Chapter 69: Reluctance

Since Jiang Qihan said those words to himself that day, Qi Niang has never heard the flute at night, and Jiang Qihan seems to try to avoid being alone with him, and the daily medicine will be delivered by the maid on time. Seeing that the injury had been healed, and there was no end to it if she continued to recuperate like this, Qi Niang didn't hear the news of Qianjilou for many days, so she planned to leave. wanted to go to Jiang Qihan to say goodbye, but the maidservants all said that Jiang Qihan went out and didn't come back, and waited for three days in a row, but Jiang Qihan was not seen. In desperation, Qi Niang had to go to find a lover.

"Are you really going to go?" The lover wants to speak and stops.

Qi Niang nodded and said, "Well, I've been living here for a month, I can't stay like this all the time, I have to go back." But I haven't seen the Jiang Pavilion Lord come back for a few days, and I want to ask my aunt to convey it on my behalf. ”

"Actually......"

"Huh?" Qi Niang looked at her suspiciously.

Qing'er smiled, "It's nothing, since you insist on leaving, then I won't keep you, I will convey it to Qihan for you." I hope you will have time to play in the Valley of Strange Flowers in the future. ”

"Okay." Qi Niang said that, and went back to the room to clean up, but when she came, she was empty, and there was really nothing to take away, except for a pot of imperial jade. She took the pot of imperial jade out of the room, thought about it again, and put it back, after all, it was really inappropriate to take this thing back to Qianji Building, if Bian Che knew that he had dealings with Jiang Qihan, he would definitely be annoyed. So she left a letter and pressed it under the basin of imperial jade.

Before she got out of the valley, a dark blue figure ran straight towards Qi Niang, holding her wrist firmly, it was Jiang Qihan, who had not been seen for many days.

"Pavilion Master Jiang?" Qi Niang looked at Jiang Qihan's slightly panting face in surprise, "Aren't you out of the valley?" ”

Jiang Qihan didn't answer, his face was a little gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "You're leaving?" ”

"Well, I've been bothered for a few days, it's time to go back to the Thousand Machine Building. Because I haven't seen you, I can only say goodbye to my aunt. I'm sorry, I wanted to say thank you in person. Qi Niang said as she withdrew her hand from Jiang Qihan's hand.

Jiang Qihan didn't allow her to break free, stared at her expressionlessly and said, "Bian Che thought you were dead, what are you going to do when you go back to Qianji Tower?" ”

Qi Niang looked at him in a daze, only to feel that today's Jiang Qihan was too different from usual, and her whole body was full of coldness.

Jiang Qihan seemed to realize his gaffe, and only listened to him say gently: "Don't go back, be an ordinary person, isn't it?" Why do you want to be a killer? ”

Qi Niang looked away, "I have no choice. ”

Jiang Qihan shook his head and said, "You can choose, you can choose to stay here." Bian Che would rather abandon you for the sake of others, what is the point of you going back? ”

"How do you know this?" Qi Niang's eyes couldn't help but widen.

The corners of Jiang Qihan's mouth hooked, but he didn't see a smile, as if he suddenly had a layer of hard edges and corners. "Why you were injured and why you appeared in Tianluo Mountain, I know all this, I told you that the news of Hanjiang Pavilion is very well-informed. It's no accident that I'm going to save you. ”

"So...... Thank you Pavilion Master Jiang for bothering me, but Qianjilou has a reason why I have to go back. ”

Jiang Qihan's eyes sank, "Why? Is it Bian Che? Bian Che treated you like this, why do you still treat him like this? ”

Qi Niang's heart suddenly ached, she didn't understand why. Obviously, he has a dead heart for Bian Che, but he still doesn't want to turn his back on him. Obviously he already knew that he was dispensable in Bian Che's heart, and he knew that Bai Yuying was more important than her, but he still wanted to return to him. For so many days in the Strange Flower Valley, she had been expecting Bian Che to find her.

