After Xia Wuyin escaped from her hand, she returned to the Chu family alone.
At that time, she felt that she had to do something.
Anything is fine.
Take everything back, or forget it.
Forget the soft temperature of that person's body, and the tender and helpless eyes when she looked at her.
After a long time, she felt that she might not be able to forget it.
I can't forget that time, when her hands were wrapped around her chains, but there was another person in her eyes.
Heart ashes, but that's all.
With the help of Hundred Ghost Caves, she numbly took revenge on the family, watching her sister devastated by her secret actions, and watching her father become terminally ill step by step.
She is now the young master of the Hundred Ghosts Cave.
Her mother was not only a famous family, she was also the head of the Hundred Ghost Caves, so her mother knew exactly what her father did outside.
After her mother's death, she was found by the people of Baigui Cave and asked her to be the young master.
But at that time, because as soon as she came into contact with everything about her mother, she would think of that time... the feeling of blood sticking to her hands, sticky feeling.
Disgusting.
She ruthlessly rejected their request, then went on the road alone and met her brother.
All that happened.
Later, her brother left, and she was taken back to the family, and then she searched for news about her brother like crazy.
She even agreed to the request, inherited everything from her mother, and became the young master of the Hundred Ghost Caves that she did not want to be.
For countless nights, she felt the smell of blood lingering all over her body - she was not really afraid of blood, she just couldn't forget the feeling of being rejected by everyone a long time ago.
Whenever that time, she would hide in the corner, holding the horned dragon jade, desperately cherishing the feeling of her brother.
That was her only consolation.
- She knows that there are still people who love her in this world.
So she desperately went to find her.
However, she didn't know what she looked like or her real name. She searched for him thousands of times in the crowd. Rao was a ghost cave with vast magical powers, and it was difficult to find a drop in the ocean in her heart.
Just can't think of it...
Thinking of everything that happened at Lingxi Peak, Chu Yi felt like she was in a dream.
She didn't know if she was sad or dazed.
She closed her eyes to stop herself from thinking about it.
...it doesn't make sense anymore.
Soon, she will be able to take over the family.
Intentionally or not, after returning from Lingxi Peak, she refused to pass on the news about Lingxi Peak to Baigui Cave.
Now I hear this unfamiliar and familiar name again.
Xia Wuyin.
She got stuck in the mud and couldn't get out.
She felt the same, felt pain for her, but vaguely felt a secret pleasure.
… if with me.
I will definitely protect you well.
Look... your choice is wrong, and there is no way for someone you love to protect you.
In my words, I won't let you be like this.
If it were me...
I will definitely not hurt anyone, so I will tear up the mouths of those who speak ill of you, making them unable to speak for the rest of their lives.
The girl's slender and slender fingers slowly tapped on the meteor dagger, "So, now she has gone to the Demon Sect..."
"It is rumored that he has an affair with the Demon Sect leader Su Tan, so he hurt his senior sister Gu Peijiu." The male voice said again.
Chu Yi sneered, "Are you joking?"
Thousands of miles away, hundreds of ghost caves.
The man held the message, and his eyebrows wrinkled slightly. It was the critical moment when the Chu family seized power. He couldn't let the young master be distracted by other things.
"...I don't know if it's true or false." The man thought for a while and then whispered, "But according to the secret letter from the Hundred Ghost Cave... Xia Wuyin summoned the evil ghost to refine the Wanhun Pill to save Gu Peijiu. This time he joined the Demon Sect. It is also the antidote to ask Su Lean to save Gu Peijiu."
The smile at the corner of Chu Yi's lips stiffened slightly, and it became cold for a moment.
The dagger in his hand suddenly slipped and fell to the ground with a "bang".
"… "
Gu Peijiu.
"She really loves this person."
After a long time, Chu Yi's voice was low, "Love to the point of ruin, covered in mud, it's touching."
"… "
Chu Yi slowly raised his mindless eyes, his voice indifferent.
"Why do you say no one loves me so much?"
The male voice was silent for a while, then began to make plans again, "If the young master..."
