Cheng Jiaxuan said, "That was my superior's instruction …" Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly felt that something was amiss, as if she had inadvertently made a big mistake. Just as she was about to cover it up, Jiang Jianchen pressed on, "Instruction for what?"
Standing in front of him, Cheng Jiaxuan felt a layer of invisible pressure. Unexpectedly she did not dare to lie. She stammered, "He wanted me … he wanted me to go to various mountain peaks and use this sword to compete with the Sect Leaders, to show off the Sacrifice Shadow Cult's prowess. In Huashan and Diancang, I must use double the force, and then I must capture the Kunlun Sect's Sect Leader Liang and bring him back to the Palace … "As soon as she said the word 'Palace', she suddenly realized something. But because she was speaking coherently, she did not have enough time to stop, so she still said it clearly.
Jiang Liechen recalled how Li Yijie and the others repeatedly cursed and scolded him in the secret room, accusing him of killing his own Shifu. At that time he did not know what was going on, so he thought these people were making trouble for no reason and did not take it seriously. Now that he heard her story, he suddenly realized, "Turns out she was the one who framed me!" Immediately he wanted to kill her, but then he remembered that the Sacrifice Shadow Cult's destruction was already a fact, it was impossible to salvage the situation. The most important thing right now was to find out who was behind the scenes. Much less he had been in Jianghu for a long time, he had learned to remain calm in the face of change. Suppressing the anger in his heart, he said, "Continue."
Cheng Jiaxuan did not know whether Jiang Liechen understood or not, but her heart was thumping madly in her chest. In order to conceal her identity as the mastermind, she had to put all the blame on herself. She tried her best to make it sound reasonable and believable, so that Jiang Liechen would not be suspicious. She said, "I took advantage of the mission to seek revenge. My whole family was destroyed by the Sacrifice Shadow Cult, causing me to be separated from my older brother when I was little. I am all alone now. This enmity must be avenged. Even if it was not Master's order, I would still do it. "
Jiang Liechen impatiently said, "What do you mean destroyed by the Sacrifice Shadow Cult? We don't have time to care about your family's business! That year, the Chen Mansion was annihilated for no reason at all. It was simply because … "This was another case of injustice. It was all because Shen Shiyun had framed and framed them. It was exactly the same as this operation. However, a few days ago in that secret chamber, An Yesun had repeatedly said that he had caused Menglin's death. He hadn't explained to anyone that he had been wrongly accused. Why should he clarify the truth to this little girl? He snorted coldly and said, "You are indeed here to take revenge on me. Still not admitting it?"
Although Cheng Jiaxuan wanted to cover up the truth, he didn't want him to misunderstand him. He hurriedly said, "No, I don't want to take revenge on you. I don't want revenge! Besides, the one who gave this order was not you … "Jiang Liechen said indifferently," And if it was? "Cheng Jiaxuan shook his head," No … nothing. The Sacrificial Shadow Sect is gone, so I won't take my anger out on you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have risked my life to save you. "" You're saying that you acted on your own and that your master didn't know? " Then when you go back, aren't you afraid of being punished by her? "
Cheng Jiaxuan thought that he was suddenly concerned about him. He hurriedly said, "I've thought about it. I don't want to work for her anymore. Anyway … she has a lot of subordinates. She doesn't need me. Just let me follow you, okay? No matter where you go, I'll accompany you. "Jiang Liechen said," So what if I go to the palace? If you want to follow me, you'll have to disguise yourself to prevent your master from recognizing you. "Cheng Jiaxuan didn't know if this was a trick or not. He nodded solemnly and said," That's right. She's a meticulous person … "
Jiang Liechen coldly said, "You didn't even get to know the bandits of Jianghu, but your master's background is not small. You even got to know someone from the imperial family. Hm?" Cheng Jiaxuan's face instantly turned pale. In front of Jiang Liechen, she looked at him with admiration. She was intoxicated and didn't know how to control her mouth. That was why she unknowingly fell into his trap and revealed things that she shouldn't have said. In the past, she wouldn't have been in such a difficult situation if she had used a few tricks.
