[Lu Xiaofeng] Blindness

Chapter 38 Rumors

"Knock knock--"

"Who is it?" Sun Xiuqing frowned slightly. Only Ximen Chuuxue knew her whereabouts. It was so late, how could someone else come over.

She stood up, picked up the sword that was on the table, and opened the door.

What she saw in front of her was a man in black with a pale face, who fell over. Sun Xiuqing was taken aback, and immediately put the sword across the man's neck.

"help me……"

The man quickly fainted, Sun Xiuqing hesitated for a moment, stepped forward to check the other's wound, it seemed that he had been poisoned, she hesitated and took out the detoxification pill that Ximen Chuuxue gave her.

This man was able to find this place, isn't it a coincidence? She had to get some news from him.

After midnight, the man finally woke up.

"Thank you girl for saving me."

Sun Xiuqing nodded coldly.

"who are you?"

"An unknown person." The man sighed, and then said to Sun Xiuqing: "I am being hunted down right now. In order not to hurt the girl, I hope you can help me find a friend of mine on the boat."

"In return, I am willing to give this love gu to the girl."

"Love Gu?"

Russell smiled, "I'm from southern Xinjiang. This love voodoo is a unique voodoo poison in the Southern Witch Cult. It can make people fall in love with you easily. If a girl..." He lowered his voice.

"Those who have aspirations but can't get it, might as well give it a try."

Sun Xiuqing's expression changed slightly, and she suddenly drew out her sword: "Who sent you here!"

Russell looked stunned: "Why did you say that, girl, if you don't like this thing as a reward, I can give you other things, gold, silver and jewelry, you just need to be frank."

Sun Xiuqing's face changed several times, bit her lip and said, "Are you really from Southern Xinjiang?"

Ximen Chuuxue has never been very interested in the bustling scene, what's more, it's almost midnight at this time, and the sounds of men having fun are everywhere.

He asked people to turn the bow of the boat, ready to go back and forth.

But before swimming far, the boatman outside came in and said, "There is a girl who wants to see you, my lord."

Ximen Chuuxue's thin lips parted slightly, and he said coldly, "I don't see you."

The boatman had a look of embarrassment on his face.

Suddenly, a clear and sweet female voice came from outside the boat: "Four years apart, Mr. Ximen is still the same."

She smiled and said Yiyi, raised the corner of her skirt, and bowed to Ximen Chuixue across the boat: "But thank you for the flute just now, my lord."

"Not for you."

Ximen Chuuxue said so directly, Ling Youyou just smiled.

"Even so, Youyou still has to thank Young Master."

At this time, Ye Gucheng, who had been silent until now, turned his head and glanced at Ling Youyou.

"Is there anything else, girl?"

Ling Youyou covered her lips and let out a coquettish smile: "Does the city lord also feel that Youyou has disturbed the interest of the two of you?"

Ye Gucheng didn't answer, but his eyes were clear and cold.

"Then Youyou will bid farewell."

When the flower boat went far away, Ximen Chuuxue didn't figure out what Ling Youyou meant, was he just making fun of himself?

The rain stopped and the moon came out again.

Ling Youyou turned around and smiled at Sun Xiuqing: "Thank you for saving me, that person is indeed a good friend of mine."

Sun Xiuqing looked at the boats in the distance and hesitated to speak: "Are Miss Youyou and that Ximen Chuuxue old acquaintances?"

"I have met several times."

"That man is now in an inn in the east of the city." After Sun Xiuqing finished speaking, she turned around and left lonely without asking any more questions.

A few days later, Ximen Chuuxue was sorting out letters when someone knocked on the door suddenly.

He raised his eyes and saw that it was Sun Xiuqing.

She was carrying a bag behind her back and had two swords on her waist, as if she had come to say goodbye.

"Ximen Chuuxue." Sun Xiuqing said softly, "I've come to bid you farewell. I'm going to say goodbye. Maybe we will never see each other again in the future."

The white-clothed swordsman stared at her for a while, then slowly said: "If there is any trouble in the future, you can send someone to Wanmei Villa."

Sun Xiuqing forced a smile: "Thank you, I also have something here for you."

"Oh?"

The two sat opposite each other in front of the window, and Sun Xiuqing took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom, and recounted what happened a few days ago.

Ximen Chuuxue opened the bottle, staring at the bright red liquid that seemed to be flowing inside.

"Love Gu?"

"That's right, according to that person, this love gu can make the victim fall in love with the person they see at first sight, regardless of gender." When Sun Xiuqing said this, his expression was slightly complicated.

It's not that she has hesitated, but she would rather not have this kind of false love.

Ximen Fuxue looked at her deeply for a long time, "It's interesting."

After such a long time, there are still people who are so unwilling to give up, Ximen Chuuxue can guess the identity of the person who did it without thinking, he nodded to Sun Xiuqing.

"I see."

Sun Xiuqing already wanted to leave, but before leaving, she couldn't help but want to ask a question.

"Ximen Chuixue."

"kindness?"

"If I really die that day, will you remember me?"

Ximen Chuuxue was silent for a while, then said, "Yes."

Sun Xiuqing showed him a very beautiful smile, with unspeakable relief and lightness.

"That's enough."

