"Why are you being so long-winded?" Jiang Liechen asked. Without saying anything more, he turned around and walked away. "Hey!" the Xuan Shuang called out. "Hey!" Helpless, he had no choice but to put on his overcoat and run after him, while muttering, "He really is a madman."
The two of them, one in front and one behind, arrived at the forest. Jiang Liechen was leaning against a tree trunk, his face was stiff, as if walking these few steps was extremely strenuous for him. The Xuan Shuang slowly followed him. When he opened his mouth, there was still some resentment in his voice. "Luckily Xiao Xuan is not seriously injured right now. Otherwise, I really don't want to talk to you anymore. "
Jiang Liechen coldly said, "You're really a good-for-nothing. Is that s1ut that important to you? A person with a weak point can never become a real strong person, because he will always have something to worry about, and in the future he will be controlled by others. "" I don't care, "the Xuan Shuang said. "If I live in this world, and the person I want to protect is no longer there, even if I have unparalleled power, what good is it?"
Jiang Liechen was slightly startled. He remembered that in the past, in front of Chu Menglin, he also tried his best to show off. Now, even if he had great achievements, he would not be able to see the envy in her eyes. His heart was filled with grief. "Giving up on oneself is the behavior of a weakling," he said, "You can't be like this. If I really killed her, you should be even more resolute in your beliefs and focus on getting your revenge on me. Wait until the day comes, then kill me. "
"You are really strange," the Xuan Shuang said, "You really are strange. You obviously love to live, you want to be the most powerful person in the world, you want to dominate the world, yet you always talk negative things out of your mouth. If you really want to die, just cut your own throat with a knife. Why do you want me to kill you? "
Jiang Liechen said, "It's true that I can die, but I can't let my reputation fall. If I can cultivate a successor who is on par with me, whose martial art is a notch above mine, so much so that he has the ability to kill me, then he can inherit my foundation, and carry it forward from generation to generation, until thousands of years later. Then I will have no regrets even if I die. "
Xuan Shuang frowned and said, "Your way of thinking is really strange. But I advise you to give up this idea, I will never be your successor. "Sighing, he asked," That's right, how is your injury? "
Jiang Liechen said, "He won't die. I've suffered countless injuries in my life. I'll be fine after a few days of recuperation. "His eyes suddenly flickered. Then, he sneered and said," How rare! It's rare for you to take the initiative to care about me. "
Xuan Shuang said, "Of course I care about you! You're my master! However, this is also quite good. At least it shows that you are not completely undefeatable. I still have some hope for my future. "Jiang Liechen snorted coldly," What's there to say? Li Yijie using that kind of thing to deal with me is simply an unfair advantage. In terms of true strength, he's definitely no match for me. "
Xuan Shuang said, "What a joke! In order to get rid of you, the ten thousand evil demons, many powers have gathered together and merged their forces, all for the sake of waiting for the right time to surround you and achieve miraculous results in one fell swoop. Among your many enemies, other than me, who would be willing to talk about fairness with you? "
Jiang Liechen's eyes turned arrogant. He said indifferently, "Those ants and rats can't touch me, and I've never cared about them. You alone are enough. "
Xuan Shuang's heart suddenly welled up with the helplessness of a strong martial artist. He really didn't dare to imagine that his future would be the same. In a split second, he felt a kind of sympathy for each other. He sighed and said, "Don't say it like you're about to die. That's right, Li Yijie has something to ask of me today. I told him to find that kind of secret weapon for me to see. I want to study it carefully and see what kind of secret it has. "Jiang Liechen's eyes swept over him and said," What? You want to use it to kill me? "
Xuan Shuang kicked him and shouted, "Get the hell out of here! I've said it before, if I want to kill you, I'll do it fair and square. Do you think I'm a man who doesn't keep his word? " Seeing his miserable appearance, he couldn't bear it. His tone softened a bit as he said, "I'm doing this for your own good. After I've investigated everything, I'll tell you everything clearly. Don't be muddle-headed and die from these secret weapons. If you get in the way of my revenge, I won't forgive you. "
Jiang Liechen's expression dimmed. "Is that so?" He said, "Thank you very much." Perhaps it would be difficult for either of them to explain the reason. But Xuan Shuang was the only one who truly cared about him. He didn't know if it was because of the master-disciple relationship, or because he was kind-hearted. Since he didn't want to say it clearly, he might as well leave some leeway for the time being. Then he asked, "What did Li Yijie ask of you?"
Xuan Shuang said, "Why should I tell you?" Jiang Liechen sneered slightly. He was silent for a long time before he said, "If he asked you to do anything, would you betray me?" When he said this, he didn't sound like he was joking. His tone even sounded a bit serious.
Xuan Shuang glared at him unhappily and said, "I don't want to be a villain! If he has the ability, tell him to investigate it himself! Hey, if you have the leisure to care about that, why don't you come with me to see Xiao Xuan? If she knows you've come to see her, she'll be so happy that she'll go crazy. That way, her illness will be cured … "The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He reached out to pull on Jiang Liechen's sleeve.
Jiang Liechen calmly pulled his sleeve away and said, "I definitely won't fall in love with her. You've made her forget that I'm you. If she continues to be stubborn, it won't do her any good. "
Xuan Shuang said, "That's right, that's what I told her. Who told me to say that my words don't carry much weight? She simply won't listen to me. This is your own family's evil debt, you have to be the one to settle it. " After pausing for a moment, he suddenly had an idea and said, "I'll be honest with you, Li Yijie hasn't had time to deal with you recently. He's very busy with his personal affairs. "
Jiang Liechen's mind spun several times. He knew that Li Yijie's personal affairs were always between women. If it wasn't because of Shen Shiyun, it was because of his martial sister. And from what he had seen recently, it was most likely because of the Nangong Xue incident.
