My enemies became my companions

Chapter 146 Are you jealous?

An unknown snowstorm fell in the capital city. Cold wind blew into the Min family’s yard, making the word “Min” even colder.

"grandfather."

When Min Ning returned home, he felt a heavy sigh of relief.

Min He sat on a chair in the hall, looking straight at his granddaughter.

After a long while, he said:

"Ming'er has told me the whole story. Grandpa doesn't blame her. Grandpa only blames himself and your father for being incompetent."

Min Ning didn't say anything for a moment, just stood there.

"Ning'er..."

The former Jinyiwei pacification envoy pondered for a long time.
"Return to the shore."

Min Ning did not answer and remained standing.

Her grandfather had already stood up, pacing with his hands behind his back, saying:
"If you don't want the knife back, then don't ask for it back. Grandpa knows you have concerns, but Grandpa can't bear to see you trust the wrong person. Not to mention that you are a woman disguised as a man, even if you are not a woman disguised as a man, that person is definitely not a good person. He once served the Lin Party, and then turned against it. It sounds good to say that he is loyal to the country, but in fact he is ungrateful.

Moreover, Ming'er also said: He has a lot of bad news. He has taken concubines before marrying a wife, and has been involved with many women. To put it bluntly, even if you marry him in a formal way, where is the yard left for you in his house?"

The words that were relayed by his sister and Min He's earnest expression were like soft knives stabbing at his body.

Min Ning suddenly felt like a heavy weight was lifted off his shoulders.

After a long while, she finally spoke in a hoarse voice:

"He's not as bad as my sister said, and I wasn't...completely forced."

Min He turned around, looked at his granddaughter who had already been given a name, and said in a heavier voice:

"Your sister had already predicted what you said!"

She was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.

After laughing, she said slowly:
"But, Grandpa... what can I do now? He is a fifth-rank martial artist, and will be included in the Spring and Autumn Register. He has also been favored by the Heavenly Family. No one can stop him. What do you think I should do?"

Min He sighed deeply. He sat in the hall and pondered for a long time.

Deathly silence suddenly descended upon the dim Min residence along with the light snow.

"Leave Beijing."

After a long time, Min He uttered a word.

Min Ning suddenly looked up and looked at his grandfather in surprise.

"At this point, the only way out is to leave Beijing. The farther away from here, the better."

Min He's voice was deep.

"Where else can I go if I leave Beijing?"

Min Ning couldn't help but said excitedly.

"Shushan."

"Why Shushan?"

Min He looked at her and explained word by word what she had never known.
"When you were born, a nun came to our home to beg for alms. She prayed for you and left a prophecy: You are both a dragon and a phoenix, and your life will be in Mount Shu.

At first, your parents and I didn’t take it seriously until we heard that… Later, this nun traveled to the Western Regions and persuaded the countries in the Western Regions to convert to Buddhism and pay tribute to the Western Jin Dynasty. She was named Master Zhihui by Emperor Suzong of Jin at that time, and the temples in the Western Regions called her the reincarnation of Medicine Master Bodhisattva…”

When Min Ning heard this, she couldn't help but gasp for breath. She still said unwillingly:
"Regardless of whether this prophecy is true or not, what will my sister do if I leave?"

"As for your sister, she said..."

The old man relayed Min Ming's words:
“She said: Just leave her alone.”

Min Ning seemed to be able to imagine her sister's miserable face.

...............................

I don’t know when the snow stopped last night. Chen Yi got up early and turned around to see the little fox still sleeping.

Her eyelashes fluttered, she was very cute, and her little face was round.

Chen Yi touched her face, then thought about it, reached into the quilt and touched her belly.

"Oh, you've gained weight."

Chen Yi teased.

Since he took her as his concubine, he bullied her in many ways, but never in eating and sleeping.

Not only did he let her eat well, but he also let her eat healthily. She didn't like heavy dishes, so Chen Yi would cook light dishes. But cooking light dishes was always the most difficult. Sometimes she didn't like vegetables, but whenever Chen Yi gave her a look, she wouldn't dare not eat them. As for sleeping, Chen Yi would always let her sleep until she woke up naturally, and never let her stay up late to read books or anything else. Even if he bullied her, it would usually be half an hour to an hour. Even if he was not satisfied, he would endure it and let her sleep well.

Thanks to his modern ideas, Yin Tingxue is much healthier than when she stayed in the palace.

Thinking of the fact that she had grown some fat on her belly, Chen Yi felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction. This was not only because of lust, but also because he really liked this little fox.

Unconsciously, Chen Yi recalled what happened last night.

She did not give Chen Yi a clear answer. She neither agreed nor refused because she did not want to have a child. Instead, she slowly climbed down from him, shrank to the inside of the bed, turned her back to him, and clamped the quilt with her legs.

Chen Yi didn’t know whether she had thought of the answer or not, but he was not in a hurry anyway, because she would always be his after all.

"It's really hard to imagine you getting jealous of me one day."

Chen Yi smiled, put on his coat and left the bedroom.

As soon as he stepped out of the yard, Chen Yi took a breath of air, turned his head, and saw the familiar figure.

Beneath the old tree, a one-armed woman stood with her eyes slightly closed.

Chen Yi was curious and waited for a while.

After a long time, Zhou Yitang opened her eyes, turned around and saw Chen Yi.

"Disciple greets Master."

Chen Yi bowed in a fake manner.

The one-armed woman sneered.
"If you practice swordplay, I'll be at peace."

Chen Yi turned a deaf ear to it, and then asked:

"I wonder what Master is doing?"

"listen."

Zhou Yitang put his hand to his ear and made a listening gesture.

Chen Yi could hear nothing but the monotonous and hoarse sound of a cold wind blowing.

Zhou Yitang continued to listen attentively, and after a while asked:

"What did you hear?"

Chen Yi hesitated for a moment, thought carefully, and said:
“…your voice.”

The one-armed woman was speechless for a while.

"There's a sword coming."

Zhou Yitang revealed calmly,

"Moreover, it is an extremely sharp sword."

When she pointed this out, Chen Yi understood and said in surprise:
"Broken Swordsman? Why did he come here?"

Broken Swordsman ranked sixth on the Martial Arts Rankings, and was often mentioned together with the Sword Armor of Yinjian Mountain. This made swordsmen all over the world unhappy. This man who had achieved great success in the Central Plains Sword Sect was actually a swordsman. In this case, didn't it prove that the sword was superior to the knife? And swordsmen all over the world were also unhappy because his sword was superior to the knife in both aspects.

The knife can kill people, the sword can save people, but the swordsmanship he uses can kill people.

Zhou Yitang sneered:

"How would I know why he came? Maybe he came to kill you."

"How is that possible? I have never met him."

Chen Yi replied.

They had never met each other in both lifetimes, and the Broken Swordsman's reputation only existed in his ears.

If I remember correctly, this sixth-best person in the world didn't have many years left to live.

"If he really wants to kill me, I will hide behind my master."

Chen Yi said with a grin.

Listening to Chen Yi's words, Zhou Yitang turned away without answering.

She looked a little abnormal. Chen Yi thought of something and leaned close to her ear and asked:

"Are you afraid that I will practice sword skills to kill people, and are you jealous?"

There are two updates today, and I have no drafts saved. The outline of the next plot has not been structured yet.

The main reason is that I have never written a harem novel before, let alone an oriental fantasy novel, so sometimes I just don’t have the inspiration to structure it. Now looking back at "Lightless Strange Land", although the first volume is a bit bloated, it is really complete, with each part intertwined like a web.
