Hei Yun learned the mystery about his life experience from Xia Qiu, and after expressing his attitude, he returned to the barren mountains north of the Demon Realm King's City. In fact, there is not only one labyrinth that leads to the two growth corridors that connect the human world and the demon world. In addition to the labyrinth that leads to Ouyang's ancient house, there are several other paths.
One of them is often used by Qingyun and his group. This mysterious path is hidden somewhere in the Yongchuan Forest. The seal that Ouyang Hongye placed around Yongchuan Forest was of no avail to a monster of Hei Yun's level. In order to fulfill the orders given by Qingyun, he has come to the human world through this confusing path more than once, but this time, although he was not ordered by him, it is undoubtedly the most meaningful.
He decided to atone for his sins and wanted to protect the human girl Xia Qiu who told him the truth regardless of past suspicions. But before that, there were still some problems that needed to be solved urgently, including the traitor hidden in the royal city. Although he was not the one who met this person directly in the past, he knew that after he expressed his feelings to Xia Qiu, Demon King Fox and others would soon ask him about the traitor.
As far as he knew, the traitor had recently begun to listen less to Qingyun, and he obviously wanted to break away from them. Naturally, Qingyun would not let go of this trump card easily. He had always been good at using other people's weaknesses to achieve his own goals, and this person's weaknesses were so obvious. Her weakness was her daughter, so he sent someone to give her daughter a poison that was extremely difficult to cure, and used this to continue to control her.
Hei Yun has always found it difficult to understand this person who betrayed Wang Cheng, because her husband died in the battle with Qingyun just to protect Wang Cheng. It stands to reason that she should hate Qingyun to the bone, but she would rather betray Wang Cheng. Continuing to help Qingyun made him unable to understand it anyway.
When he learned about the efforts made by his parents and fellow tribesmen for him, he suddenly felt that he could not afford it. He wanted to commit suicide, but Xia Qiu gave him a chance, so he wanted to give this person a chance as well. He wanted to talk to this person in person, on the one hand to answer the confusion in his heart, and on the other hand, to persuade her to admit her crime to the Demon King Fox and others.
He was very familiar with the terrain in the royal city, which naturally included the person's address. It didn't take much effort for him to find the location of Wutongju. However, the door of Wutong Residence was locked. He knocked on the door many times but got no response. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a girl's sweet voice came from inside.
"who?"
"Ah, I'm here to see Miao Xueyou!" Hei Yun responded.
The door was opened quickly, and it was Little Snow Rabbit who opened the door. She stared blankly at the tall man wearing a cloak in front of her. More than half of the man's face was hidden in the hat attached to the cloak, with only his eyes and part of his forehead exposed. She asked in surprise: "Who are you?"
"Have you recovered?" Hei Yun immediately guessed that she was Miao Xueyou's daughter. He was happy from the bottom of his heart when he saw that the medicine he gave Mochi Yue had an effect.
"Do you know about my poisoning?" Little Snow Rabbit blinked and asked, thinking that since this person knew about her poisoning, he must be very familiar with his mother. But in her impression, her mother seemed to have little contact with other people, but she still let Mochizuki into the yard, "Please come in! My mother is helping me boil medicine. Please sit down and I'll go there right away." call her!"
Mochizuki was led into the hall and sat down. He was somewhat uncomfortable sitting formally in someone else's home like this, and his body seemed a bit stiff. But just as he sat down, Miao Xueyou rushed in in a panic. When Little Snow Bunny said that a strange man came to see her, her first reaction was that it was Yasha.
In order to prevent her daughter from hearing their conversation, she ordered her before going to the hall: "Snow Rabbit, go back to your room first, and don't come out yet!"
She only had a one-time relationship with Hei Yun. In the past, it was Yasha who asked her for information or conveyed Qingyun's instructions, so she found it strange that someone else came this time, so she asked: "How could it be you?" ?!”
"My coming here this time has nothing to do with Qingyun!" Hei Yun sensed Miao Xueyou's obvious resistance and hurriedly stated his position first.
"Oh?" Miao Xueyou raised her eyebrows with a suspicious look on her face.
Hei Yun continued: "For some reason, I owe the demon king fox's human blood alliance a great favor. Of course, it is also to atone for the crimes I committed, so I decided to serve her..."
Miao Xueyou interrupted him. She was trembling with nervousness and asked: "That little girl? So what? You have already told me about me?!"
"Not yet!" Hei Yun looked up at Miao Xueyou and saw her taking a deep breath, "They will eventually ask me about the traitor in the royal city, but before that I have some questions I want to ask you. .”
"You don't need to say anything. If you want to take credit for reporting me, you can go ahead and report me. My daughter and I will leave the royal city right now and go to a place where they can't find us, and we will never come back again." Miao Xue Yuu said with a lot of sweat on his forehead.
