◎Is she surrounded by naive people?◎
"Miss An, my lady invites you."
A maid wearing the unique yellow shirt of Golden Snake Villa stood at the door of the house and spoke respectfully to the girl inside.
After a while, the sound of footsteps was heard in the house, and a fiery girl in a red dress ran out of the door with brisk and excited steps.
"I'm coming! I'll bring some storybooks for Yan Wan to read!"
The girl was holding a few storybooks in her hands, with a bright smile on her face, and she left with her maid.
Across a small garden, the young man in white sat on the corridor on the other side and had a panoramic view of it all.
He lowered his eyes slightly, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing the handle of the fan, his face showing a thoughtful look.
This was the second day after they returned from the Lantern Festival. An Jiu's attitude towards "Pei Ji" remained the same as before, and he was still rude to him.
He expected this and didn't take it too seriously.
What surprised Pei Ji was that for some unknown reason, An Jiu and Jin Yanwan had an intersection.
On the first day back at the village, Jin Yanwan came personally to give Anjiu many jewelry gifts that women like. She stayed in Anjiu's house for a long time and was reluctant to leave.
Having lived his life again, Pei Ji naturally already knew how the future would develop.
Miss Jin, who is seen as weak and frail by everyone, will do something shocking like stealing secret manuals in the near future, shocking everyone.
In her previous life, An Jiu and Miss Jin did not know each other. She was always following He Ziqing, competing with Lin Qingyan for his favor, and had hardly met Miss Jin.
Maybe he changed something this time, so his fate changed.
There are still six days left before the secret book is unlocked. Jin Yanwan should have had the intention to steal. What is her intention in taking the initiative to get to know An Jiu at this time?
Thinking that the woman might have been foolishly plotted against by someone, Pei Ji couldn't help but frown slightly, with a look of surprise on his face.
He turned his head slightly and said to Ah Qi who was standing behind him, "Ah Qi, send someone to keep a close eye on Jin Yanwan. If she makes any unusual movements, report them to me."
Ah Qi said, "I followed your instructions yesterday and sent him there. The one guarding there now is Sha Qi."
"Not bad." Pei Ji nodded slightly.
He returned to the room, picked up the medical book on the table and continued to read it. However, the words and sentences today seemed extremely difficult to understand. He read for a long time but only read two or three pages. When he thought about it, his mind was blank.
The young man in white closed his eyes slightly, threw the book away after a moment, turned around and asked Ah Qi: "Ask what she is doing over there."
Ah Qi grinned, looking understanding.
He knew that the young master was thinking about Miss An. His restless look showed his worries clearly on his face.
Ah Qi didn't even ask who she was, and went to the window to deliver the message.
Qiansha Pavilion uses a unique signal to transmit messages. From a long distance, it sounds like an owl, and from a close distance, a lifelike bird cry comes out of its mouth. Others will definitely not be able to tell that it is a person calling, and will just think it is a bird in the mountains and forests. It is extremely secretive.
Less than a moment after Ah Qi sent out the signal, a black shadow suddenly fell in front of the window.
The man was dressed in black and had a black cloth covering his face. He seemed to be wrapped in darkness, with only a pair of clear black and white eyes visible on his body.
Ah Qi was wearing a silver mask at this time, with a cold aura around him. He asked calmly, "What was Jin Yanwan doing just now?"
The man in black didn't even move his eyes, as if he was a wooden sculpture. A hoarse voice came from under the black cloth, with a dull tone and no ups and downs.
"Jin Yanwan got up early in the morning, drank a bowl of bird's nest, took a medicine, and then sent someone to invite Miss An to be her guest. After Miss An came, the two of them went into the study and read a storybook in the study."
"That's all?" Ah Qi said in a low voice, sounding dissatisfied.
The man in black said, "There is a maidservant beside Jin Yanwan who is quite skilled. To avoid being discovered, I did not enter the study and only monitored from outside. Jin Yanwan did not make any special moves."
Ah Qi nodded and said in a deep voice, "Go ahead and continue to observe. Report everything they do in a timely manner."
The man in black said nothing and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Pei Ji slowly came out from behind the screen that was invisible from the window. Ah Qi took off his mask and smiled, and the terrifying aura on his body suddenly dissipated.
Every time Ah Qi pretended to be "Xian Wuming", he would imitate his own master's daily words and deeds, and that aura of authority without anger would immediately emerge. The effect was very good, and the killers under him seemed to be very afraid of him.
"Sir, you heard it too. Nothing happened. They were just reading a storybook together for fun. What are you worried about?"
Ah Qi was a little confused. The young master didn't mind An Jiu and Ming Yi playing together, but cared about Miss Jin instead?
In Ah Qi's opinion, there was really nothing worth paying attention to about Jin Yanwan, and he didn't know why the young master had someone monitor her.
Pei Ji said nothing, but just said: "You will understand in a few days."
On the other side, in Jin Yanwan's courtyard, the faint laughter of a young girl could be heard from time to time in the air, as clear as a silver bell.
In ancient times, study rooms were generally important places, and windows would not be too large to prevent thieves from prying open the windows and stealing valuables.
Sha Qi hid in the apricot blossom forest outside the window. The distance was too far and he could only hear the faint sounds of conversation but could not hear clearly what they were saying.
