Chapter 17 Chapter Seventeen

Everyone was very united, and they tied me up tightly without any politeness. Everyone escorted me back to Yaju, Cui Zhu stepped forward and asked me: "Is Peony still alive? Where is she?" I looked at the angry faces, Peony, you should be lucky. You have many good sisters, they are always concerned about your life and death, you have a lover, he will not hesitate to go to danger again to save you. After holding back the words in my heart for too long, I really couldn't hold back, and let that cunning man get out of my mouth! "Hurry up!" I asked after repeated questions, and I responded, "She's in the Seventh Heaven."

Everyone was silent, Zhu Xiaolian asked: "Where is the Seventh Heaven?" "In the East China Sea, we have to pass Xuanwu Valley in the middle. But only my aunt can drive the animal. If we want to go there, we have to kill it." Cui Zhu hesitated, and then gave me another look, "Originally, Peony can escape, I don’t know if someone reported it at that time!” I looked at her, green bamboo and peony have the best relationship, it's normal for her to think so. "I'm going there, no matter what, since I know she's not dead, I must find a way to save her." Zhu Xiaolian's voice was soft but firm.

"In this case, I'll follow you." Cuizhu felt relieved, staring at me and said, "Peony is also my sister, so I can't ignore it! My aunt is now in retreat, which is a great opportunity. As for you, every time I go with my aunt, You must know how to go, lead the way!" "I'll go as well." "And I……" I listened to Cuizhu ordering everyone to make preparations in an orderly manner, the Seventh Heaven is not close, if these three mortals follow, they must prepare some food and change clothes. Zhu Xiaolian squatted down in front of my eyes so that I could see his slightly smiling face.

Suddenly I felt a little hot in my ears, I staggered his eyes and said: "You deliberately asked Cuizhu to bring the painting?" "No." He answered simply, "I really want to burn it." "Lie." I glared at him. "Really." His expression was a bit innocent, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, but it was sly. However, such contradictory expressions appeared on his face so harmoniously that I didn't know what to say. Zhu Xiaolian said: "Everything I saw on the murals is true, and there is no half a lie. It is because of this that I believed my aunt's words and thought that Peony was dead. I promised her to draw a picture of the world for her. She saw it, so after it was finished, she wanted to burn it to her. But seeing you always look worried, every time I see you, you always ignore me and always let me go. I faintly feel that maybe things are not right It's so simple. Maybe, Mudan is still alive, you just don't want others to suffer because of it! Coincidentally, Cuizhu rescued the painting again, and came to ask me again, so I..."

He smiled slightly and said: "Although you are a girl with a dull expression, I know that you are not as cold as your appearance. You want to go too? Your aunt is in retreat, this is the only thing you can catch opportunity." I lowered my eyes, looked at his boots and said, "You know what?" His voice seemed to be sighing and a bit teasing: "Duplicity." I looked up in shock and stared at him.But saw the brilliance in his eyes, shining like a star and extraordinarily bright, he was obviously thin and pale, but at that moment, it seemed that his former high spirits had returned.

Dazzling! He said: "When I married Cui Zhu, you avenged the peony, and you hated me every time you looked at me. You didn't even bother to look at the painting I painted, because your aunt's witty sentences made me You feel that people are unpredictable, especially that none of the men outside are good." I was so shocked that I couldn't speak, and he said word by word: "Others can't see it, but I can see it. Shaoyao, you are more sincere than anyone else, you just can't express it. Even if the green bamboo doesn't come, I will I also plan to tell you. Cuizhu is here, and when I saw everyone following, I simply said it... There are some things that you should not bear alone. I know you want to save her too. But it is better to gather the strength of the crowd than you It's good to be adventurous alone."

