Nangong Xue said, "That's still not enough … Ay, it's not easy for you to be so well-behaved. But to tell you the truth, I've always valued my reputation and integrity very much. What you did to me at that time has always left a knot in my heart. You can't keep pushing me. Even if you really want me to forgive you, you have to give me time, let me slowly forget about that matter. "
Lu Qian happily said, "Alright, I won't push you! I definitely won't push you! Does that mean that as long as I turn over a new leaf and become a good person, you'll love me and agree to marry me? "Nangong Xue said unhappily," You just said that you'll turn over a new leaf, and now you're back to your old habits. Didn't I tell you very clearly that the only person I love in my heart is Shixiong? In this lifetime, there's no place for you. Why won't you give up? What's the point of being so stubborn? "
Lu Qian said, "Of course it's interesting. I believe that everything depends on effort. As long as I don't give up and wait, you'll definitely be moved by my sincerity and finally accept me." Nangong Xue sighed and said, "That day won't come." Lu Qian said, "Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? You don't love me right now, so I won't force you. But you have to give me a chance to love you and wait for you. You can't block all my paths. "
Nangong Xue blushed. She was touched by his infatuation with her, but she also felt troubled. She was kind-hearted and hated hurting other people, but she also didn't want to go against her own heart just to help him. She was really in a dilemma and didn't know how to refuse. After being annoyed for a long time, she finally said, "If you keep talking nonsense to me like this, I'll ignore you for the rest of my life!"
Lu Qian hurriedly tapped his lips a few times and said, "I won't talk about it, I won't talk about it. Xueer, today I want to tell you something else. Noble Consort Yun sent me out of the palace to handle some matters. I'll be away for a few days and may not be back until some time later. You'll be alone in your room, don't be afraid. "
Nangong Xue's cheeks flushed red, half out of embarrassment, half out of anger, she said, "Who's scared? It's good that you're leaving. I was hoping that you'd stay far away from me and die outside! " Lu Qian's expression turned cold. His facial muscles twisted as he said, "Xueer, you didn't really want to forgive me from the start, did you?"
Nangong Xue could hear the strangeness in his tone, as if he was blaming her; she was immediately enraged and blurted out, "So what? You're the one begging me to forgive you, not the other way around! I have the freedom to choose! You've hurt me deeply. Don't tell me that just because you say it's over, I'll take it seriously? "
Lu Qian sighed. "It's not impossible to put it that way. However, let me tell you in advance that I am going to assist the Huashan Sect. Your Senior Martial Brother Li Yijie has also received the news and will be rushing over in a few days. If you curse me to die outside, you'll be cursing the failure of our assistance. You'll also be cursing Li Yijie and the Huashan Sect to be defeated. "
Nangong Xue was so anxious that she wanted to cover his mouth, but she retracted her hand halfway and said, "What's the matter with the Huashan Sect? Why does it sound so serious? Tell me slowly! "
Lu Qian gloated, "The Huashan Sect is in great trouble. A masked woman attacked the mountain with a sword shadow, and no one could stop her. Now all the disciples on the mountain are lying on their beds groaning. Old Man Meng is even worse. He's unconscious and can't even make a sound. "
Nangong Xue was burning with anxiety. She blurted out, "What!? There's no need to ask. This must be another good show you've planned. How did the Huashan Sect offend you? Why must you kill us all? "
Lu Qian smiled bitterly. "Xueer, why is it that every time something good happens, you don't think of me, but every time something bad happens, the first thing you think of is my name? Am I really that detestable in your heart? "
Nangong Xue was slightly embarrassed. She also felt that her question was unfair to him, but she didn't want to admit her mistake. She said with a bit of sophistry, "It's all your fault! You've committed too many sins in Jianghu. First, you've ruined your reputation. Then, when you talk about those filthy things that shouldn't be exposed, there's no one else other than you. "
Lu Qian shouted, "The Demonic Sect! Am I the only evil person in the world? When you heard that the other party had a sword shadow, the first thing you thought of was the Demonic Sect, right? If I didn't tell you, you wouldn't have known. Now, all I did was provide you with information, and you've scolded me. Tell me, don't I feel wronged? "
Nangong Xue felt even more apologetic. She said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. Then my master … how is he now? " Lu Qian laughed coldly, "His chest was pierced by the sword shadow. Tell me, do you think his injuries are serious? It's a miracle that Old Man Meng hasn't died yet. His life is more tenacious than a worm's. "
Nangong Xue cried out in a low voice. Tears rolled down her cheeks. She said, "My master … my master … it's all my fault." Lu Qian said, "You, don't blame everything on yourself. I don't think there's anything wrong with this. Old Man Meng imprisoned you for six years for no reason. Now he's the one who's about to die from his injuries. This is called karma, it comes quickly! "
Nangong Xue wiped her tears. She said angrily, "How can you be so unsympathetic? My master is injured like that, and you're still gloating over his misfortune? "Lu Qian quickly waved his hands. He said," Fine, I won't scold him anymore. Thinking about it makes me scared. This time Huashan Sect suffered heavy casualties. Luckily I sent people to rescue you from the top of the cliff in time. Otherwise, I'm afraid you wouldn't have survived. "He was hinting that he was her savior and that she should be grateful.
Nangong Xue didn't accept his kindness. She choked back her sobs and said, "Martial Brother Lu, something like this happened to Huashan. There's no reason for me to run away and live peacefully. I want to go back to Huashan now. Can you let me go? " Although her pleading was sincere, she felt that her desire was almost negligible. Unexpectedly, Lu Qian agreed. He said, "Fine, I'll go back to Huashan now!" His response was unusually straightforward.
