Indulge in eyebrows

Chapter 5

Sure enough, there are many traps in the dungeon of the Demon Cult.

But relying on Lin Yue's mechanism map, this group of martial arts experts successfully broke into the dungeon, and rescued several highly respected heroes with little effort.

Of course, Lin Yue's father was also included.

Lin Yue had been uneasy when he heard that the leader of the Demon Cult used some heroes he had captured to practice martial arts, but now he was relieved to see his father in good spirits.The relationship between their father and son is not good, but after all, they have been separated for many years, and now they reunite after the catastrophe, it is rare for a father to be kind and filial to his son.

Lin Yue was so focused on talking to his father that he didn't pay attention to the situation around him. It wasn't until a group of people rushed out of the prison that they realized that there was a mess outside and flames were everywhere.

He was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

Lin Chen turned his head to look at Li Fenglai, and Li Fenglai glanced at the young owner of Qiushuizhuang, and finally the handsome young man laughed loudly: "It's just a few fires, the evildoers of the devil's sect dare to bully I am the head of Qiushuizhuang, so naturally I should teach them a lesson."

"I'm afraid this will attract the enemy."

"This is called "striking from east to west". Anyway, people have been rescued, so just retreat quickly."

Li Fenglai had a disagreement with the young man, and they argued for a while, but Lin Yue didn't listen, and just kept looking towards the woods to the west.

That place...seemed to be on fire too.

Xu Qing shouldn't be in danger, right?

His heart was pounding, and he just wanted to hurry to Xu Qing's side, but his left hand was tightly held by his father, and he couldn't shake it off.And his elder brother also looked over with concern, and said softly: "Xiao Yue, the monsters from the Demon Cult have been attracted, and a fierce fight is inevitable in a while. Your martial arts are a little weaker, remember to follow me, don't mess around run."

"But, I still have some things..."

"What's up?"

"This... I..."

Lin Yue didn't know how to explain it for a moment, hesitating, and followed everyone for a long way, getting farther and farther away from the woods.

The sound of swords clashing could be heard endlessly.

Demon cultists rushed over from all directions, trying to block their way.

Lin Yue hesitated for a while in the light of the fire, and finally gave up his heart, stepped on his father's foot hard, and while letting go, turned around and ran away.

Love Xu Love Xu Love Xu Love...

He single-mindedly chanted the name, desperately moving forward.

Someone also jumped out to block his way, he drew his sword recklessly, and slashed with a wave of his hand.But as soon as he activated his true qi, he felt a dull pain in his chest, his hands and feet were limp and he had no strength.

strangeness.

You were fine just now, why did you suddenly lose your strength?Could it be...

Although Lin Yue's reaction was a little blunt, he suddenly came to his senses and realized that he was poisoned.He couldn't use his internal strength at all, and his swordsmanship was less than [-]%, so he could only fight and retreat, and he was forced back to his father and brother.

And those righteous people also started to get angry, some were shocked and some scolded their mothers, and they suddenly became chaotic.More and more Demon Cult monsters gathered together, and soon surrounded everyone.

Lin Chen was very calm, always smiling leisurely, and said in a deep voice, "It's a trap."

"The other party already knew about our actions today, so they poisoned the dungeon in advance." Li Fenglai was still smiling, shaking his fan, and slowly took Lin Chen's hand.

The two looked at each other and smiled, in perfect understanding.

Lin Yue stared dumbfounded, and immediately remembered his Xu Qing.

If this plan has already been known by the people of the Demon Cult, will Xu Qing be involved?That person doesn't know martial arts, and his health is poor, isn't he more dangerous than himself?

His body was limp and weak, but he kept clenching the sword in his hand, secretly making up his mind that even if he risked his life, he would definitely rush out.

Even if you don't have the ability to rescue Xu Qing, it's good to see him for the last time.

Just as he was distracted, he suddenly heard a commotion in the distance.

The Demon Cultists who had surrounded them suddenly turned their heads and looked over there. They all knelt down on the ground and said loudly, "Congratulations to the leader for your great achievement."

Lin Yue's heart shuddered, and his whole body felt cold.

The leader of the Demon Cult has left?

