Konoha Aogen

Ye Xuan returned to "Qingyuan" sadly. It was already dimming, and Mu Qing'er was sitting on the soft couch next to the bed in a daze. She didn't know if she had gotten up early or if she hadn't slept at all. She didn't speak, just looked at Ye Xuan with searching eyes.

"Lin Jue will go back in the next couple of days." Ye Xuan sat on the couch and said a little tiredly.

Mu Qing'er leaned against Ye Xuan and gently kneaded the back of his neck with her left hand: "Aren't you going to kill him?"

"I asked him to talk about what happened back then again. Except for some parts of love that were too dreamy, the rest was not much different from what was in the 'diary'. I felt that he was completely stuck in those memories. As for what we were worried about, it was probably You have never thought about it. You are a 'locust plague', and your master giving birth to a child at random is also a 'locust plague'. Lin Jue seems to be completely unaware of the abnormality. In other words, he doesn't care at all, and I'm too lazy to think about this." Ye Xuan comforted Mu Qing'er, more to comfort himself.

"What if you think of it later?" Mu Qing'er asked.

"I used some other reasons to scare him. He has promised not to talk about what happened back then." Ye Xuan was extremely depressed. "Moreover, there are countless rumors about our past. Even if he told it, who would believe a person who eats 'Dream Mushroom'?"

"Yes." Mu Qing'er nodded and said no more.

"Sigh...I am also deceiving myself. 'The truth is hidden in rumors' is not as safe as 'no truth'. But for Lin Jue, I really, really can't make a move. You know, if I could choose, I really I hope this person is my father, not some fucking liar who writes poetry for free, or a gangster who dies at your feet." At this point, Ye Xuan seemed a little excited, so much so that he didn't notice after kneading him The left hand on the neck suddenly became stiff.

"Previously, Lin Jue was just a person in the 'diary', but I am extremely grateful for everything he has done. If I hadn't met him back then, it's hard for me to imagine that you could have a better situation. In When you refused, he did not bully you; when you knew nothing, he did not deceive you.

On the contrary, he gave you a "decent life" and "comprehensive protection", as well as the most rare restraint and respect that a strong man has when facing a weak one. From the beginning to the end, it was you who plotted against him and used him. After using him, you abandoned him when he was at his saddest and most helpless.

Even if I had ten thousand reasons to kill him for the sake of self-protection, or for the sake of my fantasy, I just couldn't do it. Nothing in this world is foolproof. This time, just once, I'll just...be a human being. "Ye Xuan struggled hard and convinced himself. What Lin Jue knew was really too dangerous.

So far, among all the rumors collected by "Mowen Tower", no one has doubted Mu Qing'er's identity as a "Western Region native". After Ye Xuan's "Locust Realm" was exposed, the rumors split into two branches:

It is said that Mu and Ye are twin siblings from the same mother. The difference in eyes and color is due to the fact that one of his parents is from the Central Plains and the other is from the Western Regions. Such rumors were obviously misled by the "Wu twins";

Another theory is that Mu and Ye, like "Xu Fei and Shangguan Jing", first came to the "Locust Realm" and then got acquainted. As for why Mu Qing'er called Ye Xuan his young master, and why Ye Xuan called Mu Qing'er his senior sister, there are even more divergent opinions, and there are all kinds of weird theories.

"Well. You haven't slept all night, so rest up." Mu Qing'er said, reaching out to untie the belt of Ye Xuan's black night clothes.

When Ye Xuan got into the quilt naked and was locked tightly by Mu Qing'er from behind, he suddenly thought of something and reluctantly broke away from her embrace. "I'll go find Xiaoying. You can go to bed first."

…………

The morning light was dim, and the sleeping shadow was awakened by a rapid ringing of the rope bell. Wearing a pair of skimpy clothes that barely covered her body, she stepped on her slippers and opened the door impatiently.

"What happened so early?" Afterimage unconsciously used the tone of questioning his subordinates. Guessing that Ye Xuan had something important to discuss, he still did not show the solemnity he should have as a subordinate. He shrank lazily and got back into the warm quilt. He just didn't lie down, his back gently leaned against the head of the bed.

Ye Xuan did not sit down on the edge of the bed. He stood by the bed, looking down at the afterimage, using this kind of

The eye gap that made both parties uncomfortable declared their dissatisfaction and the seriousness of the matter.

