Chapter 89: Confront Su Xingchen
With a "squeak", the two doors slowly opened to both sides, revealing the figure behind the door. Su Xingchen held a red lantern and stood in the dark night. The faint light emitted by the lantern reflected his gloomy face.
The night wind blew over the wild grass, rustling, and the wind lifted Su Xingchen's clothes, making a hunting sound.
He was wearing a red suit.
He had jet-black hair, a blood-red headband, his eyes were bottomless, and his gaze wrapped around Tao Jingyi like a poisonous snake. His expression was gloomy and frightening.
Su Xingchen stepped into the room slowly, extinguished the lantern in his hand, threw it on the ground casually, and walked towards Tao Jingyi.
There are two rows of wooden shelves in the room, the shelves are full of red candles, and the candlelight illuminates the room like daytime.
Su Xingchen stood in front of Tao Jingyi, his face was clearly illuminated by the candlelight.
He just stared at Tao Jingyi so gloomyly, smiled coldly, and said slowly: "Sister, or I should call you, Miss Tao Jingyi and Tao..."
Tao Jingyi forced himself to calm down, and he must not lose his composure.
She took a deep breath, raised her head, and met Su Xingchen's gaze without fear: "Su Xingchen, Xia Mingyuan has nothing to do with this matter, you let him go."
"It has nothing to do with him?" Su Xingchen's smile became colder, he was obviously smiling, but knives flew out of his eyes, "If it weren't for you, how could my elder sister disappear."
"I took Su Xiyan's body. Su Xiyan's disappearance, I should bear greater responsibility. Su Xingchen, since you already know everything, let Xia Mingyuan go, let Duan Feibai bring his piano sword over, As long as I have the Qin sword, I can leave, and if I leave, the real Su Xiyan will come back."
"You think I'll believe your nonsense!" Su Xingchen's tyrannical expression flashed across his face, he raised his right hand, and grabbed Tao Jingyi's chin fiercely, "When the time comes, you and Xia Mingyuan will leave, my darling My sister can't come back, so I'm going to settle the score with someone."
"If you don't try it, how will you know it won't work." Tao Jingyi looked directly at Su Xingchen with dark eyes, "If you don't do anything, Su Xiyan really won't be able to come back."
The expression in Su Xingchen's eyes changed, as if he was considering Tao Jingyi's words.
Tao Jingyi continued: "As long as my body survives, Su Xiyan will most likely be able to come back."
She believed that, given how much Su Xingchen valued Su Xiyan, even if there was only a little bit of hope, she would not let it go.
Sure enough, Su Xingchen's eyes had a wavering light: "Sister, can you really come back?"
"With you here, she will definitely come back."
Su Xiyan has a fickle temperament, but she has deep affection for Su Xingchen. As long as Su Xingchen is here, she will come back.
Su Xingchen let go of Tao Jingyi, turned around and walked towards Xia Mingyuan, raised his hand and untied the iron chain on his body.
Xia Mingyuan felt weak all over his body. Without the restraint of the iron chain, he immediately collapsed to the ground and didn't get up for a long time.
Su Xingchen glanced at him indifferently, and said coldly, "Go find Duan Feibai and come here with his qin sword. If you haven't come by this time tomorrow, I'll kill Tao Jingyi and bury her with me."
"You keep your word, don't touch a single hair of Tao Jingyi before that." Xia Mingyuan raised his head vigorously, and after saying this, he supported his body with both hands, and slowly crawled out of the house.
Even if he crawled today, he still had to get out alive.
As Xia Mingyuan crawled, a long bloodstain trailed behind him.
Tao Jingyi looked at his back worriedly. She didn't know if Xia Mingyuan would persist until Duan Feibai's arrival given Xia Mingyuan's serious injury.
When Duan Feibai found out that she was missing, he would search everywhere. I hope Duan Feibai can find him soon and save Xia Mingyuan's life. Both she and Xia Mingyuan came here from a different time and space, and no one is sure, after death, whether they really died or returned to the original world.
