Chapter 14
Being under the bed in the middle of the night was even more frightening, not to mention that this person recovered from his illness and ran around in unlined clothes in the middle of the night. If Wen Ruan could kill him with a knife again, Qin Suzhou really couldn't hold him back, so he let him go.
Yan Jue slept very obediently, not moving at all, and not long after closing her eyes, she heard the sound of steady breathing.Qin Suzhou turned over and looked at him, the watery moonlight fell on his face from the window at the head of the bed, as if a layer of veil had been cast on the fine jade pendant, beautiful as it is beautiful, but blurred.
Qin Suzhou originally wanted to untie the layer of yarn, but it was so troublesome, he really wanted to break it together with the yarn.
He silently stretched out his hand close to his neck—just like the heart, cutting the neck is not fatal, but if the poison is quenched, the poison will quickly flow through the whole body along with the spiritual power, and it will kill his body in an instant. Life.
The hands were clenched constantly, holding the weapon in the palm, getting closer inch by inch.
Qin Suzhou unconsciously held his breath.
Going around his fever, brushing his collar, finding the thickest artery where the blood flows, and relentlessly, silently, forcefully—
A hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.
Yan Jue opened his eyes in the moonlight.
Qin Suzhou looked into his eyes, dimpled at the corner of his mouth, and let go of his hand.
The weapon fell down, and with a quiet fragrance and soft touch, it hit Yan Jue's face.
"...Sachet?"
"The doctor sent it to you in the afternoon. I was free and added some things for you." The corners of Qin Suzhou's mouth became more curved, the dimples deepened, and his eyes became colder. "But you are guarding against me, aren't you?"
Yan Jue picked up the sachet and held it in the palm of his hand, closed his eyes and remained silent.
"If that's the case, then there's no need to force it." Qin Suzhou propped himself up on the bed to get up, but his hand was suddenly held down, and the fiery temperature came from his generous palm, and there was a rustle in his ear, and Yan Jue turned around.
"What about senior brother?" Yan Jue looked into his eyes calmly, facing him face to face, "Brother made such a temptation, isn't he also guarding against me?"
"..."
"But rather than being on guard—" Yan Jue paused, and the light in his light-colored eyes turned slightly, "I want to know where senior brother wants to go so late."
Qin Suzhou raised his eyes silently, his eyes wandering back and forth on his face.
"But I decided to give up my guard." Yan Jue sighed deeply, leaned over, and pressed his hand on his lower abdomen, "Sleep like this, you can touch my spirit base with your hands. "
"Do you think I dare not?" Voices like ice beads jumped into his ears one by one.
"No," Yan Jue closed his eyes and said softly, "I'm just tired."
Qin Suzhou slowly frowned, and pressed his fingers into claws on his spirit foundation. The powerful spiritual flow gathered here, pulsating powerfully under his palm.
If you want to get your hands on it, there is no better opportunity than now.
"Well—it's so cold." Yan Jue, who had his eyes closed, suddenly frowned, squeezed his fingers in between his fingers, and squeezed his hand tightly in his palm. Warmed my cold fingertips.
Qin Suzhou unconsciously let go of his hands, and let him forcefully twist their hands into a shape of interlocking fingers.
The box that was pressed tightly in his heart opened, and something came out uncontrollably. Qin Suzhou sighed wearily, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
……
Wrapped in the gentle fragrance of orchids, Qin Suzhou vaguely dreamed of a mountain full of orchids at night, and rarely overslept in the morning, when he opened his eyes, he saw Yan Jue's peach blossom eyes full of the morning sun Gazing at him.
Qin Suzhou's eyes slowly recovered under his gaze, and suddenly he saw the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a bright smile.
"Senior brother, good morning."
"Morning." Qin Suzhou yawned and rubbed his eyes, "Don't you need to investigate the cause of Guan Jing's death today?"
"I'm going now, but I'm a bit reluctant." Yan Jue rubbed the pillow, blinked, "I'm still sleepy."
"You sleepy ghost, you'll wake up early tomorrow." Qin Suzhou rolled his eyes at him, propped himself up and got out of bed.
Yan Jue sat up after him, tilted her head and called him behind her back.
"Brother, can you wait for me in the yard today?"
