Chapter 49



◎ "You are a good person."◎

That afternoon, Pei Ji welcomed a guest into his house whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

The girl walked in, looked around, and then went straight to the chaise longue and sat down, as if this was her own territory.

After sitting down, she turned to look at the young man in white in the wheelchair beside her.

"Pei Ji, give me an acupuncture."

It was just six words in one sentence, spoken in a very stiff voice, and coupled with her pouty little face, it was obvious that she was in a bad mood.

Most people go to the doctor to ask him to do things for them, but An Jiu is the only one who gives orders arrogantly and confidently, without caring about what others think.

Or maybe she had already figured out Pei Ji's bottom line, and knew that no matter how she treated him, he would never be angry, so she was fearless.

The young man in white was indeed good-tempered. He was stunned for a moment, then he gently curved his lips and pushed the wheelchair over, asking with concern, "Miss An, are you in a bad mood?"

An Jiu had received injections several times and was already familiar with the entire process. When she saw him approaching, she took off her shoes, got on the couch, and lifted up her sleeves to reveal her arms.

She closed her eyes tiredly and said in a cold tone: "My affairs have nothing to do with you."

Pei Ji opened the acupuncture bag, sat down beside the couch, and smiled faintly, "I am just concerned about Miss An. If Miss An doesn't want to say it, then there is no need to say it."

An Jiu lifted one eyelid, glanced at him with a knowing look, and snorted coldly: "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking."

Pei Ji was slightly stunned, the silver needle on his fingertips hanging in the air. He looked up at her with a slightly surprised expression: "My thoughts?"

An Jiu looked at him with a look that said, "No matter how much you pretend, I see through you." She hummed softly, "You are plotting against me. I know it all."

Without waiting for Pei Ji's response, she said in a more serious tone, "Don't think of me. I don't like you. I have someone I like. Do you understand? You are a cripple. How dare you do that? Remember not to get close to me in the future. We should not interfere with each other!"

A series of words rolled out like wheels, and Pei Ji was unable to react for a moment.

These words must have been stuck in the girl's heart for a long time, and she couldn't help but express them.

After saying this, she closed her eyes again, and her complexion improved slightly, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her heart.

The young man in white was stunned for a long time without coming back to his senses. The girl lay there for a while and didn't feel the needle. She raised her eyelashes quietly and glanced at him secretly.

The young man's white clothes were whiter than snow, and his robes were spotless. He sat there with his eyes lowered, the breeze blowing through the window and ruffling his hair, his fair and handsome face was filled with confusion.

An Jiu pursed her lips, feeling a little guilty.

Oh no, did she say something too harsh just now? Will he not give her injections again in the future?

"Hey... you're not angry, are you? Pei Ji, don't be so petty, I didn't mind what you did that night..." At this point, the girl stopped talking, her cheeks slightly red, and she changed the subject awkwardly, "Anyway, let's just be ordinary friends from now on, and let's write off everything that happened before. We don't owe each other anything, okay?"

The man's black eyes flickered slightly when he touched the light blush spreading across the girl's cheek.

He had already realized that An Jiu was certain that "Pei Ji" had a crush on her, and he couldn't clarify it for the time being.

Thinking of this, Pei Ji lowered his eyebrows and smiled, saying calmly: "Then let's do as Miss An said."

Seeing his indifferent reaction, the girl looked at him suspiciously, unable to believe that he could remain so calm after being rejected.

Although she was suspicious, she didn't say anything.

Just then Pei Ji had started the acupuncture, so An Jiu closed his eyes and went to rest.

She didn't sleep well last night, and as soon as she lay down, she felt sleepy. An Jiu didn't resist the sleepiness and gradually fell into a dream.

When I woke up again, it was already dusk. The sky outside the window was filled with rosy clouds, and the golden afterglow of the setting sun fell on the ground, like a field of scattered gold.

An Jiu was sleeping soundly, her whole body limp and her mind still a little confused. She slowly stood up from the couch, and a thin quilt slipped off her chest.

She took it subconsciously, and the slightly bitter medicinal aroma filled her nostrils, exactly the same as the scent of the young man in white.

She sat there blankly for a while, and suddenly heard a subtle sound not far away. She turned around and saw a snow-white figure sitting quietly by the window, with waist-length black hair hanging behind him, holding a book in his hands with distinct joints. The golden sunset fell on the man, making his already gentle face even gentler, and his long eyelashes looked like golden feathers.

Noticing her gaze, the elegant young man in white raised his eyelids slightly and looked at her with warm eyes.

"Miss An is awake?"

An Jiu hummed lazily and said nothing.

Pei Ji continued, "The acupuncture is done. Miss An can leave on her own. I will not see you off."

An Jiu didn't move. She had slept for too long and her bones seemed to be soft. She leaned lazily on the couch and didn't want to move.

She tilted her head and stared at the young man in white without blinking.

The girl's gaze fell on the man vaguely, without any extra emotion, as if she was just looking at him.

Pei Ji found it hard to ignore the feeling of being watched. He looked up from his book again and asked with a smile, "What are you reading, Miss An?"

The girl, whose cheeks were red and her face was full of seductiveness but she was still unaware of it, blinked and said slowly: "Pei Ji, I found that you actually have a very good advantage."

"What advantages?" Pei Ji rubbed the pages of the book with his fingertips.

