Ji Yunxi turned around, thinking that as long as she didn't look at Feng Xingzhi, she could forcibly suppress the uneasiness in her heart.
Gu An had lived for a long time, and Qinshe Valley had always been a place for ordinary people. So he immediately saw the unhappiness in Ji Yunxi's eyes, which was just like a jealous young couple.
The atmosphere between the two was obviously off.
Gu An felt a bit at a loss. One was the reincarnation of his benefactor, and the other was not familiar to him. For a moment, he didn't know how to console them.
Feng Xingzhi looked at Ji Yunxi. He had a premonition that if he couldn't explain things clearly, a shadow would soon fall over their relationship.
He stepped forward and reached out his hand. Unexpectedly, Ji Yunxi immediately said, "Azhi, go ahead."
Hearing this, Gu An thought that as long as Ji Yunxi didn't mind, what Feng Xingzhi was going to do had nothing to do with him. So he just stood aside silently.
Feng Xingzhi took a deep breath and grabbed Ji Yunxi's hand. "Xixi, wait for me to come back and I'll explain it to you."
Ji Yunxi gave a faint smile. "Okay, then be careful."
Feng Xingzhi let out a sigh of relief. He thought she wasn't that unhappy anymore. Then he turned around and left, not seeing Ji Yunxi's suddenly cold face.
After he left, Qing Xuan carefully stepped forward and whispered, "Master, did something happen between Feng Xingzhi and Jiang Yaoji before?"
"I don't know either." Ji Yunxi shook her head faintly. "Let's go. We'll go back first."
As Ji Yunxi's contract spiritual beast, Qing Xuan could naturally feel her emotions. It was an indescribable feeling, but more of it was anger.
Qing Xuan couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts. Did Feng Xingzhi and Jiang Yaoji have an unusual relationship before?
If so, it was no wonder that Jiang Yaoji wanted to kill them all but couldn't bring herself to harm Feng Xingzhi.
He was a bit annoyed. "Could it be that he changed his heart after remembering his past with Jiang Yaoji?!"
Li Jiuge had been standing aside. Naturally, she had also seen the change in her friend just now. She was a bit worried at first. But after all, Feng Xingzhi was her cousin. Hearing what Qing Xuan said, she still stood up to defend him. "What are you talking nonsense about!"
Ji Yunyi snorted and chimed in. "We still have to be on guard."
"You!" Li Jiuge was extremely angry. "What are you adding fuel to the fire for! Can't you see how much my cousin cares about Xixi?"
Seeing that the three of them were about to quarrel, Ji Yunxi was extremely upset. She couldn't bear it anymore and slapped the table. "Stop arguing!"
The others were startled and looked at each other in dismay.
Gu An quickly stepped forward to smooth things over. "Let's go. We'll leave first."
Gu Yiping had no intention of getting involved in these things. After seeing that Gu Feifei was okay and calming down, he left on his own initiative. "I'll go and check the valley entrance too."
Gu An told him, "Be careful in everything. Don't go forward rashly. That crazy woman Jiang Yaoji is here. It's very dangerous."
"Yes, foster father."
After everyone left, Gu An walked into the room. Seeing the dejected Ji Yunxi, he patted her on the shoulder. "Don't worry. He shouldn't be that kind of person. You know him well, don't you?"
Ji Yunxi also knew in her heart that Feng Xingzhi was not the kind of person who would act recklessly. But how could she explain that she was extremely jealous of that unique memory of Feng Xingzhi and Jiang Yaoji?
Feng Xingzhi's determined tone had always been like a thorn in her heart. It was an eyesore to look at and it hurt when touched.
"Valley Master, if you really mind, just ask him to explain clearly later."
"I know. I'm not doubting him. I just..."
Ji Yunxi wanted to say something for a long time, but in the end, she closed her mouth helplessly. After all, there were some things that she couldn't say directly. She could only nod and say nothing.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Gu An had an idea. "I'll take you to see the defense. Seeing is believing."
Since it was just as well to think too much staying here, Ji Yunxi might as well go with Gu An. She stood up. "Okay, then let's go."
The three who had just been scolded saw this and quickly followed behind Ji Yunxi.
After all, Qinshe Valley was a holy land for weapons. Its defense was extremely delicate. Along the way, Li Jiuge was like opening her eyes for the first time. She exclaimed, "If we took these back and placed them in the border city, wouldn't we be invincible in battles?!"
Seeing Li Jiuge's surprised attitude, Gu An was also very happy. "Your Highness, you're overpraising us. But the weapons in our Qinshe Valley are indeed the best in the world!"
He was extremely proud and pulled Li Jiuge to explain the principle of each defensive weapon to her.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Ji Yunyi walked up to Ji Yunxi. "Yunxi, did you start studying weapons when you were Gu Yunxi?"
She finally showed a smile. Standing on a high place and looking around, this place was extremely familiar to her, but now everything had changed. For a moment, she was filled with mixed emotions.
Qinshe Valley held many wonderful memories for her, but many of them were also about Feng Xingzhi.
In that lifetime, she had met Feng Xingzhi by chance outside the valley, and then that person had always clung to her and refused to leave.
Thinking about it now, according to their situation at that time, Feng Xingzhi must have recognized her, which was why he had refused to leave.
Ji Yunxi smiled helplessly. Suddenly, she thought that her sentimental self just now was a bit ridiculous. She should listen to his explanation.
Finally, she let out a sigh of relief, and her expression became much softer.
Ji Yunyi was extremely curious about the story of Gu Yunxi back then. He whispered, "Do you think Gu An has guessed who you are?"
Ji Yunxi nodded. "He probably already knew. Giving me the jade token last time was like handing over the position of Valley Master to me. So he should already know."
"Then he can really hold it in. If it were me, I'd be in tears."
Ji Yunxi shook her head helplessly. "Second brother, if Gu An were like you, wouldn't we be shocked?"
She turned her head and happened to see Gu An explaining the defense to Li Jiuge. She then thought of the peaceful life she and Feng Xingzhi had lived in the valley in that lifetime.
They had both regarded Qinshe Valley as a paradise and had not participated in the outside world's troubles. However, in the end, the two of them had not had a good ending. She had died on their wedding day.
She only remembered that on the wedding night, she had been waiting for the groom in the bridal chamber. However, instead of waiting for that person, she had waited for an assassin. In the end, she had been unable to fight back and had died in the opponent's hands.
When Feng Xingzhi pushed the door open and came in, Ji Yunxi still had a breath left. She had watched her lover crawl to her side in a hurry with trembling hands. He had wanted to touch her but was afraid of hurting her.
The blood seemed to be constantly draining from her body. At that time, Ji Yunxi seemed to have a lot to say, but she couldn't say a single word. She could only watch Feng Xingzhi's heart - rending despair, and then slowly sink into darkness, completely leaving that lifetime and completely forgetting her lover.
An indescribable sadness welled up. She suddenly grabbed her chest tightly.