It is said that the big devil is so strong in martial arts, I am afraid that even his father is no match, and now that everyone is poisoned, is there still a possibility of escape?

And what about Xu Qing?How will Xu Qing, who betrayed the leader, be dealt with?

Lin Yue trembled all over, and finally felt scared.He stared wide-eyed and looked in that direction from a distance, seeing a figure getting closer and closer.

In the flickering flames, the man's face was indistinct, but he was thin, black-clothed and black-haired, with a terrifying aura.

Lin Yue's hands were shaking non-stop, his black eyes were wide open, and he almost forgot to breathe.

This figure is too familiar.

He once touched that soft black hair, once hugged that thin body, once kissed that warm thin lips... Even after thousands of mountains and rivers and generations, he will definitely recognize him.

But at this moment, Lin Yue would rather not recognize it.

Never in his life had he been so frightened.

Afraid to see that familiar face.

Afraid to hear that familiar voice.

Afraid... All the lingering love is an illusion, in the end, it is just a deception.

Lin Yue's face was pale, and he bit his lower lip tightly, wishing he could die on the spot.But he couldn't do anything, he could only stand there motionless.

In a daze, that person finally came to the front.

The firelight illuminated his handsome side face, with fine features and delicate features, still so beautiful that it was heart-pounding.It's just that his eyes are much sharper than before, with a vaguely sinister look.

... After all, he is the leader of the Demon Cult.

Lin Yue thought vaguely, and looked at the man for a moment.

It was very noisy all around.

But the world is so big, it seems that only the two of them are left.

After a long time, the corners of Lin Yue's mouth curled up, and he slowly pulled out a smile, calling softly, "Xu Qing."

The voice is soft and soft, clearly the tune of acting like a baby to a lover.

Xu Qing tilted her head and smiled at him.

That smile is also very familiar - the eyes are slightly narrowed, the corners of the mouth are raised, with a hint of sarcasm.

And the object of the ridicule should be him, Lin Yue, right?

He was so stupid that he believed his pretense so easily.

Not only did he give all his sincerity, but he also attracted all the righteous people over and let him catch them all.

what!

Lin Yue almost wanted to laugh out loud, but just as he opened his mouth, he felt the blood in his body churning, and a strange tingling pain rose from the bottom of his heart.He took a few deep breaths, managed to suppress the smell of blood in his throat, and spoke with difficulty: "Is the mechanism diagram real?"

"Um."

"But you were also poisoned in prison?"

"That's right."

"You... are the leader of the Demon Cult?"

Xu Qing closed her eyes and nodded.

"So that's it." Lin Yue smiled again, suddenly his expression changed, he grabbed the sword in his hand, gritted his teeth and rushed over.

This sword stabbed straight at Xu Qing's chest.

However, Lin Yue was weak all over, and was easily subdued before touching Xu Qing's clothes.

"Why did you lie to me?" He couldn't use a sword, so he simply punched and kicked, biting fiercely. "You already know my identity, right? You purposely gave me the mechanism map to lure everyone into this trap, didn't you? You..."

Have you ever liked me?

Lin Yue couldn't even ask the last sentence.

Perhaps the answer was too clear, but he didn't have the guts to confirm it, so he just stared at Xu Qing with his eyes wide open.

Xu Qing remained expressionless all the time, raised Lin Yue's chin, and asked coldly, "Which one is the one who lied first?"

Lin Yue was shocked, his whole body froze, and he was speechless for a while.

It was he who first pretended to be a sweeper and infiltrated the Demon Cult, and then he kept getting close to Xu Qing in this capacity, until a few days ago, he finally revealed the truth.

but……

"At least I'm sincere to you!" When he shouted this sentence, his black eyes were shining, and his eyes were full of eager affection.

"Oh? What is your so-called sincerity? Rescue my male favorite from the demon sect?" Xu Qing sneered, put her lips next to Lin Yue's ear, and asked in a low voice: "Then, you shouldn't be standing here at all right now. here?"

After the words fell, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the woods to the west.

Lin Yue also looked over, only to see that the place was billowing with smoke and dust, and had already been engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.

strangeness.

The fires elsewhere have been extinguished, why is it only burning there?

