Xie Lian shouted on the spot.
Feng Xin was caught off guard and jumped in fright.
He said, "What's wrong?! What's wrong?! "
Xie Lian pointed at the mirror with a pale face. "Him! I … … I, I … … "
Feng Xin followed his finger and looked into the mirror. After a while, he turned his head with a blank expression and said, "… … What's wrong with you?"
Xie Lian was scared out of his wits.
He held onto him tightly.
With great difficulty, he was able to say a few more words. "I! I! My face! Can't you see? There's something on my face?! "
Feng Xin stared at his face.
He sighed. Xie Lian was still wondering why he didn't react when he heard Feng Xin say, "Your Highness.
Did you just realize there's a wound on your face? "
Xie Lian felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Why? How could this be? Why would Feng Xin say that?
Could it be that Feng Xin couldn't see the mask on his face in the mirror?!
Xie Lian blurted out, "Can't you see? There's something on my face! "
Feng Xin asked doubtfully, "What is it? What do you mean specifically? I can't see it? "
Xie Lian looked at the mirror again. "Impossible! I … … "
However,
When he looked again, the mask on his face in the mirror had disappeared.
His panic-stricken face was still reflected in the mirror.
His face was crisscrossed with bruises.
He looked like he had lost his soul and was in an extremely sorry state.
He looked like a laborer who had been beaten up by a rich man. Xie Lian couldn't help but be stunned. He tried to touch the edge of his face.
He thought, "… … This is me?"
At this time, he heard Feng Xin say, "Your Highness.
Are you … … too tired? Or were you angered by that stinking brat? Listen to me.
Don't go out for a while. It's better to rest more. "
Xie Lian finally came back to his senses. He saw Feng Xin carry his bow and stool and was about to leave.
He hurriedly said, "No! I … … "
Feng Xin pushed the door open and turned his head. "What else?"
The words reached his mouth, but he swallowed them. That was because a strange thought suddenly popped up in his mind.
Their current days were already very difficult. If they were to tell Feng Xin that Bai WuXiang might come back to haunt them, what would Feng Xin do?
Feng Xin's shadow in Bai WuXiang's heart was not shallow. What would he do? Would he want to retreat and leave like Mu Qing?
While his imagination was running wild, Feng Xin had already left the room. Xie Lian was awakened by the sound of the door closing. He had no choice but to shrink back into bed and cover himself with the quilt, planning to sleep again.
Suddenly, he smelled a strange smell.
Xie Lian got up. At first, he thought that the Queen was cooking again, or that a mouse or something had died in the corner. He got up and looked around, but in the end, he found that the source of the strange smell was actually him.
Only then did Xie Lian remember that he hadn't changed his clothes or washed up for dozens of days, so of course he would smell.
Xie Lian held his breath as a wave of disgust towards himself welled up in his heart. Thinking that his parents and Feng Xin must have sensed it but didn't tell him, he felt ashamed again. He sneakily opened the door and saw that there was no one outside. He then found a new set of clothes and planned to boil water for a bath.
After tossing and turning, he finally managed to soak in the bathtub. He sank his entire body into the water and suffocated until he almost fainted. Only then did he resurface and fiercely wash his face a few times.
After scrubbing his entire body, Xie Lian reached out to grab his clothes. He absentmindedly shook them open and was about to put them on when he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
These weren't his clothes at all, but rather Bai WuXiang's deathly white mourning clothes!!!
Xie Lian only felt that the hot water he was soaking in had instantly turned into a pot of ice. His hair stood on end as he involuntarily cried out, "Who! Who did this?! "
Who had secretly changed his clothes while he wasn't paying attention?!
He jumped out dripping wet and knocked over the bathtub. With a loud noise, the entire room was immediately flooded with water, scaring the king and queen in the neighboring room. The queen supported the king and came in to see Xie Lian's naked body lying on the ground, covered in water. She was so frightened that she threw herself at him and hugged him, saying, "My son, what happened to you?!"
Xie Lian's hair was dripping wet and disheveled. He raised his head and hugged her back, saying, "Mother, ghost, there's a ghost, there's a ghost pestering me! He's been following me the whole time! "
His current appearance was no different from a madman. The queen couldn't take it anymore and hugged her son, her heart aching as she cried. The king also looked at Xie Lian in a daze. He was in his forties, but now he seemed to be over sixty. The cold winter air caused Xie Lian to shiver. He pointed and said, "Clothes. Quickly look at those clothes! … … "
However, when he looked at those clothes again, how was that some white mourning clothes? Wasn't it still his white daoist robe?
Xie Lian suddenly felt a burst of anger. He punched the wooden tub and roared, "What the hell do you want? Are you playing with me?! "
The queen held back her tears and hugged him, saying, "My son, don't be angry. Put on your clothes first. Put them on, don't catch a cold … …"
That day, Feng Xin also returned very late. The weariness on his face was also deeper than before.
Xie Lian had already waited for him for a long time. He impatiently said, "Feng Xin, I have something very important to tell you."
