Chapter 23



◎ "Fei Yi... is very handsome, I like him very much." [Second update]◎

"Fei Yi, why are you here?"

After confirming that the girl was poisoned, Pei Ji fed her a pill.

I don’t know what kind of medicine it was, but as soon as An Jiu took it, the pain in his body was relieved a lot and he felt a little better.

After she recovered, she asked the question.

No matter how stupid "Anjiu" is, it is obvious that his repeated rescue is not a coincidence.

If she continued to play dumb, she would look suspicious.

Therefore, An Jiu raised questions at the right time so that Pei Ji could find reasons to explain to her.

Look how considerate she is.

An Jiu felt that if Pei Ji was her boss, she would definitely win the award for "The Employee Who Understands Superiors the Most in History". No matter what the boss wanted to do or what kind of cooperation the boss needed, she completed it all very well, even at such a painful price.

She is really a good subordinate who loves her job and is dedicated to it.

Pei Ji was silent after hearing this. He paused for a moment and asked instead of answering: "What are you doing here?"

An Jiu: What do you think I am doing here?

Am I not cooperating with your performance?

An Jiu was too weak to complain, but on the surface he hesitated and whispered, "I, I heard that they were going to catch some bad guys tonight, so I came to watch the fun, to watch the fun for me."

"You were caught while watching the fun?" The man said with a smile in his voice.

If he didn't have to continue acting, An Jiu would have wanted to take off this man's mask and smear it on his face.

Just wait, I’ll let you be arrogant now, wait and see how I’ll torture you later.

An Jiu lowered his head guiltily and whispered softly: "Aren't you still here to save me..."

Behind the mask, a glimmer flashed in the man's eyes.

When this woman came in front of "Fei Yi", she behaved very differently, shy and coquettish, like an ordinary little girl. He was a little uncomfortable with An Jiu's acting so much.

Pei Ji said: "I came here for a mission, not to save you."

After a pause, he continued, "I am a Xuanyi Guard."

An Jiu raised his head and said in surprise: "So you are a Xuanyi Guard!"

The Xuanyi Guards were affiliated with the imperial court and were considered an official martial arts department that directly served the royal family. The Xuanyi Guards' roles were generally to secretly supervise officials, investigate matters of the underworld, deal with matters that were not allowed to be seen in public, and protect members of the royal family, etc.

Anyway, it's a secret security organization similar to the Jinyiwei.

The Xuanyi Guard also had a group responsible for secretly monitoring the martial arts world. The powerful martial arts world was harmful to the imperial court, so the emperor used the Xuanyi Guard to form a check and balance on the martial arts world.

An Jiu showed a surprised expression: "No wonder you appeared in Dark Village and Pinglan City, you must be here to investigate these things, right?"

The imperial court also needs to control the developments in the martial arts world. The Xuanyi Guards who hide in the martial arts world usually do not reveal their tracks. They are only responsible for collecting information in secret and then passing the collected information to the emperor.

An Jiu secretly admired that this was a very good reason with absolutely no flaws.

The man said in a deep voice: "Yes, don't take risks next time. You are just an ordinary person and should not get involved in these martial arts matters."

An Jiu: I don't want to participate either, can you let me? When will you stop playing this old-fashioned hero-saving-the-beauty scene with me?

An Jiu decided to add fuel to the fire. She couldn't be so passive anymore.

An Jiu lowered her eyes slightly and said shyly: "Fei Yi, since you are a Xuan Yi Guard, then you should know about me, right?"

"Know."

"My father forced me to marry the King Ming, but I don't want to. But I know that he will find me sooner or later. But by then my reputation will be very bad. When the time comes, I will ask His Majesty for a marriage. Can we get married?"

The girl's eyes were wet, and her dark eyes were filled with affection.

She really planned to do so, she really wanted to marry him!

Pei Ji was surprised for a moment. He had expected this result. After all, he was the one who made it happen. But for some reason, he did not feel very happy in his heart.

He was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "I am just a Xuanyi Guard."

"I don't care who you are. I will marry you even if you are a beggar. I like you, Feiyi. I liked you the first time you saved me. Now you have saved me three times. Logically speaking, my life belongs to you. I will repay you with my life. Will you... agree to it?"

The girl bit her lips nervously, then quickly let go. Her bright red lips became red and slightly swollen due to the sensitivity, like a plump and juicy cherry.

The poison had not yet been resolved, and she licked her lips uncomfortably, her pink tongue tip sweeping across her swollen lower lip, and tears of rationality oozed from the corners of her eyes.

Pei Ji's gaze unconsciously fell on the girl's lips, lingering for a moment before moving away.

He cleared his throat, met the girl's eager eyes, and said after a long pause, "This matter is of great importance, Miss An, we need to consider it carefully."

In fact, what he should do most is to agree directly.

Tie her up first, then you don't have to worry about her falling in love with someone else.

Pei Ji had experienced his previous life. He had seen how An Jiu liked He Ziqing. He saw all of her admiration for He Ziqing.

Once this woman truly sets her mind on someone, she will never regret it, even if it means life or death.

However, when he truly gained her admiration at this moment and she so boldly confessed her love to him and proposed to him, the first feeling that arose in Pei Ji's heart was not satisfaction, but a trace of boredom.

Is it too easy?

He vaguely felt that the girl in front of him might like him, but definitely not to the extent that she liked He Ziqing in her previous life.

