Since the last time Ye Ruochen came, Ye Liyuan seemed very busy and rarely stepped into Suoqing Hall.
Bai Qiqian vaguely felt that this was related to the story Ye Ruochen told last time. Unfortunately, Ye Ruochen's words were too vague, and Bai Qiqian couldn't guess what the martial arts secret book was referring to.
Many times, Bai Qiqian wanted to ask Ye Liyuan what he wanted to do.
She believed that her ability would definitely be able to help Ye Liyuan.
Unfortunately, Ye Liyuan had a cold face and a sharp tone: "Qianqian, don't know too much about some things." Many things, just like what the story says, it's not bad to forget them.
The pale young man with finely carved white jade hides coldness and determination in his dark eyes, and his natural jade face carries a touch of graceful elegance.
Others say that he dotes on her, but in fact, only she knows it. He treats her as if he is away from her.
Bai Qiqian looked at Ye Liyuan's back and said softly: "Yuan, you still don't believe me after all...don't believe me..." When she said the last four words, her voice was unusually slow, like a whisper.
More like a sigh.
Yes, Ye Liyuan still didn't believe her.
Bai Qiqian understands better than anyone how difficult it is to believe in someone. In her previous life, the two people she believed in were her adoptive father and her so-called lover. One forced her to despair, and the other abandoned her.
She knows better than anyone that human nature is evil and the world is cruel.
Bai Qiqian smiled bitterly, but also felt heartbroken for Ye Liyuan. How many unknown things were hidden under his romantic charm. However, she didn't want to explore it. She would naturally know it when he fell in love with her one day.
Returning to Suoqing Hall, Bai Qiqian took the soft gold whip in his hand and began to practice martial arts.
She had always thought that she was suitable for using a long sword, but now she felt that this soft whip was easier to use. What's more, this soft golden whip was given to her by the Empress Dowager, and it was regarded as a high-quality weapon.
Bai Qiqian inquired from Ye Liyuan and learned that this golden soft whip was used by the Empress Dowager, who had been with her for decades. The Empress Dowager was the daughter of a general, and she had also been in bed that year.
On the battlefield, he made countless achievements with this golden soft whip.
Bai Qiqian admired the Empress Dowager and loved the soft whip in her hand even more.
An hour later, after taking a short rest, Ye Liyuan clapped his hands and applauded: "Qianqian, your martial arts are very powerful. Some of your moves are like nothing I have ever seen. Where do you learn from them?"
Bai Qiqian smiled bitterly: "Actually, I don't know where my master is from. I don't even know my master's name."
Ye Liyuan was once surprised: "Why is this?"
Bai Qiqian sorted out her thoughts and said slowly: "Back then, I was adopted by someone, and I called that person my foster father. He found someone to teach us martial arts, and within three years, we were able to achieve success."
"What we learn is not poetry and etiquette, but how to be cold-blooded and ruthless, how to kill people without blinking an eye, how to destroy corpses without leaving a trace..." That period was very dark, but it taught her to grow.
The feelings buried in my heart seem to have found an outlet and are out of control.
Scenes from the past came to mind, and those bloody memories were like a sharp knife, cruelly making her look directly at the dripping blood: "In three years, I learned all the killing techniques. My adoptive father said, as long as I pass
After passing three levels, you can end this life..."
Bai Qiqian smiled happily, but her smile made Ye Liyuan feel distressed.
"I was locked up in a small room by my adoptive father. There was no light, only darkness, endless darkness. My adoptive father told me that I had to kill everyone in the room before I could come out."
"Your adoptive father is very cruel." Ye Liyuan said truthfully, but he was still a little confused. When did she recognize an adopted father? He didn't seem to know at all.
Bai Qiqian nodded: "During the training days, I only killed jackals, tigers and leopards, and I never killed anyone. But this time, I had to kill someone with my own hands. The murderous intention of that person was very strong, so heavy that
I was terrified. His moves were very fast and deadly. I also have the will to live and want to live well, so I must kill him."
The experience of killing someone for the first time is always unforgettable. The panic and fear at that time are deeply engraved in the heart and cannot be erased.
"I understood that either he died or I died. I tried my best to kill him. When the door was opened, I realized that the person I killed was my master who had taught me for three years."
"I can't forget the way my adoptive father looked at him, as if he was looking at a dead dog, without any sympathy or pity. If I didn't listen to him, maybe I would end up like this one day. From that day on, I knew
I realized what I should do and what I shouldn’t do. So, I lived in order to survive.”
This reason, which is not a reason, has supported her for many years.
Ye Liyuan held her in his arms and said softly: "Qianqian, I never knew you had suffered so much."
