Zhixuan returned to his residence in a daze. When he saw Ji Qingxi's subordinates outside the door, he stopped and asked the guard,""Ji Qingxi is here?"
"Young Master Helan, Young Master Ji Qingxi is here to discuss the Sword Technique Conference's departure tomorrow. He's waiting for you inside.”
Helan Zhixuan entered the door. When he walked to Begonia Garden, where he had just entertained himself, he stopped in his tracks and saw a scene that made him clench his fists. Ji Qingxi was flirting with his beloved concubine, Xie Man 'er, the red-robed dancer who had danced earlier. She could vaguely hear them talking and laughing.
"It's such a pity that such a natural beauty is with that unromantic young master," Ji Qingxi said with a smile.”
Xie Man 'er revealed her alluring charm and smiled.""Young Master Jialan doesn't know as much as Young Master Xue.”
Ji Qingxi looked at her watery eyes affectionately, smiled charmingly, and grabbed her arm, saying,""That is a person who is more beautiful than you. He charmed the lord so much that he was completely obedient to him.”
"Young Master Helan is indeed a peerless handsome man, and Young Master Xue is also a handsome young master," said Xie Man 'er.”
"I'm only mesmerized by your coquettish appearance," Ji Qingqing said.”
"Ji Qingxi, I didn't expect my Begonia Garden to be so charming that you would miss it so much.”Helan Zhixuan walked over. His smile was still so charming, and he didn't look the slightest bit strange.
Ji Qingxi hurriedly let go of Xie Maner's hand, and Xie Maner quickly retracted her hand.
He Lan Zhi Xuan continued to smile,"When the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will surpass the countless people in the world." How does it feel for you to perform this scene here?”
His calm appearance made Ji Qingxi feel even more terrified. Ji Qingxi hurriedly explained,""Helan Zhixuan, don't misunderstand. I'm here to discuss with you about setting off tomorrow.”
Helan Zhixuan nodded slightly." I know. I wasn't around just now. Weren't you discussing with my dancer?" You guys continue, I'm listening."
Xie Man 'er's face instantly turned pale, and her entire body trembled in fear. She knew Helan Zhixuan's personality very well. He was very possessive and would definitely not let her off this time.
Ji Qingqing revealed a friendly smile and said to Helan Zhixuan,""You and I have known each other since we were young. I believe that we will be able to successfully complete the mission together.”
" That might not be the case," Helan Zhixuan said." Your reputation as Young Master Ji Qingxi has made me respect you." Look, my Begonia Garden is also exceptionally charming because of you, Young Master Ji Qingxi. It's all my fault for ruining your mood.”
Ji Qingxi said," Helan, you're too serious. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning. We'll set off together. Be prepared."”After saying that, Ji Qingxi cast a worried glance at Xie Maner before leaving.
After Ji Qingqing left, Xie Maner immediately knelt on the ground and sobbed."Young Master Helan, Young Master Helan Zhixuan, please spare me this time!”
Helan Zhixuan smiled gently." You didn't do anything. Why would I blame you? Get up quickly."”
Xie Man 'er stood up, and Helan Zhixuan slapped her hard on the cheek. Xie Man' er screamed and fell to the ground, blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.
"Are you feeling that you're crying to return Jun Mingzhu to her?" Helan Zhixuan mocked coldly.”
" Young Master," Xie Man 'er said sadly," I have never thought of doing anything to let Young Master down. Xie Man' er only has Young Master in her heart. Just now, it was just…"
"Alright, stop quibbling!" How can I not know what kind of person you are! Didn't you seduce men like this in the brothel? After following me for two years, your skills haven't deteriorated at all.”Helan Zhixuan squatted down and grabbed Xie Maner's hair with one hand.
"I won't do it again, Young Master. Please forgive me this time." Xie Man 'er cried and begged.”
