Chapter 32: Evil Grudge 6 “May she be safe, and may she never do that for him again…”
The person being hung had his neck supported, and his head hung very low, resting completely on his frail neck without any support, as if he was deader than dead.
He hadn't heard a human voice for a long time, and it was as if he no longer understood human language. He didn't respond when he was called. Suddenly, he heard the word "Mu Ye". His whole body shuddered, and his mind gradually became clear. His neck was pulling his head heavy, and he slowly raised his head with great effort.
Although he forced himself to look up, his eyes were not focused and he could only see two blurry figures floating in front of him.
He spat out a mouthful of blood foam and said with a vague smile: "Bastard, you are a bastard who is not worthy of being on the stage."
Ji Lingche was scolded for no reason and clapped his hands: "Hey, hey, look carefully before scolding, okay?"
He seemed not to have heard these words, his head slowly drooping in exhaustion. At this time, Qu Wuji suddenly said, "Young Master Mu, before I entered the city, I was asked by someone to look for you."
Ji Lingche thought to himself: Why is this person so popular? Everyone is looking for him.
Qu Wuji: "Remember Qi Xiangwan, Young Master Mu——"
"Your first wife."
The voice took a long time to reach his ears, then slowly passed through his mind. He murmured and repeated: "Qi...Qi Xiangwan?"
"Qi Xiangwan!"
His three souls and seven spirits suddenly returned to their places, and he finally woke up. He raised his head suddenly, and the iron chains that bound him shook violently.
His voice was hoarse: "How is Wanwan? Did she ask you to look for me? You..."
Qu Wuji's tone was cold and unequivocal: "Qi Xiangwan died many years ago, don't you remember?"
Mu Ye was stunned, his eyes wide open, two bloody tears winding down, leaving bright red marks on his pale face. He screamed like crazy, and the iron chains kept rattling: "You are lying to me, it's impossible! You must be lying to me! ! ..."
Ji Lingche frowned and asked Qu Wuji, "Who asked you to find him?"
Qu Wuji: "Qi Fengyuan."
Ji Lingche was stunned: "Zhuoying Villa, Qi Junwu?"
Speaking of Qi Fengyuan, she suddenly remembered many things.
She remembered that the fruit trees in Zhuoying Villa grew particularly well at that time and never withered all year round. When they were in full bloom, they were almost comparable to the peach trees in Guangyao Peak. When she was a teenager, she would go to steal fruits whenever she had free time. Qi Fengyuan was a man with a strange temper. He had nothing to do on weekdays, so he just guarded his fruit trees. He always caught Ji Lingche red-handed. Relying on his age, he acted like a teacher and scolded her.
Ji Lingche was extremely proud at that time, and would not allow herself to be bullied. Qi Fengyuan scolded her a few words, and she got angry. She burned all the trees on the mountain at night. The immortal trees that had been nurtured for thousands and tens of thousands of years were burned to the ground, and were completely destroyed.
But Qi Fengyuan turned out to be a rogue who didn't care about her face at all. She went straight to Xiaoyao Gate and pulled her master's collar to demand an explanation. She was so old but she threw a tantrum in the court, taking advantage of her seniority and claiming that if she didn't see the fruit tree grow back overnight, she would kill herself in front of your mountain gate!
Qi Fengyuan had a close personal relationship with her master, Xiao Qinmian. Ji Lingche was scolded and had no choice but to carry a hoe and plant trees for him for half a year...
As a result, one thing led to another, and a lot of troubles were caused -
For the past six months, Qi Fengyuan had watched her closely, forbidding her to use any magic. He even insisted, "Trees are the most spiritual! You must do it yourself. How can you be sneaky and use magic?" The more sincere you are to it, the better it will grow! Dig the soil one shovel at a time, plant the tree one seed at a time. If you use magic, it won't grow tall."
Ji Lingche had been digging for half a year, shoveling away, and had only planted less than one-tenth of the soil. The old man kept nagging in her ear, sometimes saying this shovel was too heavy, sometimes saying that that shovel didn't cover the soil tightly enough...