"I know that your spies are all over the city, especially in the 'Inner City', and even more near the 'City Lord's Mansion' and the 'Night Palace'. What I don't know is that the one who harassed me in the 'Qianjin Pavilion' yesterday, and later entered Did the old man who entered the 'City Lord's Mansion' arouse your attention and curiosity? To be cautious, I will assume that you have noticed it."

"Well, so what?" Afterimage looked up at Ye Xuan, noncommittal.

"So I order you, if you want, you can think of it as begging. In short, don't investigate the old man who went to the 'City Lord's Mansion' yesterday, and don't let anyone think that he might be important. Otherwise, you will kill Qing'er and me. .”

Hearing what Ye Xuan said, Afterimage finally became alert: "Who in this world can harm you and Sister Qing'er?"

"As long as you live well, don't take risks, don't seek death, I will definitely let you know the whole truth." Ye Xuan said seriously.

"Then...if I obey, is there any reward? For example, can I know something in advance?" His smart eyes glowed with a ghostly light.

"Are you threatening me? What will happen to you if I don't agree?" Ye Xuan said angrily.

Afterimage's well-behaved and pleading face immediately turned into grievance: "You have said it is so serious, what can I do? Young Master, you are so cautious, it is really unnecessary. Even if I notice him, I will only treat him as a person. He's just someone looking to do business with you.

Now that you have told me this, and you don’t call me Cha, isn’t this torturing me alive? At this moment, my heart feels more itchy than the soles of my feet being licked by that goat, but you tell me that as long as I live well, one day those two goats will stop. Isn't this cruel? "

Ye Xuan felt a little regretful when he expressed his pitiful pain to her. He sat on the edge of the bed, caressed her exposed arms and comforted her: "You don't feel any difference, so I don't worry about others noticing. Okay. , to make up for it, let me tell you something in advance..."

…………

At noon, on the fourth floor of the "Mowen Tower", the rope bell in the leader's study rang softly. The afterimage looked at Mu Qing'er in astonishment, dressed in white and holding a black sword.

"Sister Qing'er, why are you here?" In the memory of the afterimage, Mu Qing'er has never been to the "Mowen Tower". At least not after she became the group leader.

After entering the room, Afterimage wanted to lure Mu Qing'er to sit down in his chair, but Mu Qing'er only walked to the desk, stood still, and placed the heavy black sword lightly on the long table: "Xiaoying, I I want you to... do something."

"Well, what's going on?" Mu Qing'er refused to sit down, and the afterimage had to stand. She began to feel nervous very acutely. Is there anything that needs Sister Qing'er to say in person?

"Yesterday at noon, a man with gray hair visited the 'City Lord's Mansion'. Do you know?" Mu Qing'er asked, but there was nothing unusual in his voice.

"I know." Remnant responded obediently.

"Kill him on the way home, quietly." His tone was as indifferent as usual.

"Sister Qing'er, is this... the young master's intention, or..."

"Don't let the young master know." Mu Qing'er ordered.

Afterimage never dreamed that Sister Qing'er, who obeyed the young master like a puppet, would actually do such a thing: "No, this can't do it. I...I can't carry the young master on his back..." Afterimage said, feeling uncomfortable at the same time. Live back.

"He is alive, and the young master is in danger." Mu Qing'er's voice gradually turned cold.

"Then why didn't the young master kill him?" Afterimage asked anxiously, but did not dare to look into Mu Qing'er's eyes.

"You are kind, but you can't bear it."

Mu Qing'er answered simply. With no preparation and no clues, Afterimage could only sort out his thoughts with great difficulty: "If the young master doesn't move, he must have his own plans. I can't!"

If one day, Sister Qing'er and the young master give opposite orders, who should they listen to? If one day, Sister Qing'er and the young master are separated, or even separated, who should they follow? Afterimage realized that he had never thought about this problem. What Ye Xuan meant was what Mu Qing'er meant. This was an iron rule that she had long believed in. This was the most basic common sense of the "Konoha Family". How...why was it suddenly different today?

Mu Qing'er bent her knees and knelt down in the afterimage.

(This chapter is not over, please turn the page)

In front of me, there was no hesitation: "Please."

