Qiu Shaochan only said a few words, but Yun Zhaoling knew that Qiu Shaochan must have suffered a lot because of this matter. Even though she was not Ming Nianxin, she strangely felt the guilt that should have come from Ming Nianxin. Fu Moran glanced at Yun Zhaoling, who seemed to be in a daze, and asked Qiu Shaochan,""What conditions did he set with you?"
Qiu Shaochan stretched out a finger and said hesitantly,""A hundred years of freedom." "That's it?" Liu Yanxing asked. "Do you know how important a hundred years of freedom is to me?" Qiu Shaochan immediately retorted. If you want to imprison me for a hundred years, you might as well kill me!”"And then?" Fu Moran asked.
"He was worried that I wouldn't make a promise, so I wrote a letter of agreement and left a personal item for him. Later on, when I returned to Tianhui City, I realized that the Soul Returning Pearl was useless. I was about to settle the score with him when my parents found out about it. I don't know much about what happened after that, but my parents took back the written agreement I made. Because of this, I was imprisoned for three months.”
Qiu Shaochan sighed and said," Although the Soul Returning Pearl is useless, it's not stated in the contract that if it's useless, it'll be invalid. So, in the end, I broke my promise." Moreover, not long after my parents asked him for the receipt, I heard that he was seriously injured.”
"Also, the people around him sent me a threatening letter, saying that they would definitely make me pay with my blood. It was then that I found out that his injury was related to my parents. I went back on my word first, and my parents seriously injured him. As the saying goes, when enemies meet, their eyes turn red. I'm afraid he's thinking of how to take revenge on me.”
Qiu Shaochan frowned." Hun You has three thousand years of cultivation. He's not that easy to deal with. Did I implicate you?"”"It's not your fault," Yun Zhaoling said.”Yun Zhaoling turned to Fu Moran and said,""Fu Moran, why don't we…go back to Lianghu Mountain first?”Liu Yanxing shook his head." With Hun You's ability, I'm afraid it'll be difficult for us to leave this Three Route City.”
"Maybe things aren't as bad as we thought," Fu Moran said. If he really wanted to make a move, the few of you wouldn't have been able to escape just now.”Qiu Shaochan's expression turned bitter." He must be thinking of a way to torture me to vent his anger.”Fu Moran stood up." We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Eat first."”
Yun Zhaoling helped Qiu Shaochan up." That's right. Even if it's a huge matter, don't let your stomach go against you. Moreover, he would only have strength after he was full.”Qiu Shaochan nodded listlessly, and the group went to the lobby. Because it was the New Year, there were not many people in the inn. The few of them sat down and were eating when they suddenly heard the shopkeeper welcome them in with a smile." Would you like to eat or stay?”
The chopsticks in Qiu Shaochan's hand fell on the table. The few of them turned around and saw a group of five people walking in slowly. The black-robed man in the lead was Hun You. "Prepare two guest rooms," said the man beside Hun You.”"Yes, sir! Guests, this way please." With that, the shopkeeper led them to the second floor. From the beginning to the end, Hun You did not even look at Qiu Shaochan.
Liu Yanxing looked at Qiu Shaochan." It's them?”Qiu Shaochan nodded her head with difficulty." The leader is Hun You.”Shi Huan threw the chopsticks in his hand out of the door. There was silence outside. Shi Huan turned around and said,"There's a very strong barrier outside."”The few of them fell silent.
Qiu Shaochan slammed the table and stood up." I'm the one he wants to settle the score with. It has nothing to do with you. I'll go and talk to him!”After saying that, Qiu Shaochan rushed upstairs angrily. Yun Zhaoling was about to follow when he heard Fu Moran say,""Let her be. I don't think Hun You will do anything to her.”Yun Zhaoling looked at Fu Moran." How can you be so sure?”
Fu Moran said," First of all, Hun You represents the Sea Treasury Palace, while Shaochan represents the City of Heaven Return. Even if he wants to do something, he has to weigh the pros and cons." Secondly, I don't think he's looking for Shaochan.”"Isn't it?" "Then why is he like this?" Yun Zhaoling asked incredulously.”Fu Moran lowered her eyes and picked up her chopsticks.""Eat."
Just now, Qiu Shaochan was just being hot-headed. However, now that she was upstairs, her mind turned cold and she could not help but stop in her tracks. Uh…I'll come back later. At least I have to think about what to say. Qiu Shaochan turned around and was about to go downstairs when she suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her."Miss Qiu, the Hall Master said that if you are very free, he doesn't mind wasting time with you.”
Qiu Shaochan closed her eyes and turned to look at the man who had spoken." So it's the Vice Hall Master of Song Ling. Didn't you say that you want to pay with your blood? Now that I'm here, you can kill me or cut me up. However, I'll take responsibility for what I did. I've paid my debt, so don't implicate anyone else.”Song Ling could not even be bothered to look at Qiu Shaochan as he turned around and entered the house. Qiu Shaochan pouted. How rude!
Qiu Shaochan entered the house nervously. It would be a lie to say that she was not afraid. She had seen a lot of Hun You's methods when she sneaked into the Sea Treasury Palace. It was truly indescribable. Since Qiu Shaochan entered the house, she had been lowering her eyes, not daring to meet Hun You's gaze. "Have a seat." said Hun You. His voice was extremely calm.