"Even if the people in the royal city can't find you, do you think you will be safe? Qingyun will not let you go. Even if you hide in the ends of the earth, he will find you. Staying in the royal city will be a good thing for you. It's the safest." Hei Yun's words are no exaggeration, because he knows the importance of Miao Xueyou to Qingyun, and he knows even more how cold-blooded Qingyun is.
"You want me to be caught without mercy?! I was also involved in that incident sixteen years ago. Do you think the people in the royal city will let me go? There is no way I can escape anyway." Miao Xueyou became more and more emotional. Excited, he shouted regardless.
"If I were you, I would rather stay in the royal city. At least here, your daughter will be much less threatened. Last time, Qingyun just poisoned her and did not kill her immediately. It may not be possible later. It will be like this.”
At the mention of Little Snow Rabbit, Miao Xueyou's aura suddenly softened, and she said with an indifferent expression: "I have been a walking zombie for a long time. Ever since I chose to embark on this path, life and death have made no difference to me. . I just can’t let go of her, and now it’s time to let go.”
"You want to escape alone?" Hei Yun vaguely heard what Miao Xueyou meant.
"What else can I do?" Miao Xueyou asked him.
"Once the truth is revealed, your daughter will definitely be in great pain. I have never understood why you would seek refuge in Qingyun?"
For many years, Miao Xueyou has kept the past in her heart and often cannot sleep because once she falls asleep, she will probably dream of her husband Tingyue. She locked up everything about him, even the cups and tableware he used, but even so, she would often see his shadow appearing in this old house. This feeling made her collapse, but she couldn't tell anyone. When she took the wrong first step in her obsession, there was no room for turning back and she could only let herself continue to make mistakes.
She thought that the past events were also locked up together with her husband's belongings, but now they all came to her mind and stung her heart deeply. She slumped down in her chair, biting her nails, not knowing what to do.
Hei Yun saw her embarrassment and knew that he might not get the answer, so he decided to leave and said to her: "I won't tell others about you for the time being. You may need some time to think about it." clear."
Miao Xueyou didn't speak, just nodded silently.
Hei Yun stood up and just opened the door to the living room, only to find a petite figure standing blankly outside the door. He and Miao Xueyu didn't notice when Little Snow Rabbit started eavesdropping on their conversation, and they didn't know how much she heard.
"Xuetu, didn't I ask you to go back to your room?!" Miao Xueyou jumped up from the chair and asked.
The little snow rabbit took a few steps back and ran out of the courtyard without looking back.
"Snow Rabbit, Snow Rabbit!" Miao Xueyou shouted her name and chased after her.
But in just a blink of an eye, the snow rabbit disappeared. Miao Xueyou could never forget the look on her daughter's face as she walked back toward the courtyard door. In addition to shock and complaint, her face was filled with strangeness, as if she suddenly became someone she didn't recognize.
And this is exactly what Little Snow Rabbit feels at this moment. She actually doesn't understand her mother who has been dependent on her for sixteen years at all. It turns out that the conversations she heard between her mother and strangers while she was dying were all true. Not only that, her mother was also related to the death of her father and Ouyang Xiaoleng's parents. How should she accept this
Her whole body was surrounded by fear, and she felt that the whole world was no longer trustworthy. If there was anyone else who made her want to take refuge, it might be her uncle Wang Yue. But she knew that she couldn't go to him, because doing so would be tantamount to abandoning her mother completely. Even if her mother was a traitor to the royal city, even if she became a heinous person, she could not let go of her feelings with her, but that The emotions have become too complicated, too complicated for her little girl to bear. She had no choice but to run away, wherever she went, and ignore these grudges for the time being.
Miao Xueyou returned to Wutong Residence in despair. She knew that if Xuetu deliberately avoided her, she would not be able to find her with her own strength. She must ask Ouyang Yong and Wangyue for help. But before that, she had one more thing to do, which was to confess to them all the mistakes she had made. Snow Rabbit is simple by nature, wandering alone may soon be poisoned by Qingyun. No matter how selfish she was, it was nothing compared to her daughter's safety.
Heiyu didn't expect Snow Rabbit to hear their conversation. When he saw Miao Xueyou coming back alone, her face was pale, her eyes were lifeless, and her arms were hanging weakly, so he advised her: "I will stay outside the city with the wolves. I'll help you find her! I didn't expect it... I'm sorry!"
"It's my own problem. I always thought that I loved her more than anyone else. In fact, I was just lying to myself. It was me who killed her father. I was sorry for her. She will never forgive me again... But these are not important, as long as she can be safe! I will confess everything to Elder Yong now, and ask him to protect the snow rabbit for the sake of Ting Yue!" Miao Xueyou said incoherently, shaking her head.
