Chapter 39 I'm Not That Kind
The scream woke up Liang Jingyao from his sleep. He quickly put on his clothes and ran to check on Cheng Feng. He felt relieved when he saw Cheng Feng lying on the bed and sleeping.
"Master Lin, are you okay?"
Walking to the door of the west wing, Liang Jingyao asked with his back turned.
When Lin Xiaoyue heard Liang Jingyao's voice, her heart, which had been beating so fast, finally calmed down.
She immediately put on her coat, walked out nervously, and asked, "Brother Liang, is Yangming Mountain really haunted? I just saw a female ghost floating past me. It was so scary!"
Liang Jingyao sighed and said, "Maybe it's because the forest here is so big and the wind is so strong tonight, so it might be the shadows that are moving around. I wasn't used to it when I first came here, but I got used to it later. You can sleep peacefully, there won't be any ghosts here!"
Seeing Liang Jingyao say this, Lin Xiaoyue didn't know what to say. If she continued, it would be hypocritical. She couldn't let others watch her sleep outside, right? Wasn't that just handing Cheng Feng a pigtail to grab?
"Maybe I'm hallucinating because I'm too tired. Sorry, Brother Liang, I woke you up. Go back to sleep!"
Liang Jingyao nodded and reminded him again before leaving, "It's windy outside, you must close the doors and windows tightly."
"Okay, I'll definitely pay attention!"
With that, Lin Xiaoyue returned to her room. Before going to bed, she checked the windows again and blocked the door with a stool. Only after making sure that everything was closed tightly did she continue to sleep with peace of mind.
But strangely, just as Lin Xiaoyue was about to fall asleep, there was another unusual noise outside the window. At first, she thought the window was not closed tightly, so she put on some clothes and went to take a look. She saw the same horrifying scene as before:
This time it was the same female ghost as before, but she did not float away. Instead, she cried at her, with two lines of blood and tears flowing down her pale face!
Lin Xiaoyue was so frightened that she couldn't even swallow her saliva. She told herself in her heart that she must stay calm! The first time might be true, but the second time must be someone's trick!
Yes! That’s right! That’s it!
I am a female ghost who traveled from another world. We are all ghosts, so what is there to be afraid of?
With a lot of positive energy built up in her heart, Lin Xiaoyue took a deep breath, and when the female ghost was not paying attention, she suddenly pushed open the window and grabbed the ghost's clothes tightly!
Not only that, she also touched the female ghost's hand, which was warm!
There really is someone behind this, but who else could it be except Cheng Feng, who hates him the most?
Lin Xiaoyue felt that the female ghost was trying to break free from her, so she backed away desperately. How could she let go of such an opportunity to catch the thief and get the stolen goods?
"Ah! I caught the ghost! Brother Liang, come quickly, I caught the ghost!" So Lin Xiaoyue grabbed the female ghost tightly and shouted desperately.
Liang Jingyao was woken up again. This time he didn't go to see Cheng Feng, but ran directly to the west wing.
Lin Xiaoyue's whole body was hanging on the window. If she hadn't been holding the female ghost with both hands, she would have fallen to the ground!
Liang Jingyao first rescued Lin Xiaoyue from the window, then slapped the female ghost with his backhand, "Cheng Feng, you've gone too far! Who allowed you to do this?"
The mask on the ghost girl's face was knocked off, revealing a familiar face.
That’s right, this person is Cheng Feng!
Cheng Feng didn't think he had done anything wrong. He tried his best to argue, "Master, I've been by your side for so many years, and you've never slapped me so many times! Ever since this woman came, you've always taken her side in everything? You never listen to my advice. Today, I'm carrying out the master's order. Any woman who interferes with your grand plan will be killed!"
As he spoke, the sharp sword had already fallen on Lin Xiaoyue's neck. If she dared to resist, her head would fall off immediately!
Lin Xiaoyue felt the chill on her neck and said calmly, "Cheng Feng, believe it or not, if you dare to move, you'll be the first to die! Brother Liang and I are innocent, and it's you who's been messing around all this time, accusing me of seducing someone else's fiancé. Do you think I'm easy to bully, right?"
Cheng Feng snorted coldly and said righteously, "There can only be one woman in this bamboo courtyard, and that is Miss Jingyi! She is the fiancée that the master personally appointed for my master, and she can lend a helping hand to the master! Any other woman who dares to enter the bamboo courtyard will die!"
Lin Xiaoyue had a misconception: Was Cheng Feng brainwashed? Or was he secretly in love with Jingyi?
This kind of perverted mentality really makes people feel both pitiful and disgusted!
However, when nausea took over, Lin Xiaoyue no longer planned to let Cheng Feng go!
"Cheng Feng, I don't know why you've been trying so hard to protect Miss Jingyi, but even clay figures have tempers. I, Lin Xiaoyue, can't be killed just because you want to!"
As she spoke, she looked at the direction of the wind and threw a handful of powder at Cheng Feng.
Lin Xiaoyue secretly took out the powder from the space, and it was carried by the wind and fell all on Cheng Feng's face.
"A treacherous villain!"
While cursing, Cheng Feng accidentally inhaled a lot of powder and fell directly to the ground.
Lin Xiaoyue picked up the sword on the ground and was about to chop it down, "Go to hell, and be a smart person in your next life!"
"Wait!" Liang Jingyao stopped Lin Xiaoyue in time and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't discipline you enough and made you feel wronged!"
Lin Xiaoyue knew that Brother Liang wanted to plead for Cheng Feng, but keeping Cheng Feng was equivalent to making her live on the edge of a knife every day. Who knew when he would die?
"This has nothing to do with you. Cheng Feng is a loyal person, but he always takes his own ideas and puts them on others. He is also aggressive and no one can stand it! Besides, you can see that he has murderous intentions towards me. I am not that kind. I'm sorry!"
Liang Jingyao sighed. After all, he couldn't bear to see his trusted aide being killed!
"I'll ask him to go find Chili tomorrow. If he can't find her, I won't let him come back! I think he's matured after all the experience he's had out there. Give him another chance!"
Lin Xiaoyue was very conflicted. She just wanted to live a good life, but Cheng Feng seemed to have an obsession in his heart!
If we let it go easily today, will we still not get reconciliation and respect?
"What if he comes to kill me with a sword next time? Can you promise me?"
When saying this, Lin Xiaoyue's eyes were fixed on Liang Jingyao. If Liang Jingyao had any hesitation, she would strike with her sword without hesitation!
After all, she cherished her life more than anything else. The worst that could happen was that she could leave Yangmingshan. The world was so big, she could always find a place that belonged to her!
Liang Jingyao took out a jade pendant from his pocket and placed it in Lin Xiaoyue's hand. "In the future, no matter when, as long as you take out this jade pendant, I will do one thing for you unconditionally. This can buy Cheng Feng's life, right?"
Lin Xiaoyue felt the warmth in her palm and took it up to take a look. She saw the word "Liang" on the front of the jade pendant and an exquisite picture of a tiger descending the mountain carved on the back. Such a picture makes people look ambitious. Brother Liang is indeed a man with a story!
However, is it really worth exchanging Cheng Feng’s worthless life for it?
Will Brother Liang regret it in the future?
