Chapter 55: No Cure (Asking for Votes)
As soon as Xia Xue'er stepped into Yalanxuan with her front foot, she felt that the atmosphere in the courtyard was strange, so she stood quietly and listened carefully.
Cuizhu saw that the young lady suddenly stood up and didn't leave, and her two eyebrows were tightly frowned together, as if something bad was coming. I can't help but get nervous.
"No, it's too quiet."
Cuizhu looked left and right, but didn't notice anything wrong, so he asked puzzledly, "Miss?" What's wrong? β
Xia Xue'er didn't answer, but her eyes lit up and she hurriedly ran to her mother's room. But as soon as she entered the door, she was stunned by the scene in front of her.
The two people sitting at the table ...... It's the master and the ...... Father?
"Cher, come and sit."
Seeing Xia Xue'er suddenly appear at the door, the two big men who were originally alone instantly became kind and invited Xia Xue'er in unison.
Seeing this situation, although Xia Xue'er smiled awkwardly on her face, countless question marks kept popping up in her heart. Walking into the room stiffly, looking at the two faces that had been through vicissitudes of life, one on the left and one on the right, but at this moment there were nervous expressions, as well as the two pairs of eyes that were also full of expectation, Xia Xue'er really didn't know where to sit.
Just when she was embarrassed, Senior Brother Zhang came out of the room, carrying a medical box in his hand, his face full of ease. Xia Xue'er hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is my mother?" β
"Senior sister, don't worry, but Madame will wake up in an hour."
Hearing this, Xia Xue'er was overjoyed, this is the best good news she has heard in so long since the accident, there is no one!
Xia Qingxuan, who didn't know why, was full of doubts, as soon as he returned home, he heard the news that his wife had fallen into a coma, and no one could say the reason. Looking at the three people in the room again, they were all overjoyed, and their excitement was overflowing, and his heart was even more uncomfortable, as if he had overturned ten jars of old vinegar at once, sour!
Xia Xue'er was still careful, and found her father Tie Qing standing aside with a blue face, staring at Shizun angrily, that look, I can't wait to cut him with a thousand knives immediately to relieve my hatred!
So she hurriedly trotted to her father, grabbed her father's left arm and said coquettishly, "When will my father return to the house?" Have you had a good rest all the way? β
Xia Qingxuan turned his gaze to his baby daughter, and there was no murderous aura in his eyes, but he was still unhappy. Suddenly, he raised his right arm and gently brushed away his daughter's slender jade hand that was holding his left arm, and asked with a stern face: "You unfilial daughter, don't play tricks for your father anymore!" β
In the past, no matter how angry his father was, as long as Xia Xue'er dragged his arm and said a few nice words, he would always be angry, but today her father not only knocked off her hands, but also his expression was very strict, and there was a trace of anger burning in his eyes, and she realized the strictness of the matter.
So he hurriedly said: "It was all the daughter's fault for not taking good care of her mother and letting her do such a thing, and the daughter admitted the punishment and never complained!" I hope that the father will not be angry with his daughter! β
As soon as Xia Xue'er finished speaking, Xia Qingxuan looked at her with a look of hatred and asked, "Why do you want to worship under the Earthquake Heaven Hero, are all the capable people in the world dead?!" β
Hearing this, Xia Xue'er opened her mouth wide in surprise and her eyes widened. She thought that her father was angry because her mother was unconscious in an accident, but she didn't expect it to be for this!
"Eh, eh!" Xia Xue'er didn't answer her father's words, but Zhen Tianxiong was not very happy when he heard this, but he didn't defend with a straight face, but said with a smile: "Brother Xia's words are wrong! Xue'er is a martial arts wizard, why can't she worship under my Zhentianxiong's door? Brother Xia's words, do you look down on me Zhentianxiong or look down on the dignified Netherworld Valley? β
Xia Qingxuan glanced at Zhen Tianxiong hatefully and ignored it. His precious daughter admits that the thief is a teacher, and it is definitely the bad that he makes from it! Is this plan to renew the relationship with Zhao Yulan?
