Lu Qian was slightly startled, and then he let out a long, cold laugh. Cheng Jiaxuan was so flustered that she hastily covered his mouth. "What are you doing?" Do you want everyone to know this secret? "Lu Qian sneered and said," What a big secret! I don't know what kind of evil spirit is lurking in there, it's targeting the bird that sticks out … "
Cheng Jiaxuan fiercely stomped his foot, kicking up the dust on the ground. "You're gauging the heart of a gentleman with the yardstick of a villain again," he said, "Where does that secret passage lead to?" He rubbed the tip of his foot on the ground and said angrily, "It leads to a hole in the ground, straight up and straight down. How do you want to go down? Tell me! Girls are afraid of being ugly, it's not as complicated as you think! I help you with good intentions, but every time you misunderstand me! Is my life so bitter, I was born to be wronged? " Thinking about how Jiang Liechen's best attitude toward her was nothing more than mockery and ridicule, she felt even more disheartened. Lifting her sleeve to wipe her tears was an act, but as soon as her tears touched the bridge of her nose, she really felt her eyes sting.
Lu Qian's specialty was to say a few sweet words to comfort a girl, but Cheng Jiaxuan just couldn't arouse his interest. He always felt that her temperament was too gloomy, neither sad nor angry, neither happy nor impatient. She was like a bowl of tasteless warm water, as if nothing could stir up her true emotions. Even when she wore a mask, he didn't find her interesting at all.
His natural disposition was lively, he liked to bicker with people. What he liked the most was to see the other side get angry for a moment, and then he would joke back a few times, and then he would be able to continue. The troublesome thing was that she always had a good temper, that was really boring. Therefore, he was too lazy to spend any effort on her. "According to what you said," he said, "it seems like men aren't afraid of being ugly. You don't have to feel wronged. Tell me, other than stealing the Death Seeking Chop, what other plans do you have? "
Cheng Jiaxuan's face was full of smiles as he said, "That's not true. As a person, one should know how to be content with what one has. How can one continue to push one's luck? If you can help me get the Death Seeking Chop, I'll be grateful to you for the rest of my life. "Lu Qian sneered," What's the use of your gratitude? What benefits can you give me? "
Cheng Jiaxuan said, "If you need my help in the future, just say the word." In her heart, she was anxious for him to quickly agree, so she casually used some Jianghu words to deal with him. But then she also felt that her words were too empty and said, "In the future, you can leave the matter of pleasing Xueer Jiejie to me. It's easy for women to get close to each other. I promise that she'll get rid of Li Yijie and fall in love with you wholeheartedly. "
Lu Qian sneered, "You can't accomplish anything, but you're good at spoiling things. Wait until you've dealt with your own side first. You don't need to worry about me and Xueer. If I have to say what's good about you, it's that you're really good at playing dumb. You're really a good spy material. Even if you're exposed, you won't betray your master. Forget it, I'll say it for you. The most important thing is that after you succeed, you'll get the Death Seeking Chop, right? You want to use me to help you get things done, and then you'll use me as a favor. Where in the world can you get such an advantage? "
Cheng Jiaxuan felt a kind of aggressive oppression; her heart jumped to her throat. She forced herself to calm down and said, "I don't understand what you're talking about." Lu Qian said, "Because you are Jiang Liechen's most loyal little servant. He wants to find the Qi Sha treasure, you want to find it in advance and present it to him respectfully with both hands in exchange for a word of praise. Too bad, he won't thank you. It's not that you're too shy to say it, it's just that in your heart you don't have that kind of thought. "
Cheng Jiaxuan anxiously said, "'Most loyal', that's not wrong. But I'm not … I'm not some little servant! " Because she was fully aware that her status was even lower than a servant's, when she heard these words, her heart was stung even more, and she tried to argue with all her might. Lu Qian laughed and said, "Oh, then what is it?" Cheng Jiaxuan straightened her neck and said, "It's … it's his woman!"
