Cheng Jiaxuan said in his heart, "You have the intention to harm others, it's obvious that everybody wants to harm you. I've fought with Yuan Gongzi, not only his martial art is not weak, it's actually very good. Even many masters from the decent sects are unable to block my 'Afterimage Sword' bare-handed. " But this thought only flashed through his mind, as if he was worried that Chen Jiaxuan was proficient in mind reading, he did not dare to linger.
Jiang Liechen said, "When I first heard this kid's words, it sounded like he was speaking from another world. But the outside world is saying that he is nothing more than an idle rich family's young master, relying on his family's wealth to be able to do whatever he wants. Recently he must be tired of his family's discipline, that's why he sneaked out. He went looking for the 'Seven Demons Treasure' just for the novelty, I believe that. "
Cheng Jiaxuan was at a loss for words, his heart was filled with anxiety. Jiang Liechen did not pay him any attention, he focused on his own training. The temple was isolated from the outside world, only the sun rose and set. In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed. Jiang Liechen was thinking about the 'Seven Demons Treasure', he did not want to stay here any longer. He estimated that his injury was about eighty percent healed, he only needed to be more careful when he fought, he might not necessarily fall behind others. He circulated his internal energy in his' dan tian 'and stood up.
Whenever he was training, Cheng Jiaxuan would always sit on the side with his arms around his knees, silently watching him, never saying anything to disturb him. But today she saw that his expression was somewhat abnormal, she was afraid that he would leave her. These days she was hoping that his injury would get better, but she also hoped that the two of them could be alone for a hundred times longer, it would be best if they could be together forever. Sometimes she felt that this thought was selfish, but when she recalled that she was the one who saved his life, she felt less guilty.
Seeing him walking toward the temple door, she quickly stood up and said tentatively, "The news in the barren mountain is blocked, I don't know what kind of changes have happened in Jianghu in the past half month. I want to go down the mountain to investigate, to find out what kind of trouble those people are causing, and then … then I'll tell you …" While speaking, her nervousness was indescribable.
Jiang Liechen did not turn around to look at her, he coldly said, "That's fine, I'll let you go. I forgot to tell you that after you've investigated the matter, you can return to the Imperial Palace on your own. There's no need to come up the mountain again. " Cheng Jiaxuan's heart tightened. His repressed fear was confirmed. He said in a trembling voice, "Then … then why? I said I won't leave you! Then I won't go down the mountain, okay? "
Jiang Liechen said, "If you want to die of old age in the temple, that's up to you. A while ago I did not allow you to leave the temple, just to prevent you from communicating with the upright Sect's dog thieves. Later on you don't need to worry about this anymore. "Cheng Jiaxuan was not annoyed by his heartless words, she gathered her courage and asked," Are you going to leave? She knew that Jiang Liechen didn't like people asking about his whereabouts, so she didn't have much hope that he would answer.
Jiang Liechen was silent for half a day before unexpectedly replying to her, "Everyone else is going to Hetuala to fight for the Life Demanding Slash, when the situation becomes chaotic, it will be troublesome. I'll do the opposite, first I'll go to Shaolin Temple to get the 'Mourning Heart Soul'. I don't know how many of those monks have gone, the defense in the temple must be empty. Even if the Taoists are thousands of li away, they won't be able to rush back in time to help. The only one worth worrying about is Tong Chan. He has been in closed-door training all year round, I don't know how good his internal energy is, but the talkative people are saying that his cultivation has reached perfection, that he has become a living Buddha … "
Cheng Jiaxuan said, "If he doesn't show himself, how can other people know whether it's true or false? They are spreading rumors blindly. Maybe he is like you, suffering from cultivation deviation, paralyzed on the bed when he reaches adulthood, unable to move … "
Jiang Liechen acted as if he did not hear her, he muttered to himself, "Profound Dharma, huh … then let me, an expert in demonic martial arts, fight with him. Buddhism versus demonic martial arts, interesting, very interesting! When that group of false dog thieves have had enough, the officers and soldiers will take advantage of them and bring the Life Demanding Slash back to the Palace, I'll intercept them halfway. That group of exhausted soldiers won't be a problem. The sequence of these joints should be like this, not a single mistake can be made. "
Cheng Jiaxuan saw that he did not hear his slip of the tongue, or perhaps he did hear and did not pay attention to it. Inwardly he rejoiced and clapped his hands vigorously, saying, "Good, good, this is called 'the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind'. That group of righteous … dog thieves … only know how to blindly seek profit, none of them are as attentive as you." Jiang Liechen said, "Although the righteous sect is a bit shameless, they have never offended you. In the beginning, it was you who thought that you were so great because you had the Residual Shadow Sword, so you took the initiative to bully the Mountain Gate and pick a fight. Why are you still cursing them like this?"
