Chapter 164: Who Are You?
Cang Wunian's eyes condensed slightly, and he stretched out his hand to paint Allure's face, and gently wiped the corner of her lips with his fingers, "Isn't this the trace you left after feeding me the medicine?"
By the time his fingers touched her lips, the painting had already been a little cramped by this ambiguous gesture. After hearing what Cang Wunian said, her face instantly turned red to the base of her neck, and she lowered her eyes in shame and didn't dare to look at him.
"Allure girl, can you get up?" At this time, An Ruyue's voice sounded outside the door.
Painting a spirit in the city, he hurriedly broke away from Cang Wunian's hand, and responded: "Oh, it's already up, Sister Ruyue come in." ”
The door was pushed open with a "squeak", and as soon as An Ruyue stepped into the room, she saw Cang Wunian sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Little prince, are you awake?" An Ruyue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she trotted in front of him in a few steps, looking up and down.
"Well, it's been an hour since I've been awake. Cang Wunian replied lightly.
"It's good to wake up, yesterday scared the hell out of us. Are you unwell now?" An Ruyue asked with concern as she looked at Cang Wunian's face.
But Cang Wunian didn't pay attention to An Ruyue, but turned his gaze to the painting on the side: "Painting, can you do me a favor?"
"Brother Wunian, please speak. "Painting Allure is clear-minded, and understands that Cang Wunian must have something to explain to An Ruyue alone, so he responded very cooperatively.
"Help me call Qing Ci over, there are some things about Qianji Pavilion, I need to tell him to do it. Cang Wunian said.
"Okay, I'll go. Hua Chengcheng nodded, got up and left the room.
After the painting left Allure, An Ruyue asked puzzledly: "Little prince, why did you take the Allure girl away? Aren't you afraid that she will be sad?"
"Do you think she doesn't know that I let her go on purpose? Cang Wunian said lightly.
"Little Prince, what is it that can't be said in front of the girl in Allure?" An Ruyue asked suspiciously.
"Shouldn't you explain to me about Qingci?" Cang Wunian's face was a little gloomy.
"This ...... Yesterday I waited for a long time and couldn't wait for you, so I went to your room, and found that the house hadn't even been cleaned up, and I guessed there was something wrong with the girl in Allure, so you came alone. It just so happened that Qing Ci came to the house to find you, saying that there were some things that needed to be reported to you in person. I originally just asked casually, but I didn't expect him to really have such strong mana, and he actually took me from Qianji Mountain Villa to the Demon Slaying Sect in the blink of an eye. An Ruyue explained carefully.
"Hua'er said, the medicine I took last night was brought by Qing Ci?" asked Cang Wunian in a deep voice.
"Well, yes. Speaking of which...... I originally saw that the soup of the medicine was very sick, and I was a little hesitant. Now it seems that the scholar is really quite capable. An Ruyue lowered her eyes and said.
"Did he say what the name of that medicine was?" asked Cang Wunian again.
An Ruyue shook her head: "No, he just instructed me to boil the medicinal soup and boil three bowls of water into one bowl, and when it becomes blood red, he can give it to you." ”
Cang Wunian was silent, and after a long time, he asked lightly, "Ruyue, do you think he can be trusted?"
Listening to the thoughtless question, An Ruyue was also silent. They had only known this scholar for three days, but in just three days, this scholar had repeatedly subverted all their impressions of him, and everything he showed did not match his appearance and his files in the Thousand Flowers Building, but they couldn't see through what the purpose of this scholar was.
"I don't know...... But I think he must have no ill will towards the little prince, at least...... Indeed, the medicine he brought had a miraculous effect. An Ruyue pursed her lips and said softly.
"My subordinates have seen the Pavilion Master, Elder Ruyue. As soon as An Ruyue's words fell, the voice of Qingci sounded at the door, and I saw that he was respectfully bowing his hand in the direction of Cang Wunian.
"No need to be polite. Cang Wunian glanced at him lightly, and then asked, "What about the painting?"
"Oh, Miss Allure has gone to inform several seniors in the sect of the news of the pavilion master's awakening. He said that he would come back to bring breakfast to the pavilion master later. Qing Ci replied respectfully.
"Ruyue, you go and guard the door, I have something to talk to him alone. Cang Wunian looked at An Ruyue and said in a low voice.
An Ruyue was slightly stunned, there was something she couldn't know about Qianji Pavilion, but she was also relieved at the same time as she was puzzled, just now she heard Qingci's voice, and she felt that something was wrong all over her body, and she subconsciously wanted to avoid him and didn't want to see him. Now that Cang Wunian has spoken, she just happened to be relaxed.
After An Ruyue left the room, Cang Wunian stood up, and his deep eyes looked back and forth on Qing Ci's body, as if he wanted to peel off his scholarly disguise and see what he looked like in his bones.
After a long time, Cang Wunian said leisurely: "Who are you?"
