Xu Xian smiled bitterly while Yang Jian snorted coldly. The two of them separated and returned to the ground.
Xu Xian saw that the Third Holy Mother had already put on her clothes. She was standing in the air with her hands clasped together. The embroidered ribbon behind her was fluttering in the wind. She was still so dignified and gorgeous.
However, the scene just now appeared in his mind. Comparing the two, there seemed to be a different kind of temptation.
However, when he saw the tears in the corner of her eyes and her sad expression, he quickly restrained his thoughts and secretly said, "I have sinned."
"Xu Hanwen, were you also deceived by the Demonic Fox?" The Third Holy Mother first asked Xu Xian with an unusually serious expression.
Xu Xian spread out his hands and said, "Yes, she invited me here to drink. After getting drunk, she fell asleep. When I woke up, it was already like this!"
After saying this, he felt powerless. After all, no matter what, he had taken advantage of her. It was not that easy to pretend to be innocent!
Sure enough, Yang Jian's expression became colder. The brilliance of the third eye on his forehead began to condense again.
The Third Holy Mother frowned and closed her eyes. Her beautiful face showed a painful expression. After a while, she calmed down and opened her eyes. She said to Yang Jian, "Second brother, he was only used by Hu Xinyue. Please let him go!"
After hearing this, Yang Jian and Xu Xian were both surprised.
"Goddess, please understand. Xu Xian believed the Demonic Fox and blasphemed you. Now, it is too late for regrets.
I will definitely capture Hu Xinyue and let you deal with her. "
Xu Xian said tactfully. He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. This Third Saint Mother was unexpectedly reasonable. However, no matter what, she was still an experienced and knowledgeable goddess. Other than that momentary loss of composure when she woke up, she still had the demeanor of a god. She was not like a mortal woman who cried, threw a tantrum, and threatened to hang herself. If that happened, he would have a headache.
"Yes." The Third Holy Mother's eyes drifted as she replied, "Please don't mention this to anyone else!"
"Of course, of course!"
Xu Xian hastily said. In this way, he had finally escaped a calamity. He admired this Third Holy Mother quite a bit. This kind of sister must be obtained.
The Third Holy Mother bowed deeply toward Yang Jian and said, "Second Brother, Little Sister has met with this calamity. I do not have the face to live in this world and be laughed at by others. I bid you farewell!" She took out a sword from somewhere and placed it on her neck. Then she fiercely cut it.
Xu Xian's jaw dropped. What was this? He didn't cry or make a fuss, but directly hung himself?
It can't be, right? To think that I praised you just now!
Before the cold blade could touch her delicate neck, it was grabbed tightly by Xu Xian.
The Third Holy Mother opened her eyes and said to Xu Xian, "Why did you stop me?" Her eyes were filled with coldness.
Xu Xian squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying and said, "God, if you want to kill me, just kill me!" If she really died here, it would be impossible for Yang Jian to let him go. He was afraid that Yang Jian would immediately fight with him with his life.
Moreover, the Jade Lake wouldn't ignore the death of a goddess. The careless Queen Mother of the West would probably take her life herself!
"Let go of me!" The Third Holy Mother urged the sword with all her strength, but the blade in Xu Xian's hand didn't move at all.
Xu Xian shook his head and said, "I won't let go even if I have to die!"
"Xu Xian, let go of me!"
Xu Xian turned around in surprise because the one who said this was not the Third Holy Mother, but Yang Jian, who had been looking on coldly, said coldly, "If she wants to die, let her die!"
The Third Holy Mother froze and looked at Yang Jian in disbelief. "Second Brother!?"
Xu Xian took the chance to grab the sword and stepped aside, saying, "Brother Yang, you have gone too far!"
However, Yang Jian didn't even look at him. Well, the "adulterer" had no right to say anything.
The Third Holy Mother said sadly, "OK!"
However, she took out a sword from nowhere. When Xu Xian was about to step forward, he saw a black shadow flash by. Yang Jian hit the Third Holy Mother's hand with a knifehand. The sword fell, and the Third Holy Mother's hand became red and swollen.
Yang Jian stared at the Third Holy Mother and said, "Since when did you have the right to make decisions here?"
After that, he no longer paid any attention to her. He turned to Xu Xian and said, "Xu Xian, give me an explanation!" Obviously he did not listen to the Third Holy Mother and had no intention of letting him go.
Xu Xian immediately understood that this was probably the so-called "Elder Brother is like a father". In this era, the so-called brother-sister relationship was not as equal and harmonious as it was in the later generations.
Especially in the case of no parents or elders, the elder brother would take care of everything for the younger sister, including marriage, and had the absolute right to speak.
Although Yang Jian was a detached immortal, he was just an ancient immortal. Some of his thoughts were still controlled by the whole era.
Although the Third Holy Mother was a goddess with great authority in the eyes of mortals, in the eyes of Yang Jian, she was his younger sister and had to obey his will.
Even with him, the "adulterer", he would ask for an explanation from him. On the contrary, he couldn't communicate with the Third Holy Mother on an equal footing.
In short, who asked for your opinion? Even if you want to die, you have to get my permission!
This was not just the so-called feudal thinking, but because in this era, women had no ability to survive independently. The father and brother played the role of the absolute protector, so that women didn't have to worry about their lives and would not be hurt by the outside world.