Cheng Jiaxuan was deflated, he thought, "They really don't have any deep enmity with me, I'm just helping you vent your anger, that's why I followed your lead."
Jiang Liechen muttered to himself, "That original Young Master also wants to participate in the treasure hunt, at least he can stir up the heaven and earth, the officers and soldiers won't necessarily have an easy time … I have high hopes for him, I hope he won't disappoint me." Cheng Jiaxuan said softly, "I don't care where you go, as long as … as long as I can follow you …" She was hoping that he would be preoccupied with other things and carelessly agree. But as soon as Jiang Liechen heard her speak, he coldly humphed and said, "I still have to deal with that group of righteous' experts', how can I have time to pay attention to you?"
Cheng Jiaxuan hastily said, "I … I won't drag you down. If I have the Residual Shadow Sword, I can also … can also fight one hundred enemies. Let me lend you a helping hand … "Jiang Liechen said," Forget it, no matter how down and out I am, I haven't fallen to the point where I need your help. The Residual Shadow Sword … do you think I'll still give it to you? "
Cheng Jiaxuan anxiously said, "No matter what, this time you met with a great disaster, your life was saved by me, and I also took good care of you for so many days. Even if I don't have any meritorious service, at least I've worked hard …" Jiang Liechen said, "You don't have anything. Who asked you to save me? And now you're here to ask for a reward? "
Cheng Jiaxuan said, "No, I … I'm not boasting about saving your life, and I don't expect you to repay me because of this. I know you don't care about these things, but I'm just begging you … don't drive me away, even if you treat me like air … as long as I can be with you, I promise I won't make any noise, I'll be quiet, I won't disturb you, I won't annoy you. "
Jiang Liechen said, "I told you to get lost as soon as possible, but you don't want to comply. You're disturbing me, don't you know that?" Cheng Jiaxuan begged bitterly, "When have I not complied with your wishes? It's just that this … this … "Jiang Liechen said," If you want to follow me, the devil of the Evil Cult, henceforth you'll also become the public enemy of the Righteous Sects. What's the point? "
Cheng Jiaxuan said, "Even if henceforth I'll become the enemy of the Righteous Sects, henceforth I'll be consigned to eternal damnation, I … I won't be afraid. From the first day I liked you, from the moment I found out about your identity, I already knew there was this layer … but that's not a concern, I … I'm still willing. Besides, I'm a witch who assassinated the leaders of various sects, I've already left the Righteous Path. In that case, can't we be considered fellow travelers? "
Jiang Liechen said, "Then let's go our separate ways, don't come and bother me. There are so many paths of the underworld, who says we're all from the same family? Sacrificing Shadow Cult's foundation of more than ten years has been destroyed in a single day, where should we go from here on out? For the rest of my life, my only goal is revenge. The Righteous Path and the Evil Path are all my enemies. "
Cheng Jiaxuan said, "In that case … if you don't want a friend, you can have a servant, can't you? I still have some use, at least on the surface I'm still Noble Consort Yun's maid. If I follow her, I can steal the Jue Yin Qin and the Tears of Broken Soul for you … "She thought that even if Jiang Liechen was unmoved by external objects, the Seven Evils treasures would still be able to tie him down. Who would have thought that Jiang Liechen would only laugh coldly and say, "I don't need you. Shen Shiyun doesn't have much ability either. Taking two treasures from her hands would be as easy as taking something out of a pocket. "
Cheng Jiaxuan saw that he was about to leave the temple immediately, and that it would be difficult to see him again. In her impatience, she didn't care about the consequences and revealed the information she had gathered earlier. She called out, "I … let me serve you. I don't want to be your concubine, or your soulmate. I'll be very satisfied as long as I can be your servant. I also know that if we're talking about companions, I may never be as good as Miss Chu, and I definitely can't replace her position in your heart … "
Jiang Liechen's countenance suddenly became extremely frightening. Like a flash of lightning, he strode to the center of the temple and grabbed Cheng Jiaxuan's wrist. He coldly said, "What did you just say? Say it again! "At this time, his eyes were no longer as indifferent as before. They were overflowing with murderous intent.
