Chapter 14 Yes, I fully agree!



Chapter 14 Yes, I fully agree!

The sky of the fairy boat is false.

Rain, snow, wind, frost, even day and night, all are controlled by the Wind and Rain Tower of the Earth Observation Department. It tries its best to simulate the normal schedule of a planet, but it is also different.

There are no stars in the night sky of Luofu.

The dim light in the sky blurs people’s perception of time—especially for me who has had a long sleep.

"How can it be early morning? It should be night!" I yelled, refusing to accept the possibility that I had slept for a whole day and night.

In response, Blade sneered, "Where do you think I got those dark circles under my eyes?"

......No wonder I had such a headache after waking up, it turns out I slept too much. I looked away sheepishly, then confirmed, "For cosplaying as a panda."

Blade clenched his fists and threatened me: "If you say that again, I'll turn you into a panda!"

Damn the threat of force! How can you just give in like this! In a rage, I pinched my arm hard and said with tears in my eyes: "Friend, are you going to kill me?"

Unmoved, Blade said coldly, "Yes, not only will I kill you, but Yan Qing will too."

Just cue "Yanqing"? I was stunned for a moment, then I realized that he was probably talking about the master-killing setting that I made up earlier, "Thousands of times?"

"That's right." Blade nodded calmly and said with great concentration, "Soon it will be the one thousand and first time, then the one thousand and second time, the one thousand and third time... Jing Yuan, you can't escape."

...Is this a little yandere? I looked at him in silence, but finally said with difficulty under his expectant gaze: "Okay."

Now it was Blade's turn to be speechless. He even remained silent for a moment before gritting his teeth and said, "I've said so much, and you only say one good thing?"

"What else?" I blinked innocently and opened my arms as if to hug. "You're welcome to kill me?"

"Blade" raised the Zhili in his hand eagerly and pointed it at me.

But now, Zhili is a sharp long sword after all, and not a prop used in comic exhibitions. He dare not get too close to the "blade", for fear that a shake of his hand would cause the sword to explode.

In the end, he could only withdraw his hand in frustration and said angrily, "Just wait!"

"Okay, I'll wait here." I responded in a good mood, but suddenly I heard a knock on the door.

Boom boom! The simple sound seemed to be knocking on my heart.

Question: How is the sound insulation of the rooms in Shen Ce Mansion? Waiting online, urgent!

...Forget it, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if the soundproofing is not good. Maybe the people who come are the Yunqi from last time. They even heard my cries for help, so it doesn't matter a little.

With such a desperate mentality, I stepped over the "blade" and opened the door. After seeing clearly who was outside, I gripped the door frame tightly, and then I felt a black screen before my eyes. I subconsciously slammed the door shut.

The "Blade" that was unable to see the person coming because its view was blocked by the door:?

Boom boom! There was another knock on the door, and the force was still not too strong, but I no longer had the courage to open it.

Unaware of what was going on, Blade opened the door and silently looked at the familiar figure outside: "...When did you arrive?"

"I just arrived." Jing Yuan smiled gently. Judging from his expression, he seemed not to have heard the conversation just now. Then, he raised the lunch box in his hand slightly as a gesture, "I received a message saying that he had woken up, so I brought some food with me."

! Wow, lifesaver!

I automatically ignored my doubts about whether Jingyuan heard our conversation just now and how much he had heard, and directly took the lunch box from him, put it on the table, and opened it layer by layer.

…I’m losing my highlights.

Why, why is it a medicinal diet! I want something sweet! Nice smell! Very spicy! Don’t eat light medicinal food!

I pushed the lunch box in front of "Blade" with a smug look, "Here, eat more."

"Blade" decisively lay down on the bed and said in a vague voice, "I'm going to sleep. Good night."

Damn it, even if I just slept for twenty-four hours, can’t I sleep for another twenty-four? !

Gulp—my stomach protested immediately.

Okay okay. I sat down, took out my chopsticks and started eating this hard-earned meal.

...I feel a little hungry. It’s not that this medicinal food is so unpalatable, but... Jingyuan, could you please not look at me while I eat it! !

"Do you have anything to say?" I put down my chopsticks and asked tactfully.

"Not yet." Jing Yuan showed his signature cat smile. If we were looking through the screen, I would definitely praise him for being so cute! But now that we're face to face, I just feel a little scared.

「Blade」Don’t sleep anymore, wake up! I have a bad feeling that the cat is plotting against me!

I cried out in my heart with no tears, but I could only pretend to be indifferent and continue eating.

When I had barely finished eating, Jing Yuan finally said, "I'm sorry about what happened yesterday."

The guilt in his tone was clearly discernible, as if this would not have happened if I had not gone to Shen Ce Mansion yesterday.

Or maybe he was simply apologizing on behalf of Dan Ding Si.

