◎She probably won't live long.◎
"Xian Wuming, what else do you have to say now!"
A loud male voice sounded, reaching everyone's ears, like a signal, and the atmosphere at the wedding banquet instantly became tense.
He Ziqing and his group all stood up and confronted the Qiansha Pavilion and others led by Xian Wuming.
An Jiu was handed over to Pei Ji by Jin Yanwan, who said, "Protect her well." Then he drew his sword with a clang and turned to face Xian Wuming.
Everyone isolated An Jiu and Pei Ji in the back.
The girl in a wedding dress lay in the arms of the young man in white. She seemed to be unwell, with her eyes closed and her face pale, not saying a word.
No one heard the girl's inner wailing at this moment.
"How can it be 95? It's numb, it's numb, I'm really going to die now!"
An Jiu felt unwell all over.
She originally thought that such a huge shock would definitely leave a deep impression on Pei Ji. As a person who lacks love, he would not be able to resist such strong love.
It's like, when your secret crush on your white moonlight for years, whom you thought would never look down on you, suddenly tells you, "Actually, I've loved you for a long, long time, too." Isn't that great?
Most normal people would be ecstatic and love each other even more from then on, right?
An Jiu's prediction was not wrong, but unfortunately she still underestimated Pei Ji's psychological defense. His favorability did increase, but it was only increased by 10 points, and she still needed 5 points to complete the task.
As far as she knew, Pei Ji had already obtained the Twin Gu.
What would he do? Would he kill her again?
The final deadline was gone, and An Jiu felt hopeless. She felt that there was a guillotine in front of her, waiting for her head to fall off.
This choice is like asking whether to choose life or love?
If it were An Jiu, she would definitely choose to live, even though she would have to kill her loved one to survive.
Anyway, An Jiu doesn’t believe that love can really make people give up their lives.
Putting myself in other people's shoes, perhaps there really is such deep love in this world, but it definitely does not exist in Pei Ji.
At this moment, An Jiu was even prepared for the mission to fail.
"Don't get excited, it's just a misunderstanding."
Xian Wuming's voice suddenly came from the front.
An Jiu has already accepted the reality, but even though death is imminent, she still keeps her spirits up.
She didn't want to give up hope until the last moment.
She opened her eyes and looked towards the source of the voice. Just as she glanced at "Xian Wuming", her jaw was gently pinched and she turned her face away.
"Look what he does."
The young man in white who was holding her in his arms asked warmly, but his tone was not interrogative.
He had a gentle smile on his face, his narrow eyes curved downwards, and his eyes were gentle, like the shimmering surface of a lake under the setting sun.
An Jiu had never seen such a genuine and warm smile on Pei Ji's face.
Although he always smiled before, the smile never reached his eyes. Unlike this time, it was as if his whole body was warmed from the inside out.
It really gives people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.
"Don't you like me? Just look at me." He looked at An Jiu gently and said this.
An Jiu was stunned for a moment, looking at his dark eyes filled with smile, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
What's going on? Why does she feel that this person seems to have become even more perverted?
As the two looked at each other, Xian Wuming's voice continued to be heard: "I am indeed in the wrong at this moment, but before you take action, please take a look at your own situation. I don't want to be your enemy, but you don't want to lose your lives here either. How about we both take a step back, I will send An Jiu back, and you will leave Qiansha Pavilion from now on, and we will make peace with each other and not pursue this matter anymore, how about that?"
When Xian Wuming said this, everyone looked at each other in disbelief.
I thought there would be a fierce battle, but I didn’t expect it to be resolved so easily?
Jin Yanwan whispered, "What this guy said is right. We will not gain any advantage if we clash with him here. This is his territory. Since he is willing to let An Jiu go, why not just let it go?"
Mingyi, however, looked doubtful: "How do we know if you are lying to us? You said you would let us go, but once we entered the forest, you trapped us again?"
