Those years, those jokes, those scum

Chapter 170: Jianghu Dispute, the Chief is Not Obedient 14

What rang in her ears was the familiar crackling sound of burning firewood, and the fresh air was filled with the aroma of grilled fish.

Qin Shuangjiang, who had been awake for a while, continued to pretend not to be awake. First, she really needed more rest, and second, she knew who was standing by her side at this moment. Even though it sounded incredible to her.

Leng Nuan picked up the short wooden stick at her feet and poked the fire. Then she took the roasted fish off the rack and stuck it next to the fire. Then she turned her head to look at Qin Shuangjiang who was lying in the clean grass pile, thinking that it was about time for her to wake up.

Perhaps it was because it was a rare quiet day in the past few months, or because she felt warm after falling into the water, Qin Shuangjiang, who wanted to wait and see what would happen, fell asleep again unconsciously. When she regained consciousness and opened her eyes, she saw the expected person sitting by the fire, with his face pressed against his arms and his eyes closed, looking like he was sleeping peacefully.

"cough,"

"Oh, wake up."

Hearing the movement of the people around him, Leng Nuan opened his eyes and looked over. The two of them secretly observed each other with their own little thoughts, and then tacitly said nothing.

"Here, water." Seeing that Qin Shuangjiang wanted to sit up, Leng Nuan stepped forward and half-knelt on the ground. He put his left arm on her back for support, and took the bamboo tube beside him with his right hand and handed it to her.

Qin Shuangjiang didn't bother to be polite with her. She took the bamboo tube, tilted her head back slightly, and drank from it in small sips to moisten her dry throat. However, she was a little surprised the moment she took a sip. The water was warm?

"Well, it's better to drink some warm water." Seeing the other person's slightly stunned expression, Leng Nuan explained. "Would you like to eat something?"

"Not for now." Qin Shuangjiang shook his head gently, his tone sounding a little weak because of his physical discomfort.

"Okay then, you take a rest first, and we'll talk when you want to eat." Leng Nuan didn't say anything more. She pulled the gray robe that had slipped down onto Qin Shuangjiang's body, and then sat back by the fire, carving with a knife on a piece of wood she had picked up from somewhere.

Qin Shuangjiang, who had recovered some strength, looked around the environment with interest. She didn't know what this cave looked like before. But what was certain was that this place had been cleaned up very carefully. Even the broken stones at the entrance of the cave were neatly and regularly placed aside. Qin Shuangjiang didn't know how to describe it, but she felt very comfortable looking at it.

She reached out and touched the clean and fluffy pile of grass beneath her, feeling a little happy.

"Hey, Leng Nuan." Qin Shuangjiang smiled and waved to her.

"Ok?"

"Would you like to eat fish?" Leng Nuan stopped what he was doing and pointed at the grilled fish that had been sitting by the fire. If it was left for too long, it wouldn't taste as good.

"Tell me, why are you here?" Qin Shuangjiang took the fish and took a slow bite. She changed into a lazy posture to make herself more comfortable, and then waited for the explanation of the person opposite her with interest.

"Don't say you just happened to pass by. You won't even believe it if you tell it to yourself." Before Leng Nuan could explain, Qin Shuangjiang added teasingly. She wanted to see how she followed her.

"Well... you may not believe it, but I was probably summoned by you."

[System warning: Please do not do anything beyond the plot.] A familiar electronic sound suddenly sounded. This time the space was not paused. Leng Nuan realized that his words just now were just blocked.

"Oh, so you're still here." Leng Nuan was not surprised by this situation. But then again, is it really okay for her to be resurrected at any time in this world? Or is it okay for such an existence beyond the reasonable range as long as it serves the role? !

"What did you say?" Qin Shuangjiang felt a little strange. She seemed to hear Leng Nuan say something, but she looked like she didn't say anything. Was it an illusion?

"I said, it's just what you think in your heart." Leng Nuan, who couldn't tell the truth but didn't want to lie to her, turned the question back.

"Oh, how do you know what I'm thinking?" Qin Shuangjiang was amused by this. How could anyone answer like this?

"When people want an answer, they have often already made a choice in their hearts. If you already have your own beliefs in your heart, what difference does it make whether I say it or not?"

