Chapter 28: Cruel Truth

The rooms of the Red Devil Altar are all bluestone cold walls, which lack sunlight all day long. One hand touches it as if it had touched the ice.

Other than that, the rest of the layout is no different from the general room.

"What are you talking about?" Ruiyun's irritable voice almost made the whole room tremble a few times.

Gan Xin frowned and looked at the angry Ruiyun Zhenren. After all, he was a guest of the Red Devil Altar, or he personally invited him back. Naturally, he could not be neglected. Even if he was angry here, he could not complain and had to become the target of his anger.

The python's eyes wrapped around his body were a little ready to move, but it only spit out a few snake letters. Without the owner's orders, it did not dare to act rashly.

"Three times... I can't take Chen Rufeng's life three times! At the beginning, I really mistakenly believed in your Red Devil Altar and overestimated your strength!" Ruiyun slapped the table and scolded angrily, staring at Gan Xin, as if it was all his fault. "In order to help you, I turned against other hermits, and now I still want to become a wanted criminal. You can't even kill a single person at the altar of the Red Devil?"

Gan Xin smiled bitterly and said, "Ruiyun Zhenren, that person is not an ordinary person. He is the master of the Tianfeng Gang..."

"I don't care if he is the emperor!" Rui Yun said angrily. It seemed that reason had also been hit by anger and began to speak unscrupulously without scruples.

"Since you are so incompetent, I have to take Chen Rufeng's life and avenge my apprentice!" Ruiyun waved his sleeves and looked at the cold corridor outside the door. The torch was burning brightly, splashing with fire chips.

"Real people must not be so impulsive!" Gan Xin repeatedly persuaded him, "Now Chen Rufeng's strength has taken another great leap. It is not enough for ordinary people to kill him, and..."

Ruiyun waved his hand resolutely and said, "Don't talk nonsense! You are just afraid that I will reveal the secret of your Red Devil Altar to the outside world!"

Gan Xin can no longer keep that polite smile and his face is cold. "Ruiyun knows in his heart that now you are a wanted criminal, and the ghost house is also looking for you overwhelmingly. Even if you really have the ability to kill Chen Rufeng, do you think you have the fate to find him? Not only the ghost house, but also the whole world is paying attention to your traces. As long as you have a slight abnormal movement, you will definitely be besieged by people all over the world!"

After listening to this, Ruiyun's body was shocked and he woke up a little. His eyes were still burning, his chest was violently undulating, and his cavity was full of anger.

"Listen to me, Ruiyun Zhenren." Gan Xin put one hand on Ruiyun's shoulder, "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Now Chen Rufeng is too important to our Red Devil Altar, and we can't abolish him for the time being. Believe me, when we come back and rise again, you will be able to restore the auspicious view, and then you will have enough strength to avenge Chen Rufeng. Now the enemy is strong and I am weak. I really can't be in a hurry for a moment!"

Gan Xin said so, and Ruiyun's raised shoulders relaxed, and his face was still indignant. He bit his teeth and called Chen Rufeng's name wordfully. He couldn't wait to tear the name into ten pieces.

Looking at Ruiyun, who was gradually calming down, Ganxin also felt a little relieved, as if he had just appeased a tiger that broke out of the cage and bit people everywhere.

Chang'an, wind and snow.

Pedestrians have scrambled to leave the street and find a shelter with roofs. Soon, the street became sparse and calm, and Chen Rufeng's pace became smooth, except for a little wind and snow.

For some reason, his footsteps seemed to have deliberately slowed down, as if he wanted to delay a little more time for himself.

However, it will always be there.

Outside the gate of the prime minister's mansion, the people guarding the door were wrapped in thick clothes and trembling.

Finally, it came back here.

Snow all over the ground, Chen Rufeng's footsteps stepped through a few snow piles, spewed cold air from his mouth, and approached the gate.

When he was about to explain his intention to the gatekeeper, the door opened and someone came out of it.

When the man's eyes met, both of them were slightly stunned, but the man who came out of the door quickly recovered from surprise and smiled at Chen Rufeng.

"I knew you would come." Jiang Shengtian walked to Chen Rufeng, and Chen Rufeng's face was the same as the sky, full of frost and snow.

"You should be satisfied that I have helped you with such a big favor, right?" Chen Rufeng said with a little disgust, but still couldn't alleviate Jiang Shengtian's smile.

Jiang Shengtian stretched out a finger and waved it, "This is not to help me, you have to do this. Because you will always be a good person, and I, Jiang Shengtian," Jiang Shengtian put his hand on his chest again, as if to introduce himself. "I am a traitor and evil person. How can a good man like you help me? Ha ha..."

Listening to Jiang Shengtian's profound words, Chen Rufeng snorted and said coldly, "I'm not here today."

"Oh?" Jiang Shengtian raised his eyebrows and then seemed to wake up to something. He suddenly looked up and the smile was erased.

A cold wind passed, and Jiang Shengtian's expression became very deep. His eyes have been staring at Chen Rufeng, and he can see the faint guilt in his heart.

"Are you here to make it clear to her?"

"Yes. After saying that, I went back to Tianfeng to help. Chen Rufeng replied lightly,

Jiang Shengtian looked at his face for a long time, as if he was thinking about something. Unconsciously, his heart became a little complicated.