The group had all experienced the power of the Thousand Killings Pavilion's trap formation, and they were all a little hesitant for a moment.
It was really that Xian Wuming was too easy to talk to, which was beyond everyone's expectation. As the leader of Qiansha Pavilion and a notorious assassin, he was offended like this and lost his bride. Could he really let it go?
Little did he know that "Xian Wuming" was also confused.
He is just a puppet, and everything he said was told to him by the real Pavilion Master. He himself finds it outrageous, so it is normal for these people to be suspicious!
Just when I was at a loss, I heard another subtle voice in my ear. "Xian Wuming" continued with a stiff face: "If I wanted to do something, I could have put you to death before. I really don't want to be enemies with you. I invited you here just to participate in my wedding with An Jiu. Since she has no intention of being with me, I can't force her, so it's better to let her go. You really don't have to worry, just leave. If I go back on my word, I will be struck by lightning."
What he said was almost like a curse, and everyone listened with half belief and half doubt.
No matter what, it is better to avoid conflict if possible. After all, the outcome is likely to be a lose-lose situation for both sides.
So after a moment of stalemate, Lin Qingyan and others temporarily believed what he said.
Just as Xian Wuming said, if he really wanted to kill them, he would have killed them when he trapped them in the woods.
In the final analysis, he only did one bad thing, which was to force An Jiu to marry him.
This can be attributed to an emotional issue. Now that he has come to his senses and decided to let An Jiu go, he can be considered to have admitted his mistakes and can correct them. There is no need for him to shout and yell.
Just when the two sides were about to stop fighting and shake hands in peace, Feichen, who was wearing a monk's robe, suddenly stepped forward and said in a cold voice: "The matter of An Tanyue has been settled. I still have one thing to discuss with you."
Xian Wuming was almost breaking out in a cold sweat.
Why isn't this over yet? How much trouble has the Pavilion Master gotten himself into? He can't pretend anymore!
"Master, what's the matter?" he asked with a stiff face.
Fei Chen said, "More than a month ago, the precious Bodhi seed of Wuyin Temple was stolen. At that time, I got the news and found out that it was the work of Qiansha Pavilion. I wonder if it is true?"
Xian Wuming paused for a moment before saying, "I am truly sorry. I failed to discipline my subordinates and allowed them to commit serious mistakes. The Bodhi seed was presented to me by my subordinates. I will now return it to your temple. I hope that Master will forgive me."
After saying that, he immediately ordered someone to get the Bodhi seed, and then apologized: "The Bodhi seed is intact, but the internal force in it has been used up. To express our apology, Qiansha Pavilion can agree to one condition of your temple as compensation to Wuyin Temple."
There is a saying that goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you.
Xian Wuming's style was so unexpected. He didn't deny anything at all. He just admitted his mistake when he opened his mouth and apologized and offered compensation when he lowered his head. Everyone was stunned.
If he refused to repent, killed someone, or denied it, they could fight him to the end, but this man fell to his knees so quickly that no one could even put on a cold face.
Feichen is not an aggressive person, so what else can he say after seeing this?
I had no choice but to say, "As long as the Bodhi seeds are returned, there is no need for any conditions."
As for Lin Qingyan and the others, after asking An Jiu for her opinion and learning that she didn't want to pursue the matter and just wanted to leave here as soon as possible, they didn't pursue it any further.
A battle that was supposed to be full of storms, unknowingly, quietly changed into a gentle breeze and drizzle with sunshine.
When the last group of people left Qiansha Pavilion, they were personally escorted out by Xian Wuming, whose kindness was unprecedented.
Until they walked out of the forest, He Ziqing couldn't help but utter: "This Thousand Killing Pavilion Master... is quite enthusiastic?"
An Jiu happened to hear these words and she burst out laughing.
"He is... quite enthusiastic." She couldn't help but agree.