But no matter what the reason was, it was not Jingyuan's fault in the final analysis.

"Don't worry about it." I subconsciously poked the edge of the plate with my chopsticks, then quickly retracted them. "It's just a matter of getting a little more sleep."

It’s just a pity that “Blade” has endured for so long.

Wait, I suddenly remembered something! Does this count as absenteeism on my first day at work? And... "I remember Qing Dun said some official documents had to be completed yesterday?"

"Don't worry about it." Jing Yuan replied to me with the same words, "Qing Tu will find a way to solve it."

Really? I looked at him with some suspicion. The document that Qing Du specifically asked Jing Yuan to approve should have some permission settings or something, right?

Thinking about it this way, Qingdun’s solution would most likely involve pulling Jingyuan over to solve the problem.

...Why do I still feel a little guilty? No, no, that was Jingyuan’s job! Don’t do self-PUA!

I’ve decided that from now on I’ll treat Jing Yuan as an unscrupulous boss!

"Speaking of this, I learned some new information about the secret teachings of the King of Medicine today. It happened suddenly, so I have to invite you to help." Jing Yuan said politely.

I nodded immediately, then belatedly asked, "What's the matter?"

It’s really not my fault that I’m not firm! After all, no unscrupulous boss is so nice as to personally visit an employee with breakfast on his first day of sick leave and never mention the previous day's work.

"The doctor who prepared the medicine for you has been confirmed to be a remnant of the Medicine King's secret teachings. The extra three parts of extract were her test." When talking about business, Jing Yuan looked more serious. He continued meaningfully, "And yesterday, the Shen Ce Mansion summoned Bai Lu, and she already knew about it."

I suddenly realized, "So, you want me to lure her out and further crack down on the remnants of the Medicine King Secret?"

"No." Jing Yuan denied my guess without hesitation, "Such a risk should not be borne by you."

I had a vague feeling that something was wrong, or more precisely, a strong sense of crisis.

Before I could think about the cause of this crisis, I heard Jing Yuan decisively say, "So, I want to borrow your identity."

Phew, fortunately, the crisis is averted. I'm also afraid that Jingyuan will ask us to swap identities for a day, otherwise I won't be able to approve those documents.

If you just want to borrow my identity, "Of course, go ahead."

I have no burden about it. Anyway, we were originally undocumented people, and Jingyuan arranged some kind of identity for us, so that we can act normally in Luofu. Now that Jing Yuan wants to use this fake identity to attack the Medicine King's secret teachings, there is naturally no reason not to give it to him.

Seeing that Jing Yuan was about to leave, I immediately packed up the lunch box and buckled it up again, and asked with concern, "Will it still be medicinal food in the future?"

If you keep eating, I will perform a flying leap over the Shen Ce Palace right on the spot!

Jing Yuan shook his head and smiled, "This time it's just that you slept too long, Bai Lu was afraid that consuming stimulating foods after you woke up would have a bad effect, so she wrote a special 'prescription', and you can do whatever you want from now on."

Yay! Luofu snacks, here I come!

I glanced at the sleeping "Blade" and was about to go out to buy some food when I heard Jing Yuan say, "But I'm afraid it won't work today."

He picked up the lunch box with a smile and winked at me, "Now, I am Jingyuan."

......Aren’t you originally Jingyuan? I thought about it subconsciously, and then I realized that he was probably talking about "Jingyuan".

I watched him cross the threshold in a daze, and then I felt a real sense of losing my identity.

Especially before leaving, Jing Yuan specifically instructed, "During this period, please do not leave the Shen Ce Mansion. If you need anything else, you can send someone to notify Qing Tu."

Finally, he said goodbye in a relaxed manner that was totally inconsistent with his character: "That's it, see you tomorrow!"

I didn't recover from the shock until Jingyuan's back completely disappeared.

"Blade", who was lying on the bed and not asleep at all, sneered, "He is playing you."

"I know." I responded with some grief and indignation, "Does the image I present myself as that of a happy OOC person?"

Blade didn't comment on this, but stood up and patted my shoulder sympathetically, "Rather than this, you should worry about the fact that you are under house arrest."

House arrest? Saying this makes me seem very pitiful. I looked at him resentfully. "Just for one day. By the way, I want to eat the roots of the Shatann moa wings roasted with fruit wood."

Blade, who was ready to accept the offer, paused when he heard the name. "What?"

"Fruitwood roasted Shattan's moa wing roots." I repeated, trying not to laugh. "It's the one that adds 16 fire damage."

Blade, who basically doesn't take drugs: "......Okay, I'll give you one wing root. Anything else?"

"Yes!" I raised my hand eagerly, "Liulin Nectar!"

"Wine?" Blade looked at me disapprovingly.

