Twenty-third
Everyone understood, said goodbye, and after a while, only Wen Shu and Su Nianchi were left in the house.
Nian Chi looked at Wen Shu and slowly spoke: "On that day of the Tianshui Pavilion fire, you were the first person to find me, wasn't it?" β
The silver face in my memory was cold, and I once thought it was an illusion, but the feeling that my tight heartstrings had finally been released at that time was so real that I couldn't forget it.
Wen Shu no longer concealed it at this time, and nodded straightforwardly, "Yes." β
Nian Chi asked, "Why?" β
Wen Shu said: "The Tibetan Sword Villa and Tianshui Pavilion have been friends for generations, and Tianshui Pavilion is in trouble, so naturally I can't sit idly by." β
He remembered that he heard about the fire in Tianshui Pavilion that day, and he happened to be not very far away, but when he rushed there, it was still too late, and there was no one to live in the whole Tianshui Pavilion except for her.
He didn't know it was her, she was in his arms, scarred, but her mind was still stubborn and refused to dissipate.
Her gaze slowly swept over his masked face, as if confirming that she had finally escaped from the fire cave and was finally safe, and the black and white eyes slowly closed, no longer holding on, and letting herself fall into a coma.
He thought then how strong his mind must be to remain awake in the face of the pain of such a burning flame until he was sure that he was out of danger.
looked down slowly, inspecting her injuries, but unexpectedly saw Feng Yangpei around her neck, slightly stunned.
This is the woman with whom he was betrothed.
"Why didn't you show up after saving me, and you were so reluctant to have anything to do with me?" Nian Chi looked at him and asked again.
Wen Shu didn't speak for a while, in fact, she was right, when Tianshui Pavilion was on fire, saving her was moral, not affectionate.
Therefore, after confirming that her life was worry-free, she really had other important matters, so she left the dome to take care of the western border, and she didn't feel inappropriate, nor did she worry too much.
It's just that if it weren't for the words of his father in the Sanqian Courtyard that day, maybe he would have married her, and from then on he would have respected each other like a guest, and he would only have respected each other like a guest.
She will be the daughter-in-law of the Wen family, she is strong enough to be the right person.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Nian Chi asked again: "You saved me for morality, took care of me, and pushed me to reject me for morality." Wen Shu, I asked you that day, and now I want to ask again, do you want to do this family affair, is it because your parents' orders cannot be violated, or do you not want this family affair in the first place, so you are happy to push the boat with the water, or is it for Ah Jing? β
Wen Shu looked at her and said, "Both." β
Nian Chi was stunned, he didn't expect that this time he would answer, and he confessed so frankly.
And Wen Shu continued to say lightly: "I was raised by my grandmother since I was a child, and my relationship with my parents is very weak. β
It was the first time he had told her about the past, and perhaps the first time he had told someone.
"I still remember when I was seven years old, my grandmother asked Grandpa Jing to teach me the Tibetan style swordsmanship, and I never told anyone after I learned it, but practiced diligently day and night in private, just to dance at my father's birthday banquet, celebrate his birthday, and hope that he would be happy. However, he didn't expect that in the shocked and admiring voices of all the guests, his father sank his face. He didn't say anything, but I knew he wasn't happy. After the guests dispersed, his mother took Ah Jing to the martial arts arena and urged him to practice swordsmanship without food or sleep for three daysβevery time, as long as I was praised, Ah Jing would suffer. β
"Why is that?" Nian Chi was puzzled.
Wen Shu said: "Maybe it's because my grandmother loves me and takes care of everything for me since I was a child, and my parents feel that they owe Ah Jing, so they should pay more to him." β
"So you deliberately hid it and left Zangjian Villa to wander the rivers and lakes?"
"Later I realized that this is the best way to get along."
"Haven't you ever complained?"
"Ah Jing didn't complain about my grandmother's partiality, no matter what the older generation thought, whether they value us or not, and the younger generations of our children, we value them."
His voice was soft, but open-minded.
Nian Chi paused for a moment, and then asked softly, "You were the one who rescued me from Yan Qichi, isn't it?" β
Wen Shu said: "Yes." β
He remembered that day, she was obviously restrained and poisoned, but she was still able to put down Yan Qichi unexpectedly, and he was not surprised to see her trying to find an antidote.
