Jiang Jingyu didn't expose his little thoughts and leaned directly on Tan Tai Si's shoulder.
The thousands of poisonous insects that were gnawing at his flesh and blood in his body stopped moving instantly, and Tan Tai Si breathed a sigh of relief.
He moved closer to Jiang Jingyu, getting closer to his antidote.
"Sister, where are you going next?"
Tan Tai Si calmly inquired about Jiang Jingyu's whereabouts.
A single chance encounter is a chance encounter, but too many chance encounters will inevitably arouse suspicion.
The poison in his body would break out every three days. If her next whereabouts were along the same route as his, he could follow her to suppress the poison in his body.
"Fengdu."
Jiang Jingyu did not hide her whereabouts from him and told him her destination directly.
Tan Tai Si's eyes lit up, and his voice was filled with excitement: "Sister is going to Fengdu?"
After noticing his shaking shoulders, Jiang Jingyu opened her eyes: "Why, you want to go too?"
"That's right. The witch doctor said that the herbs to treat my mother's illness are in Fengdu. I left home this time to go to Fengdu to get the herbs for my mother."
The opportunity actually came to my door!
This is the common voice of Jiang Jingyu and Tan Tai Si.
Tan Tai Si was too wary, and Jiang Jingyu couldn't find a way to defeat him for a while. She was thinking of finding an excuse to follow him and let him let down his guard against her, but she didn't expect the opportunity to come to her.
"Since my sister is also going to Fengdu, why don't we go together so that we can look after each other on the way."
Tan Tai Si finally found an opportunity to be with her openly, so he naturally would not let it go easily.
Jiang Jingyu looked up at him and said, "Okay, I'll have to trouble you to take care of me from now on."
The two of them were very close, and Tan Tai Si could even clearly feel the warm breath she exhaled spraying on his neck when she spoke.
Tan Tai Si's body tensed up again.
This time it was not because of the pain from the poison, but because of the numbness it brought.
The night blurred Tan Tai Si's strange expression and also covered his slightly red earlobes.
"Go to sleep, we have to travel tomorrow."
Jiang Jingyu leaned back on Tan Tai Si's broad shoulders and closed her eyes.
Smelling the faint fragrance coming from her hair, Tan Tai Si completely lost his sleepiness.
He reached out and touched the jade pendant in his arms. It was the one he had secretly taken from Jiang Jingyu's neck that night.
Tan Tai Si originally wanted to put the jade pendant back around Jiang Jingyu's neck while she was not noticing, but he was afraid of waking her up, so he had no choice but to give up.
Next, the two of them would travel together, and then find an opportunity to quietly return the jade pendant to her.
The next day, the sky was clear and the air was fresh.
Jiang Jingyu was awakened by the sunlight leaking through the roof.
She frowned and opened her eyes in a daze, and what she saw was the magnified and enchanting face of Tan Tai Si.
Jiang Jingyu, who was originally drowsy, suddenly shuddered and lost her sleepiness in an instant.
"Sister, there's no prey nearby. Let's eat some fruit first."
Tan Tai Si held the fruit he had just picked in front of Jiang Jingyu. His eyes were clear and bright, like a child who came to seek credit.
But Jiang Jingyu knew that there was another face hidden behind these two harmless faces.
Seeing the expectation in Tan Tai Si's eyes, Jiang Jingyu took a fruit from his hand and took a bite.
Under Tan Tai Si's gaze, Jiang Jingyu's eyes were dotted with smiles. The juice that seeped out when she bit the fruit remained on her pink lips, making her lips look fuller and more lustrous, making people want to come forward and taste it.
Tan Tai Si's throat drooped uncontrollably, and his eyes became darker.
"Is it tasty?"
"It's delicious. The fruit picked by Ah Si is really sweet."
"What did my sister call me?"
"Ah Si, why, you don't like it?"
Tan Tai Si looked at her straight in the eyes: "No, I like it very much."
He hadn't heard anyone call him that in a long time.
Jiang Jingyu stuffed the remaining fruit into her mouth, then patted her butt and stood up.
"Ah Si, let's go."
She lowered her eyes to look at Tan Tai Si who was squatting on the ground and stretched out her hand to him, just like when they first met.
Tan Tai Si suppressed the disappointment in his eyes and placed his hand in Jiang Jingyu's palm.
"Sister, let's go."
After leaving the ruined temple, the two continued to head towards Fengdu.
This was Tan Tai Si's first time in Central Plains, and he didn't know much about the country's affairs. Seeing that Jiang Jingyu looked like a woman of the world, he asked her indirectly about what he wanted to know.
"When I was in the Northern Frontier, I heard people say that the martial arts competition in the Central Plains was very interesting. I wonder if you know anything about it?"
Jiang Jingyu raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "Then you finally asked the right person. I went to Fengdu this time just for the martial arts competition."
Tan Tai Si's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she was also going for the purple pearl grass?
Tan Tai Si suddenly became alert and quietly probed, "Oh? I heard the prizes for the martial arts competition are very attractive. Could it be that Sister is also going for the prize?"
"With the number one sword in the martial arts world as a prize, I imagine everyone heading to the martial arts competition is here to see the Scarlet Sky Sword in its true form, right?"
How could Jiang Jingyu not hear that he was testing her?
As he tested her, she was also testing him.
This kid has two faces. He said he was going to find medicine for his mother, but who knows how much of his words are true or false?
If he was also going for the Scarlet Sky Sword, then she would have to use some other tricks.
She is determined to obtain the Scarlet Sky Sword and must win it back as a birthday present for her father!
"Then I wish my sister success in obtaining the famous sword."
Jiang Jingyu's gaze stayed on his face for three seconds, and she breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that his target was not the Chixiao Sword.
Are you really going to look for medicinal herbs for your mother?
After learning that Jiang Jingyu's target was not the purple bead grass, Tan Tai Si's vigilance gradually dissipated, and he continued to obtain information from Jiang Jingyu.
"Since this is a martial arts competition, I'm sure all the talented people in the martial arts world will come to participate. But this small Fengdu City, I'm afraid it can't accommodate so many people, right?"
Jiang Jingyu's eyes flashed slightly, and she was almost certain that Tan Tai Si's target was among those participating in the martial arts conference.
"That's right, Fengdu City really can't accommodate so many people, but there is a place that can."
"Where?"
Tan Tai Si almost blurted out.
