in this unforgettable place? She is not a cold-blooded animal, when she sees Wangxian Pavilion, Lingxiao Valley, and this bamboo building, of course she will think of the time when she and Liu Qingming lived in seclusion here after falling into demons, that is not human nature, what is there to be angry about?!
Suddenly, she seemed to be aroused by the fierce self, and blurted out: "What about you? Haven't you done anything to be sorry for me? What has happened between you and Meiqiu? You dare to say that you are innocent with her?"
Shi Dingfeng stared at it for a long time, as if she was a little surprised that she dared to talk back.
After getting married, she has always been well-behaved and obedient, and rarely disobeys him, even if she breaks off the connection with that bastard, he keeps his eyes closed, and by her temperament, he has always thought that there will be no more quarrels between them. He wanted her to put aside the love and hate of her previous life, let her accept him again, trust him again, and try to be with him again. He thought that they were already husband and wife, and they could love each other like other Taoist couples, but he didn't know when the love she once regarded as his life became so broken, and there was already such a deep gap and crack between them.
The most annoying thing is that she actually held Mei Qiu's affairs in her heart for so long!
When he was in Yixian Village, he waited for her to ask, but she didn't say a word, until today, until he exposed her heart, she was willing to open her heart and ridicule her.
He knew that there must be a reason why she left Yixian Village without saying goodbye. It must have been Mei Qiu who said something. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Xiang'er to leave without leaving him a word.
This woman is so willful, she is too cruel to him, she doesn't know what kind of mood he was in when she broke into Rainbow City, when she was rushing to stop the marriage of Liu Qingming's father and son!
At that time, while he was busy dealing with An Yutang and rescuing Zhu Chenfeng from the immortal mansion that was trapped, he also had to send Fang Shaoyun to keep an eye on her and protect her, he was almost exhausted.
In fact, he could have let go of Zhu Chenfeng's matter, directly entered Rainbow City, and took her away directly, but he wanted to see what she could do for the sake of Liu Qingming's father and son.
Unexpectedly, she once again unknowingly fell into the palm of the demon king of the mixed world.
That bastard deliberately made her anxious, made her angry, and then let her know that the reason why he married Xu Youfang was to avenge her, what a clever means!
It turned out that the bastard also found out, in her previous life, it was Xu Youfang who arranged for her henchmen to drug him and Xiang'er in that cave!
That bastard invaded Nanxu Capital after marriage, and after taking revenge on Xu Youfang, he even tried to resurrect in vain, and wanted to snatch her again!
He rushed all the way to the Spring Palace, originally he had a lot to say to her, but when he entered the ice room, saw her white hair, and saw her holding Liu Qingming's body, he suddenly found that it was meaningless for him to say everything and do everything again.
Shi Dingfeng forced himself to retract his chaotic thoughts and took a deep breath, "What did Mei Qiu tell you?"
Hong Ningxiang was silent. She couldn't say those embarrassing things, let alone what he had done himself, and was he embarrassed to let her say them? She didn't want to say those mean and ruthless things again, which would only tear open each other's scars, and her heart was already full of holes, and she couldn't withstand any blow anymore.
"I'm asking you!" Shi Dingfeng took a step closer.
"You go and ask her yourself!" Hong Ningxiang said this, turned around and walked outside the flower field.
She knew that she had always been a coward in terms of feelings, she was no longer as brave as in her previous life, and she didn't know how to face him at all except to escape.
Shi Dingfeng took a step forward, grabbed her wrist, and made her look into his eyes, "Mei Qiu and I are not what you think. ”
"Isn't she your concubine?" Hong Ningxiang blurted out. She suddenly realized that she still cared about whether he was loyal or not, she couldn't ignore Mei Qiu's existence, and she felt that she was a little ridiculous, she herself had already lost him, what face did she have to ask him to be loyal to her?
"She's just a nominal concubine. Shi Dingfeng looked at her pale face, her eyes were as deep as the sea, "After you died in Lingxiao Valley back then, some of my subordinates and friends saw that I was getting depressed and wanted to help me get out of the predicament. I stayed in her room for a month, deliberately making people think that I had forgotten about you, so that they would not send inexplicable women to bother me again. But nothing happened to me and Mei Qiu, and I was innocent with her. Later, I didn't want Mei Qiu to be criticized, so I gave her the title of a concubine. There was nothing between me and her other than that. ”
Hong Ningxiang listened blankly. She felt even more ridiculous.
