deadly mantra

Chapter 785 If it’s not her, it could be someone else

The night is filled with stars.

A cool breeze swept through the courtyard.

Feng Xiaoyao was dressed in blue clothes and fluttering in the wind. There were tired dark circles under her eyelashes, but she was in good spirits.In the past, he held the sharpest sword in his hand and used the most beautiful and least lethal moves.And now... he is holding the most ordinary wooden sword in his hand. Each move has sharp sword energy and dexterous movement. It already has the courage and air of a martial arts practitioner.

Ruan Jiyue leaned on the pillar in the corridor with a complicated expression.

Shui Qingchen came out of the house and said:

"Brother Feng is making rapid progress."

The smile on Ruan Jiyue's face was a little stiff and she replied:

"In the past, his family hired ten masters for him, and he always had various reasons to avoid going to class. Now, no one is putting pressure on him, and he is working hard."

When she said this, her tone showed emotion and relief, but Shui Qingchen could hear a faint feeling of loneliness.

Ruan Jiyue also immediately realized that her emotions were not right, and opened her mouth to explain. Ji Fanyin happened to come out of the room at this time, and when the words of explanation came to her lips, she blurted out:

"Little sister Fanyin taught him a lot of things that he was unwilling to learn even though his family members tried every means."

Shui Qingchen's eyes passed over Feng Xiaoyao's sword-practicing figure and fell on Ruan Jiyue, showing a faint smile:
"The caged bird is destined to grow from the moment it breaks out of the iron cage. The one who appears at this point in time is not Xiaoyin, but someone else. Therefore, it is not so much that Xiaoyin has an influence on Brother Feng. , it would be better to say that Brother Feng has unconsciously realized that he has passed the age of escaping and it is time to carry something on his shoulders."

Ruan Jiyue's face turned green and white, and she turned her head to look beside her. The dim light in the corridor could not hide Zang Shui Qingchen's handsome and outstanding appearance:

"sorry."

Shui Qingchen's lips were raised in a smile, as if he accepted her apology, but there was no smile in his dark pupils.

A thin layer of cold sweat slowly broke out on Ruan Jiyue's forehead, and her uneasiness became heavier and heavier like a snowball rolling down the mountain.

Shui Qingchen still had a polite and distant smile on her lips, saying, "How long does Miss Ruan think she can protect Brother Feng?"

Hearing the sound, Ruan Jiyue's heart trembled, and a look of grief quickly passed over his face.

When the former glory of the General's Mansion was still there, her heart was wider than the sea and her eyes were higher than the sky.If someone had asked her this question at that time, she would have answered without hesitation: She can protect him for the rest of her life!
It's a pity that her fate was so bad, and everything cruel happened one after another from that day on. She no longer had the skills to take care of him, and she no longer had the ability to protect him like before.

In order to regain the queen's last trust in the general's palace, and to rescue the Ruan family who had become prisoners, with the help of the regent, she volunteered and led a medical team of 20 people to the border town. It took three years and finally Stabilized the cholera epidemic there.

Everyone said that it was Ruan Jiyue who gambled her own life to get the lives of everyone in the Ruan clan.

But only she knew what she lost in this bet.

Ruan Jiyue said seriously:

"I, I will work hard."

The night is warm and cool.

Shui Qingchen said:

"Sometimes, what makes people feel chilling is the inability to do anything after hard work."

The muscles in Ruan Jiyue's cheeks were tense, and the fists clenched at his sides couldn't stop trembling.

She knew the feeling of being powerless.

"Does Miss Ruan understand the principle of being beyond the reach of a whip?" Shui Qingchen glanced over, lowered his voice, and said: "When faced with danger, it is certainly a good thing that you can rush to his side, but in any case, What if it was a step too late? The only thing Brother Feng could rely on at that time was himself."

"I understand..." Ruan Jiyue almost burst out a complete sentence from between her teeth: "...I just can't bear to see him suffer."
