Chapter 275.
Ye Jingxue gave a speech that explained the origin of this martial art of his.
The expression was calm as if she wasn’t talking about herself, but telling the story of an unrelated person.
Jiang Ran’s fingers tapped lightly on the desktop.
“So, the reason you know about this face of Bai Xizhao is because your master abbot once told you about it?”
“That’s right.”
Ye Jingxue nodded:
“He is a learned man, and he is good at everything, including zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
“When he drew Bai Xichao’s face and told me about it, he was telling me that if I were to walk in the jianghu in the future, when I encountered this person, I needed to leave immediately, and never stay longer.”
It was precisely because of this that she was able to impersonate Bai Xichao and appear within this Willow Courtyard.
After a slight pause, she added:
“And the reason why I impersonated Bai Xichao was because I knew that this was Heavenly Que’s means of dealing with you.
“You are bound to be within the Willow Courtyard, and if you see Bai Xichao in the middle of the Willow Courtyard, you will definitely be suspicious.
“If you find me, we can be frank and honest, hand in hand.
“But if you don’t look for me, you can also secretly observe whether someone will lay hands on Bai Xichao.
“But I never thought that you acted so well that even I didn’t see half a crack.
“And …… also to me ……”
Speaking here, Ye Jingxue’s face then recovered a few points of anger, but it was really angry.
Jiang Ran coughed:
“All said, it’s a misunderstanding.”
“It’s also the children of the jianghu, if I were a golden girl of any family, this attitude of yours today would be enough for me to die hundreds of times.”
Ye Jingxue hummed.
Although the Golden Cicada folk style is slightly heroic, but for the woman is still extremely demanding, even if it is not to the extent of the naked sleeve is lost this degree, but Jiang Ran has done is not just a naked sleeve.
This is a thing that must be settled for life.
Otherwise, the girl has no hope in this life, and most likely can only hang herself from a beam.
Jiang Ran waved his hand:
“Don’t talk nonsense, this kind of thing is most undesirable. Paying your life for this is even more of a crime.”
He paused slightly and grabbed Ye Jingxue before she could speak and said:
“In that case, your master abbot is still alive today?”
“En.”
Ye Jingxue nodded: “Although my master passed all of his internal strength to me, but with my skills today, if I want to fight against my master abbot, it would be a dead end.
“Therefore, when I got better from my injuries, I left directly under that cliff, and ran out around it for a long distance, which led me to find the Jin Yang Mansion.
“The rest, you’ll pretty much know.
“On the way, I did meet a jianghu scum who was doing wrong, and after killing him, I got that letter.
“Further on, I encountered Dong Qingcheng and the others, and the one between Ke Beisheng.”
After that, Ye Jingxue had been with Jiang Ran and the others, and the things that happened were all experienced together.
Jiang Ran nodded gently:
“So it’s like this, then I understand.
“But nowadays, your master abbot can’t help but be clear that you’re still alive, and the matter of you being the human dan he’s been raising for years must never be leaked out.
“Otherwise, you will be in danger every step of the way.
“After we wait for the matter of the Jin Yang Mansion to end, I will go with you and kill this person.”
Ye Jingxue looked up at Jiang Ran and suddenly smiled:
“I kind of understand why my sister likes you, have you always been this anxious?”
“……”
Jiang Ran was silent for a moment:
“You are Shocking Frost’s sister, and there is no difference between you and my sister.
“When someone bullies you like this, I naturally can’t just sit back and watch.”
“Then if you’re so kind to me, can you tell me the truth?”
Ye Jingxue looked at Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi:
“What exactly is the relationship between you …… and the Devil Cult?”
When he said the word ‘you guys’, Jiang Ran was still trying to figure out how to explain to her the relationship between himself and Tang Shixue and Tang Wuyi, the two sisters.
And how to leave the Demon Cult out of this.
Although he had agreed to be open and honest, Jiang Ran had never intended to publicize the Demon Cult to the public.
However, Ye Jingxue’s question made Jiang Ran a bit confused.
He looked at Ye Jingxue with slight consternation:
“Why do you ask that?”
“What is that person …… called? It’s the one who impersonated School Captain Chang.”
Ye Jingxue said softly:
“It’s that person who said at that time that there was a relationship between you and the Demon Cult.”
“Just based on that?”
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows slightly.
“It’s more than that.”
