Chapter 268: Deliberate Alienation
The early morning stream was shining with silver light by the sun, Qingxue was shining by this point of light, and slowly opened her eyes, and the dazedness that flashed for a moment made her come back to her senses except for a moment, but she saw Yijian washing a few green fruits by the stream.
Qingxue got up and walked over, picked up the stream water and washed her face, and hurriedly wiped it with a handkerchief, then said to Yi Jian, "Why did you get up so early?" ”
Leaning on the sword turned back to the head, there were red bloodshots, but he didn't seem to notice it at all, and smiled at Qingxue, "You're awake, come and eat a few fruits."
"You just picked it up?" Qingxue was not polite, and directly took a fruit that had been washed by a sword, and asked while eating.
Yijian said 'um' and didn't say anything, but Qingxue continued to ask, "You didn't rest well last night?" Why do your eyes get red? ”
"It's nothing, it's just that some things can't be figured out" Yijian still replied lightly, and continued to wash the fruit in his hands, listening to the sound of him talking, Qingxue intuitively felt that he seemed to be in a bad mood.
"You," in the end, Qingxue didn't say anything, she felt as if she didn't have a position to say something, even if people were in a bad mood, it didn't seem to be her turn to ask, right? She can't ask this kind of inquiry into other people's privacy.
The footsteps behind him gradually faded away, leaning on the sword to see that the fruit in his hand had been pinched in half by him, laughing at himself, throwing away the broken fruit casually, picking up the washed ones, turning around and walking back.
Both of them ate in silence before hitting the road again. Target, Sunshine City! Stepping on the boring hurried time again, leaning on the sword along the way, but unusually silent. Although the two didn't talk non-stop along the way, they at least had some communication.
But two days have passed, Yijian still looks preoccupied, silent all day, and when he is in a hurry, he seems to be deliberately avoiding her? Qingxue didn't know if she was thinking too much, or if the other party really meant it. But she just had a vague feeling.
The relationship between the two, which had gradually warmed up, cooled down all of a sudden, and it seemed to be even more estranged. was deliberately created to be estranged, and Qingxue didn't know how to deal with this situation. She has also been constantly recalling in the past two days, is it that what she said that day has been heard, so this is a rejection with an attitude? But she thought carefully about what she had said that day. It doesn't seem to make people feel this way.
Helpless. She could only follow the intention of leaning on the sword, try not to disturb him, and not take the initiative to approach, but fortunately, there is not much time for this embarrassment, and one day further, it will be Riyao City.
The north gate of Riyao City has lost its former prosperity, but has a tense sense of depression. The gates of the city, which used to be free and open, were also guarded. It should be in case someone approaches again, Qingxue thought secretly in her heart. If it was before, she would casually introduce this place to Yijian, talking about some things that happened when she was here, or interesting people or things she had seen, and then he would listen with a smile, and occasionally say one or two things to amuse her.
But now, Qingxue looked at Yijian two steps away behind him, he also stopped and looked at himself, his eyes were a little complicated, and he opened his mouth for the first time, "Let's go"
Qingxue reluctantly smiled "um", and turned around and walked towards the city first.
Unexpectedly, there was someone at the city gate who knew Qingxue, and when he saw her approaching, he stepped forward and greeted her, "Miss Mo, are you back?" Where have you been in this for so long? ”
Qingxue looked at the person in front of her and was stunned, she thought hard for a long time, and she didn't remember when she knew the person in front of her, but the person was also smart, seeing Qingxue's confused appearance, she also introduced herself, "I am Jiutian Longhua, when you were in the gang before, you once helped me see the injury, so I know you"
"Oh" Qingxue suddenly smiled, "I didn't expect anyone to know me, are you here to guard the city?" ”
"Yes, it's not peaceful now, you must know it, the Poison Dragon Gang and the Heavenly Fire Sect are attacking the city everywhere, and if it weren't for our Nine Heavens Longhua, this Riyao City would have been taken away a long time ago. By the way, you should know, now this Riyao City is ours, and our gang leader is now the city lord of this Riyao City."
"Well, I see" Qingxue nodded in response, smiled and waved goodbye to the man, "Then you guys should be busy first, I will also go to the city first, the location of the gang has not changed, right?" ”
"It hasn't changed, it hasn't changed, but if you want to help them, go directly to the City Lord's Mansion" The man enthusiastically guided Qingxue in the direction and waved goodbye to her.
"Okay, then let's go first, see you in the gang when we go back" Qingxue also said two more polite words, and the 'we' in the words also unconsciously included Yijian.
Yijian, who was following Qingxue, of course, also heard her last words, and after being slightly stunned, he also brought a long-lost smile, and politely said goodbye to a few people guarding the city, and the person saw that he was with Qingxue, and he waved his hand politely, which was regarded as goodbye.