"Sister Qing'er, what are you doing?" Kankan took a few steps back and hurriedly ran forward to help her. Unable to help her up, he had no choice but to kneel down: "Why, why do you have to force me!" Afterimage almost cried.

"Because you can do it." Mu Qing'er cruelly told an irrefutable fact. For the first time in his life, Afterimage hated his own talent and envied Xiao Mo's mediocrity.

"What will you do if I refuse?" Afterimage raised his head tremblingly, mustering up all his courage to look directly into Mu Qing'er's eyes.

"Please." Mu Qing'er leaned down and knelt down to the afterimage. There is still no obvious emotion in the tone of voice.

"Don't... that's enough!" Afterimage grabbed Mu Qing'er's shoulders and stopped her desperately: "If I don't obey, you will find Han Xing, Guyan, or even stab him yourself. Right?"

Mu Qing'er was silent, she didn't know if that was possible. All she knew was that only Afterimage could do this quietly, without leaving any trace.

"Say yes! Say yes!" Afterimage tried his best to suppress his voice and roared angrily, hoarsely and hoarsely: "You are not willing to give me even a reason why you have to do it?"

"That's right." Mu Qing'er didn't understand the significance of this, but if it could get Afterimage to agree, she didn't mind.

"Okay... I'll do it for you." Afterimage sat helplessly on the ground, heart-wrenching fear and guilt, cruelly attacking her.

"Thank you." Mu Qing'er's pale gray eyes stared at the afterimage, showing gratitude that she could understand, and then slowly stood up.

The afterimage was still lying on the ground, her pupils seemed to have no focus, and she said absently: "Sister Qing'er, you shouldn't have come to the 'Mowen Tower'." She was glad that Ye Xuan relied too much on her and relied on him. As the head of the "Konoha Family", he did not cultivate his own eyeliner. If Mu Qing'er didn't retaliate against Mu Qing'er's abnormal behavior like visiting "Mowen Pagoda", he wouldn't know about it.

"Yeah. I won't do it next time." Mu Qing'er was not good at planning after all. Only then did I realize that I had made a mistake in the first step.

The afterimage stood up from the ground with a bang: "There's no next time! Sister Qing'er, please, there won't be another time..." After finishing the second half of the sentence, he covered his mouth and nose with his right hand and burst into tears. .

Mu Qing'er took a few steps and gently stretched out her arms to take the residual image into her arms. The afterimage's red and swollen eyes widened in surprise, and after a moment, it hugged Mu Qing'er tightly and cried loudly.

The embrace that she had been unable to bully or enter for so many years was finally opened to her today. Before this, she never expected that once she gained Mu Qing'er's favor, it was because she betrayed Ye Xuan.

She greedily enjoyed the tenderness she "can't even calculate at what cost". Her hands wrapped around Mu Qing'er's waist tighter and tighter, her head and face rested on the side of her neck, and she almost wanted to bury her mouth and nose in it. In the skin of her shoulders and neck.

Gradually, Gradually, Afterimage felt some difficulty in breathing. He tried to move his mouth and nose away from the side of his neck, but the hunger and thirst in his lungs did not ease at all. Only then did she realize that Mu Qing'er's slender arms wrapped around her were tightening little by little like an anaconda. "Sister Qing'er...I feel uncomfortable."

The ruthless anaconda could not understand the pleading of the little beast. The ribs of the afterimage began to ache, and the chest gradually felt a stronger oppression than suffocation. Blood accumulated in the upper body, and the neck and cheeks became crimson, bright red, and then crimson.

Afterimage's loyalty and obedience were finally crushed by the instinct of survival. The five fingers of his right hand pierced Mu Qing'er's waist like iron hooks, but it was like stabbing a piece of "soft and dense armor". The skin is only slightly sunken, making it difficult for fingers to penetrate even an inch. "Forgive...".

"Don't check him, I will kill you." A voice as cold as spring water poured into his mind close to Afterimage's left ear.

The life-threatening embrace dissipated like smoke, and the body of the afterimage fell to the ground like a piece of clothing that had just been peeled off. She lay on the ground panting wildly. A trace of saliva invaded the lungs along with the "too violent plunder" of air, and she began to cough violently again.

When he raised his eyes again, he felt that the long figure in plain clothes and an ink sword, walking towards the door like a fairy, seemed to be exuding the coldness and terror from the dark abyss.
