Volume 1: Huangquan December Chapter 127: Borrowing a knife to kill
"Why......"
"She knows too much, don't kill...... No way. Mu Xue is good at everything, but she is too smart and will not pretend to be stupid...... And you would have been irrelevant. If you go to the ends of the earth, as long as you don't come back, everything we can do can maintain the appearance of brothers, friends and brothers. But now I can't do it anymore - so it's your fault, you know? β
She never knew that the senior brother she admired could say these words so brazenly and casually.
What is the meaning of the love that has been accompanied day and night for ten years...... What defeated me?
Hatred?
Could it be ...... He got it? I knew that I was the orphan of the enemy of the suzerain, this matter.
- Since when?
The huge amount of information is like a flood that bursts the embankment, washing, rushing, and detouring in Mu Wan's mind, as if all rationality is to be washed away. She didn't know what she should say, what she could say, and what she had a position to say. She didn't have the courage and strength to aim her weapon at her brother. At this moment, she felt that she had nothing and had lost everything.
Or nothing.
ββ¦β¦ Where are they? After a while, she said this sentence in a trance.
He laughed but didn't answer.
Xie Huayu felt that they seemed to have gone a little too far.
Although the original intention of the two of them was to take Wu Yuangui to a remote place, not to let him pay attention to Mu Wan's whereabouts. Therefore, the two of them deliberately led him, pretending to go away unconsciously. Wu Yuangui felt that it didn't matter, and followed the two of them while chatting, and before he knew it, he had walked a long way. When I came to the forest, there was no one nearby.
Xie Hualing interrupted the conversation between her sister and her senior brother, and looked around with some concern.
"Are we ...... Gone a little far? β
It was so quiet in the woods, unusually quiet. There are many creatures in the Snow Yan Valley, and there are always many birds and beasts inhabiting here on weekdays. But there was no movement at all, as if they were all hiding.
Wrong.
Xie Huayu bent down, took her hand and asked, "Is Ah Ling tired of walking?" β
Ah Ling frowned and shook his head slightly.
- Something seems to be wrong.
- Why?
Although the sisters have not been together for many years, there is still some tacit understanding between their eyes over the years.
In the distance, there were a few sparse bird calls, and the sound was a little strange. It was far away, but it was hoarse, not like a frightened predator, it was justβvery strange. Ordinary birds would never call like that.
She suddenly reached out and grabbed Xie Huayu's arm and pulled her down, Xie Huayu lost her center of gravity and almost fell. She screamed and was hugged by Xie Hualing.
"Suddenly...... What's wrong? β
She found that Ah Ling glared at Wu Yuangui viciously.
Xie Huayu looked over in confusion and found that Senior Brother Wu's eyes were subtle. He narrowed his eyes, a slight cold glow in his black eyes. At this time, she also noticed that an ominous aura began to emanate from him.
It's demonic.
"You're not far away!"
Seeing that the monster didn't plan to continue in disguise, she bluntly pierced him. Xie Huayu pulled out her arm and hugged her sister tightly, and touched the handle of the umbrella with her other hand. "Who are you!"
"Hmm...... Did you hear the bird's complaint? β
The voice of "Wu Yuangui" has changed, and it has become another person's voice, which is still a male tone. His eyes were still as dark and bright as they were, but his black hair had faded into a bright brownish chestnut. The outfit unique to the Snow Yan Sect also changed, with a fine phosphorescence on it.
"You...... It's the ...... next to him."
He smiled politely.
"In Xia Shejiu, I have heard the name of the girl for a long time."
"Why did you become like him? You guys...... What the hell did you do? β
She Jiu scratched his head, raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't look like I've done some heinous crime?" I didn't do anything, but told him after you had dinner and talked last night...... The window that shouldn't have been lit up with a light that shouldn't have been lit. β
"You're his Shikigami?" Xie Hualing hugged her sister's waist and looked at him with some suspicion.
"You guessed it wrong. In my life, I will only be loyal to one master, but I am definitely not your senior brother. β
Xie Huayu looked at him vigilantly and took his sister behind him.
"Don't you instruct us to deceive our disciples......"
"Really?" He frowned, "Me? Bewitch? You think so much of me. Don't look like victims...... Where did you go when his entire family was killed by your sect master? Don't you still shake the rattle and run around the house wearing pee, right? β
"You-you, you know about him......" Xie Huayu looked worried, "that is, he also knows ......"
"So what's not? How long do you want to hide it from him? It's really interesting, why don't you feel pitiful that he has been deceived by you gangs up to now? It's disgusting. β
"The matter of the Snow Yan Sect, it is not your turn for an outsider to interfere!"
"Outsiders? I'm not happy that you think I'm an outsider. I grew up with himβwhat about you? What kind of bunch are you? β
Xie Huayu didn't expect that if what She Jiu said was true...... It's really creepy. A monster has lived with a human for so long, and I don't know how many slanders it has said. After losing his parents, will he trust a youkai who grew up with him, or a group of ...... The disciples of the wicked who murdered their relatives?
Even though they are the same door.
Their intuition was right, Wu Yuangui did have a problem. It's just that she didn't expect it to be such a big problem. Then since Wu Yuangui, who went downstairs, is not a real senior brother, that is to say...... He's still there.
