Chapter 68 Worriless Nie
The man waited until Jiang Yuyan left before he slowly began to eat. The food tasted unexpectedly good, even better than what the chef at their Tianji Pavilion cooked.
The man's eyes lit up. He was really hungry these days, so he gobbled up the food mouthful after mouthful.
He lay on his side on the bed, avoiding the wound, to rest. There was a faint fragrance coming from the pillow, the same as the smell of the woman.
He suddenly realized that this was the woman's bed...
The feeling of that person touching his sensitive waist and abdomen that day came back to him again.
The man's body was tense, and he felt a little irritated.
…………
Before going to bed at night, Jiang Yuyan was in trouble.
There were only two proper bedrooms in this small courtyard, and Shen Fu had to make do with living in the side room in the corner.
This man occupies her room, so where does she sleep at night?
"Or, you can sleep in the master's room!" Shen Fu scratched his head. However, the master didn't like people to get close to him, and he didn't allow people to touch his underwear, so he added: "You sleep on the floor!"
Jiang Yuyan nodded and could only put up with it for one night.
The autumn floor was freezing cold. Jiang Yuyan had no choice but to wrap herself up like a cocoon, with half of the quilt underneath her and the other half wrapped around her body.
Maybe he didn't sleep well, or maybe he was frightened by someone putting a knife to his neck during the day.
Jiang Yuyan had a nightmare all night. She dreamed that she was being chased and ran away in a panic. She also dreamed that she fell into an icy lake and was freezing cold...
"don't want!"
Jiang Yuyan mumbled in her sleep, and soon a warm object came close to her. She grabbed it like a life-saving straw and even pressed her face against the source of heat.
Shen Yi, who had hurried back before dawn, was confused when he saw Jiang Yuyan lying on the ground.
He picked her up with the quilt and carefully put her on the bed. But when he was tucking the quilt into her, his hand was grabbed by Jiang Yuyan.
The warmth pressed against him, like a pitiful little animal, rubbing against him to please him. Shen Yi's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, his drooping eyelashes trembled slightly, and his usually calm face cracked, revealing a trace of imperceptible tension.
At this time, the door opposite opened.
Shen Yi frowned slightly, opened the door, and faced the man head-on.
The man was obviously startled, "Chen Yi?"
"I didn't expect that the Young Master of Tianji Pavilion would come to visit us. I'm so sorry for not welcoming you." Shen Yi's voice sounded particularly cold and hostile in the morning breeze.
When he received the message from Shen Fu last night, he was extremely anxious. As soon as he returned to the tribe, he was detained by several elders. It must be because of what Shen Jiaorou said. His good aunt interrogated him for a long time whether he had an affair with someone outside, and also checked the whereabouts of Meng Ling. Shen Yi just said that he lost it, and was punished to kneel in the clan temple for three days and three nights before he was able to escape.
The man was none other than Nie Wuyou, the young leader of Tianji Pavilion, the top intelligence and assassin organization in Jianghu. Shen Yi had been a patient for his father, and the two knew each other from that.
Nie Wuyou was secretly sweating in his heart. He had no idea when Chen Yi came back.
I only knew that he was a great doctor, but I didn't expect his martial arts skills were also unfathomable. I dared not underestimate him, and said respectfully, "I'm sorry to bother you, Brother Shen, by coming here. I'm just injured, and fortunately, the doctor in your clinic saved me. I'm sorry to bother you for a few days. Brother Shen is a kind-hearted doctor, so you shouldn't mind, right?"
Shen Yi didn't answer, and the look in his eyes when he looked at him was calm, but it made people shudder for no reason.
Jiang Yuyan slowly opened her eyes when she heard the noise outside. She found that she had actually run to Chen Yi's bed. She realized something and immediately ran out of the room happily, "Chen Yi!"
The man in green clothes, covered in dew, with his back to her, slowly turned around. There was a glimmer of morning light in his eyes, and they were instantly warm.
"Go back and put on your shoes." Chen Yi looked at her bare feet and frowned.
"Oh... okay!" Jiang Yuyan looked at her feet awkwardly, her face flushed with shame, and turned back to her room.
Nie Wuyou's eyes wandered over the two of them, and he certainly didn't miss any of their subtle expressions.
He seemed to have seen something interesting, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Shen Yi cast a sharp look. Nie Wuyou touched his nose and looked around in a pretentious manner.
Seeing that the person who backed her up had returned, Jiang Yuyan suddenly became more confident and hurriedly pulled the corner of Shen Yi's clothes to complain, "Shen Yi, this man is not a good person! I saved him and he wants to kill me!"
Nie Wuyou waved his hands quickly, "It's just a misunderstanding, it's just a joke. If I really wanted to kill you, you would be dead the first time you saw me!"
"Huh, so I should thank you for not killing me?"
"That's not necessary..."
Nie Wuyou felt a little short of breath for no reason when facing Chen Yi. Seeing the atmosphere between the two, he rolled his eyes and said with a wicked smile: "You touched my whole body, and in the end I was at a disadvantage. Let's call it quits!"
Shen Yi's face darkened a little more when he heard this.
Nie Wuyou felt both amused and surprised. He didn't expect that the patriarch of the Lingshu tribe actually liked such an ugly woman and even gave her Meng Ling. It was really strange.
Jiang Yuyan became even more angry after hearing his shameless remarks, "I just applied medicine to you, and you're blaming me~"
As she spoke, she tugged at the corner of Chen Yi's clothes and shook it, looking like she was trusting him wholeheartedly and acting like a spoiled child.
