Chapter 54: On the eve of the duel
"I promise you."
Guan Yeluo thought for a while and nodded.
"Done."
Zhiyan smiled happily.
"But I'm curious what kind of treasure it is, and it actually has this ability to limit Wang Yuanlai."
Guan Yeluo frowned, and asked with a puzzled expression.
"Secret, if you say it, it's not a secret."
Seeing that he didn't plan to say anything, Guan Yeluo didn't force him, and made a gesture of treating.
Zhiyan didn't want to stay longer, he still had a lot of books in the library that he hadn't finished reading, so he made a farewell ceremony and left in a hurry.
……
Zhiyan left Guan Yeluo, did not go to other places to stay, and went back to the library directly.
As soon as Zhiyan entered the library pavilion, he saw Zhu Yan, but Zhu Yan was obviously in a bad mood at this time, and he was drinking alone.
"Well, your kid is back, come, it just so happens that I have one less person to drink, you come here."
Zhu Yan was obviously a little drunk, insisting that he didn't know how much he had drunk, he wanted to refuse, but when it came to Zhu Yan's strength, he could obviously control the spiritual power in the surrounding area, and Zhiyan felt that he was pushed by a force behind him, and staggered to the seat opposite Zhu Yan and sat down.
"You kid, you are still so hesitant when I invite you to drink, are you afraid that I will be poisoned, not at all, drink."
There was no way to insist on it, so he had to take the wine handed over by Zhu Yan, twisted his expression, swallowed it in one gulp, and instantly a spicy sensation poured out of his esophagus, choking and coughing, this wine was too strong.
"Hey, you kid, this wine is older than me, I am reluctant to drink more, every time I drink it is to taste it slowly, you pour it well, and you are bored, fortunately, your kid is not bad at drinking, he is not drunk, otherwise I will throw you out to sleep on the street."
Zhu Wei blushed and teased.
The spiciness in his mouth has not faded, and he can't say anything, so he can only let Zhu Yan make fun of him, and he can't respond a word.
Zhu Yan felt that it was not interesting to tease the insistence that he couldn't fight back, and he didn't care about the reaction of the other side, and said to himself.
"Boy, to be honest, I didn't like you when I first met you, both in public and private. I don't care where you're from or why you're here, I just know that your presence has ruined the stability of this sect, and that's what I hate the most. ”
"Smack", Zhu Yan arranged the wine glasses on the table, raised his tone and continued.
"Actually, I single-handedly planned the incident of Guan Zhizhi, including why he reversed his decision and came to you again to duel."
As soon as Zhiyan heard this, he stood up suddenly, although his mouth couldn't make a sound, but the faint flash of fire in his eyes showed his anger at this time.
"It's normal that you'll react, no one wants their lives to be plotted by others, and I'm the same, and even if I know that someone is plotting to harm me, I will definitely make him pay the same price."
At this time, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait!"
Zhu Yan pointed a finger, and he felt the pressure around him increase sharply, making him unable to take a step forward.
"But no one can leave without listening to me."
Zhu Yan took his wine jug, walked in front of the suppressed Zhiyan, raised the wine jug, took a sip, and his voice with the smell of wine sounded again.
"I guess you thought that Wang Yuanlai planned this matter, but in fact, it was right, Guan Zhizhi and I took a threat, and Wang Yuanlai asked for his own cooperation. But that's all in the past, and I regret it. ”
Zhiyan's eyes widened, and there was doubt in his eyes.
"Do you want to know why I regret it again? Forget it, I won't hide it with you anymore, in fact, I saw the portrait of the hidden dragon in Guan Zhizhi's study, but at that time I thought it was his maid, I think you have seen it today. ”
Zhiyan nodded, he did not deny Zhu Yan's words.
Zhu Yan saw that he was affirmed, and continued to speak: "I am the steward of the library pavilion, I know what books the disciples have read here, of course Guan Yizhi can't hide any fetishes from me, but I was misled by his reading of books, thinking that he wanted to be the kind of romantic son who flies with the maids at home, but after I saw the face of the hidden dragon at the entrance of the cave, I realized that I was wrong, and I also understood why Guan Zhizhi could be threatened by me so easily, and I also understood the meaning of the smile when he died." ”
Zhiyan struggled with his body, and suddenly the pressure confinement disappeared, and Zhiyan had an unstable center of gravity, and he didn't stand still, and his buttocks, which had already fallen once, came into close contact with the ground again.
But this time, Zhiyan didn't care about the pain in his buttocks, and his attention was all on Zhu Yan who knelt in one direction in front of him, and Zhiyan knew that it was Guan Zhizhi's residence.
"I know that this kneeling can't make up for anything, Guan Zhizhi is a good man, he would rather die himself than keep the secret for the safety of his beloved. I admired him, and I hated myself, so when Qianlong was suppressed by the sect master, I went up to help her, and I understood that this was the only compensation I could do. ”
"What's the use of you talking about this now!"
The voice of the assertive voice recovered a little, and he could barely make a hoarse sound.
"I know it's useless, maybe only if I die can I understand this grudge."
"Then you're going to die!"
Zhiyan yelled, not caring about his voice at all, he was really angry.
"If I can really die so easily, that's fine, but in this way, maybe the real murderer will never be caught, and the revenge of the two of them will not be avenged."
Zhu Yan said this with his back to the words, and he didn't see an inexplicable smile on the corner of Zhu Yan's mouth when he finished speaking.
Zhiyan was really stimulated by this passage, and regardless of the strength gap between himself and Zhu Yan, he strode directly in front of Zhu Yan, tugging on Zhu Yan's collar, lowering his head, and staring directly at Zhu Yan with bloodshot eyes, with a killing intent that he didn't know.
"Say! Who is that murderer. ”
Zhu Yan was dragged, not angry, and looked at Zhiyan calmly.
"Aren't you wondering, who brought you to this world, as long as you can figure this out, maybe you can find the answer, and you are the key to find the person behind the scenes."
At this time, Zhiyan let go of Zhu Yan, leaned against the wall, his figure revealed a trace of decadence, and he was silent for a long time before speaking.
"I understand, that's fine, my life is owed to her, so let's do what you think, Elder."
After speaking, he walked up the steps with a desolate back stretched by the candlelight, and with each step, his shadow decreased a little, until the whole person disappeared at the entrance of the stairway, and his shadow disappeared completely.
Zhu Yan looked at the insistence who had understood his deep meaning, and felt a sense of guilt for a while, he lied to the insistence, he had never felt guilty about Guan Zhizhi and Qianlong, everything he did was for the sect he loved, this was his home, and he did not allow anyone to destroy the peace here.
And the only way to find out who is behind the scenes is to insist that he must die.
