C2608 A knife that hurts people but doesn't bleed
CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE A Knife Without Blood
When Yang Liefeng and Duan Miaohan came out of their room, it was already dark by the time they went to the dining hall.
He thought that the rest of the higher ups of Killing Shrine had already eaten dinner, but he never thought that when the two arrived at the dining hall, everyone would be there. However, no one had eaten dinner, obviously, they were waiting for the two.
After Jiang Yan made a few jokes, Yang Liefeng and the red-faced Duan Miaohan took their seats.
Gong Qianye carried Xiao Yezi, and sat at the side, her eyes looking at Yang Liefeng and Duan Miaohan who had a much brighter appearance compared to before, a sour feeling in her heart.
"Daddy, where did you go before?"
At this time, Xiao Yezi's large gem eyes looked at Yang Liefeng, and asked with a childish voice.
Xiao Yezi's question caused the smiles on the crowd to freeze as they fell into silence.
Yang Liefeng and Duan Miaohan, the three of them, were even more embarrassed.
The entire air seemed to have frozen as it was filled with an awkward feeling.
"Daddy, why didn't you answer Xiao Yezi's question?"
Xiao Yezi stood up and ran over to Yang Liefeng's side. She raised her gem-like glass eyes, and looked at Yang Liefeng's embarrassed face and asked.
"Father..."
Yang Liefeng opened his mouth, but he did not know what to say, he could make up any words to deceive Xiao Yezi, but, for some reason, he could not do it.
When Gong Qianye saw this scene, not only was it awkward, her heart was extremely sour as well. Thinking of how their family of three had lived happily together, tears welled up in her eyes.
And this scene was noticed by Duan Miaohan, who was secretly watching Gong Qianye. Duan Miaohan's beautiful eyes immediately wavered, as her emotions became complicated.
"Xiao Yezi, your father is the hall master, and has a lot of things to do. He was too busy previously to accompany you, so you need to understand a bit more."
Seeing that everyone was frozen in place, Jiang Yu hurriedly said to Xiao Yezi.
Hearing that, Xiao Yezi's eyelashes fluttered as she looked at Jiang Yu and asked timidly: "My father is the Palace Lord?"
"That's right, your father is the hall master." Jiang Yu looked at Xiao Yezi's cute appearance, and said with a face full of love.
"Why is my father the Palace Lord? If my father is the hall master, then in the future, won't my father be able to accompany Xiao Yezi all the time? "
Xiao Yezi's eyes that were like gemstones, flowed with light as she looked at Jiang Yu and asked.
"This ?"
Jiang Yu did not know what to say to Xiao Yezi's question.
Hearing Xiao Yezi's question, Yang Liefeng and Duan Miaohan actually felt a little guilty at the same time. The two of them looked at each other and saw the same guilt in each other's eyes.
After Gong Qianye heard these words, she felt very sad in her heart. However, seeing that Yang Liefeng was in such a bad mood, Gong Qianye could not bear it any longer, and forced herself to stand up, walking to Xiao Yezi's side, squatting down, looking at Xiao Yezi, smiling gently: "Xiao Yezi, be good, your father is the Palace Mistress, there are a lot of things you can't do to stop him. With your mother accompanying you, don't bother your father anymore."
Hearing Gong Qianye's words, Yang Liefeng's heart slightly trembled, and she could not help but close her eyes. The light in Duan Miaohan's eyes also trembled slightly.
"I got it, Xiao Yezi." Xiao Yezi listened to Gong Qianye's words very well. After hearing Gong Qianye's words, although she was slightly unhappy in her heart, but she still agreed crisply.
"Xiao Yezi is so obedient. Let's go, sit back with mom."
Gong Qianye stood up, and pulled Xiao Yezi's small hand, returning to the seat from before.
"Alright, don't worry about it. I'll tell the kitchen to prepare the dishes immediately."
Gu Zixuan's beautiful eyes slightly moved, opening her mouth to ease the awkward atmosphere, then she went to the kitchen to inform the dishes to be served.
Yang Liefeng and the rest sat down, but the harmonious atmosphere was also broken. Everyone kept quiet, and only Jiang Yu and Jiang Yan kept quiet from time to time, intentionally trying to say something to save the atmosphere, but obviously, the effect was not so good.
After a short while, Gu Zixuan returned with a group of Killing Shrine disciples who had served dishes.
Everyone began to eat their food with their chopsticks.