If the elder brother couldn't do this, even a fierce man like Zhong Xu would inevitably appear weak in front of his younger sister. This was also the balance of rights and obligations in ancient times.
Xu Xian had a headache. He couldn't think of how to explain to Yang Jian. He had promised to catch Hu Xinyue and bring her back for questioning, but this obviously couldn't satisfy Yang Jian.
Should he break one of his arms or something? Not to mention that Yang Jian was not the leader of the underworld, and he was not willing to do it!
Or he could say sincerely, "I will take responsibility!"
People couldn't be so shameless to this extent!
Ask yourself, "You are not the hero of a novel, can you take all the advantages?"
If he said so, he was afraid that the three pointed, double-edged sword would immediately cut him!
But before Xu Xian could think of a suitable answer, the Third Holy Mother flew into a rage, "Yang Jian, this is my business, it has nothing to do with you. Go back to your temple!"
After experiencing such bad luck, not only did she not get a word of comfort, but she was treated so coldly. Even she couldn't help but lose her temper.
"Oh?"
Yang Jian narrowed his eyes dangerously, "I warned you not to leave Mount Hua without permission, but you secretly went down the mountain to play. When you came to the capital, not only did you not come to see me, but you also fooled around with the Demonic Fox, causing today's trouble. Now you still have the face to talk!"
He didn't show his joy or anger, only those close to him knew that it was a manifestation of his anger. He didn't expect that the Third Holy Mother, who had always been obedient, would dare to disobey him in front of others.
Xu Xian whispered, "Hey, hey, you are angry that she didn't come to see you!" Being glared at by Yang Jian, he quickly stopped talking and continued to watch.
The Third Holy Mother's momentum weakened, but she suddenly raised her voice, "Now you are happy, right?
Let me tell you, I am the Fairy of Jade Pool, a righteous god of the Heavenly Court. I can go wherever I want, it's none of your business! "
She was already a god, not the original little girl, and no longer needed anyone to protect her. Yang Jian's guardianship could only make her feel oppressed, and where there was oppression, there would be resistance.
The seed of resistance that had been buried in her heart for a long time finally broke out today, when she was almost determined to die.
Xu Xian sighed, "If you are really so righteous, why do you need to use Jade Pool and the Heavenly Court to boost your courage?" Then, he immediately shut up when the Third Holy Mother looked at him.
Xu Xian saw that Yang Jian's face was livid, and it was even uglier than when he chased him just now!
He was ready to be interrogated, but he didn't expect that the brother and sister would fight first, and they seemed to hate each other more than he hated Hu Xinyue.
However, Xu Xian didn't think that they really hated each other, but people's hearts were like this, and it was easy to be hurt by people close to them.
He only felt that this scene was like a rebellious adolescent girl quarreling with her parents, gritting her teeth and trying to do something to make them angry.
In the original story, the reason why she got together with Liu Yanchang, other than the irrational love at first sight, was it because of this reverse psychology?
Yang Jian was so angry that he laughed, "I have nothing to say to you. When you go back this time, stay on Mount Hua and reflect on yourself!"
Xu Xian hurriedly advised, "Don't!
You are brother and sister! "The plan to split the mountain to save the mother died before it started, and this time, no one was going to save her!
Once again, he felt the strong inertia of the river of fate. Even without Liu Yanchang's existence, she still couldn't escape the fate of being suppressed under Mount Hua.
In other words, this story had nothing to do with Liu Yanchang.
And now he also understood that being suppressed under Mount Hua was a miserable thing, but it was completely different from being suppressed by Monkey Sun in the Journey to the West. Monkey Sun really suppressed her, and this could only be regarded as a closed door.
On the other hand, it was not a big deal for immortals and monsters to be locked up for eight to ten years, not to mention that the Third Goddess was the goddess of Huayue. She couldn't just leave her post without permission, which was equivalent to changing her office location.
And according to Xiaoqian's experience, it was best to go to the belly of the mountain to absorb the spiritual power of the earth veins for cultivation.
This level of punishment could only be regarded as' go back to your room '. It was like helpless parents had to lock their rebellious daughter at home to prevent the seduction of the bad boy outside.
It was not heartless and vicious, it was simply a mess of gentleness.
Then, the 'splitting the mountain to save the mother' was even more of a joke. Could any random naughty child defeat Yang Jian after two years of cultivation?
And some movie adaptations were even weirder. They even learned spells from Sun Wukong. Did you not see how the Great Sage Sun was chased by Brother Yang Ku until there was no way out?
Yang Jian and the Third Goddess turned to look at Xu Xian at the same time. They were stunned for a moment, as if wondering what this guy was doing here.
Then they immediately came to the conclusion that these things were not caused by him and the Demonic Fox.
Now, he even dared to pretend to be a Good Samaritan here!
Seeing their unfriendly expressions, Xu Xian regretted it very much. He should have been an onlooker instead of getting involved blindly. It was too difficult to be a good person!
Yang Jian grabbed Xu Xian's collar. "Where's the explanation I want?" The third eye on his forehead kept flashing.
"I'll give you whatever explanation you want!" Xu Xian raised his hands. If you want to kill me or torture me, do as you please!
Yang Jian said solemnly, "I want you to marry her!"
Xu Xian was dumbfounded, and his mind was a mess!
What?
There's really such a good thing?
Did I hear it wrong? Although I'm not tempted at all!
Could it be that I've been mistaken about my position? Actually, I'm protected by a halo?
