Upon hearing this, Zhou Yingxuan's expression froze instantly: "Yan Yan, have you been dreaming all these past few days without waking up?"
“Brother Xuan, believe me, that wasn’t an ordinary dream. In the dream, a deity told me that your identity is extraordinary and that your destiny can only be unlocked on the border battlefield,” Lin Shuyan explained anxiously.
"Brother Xuan, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have stopped you."
Seeing that Zhou Yingxuan remained unmoved, Lin Shuyan almost revealed that he was a prince, but fortunately the system stopped her.
"Yan Yan, do you really want me to go?"
For some reason, Zhou Yingxuan felt that he couldn't refuse Lin Shuyan's requests when they met her eyes.
"Yes, Brother Xuan, I'll be waiting for you to come back in the village!" Lin Shuyan nodded hurriedly.
After pondering for a while, Zhou Yingxuan finally nodded in agreement. He said that if he went now, he should be able to catch up with the yamen's procession in less than ten days.
That can be considered fulfilling the promise he made to Jiang Hua.
After seeing Zhou Yingxuan off, Lin Shuyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That night, her mind felt like it was about to explode, she was in excruciating pain, and then she lost consciousness and fainted.
During the days I was unconscious, I lay in bed, fully conscious, but unable to open my eyes, and many strange memories flooded my mind.
Just as she was racking her brains trying to figure it out, a voice appeared in her mind, saying that it was a system, a system that belonged to her.
The system told her that she and Xuan-gege were destined to be together, and that she was the female lead of this world, while Jiang Hua's appearance was meant to steal everything from her.
Although she didn't know who the female lead was, she felt that the system was right about one thing: Jiang Hua had stolen her Xuan-gege!
The system said that Xuan-gege's identity is that of a prince, and he may become the crown prince in the future. If she gets together with Xuan-gege, she will be the future crown princess.
She absolutely cannot let Jiang Hua take away everything that belongs to her.
That's the right way to think about it. This system finally managed to get rid of Jiang Hua and return to you.
Jiang Hua shouldn't even be alive in the first place. It's because she's alive that this situation has arisen. As long as she lives, what belongs to you will be taken away by her.
"System, you'll help me, right?"
Faced with the dog system's patient persuasion, Lin Shuyan had completely come to believe it.
Of course, as long as you do as I say, you will get everything you want.
...
Jiang Hua was completely unaware that the system had been re-bound to Lin Shuyan; at the moment, she was inspecting the factory.
It's already half-built, and Shen Qingchuan has also sent a letter saying that his men are almost at Qingshi Town.
In the evening, after dinner, Jiang Hua asked Shuanghua, who was following behind her, to step back. Looking at the calm artificial lake, several koi carp swam around.
"You've been watching from here for so many days, when do you plan to show yourself?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a gust of wind swept by, and two women flipped down from the roof and stood behind her.
"Who sent you?" Jiang Hua turned around and looked at the two identical people. Their clothes reminded her of the Miao region.
"Master, it smells so good! Gu worms, so nourishing!" The little white snake fluttered happily in the spiritual spring, trying to get out.
Gu worms?
Jiang Hua took a step back without making a sound.
"Ye Shaoling is offering money to buy your life." One of the women played with the silver bell on her body, then turned over and sat on the stone table, crossing her legs.
"So what about now?" Jiang Hua raised an eyebrow. Are assassins these days so direct?
"We've already poisoned you with a curse, and we're just waiting for the poison to take effect and you to die, then we'll go back and report."
Poison?
When did this happen? How come she didn't feel anything?
[It was me. I ate the Gu worms on your body, that's why you didn't feel anything.]
"Let me out, Master! I'm hungry! They have so much delicious food on them!"
"When will I die from the poison?" Jiang Hua put her hand behind her back and quietly released the little white snake.
"When?" The woman sitting at the stone table was taken aback and looked at the woman with the exact same face as her, asking, "Sister, judging by the time, her body should be cold by now, right?"
"You're not under the influence of the curse!" He suddenly looked at Jiang Hua and said with certainty.
Jiang Hua slowly sat down, and the little white snake immediately crawled up from under the table and wrapped itself around Jiang Hua's arm.
"Ah—!" The woman sitting on the table was startled and immediately hid behind her sister.
For some reason, both of them had an innate fear of the little white snake in front of them.
Who exactly are you?
"If you ask me who I am, shouldn't you tell me your identities?" Jiang Hua gently stroked the small white snake wrapped around her hand.
"We're from the Gu Clan. She's my older sister, Qingling, and I'm Qingyue," Qingyue said irritably.
"Just who are you, this master?"
Qingyue had witnessed Jiang Hua's skills firsthand, and they were completely different from what Ye Shaoling had told them.
It's a loss, a losing proposition!
With skills like that, you only charge three thousand taels of silver? You should raise the price for the common people!
"Didn't Ye Shaoling tell you?" Jiang Hua chuckled and countered, "How much silver did he offer to kill me?"
"Five thousand taels!"
"Oh! Then do as you please." Jiang Hua replied indifferently, then got up to go back to her room.
Qingyue watched helplessly as Jiang Hua returned to her room.
"Sister, then we won't kill her?"
"You think you can beat him?" Qingling's cold voice rang out.
This was the first time she had spoken since she appeared in this courtyard. Although the two sisters looked exactly alike, one was approachable and the other had a cold face and kept people at arm's length.
Qingyue fell silent. Compared to Jiang Hua's skills she had witnessed two days ago, she was truly no match for her. They came from the Gu Sect and had been dealing with Gu poison since childhood. The martial arts they learned were all capable of saving their lives in critical moments.
Normally, he kills people by secretly using Gu poison, but if it really comes down to a head-on confrontation, especially against Jiang Hua, his chances of winning are not very high.
"So what do we do now?"
"Anyway, we didn't take any money, so why bother with all this?" Qingling said calmly. She left the Gu Sect only to do something the sect leader had asked her to do: find someone. Running into Ye Shaoling was just a coincidence.
"Shall we continue sleeping in the tree tonight?" Qingyue stretched, her back aching from sleeping in the tree for several days.
"Ladies, there are side rooms in the second courtyard, and the bedding has already been laid out. Please follow me," Shuanghua said, bowing slightly as she approached.
"Did your master ask you to prepare this?" Qingyue looked at Shuanghua curiously, and Shuanghua nodded somewhat fearfully.
"Aren't you going back?" Jiang Hua looked at the little white snake lying beside her bed. Was this guy not planning to go back to the space?
I need to stay here to protect you. What if those two try to harm you?
