Chapter 444: Accidental Killing
After watching the sunrise, Sang Wan took Nanxing back to the inn, and the two went back to sleep.
I got up and washed when the sun was almost high in the sky.
Nan Xing looked at the beautiful hairpins in the package and sighed, "When can I wear these hairpins after spending all day in the Monster Hunting Temple?"
"After the Demon-Slaying Festival, I will teach Wan Tan the Soul-Slaying Sword, and I will take you away from here."
Nanxing's hand holding the hairpin paused, and she looked at the man standing beside her in disbelief.
Seeing her mouth wide open in surprise, Sang Wan used his fingertips to close her mouth, and took the hairpin from her hand and inserted it into her tied hair. "I will braid your hair, draw your eyebrows, and paint your lips for you every day. I will live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and lead a life of leisure and ease."
Nan Xing hugged the man's waist and rested her face on his strong abdominal muscles, "Promise me!"
"I promise, but can you please let me go first?"
Nanxing sensed something was wrong with someone and quickly let him go, "You, you are so shameless!"
"As long as I have a wife, why do I need to worry about face?" Sang Wan smiled and leaned over to kiss the bright red lips. "Then let's go. Let's go buy your favorite cakes first and then go back to the temple."
Nanxing nodded, and before leaving, she took the hairpin off and put it into the package.
In a few days, she would be able to let Sang Wan do her hair and put hairpins on her every day.
When the two returned to the temple, the sun had already set.
In order to avoid suspicion, Sang Wan and Nan Xing did not communicate much and went back to their rooms.
Just as Nanxing was about to push the door open, Ruan Wenfeng came over.
"Junior Brother Nanxing, what did you and Master do down the mountain?"
Nan Xing followed what Sang Wan had told her beforehand and cleared her throat, "My master and I bought some medicinal powder, saying that the monsters are afraid of it."
Ruan Wenfeng nodded. Those medicinal powders would come in handy during the annual Demon-Slaying Festival.
He stroked his chin and looked at Nanxing's package. "What's in here?"
"My personal belongings, Brother. If everything is ok, I will go inside. After all, I have walked for such a long time, I am a little tired!"
"Okay, no problem! Then go in and have some rest." Ruan Wenfeng watched Nanxing enter the room and close the door, a dark light flashing in his eyes.
On this day, Sang Wan led a group of disciples to the dense forest to hunt monsters, which was an advance rehearsal for the Monster Killing Festival, in preparation for various situations.
Halfway through the journey, Ruan Wenfeng turned pale, covered his stomach and stopped moving forward.
Seeing this, Sang Wan asked a disciple to help him back to the temple to rest.
Ruan Wenfeng insisted that Wan Tan help him back, and Wan Tan agreed. After all, he was highly qualified and could handle emergencies, so he did not lack this exercise.
Wan Tan carried him on his back and walked back. After walking for a while, Ruan Wenfeng patted him and said, "Stop, stop, stop now."
"What's wrong?"
Ruan Wenfeng jumped off his back and said, "I'm fine."
Wan Tan frowned, "What do you mean?"
"I suspect there is something wrong with Nanxing!"
Wan Tan disliked Ruan Wenfeng, "Don't be suspicious. If you have nothing to do, follow the master to practice."
Ruan Wenfeng grabbed his arm and said, "Just this once, come with me and take a look. I can guarantee that there is something wrong."
"Master treats everyone equally." Wan Tan ignored him and wanted to leave.
"Brother, I'll tell you the truth. One time I found Nanxing went to the back mountain!"
Wan Tan stopped. The back mountain was a forbidden area, Sang Wan’s private territory, and outsiders were not allowed to enter.
He frowned, "Are you telling the truth?"
"I swear to God, if I lie, I will die!" Ruan Wenfeng raised three fingers, "Don't you think Nanxing looks like a woman? What if Master has a mistress? Apart from that, what if Master passes the Soul-Exterminating Sword to Nanxing? Brother, don't you think I am doing this for the sake of our Monster Hunting Temple!"
Wan Tan thought for a moment, "What do you want to do?"
"I see Nanxing treasures his package very much. I suspect there is some unspeakable secret inside!"
Wan Tan turned and walked towards the Monster-Catching Temple.
An hour later, the two returned to the temple. At this time, there was no one else in the temple, so they did not hide and directly broke into Nanxing's room.
Ruan Wenfeng began to look for the package here, and soon he found it under the bed.
He called Wantan, placed the package on the square table and opened it.
They were both surprised to find that there were several hairpins used by women in it.
Ruan Wenfeng laughed, "I guessed right. This Nanxing must be a woman, hiding in our Monster Hunting Temple disguised as a man. She must be shameless, otherwise why would the master be so secretive about marrying a wife? I never thought that the upright master would do such a despicable thing!"
"Perhaps, this is what Junior Brother Nanxing wants to give to his beloved woman." Wan Tan said.
"Impossible! Think about why Nanxing went to the back mountain? Could it be that Master and he are sworn enemies?" After saying this, Ruan Wenfeng was also stunned.
This "The Cut Sleeve" also has male and female roles, so Nanxing is a man but plays a female role?
This makes sense.
Wan Tan asked him to keep it, "Don't talk nonsense. Even if it is cutting off the sleeves, it is not a rebellious act. Don't bring this up again in the future. I will not mention what happened today to anyone other than you and me, and I hope you will too!"
After Wan Tan left, Ruan Wenfeng put the package back to its original place, but he was very depressed.
Unexpectedly, Wan Tan didn't believe him at all.
But he won't give up and must find out the truth!
The night before the Demon-Slaying Festival, Sang Wan led most of his disciples to the dense forest to set traps.
Only a small number of disciples remained in the temple.
Taking advantage of the night, a man in black sneaked into Nanxing's bedroom.
Nan Xing opened her eyes suddenly, "Who!"
The man suddenly rushed over, pressed Nanxing under him, and started touching her all over.
Nanxing didn't wear a bra when she slept at night, so when the man felt that softness, he was stunned for a moment.
The touch was simply so good that he was instantly overwhelmed with lust.
He wanted to make this woman his own.
Nanxing was sealed, so she couldn't use her magic power at all. She struggled, but the man was too powerful.
Just as the malicious face approached her, she touched something and stabbed the man's neck hard.
Warm liquid dripped onto her face, and then with a hissing sound, a thin column of blood spurted out.
Nanxing pushed the motionless man off the bed. She hurriedly got up and lit a candle. With the light, she could see the man's face clearly.
It’s Ruan Wenfeng!
She killed someone, she killed Ruan Wenfeng!
What to do?
Sang Wan wasn't there, so she couldn't explain at all.
Should I tell others that I am a woman?
What would those people think of Sang Wan?
She was so afraid that Sang Wanhui would misunderstand her and say that she was a demon, and that she would never be able to get rid of the demonic nature in her.
At this time, a nine-tailed white fox came in through the window.
Nan Xing looked over and seemed to have seen a savior, "Sister!"
