Chapter 128 The Script Is Wrong
The main hall was filled with aromas, and plates of exquisite dishes exuded an enticing luster, but the two men's minds were not on these delicacies.
"Wei, Master Wei, you mean..."
"Yes, I do have a way to remove the scars on your face."
Wei Changtian nodded and gently put down his chopsticks.
This is indeed not difficult for him, and he can even do it now if he is willing.
[Hundred-year-old Blood-draining Fruit: Spiritual Medicine (Earth Level), crush and apply, can heal all external injuries in one breath, 50 points]
Compared to the mica mushroom that "can cure all diseases", this blood-draining fruit is much less effective, but it is also much cheaper.
But no matter how cheap it is, it is impossible to pay for nothing, and as for what Wei Changtian wants to get from Ning Yuke. "Mr. Wei, what do you want me to do?!"
Ning Yuke leaned forward slightly and her breathing became a little rapid.
Wei Changtian thought that women were willing to pay any price to become beautiful, and replied:
"I want you to go to a place and get something for me."
"Where are you going? What are you going to get?"
"I can't tell you this yet, but..."
Wei Changtian hesitated for a moment and continued, "But this matter may be a little dangerous."
"Danger?"
"Um."
Wei Changtian nodded, looked directly at Ning Yuke and said word by word: "Maybe he will die."
“.”
Ning Yuke was speechless for a moment, and Wei Changtian did not urge her, but just continued to finish his words.
"You won't necessarily die. In fact, there's about a 90% chance that you'll be safe and sound."
"There is no rush for this matter. Princess, you can think about it for a few days and tell me when you have thought it through."
"And as long as Princess agrees, I will help you remove the scar immediately."
“.”
After Wei Changtian finished speaking, he picked up his chopsticks again and started eating, without any guilt for "taking advantage of someone's misfortune".
I had no obligation to help Ning Yuke, and now I have explained the pros and cons to her clearly. Even if Ning Yuke really died because of this, it was her own choice.
At least I didn't lie to her.
Time passed by little by little, and Ning Yuke just sat there blankly. It was not until Wei Changtian almost finished his bowl of rice that she gently said, "Master Wei, can I ask you a question?"
"Ask."
Wei Changtian nodded, already roughly guessing what Ning Yuke wanted to ask.
It must be something like "Why do I have to get that thing?", "What exactly is the danger?"
But he guessed wrong this time.
Ning Yuke did not ask any of the questions Wei Changtian expected, but lowered her eyes and said softly: "Master Wei, is that thing important to you?"
“.”
Wei Changtian's eyes froze for a long while before he slowly answered.
"Yes, it is very important."
"That"
Ning Yuke raised her head and gave the answer in a low but affirmative voice.
"I promise."
At the hour of Xu, in the south of Shuzhou City, Fuyanfang.
Today is the first day of November, which is not actually a festival, but the entire Fuyanfang is decorated with lights and is very lively.
This is a tradition unique to Shuzhou.
In the early years, most farmers in Shuzhou would go to the city to sell grain in late October and early November. If it was a year with a good harvest and they made more money, they would spend it in the city.
Buy some cloth for your family to make new clothes, buy some cheap jewelry for your wife, and go to a brothel to reward yourself. It feels a bit like the "Double Eleven" in your previous life.
Since Fuyanfang is the "commercial and entertainment center" of Shuzhou City, the grain harvest can be predicted by simply looking at how busy Fuyanfang is during this period of time.
Later, the government simply decided to hold a lantern festival in Fuyanfang on the first day of November every year, in order to pray for a good omen of "good weather and good harvests".
Although it is a lantern festival, it is actually similar to a temple fair. There are stalls selling all kinds of snacks, men performing with swords and guns, and charlatans who tell fortunes for people.
Wei Changtian was not very interested in this and felt a little bored after walking around for a while.
However, Ning Yuke looked very interested. Her eyes exposed outside the veil kept looking around, as if she found everything interesting.
I guess it’s because I don’t go out much.
"Miss Yu Ke."
After walking for a while, Wei Changtian turned to Ning Yuke and said, "There is a teahouse in front. Let's go in and take a rest."
Because they were outside, he did not call Ning Yuke "Princess", and Ning Yuke seemed to like this more intimate name, smiling and nodding in response:
"Well, there just so happens to be some lantern riddles over there. How about I compete with you to see who can guess more?"
"I don't know how to guess riddles."
Wei Changtian shook his head honestly, thinking that apart from reciting poems, he could also guess some riddles.
However, Ning Yuke thought he was just being modest, so she quickly pulled him into the teahouse and stood in front of a row of colorful lanterns.
There weren't many people around, only a few young men and women in elegant clothes frowning and thinking hard.
I guess the riddles here are quite difficult and most people can’t guess them.
Isn't this forcing someone to do something they are not prepared for? Wei Changtian touched his nose and looked helplessly at the small piece of paper hanging under a yellow lantern in front of him.
[There are less than one thousand on the left, and more than ten thousand on the right]
What is this?
There is no doubt that the first question stumped Wei Changtian, but Ning Yuke only thought about it for four or five breaths before walking towards the next lantern with a smile.
Boy, did you guess it?!
Wei Changtian suddenly felt that his IQ was insulted, so he also started to compete with the riddle, still standing there thinking hard.
Look at the meaning of the question. This character should be a left-right structure, and the left part has fewer strokes than the character "千", and the right part has more strokes than the character "万".
Well. Although he knew the idea, he still couldn't guess it after thinking for a long time. When he looked up again, he found that Ning Yuke had already walked to the fifth riddle.
Forget it. I give up.
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian prepared to find a place to sit down and wait for a while.
But at this moment, he saw a young man approaching Ning Yuke, bowing and saying something.
It should be a pick-up.
After all, although Ning Yuke was wearing a veil, her overall temperament was still impeccable.
I don’t know if this young man would be frightened if Ning Yuke suddenly took off her veil.
Wei Changtian curled his lips and walked over there while a bunch of "classic" scenes emerged in his mind.
For example, a young master ordered his guards to beat him up, but he ended up killing them instead.
For example, a young man wanted to compete with me in literary talent, but I ended up shocking everyone with a good poem.
If I were to recite a poem later, which one would I choose? Xin Qiji's "Qingyu'an Lantern Festival" is a good choice, and it fits the occasion.
I searched for him everywhere, and when I turned around, he was there, in the dimly lit place. Didn't this make Ning Yuke faint? !
"Prince Wei"
When Ning Yuke's voice reached his ears, Wei Changtian came back to his senses from his "beautiful imagination". He raised his eyes and looked towards the young man, ready to start showing off after he said something rude.
But who would have thought that the young man just glanced at him, then hurriedly bowed his head and apologized: "Ah! I didn't know this girl came with you, my dear brothers. I'm sorry for the offense, please forgive me!"
Wei Changtian: “???”
What's going on?
This shouldn’t be the script!
