"Who do you say the man who came to assassinate him tonight?" Jielan stood at the table, poured a full cup of tea, and took a sip.

Qi Xue sat on the edge of the bed, looking very overwhelmed, she smiled awkwardly, and said, "It must have been sent by Kongjing, you see, didn't we meet his subordinates on the way here?" The man must have told him we're in this city, you know, and he wants the blood of the White Devil too, so..."

"Why were you able to unravel the spell of the assassin's 'Hanging Spike'? People of different races can't unravel the spells of other races, can they? Jielan interrupted Qi Xue's words and asked directly.

"Coincidentally, you know that people like us must master many spells that are not within the scope of their own spiritual power, otherwise how can they live." Qixue's pale face looked so panicked.

"Is that so? When I entered Xueling Mountain, you said that you had never seen Chengfeng at all, and you just inherited your father's responsibility to protect Xueling Mountain, but how could you not know each other with him? ”

Qi Xue's right hand trembled, she lowered her head, and her long eyelashes covered her panicked eyes: "Blue, you don't believe me, do you?" ”

"It doesn't matter if I believe it or not, I just want to know what I need to know."

"yes, I'm not qualified to say that you believe me, it's just that I don't want you to be sad."

"Sad?" Jielan seemed to remember that the saddest thing in her life was that on that night of the glowing fire, her beloved mother, her favorite villagers, and her favorite Youyun all left her, and what else could make her sad now, she smiled disdainfully and said, "Then you can tell me what kind of facts will make me sad." There was a hint of hatred in Jielan's words.

"I'm not only the guardian of Snow Spirit Mountain, but my other important identity is actually a demon acolyte."

"Demon Attendant?"

"It's to be by the side of the Blood Demon." Qi Xue smiled self-deprecatingly when he said this, "It's not so much about guarding as waiting, waiting for the day when he becomes a demon." Blood demon is a demon with mysterious power, but although they shed demon blood, there are also good and evil sides of human nature, if he maintains a pure heart all his life, it is naturally good, but if he loses his humanity and loses himself, then the power they have is enough to destroy this world, so our demon clan is guarding their side, once they have demonic nature and start to harm the world, we will use the 'demon sword' to take their lives. Therefore, every blood demon will have a demon acolyte by his side, and I am guarding Chengfeng. Qi Xue's voice trembled a little, and she looked so pitiful with her tears fluctuating, maybe he thought of Chengfeng, thought of their inevitable fate, and thought of the unpredictable future.

Hearing this, Jielan's whole body was paralyzed as if she had been struck by lightning, she stabilized her fallen body, and leaned her hand on the edge of the table: "You once said that I am also a blood demon, then I will also have a demon attendant waiting to take my life at any time, right?" ”

Qi Xue nodded.

"And where is he?"

"I don't know, usually when you're born, he's going to stay with you."

"Born to stay with me?" Jielan thought about her past years, and she could only think of Youyun, maybe Youyun was her own servant, no wonder she would protect herself every time she faced danger, no wonder she was so scared when the white-robed guest invaded that night, because she was afraid that my demon blood would be awakened, and she had to choose to kill me?

Could it be that his best friend was a acolyte who could kill him at any moment, and now he is a blood demon? So were all those times spent together fake? No, no, Youyun is definitely not my acolyte, and he will not kill me one day.

Could it be that one of the only remaining relatives in this world will one day raise a sword against me? Jielan didn't want to think about it anymore.

"Then what about Chengfeng, he is now a demon, why didn't you kill him?"

For a long time, Qi Xue didn't answer, she looked out the window at the night, the moonlight poured down like ripples, reflecting her sad face.

"If you stayed with him for hundreds of years, would you bear to kill him?" Qi Xue asked rhetorically.

Jielan couldn't answer, she closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down for a moment, because it was all like a phantom in the water, and when the wind blew, the ripples that scattered turned it into nothingness.

"I'm not a demon acolyte, so how do I know your choice?" Jielan replied coldly, "You can ask the one just now, didn't she kill him?" ”

"If the specific acolyte of the Blood Demon Demon is not competent, then the other Acolytes of the Blood Demon will be executed under the 'Demon Slaying Sword' along with the Blood Demon and his Acolyte in order to fulfill the Mandate of Heaven, so ......"

Jielan's confined heart exploded like a thunderbolt, she couldn't imagine that Qi Xue would give up her life for Cheng Feng, a murderous and unblinking, cold-blooded and ruthless demon, she looked back at Qi Xue who was as white as the first snow, her thin shoulders trembled slightly, that was she worried about Cheng Feng, she understood why she had to let Cheng Feng sleep with us last night, the purpose was to protect him, the person whose spiritual power was sealed! Jielan sighed, she turned around, but saw a figure reflected in front of the door and window, he was standing behind the door with his back to him, although he couldn't see his face, but with such a posture and such long hair, who else could there be besides him?

The man behind the door may have noticed that Jielan was looking at him, and he paused and walked away.

"What more do you want to ask?" The pain in Qi Xue's heart seemed to make her a different person, losing the joy and laughter of the past.

"Enough!" Jielan doesn't want to let Qi Xue remember the heart-piercing past, although she still has many questions, but she doesn't want to see Qi Xue's sad face, she only wants to let her be coquettish in front of her and laugh wantonly.

And she was too tired, too tired to bear too many facts, she reclined back on the bed, closed her eyes, and said, "I will continue to travel tomorrow, let's rest first!" ”

Qi Xue looked at Jielan's sleeping face, which was an indifferent face, a face like a blue sea covered with ice and snow in winter. In the depths of her heart, there must be an indescribable grief that makes her eyes so deep and pitiful.

Qi Xue suddenly burst into tears, she smiled apologetically and whispered, "Blue, I'm sorry!" ”

The sound disappeared into the night sky, and the cold wind outside the window blew the city alone, as if to bury his wounds and soothe its face.
