Chapter 86 - 86: You Think I’ll Leave them in the lurch?
Bai Xianyu slept very soundly.
She never woke up again.
When she got up, there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
She looked at the incense burner. There was no more smoke rising from it.
“This incense is quite powerful.” Bai Xianyu shook her head and rubbed it. “It really let me think of my previous beloved.”
Moreover, it only chose the sweet ones when she was deeply in love.
If she really was not someone who had been reborn, she would really think that Xie Xingyun was the person she was destined to be with.
When he walked out of the courtyard, Xie Xingyun was leaning against a tree trunk and taking a nap. He had sharp eyebrows and a silver scabbard in his hand. The tassels wrapped in the wind hit his dark golden robe.
He was actually holding a sword.
As if sensing it, the moment Bai Xianyu looked over, Xie Xingyun opened his eyes. His black eyes were surging, and there was a faint green under his eyelids.
“I’ve done all three things. This has nothing to do with me, right?”
Xie Xingyun stood up straight. The tree behind him swayed slightly, and leaves fell in twos and threes.
He said, “There’s nothing you want to tell me?”
Bai Xianyu thought for a moment. “In my mind, you tricked me into applying medicine for you.”
“So?”
“So you should thank me.” Bai Xianyu knew what he wanted to say, but he deliberately did not mention it.
“You know about our past relationship. Don’t you have anything to say?”
Bai Xianyu raised her eyebrows. “What’s there to say? It’s just that I was stupid in the past. But… Xie Xingyun, when did you discover that 1 was reborn?”
After discovering it, it was not strange for him to do these things.
At this point, there was no need to hide it anymore.
He took two steps in her direction.
There was a courtyard between them.
“Early.”
Bai Xianyu pursed her lips. “Is it fun?”
“No.”
With just a few words, she lost the desire to talk to him.
Bai Xianyu looked at the surrounding buildings. “Where are the people in my residence?”
Xie Xingyun said softly, “Next door.”
She did not doubt him and turned to look for them.
She did not know how many days had passed, but she felt that she had almost drowned in these memories.
Would a scheming person like Xie Xingyun naively think that she would love him again because of those years of infatuation?
“If it’s because of the General’s Manor…” he said from behind her, “I can explain part of it to you.”
Bai Xianyu did not stop in her tracks. “Back then, I had asked you to explain, but you didn’t. There’s no need for that now.”
Xie Xingyun looked up at her as if he did not hear her.
“That’s because there are spies in the residence.”
This was the first time she had heard the man say this. She subconsciously stopped in her tracks. “Who?”
Xie Xingyun said, “Many.”
Bai Xianyu looked at him suspiciously. “Since you know, why did you let it be?”
“As long as that person is around, it can’t be avoided,” he said. “If 1 got rid of all of them, it would only make him suspicious.”
Bai Xianyu thought for a moment and knew very well who that person was.
“What does this have to do with General’s Manor?”
Xie Xingyun was silent for a moment. The corners of his lips curled up and he said hoarsely, “Are you so against me that you think i left your brothers in the lurch and caused them to die?”
Bai Xianyu’s heart ached as she said indifferently, “That was only one of the reasons.”
The morning wind swayed the branches of the trees, and the dense mountain Qi wrapped around this ancient Buddha Temple.
A clanging bell sounded, echoing throughout the entire mountain.
Her voice was even colder than the cold dew in the mountain temple.
“… Xie Xingyun, you are too cold..”