"The alcohol content shouldn't be high, at least not like the Fiery Black Tea." I gestured at that little bit guiltily, then I realized something was wrong, "I'm a reliable adult!"

Blade was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of dismay, "If you say so, then so be it."

Five minutes after "Blade" left, when I was still idly fiddling with my phone, there was a knock on the door again.

Could there be so many guests in Shen Ce Mansion? I opened the door with great anxiety, only to find that there was no one outside.

There was no human figure anywhere, in the corners, corridors, or among the flowers. Even the cloud riders who were supposed to be guarding both sides of the Moon Cave Gate were nowhere to be seen.

Did you hear it wrong? No, it's not possible. I was very sure of this, so I took a few steps back and looked toward the roof.

There was no suspicious figure on the roof either, only the shadow of the willow branches swaying in the wind in the peripheral light.

What kind of a ghost storyline is this? There can’t be another water ghost popping up soon, right? I stared at the pond in front of me and thought about it. I felt a little cold. I quickly returned to the room, closed the door, and walked to the head of the bed.

I remember that when I woke up, there were two sets of casual clothes placed at the head of the bed. I don’t know who brought them, so I didn’t have to wear the same clothes as Jingyuan.

I changed my clothes and looked at the pure white color hesitantly again.

This is so scary. Will I really not get beaten if I go out in the middle of the night like this? Besides, what if you accidentally get oil splashed on your food while eating!

I looked at the clothes on my body with great sorrow, but chose to give up thinking because of their comfort.

I folded my damaged cosplay costume, but suddenly my back stiffened.

...It seems like someone is watching me.

Intruder? I lowered my head and searched for something that could be used as a weapon within my sight, and finally grabbed the removed shoulder armor tightly.

I don't have any weapons at hand. The only way to win is to use this shoulder armor to smash him to pieces. But I think the possibility of this is very slim considering my strength.

But the reality doesn't leave me any other choice. The sense of crisis is growing, almost reaching a panic-inducing level.

bite! The moment I turned around, a sword appeared in front of me, blocking the dagger thrown by the assassin.

"Throwing a stone to test the water and making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, this tactic is quite effective." Jing Yuan walked up to me calmly and made a seemingly casual move with his knife, which actually filled the last loophole for possible attack.

"You knew it a long time ago?" The masked assassin spoke vaguely, but it was vaguely audible that it was a female voice.

She seemed to know that she couldn't survive any longer, so she just wanted to die with a clear mind. At this last moment, she gave up all actions and just asked, "This operation was planned by me. I am the only one who knows the complete plan. I have also been observing the manpower for a long time. How did you know?"

"This is not difficult to guess." Jing Yuan said easily, "You dispatched people to cause riots in many places in Changletian, forcing the Cloud Cavalry in Shen Ce Mansion to leave. From this point alone, it is obvious, don't you think?"

The assassin still refused to give up: "But you should have..."

"Left a long time ago?" Jing Yuan's gilded eyes revealed a trace of barely perceptible disgust, but he just chuckled and said meaningfully, "Are you so sure that this news is true?"

The assassin clenched the dagger in his hand and gritted his teeth, "Damn Dragon Master, I knew they had bad intentions!"

Because of her words, I poked my head out from behind Jing Yuan, looked at the assassin and made an analysis: She acted cautiously and had enough patience, her status in the Secret Biography of the King of Medicine should not be too low, or she may have a certain leadership charisma. But she is not very sensitive to current affairs, otherwise she would not have said such a thing.

Master Long is indeed damnable and has bad intentions. They may not think that the secret teachings of the King of Medicine can solve the problem of General Luofu, but they are definitely willing to add trouble and pressure to Jing Yuan, so the information provided by Master Long will not be deliberately deceptive.

The only possibility is that Jing Yuan deceived everyone and even successfully provoked the assassin to reveal his source of information with these words.

The cloud riders surrounding him from outside confirmed the assassin's fate. She laughed at herself, her voice gradually becoming more crazy, and finally her eyes fixed on me, saying viciously: "It doesn't matter that I failed to get rid of you today, but it doesn't matter, we still have thousands of compatriots. Jing Yuan, you can't escape."

After saying that, her body fell down limply, blood seeping through the black cloth and soaking the floor, her lifeless eyes were still looking in my direction.

Bleeding from all seven orifices, probably suicide by taking poison.

Although this scene is indeed very powerful, all that remains in my mind now is her last words before she died.

"Jingyuan, you can't escape."

......Why do you say things that sound exactly like "Blade"! If I hadn't known that "Blade" had just left not long ago, I would have suspected that this guy was "Blade" in disguise.

...It should be impossible, right? I walked a little closer beyond Jing Yuan's protection range, then squatted down and looked carefully at the corpse on the ground.

Well, she doesn't have dark circles under her eyes, so it's definitely not the "Blade"!
