The green tea heroine and the villain who practices ruthlessness
Chapter 98: Friendship is Hard to Complete(2)
Xue Ning heard that Jiang Wan had been captured and recalled Little Spider. He was about to break into the Tianmu Palace alone, but suddenly he remembered Ping Xiu's hesitant expression when he went down the mountain that day.
She was so smart, could she have guessed something at that time?
Xue Ning stopped moving forward, feeling cold in his heart.
His intuition told him that even if he broke into the Tianmu Palace at this moment, he would not be able to save Jiang Wan, but would instead make Shen Jue be on guard against him.
His mind was in a mess and he was hesitating, but the fight in the palace had quietly ended.
Jiang Wan and True Lord Wuxie were surrounded by a dozen elders and escorted out of the Tianmu Palace.
In the chaos of figures, Jiang Wan suddenly looked back and looked at Xue Ning beside the palace door.
Xue Ning looked at her from afar. She kept looking at him, and she didn't look away until Shen Jue came to her side.
Xue Ning read the comfort and help hidden in her eyes.
He was so shocked that he almost wanted to rush forward immediately, fight off the elders, and rescue the master's wife.
However, his feet were firmly rooted in place like tree roots, and an invisible fear enveloped him.
The sound of footsteps came back again and again. Yu Anxing walked up to him at some point and sighed: "What happened today really happened too suddenly. I know how you feel. But the matter is very important. The competition is big right now." The opening ceremony is about to begin, and every year among the ten major competitions, demons from the Blood Moon Sect are waiting for the opportunity to cause trouble. Everything in the Tianmu Palace must not be leaked."
Xue Ning looked at Yu Anxing, but felt that his former amiable and respectable uncle looked so strange.
"Han Chao?"
Xue Ning lowered his eyelashes and said calmly: "I understand. I will pass on the order and order the sword guards under my command to keep silent and not to leak a word to anyone."
Yu Anxing patted his shoulder with satisfaction, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, your junior wife just went astray for a moment. A husband and wife are kind to each other for a hundred days. No matter what Junior Brother Shen does, he can't really do anything to his wife." .”
Xue Ning didn't know how to respond, so she excused herself to restrain her subordinates and turned around to leave.
Yu Anxing watched Xue Ning go down to Tianmu Peak. Several elders from Xiuwen Academy gathered around him and asked in a low voice: "What Mrs. Qinghe just said, is it true or false?"
Yu Anxing laughed it off and didn't tell the truth or falsehood. He just asked a few old men to speculate blindly.
After Xue Ning came down the mountain, he was confused. When he heard someone calling his name, he realized that he had walked to the place where Qin Huaichu was recovering from his injuries.
Pingxiu set up an alchemy furnace on the front porch and was refining elixirs when he saw Xue Ning walking along the bamboo path in despair, leaving the cattail leaf fan and running down the stone stairs.
"What happened? Why are you looking so pale?"
Xue Ning's lips moved, and after a long while, she uttered a few words with difficulty: "Master has locked up his wife."
"why?"
Xue Ning explained everything that happened on Tianmu Peak one by one. The more Ping Xiu listened, the more frightened he became.
"Master Wife begged me to save her."
"Don't be impulsive," Pingxiu said thoughtfully, "Your master has already had a rift with your wife because of Qi Bushu. Now that Qi Bushu's body has fallen into his hands, there's no guarantee he will do anything."
"Your master and your master's wife are one and the same, and they may not harm his wife. Your master's wife wants you to save her, but I'm afraid you are more worried about Qi Bushu's body."
Xue Ning hesitated: "Do I have to find a way to steal Senior Qi's body first?"
"Let me think."
Before Pingxiu could think of a good plan, she suddenly heard a sarcastic voice: "Doctor Ping is so arrogant. He throws the patient aside and only focuses on talking about love? Is this your attitude towards patients?"
Qin Huaichu turned his spiritual power into the wind in his palm and slid out of the house with his wheelchair. Mrs. Zhuiya couldn't stop him, so she had to smile awkwardly at Pingxiu.
"Miss Pingxiu, don't be angry, I will push Huaichu back."
The spiritual power turned into the breeze, holding the wheelchair up and flying down the stone path.
Qin Huaichu looked at the two of them and sneered: "I heard that Mrs. Jinse is your aunt?"
