When he came out of Gu Yiyi's place, Bai Yu'an's white clothes were already stained with mud.
She stood in the alley outside the gate in a daze, looking at the weeds in the corner, unable to take another step.
The original color of the hem and cuffs of the white clothes could not be seen, and the skirt was slightly loose, revealing the white lining underneath.
The palms were even more unsightly. The usually white palms could only be vaguely white.
The clean and deserted figure was as desolate as a bereaved dog that had been driven away.
But Gu Yiyi's sharp voice came from the door behind him: "Bai Yu'an, I haven't had a good day in the past ten years."
"Ten years later, I will make you live in peace for the rest of your life."
"Just remember my words."
"I will repay you all the suffering I have suffered!"
"As long as I still hold your hand, you can't get rid of me."
"I will make you fearful every day and make you never live in peace!"
These words were like a thunder, causing huge waves in Bai Yu'an's heart.
The sound echoed in the alley, and it kept reaching her ears.
She paused and stood there, but did not look back for a long time. After a long time, she turned sideways and plunged into the alley.
Shen Jue stood on the other side of the alley, looking calmly at Bai Yu'an, who lowered his head and stumbled quickly towards him.
The indistinguishable white clothes seemed to match each other in this dirty and narrow alley, and it seemed that they should not have appeared here.
The clothes swayed over that delicate figure. No matter how downcast he was, every move he made was elegant. The clothes only added two points of brilliance to the person's appearance.
That person just had to stand there and raise his hand gently, and he would look like a fairy with ice-cold muscles and jade bones.
Shen Jue stood there, quietly watching Bai Yu'an walk towards him.
Look at the mud at his feet, splashing on his white clothes bit by bit.
Until the man ran into his arms.
Until those eyes that were always focused on nothing looked at him, the black and white eyes were full of panic and panic.
There is also the silent emptiness.
Shen Jue looked at Bai Yu'an in his arms calmly, then raised his eyes to look at the door deep in the alley.
Bai Yu'an only felt that her cheek touched a warm chest. Her dull eyes stared blankly at the black clothes in front of her. The moment she raised her head, she was at a loss.
Shen Jue pursed her lips, brushed away the mud spots on Bai Yuan's face with her fingers, and asked him in a low voice: "Who is that person?"
Shen Jue's deep voice was slightly confusing, but Bai Yu'an came back to his senses instantly.
She clearly saw Shen Jue blocking the road in front of her, stretched out her arms involuntarily, pushed the person in front of her away and stepped back.
The panic and confusion from before were nowhere to be seen in those eyes, but now they were deserted and frosty, as well as the emotionless voice.
"Are you following me?"
Shen Jue did not reply to Bai Yu'an's words, but just held Bai Yu'an's wrist with his hand and pulled the person in front of him again.
The tall figure in black clothes looked particularly noble in the alley. With a pair of penetrating eyes, one could see the uneasiness deep in Bai Yuan's eyes at a glance.
He looked at Bai Yu'an quietly, pursed his lips and said, "I can make him disappear."
Bai Yu'an then looked at Shen Jue, his eyes were stunned, and it took him a long time before he uttered a voice: "What did you hear?"
Shen Jue raised his eyebrows and just looked at him without speaking, feeling the slight tremor on his wrist.
Bai Yu'an felt that his heart was slowly sinking, and unprecedented fatigue rose from the bottom of his heart.
She felt a little tired.
This identity made her unable to do what she wanted.
But he had to deal with it with all his energy, otherwise the next moment would be an abyss.
Seeing that Shen Jue was silent, Bai Yu'an was not sure what he heard. He calmed down his slightly panicked mind and said to Shen Jue, "Go out and talk."
Bai Yu'an said that he broke away from Shen Jue's hand, brushed his side and walked out of the alley.
On the other side of the alley stood a green man, looking towards Shen Jue with cold eyes.
Shen Jue glanced at him, and the cold oppression in his eyes made the face of the person opposite him change, and he turned around and returned to the yard.
After another glance at the closed courtyard door, Shen Jue turned around and followed Bai Yu'an.
After exiting the narrow alley, there is a slightly wider alley outside. There are not many people walking on the road. When passing by Bai Yu'an, I can't help but glance at her dirty clothes.
Bai Yu'an felt the slow footsteps behind him, and stopped when he reached a willow tree.
This place is a place with few people. The branches of the dense willow trees hang down, and two branches gently brush against Bai Yu'an's shoulders.
Seeing Bai Yu'an standing there looking over, Shen Jue slowly walked up to Bai Yu'an.
A dark shadow cast over him, and Bai Yu'an was silent for a long time before speaking in a low voice: "How much did Shen Shouxu listen to just now?"
As he spoke, Bai Yu'an raised his head and looked into Shen Jue's eyes.
Shen Jue's face was calm and calm. After hearing Bai Yu'an's words, she just said calmly: "I heard everything that should be heard."
These specious words made Bai Yuan's expression change instantly.
Shen Jue observed Bai Yu'an's expression, saw her slightly changed expression, and added: "Master Bai, do you still want to hide it?"
Bai Yu'an's heart beat violently, her fingers clenched in her palms, as if she was back to the time when she was seven years old and arguing with Gu Yiyi.
Her defense line was slowly collapsing, and she had to pretend to be calm when dealing with Shen Jue.
She is no longer the seven-year-old child she was then, who panicked and made big mistakes in a panic.
There was a long silence between the two, and Shen Jue waited patiently, not letting go of the slightest expression on Bai Yu'an's face.
Naturally, Shen Jue didn't hear what Bai Yu'an and the man said in the yard. When he came over, Bai Yu'an had already left the yard.
But it doesn't matter whether you heard it or not. At least Shen Jue heard what was said in the alley.
That person will make Bai Yuan uneasy for the rest of his life.
Shen Jue asked Bai Yu'an to tell him the truth.
Shen Jue looked at Bai Yu'an's expression and wondered what leverage that man had against Bai Yu'an.
Shen Jue once sent people to Shuyang to check Bai Yu'an inside and out. He has been known as the young master of the Bai family who knows books and observes etiquette since he was a child. He passed the boy smoothly.
Everyone who has seen him praises him, saying that Bai Silang, the county master's family, is a Wenqu star that fell from the sky, a noble man with a bright spring and white snow.
Shen Jue couldn't figure out what extraordinary leverage others had over such a person.
Can Bai Yu'an be like this.
Bai Yu'an recalled the scene where she was talking to Gu Yiyi in the courtyard just now. The door seemed to be open, and her back was facing the courtyard door, while Gu Yiyi was facing the door.
At that time, Gu Yiyi's threatening words in her ears were not serious, but Bai Yuan could not guarantee that Shen Jue really heard everything.
After thinking for a long time, Bai Yu'an looked at Shen Jue and said, "That is an old friend of mine. When I was a child, I did ridiculous things and accidentally caused people to fall into the water, which caused tragedy."
"It's my fault. He should hate me too."
This was half true and half false. Bai Yu'an tested Shen Jue to see if he had listened.
Who is Shen Jue? Bai Yuan can't compare to his thoughts. Even those old fools in the officialdom can't hide it from him. How can Bai Yuan's little thoughts be hidden from Shen Jue.
No matter how calm Bai Yuan's face was, no matter how well he hid his emotions, he was still young and lacked patience. Shen Jue could tell at a glance that he was not telling the truth.
