Chapter 222: Matters of the Heart
Xi Yan knew that she was making trouble unreasonably. But looking at Qi Chen's smug face, she couldn't help but want to be angry.
And so, she did. said it so justifiably and domineeringly, but she knew in her heart that she was insincere.
Unable to face Qi Chen, she could only excuse herself from being angry and fleeing. At this time, she just wanted to find a place to calm down and think about something carefully.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Xi Yan looked into the distance. Sure enough, the breath in my heart was spit out.
When Feng Xin swore that bet, Xi Yan was a little surprised in her heart, she seemed to have peeked into something from Feng's words and deeds. But I couldn't be sure, so I agreed to the bet.
When he saw Qi Chen, he was really as the wind said, even if he was very angry, when he saw her, his anger spontaneously subsided. He was tolerant of her, and at that moment she was clearly aware.
Before, although the demon treated her well, she always thought that he was just treating her better. But from the words and deeds of several of his subordinates, she got a glimpse of the truth. After the gambling contract, it was only more certain.
She never knew that under Qi Chen's evil smile, there was a different kind of emotion hidden. However, when she got a glimpse of his true affection, she panicked.
has never been exposed to such emotions, Xi Yan doesn't know how to face it at all, so she can only pretend that she doesn't know anything. She can't ask the demon directly, let alone ask others, so she can only ponder it alone.
There was a wind blowing from afar, and Xi Yan's hair was flying, and her clothes were fluttering, but she couldn't notice these at this time. Her whole mind was on Qi Chen. The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became, and she couldn't help worrying about how she would face it if Qi Chen found out. Refuse directly, I feel a little reluctant in my heart. But if you are happy to agree, you are at a loss.
So contradictory, tangled, Xi Yan feels. It's better to have a head-on fight like this. Sure enough, what Sister Yan Fei once said was right, love is always difficult to control. I didn't understand it then, but I don't understand it today. I seem to have some understanding.
She and Qi Chen are now trapped in such a love network, struggling with themselves and unable to see through.
I sighed faintly, it's really complicated. It simply can't be sorted out. Not to mention thinking rationally about what the outcome will be.
The human race and the demon race, if it is just a relationship between friends, Xi Yan thinks that it will not affect the affection between him and Qi Chen. But if it is a change of love between men and women, it is a big obstacle.
"Why sigh?" A warm voice exploded in my ears.
Xi Yan immediately turned her head to see when he appeared and how long he had been watching from the side.
"You, why are you here?" Xi asked cautiously. This is Qi Chen's territory, he just broke in, and Qi Chen didn't notice it at all.
"If you want to come, you'll come." Xifeng disagreed. looked at her tangled look just now. It seems that there is a problem. "Xi'er, what were you thinking just now?"
Xi Yan shook her head, "It's nothing." ”
"Oh, Xi'er doesn't trust me?" Creek Breeze raised an eyebrow. I haven't seen her for a long time, and there have been obvious changes in Xi'er. He didn't know if such a change was good or bad.
Xi Yan shook her head and said nothing. It's not about trusting or not, it's about what she's struggling with, and she can't say it to anyone. She couldn't even clear her mind herself, how could she say it to others.
Xifeng didn't get to the bottom of it, and instead asked, "These days, is Xi'er doing well?" "She's here to come to the demon clan with her heart in mind. Now that you have come, has your heart's wish been fulfilled?
Xi Yan suddenly asked: "Didn't you say that you can't come here, why did you suddenly appear, aren't you afraid of being discovered by the big demon?" "She remembers it well. At the beginning, Xifeng said that he said so, once he appeared in the demon clan, he would soon be discovered. So how can we explain his behavior today?
Xifeng smiled lightly: "Xi'er, you still remember it so clearly, it can be seen that you still care about me." Are you worried that I'll be caught by the demon clan? ”
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm telling the truth." Xi Yan said urgently.
"Oh. For Xi'er's sake, I'll sue you for the sake of caring so much about me. The demon clan is different now, how can they still pay attention to me. ”
"What do you mean?" Xi Yan was puzzled, she had always been in the demon clan, could it be related to Qi Chen.
"There has been a big incident in the demon clan recently, everyone is concerned about such a big thing, who still cares about me, an insignificant person."
