"You did very well." In the study, the man sitting in the main seat pushed a glass of wine towards Mu Tiantian.
Mu Tiantian looked at the face that bore a seven-tenths resemblance to Feng Qianyan and smiled faintly, "Second Prince, are you so eager to cross the river and then discard the bridge?"
"I only believe in the dead, but..." Feng Qianlin's lips curled slightly, and she said wickedly, "Considering that you completed your mission exceptionally well, I can spare your life."
Mu Tiantian picked up her wine glass and glanced at it.
System: [It's not poison, but it will affect your memory and mental state. If you drink it, you will experience mental and memory confusion. At this time, anyone who gives you an order will obey you, and you will only obey that person from now on.]
"Then I should thank the Second Prince for his leniency in letting me go?" Mu Tiantian toyed with the wine cup in her hand and smiled. "How about this, Second Prince, I'll take care of these two bodies. I'll drink this cup of wine when I get back. I wonder if the Second Prince would be willing?"
Feng Qianlin stepped forward and grabbed her by the neck, his voice cold and angry, "Mu Tiantian, don't try anything funny with me!"
Mu Tiantian was not afraid at all. She smiled and said calmly, "This is the true face of the Second Prince. He must be tired of pretending to be refined all the time."
"Believe it or not, I'll strangle you right now!"
"Second Prince, tell me, is your hand faster, or is my knife faster?" Mu Tiantian had barely finished speaking when, without anyone noticing, a dagger was already pressed against Feng Qianlin's neck.
At this moment, numerous guards rushed into the study, wielding long swords and surrounding the two of them.
"Second Prince, I only want to dispose of these two bodies, that's all."
Feng Qianlin sneered and released his hand, and Mu Tiantian also put away the dagger.
He turned his back and waved his hand, and the guards put down their long swords.
"Prepare a carriage for Miss Mu."
"Thank you, Second Prince."
After saying that, Mu Tiantian walked out of the study and took the bodies of Feng Qianyan and Quan Wufeng to the carriage.
Feng Qianlin's confidant stepped forward worriedly and asked, "Your Highness, are we just going to release them like this?"
Are you sure those two are dead?
"His body was cold; he had already stopped breathing."
"Send men to follow her and see how she disposes of the bodies. Make sure to bring her back to me alive. As for the bodies of the other two, burn them."
"yes."
...
Mu Tiantian brought the two bodies to the western suburbs forest.
The men sent by Feng Qianlin wanted to kill Mu Tiantian directly, as he didn't want the Second Prince to make a mistake because of a woman.
Unexpectedly, Mu Tiantian had been hiding her true strength all along.
She killed that trusted confidant.
Mu Tiantian placed Feng Qianyan and Quan Wufeng in a prominent position.
She had Qi Tong gather information beforehand that Ren Shangbo would be passing through this area.
System: [Let's go.]
Mu Tiantian hid under a tree not far away.
System: [They'll be alright.]
Mu Tiantian: [At least...let me see them being taken away.]
After a long while, she saw the two of them being taken away by Ren Shangbo, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
She turned to leave.
Just then, her ankle was grabbed tightly.
She dared not move.
Mu Tiantian: [Seven Tong, is it a ghost?]
System: [It looks like a dead person.]
Mu Tiantian: [Dead man!]
Mu Tiantian suddenly raised her leg, trying to throw the person away.
But the man was incredibly strong, and they couldn't shake him off.
"Help...help me..."
Mu Tiantian stopped moving after hearing the sound.
System: [Not quite dead yet.]
Mu Tiantian: 【...Can you please stop taking such long breaths when you speak?!】
There were already a lot of corpses in this place, and Qitong even scared her.
System: [Let's go, let's go. He probably won't survive.]
Mu Tiantian: [Why does this voice sound so familiar?]
Mu Tiantian turned the person who was holding her ankle over, and saw that his eyes were tightly closed and blood was flowing continuously.
"Tang Xiu?" Mu Tiantian muttered.
Although the sound was faint, Tang Xiu still heard it.
He desperately wanted to live, clinging tightly to Mu Tiantian's ankle, refusing to let go, "Save...me..."
His voice was hoarse, and he managed to squeeze out those two words with great effort.
Mu Tiantian felt like her ankle was about to be broken by him.
This powerful will to survive.
She changed her voice and said, "Brother, loosen your grip, and I'll save you."
System: [Time's almost up, hurry up.]
Mu Tiantian: [I'll do it as soon as possible.]
Tang Xiu still wouldn't let go, so Mu Tiantian didn't care anymore and pressed several acupoints on his body.
She looked into his eyes; they were badly injured.
The only thing she can do now is to treat his fatal wounds and try to help him with internal energy cultivation techniques.
Whether he can survive depends on his physical condition, his will to live, and his subsequent recuperation.
After Mu Tiantian finished bandaging his body, she said, "That's all I can do. The rest you need to do is find a famous doctor and get proper treatment. You'll get better."
As she finished speaking, he grabbed her arm, stood up, and made as if to go with her. "Since you saved me, my life is yours. Wherever you go, I will go."
He was blind and could only hold onto her.
Mu Tiantian continued in her masculine voice, "Brother, your will to survive is so strong, you must have something important to do. Saving you was just a small favor, you don't need to worry about it."
“Now that I’m crippled like this, going there would only be a death sentence… Yes… I’m blind and crippled like this, following you would only be a burden…” Tang Xiu released his hand.
Suddenly, he smelled a faint milky fragrance.
Because he couldn't see, his sense of smell became heightened.
The taste is...
He reached out and grabbed her again; her arms were slender, like a woman's.
“Brother, you can’t say that. I remember there’s a legendary doctor named Quan Wufeng. He’s incredibly skilled. If you go to him, he’ll definitely cure you.” Mu Tiantian said, subtly withdrawing her arm.
"Do you not know the name of your benefactor?"
"I...have no name or surname. Brother, I have urgent business, and I really can't help you with the rest." With that, Mu Tiantian turned around and was about to leave.
Tang Xiu hurriedly tried to catch up, but he couldn't see anything, fell to the ground, and groaned.
Mu Tiantian paused, "Brother, don't follow me."
"I just...want to repay a debt of gratitude..." Tang Xiu stood up.
No matter how far she went, he always followed.
He thought, perhaps the person in front of him was her...
System: [He's too persistent.]
Seeing his insistence, Mu Tiantian had no choice but to say, "If you really want to repay your kindness, then serve the new emperor and the wise ruler. Your eyes will be able to see some blurry images tomorrow. If you want to fully recover, you will need long-term treatment. Go find Quan Wufeng; he will cure you. Don't follow me anymore."
After she finished speaking, she turned and ran.
Tang Xiu took a step forward; she walked quickly, clearly not wanting him to follow.
He was certain.
She saved her...
After running a few steps, Mu Tiantian felt a bit exhausted.
System: [Your body has been severely depleted over the past three years, and your recent act of saving Tang Xiu has further damaged it.]
Mu Tiantian: [So what if it's damaged? This copy will be destroyed sooner or later anyway, and we won't need it anymore.]
System: [Tang Xiu is a loyal person. Staying by Feng Qianyan's side will be beneficial. Let's go.]
After speaking with Qi Tong, Mu Tian Tian disappeared into the woods...