"She's always so likable." Chu Yi suddenly interrupted him, "Also, she likes others too."
"I heard that my sister also likes her very much." She stood up slowly, the layered clothes slid down like water, and the blood-stained lotus flower was blocked by the folds of the clothes, as if this could hide her hurt heart, and no one could see it.
"...It has nothing to do with me." She said in a shallow voice, as if to herself, "I just want to get back what I want."
The male voice hurriedly said: "Chu Zhan is already terminally ill, so there is nothing to be afraid of. The young master can make great plans."
Chu Yi stood in the shadows.
She walked forward slowly, her snow-white toes stepped on the meteor dagger, and her white hands tentatively touched the sun.
She can't see.
But I can feel the sun falling on my hands.
She withdrew her hand.
A piece of ice.
There was simply no way to be caught by her.
whatever she likes.
It's all… no way.
…
Chu Yi thought indifferently.
Ants hiding in the dark.
How can you expect the blessing of light
— even if she falls into the dust.
It was the light she couldn't hope for.
Chu Yi turned around and picked up the meteor dagger.
A dagger without a scabbard, the blood is drained.
Barefoot, she took two steps out.
- We are on our way.
- What way
- way of life.
The warm liquid slowly slid down from the corner of his eyes and fell down his cheeks onto the back of his hands.
Like a maple leaf in late autumn.
Withering all over the place.
The girl covered her eyes, tears slid down her fingers and landed on her cold hands, even a little hot.
Although she was angry at the injustice of fate, she never shed a single tear for herself.
She laughed self-deprecatingly.
—Look, Xia Wuyin.
The eyes you gave me, even if they were blind, would only cry for your sorrow.
"Pass my order."
The girl's voice was slightly hoarse.
"Send someone to the Demon Sect to find out the truth... Come back and tell me the current situation."
"Young Master..." The male voice hesitated.
"You don't have to worry about the affairs of the Chu family." Chu Yi chuckled, her tone slightly cold, "You don't need to worry about my affairs."
The male voice froze, "Yes."
= =
Chu Zhan's condition worsened, and Chu Yao took care of most of the affairs of the Chu family. The affairs were busy. When Chu Yao heard the news, the situation was over.
"Bang!"
The jade pot was smashed to the ground in thousands of pieces.
"What did you say?!"
Chu Yao grabbed the old man's collar, looking pale.
Before the old man could answer, she immediately shook her head, "Impossible! She can't do such a thing!"
The old butler hesitated, some did not understand why Chu Yao would be so angry for someone who was not important to Danfeng.
He thought to himself that the eldest young lady was training in Jianfeng at the beginning, and Jianfeng and Danfeng have never been on good terms... It should be that they have nothing to do with Danfeng.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said calmly, "Sorry."
She also knew that for the housekeeper, her reaction was a little too extreme.
The old butler said: "It's okay, but... this is all about Lingxifeng. Miss, the condition of the master is not very good. Don't worry too much."
The implication is that she hopes that she will take care of her body and not worry about these little things that have nothing to do with the pros and cons of the Chu family.
A servant came in and cleaned the broken jade.
"I know..." Chu Yao suppressed her voice, "you step back."
The old butler is gone.
Chu Yao sat in front of the desk, with one hand on her forehead, and the other hand holding the pen clenched tightly.
"Snapped"!
The bamboo pen broke in response, but Chu Yao didn't let go, and the broken part almost sank into the palm of his hand.
Listen to what she just heard
Xia Wuyin... secretly practiced puppet art, disguised herself as a man, colluded with the demon sect, betrayed Lingxi Peak, summoned demons, used demons as materials to refine the Wanhundan in order to advance to the earth rank, and also collaborated with demon sects. Does the priest have a personal relationship
ha
Joke
The young man who specially took her to the City of Nevernight because she was leaving, the young man in the letter, who could be happy for a long time because of the peach blossoms, but also troubled for a long time because he was liked by others...
No, no, it should be... girl.
But how could she do such a thing! !
