What's wrong with my mother adding special effects to my wife?

Shui Lian didn't know Wu Que didn't exist, but he didn't think Xiao Fangdao would lose.

But the suzerain agreed to the decisive battle right now, clearly because he had the idea of ​​perishing together.She wants to severely injure and even kill He Chengze in Pantianyuan under the jurisdiction of Lianyi, so as to deter the Wulin League, but she will also suffer in this battle, and she is already a useless person. Xu Chuilu does not know martial arts, Xuanjian and the accompanying disciples No more than a hundred people, if the Wulin League wants to make trouble, this number of people is no different from a mayfly shaking a tree.Even with the life and death certificates in front, it is impossible for Lianyi to let her kill and leave the villa intact.

It's just that I don't know what He Cheng is thinking. Compared with the suzerain, he has more concerns and should not act impulsively. Does he think he can beat the suzerain?

In any case, if it wasn't for the accident last night, the Sovereign would not have used this method.

This is all my fault.

As a result, his pale skin was covered with a layer of melancholy black mist, and under Xu Chuilu's gaze, he struggled to make a desperate expression similar to "I'm fine, I'm fine".

"..."

Xu Chuilu really didn't want to argue with him, because Shui Lian was the one who "didn't understand" about Xiao Fangdao and Wuque.She shook her head: "In that case, I'm leaving."

Hearing this, Shui Lian regained consciousness from her trance: "Miss Xu originally wanted to say something to me?"

"I asked, will you answer?"

"……certainly."

Xu Chuilu smiled slyly: "I just want to ask the question just now, what's wrong with their martial arts competition?"

Shui Lian lowered her eyes and sighed, "I'm afraid you're too worried."

"How do you know if you don't tell me?"

He froze for a moment, and confide in all his thoughts.

Xu Chuilu didn't show any surprise, and thought, "So you were worried that the suzerain would win."

"She won't lose."

"If the suzerain doesn't use Wuque, is she sure she can beat He Chengze?"

Shui Lian was startled: "What?"

Xu Chuilu said clearly: "So, compared to the suzerain, you actually believe in Wuque."

"I, when did I say that?" Shui Lian's eyes widened.

"You clearly hesitated just now." Xu Chuilu narrowed his eyes and said, "It's really strange, none of you have seen her perform Wuque, but she believes in this thing so much."

Shui Lian smiled wryly and said, "I can't help the suzerain now, it's not because I'm annoyed at the suzerain's decision... I just hate myself, and I definitely didn't mean to offend myself just now."

She was sour when she heard it, and quickly interrupted: "No, you are right. There are still many things I don't understand. For example, you just said that both sides of a master's confrontation are vulnerable, which means that victory or defeat is not guaranteed." Consistent with life and death?"

"For the suzerain, defeat is easy to hurt, and victory is easy to die. But if the two of them fight hard, it is hard to predict what accidents will happen. Even if I believe that the suzerain is undefeated, but facing He Cheng head-on, she will not be able to protect herself. Seriously injured. When the duel is over, it is time for life and death."

This is a very risky game for both parties. Since it is not a predetermined outcome, no matter what secret agreement the two have, as long as it is something that has not yet happened, there is room for change.

Xu Chuilu somehow understood Xiao Fangdao's decision.

Contrary to Shui Lian's conjecture, she didn't intend to win - she intended to lose.

If Xiao Fangdao loses, it will damage the myth of Wuque, and He Cheng's prestige will also increase a lot. This can also prove the "trick" Xiao Fangdao said. However, He Cheng allowed them to rest and recuperate here. Did Xiao Fangdao hurt his leader's face in front of everyone?

"okay, I get it."

"Miss Xu, you won't...Are you going to get involved in this matter?"

Xu Chuilu smiled and stood up: "Can I still stay out of it? You rest, I have to confirm another thing."

She closed the door and strode away.

There was no bloody and bitter smell outside the house, but she didn’t think it was easier to breathe here—she hadn’t yet reached the point where her chest was tight and short of breath because of this, but the sky was suddenly gloomy, and the air was damp, as if it was going to fall rain.The wet coldness made her tighten her collar and speed up her steps.

Cangwu's residence is not far from here, when she came to the courtyard, the other party was taking the firewood outside to the dining room.

