◎“Can I still trust you?”◎
Six days after their mysterious disappearance, He Ziqing and Lin Qingyan suddenly returned.
I don’t know how they found me, but when An Jiu woke up, he ran into them in the yard.
As soon as he saw her, He Ziqing immediately showed a relieved expression: "Anjiu, I'm so glad you're okay! I knew that Brother Pei would take good care of you."
It was He Ziqing who agreed to take her with him and promised to protect her. He Ziqing felt that An Jiu was his responsibility, and he should have stayed outside to recuperate more, but because he was worried about An Jiu, he rushed back early.
Hearing him say this, An Jiu subconsciously looked at Lin Qingyan.
Sure enough, there was a hint of resentment in the eyes of the girl in green as she looked at her.
An Jiu: "..."
Why hasn't the hero figured it out yet? She doesn't want to be the heroine's love rival.
An Jiu laughed dryly and said, "Yes, that day when I was in danger, Dr. Pei blocked an arrow for me. I don't know how to thank him."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Qingyan's expression changed immediately, and she asked nervously: "Is Pei Ji injured? Is the injury serious?"
Before An Jiu could say anything, a man's clear and gentle voice came from the side: "It's just a minor injury, nothing serious. How about you? Where have you been for so long?"
When they turned around, they saw a handsome young man in snow-white clothes and black hair sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed out slowly by Ah Qi.
The young man had a face as white as jade, with a gentle and gentle smile on his face, and a smooth white folding fan in his bony hands. At the first sight of him, one feels as if bathed in a spring breeze.
"Brother Pei." He Ziqing greeted him. Seeing that he looked normal, he felt relieved and said with a smile, "We have found the fortune teller Wuming. I have asked him to calculate the whereabouts of the person we are looking for. Next, I plan to go find that person. What do you think, Brother Pei?"
He Ziqing must go find that person. This was his master's last wish before he died, and he would fulfill it no matter what.
However, this trip might require another tiring journey, with people sleeping in the open air. For Pei Ji and An Jiu, who have no martial arts skills, it would be a tough job.
He Ziqing originally planned to leave them here while he and Miss Lin went to look for someone.
Unexpectedly, Pei Ji asked: "Where is the person you are looking for?"
He Ziqing said, "Master Wuming said that we don't know the man's exact location, but we calculated that he is near Wudeng Peak on Guangyang Road. We will definitely be able to find him if we go there."
Pei Ji heard this and pondered for a moment before saying, "I remember that Wudeng Peak seems to be not far from Wuyin Temple?"
Everyone was stunned, not understanding why he suddenly mentioned Wuyin Temple.
Lin Qingyan thought about it and nodded, "As I remember, Wudeng Peak is indeed less than a hundred miles away from Wuyin Temple, both in the southeast direction."
Pei Ji's eyebrows curved slightly and he smiled, "In that case, we will have to travel together from now on. Wuyin Temple sent me a message two days ago saying that the abbot of Wuyin Temple, Master Zhenyi, has been in seclusion for many years and is about to come out, and asked me to diagnose his pulse."
Lin Qingyan was stunned: "Master Zhenyi is coming out of seclusion?"
Master Zhenyi is extremely famous in the martial arts world because thirty years ago, it was he who severely injured the previous Demon Cult leader, Evil Ghost Face, causing great damage to the Demon Cult and causing it to remain dormant for decades.
Unfortunately, Master Zhenyi also suffered damage to his foundation in that battle, and he secluded himself for many years to recuperate and never appeared in the world again.
The Wuyin Temple where Master Zhenyi is located is a secluded place and usually does not get involved in the trivial matters of the martial arts world. Even for this grand event at the Golden Snake Villa, the Wuyin Temple did not send anyone to attend. This shows how low-key it is.
The person who originally diagnosed Master Zhenyi's pulse was Pei Ji's father Pei Zhou, but Pei Zhou had died, so the person who received the letter this time became Pei Ji.
Pei Ji smiled slightly and said, "Master Zhenyi and my father have a history, so I naturally have to go there. I can't refuse this trip."
Lin Qingyan nodded in agreement: "Yes, Master Zhenyi has come out of seclusion. If others knew about this, the martial arts world would be bustling again."
The two were chatting enthusiastically, but He Ziqing and An Jiu, who were standing beside them, only understood half of what was being said.
Neither of them knew who Master Zhenyi was.
He Ziqing scratched his head and said, "That is to say, Brother Pei is going to Wuyin Temple next, and will go to Wudeng Peak with me?"
Pei Ji nodded and said, "Not bad."
He Ziqing didn't hesitate and said directly: "Why don't we set off tomorrow?"
So the travel plan was set.
As for An Jiu's opinion, no one asked. After all, she was just a figurehead in the group, and she had no choice but to follow along.
On the last night before leaving, An Jiu received a letter sent by an owl.
This was the first time that "Fei Yi" took the initiative to send her a letter.
Before, she always sent him messages and he replied, but he never took the initiative to send her a letter.
When An Jiu opened the letter, she found out that it was an invitation for her to go out and meet him.
My goodness, if this is really modern online chatting, then it is an online couple. The boy asked the girl to meet offline for the first time. It is so straightforward that his bad intentions are written on his face.
Would she still go even though she knew he had bad intentions?
Of course...I'm going!
The moon rises above the willows, and we make an appointment after dusk.
An Jiu quietly slipped out of the house. Jinshe Town was no longer as lively as before, but there were still many people on the streets.
She walked along the street until she came to the shop where she had bought the cakes.