Just sighed in his heart, and raised his hand to brush her sleeping hole, so that she would not suffer from the strength again.
Now that she was out of danger, he should have left, but for some reason he hesitated.
She did not hesitate to reveal her identity, there are many ill-intentioned people in the rivers and lakes, even Yan Qichi of the Northern Xuangong was alarmed, the hardships along the way are not something that she can deal with as a lone woman.
He wanted to wait for Ah Jing to come and leave, but she insisted on refusing.
In the end, there is still something that he can't let go, he is not a rigid person, he has arrived in the south, and there is only one last journey left to go to the Qiongling, so he will send her safely.
"Since you are the lord of the Qiongling Valley, I guess it is also your intention to take care of people everywhere during my trip to the Qiongling - how did you know that I was coming to the Qiongling?" Her voice rang out again.
Wen Shu said: "Since you insist on finding the whereabouts of the "Heavenly Life Water Scroll", the Qiongling Valley will naturally be suspicious, and you are indeed here." β
Nian Chi suddenly remembered that he had no place to go in the Qiongling Valley these days, and there were no things that could not be seen, was it also his deliberate arrangement, wanting him to see clearly, the Qiongling Valley had never harbored the "Heavenly Life Water Scroll".
Wen Shu looked at her quietly and said slowly: "Whether you believe it or not, Qiongling Valley has never been an enemy of Tianshui Pavilion, let alone privately possessed the Tiansheng Water Scroll. β
There is a convincing power in his voice.
Nenchi nodded, "I believe." β
On the contrary, Wen Shu was slightly stunned because she agreed so easily.
Nian Chi said lightly: "You can easily let go of the position of the owner of the Hidden Sword Mountain Villa, how can you covet other people's things?" β
Wen Shu smiled indifferently, "A man's fame should be taken by himself, and he doesn't need to be in the shade of his ancestors." β
Nian Chi didn't speak for a while, just looked at him.
Wen Shu paused for a moment, and then spoke again: "The swordsmanship I made that day was indeed the Tibetan Wind Swordsmanship, and even Ah Jing couldn't learn it. β
She didn't understand why he had brought it up so suddenly, could he have seen her covetousness?
Wen Shu didn't seem to notice her thoughts, but continued: "If there is anything that Ah Jing doesn't have, but only I have, maybe it's it, you insist on walking with me, maybe part of the reason is for it, but you also saw that day, the Tibetan Wind Sword Technique may be exquisite, but it is far from being as invincible as it is rumored - where in this world is there any peerless martial arts?" The real peerless is the magic of use. It is the same move, if you send it too early, the opponent will have time to catch it, and if you send it too late, the opponent's position has changed, and it will be difficult to hit it with one blow. Only by being impartial and impartial can we be invincible. And this is practiced by one move and one style, and it is fed with blood, not that you can do it by learning that set of swordsmanship and martial arts. β
So, he danced the Tibetan Wind Sword Technique twice from beginning to end that day, just to let her understand this truth?
Like everything he had arranged in the Vault Valley.
He had already detected her thoughts, but he still let her prying eyes.
Such openness and fairness, and because there is enough confidence and fearlessness.
She had never met such a person in her life, and she only felt that her heart was soft, so that she actually felt a little pain.
Wen Shu looked at her and asked, "Do you still have something to ask?" β
Nian Chi shook his head silently.
Wen Shu said: "I will arrange for someone to send you out of the valley." β
Nian Chi understood at this time that the reason why he told her so much was because he was not sure about the competition in three days, although he himself would not leave the Qiongling Valley, but he did not intend to drag her into danger.
So, confess everything and unravel all her unwillingness.
Then, send her away.
"I'm not leaving." She met his gaze.
He frowned slightly, and was about to say something, but he heard her voice sound, unusually calm-
"If you insist on sending me away, it will be like telling everyone, including the firmament seniors and yourself, that you have no chance of winning. As soon as people's hearts are scattered, there is no room for turnaround. β
His eyebrows furrowed, but she smiled slightly.
"Since we are here together, we should also go together, I will never leave you first, and you don't need to say more."
He looked at her for a long time, and finally relaxed his brows, his eyes were deep, "I want to retreat and pranayama, you avoid it first." After three days, if the tomb is safe, they will go together. β
