Chapter 623: Washing the Dust and Asking the Heart
Lin Xi was obviously stunned for a moment, probably never imagined such a scenario.
After a long while, she said in a deep voice: "If there is really that day, I will find the murderer and avenge you!" Whether the murderer is a Futu Sect or not, I will carry on your will and take it as my mission to destroy the Futu Sect until the day I die, or the Futu Sect is destroyed! β
Her expression was solemn and solemn, as if she was making a sacred vow.
Jiang Chen looked at the resolute look in her eyes, and a wave of emotion surged in her chest, as if a trace of warm current slowly swam through her body, washing away most of the coldness of these days.
He smiled and said, "My hatred should not reach you, if that day comes, I hope you don't do stupid things, let go of those heavy burdens, and live your life well." β
Lin Xi asked rhetorically, "Do you think there is any difference between living in that mood and the walking dead?" β
Her face straightened, "Instead of teaching me a lesson with such words, you should protect yourself." If you die, not only me, but many people will be unhappy! β
"I ...... I see. Jiang Chen sighed silently, stared at the beautiful girl in front of him, and gently stroked her face with his hand, "I will try to live as long as possible." β
Hearing this negative speech, Lin Xi's heart trembled inexplicably, and said, "Do you have any plans?" Or do you have some bad premonitions? β
"No, it's just that I've experienced a lot of things in the past two days, and I'm just a little emotional."
Lin Xi said in a deep voice: "I hope you remember that although the ceremony has not been completed, we have already made an oath under the three-life tree, and I am your fiancΓ©e, which has become a fact." Although we can't accept people's blessings, we also share life and death, and share weal and woe! If there's anything dangerous you're going to face, be sure to tell me! β
"I will."
Lin Xi's brows stretched slightly, and he moved closer to his face, and his delicate lips gently pecked Jiang Chen's face, and then parted again.
"It's getting dark, let's go back."
"Okay."
By the time I got back to Kinfuin, it was completely dark.
When the two people entered the courtyard, they separated, one went to the west chamber, and the other went back to the east chamber, and each of them tidied up.
Jiang Chen went back and saw that An Yunsleeve was already asleep, so he took a change of clothes by himself and went to the bath in the south hall.
As a bathing place for distinguished guests, the decoration of the south hall is not without luxury.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw the hot air full of the house, and a fragrance of plants and trees seeped out of the pool water, refreshing people's hearts and spleens, and had the effect of invigorating blood and nourishing the spirit.
The water is covered with flower petals, and fresh heat bubbles up to keep the water temperature at a steady level.
Jiang Chen was overjoyed when he saw it, waved off the maid, and threw himself into the pool.
The heat permeates the whole body, washing away the dirt of the day. Jiang Chen turned over and lay on his back on the water, rising and falling with the waves in the hot air, only feeling comfortable all over his body, and almost wanted to sleep like this.
He closed his eyes, stretched his limbs, and lay down for a carefree time, when he suddenly noticed someone approaching in a half-asleep and half-awake state.
The person who came was very high, and he didn't leak half of the movement, and he silently approached within five feet of him.
Until this time, Jiang Chen still couldn't sense her breath, if it weren't for the martial saint intuition in the dark that made his heart suddenly move, I'm afraid that person wouldn't let him notice it all the time he came to him.
Of course, this is also because the person has no malicious intentions, and on the other hand, it is also with the help of the cover of white fog and water sound that can cause such a magical effect.
Jiang Chen opened his eyes, most of his body shrank into the water, guessing her intentions in his heart, and did not speak.
When Yun Su heard the sound of the splash, he knew that his line of hiding was exposed, and he sighed lightly and said, "The Martial Saint Realm is really amazing!" β
Jiang Chen leaned against the shore, tilted his head slightly, and said, "Su'er, why are you here?" β
Yun Su looked at him a little nervous, and smiled: "Don't worry, no one will see me come in." β
Jiang Chen still couldn't rest assured, and said, "Are you here ......?"