Originally, everyone wanted to give Yang Liefeng a welcoming party today, but because the atmosphere was different, everyone didn't have that intention anymore. After a hasty dinner, they left one after another.
In the end, Yang Liefeng and Duan Miaohan also returned to Yang Liefeng's courtyard.
Along the way, the two of them did not say a word, as if their hearts were preoccupied.
It was only until they returned to Yang Liefeng's residence that Yang Liefeng realized that he was not alone in his room. Duan Miaohan had actually also come over.
However, he was not in the mood tonight either. And yet, in this kind of matter, it was not appropriate for him to reject Duan Miaohan, not only would it embarrass him, it would also cause Duan Miaohan to be troubled.
Just as Yang Liefeng was feeling conflicted from the pain, Duan Miaohan spoke out, "Ripping Wind, I have something I want to talk to you about."
Yang Liefeng was startled upon hearing this, and immediately asked: "What is it, speak."
"Ripping Wind, forgive me for my bluntness, but I feel that Gong Qianye seems to really like you." Duan Miaohan mustered up her courage and looked at Yang Liefeng, and said directly.
Hearing that, Yang Liefeng's eyes instantly flashed, and immediately after, he laughed dryly: "Wonderful, Miao Han, you're overthinking things. Gong Qianye is my sister, how can I like my sister?
Duan Miaohan shook her head lightly, and said: "No, I'm not jealous. Back during dinner, I had paid attention to Gong Qianye's expression. I'm sure that she really likes you."
"No, that's impossible. We are siblings. You must have felt wrongly." Yang Liefeng subconsciously turned his body around, and without looking at Duan Miaohan, he shook his head and laughed dryly.
Seeing that, both of Duan Miaohan's eyes became serious, and she said: "Look at you, you are clear on this point."
"Hu, nonsense, what do I know?" Hearing that, Yang Liefeng's eyes flashed, and he immediately shook his head.
"Your eyes are flashing. You are clearly lying. You know, Gong Qianye likes you!"
Duan Miaohan's eyes, stared at Yang Liefeng and said.
Hearing that, Yang Liefeng took a deep breath and said, "Miao Han, even if Big Sister Qian Ye likes me, that is still her problem. It has nothing to do with me. Rest assured, I will always be yours. "
"Look at me. Say that again."
Hearing this, Duan Miaohan's beautiful eyes slightly moved, her expression carried a touch of grief, and said to Yang Liefeng.
"What phrase?"
Yang Liefeng's throat moved slightly as he looked at Duan Miaohan with a guilty conscience, and asked while avoiding his gaze.
"You only like me."
Duan Miaohan's eyes stared at Yang Liefeng as she spoke.
When Yang Liefeng heard this, he hesitated for a moment. Then, he said somewhat guiltily, "I only like you."
"Why are you hesitating?" Duan Miaohan asked.
"I, I didn't hesitate. Maybe my reaction was a bit slow."
Yang Liefeng was startled, but immediately replied.
"Piercing Wind, you know that Gong Qianye likes you, and you actually like her too!"
Duan Miaohan looked at Yang Liefeng, her beautiful eyes narrowed and said.
Hearing that, Yang Liefeng's expression changed, and immediately after, he said: "Miao Han, you are wrongly accused, I have said it before, you are the only person I like, I can guarantee that I have never done anything to let you down!"
"I believe you haven't done anything to let me down," Duan Miaohan said seriously.
Hearing that, Yang Liefeng was startled, then immediately after, he asked: "Then why did you ? ?"
"You haven't done anything that would let me down, but I know that your heart no longer likes only me. You also like Gong Qianye."
Duan Miaohan interrupted Yang Liefeng and gazed at Yang Liefeng and said.
"No, I didn't. I was merely in a brotherly relationship with Sister Thousandleaf. She had saved my life before, so I am very grateful to her." Yang Liefeng immediately shook his head and firmly denied.
"Piercing Wind, you don't need to deny it, because I will not object to you liking someone more. I know that you did not accept Gong Qianye, because of me, I am grateful to you, but I hope that you will be happy, and if Gong Qianye likes you as much as Sister Zixuan, Zhan Yu, Kou Xiner, and the others, then I will not ask you to accept them."
"But, I know that you and Gong Qianye actually like each other, and I don't want to, because I, the two of you, who are clearly in love with each other, can't be together. Seeing Gong Qianye's expression today, my heart truly feels extremely uncomfortable."
