Zhao Shining politely invited Bai Congyue into Wuji Pavilion.
"Since I came here, Wuji Pavilion has never had a guest. You are the first one. There is no place to sit in this courtyard. Why don't I take you to the master's room?"
"No need to bother. I'll wait for Xie Linzhuo here."
Bai Congyue just waved her sleeves lightly, and a stone table and two stone benches appeared in the courtyard. There was also a pot of steaming hot tea on the table. Even the dead holly tree came back to life.
Zhao Shining walked under the holly tree and looked up at the lush green leaves. The red fruits dotted between the green leaves were crowded on the branches. It was really beautiful. She couldn't help but stretched out her hand to pick a small fruit and put it in her mouth to take a tentative bite.
Zhao Shining frowned bitterly. Before she could complain, Bai Congyue had already handed her a cup of hot tea.
"Drink slowly, be careful of the heat."
She quickly took the teacup and sipped the sweet tea, only then did she get rid of the bitterness just now.
"I didn't expect that this little fruit looks good, but tastes so bitter. My tongue is almost bitter."
Zhao Shining drank several cups of tea poured by Bai Congyue in a row before suppressing the bitter taste that went into his internal organs.
Bai Congyue's eyes curved slightly, "Maybe you are unlucky and just happened to eat a bad fruit."
Zhao Shining sat on the stone bench, holding her cheek and sighed, "You are right, I have always had bad luck."
She only sighed for a moment, and quickly returned to her usual coquettish appearance, complaining to Bai Congyue: "It's all your fault. If you hadn't resurrected this holly tree, how could I be bitter by this broken fruit."
"I'm sorry for you."
Bai Congyue nodded in agreement.
"Then you cut down this useless tree and replace it with a tree that can bear sweet fruits."
Zhao Shining pointed to the old tree that was probably nearly a hundred years old.
"I'm afraid that won't work. If your master comes back, he will be sad if he can't see this tree. After all, this holly was planted by him personally." Bai Congyue stared at her steadily, waiting for her answer.
Zhao Shining was already dissatisfied with Xie Linzhuo, and she laughed when she heard this.
"Don't be funny, how could Xie Linzhuo be sad for a tree? He is a monster born without emotions."
Bai Congyue's eyes became more and more sparkling, and her sight fell on the closed courtyard door intentionally or unintentionally.
"How can you say that about Xie Linzhuo? Do you have any misunderstandings about your master?"
Zhao Shining rarely met someone who was willing to chat with her. She finally had a place to pour out the bitterness she had been holding back for more than ten years. Facing such a gentle and considerate fox beauty, she was bewitched and told the truth.
"How could I have any misunderstandings about him? I have been with him for more than ten years. How could I not understand him? People like him are destined to be alone for the rest of their lives. Whoever meets him will be unlucky for eight lifetimes."
"But by the way, how did you get to know Xie Linzhuo? I thought that people like Xie Linzhuo would have no friends at all. Did you meet in heaven?" Zhao Shining knew nothing about Xie Linzhuo's past, and he had never mentioned anything about him to her.
Bai Congyue shook her head and thought for a moment, "I met him in the human world. He was just a teenager at that time. I still remember that he fell in the Fox Fairy Temple with injuries all over his body, and my people carried him back to Qingqiu."
"Wounds all over your body? Are they caused by exorcising demons and monsters?" Zhao Shining was no longer surprised by Xie Linzhuo's injuries.
"No, he wanted to see his dead mother for the last time. But Xie Linzhuo's master treated him very harshly. He asked Xie Linzhuo to cut off all love and not to have any ties. For this reason, he not only rejected Xie Linzhuo's request to go down the mountain, but also whipped him hundreds of times and punished him to kneel in the Wuji Pavilion for several days and nights."
Zhao Shining felt a little relieved when she heard this. She couldn't wait to ask, "Then what?"
"Xie Linzhuo still escaped down the mountain, but when he arrived in the human world, he found out that his parents had already given birth to a second child, and even his father had forgotten him and didn't even recognize him when they met."
Zhao Shining felt secretly happy when she heard about Xie Linzhuo's tragic past. She said without thinking, "He deserves it. His parents must have disliked him very much with his personality, so they sent him to the mountain to practice the ruthless way." As soon as
she finished speaking, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open.
Xie Linzhuo stood in the twilight, his robe rustling in the evening breeze, the sword in his hand constantly dripping with blood, his robes stained with large patches of blood that looked like plum blossoms.
He glanced at Zhao Shining expressionlessly.
Zhao Shining was so frightened that her breath was choked. She didn't know how long he had been standing at the door, and whether he had heard all the insults she had said to him...
She knew she was going to die, but with Bai Congyue here, she couldn't kneel down in seconds like she used to.
She didn't want to lose face in front of the beauty, so she forced herself to continue talking to Bai Congyue, as if she had completely ignored the existence of Xie Linzhuo.
