Chapter 158 Fake Death
The death of a disciple in each sect is a common occurrence and is not rare at all. Generally, such things will not bother the head of the sect and others. At most, the master will collect the body of the disciple who has become a disciple. For the rest of the unknown disciples, the person in charge will find out the reason and contact their family members when the token is not lit.
Qin Shuxue was not a qualified disciple, but Chongyun Sect inevitably had spies from other sects, so Ju Jifeng decided to put on a show. However, Qin Shuxue must not be brought back to the sect right after faking his death, as this would raise too many suspicions, so it would be better to find someone trustworthy to take care of him.
Needless to say, Heng Li naturally wanted to take on this job, but was blocked by Ju Jifeng's words: "Everyone knows that you care about Qin Shuxue. If you go, how can you not see the clues? I will find someone else. Remember to act sad and don't cause any trouble for me."
Heng Li was dissatisfied: "You said you were looking for someone, but where can we find anyone? The better ones have all gone to the sect competition..."
This kid has had no respect for him since he became his disciple. Ju Jifeng could only lament that he was too old to take care of the child, which annoyed Heng Li so much that he finally compromised.
Heng Li pushed the small wooden cart carrying Qin Shuxue towards the mass grave he had been to before. In order to act more realistically, he cried without any image the whole time, and Situ Xiayan followed him and patted his back while wiping her tears. Not to mention the road outside the sect, even the part of leaving the sect attracted many people's sidelong glances and discussions. It's not surprising, if you see someone who doesn't say a few words all day walking and crying, you have to gossip about it.
Heng Li acted like this all the way, and felt that his face was numb from crying. He had already left Chongyun Sect, and just when he wanted to stop and rest, a figure flew over from nowhere, blocked the wooden cart, and was about to lift the white cloth covering it. Fortunately, Heng Li was quick to stop him. When he looked up, he saw that Ying Yong's expression was a mess. It was hard to tell what his mood was now, because he seemed unable to put on a normal expression.
"Let go, get out of here!" This did not affect Heng Li's anger at all, "Do you still think you have the nerve to come here?"
"Is Qin Shuxue really dead? I don't believe it. Let me take a look. She is definitely not dead." Ying Yong did not answer Heng Li. He used his other hand to lift the white cloth and carefully looked at whether the cloth on Qin Shuxue's face was blown up.
Although Qin Shuxue was in a state of fake death and could hide it from others, it was originally a magic prepared for the royal family, and it might not be able to hide it from the royal family. If it was possible, Hengli would not want to show it to him. But now Ying Yong seemed to have lost his soul, grabbing the cloth and asking again and again. Hengli kicked him away. He hated people who dithered when they should do things, so he pushed the wooden cart and left.
Although Ying Yong fell to the ground, he got up quickly. Seeing that he couldn't convince Heng Li, he raised his hand and cast a spell on the wooden cart, trying to burn the white cloth with fire.
Situ Xiayan had been on guard against Ying Yong, so she quickly put out the spark on the cloth - she couldn't help but doubt this man's intentions, why would he take action without considering Qin Shuxue?
Needless to say, Heng Li had been holding back for a long time without getting angry. Now Ying Yong himself ran into the muzzle of the gun and rushed over to punch him in the face: "How innocent are you? You have your position. You are the prince. Where were you when she was injured and dying? You are just a waste. You can neither say a word to her nor protect her! I don't care what other intentions you have, but she is dead now. You can stay away from her!"
Ying Yong barely blocked it. It didn't matter whether he got hit or not. He didn't refute. He crawled under Heng Li's raised hand. His purpose was very clear, which was to confirm whether Qin Shuxue was still alive.
Heng Li always thought that this man was a mental patient. He didn't respond to his attack, so he turned around and wanted to whip him. Situ Xiayan was not a fool either. Although she didn't need to whip him, she still gave him a few light and heavy blows.
This was a dilemma. If she hit too lightly, it would be ineffective. If she hit too hard, it would be unnecessary. Ying Yong had already pulled back the white cloth, revealing Qin Shuxue's face. Her face was pale and bloodless, a little different from when she was alive. The wounds on her body, big and small, were not bandaged, revealing the flesh inside, and even slightly purple. It was obvious that it was the work of poison.
Ying Yong couldn't believe it. He just grabbed Jing Hanrou and gave her a lecture, but Jing Hanrou threw a tantrum and threatened him. He was just a toy in front of her, with no self. Jing Hanrou was obviously a person with her own ideas. Nothing Ying Yong said could shake her. In the end, the two parted unhappily.
But no one told him that in just a short while, Qin Shuxue was in trouble. He knew those words were false, but he also heard that they wanted Qin Shuxue to die, and he just didn't believe that with Heng Li and Ju Jifeng here, Qin Shuxue would die in vain.
However, when he looked closer, it seemed to be the case. Qin Shuxue's breathing had stopped. If her expression had not been so desperate, he would have really thought she was asleep. Ying Yong reluctantly pried open Qin Shuxue's eyelids. The pupils of her eyes were dilated, which could not be faked.
Ying Yong found it hard to accept this fact. He took two big steps back. If Qin Shuxue died, what would happen to all his things and plans?
Could it be that he recognized the wrong person? He never saw the mark on Qin Shuxue's forehead again. But if she was not that person in this world, could there be another one?
Ying Yong refused to believe it, dragged Qin Shuxue off the wooden cart, leaned over her chest, and tried to hear her heartbeat. However, there was nothing, only a big hole of wound, and the touch of blood and flesh made him shudder. He realized belatedly that Qin Shuxue was dead, not asleep, nor angry, but lost her life forever. It didn't matter what was planned or not. She was dead, and from now on, there would probably be no other girl who could treat him so well.
He put Qin Shuxue on the cart absentmindedly, took off his coat and put it behind her head, as if he was afraid that she would be uncomfortable sleeping. He ignored the two people behind him and pushed the wooden cart down the mountain.
What is this for? Heng Li rushed over and stopped him: "Where are you going? Get it straight, this is a corpse, do you want to take it home?"
"I can really take it home and put it there. Since you Chongyun Sect just throws your disciples away randomly, what's wrong with me taking it away? Can't I just pick up the things you don't want?"