Qin Suzhou tied on his outer robe, turned his head and frowned, "What are you doing?"
"Uh, it's just—" Yan Jue scratched his head, "There are a lot of whirling fruits that are suitable for recovery near the Holy Pavilion, I want to cook some pastries for you to try at night, so as to help you recover your spirit base quickly. "
"Are you going to cook?" Qin Suzhou looked him up and down suspiciously, "Are you going to cook or you?"
"I've practiced!" Yan Jue jumped off the bed blushing, "I won't blow up the kitchen like before!"
He still wanted to refute a few more words, and Qingshan came to knock on the door to urge people.Yan Jue quickly figured out a trick to tidy herself up, repeatedly told him to wait for him to come back, and then left reluctantly.
Qin Suzhou watched his back with a funny face. He had nothing to do during the day, so he just waited. After all, he also wanted to know what kind of tricks the person who could heat up a bowl of porridge as hot as gunpowder could come up with. .
He jumped up to the top of the peach tree, leaning on the branch with his legs crossed, watching the clouds and clouds in the sky, and hummed a little tune in a good mood.
It was rare that the ears were so quiet, Yan Jue was not there, and Wen Ruan was not there either.
The little tune stopped abruptly.
It seems a little too quiet, even the whirling wind and birdsong in the past have disappeared.
Qin Suzhou narrowed his eyes, twitched a touch of spiritual power in his fingers, reached out to touch the sky.Unsurprisingly, the finger was stopped by a transparent barrier.He straightened up and looked around along the barrier, but he couldn't touch the edge.
Qin Suzhou's heart sank suddenly. He was familiar with spells and knew that this was just the shallowest and lowest barrier, unlike the illusion created by Muyan, and it would not harm the people inside the barrier.
Its function is only to imprison and protect.
Since last night, Yan Jue has been determined to confine him in this square inch.
Qin Suzhou sneered twice, how could such a small formation be so difficult to defeat him?He jumped down from the tree, stretched out a touch of spiritual consciousness, and easily reached the head of the bed where they were sleeping last night. He probably set it up quietly while he was asleep.
And say you're tired?You are very diligent in setting traps!
He mobilized his spiritual power and hit it hard, but he didn't hear the expected sound of the barrier breaking, but instead a familiar fragrance came from the formation.
This...fuck - there are two more traps! ! !
When Qin Suzhou came to his senses, the dizziness had already overwhelmed his brain in an instant. Before he was given time to react, his body couldn't support himself, and he fell on the soft bed.
……
"The purpose of convening everyone today must be clear to everyone at a glance."
Dozens of corpses were neatly lined up in the vast arena. In addition to the Guan Jing and Loulanbao disciples who died the day before, there were also more than a dozen Tubo Shuangchuanling disciples, but their leader Lin Yueting was nowhere to be found.
The causes of death of these corpses are almost the same, they were all killed by the poison stabbed into the neck in their sleep, it seems that one person did it.
Wulan stood in front of the martial arts arena, looking regretfully at the silent crowd in front of him, "Yesterday, my seat and the leaders of the four courts tried to solve the cause of the death of Loulan Castle's disciples. Everyone should know the news. It was all done by Taoyuan."
"As for the disciple of Shuangchuanling who was murdered last night, I ordered my disciples to search overnight, and also found the token of Taoyuan on the body." Wu Lan winked at the disciple beside him, and the person presented the tray with a tray in his hand. He came up and placed the blood-stained peach talisman in front of everyone.
Wulan took a deep breath, her eyes were red behind the mask, she gritted her teeth and said, "Taoyuan is unforgivable!"
Hearing this, Wen Ruan quietly tugged on the corner of La Yanjue's clothes.
"Brother, is it because of the matter of the first sage that the new sage has such great hostility towards Taoyuan?"
Yan Jue nodded, sighed and said in a low voice, "When the saint left, his remains... can almost be said to be unsightly."
In the early years, Taoyuan was just doing things with money like other assassin organizations, and no one took it seriously. Who knows that it has grown suddenly in the past two years, and it has continuously started to target Shengge and Siting.The former master of the Holy Pavilion once threatened to suppress the arrogance of this organization, but within a month after his bold words were released, he was nailed to the hanging beam with an iron nail, and his eyeballs were gouged out and thrown on the ground, trampling them to pieces.
