Chapter 157: Persecution

For an instant, the air was silent, and no one spoke.

Qiu Xue and Ruan Yayi looked at each other, one was silent and the other was indifferent, no one knew the waves hidden in the eyes of the two sides.

Qiu Xue had to admire Ruan Yayi's design for such a game.

It's so big, people don't know when to fall into it.

Qiu Xue couldn't guess when such a game would start, whether it was a few days ago, or at the first glance of the two sides meeting.

In fact, there is no use in saying this, because she has long been deeply involved in this matter.

It's like a spider's web hidden in the night, it just stays there quietly before you notice it, and it won't change in the slightest if the wind blows and the rain hits. Bump into it without realizing it, fall into it, and when you find out, there is no possibility of breaking free.

The condensation between the two was already perceiving even the most sluggish Duanmu Cang.

Raise your eyebrows slightly, and the corners of your mouth outline a subtle arc.

"So what?"

Her reaction seemed to be within his expectation, gently rubbing the rim of the cup, and a glint flashed in her eyes.

"I also asked Xiaoxue and Senior Brother to take a trip. โ€

He took Xiao Dan out of his arms, put him on the ground, and raised his head under Xiao Dan's puzzled gaze.

"Mother~. โ€

Xiao Dan pouted slightly, and stretched out his hand to pull Qiuxue's clothes.

"Xiao Dan is good~!"

Gently patting the clothes on his body, he quietly let him slide away from Xiao Dan's hand.

The light in his eyes dimmed in an instant, Xiao Dan pursed his lips, looked up at Qiu Xue, and withdrew his hand.

"Mother, I'll wait for you up there. โ€

After speaking, he lowered his head and quickly went upstairs.

Turned his gaze back to Ruan Yayi's body, and met his eyes without the slightest fluctuation.

"It's you. โ€

With a chuckle, the teacup in his hand turned into nothingness in an instant.

Her pupils shrank suddenly, and for a moment she didn't know what trick Ruan Yayi was doing.

"Xiaoxue, I just want you to go with me. โ€

Ruan Yayi's gaze faintly swept over the vigilant people around her, and finally fell on Qiu Xue's body.

"Why?"

"A long, long time ago, the ancestors handed down a sentence. Ruan Yayi leaned back, with a faint smile on her face, "When there is an abnormal movement in the Poyue Tower one day, then the only way is to find the person with the Nine Spirit Beads." โ€

"What does it have to do with me? โ€

Qiu Xue frowned, but she glanced at the other senior brothers' not quite right looks.

"What's wrong?"

"Ruan Yayi, is what you said true?

Hua Xingyu looked at Ruan Yayi seriously.

This kind of thing is not a trivial matter.

"There have been changes over the decades. โ€

Facing everyone's questioning eyes, Ruan Yayi shrugged her shoulders calmly.

"Breaking the Tower...... What's there?"

Qiu Xue's face was full of confusion.

I always felt that something was wrong.

Isn't it about yourself?

Why did it get to the Poyue Tower?

"Uh...... What's wrong?"

Facing the slightly surprised eyes of several senior brothers, Qiu Xue said that she didn't understand!

"Xiaoxue, where did you come from?You don't even know anything about such a thing as a change in the Poyue Tower?!"

Duanmucang was also speechless about Qiuxue's knowledge this time.

There is such a big thing as the Broken Yue Tower, and Qiu Xue doesn't even know anything? Shouldn't this be something that the entire continent knows?!

"There is an abnormality in the Broken Yue Tower, which means that there is a difference in the seal. โ€

"What seal?"

At this time, even Gong Anxiang was speechless for Qiu Xue.

The table fell silent.

Under everyone's increasingly weird eyes, Qiu Xue really wanted to cry without tears.

I really don't know! I'm not a native.

"There is a seal under the Poyue Tower, or rather, a corner of the seal, and no one knows when this seal will appear. However, there is a saying that has been passed down by word of mouth. โ€

"The seal is broken, and the mainland is in chaos. โ€

Listening to these six words in unison, the corners of Qiu Xue's mouth twitched slightly.

"Xiaoxue, haven't you really heard of it?"

โ€œ...... No. โ€

Hua Xingyu knocked on the table again and again, looking at Qiuxue with a pair of eyes.

"Xiao Xue'er, we don't seem to know what your identity is. โ€

His mind paused, and he looked at Hua Xingyu's focused eyes.

Suddenly smiled, and a touch of cunning flashed in his eyes.

"I'm from ...... The first face. โ€

Looking at the dumbfounded faces of several people in front of her, Qiu Xue blinked.

No, I'm not the only one from the first face, isn't my senior brother too? Why are you so surprised?

"First face?"

"Xiaoxue, you say it again, I didn't hear clearly. โ€

โ€œ......โ€

The corners of Qiu Xue's mouth twitched slightly, and she didn't care about Duanmu Cang, who was the same as a fool.

But......

looked at Ruan Yayi on the side, frowning slightly.

The man was only startled at first, and then reacted quickly.

Be...... Did you already know?

Wrong.

If you had known it a long time ago, you wouldn't have been surprised at first.

So, why?

Seeming to be under Qiu Xue's inquiring gaze, Ruan Yayi turned her head, saw Qiu Xue with doubts, and smiled slightly.

