◎ "What kind of living Buddha is this? He is just a cripple."◎
Favorability prompts are still very important. For example, now, you can clearly observe Pei Ji's psychological reactions.
An Jiu turned off the like-minded reminder last night, and her efforts all night were in vain. She was so angry that she turned it on again this morning.
In order to prevent the screen from being flooded with messages like last time, and to not miss any news, she set it so that only the increase or decrease in favorability by more than 5 points would be reported.
Forget about 1 or 2 points. The little thing is too small, and the young lady doesn't care about it.
After An Jiu walked away, she didn't dare to look at Pei Ji any more. This man was too sharp. She just wanted to take a sneak peek at him, but he caught her immediately.
Caught off guard, she subconsciously glared at him.
The young man in white was slightly stunned, as if a little surprised, and then he narrowed his eyelashes and smiled softly.
An Jiu: Are you such a good actor?
She thought about it, and simply glared at him fiercely, then turned her head naturally.
[Pei Ji's favorability towards you +5, currently -101. ]
An Jiu:......
I see, Pei Ji is probably a bit of a masochist.
The more others ignore him, the more he looks up to them.
Both times his favorability was increased were by scolding him. An Jiu felt like he had found a smooth way to increase favorability!
Ji Xiang pulled An Jiu's sleeve and whispered, "Miss, why are you picking on Dr. Pei? It is said that Dr. Pei is a very good doctor. He has been providing free medical services in Jiufang City these days. The people in the city are very grateful to him and say that he is a living Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering."
An Jiu snorted, "What kind of living Buddha is this? He's just a cripple." He cursed again.
Hmm? Not adding it this time?
Yoshika was so frightened that she quickly covered her mouth and said, "Shh! Miss, be careful with your words! If someone hears you, they will scold you!"
An Jiu's words were harsh, but his body was very honest. He just stayed awkward and stopped talking.
On the other side, Ah Qi was also talking to Pei Ji about An Jiu: "Master, Miss An is really unruly. How about I find a chance to teach her a lesson?"
Pei Ji smiled as he looked at the crimson figure in the distance with its back to them.
The spoiled girl likes to wear red clothes, and she is impetuous and eccentric. She is holding a white robe in her arms, and the maid beside her wants to help her take it, but she refuses without hesitation and insists on holding the dress in her own hands, as if it has some special meaning.
The master and servant spoke in low voices, but to those who practiced martial arts, their voices were crystal clear.
Ah Qi speculated sarcastically, "It seems that Miss An was saved by a hero and fell in love with the chivalrous man who saved her last night. But the chivalrous man left before dawn without saying goodbye. I wonder if he couldn't stand her."
It's really unbearable.
I saw him many times a night, and even in my dreams, I would often wake up in panic to look for his figure.
Such a delicate, dependent existence that seems to break at the slightest bend is like a weak dodder clinging to a big tree. Once it loses its support, it will no longer be able to grow. It is so weak and incompetent that it is disgusting.
Fortunately, she was quite obedient and everything went according to his plan.
Pei Ji slightly averted his eyes, his eyes were warm, and he gently warned: "Ah Qi, she is just a weak lady from the boudoir. We are martial artists, why should we bother with her? You have overstepped the limit today, and you will be punished tonight."
His voice was gentle, his tone was neither hurried nor slow, and he didn't say a single harsh word, but the sturdy male servant Ah Qi behind him suddenly turned pale.
"Yes, sir." Ah Qi lowered his head and dared not speak nonsense anymore.
After the flower thief woke up, He Ziqing and Lin Qingyan forced him to reveal the whereabouts of other women. Soon, everyone learned that there was a secret passage under the dilapidated temple, leading to a secret place.
Everyone then realized that the flower thief seemed to be just a small fry, and there was someone behind the scenes.
The flower thief's martial arts skills are not very high, and he is only considered third-rate in the martial arts world. However, he has been bullying others in Jiufang City. The bounty order has been hanging in the county government for a long time, and he was not caught until He Ziqing came. This is unreasonable.
Obviously, he has someone protecting him.
This person may also be related to the county government.
The secret passage was hidden under a dilapidated Buddha statue and was found after a short while. However, looking at the dark entrance of the secret passage, no one dared to go down for a while.