"Who do you think you are?" Let me tell you, you're just a toy in my hands. One moment, I can smile at you and give you everything you want. In the next second, I can pinch you to death at will. Do you understand? I gave you your life. You must be loyal to me. If you betray me, you will die. Do you understand?”
Xie Man 'er kept saying,"I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."”
"Speak!" He Lan Zhi Xuan roared. Where did he touch you? Wherever he touches you, I'll cut it off!”
Xie Man 'er was so frightened that she could not speak. Her tears kept flowing.
Helan Zhixuan pushed her to the ground and pulled out the sword in her hand. Xie Man 'er immediately hugged Helan Zhixuan's legs with both hands and begged,"Young Master, even if Man 'er was wrong, she doesn't deserve to die!”
Helan Zhixuan grabbed Xie Maner with one hand. Her clothes were torn.
Xie Man 'er cried,"A hundred years of separation in a tall building, a generation of beauty for the monarch." If Young Master is unwilling to forgive Xie Man 'er, please grant me a quick death.”After saying that, she let go of the arm that was hugging Helan Zhixuan's legs and closed her eyes to look up.
Helan Zhixuan hesitated for a moment, perhaps regretting it. He took back his sword and stroked her face with one hand."Remember, this is the first and last time!”
Helan Zhixuan pushed her to the ground and left with a wave of his sleeves. He knew that this was just a twisted mentality of his. He liked to give others the same kind of life that he had, so that he would not feel lonely. He clearly knew that he was in the wrong, and he clearly did not want to treat her so cruelly. However, inadvertently, he hurt others and himself.
Xie Man 'er didn't seem to have woken up. She was paralyzed on the ground.
The next day, just as the sun rose, Ji Qingxi rode a horse and brought dozens of guards to the door of Helan Zhixuan's residence.
"Where's Helan Zhixuan?" Ji Qingxi asked the guard.”
The guard replied,"Young Master Ji Qingxi, Young Master Helan is still sleeping soundly with his beloved concubine. Please wait a moment."”Needless to say, this beloved concubine was naturally referring to Xie Maner, which made Ji Qingxi unhappy.
Because he was in the wrong yesterday, he also knew that Helan Zhixuan was deliberately making things difficult for him, so he could only wait for Helan Zhixuan at the door. However, he was still very worried about Xie Man 'er's safety. However, in his opinion, face was more important than women. Although he had a tender heart, he would not plead for mercy on behalf of Xie Man' er to Helan Zhixuan.
Helan Zhixuan was dancing with her sword in Begonia Garden in high spirits. Her charming figure, light and unrestrained steps, incisive and wonderful sword techniques, coupled with the fluttering Begonia petals, painted a beautiful poetic scene. It was indeed a treasured sword that easily melted the soft petals.
After practicing the sword, the maid brought a teacup. Helan Zhixuan drank a mouthful of tea and asked the maid,"Where's Ji Qingxi? Are you still waiting at the door?"
"Yes," replied the maid.
Helan Zhixuan smiled and said unhurriedly,"Go and change your clothes first."
The door finally opened, and Helan Zhixuan slowly walked out. She was wearing a yellow and white dress, and she was in high spirits. Behind her was Xie Man 'er, whose face was still covered in tears.
Ji Qingxi and the others got off their horses. He looked at Helan Zhixuan and said,""You're up? It's almost noon!" After sizing up He Lan's meticulously dressed and elegant appearance, Ji Qingxi continued to mock coldly,""Do you think you're going to participate in a beauty pageant?”
"We represent the image of the Heavenly God Sect. Everyone wears such shabby clothes like you!"”
Ji Qingxi looked at her clothes and said,""My clothes are not bad! He was originally a heroic swordsman, and his charm was natural.”
Helan Zhixuan glanced at him and said,""My beloved Ji was serving me just now. I really don't want to go out.”
Ji Qingxi glanced at Xie Man 'er from the corner of her eye. Xie Man' er lowered her head and didn't say anything. Seeing that Xie Man 'er was fine and only had a scar on her left cheek, Ji Qingxi heaved a sigh of relief.
