Is that really how you feel?
If this is not the case, then how can one explain his behavior? Is it really like he said, that he simply wanted to tease the former genius?
Let him experience the feeling of someone who he couldn't imagine before and now has fallen to this point?
what to do?
----
After Xu Qingyan came out, Zhang Xiuxiu was still outside.
She even looked at Xu Qingyan with a hint of apology.
"I'm sorry, Senior Sister Yu wants to go in, I really can't stop her."
Xu Qingyan knew how much time he had wasted inside, and he was a little surprised that the other party had no intention of coming in.
"That's okay, but Miss Zhang, there's no need to wait outside like this. It's getting late..."
Zhang Xiuxiu said with a wry smile.
"I can't help it. After all, this is a task assigned by the mountain master, and I must fulfill it. But the one who has to work harder should be Mr. Xu. You have been treating me for such a long time. Thank you for your hard work."
Xu Qingyan wanted to say, it's okay, it's a bit hard, but it's really fun.
But think about it or forget it.
They seem to be kept in the dark and probably think they are doing good things.
Only at this time did Xu Qingyan feel a little ashamed.
He nodded gently.
"It's over, Miss Zhang, go back and have a rest. Don't see me off. I'm going back too."
"Okay, Master Xu, take care."
The two said goodbye at the door of the bamboo house.
But Xu Qingyan was not in a hurry to return to Shenjian Mountain.
Instead, he touched the jade pendant in his sleeve and walked in one direction.
It was a bushy forest near the mountain trail, overgrown with weeds and no one cared about it.
It was shadowy inside, and as the sun went down, it seemed that nothing could be seen clearly.
But Xu Qingyan still walked in. The winding road was not even a path, but there were still signs that someone had entered.
Not far away, the view in front of me suddenly opened up, but it was a very narrow space between cliffs.
The setting sun in the distance shines brightly, and the orange-red light comes into view.
The still visible clouds have a wonderful sheen under the orange light, as if the setting sun has not sunk into the sea but is sleeping among the clouds.
The snow-white clouds turned into burning mattresses.
Right on the edge of the cliff, there was a figure sitting, seemingly not afraid at all of someone pushing her from behind and pushing her off the cliff.
Xu Qingyan naturally did not do such a thing. He came behind the other party and looked at his robe floating in the wind on the cliff.
"You went there too?"
He asked calmly.
The tall figure in front of him, wearing men's clothing and looking somewhat lonely, slowly stood up and turned around.
"Well, I saw Yu Nuan following you, so I followed her."
"How did you come up with the idea of using a jade pendant to remind me?"
Xu Qingyan narrowed his eyes and stared at Xia Mian in front of him.
The girl, still dressed as a man, lowered her head slightly. It was unclear whether she was truly obedient or simply didn't want to meet the boy's gaze.
"This jade pendant bears my mark, so I can't do much else, but I can still make it slightly hot."
In fact, Xu Qingyan didn't need the other party to remind him, as he had already heard the voice outside.
But does this reminder represent one thing?
"Should I praise you for really thinking about me and finally figuring out your place?"
Xia Mian lowered her head and her expression could not be seen clearly, the blazing sunset was behind her.
"Master, you don't need to praise me. This is what a slave should do."
It seemed that he had really understood his position, and even mentioned his title proactively, without Xu Qingyan's reminder.
But is it really that simple?
Xu Qingyan smiled.
"Yes, this is indeed what you should do...but why did you think I needed to be reminded at that time?"
Suddenly Xia Mian's body became visibly stiff.
Xu Qingyan took a step forward, looked at her with her head down, and lowered his voice.
"Is it because you think I must be doing something shameful in there? But Zhang Xiuxiu is clearly outside... Zhang Xiuxiu has no reason to harm Ye Yanxi, what do you know?"
"...I don't know anything. I just simply think that the master shouldn't want others to know or disturb him about what he did..."
She explained quickly, but her voice was visibly trembling.
Xu Qingyan smiled, looked at the girl who didn't raise her head, and took out the jade pendant from his sleeve.
Presented in front of the other person, he knew without even looking that the girl's eyes should be slightly dilated.
