Chapter 2, You do not deserve her

Oh, what is this

How can I convey my feelings? he murmured

The jade tablet is entirely pure black, without a trace of impurities. Its surface is warm and smooth, and the carving is exquisite and lifelike, yet it is not symmetrical. On one side, slightly to the left, is engraved an unknown mystical bird, while the other side bears several characters

The woman repeated, her voice growing increasingly cold, as if she were a snow peak that had not melted for a thousand years

That voice fell silent for a moment

After pondering for a moment, Gui replied truthfully: "I am indeed speaking to you in the sea of consciousness at the center of your seventh wheel, the brow chakra. I am not a remnant soul; my state is quite special, yet not entirely different..."

It turned out that she had been holding this dark-colored jade tablet tightly in her hand. Zhao Rong was taken aback.

... ...

The woman asked with a serious expression

"What kind of jade tablet are you referring to?" Zhao Rong felt a prickling sensation on his scalp under her intense gaze, yet he still looked at her with a face full of sincerity.

This herbal tea is a bit astringent He suddenly reminisced about the joy of drinking sugary soda

Result

Zhao Lingfei lowered her gaze and waited for a while. Seeing that the person in front of her remained still, she lifted her delicate head.

"Interesting, no wonder you have no cultivation at all, yet you dare to enjoy this soft meal." That voice echoed in his mind again

Zhao Rong opened his mouth but still did not speak. He did not know how to respond

She wore an elaborate and luxurious phoenix robe, with a tall stature, a slender waist, and a straight jade-like back, holding her head high like a swan, leaving through the door without looking back

Upon my arrival, I inadvertently drove my wife away, and now an old man has appeared by my side. I suspect he will once again tempt, encourage, and supervise my cultivation, marking the beginning of a legendary tale of an underachiever defying the odds

The sound, accompanied by a light laugh, echoed in Zhao Rong's mind, indistinguishable between male and female, extremely hoarse, resembling the sound of seawater grinding sand and stones during low tide, deep and desolate

He thought for a moment and added: "It seems that Da Chu is located in Wang Que Zhou"

The voice paused for a moment and retorted, "Aren't you afraid of me anymore?"

I also want to understand the situation. That jade tablet you mentioned, is it important

Zhao Rong nodded calmly. Binding with the host? It is very likely, but one cannot fully trust it, as there is a possibility of it having intentions of possession or other malicious motives. Vigilance must be maintained

Qianjing, Qian? Interesting, interesting

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a black object on the carpet. Bending down to pick it up, he found it to be a dark jade tablet

Zhao Rong smiled. He did not refute.

Sigh, it is so clichéd; life is truly both dull and tedious

It is estimated that this is the case, sigh, how frustrating it is. I originally wanted to live quietly like a salted fish, enjoying a life of ease, appreciating the scenery of this world, occasionally acting as a literary copyist, transcribing articles, reciting famous poems, and reaping a wave of good reputation, leisurely enjoying this life.

In the next moment, his hair stood on end

You have not yet answered my question

As he continued to gently caress it, the jade seemed to emit a slight warmth. He began to find it somewhat irresistible.

Three individuals grew up together, sharing a close relationship. ... Due to issues related to marriage by adoption, conflicts arose between myself and Zhao Lingfei, but Qian'er has consistently worked hard in the middle to mediate, acting as a peacemaker

"A good name." Zhao Rong curled his lips and continued to lower his head, playing with the jade tablet.

It seemed that he noticed his distraction and indifference, and Gui Qi said: "Hey, kid, aren't you afraid of me? Don't you want to know how I am communicating with you?"

Should I pursue her? ... But if I do catch up, what should I say...

What are you afraid of? If you truly have ill intentions towards me, would you be talking so much?

Upon closer inspection, he increasingly felt that this jade tablet was extraordinary. It emanated a subtle fragrance, tranquil and distant, inexplicably reminding him of the blue lotus, which is to be admired from afar and not to be profaned.

He paid no attention to the sound. Instead, with a face as calm as a still lake, he adjusted the unfamiliar clothing he was wearing, turned, walked to the door, closed the room door that had been pushed open by that woman, picked up the wine jug that had fallen to the ground, placed it on the Eight Immortals table inside the room, and then casually picked up a rather exquisite purple clay teapot, poured a cup of tea, and quenched his thirst

Where did I bully her! It was she who kept asking me a series of inexplicable questions, asking me for a piece of inexplicable jade, and in the end, did she not leave inexplicably on her own?