Pingxiu stood sideways in front of Xue Ning, her gestures full of protection.
Xue Ning said: "So what? She is a demon from the Demon Cult, and I am a disciple of Tianyuan Dao Sect. Apart from blood, there is no other relationship between me and her."
"Ha," Qin Huaichu's face twisted, "I was put in such a situation by that old woman, and you say it has nothing to do with you? Who are you looking for? It's not good to cooperate inside and outside, but you have found such a treacherous person who can't even suppress the inner demon. What a bitch to live in!"
"Qin Huaichu, are you crazy enough?!"
Pingxiu couldn't bear it anymore and said to Zhuiya who was chasing after him in a hurry: "Madam, I helped him remove the spider eggs and connect the tendons. I have done my utmost to be kind and righteous. Your nephew is like a mad dog biting people everywhere. Please forgive me. Incompetent, this kind of patient cannot be cured by this younger generation, so please ask Madam to hire another expert!"
Qin Huaichu's face was ashen and he stared at the girl fiercely.
Mrs. Zhuiya had a sad face and said with tears in her eyes: "Miss Pingxiu, it's not that I claim to be an elder and insist on using my seniority to suppress you and force others to do something difficult, but... alas, besides you, Huaichu refuses to accept anyone else. Medical repairman, even the medicine boys at the medical repair center refuse to drink the medicine, he has to go through your hands."
Mrs. Zhuiya spoke with tears streaming down her face: "I'm sorry for Huaichu, and I really don't know what to do. Only then will I invite you back, Miss Pingxiu."
Pingxiu said with a tired heart: "I have forgiven you many times for my wife's difficulties. I really cannot take care of a patient like your nephew. I have other important matters. Please forgive me for being rude and leave first."
Pingxiu pulled Xue Ning away.
Qin Huaichu sat in a wheelchair, sneered sinisterly, and murmured: "I won't let you go, one or two, you all don't want to have a good ending!"
Mrs. Zhuiya slipped and fell at her nephew's feet, gently beat his unconscious legs with her fists, and cried: "Huaichu, why are you doing this? What on earth do you want my aunt to do to atone for your sins, and then you are willing to forgive my aunt?" ?”
Qin Huaichu's voice was soft and cold: "Aunt, the moment you and your cousin left me, I was already dead. I will never forgive you in this life."
Pingxiu accompanied Xue Ning back to Tianmu Peak, and captured a sword guard to ask about the clan master's whereabouts. The sword guard replied that the clan master had returned to the main peak.
The two then avoided the main peak and sneaked to the top of the peak quietly.
Xue Ning discovered that Shen Jue had set up a barrier outside the main hall. Whenever someone broke in, Shen Jue would immediately find out.
Seeing this, Xue Ning's heart sank even more.
in the main hall.
Shen Jue walked hurriedly through several palace doors and arrived at his daily practice place. He pushed the door open and stepped on the green bricks that opened the secret room. The bluestone floor slowly parted to both sides, revealing a deep cave.
Shen Jue walked down the stone steps until he reached the ground, where the sound of water gradually sounded.
The underground was originally a water prison. In the knee-deep water, two leeches as thick as pythons crouched, intertwined like twin flowers.
The oil lamps on both sides of the water cell suddenly lit up, and the dim candlelight fell on the leech. The blood-colored skin was slightly transparent, as if one could see the blood flowing inside.
Shen Jue sat down by the pool, sighed, stretched his arms forward, and exposed his wrists.
Two leeches swam over, leaned down, opened their three jaws, one on the left and the other on the right, and pierced the skin of the man's wrist.
The leech on the right was seen sucking blood from Shen Jue's body, while the leech on the left was injecting the blood in his body into his body.
The tails of these two leeches were actually born together, and their blood was connected. The leech on the right distributed the blood sucked from Shen Jue to the left, forming a perfect cycle.
Shen Jue's eyebrows were furrowed, he was sweating, and the veins on his forehead popped out, as if he was in great pain.
After enduring this for more than half an hour, Shen Jue finally finished changing his blood.
He waved his hand, and the two leeches bowed back into the water.
His face was extremely pale, and the blood transfusion consumed too much of his energy.
