Each world be

Slowly, he walked towards me.

Every step he took weighed on Shi Qing's heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

"What a coincidence, Master, I actually see you here."

Looking back, she saw a few men in black standing behind her. She could only stand there stiffly and laugh dryly.

"It's only been a month since we last met, and Ah Qing has become a little unfamiliar with me." Shen Yan stood in front of her, still with that smiling face.

Then he suddenly put the folding fan in his hand to her throat, "Where is the secret book?"

Shi Qing looked innocent, "What secret book? I haven't heard of it."

Her eyes were pure and clear, without any evasion.

Shen Yan was a little skeptical, but still said coldly: "Have you ever been in the underground secret room of Xiangzhu Garden in Yin Mansion?"

"I have been into the underground secret room. But I was following a man in black. I thought he was acting suspiciously and furtively, so I followed him to the underground secret room."

Shi Qing talked nonsense in a serious manner.

Seeing that Shen Yan didn't seem to doubt, she continued to make up stories: "Who would have thought that he would discover my existence and sprinkle a bag of powder on me when I wasn't paying attention. I don't know what happened next. When I woke up, there was no one there."

There seemed to be no loophole in her words.

The man in black might be Gu Xiao, which is why he just knocked Shi Qing down but did not hurt her.

"Then why did you run away?" Thinking of how Shi Qing suddenly ran away that day, and the timing was so coincidental.

Hearing his words, the girl's face suddenly froze, and then her almond-shaped eyes became misty.

"Ayan, I'm sorry. You're right, Gu Xiao is a villain!"

"Where is Gu Xiaoren?" Shen Yan raised his eyebrows, puzzled by her accusation.

"I guess he went back to his sect that day." She said unhappily.

"I was supposed to leave with Gu Xiao that day, but after he found out I was from the Demon Sect, he turned against me. Not only did he chase me away, he also said he would kill me the next time we met."

After saying this, she burst into tears feeling aggrieved.

The look of sincere love and grief is very suitable for a woman who has been abandoned by her lover.

I didn't expect the development to be like this. Shen Yan was slightly stunned, his eyes drooped, and I don't know what he was thinking.

"Ayan, don't you want me anymore?"

The girl carefully raised her watery almond eyes and looked at him.

Her slender fingers gently grasped his sleeves, "Ayan, please don't leave me, okay? I won't run away again."

"You really don't know where Gu Xiao went?" Once again, Shen Yan observed her expression without blinking.

"I really don't know. I haven't seen him since he chased me away that day."

She shook her head with tears in her eyes, and there was a hint of resentment in her tone.

"Why don't you come back?" Shen Yan put away his folding fan, his tone indifferent.

"I was afraid you would be angry with me, so I thought I would come to you after you calmed down." She muttered, carefully observing his reaction.

"If I don't come, are you going to die from the poison?"

"No, I was planning to go back to see you today."

"Then why did you run just now?" After hearing the previous explanations, Shen Yan had already believed most of them.

At this moment, he suddenly asked with gritted teeth.

"I just want to see if you care about me. If you don't care about me, you definitely won't chase me."

She seemed a little embarrassed and lowered her head.

"A Qing, let's get married." Shen Yan suddenly said.

"what?"

She was stunned and looked at him puzzledly, as if to confirm whether he had said something wrong.

"Let's go back and prepare for the wedding. Don't you want to?" Shen Yan looked at her deeply.

"Yes, of course. I just think it's too sudden." Shi Qing said with a smile.

"In that case, let's go back now."

After saying this, he grasped Shi Qing's soft hand with his broad, dry hands and led her forward.

Several men in black disappeared quietly behind him.

When Gu Xiao came back after buying candied haws and peach biscuits, he saw that the place was empty and thought that Shi Qing had gone out for some business.

But after waiting for a long time, she didn't come back.

The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he ran back to where he tied his horse, but it was gone.

A strong sense of uneasiness suddenly rose in my heart.

He walked around the streets and alleys anxiously, but still didn't see any familiar figures.

Suddenly thinking of something, he turned around and ran back to where he was just now, anxiously asking the vendor next to him.

"Uncle, have you ever seen a girl this tall and very beautiful wearing a light green dress?"

He gestured to the vendor with his hands, and the vendor thought for a moment and said, "I think I really saw her when you put it that way. I saw her suddenly run over there."

The vendor pointed in the direction that Shi Qing had just run. Gu Xiao was delighted and said, "Thank you!"

I ran in the direction he pointed, but it was an empty alley with no one in sight.

Gu Xiao recalled the vendor's words.

Run, why run?

Could it be that he is in danger?

After running through every street and alley, he still couldn't find Shi Qing. As it was getting dark, Gu Xiao held on to one last glimmer of hope. He silently prayed that Shi Qing had just gone back first.

However, when he saw the house hidden in the darkness in the distance, the last glimmer of hope in his heart was shattered.

He pushed open the door with a dead heart, but there was no familiar person there. The room was pitch dark, and the girl who used to laugh and talk cheerfully was nowhere to be seen.

It was a warm scene when I left in the morning, but it changed in an instant after an afternoon.

Gu Xiao slumped in his chair, holding his forehead in frustration, allowing himself to fall into a cage of self-abandonment and self-loathing.

Suddenly, a faint fragrance seemed to spread in the silence, it was the scent of gardenia.

He moved his fingers slightly and slowly raised his head.

Looking around, the room was still quiet.

As if remembering something, Gu Xiao took out a pink purse from his arms. There was an exquisite white gardenia embroidered on it, and the fragrance wafted from there.

His narrow eyes were drooped and his eyelashes trembled slightly.

He rushed out of the door, mounted his horse and headed down the mountain.

Ming County, Lu Ziyin must know something!

The wind blew towards me, and in the night, the determination and passion in his eyes were so clear.

Loushan is a famous barren mountain.

The area is full of rugged rocks, tall and sparse vegetation, and the reddish soil is exposed to the sunlight.

The Demon Cult's headquarters is located in such a dangerous place.

The front mountain road is a narrow path that winds and undulates under the foot of strange-shaped high rocks. It is very easy for outsiders to get lost if they enter by mistake.

It is backed by a steep cliff, and the terrain is smooth and vertical as if cut by a knife. The cliff is covered with dense vegetation and shrouded in mist.

At the bottom of the cliff is a river, which is slightly wide and the water is fast-flowing.

At this time, more than ten days had passed.

It seems that Shen Yan really wants to marry her.

These days, everyone in the Demon Cult has been preparing for marriage-related matters, and the momentum is so grand that they seem to be afraid that the world won't know about it.

Today is the wedding day.
