Disciple's rebellion

wood?

Ning Jie was really taken aback.

After recognizing Du Cheng just now, Gao Long's reaction was not like Wu Yan's ruthlessness towards Du Cheng, on the contrary, it was even deeply rooted in love.

After thinking about it for a while, Ning Jie finally felt that Wu Yan might have feelings for Du Cheng, but since she grew up in the deep house of the Du family, she could naturally see the high hopes that the Du family had placed on Du Cheng.

Du Cheng is an independent individual, without the seven emotions and six desires, it is impossible.

Wu Yan might have been tempted too, but if Du Chenggen was flat, maybe the old lady of the Du family wouldn't stop her.

Unfortunately, it is God's will.

Du Cheng is the only descendant of the Du family who has been comparable to the Du family's patriarch in the past century.

Therefore, even if he liked it, Wu Yan pretended not to know what Du Cheng wanted.

She knew that the Du family would never allow Du Cheng to distract himself.

Therefore, it is better to end this relationship from the beginning than to have a miserable ending.

Just when Ning Jie was distracted, Du Cheng, who was in a coma, suddenly yelled: "Ayan!"

The butler immediately silenced, walked towards Du Cheng hurriedly, took his pulse, and went to check his physical condition.

After a while, the butler's face became very ugly.

Du Cheng also coughed up blood before, but his condition was not so bad. Generally, as long as the medicine is fed in, the body will slowly recover by itself.

But today, it shows signs of decline.

Du Cheng's complexion visibly weakened.

This situation should be trying to keep Du Cheng's physical strength, but Du Cheng is completely emotional at this moment.

He was muttering: "Ah... Yan... Ah Yan..."

The tears flowing from the end of the eyes were like ice melting, and there was no way to stop them.

Seeing this, Mi Chen walked over immediately, helped Du Cheng up, and slowly sent spiritual power into his body.

Ning Jie also wanted to go over to help, but Mi Chen said: "He can't accept your spiritual power. Ah Jie, take out the elixir made by your uncle and give it to him."

Ning Jie was stunned for a moment, and then according to Mi Chen's words, he took out the red pill made by Guijing from the spirit bag, crushed it and gave it to Du Cheng to swallow.

Mi Chen used the medicine to slowly heal Du Cheng's internal injuries.

After a cup of tea, Mi Chen collected his spiritual power to help Du Cheng lie down.

Seeing this, the butler wanted to step forward to check on the situation of the head of his family, but before he could take the step, he was stopped by Ning Jie.

Ning Jie's cheeks were against the light, and the housekeeper couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

I just heard him say in a low and deep voice: "It's not over yet."

It's not over.

Mi Chen helped Du Cheng lie down on the soft bed, while he sat beside him, reaching out his hand to inject a wave of spiritual power into his forehead.

While typing, he said: "Du Qingdiao, you didn't protect Wu Yan when you were alive, and you won't be able to get her body back after she dies, causing her to be in deep pain during life and after death. Du Qingdiao, if you And she, climb up like a man! If you cowardly, Hongmeng subverts, you will never even think about seeing her again!"

These words seemed to touch the depths of Du Cheng's soul, he opened his eyes and jumped up from the couch, and shouted "Ayan" heart-piercingly.

After shouting, Du Cheng spat out a breath of blood and passed out again.

Ning Jie clenched his fists tightly, and then slowly released them.

He stepped back a few steps to the side and asked the housekeeper to check on Du Cheng's situation.

Seeing Mi Chen approaching, Ning Jie walked a few steps towards him and said, "Master, are you alright?"

Mi Chen said indifferently: "It's a trivial matter, it's okay." After finishing speaking, he turned his eyes to look at the two lying limp, and said, "These two people," he turned his gaze back to Ning Jie, and said: "During this time, the two of them are handed over to you."

Ning Jie immediately replied: "Yes, Master."

Perhaps it was Mi Chen's words that really stimulated Du Cheng, and Du Cheng's spiritual energy rampage, who was originally destined to be close to Boshan, eased a lot.