He unabashedly reached out and lifted the other person's chin, allowing that beautiful face to appear before his eyes.
And her eyes.
Instinctively wanted to escape, but he looked at me stubbornly and firmly.
He held the jade pendant and gently rubbed it on the other person's cheek, just like wiping the jade pendant.
A blush of shame and anger gradually appeared on the other person's face.
Then the young boy's voice was heard.
"If I'm not mistaken, this jade pendant left your mark when you approached me, so you can sense what I'm doing, right?"
"...That's not true."
Xia Mian immediately denied it.
But Xu Qingyan grabbed her hair and brought her to the edge of the cliff, so that her face was facing the bottomless cliff, and the colorful clouds that were about to sink into darkness were all shining on her face.
The whistling sound of the wind was not pleasant to the ear, but rather a kind of mourning.
It seemed like it would turn into its own scream at any moment.
Xu Qingyan said indifferently.
"to be honest."
The girl's eyes suddenly widened, and she couldn't help but hold her breath.
soon.
"That's right... Master, I'm sorry, Nunu didn't have the vision to tell you, it's my fault..."
"boom."
Xu Qingyan did not push the other person off the cliff.
Rather the opposite.
On the contrary, he held Xia Mian in his broad arms.
Xia Mian stared with eyes wide open, at a loss.
For a moment she really thought she was going to be thrown down, but the next moment it was like a transition between the underworld and the fairyland...
I felt his hand gently caressing the back of my head, and he spoke softly as if comforting a child.
"Children who tell the truth are good children"
This bastard...!
Xu Qingyan's sudden inconsistency made the girl feel that this was a deliberate prank.
Did she think she was so easy to fool? Who was the one who forced her into this situation? What was the point of pretending to be the one who saved her now?
and many more...
Xia Mian suddenly seemed to realize something.
At this moment, Xu Qingyan let go of her body slightly at the edge of the cliff, allowing the girl to once again experience the danger of falling at any time.
Then he looked at her and said with a smile.
"I am indeed the one who put you in danger, but on the other hand, I am also the only one who can save you. Do you think all this depends on my mood?"
The boy's smiling face now looked like a nightmare.
There is no difference...He is the biggest demon in my heart right now.
All I thought about day and night was how to escape from this young man's control.
Return to the aestivation of true freedom.
Now that I have no ability to resist, the only answer I can give is...
"Nu Nu...I don't know."
Xu Qingyan looked at the other person with a smile.
"It depends on your performance. The better you perform, the sooner my goal will be achieved, and our cooperation will be concluded sooner. You will also be able to regain your freedom sooner."
Xia Mian knew that sometimes, people should just keep a basic understanding to themselves, that is, don't tell her about things that everyone knows.
But now she couldn't help herself.
I even feel like I am a little crazy at this moment.
She looked at Xu Qingyan hopelessly.
"Master, are you willing to let me run away with all the secrets of what you did? According to your cautious character, wouldn't it be more reassuring to root out the problem?"
When she said this, she felt like she was giving up.
So much so that I couldn't help but laugh.
The smile was dazzling, making Xu Qingyan feel dazed.
It was as if I saw Xia Mian many years later, the Demon Lord Xia Mian who stood in the Abyss Demon Realm, led a generation of young demons, strengthened their momentum to counterattack the human race, and frightened countless human cultivators.
Xu Qingyan was not angry, what the other party said made sense.
He slowly loosened his hand and looked at Xia Mian.
Then one person stepped back a few steps and sat on an ordinary stone.
He looked at the girl.
"I won't kill you."
The boy's calm eyes said very simple words, which did not seem like he was trying to convince himself, nor did they seem like an order that he was forcing himself to believe.
The tone of his words and his expression seemed strange.
Even Xia Mian was a little shaken.
But now she could only lower her head slightly.
"Nu Nu can only trust the master."
"I know you won't believe me. You even think I'm lying to you so that you can help me with your work. So your next move must be to slow down the progress of whatever I ask you to do until you know how to get out of this situation. This way, you won't have to worry about your life."
"..."
Xia Mian didn't expect that her thoughts were seen through so clearly, and she was not given any room at all.
He is really smart, maybe he is born to be a conspirator?
