Monument of Life and Death

   Chapter 774 Killing Intent

   Luo Jiutian was silent for a few seconds, then he gently put Jasmine's hand back on the bed, turned around and walked out of the room.

  Everyone looked at the door, the fool said, "I'll go out and look at him", and then went out the door.

  Xiaolan's gaze returned to Jasmine. Jasmine just knew all this, so it might take some time to digest it.

   Now, it shouldn't be the time to tell her the third bad news.

   As he was thinking so, Jasmine suddenly raised her head and asked, "By the way, is Lao Xu back?"

This……

   Qin Yin looked at Xiaolan helplessly.

   It seems that the third bad news cannot be concealed.

  Xiaolan took a deep breath, walked forward slowly, stood where Luo Jiutian stood not long ago, and told Jasmine what happened just now, word for word.

   Jasmine's body swayed heavily, as if she had been hit hard by something, and she instantly became unsteady.

   "Jasmine," Xiaolan hurriedly reached out to support Jasmine's shoulder, "I...I don't want to see you sad, but I have to tell the truth."

  Jasmine seemed to grab a life-saving straw, and quickly grabbed Xiaolan's hand, "He wants to kill me?"

   "I think..." Xiaolan said, "Killing you may be just an excuse for him. He just used you to threaten me and let me kill him. Of course, the main purpose is to kill me..."

   Jasmine squeezed her lips together, and after a long pause, she said slowly, "Actually... I may have already felt it..."

   Xiaolan was surprised.

"You knew already?"

   "It should be said, I should have thought about it a long time ago," Jasmine's voice became colder, "Xiaolan, you are wrong, he really wants to kill me."

   There was an uproar.

  Xia Hua got closer, "Jasmine, you said you felt Xu Ye's killing intent?"

   "But didn't he watch you grow up?" Qin Yin's voice was getting smaller and smaller, "Isn't he... Isn't he your only relative?..."

   Jasmine smiled, "It's like this for me, but he...may never treat me as a relative."

"But in the end... he didn't kill you," Xiaolan was shocked by the coldness in Jasmine's words, and unconsciously spoke for Xu, "At that time, he could kill you, but he didn't, instead …”

  Jasmine stopped talking, she lowered her head, wondering what she was thinking.

   "I thought of a possibility," said the Taoist priest, "Jasmine, maybe he really came back to kill you."

   Those words stabbed Jasmine deeply.

   Xiaolan thought secretly in her heart, the Taoist priest had better be constructive, otherwise it would only hurt Jasmine even more.

   "But it's not that he wants to kill you," the Taoist priest continued, "it's just... that's his job."

   "Mission?!" The crowd exclaimed in surprise.

   Daoist Master nodded, "Moreover, it was a task that he was very reluctant to carry out, but had to carry out."

   Brother Shuangyan said, "So he chose to die."

  The surroundings were as silent as a cemetery in the middle of the night.

   Jasmine sat stiffly on the bed, only her fingers flicked slightly.

   Xiaolan opened her mouth and looked at the little brother who said these words in surprise.

   Now that I think about it, Xu Ye’s state at that time, his expression, his eyes, his madness…

   He sat beside Jasmine's bed for a long time, staring at Jasmine's face.

   His struggle.

   He didn't want to.

   Xiaolan's words made him suddenly see another possibility.

   If you die, you don't need to kill Jasmine.

   That's why he suddenly became like that...

   Xiaolan's eyes focused on Jasmine.

   Jasmine should be thinking the same as herself at the moment.

What should she do?

  Xia Hua saw that the atmosphere was cold, so she cleared her throat and asked, "Jasmine, when did you feel that Xu also wanted to kill you?"

  Jasmine slowly raised her head, "Before he left."

   "When did he leave?"

  Jasmine was silent for a while, as if recalling a specific time.

   "Is it not long before Heyi?" Baomu asked.

  When Jasmine and Lao Luo returned from Wenjing to Fuxuan, Xu was also dealing with the matter of the ceremony, so he should have been waiting for them in Fuxuan at that time.

  Jasmine actually shook her head, "The night we arrived at Fuxuan, he left."

   Left that night?

   "Did he come back after that?" asked the Taoist priest.

   "No," Jasmine said, "I haven't seen him since then."

   In the future, I will never see you again.

   "You felt that night..." Qin Yin hesitated.

  Jasmine nodded.

   "What's the matter?" Xia Hua sat next to Jasmine's bed and asked.

"That night..." Jasmine began to talk while recalling, "After he settled me and Uncle Luo, he sent someone to tell us about the preparations for He Yi, but he himself didn't know what to do. , I listened, and suddenly I remembered that I had a question to ask him in person, so I went to his room..."

  ***

  The door is closed.

   There was no movement in the door either.

   Jasmine knocked on the door and waited for a few more seconds.

   "Lao Xu?" she called.

   No sound.

"Where did you go?……"

   Jasmine felt in her pocket and found that her phone was not on her body, so she could only go back to her room to get it.

   The door of her room was open, and Jasmine didn't remember whether she locked the door when she left, so she pushed the door and walked in.

  The window is also open.

  The curtains were blown away by the sudden passing wind, Jasmine picked up the phone on the table and put it in her pocket, then walked over to close the window.

   At this moment, the light went out suddenly.

  The surroundings suddenly sank into thick darkness. Jasmine looked around in confusion. Seeing that the lights in the corridor had also gone out, she walked to the window and looked out the window.

   The lights of several buildings nearby are still on, it seems that only here is the power outage?

   Jasmine was about to take out her phone to inquire about the situation, but she suddenly noticed a burst of cold air coming from behind her.

   Someone!

   Jasmine immediately turned around, and at the same time called out her own whip, "Who?!"

   In the darkness, the man had come behind him, and he held Jasmine's hand holding the Spirit Locking Whip with one hand, and covered Jasmine's eyes with the other hand.

   Jasmine was about to launch a counterattack, but Sombra spoke.

   "It's Jasmine..." The man smiled falsely, then withdrew his hand, "Jasmine, don't be afraid."

   By the moonlight, Jasmine could clearly see the face of the shadow.

   Xu also.

   "Old Xu?" Jasmine panted, looked Xu Ye up and down, "What are you going to do?"

  Xu Ye's breath was also not gentle, and there was still some thin sweat on his forehead, "The circuit here is broken, I'm not worried, I'll come up and take a look."

   "What's so good about it?" Jasmine retracted the lock whip and glared at Xu Ye, "You scared me to death, I thought someone would sneak attack."

   "Shouldn't you be downstairs?" Xu also asked, "I saw someone in your room and thought it was someone else..."

   "Who can be in my room?"

  Xu also smiled vaguely.

   "This isn't it, is there you?"
