Chapter 168
"You're going to hand me over?!" Bai Jingyu stood on the edge of Chu Nanxiu's bedside, looking at Lin Huaizhu and Qin Jianglan vigilantly, his eyes full of vigilance.
It's not that he didn't expect that the other party's purpose was impure, but he didn't expect that they would want to hand him over to the sect, which really made him unacceptable.
"You don't have to be so nervous, if we want to use you to contribute to the sect, now my master and I should be standing in the Guiyuan Hall where the head of the sect lives and will not be here." Lin Huaizhu understood his mood and explained, "We just came to ask you for an answer, let you be free, or stay in the Taichumen, two choices, which one do you choose?" ”
Bai Jingyu moved his lips and did not speak.
He didn't know which one he would re-elect now, and he only felt helpless and panicked in his heart.
"What's the difference between these two choices?" Chu Nanxiu leaned on the cushion and sat up, and said weakly.
"If you choose the former, then after the Liangyi Palace recovers from your injuries, I can only ask you to leave the Taichu Gate and go wherever you want, I can assure you that I will not reveal the slightest trace of your whereabouts." Lin Huaizhu said, "If you choose the latter, as a descendant of the Wuling Clan, you should also think about the possible consequences." ”
Qin Jianglan stood aside and did not speak, his face was cold, listening to Lin Huaizhu explain the situation to them like a stone sculpture.
He didn't tell Qingjia Daojun about the two people in the dungeon yesterday, it was because of Bai Jingyu.
If he didn't want to stay in Taichumen and spend the rest of his life like a canary in captivity, then these two people would not be sent to the Guiyuan Hall to be disposed of by the senior brother in charge, otherwise Bai Jingyu's matter would not be hidden.
Only when Bai Jingyu chose to stay in Taichumen could he take those two people to be handed over to his senior brother to dispose of.
Bai Jingyu wrung his fingers uneasily, lowered his head and bit his lip silently, Chu Nanxiu saw this, and could only say: "We thank the two of you for saving your lives, and we also know that it is benevolent and righteous to do this as you, but this matter is related to Jing'er's life, I ...... I can't make up my mind for a while, and give us a few days first, and then we can choose after we discuss, okay? ”
"It's okay, I can let you think about it for two days first, and if it is more, we won't be able to explain it to the head master." Lin Huai Bamboo Road.
It took a few days to hand people over after coming back, and it was unreasonable.
"Okay, just two days."
Seeing Qin Jianglan and Lin Huaizhu go out of the room, Bai Jingyu immediately asked anxiously, "Uncle Chu, what should we do?" ”
"What else can I do?" Chu Nanxiu himself sighed, coughed twice and said, "You have also seen the current situation, no matter how we hide, it is still difficult to escape the tracking of others, but if you want to stay in Taichumen and find a safe shelter, you have to show the corresponding value, if you choose the former, you must be ready to continue to live like this." ”
Bai Jingyu's mood suddenly fell.
"Don't worry, didn't they give us two days, in these two days, let's think about countermeasures and see if there is a better option to go."
Bai Jingyu was silent, he was no longer the innocent boy he was at the beginning, he had been hunted down for so many years, he understood many things, and he was no longer as coaxing as before.
"If I could only choose one of these two options, I would prefer to stay at the Taichumen and seek refuge." After a while, Bai Jingyu said in a low voice.
If he chooses freedom, Uncle Chu can only follow him all the way to escape, but if he can find peace in Taichumen, Uncle Chu can return to the same life as before, and he will no longer have to be affected by him.
Chu Nanxiu looked at Bai Jingyu's dejected expression, knowing what he was thinking, but didn't say anything.
In fact, he also hoped that Bai Jingyu could have the protection of Taichumen and live his life safely, but he didn't want him to be trapped here for the rest of his life and not be able to escape this cage.
Chu Nanxiu couldn't help but sigh, most things in the world are always so difficult to have the best of both worlds.
There was silence in the wings, and the breeze passed through the room, but it still couldn't take away their sorrows.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" After leaving from Bai Jingyu's room and returning to Qin Jianglan's dormitory, Lin Huaizhu couldn't help but ask when he saw his face full of contemplation.
"That kid, I'm afraid he won't accept his fate so easily." Qin Jianglan recalled Bai Jingyu's performance and shook his head and said.
"Why did Master say that?"
"His eyes."
"Eyes?"
"Yes, his eyes are full of unconvinced, although he didn't say anything at the time, but he can also see that he is a stubborn child, and he will not choose the two choices you give."
"But now that these two roads can let him go, what else does he want to do?" Lin Huaizhu sat at the table and propped his head, and said strangely.
Qin Jianglan shook his head slowly, looking thoughtful.
I'm afraid that he has the idea of preferring to be broken jade rather than being complete.
The next day, Qin Jianglan and Si Che sat in the side hall of Liangyi Palace to play against each other, he was worried about things, he didn't concentrate on the chessboard, and after Si Che took a step, he still pinched the chess pieces with a pensive face, if he didn't understand his temperament, Si Che would really think that he was seriously thinking about the chess game.
"What's wrong with you? He looks preoccupied. Seeing his abnormal appearance, Si Che asked curiously.
