Chapter 205 Noble Family Young Lady VS Humble Remnant Slave 7
Jiang Zhiyi wondered: Could Jiang Qi really be bullied by others?
Verbal insults are common, and many people in the sect dislike him.
But he was clearly beaten by someone else.
Among his peers, his cultivation was considered outstanding. He couldn't have been beaten up by the elders and senior brothers, could he? There was nothing she could do about that.
Seeing that she remained silent, Jiang Qi asked again, "Are you really not going to care about me?"
Seeing his pitiful appearance, Jiang Zhiyi had no choice but to ask, "Who bullied you?"
"Your junior brother, Xu Zhizhou," Jiang Qi recited the prepared statement.
"He broke his promise and refused to take you down the mountain. I can't stand his behavior. I accidentally got into a conflict with him about this today. I thought he was your junior brother after all, so I didn't guard against him too much, but I didn't expect him to sneak up on me..."
Jiang Zhiyi frowned.
Xu Zhizhou bullied her last time, but she should spoil her junior brother, so she shouldn't make things difficult for others.
She also used this incident to make Jiang Qi clearly realize his own identity—one was her junior brother, and the other was her little slave. The answer to which was more important was obvious.
He still dared to complain; it seems the lesson Jiang Qi learned these past few days wasn't enough.
Jiang Zhiyi feigned indifference and said, "Then just let him have his way. He's my junior brother, and you're just my slave. So what if he bullies you? What's such a small thing?"
Jiang Qi stood there, stunned.
He thought she would stand by him, and his intention was not to let her take her anger out on him because of Xu Zhizhou.
"Alright, get out." Jiang Zhiyi waved her hand, not intending to pay him any more attention.
She immediately ordered someone to drive Jiang Qi away.
"I'm not leaving. Why have you ignored me these past few days?" Jiang Qi was unwilling to leave. "The Grand Sect Master told me to protect you, but I haven't been able to see you. How am I supposed to do anything?"
Looking at his anxious appearance, Jiang Zhiyi suddenly had a bold idea.
Could it be that Jiang Qi likes me?
Look at him now, he doesn't look like the slave she raised, but more like the lover she cruelly abandoned, full of grievance, sadness, and resentment...
Jiang Zhiyi dismissed all the maids in the hall.
She sat there and asked the man standing in front of her, "Do you like me?"
Jiang Qi's expression changed from calm to surprise, then to embarrassment and nervousness at being caught, until finally his face showed a hint of determination and anticipation.
He readily admitted, "Yes."
Jiang Zhiyi pursed her lips and remained silent; she had indeed guessed correctly.
The hall remained quiet for a long time.
"Why would you like me? I'm not nice to you at all; I hit you, scold you, and humiliate you..."
"Those are all trivial things. Actually... I think you're really good to me." Jiang Qi's voice still carried a hint of shyness.
"..." Jiang Zhiyi paused.
Is she good to him?
Is he a masochist?
The plot she had seen before didn't explain this aspect, so it wasn't entirely impossible.
However, Tuantuan is not here now, so she has no way to ask it for help when she has a problem.
This time, it briefly explained the task, handed her two identical plot manuals to study on her own, and then disappeared.
Jiang Zhiyi's mind raced.
Since he has feelings for her, this is a good opportunity, and she can take advantage of it.
He didn't care about being beaten or scolded, and never took it to heart. So those actions were insignificant to him and had no effect whatsoever.
If things continue as they are, he might not seek revenge on her even after all the important plot points have concluded; instead, he might have to come knocking on her door with gifts…
Moreover, Jiang Qi's life has been too smooth sailing, which is not conducive to his progress. He must be made to suffer some hardships and know the dangers of the world.
The more ruthless you are to him, the stronger he will become.
"Come here." Jiang Zhiyi beckoned him closer with her finger.
Jiang Qi honestly walked up to her.
"Kneel down, and you expect me to look up at you?" Her voice was somewhat impatient.
Jiang Qi had no choice but to do as he was told, and then he looked up at the person sitting there with a pleading look in his eyes.
Jiang Zhiyi slapped him twice hard and asked, "Did you enjoy it?"
"Am I good to you?" she asked again.
Jiang Qi was stunned by the blow and remained silent for a long time.
"You think I'm being disrespectful? You still dare to speak ill of my junior brother. Even if he beats you to death today, you'll deserve it."
"And besides, don't you even know your own worth? What are you? You think you're worthy of liking me? You'd better put away your wicked thoughts and obediently become a slave by my side. Maybe then I can keep you around a little longer and reward you with some good things..."
She continued to attack, intensifying her offensive.
"Isn't that what you're after? No wonder, even the wild dogs down the mountain know to fight over bones. You're a little better than them, you even know which piece of meat is the best. You think you can climb up to me?"
Jiang Zhiyi's voice was full of sarcasm, each word like a sharp knife that wounded.
Jiang Qi remained silent, enduring her humiliation.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Did I hit the nail on the head?" Jiang Zhiyi sneered.
Jiang Qi clenched his fist. "I am indeed unworthy. But you can't stop me from doing anything. This is my own business and has nothing to do with you. I didn't force you to do anything, and you can't control me."
Jiang Zhiyi glanced at him; he was quite stubborn, her fists clenched so tightly they were practically pounding.
"It's good that you know your own limitations."
She then kicked his chin with her toe, carefully examining his appearance with a look of admiration.
"You're not bad looking, so it's not like I can't grant your wish..." Jiang Zhiyi's voice was neither loud nor soft, and she paused for a moment halfway through her sentence.
"Take off all your clothes now, climb onto the bed, and kneel down there begging me. Then I might consider taking you in, how about that?"
Jiang Qi looked at her in disbelief.
"Can't you do it? Then get out of here right now." She was extremely cold.
Jiang Qi got up from the ground and went straight out of the palace.
Jiang Zhiyi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She had said some harsh words, and she was worried that Jiang Qi might not be able to resist hitting her.
In the cultivation world, many people have greatly increased their cultivation after severing all emotional ties and love, and some have even gone so far as to kill their wives to prove their Dao... For them, love is not important; cultivation is the most important thing.
Hopefully, he will improve a lot after this.
Half a month passed quickly.
Jiang Zhiyi hadn't seen Jiang Qi for days, so she couldn't help but ask around for news about him.
Only then did she learn that something had happened to Jiang Qi after he left that day.
His spiritual energy surged violently, causing his cultivation level to plummet. He even suffered a qi deviation while healing, putting his life in danger.