Seeing someone visiting, Cang Wu temporarily put down the bundle of firewood, patted the dust off his palm, and greeted him, "Huh? Why are you here?"

She has a calm demeanor, not guilty at all, and Xu Chuilu has to admire her frankness, which is both true and false.

"How long is she left?"

Xu Chuilu chose to go straight to the point.

"What?" Cang Wu frowned.

"How long can Xiao Fangdao live?"

"Didn't I say that, she at least..."

"ten years?"

"Miss Xu—"

"Three or five years?"

Cang Wu's face turned blue: "You..."

"Isn't it a year or two?"

Cang Wu pressed his head: "No, oh...let's talk in the house."

Xu Chuilu stood motionless in the cold wind: "No."

"I can't judge lightly." Cang Wu looked at her, "For Xiao Fangdao, the length of life is not important. The real reason why medicine and stone are ineffective is not having the heart to survive."

……

The freezing rain is continuous, and it takes a while to soak out the water marks when it drips on the clothes. When it floats on the cheeks and forehead, it feels colder than wet. It seems that what falls is not soft rain, but fine and cold ice needles.

Xu Chuilu walked a hundred meters along the path, and finally tasted the rain.People do ignore changes in external objects when they are concentrating on deep thinking. When she wiped away a slippery itchy drop of water on her left cheek, her fingertips scratched a slightly heavy red mark on the flesh because of her random movements.The coolness relieved the pain a bit, she squinted her eyes, and when she looked up, she suddenly saw that the road had come to the end, and the guest room where she and Xiao Fangdao lived was not far ahead.

There was a man standing on the stone steps in front of the house—a very conspicuous man.

It's not that her figure and appearance are so outstanding that people can't look away from a distance, but that there is a layer of faint white mist covering her body, and the rain near her body is blocked from the mist, like a pressure. The scribbled ink that refuses to blend in on the map of listening to the rain in the mountain hut.

Xiao Fangdao used his internal force to disperse the drizzle, but he took an unopened umbrella in his hand—using the same action as holding a sword.

Seeing this scene, Xu Chuilu couldn't help but lose his voice.

If she didn't have that umbrella, who would have guessed that this guy was waiting for someone just by looking at her magical posture practicing in the rain?

She discovered that Xiao Fangdao actually often did unimaginable and absurd actions, but because of his martial arts status, others rarely reminded her, so she was able to maintain such pure faith.

Xu Chuilu sighed secretly, and decided to hurry over to end the other party's embarrassing wait.

Xiao Fangdao finally caught a glimpse of the person coming.

Her movements were faster than Xu Chuilu's, and she flew to her side in a split second, and sent the weight out of her hand.

Xu Chuilu held the green bamboo umbrella handle that was still warm, and fell into a momentary daze.

She glanced at Xiao Fangdao's cold side face, opened the umbrella, and held it above their heads with some difficulty, which made the scene not so strange.

"What is the suzerain doing outside?" Xu Chuilu asked knowingly.

"Practice."

really.

She was no longer angry, but instead had a sense of comprehension and complacency that she had successfully predicted the other party's answer.

Xiao Fangdao didn't feel that she was "duplicating the truth", she did come outside to try because of poor practice in the house, as for taking an umbrella to wait for someone, it was just a way, not the purpose.

Xu Chuilu smiled and said: "The suzerain is really diligent, is he preparing for that competition?"

"Ah."

"Is this necessary?" She said in surprise, "You are planning to lose to him. Could it be that the suzerain's martial arts are at their peak, and you need to practice even if you lose?"

Xiao Fangdao's gaze sharpened sharply: "You—"

"You want to die in this duel." Xu Cuilu did not give her a chance to refute, and said slowly and firmly, "You think this is a good opportunity to destroy Wuque, so you made the right decision. You said earlier that the five palms The door's countermeasure is to let you bring Wuque's secret into the mausoleum, but it doesn't say whether the "death" after you die is to die in a peaceful life or die suddenly."

"..."

"You think you won't live long, so it's better to end everything here." Xu Chuilu looked at her, "Is that so?"

Xiao Fangdao said coldly: "I hope you say this not just for your own cleverness."

"Thank you for the compliment." Her hand slid down a little, and the umbrella covered the two of them in a thicker and closer shadow, "I said this because I don't want you to die."

