Chapter 120: Self-Knowledge
"Before he left, there seemed to be a cold wind blowing." Chu Litian whispered.
"Someone is helping us." Ye Aoxue narrowed her eyes and looked up at the blue sky, but the surroundings were so quiet that it was as if nothing had happened.
"Well, let's go back." Chu Litian squatted down and slowly picked up the broken sword.
Ye Aoxue looked at him sideways, his movements were slow and stiff, the sword was almost shattered, he put those fragments into his money bag, she vaguely remembered that the sword was given to him a long time ago.
There seemed to be a murmur of warmth seeping into her heart, and she turned her head, pretending that she had never felt this way.
"It's broken like this, what are you still picking it up for?"
As soon as Ye Aoxue's words fell, he had already picked up all the fragments, and stood in front of her: "You came to find Bai Ze, why didn't you sue me?" β
"There's no need."
"Do you know how dangerous it is?"
"There is a connection between me and Murong Zixuan, he didn't dare to kill me, but you yourself, running to death for no reason." Ye Aoxue turned her face away coldly.
"If you can't die, you can do anything?"
"I beg you to stop pretending to care about me!" Ye Aoxue suddenly yelled at him.
Chu Litian was stunned, puzzled and glared at her with a slight anger.
"Don't you understand that it's over between us? Why are you following me? β
"Why do you think I'm following you?" Chu Litian's face also became cold.
"Isn't it? Before I left, you pestered me and didn't let me go, and when I was talking to Bai Ze, you suddenly appeared again, didn't you follow me all the time? β
"I'm going to take this thing." Chu Litian stretched out his hand, and there was a small pill lying in the palm of his hand.
"What is this?"
Chu Litian had a cold face and clenched his hands: "This is the elixir taken from him, which is enough to prove that I am not following you." β
"What is it?" Ye Aoxue narrowed her eyes and wanted to take the elixir from Chu Litian's hand, but Chu Litian's hand clenched violently and took his hand.
"Let's go back." He turned his back and walked straight in the direction of the palace gate.
Ye Aoxue looked at his back, gritted her teeth unhappily, and muttered in her heart: "Hmph, aren't you really following me?" β
The two of them walked on the way back to the palace, silent all the way, and Ye Aoxue repeatedly played the scene when she fought with Bai Ze, although she had the immortal power of the Netherworld Master in her body, she had not fully developed it, so when she confronted Bai Ze, her strength was far less than his, and her immortal skills seemed to be deliberately restrained by him, and she couldn't use it at all.
And Chu Litian has no immortal power, although he has reached the Cheng dΓΉ of the unity of man and sword, but when facing Bai Ze, who has been demonized, he is still powerless.
She had to develop those immortal powers that she couldn't use before she knew if she had the ability to confront Bai Ze.
And Bai Ze, when did he start recognizing her? If he had recognized her from the beginning, his denial of her had perhaps been less certain; And if he didn't recognize her until halfway, then he had previously denied her Jianyì, which means that he was not willing to stop the battle, so he had to prepare for the battle.
Thinking about it, Ye Aoxue suddenly hit a big tree, because she was walking fast, so she hit it very hard, and the whole person was knocked back several steps at once, and she was about to fall down with gold stars in her eyes.
Chu Litian heard a very loud voice, so he turned his head to look at her, and saw that she was falling down, and couldn't help but rush forward to grab her with an arrow step, which happened to be impartial and very accurate, as if he had practiced it a hundred times.
Ye Aoxue was ready to fall to the ground, so a thick velvet blanket had already appeared under her, but she entered something that seemed to be warmer and more lively than the blanket. When I opened my eyes, I found that it was Chu Litian's embrace.
Without thinking, she pushed him away and straightened her clothes in embarrassment.
"Walk carefully, what do you think?" Chu Litian sighed helplessly.
That sigh went straight into Ye Aoxue's heart, she remembered that when there were not so many ups and downs between them, the two of them walked hand in hand by the lotus pond together, she was always tripped by unknown things, and he always hugged her in time, and sighed helplessly at her.
Seeing that she seemed to be in a fugue, Chu Litian stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her: "What are you thinking?" β
Ye Aoxue came back to her senses: "What exactly did you take from Bai Ze?" β
"It's just a pill."
Seeing that he refused to sue him, Ye Aoxue pursed her lips and said: "It's okay if you don't sue me, but I smelled it just now, your pill contains a lot of rare herbs, and there are Gu in it, and you don't know poison, if you take it to the imperial doctors for study, it is estimated that there are more than ten kinds of herbs in this pill, and they can only recognize one or two at most." β
"How many can you recognize?" Looking at Ye Aoxue's smug expression, Chu Litian couldn't help but excitedly.