Cheng Jiaxuan looked at Jiang Liechen's ferocious expression. Although she was afraid, it was rare that Jiang Liechen was willing to listen to her carefully. She didn't want to let go of this opportunity. She carefully searched for the right words and said, "I … I said that although I can't compare to Miss Chu, she … she's no longer here. The dead can't come back to life. I'm willing to take care of you on her behalf and accompany you. I know that you love her deeply, and even now you can't forget your feelings. But she didn't treat you well … If you want, you can treat me as her substitute, or as a plaything when you're in the mood. I won't mind. "
Jiang Liechen coldly said, "You've put in a lot of effort in your investigation. I was young and ignorant in the past, and I loved her wrongly for a moment. Is it worth it for you to take this matter seriously? " Cheng Jiaxuan said, "I don't have any other intentions. I just understand you. It doesn't matter if you still love Miss Menglin or not …"
Jiang Liechen couldn't restrain his anger. Suddenly, it exploded. He heavily struck her arm and flung her wrist away. He angrily said, "Who do you think you are? You think you're worthy to mention her name? You think you're worthy to be her substitute? Get out of my way! "
This strike sent Cheng Jiaxuan flying. She sat down heavily on the ground. Her body curled up into a ball, and her head gently leaned against the incense burner table. She felt the unceasing pain in her arm. Her heart clenched, and her vision darkened. She watched him walk out without looking back. Her tears blurred into a blurry shadow, and she gradually lost consciousness.
Around dusk, Jiang Liechen weighed the pros and cons. It wasn't clear what he was thinking, but he returned to the temple. He saw Cheng Jiaxuan's small and thin figure still curled up in the corner. Her face still had traces of tears. One of her arms hung limply on the ground, as if it had been separated from her body. Her other hand was gently placed on her shoulder. She appeared to be helpless, and looked especially pitiful. But this pity would only arise in the hearts of others. Jiang Liechen still didn't care. He lifted his foot and kicked her chest. He frowned and said, "Hey, wake up! Hurry up! "
Cheng Jiaxuan opened her eyes in a daze. She saw the afterglow of the setting sun outside the temple. In this remnant light, she vaguely saw her sweetheart standing in front of her. She almost suspected that she was dreaming. Just as she was about to raise her hand to rub her eyes, she felt that the right side of her body was still aching. Her entire arm had lost all feeling. She wanted to try to move it a little, but the commands in her brain couldn't be transmitted. For a moment, she didn't care about her own condition. She stared at Jiang Liechen with infatuation. She said, "You … you're back …"
Jiang Liechen said indifferently, "I've thought about it. You're not completely worthless. Do you still want to follow me? "Cheng Jiaxuan hurriedly said," Yes! Yes! I'm very willing! No matter where you go, I'll follow you … "She was still very weak, and her voice sounded weak. But one could still hear the unconcealable joy in her voice. Jiang Liechen said expressionlessly, "Speak. Why? What benefits do you want? " Cheng Jiaxuan said, "I don't want anything. As long as you don't hate me and are willing to accept me, that's the greatest benefit."
Jiang Liechen coldly said, "You don't have the least bit of ambition. You have to promise to listen to my orders the whole way. You're not allowed to talk too much. You're not allowed to cause trouble. You're not allowed to disobey my orders. "