The little sister is in danger.
"What the hell is going on with them?!" Mu Wan shouted again.
"Oh my God, little junior sister, compared to the two side disciples, you even shouted at the senior brother who grew up with you since childhood, it's amazing, give you a pair of wings and you can still go to heaven." Wu Yuangui was stunned, shaking his head and sighing.
No...... Calm down and don't be too impulsive, impulsiveness always doesn't end well. What's more, aren't they still outside in the mountains and seas? It's not going to be a big deal.
Mu Wan took a deep breath, and his eyes became like a wolf. She never seemed to be so fierce β or rather, so fierce to her so-called "own people." But she can't help it, it's better to say that she's more like a hedgehog, trying to erect all the sharp blades to wrap up her real and soft self - even then, it's a hedgehog in a cage.
"You killed Yan Muxue."
"Don't say that, the person who killed her was an assassin surnamed Don, how could it be me?"
ββ¦β¦ Oh, did you stab someone to death and say that it was the knife that killed the person, not you? β
"Hmm...... That's right. β
"Wu Yuanhui." She was still staring into his eyes, "I misjudged you. β
"Joke, when did I beg you to look at me right?"
"From ...... When does it start? Mu Wan asked suddenly.
Wu Yuangui didn't seem to understand: "What? β
"When did you start...... Know, own business? β
"Oh." He sneered, "Even you know about it, and you still want to hide it from me." As for when...... Yes, of course, from the beginning. β
"...... at the beginning"
"Have you heard of the Shadow Pavilion?"
"Yes."
"Omniscient, powerful, insight into heaven and earth...... That's something I've known since I was a kid. Because the one who was willing to help me at that time was the Pavilion Master of the Shadow Pavilion. He told me the truth of the matter and gave evidence. It is because of him that I can always remember this fiery hatred, and not be deceived by hypocritical peach and plum love, and be diluted by the so-called same-mindedness. β
Mu Wan felt a little incredible.
"It's been almost twenty years! Could it be that we, Master, don't have a day, a single thing, that you are touched a little bit? Are you such a cold-blooded person? Don't you say that we, the others, the respect for you, the affection for you, those are also fake? Do you have a heart or not? β
"Don't blame me......" he sighed softly, as if he had been wronged, "you know what? When he first told me about this, it was also a night. I'm young, no bigger than when you started. I was shivering alone in such a cold thunderstorm that day, and the monster suddenly came out and told me these things...... I thought he was scaring me, but he didn't. I really hated him at first, but no matter how good Master was to me after that, I thought it was okay. Later, I realized that the voice that kept reminding me in the darkness was actually me. Do you understand? I've long since become myselfβ"
"I'm not interested in hearing about your past, and I won't make it difficult for you," Mu Wan said calmly, "I only know that you killed Senior Sister Yan." β
Wu Yuangui's eyes were faint, and his tone was also faint.
"You've changed, Muwan. You've grown up. β
"Less nonsense. Captain Rin, they're still nearby, so don't you want to act rashly. If I hurt them in the slightest......"
"Oh? That Taoist priest and little medicine boy? I had already said hello, and when the disciples who were patrolling nearby saw them, they asked them to go back to their residences, and it was best not to go out again. β
"W-you bastard......"
"Shhhhh It's not good to swear. β
"How many more people do you want to harm!"
"Not much. Although it was just a matter of shutting up a person...... Xie Hua and their relatives are not from their own family, and it is not good to learn about their family, so they are expelled from the door; Michicho Rin and his little apprentice are just outsiders. Do you understand? No one in this argument will have an accident, as long as the source of the matter is willing to make some sacrifices. β
"Kill them all, huh? You want your sister's life, and now you want mine? β
"It would be great if the least loss could be exchanged for the greatest peace. Running a sect is no different from running a business, and that's what that friend taught me. You see, if she doesn't care about her affairs, she can only sacrifice the head of the house in exchange for the peace of my life...... And the entire Snow Yan Sect is still thriving today, isn't it? Mu Wan, it's not who leaves who in this world, and where there is no one, they won't turnβ"
Before he could finish his words, Mu Wan's umbrella sword slashed from the bottom up, and he deftly stepped back, drawing the sword at his waist to block the next blow. Then, he knocked over an empty teacup on the side of the desk, and with the sound of broken porcelain, four or five people broke into the door.
They were all dressed in the costumes of the Snow Yan Sect, but Mu Wan didn't feel any familiar.
"A vain attempt to assassinate the acting head...... Take. Just then, invite her to her new room and see if she likes it. β
Wu Yuangui patted his sleeve.
Several people rushed up and immediately subdued Mu Wan, she struggled frantically, but the umbrella was taken away. She could have resisted, but she lost the best opportunity because of a momentary stunned.
Because at that time, one of them told Wu Yuangui something.
"Xie Hua's snake venom is in his body, how to be a good ......"
"Yan Muxue's house will be lent to them firstβdon't let that little one run away. What about the master? β
"Master, he'...... Uh, also injured. β
"The little girl is quite capable of fighting."
After that, he glanced coldly at Mu Wan, who was escorted away. The latter returned the salute with the same sharp looks.
But the rumor sister ......