Ji Lingche gnashed his teeth and said, "Old man, if you say another word of nonsense, I will pull out every hair of your beard!"
Qi Fengyuan stroked his beard and said, "Okay, I'll go talk to your master. If he doesn't care, I'll kill myself."
Sacrificing Lingche: "..."
She had been working for him for half a year, and although the trees she had planted were less than one tenth of the original number, she had done her utmost. Just as she was about to leave, Qi Fengyuan came to her door. She was about to curse him, but paused.
Qi Fengyuan was injured and his face was terribly gloomy, with no trace of joking in his eyes. He was completely different from the person who was throwing a tantrum at her.
He said bluntly, "If you do me a favor, I won't need you to plant the trees anymore, and our relationship is over."
Ji Lingche smiled and said, "Old man, I've been at your service for half a year, that's enough. Don't push me too far."
Qi Fengyuan: "I know you want Phoenix Blood. I can help you break the formation, and you go and steal the forbidden weapon."
Ji Lingche paused: "Oh? You know quite a lot - what do you want me to do for you?
Qi Fengyuan: "When you steal the Phoenix blood, it will be easy for you to kill Yin Pei for me."
Ji Lingche hissed, "Why don't you do it yourself?"
Qi Fengyuan: "I can't kill him, but you can."
Ji Lingche narrowed his eyes: "Yin Pei... is the new head of the Yunzhong Yin family? Why do you want to kill him——"
etc……
Ji Lingche suddenly thought of something and frowned, "Old man, you are such a bad person. I vaguely remember that Yin Pei is your son-in-law, right?"
Qi Fengyuan snorted coldly: "That's right, that's why I want to kill him."
Ji Lingche has never been bothered to gossip about the love-hate relationship between these noble families, and she doesn't want to get involved. Although she must get the Yin family's phoenix blood, killing Yin Pei for this is too high a price to pay.
She simply said, "I'm sorry, Senior Qi. If I kill the head of the Yin family, I'm afraid I'll be wanted by the Immortal Alliance the next day. I already have enough troubles, so I'm sorry I can't help you."
After saying that, she turned and left, but when she opened the door, she bumped into a woman.
The woman looked at her in panic with one eye as bright as autumn water. The other eye was covered with a white veil, and it oozed blood as she moved. It was unclear whether she was blind or not. There was not an inch of exposed skin left. She was almost covered with bruises.
There was a large amount of blood on the woman's body. Upon closer inspection, I saw that she was holding a little girl about ten years old in her arms. A long dagger was suddenly stuck in the child's chest, and blood was gushing out.
She didn't want to intervene, but for some reason she stopped and frowned, "What's going on?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to grasp the dagger on the child's chest, and while infusing spiritual power into it, he pulled it out. This frightened the woman greatly, and she hurriedly said, "Please, fairy, don't pull it out, otherwise..."
Qi Fengyuan also followed out at this time and hurriedly said to the woman: "Shen'er, it's okay, this little fairy has magical powers."
Ji Lingche's expression remained cold. She knew that these people were flattering her, but this girl was really pitiful. The long dagger on her chest was stabbed straight out from her back. Qi Fengyuan had no ability to save her. If she didn't take action, the child would surely die.
As she slowly pulled out the dagger, she asked the woman, "Is this your daughter, Yin Pei's child?"
The woman burst into tears, unable to utter a single word for a long time. Ji Lingche understood and continued, "The wounds on your body and this knife were all caused by him?"
The Yunzhong Yin family has always been known for their extraordinary talents and tyranny and cruelty. They are prone to producing mental illnesses, and they are so perverted and vicious that even Ji Lingche would sigh that they are insane.
The woman suddenly said, "He was the one who injured me, but this child—"
Before he could finish, he burst into tears.
Ji Lingche couldn't help but look up at her and frowned, "What?"