"Me? If you show me, I'll recognize it right away. Ye Aoxue sneered and hugged her chest.
Chu Litian shook his head with a smile and walked straight forward.
Ye Aoxue felt very strange when she smelled the pill, she had never seen such a combination of all the herbs that could not be beaten by the eight poles, it was very researchable, but Chu Litian had always refused to tell her, which made her angry.
She stepped forward quickly and grabbed Chu Litian's arm: "What is it?" Show me! β
"I can't just show you the most poisonous things." Chu Litian replied in a low voice.
"Don't underestimate me, I'm a medicine man, my whole body is poisonous, what is poison? Just show me. β
Chu Litian's face was a little ugly: "I said danger, don't ask again!" β
Ye Aoxue stubbornly tilted her face, like a little beast that was obviously defeated but still refused to admit defeat: "Are you angry?" Because you can't beat Bai Ze, so you're sulking here? β
"What do I have to be angry about?" Chu Litian sneered, but his face was even more ugly.
"Then you show me." Ye Aoxue turned sideways and grabbed the things in his hand, Chu Litian was much more flexible than she imagined, and in the process of grabbing and hiding, she didn't fall into the slightest good.
She was a little angry, and quickly pointed to the two acupuncture points on his chest, Chu Litian was given by her, she raised her head and took out the pill from his brocade bag, but as soon as her hand touched the pill, it was as if she had touched fire, and her hand immediately retracted, and the pill fell to the ground.
Ye Aoxue shook her hand, and saw that the place where she touched the pill turned blue and purple, but the color began to fade gradually, but the hot feeling still burned her skin.
Chu Litian's point was broken by him, he glanced at her unhappily, took a white brocade handkerchief and picked up the pill: "I told you not to touch it." β
"Why does Bai Ze have poison pills on his body?" Ye Aoxue shook her hand angrily, unable to hide the worry in her heart, took Chu Litian's hand and looked at it, and saw that it was not poisoned, so she calmed down a little.
But thinking that what she had just said was likely to be misunderstood as concern, Ye Aoxue pretended to be displeased and said, "Why am I poisoned, but you are not poisoned?" β
"I've been wrapped in an ice handkerchief, so I'm not poisoned." Chu Litian wrapped it in a handkerchief and put it in a brocade bag.
"So what are you doing with this?"
"Bai Ze is using this to control those demons." Chu Litian said in a deep voice.
"This?" Ye Aoxue raised her eyebrows and said incredulously, "Could it be that he gave those demons the poison with Gu Mother under them and asked them to do things for him?" β
"It won't be that simple, where will those demons be so obedient."
"And what are you going to do with this pill?"
"Why are you asking so much?" Chu Litian glanced at her unhappily, "This matter has nothing to do with you, don't ask so much." β
"Why is it not related to me?" Ye Aoxue clenched her fists and said dissatisfied, "I have paid so much for this matter, you let me leave it alone now?" β
"If you leave it alone, don't you want to stay in the palace? I have prepared a carriage and asked Zhang He to take you to Yongning Kingdom to live for a while, and when this matter subsides, you can come back if you want to come back, and you can live there forever if you don't want to come back. β
Ye Aoxue puffed out her eyes: "What do you mean by this?" Who do you think you are me? Why should I listen to you? β
"If you don't listen, you have to listen." Chu Litian glared at her impatiently, suddenly took her hand and pulled her closer to him.
Her gaze slammed into him, sensing his anger and an inexplicable love like sea water, she frowned puzzled, but saw his face gradually approaching her, Ye Aoxue almost couldn't breathe, knowing that she should push him away immediately, but was captured by his starry eyes.
Suddenly, she felt a pain in the back of her neck, and it was dark in front of her, her body fell backwards as soon as she went weak, and Chu Litian stopped her and hugged her.
Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak.
Ye Aoxue's ears were completely filled with this sound, and the harsh noise made her can't help but cover her ears with her hands, and as the thing carrying her shook, Ye Aoxue fell off the seat.
With a thud, she was completely conscious.
Standing up with her hands on the seat, her head hit the roof of the sedan again, she snorted and sat back in the seat: "Where the is this!" β
"In the carriage."
Ye Aoxue looked at the source of the voice, and saw Zhang He looking at her leisurely with Erlang's legs crossed, and she was taken aback when she hadn't seen her for many days: "Why are you here?" How could I be here? β
"The emperor asked me to take you to Yongning Kingdom."
Ye Aoxue gasped, and her face suddenly sank: "I said I wouldn't go." β
"It's not up to you, but don't be angry, it's also for your safety, think about it, a big war will break out here soon, and he asked me to take you away, it's also for your own good, isn't it?"
