Chapter 35: The Story Uncovers the Truth
"Fei'er!" Su Yingxue saw that she was in danger, she quickly climbed onto the windowsill and jumped from the second floor, landing lightly on the street.
Holding the wand of the goddess, she spun it quickly and pointed at Tong Yu.
Tong Yu saw that it was her, and the amulet in his hand gradually lost the light source.
"Sakurayuki, are you alright? I'm here to save you! β
Chu Fei'er stood up from the ground, as if she hadn't seen Su Yingxue for a long time.
"If you dare to leave, I will still find trouble with Tan Yuwei!"
Tong Yu threatened her.
Su Yingxue didn't plan to leave, she had her plan, so she said to Chu Fei'er: "You guys go back first!" I'm not leaving! β
"Sakurayuki!"
Chu Fei'er didn't understand, and was still hesitating there.
"Go back!"
Su Yingxue repeated it loudly again, and then walked into the inn without looking back, and Tong Yu followed in.
Chu Fei'er and Bai Ling stood stupidly at the door for a long time before they came back to their senses, and they had no choice but to go back.
Su Yingxue returned to the upstairs room, and Tong Yu also followed in and closed the door.
Tong Yu took off the hat on his head and faced her with that terrifyingly ugly face, "If you are not afraid of my appearance, I don't need to carry a hat!" β
"What are you going to do?"
Su Yingxue wanted to see what he was capable of.
Tong Yu didn't answer, but walked to the table and sat down, "Sit! I'll tell you a story! β
Su Yingxue came to check on him, of course she wouldn't be afraid, she decisively walked to Tong Yu and sat down.
Tong Yu poured her a cup of tea, and then told a story: "In a small village, there was a man with strange martial arts, but God gave him an ugly face. The people in the village were afraid of him, he felt that it was unfair, and used his strange martial arts to vent the anger in his heart all day long. One day, he met a beautiful woman, who not only did not fear him, but also told him, 'The beauty and ugliness of a man are no longer in appearance, but in the heart.' The beautiful woman was willing to marry the man. However, Heaven was so unfair that the man had to make a choice. Between his peerless martial prowess and beautiful love, he can only choose one. He chose her without hesitation, and then abolished all his martial arts, became married to her, and lived an ordinary life. His wife thought that this ordinary life could be lived for a lifetime, but he regretted it, and he was tired of it. The more ordinary his life is, the more he misses his peerless martial arts. He continued to practice martial arts, but no matter how hard he tried, he was a wasted person, and he could no longer practice peerless martial arts. He began to blame his wife, all because of her, causing him to lose a qiΔ. He drove his wife away, and she left in despair. He has always wanted to get the most precious thing in the world, but he never thought that the most precious thing has become farther and farther away from him. Soon after, news came from his hometown that his wife was seriously ill, and he was still angry with her and did not want to see her, until his wife left him forever with regret. He regretted it, he regretted driving her, and if he could make him do it all over again, he would still choose his wife without hesitation. This time, he won't let his wife leave him againγγγ"
"Your story is very touching, what happened to that man?"
Su Yingxue asked anxiously.
Tong Yu continued: "After his wife died, he did not want to continue to live in the place where his wife had lived, because it would fill him with guilt. The man left his homeland alone and moved to a new place to start a new life. Later, the spirit of her wife would come back to him every night, and she would stand outside the man's room in the wedding dress of the day she was married, and watch him quietly all the time. Maybe it's because the day she got married was the best memory of her life! β
"Is this story true?"
When Su Yingxue saw Tong Yu's sad expression, she knew that this story was related to him.
"This is what I personally experienced!"
"Personal experience? β
"I'm the man in the story!"
Tong Yu sued her.
"You killed your wife?"
Su Yingxue understood everything, after his wife died, he came to Yanqing alone and opened this inn.
His wife always came back to him in a wedding dress, which made Su Yingxue have to think that Tong Yu was summoning his wife's soul in the middle of the night with a spiritualist technique, and that wedding dress was also worn by his wife, "Your wife, is her name Mingyu?" β
"How do you know?"
Tong Yu was surprised at first, and then thought again, "That night, you heard it all?" β
"Yes! I wonder, is the missing bride in town related to you? β
Su Yingxue knew the reason for his summoning in the middle of the night, but she didn't know what was going on with the bride's disappearance.
"After I moved to this town, because I missed Mingyu so much, whenever I saw a married woman, I could see Mingyu's shadow from her. So, the night before they got married, I took them away, forbade them to speak, and let them sit with me all night in their wedding dresses, so that I could talk to Mingyu all night. The next morning, he killed them. β
Speaking of this, Tong Yu's expression slowly changed from sadness at the beginning to evil.
"You've killed your wife, and you've killed so many innocent girls like your wife! You're mad! β
Su Yingxue listened to the story of him and Mingyu, sympathized with them, and heard that he had killed so many brides in order to miss his wife, she couldn't help but think of herself, "If you want to marry me, you also want to kill me?" β
"Nope! You're not like them, and I'm not going to kill you, because you're the only one who's like Mingyu and has said the same thing to her. You say I'm ugly on the outside, but I have a beautiful heart! β
Tong Yu originally married her because of her words.
"That's because, I thought you were a kind person at heart! But I was wrong, you are a very selfish person! β
Su Yingxue saw him clearly, "When you once had it, you didn't know how to cherish it, but now that you have lost it, you understand that you had it at the beginning." But what's the use? It's too late, your wife is dead! β
"Say no more! Say no more! β
Tong Yu has not accepted this reality so far, and he regrets it very much.
"What's the use of regretting it now? Your wife won't be coming back! β
Su Yingxue just wanted him to face reality.
"From now on, you will be Mingyu's stand-in, as long as there are still you, Mingyu will always be there!"
Tong Yu couldn't tell them apart at all now.
"In all fairness, am I like your wife? Where else do I resemble her except that I have said the same thing to her? You ask yourself in your heart, do you like me? You only have your wife in your heart, you have never been someone else, you have to face reality! β
Su Yingxue wanted him to realize that she was different from Mingyu.
"I insist on marrying you, no matter how much I say, it's useless!"
Tong Yu couldn't listen to her persuasion, and after speaking, he went out.
He locked the door, and even sealed the window, he was afraid that Su Yingxue would jump out of the window and escape again.
"If I want to run, can I be stopped in this room?"
Su Yingxue said to herself, she thought about it carefully, she gained a lot today, and understood the real inside story of the bride's disappearance, she wanted Yun Shaoqing and them to know and discuss countermeasures with them.
After deciding, he used a spell to conjure a note and left it for Tong Yu, and then cast the spell and disappeared.