He blinked blankly, and before he could figure out what was going on, he heard Xu Qing's deep and hoarse voice: "I've been waiting for you until the last moment."

As he spoke, a slightly annoyed expression appeared on his face, and he raised his hand to cover his cheek.When he let go again, he had returned to his usual indifferent expression, his eyes were as deep as water, and the chill was overwhelming.

Lin Yue stared blankly, and understood the meaning of that sentence after a long time.

He has been waiting for him!

He really likes him too!

His fingers trembled, and he opened his mouth to explain: "I didn't intend to break the appointment, but I was dragged by my father, and I couldn't get away. Later, I got poisoned, and I couldn't break through..."

Lin Yue stammered, almost incoherent.

Xu Qing just sneered.

"Enough, that's enough." He closed his eyes and easily snatched the long sword from Lin Yue's hand, his expression was unprecedentedly cold. "You should know what will happen to those who betray me, right?"

Lin Yue suddenly lost his voice.Of course he had heard many rumors about the leader of the Demon Cult, both bloody and terrifying, each of which was enough to frighten people into immobility.But at this moment, he couldn't think of anything, he only knew that the man standing in front of him... was his beloved lover.

That's right, the person he fell in love with desperately is pointing a sword at himself right now.

The sharp blade gradually approached, and soon reached his neck.

Lin Yue lowered his eyes dejectedly, and suddenly wanted to laugh.

No amount of explanation would be in vain, Xu Qing didn't believe him at all.

How can I convince that person?

Take out your heart and give it to him, is he willing to take it?

In a daze, the blade of the sword was already attached to the skin, and the neck was icy cold. Xu Qing only needed a little force to kill him.

But the hand holding the sword slowly trembled.

Lin Yue was taken aback, and when he looked up, he found that Xu Qing was also looking at him intently.Those watery black eyes were undulating, full of affection and hatred, both like deep love and hatred.

His heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out: "Xu Qing..."

Xu Qing's expression froze, as if she suddenly woke up from a dream, her face was as pale as a ghost, she gritted her teeth and swung her sword.

That sword slashed across Lin Yue's chest, leaving a slanted cut in his shirt, but it didn't hurt him at all.Instead, Xu Qing's feet were weak, she staggered back a few steps, and almost fell to the ground.

"Master!" Exclaimed voices came and went.

Lin Yue was also so frightened that he almost forgot where he was, and reached out to help him.

As a result, Xu Qing stared and raised her hand to give her a palm.

Lin Yue's kung fu was not very high, and he didn't have internal energy to protect his body at this moment, so he couldn't bear the force of the palm, so he fell heavily and rolled on the ground several times before he stopped.

He didn't remember whether he cried out in pain, but he saw Xu Qing quickly turned his back without even looking at him.

"Xiao Yue, how are you? Are you hurt?" It was his elder brother Lin Chen's voice, low and soft, always so gentle.

But it's so far away that it's not real at all.

Lin Yue opened his mouth, only to feel a severe pain in his chest, and he didn't even have the strength to respond to the words.Even so, his eyes were still wide open, staring at Xu Qing without blinking.

...just a back view.

Why did it still make him so fascinated that he couldn't even look away?

"Master, how should we deal with this group of righteous people?"

"Catch them all and send them back to the dungeon."

"Yes."

After the familiar deep voice sounded, someone stepped forward and dragged Lin Yue up from the ground.

There was another stabbing pain in the chest.

But Lin Yue couldn't bear to blink his eyes, his eyes were always on Xu Qing.

Seeing him staggering forward, step by step.

Seeing him raise his hand to wipe his lips, there was a black and red patch on the back of his hand, full of blood stains.

There was a buzzing in Lin Yue's ears, his heart was twitching, and his body was also churning with blood.Just as he was about to call out Xu Qing's name, he felt his eyes darken, and the overwhelming shadows fell down.

total darkness.

When Lin Yue woke up from his lethargy, his hands and feet felt limp, and his whole body ached.The pain in the chest was especially severe, I don't know if it was because of the injury, or because of Xu Qing...

