"Xuebao, you are too easily moved." Lan Ning held her face and lowered his head to look at the tears on her face. He then used his finger to gently wipe them away.
Xuebao was shocked by his sudden movement. She hurriedly pulled his hand away. She randomly touched the tears on her face and smiled embarrassedly. "Sorry, I just feel that he looks like a relative of mine."
She suddenly turned to the staff and asked seriously, "May I ask if this painting can be sold? I want it."
The staff member lowered his head apologetically. "Sorry, the things here are not for sale."
Xuebao was greatly disappointed. She looked at Yueye's portrait reluctantly. She really wanted this painting. Was it because he was somewhat similar to Yan Junyi? She smiled bitterly in her heart.
At this moment, a staff member's voice suddenly sounded behind her. "Friends, please come over here."
The classmates gathered over and Lan Ning pulled Xuebao's hand. He smiled and said, "Let's go."
The staff member led everyone to another palace. This palace was a little smaller than the main hall, but it was similarly magnificent and strange. The difference was that there was a round pool in the middle. The water inside was red like blood!
Ever since she had met Yan Junyi, Xuebao had been especially sensitive to blood. When she saw this pool, her heart skipped a beat.
The staff member smiled and said, "The water in the pool is red. Legend has it that the water in the pool is clear to the bottom. But on the 15th of every month, when the moon is at its most round, the water will strangely turn red. It can also reflect the shadow of the moonlight. Of course, this is only a legend. " The staff member smiled and said:" Everyone can look up at the ceiling. The skyflower was sealed by the stone wall. It's impossible for moonlight to shine in"
Xuebao followed everyone and looked up. It was impossible for moonlight to shine in! All of this was just a legend!
"Legend has it that the water will turn blood red. This is a warning from the ancestors of the Yuexi Country to Yueye. When Yueye was killed, it happened to be the 15th. The water in the pond could no longer return to its original color. Until today, it was still red. " The staff deliberately emphasized the word 'legend'. It could be seen that she did not believe that these things were real!
Xuebao saw that the water flowing out from the canal in the corner was really red. This discovery made her unable to help but exclaim. Lin Jian saw her surprised look and smiled. "You really believe it? This is just a problem of light. You can use a jar to store a bottle of water and go out to take a look."
"Really? Wouldn't this be too disrespectful to Yueye?" Xuebao really wanted to give it a try, but in the end, she held it in. She stared at the pool of blood-red water, and her heart felt very stifled and uncomfortable.
Was Yueye really killed on the 15th? Yan Junyi fell ill on the 15th, what a coincidence!
Under the lead of the staff member, the students practically visited the entire underground palace, but there was a place where the staff member said that because there were too many treasures inside, they were not allowed to visit, and that was the Empress's temporary bedroom.
Xuebao felt very regretful, but she had no choice. When they finished visiting, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening. The students walked out of the underground palace while discussing whether to barbeque or play games.
A girl looked up at the round moon in the sky and said excitedly, "Today's moon is very round and bright, let's barbecue in the garden and then dance, how about it?"
"Okay!" The girl's suggestion made a large group of boys and girls applaud! They walked towards the vacation villa.
The girl's words made Xuebao's footsteps suddenly stagnate. She suddenly looked up. The round moon emitted a gentle and clear light, illuminating the entire mountain forest.
A wave of fear instantly surged in Xuebao's heart and her face gradually became pale.
Lin Jian, who was walking in front, suddenly found that there was no one around him. He turned his head and saw Xuebao staring at the full moon with a smile. "Xuebao, what happened to you? You have never seen the moon in the suburbs before?"
The moon attracted Xuebao's eyes. She asked in a daze, "Lin Jian, what's the date today?"
"It's the 15th today." Lin Jian smiled and knocked on her head.
Today was the full moon! This was Yan Junyi's Day of Suffering! She suddenly had a strong desire to immediately run to his side. She really wanted to stay by his side and accompany him.
She remembered the helplessness and melancholy on his face when she asked him to come and visit Moon God Temple three days ago. At that time, she should have thought of what day today was!
Xuebao suddenly turned around and stared at Lin Jian and said seriously, "Lin Jian! I want to go home!" Then she turned around and ran towards the road back home.
