Chapter 8

Alas, Chuhufa, since you say you are no match for the idle clouds, why not let them accompany you

She thought for a moment and suddenly burst into laughter. What is there to ask? Is there anything worth asking? Should she inquire about his feelings towards the young lady of Tangjiabao?

After a swift sweep, he finally discovered the red-tiled roof, with dim lights both inside and outside. About ten celestial servants were lined up in order as they entered the hall. He pondered for a moment, unable to decipher Che Yanyan's thoughts, and thus lifted the red tiles.

What follows is further elaboration

Fortunately, she possesses remarkable endurance and patience

Goodbye, Heartthrob Potion

I really want to say that I believe, but you need to give me some time. For now, I can only tell you that I am not afraid; even if you abandon me again, I will still regard you as family. Family never gives up, and you will always be the first family member in my heart

The dungeon of the White Ming Sect is clean and does not torture people, which has always been a source of great comfort for her. She walked slowly behind Deng Haitang, who was dressed in festive attire, while she herself was clad in white. One wonders if this could be considered a contrast of red and white

He responded with a sound

She raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Am I so easy to see through?"

What is it? You need not feel guilty. Isn't this how the world works? If you save me, I thank you; if you cannot save me, then let us each go our own way. Back then, as a slave, you were forced to be under my command, and I feared day and night that you would murder me, a ten-year-old child. Therefore, everything was fair: you had the slave collar, and so did I; you were forced to bear tattoos on your face, and from then on, I bore the same tattoos as you. I taught you martial arts not for you to promote it, but to protect me. This is the nature of our ten-year relationship, each fulfilling our own needs. Today, I come to tell you that we owe each other nothing. I have removed your slave collar, and from now on, we shall each walk our own path.

In order to force her to reveal herself and confirm that she is alive, he will undoubtedly return to the leader's side, even if it takes one or two years. He Yuehua is no longer the young master of Tianhe Manor; ten years can change a person. If this continues, one day he may have the heart to kill righteous individuals, and he will not show mercy. This is He Zai.

He stared at her and then insisted: "A broad back and a strong waist are what make a man."

The iron cages on both sides were locked with the heavenly slaves inside. As she passed by one of the cages, she cast a calm glance at it.

Has the young lady been living happily these past six months

She looked at him again, smiling, as she took the jade flute from his astonished yet barely concealed joyful gaze

With a clang, the iron cage was locked shut

She was taken aback upon hearing this

The warm spring day just now was actually meant for her. Tonight he has come, likely with a restless heart, determined to confirm her life and death, her safety at the very first moment

Every man has his own characteristics, but her heart remains unmoved... In any case, she plans to bide her time until dawn, by which time the various sects of the martial world at the foot of the mountain will have ascended, allowing her to escape a calamity.

She smiled again: "I am just making up for it"

I remember that at the wedding banquet, there was indeed a young woman with the surname Tang, around eighteen years old, beautiful and charming. I always found it strange why her attire was different from mine; it turned out to be due to her competitive spirit. She and Xianyun were quite a match.

"Miss." The man said hoarsely, his tone betraying his excitement

The people on the roof remain silent

Jiang Wubo blinked and gazed at her

Did the girl ask me to kill him

Miss Jiang, I have caused you trouble

She touched her nose and secretly stifled a yawn. It was all due to the bad habit she developed during the six months at Yun Family Village. In order to maintain her health, she had gotten used to going to bed early, which now left her extremely drowsy, making it so that as soon as her head hit the pillow, she would be out cold

She licked her lips and said softly, "I think tonight is not about saving us, is it"

She nodded in agreement, after all, men tend to emphasize their masculinity while disregarding others. As she touched the slightly damaged jade flute, her expression softened. She casually remarked:

Then, her chin was lifted by someone, forcibly prying open her lips, and then she was kissed passionately

In the past, you were clearly a handsome young man, pleasing to the eye, making people's hearts bloom with joy. Ever since you practiced the Huangfu family's martial arts, you have become broad-shouldered and stocky. She shook her head and sighed: "Fortunately, I stopped progressing after practicing until the age of fourteen"

In the hall, the candlelight flickers

But ... ...