Pei Ji not only saw An Jiu fall in love with He Ziqing at first sight, he also witnessed the love between He Ziqing and Lin Qingyan.

That kind of emotion can even overcome the control of the love poison.

The cause of his death in his previous life was half due to the poison, and the other half was due to underestimating human emotions.

In his next life, Pei Ji learned his lesson and will never underestimate this again.

With the comparison, Pei Ji looked at the girl in front of him from a new perspective.

She looked at him expectantly with sparkling eyes, her expression eager and nervous. Her fingers tugged at her dress, revealing her inner anxiety and restlessness.

After hearing his answer, she was obviously very disappointed, but she did not completely lose hope. A smile soon appeared on her pale face, and she comforted herself by saying, "It's okay, that's right, we've only met a few times. When we spend more time together, we will become familiar with each other. Will you promise me then?"

Pei Ji looked at her coldly. Few people knew that it was actually difficult for him to understand the emotions of ordinary people.

Especially when it comes to positive emotions, he doesn't know why he laughs when ordinary people laugh. He can hardly empathize with people's expectations, emotions, happiness, joy, etc.

When he was a child, Pei Ji had not yet learned how to disguise himself. Even if someone died in front of him, he would not have any emotional reaction, so the people in the valley privately called him a little monster.

Later, he gradually discovered that stupid people often only look at people's appearance, and smile is the best cover-up.

So he learned to smile. The funny thing was that he just put on a mask, and people's attitude towards him became better and they began to praise him.

At this moment, Pei Ji couldn't tell how much the girl liked him, but he subconsciously felt that it was not enough.

It’s not enough, not as good as the impression she has of her feelings for He Ziqing.

A mysterious intuition told him so.

Perhaps, as she said, they spent too little time together and their relationship was not deep enough.

Thinking of this, Pei Ji nodded slowly: "...Okay."

"Fei Yi, can I see your face this time? We have met three times, and I still don't know what you look like."

The girl opened her bright eyes and looked at him eagerly.

"Sure." the man replied.

An Jiu was stunned. She didn't expect that he would agree!

Her heartbeat quickened and her eyes were fixed on the man's face. However, when he put on the mask with one hand and took off the silver mask on his face, a completely unfamiliar face was revealed!

???

Boy, he cheated!

How could she forget that one of the most distinctive features of the martial arts world is disguise?

The face that appeared in front of An Jiu had long, thick black eyebrows that slanted into the temples, a high nose bridge, slightly thick lips, but very white skin. His facial features were three-dimensional and deep, and sharper than his original face.

Pei Ji originally had a gentle face and was often smiling. Looking at him made people feel like they were in the spring breeze and gave people a feeling of gentleness and harmlessness.

Now this face is probably sculpted according to He Ziqing's style, upright and steady, full of righteousness, and at first glance he looks like a calm and comfortable man.

An Jiu: "..."

Perhaps she had been staring for too long, the man raised his hand and touched her cheek, and asked in a low voice: "How is it?"

This is a face he carefully designed, based on He Ziqing's appearance, and he was committed to creating her favorite style.

She stared at him like this, and Pei Ji was a little unsure for a moment whether she was satisfied or not.

Anjiu's eyes curved into a big smile, "Very good-looking! Feiyi... is very handsome, I like him very much."

After saying that, the girl lowered her head shyly, as if she was embarrassed.

Seeing this scene, Pei Ji felt a little relieved, but he also vaguely felt a strange sense of disharmony.

Maybe it's because she has changed too much, too different from usual.

Without further thought, he put on the mask again and said to the girl, "I'll take you away from here first."

An Jiu nodded obediently: "Okay."

She stretched out her arms to him and said in a gentle voice, as if it was a matter of course, "I can't get up. Carry me away."

Pei Ji paused, then leaned forward silently, picked up the girl and held her horizontally in his arms.

The man's chest was broad and warm. Knowing that she was poisoned, he deliberately protected her and did not allow any branches or leaves to touch the girl's body. He was skilled in martial arts, so even when walking in the deep mountains and old forests, his steps were as smooth as walking on flat ground.

An Jiu didn't sleep all night, and it was only at this moment that he finally felt a sense of comfort and peace of mind.

If there is any place in this world where she is safest, it must be with Pei Ji.

Even if his ultimate goal is to take her life, before that, he will definitely protect her as if she were his own life.

An Jiu's consciousness gradually became blurred. In this warm, small but reassuring arm, she allowed herself to sink completely into a deep and sweet sleep.

It's really ironic that they are clearly calculating against each other but at the same time acting so affectionate.

Before falling asleep, these words flashed through her mind.

It was like a fish jumping out of the water, flashing by for a moment, and then quickly sinking to the bottom of the sea.

Halfway through her sleep, An Jiu vaguely felt the shaking beneath her body stop and Pei Ji stopped walking. He carefully put her in a place. The warmth surrounding her body left and An Jiu struggled to pry open her eyelids.

She was so sleepy, the sleepiness tore at her and pulled her deeper.

An Jiu looked at the man vaguely and asked vaguely: "Are you leaving again?"

"Next time you want to see me, just blow the whistle," said the masked man.

As soon as he finished speaking, the girl fell asleep peacefully, as if she had received some promise, with unspoken trust in him in her eyes.

Pei Ji looked at her deeply for a while, then stood up and walked into the forest again.

It was not yet daybreak, so he still had time to kill the person who touched his things.

The author has something to say:

Pei Pei: Bad at love, only knows how to copy, ultimate bootlicker