An Jiu's face was extremely serious, and he said word by word: "You are a good person."

Pei Ji: “…”

The man's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he felt a sense of absurdity in his heart, as if a wolf was treated as a sheep and was praised sincerely. He had never seen such an incredible thing in his life.

After giving him such a high evaluation, the girl seemed to be lost in her own thoughts. She lowered her head, bit her lip, and a thoughtful look appeared on her face.

Pei Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, wondering what she was thinking of.

Every time she was with An Jiu, she could always bring him extra novel experiences.

After a while, the girl gradually woke up from her thoughts, glanced at him with the corners of her rosy eyes, with an expression as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Pei Ji was considerate and asked, "Miss An, do you have anything to say?"

An Jiu nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: "If you find that the person you like is not as good as you imagined, what will you do?"

Pei Ji's face was slightly stunned, and a hint of inquiry flashed across his eyes as he looked at the girl.

He pondered for a while, then asked tentatively: "What is good? What is bad?"

"I don't know." The girl's face wrinkled in confusion. Her patience quickly ran out due to her mixed emotions. She shook her head irritably. "Forget it. Why should I tell you this? You don't understand."

She sighed deeply, and the grogginess she had just felt when she woke up gradually faded away.

The girl got up, put on her shoes, said a perfunctory "thank you", patted her sleeves and walked away.

The fiery red skirt brushed over the threshold and disappeared around the corner.

Pei Ji's expression was as calm as ever. This woman was always like this, she would throw things away after using them.

He would not be used to it if one day she was extremely grateful to him.

He lowered his eyes expressionlessly, thinking about what the girl had just said, with an unfathomable darkness in his dark eyes.

As the sky gradually darkened and night fell, Ah Qi quietly walked into the door, closed it, and said, "Sir, everything has been arranged. Did you get the secret book?"

Pei Ji was silent for a while.

He still couldn't figure out why he agreed to her in a moment of confusion last night.

Seeing him silent, Ah Qi immediately misunderstood and asked in confusion: "Could it be that Jin Yanwan doesn't have the secret manual?"

"No, I've got it."

In fact, he now has a freshly-published secret book in his hand. Pei Ji has read it and found that there is indeed not a single mistake in it.

She had been reciting silently all night last night just to write the secret book, which was why she couldn't control herself and fell asleep next to him today.

Thinking of this, Pei Ji felt very unhappy.

If he hadn't promised her, and didn't want to destroy the image of "Fei Yi" in her mind, how could he let Jin Yanwan go so easily?

The young man in white had a calm expression on his face, not wanting to talk about this topic anymore. He asked in a cold voice, "Is everything arranged?"

Ah Qi said respectfully: "It's all arranged. All the assassins are in place. We can start the action tomorrow."

Pei Ji nodded: "Not bad."

Ah Qi paused, a trace of doubt appeared on his face, but he couldn't help asking: "Master, there is one thing I don't understand, why do we have to do this... Didn't you already get the secret book?"

Ah Qi has been busy these days with the orders given by the young master. Although he never asks any questions and just does his job, there are traces of the orders given by the young master in the past. But this time, he really doesn't understand why the young master gave such an order.

Pei Ji asked him to gather the assassins from Qiansha Pavilion to the vicinity of Jinshe Villa, and wait until the day when the secret book was opened. If any accident occurred during the process, he would lead the assassins to kill some people.

He gave him a list. Many people on the list were senior elders from major martial arts sects, all of whom were top-notch masters. Although Qiansha Pavilion had also developed for many years, its foundation was not as good as those century-old sects. What's more, those people were not from the same sect and almost encompassed the entire martial arts world.

Against the entire martial arts world, will Qiansha Pavilion really not be destroyed?

Ah Qi couldn't figure it out, but he wasn't one to keep secrets, so he just asked directly.

In fact, he still had a question. Ever since entering the Golden Snake Villa, the young master had been paying close attention to Jin Yanwan. Ah Qi didn't understand the reason at first, but he found out yesterday that Jin Yanwan had actually stolen the secret book.

How did you know about this, young master?

Could it be that the young master can predict the future?

Ah Qi was completely confused and asked the young master about it, but he didn't get an answer.

However, his awe of the young master became even deeper, and he felt that the young master was becoming more unfathomable and difficult to guess.

Hearing his question, Pei Ji curled the corners of his lips without any warmth.

"Why do you do this? Of course, it's because they offended me." He opened his folding fan with a snap, and his white fingertips gently brushed across the white jade fan bones, his eyebrows and eyes full of cold smiles, "Don't worry, one day, they will be unable to take care of themselves, we just need to take advantage of the chaos to ignite the fire."

Pei Ji always remembered the battle before his death in his previous life, and how many people had attacked him.

Even if they haven't conquered him in this life, so what?

He could let He Ziqing go for Lin Qingyan's sake, but he would not let those mobs go.

Tomorrow is the day when the secret book will be opened. The Demon Cult is about to attack, and the Thousand Killing Pavilion is mixed in with them. Even if some people are killed, they will only blame the crime on the Demon Cult.

What does the killing of people by the Demon Cult have to do with the Thousand Killings Pavilion and Pei Ji?

Nice guy? Haha... Ridiculous.

The author has something to say:

Miss: Nice guy card, ding.

Pei Pei: ???
