Chapter 61: Containment
When a bone-chilling chill suddenly appeared on the left side, Xie Qingning instinctively flew back, and in her slightly open eyes, a thin black figure slowly walked out from behind the grape trellis in the courtyard, and the cold sword in her hand pointed directly at her chest.
I haven't seen him for a few days, Ye Chong's face is paler than before, his body is thinner, and there is a cold air hidden in his sunken eyes, which is completely different from his previous demeanor.
He seems to have changed as a different person, if he looked high-spirited and heroic in the past, then today he feels only gloomy and indifferent, like a devil who came out of the darkness, and there is a gloomy smell all over his body.
"Ye weight?" Xie Qingning raised his eyebrows, only then did he realize that the kite and the rain guarding the door were gone, and he said slightly in his heart, "Why are you here?" What about my handmaiden? What did you do to them? ”
Ye Zhong looked at her coldly, and replied to her without the slightest deviation from the blade, "Just two maidservants, I don't care about doing it yet, it's just a moment of sleep." ”
Hearing this, Xie Qingning breathed a sigh of relief, but asked curiously, "Didn't you hear that the ancestral hall was opened today to allow me to return to the Xie family tree and prove my identity?" ”
"How could I not know!" Ye Zhong snorted lightly, "But so what? Could it be that if you return to the family tree, Xie Zhongshu will treat you as a descendant of the same line? ”
Xie Qingning smiled, "It turns out that Senior Brother Ye is also sensible, and he is not hopeless." ”
"I came to you today, just to ask you, the last time I attacked me to steal the antidote, was it you?" Ye Chong narrowed his eyes, and the cold in his eyes was even worse.
Xie Qingning couldn't help but touch his nose and asked, "What about me, what if it's not me?" ”
"If it were you, I would kill you today, and if not, I would kill you today."
"Oh? Aren't you afraid of being noticed? Kill the rightful Miss Xie family, and you will be expelled from the Xie Mansion. Xie Qingning told the truth very casually, but he didn't let Ye Chong hesitate, and he didn't know what confidence he had to be able to kill himself, could he use the Ye family's hole cards? This made her very curious, and the ink eyes in the slightly open phoenix eyes flowed, which looked particularly smart.
Ye Zhong looked at such a flawless beautiful girl like an enamel doll, and somewhere in his heart was a little uncontrollably itchy, but he understood that from today onwards, he would no longer have the qualifications to climb the other party, after all, Xie Qingning is now the seventh lady of the Xie family, even if it is just a granddaughter, after all, she followed the surname "Xie" and entered the Xie family tree, and from then on she was a member of the Xie family, and had nothing to do with her father's lineage.
And what is he? Even if he is the chief disciple of Xie Zhongshu, after all, his surname is Ye and not Xie, and what flows in his body is not the blood of the Xie family, so it is impossible to get the trust and support of his whole body and mind.
Especially since his junior sister Xie Huayan detoxified, he has been very distant from him, as if he was some kind of flood beast.
Ye Chong had tried it several times, Xie Huayan didn't seem to know that the person who poisoned him was him, but after experiencing such a life and death threshold, her temperament changed greatly, and she was no longer as arrogant and rude as before, and she spent most of her time cultivating, and she had a faint feeling of enlightenment.
This made Ye Chong deeply uneasy, he wasn't sure if Xie Huayan was only alienated from himself or everyone, did she really plan to concentrate on cultivation from now on or perfunctory him and hide him, just because she suspected that the poisoning had something to do with him?
Today, he didn't mean to come to encircle Xie Qingning, he was just snubbed at the banquet that Xie Shifu participated in, and he was very unhappy in his heart before he walked out, and approached this courtyard in all directions, and saw the kither and smoke and rain hiding at the door of the fan-shaped courtyard from a distance, sneaking and whispering, which made him suspicious.
Fortunately, when Ye Zhong approached the small courtyard, Nanshan Xiao just left, and when he saw that Elder Keqing, who was always pretending to be some kind of worldly master, was also here, he felt a wave of anger in his heart for no reason.
No wonder Xie Qingning treated himself so coldly, could it be that he had climbed up to this elder?
Ye Chong's head swelled with an indescribable emotion, after all, in his opinion, even if he was not a member of the Xie family, he was a little more noble than Nanshan Xiao's status, right? What's more, he's younger and more promising, isn't he?
Because of this nameless anger, Ye Chong attacked Xie Qingning without thinking, and released such cruel words, in fact, he didn't decide in his heart whether he really wanted to kill her, he just tried to make the other party scared and frightened.
Of course, Xie Qingning can feel whether the other party has killing intent in his heart, but she doesn't think that she should waste time on this outsider, so she just wants to fight quickly, let him retreat from the difficulties, stay away from herself, and never dare to block her own path again!
At the same time, Xie Qingning also wanted to test whether Ye Chong had other hole cards, she still had a lot of doubts in her heart about the Ye family that was destroyed back then, and she didn't mind snatching other people's hole cards to give herself more help.
So, she nodded very sincerely, "Okay, I admit it, I was the one who attacked you that night, and I took the antidote, but you poisoned me, can't I save myself?" What kind of robber logic are you? ”
Ye Chong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect her to admit it directly, she was ...... Ignoring yourself?
The anger in his heart was even worse, Ye Chong couldn't help but flick his wrist, and the sword flower hit the other party like a silver rainstorm, completely enveloping Xie Qingning's body, making her unavoidable.
"Ye Chong, since you have to be cocooned and self-bound, don't blame me for allowing you!" Xie Qingning sighed, and his figure suddenly disappeared in front of Ye Chong's eyes, making him inexplicably stunned.
