The night is quiet, and the clouds cover the moon.
Jiang Yuebai returned from his inspection and went straight to Song Pei'er's house. When he arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw Lu Ying leaning against the wall of the empty house, her face pale and her eyes empty.
"Lu Ying, what's wrong with you?"
When Jiang Yuebai walked over, Lu Ying trembled all over and retreated as if frightened.
"Don't come here!"
Jiang Yuebai paused and stood looking at Lu Ying from a distance, "What happened? Why can't you just explain it to me directly? I can help you, Lu Ying."
Lu Ying's eyes were drooped and tears welled up. She didn't dare to look at Jiang Yuebai's gaze, "Help me? Even gods can't help me. You're nothing! Are you self-righteous and the inner disciples are great? Help me? Ridiculous!"
Jiang Yuebai frowned, "Lu Ying, you have provoked me with words again and again, just because you want me to leave, but I am no longer the impulsive and irritable Jiang Yuebai I used to be. If you have something to hide, you only need to look at me." good."
Lu Ying clenched her fists tightly, digging her nails into her flesh, struggling internally.
In the end, she still didn't look up.
"Okay, if you don't tell me, I'll ask Song Pei'er."
Jiang Yuebai's attitude was resolute and he walked away, passing by Lu Ying.
"She's dying!"
Lu Ying turned around and called to Jiang Yuebai, then slowly raised her head.
Their eyes met, and tears welled up in Lu Ying's eyes. Under the surge, she was filled with struggle and fear. Her face became paler and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Jiang Yuebai looked at her, her lips trembling, and she opened her mouth several times before squeezing out a pleading from her throat.
"do not go……"
Jiang Yuebai's eyes flashed slightly, he avoided Lu Ying's gaze first, lowered his eyes and scanned the ground, and chuckled.
"So you don't want me to see how miserable she was before she died, to save her some face, right? It doesn't matter, I'll go see her, maybe I can cure her."
Lu Ying shook her head vigorously, but Jiang Yuebai didn't look at her, turned around and left.
Lu Ying caught up two steps and watched Jiang Yuebai walk towards Song Pei'er's yard. Her heart was filled with complicated emotions. She wanted to call her out, but she could no longer muster the courage.
Even, there was a sense of relief.
"Lu Ying, you are a bastard, you are a bastard..."
Lu Ying fell to the ground, her shoulders shook violently, she covered her mouth and burst into tears.
＊
Pushing open the courtyard door, Jiang Yuebai walked in and looked around the surrounding courtyard walls.
She recalled that year, she and Lu Ying were playing with mud, covering their heads and faces, and plastering the wall while playing.
Song Pei'er was just like an ordinary mother. She scolded them for soiling their clothes and made custard for them both.
Before leaving, Song Pei'er gave her a basket of eggs and asked her to take them back to replenish her grandfather's health.
The past events are vivid in my mind, but now the cracks in the wall are dilapidated and no one has repaired them.
"Is it Yuebai girl? Come in and talk, cough, cough, cough."
Song Pei'er's old and tired voice came from inside. Jiang Yuebai walked in but did not see Song Pei'er. He walked through the front room to the backyard and saw the wooden door of the cellar lifted.
"Ying'er's birthday is coming soon, cough. She likes to drink the fruit wine I brew, but it's too dark in the cellar. Girl Yuebai, come down and help me move the wine jar. cough, cough, cough, okay?"
"Just come."
Jiang Yuebai took off the cold jade pendant, stuffed a pill into his sleeve, and walked slowly into the cellar.
boom!
The door of the cellar suddenly closed, and no lights were lit in the dark room. Song Pei'er was still dressed as a young woman in a cherry-pink dress, sitting upright on the imperial chair in the middle.
A glimmer of light flashed from everywhere, and there was a smell of wine in the smell of decay.
Jiang Yuebai covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves, her throat moved slightly, and she walked slowly towards Song Pei'er.
"Senior Sister Song, what do you mean?"
The cellar has been sealed by a large formation, and the smoke from the incense burner next to her is curling up, which is not easy.
"Ahem, as you can see, I'm about to die."
Jiang Yuebai stood opposite her from a distance, "So you want to ask me for your last words?"
"Ha~" Song Pei'er said with a contemptuous smile, "I'm afraid it's you who should give your last words. There is a dream in my incense burner. Even if you are a foundation-building monk, you can't resist it. Ordinary detoxification pills won't have any effect."