Qin Jianglan paused, quickly came back to his senses, put the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard without changing his face, and replied lightly: "It's okay." ”
Si Che looked at him suspiciously, feeling that his performance was not as light as he said.
"How do I think that after you came back from this experience, you seem to have added a lot of troubles, and the whole person looks very heavy."
“…… You're too careful. ”
"Really?" Si Che still looked at him in disbelief, listening to Qin Jianglan's hesitant answer, he smelled something unusual, narrowed his narrow eyes, and asked, "Don't you have some secrets to hide from me, do you?" ”
Qin Jianglan was silent for two seconds: "What do you think?" ”
Si Che looked at him with a frown, his fingers lightly tapping his arm, and the confusion in his heart became even heavier.
Why do you feel that I haven't seen him for a few years, Jiang Lan seems to be a different person, although he can't say the specific changes in him, but he just feels that something is wrong.
As soon as Si Che thought so, he saw Qin Jianglan suddenly raise his head and look at him, his face was expressionless, and his heart jumped, thinking that Qin Jianglan knew what he was thinking in his heart.
"It's your turn." Qin Jianglan said lightly.
The corners of Si Che's mouth twitched, and he looked at him speechlessly, slandering in his heart.
This kind of character that doesn't finish talking must be me!
Qin Jianglan lowered his head, knowing his doubts, but he couldn't say it now, so he could only divert the topic and look down at the chessboard.
He brought back two people from the outside, naturally he couldn't hide Si Che's eyes, his explanation to Si Che was that on the way back, he saw them attacked by demon cultivators, and rescued them, but one of them was too seriously injured, and he hurried back to the sect to report the news, so he brought people back.
This explanation is also reasonable, Si Che didn't suspect it, and just thought it was another Min Junjie.
Qin Jianglan and Si Che were playing chess in the main hall, Lin Huaizhu went to prepare food for them, Bai Yao and Xiaopang also followed, and Bai Jingyu and Chu Nanxiu were left in the apse, and they were discussing something in the wing room at the moment.
"Tomorrow is the last day of Miss Lin's deadline, Jing'er, tell me, what do you think?" Chu Nanxiu leaned on the head of the bed and looked at the young man sitting on the couch opposite.
Bai Jingyu opened a pair of blank eyes, sat with his knees crossed, his head resting on his knees, and looked very confused: "I, I don't know, my brain is so messy now, my mind is buzzing inside, and I can't think about anything." ”
Chu Nanxiu fell silent when he heard this, and sat quietly on the side, watching him hold his head and cry quietly.
Bai Jingyu has been avoiding the pursuit for the past few years, and finally can take a breath, and his brain can't help but think of the tragic situation when the family was wiped out, his eyes were red, tears fell down, he couldn't stop trembling, and his heart was full of resentment: "Those people, just because they coveted my ability, killed my family, my father died, and Aunt Jin also died, but I still have to secretly live under these people in order to keep myself alive, and work hard for them, how ironic!" If that's the case, I'd rather die and let their hopes be disappointed, I can go underground with Daddy, and they won't have to go underground to accompany us soon! It's just a matter of time! ”
"Jing'er!" Chu Nanxiu saw that his expression was becoming more and more crazy, and the words he said were becoming more and more terrifying, he was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly shouted, afraid that there would be a demonic obstacle in his heart.
Bai Jingyu was slammed by him, and he woke up in fright, although he was still sobbing and crying, he didn't say anything more.
Chu Nanxiu sighed weakly, knowing that he hated in his heart, and wanted to persuade him to let go, but he didn't know how to speak, so he could only sit with him silently.
He has taken Bai Jingyu to avenge those people in the Bai family one by one, and even the last Zhang Quan has died at the hands of Qin Jianglan and his party, and the family revenge has been avenged, he doesn't want Bai Jingyu to still be immersed in hatred.
After all, it is very painful to live a life with hatred, and Bai Jingyu has grown up since he was a child, just like his own nephew, he naturally doesn't want him to be tied up by hatred for a lifetime.
Bai Jingyu lowered his eyes and looked at the floor tiles in a daze, and said in a hoarse voice crying for a while: "Uncle Chu, I have decided to stay here." ”
Chu Nanxiu suddenly raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were full of astonishment, and he looked at him in disbelief, he thought that Bai Jingyu would want to be free even more.
"I want freedom, but I don't want this freedom to hide." Bai Jingyu seemed to know his surprise, and smiled bitterly, "What I desire is the freedom to appear in front of everyone in this continent openly, without worrying about being afraid of not being able to sleep, and without worrying about being afraid of being discovered all day long, just hide and flee like a rat crossing the street, what is the use of me wanting such freedom?" ”
"Jing'er ......"
"Sometimes I think, it's good that my father didn't find the myelin cleansing pill for me, so that they can still live well in this world, and I am still the young master of the Bai family, although the family business is not big, but with my father, I am still the simple teenager who is on a rampage, how nostalgic such days are." Bai Jingyu thought of the past and thought of his future, his eyes were dead, like a lifeless wooden doll.
Chu Nanxiu felt uncomfortable looking at him like this, moved his lips, and finally swallowed his words without saying anything.
