Chapter 497 - Chapter 497 - Deceived"I was deceived by the Pavilion Master!" Only now did Ning Zheyan realize the Pavilion Master"s true goal.
With a "bang," Wei Yuanwei turned her head around, and saw that a dozen a.s.sa.s.sins dressed in black had appeared out of nowhere into the temple, and there was still not even a single ant in the open s.p.a.ce at the entrance of the broken temple.
However, Wei Yuanwei could clearly hear the voices coming from the roof, as if every brick wall was filled with people.
"My wife, there are so many people on this roof. Let"s hurry and get out. If the roof collapses, that would be bad!" Xiao Jin Jin Jin said as he stood beside Wei Yuanwei.
Wei Yuanwei looked at Ning Zheyan. Ning Zheyan"s face could not basically be described as pale, it was a dead human face that had no blood at all!
In the s.p.a.cious area, a black sedan slowly descended from the sky. The four bells hanging from the top of his feet made clanging sounds from the wind. Although the sound was very crisp, it sounded like a soul-stirring bell to those who heard it.
Layers upon layers of black curtains tightly covered the sedan chair. The spring breeze was still able to lift up the black curtains, but no one was able to see who was in the sedan.
"My Lord!" Ning Zheyan who was dressed in red walked out of the door, then walked towards the black palanquin at the door.
"You only wanted me to find Wei Yuanwei, you never thought of killing Wei Yuanwei!" It was the first thought that came to his mind when she felt something was wrong.
Baili Qingcheng had already guessed that he would tell Wei Yuanwei the truth, so she didn"t plan to have him deceive Wei Yuanwei to bring Mu Jin back.
Baili Qingcheng only wanted him to stabilize Wei Yuanwei and wait for the arrival of the Heavenly Fiend Pavilion"s members.
All of this happened so silently that he didn"t even know when Baili Qingcheng had caught up to him.
However, if that was the case, wouldn"t Baili Qingcheng"s target not be Mu Jin, but Wei Yuanwei instead?
"Bring them back!" Baili Qingcheng"s ethereal voice came from the black palanquin, exuding a stifling feeling.
"Master, what do you want to do with them?" Just as Ning Zheyan took a step forward, a huge gust of air surged out from the palanquin and rushed towards Ning Zheyan.
It struck right at Ning Zheyan"s chest, the huge impact force caused Ning Zheyan to fall hard onto the ground.
"For the sake of the old Pavilion Master, I won"t kill you!" Baili Qingcheng"s cold voice rang out from the black palanquin once again.
Everything had already been explained. Baili Qingcheng had long suspected his ident.i.ty, so she deliberately used Wei Yuanwei to threaten him. He was not willing to lie to Wei Yuanwei, and neither was he willing to let Wei Yuanwei get into trouble.
"Ning Zheyan..." Wei Yuanwei walked over and tried to help Ning Zheyan up, but Ning Zheyan held Wei Yuanwei"s hand tightly and whispered into Wei Yuanwei"s ears with a voice as low as a mosquito: "I"m sorry, Zheyan lied to you. There are many males and females in the hidden families, so people from other families are allowed to marry women, and they can also bring women from other families back to the hidden families.
Wei Yuanwei"s eyes were filled with astonishment. Looking at Ning Zheyan"s face which was as white as snow, his brows deeply furrowed, and his eyes filled with an unbearable light.
"The juice of the withered summer gra.s.s can"t make the disguise medicine lose its potency, because Zheyan is worried that the white lotus is Mu Jin!" Ning Zheyan whispered into Wei Yuanwei"s ear word by word, "I just want you to live …"
After she finished speaking, Ning Zheyan"s bewitching eyes lost all of their brilliance. Like a sky full of stars falling, when Ning Zheyan closed her eyes, the final ray of light disappeared from Ning Zheyan"s eyes.
"Ning Zheyan, Ning Zheyan … Wake up, wake up! " Wei Yuanwei lied beside Ning Zheyan, and his words were mixed with a crying sound.
Every word he said made her feel a pang in her heart, made her feel suffocated, and made her not know how to face it.
During this year, she truly treated Ning Zheyan as her own kin, and even more so treated him as the only family she had in this world.
If she couldn"t find Mu Jin and Ning Zheyan wasn"t around, then she really wouldn"t know anyone in this world.
"My wife …" When Xiao Jin Jin saw that Wei Yuanwei was in pain, and saw that she had fainted, she reached out and tugged on Wei Yuanwei"s arm, "Don"t be sad, even if he is dead, I will still accompany my wife!"
Little Jin saw Ning Zheyan spitting out a mouthful of blood.
They thought that Ning Zheyan had died, which was why they said those words.
Wei Yuanwei looked at the white lotus in front of him. Millions of mournful thoughts poured into her heart, as if all of these were her own mistakes.
Baili Qingcheng, who was sitting in the palanquin, watched the scene outside coldly. With a light snap of her fingers, Qian Mo, who was standing beside her, brought her people to walk towards Wei Yuanwei and Jin Jin.
The palace of the Heavenly Fiend Pavilion was built in the middle of a lake covered in mist, just like an island at the edge of the world. The ship was the only means of transportation, however, in this lake shrouded in mist, it was very easy to lose one"s bearings and die in the lake.
So far, no one had been able to enter the Heavenly Fiend Pavilion!
Many people died on the ships heading to the Heavenly Demon Pavilion. They entered, but they couldn"t leave, and they kept circling around in the same place, and finally they could only starve to death on the ships, and then they drifted aimlessly with the ships. Some ships might be able to float back to the sh.o.r.e one day, but some ships could only endlessly float in the lake.
When the black cloth in front of Wei Yuanwei was taken away, what entered her eyes was a thin layer of mist. It was hazy, as if he could see the horizon, but could not.
Just as Wei Yuanwei was about to extend her leg and take a step forward, she was stopped by Qian Mo who stood beside him.
On the stage, Baili Qingcheng"s cold voice resounded, "This is the center of the lake. If you fall here, I won"t have the ability to pull you up!"
Wei Yuanwei stopped moving, and when she looked down carefully, she realized that she was standing on clear water.
"I wonder why Pavilion Master captured me here?" Wei Yuanwei turned and spoke to Baili Qingcheng, who was sitting in the curtain.
"After I came out of seclusion, I heard that there was a girl who could change a person"s appearance into something completely different. From the servants by my side to Eastern Chu, to the... The current Su Lei! "
When Wei Yuanwei heard her last sentence, she was obviously startled, but her expression did not change.
"Could it be that the Pavilion Master wants me to come here because she wants me to perform a facelift on your face?" Wei Yuanwei said coldly, looking at the man in the curtain calmly.
