Misty Rain of the Old Times

Chapter 128 Chill
The biography of Yang Xin sent by Gao's servants was not very long. It was a dozen pages in total, with concise text records, which only recorded some relatively important experiences in his life over the past twenty years. With Chen Xuan's current browsing speed, he finished reading it quickly.

Yang Xin is 27 years old now, which is surprisingly the same age as Leng Bing.

He was born in Jiming Town. His family was poor and he was smart since childhood. His fate changed when he was five years old. Gu Jintang, the chief clerk of Lanfeng County at that time, came to Jiming Town on official business. He took a liking to him at first sight and bought him home to be his son's book boy in a relatively dishonorable way.

Gu Jintang, the chief clerk of Lanfeng County, was the one who had his head chopped off by Lanfeng County Magistrate Cao Liang six years ago.

When Yang Xin was five years old, he went to work as a servant in the Gu family in Lanfeng County. He showed great talent for learning and passed the examination for a student at the age of fifteen. After a few years of silence, he passed the examination for a scholar at the age of nineteen.

When he passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, the Gu family, a mere county clerk, could no longer tolerate his fame and status. Perhaps they took into consideration their long-term relationship as master and servant, or perhaps they thought that he would have a better future and would bring greater rewards to their family, so they set him free.

It was also because of this that Yang Xin escaped the fate of being executed by the entire Gu family six years ago.

Without the Gu family's support, Yang Xin's subsequent education was likely quite difficult. Perhaps the fate of his former master frightened him, leading him to realize that only by passing the imperial examinations and becoming an official could he control his own destiny. So, six years ago, a few months after the entire Gu family was executed, he applied for a teaching position at Yushan Academy, continuing his studies while teaching. He taught there for two or three years and then encountered Leng Bing...

Apart from personal matters, Yang Xin's resume is written clearly and clearly, and is stamped with the seals of Lanfeng County and Yushan School, so it can be verified.

As for whether he had any bad experiences during those years as a servant in the Gu family, there is no way of knowing. After all, who would go to someone else's house and peek in every day for no reason?
All in all, this person's life for more than 20 years was still very simple.

He was born into a poor family and was bought to be a servant by the Gu family through unknown and dishonorable means. The Gu family was able to commit so many crimes that the entire family was executed. Such a thing was definitely something they could do. Then he changed his fate through his own efforts and avoided being implicated by the Gu family.

I have to say that this person is really lucky.

If he had passed the imperial examination a few years later and failed to gain freedom, and had not had the protection of his official status, he would have been among the members of the Gu family who would have been executed.

After Chen Xuan quickly read Yang Xin's resume, he also heard the conversation coming from next door. He subconsciously looked at Leng Bing, and a feeling of sympathy suddenly arose in his heart.

Leng Bing treats others so wholeheartedly that she is almost pouring out her heart to them. No matter what kind of person Yang Xin is, Leng Bing is just a stinky woman in other people's mouths.

With just one sentence, Leng Bing's already cold face turned pale and he froze there, as if the sky had collapsed.

But the words from next door are still coming.

Then another voice said in a tone that seemed a little jealous and morbid: "Brother Yang, do you really think so? Is she really just a stinky woman?"

"Yes, stinky woman, stinky woman, stinky woman. I get annoyed when I see women. How can I marry her?" Yang Xin's voice seemed to be trying hard to restrain something, and he kept saying it.

Then another voice said proudly, "But she's been so good to you. She's given you her whole heart and fully supported your education. And yet she's been dressing so plainly for the past few years. Aren't you hurting her feelings by doing this?"

As if being asked about his dilemma, Yang Xin said angrily, "So what? Was it me who took the initiative to pursue her? Didn't she throw herself at me? I just broke my leg and she saved me. I was just nice to her occasionally, and she fell in love with me. After all, she saved me. How could I treat her coldly? I didn't ask her for the financial support later. She forced it on me and didn't even let me refuse. What can I do?"

"But she treats you so well and gives so much for you because she wants to start a family with you and spend the rest of her life with you. If you don't marry her, how can you be worthy of her?" The voice became even more proud.

Yang Xin's voice became even more tangled, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Do I have to marry someone just because she treats me well? What kind of logic is that? Besides, she took the initiative, so I will be responsible, but not in the sense of marrying her. No matter how much she has given me, I will pay her back when I become successful. It's just less than a thousand taels of silver over the past few years. Once I pass the imperial examination or even become a Jinshi, paying her back will be easy. Then I will pay her back double!"

"Haha, but what about the feelings people have wasted on you? Can you pay them back?" The voice seemed extremely excited.

Yang Xin snorted coldly, "I told her I'd pay her back double, what else does she want? It's only been a few years, and I haven't even touched her once, yet she's making a profit."

Before the other voice could say anything, Yang Xin's voice suddenly softened and said abnormally: "Brother Wu, are you satisfied with this? Why do you always mention her? Every time you meet her as a gift, you mention her. Every time you ask me to say the same thing, you stinky woman, why do you mention her?"

"Isn't it okay if I like to listen to it? Don't you understand? This makes me happier," the voice said happily.

Separated by a wall, their voices were always deliberately lowered, and normal people could not hear them at all. But Chen Xuan and the others were not normal people. Each of them had an outstanding martial arts skill, and only Gao Jingming was a little bit worse. They could hear it clearly.

Listening to the conversation over there, especially the strange noises, Chen Xuan's face turned black and he felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. It was easy to imagine what kind of perverts those two were.

