Chapter 56 The enemy doesn't move, I don't move

Jinyiwei Suzhou Qianhu Office, in the courtyard where Peng Ke stayed.

In the west wing of the backyard, Yan Qingbo, who had just arrived here not long ago, was leading the little maid to tidy up the room.

She brought a lot of things, basically packed the whole Meilou.

"Saint, I still don't understand why you don't just use the "Falling in Love" to make Mr. Peng fall in love with you, so that you can complete the mission of the suzerain and get the man you love. It's the best of both worlds."

"You choose to fight against the suzerain now. If something goes wrong, the life of the Muzhang envoy will be lost."

The little maid named Xiaocui muttered dissatisfiedly while helping Yan Qingbo tidy up.

In her opinion, Yan Qingbo is doing something thankless.

There are easier and better ways not to go, but to dance on the iron chain and have your heart beat.

Since she likes Punk, and the suzerain asked her to control Punk, why not go along with it?
Originally, after practicing the exercises, sooner or later there will be a day when they will be used!

Yan Qingbo, who was lowering her head and arranging her clothes, shook her head, and said in a tone that Xiao Cui didn't understand: "Xiao Cui, people living in this world need to know why they live."

"I like him, but if the relationship between us needs to be maintained by a charming secret method, then this liking has no meaning."

"Do you know, I have imagined countless times that if I am not the saint of the Hehuan Sect, but just an ordinary girl from an ordinary family, maybe my brother Ke's child and I have already been born."

"But in reality, it's just a fantasy."

"Looking back, I keep looking at the two years I spent with him."

"But I found that hiding my inferiority complex, avoiding jealousy, and pretending to be self-respecting are the things I have done the most in front of him."

"It's just because I'm a pawn of the Hehuan Sect, a tool without any freedom."

"I don't even dare to think about liking someone."

"Because I approached him with a mission, and even wanted to kill him!"

"Since I was eight years old, my life doesn't belong to me anymore, just like a puppet, at the mercy of the suzerain. I've had enough of this kind of life."

"Even if I do this according to the suzerain's request, it's nothing more than continuing to be a puppet under the suzerain's command at will, so what's the point!"

"The suzerain can use my aunt's life to threaten me to control brother Ke now, and then he may use my aunt's life to threaten me to kill brother Ke!"

"At that time, what should I do?"

"I've had enough!"

"I don't want to live a life where I'm threatened by others, I don't want to be controlled by others!"

"I want to live freely and control my own destiny!"

"Love clearly, loathe directly, like sincerely, and live frankly under the sun!"

"Instead of being like this now, constantly changing identities, wearing a mask, and existing as a tool for the Acacia Sect to control the powerful!"

It was the first time that Yan Qingbo expressed the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart so nakedly.

Even if the object of expression is just a little maid.

But after she finished speaking, the big rock that was pressing on her heart was finally broken by herself. She felt much more at ease and said with a smile, "He once said a word."

"The so-called freedom is not doing whatever you want, but self-mastery."

"As long as he can uproot the Hehuan sect, then I will be free from now on and live only for myself!"

"In this way, I can stand upright by his side and become the person who will stay with him for the rest of my life!"

"Instead of being ordered and forced to approach him like now! Kill him!"

Xiaocui was startled by Yan Qingbo's sudden emotional outburst, her mouth was slightly opened, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

She is just a weak, pitiful and helpless little girl, her little head really can't hold so many things.

But she could also see that Yan Qingbo's words were not explaining to her at all.

It's just a matter of firming up the decision I made, which can be regarded as self-encouragement.

"That... Holy Maiden, do you have that much confidence in Master Peng? What if he fails to rescue the Dusk Hand or misses for a while?" Xiaocui muttered in a low voice.

"No chance!" Yan Qingbo slapped the table, glaring at Xiao Cui angrily: "There is nothing in the world that he cannot do!"

"As long as he thinks and wants, he can do it!"

