Chapter 537 "He fell in love with me and treated me well, all because he was infected with the
Jun Wuchi accompanied Ying Li during the day, but at night, Ying Li insisted that he go back to the Temple of the Gods and sleep by himself. Jun Wuchi acted coquettishly several times, but seeing that Ying Li refused to give in, he had no choice but to do as he was told.
Although he was accompanying Ying Li, Ying Li didn't say anything at all. He just sat there quietly in a daze. Sometimes, while he was in a daze, he didn't know what he was thinking about, and his eyes became inexplicably moist.
Jun Wuchi saw it all and tried all kinds of ways to make Ying Li happy, but Ying Li just smiled and said it was okay. After a while, he started to be dazed again, like a puppet who had lost its soul.
Even Fu Sheng felt distressed and worried when seeing this strange state, let alone Jun Wuchi. Over the past few days, Jun Wuchi smiled less and less, and his usually lively personality also became much quieter.
During this time, when Jun Yuwei was busy with his official business, he came a few times.
When Jun Wuchi was alone, Ying Li would still say a few words to Jun Wuchi. But when Jun Yuwei came, Ying Li didn't say a word at all. No matter how Jun Yuwei coaxed her, she would never open her mouth, as if she was holding back some anger.
Seeing this, Jun Yuwei could only sigh helplessly. He was busy with official business and had to deal with something else after not staying for long. Before leaving, he asked Jun Wuchi to take good care of Ying Li.
This kind of days lasted for about seven or eight days, and then someone Fu Sheng didn't expect came to the hall.
——Nalan Ruoxi.
When a maid outside the door announced that Miss Nalan came to visit Ying Li, Fu Sheng thought he had misheard. Even Ying Li was stunned for a moment, and then agreed to let her in.
It has been more than four years since I last saw Nalan Ruoxi. Her appearance has hardly changed. She is wearing a light blue dress, looking both elegant and aloof.
As soon as Nalan Ruoxi came in, she noticed Ying Li's obviously haggard face. She frowned and asked, "Sister, what happened?"
What she asked was not 'what's wrong with you' but 'what happened'. Sometimes a difference of one sentence can bring completely different feelings.
Seeing Nalan Ruoxi, Ying Li's expression changed rarely. She did not answer, but asked softly: "Why are you here?"
"It was the leader." Nalan Ruoxi replied truthfully, "He somehow found out where I live and sent an envoy from the Immortal Alliance to deliver a letter to me, saying that you haven't been feeling well recently and hoped that I could come and see you."
At Jun Wuchi’s third birthday party, Nalan Ruoxi was the only good friend invited by Ying Li, so Jun Yuwei must have remembered her.
Perhaps seeing that Ying Li's mood was not getting better, Jun Yuwei thought of asking Nalan Ruoxi to come over.
Nalan Ruoxi and Ying Li are of similar age and are close friends, so they can talk to each other most openly.
Although Jun Yuwei was busy with official business every day, he always cared about Ying Li's condition. From this point alone, we can see that he was thoughtful. Even Fu Sheng had not thought of the idea of asking Nalan Ruoxi to come and entertain Ying Li.
Ying Li's expression changed when he heard this, and he murmured, "He has thought of everything..."
"The leader said that you have been unwilling to pay attention to him recently, but he doesn't know why. If I can tell him one or two reasons during our conversation, he will be very grateful." Nalan Ruoxi repeated Jun Yuwei's request in a calm tone, and then said: "Although I don't know what happened between you, I can feel that the leader really cares about you."
The mere fact that he could think of letting her accompany Ying Li was enough to defeat many men.
Moreover, she had been homeless in the past few years, so it must have taken a lot of effort for her to find her place in such a short time.
Listening to Nalan Ruoxi's evaluation of Jun Yuwei, Ying Li's face showed bitterness. He smiled as if mocking himself and said, "Yes, of course he cares about me..."
These words seemed to have a deeper meaning, and Fu Sheng couldn't help but look at Ying Li.
Nalan Ruoxi also sensed that Ying Li's tone was not right, and asked, "What do you mean, sister?"
Ying Li did not answer immediately, but turned to Jun Wuchi on the side and said, "Chi'er, go to the inner room and read a book. Your aunt Ruoxi and I have something to talk about."
There were always many maids serving Ying Li in the palace before, but since Jun Wuchi came back this time, there was no one serving Ying Li. She seemed to refuse anyone to approach her, and she drove all the maids out of the door.
If Jun Wuchi hadn't insisted on staying, she would have been the only one in the entire hall.
"Okay." This was the first time that Jun Wuchi had seen his mother talk so much in all these days. He was also very happy about Nalan Ruoxi's arrival. He responded obediently and then went to the inner room.
Fu Sheng did not follow Jun Wuchi in. She wanted to stay where she was and listen to the conversation between Ying Li and Nalan Ruoxi.
She was just worried that Ying Li would send Jun Wuchi back to the Temple of the Gods in order to get him away. If that was the case, she would not be able to just stand by and watch. Fortunately, Ying Li only asked Jun Wuchi to go into the inner room.
Just like last time, although there was no one around, Ying Li still set up a soundproofing array around him.
The moment the formation was formed, Ying Li's emotions, which she had been suppressing for so many days, finally burst out. Her eyes instantly turned red, and she choked up and said to Nalan Ruoxi, "Sister..."
Nalan Ruoxi was frightened by Ying Li's appearance. She immediately stepped forward to support Ying Li's shaky body. She usually had no expression, but her face suddenly became serious. "What happened?"
“Yu Wei…Yu Wei, he, he was infected with the red silk Gu…” Ying Li’s tears kept flowing down, almost forming a line. The emotions that had been suppressed for too long finally burst out, causing her whole body to tremble.
Ying Li spoke while crying, almost out of breath, his body becoming weak due to the emotional breakdown. If it weren't for Nalan Ruoxi supporting him, he would have collapsed to the ground.
"He fell in love with me and treated me well, but it turned out that it was all because he was infected with the red silk Gu... He had a fiancée before he met me, and everything the leader of Tianyan Sect said four years ago was true... His love for me was all fake, and I was just an outsider who stole his love... Ruoxi, what should I do..."
These words contained so much information that not only was Nalan Ruoxi stunned, but even Fu Sheng was stunned.
Red silk Gu?
what is that?
Fu Sheng guessed that Ying Li's mood changes during this period were because he found out about Jun Yuwei's ex-fiancee, but Fu Sheng was completely unaware of the red silk Gu she mentioned.
Nalan Ruoxi first helped Ying Li to the bedside and let her sit down. Although she didn't know the details, she immediately realized the seriousness of the situation from Ying Li's few words.
"Calm down first and tell me slowly." Nalan Ruoxi gently held Ying Li's shoulders, looking worried, "How did you find out? What is the red silk Gu?"
