Chapter 66
After Lu Jue's infatuation happened, the Xianmen Conference could not continue, it had to end hastily, and people from other sects also left one after another.
Lu Jue was taken down and imprisoned in the dungeon behind the Yunshan faction.
Qiao Nian went back to Fuyu Mountain alone, suddenly she was the only one left on the huge mountain, and Ao Yan had already returned to the Demon Race to report to the Demon Lord.
She vaguely realized that Lu Jue would never come back again.
Unexpectedly, after she arrived at Fuyu Mountain, Huo Yunting followed her.
"Junior Sister—" He came with his sword, and called out to her, his clothes fluttering in a rare eagerness.
When Qiao Nian stopped, she saw Huo Yunting stopped in front of her.
Before she could speak, Huo Yunting said, "Junior Sister, why didn't you tell me anything?"
Qiao Nian was silent for a moment, and said, "I don't know what to say."
Huo Yunting closed his eyes, suppressed his anger, and said : "Then... have you been with him in retreat for the past two months?"
Qiao Nian didn't speak, but seemed to agree.
Huo Yunting looked at her for a while, and asked abruptly, "Junior Sister didn't know what to say to hide it from me, or...are you interested in Lu Jue?"
Hearing this, Qiao Nian's heart skipped a beat, thinking he was suspicious After all, he could see how obedient Lu Jue was to her.
She looked at him: "Senior brother, what do you mean? You don't believe me?"
Huo Yunting looked at her with complicated eyes, and his voice was also a little cold: "Junior Sister said the opposite, is it because I don't believe you or you...don't believe me? If Lu Jue really bullied you, you should tell me, and you won't..."
After speaking, his words suddenly stopped, and he didn't want to say any more.
He paused, then calmed down, and said: "Junior Sister, I know it's not your fault, but you must also remember that I am your fiance, this will not change, no matter what you encounter, you can find me Help you."
Hearing this, Qiao Nian looked at him with some surprise in his heart, and he could see that what he said was sincere, and he didn't mind that she had a relationship with Lu Jue.
Although the world of cultivating immortals doesn't care about chastity as much as the mortal world, but in his eyes, she has a marriage contract with him, but he doesn't mind it.
Sure enough, he is the childhood sweetheart who is affectionate to the heroine in the book. Except for his strong desire to control, he is indeed very good to the heroine.
Qiao Nian thought about it, and heard him say again: "Junior Sister, Lu Jue will be escorted to the trial stand in three days, I was negligent for not noticing your situation, don't worry, I will give you an explanation. "
Three days later?
But isn't it in the book... the execution at night?
The results of the Tian Clan's investigation of the truth will come out tomorrow, and after three days, who knows if the Tian Clan will send someone to intervene in Lu Jue's matter.
Qiao Nian couldn't help but asked, "Why not tonight?"
"There are still doubts about this matter, and we need to investigate clearly." When Huo Yunting explained, his voice paused, and he looked at her, "Junior Sister...you hope it's today." Is it too late?"
Qiao Nian's face was cold, as if he really hated Lu Jue: "Yes, I don't know what else needs to be investigated, everyone has witnessed him becoming a demon, and he won't be able to wait another three days. What's changed."
"If this is what you want, it's not impossible to put him on trial tonight." Huo Yunting looked at her with deep eyes, "It's just... are you sure you want to do this? Because of his crimes, there is no way he can survive."
Qiao Nian didn't answer him directly, but said, "I don't want to see him again."
Huo Yunting understood what she meant, and never again had Lu Jue bully her. Confused, if it wasn't like this, she shouldn't hate him so much and even let him die.
He breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, and said, "Okay, junior sister, are you coming tonight?" Qiao Nian said, "I'm
tired and want to rest early."
He left at the door of the dormitory.
Qiao Nian said she would not go, but she still felt a little restless in the bedroom, thinking of Lu Jue's abnormal smile.
She had a hunch that this male lead might not develop as she expected.
Tonight... is the day he was executed in the original book.