Of course, Yang Xin and Chen Xuan knew each other. After all, he had been teaching at Yushan School for so many years. Although he had never taught them, the school was only that big and they would see each other every day.

As for the other voice, Chen Xuan also matched it. He was also one of the teachers in the school, but he lived in Lanfeng County.

Normally, they are both teachers from Yushan School. It is normal for the two of them to meet each other to drink tea, chat and discuss academic matters. But he clearly felt the abnormal slight movement over there. This is fucking abnormal.

It is clear that they are playing games among good friends by using the identities of colleagues as a cover.

No wonder Leng Bing said that Yang Xin is such a hardworking and diligent person. He usually saves on food and clothing, and will find ways to earn money to supplement the family income whenever he has time. He will only go to a small gathering when his good friends invite him. With such a relationship, how could he not come?
Listening to the intermittent words coming from the other side, Leng Bing froze there from the beginning, his face pale, in great pain and agony, and gradually his whole body became empty, with tears streaming down his face.

It is easy to imagine how much of a blow Yang Xin’s words had on her efforts over the years.

After all, she was the person involved, and her perspective was different. She only heard Yang Xin's words, but ignored some of the subtle movements. Gao Jingyu also frowned slightly, her eyes cold, but now that it was a cold matter, she couldn't intervene. She wanted to comfort him but didn't know how to start.

Gao Jingming also gritted his teeth and was so angry that he wanted to slam the table and do something, but his sister stopped him with a look.

As for Chen Xuan, he felt pity and lament for Leng Bing's experience.

However, at this moment, a chill inexplicably rose in Chen Xuan's heart...

Leng Bing usually never smiles and has a cold face. This time he stood there frozen. The pain and confusion he showed at first gradually turned into despair, then his eyes became empty, and finally he became numb completely.

An incomparable chill rose from her body, as if it was ten or a hundred times colder than the coldest winter. The temperature of the air around her dropped rapidly, and even the hot tea in the cup in front of her that she had not yet drunk was cooling down quickly, with cold air even slowly coming out of the surface!

"enough!"

She suddenly began to murmur softly, as if she was talking to the person next door, or as if she was talking to herself, or more like she was saying some kind of farewell.

As she spoke, she looked up in the direction of the next door, and an abnormal smile appeared on her face. Her expression was calm, with a smile on the corners of her mouth and tears on her face. That smile made even Chen Xuan feel a little cold all over. Gao Jingming was a little scared and didn't dare to look at her. His original anger was extinguished.

He stood up slowly, still with that abnormal smile on his cold face, and walked towards the wall, his voice getting colder and colder, "I've said enough!"

As she finished speaking, her long black hair danced, a bone-chilling coldness erupted from her, and the temperature in the room dropped again.

At this moment, someone next door shivered and wondered, "Why is it so cold all of a sudden?"

"Brother Wu, you..." Yang Xin's voice was slightly surprised.

At this moment, Leng Bing suddenly raised her palm and slapped it on the solid wooden wall. The moment she raised her hand, her right hand flashed with a crystal clear and cold white light, and her entire hand became as white as jade and transparent.

Chen Xuan knew that the abnormality in her palm was due to the circulation of her internal energy, and it was extremely superior icy internal energy. She had been practicing cold-attributed martial arts, and her usual coldness was largely influenced by the martial arts.

Bang~!

She slapped the wall, and the two-inch thick solid wood wall shattered with a loud bang, wood chips flew everywhere, and a two-meter-high gap appeared on the wall. Cold air was still coming out of the edge of the gap. If it weren't for dry wood, it would probably have frozen!
"What's going on, ah..."

"who!"

Suddenly, there was a panic sound coming from next door, as if someone was injured. At the same time, the scene in the next room was truly presented to Chen Xuan and others.

Three words: eyesore.

Yang Xin and Mr. Wu were disheveled, seemingly on the verge of disconnection. Yang Xin turned back in shock, an unnatural blush on his face. The scene was unbearable...

The moment the wall broke, Gao Jingyu turned her head and looked behind her. She had anticipated this and in order to avoid polluting her eyes, she also turned Gao Jingming's head to the side.

Chen Xuan felt like vomiting after taking a look at it, and immediately looked away. Damn, this won’t leave a shadow, right?

Leng Bing, who had broken the wall, was about to step forward, but when he saw the unbearable scene, he was stunned. A hint of extreme disbelief flashed across his originally cold eyes.

Even though Yang Xin's vicious words were still ringing in her ears, she never thought she would see such a scene.

Such a scene was a hundred times more vicious to her than Yang Xin's vicious words. Even being betrayed would not be as devastating as such a scene!

It would be fine if I trusted the wrong person, and being betrayed is no big deal. I even accepted that the other party was a liar, but how could it be such a disgusting thing?
Can this world ever be better?

She did not avert her gaze, and her incredulous look turned into pathetic, then ridiculous, then pitiful, and finally completely calm.

There was still that abnormal smile on her face, but her eyes were extremely calm, as if the last trace of human emotion had disappeared.

Leng Bing became very scary at this time. It was not the dangerous kind of scary because of her high level of cultivation, but the emotions she showed, as if she wanted to swallow up everything and freeze the world.

The chill in Chen Xuan's heart deepened.

She won't turn evil just like that, right?
You know, back home, there's a saying that darkened people are ten times stronger...