Taking a man from someone else has never been my style. In the past, if I wanted a man, and he had no one he cherished, then he would rightfully belong to me. If he had a woman he admired, it would be my skill to make him my subordinate, but I never owe anything to those women; I always seek to make amends. These days, my dear servant, just take a look and see if there is anyone you fancy, and tonight, may your wishes come true.

The young woman was taken away by the car protector, who inquired about many matters concerning the idle son of the clouds. Given the nature of the car protector, taking the young woman away was undoubtedly for the sake of this man. A smile curled at the corner of his mouth as he gazed at the piece of broken jade. I have seen this broken jade before. It was once a fine piece of jade, divided into four parts by the young woman, yet it ultimately returned to its rightful owner.

I am not that weak yet..." she mumbled

The familiar scent faded away, yet she wore a smile.

He did something unknown, and a flash of fire suddenly ignited. She focused her gaze and realized that they were behind a rockery, and in his palm was a half-burned small candle.

Deng Haitang was left speechless, and in the end, she could only ask:

Indeed, with the corners of his mouth not lifted, he presented a demeanor that was distinctly cold.

A smile crept at the corners of his mouth. "No."

The man on the roof tiles had bright, piercing black eyes

She lifted her face, just brushing against his smooth cheek. She imagined his smile like a spring breeze, and couldn't help but feel delighted. It is truly strange that for the past half month, she has been thinking only of his smile towards his family at Yun Family Manor. This is not very good; being too infatuated can easily lead to hurt.

He looked at her and then spoke softly, which was a rare occurrence

Now, she must demonstrate her endurance skills

If today the belt of the clothes I am wearing still reaches the ground, I would never have come here

The figure, merging with the profound darkness of the night, resembles a flying duck, drifting as if it were a spirit; even when confronted head-on by a believer, it swiftly glides away like a gust of wind, leaving no one disturbed

He gazed at her quietly, as if he could not get enough of her

She looked at him indifferently and said, "Am I truly that important to you"

If it were a girl from the past, surviving would mean simply walking away, never to be seen again

That ... ...

What is it, do you think you can outsmart me?

"I cannot take you away just yet," he said calmly. "The White Ming Sect dares to abduct people during the martial arts champion's wedding banquet, intending to alarm the senior elders and officials present. They are currently at the foot of the mountain and will ascend early tomorrow morning. The Yun family has a family rule that prohibits interference in matters of the martial world. I have never met the leader of the White Ming Sect; you mentioned that he has gone mad. If anything happens tomorrow, you will undoubtedly be the first to bear the brunt. I cannot guarantee your safety. If someone strikes at you, at the very least, it can prevent damage to your vital energy."

Jiang Wubo had not yet had time to react when his slender waist was embraced by someone, and his entire body was nestled in that person's arms, as if a divine being riding the wind. In the blink of an eye, they exited the hall, sweeping past the frozen celestial servants, and arrived at a distant concealed spot.

In the night, it unexpectedly brought his faint smile

She blinked, then blinked again... Her heart raced a little, but she thought she could control it; such enthusiasm was something she had never encountered in her life... Well, she had to admit, with only twenty years of life experience, she had seen many things, but this kind of thing, she had only encountered in spring dreams

She was completely bewildered, yet she saw He Zai handing her one of the pills. He Zai spoke to her loudly:

She cast a glance at him. "In all matters, patience comes first; it is not yet at this stage. I mean, thanks to him, I have heard many tales from the rivers and lakes, including those about the Gongsun family. The Gongsun family has always had a bad habit of marrying within their own kin, such as sworn brothers and sisters, cousins, and the like. Of course, it is not intentional, but somehow they still end up together. Therefore, many people have long wanted to become sworn siblings with Gongsun Yun, and unfortunately, she was the one chosen from the crowd.

This man stands tall and firm, and everyone can rely on him, but... what the hell, she is actually comforting him...

