Chapter 37: Mixed Feelings
Xiao Ye said that he was going to run errands, but he did not leave the General's Mansion, but secretly walked towards another mansion in the General's Mansion. Be careful along the way to avoid the servants of the General's Mansion from seeing her tracks.
Although she didn't have a Xuan Qi cultivation, her movements were still light and agile, and she easily avoided the eyes of those subordinates. After a few turns of the corridor, I finally came to a large courtyard located in the general's mansion.
Compared with other places, the guards and subordinates of this courtyard are obviously very few, and it seems to be unusually peaceful and harmonious. Before entering the courtyard, I smelled a faint fragrance of flowers and herbs. This smell made Xiao Ye involuntarily arouse a touch of arc.
That's right.
The round arched courtyard gate, Xiao Ye leaned sideways, looked at no one around, and looked cautiously into the courtyard.
Although the courtyard here is partial, it is very large, in the courtyard is full of flowers and plants, the fragrance of flowers is refreshing, bees and butterflies fly around, there is a small spring pool in a corner, the clear water flows out from the bamboo tube, falls into the pool and makes a light sound of flowing water.
Quiet, harmonious, beautiful, everything in this courtyard seems to be out of place with the usual hustle and bustle of this general's mansion.
And these, just like the person Xiao Ye is looking for, are gentle and elegant, but full of mystery.
Xiao Ye stood by the door, quietly looking at the figure in the courtyard, squatting among the flowers and plants, taking care of the flowers and plants.
He was dressed in a silver brocade robe, covered with a transparent cardigan, with the cuffs of his hands reaching to his elbows, and he was carefully tending to a flower and plant, and his careful attitude was like a treasure of care. A head of black hair was casually draped over his shoulders, and the breeze blew through it, and the hair was flying.
As far as the side reaches, the face is like a crown of jade, the nose is like a hanging gall, the lips are thin like wings, and the facial features are as deep as a knife. The noble temperament itself is not arrogant, but more like a soft and gentle.
The personality of everyone in the general's mansion is so flamboyant, and the appearance and aura of this person are so distinct and independent. Xiao Ye watched, and his favor rose.
This person is the first young master of the General's Mansion, Xiao Ziyi. The rumored person who can't practice martial arts and cultivate.
Regarding Xiao Ye's arrival, Xiao Ziyi seemed to be aware of it, concentrating on taking care of his beloved flowers and plants. So much so that Xiao Ye walked behind him, and he didn't look back.
Xiao Ye stood behind Xiao Ziyi and quietly looked at Xiao Ziyi among the flowers and plants.
In fact, she knew that Xiao Ziyi knew about her arrival. Everyone thought that Xiao Ziyi was a person who couldn't cultivate, but she knew that the person who delivered Xuan Qi to her that night was Xiao Ziyi.
The fragrance of herbs that filled the courtyard was exactly the same as the faint scent of medicine on his body that night.
"Xiao Ziyi." Standing behind Xiao Ziyi for a while, Xiao Ye called out Xiao Ziyi's name.
The person squatting among the flowers and plants in front of him heard Xiao Ye's voice, and the action of taking care of the flowers and plants stopped, but he didn't look back, and still squatted there.
Xiao Ye looked at Xiao Ziyi, and could feel Xiao Ziyi's hesitation at this moment. She really doesn't know what happened to Xiao Ziyi and her past? Why did Xiao Ziyi care about her, but she pretended to be indifferent.
That year, she and him, what happened?
"Is there something wrong?" Xiao Ziyi didn't turn back in the end, and after a short pause, he reached out and picked up the flowers and plants. In a word, some cold, some indifferent.
"I want you to help me." The person that Xiao Ye thought of before was Xiao Ziyi. This man who knows how to heal. She took the pill and the Xuan Qi disappeared without a trace. And Xiao Ziyi, who can hide his mystical qi so deeply on weekdays, must have studied these pills.
Maybe he knew what was going on with her now.
"I'm a person who can only grow flowers and plants, how can I help you?" A tone of indifference more than ever. In his heart, he had mixed feelings.
Maybe he didn't think that Xiao Ye would come to him.
After so many years, some things are still haunted by him. Yu Xiaoye, his heart was filled with longing and guilt.
Only now, she shouldn't have come to him.
Xiao Ye walked to Xiao Ziyi's side, squatted down and rolled up his sleeves, helping Xiao Ziyi to take care of the flowers and plants together, while showing a slight smile, and said easily: "I'll help you take care of the flowers and plants together, take care of it, you just give me some time for me, and we'll have a good talk." ”
She could naturally feel his indifference. In this case, she didn't necessarily think that he would agree to help her, so she didn't rush and took her time. She didn't want to waste her work.
She also knew that since Xiao Ziyi would secretly help him, he would definitely be soft-hearted towards her. Indifference is nothing more than an illusion.
Xiao Ye suddenly approached to help, Xiao Ziyi was slightly stunned, and looked sideways at Xiao Ye.
The white face, the delicate facial features, and the eyes that are now full of aura are beautiful and charming. The pink lips are slightly opened, making people feel in a trance. This kind of her is no longer the same as the sad and frightened Xiao Ye in the past.
