Chapter 80: Return to the Phantom Pavilion again
The Phantom Pavilion gradually disappeared into the layers of scattered mist under the darkening sky, and sank into the unique silence of the desert. It seemed that it had been a long time since he had killed, and Jin Se could feel a kind of silence from here that he had not seen for a long time. However, although it was quiet, it was also a little less reassuring.
I don't know why, after a long time, Jin Se re-entered this dark building hidden in the cliff, and there was still an inexplicable feeling in his heart. Before entering here, although she was apprehensive about the pursuers chasing her and Xuan Ming, she was not uneasy, but after entering the Phantom Pavilion, her whole body seemed to be surrounded by a long-dormant dead air, as if it only took a moment for her self, who had only been released by her not long ago, to return to Jin Se in the Phantom Pavilion.
Cold-blooded, sensible, and even unapproachable. This is what Jin Se said about himself earlier.
Stepping on the spiraling wooden ladder in the Phantom Pavilion, the old wood was trampled and made a low sound, like the bursts of ** made by a dying patient. Jin Se held Xuan Ming's hand and walked step by step to their room at the top.
I don't know why, Jin Se can clearly feel that Xuan Ming has also undergone a strange transformation after entering the Phantom Pavilion, just like her, she feels that the cold-blooded Xuan Ming from before has returned to his side, although his fingers are still entwined with Jin Se's, but Jin Se still feels a chill from the palm of his hand.
When Jin Se and Xuan Ming went up to the fourth floor, three little killers dressed in black walked out, and when they saw Xuan Ming and Xuan Se, they immediately stopped and stood at the top of the stairs with their heads bowed. When Jin Se saw a few of them, he was shocked, and immediately withdrew the hand that was held in his hand by Xuan Ming. When Jin Se and Xuan Ming passed by those little killers, they suddenly straightened up and saluted Xuan Ming and Jin Se in a low voice:
"Senior brother, second senior sister."
Jin Se and Xuan Ming nodded lightly as if they had nothing to do, and Xuan Ming let out a cold snort from his nose, just like before. Xuan Ming, who was about to continue going upstairs, suddenly stopped, turned around and asked the little killers:
"Is the Pavilion Master back?" A few little killers were stunned for a moment, and they were a little flustered when they raised their eyes, but they still replied:
"Back to Senior Brother. The Pavilion Master hasn't been back for a long time. When Xuan Ming heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed. I couldn't help but think in my heart, didn't the Pavilion Master know about their departure from the Phantom Pavilion? After thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong, so he continued to ask:
"What suspicious people have appeared near the Phantom Pavilion today?" The three little killers obviously didn't expect Xuan Ming to ask so much, but because of Xuan Ming's status in the Phantom Pavilion, they still returned respectfully:
"Recently, there have been people passing by near the cliffs, but I don't think it's suspicious." Xuan Ming said "um" and went upstairs. Jin Se turned around and glanced at a few little killers:
"You guys go get busy first." After speaking, he went to catch up with Xuan Ming's footsteps.
When Xuan Ming and Jin Se returned to the room, Jin Se suddenly thought of what Xuan Ming asked those little killers, and suddenly felt curious, so he asked like Xuan Ming:
"Why did you suddenly think to ask those little killers?" Xuan Ming turned around and glanced at Jin Se, while tearing off the dirty clothes wrapped around his body:
"I just thought that the eldest prince wouldn't let us go so easily. Also, don't you think it's strange? Xuan Ming turned to face Jin Se bare-chested, he obviously didn't realize that he was naked, looking very natural, but Jin Se was a little uncomfortable, although he had been lying on the same bed before, but the two of them were not husband and wife, now Xuan Ming is so generous, Jin Se was a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly got up and went to Xuan Ming's wardrobe to get a piece of clothing to put on him, and then asked:
"What's weird?" Xuan Ming's brows furrowed again, making Jin Se very uncomfortable, and a feeling of uneasiness invaded her heart, and there was a faint feeling of panic. Xuan meditated for a while, and while buttoning up his clothes, he sat down on his bed:
"Those boys just now said that the pavilion master hasn't come back for a long time, which seems a little unreasonable." Jin Se listened, and also sat down next to Xuan Ming, and thought for a while before saying:
"You mean, the Pavilion Master didn't notice that you and I had left the Phantom Pavilion at all?" Xuan Ming looked at Jin Se and nodded:
"Quite possibly. In this way, the Phantom Pavilion has been in a state of no one to manage for nearly four months, so thinking about it, this is basically consistent with the time when Shangguan Hong was arrested. Jin Se listened, and was suddenly startled;
"You mean•••••• Shangguan Hong is the pavilion master?" Xuan Ming's expression did not change much, but there was still a trace of something else flashing in his eyes, and this subtle change was seen by Jin Se, who suddenly felt that his words were inappropriate, and hurriedly stopped talking. Xuan Ming seemed to see Jin Se's thoughts, pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, and reached out to hold Jin Se's hand:
"Don't think about it that much. Thinking that your and my whereabouts were discovered by the eldest prince, Shangguan Hong may have gone to Huangquan now. Xuan Ming suddenly paused, and a wry smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. Jin Se suddenly felt distressed, she didn't know how to comfort Xuan Ming, so she could only hold his hand hard. Xuan Ming suddenly seemed to put aside the strong sense of sadness, and pondered:
"If it is really as you and I think, the pavilion master is Shangguan Hong, presumably this Phantom Pavilion is also a matter of day and night. The eldest prince is now in control, and he has always done things without leakage, and he will never leave any trouble. Either way, I'll do my best to protect you. ”
This sentence, Jin Se said that there seemed to be a warm current in his heart, in fact, it was all because of her, if she didn't have to chase Xuan Ming out, there would be no many things in the future, Jin Se suddenly didn't know what to say. originally thought that after this matter was over, she and Xuan Ming would go back to the countryside to get married, but she never thought about it, if she had known about it•••••
How can the things of this world be known in advance? If you knew it earlier, it would be the source of making people uncomfortable in the future, so it's better not to think about it.
