Looking back now, Lin Xiuyan realizes that with Ye Junfei's abilities, if he hadn't deliberately let her escape, she would never have been able to escape from him.
Why did he let her go when he was a ruthless killer?
She had no answer to this question, even after two lifetimes had passed.
At that moment, she had a vague feeling that perhaps he hadn't lied to her and did indeed have some affection for her.
She turned her head slightly, bit her lip lightly, but didn't say anything.
Ye Junfei looked at her and asked, "You don't believe me?"
Lin Xiuyan took a deep breath and changed the subject: "Can I take your pulse?"
Ye Junfei smiled and nodded. After he went mad with demonic possession, his restless bloodline was suppressed because he was often with her.
However, as long as he was away from her for an extended period, he found it difficult to control his murderous intent and restlessness.
He had suspected before that she might know medicine, but she stubbornly refused to admit it.
Lin Xiuyan only wanted to find the Blood Jade Grass and send him away, and did not want to reveal too much of her ability in front of him, for fear of attracting trouble.
Now that she knows he means her no harm, they can try a different approach to their relationship from now on.
After carefully taking his pulse, she said, "I can cure your qi deviation."
Ye Junfei raised an eyebrow slightly: "What are your conditions?"
Lin Xiuyan looked at him and said, "After I heal you, everything I owed you or offended you before will be wiped clean."
Ye Junfei looked at her with a half-smile and asked, "And then?"
Lin Xiuyan bit her lip lightly and said, "Then let's start as friends and begin anew."
Ye Junfei's eyes immediately lit up: "Okay."
Lin Xiuyan laughed when she saw his expression.
This decision was of great significance to her, as she had been living in fear ever since her rebirth and encounter with Ye Junfei.
She had to deal with Zhou Chenyang and the unpredictable Ye Junfei, and she would tremble with fear in her midnight dreams.
Now that she has discovered many things that are different from what she knew in her past life, she feels that she can reconcile with her past self.
The past life is the past life, and this life is this life.
While everyone at the Lin family was training enthusiastically, Zhou Chenyang was not idle either.
He has already mobilized all the troops he can and has begun planning a night raid on the Lin residence.
The disappearance of the iron block made him much more alert.
He finally realized that he had been too successful since arriving in Chongqing, which made him too complacent.
The reason the iron block was lost was ultimately because that damned Prince Pingnan's heir was too cunning:
The fact that the Prince of Pingnan's heir sent the iron block to the Prince of Pingnan's residence with his men essentially lowered his guard.
He thought that he could steal all the iron blocks by simply having someone put on a show.
Therefore, the people he sent were few in number and their martial arts skills were not particularly high.
The other party took advantage of this psychology, sending out skilled fighters who easily seized his iron block.
In his eyes, the Lin family was weak now, but with the cunning Prince Pingnan in the Lin family, he dared not be careless in the slightest.
Because of these successive mistakes, he has now been pushed to the limit. If he can't come up with the money again, something bad will happen.
Liu Tianwen said from the side, "City Lord, there's no need to be too nervous. The loss of the iron block last time may not have been the work of the Prince of Pingnan."
"My subordinates have sent people to Liefeng City to inquire about the situation. Recently, the Pingnan Prince's Mansion has not received a large quantity of iron blocks."
"So it's very likely that someone else with ulterior motives secretly stole the iron block."
Zhou Chenyang looked puzzled: "If those iron pieces weren't stolen by the people from the Prince of Pingnan's mansion, then who did?"
"Also, so many iron blocks couldn't have just disappeared into thin air. Where are all those iron blocks now?"
Even Liu Tianwen couldn't answer this question.
They've been frantically searching for the iron block these past few days, but it seems to have vanished into thin air.
They had sent people to check the banks on both sides of the stretch from Yucheng to Liefengcheng, but they didn't see any deep ruts.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Tianwen said, "If the iron block wasn't stolen by the people from the Prince of Pingnan's mansion, could it have been transported away via other routes?"
There are even more other routes, so varied and numerous that it's impossible to find them all.
Zhou Chenyang's face was extremely grim. He said in a deep voice, "If we can't find the iron block, we can't delay looting the Lin family mansion any longer."
Liu Tianwen agreed with this, but still said, "The Prince of Pingnan's heir is at the Lin residence. If we go directly there, we might run into him and his guards, which could also cause us harm."
"Why don't we devise a plan to lure the Prince of Pingnan away using a diversionary tactic? We don't need to worry about the Lin family at all." (cascoo.net)
Zhou Chenyang nodded: "Let's do it your way."
The following afternoon, Ye Junfei received a message from the Prince of Pingnan's residence, ordering him to return to the residence immediately.
He calculated the time and realized that the imperial edict from the capital must have reached the Prince of Pingnan's residence, ordering him to marry Princess Anle.
Although he already knew about this, receiving this letter at this time still made him somewhat unhappy.
Lin Xiuyan had just agreed to help him cure his illness, and their relationship had only made a slight progress when this imperial decree arrived.
Although he already knew about this beforehand and had anticipated it, he hadn't met Lin Xiuyan yet.
At that time, he was filled with violence and didn't care what means he used or who he would marry in order to achieve his goals.
For him, Princess Anle was merely a stepping stone to seize control of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion by leveraging the power of the imperial court.
Back then, he didn't care who he married, but now he only wants to marry Lin Xiuyan.
Wu Dao said from the side, "Young Master, the Prince has ordered that you must return."
A shadow fell over Ye Junfei's eyes, and he said coldly, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Wu Dao immediately shrank his neck: "I wouldn't dare!"
Ye Junfei's gaze turned slightly cold: "It is indeed necessary to return to the Prince's Mansion at this time, but before I go back, there is one more thing I need to do."
Wu Dao hurriedly asked, "Whatever the young master decides to do, I will fully support him!"
Ye Junfei glanced at him sideways and said, "Get lost!"
Wu Dao knew he was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to provoke him and silently rolled away.
Ye Junfei was annoyed by him. With Lin Xiuyan not around, his restless blood could not be suppressed. He raised his foot and kicked him away.
No Knife: "..."
He felt so pathetic.
After kicking Wu Dao out, Ye Junfei went to find Lin Xiuyan, but he hesitated when he got to her door.
What could he possibly say to her now?
Tell her that the emperor has decreed that he must marry another woman, and ask her what she thinks.
Given her current personality, she'll probably just congratulate him directly, and he'll be the one who gets furious.
Just as he was about to leave, the door opened from the inside.
Lin Xiuyan was somewhat surprised to see him. The sun had risen in the west, and he didn't jump through the window to come in, but instead went through the main door.
She asked him, "Is there something you need?"