Nangong Xue was prepared to be rebuffed. But seeing the situation reversed, she couldn't believe it. She said carefully, "I mean, please take me to Martial Brother Lu. Let me go back to Huashan with him."
Lu Qian said, "We won't look for Li Yijie. We won't look for him. I'm here to send you back to Huashan. Let me tell you, it's a good deal to travel with me. I used to go to the hero convention with Chu Menglin from the Demon Sect, and I was her practice target, her mount, and her clown during her free time. But I endured it and served her well. I served her until she was happy. Our laughter never stopped … "Nangong Xue hurriedly interrupted," I'm not interested in those things. I just want to be with Martial Brother Lu! "
Lu Qian's face darkened. He said, "What? No matter what I do for you, you treat my good intentions as ill intent? Am I really no match for that Li Yijie? " Nangong Xue was so anxious that tears were about to fall. She said, "You promised me that you'll win my respect with your actions. You'll work hard to change your ways and be a good person. Now … why …"
Lu Qian said, "I want to be a good person. I'm not a fool. Pushing my beloved woman into the arms of my love rival with my own hands is a stupid thing that only the most idiotic person would do. I, Lu Qian, won't do that. Besides, it's been a few hours since Noble Consort Yun summoned Li Yijie. He might have already reached the city gate. Even if you chase after him, you'll only see a wisp of smoke under his feet. "
Nangong Xue was angry and anxious. She pulled a long face and didn't know what to do. Lu Qian looked at her charming face and didn't want to let go of any opportunity. He smiled and said, "How about this? Xueer, you give me a kiss and I'll take you to Li Yijie." He immediately regretted his words. Seeing Nangong Xue's gloomy face, he didn't dare to offend her again. He quickly changed his words and said, "Okay, if you don't want to kiss, then don't kiss. We'll just hug." Nangong Xue still didn't respond. Lu Qian became bolder and stepped forward to hug her.
Nangong Xue stared blankly ahead. Her hands gently rested on his back. Her eyes were once again filled with tears. Lu Qian was intoxicated with joy and didn't care about anything else. Nangong Xue bit her lip. Suddenly, she pulled out a hairpin from her hair bun and stabbed it into Lu Qian's temple.
Lu Qian had just turned his head and rested it on Nangong Xue's shoulder. The hairpin missed and stabbed deeply into his shoulder. Lu Qian was inexplicably shocked. He slowly turned his eyes and stared blankly at the hairpin. Nangong Xue was afraid that he still had the strength to hurt her, so she pressed the hairpin down a few more inches.
Lu Qian smiled bitterly and said in a low voice, "This hairpin … was a gift I gave you a few days ago. Now, you're using it to hurt me … isn't that destroying my heart …" As he said this, his throat choked and his eyes rolled back. The hand that was holding onto Nangong Xue slowly slid down. His body leaned back and he fell off the bed. With a thud, he fell to the ground. His right hand opened and closed, but in the end, it stopped moving.
Nangong Xue didn't have time to panic. She quickly jumped off the bed and reached out to wipe his breath. She turned and ran out of the room, rushing towards the city gates. On the way, she looked back from time to time in case there were pursuers.
She ran straight to the palace gates and saw soldiers patrolling everywhere. Some of the more powerful princes and nobles were in palanquins. Nangong Xue strenuously looked around, trying to find Li Yijie's familiar figure. However, she couldn't tell who he was. After being separated for so many years, she was afraid of meeting him again. She didn't dare to believe that they would meet again so easily. On the other hand, she was worried that he had already left the palace and left her here alone. She felt helpless and helpless.
She looked around anxiously. Suddenly, she saw a figure flash in front of her. It was Li Yijie. Beside him was a companion dressed in grey. Judging from the figure, it was her junior martial brother, Sha Qi, who took care of her the most.
She was overjoyed and called out, "Senior martial brother!" Just as she was about to run forward, someone suddenly grabbed her shoulder and pulled her back. Nangong Xue lost her footing and fell backward. She found herself on the side of a hidden city wall. He hurriedly stuck his head out to take a look, and saw that the place where he had been standing a moment ago was a group of Imperial Bodyguards with long spears in their hands. If he had retreated half a step later, he was afraid that he would have been captured on the spot.
Sha Qi stopped and pulled Li Yijie's sleeve. "Senior martial brother," he said, "I think I heard Senior Martial Sister Nangong's voice just now. She was calling us from behind!" He looked around and scratched his head. "That's strange. How come I don't see her?"
Li Yijie didn't even turn his head. "Why would Xueer be in the palace?" he said in a flat voice. "You must be missing her too much. That's why you heard wrong. Right now, the matter of the mountain gate cannot be delayed. Looking for Xueer's whereabouts … we can only put it aside for now. I hope she'll take care of herself. " Sha Qi said, "Senior martial sister is the best. Heaven helps the good. She will definitely be safe and sound." "I hope so," Li Yijie said indifferently.
Nangong Xue's enthusiasm was doused with cold water. She thought, "Junior martial brother also remembers to always think about me. Do you only think about Shifu and Huashan Sect? But when they were in danger, where were you? "
But now wasn't the time to be calculative. She anxiously called out, "Senior martial brother!" She wanted to ignore the surrounding Imperial Bodyguards and run away. Unexpectedly, a cold voice came from behind her. "Where do you think you're going?" Nangong Xue couldn't help but turn around. She was pushed against the wall with one hand. Just as she was about to fight back, she saw that person and was stunned. "Young … Young Marshal Yun? It's you? "She couldn't help but blush." Thank you, "she said," for saving me again. "
