Chapter 144: Heaven and Earth are Unkind (7)
The four of them fell silent for a moment. There were some things that they knew very well, but the four of them had never talked openly and honestly.
Now Gu Yuejiarong has taken the lead in breaking the precarious balance. Does he want to break up with Xu Shanshan, or does he plan to break up with them first?
"Mr. Gu Yue, what exactly do you want to say?"
Chi Jiangdong has a straightforward temperament and cannot learn to test around the bush. He stares straight at him with a pair of bright eyes. Gu Yue Jiarong, a kind of unyielding strength presses on people's hearts.
Gu Yuejiarong glanced around and saw that the mystic masters who were "hiding" from their discussion were still discussing and did not pay attention to the four of them.
"Do you still remember when we went to Quexie Mountain to break off the engagement?" He asked softly.
A flash of surprise flashed in Chi Jiangdong's eyes, and he nodded: "Yes."
Jiashan's fine eyelashes raised, the pupils of the waves swirled, and they were hidden in the depths. He was willing to listen quietly. Its detailed.
Wei Canghao turned his face sideways, his gaze fell on the air, his expression calm: "Of course I remember."
"I remember that from that day on, Xu Shanshan was different from before. It was just that we didn't pay attention to her at the time and ignored the changes. But now that I think about it, the only thing she said to us at that time was , but it is also very meaningful."
Gu Yuejiarong's words revived their silent memories. After recalling it, Xu Shanshan seemed to say that it was not that simple to break off the engagement with her, not that they said they would. You can retreat...
Jiashan subconsciously touched the rosary on his wrist. When his hand was empty, he remembered that his string of nine-purple phoenix eyes that had been with him for more than ten years had been given away, but after raising so many Long-standing habits are always difficult to change...especially when he is not in a calm state of mind.
“The poor monk has learned about this from the elders in his family. People like them who study mysticism are different from the mortal marriage customs. They cannot easily go back on their word by simply canceling the marriage contract or giving up the engagement verbally. , it requires the party who regrets the marriage to pay a very serious price."
This is the first time that Jiashan has brought this matter out. Maybe their elders are aware of this matter, but a few of them...obviously. He didn't know the seriousness of the matter, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to Quexie Mountain to break off the engagement so easily.
Gu Yuejiarong was not surprised: "Our marriage with Xu Shanshan still exists, and she is still our fiancee, whether you want to admit it or not."
The other three heard this, but neither recognized nor refute.
"But we have all made regrets about our marriage... It seems that apart from being unlucky recently, there are no other more serious consequences?" Chi Jiangdong was confused.
Seeing his clueless look, Jiashan sighed helplessly: "That's because Xu Shanshan didn't approve of breaking off the engagement, nor did she take any revenge on us for breaking off the engagement, so the backlash of regretting the engagement was It has been relieved, on the contrary... We have indeed had a lot of troubles recently, and she stepped in to resolve the disasters one by one..."
Speaking of this, Jiashan actually felt that when they broke off their engagement, The "not getting enough oil and salt" may be somewhat... ignorant.
Chi Jiangdong was stunned, and he drew inferences: "Then the Li Mansion encountered such a big trouble, could it be because Li Heye broke off the engagement..."
Seeing that Master Qingyi and others were about to finish, Jiashan To make a long story short: "Maybe it is, maybe it is not. It is always difficult to distinguish the cause from the effect in this world. People can only deduce the cause from the effect. Let's discuss this matter for the time being."
He looked again. Gu Yue Jiarong: "I understand what you mean. Regardless of whether she is Xu Shanshan or not, she has taken on this destiny and identity, and has taken on everything that comes with this identity. If she is fake, then she is no longer Xu Shanshan. Since the marriage has not been canceled, we all have to admit it." Gu Yuejiarong looked at him for a moment, and after exchanging the meanings in each other's eyes, he said, "I think we should no longer judge her based on past thinking. Thoughts, according to my guess, she must have thoughts about these people, either to kill... or to surrender, she wants to get something from them..."
This is indeed worth it. Only by understanding what Xu Shanshan is thinking and planning to do can they know what to do next.
Wei Canghao had been listening to their conversation quietly. Only then did he suddenly speak: "These people are just trash fish. We haven't figured out the real big fish hiding in the depths, but she really can She got into trouble and almost offended all the powerful forces in Jingguo in half a year."
Chi Jiangdong jumped out immediately and couldn't help but complain: "That's right, she is trying to break me up. It’s no surprise, are we really here to help her? Why do I think she doesn’t need it at all?”
Gu Yuejiarong ignored his meaningless words and instead raised a question: "In the past, I thought she was forced to kill King Chen and King Jin because of the situation, but is there a possibility that her target was actually them from the beginning?"
"Why did she?" Chi Jiangdong disagreed. : "Is it because she can't stand the rebellion of the seven kings? But she doesn't seem to like people like Yue Di."
Guyue Jiarong: "..." Rough reasoning or not, what Chi Jiangdong said was indeed reasonable and he was speechless to refute it.
But Wei Canghao also had the same view: "Indeed, it seems that everything about her revolves around many people, but as Master Jiashan said, if the results can be used to deduce the causes, she has been targeting King Jin from the beginning. Her will is very determined, and she is willing to take risks to be hostile to anyone."
Jiashan digested the content silently, and said: "We don't need to over-guess at the moment, no matter who she is or what she wants to do. Now she has a huge entanglement with us..."
"Hey, what are you four whispering over there?"
The old man in Huangpao suddenly asked sharply. , interrupted what Jiashan was about to say.
As soon as he came out, he saw the four people gathering around and talking furtively. They might be plotting something. He even suspected that the four people might be from the Li Mansion. Or someone Xu Shanshan knew.
"Hey, have you finished the discussion?" Chi Jiangdong raised his hands and said with a smile: "You people were hiding in there muttering about something and we didn't ask, but the four of us were inexplicably excluded. Man, do I have to accept your cross-examination with humiliation?"
The old man in Huangpao was choked by Chi Jiangdong's strange aura.
Seeing this, the eloquent Qing Yifa put on an incomprehensible smile. He stepped forward and said: "The discussion is indeed over, although the four of you were not allowed to participate in the process due to some reasons. , but you must not be excluded from the next plan..."
Hearing this, the four of Chi Jiangdong suddenly had a bad premonition.
"After all of us unanimously decided, the four of you will lure Xu Shanshan out together."
"Ha?! The four of us are going? Why?"
The old Taoist Huangpao joked and ridiculed: "I heard that Xu Shanshan has always been deviant. Not only was he engaged to five men, but he was also crazy about a handsome man. Pretty little girl, she must be a lecher. The four of you are not very capable, but you all have a good look, which can be used as bait to catch her!”
