It was already evening when I returned to Siyou.
Qi Fuzhou sent She Chu to the Realm Gate and said goodbye: "I want to help you complete your visit to relatives in the human world, so I won't send you back to Jinfeng Palace. When you go back, remember to say hello to the teacher for me."
She Chu nodded and said sincerely, "I know, sorry for bothering you."
Qi Fuzhou waved goodbye to She Chu. She Chu saw him disappear into the clouds on a gilt carriage pulled by four flying horses, and then he entered the realm of Siyou.
As soon as you enter the gate, the surrounding scenery changes instantly.
When the gate guards saw She Chu, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Seven Killers."
She Chu raised his hand to signal them to get up, and asked casually: "Is there anyone going in and out of Siyou these days?"
The guard reported truthfully: "Everything is the same as before. Except for daily dispatch, there are no special changes."
She Chu felt a little relieved after hearing this.
After feeling reassured, she couldn't help but murmur in her heart: Is Wu Lingxing so obedient this time? While she was away, he actually didn't cause any more trouble.
She Chu shook his head and could only explain Wu Lingxing's rare cooperation this time as "Yu Jing was in charge." In fact, she knew very well that for Wu Lingxing, nothing was impossible in this world. When he was really determined to do something, Yu Jing really couldn't stop him.
She Chu rushed back to Jinfeng Palace.
She thought for a moment and finally summoned her own bodyguard, Jingnu from the Mohou tribe.
Jing Nu was an orphan whom She Chu met for the first time three hundred years ago when he inspected the Mohou tribe as the Seven Killers.
The long war caused She Chu and Wu Lingxing to lose their close relatives, and Siyou's ordinary demons had an even worse life.
There were countless children who were orphaned during the war. Although Yu Jing set up Ci'an Hall to specifically raise these war orphans, there were still some children who were not taken care of.
Jing Nu is one of them.
Her father was instigated by Qiongcang during the war and betrayed Siyou. He fled after the war and his whereabouts are still unknown.
Her mother died of depression because she could not bear the shame caused by her father's betrayal. As a descendant of a traitor, she was naturally not popular in her family.
Even after entering Ci'an Hall, with such a father around, she would still be the target of bullying by other children. It was even difficult for the Empress of Ci'antang to prevent such a thing from happening.
When She Chu went there, she saw with her own eyes a child pushing her into the mud, snatching away her small wooden sword, and naturally yelling: "My parents are both war heroes, and your father is a despicable traitor." ! What qualifications do you have to stand here!"
Some even yelled, "You treacherous child! It was because of your father that our parents would die!"
Seeing She Chu's solemn expression, Ci'antang's mother had no choice but to explain: "...I know this shouldn't have happened, but what the child said is true, and I can't refute it. What's more, the child himself is a bit——"
Before Eminem finished speaking, She Chu saw the little girl who had been robbed of the wooden sword and kicked into the mud suddenly stretched out her arms, and immediately pulled down the two boys who bullied her and dragged her into the mud. .
Not only that, after the two fell down, she jumped up and without hesitation punched and kicked the two before they could get up!
Occasionally, the two of them resisted and tore her apart. She Chu saw with her own eyes that a piece of her hair was pulled out. She also bit her cheeks and pressed the two of them to death in the mud without saying a word.
She was going to win.
Eminem has to show up to stop this farce from getting serious.
Suddenly a child shouted: "The children of murderers will also kill their own people!"
Jingnu's hands froze in the air. With her pause, she finally gave the two boys a chance to regain the initiative.
Eminem couldn't stand it anymore, so she yelled to warn the three children.
The two boys ran away quickly. Only Jingnu retrieved her wooden sword from the soil and stood there indifferently.
Seeing this, Eminem said to She Chu: "You saw it. She herself is not a good person. With her in Ci'an Hall, things like this today can't be prevented. You also know that my son also died in the war. I was not in a position to advise other children to be patient on her behalf."
The dedicated Eminem looked into She Chu's eyes and begged: "Can you take her away?"
Jingnu was left standing in the mud pond for punishment.
She Chu observed for a while, then came over and asked her: "Amu is no longer here, why don't you run away?"
At that time, Jingnu was not as lively as she is now. She just glanced at She Chu, as if laughing at her stupidity, and said nothing.