"So far, the top priority is to find Lord Lin Ling first. She has strong spells and may have survived the Taoyuan attack last night." Xin Shenglang said.
Two of the four courts have been victimized. Everyone in the cultivation world is in danger, but for a while there is less intrigue, and it is rare to have a unified enemy.Called by Xinsheng, everyone scattered to collect information about Lin Yueting or Taoyuan.
"Mr. Yan," Wu Lan walked towards Yan Jue suddenly, "May I ask if Qin Suzhou can stay with you?"
"He's in the yard." Yan Jue replied.
"Right now there is a rumor among the monks that Qin Suzhou met the disciples of Loulan Castle the night before yesterday when they were killed." Wulan whispered, "This matter..."
"He's been with me all the time." Yan Jue interrupted him.
"This is the best." Wulan's cold laughter came from behind the mask, and she walked away with her hands behind her back.
"The yin and yang are weird." Wen Ruan made a face at his back, "If you have the ability to take off the mask and show your true colors!"
"It won't come off." Yan Jue patted her on the head lightly.
"Why?" Wen Ruan asked strangely, and the green hills and green waters on the side seemed to have gossip, so they immediately came over with good intentions.
"Xiansheng once said in a meeting with Siting that I happened to hear it at the side of the lord," Yan Jue lowered his voice, "Xiansheng, that is, his master put it on him to punish him. mask."
"He burned his face with fire, and glued the mask on while the wound was not healed. When the wound healed, the face and the mask grew together."
"Varied--"
"Shh." Yan Jue covered Wen Ruan's wide mouth with his hands, "The exact reason for the punishment, I won't say anything more about the Xiansheng."
……
As expected, there was nothing to gain all day.After all, if it was so easy to show his feet, Taoyuan wouldn't have been domineering in the cultivation world for so long.
When Yan Jue was searching, he quietly slipped to the back mountain to pick the whirling fruit. When he went back under the setting sun, he found nothing, but went back with the whirling fruit full of sleeves.
The enchantment in the yard was passive and the mist was activated. Yan Jue went into the room and looked at Qin Suzhou. After calculating the time, he should be able to wake up when he was ready to eat.
"Qingshan, help me roll the noodles." Yan Jue stood in the yard and ordered, "Qingshui, wash these whirling fruits."
Qingshanqingshui agreed, but Wen Ruan was not happy about it.
"This is to make wontons, right? Why don't you call me to help, you two big men can do a good job with me?"
"Senior Sister, we didn't say that you are really not good at this job." Qing Shui walked past her holding the Posuo fruit, "This is for Qin Suzhou to eat, senior brother is afraid that you will smash the kitchen."
"...I won't smash the kitchen," Wen Ruan snapped her knuckles, "I will mix poison."
Qing Sailor slipped and almost smashed his handful of Posuo Fruits to the ground.
……
As the saying goes, you can avoid the first day of the junior high school but not the fifteenth day. You will only be late for the matter of frying the kitchen, and you will not be absent.
When Yan Jue was cooking his shapeless wontons, he slipped a hand and added a spoonful of oil to the bottom of the pot. As soon as the Qingshan water was poured, the whole room was sputtered and screamed, and Wen Ruan, who was sitting in the yard dozing, was frightened. Bounced up and rushed in to help.
In view of Yan Jue's poor craftsmanship and the fact that the dumplings were leaking, Wen Ruan suggested that they simply steam the wontons instead, and only then did they make a decent plate without any problems.
"It looks pretty good." Qingshan's chubby face leaned in front of the plate of steamed wontons, "This one looks like a rabbit, and this one looks like a tiger."
"Stay away from him, and remember to eat all day long. You still eat after such a handful of meat." Yan Jue moved the wonton aside preciously.
Wen Ruan couldn't bear to look directly and covered her eyes. Just such weird wontons with a dozen different shapes are still treasures. If it wasn't for Yan Jue's bag, who would want it!
There was a lively commotion in front of the stove, but no one noticed a black shadow silently leaning against the door frame of the kitchen, covering most of the setting sun pouring into the room.
"Speaking of you—it's quite lively, isn't it?"
