"Your Highness, the real murderer has been found." Yun Qi saluted.
The man called "Your Highness" was wearing a black python robe, a hollow carved golden crown to hold his hair together, a top-grade jade pendant hanging from his waist, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and an extraordinary bearing. His dark and deep eyes emitted bursts of coldness.
His voice was low, "Who is it?"
"She is..." Yunqi looked very embarrassed.
The man glanced over and said, "Hurry up and tell me."
Forget it, just throw the jar away.
After making up his mind, Yun Qi looked away.
In addition to the two of them, there was another woman next to them. The woman was wearing a snow-white corset, with her long hair tied up and pinned with an emerald green hairpin. Her skin was as white as snow, and she looked as cool and pure as a lotus flower emerging from the water, seemingly out of reach.
Seeing Yunqi looking at her, her expression remained calm, as if she had guessed something.
Seeing that she didn't care, what difference would it make if she said it? So Yun Qi said directly: "Yes... Miss Xu."
"What?"
The man looked at Xu Qingchi in disbelief, hoping that she could give him an explanation, but she didn't. Xu Qingchi looked away and didn't look at him again until a long time later.
"It's me."
Yun Qi immediately put three exclamation marks in his heart. Should he leave now? If he didn’t leave, would he have to watch their love drama?
Yun Qi looked around calmly. It was indeed inappropriate to stay here, but he was at best just a subordinate of Ling Junyan. It would not be appropriate for him to leave without his permission.
I realized that I was just a "supporting role" a few days ago. That night, there was a loud thunder and a flash of lightning lit up half the sky. I was awakened instantly, and then I knew it. Even some of my concepts changed. To be honest, it was very confusing, and I suddenly wanted to get rid of it.
"Ling Junyan, kill me, otherwise, I will kill you too." Xu Qingchi spoke sharply, showing no fear towards the person in front of him.
Ling Junyan changed his usual decisiveness and murderous attitude. There was a hint of heartache in his eyes. He slowly approached Xu Qingchi and wanted to touch her face, but Xu Qingchi ruthlessly avoided him.
If he had discovered this at any other time, she would have been killed by his sword. As expected, the heroine had to be the one. Yun Qi shook his head with emotion and decided to watch the whole show.
"No matter what you did, I will forgive you, including taking my life."
Tsk tsk tsk, why didn’t I realize this before? This is so… Yun Qi continued to think in his mind.
Xu Qingchi on the other side had already been moved by him, her eyes slightly red, looking at him lovingly, but her inherent arrogance made her still keep a distance from Ling Junyan.
"But... I am the daughter of a criminal."
The sudden confession shocked everyone else, including Ling Junyan and... Yun Qi.
??? Is there anyone here...
Ling Junyan was shocked, but he only frowned in shock, while Yun Qi was indeed frightened. Why don’t we hide it from someone?
Yun Qi suddenly felt something was wrong and was about to run away. As soon as he turned around, a sharp sword pierced his back. Yun Qi looked down in a daze at the sword head that had pierced his abdomen and was still dripping with blood.
The next second, Ling Junyan pulled out the sword, and blood splattered all around.
A strong pain suddenly swept through his body. As blood continued to flow out, Yun Qi became unconscious and fell to the ground powerlessly, with blood gushing out of his throat from the bottom to the top.
"I don't care." Ling Junyan said this to Xu Qingchi before he turned around.
"What do you think?" You don't care. Lying on the ground, Yun Qi thought back on his life. It was truly tragic. Before he knew about the male and female protagonists, he had always been loyal. Even if his behavior had changed since then, it wouldn't be... so cruel. After all, he had never considered betrayal.
"He's been with you for so many years, how could you have the heart to kill him?" Xu Qingchi finally had some conscience and asked.
"For you, even if I kill everyone in the world, what does it matter?"
Yun Qi snorted inwardly, as if speaking on behalf of his former loyal self, filled with grief and indignation, and cursed in a trembling voice, "Hypocrite."
Ling Junyan looked at him coldly and put away his sword.
He turned around and walked to Xu Qingchi, picked her up in one go, and Xu Qingchi hugged his neck in panic. Ling Junyan smiled at her and walked out with big strides.
The only person left in the cave was the dying Yun Qi.
It turns out that he is so decisive in killing...