Qingxue led the way directly in front, and went straight to the station of Jiutian Longhua in her impression, she remembered, next to it was the city lord's mansion of Riyao City, and that side was also the most prosperous place in the entire Riyao City, and it was the main road of the entire city, which was still relatively easy to find.
The more she went inside, the more prosperous it became, there were a lot of people, and all kinds of sounds broke into her ears together, making her feel a little uncomfortable after walking outside for a long time. Qingxue frowned and shuttled through the crowd, Wushuang opened the way for her in front, and the people in front of her retreated, and her side was not too crowded, just the sounds around her
Yijian still silently followed behind Qingxue, but he didn't deliberately keep his distance like before, but tightly guarded her behind, not letting this wave of people squeeze her, he knew that Qingxue didn't like such crowding and excitement.
I don't know what's going on in this area, there are a lot of people, even if there is Wushuang opening the way in front, I still feel that there are crowds around me, and there are so many people that it is a little irritating.
At this time, there was chaos in the flow of people in front, Qingxue looked carefully, and saw the people in front of him staggering and falling, and from time to time there would be bursts of scolding, shouting, accompanied by painful screams, and people could hear a burst of sore teeth.
Seeing that this commotion had spread to the front, a petite figure in the crowd was approaching rapidly, and it was about to crash into Wushuang's body, Wushuang flashed to the side with agility, Qingxue also saw this situation, and quickly flashed to the side, and by the way, he also pulled the person behind him, afraid that he would block his sight, and he would dodge without hurry.
Seeing that the black petite figure had run over quickly, not to mention the face, even the gender Qingxue hadn't seen it clearly, but it had nothing to do with her, just thought of this, and saw a cold light flash in front of her, Qingxue instinctively reached out and grabbed the cold light that shook in front of her, and she reacted after clamping, the cold light just now was not aimed at herself, looking at the whereabouts, it should be chasing the person in front.
Qingxue thought of this, but still frowned, there is trouble here, and there are so many people around, and they dare to use hidden weapons? This man also seems to be a ruthless and careless person. I couldn't help but feel a little angry in my heart, this is Riyao City, it is the Riyao City of Nine Heavens Longhua, someone is making trouble here, which makes Qingxue, who cares so much about Nine Heavens Longhua, how can he not be angry?
At this time, the owner of the suspected firing weapon had also run over, Qingxue subconsciously reached out to stop the person who was also galloping forward, the person saw that the figure of the person he was chasing flashed and was about to disappear, and someone in front of him reached out to stop him, and he couldn't help but be angry, and he pushed out with a palm, avoiding Qingxue's outstretched hand, and was about to continue to chase forward.
Qingxue saw that the other party wanted to split her interception with a direct palm, and without waiting for the other party to run in front of her, she also pushed out a palm, and with a fierce wind, she chased behind the person. The other party heard the wind behind him, of course, it was impossible to ignore it, he didn't have time to turn back, and he avoided the part where the wind was the most powerful when he was running, and then at the moment of turning around, he also slapped back.
When Qingxue climbed over with a palm, she saw that the other party dodged the strongest palm wind in two flashes, and when she immediately withdrew her palm, she was also secretly guarding against the other party's counterattack, and the moment she turned around, it was also a roar, Qingxue was also using her strength in her palm, and she wanted to have a hard encounter.
Unexpectedly, at the moment when the opponent's palm wind pushed over, a hand was also stretched out in the oblique stab, and it grabbed the opponent's wrist at once, buckled the opponent's pulse, and made the opponent have to stop the offensive.
Qingxue saw that someone stopped the person, and it was not good to take advantage of the danger of the person, and she really injured the person with a palm, although she was a little angry that the other party put a hidden weapon in the crowd, but after all, no one hurt anyone, and she had no grudge against others, how could it be so good to hurt someone without asking the reason.
Thinking of the hidden weapon, Qingxue stretched out her other hand, she was still holding the hidden weapon she had just received in her hand, and now that she had time to look at it, she realized that this hidden weapon was a delicate knife, which looked very familiar.
Qingxue was thinking hard, but a woman on the opposite side called her, and looked up blankly, but it was the person who was caught by Yijian on the other side, it turned out to be a woman, "Yo, it's really you, the Mo family's sister, do you remember me?" Without waiting for Qingxue to reply, the man first threw a flattering look at Yi Jian's amorous style, "I said, even if you have any thoughts about me, you can't just pull me in front of this public, don't worry, I'll give you a chance, I won't run"
This sound, the sword was extremely embarrassed, and he immediately threw it away as if he was holding a piece of coal, and then looked at Qingxue in a little panic, and explained dryly "I, I didn't" (to be continued. )