Shi Dingfeng pinched her chin, "What about you? Should you also give me an explanation? Why are you getting drunk here? Why are you so depressed? Can't you forget him?"
"Yes, I can't forget him. She seemed to be awakened all of a sudden, grabbed the white hair in front of her, and tears slowly welled up in her eyes, "Look at these white hairs! How ridiculous! I would become such a ghost! Ninth Master, I didn't mean to, I also wanted to forget him, but I can't forget, Ninth Master, I can't forget." ”
Shi Dingfeng hugged her trembling body tightly, wanting to open her heart to see what color it was.
How could she be so cruel, so ruthless.
After he confessed to Mei Qiu's affairs without shame, she was so indifferent, she actually said such things to break his heart.
He thought that there was still a distance ahead, he still had to take her to find the Holy Spring, and he had to help her save the evil obstacle, this journey, she was like this, how could he continue to walk with her as husband and wife?
"Xiang'er, have you ever loved him?" When she calmed down a little, Shi Dingfeng asked in a dumb voice.
"I'm not worthy, Ninth Master, I'm not worthy, I'm no longer worthy to say that word. If I could, I only hoped, I never provoked him. Hong Ningxiang couldn't cry.
"When did you fall in love with him?" Shi Dingfeng stroked her cheek, "It's okay, tell me, when did you love him?"
"Don't ask, please, don't ask. Hong Ning shrank into his bosom like an ostrich.
"Xiang'er, is it true that no matter what I do again, we will never be able to return to the original state?" Shi Dingfeng closed his eyes and put his chin in her long silver hair.
"I can't go back, Ninth Master. The man died, he died. ”
She can't be so cruel anymore, knowing that she loved that person in her heart, but she still has to pretend that she didn't love it.
obviously couldn't let go of Liu Qingming, but he still had to force himself and Shi Dingfeng to continue to be together.
She can no longer selfishly covet his love and let herself hurt him wantonly, he is so perfect, so good, but she is so unbearable.
Shi Dingfeng lowered his head and kissed the tears in the corners of her eyes, "Is it impossible to erase him from your heart?"
"I'm sorry, Ninth Master. She buried her head lower.
Her voice was soft and small, as if she was afraid that he would hear it, but she had to let him hear it, but this small voice was like five thunderbolts, which shook his body.
She actually apologized to him, for Liu Qingming, she apologized to him?!
"That being the case, let me go. Shi Dingfeng let go of her.
"......" Hong Ningxiang looked at him in surprise.
"I don't force you. Shi Dingfeng turned his gaze away and looked at the sea of flowers in the distance, "Tomorrow we will set off to the holy land of Meihai to help Liuli find the holy spring." After finding the Holy Spring, you and I will officially reconcile, and until then, I will not touch you again. I'll set you free. ”
Looking at the back that was as tall as a mountain peak, Hong Ningxiang followed behind him, his feet were as heavy as lead, and his body suddenly shivered with cold.
What did he just say?
And away?
He even wants to reconcile with her?
This time he didn't want her at all and abandoned her?
And she didn't refuse him!
Shouldn't she rush up, take his hand and say, "I don't agree, I'm not going to let you go?"
But why, seeing that back, she lost her courage......
It's not so much that he sets her free, it's that she can't take over his love anymore.
In the face of his loyalty, her guilt is a shame, this time she is completely unworthy of him, she is not worthy of his love, even so, what face does she have to continue to be husband and wife with him?
In an instant, Hong Ningxiang seemed to have returned to his previous life, he was the sea of stars in the sky, she was the firefly on the ground, and she would always be so humble and small in front of him.
How much she liked him in her previous life, worshipping him as a bright moon, and not hesitating to lose herself for him to go up the knife mountain and down the oil pot, even if she hated him so much in this life and took revenge on him, he still tolerated her and put down his son to recover her, but she kept avoiding him.
In the future, she will no longer have to escape, because he is still a sea of stars in the sky, and she is still a firefly on the earth, and nothing has changed.