I murmured: "If my aunt finds out about this..." He said, "Do you want to carry it alone?" There was a trace of burning in his eyes, exactly the same as the moment when he raised his eyes and looked at me when he said those words to his aunt. I couldn't help but take a slight breath: "You are such an idiot!" He said: "It was me who caused Mudan to suffer, that's why I came here to make sure that she is well. Otherwise, I feel very sorry. And the person I want to find is actually..." The heart beat like a drum, and even the nerves throbbed.There was a haze in front of my eyes, and I couldn't see clearly.At this time, Cuizhu and the others had already turned back to the room and served all kinds of meals.

I hastily avoided his gaze, and heard him say: "Let go of Shaoyao, how can she eat like this?" "No." Lily said, "She is very powerful, if you let go, she will report to aunt." "She won't." Zhu Xiaolian's voice warmed my heart. Lily said: "You don't know, she is my aunt's confidant, there must be troubles if I let her go. At the beginning, she helped Mudan in the open, but she went to report to aunt in secret. Otherwise, how could Mudan be caught? The strange way said Well, how could she have such kindness, wouldn’t she be hurting herself by helping Peony? I think it’s better to tie her up!”

I didn't take it seriously. At this time, I heard Meng Longtan talking about men being superior to women. He thought that Lily and the others would eat for themselves and not serve him. Hou Xia couldn't help arguing with him, and finally turned into a row Big group. I saw Zhu Xiaolian looking at me while fighting, and I knew what he meant.He wanted me to go over to eat together, but when I saw the sisters' faces full of lust, I shook my head and stopped looking at him. I couldn't hold back, and told the whereabouts of Peony.It was because I found out that I had misunderstood him all along, and it was him that Mudan was thinking of. Anyway, I wanted to let Mudan go, so it would be better to let them leave together.

But now, I don't dare to look into his eyes any more, so what if I can see clearly?I can't be sorry for Peony, some things shouldn't have happened. Yunmei came over to me with food, squatted in front of me, handed over the water glass and said, "We are not your opponents, are you trying to catch them with nothing?" I took a sip of her hand, soaked in the cold, and calmed me down a bit.Looking up at the exploration in Yunmei's eyes, she answered the wrong question and said, "Thank you." She smiled, but there was sadness in her eyes: "You are in the same state of mind as I was then. You know you can't do it, but you can't control it. You know it won't work, but you still have to hope."

