C42 (2/2)
Lu Yi hurriedly lowered her head. Her voice was so soft that she couldn't hear herself, ”It's you!”
Jin Jian stood up and bowed towards Hillen with a smile. ”Senior.”
Houlan glanced inside the carriage, then looked at Lu Yi and said, ”Where did you catch Houlan?”
Lu Yi lowered her head and pointed at Jin Jian.
Hailan asked, ”What are you guys trying to do?”
Jin Jian said, ”Senior, don't blame Lu Yi. Firstly, we wanted to find out who killed Senior Ying, and secondly, we wanted to help you so that you would not have to chase after her.”
Hailan sighed and said, ”But what if someone from the Jellyfish clan asks for someone from you? What will you do?”
Jin Jian was speechless and lowered his head.
Hailan said, ”Considering that the situation is so incomplete, and taking such a huge risk, if something happens, what should we do?”
Jin Jian said, ”Since senior came today, we can get someone to announce you tomorrow that you've run away again!”
He Lan Wuya didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Jin Jian said, ”Let's hurry up and get to business.”
Hailan asked, ”What important matter?”
Jin Jian said, ”We just said it before, the first reason we are going to do this is to lure you out and find out who killed Senior Ying!”
Houlan said, ”Are you sure I didn't kill the Cherry Blossom Lord?”
Jin Jian said, ”Senior Ying died because her internal organs were shattered. She did not die from any blade energy, which is inconsistent with the rumors. So it must be someone with ulterior motives.”
He Lan nodded innocently. ”Then why did you think I would be able to find the killer's clue?”
Jin Jian said, ”Because the person who framed you clearly knows that you have reappeared, and the person who framed you might very well be the person who killed Senior Ying.”
Haeru nodded. ”You're right.”
Jin Jian said, ”Therefore, please think about it. Other than the two of us, who else would know that you have already reappeared in Zhong Hai?”
”After I left you, I had a secret visit with your Master, who is also my good friend King Zenith Daogong. Other than that, I didn't reveal my identity to anyone, and it's impossible for your Master to frame me.”
Jin Jian said, ”That's strange.”
Hailan said, ”However, there is one other person who knows my identity without me telling him.”
Jin Jian asked, ”Who?”
Hailan Wuxia said, ”Jellyfish Clan's Elder, Ying Zhongxue!”
Jin Jian said in shock, ”Cherry Blossom?”
”When I disappeared from Zhong Hai that year, the only people I came into contact with were the patriarchs and elders of the various families. That day, when I was investigating the seal of the mayfly tribe, I encountered Cherry Blossom. He recognized me, but didn't use all his strength to deal with me, saying that he wanted to use me to deal with the mayfly tribe. ”
Jin Jian said, ”I heard that this Snow Cherry is very powerful and has a good character. She doesn't seem to be an expert that can kill Senior Ying.”
He Lan Wuque laughed, ”For matters of the world, falsifications and truths, especially the rumors of the martial arts world, are the most unbelievable. Perhaps one day you might discover in astonishment that the person who killed the Shadowgale Young Master is really me!”
With that, Jin Jian's heart sank.
Haeru swept a glance at Lu Yi. ”You never told me you were the daughter of Green-Fin the Blood Race.”
Lu Yi's body shuddered as she said, ”You, you didn't ask either!”
”Hah, but this way, many of your actions will seem to have other motives,” Haeru replied.
Lu Yi was so scared that her entire body started to tremble. Not only did she fear that He Lan Wuque would deal with her, she was most afraid that Jin Jian would see her after he used the Ice and Snow Wine to kill Jin Jian.
When she thought of this, Lu Yi raised her head and looked into Hailan's eyes.
He Lan Wuque sighed and said, ”Paper can't wrap a fire. It's better to leave some of your words to yourself.” I should not stay for long, and remember not to do such a thing in the future. Killing the forces of the little Ying Kong, and also not hoping to meet with people from the Jellyfish clan, is very dangerous. ” As he spoke, he gave Lu Yi a meaningful glance and said, ”I'm leaving!”