Instead, it was Bai Congyue who spoke first to break the awkwardness.
"Where did you go? How did you get covered in blood? You're not injured, are you?"
"Youdu Mountain, to pick the Soul Locking Grass."
Zhao Shining didn't even raise his head when Xie Linzhuo spoke. His face became uglier and uglier. He answered Bai Congyue's question concisely and didn't say anything more to Bai Congyue. He turned and went into the room. When
Bai Congyue heard the three words "Soul Locking Grass", his eyes swept across Zhao Shining's blank face.
His eyes were a little regretful, and he said to Zhao Shining: "Your master must have heard those words. I'm afraid you won't have a good life in the future."
Zhao Shining wanted to say that her life was already difficult, but she considered that Xie Linzhuo might be able to hear her talking, so she held back the words.
For some reason, in front of Bai Congyue, she inexplicably said all the things she should and shouldn't say.
"You vixen, did you cast a curse on me that caused me to speak without restraint and cause such a big disaster?"
Zhao Shining turned hostile immediately. He had just greeted Bai Congyue politely with a smile, but now he was calling him a vixen.
Bai Congyue suddenly stood up and walked in front of her. His beautiful face, which was more beautiful than spring light, was a little closer to her.
She immediately became drowsy, her eyes were straight, and she could only see the red mole on the tip of his nose. Her breath was full of the sweet fragrance of his body.
His fingers gently lifted a strand of her hair that was stuck on her cheek, "It's not my fault. Who told you to say that my magic was not very good just now? I am the most vengeful person, so I want you to experience it."
Zhao Shining was so angry that his eyes were dizzy, and he bit Bai Congyue's neck hard.
"Dead fox, stinky fox, slutty fox, I will bite you to death."
Bai Congyue snapped her fingers lightly, and Zhao Shining's body softened and fell on the table.
His eyes fell on Xie Linzhuo who was standing by the window.
"It seems that your apprentice has an extra soul and a spirit. I think I know the owner of this soul."
"This matter seems to have nothing to do with you." Xie Linzhuo's tone was cold, with an inexplicable anger.
Bai Congyue saw that he was speaking with sarcasm, his eyes became darker, and he raised his hand to touch the wound on his neck.
"Your apprentice is quite interesting. I don't want you to kill him. After all, if his soul is extracted, I'm afraid he will be disabled if he doesn't die."
Xie Linzhuo thought of the intimate posture of Zhao Shining and Bai Congyue just now. He
couldn't help but recall that Zhao Shining was still saying that he loved her yesterday and pestered him for sex.
She is a liar.
He stared at Bai Congyue indifferently.
"My disciple, whether dead or alive, seems to have nothing to do with the Emperor of Qingqiu."
Bai Congyue raised the corner of his eye slightly, and fiddled with the golden bell on the tassel with his fingers. "But after not seeing you for twenty years, your temper has become worse. It seems that your disciple has tortured you a lot over the years."
Xie Linzhuo slammed the window shut, making a "clang" sound.
Bai Congyue didn't care about his rudeness. Now that he had seen Xie Linzhuo, he could go back without worry.
He leaned over and looked at Zhao Shining, who was still unconscious. The palm of his hand slowly condensed into a ball of golden light, and then the golden light slowly surrounded Zhao Shining, and then slowly disappeared.
"Little girl, I haven't settled the score with you for biting me yet, don't let your master kill you."
Inside the door.
Xie Linzhuo opened his clothes, lowered his eyes to look at the bloody wound, and could vaguely see the beating heart through the piercing wound.
He almost couldn't control himself and recalled what Zhao Shining said.
He was born a loner, a cold-blooded monster, and it was bad luck to meet him...
Xie Linzhuo felt annoyed for no reason. In addition to the pain from the wound, he vaguely felt another dull pain, which was thousands of times more painful than the pain from the wound.
Especially when he heard Bai Congyue telling Zhao Shining about the past, the unbearable dull pain almost tore him apart.
He thought of his parents who had died many years ago at an inappropriate time.
His parents always said they loved him, but when he was a child and cried and didn't want to go to Changliu, his father would break his legs with a stick without hesitation and tie him to Changliu to practice some kind of ruthless way. He was
hypocritical and disgusting.
Just like Zhao Shining.
The cold air in Xie Linzhuo's hand slowly condensed into a dagger.
Before he became an immortal, he stayed in the snow and wind, and what he often did was to cut his arms with a dagger one after another, and then watch them heal slowly for a long time.
Zhao Shining, Zhao Shining, Zhao Shining.
It was all Zhao Shining's fault.
Why did she talk nonsense, causing him to recall those past events and making him inexplicably upset...
It didn't matter.
She was dying.
He stabbed his heart again that was causing him pain.
No one could disturb his heart.
Not his dead parents, not his master.
Even less could Zhao Shining.