"I am his subordinate, and I will not betray him."

Jiang Qihan suddenly let go of her hand, her smile was cold and strong, as if she had changed a person, and her speed of speech was much faster. He was slightly annoyed, "You are so loyal to him, have you ever wondered if he needs you?" He hasn't been back to look for you since he left with Bai Yuying, and if he really cares about you dead or alive, he won't leave you there alone. ”

"Bian Che has also been poisoned by the cold." Qi Niang seemed to try her best to convince herself, even though she knew how pale these reasons sounded.

A hint of ridicule suddenly appeared on Jiang Qihan's face, and he said angrily: "Cold poison? How could Bian Che be poisoned by cold, he practiced an internal skill method, called burning ice with fire, which can use internal strength to dispel the cold qi in close proximity, he can be poisoned by anything, but only he will not be poisoned. ”

Qi Niang took a step back, looked lost, and muttered to herself, "These ...... you said"

"Mingming." Jiang Qihan suddenly grabbed her arms, looked at her aggressively and said, "If you go back like this, then what's the point of me hiding your whereabouts?" What's the point of me deliberately letting you stay here? Since Bian Che made you so unhappy, why didn't you leave him? ”

"I understand what Pavilion Master Jiang said, but I have to go back today no matter what, and Pavilion Master Jiang doesn't have to say anything." Qi Niang broke away from his hand and smiled at him, "Thank you Pavilion Master Jiang for taking care of me this month, I'm very happy...... I will keep in mind the friendship of the Jiang Pavilion Lord, and I will return it another day. ”

With that, Qi Niang turned around and left.

Jiang Qihan looked at her resolute back with sadness in his eyes, and then he curled his fingers, held it tightly and suddenly unfolded, and stepped forward quickly.

Qi Niang only felt that a pair of hands held her arm, turned her around, and suddenly a shadow was covered in front of her, the faint smell of grass and the fragrance of medicine came to her face, and Jiang Qihan's lips were tightly pressed against her. Qi Niang's eyes couldn't help but widen, and she saw Jiang Qihan's long and slightly trembling eyelashes in front of her.

Qi Niang stood stupidly and motionless, only to feel that the hand tightened her arm again, and before she came back to her senses, the fragrance on the tip of her nose suddenly left, Jiang Qihan's eyes flashed with flickering emotions, rich and elusive, as if she was restraining something.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Qihan hugged her gently, sighed and said, "I still can't resist you, although I want you to stay in the valley, but I respect any decision you make." If one day you let him go, come to me. If you don't come, then I'll go to you, remember, you owe me twice, and I'll keep it in my heart. He said in a relaxed tone that was half joking, but Qi Niang clearly saw sadness in his eyes.

"I'm sorry......" Qi Niang pressed against his chest, and suddenly felt very sad that his heart was blocked by something. If she had known Jiang Qihan earlier, if she hadn't been a killer, maybe she would have fallen in love with this man who had always given her a lot of care.

"There's nothing I'm sorry for, I just regret that I didn't meet you earlier and let you like someone else first. There is a thick fog outside the Strange Flower Valley, and it's easy to get lost, so I'll ask Fu Xin to send you out. After speaking, Jiang Qihan let go of her, and there was a vague reluctance in his light brown eyes.

Qi Niang finally left the Strange Flower Valley under Jiang Qihan's eyes, and Fu Xin deliberately handed over a medicine bottle to Qi Niang before going back, saying that Jiang Qihan had made it these days, and she took one a day to help her reconcile her internal strength.

"Thank you Pavilion Master for me." Qi Niang held the bottle with mixed feelings and said to Fu Xin.

"What our pavilion master wants to hear is not the thank you of the little seventh girl. He has actually been in the valley for the past few days, and he boiled the medicine he gave to the girl every day, but he expected you to leave when you were healed, so he avoided you. Fu Xin, who has always had nothing to say to Qi Niang, said a few more words.

