Chapter XXVII
"Promise by example?" He smiled aggrievedly, looked at me and said, "If you think about it again, I still want to spend my old age in peace." β
I didn't want this awkward atmosphere to continue, so I got the conversation back on track and asked him, "Do you know why only I can enter the palace?" β
After listening to my question, he was silent for another two seconds before slowly nodding his head and replying, "I do know, and this matter is about your life." β
"Oh my God, what do you keep your old man so well hidden? You can't say it, let me be on guard? β
Hearing my urging, he was not in a hurry, slowly took out the water from his bag, took a sip, and then walked to the bottom of the stairs and looked up twice, before he came back and sat on the low stool and said: "I won't tell you about this matter, because I know your character, if you know that entering the palace may die, you may rather withdraw from Bai Zechen's task than come over, because you have always lived so freely." But this matter is not destined to be solved by your evasion, I thought at first that you could live this life peacefully, but after you told me about Bai Zechen's mission, I asked people to do some secret investigations, and found that more and more people have paid attention to resurrection in recent years. Moreover, some people on the road don't know where to get the news, they already know that you are related to the resurrection technique, and only you can enter the palace to find the resurrection technique. β
"Why is this resurrection related to my life and death?" I asked.
Kong Xian replied: "There are two reasons for this, one is the obvious reason, that is, after more and more people know that you are related to the resurrection technique, they will definitely try their best to get you to find the resurrection technique, if you are not willing to help them, they may take all kinds of extreme measures, and you are destined to be at peace for the rest of your life, and even become a victim of the competition between various forces." The second is the reason that only I know, this prince needs a descendant to wake him up after his death, because this resurrection technique needs to be immersed for a long time before it can be activated. So Li Buxiao didn't know what method he had been taught? Allowing him to implant this ability to activate resurrection into a person's descendants, but it needs to be screened by gender. It may be because the prince understands that the probability of the offspring being a girl is much greater, so he chooses a girl. Obviously, Mu Hitomi is the one chosen by the prince, and you are the first girl among his descendants. If you turn on the resurrection technique in the prince's mansion, it is basically a life for life, he will come back to life, and you will die. β
"What you're talking about is boundless. Then since I'm going to die if I start the resurrection technique, why do you have to get me here? "I really don't understand what he's doing this. Since I am the only one in the world who can enter the palace, if I don't come, what can others do to me?
After I finished asking, I thought that Kong Xian would answer immediately, but I didn't expect him to be silent for a long time before he suddenly spoke up and said something that made me even more incomprehensible. He said: "If I tell you that my great-grandfather went out of this ancient city with Mu Hitomi, in fact, the real purpose is so that I can take you back to the ancient city, you will ...... Hate me? β
I smiled wryly, "If that's the case, tell me now, aren't you afraid that I'll back down?" β
I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, and suddenly I knew that a person who had been by my side for so long, had a relationship that was closer than my family, but it had another purpose. To be honest, I couldn't accept it for a while, it felt like a dream, everything in front of me was fake.
Kong Xian also showed a wry smile, reached out and stroked my head, and then in my surprised gaze, he gently dropped a kiss on my forehead, and then said with a little sadness: "Do you remember how many times I told you?" I will never hurt you. β
"Can we give me a good time? You have to let me have a guessing game here, do you? Look at me right now, you feel refreshed? β
His eyes were deep, and there was a bitter but gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, and then he buried his head in my neck socket and said sullenly, "I have rebelled." Maybe when I was a child, I was just young and ignorant, so I fell out with my family because I liked you for the sake of my mission. But then, I struggled for a while. However, when I really saw you hovering on the edge of death, I really completely admitted defeat, and the mission is completely incomparable to you for me. I found myself a very conflicted person, hoping that you would only have me in the whole world, and fearing that the day I would die, you would follow me desperately. β
Perhaps hearing what he said, I should have shown shock, or it was very difficult to accept, and even had a serious psychological struggle. But I didn't, and I don't know why, my mood at the moment was as flat as water, like listening to someone else's story.
I never thought that Kong Xian was burdened with such a big secret for me, and it would be more than 20 years to hide it. But now that he has said this, I feel so indifferent, maybe I am a person with a big heart.
Maybe...... I don't know when my trust in him has allowed me to put this life in his hands.