"I believe in him!"

Xiao Cui quickly shut up, not daring to speak anymore, she could only think to herself.

It's scary after liking someone!
She suddenly felt that it would be nice not to have anyone she likes, at least not like the saint, who would trust each other so blindly.
What if after Peng Ke rescued Mu Wanqing, he used Mu Wanqing's life to threaten Yan Qingbo to work for him?
Isn't this just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den?

In Xiaocui's eyes, Peng Ke, whose "name" has been passed down in the world, is not a kinder person than the suzerain of the Acacia Sect.
But Xiao Cui never dared to say this, only dared to think about it secretly in her heart.
As soon as Xiaocui shut up, the room fell into peace again.

The master and servant buried their heads and continued to arrange the salute.

But it was obvious that Yan Qingbo was much more relaxed than before, and would hum a ditty from time to time.

Until, a captain of Jinyiwei appeared outside the west wing.

"Miss Gu, my lord, please bring something related to your aunt, preferably something she used, and go to the front hall to meet your lord."

According to the cognition of Hehuanzong, Peng Ke knew the former Mu Xinyou and the current Gu Nianqing.

In short, he just didn't know Yan Qingbo.

So Yan Qingbo's identity to the outside world is still Gu Nianqing, after all, he has to do a full set of acting.

Hearing the captain's words, Yan Qingbo and Xiaocui looked at each other suspiciously.

"understood."

Although he didn't know what Peng Ke was going to do, Yan Qingbo obeyed obediently, took out a silver hairpin from his headgear box, and followed the captain into the front hall.

In the front hall, Peng Ke was drinking tea with Dong Yunzi in silence.

He was feeling a little awkward in the atmosphere, and was about to find a topic to talk about with Dong Yunzi, when the captain had already brought Yan Qingbo back.

"My lord, Miss Gu is here."

After seeing Yan Qingbo arrive, Peng Ke waved the guards to retreat.

It wasn't until there were only Peng Ke, Ah Hu, Yu Dong Yunzi, and Yan Qingbo left in the main hall that Peng Ke briefly explained his arrangement to Yan Qingbo.

After listening to Peng Ke's introduction, Yan Qingbo said in surprise: "Taoist qi refiners actually have such means, they can use birth date horoscopes and objects to find people?"

Don't think she is a martial artist, but they don't know much about these qi refiners.

After all, these qi refiners have always represented mystery, and their methods will not be shown lightly to others.

In addition to the signature methods of Qi refiners such as inviting gods and spells, they are already well known.

There are different opinions about the other methods used by these qi refiners, and the various secret arts and methods mastered, and it is difficult to distinguish whether the rumors are true or false.

Hearing that Dong Yunzi still has this kind of secret technique, Yan Qingbo hastily told Dong Yunzi Mu Wanqing's birth date, and handed him the silver hairpin in his hand.

"This hairpin is a gift from Aunt Wanqing when I was 14 years old. It is a hairpin she has worn for a long time. Is it okay?"

Dong Yunzi took the hairpin, and after running the magic power for a while, he nodded and looked at Peng Ke: "Master Peng, how about opening the altar now?"

"Not urgent."

Peng Ke shook his head and stopped Dong Yunzi from moving.

Yan Qingbo looked at Peng Ke puzzled, why didn't he cast a spell to find Aunt Wanqing's hiding place and send someone to rescue her?

But soon Yan Qingbo was relieved again.

She believed that it was reasonable for Penke to do so.

It was Peng Ke who took the initiative and said, "Since the news of my ransom has already been spread, let's see what the suzerain of the Acacia Sect wants to do next."

"Since you want to act, then act well."

"So why rush to smash the stage?"

"Then we are now?" Yan Qingbo asked suspiciously.

Penke raised his eyelids and glanced at her, then said expressionlessly, "Wait."

"Wait for the villain to come on stage."

"Wait for the show to begin."