The expression on Gao Da Tian Nu's face was even more unpredictable

Now we must find a way to escape! Deng Haitang tore off the excessively long celebratory garment and groped for possible escape routes

"Sigh, indeed," she said, lowering her eyes and toying with her belt. "Many people do not believe she is dead; the leader of the Bai Ming Sect does not believe it, nor does He Ronghua's elder brother. The leader has been waiting for an opportunity, but unfortunately, he has become obsessed and is on the brink of death, unable to wait much longer. As for He Yuehua, he is convinced that Huangfu Yun is still alive, which is why he returned to the Bai Ming Sect, willingly imprisoning himself in this dungeon. He believes that as long as she is alive, she will eventually come to rescue him. Even if Tian He Manor spreads the news that He Yuehua has returned to the manor, Huangfu Yun will still see through it all."

He was dressed in a nightgown, his long hair not tied up as usual, but instead bound behind him, with a few strands of black silk falling onto his forehead, giving his handsome face an air of ethereal and aloof beauty.

Jiang Wubo still kept his eyes lowered and said

May I ask, young lady

"You will know suffering in the future." That voice finally concealed a hint of laughter

On that day, you lamented that I was not a man, but who knows what you intended to do

He held her for a moment before saying, "Take care, I will see you back."

What was it that almost instantaneously sensed something unusual, grasping that brocade box

There are some matters I must clarify

That night, she fought with Che Yanyan, who had many subordinates, some strong and some weak. The fight inevitably resulted in injuries, leaving numerous bloodstains in the courtyard. He must have been staring at the puddles of blood on the ground, speculating about who had left them behind

"Miss, I do not mean to abandon you... He is the last son of my father, and will be the only son. He is rather weak in character, his will not as strong as yours. I thought to myself, you would never give up on any chance of survival, even if you fell off a cliff or were hacked at by others with knives; as long as there is a breath left, you would not give up. Therefore, I... saved him, and then descended the cliff to find you... only to find a corpse, the Tian Nu bell, and the jade flute." By the time I spoke that last sentence, my tone was already filled with pain.

Hmm. What is it that leans against the iron railing, closing its eyes to rest?

A faint sound came from within. He got up again, gauged the position of the sound, and moved forward a distance of 20 steps before lifting half a tile beneath his feet

"Unable to win." He was beaming with joy: "The girl has a soft heart; she will return sooner or later"

Of course, I fell off the cliff. I broke my bones, my internal organs shifted, and my head was bleeding. She stood up, facing He Zai, brushed aside her bangs, revealing the scar on her forehead. "You are right. On that day, I thought I had no vitality left, clearly waiting to go to the Western Pure Land, but at the last moment, my body instinctively fought for survival, and I ended up lying in bed for four months. It was my strong endurance that allowed me to recover so quickly in these four months."

One day, Nu ran to the candlestick to light the candles, but found that the wicks had been pulled out. When he turned around, he was petrified and unable to move.

"Jiang Wubo?" He pondered, then chuckled softly: "The river is calm, I should have realized it earlier. It turns out it was indeed Gongsun Yun who saved the person. Back then, I held some hope, thinking he would make a move to rescue them, but unexpectedly, the hidden weapons in the forest forced him to withdraw. In the end, he saved the young lady... Does the young lady have feelings for someone now?"

Did Che Yanyan discover Miss Jiang's identity? Deng Haitang gritted her teeth and said: "What good could come from a midnight abduction by Chaitian Nu?"

Are you here just to deliver the medicine

Jiang Wubo looked at her and politely asked, "Chari Guardian, have you perhaps used the wrong term?"

She smiled and said

This sentence left her somewhat puzzled, but she did not inquire further, only smiling and saying

"If you have something to say, please ask quickly," he said softly

Suddenly, she found herself being tightly embraced by someone. Has she been constantly thinking about her own loneliness, yet forgotten the thoughts of that person who was unable to be saved on that day?

It is nothing much, just to inform you that I am doing well, no need to worry

Oh, the demon... She thought to herself... So it turns out, she practiced her忍功 just for tonight...