For so many years, in order not to let anyone see that he was a descendant of the Tianshi clan, he had been relying on blood exchange to conceal his identity. In his early years, when he just took over as the head of the sect, he was walking on thin ice every day. He was afraid that the elders would see his flaws, and he was also afraid that his wife, who shared the same bed with him day and night, would find out.
When he was young, he would come to the secret room for blood replacement every few days.
Over the years, as he gained control and the situation within the sect gradually stabilized, he gradually relaxed and stopped exchanging blood so frequently.
This time, if he hadn't deliberately guarded Jiang Wan, drained all his spiritual blood in advance and replaced it with the blood of these blood leeches, Jiang Wan would have revealed his identity long ago.
Shen Jue sat by the pool, with his fist on his forehead and a sad smile on his lips.
They had been married for more than [-] years, and she really didn't miss the old relationship at all when she stabbed him.
Their relationship as husband and wife was like a joke compared to her old love who was always convinced.
Shen Jue has no father or mother, and Jiang Wan is the closest person to him in his life. He loves her so much and trusts her so much, but she failed him in the end.
The reason why he wanted to kill Qi Bushu back then was because Qi Bushu found out that he was from the Tianshi clan.
Although Qi Bushu has always said that your senior brother will keep your secrets and will never let anyone hurt you, he doesn't believe it.
He never trusted anyone. Even Jiang Wan only gained his unsuspecting trust after the two got married and had children together for so many years.
He only believed that only the dead could keep their mouths shut.
Since Qi Bushu was destined to die, it would be better to die a more valuable death and use his death to pave the way for him to ascend to a high position.
Shen Jue's plan was successful, Qi Bushu died, and he gained the favor of the sect master. In the end, he got what he wanted. Not only did he get the beauty back, but he also became the sect leader's successor.
To this day, he still has no regrets about planning to kill Qi Buhu.
just...
Shen Jue sighed softly when he thought of this.
Wanmei is determined. After today, I'm afraid he will never be able to win her back.
But what does it matter? He has a hundred ways to keep her by his side.
When the blood in his body gradually warmed up and his limbs regained their mobility, he stood up and walked out of the dark and damp secret room.
As soon as he returned to the ground, Shen Jue immediately noticed that someone had climbed up to the main peak.
He rushed out of the quiet room and turned into an afterimage and flew out of the palace gate, but there was no one on the main peak. Even the boy sweeping the floor and the maidservant were driven down the mountain in advance by him.
Who is coming?
Is it his senior brother Yu who has ulterior motives and is as cunning as a fox?
Or is it Wanmei's good apprentice who treats her like her own son?
Shen Jue's eyes flashed slightly, and he wanted to see Jiang Wan in the prison of Tianmu Peak. Then he went down to the main peak, but was entangled by the master of Zhenwu Temple and the abbot of Xumi Temple, and was unable to escape for a while.
Xue Ning and Heping Xiu waited for Shen Jue to leave, then quietly returned to the top of the mountain from the cliff. They searched the main hall inside and outside, but did not find Qi Bushu's body. They guessed that Shen Jue would probably take Qi Bushu's body. Take it with you, only to leave disappointed.
Since Qi Bushu couldn't be saved, he had to find a way to rescue Jiang Wan first.
Xue Ning and Heping Xiu soldiers divided into two groups.
Xue Ning went to Tianmu Peak to rescue Jiang Wan, while Pingxiu watched the wind at the bottom of the mountain to respond.
When parting, Xue Ning still felt uneasy, so she put a spider silk bracelet on Pingxiu's wrist and said, "If there is an emergency, just cut off the bracelet and I will come back to you immediately."
Pingxiu nodded and said: "I know, go ahead and be careful."
Xue Ning knew the topography of Tianmu Peak very well. Due to his temporary position at Xiuwen Academy, there was nothing he didn't know about in the cells of Tianyuan Dao Sect.
He quickly found Jiang Wan, secretly opened the cell door, and said, "Master Wife, I'm here to rescue you. Come with me quickly!"
Jiang Wan stood up immediately. At this time, there was a sudden noise outside the dungeon. Someone shouted: "Come on, someone is breaking into the Tianmu Peak dungeon!"
Xue Ning was just about to ask Jiang Wan to return to the cell first. He hid his figure and pretended that no one was intruding to avoid the guards' eyes and ears. Suddenly, he felt something in his heart - Ping Xiu's spider silk hand rope was broken!
