Chapter 453 The Inn Attack
In her past life, she did indeed find a way to cure her third brother's leg in an ancient book, and even confirmed the treatment's effectiveness on other people with leg problems before giving the prescription to her third brother.
Even Zhang Tianshun in his previous life didn't know about this; the only one who knew was Zi Yuan.
But Ziyuan had long been sent to the north to do good deeds. At that time, her relationship with Du Ziheng could not be described as irreconcilable, but it was absolutely impossible to repair.
Besides, Zi Yuan in this life doesn't know anything about the prescription.
So, did Du Ziheng really dream about his past life?
But why is his past life different from hers?
"Yi'er, believe me!"
Du Ziheng tried to take Yu Zhiyi's hand, but she avoided him.
She pursed her lips and asked in a low voice, "Besides these, what else?"
Du Ziheng shook his head: "Everything in the dream was like a fleeting glimpse. I only remember the feeling in the dream, and I don't remember the details very clearly."
He hesitated for a moment: "Actually, your relationship with the Yu family isn't very good. After Yu Jiaojiao was found, the Yu family initially favored you and ignored everything Yu Jiaojiao did."
"Later, I don't know what happened, but Yu Jiaojiao died before her wedding. From then on, the Yu family began to distance themselves from you."
Seeing Yu Zhiyi frowning, he hurriedly said, "But you don't need to worry. In your past life, you were also a kind person. You never bullied her or instigated the Yu family to do anything to her. It was the Yu family's problem. At first, they ignored her because they had a deeper relationship with you. Later, when she died, they all seemed to fall in love with her in an instant and turned around to misunderstand and blame you."
"It's their problem."
Yu Zhiyi pinched the bridge of her nose.
This is also different from her experience in her previous life.
After ruling out the possibility that Du Ziheng was lying, the whole thing became suspicious.
"Yi'er," Du Ziheng approached cautiously, "can we go back to the way things were before?"
Yu Zhiyi snapped out of her reverie, turned away from his touch, and said coldly, "When have we ever had a past?"
“But…” Du Ziheng wanted to say something.
Yu Zhiyi said coldly, "What you call your past life is nothing but a dream. Even you yourself can't tell if it was just a fleeting dream, can you?"
"Even if it were all true, what would it have to do with me?"
“I have never experienced what you call my past life. From my perspective, I have never had any feelings for you, and you have never been kind to me. Since we met, all you have brought me is humiliation and hurt.”
"Even the so-called confessions that followed were mixed with disgusting people and things."
"Du Ziheng, you and I have never been on the same level. We are like two lines on different tracks that accidentally became entangled. That moment of intersection was everything, and afterwards, we will only drift further and further apart."
"No! That's not how it is!" Du Ziheng's eyes reddened with emotion, tears welling up in them. "You and I are such a perfect match, such a loving couple. We were made for each other, we should have been husband and wife!"
Yu Zhiyi smiled softly.
"Perfect match made in heaven?"
His tone was full of sarcasm.
"If that's really the case, how could you fall in love with someone else?"
"And how could I be completely indifferent to you?"
Du Ziheng shook his head: "I don't know where things went wrong. In the past life in my dream, there was clearly no You Bingyue! We were like the male and female protagonists in a storybook, naturally meeting, getting to know each other, falling in love, and staying together for a lifetime."
He clutched his head: "What happened? Why did it turn out like this?"
Yu Zhiyi frowned as she looked at him.
After a long silence, her ethereal voice spoke in a clear, cold tone: "Even if your past life was real, it's already over. The reality now is that it's impossible for you and me to be together."
"Forget about that so-called past life. People always have to move forward."
Du Ziheng roared, "How could I possibly forget such genuine love and tenderness?!"
Yu Zhiyi remained silent.
Her patience wore thin, and she said in a low voice, "So, are you going to leave or not?"
Du Ziheng realized what she was about to do and hurriedly said, "Don't go, and don't disappear again so I can't find you! I'm leaving! I'm leaving!"
Du Ziheng left the inn dejectedly.
Yu Zhiyi is already preparing to move to a different place.
On second thought, she figured she would probably leave Shoushi City after the auction of the Longevity Pill was over, so there was no need to go to such lengths.
Most importantly, Yuan Yajun might come looking for her tonight, and if she leaves, her spirit stones will be wasted.
Suddenly, her heart began to pound violently.
It was a chilling feeling that was even more dangerous than when I encountered Master Lingyun.
Without a second thought, Yu Zhiyi leaped out of the window.
The very next instant, a large hole suddenly appeared in the ground where she had been standing.
Yu Zhiyi's condition is not good.
Although she moved quickly, the danger was faster and more violent than she had anticipated. A long gash was slashed across her back, the wound connecting to her arm.
If she had been any slower, her entire arm would probably have been sliced off.
The worst outcome would be that her heart would be pierced on the spot, and she would be dead beyond any hope of survival!
She is currently only at the Golden Core stage, not yet at the Nascent Soul stage; if her body dies, she is truly dead.
People were coming and going on the long street, and everyone stared at her in astonishment.
Yu Zhiyi covered the wound on her arm, beads of sweat forming on her forehead. Her ethereal voice was slightly hoarse, but clear enough for everyone in the room to hear: "Someone has violated the rule against fighting in the city and is trying to kill me! Please help me notify the city guards."
Actually, she didn't need to ask; the innkeepers came looking for her on their own.
That attack just now not only damaged Yu Zhiyi's body, but also the floorboards of the inn.
The guests on the lower floor were quite frightened.
The inn must take responsibility for this matter.
Before long, the city guards arrived.
After inspecting the area, the leading man said with an inscrutable expression, "This matter is very strange and needs to be thoroughly investigated before a conclusion can be reached."
He then looked coldly at Yu Zhiyi and said, "Young lady, come with us."
Yu Zhiyi frowned: "Excuse me, is this the normal procedure for the Shoushi City Guard?"
The man slightly raised his hand, his expression arrogant: "Of course."
He thought that once he said that, the woman in front of him would obediently follow him.
Unexpectedly, Yu Zhiyi calmly asked, "So, what is the specific procedure? Where do you plan to take me? How long do you expect me to cooperate with the investigation? Are you planning to take me, the victim, away without leaving anyone to investigate the murderer?"
The man was taken aback, his face immediately turning cold: "What cooperation with the investigation? We suspect this is all a staged act by you, designed to sabotage tomorrow's auction! Someone as suspicious as you, how dare you even try to come out?"
In a flash, Yu Zhiyi thought of many things.