He held her very tightly, not as if he were moved by love, but rather as if he were afraid she might fall off the cliff again

After ten years of being together, how could she not know this person's temperament

Not bad. Jiang Wubo is my current name, I have food to eat, and a place to sleep, quite carefree.

What ... ... '' Deng Haitang quickly stifled her exclamation and stepped forward to look at He Zai opening that small box through the iron bars

Originally, he does not like white, but the white robe can bring out his coldness and distance. Other colors, however, can make this person shine with captivating brilliance, like a charming moonlight flooding the ground, regardless of gender.

He is unkind, and I am also unjust. Come, come, line up one by one, let me see which one is better. Those who know the times are wise; if one does not obediently submit to her now, one might be forcibly pushed into the fray later. It is better to choose someone pleasing to the eye oneself.

Then, she was embraced, and in the blink of an eye, she found herself back in the hall. Her cheek was gently touched by him, and suddenly her acupoints were pressed, leaving her unable to move, standing rigidly in place

Jiang sighed quietly. In the past two years, she had heard about Che Yanyan's way of doing things. She wanted both face and men. On the surface, she seduced men with her charm, even if the other party was interested in someone else, she would use her real abilities to win over that man... She would never resort to killing or robbing for a man...

She touched her moist red lips and swallowed the pill

Leisurely Cloud, I now feel that enjoying the health-conscious meals from Yunjiacun is quite pleasant

What a pity, gently caressing the jade flute, he said

Deng Haitang widened her eyes. "Are you Huangfu Yun? No, that's not right, Huangfu Yun doesn't look like this; her face also has tattoos."

"I fear pain and do not wish to be pricked. That is done with a brush," Jiang Wubo admitted

That day at the foot of the cliff, upon seeing the Tian Nu Ling and the jade flute, I understood the young lady's intentions

If it is not the Master summoning, then there is nothing to discuss

Deng Haitang said with hatred: "This is simply in opposition to the Central Plains. Is the leader of the White Ming Sect insane?"

Just—

Vehicle Protection Law

"That's simple." Jiang Wubo stifled another yawn. "You may go ahead, I will not stop you."

Ding ding dang dang, the familiar sound of the bell is ringing incessantly in the dungeon. It has been at least six months since she last heard such a bell, and now it sounds so piercing.

Jiang Wubo blinked and looked at the bride with great interest. So this is the heroine of the Jianghu. Clearly, on that day, she saw the Fairy Haitang speaking softly to Xianyun, but now she relies solely on herself. Impressive!

This is the last time he said in a hoarse voice There will be no such thing happening again in the future

A servant opened the iron cage next door and let the two of them in. Deng Haitang stumbled for a moment, and she supported her in time

Jiang took a breath and said, "You scared me. I thought it was you pressing my acupoint..."

He squinted his handsome eyes and noticed that there were two women sitting in the hall, one of whom was his target for the evening

Deng Haitang paused for a moment, her gaze shifting from Jiang Wubo to the tall man behind the iron railing.

What is so good about idle clouds? Why are you so obsessed with them?

Such a question is absolutely pointless

Are you alright? he asked in a hushed voice

She walked with her hands behind her back, laughing lightly

Che Yanyan coldly laughed: "In fact, how could idle clouds be suitable for you? At the time I captured you, he was happily meeting with the young lady of the Tang family in the banquet hall."

"Alas, the main teaching is nothing more than the resurrection of Huangfu Yun," Jiang Wubo sighed

Leaping onto the building, the black roof tiles made it easier for him to conceal himself. Six years ago, when he escaped from Tianbi Cliff, he sketched a map in his mind that lost three parts of its accuracy. Fortunately, his tendency to get lost did not disrupt him tonight, so he only wasted a stick of incense before finding the dungeon

The man on the roof, upon hearing this, disregarded whether they had taken the pills or not, and chose to head east

Jiang Wubo stifled a yawn and, noticing her expression darken, smiled and said

Jiang Wubo, upon hearing these words, nearly fell to the ground

Hurry up and investigate! Block all the paths down the mountain. I would like to see who dares to come to the White Ming Sect to demonstrate. Take her back to the prison first

"The kind of tolerance that is hard for a girl to imagine," he said hoarsely, his eyes filled with excitement

Miss, would you grant me another chance? I have repaid the debt of your upbringing and am no longer entangled in any obligations.

