80 Demon World (I)
◎Do you like me◎
She was also very scared, and even thought about how to run faster after the fight started.
The men looked at each other in bewilderment. The man in the lead snatched the jade pendant from her hand with a sinister grin on his face. "So what?"
"You apologize to him." Li Jintang said seriously.
"Apologize?"
Under her puzzled gaze, they suddenly burst into laughter. After a moment's laughter, the man pointed at her and said, "Still wanting to show off and save people, huh? Don't you think you're any better than me? Get out of the way, or I won't recognize men or women with my fists."
"Then do you know who I am?" Li Jintang refused to retreat or give in. His provocation actually made his fear fade considerably. "If you dare touch me, my father will not forgive you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he caused another burst of laughter.
"Okay, then I want to see what kind of person your father is..." The three men laughed and rubbed their fists, making a crackling sound with their knuckles.
She wasn't afraid either. Her eyes lit up and a look of joy appeared on her face: "Daddy, you're here!"
"Do you really think we are fools..."
The three men didn't believe it at first, thinking that she was trying to divert attention and escape. Unexpectedly, when they turned around, they saw a Taoist priest in a long robe standing behind them, staring at them angrily.
A chill breeze blew across their backs, and the three men's legs softened. They immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, "This... this... is because we were blind and didn't recognize a great man. Please be magnanimous and don't make a fuss about it..."
The young man raised his head from his blood-stained arms, his eyes filled with vigilance. Suddenly, a layer of warmth covered his palm. The girl smiled and whispered to him, "Don't be afraid. It's not your fault."
The Taoist priest looked at him suspiciously. Li Jintang, fearing he would be exposed, said hurriedly, "He won't listen to you. How about this? You apologize to this young master, and I'll let you go."
The three of them could tell at a glance that the Taoist's cultivation was far superior to theirs, so they dared not hesitate. They gritted their teeth and apologized very reluctantly.
Li Jintang said, "Before my father changes his mind, you all should get out of here right now and never bother him again!"
After the three men walked away, she squatted down to look the boy in the eye and reached out to touch his forehead.
"Why……"
Unexpectedly, he showed great resistance and leaned back to avoid the outstretched hand, but accidentally hit the wall hard. Because the injury was too serious, he fainted.
"Hey," Li Jintang grabbed his arm and shook it, "Wake up..."
She just wanted to help, why did she scare the person to faint?
"Tang'er..."
She stood up and looked around anxiously. When she heard a familiar voice, she immediately went forward with joy and told the man everything that had happened.
"My sister is truly remarkable. She's not even afraid of a group of people like that." Li Baiwei smiled and praised her, then looked at the person with closed eyes, her brows slightly furrowed. "This is really troublesome... If I bring an outsider back with me, my father will definitely be angry."
"But we can't just leave him here to fend for himself. Those people will definitely come back to find him." After saying that, Li Jintang bent down to grab his arm and tried to pull him up.
"Then you can take him back by yourself. I won't agree." After complaining, Li Baiwei pulled his other arm, called a carriage, and pulled the man up with her sister.
"All this money was exchanged for nothing," she complained, but there was no dissatisfaction in her tone. She put the silver into her purse, raised her eyelids and warned, "Don't tell Daddy."
Li Jintang quickly swore, "I will never let Dad know."
"When you get back, bring him to my room. If Dad asks about it, I'll just say I don't know."
"You're so stupid! Who told me about this?" Li Baiwei felt both angry and amused. "If Daddy asks about it, will he let you be the only one to be punished?"
The carriage quickly returned to Fengxi Mountain, just as everyone was preparing for the dinner. The two men took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and quickly helped the person back to the room.
Li Jintang looked at the unconscious person on the couch and felt a little uneasy. "Sister, let's tell Dad. It's better to get a scolding than to get into trouble."
"Senior Sister," followed by the sound of footsteps, a disciple stood outside the door with his hands clasped in his hands and said, "The Immortal Master Mingxin is calling you."
After the elder sister left with the herbs, a slight cough suddenly sounded in the room. Li Jintang turned around and saw that the person on the couch had opened his eyes at some point.
"How are you?"
He didn't answer, but looked around with suspicion in his eyes.
"This is Fengxi Mountain. They won't chase us. Don't be afraid." Seeing that he was still staring at her, Li Jintang tilted her head and waved her hand, saying, "I mean no harm. I brought you back to save you."
"Save me?"
Just when I was wondering if he was a mute, the boy's eyes moved slightly, and the doubt in his eyes became even stronger.
Li Jintang didn't notice anything unusual about him, and said to himself: "You just fainted, and my sister and I brought you back. Just sit there, I want to feel your pulse now." After that, he flicked his sleeves and was about to press his pulse.
"Why save me?"
He suddenly held her hand, then seemed to think of something and slowly moved his hand away from her wrist.
"Why...why did I save you?"
Li Jintang was stunned by the question and couldn't think of how to answer it, so he repeated the question.
The other party remained silent, with his eyes lowered, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.
Looking at his serious expression, she suddenly felt that he was inexplicably cute and couldn't help laughing. When he raised his eyes in confusion, she curved her eyes and said, "I don't know why, maybe because you need help."
"I need help?" He curled his lips, as if he had heard something ridiculous. "How do you know I'm right?"
"I can only believe what I see." Seeing that his face was getting paler and paler, Li Jintang took out the gauze and wrapped it around the wound in circles without giving him a chance to refuse.
“…” He raised his hand and looked away with disgust, unwilling to look at the ugly bandage any longer.
Li Jintang had just learned how to bandage, and he knew he wasn't doing it well. Seeing him like this, he felt even more embarrassed and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, what's your name?"
The young man's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He turned away and said calmly, "I don't have a name."
She was even more puzzled - how could someone not have a name?