I glanced at Kong Xian, who was nested in my neck, and teased the words: "Look, I finally admit that you like me." Let's talk about it, have you coveted my beauty for so many years and are plotting against me? β
"You...... Nothing to question me? Aren't you afraid that I will really bring you into the palace and exchange your life for the life of the prince? Kong Xian raised his head, his face full of doubt. He couldn't figure out why I knew why I was so calm about this? Oh, as if I figured it out. If you know something, you just know, so why bother with it, it's just your own trouble.
I shrugged my shoulders with a look of indifference, "I still want to ask, but I saw that you took the initiative to confess today, oh, for the sake of taking the initiative to confess." That's all there is to it, didn't you say that you would never harm me? I often only believe nine out of ten sentences of what you say, but this sentence will never harm me, I believe it. β
After saying that, I pulled Kong Xian up and walked in the direction of the stairs, "Hurry up and get out, they are desperate outside, and it seems that we are not righteous enough to hide here." β
That's it, just as I was about to climb up, I suddenly remembered something again, stopped and turned my head to ask him, "Don't you know what Lin Su thinks about you?" β
"Jealous?" He had a funny smile on his face.
I also gave him a smiling face that didn't smile, and then gave him a thumbs up and admired: "Brother, it's a good game, you dare to rob Bai Zechen's fiancΓ©e?" Working for the boss, but you robbed the boss's wife, do you still want the salary? β
"I didn't plan to snatch her, only Da Yang and you, these two brains are not as big as a walnut, they will like Lin Su." I couldn't understand his disdainful expression. Although he told me before that Peng Jiayuan's matter may be related to Lin Su, in my mind, Lin Su is a gentle, virtuous and knowledgeable goddess-level girl after all, and no matter how you say it, you shouldn't let Kong Xian have this kind of disgust.
I narrowed my eyes and shook a "serious" look, "I'll tell you seriously, if you really like Lin Su, don't care about me, I won't mess with you for your life's event." However, if you don't like it, don't let people spend their hopes on you. β
"No matter how you listen to it, it feels like you're jealous." After he finished saying this with a smile, his expression instantly became cold, "Lin Su is not as simple as you think, as a woman, you should know more about women's feelings than me." Since she tried her best to marry Bai Zechen, she must have deep feelings for Bai Zechen, how easy will she be so easy to empathize with Bai Zechen? I think she might have another purpose in approaching me. β
"But when she and you were trapped in Kong Ze's illusion, she chose to protect you with her own life."
"You're stupid sometimes, I'm worried." Kong Xian sighed a little helplessly and said, "That's because she knew that she had no chance of winning, so she had to use the trick of bitterness to impress me and get the few opportunities." β
"Perhaps...... She married Bai Zechen just for money, but she was sincere to you? I asked.
"Then her feelings are worthless." Kong Xian shook his head, and after saying with an indifferent expression, he grabbed the stairs and climbed up.
When we came to the top, we found that the door was open, and there were many corpses lying outside the door, but we didn't see Mo Yanchen and them. The whole street felt empty again, and the air temperature also rose.
"They're not going to leave us behind, are they?" I looked around and asked.
Kong Xian said: "No, it is estimated that it is around here, let's look for it." β
Within two steps of walking down the street, I faintly heard a sound of talking. Listen carefully, it seems to be Liu Yang. Following the direction of the sound, we came to a corner next to a teahouse.
There was their flickering flashlight in the corner, and as soon as he saw us, Lin Su waved his hand to this side and let us pass.
When I walked over, I almost turned around and ran away. I saw a person lying on the ground, with blood and water on his body, and he looked miserable. But what was even more miserable was his skinless face and the fangs that I was familiar with!
This turned out to be the weirdo who snatched the letter that Mu Hitomi left for me after we returned to the village. How did he get here? This isn't going to be tracking us all this far, is it? Then I really have to respect him for being a talent, and after walking so far, no one on our side found out that he was being followed? Even Mo Ranchen didn't find anything abnormal, how terrifying is this guy's skills?
"Little brother, don't be afraid, this old man is just a little miserable, but he is really a big living person, he has such a long pair of fangs, I don't know if he has been bitten by a vampire." Liu Yang was like a tour guide and gave me an introduction.
I simply pretended not to know and nodded.
Mo Ranchen said: "He was attacked by a face bamboo, and the injuries on his body were somewhat serious, so we brought water from the teahouse next to him and washed him, I don't know if it will get better." β
The man was lying on the ground, his eyes closed, and he was trembling as before Kong Xian. But I'm a little entangled in my heart now, I don't know if this person will bite us back after he is saved? After all, he's so good at it, we don't have a more deterrent weapon with us, he's like a ticking time bomb.
