The three of them were ruthless, even if they wanted to kill people with knives. Chen Qi knew that he was helpless, and it was too late to regret it, he couldn't help but have tears shining in the corners of his eyes, and looked at Ruyu, but saw that Ruyu's expression was still faint, and he was so angry that he couldn't even scold the goose, so he just looked at him silently and cried vigorously.

The two thugs didn't hesitate any longer, and the knife was about to fall. It was too late, it was fast, and suddenly for some reason, Chen Qi only heard a "bang" in his ears, like the sound of a rope breaking. Ruyu stood up, only coldly grabbed the knife of the person who came, pinched it into scrap metal, broke away from the person next to him, and then slapped the person on Chen Qi's side. Suddenly, the man slammed into the wall like a kite with a broken string, and a puff of dust kicked up, and he was already bleeding from all seven orifices, and he lost all his breath.

When the other two saw that he was suddenly in trouble, and with just one palm, he knocked the person flying far away, and their faces were immediately frightened, and they hurriedly dropped the things in their hands, and did not pay attention to the accomplice who fell to the ground, and ran away with a lot of fart. Ruyu only had a cold face, and didn't chase them, but untied the rope on Chen Qi's hand and asked her, "Are you okay?" ”

Chen Qi had never seen Ruyu make a move, and he just thought he was a person who had not cultivated. Now it seems that since he follows Xu Huaigu and can still call him a gentleman, he is not without ability. This time to turn the danger into a disaster, if it weren't for Ruyu, I'm afraid the two of them would really have to encounter an accident.

Ruyu saw that she was still dumbfounded, so she wiped her tears with her sleeve and said, "Don't cry, they're all gone." ”

Chen Qi sniffed, put away his tears, and stared at the corner of the wall for a long time before turning to a smile and saying, "Thanks to you, otherwise we would be finished." ”

Ruyu shook her head and gestured not to thank her, but she still frowned, walked to the person who was spread out in the corner of the wall, covered in blood, looked down, and suddenly felt a little at a loss.

Chen Qi walked to him, lowered his head and put his finger on the man's face to probe his nose, only to see that he had completely lost his breath and had no more life. She frowned and said, "It's dead." You deserve it, you dare to fight the idea of the two of us, damn it. ”

But Ruyu was still worried, staring at the man on the ground tightly, without saying a word. He was scared in his heart, he didn't expect the mortal body to be so weak, even though he only used a small part of his strength, he still beat the person to death with one palm. After all, it is a demon beast of the Nine Realms, and its brute strength is really not comparable to mortals, no matter how much he stops, it is not something that a gangster can withstand.

Chen Qi thought that he was still guilty in his heart, so he persuaded: "This person wants to kill us first, since he has the intention of killing, he should naturally have the consciousness of being killed by others." Now that you have ended up like this, you also deserve it, and you can't get over it in your heart. ”

Ruyu sweated on her forehead, pursed her lips tightly, and did not speak.

"It is expected that those two people will not dare to report to the official, let's go back quickly." Chen Qi picked up his saber and pulled Ruyu, but Ruyu didn't move.

"What's wrong with you? Seem nervous? ”

Ruyu held back for a long time before she said confidently: "I once had an agreement with my husband that if I kill or injure someone without his consent, I can't stay with him." ”

Chen Qi was stunned and said, "This shouldn't be nothing, right?" This person provoked us first, and I'll go back and help you and sir. ”

Ruyu lowered her head and pondered for a long time before replying, "Okay, that's the only way." ”

So they left the unknown courtyard and went back to the hill along the road. On the way, Ruyu kept frowning, and Chen Qi accosted: "What realm are you?" Why is it so powerful as soon as it strikes, and the momentum at that moment, I feel similar to the senior brothers. ”

Ruyu shook her head and said, "It's hard to say a few realms, and I don't understand it very well." ”

Chen Qi didn't believe it, and said with a smile: "Then how can you not understand?" The realm is the most important thing for a monk, since you have all cultivated, how can you not know how many realms? I don't think you're going to tell me. Is it also taught by your husband that the realm cannot be easily told to outsiders? But we've known each other for so long, and we're not outsiders, so you can tell me the bottom of it. ”

Ruyu frowned more and more, and said, "Actually, there are some things I haven't told you all along. ”

"What's the matter?"

