Fifty-eight, supplication
Compared with the time-honored orthodox "Dao Technique", the scope of the "Spell" that mixes many aspects is much broader, and of course, the "Soul" related spells that are already partial and not very powerful have been in-depth in the Dao Law Realm, except for people who are born with a negative physique, no one will deliberately seek information in this regard, but Ji Haiyun is an exception.
In the past, he had been deeply involved in this knowledge for some reason, so he could come to the answer immediately after listening to Zhang Longqian's words, not only that, but he probably knew better than anyone how terrible it was to be stripped of his soul and soul.
In comparison, cutting off one's own limbs with one's own hands is still merciful.
Since he was able to strip his soul, Cang Yan must have known this, but even so, he was only fifteen years old at the time, and he still made such a choice.
Is it because he knows that he can't escape from the Cang family, and he is too desperate to choose this way?
No, Ji Haiyun believes that he is doing the opposite.
-- Not because of "despair," but for "hope."
When he saw her through the separated soul and soul, had he already fulfilled his long-cherished wish?
Looking at Zhang Longqian, who was thinking carefully about his emotions a little bit, Ji Haiyun's eyes shook slightly.
“…… But it's not a 'hope'......"
The subtle murmur was heard by Zhang Longqian, who lowered his head in contemplation, but she didn't hear it completely, she couldn't help but look up at Ji Haiyun in confusion: "Haiyun, did you just say something?" ”
The shaky color in his eyes vanished. A gentle and straightforward smile bloomed on Ji Haiyun's face: "It's just a little emotion, don't care." ”
Zhang Longqian, who had no time to distract him, didn't notice Ji Haiyun's slight abnormality, and when he heard this, he didn't say anything more. He lowered his head again and thought about it seriously.
It's not about what direction she's going to go, it's not about hesitation, she's thinking about "how" to get there.
From Ji Haiyun's mouth, Zhang Longqian learned that after they came out of the passage, Nangong Piao left, except for whispering a few words to her who was distracted at that time, he didn't say hello to anyone, including Bai Lu, and disappeared from the academy quietly.
Recall the words that remain in my memory. Obviously, Nangong Piao went back to the Cang family.
His departure seemed so hurried that he couldn't even say goodbye to the others, but why did he take the time to quietly hand the memory stone to her? Is it just to tell her the brutal "truth"? If only for this. So why did he leave the latter sentence?
Take care...... Also, don't try to ......
Gradually recalling Nangong Piao's words at that time, Zhang Longqian muttered in a low voice.
“…… Don't try to come to us. ”
Mingming whispered "Don't look for us" in that trembling voice, but he told her all the secrets buried in his heart.
Is he really an accomplice in hurting Cang Yan?
looked at Zhang Longqian, who was silently thinking. Ji Haiyun also seemed to be thinking about something. The color in the depths of his eyes changed slightly a few times, and he finally opened his mouth as if he had made up his mind, but saw Zhang Longqian look up resolutely.
"Haiyun, I want to see Mr. Zhang."
The words he wanted to say were swallowed back like this, Ji Haiyun was stunned for a moment, and after a little thought, he said seriously: "Miss, you should remember that I said that you will be in the Zhang family because the old man has something to find you, right?" ”
"I remember. It's a matter of the Five Elements Sword, right? ”
Simply answered. Zhang Longqian's face was not surprised at all, which made Ji Haiyun frown slightly.
"Now that you've guessed it. Then you still took the initiative to meet the old man, are you mentally prepared? ”
"I don't have any room to resist the matter of the Five Elements Sword, but if I can use this as a bargaining chip, why not?"
Saying that, Zhang Longqian's face bloomed with the usual calm and leisurely smile, if it weren't for the tears not drying, I'm afraid Ji Haiyun would have wondered if the girl who cried bitterly a moment ago, as if she was about to be shattered, was the same person as her.
But what moved Ji Haiyun even more was the meaning of her words.
“…… Do you want to get the old man to help you in exchange? ”
Zhang Longqian just smiled slightly and did not answer.
Ji Haiyun frowned: "I actually want to use the Five Elements Sword as a bargaining chip...... Do you even know the seriousness of this? ”
"I understand, but I understand even better, Cang Yan's side is much more serious." The smile disappeared slightly, Zhang Longqian and Ji Haiyun looked at each other, and pursed their lips, "I have too little control over the situation over there, and the longer the time drags on, the more dangerous he becomes, I can't afford to gamble." ”
So would you rather sacrifice yourself?
His brows were furrowed, and Ji Haiyun wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhang Longqian.
"Haiyun, you don't need to say it, I will never change my mind. Moreover...... I didn't go to exchange with the head of the Cang family, but to discuss it with Mr. Zhang, no problem. ”
Looking at the firmness in her eyes that would not waver no matter what, Ji Haiyun hesitated for a moment, and finally had to compromise.
"Okay...... I'll take you to see the old man. ”
got up and walked out of the door behind Ji Haiyun, who looked helpless, Zhang Longqian looked at his back and whispered.
"Thank you."
Thank you for worrying about me.
The words that were not directly said made Ji Haiyun's figure pause slightly, he looked back at Zhang Longqian, and then turned his head away.
"This kind of thing...... It's not worth your thanks at all. ”
The soft voice trembled a little for some reason, but at this moment, Zhang Longqian was full of worries and didn't notice this faint strangeness at all.
I didn't see the unconcealable sorrow in Ji Haiyun's eyes.
Silently, he followed Ji Haiyun in the huge Zhang family for a while, and then entered a study, and after hearing Ji Haiyun's knock on the door, Zhang Hanguang, who was sitting behind the desk, raised his head, and couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhang Longqian walking behind.
"Long Qian, are you better?"
Zhang Longqian immediately bowed and saluted: "I'm sorry for your trouble." ”
Signaling Ji Haiyun to close the door of the study, and letting Zhang Longqian sit down, Zhang Hanguang looked at her, stroked Bai Xu and said, "Just be polite." As soon as you wake up, this girl came to find the old man, I'm afraid it's not for the Five Elements Sword, right? ”
Knowing that he couldn't hide it in front of Zhang Hanguang, Zhang Longqian pursed his lips and spoke directly.
"Long Qian should do his best for the Five Elements Sword, and he will never complain, but in addition, Long Qian also wants to ask Mr. Zhang for one thing."
Not "please", but "beg".
Zhang Hanguang remained silent: "What's the matter?" ”
It was still difficult to hide the grief in his eyes, and Zhang Longqian's voice was full of determination.
"Please save Cang Yan." (To be continued.) )