"Someone, bring my carriage here."”
Ji Qingxi, who had repeatedly tolerated Helan Zhixuan, finally couldn't take it anymore. He said,""You're still taking the carriage? Don't you know how to ride a horse?"
"No one told me I couldn't go out in a carriage. Besides, my beloved Ji doesn't know how to ride a horse."”
Ji Qingxi glanced at Xie Man 'er and smiled bitterly.""Other than bringing a few more clothes, you're not going to bring her along, are you?”
He Lan Zhixuan said," I'm afraid that if I'm not around for a moment, she will flirt with other men. I'm really worried, so it's better to bring her along."”
Ji Qingxi knew that he was taking revenge on her, so she didn't say anything more and only said coldly,""Up to you."
Helan Zhixuan and Xie Man 'er got on the open-air carriage that they had brought over. Ji Qingxi and the other guards also got on the horses one after another.
Ji Qingxi gave the order to set off, and everyone prepared to move forward.
"Wait!" Helan Zhixuan suddenly shouted.”He said to Xie Man 'er in a gentle tone,"Get out of the car."
Xie Man 'er was stunned for a few seconds before she smiled at Helan Zhixuan and said,""Yes."
Ji Qingxi could only turn around and watch Xie Maner get off the car with a forced smile despite feeling wronged.
After she got out of the carriage, she quietly watched his carriage gradually leave. The smile on her face disappeared and she cast a complicated gaze at him. He was the one who saved her from the sea of misery and promised to give her glory. He was also the one who trampled on her dignity and humiliated her. She knew that he never truly loved her, but she didn't know why he treated her like this. She couldn't even tell if he loved or hated her.
On the way, Ji Qingxi said to Helan Zhixuan,""There are still nine days before the sword competition. We will go to Mount Kunlun from Ba Shu. The Sword Technique Conference held in the Kunlun Sect was highly regarded by the martial arts masters. Young chivalrous men who wanted to become famous would usually seize the opportunity to become famous. I estimate that it will take us about seven days to reach Kun Lun. If I go, it should only take five days, but because of you, I have no choice but to extend the time.”
"You know me quite well. You know that I don't like to rush."”
"I really feel that taking care of you is more troublesome than taking care of my woman!" Ji Qingxi said helplessly.”
" Actually, I don't mind splitting up with you," Helan Zhixuan said." If you don't want to go with me, you can go first. We'll meet again at Mount Kunlun."”
"No, the lord has ordered us to act together," Ji Qingqing said.”Gu Shixuan had specially instructed Ji Qingxi to satisfy Helan Zhixuan's requests and protect him along the way.
Helan Zhixuan lost control of her emotions and said,"Don't mention the lord's orders!"
Ji Qingxi was a little surprised. Every time Gu Shixuan was mentioned, Helan Zhixuan didn't want to pay much attention to it, and sometimes she even lost control of her emotions. Although he didn't like Gu Shixuan, he felt that Helan Zhixuan was Gu Shixuan's favorite disciple. He shouldn't have such a strong reaction towards Gu Shixuan. Ji Qingxi softened her tone and said," What I mean is that this is our first time in the pugilistic world. There are many things that we don't understand. It's necessary for us to take care of each other."”If it wasn't for Gu Shixuan's instructions, Ji Qingxi wouldn't have given in to Helan Zhixuan because she was afraid of her lord.
"I'm going to rest, do whatever you want."”He lay on the carriage and pretended to be sleepy.
"Can you not be so precious?" Ji Qingxi said helplessly. We're all men, can't you be more magnanimous! I can't stand it!"
He Lan Zhi Xuan said casually,"Cut the crap!" I wasn't the one who chattered along the way. Whose mouth do you think is more feminine?”
Ji Qingxi was so angry that her face turned red and she snorted.
