Xuan Lie and Ji Qingyan didn't know that a storm was coming. They were still reading in the study and occasionally recited poems until a servant came on Xuan Qing's orders.
"Lord Marquis, Old Master invites you and Young Master Ji to the main hall.”
"Alright." Xuan Lie and Ji Qingyan closed their books and walked towards the hall. However, they never expected that other than Xuan Qing and Princess Yong Ping, there were two uninvited guests in the hall.
Du Jiyao rushed forward the moment he saw Ji Qingyan. "Flame God, I've been looking for you for a long time.”
"Don't touch him!" Xuan Lie stood between Du Jiyao and Ji Qingyan, preventing him from touching Ji Qingyan.
"Who do you think you are?" Du Jiyao said angrily. Xuan Lie seemed to have regarded Ji Qingyan as his.
Xuan Qing also had a lot of questions he wanted to ask his son."Lie 'er, what's going on? So Young Master Ji is not a distant relative of Zhongkai, then who is he?”
Xuan Lie didn't answer because he didn't know how to answer.
"I knew that things couldn't be hidden.”"Let me explain!" Ji Qingyan chuckled. People call me Flame God. I used to live on Flower Street.”
"Good heavens!" Princess Yong Ping gasped and looked at Ji Qingyan with disgust.
"You live on Flower Street?" Xuan Qing's face was livid as he wanted to confirm it again.
"Dear Lie, your parents 'reactions are really interesting.”Ji Qingyan looked as if they were making a fuss over nothing.
"You, you guys…Oh! Good heavens." Princess Yong Ping looked like she was about to faint. "Lie 'er, tell mother that you two are not in that kind of relationship. Quickly tell mother!”
Xuan Lie only needed to deny it to prevent this storm from expanding, but he didn't want to lie.
"I like azure flames." Xuan Lie said honestly.
"Don't talk nonsense. What about Ming Zhu?”Now, Princess Yong Ping did not care who her son's partner was at all. As long as that person was a woman, it was fine.
"I've already broken off my engagement with Ming Zhu.”Xuan Lie revealed another piece of news that shocked his parents.
"What did you say? You broke off your engagement with Mingzhu? When did this happen? Why didn't I know?"
Xuan Qing was furious. Xuan Lie had always been the child they were most proud of. How did things turn out like this?
"It's all your fault!" Princess Yongping pointed at Ji Qingyan and said," If it weren't for you, our Lie 'er wouldn't have become like this. Get out of here. You are not welcome in our Xuan Mansion!"”
From the beginning, she had felt that men who were too beautiful were a disaster. Now, it proved that her hunch was correct.
"Flame God, I've already asked you to leave. Come with me!”The development of the matter was exactly what Du Jiyao wanted.
Ji Qingyan looked at Xuan Lie and smiled bitterly." It seems like we're not suited to be together.”
Ji Qingyan turned around and was about to leave with Du Jiyao. Xuan Lie hurriedly grabbed Ji Qingyan's hand.
"No, don't go!" He couldn't lose Ji Qingyan!
"Lie 'er, you're not allowed to chase after him. Come back!”
Princess Yong Ping screamed. Perhaps it was because she was too angry, but she actually fainted in front of everyone.
"Mother!" Xuan Lie couldn't lose Ji Qingyan, but he also couldn't leave his unconscious mother behind. In the end, he made a painful decision.
"Qingyan, I'll find you again.”After saying this, Xuan Lie immediately walked back to his unconscious mother.
Seeing this, Du Jiyao said in Ji Qingyan's ear,"
"So Xuan Lie only loves you to this extent. If it were me, I would side with you no matter what.”
Xuan Lie wasn't going back to his mother's side. Ji Qingyan believed that he would come looking for her soon.
Once they tasted the sweetness, it was as if they were addicted to drugs, and they would never be able to escape.
Ji Qingyan turned around and left without saying a word.
"Flame God, I want an explanation.”Du Jiyao requested.
Ji Qingyan had returned to his Flame Residence on Flower Street, and Du Jiyao followed him like a shadow.
"I don't know what I need to explain to you.”Ji Qingyan sneered.
Hearing this, Du Jiyao immediately grabbed Ji Qingyan's arm and questioned him,""You promised me that you would never fall in love with anyone, but you gave your heart and soul to Xuan Lie.”
