Chapter 168: A Life That Didn't Exist
The moment the courtyard door opened, a strange smell suddenly hit the face.
Di He noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, then turned around and yelled at He Yuyuan: "Poisonous smoke." β
He Yuyuan reacted quickly, almost at the moment when he spoke, he also raised his hand and covered his mouth and nose.
There is nothing strange about the poisonous smoke here, after all, it is a place where important things in the clan are placed, so it is natural to be on guard.
There are demon beasts outside the house, there is poisonous smoke when the door is opened, there is an enchantment in the courtyard, Di He is a little curious now, when they cross the courtyard and come to the door of the house, what will they encounter after pushing the door open.
Although he was curious, he didn't want to go right away, what he needed to face now was poisonous smoke, nothing else.
Originally, he thought that the poisonous smoke would soon dissipate, so he did not temporarily retreat to other places with He Yuyuan, but he had been at the door for a long time, and the poisonous smoke still did not disperse.
Emperor He cast a spell to check it, and when he saw that the poisonous smoke was going to disperse for a while, he directly turned around and pulled He Yuyuan to hide aside.
Regarding Xiao Xi's question, Nan He didn't answer him, not because he saw through the real situation, but because he didn't know how to answer him.
Although Xiao Xi did treat her as a funny plaything, it was true that he had been lonely here for nearly 10,000 years, no one played with him, talked to him, and praised him for his good looks, and she felt that Xiao Xi might just treat her as a plaything at first, but now it is not like that.
A person who is always lonely, longs for someone to accompany and have friends, and one day there is a person like this who suddenly appears around him, he will feel very happy.
In order to verify that what he thought was correct, Nan He turned his head and fell his gaze on Xiao Xi's face, which was lying down again.
Sensing her gaze, Xiao Xi raised his eyes to look at her, and at this glance, he saw the grief and loss that flashed in her eyes.
His heart suddenly "thumped-", and there seemed to be a thunderstorm in his mind, which made him unable to recover for a long time.
Her gaze fell on Xiao Xi's eyes, if it was as usual, Xiao Xi would definitely look at her, and also fell on her face, but this time he didn't.
As if he was sleepy and wanted to sleep, Xiao Xi turned his head away.
Seeing this, Nan He knew that his first conjecture was correct, he really regarded himself as a plaything.
"Xiao Xi." She whispered his name.
"......" Xiao Xi did not speak.
After the first conjecture was confirmed to be true, Nan He couldn't wait to know if the second one would come true, but Xiao Xi didn't mean to cooperate with her, and he didn't even let her look at him.
Since you are not allowed to look at your face, then you will not look at it.
Nan He sighed deeply, and without knowing what she thought, she suddenly stood up.
Feeling that the person behind him got up, Xiao Xi quietly glanced back, and when he saw her standing there with an expressionless face, where could he still do it without saying a word!
His gaze turned, and his head also turned, he turned his gaze on Nan He's face, looked at her and asked, "When did you notice that something was wrong?" β
Now that he has turned his head, he is ready to confess, so when he spoke, he did not have the slightest intention of beating around the bush, but asked directly.
When Nan He heard it, she was surprised for a moment, but soon the surprise dissipated, she didn't look back, let alone look at him, she looked grief-stricken and loveless: "Just now." β
Since Xiao Xi is ready to confess, she has no intention of lying.
Hearing this, Xiao Xi was obviously stunned, he thought that he had been exposed a long time ago, but who would have thought that he had just been exposed.
"Then how did you find out something was wrong? Is it because of what I did? Or did you say something? "He now wants to know how he was exposed.
"It's not." Nan He shook his head slightly, then lowered his head and glanced at him, "I'll find out that something is wrong, and it's not because of you." β
Xiao Xi looked at her eyes full of doubts: "What's the reason for that?" β
Seeing him like this, Nan He let out a sigh, and then sat down next to him again: "Just now after I finished eating the spirit fruit, I suddenly felt a little sleepy, just when I was about to close my eyes, you talked to me and woke me up, and it was at that time that I found that something was wrong." β
She told Xiao Xi everything about how she guessed a little bit, and when she finished speaking, she looked at him with a smile on the corner of her lips, and when he moved his eyes to her face, he asked, "So, what do you think now?" β
She was asking Xiao Xi about his plans, asking him if he wanted to follow the old practice or be friends with her.
In fact, as early as when she asked this question, Nan He had an answer in her heart, and the answer was what she wanted to hear, so she was waiting for Xiao Xi to answer eagerly, and there was also a sense of expectation.
Xiao Xi didn't hesitate for long, he quickly raised his head again: "I want to go out." β
He didn't answer as Nan He thought.
For a moment, Nan He was a little sad, although she had only been with Xiao Xi for a few days, she really liked him, and even regarded him as a little relative in her heart, even if she knew that this might just be an illusion that Xiao Xi gave her, she was still looking forward to it.
