”Are you a member of the Strigoi?” the man in black suddenly asked.
Lu Yi's heart trembled and she couldn't help but start to worry. However, when she saw him instantly retrieve the Fire Wine, she didn't dare to hide anything from him. ”Yes, yes.”
The man in black nodded and said no more.
However, in her heart, she was at a loss for words. ”How, how did you know?”
The man in black said, ”Ice and Snow Wine and Fire Wine are both precious items of the Blood race. For a young girl like her to be able to take out Ice and Snow Wine and make Jin Jian have no doubt that it was Fire Wine which meant that she could get both the fire wine and the Ice and Snow Wine.”
”You're right!”
The man in black said, ”Not only are you a member of the Blood Family, you are also an extremely noble one.”
”Then you …” Lu Yi bit her lips, ”Then why don't you leave Jin Jian to me?”
The man in black said, ”I don't believe in you. I believe in Jin Jian.”
Lu Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud. ”He drank a lifetime's worth of Fiery Wine, but in the end, she couldn't differentiate between what was Fiery Wine and Ice Snow Wine. You can't believe a fool like him.”
The man in black smiled, ”Do you know how much suffering he suffered in order to save you when you were unconscious?”
Lu Yi's heart trembled. She wanted to say something, but felt a trace of sweetness spreading from her heart. She felt shy and frightened, but she couldn't say anything. She could only lightly nod her head.
The black clothed man continued, ”He was willing to suffer so much to save you, so he must have believed that you would not harm him!”
Lu Yi's heart trembled. ”What a pity …”
The man in black frowned, ”What a pity.”
Lu Yi said, ”Unfortunately, I still harmed him.”
The black clothed man laughed, ”When he fed the Yang Jindan to you, it showed that he did not care about the suffering he suffered to save you.”
Lu Yi caressed Jin Jian's forehead. ”But this fool, he even …”
The black-clothed man sighed and looked towards Hai Shui who was outside the cave. ”He really does look like him.”
Lu Yi carefully looked at the sleeping Jin Jian and felt her heart fill up with a sweet feeling. She silently enjoyed this sweetness and didn't say anything. After a while, he suddenly thought of something, ”Oh right, how did you get that fire wine? Who exactly are you? ”
The man in black smiled, ”Of course, the Fiery Wine was stolen from the Fire Clan.”
Lu Yi was startled. ”What?”
The man in black said, ”I made a trip to the Fire Nation. I found the place where you had the fire wine stored and went in to get a jar of it.”
Lu Yi said, ”In such a short period of time …” She had wanted to say that in such a short period of time, you would be able to break through such a steep ice pillar, sense the Fire Clan, steal the wine, and rush back? However, just as he was about to ask, he couldn't help but remember his usual times of coming and going without a trace, and he felt that this wasn't much to him, so he changed his tone and said, ”Although the blood clan's fire wine is precious, it isn't locked in that tall building like the bloody light of the hemp ghost. It would be so easy for you to steal it from the beginning. ”However, this ice wall is so steep, yet you can actually come and go so freely in such a short time. It is truly unbelievable.”
The black clothed person replied, ”This is' Extreme Deep Cold '. Although it's all snow and ice here, the temperature above and below are still worlds apart. Even though the top of the ice pillar is also sealed in ice year round, the lower part of the ice pillar is more than ten times colder than the upper part of the ice pillar. I took more than ten years to get used to the ice pillar before I walked under it step by step. I was gradually able to control the extremely deep cold energy. Furthermore, your luck is very bad, the moment you arrived you fell to the bottom of the extreme cold. As for the coldest place, of course you would find it hard to even take a single step. ”
Lu Yi widened her eyes as she said, ”Have you already lived here for over a decade?”
The corners of the man in black's lips curled up. ”I've already lived here for thousands of years.”
Ah!” ”A few thousand years?” How can anyone live in a place like this for thousands of years?
The black clothed man smiled. ”Other than the fact that it's colder here, there's no difference.”
Lu Yi looked around, ”Why isn't there any difference?” There's no one here, aren't you lonely? ”
The black clothed man's brows twitched as he revealed a bitter smile, ”Ever since I lost her, the outside world has become even more lonely for me.”
Lu Yi's brows twitched. ”She?”
The man in black said, shaking his head without saying anything.
When Lu Yi saw his originally cold face, which was now as cold as ice, suddenly flash with traces of heat and pain, she knew that the 'she' in his mouth must be an extremely heavy and painful figure. He stopped talking and changed the topic. ”But you seem to care a lot about Jin Jian?”
The man in black raised his head and looked at the distant ice pillar outside the cave. ”That's right, the name 'Jin Jian' has long ago been passed down to me.”
Lu Yi said, ”Long time?” She looked at the face in her arms that was even more tender than hers. ”Is he long?”
The man in black smiled. ”Of course not this Jin Jian.”
Lu Yi said, ”Could it be that there's another Jin Jian?”
The man in black seemed surprised. ”You don't know?” He then gave her a large number of glances. ”Right. You naturally have no way of knowing. You're still too young.”
Lu Yi said, ”He's too young. No matter what, I'm not as young as this Jin Jian!” Who exactly is that Jin Jian you spoke of? And who are you? Why is this kid who's a few years younger than me called Jin Jian? ”
The man in black smiled, ”You asked so many questions in one breath, where do you want me to start from?”
Lu Yi said, ”Tell me your name first.”
The man in black's body trembled, ”My name... Ha, my name, in the past few thousand years, even I have not heard of my name, you, just call me Dao Qing. ”
Lu Yi said, ”Saber Qing?”