Ye Jingxue said softly:
“A lot of places are weird ……
“For example, what’s that one called …… something?”
“Fu Yu Sheng.”
Jiang Ran reminded her.
“Yes, it’s the one called Fu Yu Sheng, you said he’s someone from Heavenly Que, and I’m well aware that he is indeed someone from Heavenly Que.
“But if that Wang family is really that innocent, an unusual family only, why would it make Heavenly Que so cautious?”
Ye Jingxue held the teacup and gently turned it in front of him, turning it while speaking:
“As for why I can see that the Wang family let Heavenly Que be cautious …… is because, you will send away all the people of the Wang family, Heavenly Que pretending to be a disciple of the Wang family, in front of the door and we have done a game, but …… they have no idea about the Wang family within the situation, but know nothing.
“They haven’t even probed a bit, have they?
“This doesn’t make sense.
“Heavenly Que has huge roots, and there are many experts under their hands.
“If I were to substitute Heavenly Que’s thoughts, I would probably first secretly kill the Wang family cleanly, and then use my own people to pose as disciples of the Wang family.
“Then act in the name of the Devil Cult and have you kill all of these people.
“Only in this way can we truly gain your trust.
“But that night Fu Yu-sheng’s behavior, but through a bunch of hand tied ……
“That’s because, outside is you and the seven sects, inside is the devil’s religion.
“The only space that could allow him to show his skill was that square area, so how would he be able to show his skill in a big way?”
She said this and looked up at Jiang Ran:
“Afterwards, I asked where the people in the Wang family were …… You said that they had gone to find other places to land.
“Try to ask how these three years of operation can be said to be released?
“And with your skills, wanting to eradicate a leader of the Heavenly Que can be easy. When the matter is over, let the Wang family come back is, why bother to run around again?
“Then think about the matter of Fu Yu Sheng saying that there was an unclear relationship between you and the Devil Cult before he died.
“The answer to some things is also calling out.”
Jiang Ran smiled faintly and was about to speak when he saw Ye Jingxue look at Tang Yuyi again:
“Perhaps you yourself haven’t even realized that whenever things get entangled with the Demon Sect, you subconsciously look at ‘Li Tianxin’.
“And when someone from the Sky Silkworm Sect came over to ask for help, saying that they had encountered someone from the Devil Cult who had intercepted them.
“You said at that time that rescuing people was like putting out a fire, and rushed to …… in a great hurry
“But you took away ‘Li Tianxin’ in addition to that Heavenly Silkworm Sect disciple who could have guided you, try to ask with your martial arts skills, is more than one more of her? Or is it not possible to do without her?
“Although I was confused about this earlier, I couldn’t figure out exactly.
“But now I am able to determine.
“She is now her true appearance, but she wears the clothes of the Qunfeng Scatterer.
“She has disguised herself as a Qunfeng Sanshou and appeared within this room with such an appearance.
“It was only after the chaos that occurred afterward that you regained your original appearance.
“Not only did your appearance change, even your body and bones changed.
“Moreover, there is no space or tools here for you to recover your face slowly and methodically.
“Then I …… thought of a martial art.
“The Celestial Qi Dou Duo Turning Great Shifting Shape Method from the Devil Sect’s Eighteen Heavenly Demon Records.”
Tang Yuyi frowned and glanced at Jiang Ran, feeling a little embarrassed.
There could be no mistake about Ye Jingxue’s identity, just based on her looks, she was definitely Ye Shockfang’s younger sister.
But this girl’s resourcefulness was only above that of Ye Shocking Frost.
Earlier from her recounting of her past, following her master in the mountains to learn martial arts that would be she is still a young girl who is not versed in the world.
Now it has become this powerful …… They say that trials and tribulations call for people to grow up, and this has also grown too big!
In this case, was she spied the truth, can still sneak and kill?
Jiang Ran was the first to disagree ah.
Don’t look at Jiang Ran’s usual ruthlessness, dealing with a lot of people as if they were a big devil running out of hell.
But once it comes to the people around him, he has always been very soft-hearted.
Therefore, even if on the surface, Tang Yuyi didn’t agree with the old drunkard’s evaluation of Jiang Ran.
But deep in her heart, she recognized it.
Jiang Ran’s fingertips that were tapping on the desktop didn’t move.
