Chapter 5 Puppetry "You are not Yin Zhiyi, who are you?"...

Yan Shiman, who had been trying his best to reduce his presence, narrowed his eyes. Yin Guiyuan frowned and looked at Yan Shiman beside him with a slightly gloomy look, obviously somewhat dissatisfied with him.

His mood was as bad as his livid face. After all, in his mind, his daughter could not have done anything wrong, so the only one who did wrong could be someone else.

Yan Shiman cupped his hands and said, "City Lord."

Yin Zhiyi then realized that Yan Shiman was also here. He had a low presence and bowed. Then his gentle voice was like beads falling into a jade plate, as if he was admitting his guilt: "It's Shiman's fault that the young lady doesn't like it."

Yin Zhiyi’s comment: [Wrong? Obviously relieved. 】

Yan Shiman: “…”

He continued, "I am willing to protect the young lady all the way." He lowered his head, as if he was apologizing to the city lord.

Yin Zhiyi was stunned: [The power of the plot is so terrifying. 】

She thought Yan Shiman would try his best to avoid her.

I was just thinking about how to reasonably bring the second male lead along after helping him avoid the original owner's father's broken leg plot, but I didn't expect that he would come up to me on his own initiative.

Others may not know, but she knows that although Yan Shiman is only a small guard in the City Lord's Mansion and has some knowledge of the Heavenly Master's magic, he will gradually reveal his extraordinary talent and then follow the male protagonist to become the Northern Heavenly Master and become the head disciple.

Yin Zhiyi showed an unwilling expression on her face. After all, she had just disliked Yan Shiman.

Yin Guiyuan habitually looked at his daughter's face and was about to refuse when he heard Bai Zhixing say, "City Lord, more people means more help. Since Master Yan knows a little bit about the magic of the Heavenly Master, it's not a bad idea for him to go with you."

"This..." Yin Guiyuan didn't expect that Master Bai would speak.

Just when he was in a dilemma, he saw his daughter nod as if in agreement, so he changed his tone and said, "Forget it, just protect the young lady well and be careful."

As soon as these words were spoken, Ji Ci's face became gloomy until he left the main hall.

Yin Guiyuan was confused. Did he say something wrong? Why does Master Ji Tian’s face look so dark?

Ever since Ji Ci arrived in Yunsang City, he behaved in a silent and serious manner, and his expression did not ease until he was about to leave.

It has never been his style to meddle in other people's affairs. If Bai Zhixing had not insisted on taking care of the matter, he would not have agreed to take such a burden with him.

And, there is more than one.

He glared at Yan Shiman fiercely.

The few of them agreed on the time and set the departure time at 9:00 p.m., which left just enough time for them to pack their luggage.

Suddenly Yin Zhiyi asked, "Master Bai Tian, ​​have all the evil spirits in Yunsang City been eliminated?"

Bai Zhixing nodded and said, "That's natural."

Yin Zhiyi pondered and said, "Will it appear again?"

This sounded like picking a fight. Bai Zhixing was silent for a moment, then said in a cold voice, "Master Ji told the fortune teller yesterday that the entire Yunsang City has been very peaceful recently."

Ji Ci was already annoyed with Yin Zhiyi. He hated this kind of delicate young lady the most. She was troublesome and fussy. His tone was impatient and a little sarcastic: "Miss Yin, don't you believe us? If you don't believe us, why would you ask us to take you to Wangyou Villa?"

Yin Zhiyi raised her eyebrows. She could tell that Ji Ci had a lot of complaints about her, but coincidentally, she also didn’t like a male protagonist with this kind of personality.

So, she decided to annoy the male lead: "I'm asking Master Bai Tian, ​​why are you butting in? Master Bai Tian is the direct disciple of the Southern School Heavenly Master, and you're just a casual cultivator - who knows if your divinations are accurate?"

Yin Zhiyi was actually right. Ji Ci had always looked down on Yunsang City, a remote and poor little town. Fortune telling was just a casual calculation. As for whether it was accurate or not, he had already left. What did it have to do with him?

Because of this, after the protagonists left, the City Lord's Mansion suffered a severe disaster.

Yin Zhiyi just remembered this plot. Although they are all paper people, Yin Zhiyi contempts the male protagonist for his colleagues who don't care about the lives of ordinary people.

"You!" Ji Ci exploded, his chest heaving and he was about to draw his sword subconsciously.

This person actually questioned his fortune-telling! In this world, apart from his master, no one can make more accurate divinations than him!

Ji Ci was so angry that he drew his sword.

Yan Shiman was originally enjoying the show, but on the surface he was still Yin Zhiyi's bodyguard, so he still had to pretend.

The long sword in his hand was unsheathed, and a cold light flashed.

Ji Ci frowned. The young man in front of him was thin, with skin whiter than a woman's. He looked like a pretty boy. Ji Ci didn't take him seriously at all, but unexpectedly, this man could actually take his sword.

He originally just wanted to scare Yin Zhiyi, but now that he was stopped, he became even angrier and decided to teach this pretty boy a lesson.

