◎He is the villain.◎
After a few months, An Jiu met his original body's wet nurse again. In fact, the two had not seen each other for many years and did not have much friendship, so the group did not stay in Jiufang City for long. They only stayed for a few days and then left.
An Jiu also took the time to visit the girls who were rescued from the dark village. Seeing that they were living well in Zhou Yuru's embroidery shop, he felt relieved.
When the group left Jiufang City, they made a special trip to investigate the original site of Anzhuang.
The caves and tunnels that interconnected underground have been filled up and no traces of them can be found anymore. However, the dilapidated temple that the few people first encountered still stands outside the city. An Jiu looked at the dilapidated statues in the temple with a dazed look in his eyes.
This is where it all began.
"What are you thinking about?" I heard a man's low voice in my ear, and at the same time, I felt a slight weight on my shoulder.
An Jiu turned his head and saw the young man in white slowly withdrawing his hand, with a flawless snow-white robe draped over his shoulders.
"It just rained, be careful not to catch a cold."
An Jiu hesitated for a moment and said softly, "I just remembered that I was in trouble here that day and was rescued by someone."
Pei Ji's expression paused, then he lowered his eyelids slightly, and unnaturally unfolded a white jade fan in his hand, and whispered: "Let the past be the past, don't think about it anymore."
An Jiu glanced at him, wanting to tell him that it was really strange to fan himself when it wasn't hot after the rain, but he almost shut his mouth and said to himself, "I'm just curious, Fei, that is, Xian Wuming, he was kind enough to save me even though he didn't know me at the beginning, why did he become like that later?"
Pei Ji coughed softly: "Are you concerned about Xian Wuming?"
An Jiu quickly shook his head like a little rattle: "No, I hate him so much that I will never forget what he did to me. I want to know more about what he did to find his weaknesses. After all, knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle, right?"
The girl's tone was very serious when she said this, and her determined expression showed that what she said came from the heart.
Then he asked him, "Do you know what bad things he did outside?"
Pei Ji unconsciously speeded up the movement of fanning himself, and spoke in a lower voice, revealing a sense of guilt: "I... don't know."
"Ah, you don't know? Then I'll go ask Lin Qingyan and the others."
An Jiu turned around to leave, but was stopped again: "Don't go, I'll tell you."
Hearing this, the girl looked at him suspiciously: "Didn't you say you didn't know?"
The young man in white had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. He wiped it off without leaving a trace and said, "I only know one thing. Xian Wuming is a very mysterious person. There is not much information about him..."
He explained for a long time under the girl's puzzled gaze, and finally picked out and told her some gossip about Xian Wuming that was circulating in the world, and they were all castrated versions. In the real version, Xian Wuming was full of evil and extremely vicious.
Despite this, the girl was still filled with indignation and resentment when she heard it. Pei Ji just wiped his sweat off his face and didn't dare to say a word.
"Why are you sweating so much? Can't you still live for another year or so? Are you starting to become weak now?"
Seeing his behavior, the girl opened her bright eyes and looked at him in surprise and suspicion.
Pei Ji: “…”
"It's a little hot."
An Jiu looked at him with even more surprise, "It's still hot today? Do you have a fever?"
There had just been a heavy rain, and the wind was cold, otherwise how could he put clothes on her?
Seeing that the girl's misunderstanding was getting deeper and deeper, Pei Ji had to use all his words to convince her that he was not sick.
However, when the group arrived at the next town and stopped to rest in the evening, while eating at the inn, the girl kept putting meat on his plate. It was almost as if she was telling him to eat more because he was too weak.
Pei Ji: I have done something wrong, what else can I do? I have to bear the consequences myself.
They set off again the next day. Sitting in the carriage, An Jiu suddenly became curious about Pei Ji's fan.
She had never touched the white jade fan before, because she was afraid that if she touched it accidentally, she would be poisoned to death, and even if she didn't die, she would suffer a lot, so she was not curious at all. Now she can be said to be "spoiled by his favor", not to mention his fan, his fingers, belt, hair, all kinds of things, she can touch them as long as she wants, and he will be happier if she touches him more.
Just like a little puppy waiting for its owner's care, it wags its tail vigorously when its owner touches it.
An Jiu just said: "Can you show me your fan?"
The next second, the fan that he never left behind was handed to him by Pei Ji.
An Jiu reached out and took it. It felt as warm as jade, but also slightly cool. It felt very good to touch.
No wonder he is always seen holding a fan in his hand.
There are a total of thirty-six fan ribs, each one as white and smooth as mutton fat. When the fan is unfolded, it is very thick, as if it is made of a unique material, with a big "医" written on it in an elegant stroke.
An Jiu played with it for a long time and there was no abnormality in his body.
I don’t know how he can administer and release the poison so freely. In his hand it is a weapon, but in her hand it is just a toy.
While playing with her fan, she said nonchalantly, "Come to think of it, Xian Wuming seems to be good at using poison as well. Are you two similar in this respect?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the man who was originally looking at her with a smile suddenly froze on his lips. Although he quickly returned to normal, An Jiu still caught it keenly.
"System, did you see that? He panicked."