He looked at Ye Jingxue, who instead said with a smile:
“With this information, I have speculated that the person who came to the inn in the middle of the night that night was definitely not the one who ambushed the Heavenly Silkworm Sect and the Dinghai Pavilion.
“I’m guessing that it was someone from the Wang family, right?
“Then this girl from the Demon Sect, recognized them, and you guys turned your differences into a peace.
“What’s more …… they acted on your orders.
“So, you took them out of the middle of the Gu Zhang County matter …… Now, they wouldn’t be, right, in the Jin Yang Province, would they?”
Jiang Ran finally smiled when he heard this.
He reached out and poured himself a cup of tea:
“You just said it with such a big grin… If I’m really a member of the Devil Cult, aren’t you worried that you’ll die?”
“Not worried ……”
Ye Jingxue gently shook her head:
“I didn’t believe it in the past, but now I do.
“There are people in the righteous path who kill innocents in vain, and there are people in the Devil Sect who save the lives of the people.
“Whether someone is good or bad is not just based on position alone.
“The reason I’m being so blunt is just to show two things.
“First, I’m not a fool, so don’t fool me or underestimate me. Looking at the jianghu there is no longer anything worth me being afraid of. Therefore, the matter of playing the role of Bai Xichao can be left to me, you don’t have to persuade me to leave.
“Secondly, I don’t want to hide my heart to get along with you guys, you may already be the person my sister trusts the most, and I want to trust you too ……”
Jiang Ran gently exhaled, followed by a smile:
“These speculations you spoke of today, have you ever mentioned them to anyone else?”
“Not ever.”
Ye Jingxue said:
“This is a matter of great importance, so how could I go and talk about it indiscriminately?”
Jiang Ran nodded slightly and sighed softly:
“What a stern little girl, really underestimated you.
“You are right, we ……”
“I’m a member of the Demon Cult.”
Tang Yuyi spoke first, then she raised her chin and looked at Ye Jingxue:
“Moreover, I’m the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect!”
Ye Jingxue froze, then nodded:
“No wonder it’s so shameless ……”
“Hey!!!”
Tang Yuyi was furious: “What nonsense?”
“Nonsense?”
Ye Jingxue glanced at her:
“Who let him do what to you just now? You even hid in his comforter …… the two of you were in the same room, sleeping in the same bed.
“And I ask you, are you married?”
“We’re not ……”
Tang Yuyi wanted to explain.
“I’ll ask you, are you married?”
Ye Jingxue repeated.
Tang Yuyi had to shake her head.
“Look, not married, sleeping in the same bed, saying you’re shameless, what do you have to refute?”
Ye Jingxue hummed.
“Fang was in a hurry.”
Jiang Ran gently waved his hand.
Ye Jingxue hummed and muttered again:
“Moreover, look at yourself, where do you look like a Demon Sect Holy Maiden, no wonder your Demon Sect is in such decline.
“A Demon Sect Holy Maiden fighting with someone and acting like a brat.
“If you want to pretend to be a man, then pretend properly, don’t ramble on every day, just like an old lady.”
“A little kid one moment, an old lady the next, aren’t you a bit upside down?
“Brother-in-law, judge me!”
Tang Yuyi couldn’t help but grab Jiang Ran’s arm and accuse Ye Jingxue.
Ye Jingxue froze at hearing this:
“Brother-in-law? You actually talked to your own brother-in-law ……”
“What words? Speak as if he’s not your brother-in-law.”
Tang Yuyi hummed.
“I ……”
Ye Jingxue froze, then frowned slightly as she looked at Jiang Ran:
“Are you purposely looking specifically to have a sister?”
“……”
Jiang Ran felt as if Ye Jingxue was suspecting something.
And, her suspicion seemed like it would be hard to wash it away even if she jumped into the Yellow River herself.
He rubbed his brow:
“Is it okay if we don’t mention this matter for now?”
“No!”
Tang Yuyi and Ye Jingxue spoke in unison.
Jiang Ran sighed and said to Ye Jingxue:
“Knowing that this Demon Cult Demoness is here, aren’t you going to cut down the demons?”
“Hey!”
Tang Yuyi viciously pinched Jiang Ran’s arm.
Ye Jingxue, however, shook her head:
“She didn’t do anything bad ah …… this all the way to follow you guys, I see that you guys killed a lot of people, but the people that you killed were all treacherous and sycophantic people.