"What's the big deal?" This person is really, since he said it but didn't say the point, just wait for her to ask.
"The Demon Venerable is here."
Xi Yan was puzzled and looked at Xifeng in confusion.
Xi Feng patiently explained, "The Demon Venerable fell in the Great War of the Age of Gods and Demons, and since then the Demon Clan has no leader. Tens of thousands of years have passed, but the demon venerable suddenly appeared, how can he not let the demon clan be in chaos. In the era of gods and demons, the demon lord was the ruler of the demon clan. However, this time is different from the past, tens of thousands of years have passed since the era of the Demon Venerable, and the members of the Demon Clan, who have already dominated the Demon Clan, have subtle thoughts about the present life of the Demon Venerable. ”
"Oh, you mean, even if the Demon Venerable is in the world, you can't make all the Demon Clan obey, there are always Demon Clan people who don't welcome the Demon Venerable back." Xi Yan said softly, combined with what she knew, it was really Qi Chen.
"It's natural, nothing stays the same. Although the demon clan pays attention to bloodline, the bloodline of the demon lord is noble enough to make all the clansmen submit. However, after all, after all that much time has passed, there will always be variables. Xifeng sighed. The era of gods and demons has long passed, and the leaders of that era have been drowned in the long river of time.
Today's Tian Yuan Continent is calm on the surface, but secretly it is already surging. It's just that some people hide it too well. However, when the news of the Demon Venerable's appearance spreads, it will definitely make those people hiding in the shadows ready to move.
The Demon Venerable must be the ruler of a clan, even if a long time has passed, the name of the Demon Venerable is enough to shake the entire continent. Xifeng thought, I don't know if the demon venerable is in the world, whether it is the deity or something else. He was very curious, and took this opportunity to come to the demon clan.
The little entanglement in Xi Yan's heart, with the news brought by the stream wind, there was nothing left that had already dissipated. All her thoughts were on the Demon Venerable, how could she think about anything else. If her guess is right, Qi Chen is really a demon venerable, how should she face him. However, the most important thing at the moment is that if he is really a demon venerable, then the next situation must be very difficult. Indeed, as Xi Feng said, it is not so easy to unify the demon clan.
"Xi'er, Xi'er......" Xifeng called several times in a row. only then did he pull Xi Yan back.
"What are you thinking, I can still be so completely distracted when I stand next to you." Xifeng complained, "Xi'er. I'm right next to you, can't you see my save? As soon as I arrived at the demon clan, I immediately came to look for you, but that's how you did to me. ”
Xi Yan apologized: "Xifeng, I'm just thinking about something. Not for you. As long as she thought that Qi Chen was a demon venerable, she couldn't sit still, and she couldn't wait to rush to him immediately to ask for clarification.
But these words can't be said to Xifeng. Xi Yan can only suffer in her heart alone. For Xifeng, she still can't trust it wholeheartedly.
"Xi'er, what kind of eyes are you, how can I see doubt in your eyes?" Xifeng looked at her and was a little sad.
"What you have done has left an indelible impression on me. It's hard to put it down for a while, so please bear with me. After all, it's the bitter fruit of your brewing. The consequences are still up to you. Every time she sees the stream, she remembers what had happened.
The smile on Xifeng's face retracted when he heard this. But he was powerless to dispel the doubts in her heart. After all, what happened in the past was real, no matter what kind of mentality he had at the time, the damage caused to her was real.
Looking at Xifeng blaming herself, Xi Yan couldn't bear to say: "Actually, there is nothing left, it's just that it's hard to let go for a while, and after a while, it will definitely be eliminated." ”
Xifeng smiled bitterly: "Xi'er, I know it's difficult to gain your trust again. But you have to trust me that I won't hurt you. ”
Xi Yan said helplessly: "Xifeng, you and I can't explain the situation like this today, even if I nod now and admit that I trust you." Would you believe it? Let's put that aside for a moment and let's talk about something else. ”
"Okay." Xifeng readily agreed, he had no other way.
"The demon venerable is here, then the troubled times of the demon clan are coming, right?" Although she already had the answer in her heart, Xi Yan couldn't help but ask. No matter what Brook Breeze has done. After all, he knew a lot more than she did.
