Cheng Jiaxuan was both amused and ashamed. He said, "So you're angry because of this? Ay, I've gone too far. I'll apologize to you here! But wasn't it to appease my Yifu, so I chose to say what he liked to hear? I made you sound worse so that I could avoid bringing you trouble. "
Xuan Shuang sneered, "Come on! If the Prince Regent is behind you right now, and you want to say to him that you only chose to say what I liked to hear in order to appease me? You're just trying to coax me. Ay, aren't you tired of trying to win from both sides? I've said before that I don't like other people double-dealing with me. You can express whatever you want. "
Cheng Jiaxuan was already full of grievances. His guilty conscience unexpectedly gave birth to anger. He said angrily, "How can you speak so lightly? Of course I care about your safety from the bottom of my heart … "Xuan Shuang slapped his forehead and pretended to suddenly realize something. He said," Aiya, look at my memory! Of course you're really worried. But you're not worried about me, you're worried that no one will help you gather information. If you ask my Niang about this, it's naturally unrealistic. Besides, I can't find any suitable candidates. How can I let a chess piece that hasn't been used up be eliminated midway? "
Cheng Jiaxuan angrily said, "You're wrongly accusing me. I … I've never thought about that …" Her nose was sour, and tears uncontrollably poured out. Xuan Shuang's heart softened. He took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears. He sighed and said, "Look at you, you're really useless. Your mentality is so weak. You cry over such a small matter. There's something I really don't know if I should tell you. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the blow. The last time we met in the ancient tomb, the person who was with my Niang, do you know who he is? "
Cheng Jiaxuan's eyelashes were still glistening with tears, but his words attracted her full attention. She pulled his hands and said, "You found out? Quick … tell me quickly! "Xuan Shuang hesitated." You really want to know? Many times, it's better to be unclear. Why don't you keep the beautiful memories in your heart and stop pursuing the truth? "
Cheng Jiaxuan anxiously said, "I must listen! Don't worry, I can hold on. Since you're willing to work so hard for me, you should tell me the end of the story. My future path is my own business. I won't regret it. "
Her words were hurried and loud. Xuan Shuang sighed and looked at her as if she was a dying person. He spoke slowly, "He is the current Hierarch of the Shadow Sacrifice Sect. His real name is Jiang Liechen. He obtained this position through a rebellion. Ever since he made his debut, he was known for being vicious and merciless. He killed both his parents and his teacher. He was cruel and ruthless. He is also an enemy of my maternal family. Six years ago, in order to snatch the Soul Severing Tear, he burned down Shadowless Mountain Villa. In the past, he and Young Marshal Yun were both disciples of the Shadow Sacrifice Sect. They were like brothers. Later, Young Marshal Yun was dissatisfied with his actions and became his enemy. In order to seek revenge, he agreed to submit to the Imperial Court. "
He paused many times as he narrated and carefully peeked at Cheng Jiaxuan's expression. After a long time, he finally finished. He hurriedly comforted her. "You fell in love with the Hierarch of the Demon Sect. This is an ill-fated relationship. It's destined to have no good results. Although it's said that the Heavens are playing with people, when you think about it, there are many signs that prove it. My mother once called him Hierarch Jiang. It's my fault for being too stupid. I didn't pay attention at that time. Fortunately, nothing has happened between the two of you. It's better to deal with the pain quickly than to prolong the pain. It's better to see things clearly now than later. It's better than you getting hurt in the future. "
Cheng Jiaxuan's expression was normal, as if Xuan Shuang was just talking to her about common things. He smiled and said, "That's good. I already knew that he wasn't an ordinary person. The Hierarch of the Shadow Sacrifice Sect is very prestigious. That's why he's worthy. Then, the Miss Chu that they mentioned a few times, who is she? "
Xuan Shuang stared blankly and said, "You didn't ask me to investigate this matter for you?"
