The villain killed the master. What? I am the master!

Chapter 171 Cracks and Barriers

Jiang He felt like he was facing the trolley problem.

There is a switch in front of you. If you choose to press it, the tram will disrupt the relationship between master and apprentice and drive towards a chaotic and unclear direction.

If you choose not to press the button, the tram will run on the track properly, but from then on, there will be no possibility of going off the track.

The moonlight shines on the girl's hair, bringing a hint of divinity and majesty.

But her pupils did not ignite with golden flames, they were still clearly black and white, hiding an unusual stubbornness.

The aggressive look did not last long. Her pair of black eyes were filled with tears at some point. She looked at Jiang He's silent expression, seeming to understand his thoughts.

My eyelids almost drooped, squeezing out the tears.

She tried to open her eyes wide and waited stubbornly for an answer.

For a moment, Jiang He almost blurted out: He admitted that he didn't dare to say it.

But Jiang He finally held back. He suddenly felt unprecedented panic, as if he was falling into an abyss.

As I fell, the sound of my heart beat against my eardrums again and again, reaching the abyss and echoing throughout the sky.

The memories of the two lives blended in a contradictory way.

Before his memory came back to him, he was just a newly graduated virgin college student.

Even if the Xuanhuang Pearl had no effect on lust, he would inevitably have other thoughts when facing a beautiful girl who relied on him wholeheartedly.

The memories of the immortal world in this life are more like immersive video recordings.

For him, these memories are particularly distant.

As a result, other thoughts still exist, but the memories of this life cannot be ignored.

Before these videotapes were played, he had no psychological burden in his contact with Bai Minxin.

But now, after his past memories gradually came back to him, he clearly remembered: a lively little kid grew into a graceful young girl.

With the memory of her growing up together for nearly ten years, his feelings towards this girl have changed.

There is more family affection mixed with guilt from this life.
This sudden feeling created an untraceable rift between the two of them.

The ethics and morals of his previous life bound him like chains, making it even more difficult to cross the gap.

Jiang He understood that Bai Minxin was revealing her inner feelings to him.

This girl has always been so decisive, so decisive that she always catches me off guard.

Never drag your feet, whether it is a life-and-death crisis or love-hate relationship.
Even though I may be afraid and uneasy, I never hesitate.

This is exactly what he likes.

Doesn't Minxin have her own complicated thoughts? For her, revealing her true feelings is even more challenging.

But this girl will never be stopped by obstacles.

In the past, when facing the threat of Lin Chi, even I, who was well versed in the original text, was deeply confused about whether I could kill Lin Chi.

But even though Lin Chi had the Xuanhuang Pearl which was like a natural enemy to her, despite her young age, she had a determination that shocked Jiang He.

"Even if Jin'er is here, Minxin wants to know the answer, no matter what the result is. Even if Master doesn't care, Minxin will go back to being a law-abiding disciple."

As she said these words, the expression on her face became fragile, no longer having the slightest bit of the majesty she had previously.

The tears finally flowed out.

Jiang He envied her decisiveness, but since his disciple could express her inner thoughts regardless of the consequences, he, as their master, had a lot to consider.

It's not just the shackles on his own body, but also... Does he really want to control Min Xin's life?

Does Minxin understand what love is?
Her world is very small, so small that it only consists of him and her senior and junior sisters.

She has never had close contact with other people, so it is normal for her to have misunderstandings about her relationship with the master who takes care of her.

It might even be the Stockholm syndrome that's triggered.

This feeling is too morbid.

The two of them have indeed been through a lot, countless life-and-death crises, and mutual dependence in times of trouble.
If Minxin knew that he was not the old Jiang He, it would not be difficult for Jiang He to understand the deterioration of their relationship.

But she knows the problem
He didn't want Minxin to be shrouded in distorted and misunderstood emotions all her life.

He is not only Jiang He now, but also her master.
Jiang He heard his own voice was very calm and teasing. He said:
"Minxin, you are my disciple. If anyone forcefully kisses you, Master will definitely take care of it for you. But if you are willing, Master will also bless you."

After saying this, Jiang He's heart sank, as if he had lost something important.

I opened my mouth subconsciously, but said nothing.

This is probably the best answer.

He cannot be selfish, and he cannot be selfish.