Qiu Shaochan sat down shakily. It was impossible to tell whether Hun You was angry or not. He was still calm. Seeing that Hun You was silent, Qiu Shaochan took a deep breath and said,""I know. I broke my promise. I'm very sorry about this. But…" Qiu Shaochan mustered some courage and looked up at Hun You, who was looking at her." The Soul Returning Pearl you gave me is useless.”
"Nonsense!" "How can it be useless?" Song Ling said angrily. The hall master was afraid that the Soul Returning Pearl's spiritual power was not enough, so he spent hundreds of years of spiritual power in it…"”"Go out, I have something to say to her alone."”Song Ling gritted his teeth." I can't be bothered to look at such a person who bites the hand that feeds him!”After saying that, Song Ling flew out.
Qiu Shaochan looked at Hun You in surprise. She knew that Song Ling was a straightforward person and would not lie. She really didn't know that she had misunderstood Hun You because he cared so much about her. Qiu Shaochan pursed her lips." I'm really sorry! However, that Soul Returning Pearl did not save my friend. Otherwise, I would not have asked someone to send it back to you.”
"I know that you care so much about your friend. Even if there's a 1% chance, you won't be able to return the Soul Returning Pearl." Hun You said softly. Actually, the agreement I made with you that day was just a joke. You don't have to take it to heart.”Qiu Shaochan looked at Hun You in surprise." I…"
"The Soul Returning Pearl is an ancient item. Although it has been silent for so many years, it won't be without effect. I think there are only two possibilities. First, your friend's soul has already dissipated. Second, she has already been resurrected.”
Qiu Shaochan lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. She said in disbelief,"Before she died, she cast the Soul-Exterminating Curse and imprisoned her three souls outside the Nine Heavens. However, in just a few hundred years, we have been thinking of ways. It is impossible for her three souls to dissipate so quickly.”Hun You nodded." It should be so."”
Hun You looked at the shocked Qiu Shaochan and said,""In just a short ten years, you seem to have become more responsible.”Qiu Shaochan came back to her senses and looked at Hun You." Other than apologizing, I really don't know what else to say.”"No need." "That's not what I want to hear." Have your parents arranged a marriage for you?”Hearing this, Qiu Shaochan sighed." Yes, but I'm not willing. They can't force me.”
"What kind of person are you looking for?”Qiu Shaochan muttered," I don't know either. I've never thought about it seriously…" Qiu Shaochan looked at Hun You. Wasn't the topic they were talking about a little too strange? "Where are we going?" asked Hun You.”Qiu Shaochan pursed her lips and remained silent. "Even if you don't say it, I have a way to know."”
Qiu Shaochan pouted." I'm going to West Luo Mountain. I heard that there's something strange going on there…Don't tell me that the strange movement on West Luo Mountain is related to your Demon Realm?”Hun You shook his head." That's not the case. However, you might meet people from the Devil World.”"Oh." Qiu Shaochan nodded. Hun You opened his palm." Take your things back."”
Qiu Shaochan took a closer look and saw that it was her water droplet. Qiu Shaochan stood up and walked in front of Hun You. She felt that it was not appropriate to bend down to take it, so she squatted down and picked up the water droplet in Hun You's hand. Her fingers accidentally touched Hun You's hand and she felt his hand was icy cold. In her impression, Hun You's hand was warm from the front.
She couldn't help but raise her head to look at Hun You. When she met his deep eyes, there seemed to be a strange force that wanted to suck her in. Qiu Shaochan shook her head and stood up to take two steps back. She pursed her lips and asked,""I heard that the hall master was seriously injured.”Hun You retracted his hand and said,"It's alright. It's fine."”Qiu Shaochan still wanted to say something, but Hun You had already retracted his gaze." Miss Qiu, take care."”
Qiu Shaochan glanced at Hun You's tired expression and bowed.""Hall Master, you must take care of yourself. If there is a need in the future, I will definitely repay the debt I owed that day. But please, Hall Master, don't hurt my family and friends.”Hun You smiled faintly and did not say anything. Qiu Shaochan bowed and left.
Seeing that Qiu Shaochan had returned safely, Yun Zhaoling heaved a sigh of relief. However, Qiu Shaochan's expression was a little different from before. She seemed to have something on her mind. Everyone went upstairs to rest. Qiu Shaochan and Yun Zhaoling squeezed into the same bed. Yun Zhaoling knew that Qiu Shaochan had something to say, so he held his eyes and waited for Qiu Shaochan to speak.
Qiu Shaochan turned around and looked at Yun Zhaoling." Zhaoling, talk to me."”Yun Zhaoling turned around and looked at Qiu Shaochan." Yes, I'm listening."”Qiu Shaochan looked at Yun Zhaoling and said,"Zhaoling, perhaps you think that I must have suffered a lot after doing so much for Nianxin." But I really don't feel wronged. I think if I were in her shoes, Nianxin would definitely do the same.”
Yun Zhaoling nodded." I miss Xinxiang. I think she would do the same."”Qiu Shaochan smiled." Do you know why I rarely mention Nianxin to you?”"Is it because you're sad?" Yun Zhaoling asked.”"That's one of the reasons, but the bigger reason is that I've treated you as Nianxin, intentionally or unintentionally. So, I hope that you will never know about the past.”
" Don't worry," Yun Zhaoling said." If you want to say it, then say it. If you don't want to say it, then I won't ask."”Qiu Shaochan leaned her head against Yun Zhaoling." Zhaoling…" Qiu Shaochan did not say anything else, but Yun Zhaoling was a little curious. What exactly did Hun You say to Qiu Shaochan to make her so abnormal?
