"Why can't you trust me..."
"Yan'er, apart from you, I don't have any weaknesses."
Her face was pressed against his, as if this would make their breaths blend together.
She felt sorry for his paleness, and couldn't imagine that he would leave her one day.
No matter what the way of leaving is.
Until now, Lin Yan still didn't know what those dreams represented or foreshadowed.
but...
"Even if it's Song Xiyan, I won't let her take you away. You can only belong to me."
She squeezed his limp hand.
Hold it tightly and don't let go.
"Someone died in Tongbi Valley?"
"Yes... It's in Tongbi Valley, the nearest place outside the sect's territory."
There was a dead silence in the sect's main hall.
But in stark contrast to this eerie atmosphere, the place was packed with people.
It seemed that all the mountain masters except Lin Yan and Hong Jiao were present, even Pei Yu was there.
She was also a little surprised.
Hong Jiao, who was known for his cunning and suspicious nature, died? Although it seemed like a happy thing... but daring to kill someone on the edge of the Eighteen Sword Sect's territory, wasn't that too arrogant?
Song Xiyan's temperament was icy as she stood on the steps. Her silver hair seemed like thorns that pierced into the hearts of everyone present.
She pondered for a moment.
"Who did it? Any clues?"
At this time, Elder You, the master of Qingxun Mountain, a middle-aged man stepped forward and said.
"Master, the incident happened early this morning. All the disciples present at the scene, except Master Hongshan, were knocked unconscious by the poison. No one knows what happened. We don't even know how many people were responsible."
"As for the surrounding areas of Mingdao Villa and Luotai Mountain at the time of the incident... our disciples in charge of intelligence did not receive any information about their movements. We still need to investigate whether they have made any small moves and whether they are their people."
Song Xiyan looked at everyone.
"Any other ideas?"
Someone asked tentatively.
"Could it be... the work of the demons? We all know that Lord Hongshan... has the greatest hatred for the demons. If they sent assassins and knew the route of Lord Hongshan's actions in advance, and set up this conspiracy..."
Pei Yu frowned and said.
"If it was a demon, why would they leave any alive? All those disciples were knocked unconscious. If it was a demon, there should be a pile of corpses left behind."
This sentence left people speechless for a moment.
Song Xiyan looked at Pei Yu.
"Master Pei, what do you think?"
Pei Yu wasn't really interested in this matter, she just couldn't help but interrupt when she heard the obvious flaw.
When Song Xiyan really asked this, she had to think deeply about it.
"If I remember correctly, Hong Jiao went to negotiate with Luming Sect about the return of dozens of magic weapons and our spies, right?"
Song Xiyan frowned.
"You mean this might be the work of the Luming Sect?"
Immediately someone raised an objection.
"As far as I know, this negotiation was a complete success. Lord Hongshan persuaded the Luming Sect to return the spies we sent out, and was also willing to return the magic weapon. We only need to pay a million spirit stones..."
"Only one million spirit stones are needed?" Pei Yu sneered. "Those dozens of magic weapons were originally lent to us by our predecessors many years ago out of pity for the small number of people in Luming Sect. It was only because one of our undercover agents was discovered that Luming Sect is gaining momentum and can even compete with our Eighteen Sword Sects. So we need to give them one million spirit stones... Is this what you call a complete success?!"
The man who was refuted by Pei Yu couldn't help but blush.
"If they are taking advantage of this matter, then why do they have any reason to send people to follow Hong Jiao, and even let him stay on the edge of the Eighteen Sword Sect's territory? Isn't this self-contradictory, and they have ruined a deal!"
Pei Yu laughed.
"It's very simple. They think that our Eighteen Sword Sect is proud of its status as a famous sect and will never agree. Killing Hong Jiao is a provocation. It is a direct challenge to the dignity of our Eighteen Sword Sect. If we don't respond to it, then from now on we will no longer have the confidence to compete with the Luming Sect in this Eastern State. The Luming Sect may be able to do things over our heads!"
Hearing Pei Yu's powerful words.
There was an uproar at the scene.
Everyone looked at each other and discussed a lot, but they couldn't find any reason to refute Pei Yu.
Song Xiyan's eyes swept across everyone and finally landed on Pei Yu, watching the woman lower her head slightly.
She took a deep breath.
There was a barely perceptible smile in his eyes.
Then she looked at everyone and said coldly.
"We have no evidence to prove that the Luming Sect killed the man. But can you accept this negotiation result? As disciples of the Eighteen Sword Sects, can you accept such humiliating exchange conditions?"
She raised her head slightly, as if she was looking through the crowd at the sky outside the door.