Cheng Jiaxuan inwardly blamed herself for being too impatient. Just as she was about to formally entrust the matter to him, Xuan Shuang helplessly shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "When it comes to your matters, I won't wait for you to say anything. I'll arrange everything for you first. This Miss Chu's name is Chu Menglin. She's the daughter of the Demon Sect's Hierarch. She's a natural beauty. Jiang Liechen and Young Marshal Yun grew up together with her. At the same time, they fell in love with her. On the surface, everyone was harmonious, but behind her back, they often fought for her affection. I heard that they put in a lot of effort to complete their missions. They also used all sorts of methods to make this Miss Chu smile. At that time, Jiang Liechen was still the Cult's Young Master. His ability was outstanding, and he was quite appreciated by the Hierarch. Among the disciples, there was a rumor that he and Miss Chu were a couple. Too bad this Miss Chu's taste was too high. She didn't like either of them. Instead, she fell in love with our Da Qing De's Prince Yu at first sight in the army camp. Eventually she stole the Cult's most precious treasure, rebelled and fled. She accompanied him to the Hall of the Dead in the royal tomb. Before he went to the battlefield, she gave him the Residual Shadow Sword as a self-defense weapon. In the end, my Empress plotted to frame her, so that she was heartbroken and left with a grudge. "
Cheng Jiaxuan said, "Chu Menglin is really lucky! But her taste is too picky. I wonder where she is now? I … I want to see her. I want to see what kind of girl can move Hierarch Jiang's heart. "
Xuan Shuang said, "You can't see her, because she died six years ago. People have different opinions about the cause of her death. Some say she was betrayed by her lover and killed herself in despair. Others say she was hit by her father's' yin palm ', so her internal injury flared up and she died. Until now there is no definite conclusion. "Cheng Jiaxuan nodded. He asked," Didn't you say that Hierarch Jiang … liked … Chu Menglin? If so, how could he kill her own father? "
Xuan Shuang said, "Some people say that it was precisely because he liked Miss Chu that the Hierarch opposed their marriage. In his anger, Jiang Liechen murdered him. But I think this story is just some random fabrication by some literati and literati. They are so bored that they have a soft spot for the old-fashioned drama of love and resentment entanglement. This is clearly a drama of power and influence, a drama of usurping the throne. But this generation of vulgar people forcibly changed the story into the bitter love story of a pair of lovebirds. It really makes the story less interesting, it makes people lose their appetite! Also, in the Gu Mu, we heard him admit with his own mouth that he was completely indifferent to Miss Chu's death, as if she was nothing more than an ant. When that Miss Luo Jin was mentioned, he was even more blunt, saying that he deliberately killed her to make my Empress feel guilty. For the sake of his own preference, he was willing to do anything, implicating so many innocent people to lose their lives. This kind of heartless and unscrupulous animal, you also like him? "
Cheng Jiaxuan ignored his emotional outburst. With a gentle smile on his face he said, "You forget, I was also there, I saw it with my own eyes. At that time I didn't care, why would I take it to heart afterwards? Perhaps his conduct is indeed somewhat … But it's also because of this that other people deeply hate him, only I truly love him. He should treat me differently, shouldn't he? Besides, whether it's Chu Menglin or Luo Jin, even if they were still alive, I would still fight for him. Now that the heavens are in my favor and my two rivals in love are no longer around, this means that I still have a chance. "
Xuan Shuang's face darkened, "But why don't you think about it? All the women who had anything to do with Jiang Liechen all died an unnatural death. When have you ever seen any of them have a good ending? He's clearly an inauspicious person, or perhaps his conduct is too evil. His actions have incurred the wrath of the heavens and the resentment of men, causing the people around him to suffer miserably. "
Cheng Jiaxuan smiled and said, "Miss Jin isn't the only one who's willing to die for him. As long as he says the word, I'll immediately sacrifice my life without hesitation. I don't have extravagant hopes that he'll cry for me. As long as he cares for me even a little bit, and remembers that I once existed in this world many years later, I'll be very satisfied. " Xuan Shuang was so angry that he wished he could kill himself, "Don't talk about death all the time. If you want to be with him, you have to be alive to have a chance! Alright, seeing how smug you are, I'd like to hear how you're going to get to know him. "