Although Bai WuXiang was too strange and powerful, and even if he told Feng Xin, warning him ahead of time would probably be useless, he still thought that this matter shouldn't be hidden from Feng Xin. Thus, he decided to tell him the truth. Unexpectedly, Feng Xin didn't immediately ask him what the matter was. Instead, he said, "It just so happens that I also have something I want to tell you."
Xie Lian thought that the matter of confirming Bai WuXiang was more important. Important matters should be left for later. Sitting at the table, he asked, "You first, what is it?"
Feng Xin hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Highness, you should speak first."
Xie Lian also didn't have the heart to decline. In a low voice, he said, "Feng Xin, you must be careful. Bai WuXiang has returned."
"… …"
Feng Xin's expression suddenly changed. "Bai WuXiang has returned? Why do you say that? You saw him? "
Xie Lian said, "Yes! I saw him. "
Feng Xin's face paled. "But … … but that's not right. How could you see him? How could you be safe and sound after seeing him??? "
Xie Lian buried his face in his hands and said, "… … I also don't know! But not only did he not kill me, he even … … "
Like a loving elder, he even hugged him and patted his head. He even said to him, "Come over to my side."
After listening to him talk about the strange encounters of the past few days, the shock on Feng Xin's face gradually faded and was replaced by confusion. "What does he want to do in the end?"
Xie Lian said, "In any case, he definitely doesn't have good intentions. Furthermore, he seems to have been following me. In short … … you have to be careful! Help me remind Imperial Father and Empress Mother to be careful as well. But don't scare them. "
Feng Xin said, "Okay. I won't be going out for the next few days. The things that that brat brought over … … should be able to last for a while. "
It was really embarrassing to talk about it. When Mu Qing left, he still left behind all the things he brought. Although Xie Lian had lost control of his emotions at that time and had smashed him, saying that he didn't need his things and help, after calming down, he still gloomily picked up all the things. Xie Lian sighed and nodded. He then said, "Oh right, what did you want to tell me?"
When he mentioned this, Feng Xin hesitated again. After pausing for a moment, he opened his mouth. Unexpectedly, he actually hesitated. While grabbing his hair, he said, "Actually … … Your Highness, do you still have money? Or something that can be pawned? "
Xie Lian didn't expect that he would actually ask such a stupid question at this time. Stunned, he said, "Ah? Why are you asking this? "
Feng Xin braced himself and said, "… … Nothing … … It's just that if there is, can you … … lend me some first?"
Xie Lian smiled bitterly and said, "… … Do you think there will be more?"
Feng Xin also sighed and said, "I think so too."
Xie Lian thought for a moment and said, "But didn't I give you a golden belt before?"
Feng Xin muttered, "That's not enough. It's far from enough … …"
Xie Lian was shocked and said, "Feng Xin? What did you do? How could a golden belt not be enough? Did you hit someone outside and need to pay for it? Tell me about it? "
Feng Xin came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "No! Don't take it to heart, I'm just asking! "
After asking again and again, Feng Xin guaranteed that nothing was wrong. Xie Lian worriedly said, "If there's anything, you must tell me. We can think of a solution together."
Feng Xin said, "Don't worry about me. I won't be able to think of a solution even if I keep thinking. Your Highness, you should first solve the problem on your side! "
As soon as he mentioned this, Xie Lian's heart sank again.
Just as he expected, in the next few days, that thing continued to pester him like a haunting ghost.
Xie Lian could always see that sad and happy face in many unexpected places, or a faintly discernible white figure. Sometimes it was at the head of his bed in the middle of the night, sometimes it was a reflection in the water, sometimes it was at the door that suddenly opened, and sometimes it was even behind Feng Xin.
Bai WuXiang seemed to take pleasure in scaring him. Moreover, he deliberately let only him see it. Every time Xie Lian couldn't take it anymore and yelled at him, the others would rush over or turn their heads, and he would disappear. Xie Lian lived these days in fear and anxiety. In his heart, he hated that he couldn't catch this thing and cut it into eight pieces. However, he couldn't even step on the other's shadow. It was inevitable that day and night would turn upside down, and his body and mind would become exhausted.
One day, he woke up in the middle of the night, feeling an uncontrollable thirst. He remembered that he hadn't had a good drink all day, so he got up and prepared to go out and drink some water. However, he heard faint voices and a faint candlelight coming from outside. Xie Lian was startled and immediately hid behind the door. His heart was madly thumping. "Who is it? If it's Imperial Father, Imperial Mother, and Feng Xin, why would they need to be so sneaky? "
Who knew that this sneaky person really was his Imperial Father, Imperial Mother, and Feng Xin. Feng Xin's voice was extremely low. "Is His Highness resting?"
The Queen also whispered, "He's sleeping."
The king said, "It wasn't easy for him to fall asleep. Tomorrow, don't wake him up too early. Let him sleep a bit more."
These words made Xie Lian's heart ache. Immediately after, he heard the Queen say, "Ai … … If this goes on, when will my son get better?"