Chu Yao clenched her fists tightly.
Those just now were the funniest jokes she had ever heard!
What Xia Wuyin said in the letter, who likes her
Why do nothing? !
She got up and was about to find Chu Zhan, but after two steps, she stopped again.
Her father is seriously ill, and at this time she...
Chu Yao took a deep breath and returned to her seat, trying to calm her chaotic brain.
No, Chu Yao, you can't be impulsive. Father, now, you have to... You have to calm down, and you have to think of a way.
Just like this, she sat for a while, and then, as if remembering something, she lowered her eyelashes and pulled out a flat envelope from the bottom of the stack of papers.
The envelope is thin and appears to be unremarkable, but subtle dark lines can be seen when the light is refracted on it.
Inside was the reply letter that she had not sent after she received Xia Wuyin's letter.
I changed it many times, and I threw out an unknown amount of waste paper. After I wrote it, some thought it was too complicated and too simple, and some thought it was too simple and not sincere. Finally, I revised and revised this letter, but I still could not send it out. .
The most satisfying version is hidden here.
The characters she writes are somewhat casual and indulgent, the pen wandering around the dragon, it can be said that she is astonishing, like a wandering dragon, the overall rough atmosphere, but does not appear warm.
Chu Yao took out the letter paper and looked at the elegant handwriting that she had managed to practice for a few days.
- The road is at your feet.
I'm on your side.
Every stroke and every stroke is a tender and freehand brushwork that she hides in her heart, which is hard to tell.
Outside the study, the sun was dim.
Chu Yao slowly looked out the window.
The peach blossoms in Chang'an are in full bloom.
Chu Yao thought.
She kind of misses drinking that pot of bamboo leaves with that person in Danfeng.
In the Chu family, I have followed the rules for too long, and occasionally, I want to be capricious.
otherwise…
Chu Yao put the letter back in the envelope and hid it in the corner.
Living under the light of her ancestors and becoming the direct daughter of the Chu family was not what she wanted. Inheriting the family like this, bearing the unwarranted hatred of her sister, is also not what she wants.
She has too many regrets.
The rest of my life is so long.
She didn't want to make herself regret any more.
= =
The sun sets in the west, and the twilight deepens.
Chu Yao stood in front of Chu Zhan's bed with a light expression.
"Please let my father allow me."
Chu Zhan is far from the tall and imposing manner of middle-aged.
He lay quietly on the bed, his voice was light and hoarse, "Ayao, this is not like you."
Chu Yao said, "Father."
"I have to do it."
Chu Yao paused and whispered.
He looked at Chu Yao and looked at it carefully. Chu Yao was wearing a light blue young master clothes that symbolized the Chu family.
After a while, he sighed.
"Ayao, this family is in your hands."
"If you… "
The sun finally sets.
"not mine."
A thick and deep shadow fell on Chu Yao, dyeing the girl's light brown eyes deeply, she looked at her father, "You know, all this is not mine in the first place."
The family should have been inherited by the first daughter.
The original direct daughter was Chu Yi.
Chu Zhan looked at the daughter who made him proud.
Some gratified, and some tired thinking.
this kid.
From the moment she opened her eyes, she represented the pride of heaven and was different.
Chu Zhan said: "Whether it's yours or not, you've done a good job."
"I will be very relieved to leave the family affairs to you."
Chu Yao said, "Father."
Chu Zhan let out a low sigh again.
The child who grew up with the glory of the King of Chu hoped to break out of his own world by himself. As a result, because of his recall, he returned to the Chu family. Although he handled affairs in an orderly manner, he became more and more calm. But day in and day out, he could see the silence in her eyes, the dream of a young man, like a flickering candle that was dying of illness, which was extinguished as soon as it was blown.
But now.
The sun went down.
But he saw the light of the fire in the child's eyes.
That fire is the blood of a young man.
He couldn't even believe that what he just said would be the words of A Yao, who had always been calm in his eyes.
- "I believe in a person."
- "That person is in prison, and I want to save her back."
- Father, please allow me.