Just thinking of the word Xu Qing, he instinctively curled his lips into a smile, but then recalled everything that happened last night, and his heart quickly turned cold.

The Xu Qing he liked is no longer there.

The current Xu Qing is the leader of the demon sect who imprisoned his father, and the great demon leader who lured righteous people into a trap.

He and him have never sworn to be incompatible.

Lin Yue smiled wryly and closed his eyes for a while, finally fully awake, turned his head and looked around.

Originally, he thought that he would be locked in a cell, but at this moment, he was actually lying on the bed in the bedroom with a soft quilt covering his body.

The furnishings in the house were not luxurious, but they were cleaned and tidy, not at all like a place where captives were imprisoned.

but……

Lin Yue looked at the iron chains wrapped around his wrists and sighed slightly.

He is a prisoner after all.

While in a trance, he suddenly heard the door of the room being pushed open.

Lin Yue's heart skipped a beat, thinking that the person who came was Xu Qing, but when he looked up, he saw a strange man—the man was also dressed in black, with long hair tied back casually, and thin lips. She pursed her lips slightly and smiled faintly, but her eyes were covered with a black cloth band.

This person's eyes... can't see?

Thinking this way, he saw that person walking over with a medicine bowl, walking steadily, as if he was not affected at all.

"Are you awake? It just so happens that the medicine has just been decocted, so hurry up and drink it while it's hot." The man said as he sat down on the bedside, scooped up the medicine with a spoon and handed it to Lin Yue's mouth.

The voice was warm and soft, like a spring breeze.

Lin Yue was dumbfounded, he didn't drink the medicine, but he just opened his mouth and asked, "Who are you?"

"What?" The man curled his thin lips with a smile that was not a smile, and his voice was as warm as jade. "You went in and out of those two stone houses so many times, but you don't even recognize me as the master?"

Lin Yue was still in a daze, and it took a while before he yelled "Ah", and blurted out: "You are the leader's favorite man!"

The man smiled slightly, neither acknowledging nor denying, just said quietly: "My surname is Cheng, the leader usually calls me Shuangyin."

That smile is gentle and moving, really beautiful.

Lin Yue felt his chest throbbing gradually, and it was cold.

In fact, I was a little confused last night, but it was too chaotic at the time, and I didn't have time to think about it: since Xu Qing is the leader, who is the legendary male favorite?

Now, finally see it.

It turned out that there was not only a difference between good and evil between him and Xu Qing, nor was it just a simple misunderstanding.

From the very beginning, he took the wrong path and met the wrong person.

Lin Yue twitched the corners of his mouth habitually, but he didn't even have the strength to smile. He just raised his head and stared at the top of the bed, motionless.

Cheng Shuangyin was also a very patient person, holding the bowl in his right hand all the time, and said softly, "Take your medicine."

"..."

"If this medicine is cold, the effect will be much worse."

"..."

"Although your injury is not serious, you must take medicine to recover."

"..."

"Oh," Cheng Shuangyin sighed, and suddenly said, "It seems that the leader can only let you eat."

After Lin Yue heard these words, his expression turned cold, and he raised his eyes and looked towards the door.

After a while, the door really opened.

Xu Qing, who was dressed in unlined clothing, walked in slowly, with her hands behind her back, her face as cold as ice.

Lin Yue originally had a cute and quiet appearance, but when he saw the thoughtful face, he became excited and struggled to sit up.Naihe's hands were locked on the head of the bed, unable to move, he could only stare at Xu Qing with wide eyes.

Xu Qing also quietly looked back.

The eyes of the two are intertwined, like a pair of intimate couples, there is no room for other people in the world.

In the end, it was Lin Yue who spoke first, gritted his teeth and asked, "Where are my father and elder brother? Did you hurt them?"

Hearing this, the corners of Xu Qing's mouth twitched, her expression twisted strangely, and she didn't answer.

Lin Yue was startled, with an ominous premonition faintly, and said in a trembling voice, "What did you do to them?"

There was another silence.

After a long time, Xu Qing responded softly: "There is no dead person for the time being."

Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief, but soon became worried again and asked, "Why didn't you lock me up with them?"

