When Cheng Jiaxuan thought about the unusual relationship between him and Shen Shiyun, she had long been secretly jealous. This time, when she heard him ask again after he woke up, it was as if she couldn't leave for even a moment. Although he was jealous, he maintained a warm smile on his face, "This matter has nothing to do with me. It was my own idea. My … my name is Cheng Jiaxuan. I am the niece of the richest man in the capital, Chen laoye … "
Jiang Liechen asked, "Cheng Jiaxuan?" He silently repeated these three words and felt that they sounded familiar. Then, he heard her mention the richest man in the capital. He was more or less sure of it. He asked, "Then, Cheng Jiahua … … how do you address him?"
Cheng Jiaxuan was shocked to hear XunMi's older brother's name come out of his mouth. "That … that's my older brother! When I was very young, I was separated from my older brother. I haven't seen him since. How … you … have you seen him before? Do you know him? " On one hand, she was happy to have found her family. At the same time, she thought that if he and her older brother were close friends, then she would be his good friend's little sister. Their relationship would become closer.
Jiang Liechen thought, "That year, Jiahua's fiancée was about to be executed. He ran around everywhere but still couldn't resolve the matter. After his failed attempt to rescue the prisoner, I didn't allow him to join the Sacrifice Shadow Sect. Instead, he sought refuge with QingTian Village. According to Lu Qian, he was given the position of second in command. After that, Chen family fell into Shen Shiyun's trap and was exterminated. But because he was away, he was able to escape the disaster. That was six years ago. At that time, this girl was still very young … "
He thought back to when the various sects attacked the secret room. If there were any familiar faces, he would have recognized them too. But he didn't see Cheng Jiahua. He didn't participate in this matter. Whether it was out of loyalty or not, he still had a good impression of him. He said lightly, "I guess you can say that I know him."
Cheng Jiaxuan was overjoyed, "That's great, that's great. I knew that brother wasn't dead. He must still be alive! For six years, I never gave up looking for him. My foster father always told me that he was no longer alive, but I never believed him. Then … then do you know where he is? Can you tell me? "
Jiang Liechen said impatiently, "How would I know?" His tone was full of disdain. Cheng Jiaxuan said in his heart, "His injury has not healed, unavoidably he will not be happy. I must not provoke him again." "Um," he said in a soft voice, "As long as I know Gege is still alive, that's all that matters. I believe that one day, I will be able to find him. "
Jiang Liechen said, "Why are you telling me this?" Right this moment he felt his chest was constricted, he had difficulty breathing. In a bad mood he said, "I want to circulate my internal energy to treat my injury, don't disturb me." "Alright, alright," Cheng Jiaxuan hastily said, "I won't disturb you." She sat quietly on the side, but did not have any intention to leave.
Jiang Liechen did not have time to pay attention to her, he circulated his internal energy around his body, slowly lifted his palms and pushed out, one hand pointed to the sky, the other to the ground, so that his internal energy flowed freely through his acupoints and meridians. Afterwards, he pulled his hands to his sides, the backs of his hands pressed against the ground, his internal energy slowly rose from the hollow of his palms to his arms. He condensed both ends of his palms and rotated them in front of his body, with his right hand facing the sky and his left hand facing the ground. His two hands frequently moved back and forth. He did not know what that strange girl was thinking, so he did not dare to be careless while practicing martial art. Although his eyes were closed, his ears were listening attentively to the noise around him.
Cheng Jiaxuan was standing on the side, he could also feel the frantic flow of energy in his body. Looking at his angular face, he was intoxicated, he did not even make the slightest noise.
This time his internal injury was actually not very serious, it was just that when he was practicing martial art, he was in too much of a hurry, so that his internal energy was diverted. At that time he was anxious to enter the demonic path, the more impatient he was, the more his internal energy could not be suppressed, and then he encountered the attack from the upright sects. At that time his hands and feet were not nimble, his internal energy was weak, he suffered several punches and kicks, mixed with some fierce palm techniques. But unlike some lucky people who were able to open up his meridians, his internal energy did not stop flowing, constantly colliding inside his body, causing his internal injury to become even more serious.
