Chapter 10: The Puppet Appears (3)
Mu Chengye stood on a tree behind Cangming Mountain, looking at Xie Qian's silhouette in the room, and refused to leave for a long time.
I finally spent so much time alone with her tonight that I couldn't sleep at all when I was excited.
As soon as the smile on his lips was raised, he felt someone approaching behind him. He turned around sharply, and saw a man in a black collared robe kneeling on the ground. His hair was tied in a ponytail and tied high with a black ribbon, and he had a neutral appearance, and the word "Huarong" was engraved on the hilt of his sword at his waist. Seeing Mu Chengye turn his head, he raised his sleeves slightly and bowed his head and said, "Your Excellency." ”
"I asked to see you late at night, but there is news of Abyss Qianqin?" The gentleness on Mu Chengye's face turned into indifference.
Hua Rong didn't raise his head, and said word by word: "After the subordinates learned the news, they asked the kings of the Demon Realm to investigate the situation of their subordinates, and came to the conclusion that no one in the Demon Clan was so bold to come without permission. ”
"Not that bold?" Mu Chengye sneered, stared at him with murderous eyes, and said, "The puppet matter tonight must be a spell from the Demon Realm, could it be that this seat is wrong?!" ”
Hua Rong couldn't help but tremble when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "The subordinates are stupid, but there is an idea that I don't know if you want to hear it?" ”
Mu Chengye raised his eyebrows on one side, and spit out a word with a cold face: "Say." ”
He shuddered again, realizing that this was the expression that only Demon Venerable would have when he was extremely angry. In the hundred years that have followed him, the only one who can make him lose control like this is Xie Qian.
Thousands of good people, it's not good to meet feelings.
Hua Rong took a deep breath, thought about the wording for a moment, and said, "My subordinates feel that there are people from the Immortal Realm who have cultivated the magic of the Demon Realm, so as to blame us for everything." ”
Hearing these words, the expression on Mu Chengye's face softened a little. In fact, he also had this idea, after all, if he could easily break through the barrier of Cangying Mountain, there were only himself and a few kings in the entire demon clan. But the previous fight didn't look like their usual spell at all.
Thinking of this, Mu Chengye's fingers couldn't help but clench. There was a chill in his heart, and he didn't understand who in the fairy world was so vicious to Xie Qian, who was now powerless.
Suddenly, Xie Qian opened the window and poked his head out to look around. Mu Chengye hurriedly dodged his figure behind the tree, and only looked over again when he heard her close the window.
He guessed that Xie Qian was so mysterious, he must be trying to do something. So he waved his hand at Hua Rong, who still wanted to report it, and said, "Hurry up and find Abyss Qianqin, and put other things aside for the time being." ”
"Subordinate......
"Don't belong to it." Mu Chengye interrupted him impatiently, "I still have to be a bodyguard!" With that, he turned over and got off the big tree and slowly walked towards Xie Qian's dormitory.
Hua Rong had a drop of sweat on his forehead, and slowly persuaded him: "Your Excellency, sometimes it's better for women to be a little cold. After saying that, he fled for his life and left on the black cloud.
Mu Chengye's steps paused, and when he looked over suspiciously, there was no trace of Huarong. He frowned, thinking about how to do this "colder".
At this time, Xie Qian didn't know that there were still people outside looking at him, so he just blocked the area around the house with an enchantment before he was relieved. She took off a talisman that hung on the beam of the room and looked at it in her hand.
This is a talisman designed to record what is happening in a room during an hour, so that you can know if any suspicious people have entered the room, even if they are not in the room. Because it hardly takes any spiritual power to draw this kind of talisman, it won't attract anyone's attention.
After making sure that the enchantment was firm, Xie Qian pinched the trick and released the picture.
The picture shows the time period after Xie Qian turned over and left the room, which made her look forward to it. Just stared at the picture and watched the time of a stick of incense, and no one in the house came. Xie Qian yawned, thinking that maybe everyone was asleep, and nothing should happen.
Just as she was drowsy, about to speed up the talisman screen, her fingers suddenly stopped.
In the picture, a dark figure rolls over into his window and looks around. Xie Qian's eyes couldn't help but enlarge, that black shadow turned out to be Mu Chengye!
He didn't have the gentle appearance of the past, and his eyes were cold and the same as the Demon Venerable.
Xie Qian trembled slightly, and continued to look without blinking.
Mu Chengye walked around the room and didn't find any trace of Xie Qian, and seemed to be a little anxious. He pinched a trick, and countless bamboo leaf butterflies immediately flew out of his palm.
The bamboo leaf butterfly flew out of the window, flew back after a while, flew around Mu Chengye for a while, and then disappeared as green smoke.
Mu Chengye seemed to ponder for a while, and then turned over and walked out of the window.
Xie Qian swallowed his saliva and continued to watch, but nothing was recorded in the back picture.
Her face was extremely pale, and she was still immersed in the picture and couldn't come back to her senses. Suddenly thinking of what those evil spirits said tonight, I suddenly understood the meaning of this "fox fake tiger might"!
Co-author: He's been lying to himself?!
Still in a daze, there was a sudden knock on the door outside, and Xie Qian subconsciously took the talisman into his arms and opened the door. Outside the door, Mu Chengye stood there smiling at her, so frightened that she almost fell to the ground.