Yun Qi looked towards the sunny spot. It was quite warm. So be it. It was finally part of the play between the male and female protagonists. Play? What word is this? Yun Qi felt very sleepy. Without time to think carefully, he fainted.
"Drink, drink, ah ah ah ~ I love drinking, huh? Why is there someone lying here, is he drunk?"
The drunkard, with disheveled clothes and messy hair, staggered towards him.
"Ouch! Blood, blood!"
He immediately pretended to run to the side, holding the wine jug tightly, and looked over here cautiously, "Oh, that's really pitiful."
Although he acted scared, he eventually moved back.
"Ah, originally, this matter... the immortal wouldn't care, but you're standing at my doorstep. Don't tell me if it's irritating. Even if I'm casual, it's still a bit unlucky. At worst, you can pay for the wine from now on. Yeah, I agree, okay."
The drunkard kept talking to himself, not caring whether there was any response or not.
He put the wine flask aside and gently pressed his finger near Yun Qi's wound, sighing, "How cruel! If you hadn't met me, the Great Immortal, you would definitely have died."
After saying that, he took out a pill from somewhere and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
He was talking incoherently, as if he was chanting some spell, and it seemed quite realistic.
Finally, Yun Qi showed some reaction, turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood. The drunkard sighed, "It's quite troublesome."
After an unknown amount of time, Yun Qi felt pain again. The reason was that he accidentally moved while unconscious and pulled the wound. The pain made his brows twisted together. He opened his eyes the next second, and cold sweat still remained on his forehead and refused to disappear.
I thought I was doomed, but when I saw this familiar scene, I realized I was so lucky. I was unconscious for a while, and even the time didn't change.
"Don't think about it, it's already the next day."
Only then did Yunqi notice that there was someone on his head, and the drunkard could tell what he was thinking at a glance.
"You saved me?"
"Is there anyone else besides me?"
"Wow, what a miracle doctor!"
"Are you in such good spirits?" The drunkard hadn't expected to be strangled, and he was still praising others after just waking up. "Then you're right. I'm indeed a miracle doctor, but remember to pay the medical bills."
"Medical expenses?"
"Yeah, wine, I agreed to that at the time."
"Really?"
"Yes, at that time I could see that your desire to survive was particularly...strong. Even when you were confused, you spoke very clearly and said: Don't worry, Great Immortal, as long as you save me, I will pay for all your drinking from now on!" The drunkard looked at him with a sincere face.
The corners of Yun Qi's mouth twitched. This was definitely not something he could say, absolutely!
But it was a life-saving favor after all. Wine is fine, but I really can't afford anything else. After all, I might be penniless in the future.
So he agreed, "No problem!"
The drunkard only cared about wine, so of course I was happy when I agreed to his request. He grinned for a long time.
Later, I thought about asking, "You are in such a miserable state, are you being pursued by your enemies?"
Yun Qi thought that this was almost the same as an enemy, so he said "hmm".
"Then do you still want to go back for revenge?"
"No, no." Yun Qi answered without even thinking. "What's there to repay? With that halo on their heads, I can't defeat them, but I'm lucky to be alive."
Yun Qi didn't care whether he could understand or not, and just kept talking to himself. The drunkard didn't find it strange at all, "Well, that's right. There's no need to take revenge. Just live a good life. When you get better, remember to buy some wine and send it here. I'm going on a journey."
"Ah? Just leave now."
"Life is a journey you can embark on at any time. Stay put and remember to clean up when you leave."
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared.
It was amazing! Yun Qi immediately felt that this person must be a master, even though his words were strange. At this time, Yun Qi carefully felt his heart. The sadness was gone, and there was only the joy of being reborn. Maybe it was only temporary, but at this point, he should always look forward.
After the injury healed, it wasn't that great, but that drunkard didn't leave any food for me, so if I stayed any longer I would probably have lost some weight.
He quickly cleaned up, met his own hygiene standards, and left.
We agreed to buy wine first, no, make money first, no, eat first...
After he had walked for about an incense stick's time, Ling Junyan arrived here in a panic. Looking at the empty cave, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he felt as if he had lost something.
He felt a wave of pain in his heart that he had never felt before, as if this should not have happened to him.
This time, he really regretted it.