Jiang Liechen was no longer interested in playing this interrogation game with her. He said, "Don't pretend anymore. Do you think you can fool me? I advise you to be more tactful … "Cheng Jiaxuan didn't wait for him to threaten her and blurted out," I … I'm Noble Consort Yun's maid. "
Jiang Liechen had been suspicious of this for a long time, but when he heard her admit it, he felt different. He coldly snorted and said, "Shen Shiyun's judgment of people is getting worse and worse. She even brought out trash like you. Last time in Hetuala, was it also her who told you to lie in ambush? "
Cheng Jiaxuan looked embarrassed. She was so wronged that she seemed to be about to cry. She said, "No, it was me who secretly followed her. I heard that there was a mausoleum hidden under the barren village. It was secretly built by Senior Mu Qingyan for Prince Zhuang. The 'Seven Evils Absolute Sound Zither' was found in the Hall of the Dead. Perhaps the Life Claiming Slash is also hidden there. I risked my life to investigate this matter. As for … meeting you … that was just an accident … "
Jiang Liechen said, "You also know about the seven evils treasures. Shen Shiyun obtained the Soul Severing Tears and the Absolute Sound Zither, but she still didn't give up her evil intentions. She sent you to spy on me and steal the treasures after finding them?" Cheng Jiaxuan said, "She didn't expect that you would be able to survive after being besieged by the major sects. It's just that I … it's me … to you … I … don't want to see you in any danger. Do you understand? In the past, there was a Gege called Ye He who also worked under Noble Consort Yun. She had always thought highly of her. Although she died early, I was still very envious of her. "
Jiang Liechen said impatiently, "What does it have to do with Luo Jin?" In his eyes, although the past was unbearable, it was still a precious memory that was unique to him. He couldn't allow others to touch it. Cheng Jiaxuan ignored his avoidance and said, "She sacrificed her life. At least … at least she can leave a mark in your heart so that you will always remember her. What Luo Jin did for you, I can do for you too. I have already decided to betray Noble Consort Yun. Can you … can you not treat me like this? "
Jiang Liechen said in his heart, "I remember her?" Only then did he remember Luo Jin. She was also a girl who was infatuated with him and was willing to die for him. She was threatened by Shen Shiyun, but she was unwilling to change her mind. In desperation, she threw herself into the well in the backyard and committed suicide. At that time, Jiang Liechen was standing on the side, coldly watching her half-body leaning over the mouth of the well. She kept sobbing and crying in a low voice, talking about her love for him, begging him to believe that she had never betrayed him. She also took off the pearl hairpin on her head and the accessories on her body one by one and put them on the grass by the well. She said, "Consort Yun niangniang, I am sorry. You used me, but I never blamed you. I … I know you hate him, you can do anything for revenge, but I … I also really love him. Caught between you two, this pair of enemies, I am in a dilemma. I am too tired … too tired. In the end, I will only end up in a situation where I am neither a man nor a woman. This is the retribution of my weak position … I don't hate anyone, and I don't want to betray anyone, but I am even more unwilling to betray myself. I can't bear to live under his hatred. I would rather die to show my innocence. Even if my body rots and turns into mud and ashes, this feeling will never change. Consort Yun niangniang, forgive me for not being able to serve you anymore! " As she said this, she fell forward, like a butterfly with broken wings falling into the bottom of the well. Soon, a dull 'dong' sound was heard.
Jiang Liechen watched her commit suicide and only sneered, "This woman is also fierce." Although it was different from what he had imagined, he still achieved his original goal of letting Shen Shiyun force her sister to commit suicide. In the future, he would be tortured by guilt and resentment for a long time. It was with this mentality that he swaggered away. After returning to the headquarters, he quickly forgot about this girl who he had a night with. Now, Cheng Jiaxuan said that he envied his former chess piece. Thinking about it, he only felt funny.