"I'd like to talk to you alone." Compared to him, Yun Su seemed much more natural, and walked to a square stone by the pool and sat down, looking at him with pure eyes without impurities, "Let's talk about what happened in the past few days." β
"Now? Not suitable, right? β
"It's really not suitable, but your fiancΓ©e looks at you very closely, and the only chance I can have to be alone with you is now." Yun Su exhaled helplessly, "Since that eldest lady came here, her eyeliner has been everywhere, probably only this place, her ears and eyes can't reach it for the time being. β
"Okay." Jiang Chen's expression was still unnatural, "Why don't you avoid it first, and I'll go up and talk to you later." β
"Brother Chen, I can't see that you are still shy." Yun Su curled the corners of his mouth and teased disapprovingly, "Last time outside the Holy City, when you watched the sunrise with that woman surnamed Ling, I could see it almost the same. Isn't it too late to cover it up? β
Without waiting for Jiang Chen to speak, she waved her hand again, "Don't worry, I'll talk to you about business, I won't just look at it!" β
"That'...... All right. Jiang Chen turned his back to her slightly and said, "What do you want to talk about?" β
"A lot, from Zhong Li crossing the line to Jiuying coming out of the mountain, this series of conspiracies is scary just to think about! If we don't figure these things out, my mother and I won't be able to sleep well! Yun Su leaned down and pinched a petal on the surface of the water, her long hair hanging down to hide the sadness in her eyes, "It's ridiculous that we know that this is indispensable to the credit of the Lord of the Qing Hades Palace, but we still have to treat his daughter as a guest, and we don't dare to neglect ...... at all."
Even if Jiang Chen didn't look at her face, he knew that she must be full of resentment at the moment.
He said softly and comfortingly: "After all, the Lord of the Green Hades Hall still has some scruples, and he doesn't dare to completely tear his face. After this period of time, Shen Lingfeng will soon be able to free his hands......"
"Don't count on him!" Yun Su snorted lightly, "He's already cut off with Xingyuewu. Hehe, 'If we meet in the future, we will be the enemy of life and death'! You were there when he said that, right? β
"That being said, there's no way he's really abandoning your mother and daughter. What's more, even if he doesn't care about his personal feelings, just from the perspective of the world, he will not sit back and watch the Qing Ying Sect annex the Panlong Palace. β
Yun Su was silent for a while, and with two tender fingers, he twisted a powder petal from the water, put it to his mouth and blew it gently, "Whew......"
She watched the petal fall back into the water and said with a faint disdain, "You think too highly of him." In terms of swordsmanship, there may not be many people in the world who are his opponents, but when it comes to vertical and horizontal battles and the world, he is still just a stunned young man. The Holy City is now in a mess, and the throne of the new Son of Heaven has not yet been secured, and he is already too busy to take care of himself, how can he have the idle affairs of the Dragon Palace. β
"But ......"
Jiang Chen was about to speak, but he saw Yun Su waving his hand and said, "I'm not here to complain to you, and you don't have to say these words to comfort me." Panlong Palace has never belonged to me, and it is not up to me to decide where it will go. It's just that I'm naturally curious, and I'm especially interested in yesterday's events, so I'm here to find you, hoping that you can help me answer a few questions. β
She leaned forward even more, and a strange fragrance different from the aroma of plants and trees seeped into Jiang Chen's nostrils, making him can't help but take a deep breath, "Don't worry, it won't embarrass you." If you don't want to answer, you can skip to the next question. β
Jiang Chen half-leaned against the wall of the pool, smelled the fragrance around him, squinted his eyes comfortably, and said, "You ask, as long as I know, I will definitely tell you." β
Yun Su leaned closer, lowered her voice, and said softly: "I don't know how much Miss Lin told you about the incident yesterday, but at least, she should have given you an explanation about the culprit who woke up the Nine Infants, right?" β
"She said it was Bei Feng Dan and Ziping." At the mention of that name, Jiang Chen's expression became slightly strange, and he turned his face away, and saw that Yun Su's eyes also flashed with embarrassment, "The original plan was to steal the power of the Nine Babies and use it to rescue the Demon Emperor, but something went wrong halfway, Ziping was eaten by the Nine Babies and lost his mind......"
"Rescue the Demon Emperor...... Hmph, that's a big deal! Yun Su sneered coldly and said sarcastically, "In this way, I should feel sorry for them!" β
"Of course, the Lord of the Green Hades Hall will not be so enthusiastic, just like the resurrection of the Blood Sword Saint at the beginning, he should have laid down his back hand early, just wait for the Demon Emperor to get out of trouble, and then bring it under control as soon as possible. Fortunately, his plan did not go well. β
"In this way, Panlong Palace is just piggybacking." Yun Su pursed her lips, and there was a vein and soft light flowing under her eyes, "Then Zhong Li and Ye Hua are probably just two useless abandoned sons in the eyes of that hall master, right?" As long as he controls the Demon Emperor, the Panlong Palace and the Demon Realm will naturally fall into his hands, and at that time, the southern Xinjiang will be divided, and the world will be divided into three, what a grand plan! Pity! Pity! β
She looked at Jiang Chen and smiled toothily, "Brother Chen, you originally had a chance to become a colt!" β
"It's a pity, the glory and wealth just passed by." Jiang Chen laughed self-deprecatingly, "Then again, if the Lord of the Green Hades Palace just wants to be the emperor, then it's nothing, the emperor will always have someone to do it." But my concern is that his purpose is not so simple. β
"Do you notice that too? I just wanted to ask you, did your fiancΓ©e mention the case of the Nether Cult's collapse more than ten years ago? β
Jiang Chen was just about to answer, when his expression suddenly changed slightly, and he sensed that another master had quietly walked into this small hall - the breath was perfectly integrated with the environment, and the footsteps were all absorbed by the strange treasure, without causing the slightest uncoordinated fluctuation, if it weren't for the martial saint's intuition, he wouldn't know it at all.
