Chapter 648: Sisi's Emotional Farewell to Xuanying (Part )
Xuanying returned to the pine and bamboo garden. Sisi was already sitting on the small stone table in front of the house, waiting for him. As the night deepened, the pine and bamboo in the garden swayed gently in the breeze, making rustling sounds, as if whispering. Sisi's figure looked particularly gentle in the moonlight. She kept her eyes fixed on the direction of the garden gate until Xuanying appeared in her sight.
Sisi stood up and said softly, "You're back."
Xuanying saw the concern in her eyes, and was touched, so he smiled at her. Although his smile was light, it was full of fatigue and heaviness.
Sisi keenly noticed the change in his mood, and her heart tightened, but she didn't ask any more questions. She just gently took his arm and walked into the house with him.
The two entered the house, and after closing the door, Xuanying lit another candle. The air immediately filled with the aroma of burning fire. The flickering candlelight reflected on the simple furniture in the house, making it seem particularly warm.
Xuanying is already a general of Jinyang City. Not only does he directly command an army of more than 8,000 people, he can also control the other four Jinwei armies. His status is very prominent.
But his pine and bamboo garden was built in a rather shabby way. It turned out that at the beginning of the construction, Zhao Xiantong also intended to make it as luxurious and exquisite as possible, but was rejected by Xuanying. The style and layout of the houses in the garden were roughly based on the appearance of his own home on Lixuan Island.
Even the furniture and furnishings in the house were built according to the home in his memory. Including such trivial things as only lighting one candle in a room. Xuanying's thoughts could not help but drift back to Lixuan Island, the place where he grew up. The customs and people on the island, the voices and smiles of his family, seemed to be right in front of him. He sighed softly, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.
Seeing that he looked dazed, Sisi asked softly, "What are you thinking about?"
Xuanying came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "Nothing, I just remembered some past events."
Sisi nodded and did not continue to ask. She knew that Xuanying had many unspeakable secrets in his heart, and she did not want to force him, so she just stayed by his side silently.
After a moment, Sisi said, "I also saw what happened in Qingyang Palace. I didn't expect your friend Chu Xiaomu to be so powerful. You...you are not injured, right?"
Xuan Ying shook his head and said, "Most of his original force was used to deal with Master, and only 40% was used to attack me."
"I tried to assassinate him on the first night they arrived in Jinyang City, but he knocked me down with one move. I knew then that he was an extremely powerful master. But I didn't expect him to be this powerful. He seems to be as good as the Venerable."
"He knocked you down? Why didn't you tell me?" Xuanying frowned.
Seeing his grim expression, Sisi said quickly, "Don't worry, he didn't hurt me, he just used a 'Soul Locking Seal' similar to your second brother's to restrain me." She smiled again and continued, "If I go to assassinate him, do I not allow others to fight back?"
"Why did you kill him for no reason?"
"Who told him to ask everyone on the street where you live? I thought he wanted to harm you."
Xuanying was touched, but he didn't know what to say. He knew that Sisi had always cared about his safety, and even risked her life to assassinate Chu Xiaomu. This friendship made him feel warm, but he also knew that Sisi's move was too risky. If Chu Xiaomu didn't know how to handle it, the consequences would be disastrous. By then, his brotherhood with Chu Xiaomu would no longer exist.
Seeing his grim expression, Sisi knew that he was sad because of the battle with Chu Xiaomu, so she had to persuade him: "You knelt down and begged your master at that time, and he saw it too. He should understand your difficulties..."
Xuanying suddenly remembered something and asked, "Sisi, what is the meaning of 'the god lights up the auspicious light'?" Knowing that she probably didn't know, he continued, "Please ask grandma for me when you go back. She's older, so she should know."
Sisi blushed slightly and said, "It just so happens that I also know this. No need to go back and ask grandma."
Xuanying asked hurriedly: "What is that?"
Sisi said, "It is said that the Lord God uses divine will to help people open their minds and strengthen their spiritual power and spiritual arts. However, 'pointing auspicious light' is the name used in Chisha Country. People in Cangmu Country call it 'blessing'."
A thin and bright ray of light seemed to flash through Xuanying's dark consciousness, and he asked in a trembling voice: "You said...you said that 'A Point of Auspicious Light' is the name used in the Chisha Country?" His breathing also became a little rapid.
Sisi was puzzled by the sudden change in his expression and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Xuanying suddenly remembered what his master Jindao Heijian said in the Qingyang Hall - "If this kid hadn't received the auspicious light from the God of the Chisha Kingdom, he would never have been able to practice both spiritual and spiritual cultivation." This sentence was directed at Chu Xiaomu, but the word he used was "the God of the Lord's auspicious light"!
How did he know what the Chisha people said? Why didn't he use the Cangmu country's statement, but the assassination of the country's statement? ! Could it be that his most respected and admired master, the Golden Sword and Black Sword, the first in the original force martial arts of the Cangmu country, was really a traitor who colluded with the Chisha country? !
This thought was like a sharp light that began to spread in his heart, growing from small to large, from dim to dazzling, from warm to fiercely burning. This extreme change almost made it impossible for him to face the real thought in his heart...
Xuanying adjusted his breath bit by bit, and after a long while he said, "Nothing, I just suddenly felt a little strange."
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Sisi knew that it was useless to ask further questions, so she sighed and said, "Two days ago, you told me about the strange spirit Vipertail with a strange tail, and he also said something at that time."
"What?"
"He said that your kung fu at that time could not defeat the Spirit King of the Red Sand Country. Even if it was an ordinary person blessed by the Lord God, you might not be his opponent... Do you remember?"
Xuanying nodded. He remembered that the words were spoken by Kuiwei in a very strange tone. Most spirits spoke in this way, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Now it seems that the four words "the Lord God blesses" may indicate that Kuiwei is not a spirit from the Red Sand Country.
Sisi said: "Although Kuiwei speaks the language of Cangmu Country, I still doubt that he is not a spirit from here."
Xuanying said: "It's a pity that the monster is dead, otherwise we could find him and ask him."
"It's just that his spiritual tail was torn off, he should not be dead yet."
"How can we find him then?"
"Maybe... maybe you can ask Xuan Youzhu..." Sisi knew that the person Xuan Ying least wanted to see, or even mentioned, was Xuan Youzhu, but now this was the simplest and only way, so she had to say it.
Xuan Ying snorted and said nothing. He was obviously unwilling to look for Xuan Youzhu.