Xu Qing's face was stiff, as if she was thinking about how to answer this question, then she took a few steps forward and raised her hand to press Cheng Shuangyin's shoulder.Cheng Shuangyin smiled, stood up tactfully, and stepped aside silently.

Xu Qing sat down at his original position, stretched out her hand, pinched Lin Yue's chin lightly, and said in a low voice: "As I said earlier, those who dare to betray me will not end well."

Lin Yue blinked, feeling a little dazed for a while.

So, Xu Qing locked him in the room alone, and specially sent a male pet to feed him medicine, just to torture him?This kind of torture is too generous.

Leaving aside the distinction between good and evil for the time being, let's put aside the matter of male pets. At least, he should let Xu Qing understand his own intentions.So he took a deep breath and seriously repeated what he said last night: "I did not betray you! I have always been sincere to you..."

"Sincerely?" Xu Qing seemed to hate these two words very much, she would frown when she heard it, and her eyes were even colder. "If there is a person who, after only meeting you a few times, comes to haunt you and keeps saying that he likes you, do you believe him or not?"

Lin Yue was stunned, speechless.

Xu Qing sneered, and then said: "If there is another person who colludes with your assassin and pretends to be injured in order to protect you, do you believe him or not?"

Lin Yue choked and was speechless.

Xu Qing was still smiling, with a stern look in her eyes, and continued: "If there is another person who says he likes you, but actually brings a group of people to kill you, do you believe him or not?"

"No... I'm actually..." Lin Yue had a severe headache and desperately wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say.

What Xu Qing said is all the truth.

But it was clearly just a misunderstanding.

How can he tell Xu Qing that he has always been infatuated?

Lin Yue's face turned pale with anxiety, but Xu Qing just hooked the corners of her mouth and laughed loudly.The more he laughed, the happier he became, and finally his voice became hoarse, so he gradually stopped laughing and said two words softly: "I believe it."

"Eh?"

"I used to..." His eyes were gentle and watery, but his face was hideous and terrifying, and he said every word: "I really believed in such a person."

After finishing the words, he lightly stroked Lin Yue's cheek with his fingers, his eyes were blank, as if looking through him to somewhere far away.

Lin Yue was stunned, and belatedly remembered the rumors he had heard before.

It is said that it was because the leader was betrayed by his lover that his temperament changed drastically and he became a murderous monster.As a result, it was even more difficult for Xu Qing to believe in herself.

Lin Yue secretly groaned in his heart, but still refused to give up, struggling to explain: "I tried every means to sneak into the Devil's Cult in order to save my father, and I didn't collude with others to lie to you."

He stammered a lot, but Xu Qing didn't seem to hear, she still looked over like that, and said hoarsely: "If my brother is still alive, he should be about the same age as you. He was very cute when he was young, and he always liked you. Sticking to me. My parents are also very kind people, and they always tell me to practice martial arts well..."

As she spoke, the confused look on Xu Qing's face gradually disappeared, replaced by an increasingly distorted cold expression, she gritted her teeth and murmured: "I am the one who is obsessed with ghosts, and I am the one who lures wolves into the house. Is it them? Why... don't you just kill me..."

While speaking, his fingers wrapped around Lin Yue's neck bit by bit, and slowly tightened.

Lin Yue was so pinched by him that he felt that Xu Qing was extremely scary at this moment—the eyes were bloodshot, and his expression neither looked like crying nor smiling, he was simply crazy.

However, still like him.

Compared with death, what I am more worried about is how to save Xu Qing from this pain?

Really, just seeing him frowning made me feel distressed.

The pain couldn't be worse, so I could only open my mouth and call softly: "Xu Qing..."

When Xu Qing heard this voice that was as energetic as gossamer, her whole body shook suddenly, as if she suddenly woke up from a dream, she immediately let go of her hands.

"Xiao Yue!" He glanced at the bruise on Lin Yue's neck and blurted out, but then his face changed drastically, he turned his head away quickly, and coughed violently.

Lin Yue managed to save his life, feeling groggy and his vision blurred.I could only vaguely see Xu Qing's body trembling continuously, coughing and saying in a low voice: "Don't believe him, don't believe him, don't believe him..."

Idiot, I am sincere to you.