"Furthermore, Gong Qianye is much more outstanding than me, she is more suitable for you than me. Furthermore, her strength is extraordinary, in the future, she will definitely be of great help to you!"
"Piercing Wind, listen to me, stay with her."
Duan Miaohan looked at Yang Liefeng, her beautiful eyes undulated, and said with emotion.
He did not expect that Duan Miaohan would actually see through it so clearly, and actually make such a choice. In an instant, he was stunned, but the more Duan Miaohan acted in such a reasonable manner, the more he could not bear to go against the oath she had made at that time, and the more she could not bear to make Duan Miaohan feel even the slightest bit of sadness.
"Miao Han, what nonsense are you talking about? The one I like is you, and it's only you. In my entire life, I won't like anyone else.
Yang Liefeng took a deep breath, suppressed his thoughts, steeled his mind, and said to Duan Miaohan.
"Windbreaker, why are you so stubborn?" Duan Miaohan frowned and asked.
"Alright, let's not talk too much. Since we have the time, we might as well continue to do something meaningful."
Yang Liefeng pulled Duan Miaohan over, and forcefully revealed an evil smile as he said this to Duan Miaohan.
"Piercing Wind, stop pretending. I know that you are not in the mood to continue. Since I am unable to convince you today, I will leave first."
Duan Miaohan struggled free from Yang Liefeng's embrace, then turned and left.
"Miao Han, you, why are you that ? so, so good!"
"This... "It makes it harder for me to make a choice..."
Looking at Duan Miaohan's beautiful figure that was leaving, the evil smile on Yang Liefeng's face instantly disappeared, the pained look on his face was replaced with a handsome face, and his eyes were filled with conflict and suffering.
?.
In the courtyard Gu Zixuan arranged for him, Gong Qianye sat in front of the stone table shrouded in moonlight and drank her bitter wine cup after cup.
In the room, Xiao Yezi had fallen asleep.
"Fate makes a fool of people. To fall in love with a person who doesn't like you is truly too painful!"
Gong Qianye sighed with emotion as she drank.
Because she was sad and upset, she did not notice that not far away, Gu Zixuan was standing in front of the cave in the courtyard, looking at her.0
Gu Zixuan's expression was extremely similar to shers. Upon hearing her words, his heart was slightly moved, and right after, he softly sighed in his heart, "Aren't I the same?
Having said that, Gu Zixuan raised her gaze to the sky and looked at the bright moon. It was as if she could see the scene of Yang Liefeng and Duan Miaohan being together blissfully on top of the bright moon.
A stream of clear tears fell down uncontrollably.
Not far away, Yang Liefeng who had come to visit Gong Qianye, looked at him with a pained gaze. She sighed in her heart and said: "Ai, I don't want to make you sad, but I am powerless.
After he sighed, Yang Liefeng shook his head and turned around to leave. Since he couldn't make them all feel good, then what was the difference between having one more and having one less?
At the very least, he would be able to keep his promise to Duan Miaohan, and not let Duan Miaohan feel sad.
"Creak."
Suddenly, the door to the room was pushed open and a tiny figure walked out. It was Xiao Yezi.
After Xiao Yezi woke up, she saw that Gong Qianye was not in the room so she left to look for him.
Seeing Gong Qianye in front of the stone table, she immediately ran over. Because Gong Qianye was sad, she had drunk too much wine and her senses were extremely weak, so she did not notice that Xiao Yezi had arrived beside him.
"Mother, what's wrong? Why are you crying? "
Xiao Yezi came to Gong Qianye's side, and when she saw that Gong Qianye's face was covered in tears, she immediately frowned and asked.
After Gong Qianye heard Xiao Yezi's voice, she realised that Xiao Yezi had actually ran out of the room and appeared in front of him.
"The wind is strong tonight, so mother is too blinded. Don't worry, go back to sleep."
Gong Qianye rubbed Xiao Yezi's small head, smiled with tears and said gently.
"Xiao Yezi wants mother to hug Xiao Yezi to sleep."
Xiao Yezi rubbed the back of Gong Qianye's hand with her chubby little face, and spoke with a voice full of childishness.
"Alright, mother will carry Xiao Yezi to sleep."
Gong Qianye stood up, picked up Xiao Yezi and headed back to the room.
Seeing Gong Qianye and Xiao Yezi returning to their room, at the entrance of the cave, Gu Zixuan also wiped her tears, turned, and left.
