Chapter 9 Fate
She soon returned to the General's Mansion. The people in the General's Mansion followed the steps and ignored her. She had long been used to it in this dark world.
Chu Xia had no intention of wandering around the mansion. She returned to her room and closed the door and sat in front of the table.
There was only a teapot containing water and several clean ceramic water cups on the table. Chu Xia felt a little thirsty and picked up the teapot to serve a cup of tea to drink, but found that there was no water inside.
Chu Xia angrily put the teapot on the table. She clearly remembered that she made a pot of tea when she was going to attend the banquet this morning, but why is there no more now?
She suddenly thought of Liang's mother. It must be that she entered her room and poured the tea after she left today. She and Chu Xia were dissatisfied with her and often did such things. This is their punishment for sinners. Chu Xia could only endure it every time, and she could not reveal her abilities.
She was in anger now and did not hear the knock outside the door. Erhua outside the door saw that there was no movement inside, and she thought Chu Xia was not there and was about to turn around and leave.
With a "bang...", the door opened. Seeing that it was Chu Xia who came to open the door, Erhua's smile was very bright. She walked up and said to Chu Xia, "What were you doing in the room just now? You didn't hear me knocking on the door outside for so long?"
Chu Xia heard Erhua say that she had knocked on the door for a long time and she didn't hear it. She felt a little guilty. She couldn't say that she thought her anger covered her hearing, so she had to tell a small lie.
While pulling Erhua into the room, she said to her: "I was a little sleepy when I came back from the banquet just now, and I fell asleep on the table."
Hearing her say this, Erhua couldn't ask about what happened just now. She felt relieved when she saw that she was fine. She suddenly thought of the question about Chu Xia's skills.
Erhua sat down, Chu Xia quickly closed the door. Erhua put his hands on the table and supported his head with one hand. She was hesitating whether to ask about her skills.
She thought about it and finally made a decision. She was a very straightforward woman. She said whatever she liked. She watched Chu Xia sit down opposite her and said to her: "Chu Xia, I'll ask you a question!"
When Chu Xia heard her say this, she was curious about what the problem was, so she nodded to her and said, "What question, ask!" "Why is your skill so great?" Erhua asked the question and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, like a floating stone falling down.
Chu Xia did not expect that she would ask this question. She didn't know how to tell her for a while. She rubbed her temples with her fair and slender fingers and fell into thinking.
She was afraid that this would affect Erhua in the future, so she decided to confuse the matter and looked at Erhua and said, "I don't know what happened, but it suddenly happened."
Although it is a bit unreasonable, Erhua is not the kind of person who likes to break the casserole and ask the truth. Looking at Chu Xia's appearance, she was really happy for her.
Chu Xia knew that all she could do was to make herself stronger so that she could protect people who were good to her and not be trampled by others.
If no one protects you, just strengthen yourself. This is the truth that Chu Xia has learned in this chaotic world. No matter how the times change, he always follows the principle of "survival of the fittest, elimination of the unfit".
She felt very happy when she saw how Erhua cared about her. She was very happy. Erhua was also happy for Chu Xia.
When Chu Xia saw that the weather was getting late outside and she had to see Jing Yuan later, she said to Erhua: "How about you go and rest first, you have been tired for a day."
Erhua looked outside. It was really late now. Besides, she had been tired for a day and wanted to rest for a long time, so she went to bed to rest.
Seeing Erhua leave, she quietly took out the cloth strip and looked at it. She was hesitant and wondered whether to meet him. She didn't know why he invited her to hunt for treasure.
She felt that Jing Yuan had too many secrets, but he could give her a different feeling. This was something that others could not give, and she couldn't tell why.
The cloth strip said that she went to the peach tree in the back garden of the mansion. She said something to her lying on the bed, and walked out of the room. She carefully closed the door, for fear that others would know.
She walked secretly towards the back garden. The flowers in the garden were blooming in a row, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers. Chu Xia liked this smell very much, but she just didn't see Jing Yuan.
Suddenly an idea came to her mind. She was not just teasing her. She was thinking about something suddenly fell from the peach tree, but Chu Xia saw nothing.
Only the peach blossoms drifted down and fell on her body with the wind. She reached out to catch a peach blossom. She was about to fall into her hand, but suddenly she changed direction. Chu Xia thought that someone must be teasing her, "Who? Come out for me."
"Isn't your Jiuzhou Qi Zhi very powerful? I can't even sense it?" Chu Xia turned around when he heard the voice and saw a man in green falling gently from the air to the ground.