Jiang Yuebai frowned for a moment, nodded slightly and said, "It's really powerful. I can no longer mobilize my spiritual energy and my body is weak."
"Aren't you afraid?" Song Pei'er was surprised. Jiang Yuebai acted very calmly, without any nervousness or fear.
"If I'm afraid, I won't come in."
Song Pei'er narrowed her eyes, "So you knew what I was going to do but still came in voluntarily? Ying'er has made a good friend!"
Jiang Yuebai's legs became weak and she took a few steps back to lean on the wine jar, "Lu Ying gave me spring in March, and I will give her peach blossoms in April. She deserves it."
"You are so worthy that you don't even care about your life? Tao Fengnian really taught a good boy who knows how to repay kindness!"
"Don't mention my grandpa. Saying his name from your mouth makes me sick!" Jiang Yuebai responded with a cold look.
"In the past, I didn't know why grandpa was always on guard against you and indifferent to you, and wouldn't even accept the eggs you gave me. Now it seems that grandpa has a sharp eye and he knew you were evil-minded!"
Song Pei'er sneered disdainfully, "What's the use of talking so much? Now he's dead and I'm alive! If he can be as vicious as me and take you away early, wouldn't it be a great future?"
Jiang Yuebai sat on the ground, her whole body limp and weak, "My grandfather is naturally different from you. Even to the last moment, he never had the intention of taking my body. Lu Ying has taken care of you these years, you are serious about her." Don’t you have any gratitude or true feelings?”
"She takes care of me? I have been taking care of her! She eats and drinks from me, and her cultivation relies on my guidance. Without me, where would she be today? Of course, even if she has a dog by her side, she will still have some feelings."
"If I hadn't been seriously injured by Xiao Ankuo and had no other options, I wouldn't have taken her away. In the final analysis, all this is because of Tao Fengnian. He owes me. I just want to live. What's wrong with me!"
Jiang Yuebai raised his head and looked over, "Okay, since my grandfather owes you, I will pay it back today. No matter how you threaten Lu Ying, let her go and I will let you take her."
Song Pei'er looked at her defensively, "Are you really so kind?"
"How can a beast like you understand the thoughts of people like me and grandpa?"
Song Pei'er coughed violently, "Ahem, actually, you are not my best choice either."
"What else do you want?" Jiang Yuebai was alert.
Song Pei'er looked at Jiang Yuebai, her eyes and tone full of temptation.
"You have five spiritual roots and have been blessed with great luck to become an inner disciple. The journey has been extremely difficult. Are you really willing to be replaced by me?"
Song Pei'er propped herself up and moved closer, "I heard that you and Lu Nanzhi are close friends. As long as you bring her here to help me seize her, I can let you go."
"If you don't want to see me then, I will leave Tianyan Sect. If you can accept it, I can stay as the Lu family's genius. How about becoming your supporter in the future?"
Jiang Yuebai was so sick that she rolled inside, "You are greedy and wishful thinking!"
Song Pei'er narrowed her eyes dangerously, "It seems that you don't want to. In that case, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. Your spiritual roots are a bit weak, but your cultivation speed is not inferior to Lu Nanzhi and others. You must have a secret. Wait. I take you away, and everything you have is mine."
As soon as the words fell, Song Pei'er saw that the time was ripe and Jiang Yuebai was no longer able to struggle, so she immediately started the battle array that had been prepared in the cellar.
Red light lit up from Song Pei'er's feet and quickly traveled on the ground to form strange runes.
Song Pei'er stood up slowly, her face illuminated by the red light, which was hideous and terrifying.
The runes took shape, the red light gathered a little, and rushed towards Jiang Yuebai.
Jiang Yuebai suddenly raised his head and let the red light pierce his eyebrows, his eyes shining brightly.
"If you want to die, I will make it happen for you!"
Song Pei'er's soul left her body and crashed into Jiang Yue's white sea of consciousness. She saw thunder and lightning in the sky, heavy snow raging, a green lantern hanging above the plump ears of wheat, phosphorus fire surging, and a tiger looking at her with eager eyes!
"No!!!"
The shrill screams, mixed with regret, resounded through the depths of the sea of consciousness, and were exquisitely beautiful.