- It's a mirage! It's Lin Xi here!
He turned his face to warn Yun Su, but Yun Su had already noticed it.
She propped herself up, hesitated, probably not wanting to see someone she hated in such a scene, and looked around, trying to find a place to hideβbut there was nothing else in the small hall except for the screen that entered the door, and although the water vapor was thick, it was also looming, and it was impossible to hide people completely.
Jiang Chen was also a little anxious, if Lin Xi was allowed to see this kind of scene, he didn't know how many incidents would occur. He also looked around, helping Yun Su find a hiding place, but he couldn't find a good place for a while, and felt Lin Xi's breath getting closer and closer, and shouted in a hurry: "Ah Xi, is it you?" β
At the same time as he spoke, there was a slight splash.
Jiang Chen turned his head to see that Yun Su had disappeared, and there were ripples on the water next to him, and the petals were also gathering in that direction, blocking the underwater situation-
His mood sank dramatically.
But at this time, there was no time to think about whether Yun Su would see anything under the water, so he had to deal with another uninvited guest first.
"It's me." Lin Xi's footsteps didn't pause, and walked straight around the screen, "I heard that you've been in there for a long time, so I wondered if you fell asleep in the water." β
"I ...... I'll be out right away, so you can wait outside for a while. Jiang Chen said.
Lin Xi was stunned: "Did I disturb you?" β
"No, but I just finished washing."
"It's comfortable in the hot water, isn't it? Don't soak for a while? Lin Xi stretched his neck to look this way, his slightly red face was mixed with a bit of eager anticipation.
"No, it's been a long time, and the skin is wrinkled."
"Oh." Lin Xi hesitated, but still walked inside, "I'll help you wipe the water and change your clothes......
Jiang Chen hurriedly refused: "No need, I'll do it myself!" β
In a hurry, he spoke very quickly, and when the words fell, he also saw Lin Xi's body trembling as if frightened, and then froze there, without moving for a long time.
Jiang Chen realized that his tone was a little heavy at this time, his eyes fell on the snow-white and flawless face, stared for a while, his lips moved, and the words came to his lips, but he couldn't say them.
Lin Xi stood in place, his face flashed with complex emotions such as confusion, anger, resentment, shame, and anger, and his eyes slowly turned red.
Jiang Chen also lowered his head, unwilling to look at her.
There was an embarrassing moment of silence in the hall.
After a while, Lin Xi spoke: "You...... Are you tired of me? β
She spoke in a nasal voice, looking like she wanted to cry, which made Jiang Chen's heart become uncomfortable.
"That's not what I meant." Jiang Chen hurriedly explained, "I'm not used to letting others serve, it's better to come by myself...... What's more, your status is so honorable......"
"No matter how noble my status is, isn't it your wife?" Lin Xi almost shouted out this sentence, his excited face was still full of incomprehension and loss, tears were already rolling in his eyes, and they were about to surge out at any time, "Don't think I can't see it, you are clearly resisting me!" It's been two days since I've been here, and you haven't touched me! β
"I-" Jiang Chen almost couldn't help but get up, but fortunately he kept his senses at the last moment, "I didn't ...... Alas! It's hard to put it into words......"
"What a sigh! I haven't seen you for so long, do you only sigh to me? Lin Xi's body trembled even more, and even if he tried his best to control his emotions, his voice was trembling, "You still said that you didn't treat me as an outsider!" Even if you have any troubles, can't you tell me? β
After she finished speaking, she turned around and said coldly: "If you think it's better to rot in your heart, and you'd rather sigh alone, I won't force it." Just because I haven't been here! β
Jiang Chen was still reminiscing about the last glance she cast, only to feel that the glance was full of murderous aura, and when he heard Lin Xi's footsteps about to leave, he hurriedly shouted, "Ah Xi! β
