Chapter 91



◎Anjiu is probably another cat.◎

The girl burst into laughter in front of my eyes, and the crystal tears stuck to her long, thick, curled eyelashes, sparkling in the sunlight.

When she smiled, she looked like a peony with dew on its face, her smile blooming. Especially because she had cried, the corners of her eyes and the tip of her nose were slightly red, as if she had applied a layer of pink rouge, the compelling and gorgeous color was breathtaking.

The young man in white lowered his eyes and looked at her quietly, his expression calm and composed.

No one could hear the swelling and restlessness in his chest at this moment.

He should, indeed, like her, even though he denied it countless times, didn't believe it, suspected himself to be blind countless times, and wondered why he liked her and what he liked about her.

How else to explain the quickening of my heartbeat and the strange emotions that spread in my chest as soon as I saw her?

That emotion drove him and made Pei Ji feel impulsive.

I want to hold her in my arms, feel the softness of her body, breathe in her scent, kiss away the tears from her eyes, and taste the flavor of her lips and tongue...

If he was still wearing the mask of Xian Wuming, he would have done so already, instead of wearing the mask of a gentleman, standing here and imagining things, recalling the two previous experiences for comfort.

Pei Ji closed his eyes, turned his head suddenly, and looked into the distance.

The mountains in the northern frontier rise and fall, and the towering steep rocks are covered with a thin layer of snow. Even in the scorching heat of June, the snow on the mountain tops has never melted, as if the mountains were wearing a fluffy hat.

Under the eaves, the young man in white was as slender as a bamboo, with his back straight and his eyes looking forward. The light from the sky above his head fell down, casting a layer of golden light on his profile.

At this moment, he looked like the flawless jade statue of an immortal in the Tianshan Temple.

An Jiu tilted his head to look at him, and suddenly smiled: "Pei Ji, you are so tall when you stand up, much taller than me."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand as if to compete with him.

An Jiu was not short, about 1.68 meters tall like modern people, but when he stood next to Pei Ji, one could only see his chin.

Judging from his appearance, he is at least 185cm tall.

Normally when he was sitting in a wheelchair, he didn't seem that tall, but when he suddenly stood up, he looked very thin.

An Jiu's hand had just reached out, but before it touched the man's chin, he suddenly moved to the side.

"Miss An, men and women should not touch each other." Pei Ji said calmly without looking away.

An Jiu was stunned for a moment, and his hands froze in place.

She was a little confused. Shouldn't a favorability rating of 85 be better to her? Why did this person start avoiding her?

As she was confused, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the slightly raised Adam's apple like a small stone rolling up and down in the middle of the man's graceful neck below her line of sight.

An Jiu: "..."

So does he like it or not?

"Hey, you are here! I was looking for you!" A head suddenly popped out from the hall. It was Lin Qingyan.

Lin Qingyan came over and said, "I heard that An Jiu has a photographic memory. We found the Demon Cult's library and discovered a lot of secret manuals. The books are inconvenient to carry and easy to lose, so I would like to trouble you to write them down. After all, storing them in your mind is the best way to preserve them."

An Jiu glanced at Pei Ji, but he still didn't look at her, and seemed indifferent to where she was going.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Lin Qingyan thought she didn't want to go, so she said: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to..."

"I'll go."

"It would be great if you could agree to this."

Lin Qingyan was pleasantly surprised. If there was no better way, she would not want to trouble An Jiu. In fact, many of those books were rare copies missing from the Central Plains and were too precious.

An Jiu followed Lin Qingyan away.

Pei Ji didn't leave before she left, but she could feel that a pair of eyes were always glued to her back, and would not go away for a long time.

Seeing the girl leave without looking back, Pei Ji slowly withdrew his gaze and finally felt the beating in his heart gradually subside.

He frowned silently, with a hint of patience in his brows.

Ah Qi appeared in front of him silently and asked in a low voice: "Master, should we let all our people go back?"

"Well, everyone, withdraw." Pei Ji said lightly.

"But your plan is just one step away." Ah Qi said in a confused tone.

Before coming, the young master made a plan of stalking the cicada while the oriole was waiting behind.

They decided to wait until the Central Plains martial arts masters and the Demon Cult were both defeated, and then the Thousand Killing Pavilion would step in to control the final winner and make him the supreme master of the martial arts world.

This was the original plan, but the young master was exposed in advance, and the plan became tortuous and had to be temporarily interrupted.

Now that the suspicion on the young master has been cleared and he will no longer be suspected, the plan can logically continue to be implemented.

Facing Ah Qi's doubts, Pei Ji only said: "I already have a better way to control those people. There is no need to expose the Thousand Killing Pavilion."

This method was thought up by Pei Ji on the spur of the moment. It was more perfect and more covert than the original plan.

It has to be said that although there were many problems during this trip of the Demon Cult, the final result was unexpectedly good.

Hua Mei poisoned a group of martial arts masters with the Five-Colored Sky Star Poison. Pei Ji was able to cure this poison, but he concealed it.