Originally, as soon as tonight is over, she can go back to the Demon Race to be her guardian, and leave when the hero and heroine are together.
But the way the male protagonist looked at her and the words he said made her feel that he might not let her go easily because of the relationship between master and apprentice like the original book.
It's just that the plot has come to this point, and there is no room for turning around. Maybe...she felt wrong, and the hero can still follow the original plot.
After all, after tonight, his mortal calamity will end, and he will return to the Nine Heavens. Even if he loses the qualification to be the crown prince, he is still the prince of the heavenly clan after all.
The heroine will also escape from the hands of the demons to meet him, heal his emotional wounds, and accompany him to regain what he lost. How could he have the heart to give it to a demon girl who hurt him?
While the trial on the other side was going on, Qiao Nian was sitting in the dormitory waiting, his thoughts confused.
Although she didn't go to the scene, she probably knew what was going to happen there.
Lu will never confess her, he will admit to the crime of practicing magic arts, and what is more serious than this is that he is ungrateful and bullying his master for his own selfish desires.
With her testimony and Lu Jue's own confession, even if Lu Jue didn't reveal the origin of the magic power, it wouldn't affect the sentence.
In the original book, he suffered all kinds of punishment, and finally he was given a cup of poisoned wine and died on the judgment seat.
Perhaps because of his status as a Celestial Clan, that night, the lightning flashed and thundered like the wrath of the sky, and a long-lost heavy rain fell, which washed his blood all over the ground and stained the judgment platform.
His calamity is really unforgettable and pitiful.
Therefore, when he first met the heroine Cheng Wu, he was actually full of doubts and dislikes. After getting along with her, he got to know her and gradually fell in love with her.
The two took a script that was a bit sadistic.
Qiao Nian was very confident that he would be with the heroine, but now he is not sure.
She thought that the punishment Lu Jue was receiving now was a bit difficult. Although she was here to do a mission, she still felt a little distressed about what happened to Lu Jue.
His simple and well-behaved image is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. When she thinks of his miserable appearance when he was tortured, she can't sit still.
In the end, I got up and planned to take a look secretly. Anyway, I have been his master for several years. Although I haven't taught him anything, it's okay to give him a ride.
After all, for the prince of the Celestial Clan, this is just a mortal calamity, and he and Lu Jue cannot be said to be the same person in essence.
Appearance, personality and memory will be different.
If the mortal boy Lu Jue died, he would really disappear.
Even if the prince can remember everything in the mortal world, he is not the boy who can obediently call her master.
Qiao Nian took the invisibility formula and went to the judgment platform on the main peak.
When she passed by the disciples who came out of the trial platform one after another, she realized that the execution had just ended.
The night sky was so black that it could swallow everything, heavy rain poured down, and lightning flashed across the night sky blindingly.
In the bleak cold wind and rain, girls in plain clothes walked past her.
"It's so scary. How could there be so much blood? The entire trial platform seemed to be dyed red."
"Three hundred devil-subduing whips, the whips are still full of barbs with iron hooks, and the young master executed the punishment himself. I'm afraid there is no good flesh on his body, and all the blood will flow out." "Stop talking, it's too perverted, this kind of
person Death is not a pity, I am afraid to see him having nightmares."
Their voices gradually faded away.
Qiao Nian's footsteps paused before continuing to walk forward.
When she got to the door of the judgment seat, she showed her figure, and the guard disciple let her in without stopping her.
When she arrived under the trial platform, everyone was gone, only the heavy rain continued, and she could smell the smell of blood in the air.
Qiao Nian stepped onto the trial platform and saw the young man lying in the blood.
His white clothes, which were as clean as snow before he went out, were now stained red by blood, and he was lying there motionless, as if he had lost his breath.
Qiao Nian suddenly felt a little afraid to go forward, knowing that this was just a catastrophe for him in the world, but at this moment, he still felt a little troubled in his heart, and some... doubted whether he had done something wrong.
