Under the dim candlelight, a gust of night wind suddenly blew through, and the bone-chilling chill made Chu Qingxiao feel like he was in an ice cave.
The scene before me was strange.
Those withered peach trees seemed to be alive, and Chu Qingxiao could even vaguely hear bursts of wailing coming from the trunks of those dead trees.
This place, which Xiang An said was like his hometown, to Chu Qingxiao, was more like a purgatory filled with corpses.
Seeing that Chu Qingxiao was silent, Xiang An said again.
"Hey, look at me, I was too speculative when meeting you Qingxiao, and I even forgot about etiquette."
"It's getting late, hurry up and take a seat, let's start the banquet!"
After saying this with a smile, he reached out and pulled Chu Qingxiao to the rows of empty desks.
Chu Qingxiao glanced at the desks, thought for a moment, and then sat down on the desk next to him——
Although Xiang An's situation is strange, it is very possible that he has bad intentions.
But before finding out the details of the other party, Chu Qingxiao had to temporarily cooperate with Xiang An.
But before he could go there, Xiang An reached out and held him.
Chu Qingxiao was startled and turned his head to look at Xiang An.
Xiang An still had that bright smile on his face, and he said, "Qingxiao, have you forgotten?"
"Forgot something?" Chu Qingxiao asked in confusion, his eyes alert.
But Xiang An didn't seem to read Chu Qingxiao's hostility, and still smiled and said: "When we were in Wuling City, we made an agreement that you and I will share blessings and hardships in the future."
"Now that I am the peak master of Ganquan Peak, you are the elder of my Ganquan Peak who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people!"
"Come, sit with me!"
As he said that, he pulled Chu Qingxiao to the front seat, stretched out his hand without any explanation, and pressed Chu Qingxiao on the seat.
Lu Sandao saw this scene in his eyes. She silently walked to a desk below and sat down.
Seeing this, Xiang An was about to take a seat, but at this moment, he seemed to suddenly think of something and said, "Hey, look at my brain, there are still people who are not here."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and clapped his palms.
Snap.
Along with the crisp sound, figures walked out of the darkness on both sides of the yard.
This appearance was extremely sudden, without any warning, as if it appeared out of thin air.
Their movements were also extremely stiff, and the expressions on their faces were numb, like puppets on strings.
They came to their respective seats and sat down slowly, their movements almost synchronized.
Chu Qingxiao looked at those figures and swept his eyes over their bodies.
Zuo Chuanxin, Cao Lun, Tang Zhengde, and even Zhou Sheng, the guard of Ganquan Peak.
There are also many people whom Chu Qingxiao is familiar with but cannot name. They all seem to be people with real power in Ganquan Peak.
But now, the expressions on these people's faces are numb and empty, and their eyes have lost their sparkle.
Chu Qingxiao frowned and watched all this. The moment they sat down, his heart skipped a beat——
He couldn't feel any anger in the large group of people in front of him...
They are all dead!
"These are the pillars of our Ganquan Peak."
"But before that, they and I had some differences on some matters at Ganquan Peak."
Xiang An explained to Chu Qingxiao at this time: "But now these differences have been resolved."
Of course Chu Qingxiao knew what Xiang An meant by the so-called method of resolving differences, but he didn't know how to respond.
But Xiang An seemed to enjoy this one-man show where he was talking to himself.
He looked at Chu Qingxiao again and said, "By the way, there is another very important thing for Qingxiao to come here today."
After saying that, he looked in the direction of the main hall door.
The moment Xiang An glanced at the closed courtyard door, there was another roar, and the courtyard door was slowly opened.
"let me go!"
"You bastards!"
"let me go!"
"I'm going to kill you!"
From a distance, a group of people escorted one person and dragged a prison van in.
Before Chu Qingxiao could see the other party's appearance clearly, he heard a burst of angry curses.
When the group of people approached, Chu Qingxiao could see clearly the appearance of the person coming.
At the front of the team were two young Ganquan Peak disciples. The expressions on their faces were also numb and hollow, not like strangers.
And the person they escorted was none other than Zhou Ling'er.
At this moment, Zhou Ling'er was wearing beautiful clothes, and even had exquisite makeup on her face, but her face was full of anger. As she walked, she cursed at the two people behind her, and tried to break free, but it was obviously not her. The opponents of those two.
At the back of the team, there was a prison car, which was pushed forward slowly by several people. In the prison car, there was a man covered in wounds, it was Lu Qi!
Soon, they brought Zhou Linger to Xiang An and Chu Qingxiao.
Facing her former lover, Zhou Ling'er lost the joy of the past. She looked at Xiang An with fear in her eyes, as if he was a terrifying evil ghost.
Xiang An stood up and said to Chu Qingxiao with a smile.
"Qingxiao."
"This is Ling'er, you've seen it before!"
"I asked you to come today not only to get together, but also to witness my engagement ceremony with Ling'er."
"Ling'er and I have known each other since childhood and have already understood each other's feelings..."
Xiang An had a happy smile on his face and introduced Chu Qingxiao enthusiastically.
"I won't marry you!"
"Xiang An! Stop dreaming!"
But before Xiang An finished speaking, Zhou Linger interrupted him loudly.
Zhou Ling'er's face was filled with excitement and her eyes were red: "Kill Senior Brother Zuo! Kill Elder Tang!"
"You also killed my grandfather!"
"The entire Ganquan Peak was destroyed by you alone!"
"You are a devil! I, Zhou Linger, will never be with you even if I die."
How much Zhou Ling'er liked Xiang An in the past, now she hates the man in front of her.
She looked at Xiang An with uncontrollable fear in her eyes, but at the same time, she was also filled with anger and resentment that was almost solidified.
Xiang An paused, but soon a smile filled his face. He turned back to look at Zhou Ling'er, with a gentle look in his eyes and reached out to touch Zhou Ling'er's cheek.
But as soon as his fingertips touched Zhou Ling'er, he ducked away with a look of disgust.
This move did not make Xiang An feel dissatisfied at all. He said in a gentle tone: "Ling'er, what nonsense are you talking about? Aren't they all alive?"
"Look at Master sitting there, he agrees to our marriage."
Xiang An said and pointed at Zhou Sheng, who was sitting under the stage with dull eyes.
"Pooh!"
But Zhou Ling'er cursed: "I saw you kill my grandfather with my own eyes. He was just a puppet controlled by you!"
"Xiang An, if you deceive your master and destroy your ancestors, you will die badly!"
Xiang An's brows finally furrowed, and he gently shook his extended hand.
A stream of black divine turbid water gushes out from his sleeves, sealing Zhou Ling'er's mouth tightly. Zhou Ling'er can only make bursts of whining sounds, unable to continue her curses.
"Ling'er has some misunderstandings about me, which makes you laugh, Qingxiao." Xiang An turned to look at Chu Qingxiao and said.
When Chu Qingxiao heard this, he reached for the wine bottle on the table and poured himself a glass of wine.
Then, he turned to look at Xiang An, his eyes pitying and uttered his first words after entering the courtyard.
He asked: "Brother Xiang."
"You're deceiving yourself like this."
"Does it make sense?"
