Lu Mingshu knew that a person could have many sides. But she didn't expect that the Xie Lianzhen that Wei Chunqiu said would look like this.
When they first met in the alley, swords were drawn between them, she thought that their relationship was very bad!
"But," after a while, she thought of something to say, "Even so, he still has to heal his leg!"
"There's no need for treatment, his legs won't heal at all."
Can it be cured? The medical skills in this world may not be able to cure it, but she asked Sixth Brother specifically, in some worlds with higher ability levels, even severed limbs can be regenerated.
"How do you know it won't work if you haven't tried it, I..."
Wei Chunqiu sighed and interrupted her: "His legs are fine at all."
Lu Mingshu was stunned for a moment. no problem? Then why did he...
"That year, Master Yan's uncle came back seriously injured and passed away not long after. The elixir he brought back healed Junior Xie's leg. But it was useless. Not only did he fail to stand up, he also fell seriously ill. Uncle Zhang said that his illness is in his heart, and if the illness in his heart is not cured, his legs will never be healed."
Wei Chunqiu looked at her: "Now you know, right? Master Yan's death is a stubborn illness in his heart, a taboo that must never be touched."
"No wonder..." He said that he hoped no one would sacrifice for him, is that what he meant
"Actually, when Grand Master Yan was still alive, although he was flawed, he was optimistic and cheerful. Even if he was laughed at by others, he could laugh it off. He couldn't practice martial arts like us, and he didn't give up on himself. He has been practicing diligently. Others It is said that his realm was created by the concubine with elixir, which can only be heard half. Without legs, the progress of cultivation is of course not as fast as ours. In order to make up for his shortcomings, he practiced hard with his hands, and he suffered a lot. How much suffering, it is not enough for outsiders to understand."
"Then he..." How did it become like this
"Uncle Yan passed away, and everything changed. He was too young at that time, and his legs were broken for too long. Whether he can enter the trance state in the future is a problem. The suzerains and elders do not want him to succeed Lian Zhenxing. Choose one of the disciples of Master Yan's uncle. However, the concubine insisted on letting him succeed, and the abilities of those master uncles are really... He recovered from his illness, and only then did he know that he has become Lord Lianzhen."
This is "don't have to do what you don't like"
"In the past, he was sick with his legs, but later, his heart was sick. The smile on his face became more and more false, and his scheming became deeper and deeper. He often shut himself up and ignored him. No one knew what he was thinking in his heart. What, it’s as if there is nothing in this world that he cares about, and he doesn’t even care about himself.” Wei Chunqiu smiled self-deprecatingly, “I wanted to save him at the time, but I turned my back completely. You don’t know that he is sarcastic Come on, how poisonous the mouth is, I don't want to quarrel with him in my life."
So, when they met, the atmosphere would be so tense
"But you still care about him in your heart?"
Wei Chunqiu sighed silently: "Maybe it's because I'm too disappointed in myself? A junior who was once so close treated me like a big brother, but I didn't help him when he was in the most difficult time. Watching him slide into the abyss and become what he is today."
Lu Mingshu wanted to say something, but felt that no words could express his feelings.
After a while, she said, "Even if it's a heart disease, it can be cured, right?"
"We used to think the same way." Wei Chunqiu said softly, "However, in the past twelve years, his illness has not only not recovered, but has become worse day by day. Sometimes I am afraid that something will happen to him suddenly. It would be great if Uncle Xie is still here..."
"Uncle Xie, what you said is..."
"Junior Brother Xie's father." Wei Chunqiu said indifferently, "He is the direct disciple of Master Yan's uncle. If there is no accident, the person named Xie Lianzhen should be him."
"..." Lu Mingshu looked up, "Can I ask a question?"
Wei Chunqiu nodded: "Just ask."
"Senior Xie, how did he die? And him and the concubine... Xie Lianzhen became what he is today, and Senior Yan's unexpected death should be just an opportunity. Maybe he was already deeply stimulated before..."
"I don't know exactly what happened, I only know that Uncle Xie died in Yinshan."
"Yin Mountain?" Lu Mingshu was taken aback. After passing Yin Mountain, it was the territory of the barbarians. Could it be that the death of Xie Lianzhen's father was related to the barbarians? The princess invited the barbarians to come to Zhongzhou...
It always feels like things are more complicated.
"I missed everything today." Wei Chunqiu smiled helplessly, hesitated for a moment, and continued, "Junior Brother Xie is not a sinister person, and I hope that Miss Lu... will be merciful."
These words earned Lu Mingshu a wry smile. What kind of love does she have left? Shouldn't Xie Lianzhen be asked to let her go
"Miss Lu, are you in a difficult situation?" Wei Chunqiu looked at her expression and asked.
Lu Mingshu sighed silently, took out the string of mysterious water beads given by the princess from the mustard pouch, and waved it in front of him.
Wei Chunqiu understood.
Of course, he would not think that Xie Lianzhen was not good enough for her, or that she was not good enough for Xie Lianzhen, like everyone else. However, having fought side by side, he understood that she was unwilling to be a tool in the hands of others.
"It's very difficult." He said, "The concubine is responsive to his every request. No one can help you unless Junior Brother Xie gives up his mind."
Lu Mingshu was a little annoyed: "Aren't they afraid that I will do something with hatred in my heart?"
Wei Chunqiu laughed: "What can you do? It's not good for Junior Brother Xie? Then can you beat me?"
Lu Mingshu didn't understand what he meant.
"If you can't win me, you can't win him. He is bad at acting, but he is definitely not the trash in others' mouths."
Lu Mingshu never regarded Xie Lianzhen as a waste. Back in the alley, County Lord Jiayan activated the self-defense treasure, Yu Kuang blocked it with his sword, but returned in vain, Xie Lianzhen made a move, broke the fist seal, and then Wei Chunqiu helped in time, eliminating the crisis invisible. This is enough to show that even if his strength is not as good as Wei Chunqiu's, at least he surpasses Yu Kuang.
"Besides, the princess won't give you a chance. You still have someone you care about in Jiuyao Palace, right?"
Lu Mingshu's face suddenly changed color.
After a while, she breathed slowly and steadily, and asked in a low voice: "Could it be, is there really no other way?"
"Perhaps there is a way."
Lu Mingshu raised his head and looked at her.
Wei Chunqiu said softly: "There is a senior in Huawujing who is willing to take the risk of offending the king of Zhongzhou to help you."
"..." Lu Mingshu moved the corner of his mouth.
Chemical environment? Where can she find a senior in the transformation realm to help her? Seeing the friendship of the previous generation, Zhuo Jiangui was willing to give her a hand, but this matter involved the king of Zhongzhou, and she didn't have the confidence to drag Liu Lin into the water.
"You... ask yourself to be blessed." Wei Chunqiu reached out and patted her on the shoulder, shook his head, sighed, and left.
Lu Mingshu stood silently for a while, then returned to the room in a daze.
That night, she barely slept, just lying on the bed like that, with her eyes open until dawn.