She knew she didn't have a car to go home, but she still stubbornly wanted to go home. There was only one thought in her heart, and that was to return to his side!
Did her feelings towards Yan Junyi already reach such a deep extent? No! She was only moved by Yueye, moved by the Moon God!
"Xuebao!" Lin Jian was shocked and quickly chased after her. He shouted loudly, "Are you crazy? There is no car now! What's wrong with you? Hurry up and stop!"
The students were stunned by these two figures.
Xuebao seemed to not hear Lin Jian's shout as she ran. The night wind whistled by her ears. The bright moonlight illuminated the path under her feet. In her entire life, she had never hated this bright moon so much!
Lin Jian finally caught up with her and pulled her arm to force her to stop. He anxiously said, "Bao, what happened to you?"
"I want to go back now!" Xuebao looked up at Lin Jian, who was a head taller than her. Under the moonlight, the tears on her face were sparkling and translucent, illuminating the determination on her face.
"Tell me why!" Lin Jian became anxious. He wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes and continued to ask.
Xuebao only shed tears, but she was unwilling to answer his question. She broke free from his palm and turned around to leave. Lin Jian was quick to pull her back again. He stared at her and said, "Okay, I will accompany you back!"
No matter what she wanted to do, he would accompany her. Since she did not want to say the reason, he would not ask!
Xuebao bit her lips and looked at Lin Jian with tearful eyes. She turned around and walked forward. He followed closely behind her. She was touched. No matter when, Lin Jian treated her so well!
The two of them had just walked a few steps when the silver-white car stopped beside Xuebao. Lan Ning rolled down the window and said to Xuebao, "Xuebao, get in the car. I will send you back."
Xuebao and Lin Jian were stunned at the same time. If it was in the past, Xuebao would never bother others so much, but today she could not care so much anymore. She opened the car door and got into the car. The car drove away. Lin Jian was the only one left standing in the same place!
Lan Ning looked at Xuebao from time to time in the rearview mirror. He saw Xuebao was anxious and anxious and finally could not help but ask, "Xuebao, what happened? Why did you suddenly want to go back? "
Xuebao had already calmed down a little. She looked at Lan Ning apologetically and said," Senior, can you not ask me this question? Thank you for sending me back. I am really grateful. I will definitely repay you in the future. "
Lan Ning smiled. He cast a sidelong glance at her and said," You don't need to repay me. Wipe the tears off your face. Rest well." Since she didn't want to say it, then he wouldn't ask. It would take them at least five hours to return to Ning City from here.
"Thank you." Xuebao thanked him again. She leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes. She did not know what to say to face such a thoughtful Lan Ning.
Shameful, Yan Junyi's figure appeared in her mind again. She was thinking about where he was now. What was he doing?
Four to five hours later, the car finally stopped safely outside the big iron gate of Yan residence. The two people inside the car looked at the magnificent Yan Family mansion in the night sky.
Xuebao turned around. She had completely calmed down. She said gratefully to Lan Ning, "Senior, thank you for sending me back. I will go in first. Be careful on the way."
Lan Ning looked at the big mansion in front of him. He felt oppressed in his heart. He opened his mouth and said in a daze, "Xuebao, do you live here every day? Have you ever been afraid?"
Xuebao looked at him in surprise. Could it be that he felt that this house looked very scary? Of course she was afraid. She spent almost every day in a tense state of mind. One day, she might really become crazy!
However, she still shook her head. "I'm not afraid." Finishing, Xuebao smiled at him. She pushed open the car door and got out of the car. Then she turned around and waved goodbye to him.
Standing outside the door of the Yan residence, Xuebao's figure seemed so tiny. She quietly looked at the big house in front of her that was emitting a mysterious aura. Under the moonlight, it seemed as if she was in an illusory world.
The house was very quiet. It was almost one o'clock. The servants should be asleep. Old Master Yan and Mrs. Yan should be asleep. On this full moon night, would they be able to sleep?
"Young Madam, you are back?" The guard greeted her politely.
"Yes." She stared at them and asked, "Where is Young Master now?"
Fear flashed across the guard's face. He answered respectfully, "Young Master is in the Northern Courtyard." Then he said, "Young Madam, you better not go there." His words turned into a sigh.