"Before I came out, the elders of the clan said that there is no Lord of the Nine Spirits in this plane, and if you want to meet it, you can only wait in the Wenyuan Academy, and when the time comes, you will naturally see it. However, I didn't expect that the Lord of the Nine Spirits would come up from below. โ€

The right eye narrowed slightly, and Qiu Xue turned his head.

"No wonder the Dean would help you. โ€

Qiu Xue is not stupid, and if she doesn't know the cause of the incident at this time, she will live up to her reputation.

With the incident of breaking the Yue Tower as a condition, of course the dean would agree to this person to plan this matter together.

Really......

With Master's character, he is probably also in this plan.

It's also absolutely amazing!

Ruan Yayi smiled but did not speak.

"Why should I help you, though? โ€

Leaning on the back of the chair, Qiu Xue crossed her hands on her chest, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and she raised her eyebrows at Ruan Yayi.

"Xiaoxue! This is about the safety of the entire continent!"

As soon as Duanmu Cang reacted, he heard this sentence and hurriedly exclaimed.

"So what?"

Qiu Xue's eyes were rare and bad, and the sarcasm on her face was undisguised.

"You!"

Duanmu Cang's pupils shrank suddenly, he didn't expect Qiu Xue to be such a person.

"I came up from below, and all my relatives and friends were down there. Let me go and see the seal, who knows what to consume. If it's my life, why should I exchange my own life for the lives of so many people I don't care about?"

"Xiaoxue!"

Duanmu Cang roared angrily, stood up, and looked at the indifferent autumn snow on his face.

At this moment, not only Duanmu Cang, but everyone here sincerely felt the indifference emanating from Qiu Xue's bones.

It does not contain the slightest emotion, ignoring the indifference of the common people.

Qiu Xue clenched her teeth tightly.

She knew that her words must be very hurtful.

The so-called, wounded 1,000 enemies and 800 self-inflicted.

However, she has no regrets.

Why.

Why should you let yourself save such a group of people.

Why do you have to save those strangers for no reason?

Why should you take your own life for such a gratuitous prophecy?

For the sake of so-called morality?

For the sake of the world?

For the sake of fame?

Scold!

Ruan Yayi calmly looked at Qiu Xue's eyes, and lightly spit out a sentence, a sentence that made Qiu Xue's heart finally harden shattered in an instant.

"I heard that some time ago, the Xi family picked up their eldest son from below, named Xi Hongyan. โ€

Qiu Xue's pupils shrank suddenly, and the hand hidden in her sleeve clenched in an instant.

The two looked at each other, one bitter and unspeakable, and the other had a chance to win.

Take a deep breath and the strength in your body quickly wears off.

Slumped in the chair, Qiu Xue smiled bitterly.

"You won...... You win. โ€

Raising his hand, he covered his eyes and hid the bitterness in his eyes.

"Light Snow ......"

Duanmu Cang was about to say something, but suddenly, his expression changed.

Surrounded by a familiar aura, Qiu Xue seemed to have found a support, grabbing the comer's clothes and letting the man protect himself under his wings.

Yan Leng looked at the slightly trembling villain in his arms, and his every move was incredibly gentle.

However, in the same way, there was undisguised killing intent in the eyes of those who looked at Ruan Yayi.

"She can't hide. โ€

Her heart trembled, but Ruan Yayi still firmly did not take her eyes off.

"Bang-"

"Poofโ€”"

It was swept to the side and hit the wall straight up.

This was Yan Leng's first move, and it was also the first time that everyone present had seen his strength.

Powerful, powerless.

Kneeling on the ground, a pair of blood-colored clothes in his eyes gradually appeared in view.

"For the sake of being Xue'er's senior brother, the deity will not take your life. โ€

In the end, the smell of rust permeated, Ruan Yayi clenched her fists, and her body trembled slightly.

"I know best what kind of personality Cher is.

Although she is indifferent, she will not sacrifice herself for a group of strangers. However, she also values love and righteousness, even for the sake of a recognized person, she can give up everything she has, including her life.

However, this does not mean that you can trample on her affection.

Let you design it, just because this is what Xue'er must come into contact with, the hidden family, sooner or later.

However, that doesn't mean you can be pretentious. โ€

This is the first time Yan Leng has said so many words, for the sake of the villain who protects himself at the tip of his heart.

The killing intent in his eyes was undiminished, and where his gaze swept, everyone's whole body tensed.

Step by step away, Ruan Yayi breathed a sigh of relief and raised her head slightly.

Looking at Yan Leng's back, a flash of golden light flashed in his eyes.

"Ahh

"The talent of the hidden family, you are not worthy. โ€

The corners of the blood-colored clothes disappeared around the corner, and Ruan Yayi lowered her head and trembled.

The shaking hand wiped the blood from his eyes, and let him use the spiritual power in his body, and the talent hidden in the blood disappeared from there.

And this side ......

"You already knew?

Grabbing Yan Leng's clothes, Qiu Xue raised her head and met Yan Leng's eyes with a hint of guilt.

โ€œ...... Kindness. Cher, I'm sorry. โ€

The light in his eyes flashed, and looking at Qiu Xue's expressionless face, Yan Leng's heart panicked......