Bai Qiqian raised her head and kissed Ye Liyuan's thin lips. After a long time, she let go: "Where I live, there is a gentle sister who takes care of me. She is very quiet and gentle. Most of the time she
In the garden, looking at the flowers."
"Her smile is very warm, just like my mother. Every time I get hurt, I feel warm in my heart when I think of her smile." She was so beautiful back then, her smile warmed her heart, "I'm not happy
When she was young, she would tell me stories and make me laugh."
"She often told me to live strong. I don't know what the purpose of my life is. I only know that I should live, just like she hopes. Maybe one day, I will find
My reason and purpose for living.”
"But, I never thought that the second person my adoptive father wanted me to kill was her." Bai Qiqian's smile was very bitter, "My adoptive father told me calmly that she must die. After my sister is like a flower,
During the years of Jade, I personally ended her life."
"My adoptive father told me that I have to kill even if I don't kill. If I don't kill her, then I will be the one who dies. However, my sister is the only bright light in my heart. With her by my side,
I feel like my life is not that dark."
Ye Liyuan sighed, never expecting that she had experienced so many things.
What happened to her during those years when he didn't care about her? Ye Liyuan was full of doubts, but he didn't know how to speak. He was afraid that his questions would break the tacit understanding between him and her.
"In order to live, I wiped out the last bit of conscience and humanity, and killed my sister with my own hands. My sister fell in my arms, smiled and said to me that she did not blame me, not at all. If possible, she hoped
I live a happy life."
We can never know how evil a person can be, just as we can't know how kind a person can be. All of this is due to the unpredictable nature of the human heart.
Ye Liyuan stroked Bai Qiqian's black hair, feeling all kinds of emotions in his heart.
Bai Qiqian closed her eyes and enjoyed this feeling: "Do you know what the third level is?"
Ye Liyuan pursed his lips and smiled, but his heart was extremely heavy: "Could it be that your adoptive father wanted you to kill him?"
Bai Qiqian opened her eyes and smiled openly and beautifully: "Yuan, what you said is so funny. If my adoptive father asked me to kill him at that time, I would not hesitate. Unfortunately, he was not the one he wanted me to kill.
.”
"Then what is the third level like?" Ye Liyuan is still a little curious. After all, it is not easy for ordinary people to pass the first two levels. If it were him, he would kill his master and the relatives who take care of him.
, he couldn't do it either.
Bai Qi smiled slightly and buried her head in Ye Liyuan's arms. Her voice was as calm as water: "I am not the only child of my adoptive father. There are more than three hundred people like me who have passed two levels in a row."
Ye Liyuan was shocked and had some vague guesses.
Bai Qiqian put her arms around his waist and hugged him tighter: "My foster father took us to a forest full of dangers and told all of us that only one can come out alive."
"Qianqian..." He called her name in a low voice, like a sigh, with countless bitterness.
Even he had never experienced such cruel training.
Bai Qiqian said coquettishly: "Yuan, your worries now are unnecessary."
His worries were unnecessary, but he couldn't help but feel heartbroken for her, a heart-wrenching pain that he had never felt before.
"We all entered the woods without food or weapons. In that dangerous forest, we were not companions who depended on each other, but sworn enemies. For seven days, for seven whole days, we drank blood like hair and killed countless people."
Ye Liyuan couldn't imagine what kind of cruelty it was.
That day, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, her murderous intent was so strong. At that time, he thought, she didn't come out of a pile of dead people, and she didn't have such strong murderous intent. That kind of killing was a arrogant and arrogant killing intent.
Now, he understood where this murderous aura came from.
Maybe she just wanted to live a peaceful and peaceful life after experiencing so many bloody killings. Just like what Ye Ruochen said, she wanted to live in peace and harmony in the deep palace with her husband and children.
She suddenly wanted to cry, even just one tear, but her eyes were so dry that it hurt.
Bai Qiqian got up from his arms: "Yuan, actually I just want you to know that I am not as weak as you think. I can stand shoulder to shoulder with you, as long as you are willing to believe in me."
Bai Qiqian looked at him with hot eyes, like a flame.
She can do it, she can definitely do it, she can conquer the country and conquer the world with him, as long as he believes in her.
Ye Liyuan raised his eyes and looked at the sky, but finally said nothing.
Bai Qiqian felt that there was still some inexplicable gap between this man who was as pale as jade and her. The two of them were very close, but the distance between their hearts was still very far.
Neither of them spoke. In such a quiet moment, she heard the sound of wind, water, and falling flowers.
There are also the sounds of heartbreak.
Bai Qiqian laughed to herself. When will her entangled relationship with Ye Liyuan come to an end?
