Chapter 39 The Infatuated Young Master (15)
Then Lin Jingyi looked at Nie Shuangshuang with a thoughtful expression. Nie Shuangshuang lowered her head guiltily, and her expression could not be seen.
Let's leave here first and then ask.
Lin Jingyi looked toward the source of the chilling voice.
There, at the far end, was a man in a red robe tied to a piece of wood, arranged in the shape of the Chinese character "木" (wood).
As I approached the man, the air was thick with the stench of blood.
Mo Wuji's head hung limply. He struggled to lift his face and stared intently at Nie Shuangshuang behind Lin Jingyi. Her hair was disheveled and she had multiple wounds on her body, all of which were bleeding.
A smile played at the corners of his lips.
He finally found Shuangshuang.
Looking at the disheveled Mo Wuji, Nie Shuangshuang felt a pang of pain in her heart. She tried her best to hold back her tears and dared not speak.
Lin Jingyi moved closer to Mo Wuji and asked in a low, questioning voice, "Mo Wuji, why didn't you let your subordinates continue?"
Mo Wuji looked up and saw Nie Shuangshuang looking at him with a pained expression, and a warm feeling washed over him.
His two sisters felt sorry for him.
Thinking of the culprit who had prevented him and Shuangshuang from being together, Mo Wuji looked at Lin Jingyi indifferently: "What does this have to do with you?"
Lin Jingyi had her back to Nie Shuangshuang, but she could see the changes in Nie Shuangshuang's expression with her divine sense. At this moment, Nie Shuangshuang covered her mouth with one hand. After hearing Mo Wuji's voice, tears silently streamed down her face. She tightly covered her mouth, not making a sound.
Lin Jingyi was not annoyed by Mo Wuji's words and said calmly, "She loves me. She will not be your future wife. She will be my future wife. What does that have to do with me? Why are your subordinates slandering her?"
"She doesn't like you." Mo Wuji said with certainty, his smile unchanged.
He was a man who deserved to die, but being able to see Shuangshuang one last time before he died made him feel no regrets.
The master of Yanxue Manor tortured him this morning, and he has already reached his limit by the time he has endured this long.
"Shuangshuang..." Mo Wuji whispered Nie Shuangshuang's name, then his head suddenly drooped and he fainted.
Nie Shuangshuang wanted to rush over and hug Mo Wuji, but Yan Zhao was nearby, so she couldn't reveal her presence.
Nie Shuangshuang could only shed tears silently.
Lin Jingyi turned to look at Nie Shuangshuang, but only saw her back.
Lin Jingyi: ...You reacted pretty quickly.
Why are Shuangshuang turning her back on me?
Nie Shuangshuang took a deep breath, turned around and pulled Lin Jingyi, whispering, "This Mo Wuji looks too scary, I'm a little afraid, let's go?"
"Okay." Lin Jingyi nodded and left with Nie Shuangshuang.
As soon as they came out of the dungeon, Xiao Yue and Xiao Ling saw their master come out and hurriedly went forward to greet him.
Nie Shuang's eyes were red and swollen, clearly from crying. Xiao Ling asked worriedly, "Miss Nie, are you feeling unwell?"
This is, after all, a girl favored by the young master of the manor, so as a maid, I should still show her some concern.
"I... just now... the smell inside was a bit unpleasant, I couldn't stand it." Nie Shuangshuang felt that this maid was being nosy; even her young master didn't ask, so why was she being so nosy?
Thinking this, she gripped Xiaoling's arm a little tighter. Xiaoling felt a little pain, but she still endured it.
Xiao Ling quietly withdrew her hand.
"Shuangshuang, do you know what those words of that demonic sect member named Tu Tian meant?"
Lin Jingyi looked at Nie Shuangshuang, his emotions in his eyes remained unchanged, but a smile appeared on his lips.
Nie Shuangshuang stiffened, and guessed uncertainly, "Perhaps, that person wants to sow discord between me and Brother Yan?"