Mu Chengye quickly grabbed her arm and said anxiously, "Sister, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay." Xie Qian hurriedly withdrew his hand, and couldn't help but take two steps back and asked casually, "What's the matter with coming to me so late?" ”
Mu Chengye's eyes rolled, and he said with a well-behaved smile: "Of course, it's because the injury on my hand hurts a little, and I want to ask my sister if there is any painkiller." As he spoke, his eyes glancing into the room. He breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure there was no one else.
You still need painkillers!
Xie Qian sighed secretly in her heart, there was always a feeling that she was a rabbit being targeted by a tiger. She quietly took a step back again and said slowly, "You wait, I'll get you medicine." With that, he immediately turned around and entered the room.
Mu Chengye obviously noticed her nervousness, and walked in with curiosity.
Xie Qian pretended to be looking for medicine on the table, and quietly pulled out the hairpin from the middle of the bun and held it in his hand. She told herself that she only had one chance, and if she missed it, she was afraid that she would have to be reincarnated again.
"Sister, isn't it hard to find?" Mu Chengye suddenly spoke.
Xie Qian was taken aback, and squeezed out a smile and said, "It's not easy to find." ”
"But this table has an unobstructed view, what is my sister looking for?" Mu Chengye debunked her.
Xie Qian took a deep breath, turned around abruptly and stabbed it with a spirit hairpin. A powerful evil aura condensed on it, slamming into the tables and chairs in the entire room, crackling and falling to the ground.
A strong light flashed, and Xie Qian's face became more and more pale. The hairpin she stabbed out with all her might was easily clamped by Mu Chengye's two fingers.
He stared at Xie Qian with a pair of fox eyes inquiringly, and then still gently held the spirit hairpin into his hand, and said unhurriedly: "Sister, hasn't your spiritual power disappeared, how can you have such a powerful mana?" ”
Xie Qian had never been so scared when he looked at the terrifying little words in the mortal world, but his face was still plain and indifferent: "That, I'm just good and bad." ”
"Then why did my sister attack me suddenly?" Mu Chengye put away his smile, so that Xie Qian finally knew what it meant not to be angry and self-assured.
She felt that she was going to die now, so she simply gave up the struggle. Her legs were a little weak, she casually found a seat and sat down, holding her head and getting straight to the point: "Cheng Ye, no, Lord Demon Venerable, the little woman really only wants to live the life of an ordinary person, and she doesn't want to destroy the Demon Realm, so can you raise your hand and not worry about the little woman?" ”
When Mu Chengye heard this, his brows furrowed fiercely, and he asked tentatively, "You, do you know everything?" ”
Xie Qian didn't know how to explain, so he simply handed him the talisman in his arms and said slowly: "I saw it clearly just now." ”
Mu Chengye recognized that this was a commonly used guardian talisman in the demon world, and sighed helplessly: "I see." ”
"That Demon Venerable, do you still want Hanhai's Condensation Lamp?" Xie Qian asked.
Mu Chengye was annoyed by this call, and shook his head and said, "The Abyss Qianqin is really not my possession, and I didn't even think about unlocking the seal of Qitian. ”
Xie Qian raised his head to meet Mu Chengye's eyes, the sincerity in his eyes didn't look like a lie at all. For some reason, she always felt very confident in him.
After a moment of silence, she spoke again: "Then if I ask you some questions, will you answer me?" ”
I thought it would be rejected, but I didn't expect Mu Chengye to be very frank: "Yes." ”
Xie Qian glanced at him and said, "Sheng Xu, Neiyuan Jindan and Linglu, are you responsible?" ”
"No, it's the same person who stole the Abyss Chikoto." Mu Chengye said.
This answer was similar to what Xie Qian had guessed, and she continued, "You approached me to steal my Inner Yuan Golden Pill, right?" ”
"Never thought of it that way." Mu Chengye seemed a little nervous, worried that she didn't believe in herself.
Xie Qian thought about it carefully, and then asked, "Will you hurt the fairy world?" ”
Mu Chengye raised his hand and swore: "Unless they hurt you, I won't take the initiative to hurt them." ”
It is enough to have this phrase.
Xie Qian seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "You have revealed your identity, are you ready to leave here?" ”
"Not really." Mu Chengye curled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "And I also hope that you can continue to help me hide my identity and investigate these recent things with me." ”
Xie Qian frowned dissatisfiedly: "Why?" She had always hated trouble the most, and she was very unhappy with this proposal.
Mu Chengye approached Xie Qian, looked down at her and said slowly: "Because you pretend that your spiritual power has disappeared, I won't tell others." ”
Despicable, actually threatening!
Xie Qian gritted her teeth, and in order not to cause more trouble, she could only agree.
Mu Chengye pinned the hairpin to Xie Qian in his bun, and said gently: "Do you have any other questions?" ”
Seeing her nodding, Mu Chengye motioned for her to continue asking. Xie Qian let go a lot when he got the promise, and asked the question he cared about the most: "Why do you think of a Demon Venerable called Mu Chengye, it sounds so gentle, and there is no domineering spirit of the Demon Venerable at all!" ”
Mu Chengye rolled his eyes at her for the first time, and said, "When my mother gave birth to me, she didn't expect that I would become a Demon Venerable!" ”