Later, after waking up, although Du Cheng's spirit was not as high as when he first met, he was also a little more bloody than when he was in a coma.

Because Guijing's medicine needs to be activated with spiritual power, Gao Long and Du Cheng's medicine has always been handed over to Ning Jie.

Of course, this is not the only reason, but also the desire to detect the blood in the two of them through spiritual power transmission.After all, their purpose is to solve Shangdang Gushan and find out who is the one who is in collusion with the demons.

Mozun's petty actions for so many years, so ready to move in the human world, there must be a bigger conspiracy behind it.

Like Mi Chen's starting point, Ning Jie also planned to start with the relationship between Du Cheng and Wu Yan.

Due to the injury with Du Cheng before, Ning Jie kept quiet these few days and never asked about the direct and complicated relationship between the three of them.

Now that Du Cheng's injury has healed, it happened that Du Cheng asked him to go to the peach blossoms early in the morning to collect the rainwater from last night. While delivering the water, Ning Jie planned to find out what Du Cheng said about Shangdanggushan.

No matter whether this matter has anything to do with Du Cheng or not, Du Cheng's side is undoubtedly the only clue.

When Ning Jie arrived at Du Cheng's room, he was sitting by the window wearing a crane cloak that he only wore in winter, his eyes looked over the magnolia in front of the window pavilion, and looked at the peach blossoms in the distance that could not exceed the magnolia no matter how long it was.

Hearing the creaking sound of pushing the door, Du Cheng's still eyes moved slightly.

Du Cheng looked at Ning Jie, and said without any ups and downs in his tone: "You're here."

Ning Jie handed over the water minister to Du Cheng, looked at Du Cheng and said, "Yes. You have recovered well recently, but you should talk less."

Du Cheng's voice has been hoarse since he coughed up blood, and the unhealed heart disease is completely present in his voice at this moment.

Du took over the water Cheng and put it on the wooden board in front of the window.After putting it away, he leaned back slightly, and continued to look at the peach blossoms in the distance that were hit by the rain last night.

Ning Jie also took advantage of the situation to look over, through the cracked ice window, his eyes fixed on the scarred and faded peach blossom like Du Cheng's.

Ning Jie looked at Peach Blossom, and said softly, "Your utensils are special, and your windows are special." He slowly put his eyes on Du Cheng, and continued, "Peach Blossom is also special."

Du Cheng curled his lips lightly, and a trace of nostalgia floated in his eyes: "I loved poetry when I was young, but I have been struggling with cultivation, so I have never been able to get it. Although I write poetry, I don't pay much attention to the stationery."

His gaze also slowly retracted from the distant flower tree and placed on the water cheng, his eyes were a little divergent, maybe he was caught in memories, and his face was stained with a bit of bitterness.

Du Cheng said softly: "The first time I saw Ah Yan was under the peach blossom tree. She poured her spiritual power into the carving knife and carefully carved the stone in her hand. Only then did I know that the stone that holds the research ink , not just any porcelain bowl, but a water bowl."

The breeze rises, and the peach blossoms fall.

When the light of noon shines on the girl's focused face through the branches and leaves, the boy has something on his mind.

This feeling is like the water droplets in the water chamber on the smooth and flat inkstone. It seems that there is no change, but it takes away a trace of ink, forming a slight wear and tear.

It's as if the heart is falling into it.

Du Cheng's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he also came out of his memories.

He looked up at Ning Jie and said, "Are you here because you suspect that I killed Ah Yan?"

Even though Du Cheng was reluctant, he had dealt with all the great immortal sects for the sake of the Du family, and he was somewhat clear about the people's hearts among them.

Unlike the housekeeper, Du Cheng just thought that they came to Du's mansion to find out about Wu Yan's past, but understood in an instant that they suspected that he had killed Wu Yan.

Ning Jie did not evade, and replied: "Yes." He fixedly looked at Du Cheng's drooping face, and continued: "But you?"

Du Cheng twitched the corner of his mouth, he raised his head and looked at the flower tree.

He closed his eyes, hiding his emotions.

