Chapter 11 The Truth
As far as Li Xun Huan was concerned, Xie Wan's punch on his back made him startled, but he didn't know that Xie Wan was also shocked when he saw the people underneath.
There is no other reason, the person who met her eyes just now was not someone else, but Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City who could not have appeared here.
Dressed in white clothes, with a black sword, his majestic demeanor made Xie Wan dazzle for a moment.
It turns out that not only beauties can compete with the moon in the world.
Xie Wan looked at Ye Gucheng and sighed inwardly, knowing that this rare good opportunity tonight had been missed.But good opportunities don't come all the time.
Obviously success was within reach, but in the end it was missed. Even the usually calm system couldn't help scolding people. The rich language library made it possible to scold the Lord of Baiyun at this time without any repetition.
【Xie Wan: Forget about Tonger, what I have to worry about now is whether Ye Gucheng saw me stabbing Li Xunhuan just now. 】
The system returned to calm.
[System: I don't know either.However, judging from the analysis of Ye Gucheng's personality, he doesn't often care about things that have nothing to do with him. 】
【Xie Wan: Is that so, I always feel a little suspense... well, let's go down first. 】
[System: At worst, stab him. 】
Xie Wan paused for a moment, and then realized that her family leader prioritized maintaining the stability of all worlds, so she probably said this out of anger.
Although Xie Wan was a little disappointed by the unfavorable start, it was more or less within her expectation.After all, Li Xunhuan is a person of luck in the world, even if she asks Tong'er to help, the will of the world will hinder them from completing the task.
But that's good, anyway, knowing the opponent who was hiding in the dark, now it's up to each other.
Li Xun Huan first called Xie Wan, but Xie Wan stared down and did not answer him.After Li Xun Huan wiped the wine stains on the corner of his lips with his index finger, his eyes moved to the direction Xie Wan was looking at.
Li Xun Huan's expression changed in an instant, he suppressed the original sadness, pursed the corners of his lips, and looked cautious.
With just one glance, Li Xun Huan had an intuition that the man standing in the middle of the street was a rare person in this world who truly had the pinnacle of martial arts.
The next moment, Xie Wan beside him jumped off the roof.
A few steps away from Ye Gucheng, Xie Wan felt that she could more clearly feel the sharpness and coldness of his body that was integrated with the sword.
I don't know if it's because the other party might have witnessed his sneak attack on Li Xun Huan, but Xie Wan felt a little inexplicably fearful and cautious about this white-clothed swordsman.
In front of people, Xie Wan showed some surprise on his face.
"Master Ye? Why are you here?"
The man looked at her with star-like eyes, and there seemed to be no other emotions in those eyes except for the deserted look.For a while, Xie Wan was not sure about his attitude.
Li Xun Huan followed him down from the roof, seeing Xie Wan taking the initiative to talk to this strange man, he couldn't help asking curiously: "Miss Xie, who is this?"
Xie Wan looked at Ye Gucheng, who looked at Li Xunhuan after he came down.When masters meet each other, they will feel each other, Ye Gucheng's eyes suddenly changed, but Xie Wan never saw him have any other reactions, and he didn't mention what happened just now to Li Xunhuan.
Xie Wan breathed a sigh of relief.She glanced at Ye Gucheng questioningly, seeing that he didn't look disgusted, she introduced to Li Xunhuan: "This is Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City in the South China Sea."
Surprise flashed across Li Xunhuan's face, Nanhai Tianwai Feixian was famous, how could he not know, but he never expected to meet in such a way.
Immediately, with admiration on his face, Li Xun Huan cupped his hands to Ye Gucheng and said, "It turns out that it is the Lord of Baiyun City. Many years ago, I heard that the Lord of Ye City's swordsmanship is superb, and there are few enemies in this world. Li Xun Huan was able to see Ye Gucheng today, which is considered a great blessing in this life. "
Ye Gucheng raised his eyebrows, and there was also a little surprise in his eyes, and finally there were some other expressions on his frosty face.
"Li Xunhuan, the one who has done nothing wrong with Xiao Li's flying knife?"
Li Xun Huan smiled: "Exactly."
"You are very good."
There are not many people who can win Ye Gucheng's admiration.It's not that Ye Gucheng is stingy, but that he has already stood at the pinnacle of swordsmanship, and only a comparable opponent in this world can really catch his eyes.And Li Xunhuan really deserves this praise.But the excitement in Ye Gucheng's eyes quickly subsided.It's a pity, no matter how fast Xiao Li is flying a knife, Li Xun Huan can't use a sword.
Anyone who has seen Ye Gucheng knows that he has a temperament like frost and snow. Although he is the lord of Baiyun City in the South China Sea, he seems to live on a snowy peak that is covered with snow all year round.As such, he never seemed to have any friends either.Li Xun Huan was a little curious, why Miss Xie met such a person.Li Xun Huan thought so, so he asked Xie Wan the same way.