If he could calmly channel his internal energy, it would not take much effort to suppress the chaotic internal energy. But he was in danger and stimulated, how could he still have that kind of leisure? Now that he had calmed his heart, sure enough, he was able to achieve twice the result with half the effort. His internal energy flowed into his limbs and bones according to its proper path, and then became calm.
At this time his whole body was indescribably comfortable, but he also understood that this was only temporary relief. Every other day he had to continue to practice martial art. It would take him half a month of continuous practice before he could completely recover. But at this time, after all, it was much better than the splitting headache he had when he first regained consciousness. He saw Cheng Jiaxuan was still sitting on the side, his face filled with infatuation and reverence. He was extremely disgusted by this expression, so he frowned and said, "Come here, I have something to ask you."
Cheng Jiaxuan was overjoyed, thinking that he was finally being taken seriously. He repeatedly said, "Good! Good! If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I will definitely tell you everything I know, without reserve. Even if I don't know, I will try to find out for you, and then I will report back … "
Jiang Liechen coldly said, "What's there to be happy about? Whatever information I need, I have my own ways to get it, why would I need you to investigate? Just answer my questions honestly. "Cheng Jiaxuan obediently replied," Yes, I will definitely be honest. "Jiang Liechen said," Then let me ask you, do you know me? Do you know who I am? "
Cheng Jiaxuan said, "Long before you knew me, I already knew you. The first time I saw you, I thought you were very formidable, very awe-inspiring … "With a cold laugh Jiang Liechen said," What kind of person claims to be formidable, yet he was injured like this? What nonsense is there to talk about? "
Cheng Jiaxuan said, "That was because they outnumbered me, it was an unfair victory …" Jiang Liechen said, "You think it was a martial arts competition? They wanted to swarm me and kill me together. If I were a real martial art master, I should be able to escape unscathed from a magnificent army with thousands of men and horses. Damn it … if I had mastered my divine skill, I wouldn't be afraid of that group of trash … "
Cheng Jiaxuan clapped his hands and laughed, "Good, good, wait until you have mastered your martial arts, then you can find them for revenge …" Jiang Liechen said, "It has nothing to do with you. You continue to answer. "
Cheng Jiaxuan was snubbed, so he laughed awkwardly and said, "I know you are the Hierarch of the Sacrifice Shadow Cult, known as the 'Seven Evil Spirits'. Since I dared to save you alone, I am not afraid of becoming an enemy of the orthodox sects. "Jiang Liechen coldly said," Why did you save me? Did you want to use this opportunity to become famous? Ha, then I must congratulate you, your wish will come true. You saved the Hierarch of the Devil Cult, how can your reputation be small? In less than half a day you will cause a sensation in the Jianghu. It's a pity your reputation will spread far and wide, which is contrary to your original intention. "
Cheng Jiaxuan anxiously said, "No … that's not it. Ever since I was little I have never liked to be in the limelight. What I want most is to be able to hide in the crowd, so that no one can recognize me. That way I can be free and unrestrained." Jiang Liechen said, "Yet you still want to do something that goes against justice, aren't you asking for trouble?" Cheng Jiaxuan said, "I don't care that much, but I … I did it all because of you! I don't want fame, I don't want profit, and I don't dare to ask for anything in return. I simply want to do something for you, to make you happy, and then I will be happy. "
Jiang Liechen said in his heart, "This lowly servant girl is using a hundred kinds of flowery words to seduce me, do you think I will fall for her trick? I don't even know who sent her, and what does that person want me to do? "Suppressing his impatience, he said," How do you know me? Who told you about me? What did he say? "He was hoping that because she was young and ignorant, she would not be able to withstand his deceit and would confess everything. Cheng Jiaxuan said, "We … several months ago … we met in the deserted village of Hatula. Don't you remember me?"