After a long time, the voice came faintly from the memory.

Du Cheng opened his eyes and said in a daze: "I'm not a saint. I hated her when I could never get her heart. I hated my ancestors for thousands of generations, I hated Steward Wu, and even Ah Yan. I hated her." These are the things that prevent me from getting Ah Yan."

"I even thought about it, just kill her with a sword, and then kill myself. If I don't get this person's heart, I will let the blood on her body not remove my traces."

Ning Jie looked at Du Cheng quietly, and after hearing what he said, he took a few steps forward, looked at the faded peach blossoms through the carefully carved flower window, and said in a calm voice: "I am afraid that the terrible love will be even worse." Not good enough for Miss Wu Yan."

As he spoke, Ning Jie lowered his eyebrows and set his eyes on the delicate and crystal clear water.

Ning Jie raised his hand and put his fingertips under the water cheng, the spirit strip came out from the wide sleeve and wrapped around Ning Jie's wrist until it reached his fingertips.

Peach leaves drilled out of the gap and stretched out immediately.

When the peach leaf touched the transparent outer wall, a long-condensed drop of water flowed along the veins of the leaf and slipped into the entangled spirit whip.

He has never met Wu Yan, but he knows that he has seen Wu Yan in the eyes of Du Cheng and Gao Long.

She is like the water cheng in front of the window, if you put flower branches on it, it will dissipate a little bit of caress.

She should be like the luxuriant purple cloud in the courtyard, an elegant bone that can't be broken by the wind and snow.

Blooming in the hearts of the two will never fade.

Ning Jie withdrew his hand, put it behind his back, and turned to look at Du Cheng.

Looking back at that moment, the peachy face behind him suddenly became more beautiful.

Suddenly, Du Cheng seemed to see Wu Yan.

Back then, under the same clouds, he squeezed Wu Yan's shoulders, and asked with red eyes: "Ayan, elope with me, we don't care about these, okay?"

Wu Yan looked indifferently at Du Cheng who was on the verge of losing control.

After a long time, she raised her hand to touch Du Cheng's brow, and said softly: "Young master, you are a person who is gradually fainting. Young master, you can put me anywhere, and I will wait for you for three years. After three years, Yu Zhou Fife, dawn buds, I'll wait for you with broken branches."

A teardrop moistened Du Cheng's eyelids.A line of clear tears left a trace on the white jade face.

Du Cheng wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingertips, and said, "Yes, I am even more unworthy of Ah Yan."

Ning Jie frowned slightly, and said: "Since you are so affectionate, the three-year period has passed, and the Phoenix Thorn has entered the right way, why do you let Miss Wu Yan down again?"

Du Cheng laughed at himself, "Did Gao Long tell you that?"

Du Cheng sighed, with a smirk on his face: "I didn't expect that the only person whom Ah Yan loved would think that Ah Yan loved me."

I really don't know if it's a satire on him or a compliment.

He can even make the person Ah Yan likes jealous.

Ning Jie was a little startled, but on second thought, it would be even more shocking if Du Cheng was always in the heart of a woman who could spend her whole life with Gao Long.

At the same time, there is some enlightenment.

They fell into a misunderstanding, always thinking that it was Wu Yan who was unforgettable, and Wu Yan was the one who was forced to let go.

But it's actually the opposite.

From the very beginning, it was Du Cheng who never thought of letting go. It was Du Cheng who was struggling, not Wu Yan.

But he also wondered.

Since Wu Yan never loved Du Cheng, why did he agree to the three-year agreement.

Moreover, when Du Cheng had the idea of ​​elopement with Wu Yan, why didn't the Du family just kill Wu Yan and get rid of this blocking stone on Du Chengxiu's road.

Even though Du Cheng is the future head of the Du family, as long as he is not the head of the Du family, the older generation will always have the means to get rid of Wu Yan.

So, is Du Cheng really protecting Wu Yan very well, or... because of other reasons, Wu Yan can't die.

Seeing Du Cheng staring at him, Ning Jie calmly told Du Cheng the problem.