"Young Master He, are you awake?"

This is good. Since I have the jade flute, what you possess, I must also have; what I possess, you will also have, without distinction between us. In the past, I always regarded you as family but doubted that you would eventually betray me. However, today you have sworn brotherhood with me, and from now on, we shall be considered as close kin, relying on each other, regardless of age, and addressing each other by name. In the future, if you have a wife, I will respectfully call her sister-in-law. " With that, she extended her hand. In the past, I always regarded you as family but doubted that you would eventually betray me. However, today you have sworn brotherhood with me, and from now on, we shall be considered as close kin, relying on each other, regardless of age, and addressing each other by name. In the future, if you have a wife, I will respectfully call her sister-in-law. " With that, she extended her hand.

Seeing this, the believer rushed forward to unlock Che Yanyan's acupoint. The latter immediately slapped him. "A bunch of useless people, allowing someone to brazenly come in and rob... are you still here?"

"So you still intend to stay in a place like this, waiting for my return?" It was somewhat infuriating to say the least. Ever since she heard that He Zai was never seen at Tianhe Manor, she knew that this fellow had no intention of staying at Tianhe Manor.

However, the Tian Nu Huan cannot be solved forever...

No, what is she enduring? Some things can be tolerated, while others do not need to be. Just as she was about to "offer me a papaya in return for a jade pendant" to repay the favor, she discovered that the other party had presented her with a pill on the tip of their tongue before withdrawing.

She smiled. "I understand."

This kiss is truly passionate and lingering. He is certain that she cannot see his expression at this moment, so he kisses her with abandon

When will someone come to rescue? What is their ultimate purpose?

He Ronghua may not appear to be perceptive, but she has indeed noticed. Such a person can no longer remain in Tianhe Manor

This feeling is truly unfamiliar, yet it inexplicably stirs a sense of joy within her

She slowly walked around them, habitually wanting to play with her jade flute, but before being taken out of the dungeon, the jade flute was handed over to He Zai, alas

Inside, there is a tall celestial servant who is resting with his eyes closed, not paying attention to the people.

His features were imbued with the essence of spring, exuding a warmth that seemed to fill the air with the fragrance of blooming flowers. She swallowed hard

On that day, she casually listened, and now she is suffering the consequences

Miss Deng, if you cannot find a way out, it would be better to wait for someone to come and rescue you. She is a parasite, so it is more convenient to have someone come to save her

She responded with a sound, suddenly pulling down his neck and touching the corner of his mouth

What a pity, you are no longer suited to be a servant of heaven. I am no longer the Huangfu Yun of the past

The man on the roof silently rose, staring for a moment at the dungeon below his feet. He took a small brocade box from his waist, placed a piece of broken jade into the box, and then gently flicked it into the dungeon.

The young lady ... ... '' His pupils suddenly constricted

She thought that even the poppy could lose control at times... Although he usually dutifully released his toxins. She slightly lifted her toes, releasing a small impulse, and kissed the corner of his mouth

Deng Haitang felt a bit anxious. "Miss Huangfu... No, will there be any consequences if Miss Jiang is taken away like this?"

Ah, what kind of medicine is that

Did you really fall off the cliff

Hmph, the man I desire must always be submissive beneath my feet

What a gaze she has, slowly beginning to speak

make up for

She blinked, then touched the jade flute, and finally said with a smile

She was taken aback, this aura...

Jiang Wubo's eyes rolled around as he saw the heavenly slaves and Yan Yan being immobilized by pressure points.

He gazed at her, offering no response, only remaining silent as he gently caressed the jade flute that once symbolized their bond.

Shouldn't she be grateful that he believes, regardless of the circumstances, that she has the ability to protect herself and will not die

You and I have shared a decade of camaraderie; now you are no longer a servant, and I am no longer the Huangfu Yun of the past. However, this does not diminish our friendship for the next ten years. Wherever I go, this jade flute represents you; wherever you go, as long as there is a sword within this jade flute, it signifies that I have not forgotten you. Is this acceptable?

