His fingertips, which had long been hardened by the years, approached the ghost mask and trembled imperceptibly. Leng Cangming thought, could it be her? They had the same aura, the same shadow, and the same coldness and stubbornness. But why was it her? She was dead. In fact, she had been killed by him a long, long time ago.
The cold touch of the tentacles brought him back to his senses. He looked at the woman who was forced to raise her head, and the eyes under the mask were cold and determined.
Stop here, let's keep the suspense for now…Who is she…Leng Suwan…Spoiler alert, she's not! However, they weren't new. Since all the characters had appeared, it didn't seem like there would be any newcomers. But…she was very close. She was new and not new.
Rubbing the cold protruding mask, Leng Cangming's eyes glowed with a dim light. Just as he was about to open it, he was forced back by a cold saber that swept over. Looking at the man between him and the woman, Leng Cangming said unhappily,""Who exactly are you? Since they said they were here to take away the bones of their old friends, why were they still pestering them?”
The man lifted his robe and squatted down. He looked at the woman in white without turning his head. His voice was as indifferent as before."Manor Lord has such a bad memory. Without Manor Lord's permission, I wouldn't be able to take what I want even if I had great abilities. Since that was the case, why not take away what the manor lord wanted to keep? This was only fair. After all, the heavens had blessed the manor lord for so many years, it was time for him to open his eyes.”After saying that, he picked up the woman and turned to face Leng Cangming. Although the cold saber at his waist was sheathed, the killing intent was not completely restrained.
Leng Cangming stood with his hands behind his back, his navy blue robe fluttering in the wind. His voice was filled with interest, and his face still maintained the displeasure and coldness from before."It's not impossible for you to take this woman away, but since she has the guts to assassinate me, she should have the guts to leave her name.”
"Manor Lord is old. Have you forgotten that I also said that Manor Lord will leave behind a head if you don't give me a corpse? In terms of names, you don't deserve to know. My name and hers are not worthy to be spoken from your mouth. Farewell!" The man didn't even look at Leng Cangming when he spoke. He looked down at the person in his arms who was weak. His voice didn't fluctuate, but the disdain in it was self-evident. Without waiting for Leng Cangming to continue pestering him, he took a step forward and jumped onto the eaves where he had been standing when he first arrived.
Looking at the black and white clothes that had completely disappeared in the moonlight, Leng Cangming clenched his hands behind his back into fists. The veins on the back of his hands were bulging, but his face was still calm.
As he hugged the woman in his arms, the gentle fragrance unique to women did not appear on this woman. There was only the cold fragrance of tea lingering at the tip of his nose. The shadow beside him kept retreating. Without hesitation, he turned into a courtyard and carried her to the soft couch in the cabinet under the bright palace lights.
The dim candlelight slowly spread in the room, gradually illuminating the world. He walked around the carved mahogany screen and walked to the snow pear wooden desk. On the desk was a fine white jade inkstone, a piece of unstained Xuan paper, and a row of neatly hung brushes. He glanced at the wine cup on the side and unceremoniously picked up the white glazed celadon cup and poured a full cup.
"What are you doing?" An indifferent and clear voice sounded from behind the screen. Although it was mixed with weakness, it was strong.
The man walked back to the woman with the cup and saw that her hand that was covering her left shoulder was already dyed red with blood. Frowning slightly, he placed the cup on the sandalwood table at the side. His movements were swift but he was exceptionally careful as he tore the clothes on her left shoulder. The sound of cloth being torn apart and the explosion of a candle was particularly loud in this quiet inner room. The woman tried to struggle but was intimidated by his faint glance.
"You can endure it. Leng Cangming's power is pure Yang and strong. The overbearing power can pierce through a hundred-year-old tree. That chess piece must be dead in your flesh. You haven't even grunted after so long.”he said lightly. After glancing at her when she was struggling, he did not look at her again. He focused on wiping the blood on her shoulder. The jade-white shoulder seemed a little thin under the dim yellow light, and the scarlet blood added to the most primitive temptation. It was clearly a bloodthirsty and alluring man, but the man's eyes were still pitch-black. There was no sign of life.
"I am Su Su." She spoke tiredly, her white dress sliding down the soft couch to the ground. Her fair shoulders were exposed in the silent night. He leaned on her body, his posture almost lingering. The black and white had a supreme sense of fusion. His hair was intertwined with hers, and his gaze was emotionless. His slender hands slowly took off her fangs mask, revealing her fair and soft jaw, slightly pursed lips, and exquisite nose bridge and eyes.
" Su Su…Su Su…" He repeated the name and looked down at her, his lips as cold as hers.
Leng Suwan, or Su Su. She raised her eyes and looked straight into his dark eyes."You should also tell me who you are!”
He picked up the cup on the sandalwood table expressionlessly and sprayed it mercilessly on her wound before she could react. However, she only frowned slightly and did not make a sound. She did not even show the most basic anger.
"Gu Yizheng." He replied to her indifferently. As he spoke, he used one hand to clamp her chin while the other hand unceremoniously picked out the black chess piece embedded in her flesh with a spatula.
