Chapter 130
Chapter 130
Baili Shun traveled at night, Ji Yun followed closely behind, and told him everything he knew.
At this moment, he wanted to slap himself in the face, but then he thought, if Lin Ruojin refused to forgive him, he would slap her in front of her. She would definitely feel sorry for him, and then he could take the opportunity to explain...
After turning the corridor and passing through a small door just away from Lin Ruojin's room, the voices of a man and a woman floated out from inside.
Outside the cottage, Lin Ruojin took the red date soup brought by Zhenya and invited Zhenya to sit on the stone bench outside the house in a tone as if nothing had happened.
Although Zhenya saw through Lin Ruojin's pretense of being strong, he did not ask her any questions out of concern.
After all, the prey has not yet shown any sign of wanting to be embraced, so the hunter cannot easily put the noose around her neck.
After the two sat down, Lin Ruojin stirred the red date soup.
"Tomorrow night, a fireworks display organized by the government will be held in Luohua Town at the foot of the mountain. Do you want to go and relax together?"
Lin Ruojin frowned and she thought of him again.
"I'm an orphan. Although I want to go, I can only go alone. It's boring. It's better to go with friends to such a lively gathering..." Yuya raised his eyes at the right time and showed a faint smile, "Xiaojin, do you want to go with me?"
"I... don't like crowds, and besides..."
Besides, her master had just passed away. Whenever she thought of her master, Lin Ruojin's heart was filled with grief.
"Really? That's a pity..." Jiya said with disappointment.
Noticing the change in Lin Ruojin's expression, he lowered his head again and sighed softly.
"I'm so abrupt. I've been alone since I was a child and have never been to such a crowded place. Now that I finally have the chance, I'm thinking about it... It's all my fault. Xiaojin, don't mind it. I shouldn't have forced others to do it..."
Lin Ruojin helplessly held the edge of the bowl, looking at the sad man, hesitating for a while before saying: "I...I really appreciate your concern for me. I have indeed encountered a lot of things recently and I am in a bad mood. But if you really want to go, I can..."
"Can't!!!"
A voice filled with resentment interrupted Lin Ruojin's words unexpectedly.
The two were startled by the angry shout and looked towards the direction of the courtyard entrance at the same time.
At the door, Baili Shun's clothes were stained with blood and his face had a gloomy expression. Ji Yun beside him walked up quickly and took away the red date soup that Lin Ruojin was holding in her hand again.
"Oh, it's this unknown young man again. It's not good to rob a girl's things twice!" Zhuya's smile disappeared. He was about to get up, but he was stunned the moment he turned his head.
He didn't see the face of the person at the door just now, but now that the person was approaching step by step, he could see him clearly.
There is no mistake, this person is Baili Shun! Baili Shun, the owner of Tianshui Tower! I met him once a few years ago.
The man who was hugged by a beautiful woman not long ago is now standing here full of energy. Lin Ruojin just finds it funny.
With a dark look in his eyes, he looked at the two people who were looking at each other, and almost instantly guessed the relationship between them.
His clenched fists tightened and unclenched, but in the end he was the first to break the deadlock.
"You came at a great time." Lin Ruojin watched Ji Ya and Ji Yun leave together, the disappointment in her eyes almost overflowing, "But it's also a good time, I was just about to return this thing to you."
After saying that, Lin Ruojin took out the repaired jade bracelet and handed it to Baili Shun with both hands.
The broken part of the jade bracelet has been patched with silver thread. Although the repairmanship is not perfect, it can be seen that the repairman has put in a lot of effort. It is like the icing on the cake, making it more delicate and exquisite.
He didn't want her to pay him back, nor did he want her to not owe him anything! What he wanted was an eternal entanglement.
“Don’t give it back to me!” Baili Shun said in a low voice, holding Lin Ruojin’s hand as if begging, “I remember now. The reason why I called Bi Ruyue’s name was because I saw her when I was fuzzy and asked subconsciously. My heart has only been for you from the beginning to the end!”
Lin Ruojin felt as if she was scalded. She struggled back but after taking two steps, she was pushed against the stone pillar of the pavilion.
A chill came from behind, and Lin Ruojin's heart was panicked for a moment. The two were very close, and their warm breaths entangled with each other. She felt a little embarrassed and turned her head away with a cold face.
"You're bleeding again."
"Don't worry about it, don't worry about it!" Baili Shun's calm tone revealed a hint of urgency, "Don't hate me, it's my fault, I will change..."
"There is nothing about me that is worthy of your persistence. The real you never humbles yourself when facing me."
"If my humility and embarrassment can make you believe in my sincerity, then what does it matter if I am humble or embarrassed? I am willing to do this for you. I know love is hard to come by, so I am willing to be your follower!"
Baili Shun held her cheeks, thinking that she was still holding a grudge against him and that was why she didn't want to look at him, but he didn't expect that Lin Ruojin had tears in her eyes and was full of sadness.