Lin Jingyi nodded, then changed the subject: "It's not impossible, but... how does that person know you?"
Upon hearing this, Nie Shuangshuang burst into tears as if they were free, her face streaked with tears.
Lin Jingyi hugged her in a panic, and heard her say intermittently, "He... was also there on the night he slaughtered my Nie family. Now I am the only one left in the Nie family in Lanzhou. The people of the Demonic Sect are too arrogant. They want to kill us all and have even chased us to Yanxue Manor."
Exterminate them all? If Lin Jingyi remembered correctly, when Nie Shuangshuang first said that her family had been wiped out, she raised her sword at Mo Wuji and then fainted. When she woke up, everyone was gone.
Lin Jingyi felt that Nie Shuangshuang was quite contradictory, but she didn't expose her and just watched her act.
Then Nie Shuangshuang continued:
"It's all my fault. I've dragged Brother Yan and Yanxue Manor into this mess."
Lin Jingyi patted her back reassuringly: "Okay, stop crying. You're all teary-eyed. I'll protect you from now on."
"Um……"
Afterwards, Lin Jingyi escorted Nie Shuangshuang back and then went straight to the library to study.
She had already seen most of the third level; the remaining techniques were all similar, with roughly the same principles.
So today she's going to the fourth floor to learn some unparalleled martial arts.
In the days that followed, Lin Jingyi often stayed by Nie Shuangshuang's side, and even when she wasn't there, he would have Xiaoling watch over her.
She wanted to see how Nie Shuangshuang would rescue Mo Wuji.
Lin Jingyi and Nie Shuangshuang's feelings for each other deepened over time.
Yan's father strongly opposed his son's relationship with Nie Shuangshuang, but his son refused to undergo a medical examination, so he simply gave up and stopped interfering.
Yan's mother and Yan Ge were very satisfied with Nie Shuangshuang and couldn't wait for Lin Jingyi to marry the girl.
But Nie Shuangshuang kept dragging her feet and refused to agree. Lin Jingyi originally didn't want to marry her, but when he saw that she didn't agree, he put the pressure on her from Yan's mother and Yan Ge.
As the year drew to a close, one night, something was knocking on Nie Shuangshuang's window.
Then the unique code of the Demonic Sect sounded, and Nie Shuangshuang opened the window.
He was a subordinate of the Left Protector of the Demonic Cult.
He looked out the window and whispered to Nie Shuangshuang inside, "Miss Nie, do you know where the cult leader is being held?"
He searched Yanxue Manor for several days but couldn't find the sect leader. Then he discovered that Nie Shuangshuang was here, so he had no choice but to come and ask her.
He was gambling, gambling on Nie Shuangshuang's feelings for the cult leader, gambling on whether she would announce his appearance to the public.
Fortunately, he won his gamble, and the sweat from the Left Protector's hands slid to the ground.
"Wait a moment, I will go and draw the topographical map for you."
When Nie Shuangshuang saw the familiar face, she was overjoyed. Finally, someone had come to rescue her brother Wuji.
She turned around, picked up a brush, and quickly drew a map on the paper showing the route to the dungeon where Mo Wuji was imprisoned and the number of guards.
Then he handed the completed drawing to that person.
"Thank you, Miss Nie."
The man took the map, thanked him, and soon disappeared into the night.
When Nie Shuangshuang saw that the person had disappeared, she quickly closed the window, her heart pounding. She was terrified of being discovered.
This will not only hurt her, but Wuji will also suffer.
She was relieved that no one had noticed.
But Lin Jingyi knew all of this. Although the subordinate of that demonic sect had excellent lightness skills, Lin Jingyi had also discovered them.
She didn't care; all she needed to do was protect the lives of the people in the mountain village.
If the useless Mo Wuji returns to the Demonic Sect, can he still become the sect leader?
The next morning, Xiao Yue came to tell Lin Jingyi that Mo Wuji and Miss Nie had both disappeared.