I thought of that stone demon and Yunmei's expression at that time. Seeing that Zhu Xiaolian was coming this way again, Yunmei whispered, "Tell him? I didn't have the guts to say it at the time, but I still regret it now." Saying that, Yunmei stood up and left. Zhu Xiaolian squatted down, I looked at him with a smile in his eyes, and suddenly I became angry from embarrassment.What are you doing here in front of all these people? I turned my head and ignored him, and heard him ask me: "Suddenly remembered, where is my fan?" "I haven't seen it." I said quietly. "Impossible? At that time, it fell in..." I jumped up, he promised not to tell the story of that day, he clearly promised me.If people find out that he hid in my room, then after careful questioning, wouldn't the nonsense I talked about in the mirror also be exposed?As soon as I moved, I suddenly felt that the vines were getting tighter, and I looked up to see that everyone was already moving towards this side with nervous expressions, as if they were afraid that I would attack Zhu Xiaolian. I gave him a hard look, and his face turned red all of a sudden.Before everyone rushed over, he said softly like a mosquito, "I'm sorry." I was immediately discouraged, and at one moment I was slick as hell, and at the other moment I was stupid as hell, I was so pissed off! Xuanwu Valley is deep and narrow, with steep cliffs on both sides. Through the long valley road, you can see the vast sea.And at the bottom of the cliff by the sea, a huge turtle is locked. I looked at the giant tortoise and said, "Except for my aunt who can come and go freely here. If we want to cross the water, we can only kill this tortoise. It belongs to Zhenhai. If we kill it, the sea route will open." Meng Longtan carried the treasured knife that his aunt gave him back then, stroked his chin and said, "It's easy, all the turtles are tied here." Zhu Xiaolian couldn't bear it, hesitantly said: "Do you have to kill it?" Meng Longtan sneered, and strode forward with a knife in his hand: "You're so sour and useless, who are you going to save even if you're afraid of killing a turtle?" I was "tied" at this time and it was not easy to move too much, although it was not difficult to break free from these vines.The mist in the air gradually dissipated, and four figures appeared beside the cliff.Looking at Meng Longtan without saying a word, he swung his sword and stabbed. Meng Longtan was startled, he leaned back and narrowly escaped, and then moved the saber like the wind for several feet.It can be seen that he has good skills.Tall but still agile, the knife in his hand is as light as a willow leaf and very dexterous, not only has enough defense but also is extremely sharp on offense.However, what he faced was not an ordinary opponent. I was about to remind me, but I saw that the sisters next to me seemed to be joking.That's right, this man has always been arrogant, and the sisters are afraid that they will want to punish him a long time ago. After a few strokes, the female soldier who was being slashed by the knife began to turn into smoke.Meng Longtan was frightened and terrified, his moves started to be messy, the blade flew horizontally, only slashing at the flying smoke.When the smoke condensed again, the number of female soldiers turned into two, then four, and more and more!Meng Longtan backed away in shock, his steps becoming more and more chaotic. This is the atomized ice armor technique, which is Gugubu's formation.Once it touches the formation, it immediately becomes a reality, and the normal attack will only cut more and more.Even though Meng Longtan had some skills, he could be regarded as sensitive, but it was really not enough at this time. After a while, he had already received several sword strikes on his body, blood spattered all over the place. Although these atomized ice armors were interchangeable with real ones, their sword moves were real to the opponent. It was also difficult to avoid the sword posture coming from all directions, blood was flowing from his body, his body was getting heavier and heavier, and he was about to be unable to hold on. I glanced at Ding Xiang, and she took the shot at a leisurely pace.With a move of both hands, a golden leaflet shape opened between the eyebrows, and the Qi instantly swelled up the whole body.With the flick of a finger, the light and shadow have turned into bows and arrows.With the arms stretched out to the bow, with five fingers and one finger, the string is already full of arrows.The random arrows flew, but the example was not in vain. Haitang probed the gossamer with her fingertips, it was as thin as a hair and endless, trembling in an instant, piercing into her heart, those female soldiers who were glued to the silk immediately began to kill each other, and the surrounding situation immediately opened up. Meng Longtan looked over in shock, and was stunned. He didn't even hold the knife in his hand, and threw it on the ground with a "bang". Snow Lotus said with a look of disdain: "Get out of the way, don't get in the way." As she spoke, she twirled the flower with her fingertips, and she had already released tiny ice beads, which became bigger and bigger like a lotus flower.Then she shook her arms, and the petals danced like frost and fog, and those female soldiers would never think about increasing their body size. Lily pointed out the vine, turned into a snake and bit it wildly, like a rope entangled and hard to break.Yunmei, sand and mist are like a storm, and bombs are like rain! I saw that Meng Longtan's jaw was about to drop, and his expression was full of frustration. I felt an itchy heart that I couldn't tell how funny it was. "You laughed." Zhu Xiaolian who was next to me suddenly said, I was taken aback for a moment, and when I looked at him in the blink of an eye, he was already heading towards Meng Longtan, to be precise, towards his knife. During the chaotic battle, he seemed to be completely invisible, and his steps were not ordinary.I think this person is really strange, it is unreasonable that he is so courageous even though he is powerless. Sometimes he is so reckless that he dares to go anywhere.Sometimes he is as careful as dust, and he can't avoid his eyes even a little bit.Sometimes the words are abrupt and unreasonable, but they always point directly to people's hearts.Sometimes she is stiff and sour, awkward and even like a big girl. He has good calligraphy and is good at drawing the long scroll of world affairs.If you live with him, life must not be boring.