Xiao Fangdao was startled.

Her voice was close to her ears, so soft yet so clear, it was a cloud of mist that could not be pushed away, avoided, or evaporated.She didn't know that Xu Chuilu's words were wrapped in various emotions, but they were definitely not the flattery, hypocrisy, and awe she was familiar with.

"Then how are you going to persuade me?"

"How can I persuade you?" Xu Chuilu complained, "If you change your mind because of other people's words, will you still be like this?"

"..." Xiao Fangdao was rarely ridiculed like this, but right now he couldn't think of rebutting.

"Even if your parents are alive and your master is here, it may not be able to divert you." She said slowly, "Unless there is a better way—the solution to Wuque."

"Don't you have it?" Xiao Fangdao squinted his eyes.

"good."

Xiao Fangdao smiled lightly, apparently not taking it seriously: "Let's hear it."

"That can't be done." She raised her eyebrows and said, "This is my only bargaining chip, and I can only give it after I get what I need."

"what would you like?"

"First, whether you win or lose, you must live. Second, trust me."

Xiao Fangdao couldn't help laughing: "Who will answer such an outrageous request?"

Xu Chuilu said solemnly: "You'd better answer me. Your method is certainly reasonable, but it is based on the premise that He Chengze keeps his promise. After you die, it is up to him to decide whether there is nothing left or not? He has to When it comes to Wuque, it is possible to use this name for his own benefit. Even if he promises not to take action against the Unfeeling Sect for the time being, how long can he keep his promise to a dead person? Li Guanzhu asked you to abolish Ming Liguan and build the Unfeeling Sect, maybe not only It is for Wuque, and it is also for Lianyi Villa to be constrained."

"She does have that intention, it's just..."

"So you still have a lot to do, and now is definitely not a good time to die."

Xiao Fangdao bowed his head and saw the other party's dry, wrinkled and white lips due to the long talk. For a moment, he felt that he had caused a lot of trouble to the world and others for no reason, and it was the same in life and death.This is really... humbling.

She knew that the "method" that Xu Chuilu said was most likely just an excuse, a cover, a vague hope that left her with the idea of ​​survival.She said that her decision-making is based on believing in any success. Isn't Xu Chuilu's method the same?

What she wants is not even trust, but a more extravagant partial trust.

"I can't handle it."

In the end, Xu Chuilu got these four words.

"I knew it." She sneered, "How could the suzerain—"

"But I will try my best to protect myself." Xiao Fangdao said, "I don't want to die that much. Rather than trusting others, it is better to trust myself...and my sword."

Xu Chuilu's mood was ups and downs and twists and turns due to her words, and finally settled down after hearing this sentence.

This is enough.

It's such a simple thing, and it's an instinct that should be there without any reason, but it took so much effort for her to get a promise of "doing her best".Not knowing whether it was tears of joy or outburst of resentment, Xu Chuilu noticed that her vision was slightly blurred, and something warm and moist was about to leak from her eyes——

No, how could she cry in front of Xiao Fangdao? !

Panicked, she immediately threw up her sleeves and threw away her umbrella, hugging Xiao Fang's waist tightly with both hands, and buried her face in his shoulder.

Xiao Fangdao's limbs stiffened visibly to the naked eye, and even had no time to use his internal energy, so he could only let the rain hit his face.

"you……"

How could she suddenly make such an astonishing move? Could it be that she was trying to play tricks because she couldn't persuade her with good words?

"Why didn't you say it sooner? You actually asked me to hold up the umbrella for you for so long—" Xu Cuilu's voice of hatred, muffled in the cloth, complained from her left shoulder, "I, good, tired!"

...It was because of this.

Xiao Fangdao glanced down at the damaged paper umbrella on the ground, which was too fragile and light to be thrown away, and suddenly had a deeper understanding of Xu Chuilu's fragility.

So she raised her arms and gently hugged this charming woman who was too tired to hold an umbrella, and said comfortingly: "I'm sorry."

……

Not far away, Cang Wu, who was afraid that the two of them were newcomers and didn't know where to store umbrellas, specially brought an umbrella to each other: ... hiss.

The author has something to say: Xu: I saved my face tactfully.

Me: No, you didn't.
