Xuan Shuang was already distracted. Hearing her miserable scream, he was so startled that he almost fell off the chair. "Hey," he complained, "You scared me to death! Your Shixiong ran far away to avoid danger, and now you're picking on an honest person like me to bully? "
Nangong Shuang frowned and rubbed the back of her neck, which still hurt a little. "You … why are you here? How long have I been unconscious? Do you know … where did my Shixiong go? " Xuan Shuang said, "Oh, I can only blame myself for being unlucky. I just happened to pass by and your Shixiong knocked me out. Maybe he didn't want me to interfere with him. As for you, you were unconscious for about six or eight hours. Hmm. "It just so happened that the sky outside was covered with dark clouds, which created a basis for his lie.
Nangong Shuang was astonished. "What?" I … I don't have the time to waste. I want to chase after my Shixiong! "As she said this, she struggled to stand up and almost stepped on the teacup. Xuan Shuang was very worried. Seeing her almost banging her head against the door, he called out, "Wait! You can run a lot in six or eight hours. You won't be able to catch up with him. Don't go! "He bent over to pick up the teacup and said," You just woke up and hurt your throat. Come, drink some water first to soothe your throat. "He braced himself and handed over the teacup.
Nangong Shuang had a moment of doubt in her heart. With Xuan Shuang's martial arts, there was a difference between him and Li Yijie. He shouldn't have been able to knock Li Yijie out in one move. But looking at the room, it didn't look like a fierce battle had just taken place.
But as soon as she thought about it, her doubt was washed away by anxiety. After all, no matter what the truth was, Li Yijie had taken the risk himself. She said anxiously, "Even if we can't catch up, we still have to! I can't just watch something happen to Shixiong … if worst comes to worst, I'll go to the Hall and tell the Wulin fellows to split into six groups to chase after him. We'll find Shixiong sooner or later … "
Xuan Shuang frowned and said, "Alliance Master Li has already informed us that he will be away for three months. Please do not inquire about his whereabouts. Isn't that clear enough? He even told everyone not to neglect their martial arts and to focus on practicing martial arts in anticipation of a future battle. If you come here to add to the chaos, won't you shake the morale of the army? When Alliance Head Li finds out, what will he think? "
Nangong Xue felt as if she had been punched hard; her body went limp and she sat down on the floor. As if all her strength had been sucked out of her, she softly said, "That's right, I'll only bring him trouble, that's why Shixiong doesn't like me anymore. He doesn't want me anymore …" Xuan Shuang said, "That's right, that's why you should rely on yourself, so that he won't have to worry about you. Before he left, he told me to take good care of you and not let you do anything stupid. Come, drink this cup of water first. If you want to help him, then take care of yourself for him. This is the only thing you can do. "She brought the tea closer.
Nangong Xue shook her head and said, "How can I be in the mood to drink water right now? Shixiong, he … this time he's determined not to want me, isn't he …? " "That's right," Xuan Shuang said, "Your Shixiong sees that you're a vicious person, so much so that he's tired a lovely child to serve you tea for a long time, yet you still refuse to accept it. What he wants is a good wife and mother who knows how to take care of her husband and children, so he's looking for an excuse to dump you. If it were me, I wouldn't want you either. "
Nangong Xue knew he was joking, so she smiled faintly. She reached out to take the teacup, but did not drink it immediately. Instead, she stared at the teacup, lost in thought. Xuan Shuang said in his heart, "If I rush her too much, she'll be suspicious. Why don't I lure her to say a few more words? When the time comes and her mouth is dry, naturally she'll drink it. "" Why do you say that? "he asked crossly.
Nangong Xue said, "In the past, no matter what kind of difficult task he went to do, even if he didn't take me with him, at least he wouldn't insist on hiding it from me. But this time … I really have a very bad premonition. Although I don't know what he's going to do, I have a feeling … that he's going to die. "
Xuan Shuang's heart skipped a beat, and he thought, "Could this be the so-called telepathy between two hearts? Ay, when will I be able to find a woman who's so compatible with me? " His heart was burning with anger, and he mocked, "Oh, I wonder if Miss Nangong is a Jianghu practitioner, or a deity who descended from the heavens to know everything in the world just by relying on your premonition?"
Nangong Xue blushed and said, "It's always better to be safe than sorry. If there's nothing strange about it, why is it that no matter how hard I begged him, he wouldn't reveal even half a word? In the past, no matter how serious our quarrels were, he wouldn't be rough with me. But you saw it yourself, just now … in order to quickly get rid of me, he actually knocked me unconscious for six to eight hours with one palm strike? "
Xuan Shuang said, "Hmm, he probably knows that once he tells you, you'll be like a housekeeper who won't let him have a moment of peace. Or maybe he wants to go out and seek the Dao, thinking that there's no end to the path of martial arts, and that his own martial arts are weak, he's too ashamed to say it. Why must you expose his scars … "Nangong Xue said in a low voice," No matter what reason he has, he shouldn't hide it from me! "
Xuan Shuang said, "What's going on? Why must he report his whereabouts to you? You haven't even become his wife, yet you want to report his every move? You also want him to be by your side at all times, not allowing him the slightest bit of freedom? Hmm, did he marry a wife, or did he marry a moving and talking prison cell? "
Nangong Xue's face reddened even more, but she still tried her best to defend herself, "But Shixiong and I have always been together, he's never been this strange … and he's never hidden anything from me."
Xuan Shuang was so angry that he wanted to grab the teacup, pry open her mouth, and pour all the tea into her mouth. He said angrily, "Hey, woman, why are you so troublesome? You don't have enough control over your man, you want his every expression, every crying and laughing, even every sneeze, all under your control, right? Can't there be a first time for everything? I'm not him, I don't have the patience to be long-winded with you. Hurry up and drink the tea, if worst comes to worst, I'll accompany you to find him later. " He thought that after drinking the tea, she wouldn't remember Li Yijie's name, so he had nothing to fear.