"We must get those magic weapons back. We must also get our undercover agents back. But the price must not be so humiliating!"
Everyone looked up and saw this silver-haired woman showing an extraordinary temperament.
It seemed that only at this moment did people realize what she was trying to do.
There was a great excitement in the sect's main hall.
"I am willing to go through fire and water for the master, no matter what!"
"Master, please issue an order, and we will serve you till our death!"
"Revenge for Lord Hongshan and destroy the Luming Sect!"
Pei Yu looked at her toes on the ground... well, although it was a little hard to see, she didn't want to look at Song Xiyan's face at the moment.
She understood Song Xiyan's purpose very well.
She said this not for the purpose of seeking justice or revenge for Hong Jiao.
It's just that as a newly appointed clan leader, she needs to make some outstanding achievements to prove her status and consolidate her power.
And Hong Jiao's death was a perfect reason and excuse.
She even began to doubt... Could Hong Jiao's death be her doing?
It's unlikely. Even if we haven't seen each other for a long time, she shouldn't do such a shocking thing for her own benefit.
But what if... Song Xiyan can really do it now?
Forget it, these are not things I need to care about. I just need to know that once this woman has a goal, it is difficult for her to turn back.
But I heard that the boy really came out alive? And he was slightly injured?
What a coincidence... It happened on the day Hong Jiao died.
Are there any connections between the two? When this thought came to him intuitively, Pei Yu couldn't help but laugh at himself.
How is it possible, that little fox?
There is no connection even if her name is written backwards, but those two are equally annoying...
It's ok as long as he's not dead. He can't die before Xi'er recovers.
As for after I recover...I will settle all this with him.
----
When Xu Qingyan's consciousness began to recover, before he opened his eyes, he smelled a slightly familiar fragrance.
I felt a noticeable weight on my chest.
With warm body temperature.
He frowned and opened his eyes.
The ceiling is not unfamiliar, so it must not be my own house.
So here is...
Xu Qingyan lowered his head slightly, and saw the long black hair and the familiar beautiful profile in front of him.
Cold and quiet, with eyes closed.
Less sharp edge, more stable and gentle.
This seems to be the real her, but is it really so?
Xu Qingyan frowned and stood up slightly, wanting to end this ambiguous and charming interaction.
But it was obvious that the slightest movement would cause this woman to have an instinctive reaction.
She turned her head, her eyes still a little drowsy.
But she has an unexpected charm and allure, as if this is a style that has never appeared in her before.
"Yan'er, you're awake..."
She put on a slight smile, as if she was glad that she woke up at this time.
Xu Qingyan frowned, and he struggled to get up somewhat unnaturally, as if he was not used to being treated like this.
"Um, is this Xitao Garden? Sorry, I am intruding upon you."
But before Xu Qingyan could sit up completely.
Lin Yan quickly stood up and stretched out her hands, almost pressing Xu Qingyan's shoulders and pressing him down on the bed.
She looked down at Xu Qingyan's slightly stunned eyes.
The tone of voice was unexpectedly gentle.
"You are injured, take a rest first. Don't worry, no one else will disturb you here."
Xu Qingyan frowned, "But... this is your bed, Master. It's not appropriate for me to be here."
Lin Yan smiled without caring, and even reached out her hand to gently touch Xu Qingyan's forehead.
Her eyes seemed to have a kind of pampering and greed that she had never had before.
The unfamiliar makes people uneasy.
"It doesn't matter. No one has used this place except you and me. There is nothing suitable or inappropriate. I don't feel comfortable with anyone else taking care of you except me."
The wind outside the window is very quiet.
Occasionally, it passes through the gaps between leaves, bringing a pleasant rustling sound.
Natural sounds are of course everywhere, but they are much better than the noise of countless human voices.
The pale-faced boy lying on the bed quietly looked at the scenery outside the window without saying a word. He remained silent.
The woman sat quietly beside him, as if it was just as she said.
I won't go anywhere, I'll just stay here.
Only Xu Qingyan felt that all this was absurd, and too absurd.
I'm not talking about my own injury, because getting injured was part of my plan.
Although he has sufficient experience, he can easily find the spirit monsters hidden in the No. 44 Cave Paradise and resolve the dangers that have always been hidden in the No. 44 Cave Paradise.
But if he could easily resolve this matter without any damage, then the strength he showed would be too terrifying, and the fact that he was hiding himself would be exposed.
Not to mention that Hong Jiao's death will also be related to him.
The way he was injured by the Hong Jiao this time could solve these problems once and for all. No one would doubt that it was a young male disciple from Shenjian Mountain who killed the mountain master of Chiyang Mountain.
There are no traces or flaws left.