Now he can only place his hopes on Duan Feibai's piano sword.
Perhaps out of survival instinct, Xia Mingyuan slowly stood up after crawling for a while, without knowing where the strength came from.
He held on to the door frame, his face was pale, he looked back, his mouth moved, but there was no sound. Then he strode out of the house and limped off into the night.
He silently said three words to Tao Jingyi—wait for me.
Su Xingchen kept staring at Xia Mingyuan's back. During the whole process, Tao Jingyi's heart almost rose to his throat. Su Xingchen was moody and full of hostility, if he suddenly repented and took Xia Mingyuan's life, it would not be surprising.
Fortunately, from the beginning to the end, Su Xingchen just frowned and watched Xia Mingyuan leave. No one knew what he was thinking at that moment.
After Xia Mingyuan left, Su Xingchen turned around.
The red candles in the room were already half burned, and since the door was open, the wind was blowing into the room, and the candlelight reflected Su Xingchen's shadow on the wall.
The cold wind hit Tao Jingyi's cheeks, making her shiver involuntarily.
She raised her eyes, Su Xingchen was already standing in front of her.
He was staring at her with strange eyes, and even the hostility and murderous intent between his brows disappeared without a trace, as if he had become her good brother again.
"Sister." He called softly, his eyes gradually showed obsession, he couldn't help reaching out his hand, and gently stroked her cheek.
Tao Jingyi instantly understood that Su Xingchen was looking at Su Xiyan through this face.
Tao Jingyi didn't know whether he should do nothing, or follow Su Xingchen and continue pretending to be Su Xiyan to confuse him.
"Actually, you and sister are quite similar." Su Xingchen said suddenly.
Su Xiyan in front of Su Xingchen is gentle and lovely, pampering him in everything, and occasionally pretending to be fierce.
Su Xingchen couldn't tell for a moment whether the person in front of him was Tao Jingyi or Su Xiyan.
Even, when Xia Mingyuan told him the truth, he almost killed Xia Mingyuan.
He thought it was Xia Mingyuan who was bewitching him and alienating the relationship between him and Ajie.
After Su Xingchen uttered these words, Tao Jingyi froze for a moment before realizing what he meant.
Su Xiyan in the original book is multi-faceted, and Su Xiyan, who lost Duan Feibai's limbs, is cruel, cruel and ruthless;
Facing Duan Feibai who has lost his memory, Su Xiyan has the arrogance and domineeringness of a young lady, but also the arrogance and gentleness of a little girl. Otherwise, the young Duan Feibai would not have fallen for her tenderness so quickly.
But in Su Xingchen's heart, Su Xiyan is always affectionate, cute, and delicate, and all her beautiful sides are blooming to Su Xingchen heartily.
She is his sister and also his lover. She pampered him, doted on him, and was afraid of his sharp teeth. Su Xiyan like this is inevitably somewhat similar to Tao Jingyi.
No wonder Su Xingchen was confused.
"Sister is tired, I'll let sister down." Su Xingchen untied the chain on Tao Jingyi's wrist, "However, in order to prevent sister from being misbehaving, let's wrong sister for a while."
He sealed Tao Jingyi's acupuncture points, hugged her, and put her on a chair beside him.
Tao Jingyi couldn't move at all, so he could only let him move.
Su Xingchen noticed that Tao Jingyi's wrist was scratched with red marks from the iron chain, he squatted beside her, held her wrist, rubbed it gently, and said, "Sister, it doesn't hurt. "
Tao Jingyi looked helpless, she really had nothing to do with this little lunatic Su Xingchen.
As the candles burned to the end bit by bit, the sky outside the house brightened.
Another sunny day.
The golden light penetrated the clouds and shone on the vast land, and the late autumn wind was blowing the wild grass and dead trees all over the ground.
Su Xingchen stood up and walked towards the outside of the house. Before leaving, he didn't forget to close the door.
Tao Jingyi had been sitting frozen for the middle of the night.