He turned his head to look, and at the door stood a round-faced young girl. She bent over, resting her hands on her knees, and shouted breathlessly: "Miss, where are you going? Huh~ It's so late, wait for me~"

This is the Duke of Jingnan's residence in the Qianjing of the Great Chu Dynasty

Did I forget something important

She has just had her heart shattered

Looking at the tower, looking at the tower... I have unexpectedly returned to the Xuanhuang Realm

This girl, Zhao Rong shook his head with a bitter smile, wondering what peculiarities he had encountered tonight... She should be Zhao Qian'er, the personal maid of Zhao Lingfei

Is this related to the jade pendant she asked me about?

Before he could even defend himself, the young girl tossed out a remark, "Hmph, I won't pay any more attention to you," and hurriedly ran off.

Zhao Rong: "???"

"Who?" Zhao Rong looked around in shock, finding no one in the room and silence outside the door. Am I hearing things?

Zhao Rong paused his actions, lifted the cup, and took a sip of tea. "As for how to converse with me, ha, you are either a great being, transmitting your voice from a thousand miles away; or you are a fallen existence, with only a wisp of residual soul residing within me or in the jade token in my hand. Both could probably make their voices heard in my sea of consciousness."

Suddenly, a crisp shout came from the corridor outside the door. A series of footsteps sounded and then came to a halt

It paused for a moment and self-deprecatingly said: "If you die, I will also be erased... Alright, it's your turn, hetushu.com.

You are not hearing things.

Where is this

She suddenly rose, releasing her tightly clenched jade-like hands, and stepped outside with a face full of indifference

I no longer wish to speak, as it has become uninteresting; the novelty after awakening has already faded. However, in order to clarify certain important matters, it has decided to take the initiative to speak up

Upon hearing this statement, Zhao Rong became even less flustered

Where is my jade pendant

You are not worthy of her

... ... return, you may call me return.

How lofty is the way of the sword, how inscrutable is the human heart, and how can the heart of the sword be tainted by even a speck of worldly dust. Her mind was originally as clear as crystal, and after this, she will sever her personal feelings and reshape her sword heart... Hehe, although you are useless yourself, you have done a good deed, not hindering others

Not long ago, he had smelled it on someone.

That voice repeated, "You are not worthy of her"

Zhao Lingfei fell silent

His eyelids twitched, and he felt that something was amiss

This time he did not speak

Moreover, when he had just woken up, he actually checked his attire and found that he was not wearing any jade items.

... ...

Miss, Miss

Zhao Rong took a while to regain his senses. ... What is this ...? ... Are you angry?

The two individuals face each other with four eyes.

Then, the round-faced girl tilted her head and peered into the room, glaring at the culprit and angrily exclaimed: "Stinky Rong'er, why have you made the young lady angry again! Didn't you promise me that you wouldn't bully the young lady anymore?"

You little rascal, do you still want to scare me? Zhao Rong curled the corner of his mouth.

one high and one low

Zhao Rong furrowed his brows slightly, pondering for a while, yet still found no clues.

What about the jade pendant

How should I address you? He set down the teacup, lightly contemplating a thought, and then began to play with the black bird jade poetry tablet.

Zhao Rong : `` ... ... ''

The woman furrowed her brows lightly, and Zhao Rong felt anxious

Zhao Rong took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and listened and judged carefully

Zhao Rong hurriedly stepped aside to make way for her, standing in place and foolishly gazing at the woman's silhouette

"So you are specifically here to mock me, are you?" Zhao Rong squinted his eyes, contemplating.

Return: `` ... ... ''

This was mentioned by his mother when he was young. ... She also said that Zhao Rong's hometown is actually not here, but in the distant South Xiaoyao Continent ...

She sniffed, her autumn water-like eyes scrutinizing him for a moment before she no longer looked at him again

That is my jade token

It seems that one has come to an understanding of something

The woman looked up at him and spoke word by word

Could she be referring to this jade pendant? ... No, the colorful ribbon tied to it seems a bit familiar ...

Rebirth, huh? I understand the tricks; you are most likely my golden finger. You don't seem like a system, so are you a portable grandpa or grandma?

Zhao Rong paused and said: "I tend to prefer the latter. So may I ask which category you belong to?"

It continued: "However, this is a good thing. A woman practicing swordsmanship can only achieve great freedom by transcending her emotions."