This sentence - why does it sound so familiar? Qin Shuangjiang frowned in confusion, but fortunately her good memory came into play. She remembered that she had said the same thing in the inn in Luocheng last time. How lazy is this person? Is he too lazy to even make up a lie? Qin Shuangjiang glared at her unhappily when she thought of this. She felt that she was being perfunctory.

"Well, do you want to know what I'm thinking?" Qin Shuangjiang raised his eyebrows and looked at her provocatively.

"I was wondering, if I'm in danger, will you come down from the sky to protect me?" This was no joke. Ever since Leng Nuan came out to save her for the second time, she had been harboring this weird thought in her mind. After all, with her martial arts skills, if someone was lurking around her for a long time, she would not be able to sense it at all. Moreover, that action was indeed her impromptu decision, and no matter how well-planned it was, it would be impossible for someone to guess it.

Qin Shuangjiang held her breath unconsciously, her hands grasped under her skirt unintentionally, her eyes staring straight at Leng Nuan's face, not daring to miss any change in her expression. Intuitively, this answer would be very, very important to her.

"Maybe it's just like what you said." Leng Nuan smiled at her and said frankly, "I exist for you." After that, she waited for a while, and this answer did not cause any warning from the auxiliary system. This also relatively proved her guess. That is, if the character discovered or changed by himself...

Well, that's fine, it's none of her business. She didn't break any rules.

Qin Shuangjiang curled her lips, not seeming very satisfied. Of course, Leng Nuan's attitude was to approve of her idea. But how could a living person suddenly appear and disappear for no reason?

"Then how did you suddenly appear?"

"So what are your plans now?"

Two voices sounded at the same time, and the two looked straight at each other, neither of them giving in.

"Well, this is what happened..." Qin Shuangjiang felt a little uncomfortable when he saw his reflection clearly in Leng Nuan's black and white eyes. In the end, he was defeated by the clear and focused eyes and took a step back.

"So you have to find the real murderer." Leng Nuan didn't get the complete story, but only knew that the false accusation case was not solved in the end, but the incident became more and more serious during the investigation. Under the misunderstandings and conflicts again and again, the Holy Moon Cult eventually went on the road to destruction.

"Humph, of course." She wanted to see who dared to frame her! Qin Shuangjiang's eyes were filled with murderous intent. She began to plan where to start with the 108 kinds of torture in the Xingfeng Hall.

"Hmm..." Leng Nuan sat upright on the ground, placing his right index finger on his knee and tapping it lightly and rhythmically.

"Why, do you have a better idea?" Qin Shuangjiang asked curiously when he saw her looking thoughtful.

"Master Qin, do I have a question?" Leng Nuan nodded and asked seriously.

"If you do nothing about this matter, will those people pose any threat to you?"

"Oh~ With them! What can they do to me?" Qin Shuangjiang answered with a proud look on her face. To her, the Holy Moon Sect was just a group of people with no strength who only knew how to shout. What else could they do besides calling her a devil all day long? Besides, no matter whether she did these things or not, they would always shout nonsense at her!

"It was actually them who caused the trouble. Why did you have to work so hard in vain?"

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you think it's comfortable to see them gritting their teeth as if they want to kill you but can't do anything to you?" Leng Nuan said happily with a big smile.

It seems... that's the case. Qin Shuangjiang listened and thought about it, then gave him an approving look.

"No, you just believe what I said?" And aren't you from an orthodox and prestigious family? ! Qin Shuangjiang was surprised to see the other party accept it so quickly.

"Ah, I believe you. This must be a frame-up." Hearing her question, Leng Nuan answered without thinking.

"Really?" Even though Qin Shuangjiang didn't care what others thought of him, he couldn't help but feel a little happy. After all, it was good to have someone trust you unconditionally.

Qin Shuangjiang was still a little touched in his heart, but before he could fully appreciate this feeling, he saw Leng Nuan fiddling with the pile of grass on the stone wall and said, "After all, with your strength, you wouldn't be stupid enough to be caught on the spot if you want to kill someone."

"..."What are the 108 kinds of torture in Xingfeng Hall?
