The disciple was so scared that he retreated to the door and reported in a low voice, "It's … it's … Miss Chu has woken up." Zaketu's monstrous anger suddenly disappeared. "Really? Quick! Take me to see her! "He almost pushed the disciple out.
The two hurried to the bedroom and saw that Chu Anlin had already sat up. Her temples were gently pressed against the pillar on the side of the bed. Fine beads of sweat were still hanging on her forehead. She resisted the discomfort and said, "Get out of my way, let me go!" A few disciples at the side cautiously said, "Miss Chu, the Hierarch said that you can't go anywhere before he arrives." "Yes, Miss Chu, it's not easy for us to find a job. Can you not make things difficult for us?"
Chu Anlin gritted her teeth and said, "Go away, let me explain to him …" She was too emotional and coughed violently.
Zaketu looked at her weak and pitiful expression and his heart seemed to be throbbing with pain. He shouted, "Why don't you listen to the Hierarch's wife's words? All of you, get out of here. I want to talk to her alone. "The followers were happy to get rid of this thankless task, so they all left the room one after another.
Zaketu walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. He gently held Chu Anlin's shoulders and called softly, "Anlin …" Chu Anlin saw him approaching and immediately turned her head to the inside. She raised her arm and swung it down. She frowned and said, "Don't touch me! You don't have the right to touch me! "
Zaketu felt as if his whole body was whipped and his heart was in pain. He said, "Anlin, you … why are you treating me like this? What did I do wrong to you? Seeing that I put down my pride and begged you in such a humble manner, don't you have the slightest bit of soft-heartedness? "Chu Anlin's gaze was still facing the inside. The lines of her face were firm and it was obvious that she was not moved.
Zaketu said again, "Are you angry that I hurt that boy? But he was so rude to you. You only have him in your heart. Even I, as an outsider, can see it clearly. He dared to doubt you. I was just teaching him a lesson for you. " Chu Anlin gritted her teeth and said, "That's my business. Since you call yourself an outsider, you don't have to worry about it."
Zarsaktu's eyes rolled wildly. Suddenly, he raised his hand and pressed the mask on his face. He said bitterly, "Could it be … Could it be because my face is ruined? But, but that was for … At that time, I was under the full surveillance of Nurhachi, and it was not easy for me to fake my death and escape. If he wanted to leave the city, he would have to avoid the strict inspection of the city guards. If there was even the slightest mistake, everything would be over. In order to preserve my life and see you again, I had no choice but to disfigure my face beyond recognition. Could it be that … in the end, I've earned your disdain because of this? If that's the case, what's the point of me working so hard to survive … What's the point? " He clenched his fists and punched the wall hard. The banging sounds were incessant, and his strength was so great that the entire room was shaking.
Only then did Chu Anlin turn her head and see that the wall was stained with blood in the blink of an eye. Zsaktu was so hysterical that he was about to break down. She couldn't help but think of the first time they met in the cave, hiding from the wind and snow, and healing each other's wounds. She couldn't bear it. She sighed and said, "I'm not disdaining you. If two people truly love each other, then no matter what one of them looks like, old or young, beautiful or ugly, it won't be a reason for the other person to leave him. "
Zarsaktu seemed to see hope in an instant. He suddenly raised his head and said, "Is what you said true? You don't disdain me, then it's possible for you to accept me, isn't it? Stay with me, ah? I already have nothing. In the past, I was a disloyal and unfilial person who died long ago. Now, I'm a great devil that everyone on the righteous path has to kill. For you, I've almost given up everything. Now, if even you want to leave me, I don't know what's the value of my life? "His voice was close to pleading.
Chu Anlin looked at him in front of her. After removing his layers of disguise, he was as fragile as a child. She sighed and said, "What do you want me to say? I've already pledged my life to Meng Lang. I'm his woman. You can only blame yourself for meeting me too late. In fact, in this world, there are many girls who are better than me. Think about it, we only spent a few nights together in that cave. How much can you understand about me in just a few days? Perhaps what you see is only a kind of illusion. I'm really a … stupid and useless girl. I'm not worth your sacrifice. As for your kindness to me, I'm very grateful. Unfortunately, I can't repay you. I hope you understand that I don't like anyone forcing me. Perhaps my temper isn't that strong, but I definitely won't compromise with power. No matter what they use to threaten me, even if it's my life. "
Zarsaktu stood up proudly and said, "Anlin, I don't want you to repay me. As long as it's something I want, I will definitely get it. That surnamed Meng is just a poor boy with no power or influence. Even if he can endure until the day he becomes the sect master of Mount Hua, how much can he earn? He can't afford to raise you, and he's not good enough for you. Do you understand? And I — "He spread his hands to the side, full of pride as if the whole world was in his arms. He said loudly," I'm the Hierarch of Sacrifice Shadow Sect. Everyone has to submit to my rule, including Mount Hua, all the big and small sects in Jianghu, and even the old emperor on the dragon throne! In the entire Jianghu, is there any place that doesn't belong to my sect? Is there any place that I haven't sent people to guard? Anlin, marry me and become my Hierarch's wife. From then on, you'll have a position that's second only to me and above everyone else. You're a girl who was born to live a happy life. From the first time I saw you in that cave, you were like a drop of dew on a petal. You were so weak, but so strong. From that moment on, I decided to protect you for the rest of your life and give you all the happiness. Not only are you my savior, but you're also the girl I've set my mind on. Anlin, I only love you. No one else can come between us. "
Chu Anlin was moved and helpless. She said in a low voice, "This kind of you is very strange to me. Looking at your fanaticism for power, I even feel scared. You want the world, not me. You only want me to be a beautiful ornament by your side, a tool for you to add flowers to a brocade! If I ever had feelings for you, then the person I loved was the person I met for the first time in the cave, the person who talked to me about everything in the world. "
Zaketu said in a low voice, "Unfortunately, he's already dead. He can't come back. He was killed by his uncle." Chu Anlin said, "Yes, he can't come back. How can I go back?" Everyone was moving forward. No matter how beautiful the past was, how could it be revived in reminiscence?
