Chapter 481: Heart

As soon as the work was divided, Qi Zhongtang said to Qi Xiangxiang: "Proceed with caution."

"I know, dad." Qi Xiangxiang's eyes fell on Jiang Yang again, and then he said, "Let's go."

Qi Xiangxiang was actually a little apprehensive in his heart, but it was good, at least he had the opportunity to ask this Jiang Shaoxia clearly.

The two teams separated from the village, lit torches, and quickly searched the forest outside.

Qi Xiangxiang said to Zhu You: "Brother Zhu, please take someone around here to see if there are any clues."

"Yes, second lady."

The people from Wanhu Villa lit torches and went to the forest ahead, leaving only Qi Xiangxiang and Jiang Yang in place.

Only then did Qi Xiangxiang turn around, staring sharply at Jiang Yang and said, "Jiang Shaoxia, you were the one who helped you when you dealt with that female devil just now, right? You are such a good martial artist, why did you hide it from everyone?"

Although she didn't see Jiang Yang make a move with her own eyes, judging from the voice and the people present at the time, she had already guessed that it was Jiang Shaoxia who claimed to be from outside the region who helped her.

She didn't know what kind of kung fu Jiang Yang was using, but instead of making a direct move, she used that peculiar way to control her body to make a move, and she was able to easily force the long-haired female devil back. This kind of martial arts accomplishment was simply unheard of.

Jiang Yang thought for a while, glanced around, made sure there were no other people, and then replied: "Because I'm worried that among the people gathered by Wanhu Villa, there are spies from the Demon Sect."

"Spies? How is this possible?" Everyone gathered here to slay demons and eliminate demons. Qi Xiangxiang obviously didn't want to believe that there would be spies from the Demon Sect among such people.

"Think about it." Jiang Yang analyzed, "Why did we meet people from the Demon Sect when we were stationed in Xiaoshi Village? Why did the Demon Slayer soldiers disappear after repelling the demon girls from the Demon Sect?"

"Obviously, all of this was premeditated."

Although Qi Xiangxiang is not willing to accept such a guess from an emotional point of view, but from a rational analysis, it is indeed possible.

Jiang Yang continued: "With all due respect, if this is the case, the details of your Wanhu Villa may have been investigated by Mozong."

"But they don't know my details. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I choose to hide part of my strength, which is the best way."

"..." Qi Xiangxiang was a little depressed, and she said indignantly, "Daddy and Big Brother Lu planned carefully, how could it be so easy for the Mozong to investigate clearly? I would rather believe that this was just an accident."

Jiang Yang said: "Of course, I also hope that this is just an accident. But to be on the safe side, we need to prepare for the worst."

"You are too reserved." Qi Xiangxiang complained.

At this time, she no longer had the prejudice against Jiang Yang when she first met. After all, Jiang Yang saved her life just now.

But Qi Xiangxiang felt from the bottom of his heart that Jiang Yang was too boring and not refreshing at all.

She felt that Jiang Shaoxia was more like an assassin who was always hiding in the shadows, rather than an upright swordsman.

There was some resistance in her heart to such behavior.

She said to Jiang Yang: "Thank you for what happened just now."

Qi Xiangxiang hesitated for a moment, obviously struggling in his heart, but finally said to Jiang Yang: "But next time, please don't use that way again."

"Really?" Jiang Yang looked at the other party with some doubts, "Why do you say that?"

"Don't you want to win?"

Qi Xiangxiang shook his head: "Of course I want to help father kill demons and defeat these demon sect members."

Jiang Yang frowned: "Isn't that right? Isn't it the most basic thing to hide your strength and wait for the opportunity?"

"No, no, you are wrong!" Qi Xiangxiang shook his head again.

She took a deep breath, and seemed to be thinking about this question in her heart: "Perhaps you are right, hiding your strength can indeed catch them by surprise at critical moments."

"but……"

"but what?"

Qi Xiangxiang said: "But we are not those evil spirits. We can clearly be upright, instead of playing these small tricks."

Jiang Yang laughed and said, "Isn't this stupid?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qi Xiangxiang was anxious and angry, "You are really a foreigner, you don't understand at all."

"Understand what?" Jiang Yang clearly felt that what he did was the most reasonable, but the other party also looked very reasonable. Could it be that this girl is a bit stubborn?

He looked at Qi Xiangxiang with a bit of disdain. It seemed that the people he met this time were not very smart.

Is it possible that I want to change teams?
Qi Xiangxiang was still somewhat indignant, she said to Jiang Yang: "Aren't you heartless?"

"Or, are you just a puppet who uses unscrupulous means to achieve your goals?"

"..."

Jiang Yang rarely answered. Maybe he was a little numb to such words, or maybe, or maybe, the other party's words touched something in his heart.

This can't help but remind him of his past.

His memory has always been very good, even before he got a strange disease, it was better than that of ordinary people.

But about childhood memories, he almost never recalled them.

On the gray-white stadium, there are only a few boys playing football, with gray clothes and gray faces.

A football covered in mud and water rolled down beside the field. A thin, short boy stepped forward, bent down to pick it up, and seemed to want to join in.

But the next moment, a tall boy grabbed the football in his arms and pushed him before leaving.

On the stadium that had just rained, he sat down in a puddle, covered in mud.

"Go away, who is willing to play with you?"

"Everyone, don't play with this kind of person."

"He's just a bastard with no father or mother."

"I'm still crying, are you ashamed, hahaha!"

Jiang Yang shook his head, how long ago did it happen, what else do you want it to do?
But after that, for a long time, he was alone.

It wasn't until high school that he started to make some friends, but in fact he didn't really know how to get along with them.

Seeing Jiang Yang being silent for a long time, Qi Xiangxiang hurriedly said, "You... are you okay?"

"I'm sorry." She said hurriedly, "I said something harsh just now."

"I shouldn't have said that to you either. Don't take it too seriously."

"It's not your problem." Jiang Yang said, "Just now I just thought of something from the past."

"Unhappy things?"

"Yeah." Jiang Yang said, "But it's all over."

"Let's find the lost Demon Slayer first, and don't let the thief get away."

Qi Xiangxiang's hand holding the sword clenched subconsciously. She could feel the changes in Jiang Yang's body. In any case, she was still a little worried, after all, Jiang Yang saved her life.

With some tentativeness, she looked Jiang Yang up and down with a pair of almond eyes, and asked uncertainly: "Are... are you really okay?"

Jiang Yang shook his head, and said indifferently: "Of course it's fine, Miss Qi should care about her own affairs first compared to me."