"So what? The body is mine, and the heart is also mine. It's none of your business who I give it to.”
Du Jiyao couldn't accept Ji Qingyan's words. He was the one who knew Ji Qingyan first. Who was Xuan Lie? In terms of first come, first served, Xuan Lie definitely wouldn't get the chance. How could Xuan Lie get Ji Qingyan?
"You are mine!" Du Jiyao pressed Ji Qingyan onto the bed and leaned over himself. In the past, because he respected Ji Qingyan, he didn't even dare to touch a single hair on his head. However, it was obvious that he was wrong to do so.
Du Jiyao, what are you doing!"
Even though she was at a disadvantage on the bed, Ji Qingyan still did not look afraid or fearful at all.
"Whatever Xuan Lie did to you, I will do to you.”Du Jiyao said through gritted teeth.
"Do you think this will work? I still don't belong to you." Ji Qingyan glared at him.
"At least I can get your person!”
Du Jiyao tore open Ji Qingyan's shirt with a swoosh. He had expected Ji Qingyan to resist fiercely, but Ji Qingyan didn't have any reaction. She just turned her face away.
"Why didn't you resist?" Du Jiyao asked.
"Do whatever you want!" Ji Qingyan said expressionlessly. However, you can only get my body. It's like hugging an ice-cold corpse. You won't feel any pleasure.”
It meant that Du Jiyao could only get his person, but not his heart.
"Why? I'm not convinced, I'm not convinced!"
If he only wanted Ji Qingyan's body, he would have had many opportunities. However, Du Jiyao was not satisfied. He desired Ji Qingyan's body and even more so, her heart. However, Ji Qingyan had given his heart and soul to a man he had just met. How could Du Jiyao be convinced?
"Xuan Lie is special." Ji Qingyan said.
Hearing this, Du Jiyao's jealousy burned even more. He said in a rage,""I want to kill Xuan Lie!"
" Du Jiyao, you…" Ji Qingyan's expression changed drastically as she looked at Du Jiyao. He didn't seem to be joking.
Du Jiyao gave Ji Qingyan a bloodthirsty smile.
"I once said that no matter who you fall in love with, I will definitely kill that person.”
"How dare you!"
"There's nothing I don't dare to do. The worst case scenario is losing you. Besides, I've already lost you, haven't I?”He had nothing to lose, so what he couldn't get, no one else could.
Ji Qingyan and Xuan Lie would never be happy.
Du Jiyao, don't hurt Xuan Lie."
"Is this an order?" Du Jiyao sneered. In the past, he only listened to the orders of two people. One was the Emperor, and the other was the beautiful man in front of him.
" It's not an order, it's a request." Ji Qingyan had never asked anyone before. This was the first time.
Du Jiyao laughed mockingly again.
"The Flame God actually begged me. Hearing what you said, I must kill Xuan Lie!”
Du Jiyao turned around and left, leaving Ji Qingyan, who was worried about Xuan Lie's safety, behind.
At this moment, Xuan Lie, who was in the Xuan Mansion, was also troubled. He was under house arrest in his room, and there were four guards outside the door. Xuan Lie had promised Ji Qingyan that he would find him, but it was impossible for Xuan Lie to slip out without alerting his parents.
He had to think of a way.
"Xuan Lie, I've come to see you." Tao Zhongkai pushed open the door and walked in.
When Xuan Lie saw him, he immediately said in a bad mood,"What are you doing here?"
He knew that he shouldn't blame Tao Zhongkai, but who taught Tao Zhongkai to appear at such an inopportune time that day? Moreover, the most hateful thing was that he actually appeared together with Du Jiyao.
"Xuan Lie, strictly speaking, you were in the wrong. If you had told me about you and the Flame God earlier, the situation wouldn't have gotten out of hand.”
Tao Zhongkai's words were really harsh to Xuan Lie, but Xuan Lie wasn't in the mood to argue with him.
"I'm not in a good mood now. Don't bother me.”
"That won't do unless you don't want to read the letter the Flame God gave you.”Tao Zhongkai waved the information channel in his hand.
"Qing Yan gave it to me?" Xuan Lie snatched the letter.
Seeing Xuan Lie open the letter anxiously, Tao Zhongkai said,"Someone mysteriously gave this to me at the door just now. Right, shouldn't you be thanking me? I took a huge risk to secretly bring you a letter!”