Qi Fengyuan spoke on behalf of his daughter, "Why do you think Yin Pei let them come back? That bastard told my daughter, 'You can leave if you want, but don't even think about taking the Yin family's bloodline with you!' My daughter couldn't bear to part with this child, so she endured it silently..."
He reached out and stroked the child's sweat-soaked forehead, tears already glistening in his eyes: "My poor granddaughter, she looks weak, but at such a young age, she has such integrity..."
It turned out that the child could no longer bear to see his father go crazy and beat his mother, so he desperately protected his mother. This angered Yin Pei, who called her a "little bastard" with a wicked attitude. However, the child straightened his back and said, "You are not worthy of being a father!"
Yin Pei was furious and said, "Your Qi family's filthy bloodline has truly defiled me. I don't even have a bastard daughter like you! But I gave you your life, don't you deny me?! You little bastard, give me back your life!"
The child pulled out a long dagger from the rack and cried, "I'll give it back to you. From now on, my mother and you will have nothing to do with each other."
After saying that, the dagger, the white knife went in, and the red knife came out.
After hearing this, Ji Lingche had just pulled out the long dagger completely. She gently pressed the wound on the child's chest, but didn't know what to say.
She urged her spiritual power to flow through every meridian of the child, piecing together the broken organs bit by bit. What she could feel was that the child's meridians were extremely ordinary, and there was almost no possibility of him forming a pill in this lifetime.
Why does Yin Pei keep insulting this child's bloodline? Perhaps she inherited her mother's mediocrity?
As far as she knew, the Yin family in Yunzhong had been marrying within the clan for hundreds of years, even marrying brothers and sisters. As a result, countless mentally ill people were born. It was not until recent decades that they began to marry outside the clan. It was obvious that the Yin family had a perverted pursuit of bloodline.
Ji Lingche suddenly thought of taking this child as his disciple.
But then he changed his mind and thought that he was in trouble and might bring disaster to the child, so he gave up the idea.
She slowly raised her hand and said calmly, "Okay, she's fine."
"Senior Qi, although I sympathize with your daughter and granddaughter, I still cannot help you kill your son-in-law. Please forgive me."
She took off a silver ring from her wrist and put it on the girl's hand: "May she be safe and may she never shed blood and tears for others again."
The woman was stunned. Looking at the bracelet on her daughter's hand with flowing spiritual light, she knew that this thing was nurtured by Ji Lingche with his own blood and energy, and he would not give it to others easily. She was stunned for a moment and thanked him incoherently.
Ji Lingche smiled slightly: "Sister Qi, you will have a good life from now on."
After she finished speaking, she turned to leave, but was suddenly grabbed by Qi Fengyuan's wrist: "I, Qi, will be grateful to you for the rest of my life."
Ji Lingche smiled and said, "Come on, stop dragging me into planting trees. I should be thankful."
Qi Fengyuan: "Since you saved her, I will help you get the Phoenix Blood. I will see you in the clouds at midnight three days later."
Ji Lingche narrowed his eyes and looked at him, curling the corners of his lips: "Thank you very much, Senior Qi."
As for what kind of accident happened on the day he stole the phoenix blood, why was Ji Lingche forced to kill over a hundred Yin clan guards? And how was he captured by the young Qu Wuji, then the Immortal Overlord, and taken to the Immortal Binding Pagoda in Taihua Yuxu?
That’s another story.
Ji Lingche thought that her reputation had been ruined step by step since then.
Now that she had come to her senses, she looked at Mu Ye who was hanging in front of her, and felt that the world was unpredictable and life was so sad.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a tiny flash of light, and Ji Lingche was stunned -
She saw clearly that the coin on Mu Ye's wrist was the same silver coin she had given to the girl many years ago.
Linghu Jin's words echoed in her ears word for word: "Mu Ye? The lunatic who chopped off his pregnant wife's hands and feet and stuffed her into a closet?!"
Chop off his wife's hands and feet...
Ji Lingche's hair suddenly stood on end.
"May she be safe, and may she never shed blood and tears for others again."
——She said the blessing herself, but now it has become the biggest joke.