Unexpectedly, Nangong Xue asked a new round of questions, "Hey, do you know my Shixiong's whereabouts? Do you know where to find him? "
Xuan Shuang said angrily, "Damn it! I'm not related to him, he's a living person with arms and legs, how would I know where he's going? Even if he's going to visit a brothel, it's none of my business! If you want to find him, you'll have to wait until you've recovered your strength. Think about it, you don't have a drop of water right now, how can you have strength? If you pass out halfway, I won't be able to drag you, so hurry up and drink the tea. "Thinking about how he had tried to persuade her to drink the tea, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. So Young Master Ling had fallen to the pitiful state of using up his silver tongue for a cup of tea?
Nangong Xue hurriedly said, "Don't be angry, okay, I'll drink, I'll drink." She looked at the rolling dark green tea leaves in the teacup, because her hands were shaking, the reflection in the water slightly swayed, she really couldn't drink it. But looking at Xuan Shuang's expression, in order for him to bring her to him as soon as possible, she could only compromise for now. She brought the teacup to her lips, gently bit the edge of the teacup with her teeth, and wanted to drink it in one gulp. Xuan Shuang's heart jumped at the same time, suspended in mid-air, and could clearly hear the sound of his heart beating wildly.
Nangong Xue picked up the teacup, her gaze inadvertently stopping in the room, her face turned snow-white, and she dazedly put down the teacup. Xuan Shuang said impatiently, "What's wrong with you again?"
Nangong Xue's arms were trembling. She picked up the beads that were scattered on the ground one by one. Tears welled up in her eyes. She said, "He … Does he have to cut all ties with me? This is the only gift he's given me in twenty years, and I've always treasured it. And he … actually wants to use such a cruel method to cut ties with me … Twenty years of waiting, twenty years of bitter love, what did I get in return? He … he's really too cruel. "
Xuan Shuang inwardly regretted his miscalculation. He had the leisure to linger here for so long, but he actually forgot to clean the room. He helplessly said, "That's right, you've finally realized that he's such a heartless, cold-blooded man. No matter how heartbroken you are for him, he won't know, and he won't care. For him … it's not worth it. Don't think about it anymore, drink some water first, and rest well. "
Nangong Xue looked at the shattered bracelet on the floor, and beads of tears rolled down her cheeks. He could still pick up the pearls, but he could no longer pick up the stalks of grass that were scattered all over the place. For a moment, her heart was broken, and she was unwilling to believe that her infatuated lover could be such a heartless person.
She wanted to find an excuse for him, but suddenly she glanced at the teacup in her hand, and it was as if she had grabbed onto a life-saving straw. She happily said, "That's right, that's right, before I fainted, I didn't have this cup of tea with me. Did Shixiong especially leave it for me? But if he doesn't even care if I live or die, why would he care if I'm thirsty? Shixiong, oh Shixiong, what are you thinking in your heart? Do you still love me or not? "
Xuan Shuang raised his eyebrows and said, "Any normal person who stays with you would be driven crazy by you. You're asking me, but who am I supposed to ask? " Nangong Xue was lost in her reverie, sometimes she would smile, sometimes she would frown deeply, sometimes she would cry, and sometimes she would laugh. Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she said, "That's right, I believe Shixiong must have his own difficulties, so I have to ask him. Since I said I love him, I should believe him and understand him, right? "
Xuan Shuang said, "That's right, that's right, no matter what your Shixiong does, he has his own 'reasons'. Therefore, leaving you this cup of tea was a wise decision he made after careful consideration. In order to not let his efforts go to waste, you should drink it before you set off. I've been trying my best to persuade you for so long that my mouth is dry. If you don't give me some face, just consider it as for your Shixiong's sake. Hurry up and drink it! "He thought that if he continued to persuade her, he would definitely be angered to the point of vomiting blood and dying on the spot.
Nangong Xue nodded, obviously thinking of Li Yijie as well. A sad, sweet, and gentle smile appeared on her face. She brought the cup to her mouth and was about to raise her head to drink when Xuan Shuang's heart tightened again. Right at this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open with a bang. A short, fat, and half-bald old man with a slightly hunched back and a walking stick in his hand hurriedly rushed in. As soon as he entered the room, he shouted, "Alliance Head? Alliance Head? Eh, you're not here? Madam, have you seen the Alliance Head? "
Nangong Xue jumped up in shock and threw the teacup on the table. She didn't have time to drink anymore and called out, "What's wrong, Elder Qian? You're also looking for the Alliance Head? I … I was worried that he would leave without saying goodbye … I heard that he's been gone for six, eight hours already. I'm really worried. "
The old man was the Beggar Clan's Elder Qian Yu. When he heard Nangong Xue's words, he laughed and said, "Madam, I'm afraid you've become muddle-headed from missing your husband. If the Alliance Head has been gone for six, eight hours, then who was the Alliance Head who was talking to us in the main hall about two hours ago? At that time, there were so many people watching. I don't think I saw a ghost. "
Nangong Xue was surprised, "Eh, the meeting was held two hours ago?" She immediately looked at Xuan Shuang, wanting to hear his explanation. Xuan Shuang was cursing in a low voice, "Damned winter melon, stinky hippopotamus, why didn't you come in earlier or later? Why did you have to roll the ball at this time? You dare to spoil this young master's business, see if I don't beat you to death! " When he heard Nangong Xue's question, he was slightly startled, but he casually replied, "Oh, probably because I was unconscious for a long time and got the time wrong. You're also a muddle-headed person, why would you ask me to be accurate? "
