After settling the three wounded, Yue left in a hurry.

This time, she borrowed the back door of the white shopkeeper's house again.

The vines that had grown new branches not long ago, and were spreading towards the door, had been trampled on again, and were destroyed.

But after this time, there will probably be a long, long time before anyone will bother them.

It was almost dawn when Yue returned to Baifu, but as soon as he entered the front yard, he found that the white shopkeeper was sitting in the cold and dark courtyard and pouring himself a drink.

Are you waiting for her?

"Seniors... Didn't the seniors sleep all night? ”

"I slept for a while, and when I got older, I naturally didn't sleep well. When I came out to take a look, I found that there was a fire outside the city, and the sky was burned red. ”

Yue looked up, and sure enough, he saw from a distance that the sky in the north seemed to be faintly flashing with red light.

It seems that the fire is almost burning.

"You set this fire, right?"

"I... Although there are some things that don't need to be hidden from the seniors, the seniors are originally indulgent and free people, so why bother themselves? ”

The white shopkeeper was silent for a moment, and suddenly raised his head and drank the wine in the glass. When he spoke again, his voice was a little cold, and there was a smell of indifference and ruthlessness.

"That's right. It's better that the old man still doesn't know those things. It's just that although the old man took the girl as a friend, my mother-in-law is a bodhisattva who can't see blood, and I ask the girl not to bring this choking blood to my house in the future. ”

Later? Will there be a future?

With the character of the white shopkeeper, he didn't knock her out of the house on the spot, which already saved her face.

Even if she wanted to, I am afraid that the days of drinking without worry until dawn will be gone after all.

“。。。 I made a note of it, and asked my senior to borrow a bathtub to use. ”

"There you go."

There was a lonely expression on Yue's face, but in the end he walked away silently.

After all, the white shopkeeper is just an ordinary person.

He does not belong to this Jianghu and will never understand what Jianghu is.

It was a last resort to implicate him this time, and he should be angry.

The price of blood and fire didn't break her, but she might have lost a rare friend because of it.

There was even an illusion in her mind, was she gradually becoming like a dead person?

Unscrupulous means to achieve the end, even taking advantage of friends.

Although she did not hurt the innocent, will one day, even this bottom line be lost?

Whether her original intention was to help a friend, or something else.

After all, she was still stained with blood all over her hands for her own selfishness.

If she loses even that bottom line, does it mean that she has finally become the kind of person she despises.

Before she achieved her wish, she first became the kind of person she disdained.

It's ridiculous.

If that's the case, then what's the point of all this?

Yue slowly sank her body into the hot water, but there was a deep feeling of powerlessness that was more terrible than physical exhaustion, but suddenly came up from all directions, enveloping her heavily.

Who is she?

And who should it be?

She suddenly remembered the blood-like veins she had seen earlier.

It never appeared again, only a pair of clean, white palms.

Probably just her hallucinations after all.

But what really made her feel strange and terrifying was not the thick blood, but the numb self who fought with a knife.

She didn't remember killing anyone.

She had thought she should be scared and hesitant.

When the knife in her hand literally plunged into the enemy's chest, the thick splatters of blood blurred her vision, and the raw temperature soaked her hands.

But she just felt an indescribable disgust, the sound of flesh and bones shattering.

Disgusted her.

Immediately afterward, there was only a feeling of boredom and nausea.

It's not because of those bloody miserable conditions, but because of the calm and numb self. 、

It's not the first time you've killed someone.

Even if you have forgotten, your incomparably skilled hands have confirmed everything in place of your memory.

Maybe you're more damned than the killers you call innocent and bloody.

The wounds that had not healed were cracked again under the soak of hot water, and the blood that meandered red the otherwise clear water.

She let the blood spread in all directions, and the wounds gradually revealed their hideous and terrifying faces under the hot water.

It's disgusting.

The wound from the last time was gradually fading, and this time it was like this again.

The medicine given to her by Tianji is very good, and these injuries are not very serious, so these scars will fade one day.

It may leave a very fine mark, as if it is a mark left on the heart.

One knife, another knife.

Maybe one day, these old scars will crack again under someone's knife and take her life once and for all.

Or perhaps, those invisible scars will gradually accumulate, and eventually her heart will completely wither.

Will she drown in her own blood?

