Not long after, Lord Jiyue came back with the information Qingxian needed.
He is indeed "innocent" and has not deliberately concealed his past. As he himself explained, he did come from a wealthy family, but that kind of surname was not worthy of his pride. They were doing business on the surface, but in fact everyone in the world knew that in order to win the market, their family would dare to hire murderers. They are rich enough and the people they hire do beautiful work. Even if there is no clear evidence, all signs can show that they are the beneficiaries of some homicides. But when they were able to bribe the local government, the situation was completely different. Even people in his family who "spread rumors" can be arrested and beaten by the government officials. As a result, their reputation behind the scenes will naturally not be much better.
But businessmen only like money. Maintain your reputation because it can keep you or bring you more money. If the connection between reputation and money becomes weak and they have better ways to obtain greater benefits, then reputation can be abandoned, which is a matter of course. Logically speaking, businessmen do not need to be as strong as those who practice martial arts, in addition to traveling all over the country. But their family is different. This business is so big that the owner can't do anything personally, he just needs to sit at home and give orders. But they have offended too many people, and naturally they have many enemies. And once someone is eyeing your life, it will be impossible to guard against it. Therefore, practicing martial arts is actually for self-protection. Don't wait until the knife is held to your neck before you start regretting being lazy at home every day.
After hearing this, it became reasonable for him not to mention his past.
Qingxian still doesn't recognize this marriage at all. The young man fled here from a nearby city, and the distance sounded very dangerous. Even if Mr. Jiyue settled the Zuojimen side, what if they sent a new killer, or simply came to the door directly? She had no intention of hiding this matter from Qing Zhan. She even said something unpleasant: If you don't care about your own life or death, are you putting the entire troupe in danger? Qingxian would never say such a thing originally, but she was forced to panic. In fact, in her heart, Qingzhan's safety is more important than anything else. She is just like herself, and who doesn't love herself?
But Qingxian also knows Qingzhan, and Qingzhan will be touched by such words. Although the two sisters look very similar and are the same in the eyes of acquaintances, it is these subtle differences that make them different. Qingzhan's concern for others is not considered philanthropic, but she does care; Qingxian pays more attention to their own love, but it is not considered selfish. They are like dividing the same person into two parts. Some things have more of one half, and some things have more of that half.
Qingzhan did hesitate. She liked that young man. He has good character, good looks, and good physique. There is almost nothing wrong with him. The only thing worthy of criticism is his origin. After Qingzhan knew all this, he said nothing about it. But finally one day, the young man confessed his feelings to her, and she expressed her doubts. She pretended not to know the other person's life experience and expressed her "grievances" on paper. She said that the other party always said nice things but never mentioned her past, as if he didn't trust her. How could she accept such feelings? Of course, Qingzhan only thinks so to a certain extent. She is not stupid. The more important purpose is of course to make a cliché. As expected, the young man immediately panicked and was really worried about what she would think of him. After hesitating for a while, he finally made up his mind to tell his story.
So he finished those things in a stuttering manner, which was not much different from what Ji Yuejun told Qingxian. She was happy, but still pretended to be calm at the time. In turn, the young man said a little aggrievedly that he had never asked about the affairs of the two girls, but now he really wanted to know, otherwise it would be "unfair". Qingzhan understood, not to mention that he passed his "test". Qingzhan felt that there was no need to hide it anymore, so he wrote to him everything about his and Qingxian's past.
The young man shed tears and regretted it. The two exchanged heart-to-hearts and their relationship has indeed become closer again. Before dawn, the young man took away the letters and told her that he must take them and burn them so that no one with ulterior motives could find out. Qingzhan was even more relieved. She was going to happily tell Qingxian what happened that night, and Qingxian could tell everything from her expression. But she still couldn't calm down. She told Lord Jiyue about her doubts, and Lord Jiyue advised her not to think so much.
"Is it possible that you believe the story of the prodigal son turning back?" Qingxian's tone was very strange, "You have lived for so many years, you should have a clear understanding of what human nature is like."
Lord Jiyue cannot see, but he can still gesture to others. He could also write, but he just couldn't use it. His gestures were taught to him by Qingxian and Qingzhan. They were originally the way of communication between the two, but were soon abandoned and replaced by more efficient and covert communication. However, this transition is indeed very suitable for Lord Jiyue, allowing him to easily participate in conversations that contain secrets.
He said that he knew that life was rough, but if Qingzhan liked it, he would let her go. He can try to help her solve any problems that may arise in the future. The two of them have suffered too much, and they should live a life that can be called happy no matter what. If she really believes that this is her happiness, Lord Jiyue will do this. Likewise, he also hopes that Qingxian can find his own happiness. She may not need to meet her beloved to live a wonderful life. As long as she feels that this life is worth it, this is Ji Yuejun's greatest wish as a master.