Xuan Lie rolled his eyes at him, then he lowered his head to read the letter without wasting any time.
The letter read!
Lie, I have something important to discuss with you. Let's meet at the White Cloud Pavilion in the east of the city tonight.
The signature at the end of the letter was indeed Ji Qingyan.
"What does the letter say?" Tao Zhongkai asked.
"Qingyan wants me to meet him at the White Cloud Pavilion tonight.”
Xuan Lie said it easily, but he was now under house arrest. How could he get out?
"What do you plan to do?"
"No matter what, I have to go and meet Qing Yan. So, Zhong Kai, I need your help.”
"What do you want me to do?" Tao Zhongkai knew that Xuan Lie must be thinking of something.
Xuan Lie whispered his plan into Tao Zhongkai's ear.
Later!
"Not good, not good!" Tao Zhongkai rushed out of Xuan Lie's room and shouted,"Xuan Lie looks so strange!"
"What?"
The four guards rushed into Xuan Lie's room and ran to his bed. However, when they lifted the quilt, they found that there was nothing under the quilt. They didn't know where Xuan Lie had gone.
In fact, Xuan Lie had been hiding by the door. He took advantage of the guards rushing to the bed to easily walk out of the room and lock the door.
"Lord Marquis, open the door!"
When the guards realized Xuan Lie's intentions, they were all locked up in their rooms.
"Just stay in your rooms obediently! If he was lucky, he might not be discovered.”
Their plan succeeded, but Tao Zhongkai sighed and said,"
"If Uncle Xuan finds out that I helped you escape, my outcome will definitely be very miserable.”
"When the time comes, you can push all the blame to me and say that I forced you.”
Xuan Lie didn't want to make things difficult for Tao Zhongkai. If his parents found out that he had escaped, they would be even angrier!
"Xuan Lie, is it worth it for you to make such a sacrifice for him?”Tao Zhongkai asked.
"In the past, I would never have thought that I would become like this, so crazy, so irrational. But now, even if everyone in the world is against it, I still want to be with Qingyan.”
Xuan Lie was willing to give up everything for love.
"Then I can only wish you well."
"Thank you. At least I know that there is still one person in the world who supports me and Qingyan.”Xuan Lie bitterly smiled.
Tao Zhongkai felt so pitiful. It was as if he was the only one in the world who was unloved.
Sigh! He also wanted to suffer from love.
The frustrated Tao Zhongkai came to Flower Street to find comfort, but who knew that he would meet someone who shouldn't be here at this time.
"Flame God!" Tao Zhongkai looked at Ji Qingyan in surprise. Wasn't he supposed to meet Xuan Lie at the White Cloud Pavilion? Why was he still on Flower Street? This was too strange.
"Young Master Tao, it's good to meet you. Can you help me pass a message to Xuan Lie?”Ji Qingyan asked.
He had to warn Xuan Lie about Du Jiyao's intention to kill him earlier.
"But why didn't you tell him yourself? Didn't you ask him to meet you at the White Cloud Pavilion?" Tao Zhongkai wondered.”
"What?" "I didn't even ask him to meet me at the White Cloud Pavilion!" Ji Qingyan said with a puzzled look.”
Hearing Ji Qingyan's words, Tao Zhongkai also sensed that something was wrong. He couldn't help but ask,"
"If you didn't ask him out, then who did?”
At this moment, a person immediately appeared in Ji Qingyan's mind. He gritted his teeth and called out that person's name,""Du Jiyao!" Other than Du Jiyao, there was no one else.
What was Du Jiyao's purpose in impersonating his name and asking Xuan Lie out? Could it be…
As if she had thought of something, Ji Qingyan dashed out.
"Flame God, where are you going? Is Xuan Lie in danger?" Tao Zhongkai asked.
Only Qingfeng answered Tao Zhongkai because Ji Qingyan had already run away.
Ji Qingyan tried her best to rush to the White Cloud Pavilion. He had to stop Du Jiyao from hurting Xuan Lie.
To him, Xuan Lie was no longer just the target of his revenge, but…
He hoped that he could stop everything in time.
Was he too early?
Xuan Lie didn't see Ji Qingyan when he arrived at the White Cloud Pavilion. He thought he had arrived too early. However, someone immediately appeared in front of Xuan Lie. It was not Ji Qingyan, but Du Jiyao, Du Jiyao with a bow and arrow.
