The water was a little cold, but not unbearable. Considering that there were no clothes to change, An Ruyue thought about scrubbing the shameful stain on her clothes first and putting them on.

But Qingci disagreed, saying that wearing wet clothes was not good for the body.

After a long dispute between the two, the result was that An Ruyue and others were directly thrown into the stream by Qing Ci with their clothes and washed together. The wet clothes were clinging to the woman's body, and Qing Ci was dry again, and she almost pressed An Ruyue down in broad daylight to love her.

Just when the two were frolicking in the stream under the pretext of bathing, Hua Chengcheng and Cang Wunian had already found the cave where they had a spring night.

"Brother Wunian, do you see if there is a cave there?" said excitedly, pointing not far in front of him.

Cang Wunian looked at her hand, and sure enough, he saw a cave hidden among the low branches and leaves.

"Let's go, go over and have a look. Cang Wunian took the hand of the painting Allure and ran to the entrance of the cave in a few steps.

Looking into the cave, a fire with no flames but a faint white smoke came into view, and not far from the fire there was a field of withered grass.

The two men looked at each other, flashed in, and soon found a bamboo knot holding water, a few wild fruits, and a branch with two roasted birds on it.

"Looks like we're a step late, and we don't know who lived here before. Hua Chengcheng looked at the fire on the ground that was still emitting white smoke and sighed softly.

Cang Wunian walked to the edge of the haystack, picked up the branch with the two roast birds on it, and after observing it carefully, he frowned and said, "I'm afraid, it's really them." ”

"What does Brother Wunian mean that Sister Qingci and Sister Ruyue were here before?" asked Hua Chengcheng suspiciously. Although she instinctively thought that it was them, she was afraid that she would inevitably be overjoyed if she came to a conclusion in her heart so early and finally found out that it was not them. But how does Cang Wunian judge?

Cang Wunian smiled, stretched out the branch in his hand in front of her, and said, "That girl used to like to make this when she slept with me in the wilderness, she didn't like to eat the heads and claws of these birds, and she had to remove them every time. Roasting it so well is also like her style. Most importantly, I felt a special aura in this cave, and if it was her, maybe ......"

Seeing that Cang Wunian suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, painting Allure was a little confused, why didn't she feel any special aura? She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Maybe what's wrong?"

Cang Wunian rubbed his eyebrows, "It's nothing, let's just wait here, if it's really them, there must be injuries on both of them, and they will definitely not leave this sheltered place until they are healed." ”

Painting Allure pursed his lips dissatisfiedly, secretly slandering Cang Wunian when he became so mysterious, and half of his words tickled people's hearts.

What Cang Wunian didn't say was that he smelled a breath left over from the love of men and women in this cave, although he had never experienced the wind and moon like the painting Allure, but he was different from her in that he had survived in almost all kinds of environments in the human world in the past ten years.

For such a smell, he is naturally able to make a judgment quickly, unlike the painting Allure, even if he can smell it, he must not know what the smell is.

After tossing in the stream for more than half an hour, An Ruyue and Qing Ci finally washed themselves almost. However, An Ruyue's clothes were already soaked and couldn't be worn for the time being, so Qing Ci got his wish and put his coat on her body, while he himself took An Ruyue's hand in a shirt and bounced back to the cave.

Just as the two were arguing and preparing to enter the cave, Qing Ci's gaze suddenly froze, and he quickly squatted down and hid in the bushes by holding An Ruyue's shoulder.

"What's wrong?" An Ruyue was startled at first, and hurriedly lowered her voice and asked.

"Someone. Qing Ci frowned, but his eyes were fixed on the cave, eager to see the situation inside.

At the same time, Cang Wunian's face in the cave also sank suddenly, and he whispered to the painting Allure, "Someone is coming." ”

Then he grabbed the hand of the painting Allure and ran to the entrance of the cave in a flash.

Almost at the moment when Cang Wunian got up, Qing Ci's face instantly turned cold, and he pulled An Ruyue and turned around and ran.

But it's a pity that he not only has injuries in his body now, but also the poison that suppresses mana has not been solved, and he can't use mana at all, and he pulled An Ruyue before he ran a few steps before he was blocked by someone from the cave.

After seeing the person who came, Qing Ci's heart instantly tightened, and An Ruyue was happy at first, but after feeling Qing Ci's emotions, her heart also rose.

"Sister Ruyue, Qingci, it's really you!" When Hua Chengcheng saw them, he was overjoyed and wanted to step forward to pull Ruyue's hand.