There is no lantern festival now, but the lady selling sugar cakes is still there. When she saw her coming, she greeted her with a smile and said, "Miss, would you like to buy sugar cakes?"
Seeing that she was alone, he asked with concern, "Why can't you see your husband? There are many knights in this town, and you are a very beautiful girl. It might not be safe for you to go out alone at night."
An Jiu narrowed her eyes and said, "Don't be afraid, he will be here soon."
She bought a bag of cakes and had just paid when she turned around to see a tall and straight man in black standing not far behind her.
This time he was not wearing a mask, revealing an upright face, and his black eyes stared at her quietly.
As night fell, lights came on in the houses along the street. The dim light fell on his black clothes without a trace of other colors, revealing a sense of inexplicable loneliness.
An Jiu paused and slowly walked towards him.
She walked up to the man and looked up at him.
"Feiyi, what do you want to talk to me about?"
There was no longer the joy in the girl's eyes as when they met in the past. Instead, there was only a silent and indifferent look.
Her eyes were calm, showing no loss or sadness, she just looked at him calmly, as if waiting for an answer.
She didn't seem to care what the answer was.
This discovery made the man's heart tighten, and the fingers hanging at his sides curled up and clenched into fists.
"I……"
As soon as he opened his mouth, the girl suddenly interrupted him.
"Don't talk about it here, let's go somewhere quieter."
After she finished speaking, the girl turned around and walked forward quickly.
She walked hurriedly, head down, looking at the street, the ground, and the surrounding scenery, but not at him.
The man said nothing, but followed her closely.
He knew that she was angry, and when a young lady is angry, she has to be coaxed and let her vent her anger.
"Right here."
The girl stopped and stood under a big willow tree.
The willow trees grew by the river, and the houses on the street were some distance away from here. There was no one on the river bank at night. The two of them could hear nothing but the gurgling water and the sound of insects and frogs.
The night enveloped them, and their figures seemed to melt into the darkness, and they could no longer see each other's expressions.
The girl leaned against the railing on the river bank, lowered her head, and said softly, "You can tell me now."
Pei Ji was speechless for a moment, he didn't know where to start.
As if sensing his embarrassment, the girl asked again: "Do you need me to ask you?"
Without waiting for his response, she continued, "Fei Yi, is this your name? Are you really a Xuan Yi Guard? You said you were being hunted, but I asked others and they all said they didn't know there was a person named Fei Yi."
At this point, the girl's voice suddenly rose a little, ringing sharply in my ears: "I just want to know, who are you? How much of what you said to me is true, and how much is false?"
She had not been looking at him at first, but at this moment she raised her face and stared at him closely.
In those dark and bright eyes, there was a rippling watery color and tears welled up.
"You lied to me about all this, didn't you?"
The girl's red lips opened and closed, uttering broken, choked words.
She didn't cry, but just held back tears, and her eyes were filled with tears. Her eyes seemed to have suddenly shattered into countless mirrors, and in each mirror was a crying girl, questioning him again and again.
"You don't like me at all, do you?"
Although there was no expression on her face, Pei Ji seemed to be able to feel that the girl was sadder than ever before.
His heart felt like it was being grasped and squeezed by a hand, making it difficult for him to breathe.
The man's eyes moved slightly, and he subconsciously reached out and grabbed the girl's slender wrist.
He pulled her into him, wrapping his arms tightly around her waist.
The girl subconsciously struggled twice, but soon stopped as he tightened his grip.
Only after he had completely hugged the girl did the sudden feeling of panic gradually dissipate.
At that moment just now, Pei Ji vaguely felt that she was very far away from him and would soon fly away.
His Adam's apple rolled, and he said in a deep voice: "I did lie to you about some things, but one thing is true."
The girl raised her head from his arms and looked at him with tearful eyes: "What's the matter?"
The man lowered his eyes and looked at her. He opened his thin lips slightly and uttered four words in a low voice.
"……I like you."
In the past, he was not very good at saying such sweet words, and he was always very tongue-tied in front of her. But this time, the words came out of his mouth very naturally, without any hindrance.
After saying this, he pursed his lips helplessly, his eyelashes trembling slightly, and he felt a burning sensation spreading in his ears.
My heart also felt inexplicably hot.
The girl's face was no longer smiling, tears were glistening in her eyes, she bit her lip and asked him: "Can I still trust you?"
The man stared at her with deep eyes: "You can always trust me."
The girl then slightly curved her eyes and revealed a hint of a smile, but she still didn't look very happy.
Pei Ji didn't know what she was thinking, so he thought she still had doubts about him. But this kind of trust was easier to destroy than to cultivate, so he had to coax her well next.
At this time, the girl asked again: "Fei Yi, can you tell me your true identity?"
Pei Ji hesitated for a moment. Before he could decide whether to say the name Xian Wuming, the girl suddenly shook her head and said, "Forget it, let's not say it."
When he looked over in confusion, she said self-deprecatingly, "Now that you've said it, I can no longer pretend not to know." She paused for a moment, then looked up at him and asked, "I only ask one thing of you. From now on, don't do anything to my friends, okay?"
The girl looked nervous, with pleading eyes.
She was afraid that he would not agree.
The man was silent for a moment, and then he nodded slowly and agreed: "Okay, I promise you."
The girl then smiled brightly, held his hand, and put the paper bag of candy in her hand into the man's palm.
The sweet smell of the cake lingered in her nose, and she said to him softly, "Thank you, Feiyi. I hope you will keep your promise. If you don't, I will never forgive you."