After a long while, Qiao Nian walked over. She performed the Shushui Jue, even though she was walking in the rain, her clothes and hair did not get wet at all.
She walked to Lu Jue's side and shielded him from the wind and rain.
She saw his tattered clothes, and even his handsome face was covered with scars, and she couldn't see his true face clearly.
She squatted down, stretched out her hand, and was about to cast a spell to change into clean clothes for him, at least it would not be so ugly to leave.
But just as she stretched out her hand, the person who seemed to have no breath suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed her wrist.
Qiao Nian was taken aback, and looked at the young man's eyes that were frighteningly bright in the dark night.
"Master..." As soon as he spoke, blood dripped from the corners of his lips, but he didn't care, he just looked at her and panted, "What you asked me to practice is not to help you recover your cultivation , you... are lying to me, aren't you?"
After speaking a long series of words in one breath, he coughed violently, and the blood splashed on her skirt, but he still stared at her a bit stubbornly.
Qiao Nian looked at him: "Yes, I'm lying to you."
There was no need for her to hide any more. Immortal Qingxuan must have gone back to Jiuchongtian to report what happened here, and the Celestial Clan will definitely investigate the truth of this matter. .
When he returned to Jiuchongtian, he would naturally know that a trap had already started for him from the day she picked him up, and he hadn't been able to escape.
"Why?" he asked.
Qiao Nian didn't answer, just said: "You will understand in the future." But Lu Jue suddenly said
: "Is it because... I was from the Celestial Clan in my previous life?"
Guessing this, after all, he was born with immortal bones, and Xianjun Qingxuan's attitude towards him is also unusual.
"What about you, Master?" Lu Jue held on to her skirt, as if afraid that she would disappear suddenly, and said with difficulty, "Who... are you?" Qiao Nian looked at him,
slowly Standing up, he took a step back: "Have you ever seen anyone who hurt someone and reported himself?"
When she was backing up, he wanted to grab her, but in the end he hung down powerlessly, like a little girl dying. Lying on the ground like a dog, he just stared at her stubbornly.
He didn't ask any more questions, and he couldn't see any hatred. His expression was very fragile, his face was pale, and his voice was choked up: "Master... I'm so cold, please hug me, okay?
" It seems that he is still the innocent boy before.
Qiao Nian's heart shuddered, and she couldn't bear to see him like this. If he questioned her, scolded her, or even hated her, she would feel better.
But he didn't seem to blame her.
Looking at his pair of wet and fragile eyes, Qiao Nian couldn't help but soften her heart. After all, the plot she was supposed to go to had already finished, so it's not impossible to finally fulfill a wish he had before he died, right?
Qiao Nian looked at him, walked forward hesitantly, squatted down in front of him, and slowly held his hand.
But just when she leaned over to give him a hug, her lips softened suddenly, and then there was a tingling pain, and the smell of blood permeated between their lips and teeth.
He tightly hugged her wrist, looked at her eyes with a bit of madness, laughed, blood gushed out of his mouth again, looked like a lunatic, and said in a cruel voice: "Master, After you plotted against me, deceived me, and killed me, you want to abandon me, don't you? As I said, I won't... give up!" Qiao Nian backed away in shock,
but Lu Jue was already at the end of his strength and just held on He didn't let go of his breath. When she pushed him away, he just fell down. This time... he couldn't open his eyes again.
There was still a smile on his face, as if telling her that even if he died, he would turn into a ghost and haunt her.
Qiao Nian was stunned for a moment, and after realizing it, the previous sadness disappeared in an instant.
Sure enough, this hero...is something wrong?
She called the system out with a cold face. This is the third male protagonist she has met, and every one of them can go crazy. If it's not her that has a problem, then there must be something wrong with these male protagonists.
It's impossible for the system not to notice, it might be hiding something from her.
On the other side, above the Nine Heavens, on the big bed behind layers of curtains, the handsome young man suddenly opened his eyes slowly.
The fairy servant with elegant eyebrows who was waiting next to him said in surprise: "His Royal Highness, are you back?"
