Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

"Second Master!"

Ye Zhen wished she could grow wings and fly over, but Chen Buchu was blocking her way. She had to stand on tiptoe to look at him for even a second.

She looked at Li Xun carefully. Although his face looked normal, his lips were slightly pale and his body was slightly tilted to the right. Ye Zhen's heart tightened, and she knew that he must have an injury on the left side of his body. And it seemed that he came here only after the injury was healed.

Ye Zhen finally implicated him, and she felt guilty and distressed.

"Second Master, I'm fine. Everything is fine."

Knowing that he was worried about her, Ye Zhen immediately explained to him with a smile, and couldn't help but jump twice to prove that she was really fine.

Li Xun wanted to kill someone along the way, and his face was so gloomy that no one dared to approach him and talk to him.

He knew how cold-hearted and cruel Chen Buchu was, and he knew how much Chen Buchu hated him because of Li Xuan's death, so he didn't dare to have any hope.

In half a month, if Ye Zhen really died in her hands, he would not be able to see her for the last time if he came here now. But even if only bones were left, he would bring her back.

So at this moment, seeing Ye Zhen waving at him unharmed and forcing a gentle smile, the tension in his heart suddenly relaxed and his expression was not so scary anymore.

He said, "I'm sorry I'm late. Are you suffering?"

Li Xun was thankful that God had left him a way to survive, but he couldn't believe that Chen Buchu hadn't hurt Ye Zhen, so he had this doubt.

Ye Zhen shook her head and was about to explain, but Chen Buchu said ruthlessly, "For a dying person, what difference does it make whether he suffers or not?"

Li Xun's eyebrows tightened, "It's me that my mother hates, it has nothing to do with her."

Chen Buchu saw the ice in his eyes. When he looked at her, his whole body was like a weapon covered with thorns. Without the layer of respect he had pretended before, she felt an indescribable complexity in her heart.

"I don't hate you. I hate what you do. What's the point of hating you?"

"Meng Xiru is Xu'an's favorite person. He swore since he was a child that he would marry her and treat her well when he grew up."

"Now you have taken his place, and you must fulfill his wish."

Ye Zhen was horrified when she heard this, and her surprised eyes kept moving between Li Xun and Chen Buzhu.

Although Li Xun was very restrained, his smile was still extremely sad. "If he really liked Meng Qianru that much, he wouldn't have been willing to die for me."

"It won't let me live well and happily."

His voice was not loud, but it was like an icicle hitting someone, making people feel painful and cold.

"Mother, although you are gentler to me... uh, to strangers than to me, I don't want to make you sad or hurt you."

"The only person in this world who has given me warmth and hope is Li Xuan. Since you are also his mother, I respect you and do everything according to your wishes."

"But a fake is a fake. I am not Li Xuan'an. I am Li Xun. I am the son you gave birth to with hatred. You never told me how to live a good life, how to avoid being hurt by your grievances. You never taught me anything."

"All you gave me was indifference."

"It's unrealistic for my mother to expect me to be sensible and kind now."

He tilted his head and smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were clearly more beautiful than the mountains and rivers, but the smile did not reach his eyes. Every word he spoke was as cold as a knife, killing a thousand enemies but injuring eight hundred of his own.

Ye Zhen's throat choked, her nails dug deeply into her palms, and her heart ached.

Chen Buchu's calmness was completely shattered. She opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word. Emotions welled up in the softest part of her heart but she suppressed them forcefully.

"Even if you marry Meng Qianru, you will still be the second master of Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion. Nothing will change."

Li Xun sneered, "Nothing will change? Actually, everything has changed. It's meaningless."

"Mother has practiced for many years, don't you know even the simplest way of deceiving yourself?"

"Li Xuan died eight years ago. He died at the hands of the man sent by the Queen to assassinate me. He died in that cave, in my arms."

"Just use his name, do what he likes and live. I am not Li Xuan'an."

"My name is Li Xun."

Ye Zhen's eyes felt sore and tears welled up in her eyes.

This is how the nameless tomb came to be.

His words suffocated Chen Buchu, making her shaky and almost unable to stand. She pursed her lips tightly, her eyes were cold, and all her emotions were written on her face.

"shut up!"

When Li Xun saw Chen clenching his fists, his heart grew colder. Although he had known for a long time that she had never loved him, when he actually saw her murderous intent, his blood instantly ran cold.

"When I was born, you and the emperor were both cruel."

"Now that he has been betrayed by the crown prince and the throne is vacant, he has become close to me, saying that he wants to make it up to me, so that I am moved and willing to be tied to the throne by him. In the end, what I am satisfied with is only his infatuation with you."

"But mother... was unwilling to accept the fact that Li Xuan'an was dead, and insisted that I take his place and marry the person he loved, so that in your heart, it would be as if Li Xuan'an was still alive."

The more Li Xun spoke, the sadder he became, but his expression became calmer.

He paused, his eyes suddenly filled with a deep abyss of determination, "But I am also a person, not a toy for you to manipulate. If you want me, cherish me; if you don't want me, discard me like a worn-out shoe. I am not even worthy of having my name mentioned by others."

"Mother, I will not marry Meng Xiru. On the contrary, if she touches my people, I will make sure she can't even go to hell."

"I want Ye Zhen."

"Give me back my people."

Like a devil from hell, he stretched out his hand towards Chen Bu Bu, his five fingers like invisible claws, ready to dig out someone's heart in the next moment.

Chen Buchu had never seen Li Xun like this before. When he was a child, he was silent and followed him everywhere. Later, when he followed Li Xuan, he smiled a little, but he also had more serious thoughts. When he looked at him, there was no more entangled light in his eyes.

She was relieved at that time, but now she realized that he had already given up hope on his mother and had no hope anymore.

Later, he entered the Taoist sect under Xu'an's identity and became the national teacher. He treated himself with great respect and agreed to everything he said, just like Xu'an treated them.

The good old days were not real.

This scene is the real Li Xun.

Chen Buchu frowned, "What if I don't give it to you?"

"I know how capable you are. Your body...can't withstand my attack."

Li Xun curled his lips slightly, "Mother, do you think the sect will protect you or me?"

"After all, the Qing sect's hopes for the future are all on me, not to mention that now even the emperor is coaxing me to inherit the throne, which is a hundred benefits and no harm to the sect."

"If I die, no, if I am injured here, do you think the sect and His Majesty will give up?"

"You're threatening me?" Chen Buchu suppressed his anger, "It's just a life, what's there to be afraid of!"

The smile on Li Xun's face deepened little by little, "If you are willing to give up Dingyuan Hou, it's not impossible to accompany me to hell."

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Bu's eyes were filled with anger, but he had to grit his teeth and suppress it.

Li Xun slowly glanced at the forest and said, "Why don't you guess who helped me break this barrier?"

Chen Buchu's pupils trembled. She had not had time to think much when the barrier was broken just now. Li Xun had the ability, but his body could not support him to break the formation for a long time.

Although the Qing Sect all acknowledged that he would be the next generation leader, no one was willing to get involved in the feud between him and them.

Then who else can help him?

Li Xun snapped his fingers, and Luo Chuan fell from the sky. He coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, "Didn't we agree that I don't have to show up?"

"Why do you always keep your promises?"

Although it was an accusation, there was no trace of disgust on Luochuan's face. On the contrary, he looked a little flattering.

Li Xun ignored him and just said to Chen Buchu, "Does mother still have a chance of winning?"