Yin Zhiyi was amazed in his heart, as expected, the male lead and the second male lead were natural rivals.

[The smell of gunpowder rose as soon as the two of them met. As expected, people with opposing identities are different. 】

"Stop!" Bai Zhixing shouted coldly.

Bai Zhixing had a headache. Seeing Yin Zhiyi provoking a conflict with just a few words and with an arrogant look on her face, her impression of her instantly became worse.

However, Ji Ci suddenly started to take action, and her tone became a little colder.

She pressed Ji Ci's hand: "Ji Ci, put away your sword."

Ji Ci's eyes widened in disbelief: "Why didn't he put away his sword first?"

Yin Zhiyi sneered in his heart: [Are you starting to get jealous now? You will have many more days of being jealous in the future. 】

She has not seen the ending of the book, so she doesn't know whether the hero and heroine will have a BE or HE ending.

But she really wanted to see the hero get humiliated.

Seeing Bai Zhi's awkward behavior, Yan Shiman took back his sword and said gently, "It's not necessary. The two Heavenly Masters should not hurt each other's feelings."

Bai Zhixing saw the faint smile on the young man's face and was stunned for a moment for no reason.

Ji Ci felt like he was being tricked and he shouldn't have been so angry just now! Why don't you want to hurt the relationship? Does it make him look generous? Or does it highlight his pettiness?

He pestered Ah Xing for so long before he was able to travel with her. Unexpectedly, Ah Xing frequently lost her mind after meeting this vixen twice!

He is so mad!

There was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes. How could a mere guard be worthy of competing with him for someone?

Bai Zhixing watched the young man's figure walking away, and suddenly thought of that person in her mind. They looked so similar, especially the smile just now, she was a little dazed.

She had an idea and decided that if Mr. Yan was willing, she could help him escape from the City Lord's Mansion.

·

Baoqingyuan.

Xiao Cui wiped her tears while packing her things.

Yin Zhiyi looked at the little girl who was crying like a tearful person and said firmly, "Stop crying."

She glanced away. Tears are really the most terrible thing in the world, especially women's tears.

After being yelled at, Xiao Cui immediately shut up, but she was still sobbing. Yin Zhiyi was really puzzled. Although the original owner did not treat Xiao Cui as badly as Yan Shiman, she was not good either.

Perhaps this is the limitation of this era. In the heart of this little maid, the original owner is her heaven.

"Miss, you must be well. Xiao Cui is waiting for you at the City Lord's Mansion." The journey was long and dangerous, and since one could not exorcise evil spirits in a ostentatious manner, Xiao Cui could not go with them. She could only pray silently in her heart that Miss would be safe on the journey.

Yin Zhiyi's originally calm heart was inexplicably moved.

Xiao Cui was busy like a spinning top, sometimes missing this, sometimes missing that.

"Oh, right! There's also pearl cream for burns, take it with you, as it's essential for everyday medicines! It seems to be in the warehouse next door, Miss, I'll go get it!"

Outside the door.

Yan Shiman's eyelids drooped, and there was a startling chill in his eyes.

I thought Yin Zhiyi's previous words were just nonsense, but the four words she said just now, "identity conflict", were like a thunderclap. How did she know about the matter between him and Ji Ci?

He tightened the lacquered wooden box in his hands.

He walked in.

Yin Zhiyi raised his eyes and asked, "What is this?"

Yan Shiman's eyes were solemn, and he smiled and said, "The city lord ordered the craftsmen to deliver these things, and you will know after you take a look at them, young lady."

The lock on the box was opened with a clang, and instantly, a black mist spread in front of Yin Zhiyi's eyes, and her vision immediately became blurred.

Yan Shiman put the box down and waved his slender fingers in front of her. The next second, his mask seemed to be torn off, and his eyes were filled with chilling coldness: "You are not Yin Zhiyi, who are you?"

His eyes burst into an astonishing blood color, with a bit of evil, as if they could suck people in: "Tell me, who are you?"

At the same time, Yin Zhiyi frowned and looked dull, as if he was lost in thought.

She repeated: "I tell you, I am... I am..."

After a few breaths, she said, "I am...Yin Zhiyi."

Yan Shiman didn't expect this answer. He suppressed the bloody smell rising in his throat and asked again: "Did you take over this body?"

"No." The person in front of him answered very straightforwardly without any hesitation.

It was so fast that Yan Shiman even felt that she was not controlled by the puppet technique.

His bloodline has only been awakened for a short time, and at this stage he is unable to control the power in his body well. But the dull look in the person's eyes was obviously not fake, and he couldn't hear what she was thinking. Only when someone was controlled by puppetry would they lose the slightest sense of self.

Not a possession of another's body? Why is this happening? For a moment, Yan Shiman was filled with doubts.

"Miss!"

Xiao Cui's voice came from far away and instantly broke the eerie silence.

Yan Shi retreated after the court and snapped his fingers lightly. The person in front of him instantly regained his clarity, as if nothing had happened.

Yin Zhiyi was slightly stunned, then put the red lacquered wooden box down and continued, "I understand. You can go down."