No one knows if there are any hidden weapons underneath. If this flower thief uses a trick, they will never come back.
He Ziqing took the initiative to suggest, "Miss Lin, Brother Pei, I will take this thief down to investigate. Constable Liu will go to the county government to report. You wait here and make sure it is safe before coming in."
The victims' families all agreed.
An Jiu said at this time: "I want to go too!"
As soon as the voice came out, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"You little girl, with your thin arms and legs, won't you be a burden to Hero He and Miss Lin if you go with them?" someone said.
"That's right, little girl, if you have nothing to do, just go home."
He Ziqing said straightforwardly: "Miss An, we are going to rescue people, not to have fun. This trip may be dangerous, it is better for you to stay here."
"What does my going there have to do with you? Is this secret passage yours?"
An Jiu raised her eyebrows. Her face was naturally beautiful, like the scorching sky, and she was even more gorgeous when she was angry.
She raised her hand and pointed at Pei Ji beside her, her eyes widened, and said crisply: "If he can go, why can't I go? Can't I outrun a cripple?"
The girl's fingers were slender and white, and her nails were painted light pink, as delicate as onions.
When being called a cripple in public, Pei Ji merely suppressed his smile slightly, and his expression remained calm, which shows how magnanimous he is.
The others were mesmerized by her beauty for a moment and were speechless.
Lin Qingyan, the only one who was not affected, was furious and said coldly: "Miss An, please be careful with your words! Pei Ji is a great doctor. He can heal us if we are injured. What can you do by following us?"
The maid Ji Xiang also anxiously pulled her mistress's arm and kept trying to comfort her: "Miss, let's go back! The nurse is waiting for you at home, please don't let them worry!"
An Jiu is the type of person who will go against others the more they try to stop her.
This part is also written in the book. An Jiu insisted on following He Ziqing down the secret passage, but the reason given in the book was that she had become dependent on her savior, and would feel panicky and scared if she couldn't see He Ziqing, so she kept pestering him.
On the way through the secret passage, she held on to He Ziqing tightly and asked He Ziqing to protect her. Because of the appearance of An Jiu, the heroine Lin Qingyan indirectly realized her love for He Ziqing.
Isn’t the vicious female supporting role just a tool to promote the relationship between the male and female protagonists?
However, An Jiu was not trying to wake up the heroine this time. She just wanted to create more opportunities to spend time with Pei Ji.
An Jiu pursed his lips tightly and refused to give in: "Anyway, I want to go with you. I was almost killed. Don't I know who killed me?"
The eldest daughter insisted on her own way and no one could persuade her.
Finally, it was Pei Ji who spoke up, his voice gentle and considerate: "Since Miss An is determined, let's go together. Remember to stay by my side. Ah Qi is a martial arts expert and can protect you and me."
An Jiu snorted and said nothing.
Pei Ji, however, saw a few big words in her dark eyes: Who asked you to pretend to be kind?
He smiled slightly, his white jade-like face showing peace.
Pei Ji recalled that when he first met An Jiu in his previous life, she seemed to be so rude to him. This stupid woman, like everyone else in the world, was used to judging people by their appearance.
It's just that most people would pretend and wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal their inner thoughts. Only Anjiu kept calling him a cripple, showing all his emotions on his face, never hiding his inner thoughts.
I don't know whether to call her stupid or naive.
The young man in white narrowed his long and narrow black eyes slightly, hiding the cold light that flashed in his eyes.
Since it was decided, they didn't delay any more. He Ziqing led the flower thief down the secret passage first, followed by Lin Qingyan.
When it was Pei Ji's turn, he smiled faintly, holding the snow-white folding fan with his slender fingers, and gestured to An Jiu in a gentle and elegant manner: "Miss An, please go first."
An Jiu pushed away Ji Xiang's hand that was tightly holding her, handed her the white robe, and said to the crying little maid, "Go back to the Lin Mansion and tell the nurse that I will be back soon."
Then he walked to the secret passage, bent down and looked down.
This secret passage is about two meters from the ground. There is no staircase, so the only way to get down is to jump down. A height of two meters is no problem for a martial artist, but she is just a delicate lady and doesn't know martial arts at all, which is a bit troublesome.