“People in the jianghu say that since the Surprising God Sword Jiang Ran came out of the jianghu, he has never killed anyone by mistake.
“That’s something they’ve all just heard, but I’ve seen it with my own eyes.
“Therefore, after pondering over it for a while, I feel that you are probably those few good people in the Devil’s Cult.
“However, I also have to make it clear …… that I just don’t have any malice towards you guys, but it doesn’t mean that I don’t have any malice towards the Devil Cult.
“Don’t forget, my master’s father-in-law’s method of raising human dan is still passed down from your side of the Devil Cult.
“From this, you can also imagine what kind of paths are in your Demon Sect.”
“There are indeed a mixed bag of good and bad in the Devil Sect.”
Tang Yuyi said indifferently:
“It’s just that my Demon Sect only seeks what its heart desires, and I’m afraid that this type of situation will never be prohibited.”
She glanced at Jiang Ran as she said this:
“Even if someone forces a ban with the sect’s rules and orders, but in this way ……”
She gently shook her head, in that case the consequences would be hard to predict.
“If you pursue what your heart desires, you have to kill and harm people?”
Ye Jingxue shook her head:
“I can’t agree with such a statement …… Therefore, to the Demon Sect I have always been hostile.
“But towards you guys, I am willing to believe.”
“In that case, it’s considered a happy ending for all.”
Jiang Ran let out a light laugh:
“In fact, when I encountered that kind of ruthless devilish people, I have never been merciless in my actions.”
“I know.”
Ye Jingxue said:
“At that time, didn’t you guys kill a group of people from the Devil Cult?
“Even if Fu Yu Sheng’s words were true or false, the words of the Heavenly Silkworm Sect were still worth believing.
“I was rushing to follow them at that time, I was only afraid that you guys were really in cahoots with them …… As a result, you guys killed them.
“This is also one of the reasons why I am willing to believe you guys.”
Speaking here, she paused slightly, then looked up at Jiang Ran:
“Opening up to this, I have one thing I want to ask you.
“I hope you can answer truthfully.”
“Go ahead.”
Jiang Ran spread both hands: “Know it all.”
Ye Jingxue looked at Jiang Ran and spoke seriously:
“Are you true to my sister?”
“……”
Jiang Ran, who had just said that he knew everything and said everything, suddenly fell silent.
This question, it’s not easy to answer.
Especially after Tang Yuyi heard this question, those eyes were as if they could discharge electricity, staring dead on as they channeled their power.
After pondering for a while, Jiang Ran said in a deep voice:
“This matter is more complicated, you ask sincerely or not ……”
As he said this, the shadow of Ye Shockfang subconsciously surfaced in his mind.
The corners of his mouth also slightly hooked up as he gently nodded his head:
“It’s true!
“It’s just ……”
“No need to just.”
Ye Jingxue shook her head:
“I’m only asking if you’re sincere or not, as long as you’re not teasing her and treating her as a joke.
“The other …… maybe karmic, maybe there is a karmic, who can say it clearly?
“Life is not as good as nine out of ten, who dares to say that all things have to have a result?”
These words were a bit of a surprise to Jiang Ran.
He glanced at Ye Jingxue and smiled dumbly:
“Rather, I think that you are more mature than Shocking Frost looks.”
Ye Jingxue smiled faintly:
“You know that people always like to think wildly under a hopeless environment.
“After thinking a lot, things that they couldn’t understand in the past, or things that they hadn’t thought about in the past, suddenly surfaced, and then they figured it out.
“The years under the cliffs were not good, I have been suffering for a few months this to return to the earth, I can’t still be the same uninitiated little girl.”
“Good.”
Jiang Ran nodded:
“Then this matter will be talked about here, no need to say more.
“Let’s talk about what to do next.”
“En.”
Ye Jingxue nodded:
“The identity of Bai Xichao acted according to my original plan, and now it has also successfully met up with you guys.
“Then you guys must look after me.
“If something happens to me, I’m afraid you can’t explain it to my sister’s side.”
“…… know that you’re still taking this kind of risk?”
Tang Yuyi said angrily:
“Originally, I was still planning to use this identity, but he stopped me …… You’re so good, taking matters into your own hands.”
“Who let him not care about me? And let me go to Tiger Wei Pass ……”
Ye Jingxue said here and also blanked Jiang Ran.
“……”
So it’s all my fault?