If it was normal, Du Cheng would be amazed by Ning Jie's move.

However, now his entire emotions are on Wu Yan, and he has no thought at all for Ning Jie.

Du Cheng clenched his hands tightly, and said: "She is indeed waiting for me during the three-year agreement, but she is not waiting for me to come and marry her."

Instead,

Waiting for Du Cheng to understand.

When Du Cheng understands, he is not in love with her.

His liking for her was nothing but evasion and cowardice using her as an excuse.

She used her as an excuse to rebel against the Du family.

"As for why those elders didn't attack Ah Yan," Du Cheng said ironically on his dull face, "That's because of my mother."

Mrs. Du could tell from the beginning that her son liked Wu Yan, but Du Chengyin didn't take the initiative to mention it, so she didn't notice it.

As life went on like this, Du Cheng's feelings for Wu Yan accumulated in his heart became deeper and deeper, and when she even hindered her practice, she didn't have a direct conflict with her son, but let the head of the Du family come and attack him sideways.

Unexpectedly, the patriarch was impatient and directly hurt Wu Yan.Du Cheng was enraged and hurt him.

The patriarch was furious and directly threatened that Wu Yan would never be allowed to enter the gate of Du's house.

Du Cheng had dealt with the patriarch since he was a child, and he knew that he had hurt the patriarch's face. Since then, although his words were spoken in anger, they must not be changed.

From this, Du Cheng had the idea of ​​elopement.

Mother Du saw that the situation was getting worse, so she couldn't hide behind the patriarch anymore.

She stood up and told Du Cheng that she agreed with Wu Yan to enter Du's house.

Three letters and six appointments, a beautiful marriage.

He also personally visited Du Wu's famous masters, and asked to write makeup poems to give Wu Yan enough face.

Du Cheng's fingers curled up, and he said with a wry smile: "My mother deserves to see me as an adult since I was a child. She can feel my thoughts clearly."

Let the patriarch stop him at the beginning, because he knew that Du Cheng, as the heir of the Du family, would never give up the responsibility entrusted to him by the Du family.

That's why Du Cheng hides his feelings for Wu Yan.

When she asked the patriarch to come forward, she reminded Du Cheng that the future of the entire Du family was on his shoulders.

He should understand how important a woman is compared to the future of the family!

But I didn't expect Du Cheng to be unwilling. He wanted to marry Wu Yan as his wife, and he wanted to treat her well.

Du Cheng's madness means that this trick will not work.

But Du's mother knew Du Cheng.

This is just his resistance to hurting Wu Yan. As long as she promises to treat Wu Yan well and promise Du Cheng to marry Wu Yan, Du Cheng will calm down.

As long as he thinks of the responsibilities on his shoulders, he feels guilty and will devote himself to cultivation for a long time to come.

As a result, Wu Yan, a roadblock, became a stepping stone on Du Cheng's road.

The sarcasm on Du Cheng's face gradually turned into bitterness: "Men are like this. Once there is a slight compromise, they want to have both. But there is no way to have both. There are only two things that you can't have at the same time."

Mother Du took advantage of Du Cheng's desire to have both, to completely push Wu Yan out of Du Cheng's life.

Because she knows that Wu Yan doesn't love Du Cheng, as long as Wu Yan is released, Wu Yan is destined not to belong to Du Cheng.

It is absolutely impossible for Du Cheng to rob other people's wives.

In this way, Du Cheng's next path, as long as the Du family has set up the way of cultivating immortals for him.

Speaking of this, Du Cheng's mood couldn't stop being disturbed when he thought of Wu Yan's death and the fact that his body was robbed to Shangdang Mountain.

"Wow."

Du Cheng spit out a mouthful of blood again.

Ning Jie hastily input spiritual power to probe Du Cheng's pulse.

——Du Cheng's pulse showed faint traces of madness!

Ning Jie took out the elixir from the spiritual bag, fed it to Du Cheng, and said, "You take the medicine first, and I will go find Master to heal your wounds."