"Go in." Jiang Shengtian moved his head and motioned.

Chen Rufeng glanced at him, said nothing more, and walked into the prime minister's mansion.

Since it was Jiang Shengtian who opened his mouth, the gatekeepers had no intention of intercepting, so they let Chen Rufeng in.

Looking at Chen Rufeng's back, Jiang Shengtian's mouth was actually a vague smile, full of expectation and longing.

The east corridor is so familiar. The small pool pavilion next to it has nothing but flying snowflakes at this moment.

I passed by, but my mood was not as good as that of that day. It always seemed that something was missing.

Or, something has changed.

A sound of the piano came curling, borrowing snow to send thoughts and playing leisurely. The flying snow dances with it, and the cold wind accompanies it.

As always, there is mourning and lingering, as if there are indescible thoughts and indescible feelings. Through this sound of the piano, it spreads between heaven and earth and let it vent to its heart's content.

Chen Rufeng had to stop. I don't know whether he was deeply attracted by the sound of the piano or his feet.

Is it right or wrong for him to go on like this?

If there is love snow, it is ruthless after all.

Following the sound of the piano, he walked tremblingly.

When the dreamer suddenly comes and appears in front of you, can your heart remain as calm as ever? The bitter hope all the time has finally become a reality of sight. It seems that there is a deep reward at this moment.

No one thought that after this wonderful dream, it will be a nightmare that can never be climbed out!

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, as if the piano suddenly broke the string.

Sister Ping was going to close the door to cover the wind and snow, but she was stunned after closing half of the door.

She didn't believe that this person would appear here, so suddenly.

Li Yinru's hands on the piano trembled, not because of the cold. But because of the person who appeared in front of her, the person she had been dreaming of meeting for these days.

The wind and snow floated by, and Chen Rufeng's expression became a little blurred. Li Yinru didn't see it clearly. She just rushed out desperately, rushed out of the howling wind and snow, crashed into the man's arms, and sobbed fiercely.

There are no words to express. She can only hold him as tightly as she can. For the rest of her life, even if she is facing the cold snow against the wind and frost.

No regrets, as long as you come back.

Her face, attached to Chen Rufeng's clothes, seemed to be enough to carry her tears in his arms.

But Chen Rufeng's hand did not move and did not take the initiative to hold her waist.

"You are finally back. I know that you won't leave me alone." Li Yinru closed her eyes like a snuggled child. Bai Xue gently embellished her hair. Chen Rufeng lowered his head, looked at her weak figure, and squeezed his lips tightly.

Why is your arms no longer warm?

Chen Rufeng did not say anything and stood there like an ice sculpture. Li Yinru raised her head in a little astonishment and looked at him puzzledly.

"What's wrong? Is there something going on?

With incomparable courage, Chen Rufeng seemed to break through thousands of mountains before saying these three words: "I'm sorry."

Li Yinru was suddenly shocked, as if she realized something was wrong, but the strong feeling in her heart told her that she vaguely guessed that the intention behind Chen Rufeng said these three words would not be true.

She shook her head, and her hands were still wrapped around Chen Rufeng's waist, but her face left his chest a few inches, and tears in her eyes were about to come out of her eyes.

"What the hell happened?" Li Yinru's voice trembled.

Finally, tears slipped through her Shengxue's skin and flowed into her neck, pitiful.

"Don't say sorry, okay? I don't blame you for being late... Just come back. You said that you will come to take me away after you have some achievements, right? You came here today to take me away, didn't you? Isn't that right? Li Yinru shook Chen Rufeng's body and kept asking him.

Chen Rufeng took a heavy breath and finally looked at her, slowly put her hands down from his waist and held her wrist. "There are many things that have changed."

has changed.

My heart has changed.

As if countless stones hit her head in turn, Li Yinru staggered back and covered her forehead. There was a feeling of spinning. If Chen Rufeng hadn't helped her, I'm afraid she would have fallen to the ground.

"Actually, there were a lot of things at the beginning, but I did it without thinking clearly. We won't understand that this is the so-called growth until we have some experience. Chen Rufeng continued to say that his words were like an ice cone falling from the vast sky, piercing into Li Yinru's heart.

Li Yinru looked at him sadly and kept shaking her head, as if she didn't want to believe that it was just a dream for him to come back. As long as she fainted and woke up, Chen Rufeng did not say such a thing to her.

But the external and internal freezing is real.

"Why..." Li Yinru began to gasp. Seeing this, Sister Ping quickly twisted her fat body out of the wind and snow and hugged her from behind. Chen Rufeng then let go of her hand and took a step back.

Looking at Li Yinru, who is now miserable, Chen Rufeng felt that his heart also had cracks, making a click sound. But he knows that none of this can be changed.

"Why?" Her pale lips asked again and again, as if she had to use her strength every time she said a word.

Chen Rufeng lowered his head in shame and couldn't even shake his head.

"What you said... is a complete lie!"

"Why did you lie to me!!!"

The falling snow stopped for a moment, and then slowly fell again.

The sad questioning sound, like an iron whip, whipped Chen Rufeng's heart fiercely and punished him fiercely.