Ruyu was silent, Chen Qi asked him a few more times before he replied: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I have to get the consent of my husband." What's more, I'm afraid that once I tell you, you'll never play with me again. ”

These words are becoming more and more cloudy. What kind of mind is the little girl, when she thinks about it, she thinks crookedly, and thinks that what he wants to say is between men and women, but she is too shy to say it, which makes Chen Qi laugh so much that she can't stop laughing. Seeing her laughing, Ruyu was confused and asked, "I'm worried about these things, what's so funny about this?" ”

Chen Qi patted him and said with a smile: "Manly man, what can't you say?" I still have to hide it in my heart, I want to say it but I don't dare to say it. Speak up quickly, or I won't spare you. ”

Ruyu shook her head and said, "No, I have made an agreement with my husband before, and I can't tell anyone without his consent." I won't mention these things later, but let's think about how to get through this incident today. ”

Chen Qi still had a smile on his face, and he didn't speak. The two of them were delayed like this, and the time to return to the sect was naturally late, and it was dark, so they walked to the gate of the mountain. The senior brother who was guarding the door was a little dissatisfied, Chen Qi just smiled, said a few words of apology to the man, and pulled Ruyu to still enter the sect. The two went straight back to Xu Huaigu's bamboo building and knocked on the door, but it was rare that Xu Huaigu opened it. As soon as Ruyu saw him, she immediately buried her head very low, and only said "sir", and didn't say anything else.

A few people entered the back room, only to see Yu Qin playing chess with Fan Xuan inside, Xu Huaigu moved a chair and sat on the side of the two to watch chess, at this time Chen Qi and Ruyu came back, and they also sat down next to them.

Seeing that the two were back, Yu Qin turned her face sideways, touched the little girl's head, and asked her with a smile, "Are you still having fun today?" ”

Chen Qi smiled: "It's okay." ”

"Did you buy a chess game?"

Chen Qi shook his head and replied, "The bookstores are closed, and I haven't bought them." ”

"Then why did you come back so late?"

That's just a question. Chen Qi was weak-hearted, so he only smiled wryly and said, "There were a little twists and turns on the road, so I came back late." ”

Yu Qin only smiled, didn't pay attention to it at all, and scared her: "It's good to come back, if you come back later, there are still ghosts in the mountains who want to come out to arrest you." ”

Xu Huaigu caught a glimpse of Ruyu being a little absent-minded, only buried his head low, and didn't answer, he couldn't help but keep an extra eye on it, and asked, "Then what are you doing in the town?" There was a little twist and turn, what happened? ”

Ruyu began to sweat on her forehead. Seeing that he didn't dare to speak, Chen Qi hurriedly said, "Mr. Xu, that's the case. ”

So she told all the things about the gangster who called himself Zhang Da in front of the bookstore, and then how he tricked the two into a courtyard and wanted to kidnap them. Chen Qi naturally wanted to maintain Ruyu, and his rhetoric was inevitably exaggerated. When the two who were playing chess heard that they had encountered such a thing in the town, they stopped playing chess, and they looked at them. Chen Qi's eyebrows danced, and the more he talked, the more energetic he became, but Ruyu buried her head lower and lower.

In the end, the three gangsters said that they would kill the two of them, and Chen Qi stopped talking. Yu Qin was already in a hurry, and hurriedly asked, "What happened later?" How did you come back safely? ”

Fan Xuan echoed: "If you go to the town and encounter such things, it can be seen that people's hearts are sinister. ”

Chen Qi didn't know how to say anything about killing someone, but Xu Huaigu expected a little in his heart, looked at Ruyu who was sweating nervously, and asked, "Did you make a move?" ”

Ruyu listened to Mr. ask him, shuddered, and said, "Mr. Hui, yes." ”

Xu Huaigu frowned and said, "What are you afraid of?" Look up and look at me. ”

Ruyu had no choice but to raise her head and look into Xu Huaigu's eyes. At this moment, Xu Huaigu's eyebrows were furrowed, and he looked at him with scrutinizing eyes, Ruyu only felt like falling into the abyss, and his breathing was not smooth.

Xu Huaigu asked, "Later, you made a move and escaped?" ”

Chen Qi hurriedly replied: "Yes, thanks to Ruyu, otherwise we wouldn't be able to escape!" I have to thank him for this! ”

"And what are you afraid of?"

Ruyu didn't dare to speak.