Chu Xia also felt very surprised why her Jiuzhou Qi Zhi was useless to him. She shook her head and said, "So it's you."
"How is it?" This so-called King Jing is just like this. He doesn't talk much, but he has a peerless handsome face. Every frown and smile can touch the hearts of thousands of girls.
Chu Xia's face looked a little flushed under the evenness of the peach blossoms, a beautiful face looked extremely charming, and a cherry mouth made people unable to help but bite. Chu Xia was a little fascinated by seeing him. Although she knew it would be impolite to always look at others like this, she still couldn't help looking at him.
At some point he moved to Chu Xia. He tapped her head gently with his hand, and she came to her senses. Chu Xia looked at him at such a close distance, and his face turned red. Chu Xia subconsciously took a few steps back.
"We can go to the Dark Forest to hunt for treasure together..." Chu Xia seemed to have to say something, but she swallowed it back when she said it.
Jing Yuan saw her doubts and said to her gently: "If you have any doubts, just ask whatever you want." Jing Yuan was still very gentle and looked full of poetry and books.
Everyone knows that Jing Yuan has been weak and sick since he was a child, but he has no idea that he has high skills. It is because of the disease that he successfully helped him with a protective film.
Hearing him say this, Chu Xia had no good concerns. "It is indeed a good idea to go hunting treasures together, but you should also know that there are many dangers inside. Is your body really good?"
Jing Yuan couldn't help but like her courage. No one dared to dislike him so directly and clearly when he grew up. However, Chu Xia was right to have this concern, which means that she was not the kind of stupid woman. Jing Yuan admired her in this regard.
Jing Yuan was about to say something, but the seven veins of Jiuzhou felt someone approaching. Jing Yuan had no choice but to do anything. He suddenly thought that he could use his identity as King Jing.
He approached her step by step, and as Jing Yuan got closer and closer, she kept retreating, and she stopped before she stopped. She didn't know what he was going to do.
Chu Xia never expected that the true face of King Jing, who usually looks so gentle, is like this. She now regrets coming out alone to meet him.
Chu Xia didn't know that someone was approaching them. Jing Yuan did this to save them. He felt that Chu Xia's Jiuzhou Qi veins wanted to disappear as soon as they approached Jing Yuan, and there was no reaction.
Jing Yuan gently pinched her chin with his hand, for fear of pinching her face to hurt. His face was very close to her face, so the person who came could not see Xia's face clearly. Chu Xia was actually a little scared and said, "What are you...what are you going to do?"
Chu Xia tried to break free, but his strength was too strong, but she didn't dare to use her skills. She looked like an ant in front of him. She closed her eyes in fear and said to her: "Can I understand that you were caring for me just now?"
He didn't pinch her chin anymore, but grabbed her hand the moment he let it go, and said jokingly: "What are you afraid of? You're mine sooner or later."
Jing Yuan said that, a little loud, as if he was deliberately saying it to someone. Chu Xia did not expect that King Jing was so shameless. He was about to curse, but he heard the voice coming from the other side, "I clearly heard this voice."
The two servants were talking, and one servant pointed in their direction and said, "Be careful, don't disturb King Jing, we can't afford to take it."
The identity of King Jing is indeed easy to use, but Jing Yuan did not want to be King Jing since he was a child. He just wanted to be an ordinary person and experience the ups and downs of the world. However, with such powerful skills, he was destined to not be ordinary in this life. This is a responsibility and a destiny.
Another servant said, "I didn't expect that the gentle King Jing would have such a time."
After a long time, Jing Yuan suddenly became like this. He felt a little uncomfortable. He was very uncomfortable. He still liked Siwen.
Seeing the two servants leaving, Chu Xia realized that he was saving her just now. She said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry just now!" "You asked me before, why I was weak and sick, and why I went to the Dark Forest to search for treasures. Now I tell you that weak and sick are just my appearance, and I have a strong skill to hide." Jing Yuan let go of her hand after he confirmed that he was safe.
The cold breeze blew, making Chu Xia's hair a little messy. Chu Xia used her hands to sort out her hair. She was a little thin and her body was shaking a little.
Jing Yuan also saw her body trembling a little and asked to her: "Is it cold?"
Chu Xia shook her head and said, "It's not cold." In fact, she was very cold in her heart. Chu Xia is such a person. She never tells the outside world if she has any pain. When others ask her, she will still say "It's okay."
She was really afraid that she would be strong for a long time. What should she do if she was not strong that day? Who would protect her?