Cheng Jiaxuan said, "I … I'm not too sure either. However, I'm Noble Consort Yun's maidservant, so I'm often by her side. Next time when Hierarch Jiang comes to find her, I'll stay by her side and take the opportunity to say some nice things to him. For the sake of Noble Consort Yun, he should also respond to me with a few words. Moreover, when he sees me, his attitude is especially friendly, which is a stark contrast to the others. Perhaps he'll regard me as his only confidante and be willing to interact more with me … "
Xuan Shuang snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "That's a very bad idea. Not only is it useless, it'll also arouse my mother's suspicion. What will you do in the future? If you ask me, Jiang Liechen loves the seven evils treasures the most. Why don't you take a risk and steal the Severing Soul Tears and the Jueyin Zither from my mother's place and give them to him? I don't believe he won't be happy when he sees them. "Cheng Jiaxuan happily said," That's right! Why didn't I think of that? Thank you very much for your reminder! I … I'll go right away! "
Xuan Shuang quickly pulled her back and made a mournful expression as if he wanted to cry but had no tears. He said, "What right? Have you lost your mind? Ay! You absolutely can't do this kind of thing. Do you want to become the second Luo Jin? Previously, when you took the treasures for your Yifu, you still had some rationality and knew how to make a choice at the right time. Why are you muddle-headed now? "
Cheng Jiaxuan frowned and said, "I can't do this and I can't do that. What do you want me to do?" Xuan Shuang saw that she was standing on the edge of the cliff and that if she was the slightest bit careless, she would lose her footing and fall off the cliff. However, he didn't want to be an old master who only admonished his superiors and advised his superiors all day long. He sighed and said, "Forget it. I'll play the vanguard for you. I'll try to befriend him first and then introduce you to him. When the time comes, he'll have to give me some face and won't treat his Xiongdi's friend badly. "
Cheng Jiaxuan happily said, "Thank you very much! If you can do this, I … I promise I'll never quarrel with you again. I'll listen to whatever you say, okay? "Xuan Shuang forced a smile and said," That won't be necessary. "His heart was filled with jealousy as he thought," For him, you're willing to do anything. For you, I … but what am I? " After returning to the Palace, he left her behind and strolled around alone. Unknowingly, he arrived outside An Yesun's room. Xuan Shuang was excited; he tiptoed closer and put his eyes on the window to size up the room.
Before he could see clearly, he saw a flash of cold light in front of his eyes. Although Xuan Shuang didn't have much experience facing an enemy, his reaction was quick and nimble. He quickly kicked his feet and leaped up. 'Whoosh, whoosh!' Several silver awls brushed past the soles of his feet. Xuan Shuang was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat. If he had been one step slower, his head would have been pierced through. Before he could stabilize his center of gravity, five silver awls flew toward his waist. Xuan Shuang somersaulted in the air and fell to the ground. He rolled several times before he got up and leaned against the wall by the window. "Yun Shao Shuang," he called out, "I … I'm Xuan Shuang. I admit defeat. Please don't test my martial arts anymore!"
Inside the room, he saw a blurry figure sitting on a straw mat. Listening to his words, he was the traitor of the Sacrifice Shadow Cult, An Yesun. His back was facing the light. "Of course I know it's you," he said coldly. "Tell me, why did you peek at me practicing martial arts?" Xuan Shuang said, "I didn't peek! It's just that I have something on my mind that I can't tell anyone. Thinking about our friendship, I came here to pour out my grievances. "
An Yesun snorted and said impatiently, "I don't understand the trivial matters of you juniors. Why are you telling me?" Xuan Shuang laughed and said, "I don't understand other things, but you must be an expert in this matter! I'm ashamed to say that I took a liking to a girl, but she has someone else in her heart. Originally, I should have helped her, but the truth is in front of me. If I let her follow that person, he won't treat her well. I can't bear to reject her. If it were you, what would you do? "