Xie Lian felt that there was something wrong with these words. At this time, Feng Xin said in a low voice, "He's been too tired recently, that's why he's like this. Too many things have happened. I'll have to trouble Your Majesties to keep a closer eye on him. If there's anything wrong with His Highness, you must immediately tell me. However, don't let him sense it. Also, don't say anything that will provoke him … … "
Xie Lian hid behind the door and listened. His mind was blank, and his blood rushed to his head.
What did this mean? What did this mean?
He roared in his heart, "I'm not crazy! I'm not lying! What I said is the truth! "
Xie Lian raised his hand and slammed open the door with a bang. The three people in the room were all startled. Feng Xin stood up. "Your Highness? Why aren't you asleep?! "
Xie Lian smacked him in the face. "You don't believe me?"
Feng Xin was startled. "Of course I believe you! You … … "Xie Lian interrupted him." Then what did you mean by those words just now? Are you saying that everything I saw was an illusion? That it was my own delusion? "
The king and the Queen wanted to interrupt, but Xie Lian immediately said, "Don't talk, you don't understand!"
Feng Xin said, "No! I believe you, Your Highness, but it's also true that you've been too tired recently! "
Xie Lian looked at him and didn't say anything. However, somewhere in his heart, a cold wind was blowing.
He believed that, on the whole, Feng Xin still believed him. At least eighty percent.
He didn't completely believe him. After all, Xie Lian's recent days were really too crazy. If it was any outsider, they would definitely judge him as a madman. What qualifications did he have to be completely trusted?
But it shouldn't be like this. In the past, Feng Xin would have unreservedly believed him! Even if there was only twenty percent doubt, it was still unbearable!
Xie Lian's heart was filled with anger and resentment. He didn't know who it was directed at. Towards Bai WuXiang, towards Feng Xin, towards everyone, and towards himself. He didn't say a word and turned around to leave. Feng Xin chased after him and asked, "Your Highness, where are you going?"
Xie Lian forced himself to remain calm. "Don't worry about me. Don't follow me. Go back."
Feng Xin said, "No, but where are you going? I'll go with you. "
Xie Lian made up his mind and suddenly sprinted. Feng Xin's speed wasn't as fast as his, and in a short while, he was left far behind. He could only shout from behind. The king and the Queen also came out to shout at him, but Xie Lian turned a deaf ear to them and ran faster and faster.
He had to take the initiative to attack!
If Bai WuXiang wanted to kill Xie Lian, Feng Xin, or his parents, it would be as easy as turning his hand. But he didn't want to kill them. Instead, he wanted to play with him like a toy, and then treat him like a joke!
As Xie Lian sprinted, he faced the dark night and roared, "Come out!!! You monster in the gutter!!! Come out!!! "
Bai WuXiang had come for him alone. Therefore, he believed that Bai WuXiang would definitely follow him out. However, after cursing the heavens and the earth, there were no traces of sneers that floated out from an unexpected dark corner as usual. Nor was there a figure that leisurely appeared behind him and abruptly placed a hand on his head. After sprinting for several kilometers, Xie Lian finally exhausted all his strength. He bent down deeply and used both hands to support his knees. Panting heavily, the smell of rust permeated his chest and throat.
After a long time, he suddenly stood up and continued to walk forward. In a low voice, he said, "… … You want to waste time with me, right? Fine, I'll slowly waste time! "
He didn't know how long he had been walking alone in the barren mountains and wild ridges, but the fog gradually thickened.
All around him, the pitch-black old trees were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. All of them were leaning forward, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive. It was as if they were inviting him to step into a forbidden land of no return. Xie Lian knew in his heart that what lay ahead was not good, but he couldn't avoid it. Moreover, he definitely had to settle this. It would come sooner or later. Thus, he continued to walk forward with a calm face. As he walked, in the white fog in front of him, a row of sparkling objects faintly appeared. It was like a glowing wall.
Xie Lian had never seen this kind of thing before. Slightly frowning, he stopped walking. And that "wall" was actually slowly approaching him!
Xie Lian became vigilant. He broke off a branch and held it in his hand, ready for battle. When that 'wall' was less than two meters away from him, he was stunned to discover that it wasn't a wall at all. Instead, it was countless Netherworld Ghost Fires. Because there were too many of them, from afar, it looked like a wall of fire or a large net.
Although those ghost fires were strange, they didn't have any killing intent. They just silently floated in front of Xie Lian, not letting him continue forward. Xie Lian tried to bypass them, but these ghost fires immediately changed directions and blocked in front of Xie Lian. At the same time, he heard many voices saying:
"Don't go over."
"Don't go over."
"There's something bad in front."
"Go back, don't continue walking!"
These voices were wooden and dense, like a tide, causing chills to run down people's backs. Xie Lian was surrounded by them. He noticed that among these ghost fires, there was one that was particularly bright and quiet.
Although ghost fires didn't have eyes, when he looked at that ghost fire, he seemed to be able to feel a scorching gaze greeting him.