An Jiu raised his eyes imperceptibly and glanced at the apricot blossom forest outside the window.
It is late spring, the apricot blossoms have already bloomed, and now the branches are full of lush green without any trace of flowers.
She asked the system in her heart: "System, are you sure that the person outside can't hear us talking?"
【OK. Host, please do not question the correctness of the system. 】
"hehe."
An Jiu sneered in response.
The longer they knew each other, the more she understood the nature of this system. It was usually as quiet as a chicken and acted like a piece of trash, never offering help or reminders on its own initiative. Only when she strongly requested it would it search and give some hints.
Just like a big villain, she is so stingy. She said so many sweet words and did so many little actions, and she tried so hard to win him over, but her favorability only increased by 5 points.
They are all stingy Grandets.
"Anjiu, do you understand this book?"
Jin Yanwan's gentle voice rang in his ears, and An Jiu came back to his senses and looked over with complicated eyes.
She really didn't expect that Jin Yanwan asked her to come over today not to play with her, but to show her the secret book!
Yes, it was the secret manual of magical skills that the entire martial arts world longed for, and she had stolen it!
It is said that after Anjiu's "guidance" that day, Jin Yanwan suddenly became enlightened. That night, many people went to watch the lantern festival and the guards in the villa were much more relaxed, so she took the opportunity to steal the secret book.
Stealing the secret book would be fine, An Jiu already knew she would do that.
What really exceeded her expectations was that Jin Yanwan actually wanted to share this secret book with her!
In response to An Jiu's questions, Jin Yanwan had her own explanation.
"My father was going to share the secret book with people from other sects, so one more person won't make a difference. Besides, after our conversation that day, I considered you my best friend. I think we are the same kind of people, aren't we?"
Jin Yanwan's eyes were burning, and she looked at An Jiu eagerly, "I won't be wrong, we are the same kind, you have the same ambition as me. In this case, why don't I share it with you? You must need it too, right?"
An Jiu was speechless and had nothing to say.
Jin Yanwan was right, they did have some similarities, but An Jiu felt that she was not as simple as her.
Does she really understand what a treasure is? Such an important thing, she shared it so easily with someone she had only known for two days. Isn't Jin Yanwan really a naive person?
Could it be that the aura of the vicious female supporting character is only meant to attract naive and innocent people?
Ming Yi is one, Jin Yanwan is also one, she is almost surrounded by naive people!
An Jiu took a deep breath and touched the pages of the book. Suddenly he found that the ink on the pages was very new and slightly damp.
Her eyebrows moved slightly, and she asked Jin Yanwan: "Isn't this the original book?"
Jin Yanwan shook her head and said in surprise, "Of course it's not the original. I copied it overnight and put the original back. If I took the original, I would definitely be discovered when I opened the box. There are many capable people in the martial arts world, and they will find me sooner or later. How could I do such a stupid thing?"
An Jiu: “…” It turns out you are not a naive person.
She cleared her throat and said nonchalantly, "I don't understand some parts. Let me take a look."
This book of magical skills secrets is not thick, and the words used are simple and concise. An Jiu does not know martial arts, so he is confused after reading it. He can only memorize it for the time being.
Fortunately, An Jiu has a very good memory. She has had the ability to remember everything she has learned since she was a child. It is often difficult for her to forget what she has learned, and she only needs to recite it once to remember it. Therefore, she was called a child prodigy at a young age and won the favor of her grandfather.
While reading, An Jiu was thinking in his heart.
It was written in the original novel that Jin Yanwan stole the secret book two days before it was unboxed. She was uneasy and panicked, and happened to meet the male and female protagonists at night. In her panic, she did not have time to return the original secret book.
Now with the addition of An Jiu, the plot has taken another turn.
Jin Yanwan awakened early, and took advantage of the good opportunity of the Jinshe Town Lantern Festival to steal the secret book, and returned the original one. In other words, the theft of the secret book in the plot was completely lied to!
The highlights of the male and female protagonists disappeared again. An Jiu touched his conscience and felt inexplicably guilty.
In the original novel, He Ziqing had already made quite a name for himself in the martial arts world, but now these two are still serving as guards for the Golden Snake Villa.
It is said that the reason they become guards is not only out of moral obligation, but also because Jin Youhui will give them a generous commission.
It's so miserable that the hero and heroine of the book have ended up like this!
But thinking about his own ending, An Jiu silently withdrew his hand.
Instead of feeling sorry for the male and female protagonists, it is better to worry about herself. After being told her fortune by the fortune teller Wuming, An Jiu was not completely indifferent. She still felt a little anxious.
Will she die, when will she die, how will she die, and will she complete her mission before she dies?
These are all problems.
There was also the upcoming attack by the demon cult, so she had to prepare in advance.
While he was thinking, Jin Yanwan brought over a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and said to An Jiu, "An Jiu, I have prepared paper and pen for you. You can copy a copy and take it back."
An Jiu just read the last page. She raised her head and took a long breath. She slowly closed the book and smiled slightly, "No need. I have memorized everything."
In the tree outside the window, Sha Qi once again heard the sound of birds calling him.
He raised his head to look at the two girls who seemed to be reading a storybook together in the room. After a moment's silence, he tapped the branches with his toes and flew away. The branches of the apricot tree swayed slightly, and two green leaves fell.
