My enemies became my companions

Chapter 110 Chen Yi's Filial Piety

"What? Why did he do that?"

When Yin Tingxue learned what happened from Min Ning, she was shocked.

She could never have imagined that Chen Yi would actually attack and kill Yin Jianshan Jianjia.

Didn’t what she said that night leave any trace in his heart?

When she thought of this, Yin Tingxue felt inexplicably lost.

It was as if... she suddenly realized that she was not that important in Chen Yi's heart... the so-called status she had before was just an illusion.

"But he followed her in afterwards."

Min Ning saw her expression change and began to narrate.

Yin Tingxue's expression softened when she heard this, and she raised her eyebrows.
It seems that it is not that unimportant, and still has some status...

Min Ning stared at the tightly closed bronze door with a solemn expression.

She lent him her purity of thoughts, hoping to lend him some righteousness as well, but she never thought that he would make such a choice.

It was obvious that once he entered, he would no longer have the initiative, but he still went in.

"Did I... do something wrong?"

Min Ning's heroic brows were knitted together, revealing a bit of sadness.
"Shouldn't I have lent him that knife?"

Even though her reason told her that he was unlikely to become righteous just because she lent him a knife, in fact, he was not righteous at all, otherwise he would not have done the thing of attacking Jianjia.

His actions were more like the accumulation of small things into a big one, the influence of many factors, not just her alone.

However, Min Ning still couldn't help worrying about it.

That's just the way she is.

"I'm afraid he's in great danger this time."

Min Ning muttered to himself.

Yin Tingxue was happy to hear this.

It's better if something bad happens. It's better if something bad happens to him.

After killing the three corpses, he will become a good person and won't bully me like that anymore.

Min Ning saw Yin Tingxue's happy expression and felt mixed emotions. She was now standing on Chen Yi's side and didn't want to see this scene, but she also felt an inexplicable guilt towards the girl.

"Feel sorry."

Min Ning said.

Yin Tingxue looked puzzled.

"I didn't stop him from taking you away, and I didn't help you escape later."

Min Ning said softly.

The daughter of King Xiang opened her mouth in surprise, then forced a smile and shook her head gently. Only she knew how much sadness she felt in her heart.

Fortunately, she is a person who is easily satisfied and not really strong-willed, otherwise she would not have been so tough for only a short while.

Leaning against the stone bridge pillar, Yin Tingxue rubbed her face, held up her chin and looked at the gate, thinking of Yintai Temple in her mind. She always wanted to go back, and now she was looking forward to returning to the capital as soon as possible. Chen Yi, who had beheaded the three corpses, would take her there. If possible, she also hoped that he would let her go.

What if Chen Yi fails to kill him?
Yin Tingxue was suddenly shocked when she thought of this possibility.

Master Zhou said that his corpse-laying was extraordinary, and that Master Yu Zhen Yuan also said that he was too self-centered. If something went wrong, he might not be able to kill him...

Wouldn't he be bullying himself for the rest of his life?

Yin Tingxue looked a little sad, and as she continued thinking, she thought of something even more terrifying.

If he failed to kill the three corpses, what would Master Zhou do?

I probably won’t die, but...something terrible will happen to me.

Yin Tingxue felt uncomfortable just thinking about it. She had always liked the taciturn Master Tongxuan and even had a little admiration for him.

Will the evil person bully her and the people she admires as well?

Her thoughts kept drifting away. When she thought of the bed curtains, Chen Yi always liked her to prop up the bed board and toss her on it little by little. She had been bullied by him for so long that she had gotten used to it no matter how much she disliked it. However, Master Zhou…

Master Zhou only has one hand!

Even if she followed his wishes, she would still be bullied like this. What if he asked her to support the bed with one hand in order to torment Master Zhou?
It must be so sore and tiring to support with one hand...

Thinking of Chen Yi's arrogant look, Yin Tingxue felt uneasy, and the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

"No, no, I'm the ninth best in the world."

Yin Tingxue rubbed her face to try to sober herself up, but even so, she still felt a little flustered.

Not far away on the river bank, there was another person looking at the bronze gate. It was neither Yin Weiying nor Queen An. The female nun was meditating with her eyes closed, while the latter was still in a coma.

The one staring at the gate was Lin Wanheng. She was shaking. She heard the sound of running water and kept holding her stomach. She almost squatted on the ground and retched. In the last second before she fainted, she heard Chen Yi kicking Lin Yan's body into the water. He kicked it directly into the dark river, so she couldn't even bury the body.