Time seemed to stop at this moment, and I don’t know how long it stayed frozen.

The white-haired girl wiped her tears with her hands, forced a smile on her face, and sobbed:

"Master is so kind. No one will dare to bully Min Xin anymore."

Jiang He didn't know how much effort she put into saying the previous words, and how much effort she put into acting as if nothing had happened.

He smiled, not daring to look at her fragile appearance, and looked at the way back.

As if trying to convince himself, he said softly:
"Susu is still waiting for us at home, let's go back first. But I am your master, and it is natural for me to protect my apprentice."

"Yeah!" Bai Minxin nodded heavily, moving stiffly and almost tripped.

Jiang He felt a pain in his chest when he saw her dazed look, but he could only touch Jin'er's head in vain.

If Jin'er had not kissed him, would what happened today never have happened?

He smiled bitterly. If he didn't make a decision, he would suffer the consequences.

Perhaps it would be better to confess in advance. At least he and Min Xin have not fallen into that inescapable vortex.

"Master."

Jiang He's heart was lifted again, with an inexplicable sense of anticipation, but the white-haired girl's next words made his heart sink again: "Why? Why does the master want to protect his apprentice?"

"Because Minxin is still young."

"Min Xin is hundreds of years old, maybe even older than Master."

The white-haired girl put her hands behind her back, turned her head playfully and winked at him.

It's as if nothing happened.

"Humph, little girl, this is different."

A faint melancholy came over me. This girl has always been very decisive, much more decisive than myself.

Boom-Boom-
The noon bell rang and the sun was high in the sky.

Jiang He hadn't slept for so long in a long time, and he had many dreams.

He dreamed that Min Xin was trapped in twisted emotions all his life, just like the yandere girl in the novels of his previous life.

But when he sees yandere characters in novels, he will enjoy them very much.

But he didn't want to see Min Xin become a yandere. With such a sick feeling, how could she still be considered a normal person?
Jiang He leaned against the head of the bed and breathed a sigh of relief.

At least this time, he no longer wanted to manipulate their lives, but tried to let go.

“Stinky Jiang He, you bastard!”

Jiang He's mind was still a little groggy. He glanced over and saw a blonde girl with her hands on her hips, looking at him angrily. Although he knew that he had hurt Su Su's heart yesterday, he just felt very bored now and didn't know how to face her.

Feng Susu pursed her lips. Damn Jiang He!

She didn't even know how she got through last night. She just sat there stupidly, like the old eunuch in the scripture library of the imperial palace.

I kept trying to keep a straight face and pretend to be calm so that Jiang He would know that I didn't care at all.

However, he was just like that old eunuch, strong on the outside but weak on the inside. He seemed to be very capable on weekdays, but he died with blood coming out of all his orifices after being lightly pointed at by the Snake Lord.

She still couldn't help crying, but fortunately, she started crying very early and they came back very late.

By the time they came back, I no longer had the energy to cry, so I didn't lose the little face I had.

They clearly promised to bring me Hezhou crispy candies, but they actually forgot about it.

And when I came back, I was too lazy to talk to myself and just went to sleep.
If she hadn't cried until she ran out of tears, she wouldn't have known how embarrassed she would have been.
"Shh."

The blonde girl opened the curtains on her own, and the strong sunlight outside the window made Jiang He unable to open his eyes.

He simply covered his head with the quilt, turned over and continued to sleep.

"Dead Ginger River, Stinky Ginger River"

The girl's mumbling gave Jiang He a headache. He thought Feng Susu was looking for him to settle the score, so he could only endure it.
"Hey." She hesitated for a moment, sat down on the bed, patted Jiang He's head casually, and said nonchalantly:

"Is it that serious? Isn't it just that your eldest disciple left? We will meet again sooner or later. You are a real man, why are you like this?"

She had never seen Jiang He act like this before, covering his head with a quilt in the middle of the day, how disgraceful!

But my heart suddenly softened.

Feng Susu sighed in distress. She had never comforted anyone before.

After stamping her feet in anger, she suddenly stretched out her hands and pulled Jiang He's quilt hard, her face flushed red: "Hey, get up! I...I want to eat! Cook for me! I really like the food you cook."