Xifeng looked into the distance and sighed, "Not necessarily. ”
"Oh, why?" Didn't what he just said just want to explain this problem, it was precisely because of the internal strife of the demon clan that he was able to appear here.
Xifeng said: "From the current point of view, chaos has started, but although the news of the Demon Venerable's appearance has come out, no one has seen it with their own eyes after all. If the demon venerable has the courage to turn the tide, it is not yet known. ”
"Do you mean that the troubled times depend on the Demon Venerable?"
"Well, after all, the demon clan is a race that pays attention to blood, and the oppression of bloodline is destined by God. If the Demon Venerable itself is very powerful, then it is not difficult to unify the Demon Clan. If the Demon Venerable is in a weak position, then it will naturally usher in troubled times. ”
Xi Yan understood, just now she was still worried about the troubled times that Qi Chen was going to face, but hearing Xifeng say this, thinking about Qi Chen again, there should be no chaos.
The most important thing is that Qi Chen is not alone. Around him were gathered the powerful demon clan, and each of those subordinates was extraordinary, enough to deal with the current situation.
Besides, Qi Chen has been back in the demon clan for a few years, and it is impossible to be completely unprepared. He must have planned in place before he chose to do it. It was a battle he had been planning for a long time, and now that the curtain was on it, he was ready.
Thinking of this, Xi Yan's worries immediately dissipated.
Xifeng watched the expression on Xi Yan's face change constantly, and studied it with great interest. However, Xi Yan, who was immersed in her own thoughts, seemed to have forgotten him.
"Xi'er, you are happy for a while, and tangled for a while, what are you thinking?"
Xi Yan was silent, he could see what she was thinking just now?
"If I'm worried about your safety, I can get you out of here right now. Xi'er, no matter what the situation of the demon clan will be, I can protect you. ”
"You don't have to, I'm sorry to have asked you to help since I met you. Still, I want to say thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to come to the demon clan, let alone step out of the wilderness, go so far, see scenery that I've never seen before, and learn a lot. Xi Yan didn't want Xifeng to bring up such an ambiguous topic again, so she could only diverge.
Xifeng smiled, "If you don't want to say it directly, don't be like this, Xi'er, I won't be angry with you." ”
After hesitating for a moment, Xi Yan still asked: "Why are you so good to me, I can feel that you are different from me, what is this qiē for, can you give me an answer?" This question had been bothering her for a long time, and Xifeng did treat her differently, and she could feel it clearly.
Xifeng stared at her for a moment, then turned his head and said, "Do you have to know?" ”
Xi Yan nodded.
However, Xifeng said, "Xi'er, you need to find the answer yourself. I'm not going to tell you, but if you want to know, you'll find out soon. It's just that I shouldn't sue you. I want you to unravel the mystery yourself. ”
Xi asked, "Why?" "He just said it, didn't he just do it. Why wait that long.
"Will you believe me when I say it?" Xifeng asked rhetorically.
"Well, how do you know I don't believe it if you don't tell me." Xi Yan subconsciously retorted.
Xifeng stared at her, "I know you won't believe it, I still want you to find it yourself." I'm not going to say anything, but I can assure you that I don't feel malicious to you. You must remember that I will not hurt you at any time. ”
Xi Yan was speechless, and when she said this, how to let her continue. I know that I have always been wary of him, and I have to keep saying this.
At this moment, the thoughts of the two turned a thousand times.
"It's time to go back." Xi Yan said in a low voice.
Xifeng asked, "Can I join you?" "He came to the demon clan just because she was here, but she still has this attitude. Although she knew she couldn't be anxious, she still couldn't stand her doubts about herself.
Xi Yan looked at him and shook her head. If she brought the stream back with her, it was conceivable that it would cause restlessness. Qi Chen alone is already difficult to deal with, not to mention several of his subordinates.
As long as she thinks of Chixing, Xi Yan's head hurts, and those people are really difficult to deal with, although they all look smiling and talking, but she knows very well that if it weren't for Qi Chen's face, they wouldn't treat her with such a good attitude.
Each of them is very strong and should not be underestimated, but because of Qi Chen's relationship, they have to smile at a small human like her.
If they knew that the existence of the stream wind would definitely fight for their honor, then a battle was inevitable. In order not to hurt the innocent, it is better for Xifeng not to show up. (To be continued.) )
