◎ “What is a mental illness?”◎
"Xia Yan, this is too miserable..."
Under a lush and green tree, a girl in a red dress sat on a tree root with her knees hugged, her pointed chin resting on her knees, biting her lips and muttering to herself.
"System, what else did Pei Ji do?"
【He didn't do anything and will be out soon. 】
There was a hint of surprise across An Jiu's face, but he also felt that it was natural.
Although she ran out with Feichen, she didn't actually go to find Feichen. She was just pretending.
After running out of the hall, she found a hidden place and let the system help her monitor the situation inside.
In the plot, Pei Ji attacks Master Zhenyi at this moment, but to An Jiu's surprise, Pei Ji did not attack Master Zhenyi this time, and Master Zhenyi also told Pei Ji such a story.
Pei Ji's parents' experiences were not mentioned in the book at all, and this was the first time An Jiu heard about it.
"It's so tragic, so tragic. Hua Mei has done so much harm to people." An Jiu sighed.
But it can also be seen from here that Pei Ji should have never felt the love of his family. His mother went crazy after he was born, and Pei Zhou... should hate this child very much, right?
This also explains why Pei Ji developed his current personality.
If one has never experienced warmth since childhood, it will be difficult for him to have a healthy personality when he grows up.
Children who grow up in love will never lack love, and children who grow up in hatred will naturally never lack hatred.
There must be something pitiful about a hateful person. The ancients were not deceiving me.
An Jiu suddenly thought that Pei Ji did not act according to the original book, and he couldn't help but feel worried.
"If Pei Ji doesn't kill Master Zhenyi, how is he going to get the Bodhi seed? Isn't it said that the Bodhi seed has always been kept by Master Zhenyi himself?"
【The system doesn’t know. 】
"Rubbish system, I didn't ask you."
This system is useless except for reporting favorability. The remote surveillance function was recently developed by An Jiu, and it can only monitor the movements within Pei Ji's range, so it is not of much use.
It's really a mascot.
[Host, please be careful with your words. Also, Pei Ji, the target of your capture, has already reached 62 in favorability towards you.]
"Hmm???" A string of question marks floated over An Jiu's head.
When she pulled up the system background from her mind, she realized that all the way from Jinshe Town to Wuyin Temple, Pei Ji had been giving her +1-2+2-1 to improve her favorability.
Previously, An Jiu thought the favorability reports were too noisy, so she blocked all the favorability increases and decreases below 5 points, so she didn't notice the increase in favorability during this period of time.
Looking at the long row of favorability prompts, An Jiu couldn't help but smack his lips.
Perhaps he has been under a lot of stimulation these days, and his psychological activities are too intense.
At this moment, the sound of a wheelchair rolling was heard slowly from the entrance of the hall not far away. An Jiu did not have time to think more, and quickly jumped up, straightened her clothes, and walked over there pretending to be calm.
After a while, he ran into Pei Ji head-on. The man was wearing snow-white clothes and had black hair. His fair face was calm and peaceful, and the gaze he gave him was as gentle and warm as always.
However, Ah Qi, who was pushing his wheelchair from behind, did not look very well, and looked inexplicably heavy.
As if sensing the inquiry in An Jiu's eyes, Pei Ji raised his eyes silently and asked with a smile: "Miss An, what is this...?"
An Jiu quickly restrained his expression and said nonchalantly: "Nothing, I just wanted to ask about the results of your diagnosis for the master."
Pei Ji said calmly: "Really? Miss An cares about this? As far as I know, Miss An and Master Zhenyi have never met each other."
The girl in the red skirt pursed her lips and said hesitantly, "You, you care about me. I just saw that Master Feichen cares about his master, so I asked for help."
"I see."
Hearing this, the young man in white remained expressionless. He just looked at her quietly with his pair of dark eyes, his lips still curled up, but one could not sense any warmth from them.
His fingertips slowly stroked the white jade folding fan, and he spoke word by word, "Then Miss An can tell him that Master Zhenyi's time is coming to an end and he will pass away soon. I wonder what Feichen will think when he hears this?"
As he said these words, his expression was still full of smiles, without any change at all.
There was even a hint of malice lingering in his dark eyes, and he stared at the girl's pretty face as if he was watching a good show.
After hearing this, the girl's delicate pink cheeks suddenly turned slightly pale, and her expression was uncontrollably flustered.
"You, Pei Ji, what nonsense are you talking about! What about the deadline? You must be lying to me!" She took two steps back and screamed in a timid voice.
"Miss An, just think that I lied to you. Do you still want to tell him?" Seeing her little face turned pale with fear and a trace of fear in her eyes when she looked at him, Pei Ji felt a rare sense of joy in his heart for some reason.
The depression that had been accumulating in my heart for the past few days seemed to be swept away overnight.
That’s it, those beautiful peach blossom eyes, just keep looking at him, why should you look at others?
"Miss An, go tell him?" The young man in white had curved eyebrows and eyes. Although he looked harmless, the words that uttered from his thin lips contained deep and frightening malice.
"You, you are crazy!" The girl in the red dress bit her lip, hesitated for a long time, stomped her feet angrily, turned around and ran away quickly.