System: [Host, what is the point of doing this? ]
An Jiuxin replied: "This is to lay the groundwork."
【What is the foreshadowing? 】
"Paving the way for me to discover the truth about this matter."
An Jiu smiled slightly, and in the man's worried gaze, she said calmly: "Since you both use poison, who is better, you or him?"
Seeing that she looked normal and didn't look like she had discovered anything, Pei Ji felt relieved and said with a smile, "I have never compared it before, so I don't know."
An Jiu nodded and said casually: "That's right, we can compare when we have a chance."
Pei Ji broke out in a cold sweat again after hearing this.
She quickly changed the subject, and Pei Ji's tense spirit relaxed a little.
However, he always remembered this hidden danger, so he found an opportunity that day and told Ah Qi to go to Yaowang Valley first and completely destroy all items that could connect him to Xian Wuming without leaving any trace.
Previously, Pei Ji wanted to secretly control the martial arts world under the identity of Xian Wuming, but now he has completely given up and only wants to draw a clear line between himself and the name "Xian Wuming".
He would only be the young master of Yaowang Valley, the respected and compassionate Doctor Pei.
After he had cured himself of the poison, he secretly abandoned Qiansha Pavilion and never cared about it again.
From now on, he will only grow old with her in Yaowang Valley.
After hearing Pei Ji's instructions, Ah Qi naturally agreed without hesitation, even though Pei Ji's move could almost destroy all the arrangements they had made over the years.
In Ah Qi's heart, as long as the young master is happy, everything is fine.
"By the way, sir, Ah Qi has something to confess to you." After accepting the task, Ah Qi did not leave, but lowered his head and said.
"What's up?"
Ah Qi said, "When you took Miss An to Qiansha Pavilion, I kept it a secret from you and went out to look for a woman who could help you detoxify. I just wanted to be prepared... Now that person has been found, but she is weak and needs you to nurse her back to health before you can help detoxify her. She has been sent to Yaowang Valley today and is awaiting your decision."
Before he finished speaking, Ah Qi knelt down and said, "Master, I did all this on my own initiative and kept it a secret from you. Please punish me."
Pei Ji looked deeply at the servant kneeling in front of him. Ah Qi was indeed the person who had been with him the longest and knew his feelings very well.
Yes, since Pei Ji doesn’t plan to use An Jiu to detoxify anymore, of course he has to find someone else.
Killing a person is easier for him than killing a chicken.
He would not feel any guilt. If he did, he would not have deceived An Jiu and made her his antidote.
Pei Ji originally thought that even if the antidote was hard to find, he still had a year or two to live, so he could wait.
But he didn't expect that there was such a surprise waiting for him.
"Get up. We won't pursue this matter any further. You did a good job." He smiled slightly and said to Ah Qi, "Take her to Medicine King Valley. Don't tell anyone about this. Just think of her as someone seeking medical treatment."
After a pause, he gave an additional reminder: "Move her yard farther away, and don't let her run into Anjiu."
"Yes, sir."
Ah Qi nodded and left.
The two were talking in a dense forest. There was no one around. Neither of them could have imagined that An Jiu, who was far away in the carriage, saw the whole scene.
"Sure enough, I said that Pei Ji is not the kind of person who would disregard his own life for love."
An Jiu said this to the system.
System: […He is a villain.]
"Yes, he is a villain, so it is normal for him to do this. If he really died for love, I would doubt his character setting."
An Jiu felt a sense of relief, but deep down in his heart, he felt a vague sense of loss and emptiness.
How is it possible that someone in this world is willing to die for love?
How could she possibly get this kind of love?
"It's better for him to do this, because it gives me the opportunity to show my ability. Since he has handed the evidence to me, don't blame me for being cruel."
An Jiu smiled slightly, and there was no burden in her heart anymore.
When Pei Ji came back, he didn't see Ah Qi, so An Jiu asked knowingly, "Where did Ah Qi go?"
Pei Ji's expression remained unchanged, and his smile was as gentle as ever: "I asked him to go back and clean up the house first. There will be one more person in the valley, and many places need to be changed."
Facing the man's gaze, An Jiu turned her head away and blushed, but there was a calm indifference in her eyes.
Jiufang City was not far from Yaowang Valley. The group walked slowly for two days and arrived at the Sword Casting Villa first.
An Jiu and Pei Ji went to Zhujian Villa together and met Lin Qingyan's parents and siblings.
Sword Forging Villa is not an orthodox martial arts family. Although the Lin family members learn martial arts, they are not masters. However, they are masters of sword forging. Martial artists come here to buy weapons, and they also give the Lin family some face, so that they can have a status in the martial arts world.
An Jiu watched the drama of the hero and heroine meeting their parents. There were jokes and touching moments in it. In the end, the two lovers got their parents' blessings and made an engagement. There was no rush for the wedding date, and they decided to get married after the New Year.
After the New Year...it's July now, which means there is still half a year left.
After her marriage was settled, Lin Qingyan came to ask An Jiu when she planned to marry Pei Ji?
An Jiu blushed and said, "Let's see what Pei Ji thinks," but she couldn't help sighing in her heart.
If everything goes according to plan, her marriage will probably not be far away.
