The vicious female supporting role in the book cultivation world is crazy and involuntarily

She opened her eyes again, and the sudden light made her eyes tear up unconsciously. Everything in front of her was blurry, and she could only vaguely see a figure in front of her, who seemed to be waving his hands, opening and closing his mouth, as if asking something.

Lu Zhaozhao grasped the flailing hand according to her vague location. The moment her hand grasped it, the rough, calloused yet unusually warm and strong hand was easily restrained, allowing her to move freely.

Lu Zhaozhao's eyes were irritated, but he didn't think too much about it for a moment. He just blinked hard to force out physiological tears, and then his vision gradually recovered.

The face of the person in front of her gradually became clear, and Cheng Sangjie's anxious face filled her sight.

Lu Zhaozhao was a little confused. She was clearly still at Jiufeng's place just now, and Cheng Sangjie had clearly left the third level boundary long ago.

She also asked out loud, "Why are you here? Where is this?"

Cheng Sangjie breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her speak. He wanted to answer her, but was interrupted by a beautiful female voice.

"If my brother hadn't risked his life to save you, you would have been burned to death on the third floor!"

Lu Zhaozhao recognized Nan Rongrui's voice and propped herself up on her elbows to look at her, but seeing that Nan Rongrui seemed to have no intention of talking to her any further and just wanted to stab her once, she frowned and turned to Cheng Sangjie.

Cheng Sangjie saw her confusion and explained it in detail.

Only then did Lu Zhaozhao realize that her vision of the Nine Phoenixes and the subsequent scene of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix were all hallucinations. According to Cheng Sangjie, when she was discovered, her body was surrounded and scorched by heavenly fire, and she had already lost consciousness. If Cheng Sangjie had not used his power to dispel the heavenly fire and protect her heart meridian, she would not be sitting here in one piece.

Hearing this, Lu Zhaozhao looked up at Cheng Sangjie and asked unconsciously: "Why did you come to save me?"

Cheng Sangjie avoided her gaze, staring only at the wristband on his hand, and said, "Since we have formed an alliance, I naturally cannot abandon you."

"Is that all?" Lu Zhaozhao looked at him stubbornly, trying to meet his gaze.

But Cheng Sangjie didn't answer directly. He just patted his clothes, stood up, took two steps away, and said with his back to her: "You are seriously injured. Get a good rest tonight."

After saying that, he walked away.

Lu Zhaozhao stared at his departing back, frowned and thought for a while, then shook her head helplessly and closed her eyes to regulate her breathing.

Cheng Sangjie hid his hands in his wide sleeves and clenched them tightly. He didn't realize that he had been gritting his teeth until he walked away. Seeing Nan Rongrui looking at him, he smiled at her nonchalantly and walked towards the depths of the forest.

Nan Rongrui wanted to catch up with him, but was stopped by Tu Shan Xixiang. She stared at him in confusion and said in a low voice: "He is still injured. If there is anything evil nearby..."

"You're injured too. If something really happens, you won't be able to help him." Tushan Xixiang replied calmly, "Besides, my brother won't be too far away. If you're worried, I'll follow him."

Nan Rongrui glared at him with a frown and bared his teeth, and agreed reluctantly.

Tushan Xixiang turned around and chased in the direction Cheng Sangjie left.

After passing through several dense trees, the sound of flowing water came to his ears. Tushan Xixiang saw Cheng Sangjie sitting by the stream from afar.

He walked towards Sang Jie and was about to speak when a strong smell of blood hit him in the face.

"How come you are so badly injured!" Tudan Xixiang rushed forward, holding his arm with one hand and transmitting spiritual power to him with the other.

Cheng Sangjie's face was frighteningly pale, and the damage caused by the displacement of his internal organs made him vomit blood uncontrollably.

Tu Shan Xi Xiang transferred his spiritual power to him to relieve his pain while checking his injuries.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

Cheng Sangjie's body was burned beyond recognition by the heavenly fire, and coupled with his cultivation and spiritual power being cold, the heavenly fire restrained him and remained in his body, making it impossible for him to heal himself, which was why he was in such a mess.

"Brother, why are you so impulsive today?" Tu Shan Xixiang frowned as he treated his wounds and suddenly asked.

Cheng Sangjie was sweating profusely from the pain, but he still feigned composure, pretending not to understand: "I got caught by mistake and let this thing stay in my body."

"You clearly know that this is not what I am talking about." Tu Shan Xixiang muttered softly.

What he wanted to ask was why his brother turned back after seeing Guannan did not come out with them, why he stayed by Guannan's side waiting for her to wake up after rescuing her, and why he pretended to be nothing and carried it all by himself despite suffering such a serious injury.

Cheng Sangjie smiled bitterly and looked up at the night sky. The full moon was high in the sky tonight, and there seemed to be thousands of stars in his eyes.

After a long pause, he whispered, "I seem to have developed feelings of admiration for her..."

Tu Shan Xixiang suddenly raised his head and looked at him in shock, with a heavy question in his mind: "Why?" They had clearly only known each other for a short time, and they had always been in opposition before.

Tushan Xixiang had been with Cheng Sangjie for a long time. He knew his brother wasn't as gentle and refined as he appeared. The real Cheng Sangjie was cold-blooded and heartless. During the Gu Diao Clan Rebellion, he had personally poisoned his brother, their mother, to death, orchestrated the imprisonment of his uncle who had attempted to seize power, and condemned his uncle, who had treated him like his own son, to eternal imprisonment.

Tushan Xixiang will never forget the day when he and his father rushed to Luwu Mountain after receiving the news and saw the tragic scene of debris and blood all over the mountain. He will also never forget the look of Cheng Sangjie standing in the sea of ​​corpses and blood and holding up his authority.

It was rumored that the Gu Diao tribe had suddenly encountered a disaster, and the capable people in the tribe left one after another on the same day the tribe leader passed away. For this reason, Cheng Sangjie's grandfather had no choice but to pass the position of tribe leader to Cheng Sangjie, who was still young at the time.

Some said Cheng Sangjie was lucky, as the people ahead of him were gone, leaving him in that position for nothing; others said he had a hard life, having to support a clan at such a young age. But no matter what others said, Tushan Xixiang didn't listen. He knew the inside story. This was all the result of Cheng Sangjie's own scheme. So, when Cheng Sangjie said the word "love", Tushan Xixiang was so shocked. He couldn't believe that such a cold-hearted person would have such strange feelings for someone whose position was unclear.

Perhaps his shock was too obvious, Cheng Sangjie laughed, breaking the original unclear atmosphere.

"I can't explain matters of the heart, but if one day she goes against our stance, I will definitely not show mercy."

Hearing this, Tu Shan Xi Xiang nodded, his consciousness returning. After all, his brother was still his brother, never trapped by love. It had always been like this, and it would always be like this.

As the east dawned, Cheng Sangjie's injuries, though not fully healed, appeared to be no more serious. Tushan Xixiang wanted to heal him in one go, but Cheng Sangjie stopped him.

"If you continue, your body will also be damaged. There are only two days left in this level. We can't afford to have another person injured."

After saying that, he stood up, washed the blood off his hands with stream water, and walked back to the place where they had rested side by side with Tu Shanxi.