This idiot.
Jiang He sighed helplessly, but couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

He suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm. Feng Susu was still smiling smugly at this time:

"Are you happy? But, you are still a little bit worse than the chefs in the palace. You have to work harder to satisfy me. But, I can teach you later, okay?"

Jiang He suddenly exerted force with his palms and easily pulled her petite body onto the bed.

The expression on her face froze for a moment, and she quickly used her other hand to protect her body: "Jiang He, what are you doing!"

"Didn't you say you would teach me? It's the same if I teach you now."

Jiang He looked at her with a wicked smile, and rolled up the quilt, covering her golden head and body.

He leaned against the head of the bed and patted the bulging spherical object under the quilt: "Why don't you teach me?"

The delicate body that had been struggling suddenly collapsed there like a dead fish, not moving at all.

Jiang He was puzzled, so he opened the quilt a little and looked inside.

In the dark quilt, a little face with a red nose from crying suddenly appeared in front of me.

Her red and swollen eyes looked at Jiang He fiercely: "You bullied me again"

"Susu." Jiang He touched her cold little face in panic. She quickly slapped it away and said unhappily, "Don't touch me. It's disgusting."

Only then did Jiang He realize that Feng Susu's voice sounded a little hoarse, and her red and swollen eyes were obviously not caused by crying just now.

It seems that I was really wronged last night.
"Okay, Susu, let me explain it to you."

Jiang He felt guilty and shrank back into the quilt, holding her shoulders.

"I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen! You just don't want me to celebrate the festival with you, I know! And I don't care!"

The dead golden fish suddenly came back to life and started flapping its wings again.

The two thin legs kept kicking him, and he covered his ears with his hands, looking unmoved.

"Ouch."

Hearing Jiang He's scream, she stopped moving immediately and looked up at him cautiously:
"Jiang He? What's wrong with you?"

"It hurts so much. Susu, help me check here to see if there is bleeding." Jiang He frowned and pointed under his body.

"You're trying to trick me again"

Feng Susu muttered, her face full of suspicion.

I secretly glanced under the quilt, but it was pitch black and I couldn't see clearly.

She thought about it, then released her hands that were covering her ears and touched them tentatively.

这 是
"Jiang He, you pervert!"

The blonde girl's face flushed, but Jiang He had already grabbed her hand that was trying to escape, looked at her seriously, and said with a smile:

"Can you listen to my explanation now?"

He knew that even if Feng Susu covered her ears, she could still hear what he said.

But I still want to explain the misunderstanding.

"It's up to you. Anyway."

They're trying to deceive me anyway.
Feng Susu didn't say the rest and responded sullenly.

"You still remember when I brought Yuan Xia back. I told you that I was sick, but it was actually because Yuan Xia was not very good at socializing. From the rumors about the Son of Good Law, you can find that Yuan Xia rarely shows up in front of outsiders. At that time, it was because Yuan Xia met too many people and was not feeling well."

Jiang He thought about it and told Yuan Xia part of the situation.

He originally didn't want to tell anyone about Yuan Xia's affairs. After all, this was Yuan Xia's privacy.

But if I don't tell this girl now, she will bear a grudge against me for the rest of her life.

Jiang He carefully considered his words and only talked about some unimportant things.

"So, you were trying to sneak up on me? I thought you really didn't want to go."

Feng Susu listened and was somewhat incredulous.

I didn’t expect that the Holy Son of Good Dharma is not good at socializing!
But is Jiang He deceiving himself?
She still felt a little upset.

"Time was tight. I wanted to go with you, but you didn't want to. And we met Yuehua on the way. You also understand the conflict between Yuanxia and Yuehua. We couldn't take care of other things at that time."

Jiang He felt a little guilty. He had promised to bring Hezhou crispy candies to Su Su. He added:
"But I brought you a lantern, which I bought before I met Yuehua."

".Okay, I'll believe you this time."

Feng Susu has always been worried that Min Xin and the others have something against her.

Now that I think about it, when they came back, even Jin'er looked a little depressed.

If it was because of meeting Yuehua, Feng Susu could understand it.

After all, the three sisters have a deep relationship, so they would naturally worry about their senior sister.

But why does Jiang He refuse to touch his phoenix tattoo?

Feng Susu suddenly turned over, turned her back to Jiang He, and remained silent.