After talking to her for half a day, his wound started to hurt again. He said, "Shen Shiyun's new dog, right? Now get away from me, don't disturb my practice!" And then he added, "Remember, you are not allowed to leave this temple."
Cheng Jiaxuan's face was full of sorrow. A few tears fell from his eyes, but he didn't dare to sob. She slowly walked to the corner and sat down. She remembered that he was still willing to let her stay in the temple. Perhaps it was because his daily life was still inconvenient and he still needed someone to serve him. But if she wanted to peek at him from the side, she couldn't bring herself to do it.
She lay down on the ground and pulled a pile of straw to cover her body as a quilt. A few hard stalks of straw poked her chin and neck, making it itchy and painful. She kept crying silently. Her mood was both happy and sad. She was happy because she could finally talk to him face to face, but sad because his attitude towards her was always like he was interrogating a criminal.
Although she was greatly insulted, her heart was still full of affection. She hoped that in the future, she would comply with everything he did and hopefully win his favor. After all, she still had some value to him, which was also good. While thinking, she was finally tired from crying and fell into a deep sleep.
The next few days were like this. Jiang Liechen practiced martial arts wholeheartedly every day, treating her like air. Cheng Jiaxuan was afraid of provoking him again, so she obediently stayed in the corner.
After about half a month, Jiang Liechen's internal energy finally recovered. But if he wanted to break through to the top level, it wouldn't be easy. He didn't dare to rashly try in the short term. Since he was a child, he had been rushing to various places to carry out missions. He didn't have a moment of leisure. On the contrary, these past few days were relatively peaceful and comfortable.
However, although his internal energy was regulated as usual, every injury on his body was extremely serious. If he really fought, he would be implicated. He had no choice but to continue hiding in the small temple. The resentment in his heart also increased with each passing day. He secretly gnashed his teeth and swore that after he recovered, he would wash the Jianghu with blood and make all those who betrayed him pay a heavy price.
One day, Jiang Liechen sat in the middle of the temple. In front of him were several stacked praying mats. He raised his finger and pointed in the air. Halfway through, he affected the wounds on his chest and ribs. The sharp pain went straight to his heart. He couldn't even lift his arm. The airflow he released was only enough to sweep the top praying mat to the ground. When the Hierarch first asked him to practice like this, it wasn't so clumsy. Even though he knew that no one would see, he still felt ashamed.
Cheng Jiaxuan thought that he wanted to test his accuracy, so he had to sweep the praying mats one by one. So he clapped his hands and praised him, hoping to please him. He ran forward and said with a smile, "What martial arts are you practicing? I also want to practice, I also want to practice! "
When Jiang Liechen heard this, he felt that her words were full of sarcasm. He was even more annoyed. He said, "What martial arts do you know? I don't even think you're qualified to feed my moves. Get lost! "
Cheng Jiaxuan sighed. She deeply felt that staying in the temple would only annoy him. She had talked with the Xuan Shuang in private. They both felt that if she wanted to pursue someone she liked, she could attract him more by keeping him at arm's length. What people didn't think was the most beautiful. If enough mystery was added, the effect would be immediate.
She walked out of the temple dejectedly. She wanted to hide nearby for a while. She hoped that he would get used to being taken care of and become dependent on her. He wouldn't get used to not being able to find her. Later on, he would realize her importance. Before she even crossed the threshold, Jiang Liechen suddenly said, "Stop right there. I told you, without my permission, you are not allowed to leave the temple for even half a step. Don't you remember? "
Cheng Jiaxuan was delighted, thinking that finally he could not bear to leave her. She laughed and said, "You also think that it's not bad for us to be together, don't you?" Jiang Liechen coldly said, "You think I want you? If not for the fact that my power is not enough, I would have killed you, this extremely annoying lowly servant girl, early on. " Cheng Jiaxuan said, "Since you don't want to see me, I listened to you and stayed far away. Why are you still not satisfied? Didn't you just … "