She Chu recalled himself and smiled.
She then said, "I won't tell Eminem that you're leaving."
Hearing this, Jingnu looked She Chu up and down, and seemed sure that she would not lie, so she waded out of the muddy water with her sword in hand.
Seeing Jingnu holding the small wooden sword and about to leave, She Chu called out to her: "Do you want to leave here?"
Jingnu stopped when she heard this, and finally looked at She Chu squarely.
Only then did She Chu see her eyes clearly, a pair of red eyes that refused to shed a single tear.
At that time, Jingnu answered her in a hoarse voice: "I have nowhere else to go but here."
She Chu suddenly felt soft-hearted. She read what Eminem said and said warmly: "I still need a guard. Are you willing to come to my place and serve me?"
In Siyouli, only three deities have guards.
Only then did Jing Nu understand who she was.
She was shocked for a long time, and She Chu also waited for her for a long time.
Until Jingnu finally spoke to her, Jingnu did not respond, but just asked: "My father is a betrayer, aren't you afraid that I will betray him too?"
She Chu did not answer this topic directly.
She then brought up the dispute just now and said: "You can defeat two boys who are older than you by yourself. You have very good physical fitness and strong spiritual power. You are a good prospect to be a guard. You have to give up your Talent?"
Jingnu actually didn't understand most of the words at that time. She only caught one sentence: "Do you want to give up?"
She didn't tremble when she was pushed into the mud, nor did she get timid when being punished by Eminem. But she trembled at She Chu's gentle words.
She Chu actually didn't know how to take care of such a child. The two friends around her, whether it was Qi Fuzhou or Wu Lingxing, did not need her to lend a hand.
She Chu hesitated for a moment and stretched out his hand unskillfully.
She said: "If you want to leave, I can send you to a training camp. If you pass the training, you can be my guard. Once you become my guard, no one will talk about your father's affairs anymore - do The Seven Killing Guards had to abandon their original identity."
Jingnu later told She Chu that she had said so much that day, but what really moved her was the sentence "abandoning your original identity."
She was fed up with the shadow her father had brought to her, and couldn't wait to abandon everything in her original life, so when she heard She Chu say that, she just wished she could catch her faster.
Jingnu replied: "Okay. You can wash away my identity and I will serve you."
"I will prove it to you -" she summoned up the courage to say loudly, "I, Jingnu, will never betray Siyou!"
Seeing that Jing Nu agreed, She Chu handed her over to Yu Jing and sent her to the military camp.
For nearly a hundred years after that, She Chu was so busy with everything that he almost forgot about it. It was not until a hundred years ago that Yu Jing led Jing Nu, who had grown up, to come to her and told her that several new people had been selected for the military camp. Guards, this one is the best, but she refuses to be Wu Lingxing's guard and insists on being her guard.
According to regulations, where the guards go after being selected is decided by the chief officer, and it is not the turn of the guards to choose.
The supervisor rejected Jingnu's request and wanted to transfer her to Fusang Palace, but Jingnu refused to obey even to the point of death.
According to the rules, such a guard cannot be kept. It is also the supervisor who cherishes talents and reports to Yu Jing.
Yu was surprised and curious after hearing this, so he brought her to She Chu to ask what was going on.
She Chu had almost forgotten about it at that time, but Jing Nu asked her in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, do you think Jingnu is not qualified to be the Seven Killing Guard?"
——She Chu just remembered old things.
She told Yu Jing the whole story, and Yu Jing clapped his hands and laughed.
He said: "This child is loyal and would rather die than break his promise. Ah Chu, you can use her."
From then on, Jing Nu became her bodyguard.
Later, she became the leader of her guards.
During the two hundred years they worked together, it was not like no one else had ever mentioned her origin.
However, just like what She Chu said at the beginning - the Seven Killers are all people with no past. If you say that Jingnu has a past, are you questioning the Pojun Lord who is responsible for training, or the Seven Killers who employ people.
Later, just as She Chu had commented, Jing Nu, who was extremely talented, was the best among the guards.
Even the leader of the guards under Wu Lingxing could not surpass her a few times, and she also completed the several errands sent to her by She Chu quite well.
Gradually, fewer and fewer people in Siyounei still remember her origins.
