Chapter 51 Soul Contract
Bai Tian had been away for too long, so long that Xuanyu Pavilion was deserted and all the houses were shrouded in pitch-black darkness. The moonlight was dim, and the room under the swaying shadows of the trees was particularly twisted and thin, just like Westminster's complicated mood at the moment.
"Then let's put it this way. Your marriage with this girl is settled." Uncle Jiu's words seemed to still linger in my ears. In the blink of an eye, everything has changed. The "young wife" that I joked about at that time was finally lost by my own hands. Uncle Jiu's ambivalence and strange thoughts have also become apparent. In the end...
"Master, Master." A deep voice came, and Westminster came back to his senses from his trance.
A handsome man walked into the room respectfully.
"Are there any results?" Westminster gently played with the jade in his hand, as if trying to ease the discomfort in his heart.
The man said nothing, but walked over and whispered something in his ear. "Really?" Westminster's expression became serious. The man said with certainty, "It's absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes."
Westminster stood up and walked back and forth in the room. His dark face seemed to be covered with a layer of light frost, and his complexion turned from white to blue. His usually gentle face was particularly terrifying when it was on fire. His eyes seemed to be spewing fire, making people shudder... After a long time, he gradually returned to normal. He turned around and asked, "Is there a solution?"
"I haven't heard of this yet." The man said hesitantly.
Ximin took a deep breath and said, "Where is she? Bring her back to me."
The man lowered his eyebrows and said, "I'm back, but..."
"Talk." Westminster was a little impatient.
"She still has the same temper and does what she wants. There's nothing I can do about her." The man frowned.
Ximin frowned and sighed, "Tie her up. Since she is so brave and can make such a decision for me, there is no need to pity her."
After a while, Pingguo could be heard cursing angrily: "Ding Yuan, you, you slave, don't you want to live? If you dare to do this to me, I will leave on my own."
Strangely enough, Ding Yuan, who usually likes to take action, was unusually quiet today. He did not argue with Apple and just tied her up and dragged her to Westminster's house.
"Cousin, cousin, why are you still using this kind of person? Why don't you let him go?" Pingguo saw Ximin from a distance and started to act like a spoiled child. Her phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and her eyes were full of arrogance and arrogance. Her red lips were charming, but they raised a hint of provocation. She was thinking about letting Ximin deal with Ding Yuan and vent her anger.
"What did you call him?" Looking at this scene, Westminster's mood was like a flood that filled the riverbed and suddenly broke through the embankment. He couldn't help but want to roar, and anger filled his chest at this moment.
Apple was stunned for a moment, then looked at the man's face, which was similar to that of her cousin, and said softly, "Ding Yuan, cousin, what's wrong with you?"
Ximin said coldly: "Who told you that he is Ding Yuan?"
Apple felt that the atmosphere today was a little strange, and she didn't dare to make any more noise for a moment. She just looked at Ximin's face quietly, and asked in confusion: "Isn't he Ding Yuan?"
"Why, haven't you thought of saying anything yet? What decision have you made for me?" Westminster glared at her angrily. With that one decision, Apple's last line of defense began to crumble.
"I, cousin, I, I just." Apple's eyes began to turn red.
"Are you pretending to be pitiful again? I don't think you will cry until you see the coffin. How brave are you to make the decision for me?" Westminster stared at Apple's eyes. There was no warmth in his eyes, as if he was ready to cut her into pieces at any time.
A string of tears silently flowed down Pingguo's sad face. She bit her red lips and said bitterly, "I didn't make the decision for you. I made the decision for myself and made the choices in life. I never regret it, and I will never regret it."
"Your decision? What is your decision? Leaving Bai Tian in another world and letting him fend for himself is your decision? Changing the marriage between Bai Tian and me into a soul contract is your decision? What makes you think you can make such a decision for me?" At this moment, Westminster's eyes were bloodshot like a beast that had landed and lost all his rationality. There was a thin red at the corners of his eyes, and his cold, ink-black eyes were filled with layers of glow.
"Isn't it enough that I love you?" Apple shouted angrily with tears streaming down her face.
Ximin sneered: "You don't even know how cheap your love is. I'm telling you clearly today that I don't love you and I never will." After saying that, he shouted: "Come on, bring him up."
The housekeeper Ding Yuan was brought up. His body was trembling slightly, and there was a trace of blood on his face. His pure white shirt was slightly wet, and a thin layer of sweat seeped through the shirt. At this time, he was kneeling on the ground in a miserable state. As soon as he saw the apple with a panicked look, he was like grabbing a life-saving straw and begging for mercy: "Miss, help me."
Apple's face turned pale with fear. She swallowed nervously, looked at the man beside Ximin and then at Ding Yuan who was kneeling on the ground, and asked nervously, "You, why are you here? Why do you look so much alike?"
Hearing this, Ding Yuan also raised his head and looked at the man in front of him. He froze for a moment. What did he mean by "similar"? This man looked exactly like him.
"Who looks like you? Are you worthy of having the same face as me?" The man next to Ximin walked over and kicked Ding Yuan, causing him to scream.
Although she usually didn't like Ding Yuan very much, she felt a little uncomfortable when she saw a stranger insulting him like this. After all, he was her bedmate, so she couldn't help but beg, "Cousin, why is Ding Yuan here?"
"Master, it was the young lady's instructions that made me make such a mistake." Ding Yuan lowered his head, not daring to look Apple in the eye.
Apple was stunned: "Are you crazy? What does this have to do with me?"
Ding Yuan looked at Ximin's face nervously: "Master, it was the young lady who had been seducing me. She said that I looked a bit like you. Since I couldn't get you, then I was by her side to make up for the regret. I was willing to be with the young lady, but she kept forcing me to kill Yang Baitian in the Empty Coffin Temple. Later, she tried to find Uncle Jiu..."
Apple felt humiliated beyond measure, her face burning with anger. She stared blankly at Ding Yuan, who was kneeling on the ground, and could no longer hear what he was saying. Seeing Ximin had no reaction, Ding Yuan swore anxiously, "If I tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning. Just last night, she came to see me and stayed at my place."
After hearing these words, Apple felt dizzy and almost fainted.