This time Lu Qian really laughed; he felt that her foolishness was somewhat cute. He said, "When has Jiang Liechen ever had a woman? How come I don't know about it? I'm telling you, if you die and your soul attaches itself to the Death Seeking Chop, maybe he'll love you a bit more. I'm not joking with you. "
Cheng Jiaxuan thought that what Lu Qian said was true. She sighed and sat down with her arms wrapped around her knees. She leaned her head against a big tree behind her and said, "You're right." Then she leaned forward slightly and fiddled with a green dog's tail grass in front of her. She gently pulled it out and twirled it in front of her nose. She said, "In his heart, perhaps I'm as lowly as this green dog's tail grass, not worth a second glance. Even if he tramples over my body, it doesn't matter. "
Lu Qian thought, "Here we go again, here we go again. Can't you just talk back a little? Always resigning yourself to adversity, I'm going to die of boredom. "He knitted his brows and said," The biggest similarity between you and the grass is that you won't cry out in pain. Even if other people trample on you, they deserve it. Actually, when you were that masked witch, you had a bit of imposing manner, a bit of Menglin's charm … ay, don't tell me you've been infected by the Afterimage Sword's demonic aura? "
Cheng Jiaxuan clenched her fist and lightly tapped her temple. She said, "I don't know either. But when I wear the veil, I handle things calmly and at ease, as if the world is already in my bag. No matter what I say, no one knows my true identity, so I'm not afraid they'll humiliate me. But as soon as I take off the veil, it's like I'm completely naked in front of other people. I'll suffer all kinds of accusations, supercilious looks, and I'll have to be careful and cautious in my conduct … "Unconsciously, she revealed some of her deepest thoughts.
She looked up and saw that the moon had already reached the middle of the sky. Suddenly she felt impatient and said, "Don't ask anymore, if you delay any longer, the sky will be bright soon. Can't we talk while we walk? At least we'll reach the tomb first and get the Death Claiming Chop first. We'll talk about who gets the Death Claiming Chop later. Right now we haven't even seen the shadow of the treasure yet, what's the point of fighting over it? Actually, if you're willing to let me have the Death Claiming Chop, it'll definitely be a good thing for both sides. You have to believe me … "
Lu Qian said, "That's enough. You don't even believe in yourself, how can I believe in you? But this time I'll listen to you. It's not because I admire you, but because I admire myself. The Death Claiming Chop is in my hands, don't even think about changing hands again. Also, Li Yijie told me to keep an eye on you. He also seems to be constantly on guard. Don't ruin his plans. I'll go and tell him first. "
Cheng Jiaxuan replied, "You're going to say 'three hundred taels of silver here'. Hmm, I understand." Lu Qian laughed coldly and said, "Don't make it sound so unpleasant. This is called passing off the false as the genuine." Cheng Jiaxuan thought about it and was still a little worried. He warned again, "Don't mention a word about the secret passage."
Lu Qian humphed coldly and said, "Don't worry, do you think I'm that stupid? I'm not you. " Finished speaking, he stood up and left Cheng Jiaxuan behind the tree. He looked around and saw Li Yijie and Nangong Xue squatting next to a small shallow pit. The two had been digging here since they arrived. They hadn't moved from their nest for the entire afternoon, but their efforts were still minimal.
Li Yijie waved his hoe to dig out a piece of dirt. Every time there was a hard rock in the way, Nangong Xue would chop it with her sword. The sword could cut through iron like it was mud. It didn't take much effort to swing it around. Her pretty face was smeared with mud and dirt, but she didn't seem to mind. Instead, from time to time she would lift her sleeve to wipe away the dirt on Li Yijie's face. Her movements were slow and gentle, and her eyes were filled with sincere affection. Every time Li Yijie smiled, he would use one hand to gently pat Nangong Xue's shoulder, full of tenderness, while the other hand would work without interfering with each other's work.