Ah, did I use it incorrectly? I will not hide it from Miss Jiang; the person coming to rescue you is already at the foot of the mountain, and naturally, it includes Xianyun. However, the young lady of the Tang family has been inseparable from him for the past half month... Do you understand what I mean?

... ... Hmm

... ... it's fine, just my heart is beating a bit fast. Did you give me poison?

Che Yanyan, filled with suspicion, carefully unblocked the acupoints of the other Tian Nu, and then proceeded to open the acupoints of Jiang Wubo.

Gongsun Yun, upon hearing this, merely smiled faintly and extinguished the candle. Suddenly, darkness enveloped the surroundings once more, and he said:

He slowly bent down, his expression cold, and gently moved a corner of the tile aside

He remained silent. After a while, he finally spoke in a hoarse voice:

I know. His expression was subdued

She stood before a young man marked by whip scars, about to provoke him, when suddenly the candlelight extinguished, plunging the hall into darkness.

Huangfu Yun?" Deng Haitang exclaimed, "Isn't that the Bai Ming Sect protector who was killed in the explosion six months ago?"

She slowly raised her eyes and met his handsome face, unable to help but feel a secret tremor in her heart

Is this what you call not being indebted? You first led those young women to betray, and then took advantage of the situation, didn't you

Dependent on each other... After the girl was abandoned by me, she finally became willing to trust others, and Gongsun Yun's contribution is not insignificant. His voice was somewhat bitter, yet he still cheerfully high-fived her. Then he continued, "From now on, if I abandon the girl again, I shall be struck by lightning from heaven"

What does the girl mean by squinting her eyes

Jiang Wubo nodded in agreement, sitting cross-legged by the iron cage railing connected to the adjacent one

Jiang Wubo sighed, stood up and said

The tenant next door heard the sound, suddenly opened his eyes wide, staring at the white figure behind the iron bars

Che Yanyan stood up in anger. "Your tone sounds so familiar, and I find it increasingly annoying. If you don't choose a suitable servant today, I will personally select one for you!"

You of the He family, please disclose any bad habits you may have, so that I may avoid stepping into a trap.

You need not feel any remorse; sooner or later, I will return to seek He Zai. This time, consider it a matter of going with the flow.

She pretended not to see and glanced outside the iron cage, thought for a moment, and said

Che Yanyan glared at her, and then turned her head and said angrily

She remained silent

He looked puzzled

What do I do by pressing your acupoint

I untied it when I was fourteen years old, and fearing that others would find out, I kept wearing it.

"You don't like him either?" Che Yanyan pressed her lips together. "Jiang Wubo, I am giving you a chance. These days, the slaves are merely temporary choices. Although they have tattoos on their faces, they are by no means inferior to idle clouds"

The young lady possesses exceptional endurance and will not encounter any issues

The vehicle protection law must be privately reviewed, naturally at her residence. Walk east from the dungeon, and you will see the red pavilion.

As I lay on the hospital bed recovering from my injuries, Gongsun Zhi, with nothing better to do, recited incessantly in my ear every day, to the point where I thought it might be better to just die at the bottom of the cliff.

Indeed, it is a dungeon

In recent days, the attendants around Che Yanyan, who usually wear masks, have all removed them today, and indeed, each one is quite impressive. No wonder they have all been taken as subordinates by this right protector.

After you return to the dungeon, practice your techniques for a while; this medicine can protect your heart meridian

She said seriously

A disciple, having been released from the hall, rushed in in a disheveled state, igniting a fire stick.

Hurry up and choose!

What is going on? Che Yan Yan shouted: "Quickly light the candle!"

"It's not too bad," she said

In half a month

"Where have I been soft-hearted?" she said淡声道.

Under the flickering candlelight, Jiang Wubo's expression was uncertain. She half-lowered her eyes and suddenly spoke:

Inside are two pills and a piece of broken jade

The man on the roof was staring at her intently

She is still able to endure

... ... not at all. Completely not.