Lin Yue cried out in his heart, but he couldn't make any sound, so he could only stare at him with wide eyes.

After a while, Cheng Shuangyin, who had been standing in the corner, slowly came forward, groped and grabbed Xu Qing's arm, and said softly, "Enough, leader. Are you planning to die here?"

"Cough cough," Xu Qing raised her hand and wiped the corners of her mouth, as if she was vomiting blood again, she responded nonchalantly, "It's best to die."

Cheng Shuangyin tilted her head and smiled, her voice was soft and soft: "You are dead, what should I do?"

Such a simple sentence suppressed Xu Qing's excitement.

The man, who was coughing non-stop, gradually calmed down his breathing, and the ferocious expression on his face also subsided a lot. He glanced at Lin Yue lightly, got up and left.

Cheng Shuangyin held his arm tightly, following his steps.

Seeing the two of them being so intimate, Lin Yue's chest was tingling, he opened his mouth, and finally called out: "Xu Qing!"

Xu Qing's footsteps suffocated, but she didn't look back.

On the contrary, Cheng Shuangyin turned his head back, accurately turned to his side, and smiled meaningfully.

Then there was a "bang" of the door closing.

Lin Yue gritted his teeth, feeling his chest was sore and stuffy.Even when he was strangled just now, it was not as painful as it is now.

Obviously shouldn't be jealous.

The misunderstanding between him and Xu Qing has not yet been resolved.

But I just couldn't help the pantothenic acid in my teeth, and I was so angry.

Treat him like an old lover from the past, and it's fine if you refuse to believe him, but now you are still entangled with a male favorite, it's really hateful!

Lin Yue had suffered internal injuries, and was almost strangled to death just now. After being angry for a while, he felt sleepy and fell asleep in a daze.

Then he was woken up by a strange noise.

Turning his head and looking out the window, it was still dark, as if it was midnight.

And his hands were still chained, and he couldn't move. He could only hear the strange sound getting louder and clearer—it seemed to be some kind of suppressed low moan, intermittent, as if in extreme pain, but also It seems very happy.

And that light and soft voice is also very special, you will never forget it after hearing it once.

It's Cheng Shuangyin!

Lin Yue's heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat broke out from his palms.

Although he was a bit dull, he was not stupid, and he immediately understood what was going on.The voice was from the next door, and it was clearly intended for him to hear.

It turned out that Xu Qing planned to torture him like this.

The ambiguous voice kept coming into his ears, Lin Yue's eyes widened in a daze, his face was pale, and his whole body was cold.

He likes Xu Qing wholeheartedly, and believes that one day he will be able to explain the misunderstanding clearly, no matter how he is treated, he will not be afraid, only this kind of torture... is absolutely unbearable.

"Ah... ah..." The voice next door was getting louder and louder, as if it was close at hand.

Lin Yue bit his lower lip tightly, desperately pulling his hands that were locked by iron chains.He was only a little bit close to covering his ears, but he couldn't even do such a simple thing.

His chest twitched, it hurt so much.

The so-called ten thousand arrows piercing the heart is probably nothing more than that.

He didn't want to hear anything, and he didn't want to think about anything, but many memories appeared in his mind.The way Xu Qing smiled, the way Xu Qing frowned, the way Xu Qing smiled and said she liked it.

Xu Qing Xu Qing Xu Qing.

As early as a few days ago, Xu Qing had been in love with her, but now...

The tenderness and sweetness in the past, at this moment, has turned into gut-piercing poison.

Lin Yue closed his eyes, wondering in a daze, does Xu Qing really like her?If he had ever been touched by the truth, how could he be willing to torture himself like this?

He must hate him to the bone to come up with such a vicious method.

His cheeks were icy cold and full of water stains.

The skin on his wrist was worn out by the iron chain, and bright red blood oozes out, and his mouth is even more bitter and astringent, with a strong smell of blood.

But the terrible sound continued.

Lin Yue couldn't bear it anymore, and finally yelled loudly, using his own voice to cover the ambiguous moaning next door.His eyes were empty and lifeless, he just kept repeating Xu Qing's name, shouting over and over again: "I am sincere!"

...really hoarse.