Su Su's forehead was covered in sweat, and her eyes were red. Her other hand was tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, and her fingernails were so hard that they almost dug into her flesh. His pupils dilated due to the pain, and his chest heaved violently.
"Bear with it. If I didn't clamp your jaw, you probably wouldn't have snorted even if you bit your tongue.”Gu Yizheng said tiredly. She took another sip of wine and sprayed the wine on Su Su's shoulder as she stared at her. She grabbed his long hair by her ear in pain and pulled it with all her might.
Gu Yizheng did not even frown and looked at Su Su with amusement.""You're really vengeful. I saved you like this, but you repaid my kindness with ingratitude. I was right. You really can't achieve anything.”
She stared at him until he let go of her chin. Su Su flipped over and pressed Gu Yizheng under her, her white dress covering him. Her face was still pale from the pain, and her shoulders were still dripping red. With trembling lips, Su Su's voice was no longer as calm as usual. Even her trembling voice was filled with pain,""You're that b * tch!"
Glancing at her loose black hair, his expression was still as cold as ice.""You're already so uneasy after cleaning your wound.”After saying that, he pressed on a few of her major acupoints and applied medicine to stop the bleeding. The room was silent.
His appearance was cold and determined, with a hint of indifference and power. Su Su looked at this man whom she had only met once and felt a little sorrowful. Su Rouying died and was buried with the song," East Wind." Su Ran had been poisoned twice in the past month. If there was no antidote, Su Ran would die. Leng Jiaxia had taught her everything she knew, but she still couldn't get close to Leng Cangming…She looked at the cell dejectedly, knowing that this was Qing Qiuxuan, and it was safe. However, as long as she was in Shadow Manor, under their control, she would never be safe. She closed her eyes and raised her uninjured hand to touch her forehead. Her face was filled with fatigue.
"If you want to leave, you can leave openly.”Gu Yizheng said lightly without looking up. Her hands did not stop at all as she put down the clothes that she had helped Su Su fold. He sat by the soft couch, facing the screen with the carvings of flowers competing for beauty.
She didn't look up, but put her hand on her lower abdomen lazily.""It's difficult for me to achieve great things, so I naturally don't know what it means to settle for the next best thing.”
"Su Rouying is a smart woman. Her daughter is naturally not inferior to her.”
Su Su finally opened her eyes and looked at his expressionless side profile. It was rare for her to tease someone so easily these days."You were the one who said that I was difficult to achieve great things. Now, you are also the one who said that I am not inferior to my mother. Why did you say all these good and bad things?”
Gu Yizheng ignored her teasing and said lightly,""I have no intention of interfering in your family matters, but since you want to leave this place, I can tell you on account of Su Rouying. This month, rumors had spread everywhere in the martial world. Everyone knew that Su Rouying had died. Coincidentally, the Flowing Sword Technique that had disappeared for a hundred years had suddenly appeared. Everyone wanted to take it for themselves. Presumably, the Shadow Mountain Manor was not willing to fall behind. This is an opportunity."
Su Su lowered her eyes, and her tone finally had the grumbling of a seventeen-year-old girl.""Why are there so many sword scriptures and saber manuals in this world? It made everyone want to fight. He really had nothing to do.”
Gu Yizheng saw that she was much more lively now and a fleeting smile flashed across her eyes."This sword technique is closely related to the Su family's treasure. There are rumors that it is the key to opening the door to the treasure. There were naturally many people who fought for it, but there were not many who could get it.”
Su family? Su Su's lowered eyes were filled with chaotic thoughts. Although she knew that Gu Yizheng was not simple, it was still difficult to tell if she was friend or foe. On second thought, she felt relieved that she had no friends. She only hoped that this man, whose abilities were vastly different from hers, was not an enemy.
Gu Yizheng's gaze was fixed on the window grilles behind Su Su's soft couch. She quietly stared at the scattered moonlight that smashed into the inner room in the middle of the night. When Su Su tilted her head, the moonlight poured down on her neck from above, giving off a soft and gentle silver light. Her black hair and snow-white dress complemented each other, making her look extraordinarily beautiful.
After a long silence, he said lightly," Although that Pei Siyuan schemed against you, how could you not have schemed against him? If they wanted to leave this place, they would have to use his name.”
Su Su looked up at him, her usually calm eyes reflecting the flickering candlelight. She had schemed against Pei Siyuan, but that was when she was conceited enough to think that she could exchange five lives for freedom. At that time, she thought that she had come from a thousand years in the future and was strong enough to deal with Pei Siyuan, but she did not expect him to plot against her first and use her arrogance to plot against her.
Su Su did not remember when that person left. She fainted from the pain that night. Although he had experienced a lot of bullets in the modern world, this was the first time he had been directly cut without any anesthetic. She was already very patient, even when the strong alcohol sprayed on her shoulders later, the pain of tearing her flesh was pulling at every nerve of her, until she could not take it anymore and fell asleep.