Shen Yi felt that Jiang Yuyan treated him differently this time. She often acted like a little girl and seemed quite dependent on him. This realization made him feel very happy. His face was as happy as the first clearing of spring snow.
"This is Nie Wuyou, the young master of Tianji Pavilion." Shen Yi introduced her, "As long as you can afford the price, they can find out any information for you or... kill people."
"This is...my friend...Chen Canglan." Shen Yi said to Nie Wuyou.
Nie Wuyou looked at Jiang Yuyan with interest, and suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, “It is rumored that the Lingshu tribe has a sacred object that can revive the dead, so why didn’t Patriarch Shen help you heal the scar on your face?
Or is it that Patriarch Shen has such a unique taste that he likes this?"
These words were quite hurtful. As soon as the voice fell, the scene suddenly fell silent.
Jiang Yuyan's heart was pounding, and the two pieces of information in Nie Wuyou's words made her dizzy.
"like"
"The Living Dead"
Is it true?
She mustered up the courage to glance at Shen Yi, only to see his eyes flickering slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
“…”
Suddenly I wasn't so sure anymore.
Jiang Yuyan was only entangled for a moment about the holy object. She believed in Shen Yi. If he had a way but didn't treat her, he must have his reasons. She had no reason to force him.
But, does Shen Yi really like her?
Nie Wuyou sensed the undercurrent between the two of them and felt even happier.
Shen Yi had an even worse impression of this person and wanted to chase him away immediately.
"Don't! Brother Shen, I'm being chased and injured. Our Tianji Pavilion and Lingshu Valley have some friendship, and your wife has promised to take care of my three meals a day..."
"Get out, there's no place for you to stay!" Shen Yi said coldly.
"I can sleep on the floor in this living room..."
Nie Wuyou started to act like a scoundrel. He felt that things were getting more and more interesting. After all, he was injured, and this woman's cooking was so delicious. It would be a waste not to take advantage of a good place to recuperate.
Jiang Yuyan thought for a while and said, "You can stay here to recuperate. Just seven days. Bring me a piece of information in exchange!"
"What do you want to know?" Nie Wuyou was curious.
Jiang Yuyan glanced at Shen Yi, feeling a little guilty.
Shen Yi seemed to have sensed something and said, “I’m going to the front to see the patient, you guys chat.”
Nie Wuyou's eyes were filled with more curiosity. Jiang Yuyan approached him and whispered, "I want to know the news about the three young masters of the Jiang family in Beijing."
Nie Wuyou's eyes widened slightly, and he scanned Jiang Yuyan up and down with a shrewd gaze, "So that's how it is, really interesting, interesting!"
Jiang Yuyan looked at him warily, "What do you mean?"
Nie Wuyou grinned, "Although I am not responsible for collecting intelligence, I have heard from the elders in the pavilion that the soap business of the Jiang family in the capital has now been sold to all parts of Dayue Country, and their hidden wealth is comparable to that of the Ji family, the richest merchant in Dayue. The Jiang family is now offering a reward of 1,000 taels of gold to find the whereabouts of Madam Jiang... It is rumored that Madam Jiang was originally stunningly beautiful, but later her beauty was damaged..."
Nie Wuyou approached her and laughed meaningfully, "This is really easy to get! If I spread the news now, wouldn't the thousand taels of gold be within my reach?"
"Don't..." Jiang Yuyan was struck by lightning, her expression was tense, "Don't!"
"My Tianji Pavilion is open for business, there is no reason for me to let go of this reward!" Nie Wuyou curled his lips and sneered.
"Then I don't want any news about the three of them. Please don't leak my information."
Jiang Yuyan felt sorry for the three of them for their persistence in looking for her, but when she thought about the fact that they actually offered a reward of one thousand taels of gold, her heart ached and she wanted to beat them up. This was equivalent to a year's harvest of a shop in the capital!
"This doesn't seem to be a good deal! After all, your information is only worth three hundred taels of silver at most." Nie Wuyou was shrewd.
"If you don't respond, get out immediately! And I promise, as long as I say a word, Chen Yi will never see patients for your Tianji Pavilion again." Jiang Yuyan borrowed Chen Yi's power and bluffed with a guilty conscience.
Nie Wuyou stroked his chin and did not refute her words. He clicked his tongue and said, "Interesting."
After that, he walked to the front of the courtyard, put two fingers to his lips, and blew a whistle. Not long after, a milky white pigeon flew over. Nie Wuyou stuffed the written paper into a small bamboo tube, tied it to the pigeon's leg, and released it.
Turning to Jiang Yuyan, he said, "I won't reveal your information, but if others find out, it's none of my business. Also, give me the news about the Jiang family in three days. You have to cook for me personally during the days I am recovering from my injury."
Jiang Yuyan thought this deal was a good deal, and immediately nodded in agreement. Her eyes were clear and lively, as if they were filled with the glow of the mountains and waters.
Nie Wuyou looked at those eyes and couldn't help but said, "I'm suddenly curious about what you were like before you were disfigured. If you can heal your face, I might marry you."
Jiang Yuyan wanted to roll her eyes right there and then, "Stop it, we are just business partners, we don't have any friendship. Even if I am cured, it has nothing to do with you!"
Nie Wuyou shrugged and grinned nonchalantly. It would be nice to give Shen Yi some trouble!