At that time Cheng Jiaxuan dragged Xuan Shuang to talk to him, but the result was that Xuan Shuang was too shy to continue. Jiang Liechen accidentally gave the Tear of Severing Soul to Shen Shiyun. His heart was filled with thoughts of how to get it back, so naturally he did not have any impression of this little baby girl. Thereupon he remembered something else he wanted to ask, "What is your identity? What is your purpose in going there? "
Cheng Jiaxuan followed him all the way. She was afraid that he did not want outsiders to know a lot of secrets. In order to satisfy his desire, she had no choice but to play dumb. Remembering the lie that Xuan Shuang made up at that time, she said, "I … I am a cattle herder in a nearby village. My younger brother and I were bored, we heard that there was a treasure … there was an immortal in that village, so we went there to play, to watch the fun … you know … after my family was massacred, I ran away, hoping to hide as far away as possible, so that those bad people would not be able to find me. In the end … I ran to the border area, and was adopted by a farmer family. My younger brother was also the son of this family's uncle, so … that … I …"
She had only said one sentence when she suddenly remembered that earlier she had mentioned that she and Cheng Jiahua were separated brother and sister. Fortunately she managed to salvage the situation in time by adding half of her real identity into the story. Only then did she manage to cover up her lie, but her back was already drenched in cold sweat. She could not help but grumble in her heart, "I am so stupid, why did I mention Hatula for no reason?"
Jiang Liechen said, "I didn't ask you to save me, so naturally I won't thank you. Even if I let you cover up what happened in this village, I just want to ask you, the Sacrifice Shadow Cult's headquarter is not a place that can be easily set foot in, ordinary people avoid it like the plague. On the day that the righteous dog thieves attacked, why did you appear in the secret room? Are you with them? "
Cheng Jiaxuan waved his hand, "No! No! I … I am just a girl herding cattle, how could I have the opportunity to know that group of heroes and warriors? That day I went to town to deliver a letter, I saw a large group of people, the scene was spectacular … I … I have been curious since I was a child, I like to watch the fun, so I followed at the back of the group, wanting to see if there was some kind of market or temple fair or something like that … "
She could still deny it at the beginning, but that iron chain in the sky, if one did not have a high level of internal energy, it would be extremely difficult to pass through, how could she cover it up well? Her heart was alarmed, she felt that this lie did not make sense, she could not continue and stammered as she stopped, her hands unconsciously twisting the corners of her clothes.
Jiang Liechen did not believe her at all, but he thought that if there was really someone behind this, she would have been taught a more detailed explanation beforehand, so that she would not be at a loss as to what to do. He pretended as if nothing had happened and said, "Did you save me in front of everyone? Just you alone? Did you have any accomplices? "
Cheng Jiaxuan said, "Yes, they all came to deal with you, only I … only I sincerely supported you and wanted to help you …" Jiang Liechen cut her off, "All right, how's your martial arts?" Cheng Jiaxuan laughed awkwardly, "Not very good," she said, "When I was learning martial arts, I wasn't focused enough, I always thought of slacking off, until now I only know some superficial moves."
Jiang Liechen said, "Is that so?" Suddenly he pulled her wrist and pressed two fingers on her pulse. Cheng Jiaxuan was startled and delighted at the same time, she trembled slightly as she gazed down. She felt that his fingertips were extremely cold, but her heart was warm and fuzzy.
Jiang Liechen did this only to ascertain the depth of her internal energy; if he let her practice martial arts, he could deliberately show his weakness, but it would be difficult to fake the fluctuation of her pulse. He only felt that her pulse was slow and weak, as if she did not know martial arts, so it was even more difficult for him to deduce the truth. Thereupon he continued to probe, "You only know some superficial moves, right? That group of righteous dog thieves are all useless, they just watched you come and go as you please? "
Cheng Jiaxuan said, "That's not it, I … I used a smoke bomb at that time, it was able to make them temporarily unable to see anything, and then … then I took advantage of this opening … ay, I was still relying on the momentum I created earlier, that was all relying on …" She stood up and ran to a corner of the temple, picked up a pile of grass, and removed the outer layer of grass. Carefully she took out a silver-white long sword, saying, "It was all thanks to this sword. It … I heard it is a treasure passed down from the ancient times, it is called the 'Residual Shadow Sword'. "
She was impatient to show off in front of him that she had hidden a strange treasure, and forgot that the 'Residual Shadow Sword' was the Devil Cult's most precious treasure. As a Hierarch, there was no reason for him not to know. She could only blame herself for this, when it comes to love, women lose their brains, it has been like this since ancient times.