Zaketu paused. Suddenly, as if he suddenly realized something, he said, "That's right, Anlin. I know. You don't want me to kill people, right? Then I promise you, as long as I can completely stabilize the country, my Sacrifice Shadow Sect won't harm a single life of the common people. We won't harm a single plant in the Central Plains! Isn't this your wish as well? For you, I'll change. I'll change everything. Is that okay? "
Chu Anlin saw his infatuation. Although she couldn't bear it, she had no choice but to harden her heart. She said, "Why do you have to be so stupid and waste your feelings on me? Don't you understand that no matter how hard you work, I can only treat you as my best friend, and will never love you? Because I love Meng Lang. Even if I'm a nobody on Mount Hua with him, I'm willing. I'm willing to wander the Jianghu with him, I'm willing. I'm willing to fish and chop firewood with him, I'm willing. Even if I have to beg on the streets and suffer the cold, I'm willing. When you love someone with all your heart, although you want to stay by his side, you won't restrain him. Instead, you want him to be happy. You'll even sacrifice yourself to help him! If you really love me, please let me find a safe harbor. Please give me your blessings. "
Zach Saktu was flustered and exasperated. He tried his best to calm himself down so that he wouldn't yell at Chu Anlin. He said, "Then, please tell me. What do you want me to do to make you happy?" Chu Anlin's voice was soft but firm. She said, "As long as you let me go and let me return to Meng Lang's side, it'll be the greatest help to me. At the same time, I won't forget you as a friend for the rest of my life. "
Zach Saktu was extremely angry. He circled the room several times like a trapped beast. He raised his fist several times and then dropped it again. Chu Anlin almost thought that he was going to pounce on her and strangle her to death. However, she was stubborn. She still held her head high and refused to look away.
Finally, Zach Saktu sighed and said, "Fine! Before you're willing, I won't force you. I won't touch you. You can rest in this room. However, I definitely won't let you go back to see Meng Anying. No man can be so magnanimous. This is the bottom line that I can tolerate. You'd better not try to offend me again. "After saying this, he fiercely flung his sleeves and rushed out of the room. Chu Anlin looked at his dejected back. It was as if a defeated rooster had appeared in front of her.
The two of them should've been at peace with each other. However, greed always had its shortcomings. After Zach Saktu lost his power, he became especially narrow-minded. He felt that the whole world owed him and this debt had to be repaid one by one. Thus, he would use all means to take whatever he wanted, whether it was a person or an object. Although Chu Anlin was by his side, her attitude was always neither cold nor warm. This made him especially angry.
He heard his subordinates say, "If you want to obtain a woman, you have to obtain her body first. It's far more important than deceiving her heart." This thought surged in his mind. In the end, he used a drunken stupor to break into Chu Anlin's room and forcefully took her. After that, he really regretted it. Who would've thought that Chu Anlin didn't cry or make a fuss. She didn't even ask him a single question. She still lived as usual every day. Zach Saktu had a guilty conscience and didn't dare to take the initiative to inquire. He could only secretly send more people to keep an eye on her to prevent her from committing suicide.
After another period of time, Chu Anlin's mood finally calmed down. She flipped through the books in the study all day long. She read all the secret manuals that Zach Saktu had painstakingly collected one by one. Occasionally, when she had free time, she would talk to him about the way to achieve great success in martial arts. She would gather the strengths of several schools and cover the shortcomings of a square inch.
Although Zach Saktu didn't understand what she meant, he clearly felt that her attitude had improved a lot. Her resistance to him was no longer as obvious as before. Chu Anlin's knowledge was profound and her insights were unique. It was very helpful in his cultivation. Zach Saktu already felt that after her advice, all his problems were solved. He was overjoyed. At the same time, he secretly regretted that if he knew this method was so effective, he wouldn't have implemented it earlier.
Whenever he talked about martial arts, Chu Anlin would follow his temperament and talk with assurance. She could be called a good teacher and helpful friend. However, if he wanted to go further and talk about the joy of becoming a father for the first time, or if he didn't know whether their baby would be a boy or a girl in the future, or if they should make some small clothes for him, Chu Anlin would immediately straighten her face and become as cold as ice. Zach Saktu had been rebuffed a few times and gradually learned to be obedient. He thought to himself that it wasn't easy for the two of them to have such a friendship. There was still a long way to go. How could he not be moved by his deep feelings?
At the same time, Meng Anying also persevered and used all kinds of methods to inquire about Chu Anlin's whereabouts. However, the people who fell into the hands of the Devil Sect were actually as taboo as the Devil Sect itself. After searching for many days, others weren't even willing to talk about this topic. At this time, the original manor lord appeared in front of him.