Qing Ci's face was calm, and he just hugged his fists respectfully: "Subordinate Heavenly Retreat Domain Lord, Qing Ci." ”
It was as if he had expected him to answer like this, but this was not the answer that Cang Wunian wanted. So as soon as Qing Ci's words fell, he saw the bone flute in Cang Wunian's hand with a purple light slashing across his eyes, pointing directly at the center of his eyebrows.
"I'll ask you again, who are you!" Cang Wunian's tone was cold, and he seemed to have lost his patience.
Seeing this, Qing Ci didn't even frown, and his face was still calm: "Subordinate to the Heavenly Retreat Domain Lord, Qing Ci." Although the pavilion master's two souls and seven spirits have recovered, they are still weak, and they hope that the pavilion master will take care of his body and not use his mana. ”
"Has anyone ever told you that if you know too many things you shouldn't know, you'll die quickly. Hearing Qing Ci's "two souls and seven spirits" instead of "three souls and seven spirits", Cang Wunian's face became more gloomy, and his tone became even colder.
"If the Pavilion Master wants to kill me, why wait until now. Qingci is loyal to the pavilion master, and for everything about the pavilion master, Qingci will be tight-lipped even if he dies. Qing Ci said with a solemn face.
"The only thing in this world is the dead. Cang Wunian said coldly.
"How can the pavilion master be willing to believe it?" Qing Ci frowned, should he really want him to learn from death before he would believe him?
"Tell me who you really are. Cang Wunian said lightly.
Sighing, Qing Ci actually knelt down on one knee: "One day the pavilion master will know, but not now." The subordinates are still the same sentence, the subordinates are loyal to the pavilion master, and they will never do anything to betray the pavilion master in this life. ”
Cang Wunian exhaled fiercely, slowly withdrew his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, then you tell me, what is the origin of the medicine I took last night." ”
Qing Ci's face changed: "Yesterday's pavilion master's suit was the 'Thousand Days Red'. ”
"It seems that you are investigating me behind my back. This 'Thousand Days Red', I'm afraid you've been prepared for a long time, right?" Cang Wunian narrowed his eyes, and his tone revealed danger.
"The subordinates only saw that the pavilion master's soul was injured before, but there was no soul awakening in the pavilion body, and it was only when this demon slaying sect found out. Please forgive my subordinates for bluntly saying that the sooner the pavilion master's soul is reshaped, the better, and if it continues like this, I'm afraid it will ......" Qing Ci did not continue to finish, because when Cang Wunian heard the latter half of his words, he had already raised his hand, and a palm force attacked him mercilessly.
He could have dodged it, but in the end, he slapped him alive and in the spot. He knew that Cang Wunian didn't trust him yet, after all, he really hadn't shown anything worthy of others' trust from the beginning. If receiving this palm can reduce Cang Wunian's wariness of him a little, he feels that this palm is still worth it.
This palm slapped on Qing Ci's right shoulder, and there was a sound of bones shattering. Cang Wunian was also slightly stunned, he didn't expect that he didn't use his internal strength or mana, so he knelt on one knee and took his blow without dodging or dodging.
An Ruyue, who was guarding outside the house, heard the movement inside the house, and couldn't help but push the door and break in, and saw Qing Ci's face pale and his expression a little painful. Her heart couldn't help but tighten, and she hurriedly withdrew her gaze, and said to Cang Wunian: "Little prince, what's wrong with you?"
"Who let you in?" Cang Wunian glanced at her and said in a deep voice.
"I just heard movement in the house outside, I thought ......" An Ruyue didn't continue, because she thought that it was Qingci who wanted to be unfavorable to Cang Wunian. Although she knew that Qing Ci had no reason to do this, if it was to be detrimental to Cang Wunian, he didn't have to take out that magical herb to help Cang Wunian. But whenever it came to Cang Wunian's safety, it still made her instinctively nervous.
Qing Ci hung his head and removed the mockery in his eyes, maybe the woman who would believe in him unconditionally in this world was the only one he cared about in his life.
Cang Wunian didn't pay attention to An Ruyue anymore, but said to Qing Ci: "So, you also know the identity of the painting?"
"My subordinates don't know, they just have a guess. For a long time, apart from Elder Ruyue, there had never been any other woman around the pavilion master. The woman who can make the pavilion master pay so much attention will definitely not be an ordinary person. That's why his subordinates boldly speculated that painting Allure City would definitely help the Pavilion Master rebuild the lost soul. The aura of Qingci was slightly messy, but the words were still sonorous.
"You're right, painting can really help me rebuild my soul. But what she has to pay for this is not what I want to see. The painter is kind by nature and ignorant of the world. If I could, I'd rather she do it for the rest of her life. Cang Wunian sighed, Xu remembered the matter of painting the soul, and his heart couldn't help but sink.
"But has the Pavilion Master ever thought that if she didn't reshape her soul, what would she do with the soul in her body?"