"What should I call you then?"
"casual."
There were footsteps outside the house.
"Tang'er, who are you talking to?"
Li Jintang immediately became nervous and ran to the window to take a look outside. He then turned back and whispered, "It's up to you, sir. Wait here while I go deal with my father."
The young man pretended not to hear anything. After the door was closed and the room was empty, he suddenly realized that the "Mr. Suibian" was referring to him.
“…”

"Where did you hide my junior sister?"
The man in front of him clenched his fists and stared at him with a gloomy expression.
"Mr. Qi, if you have anything to say, you may say it to it. As for the rest, I advise you to give up." Xie Changyan glanced at the ancient tree in front of the hall and passed by him expressionlessly.
"stop."
His junior sister was his childhood sweetheart and grew up together. He thought he knew her very well. How could she possibly fall in love with such an unforgivable evildoer?
"You like my junior sister only because she saved your life several times. Mr. Xie, you might as well think about it carefully. If she knew who you were, would she still treat you the same way as before?"
"My junior sister has no feelings for you at all." Seeing that the other party had not stopped walking, Qi He smiled coldly, and a string of wind chimes hung from his hand. "Thank you, Sect Master. Don't you want to know what this is?"
The wind chimes collided and made a series of crisp sounds. The boy really stopped and turned to look at the wind chimes, his eyes changing instantly.
"Oh, yes, Sect Leader Xie must have seen Junior Sister preparing a gift for me." Qi He put away the wind chime and said with a smile, "If she regains her memory one day, do you think she will choose her senior brother, whom she has been with day and night, or the evil Sect Leader of the Demon Clan?"
My junior sister must have feelings for him. If it weren't for this unexpected incident, Master and his wife would have arranged for them to get married long ago...
Qi He didn't say this out loud because he was too angry and was afraid that this devil would do something bad to him and his junior sister.
"Really?"
Xie Changyan narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold light flashed across his eyes, and disappeared in an instant.
That string of wind chimes...she gave it to Qi He right in front of him.
At that time, he was not upset at all, and even laughed at her clumsiness in her heart because she hurt her hand while making wind chimes.
"Why do you keep bringing up the past, Master Qi?" He smiled, but couldn't hide the murderous intent in his eyes. "You can only be considered a senior brother if she remembers you. If she never remembers..."
He suddenly raised his hand, and the string of wind chimes was rolled into his sleeve. Another silver needle flew out and hit the opponent's left shoulder squarely.
"You are nothing."
The young man had a triumphant smile on his lips as he looked down at him condescendingly.
"You..." Blood continued to seep from his shoulder, but it wasn't fatal. Qi He's face was pale, but he showed no fear at all. Instead, he grinned through his bloodstained lips and said, "How long do you think you can hide this from her? My junior sister has recovered her memory. If she knew it was you who killed me, do you think she would hate you?"
"Whether she hates me or not is none of your business," Xie Changyan took the handkerchief handed to him by the guard and calmly wiped the dust off his hands. "As for the first question, she knew who I was from the beginning. Didn't she tell you?"
Qi He's face changed, and before he could say anything, the other party turned and walked away.
"Your father said I was from the demon world. What? Do you regret saving me?"
“No regrets.”
He was puzzled: "Why did you save a stranger?"
"You and I both live in this world, so how can we be unrelated?" She answered matter-of-factly, "People don't have to know each other to help each other. If it were someone else today, I would save him too."
Yes, she has always known his identity, so why would she mind it?
What she hated was his deception from beginning to end, and how he almost killed his so-called friend.
If she could erase all those past memories, would she...would she not hate him anymore?
Xie Changyan hid the wind chime in his sleeve and pushed open the door of the hall very gently, for fear of waking up the people in the house.
But she had woken up long ago, and was just sitting on the couch looking at him, her body still visibly shaking. The fear in her eyes turned into a basin of cold water, pouring over him from head to toe, and even her soul was numbed by the cold.
"I'm glad you're awake." Xie Changyan smiled, walked over as if nothing had happened, and gently pulled her wrist, wanting to pass some spiritual power to her.
Li Jintang watched him coming, and all that remained in his mind were the murderous methods he had used along the way. Before he could touch her, she suddenly retracted her hand and curled up into a self-protective posture.
His smile froze on his lips, and then he slowly withdrew his stiff arms.
"Drink the medicine first, okay?" He spoke to her almost in a begging tone.
Li Jintang turned his head away from him, wanting to speak but unable to make a sound, his throat ached.
"Atang, you really don't want to say a word to me?" His eyes were frustrated. He stopped forcing her and took out a candle and lit it.
Lighting a candle in the already bright room seemed particularly out of place.
Xie Changyan slowly and unhurriedly put a piece of talisman paper covered with blood words into it, until the last bit of paper was swallowed by the candle. He curled his lips slightly, and the broken shadows cast by the flames were reflected in his eyes.
"Atang, look at me."
He half-knelt down and wiped the tears from her face, his bewitching voice ringing in her ears.
"I..." The girl opened her mouth, then suddenly let go of the blanket in her arms, turned around and looked at him, her eyes gradually changing from struggling to confused, "Xie An?"
"Well," he said after hearing Xin'an's name, he picked up the bowl, scooped a small spoonful of medicine and handed it to her mouth, "I added sugar, so it's not bitter."
She tilted her head, staring at the bowl. After a moment, she picked it up with both hands and drank it all in one gulp.
"Xie An," she looked around at a loss, "Where is this? Where are Brother Qu and Sister Qiuyan? Oh, and Fellow Daoist Nangong..."
Why are they here again...
The puppet talisman cannot completely erase memories, but it can make people have extra memories that do not belong to them.
"None of that matters."
The young man pinched her chin and forced her to look directly at him:
"Atang, you like me, right?"