As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
She just wanted to sigh for a long time now, and she didn't want to talk to him.
But even if she doesn't want to, she can't.
If she wanted to find the body of the Ye clan patriarch as soon as possible and find out the cause of his death, she had to solve the matter of Xiao Xi first, so she followed his words and asked, "So what?" β
"So?" Xiao Xi repeated, and then said with a smile on the corner of his lips, "If you can take me out, I'll be friends with you, okay?" β
A light rose in his smiling eyes again, but Nan He didn't eat him at this time.
"What if I don't take you out?" She asked rhetorically.
"If you don't take me out!" Xiao Xi liked to repeat her words very much, and after saying it again, he said, "If you don't take me out, then I will still be friends with you!" β
Nan He's second guess was also verified.
When they received He Yuyuan's message, Nan He and Xiao Xi had already begun to leave.
Xiao Xi dispersed the spell he had cast to trap her before, and after a while, Nan He saw the body of the Ye clan patriarch.
When He Yuyuan's voice came, she was walking over there.
"Ah He, has Qi Zhen contacted you?"
Hearing this question, Nan He was stunned at first, and then asked rhetorically, "What's wrong?" Is something wrong? β
He Yuyuan didn't have the slightest intention of concealing it, and told her the whole process of Qi Zhen's departure.
But he didn't tell her that Di He and Qi Zhen pushed him out as a shield.
After listening to what He Yuyuan said, Nan He frowned: "He didn't contact me. β
Saying that, she also tried it deliberately, but Qi Zhen didn't pay attention to her.
He Yuyuan didn't say anything more when he heard this, just said "um", and then directly cut off the connection between the two.
Regarding this connection, it has always been cut off by Nan He before, but this time the situation is reversed.
Before Nan He could ask what they were looking for Qi Array, He Yuyuan directly cut off the connection between them, so she sent a message to Di He, but there was still no response.
What the hell!
Nan He was puzzled, she stopped and stood for a while in confusion, and then didn't think about anything, directly threw out those things in her mind, and continued to walk towards the place where the body of the Ye clan patriarch was placed in front of her.
When the poisonous smoke dissipated, He Yuyuan had just finished the transmission with Nan He, and Di He turned around and asked him how he was, he shook his head, saying that Nan He didn't know either.
They will look for Qi Zhen, not because they are worried about him, but because they are afraid that he will come up with something at this important juncture.
But now Nan He has no news of him, and they have no way to find him, since this is the case, Di He and He Yuyuan have tacitly decided to ignore him for the time being.
"Let's go in now." Emperor He turned around and said to He Yuyuan.
"Hmm." He Yuyuan nodded, and then walked in after him.
As soon as he stepped down the steps, the formation in the courtyard was activated instantly.
The red light skyrocketed, and Di He realized that it was actually carrying an attack spell.
Without any more delay, Di He directly closed his eyes and felt the center of the enchantment.
After he closed his eyes, He Yuyuan squatted down.
His heart and chest still hurt a little, and he didn't want to stand at all.
Fortunately, the time for Di He to find the center of the enchantment was not short, so he had a good rest.
When Di He opened his eyes, he had already stood up again.
"How? Did you find it? β
"Hmm. Got it. β
Hearing this, He Yuyuan suddenly laughed, and then took a few steps back, so that Emperor He could walk towards the center of the enchantment, and then break the enchantment.
The whole process was very fast, and after a while, he came to the center, stared at it for a while, and then put the index finger and middle finger of his right hand together, put it in the center of his eyebrows and felt it, and then directly slapped it over and hit it there.
"Okay, all we have to do next is to wait." Emperor He took a step back, turned around to find He Yuyuan's location, looked at him and said.
He Yuyuan didn't understand this very well, all he had to do was wait, so when he heard what he said, he nodded, and then waited for him to walk to his side and stop beside him.
"After passing through the formation, you won't necessarily encounter anything." Di He swept his gaze over him, "How are you feeling now?" Why don't you just stay here? β
This is the second time he has said such a thing, the first time it sounded fresh and understandable, but the second time it was not like that.
He Yuyuan became a little angry because of his words, and this anger naturally would not be hidden, he immediately lowered his voice and shouted at Emperor He: "It's true that I was injured, but I'm well now, don't you treat me as a cripple!?" β
Di He was stunned by his roar, and immediately frowned: "I didn't treat you as a cripple. β
He Yuyuan was carried away by anger at this time, he didn't think about what he did at all, he only cared about how he felt, so when he heard his words, he shouted again: "Since that's the case, then you don't care about me anymore!" I am fine! Nothing at all!! I can't die for the time being!! β
I don't know if he was really angry or what, he actually added a sentence later: "Even if he dies, Ah He won't know anything, this matter has nothing to do with you, and it won't destroy your image in her heart." β
Di He: "......"