Xu Huaigu accentuated his tone and said coldly: "Speak." ”

"I'm sorry, sir, I didn't mean to. I broke my promise with you, I ...... I killed someone. ”

As soon as Yu Yu said this, the whole person was like a deflated ball, and he lowered his head again, not daring to look at Xu Huaigu's eyes. Yu Qin was taken aback, opened her mouth slightly, looked at Ruyu, and glanced at Fan Xuan again. Fan Xuan only raised her eyebrows slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

Xu Huaigu had already guessed a few points, his face turned blue with anger, and he asked, "How many have you killed?" ”

"One...... One. ”

"Dare to lie!" Xu Huaigu slapped his palm on the chess game, stood up on the ground, and scolded, "To be honest, how many did you kill?" ”

Ruyu was so anxious that she hurriedly replied, "Mr. Hui, there is really only one." ”

"Nonsense!"

At this time, Chen Qi was also anxious, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Xu, there is really only one, I can testify!" ”

Xu Huaigu took a breath and calmed down a little. Ruyu still didn't dare to raise her head, and Chen Qi hurriedly persuaded: "Sir, those people are the ones who want to attack us first, and Ruyu has no choice but to make a move." If it weren't for him, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to go back to the mountain gate. He can't be blamed for this! ”

Xu Huaigu snorted coldly and said, "If he hadn't gone down the mountain to buy some chess games, how could there be such a thing?" Now that he has a human life, he can't get out of it! ”

Yixi didn't dare to say anything like jade, and Chen Qi didn't know how to persuade him. There was silence in the bamboo building for a moment, and Xu Huaigu slowly said, "Let me out." ”

Ruyu didn't dare to refute at all, stood up silently, lowered her head and walked out.

Chen Qi glanced at Xu Huaigu, then at Ruyu, and said anxiously: "Sir, if you want to blame me, I dragged him down the mountain this morning." It's all mine, if you want to scold, just scold me! ”

Xu Huaigu replied: "If he violates the agreement, he should bear the consequences." Chen Qi, you are not allowed to protect him. ”

Chen Qi hurriedly said: "What agreement?" ”

"I made a pact with him before, that if he kills, I can't keep him here."

When Chen Qi heard this, it was like five thunderbolts, and his brain buzzed.

No wonder Ruyu was so afraid that Xu Huaigu would know about this matter, it turned out that there was such an agreement. Listening to Xu Huaigu's tone, what did he say, "I can't keep him", is it possible to drive him away? If that's the case, it's all your fault. If I hadn't insisted on pulling him down the mountain, if I hadn't easily listened to the bastard's lies, how could things have ended up like this? Chen Qi only felt guilty in his heart.

Ruyu had slowly walked to the door, stopped, and glanced into the room. At that glance, the emotions are complex and difficult to understand, with both remorse and nostalgia, which makes people feel sad. He only glanced at it one last time, put his hand on the doorknob, and prepared to open the door.

Yu Qin couldn't stand it, so she hurriedly stopped him and said, "Ruyu, wait!" ”

Ruyu stopped her movements and looked at Yu Qin a little blankly. Yu Qin smiled at him and said, "It's okay, come back." ”

"Yu Qin." Xu Huaigu's cold voice landed, he seemed to have never spoken to her in such a tone, "You are not allowed to intercede with him." ”

Yu Qin pursed her lips and was silent.

Seeing this, Ruyu knew in her heart that the matter was irreparable, and even if she was reluctant, she couldn't stay. He opened the door, and the night breeze poured in, a little cold.

As if thinking of something, he did not step out of the threshold, but turned around first, bowed to the inner room, opened his mouth slightly, looked at the shape of his lips as if to say "thank you", and then stepped out of the threshold, closed the door, and disappeared into the night.

Chen Qi saw him leaving, glanced at Xu Huaigu again, and saw that his face was as tight as a piece of iron, he couldn't help but stomp his feet in a hurry, and also snatched the door, shouting: "Ruyu, where are you going, wait for me!" ”

There were only three people left in the bamboo building, and the chess pieces on the ground were so quiet that they could hear the pins dropping.

Xu Huaigu lowered her head to pick up the chess pieces, Yu Qin frowned and didn't speak, and Fan Xuan watched this farce silently, and with her identity, she couldn't interject.

After a long time, Yu Qin asked, "What about the good Puyu?" Just smashed like that? ”

Xu Huaigu's movements in his hand stopped, and then he still picked up the chess pieces, and said lightly: "If you smash it, you will smash it." ”
