Chapter 67 Seeking Revenge

Chapter 67 Seeking Revenge

On the second and third days, Shen Yi still hadn't come back. Jiang Yuyan suddenly missed him and even accidentally wrote the word Shen Yi on the scroll recording the medical records.

Perhaps it was because he had given her a place to stay when he was at his lowest point;

Or maybe it was because of his generous and attentive teaching and the gentleness he showed unintentionally;

Or maybe it was because he was so mature, she always felt safe and relaxed around him, even forgetting her facial injuries...

In short, she missed him very much.

For the first time, Jiang Yuyan felt that this feeling was just like what was described in the storybooks, sweet and bitter.

The sweet thing is meeting such a good person, the bitter thing is that we met him too late.

Jiang Yuyan was just in a daze when an uninvited guest came to Jimin Hall.

I saw a handsome and resolute man standing at the door holding a sword, his face stern and unfriendly, as if he was here to seek revenge.

Jiang Yuyan was confused and asked, "Sir...what can you do for me?"

The man moved his ears. It was the woman's voice. He remembered that the woman called the servant beside her Ah Fu, and he also remembered that the servant called her Cang Lan. After asking around in the town for two days, he finally found her.

He didn't say a word, but looked Jiang Yuyan up and down with a look of disgust.

Then, the sword in his hand was placed on Jiang Yuyan's neck at lightning speed.

"Hey, what are you doing! Let her go!" Shen Fu jumped up and asked in panic.

Although he had some kung fu skills, the man was introverted and had an extraordinary demeanor. In addition, there was a height difference between them, so he had no confidence of beating him and could only stare anxiously.

"It was you who saved me on the mountain that day?"

The man spoke coldly, without any hint of gratitude in his voice.

Jiang Yuyan looked at the figure and recognized that the person was the half-dead wounded man on the mountain. Now he had changed his clothes and cleaned up his face. Looking closely, he looked like a decent person. But his face was too smelly.

The sword was still on her neck, and Jiang Yuyan shrank back at the stimulation of the cold blade. "Hey, I saved you after all, is this how you treat your savior?"

The man snorted, "I didn't ask you to save me!"

Jiang Yuyan never thought she would meet such an unreasonable person. "If it weren't for me, you would have died in the mountains!"

"You got close to me and touched me..." The man frowned, his face gloomy, "Except for my wife, anyone else who touches me deserves death..."

"...I was trying to treat your injuries!" Jiang Yuyan hastily explained. This guy is really a devil! He saved someone with good intentions but ended up killing himself. "I'm just a doctor. I don't care about men or women, I only care about the wounded. I didn't mean to take advantage of you!"

The man's sword moved half an inch closer, causing his skin to sting and red blood to seep out from the side of his neck.

It's true! Jiang Yuyan was so frightened that her soul flew away.

"You saved me, and I wanted to spare your life, but you are too ugly to be my wife!" The man seemed to be thinking about how to deal with this matter.

Jiang Yuyan gritted her teeth in hatred and quickly calculated in her mind that the only way now was to fight with all her might!

She gently stroked her waist, using her inner strength to drive Meng Ling, and her deep eyes met the man's gaze.

The man seemed to hear a ringing sound, and the next second he was bewitched by that look.

His many years of experience in the martial arts world made him alert. He was distracted for just a moment and Jiang Yuyan had already left the sword and stood far to the side, looking at him vigilantly.

Unexpectedly, her first actual combat use of Meng Ling was successful. However, her soul-stealing technique was not yet perfected, and the opponent's internal strength was too strong, so she could only control the opponent for a moment.

"The Lingshu clan's most precious treasure, the Dream Bell?" The man looked sharply at Jiang Yuyan's waist.

"You have good vision!" Shen Fu said carelessly, "We are members of the Shen family. If you dare to touch us, the Lingshu clan will not let you go!"

The man sneered, "If I kill you two today, who will know?"

Shen Fu was shocked, and secretly took out the poison from his sleeve and hid it in his palm, waiting for a moment to fight. But the man was sharp-eyed, and with a sword in hand, the porcelain bottle fell to the ground.

Shen Fu almost wanted to cry, this man's martial arts skills were even higher than he had imagined.

Jiang Yuyan pinched her palms to remain calm, "Brother, I didn't think of any reward when I saved you that day. I accidentally touched... your body... I really had no choice. You and I don't know each other, so I won't tell anyone. This way, no one else will know and it won't damage your reputation. Can you let me go?"

"Heh." The man's mouth curved up, "You're quite flexible and have a sharp tongue!"

The man sheathed his sword and said, "I can let you go, but I'm afraid I'll have to bother you for a few days!"

After saying that, he sat down with his horse and sword in his hands.

At this moment, Jiang Yuyan realized that the man's face was still very pale, so she asked tentatively: "How about... I take your pulse again? Check your injuries?"

"Look!" The man said briefly, stretched out a wrist and placed a thin handkerchief on it.

“…………”

Jiang Yuyan took his pulse and found it was neither fast nor slow, just a little weak.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Your poison should be fine, but you've lost too much blood. You need to recuperate for a while, otherwise your foundation will be damaged."

She took out gauze and wound medicine from the medicine cabinet and said, "Nuo, change the dressing on your wound yourself!"

The man forced a smile, but for some reason Jiang Yuyan found it creepy.

"The Lingshu clan's detoxification pills are really useful! They can even cure the Qianji poison of the Youlian Palace!"

The man picked up the golden medicine and walked towards the inner courtyard. "Remember, three meals a day must be delivered to your room. Don't play any tricks, otherwise I will kill you immediately!"

Jiang Yuyan was so angry that she vomited blood. What kind of killer god had she provoked?

"Hey, why are you going into my room?"

The man pushed open her room and said unreasonably, "I'll live here!"

Jiang Yuyan almost cried, "Then where do I sleep at night?"

"It's up to you~"

The door was closed with a bang!

"Go cook, don't disturb me if you have nothing else to do!"

A man's sincere voice came from the room.

Jiang Yuyan was shocked and angry for the whole morning. She felt that she was really unlucky. She had never done anything bad and had done good deeds many times. It would have been fine if this person didn't appreciate her, but he actually blamed her.

Shen Fu followed her with a constipated look on his face, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, wait for the young master to come back and deal with him!"

Jiang Yuyan nodded with red eyes and resigned herself to cooking for the man.

Red dates stewed eggs, Polygonatum odoratum old duck soup, stir-fried seasonal vegetables... Jiang Yuyan simply prepared three dishes and knocked on the door unhappily, "Eat, you are injured, you can only eat something light!"

"Take a bite first!" The man glanced over with sharp eyes.

Jiang Yuyan had no choice but to pick up the chopsticks and taste them one by one. The man was satisfied and said, "Get out!"

Jiang Yuyan left without looking back. It would be unlucky to stay for one more second.