When Xie Wan was asked, she turned her head and glanced at Ye Gucheng, who was also looking at her.Although the man didn't say a word, his gaze was enough weight. Xie Wan didn't know why he was looking at her, so she simply didn't care about it right now.Regarding Li Xun Huan's question to her, Xie Wan quickly thought up an explanation in her mind, neither made a mistake nor let Li Xun Huan continue to delve into it.
"When I left Yanbei, I went to many places, among which was Feixian Island. I was in a shipwreck at sea, and thanks to Lord Ye, I saved my life. Later, when I remembered everything, I came back from the South China Sea."
In the words, Xie Wan deliberately blurred the time, so that Li Xunhuan thought that this was what happened to her in three years, and also made Ye Gucheng on the other side think that it only happened within a month or two.
Sometimes it's wrong to say too much, anyway, what she said is the truth, and as for the blank places, they will always fill in their own understandings.
Sure enough, when Xie Wan mentioned the past, Li Xun Huan stopped asking.Although what happened three years ago has not been fully clarified, Li Xun Huan knows what Xie Wan must have done silently for him back then.Even, she would get hurt and leave without saying goodbye, I'm afraid it's all because of him.
She was kind to him in every possible way, so naturally Li Xun Huan would not mention things that she didn't want to, and uncover her old wounds.
The system could clearly see Li Xunhuan's expression looking at Xie Wan. Although there was no affection there, there was guilt and protection, so he couldn't help asking Xie Wan.
[System: Ah Wan, didn't you say that you never engage in sexual relations with mission targets?Saying that there will be retribution for playing with other people's feelings, and you don't need to rely on this to complete the task. 】
【Xie Wan: Don't worry, I don't like the type of Li Xunhuan.But I take back the last half of the sentence. Since I know there is a shortcut, why don't I go?Besides, I didn't play with his feelings, I just made him feel that I like him. 】
【system:? ? ? 】
The system is a bit confusing.
As Xie Wan thought, Li Xun Huan couldn't bear to embarrass her.But Xie Wan never imagined that she had put all kinds of calculations on Li Xunhuan, but she missed Ye Gucheng.
Ye Gucheng listened to Xie Wan's narration slowly, and heard Li Xunhuan called her "Miss Xie" earlier, and remembered that when the guards reported to him, Miss Awan remembered all the memories and returned to the Central Plains.
It turned out that her surname was Xie.
But for no reason, Ye Gucheng remembered that day inexplicably. He looked back inadvertently, and caught a glimpse of her loneliness when she couldn't remember her name.After passing by, Ye Gucheng only heard people calling her "Awan".
She used his name.
Ye Gucheng pursed his lips.
Xie Wan suddenly heard the other party ask her: "Your surname is Xie, what is your name?"
This time, even Li Xun Huan's expression changed slightly.Although he didn't understand why City Lord Ye would ask Miss Xie this question, he couldn't deny that he had been curious about this question for a long time.
On the one hand, he hoped to hear the answer from Xie Wan, but at the same time he knew that it was impossible.He and Miss Xie have known each other so far, but he doesn't know, how could Ye Gucheng know the answer.
Hearing this, Xie Wan suddenly felt dizzy.
The reason why she has never revealed her real name when she walks in various worlds is that outsiders like her are always rejected by the world itself, and not revealing her real name will reduce the possibility of the world discovering her.
The name has this extraordinary meaning to the person itself.
Does Miss Xie really not want to be known by her name?It was never her intention.But in the end, only the system will call her "Awan".
Therefore, when Ye Gucheng said "Wan, beautiful jade", it was a rare time for Xie Wan to be self-willed, and wanted to hear the feeling of someone calling her A Wan again.
Now Ye Gucheng asked her this question, but Xie Wan couldn't answer it.
After thinking about it, she suddenly had an idea.
Seeing the person being questioned, Ye Gu smiled suddenly, his eyes filled with a gentle smile.
"Later, I thought the words 'Xie' and 'Wan' sounded nice together. What did City Lord Ye think?"
Ye Gucheng was stopped by her question, opened his mouth, and finally looked fixedly at Xie Wan.
"Xie Wan?"
Xie Wan agreed. "Yes, it is Wan of Wanyu."
Ye Gucheng stopped talking.
Although she said the name, as long as others think that this is the name Ye Gucheng chose for her, there is nothing Tiandao can do to her.
Wanben Meiyu is a good name.
Li Xunhuan finally got to know Miss Xie's name, but when he saw the expressions of Xie Wan and Ye Gucheng, he felt that there seemed to be something he didn't know.
Xie Wan made a sound, interrupting Li Xun Huan's thoughts.
"Why did City Lord Ye come to Yanbei?"
Ye Gucheng's gaze still fell on Xie Wan, but this time, there was something more unpredictable in this gaze.After a while, he replied, "Just passing by here."
"City Master Ye alone?"
Ye Gucheng only shook his head.
Then, Ye Gucheng looked at the huge Zhenhai Tower plaque behind Xie Wan and Li Xunhuan: "I intended to stay here tonight."
That's why I saw Xie Wan sitting on the roof.
Xie Wan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Please, City Lord Ye."
