Kan Wenxiao’s expression did not change, and he just put down the ivory chopsticks in his hand. They made a “snap” sound against the porcelain plate on the table.
Jian Xiuyun thought he would get mad, but in the next moment, a smile appeared on his lips. He looked at him and said, “Alright.”
Unexpectedly, the next moment, he tentatively called out, “Xiuyun.”
Jian Xiuyun’s heart bubbled with rage, and the tail of his eyes reddened. He slapped his palm on the table and gritted his teeth, “Kan Wenxiao, do you still have any morals left in your heart?”
Kan Wenxiao seemed not to have heard anything. His gaze fell on his hand.
Jian Xiuyun looked very beautiful, fair and slender, like fine jade that would break with the lightest touch.
Kan Wenxiao held his hand, rubbed the reddened skin, and lowered his head as he said, “You told me to follow my own heart.”
“What?” Jian Xiuyun took back his hand, a little confused.
Kan Wenxiao looked at his suddenly empty palm, and his fingers curled slightly, as if they wanted to hold onto something.
“On Mount Zhouluo.” Kan Wenxiao said.
When Jian Xiuyun heard this, he recalled that he had indeed said so, but at that time he thought Kan Wenxiao liked Song Qingru.
He didn’t expect that he would remember it until now.
Jian Xiuyun was somewhat in disbelief. Kan Wenxiao had fallen in love with him since back then.
Jian Xiuyun felt flustered for a moment, turning away and stopping to look at him. He said awkwardly, “If everyone followed their own ideas and acted randomly, wouldn’t it be a mess? Human ethics must still be maintained.”
After he finished speaking, the room fell into silence, except for the charcoal fire burning intensely and making crackling sounds.
“Shizun, can’t you accept me like this? Even if…” Kan Wenxiao suddenly became mute.
Jian Xiuyun turned his head, but before he could see his expression clearly, Kan Wenxiao suddenly stood up and walked out.
When he reached the door, his footsteps halted. He put his fingers on the door and clicked lightly, and someone immediately came to greet him.
“The charcoal is almost burnt out, please add more.”

Of course, Jian Xiuyun had no time to worry about that.
When they were at Guyu Villa, he and Yu Shaozhi held the army back for a moment, allowing Lin Liaoting and Song Qingru to escape.
Later, he was brought here, but didn’t know where Yu Shaozhi was imprisoned.
Before he could find out Yu Shaozhi’s whereabouts, he was found again in Xuyu Peak. He had no clue what the situation would be like there.
And Lin Liaoting.
He and Kan Wenxiao now had a blood feud, and Jian Xiuyun feared that he would do something stupid in the heat of the moment.
He was not Kan Wenxiao’s opponent before, and even less so now.
But he had lost his spiritual power, and was locked here without being able to get out, even if he had the will.
He was lost in thought when suddenly, he felt someone tugging his sleeve.
Jian Xiuyun looked down and saw that it was Xue Rongxiang.
After not seeing it for many days, it had grown a lot and was already as big as his palm, but it still had the appearance of a flower.
Jian Xiuyun was a little surprised.
Xue Rongxiang had been following him for so many years and had been nourished by spiritual power, and it was close to transforming.
Therefore, when he went to Ancient Stone City with Lin Liaoting, he did not bring Xue Rongxiang with him. Instead, he found an undisturbed spiritual cave for it and let it stay there to transform.
Unexpectedly, it had not been successful yet.
Jian Xiuyun poked its petals and asked, “Why are you still like this?”
Xue Rongxiang patted his hand with its petals and said aggrievedly, “Don’t poke me. Do you think I want to be like this?”
“What’s going on?” Jian Xiuyun stopped teasing it and withdrew his hand.
Hearing this, Xue Rongxiang seemed to have thought of something. Its petals trembled, and it threw itself into his arms.
“It scared me to death! I was about to transform that day, but suddenly I heard a commotion outside. It took a long time to quiet down. I was about to go out to take a look, but the barrier suddenly broke, and a man in black walked in. His body reeked heavily of blood, and I was about to run away, but he grabbed me.”
When Jian Xiuyun heard this, he immediately thought of Kan Wenxiao.
Sure enough, he heard it continue, “I thought he was going to eat me, but he said, ‘Long time no see.’ I looked at him for a long time before I recognized that he was my brother. He has changed so much. And then he brought me out.”
Speaking of this, Xue Rongxiang’s petals trembled even more fiercely, “When we went out, there were a lot of corpses and blood outside.”
Jian Xiuyun thought of what Kan Wenxiao said that day, “If they would rather die than surrender, I will spare their lives.” He felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet.
“Then?” Jian Xiuyun’s voice was a little dry and hoarse.
“Then my brother brought me here. I think the current him is a bit scary. I wanted to run away, but then I detected your breath and came here. Woohoo, I finally found you!” As Xue Rongxiang said that, it snuggled a little deeper into his arms.
Jian Xiuyun thought of Lin Liaoting and hurriedly asked, “Have you seen Liaoting and the others?”
Xue Rongxiang shook its head, “No.”
Jian Xiuyun couldn’t decide for a moment whether this was good news or bad news.
He knew that he should look at the long-term view now, but after listening to Xue Rongxiang’s words, he remembered the phrase “spare” that he overheard a few days ago.
Who did Kan Wenxiao kill? And who would be spared?
Jian Xiuyun felt like his heart was in turmoil. He walked back and forth in the room for a while. As if he suddenly thought of something, he picked up Xue Rongxiang and said, “Please lend me some spiritual power.”
When Xue Rongxiang heard this, its petals trembled again.
–
Rong Xia had just returned from Kan Wenxiao’s place. It was snowing heavily outside. Even though he held an umbrella, his front was still quite wet.
He stood under the eaves, closed the umbrella, and began to pat the snow off his body.
Suddenly, the tips of his ears twitched slightly and he heard slight footsteps behind him.
Rong Xia quickly turned around, and then a gust of wind hit his face.
He barely dodged it, but when he took a closer look, he saw it was Jian Xiuyun.
“Jian…” before he could finish his words, Jian Xiuyun struck him on the neck with his palm, and then his body fell down softly.
Jian Xiuyun quickly supported his limp body and dragged him into the house.
There were already more than a dozen people lying scattered inside.
Jian Xiuyun lost his spiritual power, so Kan Wenxiao didn’t place any experts around him. The people serving him were ordinary people, so it was not difficult to get rid of them.
Jian Xiuyun settled Rong Xia, fished out the key from his robes, and exited the room. He locked the door behind him and quickly ran out.
Xue Rongxiang was just a spiritual medicinal plant, and its spiritual power was not abundant, so Jian Xiuyun didn’t dare use it liberally.
Therefore, he dressed up in advance and wore the clothes of an attendant, trying not to draw attention to himself.
“Then, where should we go?” Jian Xiuyun asked softly.
Xue Rongxiang’s voice was softer and weaker than his, “West.”
“Are you sure?” Jian Xiuyun asked.
“Not sure, but the smell of blood is the strongest there, so it should be the location of the dungeon.”
This sentence seemed to use up all of Xue Rongxiang’s strength. After saying that, she lay down in Jian Xiuyun’s sleeve and refused to say another word.
Jian Xiuyun touched its petals and said comfortingly, “Thank you for your hard work, have a good rest.”
Hearing this, Xue Rongxiang whimpered and said clearly, “You must return the spiritual power to me twofold.”
