i want to be by your side

Yeyin didn't speak, she just looked at Xiao Qinglan quietly.And I was looking at her looking at Xiao Qinglan.The atmosphere suddenly became silent, even Yuan Jian opened his eyes without knowing why, and looked at her patiently.

"I won't find someone to deal with her again." Xiao Qinglan said suddenly, "I won't deal with her again either."

"Who is she?" I insisted.

"..." Xiao Qinglan raised her head, met Yeyin's eyes, her throat moved, and she looked very difficult.

The carriage was still advancing steadily, and the rhythmic sound of horseshoes came through the carriage, reminding the people in the carriage that time was constantly passing.

"... Yin'er's mother... I won't do anything to her anymore." Xiao Qinglan took a few deep breaths and finally said.She grabbed Yin'er's sleeve tightly, looked into Yeyin's eyes and said, "Yin'er, I assure you, as long as they are your closest relatives, no matter if they are human or demon, I will not hurt them... "

"Qing Lan..." Ye Yin looked at her in astonishment.None of the three present could not feel her struggling and painful heart, as well as the determination in her eyes.

Yuan Jian was very calm, as if he had expected such a result a long time ago, but he was a little surprised at the moment he heard it, maybe he didn't expect this result to come so quickly and so suddenly!

Compared with her calmness, I was very surprised, and there was a huge wave in my heart.I still remember that after the old Taoist priest in her family died a few days ago, Xiao Qinglan looked fierce and desperate for me, and before leaving, she left the vow of "I will kill all the demons in the world", why did she change her attitude after a few days? up?

"Qing Lan is actually not as pedantic as you think. Her heart has been shaken all the time, but she is too tightly bound by the past and the ideas instilled by her relatives." Yuan Jian said.

So this is just a sign of rebellion, but it was quickly suppressed by the court?I thought in a daze, and couldn't help but feel funny when I came back to my senses—what the hell is rebellion?

"I believe you." Finally, Yeyin said.

Xiao Qinglan immediately looked as if she was so moved that she was about to cry.I suddenly remembered that when I said that the old Taoist was not killed by me, Yuan Jian also said to believe me. My mood at that time should be similar to Xiao Qinglan's now.

Don't care what other people think, as long as the person you care about most believes in you, that's enough.

"Jinrui..." I suddenly wanted to shout out her words, but I couldn't say a word because I had thousands of words in my heart.

Yuan Jian looked at me tenderly, asking what was wrong with my eyes.I shook my head, suppressed thousands of thoughts, and brought up another topic.

"About your family...that old Taoist priest..." I originally wanted to say "the old Taoist priest who died in your family a few days ago", but I immediately remembered what Bai Yanmo told me, don't speak so directly, but be euphemistic , I immediately paused for a few seconds, and after swallowing the words in the middle, the words I spoke became as above.

"Although his death was sudden, I still want to say that I didn't kill him."

Xiao Qinglan didn't expect that I would suddenly bring up such a matter, she was stunned for a moment, her eyes were still red, and there was still a tear in the corner of her eyes, she just raised her head and looked at me blankly.

"Uh, wipe the tears first?" I motioned to Yeyin, and Yeyin reluctantly took out a handkerchief to help her wipe the tears off her face.

Xiao Qinglan reacted quickly, with a look of embarrassment, wiped her face with her sleeve indiscriminately, and finally wiped away her tears.

She stabilized her mind and whispered: "I know."

"I'm sorry that I vented all my emotions on you that day. Uncle is my last relative in this world. He died so suddenly, and because you said you wanted to kill him before, that's why I..."

"Anyway, it's good to clear up the misunderstanding." I said, "I'm the one who should apologize to you. I said so many outrageous things, saying that you want to save face and sacrifice your life. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that at that time. You. Hope you didn't hit the..."

As soon as I finished speaking, I felt someone pinch my palm, and I looked at Yuan Jian suspiciously—did I say something wrong again?

"..." Xiao Qinglan was silent for a while, then abruptly changed the subject, "Uncle's death was man-made, I only found out about it after the fact, it has nothing to do with the demon."

"People killed it?" I asked, "Would it be someone from your Demon Elimination League?"

Xiao Qinglan didn't speak, but her expression told me that I was right.

"There should be some special reason." Yuan Jian said suddenly, "It's impossible to prevent Qinglan from completing the trial."

"I don't know, I'm still investigating." After Xiao Qinglan finished speaking, the atmosphere in the carriage fell silent.

I'm still thinking about the trial that Yuan Jian said. That night Yuan Jian told me that Xiao Qinglan's last trial was to get the turtle shell for divination from the magic fortune teller, but because he couldn't find the magic fortune teller, he finally turned to me for help. .But because of Ye Yin's incident between me and her, the conversation ended in nothing.

"When will that trial end?" I asked.

"There are still two months." Xiao Qinglan said.Since she made up her mind to let go of her grievances with the demon next to Yeyin, she now responds to me very smoothly, no longer like before, she is not even willing to give me a look.

"Any clues now?"

"Not yet."

I frowned and recalled it again, but I still couldn't figure out what kind of monster this fortune teller was. "Are you sure what you are looking for is a magic fortune teller, not a magic fortune teller? I have never heard of a magic fortune teller in the demon world."

"Maybe in people's eyes it's called a fortune teller, but in the demon it's called something else?" Ye Yin said. "Aunt Qing, do you think there is anyone among these monsters who is good at divination with turtle shells?"

Without even thinking about it, I said, "Except for your old-fashioned method of divination using turtle shells, what other monsters can use it? But the turtle old thief is good at formation spells, and fortune-telling can only be said to be used. It’s just a side job to make money.”

Seeing that Yuan Jian and Xiao Qinglan still looked puzzled, Ye Yin explained in a timely manner: "Last time, Aunt Qing took me to Grandpa Gui's for a fortune-telling and bought a talisman, which cost 3000 taels."

"3000 taels? Why didn't he grab it?" Xiao Qinglan immediately became excited after hearing this, "The best time for the Xiao family now is only to earn 6000 taels a year."

Yuan Jian also frowned, feeling that the price was unreasonable. "After the divination, what did you do with that tortoise shell?" she asked.

Ye Yin and I looked at each other.Finally, I replied with difficulty: "We ground it into powder and made tea and drank it."

Yuan Jian: "..."

Xiao Qinglan: "..."