People only know that there is always a black shadow behind She Chu. This black shadow is as silent as dust and as sharp as a sharp edge. It is the most powerful sword of the Seven Killers.
"Your Majesty, you are back."
The arrival of Jing Nu brought back She Chu's thoughts.
She lowered her eyes and looked down. A girl in black leather armor lowered her head and kowtowed to her. She has a delicate appearance and is relatively young for the demon clan. If someone who is not familiar with her met her, it would be hard to believe that such a thin body could contain such powerful power.
She Chu has always trusted Jing Nu.
She raised her hand to signal Jingnu to stand up, and patted the table to signal her to come over and sit down.
Seeing this, Jingnu followed the order.
Sit down, with your back straight.
She Chu smiled when she saw this. She touched her sleeves and took out a sword tassel. She handed the sword tassel to Jingnu and said, "I passed by Junjie City on business this time and saw this when I came back. I thought it was very suitable." You and Azhou borrowed money to buy it."
Jingnu stretched out her hands to take She Chu's gift and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about your subordinates. But you, you didn't take any of the guards with you when you left this time, so everyone is worried."
In his hand, he carefully took the gift into his arms.
She Chu said "Huh" and stopped her from going back to confess, and directly held the dagger at her waist for her. She thought to herself: I'm going to help Wu Lingxing pick up Yan Qing, but I really can't bring anyone else with me.
She brushed off the topic and said, "It happened suddenly and I didn't have time to arrange things slowly. Can you help me hide the news?"
Jingnu said: "According to your instructions, except for Lord Pojun, everyone else, especially the Demon Lord, said that you went to Danxiao Palace to attend to official matters."
She Chu nodded with satisfaction.
She thought about the too quiet Jiemen, but still felt uneasy, so she asked again: "Did anything happen to Fusang Palace during my absence?"
Jing Nu recalled for a moment and said respectfully: "Are you referring to the fact that the Demon Lord forced Po Junzun to prepare a betrothal gift for him, and that he would go to the sky to betrothal? Or are you referring to Po Junzun saying that this year is the 328th anniversary of your mother's death? Are you going to hold a ceremony in Siyou?"
She Chu almost spit out a mouthful of tea when he heard this.
She coughed several times, and Jing Nu worriedly stretched out her hand to rub her back and whispered to her to slow down.
She Chu slowly regained her composure and said in shock: "What, what kind of memorial ceremony? Why didn't I know that my mother's memorial ceremony was going to be held this year?"
Jing Nu doesn’t know either.
She recalled for a moment and told She Chu the matter in detail: "In the beginning, it was the Demon Lord who wanted to go to the sky, but Po Junzun refused. The Demon Lord wanted a reason, and Po Junzun said, 'This year is your mother's 300th anniversary. Twenty-eight years of memorial ceremony is not suitable for a happy event. Let him wait until next year. The Demon Lord was angered by this sentence and said that since it is a memorial ceremony, where is the ceremony? So Po Junzun decided to hold a ceremony. The Demon Lord was speechless when he saw this. He was speechless and could only settle for the next best thing, saying that if this year is not suitable, then he will be hired next year. He asked Po Junzun to accompany him to the sky to be hired next year. "
She Chu heard this: "..."
Speaking of this, Jingnu felt a rare emotion.
She whispered: "The Demon Lord is too willful. You have worked very hard to maintain the peace between the two realms. He actually asked Pojun Zun to accompany him to the sky, and Pojun Zun went to the sky - the god who died under Pojun Zun that year There are too many to count. If he goes up to the sky, he is afraid that there will be another war.”
"The same goes for Master Po Jun." Jingnu said, "He is too indulgent of the Demon Lord. Even if it is just a delaying tactic, how can we agree to his rude request?"
She Chu: "..."
She Chu silently took another sip of water.
Seeing that Jingnu was really upset, she comforted her by saying, "Yu Jing is not condoning Wu Lingxing."
Jingnu was puzzled, so She Chu explained: "This year I have to hold a memorial ceremony and I can't go. Then next year, it will naturally be the 329th anniversary of my mother's death. It's also not suitable for weddings."
"Yu Jing was called a wise general back then, and Wu Lingxing was as tender as a new bud in spring in front of him." She Chu sympathized for a few seconds, saying, "He can't intimidate Yu Jing."