Qingxian was convinced in this way - although she still had concerns, she already understood the master's intention. She thought that Qingzhan's happiness was her own happiness. If that kid doesn't treat her well in the future, she will have someone to take care of her.
It's just... they have their own lives after all. Qingxian understands very well. If she lets go, this part of herself will be permanently severed. It's not simply that if there is blood, all this will not matter. Time will change people a lot, and she really doesn't have the courage to gamble. But at this point, what else could she do? She could only pay more attention and give more advice before the two got married.
If they really get married, then the theater will not be able to continue operating. The reason is very simple - the young man must leave here, otherwise sooner or later, people from his family will come to his door, and then it will not be something that can be solved by talking about love. Qingzhan knew this very well. But their feelings are getting deeper and deeper, and the young man admits that he really can't be cruel and just leave for the sake of their career. The people in the theater have been irrigated by goodwill to this day, and they sincerely hope that Qingzhan can spend the rest of his life with the one he loves. Because they had worked in theaters and were considered "reputable", many of them had found jobs privately in wealthy families and told the two proprietresses one day. The two of them were moved to the point of almost heartache - even Qingxian thought that ever since she embarked on the path of a killer, she had never thought about feeling the warmth of the human world again. The incident between the young man and Qing Zhan failed to touch her, but everyone in the theater made her feel this way again.
She finally said to the two of them personally, maybe it's time for you to get together.
It was an auspicious day. The wedding was not a big fanfare, but the neighborhood was very lively. After all, everyone had been looking forward to it for a long time. Gongs and drums were beating inside and outside the building, and there was laughter and laughter everywhere. Seeing the same warm smiles on the faces of the young man and Qingzhan, Qingxian felt that it was very unreal at that moment.
The excitement in the world has nothing to do with her, and she can't hear anything.
She was used to such silence, used to it for many years. The gongs and drums were noisy, the firecrackers were blasting, and she could only feel the tremors of the ground and air. She was very sensitive to all this. But when she thought that it was these tremors themselves that stacked people's emotions into a raging wave, she still felt a little incredible. She could have felt the same, but when the two drank the wine, she only felt the pain and loneliness of being split in two.
She kept telling herself that Lord Jiyue was right. Come to the human world, life is difficult enough. If there is something that can be called happiness, you should hold on to it even if the future is uncertain.
Lord Jiyue was there that day, and he noticed the state of the two disciples equally. There is no need to worry about Qingzhan, but Qingxian is very concerned about him. That night, the two communicated for a long time. Ji Yuejun asked her what her plans were and whether she had any idea of continuing to run the theater. Qingxian said frankly that she didn't. After all, most people have already found their next employer, and it is impossible to hire new people, and "Breaking the Sky and Killing the Night Dance" cannot be performed by her alone. Besides, no one else could keep up with her pace.
Two sisters, one has a family and a career, the other travels around the world. At this point, the story seems to have ended perfectly.
but no.
Otherwise, there would be no Ye Xuici today - the Ye Xuici who stands in this story and looks at everything.
An enemy eventually came to her door...but it wasn't her lover's enemy, it was her own. The young man said he wanted to burn the paper Yun Qingzhan wrote that night, but he was seen by a theater regular. He said that he liked the elegant little calligraphy very much and wanted to spend a lot of money to buy it. The young man was very hesitant because he felt that these contents should not be seen by others. But this customer offered a very attractive price - this was a great temptation for the young man. He is short of money and has to save for a long time before he can buy better jewelry for his beloved. However, the two proprietresses have been operating the business so far, and their income is quite considerable in comparison. There was a big gap, which was unavoidable and unsettling at times, not to mention that in the general environment, the male was the outsider and the female was the inside, and he was not used to the reverse. What's more, he has been pampered at home since he was a child. Although he no longer wants to fight for the family property, he still has no peace of mind when he wants to regain the ability to spend money he had in those days.
He thought that anyway, they could go far away, far enough away that no one would interfere. But he still underestimated the power of intelligence circulation. The news that they lived and worked peacefully here was soon known to the relatives of the former victims, and they followed their situation closely. Yun Qingxian moved around, and it was difficult to find out her whereabouts in the world, but Qingzhan was not so lucky.
In the end, all that was left to her and Lord Jiyue were two cold corpses.
Lord Jiyue tried his best to stop Qingxian's urge for revenge. He knew that if he continued to take revenge like this, there would be no peace. Qingxian believes that he is responsible, otherwise Qingzhan would not have fallen to this. She hated herself even more, why she wavered, and why she didn't persist. She finally "keeped" Jiyue Lord's promise not to take revenge and disappeared into the rivers and lakes without knowing her whereabouts. Even Liudao Wuchang could no longer inquire about her whereabouts.
Lord Jiyue takes care of all this for his beloved disciples.
His hands, which were only bones, were covered with thick bloodstains.
This was his way of apologizing.