Zhen Tianxiong was furious by Xia Qingxuan's strange eyes, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't look at me like that, I didn't let Xue'er be my apprentice for a private meeting with Yulan, during this period, I didn't even see her side, let alone get along alone!" β
When they heard the word "private meeting", everyone in the room turned their eyes to Zhen Tianxiong, and Xia Qingxuan even clenched his hands with a gurgling sound. At this time, Xia Xue'er couldn't wait to hit her head to death! Shizun obviously knew that his father was jealous of this matter, and he had doubts about him and his mother, but he was good, not only did not try to clarify, but deliberately used such a sensitive word to stimulate his father.
The atmosphere in the room was tense, it seemed that even the air was frozen, as long as one was not careful, the two masters would fight, Xia Xue'er was really worried.
Looking at her father Tie Qing's face, and then looking at Shizun's secretly happy eyes, Xia Xue'er looked up helplessly and rolled her eyes at the carved roof.
On weekdays, the two of them look like a decent and unsmiling worldly master, but now they look like two angry children, especially Shizun, who will deliberately be angry with others. I really don't know whether to say that they are innocent or that they are naΓ―ve?
"Oh, that's right", at this stage of tense atmosphere, Zhen Tianxiong suddenly spoke again, but this time he said not to Xia Qingxuan but to Xia Xue'er: "Xue'er, it's boring for you to stay in this deep-walled compound all day, why don't you go back to the valley with your teacher to live in the valley for ten days and half a month, and see what kind of Cheng dΓΉ your martial arts have recovered as a teacher, and personally give you advice!"
Before Xia Xue'er could answer, Xia Qingxuan dragged her daughter behind her and hid her, glaring angrily at the smiling Zhentianxiong and asked, "What are you going to do?!"
When Zhen Tianxiong heard this, he raised his eyebrows and replied indifferently: "No matter what sect or sect, if you want to develop and grow, you will rely on the master and apprentice to pass it on from generation to generation. And I am her only master, she is my personal disciple, Brother Xia said, what else will happen between master and apprentice? β
"My Xia Qingxuan's daughter is everyone's best girl, how can she follow you in the rivers and lakes! It is only natural that the son inherits the father's will! β
"I don't know that the son inherits his father's ambition, but I have heard of the son inheriting his father's business, is it possible that Xue'er will be able to inherit your title in the future? Oh! What should the son of the world do? β
Looking at Shizun's innocent expression and that natural tone, Xia Xue'er couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart, she could feel her father's body trembling as he tried his best to suppress the flames in his chest that wanted to erupt! One can imagine how angry my father is at this moment!
"The most important thing for my daughter's family is to find a good home and live happily for a lifetime, and only I, a first-class military marquis, can give these to her!"
"That's right, it's just that the dark tide of your Hou Mansion is surging, I'm afraid that you won't be able to find a good place to go!"
"Megatron! What did you say! β
Xia Qingxuan was furious, an outsider dared to provoke him like this! If it weren't for his daughter stopping him, he would have shot a long time ago.
"Isn't it? Do you really care about your daughter's life or death? Do you, the husband, really understand the suffering of your wife?
"Poisoning, pushing people, setting fires, even rats are coming to join in the fun, and the people in the house are really doing everything to compete for favor! Look at the one lying on the inside, do you dare to say that you can keep their mother and daughter safe for the rest of their lives? β
Zhen Tianxiong was also excited, and every word hit the sore spot, making people unguarded.
Xia Qingxuan was very frustrated, although he didn't want to believe the words that came out of Zhen Tianxiong's mouth, but the words pierced his body like a needle, it hurt, but he couldn't stop it.
"What are you talking nonsense?"
"You are good at governing the army, but you can't manage the family, go down and check it carefully, and you will know what I mean!"
Looking at Xia Qingxuan's frustrated look, Zhen Tianxiong suddenly changed his expression, sighed and stretched out his hand to pat the other party's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Brother, it's not that I want to fight with you for the two of them, to be honest, I can't fight either, their hearts are here with you!" You don't have to be so wary of me, I have long regarded Yulan as my own sister! β
All the past came to mind, he was jealous, he left home, she was injured, she was unconscious, it seemed that he was failing her from beginning to end, she was tolerating him!
With only guilt and tears in his heart, he clenched his fists to prevent himself from crying, his nails biting into his palms, oozing bright red blood, and even his shoulders were shaking violently.