If he said something else, Di He wouldn't say anything anymore, and he wouldn't think about anything, but he said such a few hurtful words, how could Di He not think about it!
When he heard those words, Di He felt that his heart was instantly cold, he glanced at He Yuyuan coldly, and then turned his gaze elsewhere.
He Yuyuan was still angry at this time, so he didn't realize what he had just done or what he said, he turned his gaze away, and didn't even look at Di He.
If Nan He was here at this time, he would definitely think that the two of them were very naΓ―ve, and the two big men would actually make an awkward quarrel over a few words, and they would not be afraid of other people's jokes when they said it.
But if they stand in their respective positions, their behavior is reasonable again.
It's really annoying to be overly worried, but it's also very annoying to be told harshly, no, it's not only annoying, it's also sad.
Di He felt a little uncomfortable now, his eyes were firmly fixed on the enchantment, waiting for it to dissipate quickly, and then go in as soon as possible to get the life, and then they could be separated.
He didn't want to stay with He Yuyuan now.
I was expecting the enchantment to dissipate quickly, but the time for the enchantment to disperse really became faster, and it didn't take much effort for the originally strong and energetic enchantment to disperse.
There was no sound when the enchantment dispersed, if it was according to the method, Di He would definitely turn around and call He Yuyuan, but they had just made a fuss, so he didn't call, anyway, when the enchantment dispersed, there was a fluctuation of spiritual power, and Di He knew that He Yuyuan would definitely be able to feel it.
Thinking of this, he didn't stop any longer, and walked directly through the barrier with his feet up and into the room.
Facts have proved that Di He still knows a little about He Yuyuan, almost the moment he raised his foot, He Yuyuan turned around, and then followed behind him.
Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, Di He's frowning brows dispersed slightly, and the steps under his feet slowed down a little, but after taking a few steps forward, he felt that something was wrong, so he returned to his original speed and continued to walk forward.
They were now passing through a long corridor that, oddly enough, was empty.
Since there is nothing, there is nothing to worry about, and Di He's steps under his feet sped up again.
No matter how many pieces he goes, He Yuyuan can catch up.
At this time, he had come to his senses, and when he realized what he had just said, a sense of guilt suddenly came to his heart, but he suppressed it again.
Even if there is guilt, it is true, but it is only guilt, and now he has not thought about what to do, so he tries not to provoke him.
The long corridor is not very long, but the short is not very short, it can only be said to be a suitable length.
At the end of the corridor, Di He paused for a moment, and only when he was closer to him did he continue walking.
He Yuyuan knew why he was doing this, he was still worried about himself, he didn't want to let himself get too far away from him, save some injuries at that time, or encounter something that could not be solved, now is a good opportunity to ease the relationship between him and Di He.
He Yuyuan thought for a moment, then walked quickly behind Di He and followed him closely.
"I'm sorry, Fang is my words, I apologize to you." A hoarse voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
"......" Emperor He didn't say anything, and even ignored him.
"Emperor He." He called his name and then continued, "I'm sorry. β
The attitude instantly wilted, which was not at all the same as the feeling when Di He apologized to him, but if it really came to be discussed, Di He did something wrong, He Yuyuan did something wrong, and the essence of the two is still the same.
"Forget it, I'm sorry for you once, you're sorry for me once, let's settle it." Di He let out a sigh of relief.
Hearing this, He Yuyuan nodded hurriedly, and then said, "Okay, okay, it's even." β
Hearing his words, as well as the extraordinarily happy tone in which he spoke, Di He breathed a sigh of relief again.
If it were someone else, he would never be like this, but who made He Yuyuan the demon of Nan He! In the absence of his master, he has to take on the responsibility of protecting the Covenant Demon!
Thinking of this, Di He didn't feel anything at all.
He breathed a sigh of relief, He Yuyuan breathed a sigh of relief, these two things even passed like this.
The two of them were standing at the door of the main room at this time, and Emperor He first cast a spell to perceive it, and then released his divine sense to go in and check it, only to find that there was nothing.
"What's going on? It's obviously a very important thing, why is there only the demon beast on the outside and this enchantment on the inside? Is the Ye clan so relieved that no one will come in and steal the things inside? β
Di He asked three questions in his heart, then shook his head, and directly raised his hand to push the door and walked in.
Originally, they were still curious about what the place where their lives were recorded looked like, but now when they came in, there was really nothing unusual, just like an ordinary study.
After looking at the appearance, Di He quickly found Ji Fushen's life, and He Yuyuan also followed suit.
But.
The two of them searched for an hour, but they didn't find anything, not only that, but even the names of Ji Fushen and Ye Qingshuang were not recorded here.
What's going on?!
Di He was puzzled, he released his divine sense and searched carefully, but there was still nothing.
What the hell is going on!!