For the past two hours, Su Xingchen has been sitting beside her, staring at her cheeks with a pair of dark eyes, making her creepy and uncomfortable.
Tao Jingyi thought it would take at least a while for Su Xingchen to go out, so she tried her best to mobilize her internal energy, trying to break through the acupoints, but unexpectedly, Su Xingchen only went out for a while, and then turned back in a hurry.
His face was full of exasperation, and he muttered in his mouth: "Feng Linzhi, Dongfang Yue, and Duan Wushuang, why are they all here..."
Hearing these familiar names, Tao Jingyi suddenly raised his head.
Su Xingchen was full of murderous intent. He walked back and forth in the room for a few steps, with a crazy light in his eyes: "They all came here to **** sister, they must be! No, they must not be allowed to **** sister!"
After saying this, his eyes fell on Tao Jingyi.
Meeting his strange gaze, Tao Jingyi's scalp went numb, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end.
Su Xingchen came over suddenly, bent over, stretched out his arms, and hugged Tao Jingyi in his arms.
Tao Jingyi's body rose into the air and fell into Su Xingchen's arms. She said in surprise, "Su Xingchen, where are you taking me?"
"Duan Wushuang led the Zhennan King's army, and surrounded the road down the mountain. There was a strange boy behind him, and they were all approaching here." The expression on Su Xingchen's face was as if It was cracked inch by inch, with a rare look of panic and fear, "They all want to **** my sister! I won't allow it, sister is mine, and no one can take it away!"
Tao Jingyi knew that Su Xingchen's mind was close to being insane, and the repeated blows made this young man vulnerable to any blows.
She frowned, thinking about Su Xingchen's words. Duan Wushuang and Dongfang Yue came, Feng Linzhi and Lin Luoan also came, why did they appear at the same time?
They definitely did not come for her, Tao Jingyi was sure of this.
Not for her, but for Duan Feibai? !
Tao Jingyi's heart sank suddenly.
Duan Wushuang and Dongfang Yue are definitely here for Duan Feibai. I'm afraid they already know that Duan Feibai is the Guizi.
Duan Wushuang and Dongfang Yue, one is domineering and the other is frosty, but neither is as simple as it appears on the surface.
In the original book, after Duan Feibai committed suicide, he briefly mentioned that Duan Wushuang cooperated with Dongfang Yue.
At the end, it also hinted that they joined forces and finally got their wish. One became the emperor and the other became the leader of the martial arts. The first condition for being the leader of the martial arts alliance is to kill Mr. Gui, which was promised by the leader of the Qin alliance, so their goal must be Duan Feibai.
So what about the end of the wind? Why did he find Duan Feibai?
Images of the past flashed through Tao Jingyi's mind, and he suddenly remembered that Yu Sangqing had asked Feng Linzhi to do two things before he died. The first was to kill the rebels and avenge him. At that time, the three major protectors of the rebellion died in his hands;
The second is to kill Duan Feibai, but this is Yu Sangqing's selfishness.
After Feng Linzhi took over as the Flower God Sect, although he didn't mention it on the surface, he probably didn't forget it in his heart. He came here this time to kill Duan Feibai!
Tao Jingyi's complexion changed slightly. Duan Feibai would definitely come when he learned of her whereabouts. By then, wouldn't he be surrounded by Zhennan King and Huashen Sect!
"Su Xingchen, let me go, something will happen!" Tao Jing said quickly.
Su Xingchen paused, lowered his eyes, and looked at Tao Jingyi coldly: "Let go of you? Let go of you and go with them?"
He laughed softly, as if he was crazy, and there were turbulent waves in the depths of his eyes: "Sister has abandoned me more than once, I won't allow it! I will never allow Sister to abandon me again!"
"I'm not your sister, Su Xingchen, wake up!" Tao Jingyi raised his voice, showing anxiety, "Look clearly, I'm Tao Jingyi."
Su Xingchen was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened slightly, and his eyes were a little sober. He held Tao Jingyi's hands, but tightened them bit by bit, and muttered in a low voice: "It's the same, it's all the same..."