But Cang Wunian gently raised his hand and grabbed her arm, stared at An Ruyue and said lightly: "Ruyue, you come here." ”

Looking at Cang Wunian's expressionless face, An Ruyue's heart suddenly surged with a sense of fear, she hurriedly protected Qingci behind her, and said in an anxious tone: "Little prince, I'm sorry, Ruyue can't live without him, beg the little prince to let us live for the sake of Ruyue who has served you wholeheartedly for so many years!"

"So, you're going to betray me for him?" Cang Wunian was still expressionless, and his tone was calm and cold.

She was about to speak, but she felt Cang Wunian holding her hand and squeezing it slightly, as if to suggest that she should not be silent.

And An Ruyue saw Cang Wunian's expression at this time, and heard the cold words in his mouth, her heart suddenly pinched. She never thought of betraying Cang Wunian, even if she was crushed, she couldn't betray him.

But now Cang Wunian seems to have sentenced Qing Ci to death, and determined that he was plotting against them from the beginning. And if she chooses to protect Qingci, it means that she will betray Cang Wunian.

An Ruyue wanted to know why they had become like this, and what kind of sin had she created to put herself in such a dilemma.

Tears slipped from her eyes, and she knelt in front of Cang Wunian with a "poof", choking up: "Little prince, Ruyue has never thought of betraying you. But...... But Qingci is someone I love, and I don't want him to be hurt in any way. Ruyue believes him, he will definitely not frame us, little prince, why don't you give him a chance to explain?"

Seeing that An Ruyue was kneeling for herself, Qing Ci's heart seemed to be hanged by a knife, fortunately, the person she knelt to was Cang Wunian, if she knelt down to someone else, I am afraid that he would not make the other party feel better if he died at this moment.

He wanted to reach out and pull her up, but he had just made a move, but he saw a purple light flash, directly hitting An Ruyue's eyebrows, An Ruyue's crying stopped abruptly, and she fainted immediately.

"Yue'er!" Qing Ci was shocked, and hurriedly leaned down and hugged her into his arms, then he raised his head, stared at Cang Wunian with red eyes and a painful face: "Brother Ah Nian, what are you dissatisfied with coming to me, she has been by your side for so many years, you can bear to treat her like this?"

Cang Wunian looked at them condescendingly, and said in a cold tone: "No matter who it is, betraying me will pay the price." Including An Ruyue. ”

"She didn't betray you, never. Everything is because of me, if I have to pay the price, I am willing to bear it for her!" Qing Ci hugged An Ruyue tightly, his tone was urgent and painful, he couldn't exert his magic power now, he couldn't save An Ruyue, and the powerlessness and humiliation of his childhood came to his heart at this moment.

"You bear it for her?" Cang Wunian squinted at him, his tone a little disdainful.

"Yes, please also ask Brother Ah Nian to give a word, how to let her go. Qing Ci asked solemnly.

Hearing this, Cang Wunian raised his eyebrows slightly, and said quietly: "What if I want you to destroy your foundation?"

"Brother Wunian......" Hearing Cang Wunian's request, Hua Chengcheng couldn't help but be taken aback, and stared at him with wide eyes.

Qing Ci's eyes were also full of consternation, and then a flash of struggle. But he looked at An Ruyue in his arms, and saw that her face was rapidly turning pale, and even faintly blue.

His body trembled slightly, and he closed his eyes weakly.

When he opened his eyes again, there was a determination in his eyes.

Raising his eyes to look at Cang Wunian, Qing Ci said calmly: "Brother Ah Nian, whether you believe it or not, there are still some things I want to say to you." I approached you only when I was entrusted to protect you, and I never did anything against you. As for Su You, I did know him, and he had in his hands something very important in my old life, and I pretended to cooperate with him for that thing.

"Su Yu is actually Chisha's male pet, and Chisha has always wanted to catch you. When he asked me to lurk in the Thousand Machines Pavilion just to find out your whereabouts, I knew at the time that he had his own purpose, and it was impossible for him to hand you over to Akasha, but I really didn't expect that he would want your life.

"Brother Ah Nian, there is not enough time left for you, I always feel that something is about to move, I can't continue to protect you after today, and I hope Brother Ah Nian will cherish it. At last...... Yue'er is a good girl, she is loyal to you, I hope Brother Ah Nian will not be angry with her because of me. ”

"Are you finished?" asked Cang Wunian lightly.

"That's it. Now that my mana is limited, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Brother Ah Nian to do it for me. After finishing speaking, Qing Ci slowly closed his eyes.

Brother Ah Nian, if it weren't for you, there would be no Qing Ci today, and if you want to take back everything from me, I won't complain. It's just that because of such a misunderstanding, I can't fight with you to the end, and I feel sorry......