An Jiu glanced down, his expression hesitant.
Seeing this, someone said, "Hey, little girl, you can't even get down, so you'd better stop making trouble."
"Who said I can't go down!"
An Jiu couldn't stand it when others said she was not capable. Upon hearing that, she ignored Ji Xiang's dissuasion, supported herself on the ground with her hands and jumped down.
"Miss! Miss, are you okay?" Yoshika squatted at the entrance of the secret passage, looking down anxiously.
An Jiu got up from the ground, patted the dirt off his body, looked up and said, "It's okay!"
It seemed that An Jiu was provoked and jumped down impulsively, but in fact she had made preparations before jumping. She chose the half-squatting position which had very little cushioning force, so she was safe after falling down. Except for her legs being a little numb, she was not injured.
The secret passage was very long, with roads in front and behind, and forks in the road from time to time. At this moment, He Ziqing and Lin Qingyan were catching a flower thief not far away and asking for directions.
An Jiu walked a few steps to the side, leaving the space at the entrance of the secret passage empty.
There was a rustling sound of wind blowing clothes, and Ah Qi was seen falling from the top of the cave, holding the armrests of a wheelchair with both hands. In the wheelchair sat a young man in white clothes, holding a folding fan, with a calm expression and indifferent eyes, and the corners of his snow-white robe fluttering in the wind.
When the wheelchair fell to the ground, there was only a slight muffled sound, as if what fell down was not two people and a wheelchair, but a light stone.
An Jiu's eyes widened as he looked at the scene in surprise.
Even though she had long understood that this was a world of martial arts, she still couldn't help being surprised when she saw such a magical scene with her own eyes.
"Miss An, what's wrong?" Pei Ji asked, noticing her look.
Before An Jiu could answer, Lin Qingyan's voice came from the front: "Pei Ji, go this way, follow closely and don't fall behind. The terrain here is very chaotic, with many forks in the road."
Pei Ji responded loudly: "Okay, Qingyan, you should be careful too." Then he turned to look at An Jiu and said gently, "Miss An, remember to follow me closely."
"Got it." An Jiu curled his lips secretly.
The second male lead is really hypocritical. Even after being reborn, he is still so nice to the female lead, and his tone of voice when talking to her is different.
Of course, it is not ruled out that he is pretending.
The secret passage was very long, with oil lamps hanging on the wall, flickering in the darkness.
An Jiu insisted on following along for a reason. She knew there would be no danger this time, but she still obediently walked beside Pei Ji.
Pei Ji didn't take the initiative to talk to her, and she didn't pay any attention to him.
The two of them remained silent all the way, as if they had nothing to do with each other, and only listened to the conversation between the male and female protagonists in front.
As they walked, she couldn't help but glance at him again and again.
The young man in white who was being peeped at did not look away, but seemed to know her little movements very well. When she looked at him again, he asked, "Why are you looking at me, Miss An?"
An Jiu blinked and quickly retorted: "Who, who said I looked at you!"
The girl was caught peeping at someone she hated. Her cheeks turned slightly red and she couldn't hide her embarrassment.
"Oh." Pei Ji slowly closed his folding fan, still with a faint smile on his lips, and said in a good-tempered manner, "Then I didn't read it."
An Jiu muttered quietly: "I didn't look at you in the first place, who would look at you?"
I don't know if the young man in white heard it or not, but he still had a smile on his face.
After walking for a while, the eldest lady couldn't hold back any longer. She pursed her lips and glanced at the young man in white who was sitting leisurely in the wheelchair.
"Hello."
"Hmm?" Pei Ji slightly tilted his eyes, his eyes were gentle, like the lake reflecting the sunset.
The girl's voice was weak, no longer as arrogant as before: "Can I learn your martial arts?"
Pei Ji was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "That depends on Miss An's qualifications."
An Jiu was waiting for this sentence, and immediately stretched out his hand and handed it to him: "Well, since you are a miracle doctor, you should be able to see it, right?"
In case he refused, she stared at Pei Ji suspiciously with her bright eyes and added, "Don't tell me you can't do it, okay?"