In the same way, looking at her so carefully again, he will still be heartbeat, and he will touch the softest green place in his heart.
Seeing her arms with her sleeves rolled up again, the remaining scars from those chats would make his heart tingle for a while. His eyes involuntarily narrowed slightly, becoming a little blurry.
All along, it was he who didn't protect her.
Xiao Ye turned his head sideways and met Xiao Ziyi's clear eyes, Xiao Ziyi seemed to come back to his senses, pretending to cover up all kinds of emotions in his heart as if nothing had happened, continued to play with those flowers and plants, and said lightly: "You go back, so as not to be seen." ”
"What? Are you afraid? Xiao Ye raised her eyebrows and asked, her eyes looking closely at the expression on Xiao Ziyi's face, not letting go at all.
Xiao Ziyi didn't answer her.
Afraid?
He didn't know, he just felt that some things hadn't come yet, he was working hard, he was forbearing, everything was just for her to never be hurt in the future and to live happily forever.
"Thank you, Xiao Ziyi." Xiao Ye said suddenly.
"I didn't do anything, you don't have anything to thank me."
"Thank you for saving me before, if it weren't for you, I might have been the soul of the medicine master." Although it was just a guess, she felt that it should be Xiao Ziyi. In the backyard, the force that secretly supported her and escaped from the pharmacist's attack.
It's him, it must be him Xiao Ziyi.
In this general's mansion, or in this era, she can no longer think of a second person who will help her.
Xiao Ye's words shocked Xiao Ziyi's heart, but on the surface, he was silent, revealing a faint smile: "What kind of rescue, I'm just a waste person, what can I save you?" ”
"Don't pretend, I know it all." Xiao Ye approached Xiao Ziyi with a wicked smile, and his voice was quiet.
Suddenly approaching again, the warm breath sprinkled out, causing ripples in Xiao Ziyi's heart, and a slight red appeared on his face: "Xiao Ye, I really don't know what you're talking about?" ”
"Really?" Xiao Ye asked with a smile, but as soon as he finished speaking, his eyes pressed violently, his breath was fierce, and his two fingers pointed directly towards Xiao Ziyi's waist without warning.
It doesn't matter if there is no Xuan Qi, this action is still fast and fierce. Then before the two fingers touched Xiao Ziyi's waist, Xiao Ziyi clamped her wrist with one hand.
Looking at each other, Xiao Ziyi frowned. Xiao Ye originally had a sharp and serious expression, and when he looked at Xiao Ziyi's hand clamping his wrist, a smile slowly rippled at the corner of his mouth, and he squeezed his eyebrows at Xiao Ziyi: "Kung Fu is good." ”
Ordinary people don't know, in fact, after Wu Xuan's cultivation reaches a certain level, there will be a certain number of life gates on his body, and these life gate points are generally hidden in three places in the human body, the heavenly spirit, the waist, and the soles of the feet. Judging from the strength that he had held up in his backyard before, Xiao Ye believed that the person's lifepoint should be at the waist.
Sure enough.
Xiao Ziyi didn't say anything, picked up Xiao Ye and hurriedly walked to his inner room, closing the door with his backhand.
Xiao Ye stood in front of Xiao Ziyi with his hands on his chest, looking at Xiao Ziyi with an interesting look.
Xiao Ziyi also looked at Xiao Ye, but the look on his face was not so good, and in his eyes, all kinds of complex emotions intersected together.
The house was quiet.
After the two looked at each other like this for a long time, Xiao Ziyi finally sighed lightly and admitted defeat. "How do you know?"
"That night, the night you came back from the tower, you healed my wounds."
“……”
"Since that day, I know that you have been secretly helping me like that before, I think I can live until now, everything is because of you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how many times I would have died hundreds of times." Thinking that she had walked back from the Ghost Gate countless times before, it was all because Xiao Ziyi secretly helped her again and again and healed her.
Although it is not the same Xiao Ye, in the same memory, everything is the same.
"Then why don't you keep saying it?"
"Since you've been hiding it, you must have your own thoughts, so I'll act as if I don't know anything."
"And now?"
"If I hadn't been out of necessity today, I wouldn't have come to you today." Thinking that he no longer had the slightest bit of mystery, Xiao Ye felt a burst of sorrow in his heart. "At the time of the Xuan Examination Conference, I stole the second-grade pill that the pharmacist had taken, and then I went to his medicine village to steal all his pills, I wanted to use this to improve myself, but for some reason, overnight, all the Xuan Qi in my body was lost, and I have no cultivation at all, just like a waste person. I don't want to be bullied and scolded like I used to be. So, I think of the only person who can help me, and you. ”
Hearing Xiao Ye's words, Xiao Ziyi paced back and forth, his face gloomy. At the end, he walked to Xiao Ye's side, held Xiao Ye's tiger's mouth acupoint, and a gentle Xuan Qi immediately probed into Xiao Ye's body.
The gentle Xuan Qi was unimpeded all the way, and it was true that he couldn't feel any Xuan Qi in Xiao Ye's body. In this regard, Xiao Ziyi's face was as calm as usual, and he did not show any surprise.
Letting go of Xiao Ye's hand, Xiao Ziyi said softly: "It's it." ”