Judging from the direction he left, it was obvious that he was not going to find Feichen.
Seeing this, the smile on the young man in white deepened. He narrowed his eyelashes in pleasure and asked Ah Qi behind him, "What is a mental illness?"
Ah Qi shook his head: "If the master doesn't know about the disease, how can I know about it?"
He slowly pushed Pei Ji back, and couldn't help asking, "Sir... is what Master Zhenyi said just now true?"
Pei Ji said calmly: "Of course it is true."
Ah Qi has always known that his master was poisoned, but he had no idea what the poison was, and his master would never tell him.
However, the young master had been fine for so long, so he didn't take it to heart. Now that he suddenly learned that the poison could take the young master's life, he could no longer remain calm.
"Sir, is there really no antidote for this poison?" Ah Qi asked worriedly.
Pei Ji chuckled softly and said, "Didn't you hear that? There is still the twin poison that can detoxify."
Ah Qi nodded. Seeing that he looked calm and composed, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Could it be that the young master has found the twin Gu?"
Pei Ji said: "It has not been found yet, but it will be soon."
According to his estimation, Wu Sheng had been gone for nearly a month, and if nothing unexpected happened, his letter would arrive soon.
I don’t know if it was a prophecy, but that night, Pei Ji received a letter from Wu Sheng.
The letter was still delivered by an owl. When Pei Ji saw the owl perched on the window frame, his heart suddenly jumped.
He subconsciously thought that the letter brought by the owl was from An Jiu. However, when he opened it, he found that it was actually from Wu Sheng.
Wu Sheng wrote in the letter that he had arrived in Southern Xinjiang half a month ago, and had been looking for the Gu Master who made the Twin Gu. However, nearly twenty years had passed, and that person had long since died, and now almost no one knew how to make the Twin Gu.
In order to survive, Wu Sheng assured in the letter that he had recently found the heir of the Gu Master from that year, and if he was given another two months, he would definitely be able to get the Twin Gu.
Two months, he can wait.
Pei Ji took out two antidote pills from the medicine box and put them into the mailbox.
This was his reply.
Two months. I hope Wu Sheng won’t let him down.
While doing all this, Ah Qi was standing by and couldn't help asking, "Sir, since the whereabouts of the Twin Gu have been found, I will go find a suitable woman for you!"
Pei Ji paused for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "No need."
Ah Qi was stunned for a moment, then became anxious: "Why? You are already eighteen, and there are very few women who are still unmarried at the age of eighteen. I see that most of the women out there become mothers at the age of sixteen or seventeen. What will you do if you can't find someone to detoxify?"
Pei Ji was silent for a while before he spoke slowly: "I have found it."
Ah Qi looked surprised: "Found it?"
Seeing the pure happiness on Ah Qi's face, Pei Ji hesitated whether to tell him about this.
In fact, after experiencing his previous life, Pei Ji knew better than anyone else how loyal Ah Qi was to him.
At the end of his previous life, everyone said that he was a demon, but Ah Qi was the only one who stayed by his side and protected him. When he lost consciousness due to the poison, he stayed by his side and defended him against his enemies.
If there is anyone in this world who truly treats him, it is only Ah Qi.
Thinking of this, Pei Ji no longer hesitated and said concisely: "It's Anjiu."
Ah Qi was completely stunned.
After a while, he suddenly realized, "It turned out to be her... No wonder the young master treated her differently when he saw her. I thought..."
"Why?" Pei Ji looked over with his dark eyes indifferently.
Ah Qi was stunned for a moment, raised his hand to scratch his head, smiled innocently and said, "Nothing, Master, just do whatever you want. Ah Qi will take care of anything for you, and if I can't, Ah Qi will die with you."
It’s just a pity for Miss An... Ah Qi has a good impression of her.
But in order to keep the young master alive, I have no choice but to let her down.
Ah Qi lowered his head, a look of determination flashing across his eyes.
When Pei Ji heard these words, he couldn't help but recall that day.
There was also a young girl who said the same thing to him.
If she knew that she would die in his hands in the future, would she still save him from the mud, and would she still say these words to him?
Even if he didn't ask, Pei Ji knew that it wouldn't happen.
In this world, apart from Ah Qi, no one else would be willing to sacrifice their lives for him. He was a child that even his parents did not love, so how could he expect someone to love him wholeheartedly and be willing to sacrifice their lives for him?
All kinds of thoughts flashed through my mind, and quickly disappeared without leaving any trace.
Pei Ji said to Ah Qi: "Ah Qi, notify Qiansha Pavilion that there is a new mission."
"What mission?"
"Attack Wuyin Temple and steal the Bodhi seeds." His expression was calm and his tone was calm.
At this moment, there was a sudden flapping sound of wings outside the window, and another owl landed on the window frame.
Its body was covered with fluffy feathers, like a round ball. It tilted its head, blinked its round amber eyes, and cooed twice at Pei Ji.
The cold expression on the young man in white suddenly froze, like a balloon pricked by a needle, and the depressing atmosphere in the room suddenly dissipated.