It's ridiculous.

Isn't she already dead?

Yue stood up suddenly, pulled the bath towel aside to wipe off the blood and water stains on her body, and then grabbed the wound medicine that Tianji gave her, and fell mercilessly at the wound that was still oozing blood.

The pain was like a blunt knife, grinding her nerves one by one.

By the time she had finished treating the last wound, she was already a little numb, but she had bandaged all the wounds roughly.

She exerted so much force that many of the wounds opened again, and the powder and blood were mixed into double the pain.

But it seems that only in this way can she temporarily forget those miserable wails and annoying and disgusting residual thoughts.

When she went out, the white shopkeeper had already returned to the room.

Until she quietly left the White Mansion, she never saw him again.

Sometimes, it's more difficult to face a true friend than a mortal enemy.

At least when she walked out of the White Mansion, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart.

As soon as she went out, the sentry followed.

They don't seem to know what happened last night, and even if they do, most of them will think it's just an ordinary wildfire.

It's dawn, what kind of day will it be?

It's probably going to be another unusual day.

At least the moment she saw Ji Liancheng, she believed her own judgment.

As soon as she left the White Mansion, she couldn't wait to go to Wuren Pavilion, although all the wounds were aching faintly, her whole body seemed to be falling apart, and even the green tendons on her forehead seemed to be hurting from one to the other.

However, she still went to Wuren Pavilion with high spirits, because she couldn't wait to know what kind of day it would be.

The snacks on the table had already been lined up in a straight line, and she deliberately ordered three more portions to form two straight lines.

But he didn't show up until the plates on one of the lines were empty.

Is there something delayed?

Or was what he did discovered?

Or is it just that your parents are stumbling?

A child of his age should be eager to get out of his parents' wings and go out for a while.

That passionate heart is really enviable.

"Click".

Hearing the soft sound of the door opening, a child less than a table tall walked in, his face with a complexity that did not match his age.

"I thought you were stumbling over something."

Yue looked at the familiar boy with a smile, Ji Liancheng had already recovered his stature, and he barely pulled out a smile, but the whole person still looked worried.

"It's too early, it's not easy to get in, so it's been delayed for a while."

"Would you like to get some more to eat?"

"No need. I... ”

Ji Liancheng glanced at the snacks on the table, it seemed that she really remembered what he said last time, but this time his mind was not on these snacks at all.

"If you have something to say, why do you want to spit it out."

“。。。 Was the fire outside the city last night related to Mr. Ping? ”

Yue pretended to look at him profoundly, biting his lip and showing a sad look.

"You're right, there won't be any more Dimensity from now on."

"What?!"

When Ji Liancheng heard this, his face really changed greatly, and he didn't expect to doubt whether Yue's words were true or false.

"What the hell is going on?! Mr. Ping's martial arts are so good, how can he be?! ”

"Be quiet, do you want the whole building to hear it?"

Yue snorted lightly, and Ji Liancheng lowered his voice suddenly, but his face was a little pale, and the whole person looked like he was about to cry.

"Ahem."

It seems that she has gone a little too far with this joke.

Yue coughed uncomfortably, and then whispered.

"Tianji is gone, but your Mr. Ping is still there."

Ji Liancheng was obviously stunned, and after thinking for a long time, he hesitated and said.

"You mean to say ... From now on, there is only Mr. Ping, but the person Tianji no longer exists? ”

"Actually, it can't be said that Tianji is gone, Tianji is not a person in the first place, but your Mr. Ping will only be Mr. Ping in the future."

Ji Liancheng carefully recalled Yue's words, and after a while, he finally understood what he didn't understand, and a hint of joy gradually appeared on his face.

In fact, he didn't quite know what the two words Tianji represented, but since Mr. Ping had to put so much effort into getting rid of these two words, he must have been unwilling to live under these two words anymore.

His wish has finally been fulfilled, shouldn't he be happy for him?

"That... When is he coming back, sir? ”

"It's hard to say."

"And why? Could it be that the gentleman is injured??? ”

The young man really couldn't hold his breath at all, and he didn't even give her a chance to finish speaking, so he couldn't wait to ask so many questions.

He is worthy of being a child who is protected and loved.

If she took advantage of Qi Ping's absence to quietly push this child, would Qi Ping blame her?