She will be a widow in the future. Etiquette is more important than anything else. An ordinary lady can go out with her maid from time to time, or even go to the theatre, but a widow will be gossiped by people with ulterior motives every time she steps out of the house. She may also be looked down upon by her family members. She has to spend the whole day doing needlework. The sound of the silver needle threading through the silk thread has suffocated too many women.

Listening to the sound of running water, Lin Wanheng got goose bumps on the back of his hands. When he closed his eyes, he could only hear Chen Yi's indifferent tone and the sound of blood gushing out.

"When will he die? Will he die in there?"

She never thought of killing anyone.
But for the first time, she wished to die alone.

....................................

She was relieved the day he died.

Zhou Yitang, who was wearing only a single piece of clothing, recalled and turned his head to look at Chen Yi.

He was fast asleep, and had not yet risen.
There was a faint dim light shining on her profile. He followed her into the door of death and resurrection. He knew exactly what she was going to do, but now she was sleeping soundly without any defense.

Just like in his previous life, Zhou Yitang could have killed him countless times. He didn't need any advanced sword skills, just a stab of a hairpin would be enough. He had made up his mind several times, but when the time came, he couldn't bear to do it.

The one-armed woman looked at Chen Yi's face in silence. After an unknown amount of time, she subconsciously reached out her hand, only touched it lightly, and then pulled it back as if it was burned.

She turned sideways and recited scriptures to clear her mind and concentrate her spirit. Zhou Yitang did not look at him. She hated him to the core, as if she wanted to strangle his neck if she touched him. She hated him and did not want to touch him, but the woman's mind was in a thousand turns, and when she looked at him sideways again, she still reached out her hand unconsciously.

Zhou Yitang rubbed his fingertips across the face and stared at it absent-mindedly, as if trying to confirm that this was not a reflection in the mist.

As always, she only dared to touch his cheek at this moment.

Zhou Yitang remembered when he first arrived at Yinjian Mountain. He was so likable and filial at that time. Even his seemingly indifferent but actually arrogant senior sister Lu Ying was taken care of by him. He had average talent and a strong murderous intention, but other than that, there was no better disciple than him.

But later...

Remembering the crisp sound of the broken sword, the one-armed woman's fingers trembled slightly and stopped on his cheek.

"Forget it. After I've resolved his ego and killed his three corpses, I'll let the past go."

As she thought about this, Zhou Yitang caressed his lips inadvertently.

At this moment, Chen Yi moved and turned over in a daze.

Zhou Yitang withdrew her hand and returned to her original sleeping place. She and Chen Yi slept on the left and right walls respectively, six feet apart.

Then, seeing Chen Yi moving around as if he had woken up midway, Zhou Yitang lay down on the Taoist robe spread on the ground and closed his eyes.

Most Qigong practitioners need to meditate quietly, and Master Tongxuan is naturally good at this as well. His breathing is steady, just like he is really sleeping.

Zhou Yitang relaxed, but heard Chen Yi rustling closer.

She was a little nervous, but still nothing was wrong, just confused.

Then, she felt Chen Yi lift up the Taoist robe on the ground, then close it and cover her with it, tucking her in.

He was worried that she would catch a cold.

The one-armed woman's eyelids moved slightly, and her heart ached.

What a familiar action; he had always been filial, and even though his evil ambitions became apparent later, he still took care of her in both overt and covert ways so that she could hardly complain.

Even Lu Ying is far inferior to him.

"Master..."

Chen Yi shouted in a low voice,

“…I actually missed you a lot.”

The one-armed woman pretended to be asleep.

She understood better than anyone that he was terrifyingly gentle in places that women could not see.

He didn't say anything else, just looked at her sleeping face silently.

Chen Yi stretched out his hand, as if to touch her face.

Zhou Yitang closed his eyes and waited.

After he gently touched her face, he withdrew his hand and pulled her Taoist robe tighter, as if he was afraid that the robe would fall off when she turned over in her sleep.

Zhou Yitang's heart softened.

He reached out his hand again, as if to touch her face.

Then...it slid down very naturally.

"..."

When his hand really reached out, Zhou Yitang was shocked and astonished beyond words.

Her ears turned red, and she gritted her teeth secretly.

A slight tingling sensation on the chest.

This traitor is really filial! He is filial to the core!