He remembered that last time in Chaozhou, he was in a deadlock with the Shangguan Yaohua. It was Prince Fu who arrived in time to break the deadlock. After the incident, he was so angry that he simply set fire to the Shuiyue Nunnery and killed several old nuns. But he still couldn't catch the Nangong Xue. He didn't know where she had escaped to.
For the past few days he had been running around everywhere. Other than massacring the city, searching for the Nangong Xue's whereabouts was also his main goal. Since he was determined to 'give Li Yijie a taste of his own medicine', he must not lose this important bargaining chip.
He was going to ask Xuan Shuang about it, but first of all, he might not know everything. Even if he heard some secret information, he might not be able to tell the truth. Second of all, he didn't want to rely on his disciple. In the end he didn't mention it and only said, "Li Yijie is that kind of person. In his eyes, there are always some messy things that are more important than the country and the world. Yet he is determined to save the common people. He is using every possible means to destroy me. It's really laughable. "
Xuan Shuang said, "Radish and green vegetables, everyone has their own preferences. Xiao Xuan treats you so well, even a cold-blooded and heartless person would be moved. Even if you go to see her, it won't take up too much of your time. Why are you making all kinds of excuses? Could it be that you also have some 'personal affairs' to attend to? "
Jiang Liechen coldly said, "You're too long-winded. I don't love you either. Goodbye. "Finished speaking, he really turned around and walked away. Xuan Shuang stood in the middle of the desolate forest, staring blankly at his back. For no apparent reason, he felt a burst of sadness. He stood there for a long time, thinking that his feelings for him were nothing more than 'difficult to understand'. This kind of sad person happened to be the world's most evil devil. Wasn't this kind of thing funny? He sighed. On this cold winter night, he silently watched as a wisp of white smoke gradually dissipated in the air. It wasn't until there was not even a wisp of shadow that he turned around and returned to the Snow Song Palace.
The first thing he did was rush to check on Cheng Jiaxuan. He saw that she was still not breathing. Her palms were ice-cold. Just by touching them, he felt as if he was holding a few pieces of ice. The Imperial Physician had always said that the most difficult part of this illness was that it was difficult to detoxify the poison and suppress the heart meridian. Now that she had taken the antidote with great difficulty, if there was still no improvement after several days of recuperation, then it would be tantamount to destroying the last bit of hope. He sighed, "Xiao Xuan, why don't you wake up? I'd rather you wake up and see that I'm not by your side. You'd grumble and scold me a few times. Perhaps that would make me happier. Just don't be so lifeless like this … Hey, I'm telling you, I just saw your sweetheart and even said a few words. Why aren't you awake yet? Quickly get up and chase after him! Don't you love him more than anything else? As long as you chase after him, he'll be yours. If you continue to pretend to be asleep, then it means that you don't like him at all. Hey … Hey? "After chanting a few words, there was still no improvement on the bed. He felt that this method wasn't working. He raised his head and leaned against the pillar next to him. Once again, he sat alone all night until dawn.

In order to complete the Xuan Shuang mission as soon as possible, Li Yijie could be said to have put in a lot of hard work. After running all over the place, all he found out was that there was only one secret projectile, at least in the Central Plains, there was no other similar thing. Shunzhi also said that it was specially acquired for the purpose of capturing the Seven Malevolent Demons.
Li Yijie had no choice, but he wasn't willing to give up. He went around in a circle to look for those experts from the west who were proficient in mechanisms and secret projectiles. After listening to them in confusion, he finally obtained a blueprint with great difficulty. (Actually, those people also felt that 'rotten wood can't be carved' and didn't want to waste their breath on him.)
Li Yijie was happy and at ease. After waiting for several more days, there was still no improvement. Without any better option, he directly took the blueprint and handed it in. Of course, he had to explain himself a little. In fact, this way, he could analyze the principle of the blueprint and study it in detail. Not only that, he could avoid the trouble of dismantling the blueprint.
As soon as the Xuan Shuang saw this, he was very happy. He had always been the type of person who pretended to be innocent after getting a bargain. He deliberately put on a serious face and said, "What? I want the real thing, and you want to use this toy to send me off? Fine, since you want to haggle with me, then I'll settle the score with you. According to my mission, you haven't even completed half of it. But I'm magnanimous and I'll consider you to have done half of it. Even if I give you an idea, I can only pick one at random. When the time comes, whether it works or not, it has nothing to do with me. So, are you still willing to listen? "
Li Yijie was an honest person. He didn't know that Xuan Shuang was laughing crazily in his heart. Xuan Shuang's heart was only filled with regret for failing the mission. He held the attitude of a dead horse as a living horse and nodded. The Xuan Shuang beckoned him to come closer. He whispered a few words into Xuan Shuang's ear. Li Yijie's brows furrowed tighter and tighter. Finally, he was tongue-tied and said, "This … will it work?"
The Xuan Shuang sneered and said, "What, you don't believe me? Then why do you need my help? " Li Yijie thought about how every time he did something, although his methods were strange and eccentric and difficult to understand, he always reaped miraculous results. He smiled bitterly and said, "No, I'm not. I'm just worried that if I'm too stupid, I'll make a fool of your plan. "
The Xuan Shuang nodded profoundly and said, "Oh, if you really don't dare, then it doesn't matter. You can just be Hero Li and Miss Xia with her for the rest of your life. When she gets married, you can go and congratulate her as an honored guest. Actually, this is quite good, isn't it? There's no need to have known each other before meeting, hmm? "
After being provoked by him, Li Yijie actually felt a sense of fear in his heart. For a long time, he was used to having Nangong Xue by his side. This habit gave birth to a kind of neglect. It wasn't until the old balance was broken that he felt discomfort.