As he spoke, there was a swoosh. A black wind lifted up the curtain of the carriage. When he looked outside, he could see that there was no trace of Haeru.
Just as Jin Jian was sighing in admiration in his heart, Lu Yi walked over timidly and looked at him.
Jin Jian felt very uncomfortable under her gaze. ”What happened to you? Why are you looking at me like that all of a sudden?”
Lu Yi said, ”I …” ”I, uh, I …”
Jin Jian said, ”What's the matter?”
Lu Yi said, ”I have something to tell you.”
Jin Jian said, ”Then wouldn't it be fine if you just said it?”
Lu Yi said, ”Are you sure you won't be angry after hearing this?”
Jin Jian said, ”What's the matter?”
Lu Yi lowered her head and didn't speak for a long time. After a while, she stammered, ”Actually, the last time was when you were extremely cold. The reason why you had the disease … Because... Because I gave you some Ice and Snow Wine. ”
Jin Jian's body shuddered. ”What? Didn't you give me some alcohol to drink? ”
Lu Yi said, ”I lied to you.” At that time, I, I, my dad said that your life was a threat to the Strigoi, so I couldn't keep you alive until you were twenty years old. Coincidentally, after you finished drinking your fire wine, he gave me the Ice and Snow Fruit, which caused your illness, and then you died! ”
By the end of her sentence, Lu Yi's voice was already as soft as a mosquito's, so much so that she couldn't hear herself.
Jin Jian did not return for a long time. After a long while, he laughed bitterly, ”I'm so silly, to actually drink it without any doubt. Before that, you and your father all wished for my death. I'm so foolish.”
”I'm sorry, I, at that time, I, I didn't want to kill you, I didn't want to see you die, I was just, just, just, just too unruly. You just bullied me, I felt as if I had seen your pain, my dad told you a way, I just, I just …” Tears rolled down her face, and there was a sob in her voice, but she tried her best to suppress it, and continued, ”I'm really sorry, but I, I now, find myself becoming more and more attached to you, really, I like you, you, can you forgive me? I know I shouldn't have said that, but I promise that from now on, I'll love you and will never do anything to hurt you again, okay? ”
Jin Jian did not say anything for a long time.
Lu Yi said with tears streaming down her face, ”I beg of you, please don't not talk, okay? Will you forgive me? ”
Jin Jian held onto Lu Yi's hand, looked into her eyes, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. He said, ”Who told you to tell me this now? I've already fallen for you. How can I blame you?”
Lu Yi raised her head and excitedly looked at him. ”You, you're not blaming me. You're really not blaming me?”
Jin Jian said, ”At the beginning, I really blamed you a little, but later on, I felt that if I didn't like you, I might have just laughed it off after hearing your words. Anyway, you didn't kill me in the end.” For a moment I thought I couldn't face you, but then I realized that if you told me, if you fell in love with me, I might not even be there. You just said it a little too late, so why should I blame you? I've already felt your transformation. I believe this matter has been torturing you for a long time, right? Let it torture you. How can you let it torture me again? Let me lose the woman I love? Do you think I'm as stupid as you? ”
”Wail!” Lu Yi suddenly cried out as she threw herself into Jin Jian's arms.
Jin Jian embraced her and said with a smile, ”Idiot, if all the people who were enemies with each other before could not fall in love in the future, then how much of a good marriage would be lost in this world?”
Lu Yi hugged Jin Jian tightly. ”I understand, I understand. I love you. I'll never leave you!”
Jin Jian said, ”Alright, alright, alright. We'll always be together, okay?”
”Alright.” As she spoke, her heart suddenly sank. There was still a huge rock hanging in her heart, preventing her from landing for a long time.
Can I tell him about it?
It was better to wait for the future.