He knew that she was crying not because of his words of love, but he also knew that she was actually expressing her gratitude for the cherishment and love that she had always dreamed of.
No matter how absurd and tortuous the plot is, it is just a mirage described word by word in the world of novels, and there will always be a day when it comes to its end.
He kissed away her tears with heartache, from the corners of her eyes to her cheeks and then to her lips. Although the distance was so close, it was a forbidden place that he did not dare to touch easily.
Resisting the strong impulse and acting like a gentleman, Baili Shun picked up the man and carried him horizontally, walking straight into the house.
"What are you doing!" Lin Ruojin exclaimed, and her hand holding the jade bracelet trembled slightly.
"I can wait for your answer any later, but I don't want to hear it now. The time is up and you should rest."
Rest? Do you need to rest at a fixed time?
"Let go!" Lin Ruojin had a fierce look on his face. He used his free hand to hit him hard, but was afraid that she would hurt him badly again. "Men and women should not touch each other! If you don't let go, I will report it to the master!"
"You can give it a try~ But Master Di Ling and I are close friends regardless of age difference, I'm worried that you won't win~"
Lin Ruojin opened her mouth speechlessly. She had no idea that Baili Shun would become so shameless after losing his memory!
"You are being a hooligan. I didn't promise you anything. You and I..."
"Then, once you agree to my courtship, can we love each other?" There was a glimmer of hope in Baili Shun's narrow phoenix eyes.
The ambiguous and abrupt turn of events swept away the awkward and depressing atmosphere just now.
"......" Lin Ruojin couldn't bear it any longer and punched him hard on the shoulder. Seeing that he was in pain, she changed the subject and said, "What happened in Wenxin Lake? How did you get hurt? Tell me about it."
The smile on Baili Shun's face froze. He didn't want to talk about what happened in the lake anymore. It was really embarrassing.
However, he himself did not know what the evil energy that attacked him from the bottom of the lake came from.
Why would Master Di Ling ask him to take that thing back? He was even more confused. Although he was back, he always felt that with his own abilities, it was impossible and should not be so difficult to deal with. What went wrong?
"Why don't you speak?"
"It's nothing. There were lake spirits and evil spirits of the dead guarding the Tongtiandi in the lake. I was distracted for a moment and got hurt. Fortunately, I remembered your instructions and fought them with all my might. Now I can come back to see you safely."
Noticing Lin Ruojin's gaze on his chest, Baili Shun shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
"You promised me that day that you would only accompany me to the fireworks show tomorrow night. If you have made up your mind and are willing to accept me, then wear this bracelet and meet me at the gate of Qingyun Mountain. I will wait for you no matter how long it takes, no matter how long it takes!"
Lin Ruojin's heart clenched, and the next second he raised his head as if he had thought of something.
"Then, if I go, can you agree to one more request of mine?"
"any request?"
"I hope……"
At midnight, the moon disappeared behind thick clouds.
Baili Shun walked out of Lin Ruojin's room, and Ji Yun was standing not far away waiting for him.
"Master, the things have been delivered to Sect Leader Qingyun."
Baili Shun nodded, praised him lightly, and prepared to return to his guest room.
"Master, you look very bad..."
Baili Shun suddenly let out a long sigh, steadied his shaking body, and subconsciously raised his hand to cover his chest, where hot liquid was slowly oozing out. The dense, tingling sensation came over him in waves like a tide, making him sweat profusely and his vision blurred.
"It's okay. It won't be too late to recuperate after tomorrow night..."
There were gusts of cold wind, and there seemed to be some strange noises coming from the direction of the Qingyun Main Hall through the wind, intermittently, tearing the quiet night apart bit by bit.
In the Qingyun Hall, the quiet moonlight shines in through the window lattices.
The lanterns in every corner of the hall were lit up one by one. Tu Hong and Yun Yan sat on the chairs and looked at each other.
The drunkard Tu Hong drank a lot of rice wine today and was so drunk that he had lost his patience.
"Big Brother, did something happen that made you call us here tonight?" After Tu Hong finished speaking, he realized that his question was wrong and subconsciously looked at Yun Yan beside him.
Yun Yan frowned, and glanced at the three things placed on the shelf in the middle of the hall, which were the Soul-Cut Blade, the Heart-Breaking Stone, and a cup of water-like liquid.
Let’s not talk about the last cup of unknown liquid, the first two items alone are very extraordinary. They are forbidden items listed in the Qingyun Treasure Pavilion!
In front of the two of them, Master Di Ling sat at the very top with no significant emotion changing as usual.
"I want to make a heart-cutting sword. The materials are ready. Now I just need your help to refine it."
Hearing this, Tu Hong suddenly came to his senses, "What? What do you want that thing for, Senior Brother?"
"I'm going to use it to dig out Kisaragi's 'heart'!"