"General Du, why are you here?”Xuan Lie frowned and asked.
Moreover, Du Jiyao looked unfriendly.
"I'm the one who asked you to come here." Du Jiyao said.
"You? Why?" Xuan Lie asked.
"Humph! Can't you tell? I'm going to kill you." Du Jiyao said with jealousy.
"May I know the reason?" For someone who was about to be killed, Xuan Lie's performance could be said to be quite calm.
"You shouldn't have let the Flame God fall in love with you!" Du Jiyao said angrily.
"No matter who Qing Yan loves, do you still want to kill them?" Xuan Lie asked. This isn't love. You're acting like a child who can't get a toy. You just want to destroy the toy.”
If Xuan Lie said this to anger Du Jiyao, then he definitely did it.
"I didn't want to hurt the Flame God!" Du Jiyao argued for himself.”
"You still want to argue? Even if Qingyan is sad, you still want to kill me, right?”
Hearing Xuan Lie's words, Du Jiyao snorted coldly and said,""Do you think the Flame God is serious about you?”
"What do you mean?" Xuan Lie asked. Du Jiyao seemed to be implying that Ji Qingyan wasn't serious about him.
"Sometimes, it's better not to know the truth.”As he spoke, Du Jiyao drew his bow and prepared to attack. "In order to prevent you from suffering too much when you find out the truth in the future, I'll send you to the afterlife now.”
"Du Jiyao, speak clearly!”
Du Jiyao didn't think it was necessary to answer Xuan Lie's question. He was about to shoot an arrow at Xuan Lie.
At this moment!
"Stop!" At that critical moment, Ji Qingyan rushed to the White Cloud Pavilion. He jumped off the horse and stood in front of Xuan Lie. "If you want to kill Xuan Lie, you have to kill me first!”
"Are…are you serious?" Du Jiyao was extremely shocked. Ji Qingyan had once said that he only loved himself, but at this moment, Ji Qingyan regarded Xuan Lie's life as more important than his own.
"Yes, I'm serious." Ji Qingyan answered without hesitation.
He loved Xuan Lie more than his own life.
"Qingyan, move aside!" Xuan Lie said. How could he let Ji Qingyan protect him?
Ji Qingyan replied firmly,""No, I won't let you. I'd rather die with you.”
" Qingyan, you..." Xuan Lie admitted that Du Jiyao's words had indeed cast a shadow in his heart, but now he couldn't help but feel ashamed of his suspicion of Ji Qingyan.
If Ji Qingyan wasn't serious about him, why would she rush over here? If Ji Qingyan wasn't serious about him, why would she stand in front of him and block the arrow for him?
"Humph! If you want to die together, I'll fulfill your wish!”
Du Jiyao was blinded by jealousy. He even wanted to kill Ji Qingyan.
The arrow shot out with a whoosh, and Ji Qingyan immediately closed her eyes. He was a sinful person, so even if he died now, he deserved it. Moreover, he had to thank the heavens for letting him meet Xuan Lie before he died, letting him know what love was.
" Green flames!!" At that moment, Xuan Lie made a decision. He pushed Ji Qingyan away and stood up to face the arrow.
"Lie, no!"
When Ji Qingyan came back to her senses, Xuan Lie had already been shot. His clothes were dyed red with blood.
"Qingyan, you can't die.”Xuan Lie said painfully.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
He wasn't worthy of Xuan Lie treating him like this. He had used Xuan Lie for revenge from the very beginning!
"Flame God, have a taste of the pain of losing your loved one!”After that, Du Jiyao turned around and left.
"Lie, I will definitely save you."
Ji Qingyan carried the injured Xuan Lie on a deserted road. Xuan Lie had to see a doctor as soon as possible, but he was afraid that riding a horse would worsen Xuan Lie's injuries.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of horse hooves approaching. It turned out that Tao Zhongkai had rushed over because he was worried about them.
"What happened to Xuan Lie?"
In fact, Tao Zhongkai could tell without Ji Qingyan's answer. Xuan Lie was injured by an arrow, and it looked very serious.
"I beg you, quickly go and find a carriage!”Ji Qingyan said.
"Alright, I'll go now."
Tao Zhongkai immediately turned back to find a carriage to save them. He didn't know what had happened, but he felt that Xuan Lie and Ji Qingyan still had a long way to go before they could get happiness.#