Xia Xue'er looked at the qiΔ in front of her, not knowing what to say, this qiΔ came so suddenly that she didn't have time to prepare. Shizun and her father seem to have been arguing about her future, but unconsciously untied the knot in her father's heart and reconciled her father and mother, and this qiΔ is all thanks to her seemingly naΓ―ve but actually wise master.
Zhen Tianxiong took one last look at Xia Qingxuan and Xia Xue'er, and left with Senior Brother Zhang in a witty manner.
Xia Xue'er looked at the direction in which Shizun left, and then looked at her father's dejected expression, and hurriedly rushed out of the door after a few seconds of confusion, she seemed to see his sad eyes before Shizun went out.
"Master!"
On the path outside Yalan Xuan, Zhen Tianxiong heard Xia Xue'er's call, stood up, and turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from. And Senior Brother Zhang comprehended, and bowed to Zhen Tianxiong and said, "Lord Gu, I'll go back to the medicine hall first."
Xia Xue'er trotted to Shizun's side, "Thank you, Master, with a brother like you who thinks about your sister in everything, my mother must be very happy!" β
Zhen Tianxiong smiled, stared at the blazing eyes of his beloved disciple, and said with open-mindedness and a little sadness in his tone: "The succession is not a whim for the teacher, you think about it, you don't have to answer as a teacher in a hurry."
After that, without waiting for Xia Xue'er to speak, he disappeared in place. Xia Xue'er looked around, but there was no trace of Shizun, and there was no trace of him around, and even the air did not tremble at all.
"Bang Bang Bang"
Suddenly, there was a crisp applause from behind her, Xia Xue'er frowned, and saw Aunt Bai flash out from behind the gate of Yalanxuan, standing alone on the steps, looking at her with an interested face, and the applause just now came from her.
"I didn't expect to be bored for a while, and I actually watched such a wonderful show!"
Xia Xue'er stared at Bai Yining without saying a word, seeing that she had just come out from behind the gate of Yalanxuan, she knew that she had been hiding in her mother's garden for some time, and she didn't know how much she had heard the conversation between her father and Shizun. And according to her guess, what will be Bai Yining's story time next.
As she expected, after the two looked at each other for a few seconds, Bai Yining raised his feet and walked out of the courtyard gate, slowly walking towards her, and telling his own arguments in his mouth.
"What kind of courage is it to see the people you love empathize with each other, what kind of open-mindedness is it to help them rebuild their friendship, and what kind of open-mindedness is it to hand over your life's work to the daughter of your rival! Zhentianxiong is worthy of being the heroes of the rivers and lakes that make Xichen fall for him! β
"It's just that he is also a ruthless person, and he doesn't care about Xi Chen's life and death, so that she dies with hatred and a desolate death!"
Looking at the resentment that slowly rose in Bai Yining's bottomless eyes, Xia Xue'er suddenly interrupted her, "Will you stop?" β
Hearing this, Bai Yining woke up from his memories, moved his gaze to Xia Xue'er, and asked suspiciously, "Why should I stop?"
"Because revenge makes you mentally miserable, revenge makes you ignore the good in life, revenge makes you move further and further away from yourself!"
"No", Bai Yining shook his head with a ghostly smile, suddenly leaned his face close to Xia Xue'er's face, stared at her eyes, and said calmly: "For so many years, what has supported me to live is my hatred for Zhao Yulan, revenge is the reason and meaning for me to survive in the world, only it can make me feel happy!"
"But after every action, what you feel is not relaxation, but baggage, and the heavier and heavier burden has weighed you down, and one day, it will destroy your spiritual world and make you a madman who can't feel anything!"
"Hahaha! Hahaha! Bai Yining suddenly laughed, and after laughing, she looked at Xia Xue'er with red eyes, gritted her teeth and said word by word: "Don't worry, I will always play with you until I take my last breath!" Hahaha, hahaha! β
Xia Xue'er looked at the direction of Bai Yining's departure, her heart was mixed, and after thinking for a while, she seemed to be talking to herself and commanded softly:
"She was terminally ill and there was no cure. Bamboo...... Start your plan! β
Bai Yining's crazy and ethereal laugh kept echoing in the air for a long time.