The two cooperated with each other very well. Sometimes they would talk and laugh in low voices. They really looked like a pair of loving husband and wife. Outsiders couldn't get in their way. This was supposed to be an extremely heartwarming scene, but Lu Qian just couldn't get used to it. With anger in his heart, he sighed and said, "Alas, the world is unfair. It's a pity that a peerless sword, which used to take people's heads with ease, has now become a pickaxe that spins around in a quagmire. What a pity, what a pity! "
On the surface he felt sorry for the sword, but his eyes were fixed on Nangong Xue. What he meant was that it was a pity that she followed Li Yijie, this useless person. Today he was the Wulin Alliance Leader, tomorrow he would be pulled down from his position and become a commoner. With his martial arts, he couldn't use his internal energy, so it would be very difficult for him to rely on his own strength to make a name for himself. He couldn't bear to let Nangong Xue follow him and live a hard life of daily necessities.
Although Nangong Xue didn't know much about this, but listening to his glib-tongued sigh, she was very familiar with the layer of vulgarity in his eyes. She wanted to be together with Li Yijie. It would be best if there were only the two of them in the world. They didn't have to care about the Wulin catastrophe, didn't have to care about the current situation of the world, didn't have to care about those complicated emotional entanglements, and didn't have to care about the existence of Shen Shiyun, who always lingered in his heart. They would only talk about topics that were common knowledge to each other, and exchange intimate words that they knew each other well. Then they would be able to throw away all their worries, and be as close as they were when they were young, without any worries.
Just now they had managed to get rid of all the distractions and entered a state of self-deception. Selfishly, they hoped that this excavation would continue forever, that it would never stop. It was as if this was the only time they could be a pair of free mandarin ducks. Otherwise, even if he knew there was no hope, even if he could let go of his deep love for Shen Shiyun, as long as the world was not at peace, he would not be able to live in seclusion with her in the mountains.
Shixiong's moral and righteous heart was really too strong, too flourishing, and because of this he was deeply bound, he would never abandon the world. But he had this wish in vain, his ability was mediocre and mediocre, he did not have any talent in this troubled world. The heart was willing, but the strength was insufficient; this was the ultimate suffering. She saw that because of this he was implicated in many things, his heart was in a mess, every night he lamented by the lamplight. She had the intention to help, but it was just a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood, she could not even share his sorrow. This kind of situation could also be called helpless.
It was rare for him to open his heart, for the time being he would throw away all his sorrows. In this tranquil moonlit night he was watching the stars and talking to each other, but then he was disturbed, all his thoughts flew beyond the highest heavens. His heart was full of resentment, and that person was a lecherous wastrel who had always harbored evil intentions toward him. "What are you doing here again?" she asked crossly. Her words carried thirty percent resentment, seventy percent anger.
Lu Qian was startled by her expression. He was good at observing people's expressions, he could see that she was angry, so he did not dare to provoke her. But he recalled that just now the atmosphere was very peaceful, but after a few words the situation took a turn for the worse. Did she really hate him that much?
Based on their conversation in the dark night, even if he and Cheng Jiaxuan quietly went to the secret passage, nobody would notice. In his heart he cursed tens of millions of times, blaming himself for his own error in judgment, he should not have come here. Embarrassed, he waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I was just strolling around, I didn't see anything, I didn't hear anything. You can talk, you can talk." While smiling apologetically, he stiffly moved his legs backward.
Nangong Xue was hoping that he would leave as soon as possible, it would be best if he could disappear in the blink of an eye. While they were not too far apart, perhaps she could find some of her previous interest. To her surprise, Li Yijie called out, "Lu Xian Xiong, slow down a bit. As far as I know, you are not a person who has nothing better to do. Since you came especially to find me, why did you leave without saying anything? What is it? "
Lu Qian smiled apologetically and said, "Miss Cheng, she has been spoiled since childhood, it hasn't even been half a day and she's already not acclimatized. She had a stomachache at noon, and now she's going to the back of the village to relieve herself. I still remember Alliance Head Li's instructions, he told me to keep an eye on her at all times. I can't betray your trust, but I'm afraid you'll be anxious to see her later, so I came especially to ask for your instructions. "