Qi Niang lowered her eyes, not knowing what to say. For Jiang Qihan, she is not unmoved, when she learned that Jiang Qihan used blood to lure Gu for herself and endured the unbearable pain of Gu inducement for ordinary people, she had a strange affection for Jiang Qihan, but unfortunately she already had someone else in her heart, and she couldn't pretend to be a second person anymore.

It's just been away for a month, Qi Niang has completely lost any news of Qianji Building, what is the situation of Bian Che and Bai Yuying after that day in Tianluo Mountain, what happened this month, Qi Niang doesn't know anything. When she was halfway back, the forest of death outside the Thousand Machine Building was already surrounded by a group of people in armor, led by Yeluya, who had disappeared for a long time. He was dressed in a golden robe, stepped on white boots, and looked at the Qianji Tower in front of him with a gloomy face, and there was bitter hatred in his eyes.

"Let's go!" He spat out a word coldly.

Then, a group of people followed him to the Thousand Machine Building.

Ye Jiu stood on the tower of the Thousand Machine Tower, glanced at it and left in a hurry. When he came to the council hall, he hurriedly announced to Bian Che: "Landlord, Yeluya is here again." ”

Bian Che was a little absent-minded, and said after a while: "...... In vain. ”

"Do you want to go down and kill him?"

"No, he is Xiao Qi's younger brother, kill him, Xiao Qi will hate me. Just let him come. Bian Che turned his back, his tone full of exhaustion.

A trace of worry and melancholy flashed on Ye Jiu's face, "But if he is so nonsense, if he enters the city gate, I am afraid that it will threaten the safety of the landlord." ”

"If he wants to kill me, he'll kill me." Bian Che didn't care much.

"Landlord!" Ye Jiu's eyes widened suddenly, and his voice was much higher.

Bian Che turned around and looked at Ye Jiudao: "Don't be nervous, he can't kill me." Xiao Qi hasn't been found yet, how could I die without seeing her. ”

Ye Jiu's expression suddenly felt a little sad, he went to Tianluo Mountain to look for it countless times, and even removed the stones in the cave, but he still did not find any trace of Qi Niang, and the people sent to find it all said that Qi Niang would have died, and he still believed that Qi Niang was still alive. Even if everyone gave up, he would keep looking for it. It's like this himself, let alone Bian Che.

"Come with me out and see." Bian Che said suddenly.

Yeluya saw Bian Che walking out of the city gate, and extreme anger suddenly rose in his pupils, and he attacked Bian Che with his bare hands. The two palms struck, and the red mist suddenly appeared, and both of them took a few steps back.

Bian Che smiled at him casually: "You are worthy of being a disciple of the ghost-eyed immortal doctor Wei Shaoqing, you have made great progress in your internal strength, but you want to compete with me, it's still early." ”

Yeluya attacked again, a pair of eyes narrowed sharply, and roared angrily: "Qi Niang died because of you, why can you still be so indifferent!" Is your heart made of iron!? Give her back to me! Give it back! ”

Bian Che squinted his eyes, looking very displeased, "Give it back to you?" Qi Niang is my subordinate, life is my person, death is my ghost, how can I give you back! As he spoke, he made a few cruel moves at Yeluya, forcing him back a few feet away.

"I've been in a very irritable mood lately, and I don't have the heart to fight you, if you come again, there will be no return next time." Bian Che glanced at him sideways, and said coldly: "Ye Jiu, send off!" ”

"Stop!" Yeluya rushed up, but was stopped by a palm wind, only to see Ye Jiu suddenly standing in front of him.

Ye Jiu warned him word by word: "Don't take a step further." ”

"You're still trying to stop me?" Yeluya sneered, then threw a punch without hesitation.

The two of them unleashed their most powerful punches without giving in to each other, as if venting their anger.

Bian Che glanced back and said expressionlessly, "Ye Jiu, don't kill him." ”