But without realizing it, Du Cheng tightly held Ning Jie's wrist, and said, "I didn't save Ah Yan's body, I won't go back to the demon and die suddenly."

Ning Jie frowned and said, "You..."

Du Cheng shook his head, his gaze firm.

Ning Jie said: "Why?"

Du Cheng frowned tightly because of the pain, and set his eyes on the blood-stained Shui Cheng.

He smiled bitterly and said, "I have to have a pain."

Du Cheng tightened Ning Jie's wrist, and said with a wry smile, "I've been holding back all my life, just to be able to stay with Ah Yan in the end. But, I ended up in this situation."

Saying this, the corners of Du Cheng's eyes turned red, and the tears made them more colorful and bitter.

Du Cheng laughed at himself with tears in his eyes: "Ning Jie, as long as I think of Ah Yan's body in Shangdang Mountain, I can't help but regret it. Thinking of the past, I also regret my selfishness. I feel pain. Ah, if it doesn't hurt, how can I vent this regret!"

Du Cheng couldn't help sobbing and said, "I really, really regret it!"

I regret that I shouldn't have forbeared.

If I had known today, I should have shown my heart to the girl I love and let her know that I love her.

I used to always think that I would marry Ah Yan into the house, so I kept my secrets and didn't explain them, and everything had meaning.

But... the girl I love has never seen my heart until she died.

I knew so!

I should use all the power I have to pamper her and love her, and not let her suffer the slightest grievance from my family.

Life is so short and emotions are so dull, why did I wrong her and myself!

Since we are doomed to separate, what I leave to her should be my vigorous love for her, not a wavering selfishness!

I should tell her that I like you, not to shirk responsibility and find another solace, but the youthful thoughts that sprouted in my heart when the peach blossoms fell in my heart!

Ah Yan,

You know,

I met you,

my love for you,

Prior to feeling oppressed by the burden.

Because I never thought about it—to give up, to fight against the burden on me!

I'm just in love with you!

I should,

really should,

When the flower falls on your forehead,

go forward,

Pull you into my arms, and kiss your white hair through the petals.

I want the world to know that I, Du Cheng, Du Qingdiao, love Wu Yan without any impurities.

This love is like the water in the water, not to be played with, not to be entertained!

At the place where the emotion was intense, Du Cheng once again spit out another mouthful of blood.

Ning Jie had no choice but to help Du Cheng up, took out the Transformation Bead borrowed from Wang Yi, conveyed spiritual power, and helped Du Cheng carry his kung fu.

Du Cheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, sat on a chair, and began to adjust the disordered spiritual power in his body.

The spiritual power of the Ning class is strong, but after the transformation beads, the original majestic spiritual power has become much thinner.

Fortunately, for Du Chenglai, it was enough.

After a while, the spiritual power in Du Cheng's body was calmed down.

Ning Jie put away the Transformation Orb and probed Du Cheng's spiritual vein again.

Seeing that her spiritual power had completely calmed down, Ning Jie withdrew her hand, exposing the fingertips of her side hand, on which was a blooming peach blossom.

Ning Jie handed the flowers to Du Cheng, who was stunned, and said, "Master Du, I hope that, as you said, you can take good care of your body before the issue of Shangdang is resolved."

Du Cheng took the peach blossom carefully.

He lightly touched the petals with his fingertips, and the water droplets condensed on the petals flowed into the stamens.

The flowers and leaves are rustling, like a beloved girl lowering her eyebrows and smiling brightly.

Du Cheng closed his eyes and gently kissed the peach blossom.

At the same time, a tear ran down his cheek.

Ning Jie sighed secretly in his heart, turned around and prepared to leave, and let Du Cheng calm himself down.

But his wrist was grabbed by Du Cheng again.

Ning Jie looked back at Du Cheng.

Du Cheng opened his eyes, and there was a clear sense of a certain emotion in his eyes.

At this moment, the young man under the flower tree coincided with the embarrassed Du Cheng.

They seemed to be alone, but also seemed to be separated. They raised their eyes and said in unison: "Ning Jie, don't be me."

Must not!

Can't be the second Du Cheng!