Ximen Chuuxue still didn't understand, he poured himself a cup of tea, the hot steam blurred his vision.

He asked her, "Is it worth it?"

Sun Xiuqing stroked the teacup and was absorbed: "There is nothing worth it or not, it just depends on whether you want it or not."

"There is always no reason to like someone. At least I have tried my best, so I won't have any regrets."

Ximen Chuuxue's eyes revealed a thoughtful look.

"Willingly, life and death don't matter?"

Sun Xiuqing nodded.

"If one day, you meet someone, you are willing to care about life and death for her regardless of the reason, and everything in the world in your heart is not worth her overnight happiness, then... you like it."

Ximen Chuuxue lowered his eyes: "I'm only obsessed with the sword."

Sun Xiuqing smiled noncommittally, she got up and bowed, and since then she has disappeared from all corners of the world.

Ximen Chuuxue sat in front of the bed, wiping the edge of the sword over and over again.

He felt a little confused, but he didn't know why, he felt a strange feeling overflowing from his heart for no reason, but he still didn't understand why?

——Happy when you see it, life and death are unforgettable.

Has he ever met such a person?

Ye Gucheng knocked on the door, and when he pushed it open to enter, he saw Ximen Chuuxue looking at him with a very strange look.

He subconsciously asked, "What happened?"

Ximen Chuuxue didn't know what to say.

Seeing that the other party was silent, Ye Gucheng had no choice but to tell his reason for coming first.

"I have to go."

"kindness?"

"A letter from Yun Shu, something happened in the city, and I need to go back and deal with it."

Ximen Fuxue nodded: "I'll see you off."

He spoke naturally, but Ye Gucheng felt that compared with the past, there seemed to be more things that he couldn't explain clearly.

This time was probably the most regrettable of their many separations.

Ye Gucheng didn't know that he was once so close to Ximen Chuuxue's heart, so close that it seemed that there was only a thin layer of window paper between him, and if he opened it, there would be no more blood and pain in the future.

Ximen Chuuxue went back to Wanmei Villa to retreat for half a month, but he still couldn't figure it out.

At this moment, Lu Xiaofeng approached the door with an anxious expression on his face.

"Ximen Chuuxue, something happened, something big happened!"

The man raised his eyes and glanced coldly, his expression calm and composed.

"What trouble did you get into again?"

Lu Xiaofeng returned with an indescribably strange look.

"This time it's not me, but you."

"Do you know what's going on in the rivers and lakes during this time?"

"what?"

Lu Xiaofeng gritted his teeth, with a heroic look on his face: "They say you and Ye Gucheng..."

In Baiyun City.

Everyone was silent, and Yun Shu looked at everyone present with a cold face.

"Check! Find out for me, who is this rumor and where did it spread!"

She had a high bun, and her hair swayed slightly, showing that the master was not calm. This was the first time Yun Shu appeared so angry that he lost his composure.

Because although this matter is not related to life and death, it is enough to ruin the reputation of their city lord.

There are absolutely no fewer people in the world who blindly follow the crowd, not to mention whether this matter is true or false, it is enough to become a talking point for some good people for at least a few months.

They can't wait like flies that smell blood, because they can comment on the existence that can only be looked up to by all living beings, and this alone is the best reason.

Yun Shu understood this, so she knew how sinister the person who spread the rumor was.

It's a pity that Baiyun City's influence in the Central Plains is really mediocre. If you really want to know the specific situation, I'm afraid you still have to rely on the Nanwang Mansion.

It's just that this year, Baiyun City has a faint tendency to draw a clear line with the Nanwang Mansion. Yun Shu is still hesitating, but hears exclamations from outside.

"Meet the mayor."

Ye Gucheng walked into the meeting room and scanned everyone for a moment.

"Yun Shu."

"exist."

"I already know the matter, for the time being...don't worry about it."

"City Master!" Several voices clearly disapproved.

Ye Gucheng said coldly: "I have made up my mind."

Among the restaurants and teahouses, there are never a few high-spirited talkers, but this time the protagonists have changed to two people, two swordsmen who are usually mentioned without showing fear and fear.

However, this time, whether it is the narrator or the audience, the eyes are full of interest and malice. From a moral point of view, there are definitely not many opportunities to criticize those two people who are so high and almost deified.

"You guys have heard, too, that the Lord of Baiyun City and Ximen Chuuxue of Wanmei Villa, two famous swordsmen in the rivers and lakes, are actually hanging out on the Qinhuai painting boat."

"Under the bright sky, these two men are both men, and they actually did such a thing, tsk tsk, it's just absurd!"

"That's right, thanks to the fact that I used to think that the Lord of Baiyun City was so lonely and peerless that it was hard to find in the world, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that."

"This kind of thing is thanks to them!"

"This, this is probably impossible!" One person said.

"How is it impossible, haven't you heard? It's on the Qinhuai River, and several girls on the boat saw it with their own eyes. How can it be fake?"

Ximen Chuuxue closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again, the cold light in his eyes was like the wind and snow in the cold sky.

"Ximen Chuuxue, where are you going? Hey, wait for me!"

The author has something to say: In fact, I am also very wronged, the parties have not confessed their love, and suddenly...

Thank you Xuan Su mine