When An Jiu heard the conversation between "Xian Wuming" and the others just now, she almost couldn't help laughing. How could she not know if others didn't know? This Xian Wuming was a fake, and the real Xian Wuming was actually right beside her.
The Enemy Within
Dead
, this is a perfect example.
An Jiu was certain that "Xian Wuming" must have said those words at Pei Ji's instruction. As soon as he heard the tone that was eager to distance himself from everything, he knew what he was thinking.
He should have been unable to stay here long ago and just wanted to take her away quickly.
For example, in modern society, the first thing a couple who have successfully expressed their love want to do is to find a place to spend time alone together and talk to each other about their true feelings.
An Jiu could still understand it, but he felt a little heavy-hearted.
The future is uncertain. When they are alone in their world, if he wants to use her as an antidote, then she will be helpless.
Sure enough, as soon as he arrived outside the woods, the first thing Pei Ji did was to say goodbye to everyone.
"I'll take Miss An back first."
The young man in white clasped his hands together, bent down slightly and saluted everyone. His originally pale face even had a hint of blush.
An Jiu stood beside him. Although the two of them did not do anything intimate, their white clothes and red skirts intertwined with the gentle breeze, and there was an intimate and charming atmosphere lingering around them, which made everyone smile kindly.
This is a pair of lovers who have gone through many hardships. Now that they finally get married, how can we not be happy?
"We also want to go back to Zhujian Villa, why don't we go together!" Lin Qingyan said, pulling He Ziqing.
Now that the matter here is over and everyone is safe and sound, it is natural for everyone to return home.
Jin Yanwan said: "Then I will go back to the Golden Snake Villa. Anjiu, if you are free, please come visit me. If you have anything, just contact me. You are my lifelong friend."
Fei Chen chanted Amitabha and said with compassionate eyes, "It is time for me to return to Wuyin Temple. You can come to the temple to pray at any time. Wuyin Temple prohibits killing. If you encounter danger, you can come here to seek shelter."
Ming Yi glanced at Pei Ji angrily, and said to An Jiu with a bitter face: "An Jiu, if this man bullies you in the future, just come to me. You are always welcome at the gate of the palace!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Pei Ji's pair of dark eyes looking at him quietly. That look inexplicably gave people a very terrifying feeling.
Before he could feel it carefully, the young man in white turned his head and said gently to the girl beside him: "I won't bully you, I will treat you well."
His tone was extremely serious, as if he was taking an oath.
She never even glanced at him again.
Ming Yi tried to hold back, but couldn't help whispering, "What is he so proud of?"
Finally, Qingque came to Anjiu and handed her a wooden box.
"The minister cannot come to see you, so he asked me to bring this to you. If you meet a man you like, this will be your dowry. The minister said that you don't have to go home anymore."
An Jiu was slightly startled, she didn't expect there was such a thing, she took the box, it was heavy in her hand. When she opened it, she saw a pile of luxurious gold and silver jewels inside.
If it is sold for money, at least a person can live comfortably for the rest of his life.
She asked, "What if I don't meet my ideal husband?"
Qingque said: "Then I will rescue you and go to Jiangnan to find a city with spring all year round for you to settle down in. I will ensure that you will have a smooth life."
An Jiu was silent for a while, then smiled softly and said, "When you go back, thank Daddy for me and tell him that I am doing well."
Such an ending is not bad.
It's a pity that she probably won't live long.
An Jiu turned her head and looked at Pei Ji who had been staring at her, and said, "Let's go back to Medicine King Valley."
I don't know what touched him, the man's black eyes curved, and his expression instantly became extremely gentle: "Okay, let's go back."
When we came out of the woods, we saw Ah Qi driving a horse-drawn carriage and waiting quietly.
There were still five of them when they went back, An Jiu, Pei Ji, He Ziqing and Lin Qingyan. It seemed as if time had suddenly returned to spring.
A group of five people walked on the morning glow and the sunset, with the wheels rolling towards the distance.