The reason why he didn't detoxify directly was, of course, to use the poison to indirectly control those martial arts masters.

He was a doctor, and it would be easy for him to tamper with their diagnosis and treatment and give them another kind of poison to control people.

If you don’t eat the meat that is delivered to you, you would be wasting your time.

Pei Ji couldn't think of any reason for him to refuse.

In this way, he indirectly controlled the entire martial arts world, and no one would be able to compete with him. They would even be grateful to him and regard him as their savior.

He would not let these people find out anything. He would only plant the trigger of poison in their bodies. If they did not provoke him, he would not do anything.

Pei Ji really enjoyed the feeling of secretly controlling everything.

The young man in white raised the corners of his lips slightly, and a hint of joy flashed in his slightly narrowed black eyes.

After a pause, he seemed to remember something and said, "Remember to leave one person behind. It's time to take her back."

Ah Qi bowed and nodded: "Yes."

According to Wu Sheng's letter, he will be back with the twin Gu in half a month at most, and he will be able to recover soon.

Thinking of this, Pei Ji's eyes became slightly complicated.

He liked her, but he wanted to live more.

An Jiu and his companions stayed on Mingguang Mountain for two days. On the first day, everyone worked together to find the secret book of magical skills. After finding the secret book, a group of people led by Huashan Sect left first with the secret book.

After that, more people left one after another. By the time An Jiu and his companions went down the mountain, there were few people left.

An Jiu and his friends left relatively late, mainly because they spent a lot of time in the library.

If An Jiu wanted to memorize the books, she had to read them all. Although the number of books she had to bring was not that many, but adding up dozens of them, it was not a small number.

There were dozens of people when they came, but when they left, there were only five.

Coming down from Mingguang Mountain, we once again passed the valley full of poisonous flowers. There was no one in the valley, only a field of colorful flowers blooming all over the mountain.

The flowers are extremely beautiful, but people passing by here dare not touch them at all.

An Jiu stood at the edge of the valley and sighed, "Let's destroy this patch of flowers. If we keep them here, maybe they will be used again in the future?"

In fact, it’s not that no one has brought up this issue, but those martial artists have been poisoned before, and once bitten by a snake, they are afraid of ropes for ten years. So even if they pass by, they just avoid it from a distance and dare not approach, let alone destroy the flowers.

"Yes, this flower will be a nuisance if left here. It will be even worse if someone eats it by mistake. We can't keep it here." Lin Qingyan also said.

He Ziqing scratched his head: "How about we set a fire?"

"Can fire burn this flower? It has to be dry before it can be burned, right?" An Jiu shook his head and said seriously, "It still has to be pulled out."

"But this flower is poisonous..." Lin Qingyan hesitated.

"Don't we have someone here who is not afraid of being poisoned?"

As soon as An Jiu said this, everyone's attention shifted to Pei Ji.

Everyone knows that Pei Ji is immune to all poisons, so it is most appropriate for him to take on the responsibility of removing the flowers.

An Jiu also looked over, blinking her big dark eyes as she looked eagerly at the young man in his spotless snow-white clothes.

"Pei Ji, can you please pull them out?"

She spoke in a pleading tone, afraid that he would not agree, so she walked up to him in small steps, holding his snow-white sleeve and shaking her fingers.

Pei Ji's gaze fell, and the girl's white and tender fingers grabbed the hem of his sleeve, tearing a crease and making the smooth and neat sleeve messy.

He frowned, exerted a little force to pull back his sleeve, and looked at the girl who looked pretentious.

When has An Jiu ever been so kind?

In her previous life, she had tried to murder Lin Qingyan many times. She was stupid and vicious, but she had never been so kind-hearted.

Pei Ji didn't believe that she was really kind. She acted like this just to torment him.

Since the day before yesterday, this woman has been in a bad mood again. She was clearly concerned about his poison one moment, but she changed her attitude the next moment, and looked at him coldly for no reason, as if she didn't like something about him.

The eldest lady's mood is unstable and she always loses her temper for no reason. Pei Ji has long been accustomed to this and therefore doesn't care.

In other words, he welcomes it.

She acted coquettishly and foolishly towards him, but he was at a loss as to what to do and couldn't help wanting to obey her.

Now that he has returned to his old ways, he has become quite accustomed to it.

Pei Ji was even more convinced. How could An Jiu possibly like him? The vague feeling he had a few days ago was definitely an illusion.

It was impossible for her to like him. Or rather, a woman as dissolute and passionate as her could not really like a man. In her eyes, men were just entertainment.

Emotions are something that are difficult to control with reason.

This is what Pei Ji keenly noticed after he found out that he liked An Jiu. It was like a dragon's reverse scale or a snake's weak spot. For him, this was a huge weakness.

She greeted him with a smile, or touched him casually, looked at him indifferently, or talked a little more with someone. It could easily stir up his calm heart and cause a big uproar.

It was a feeling that was completely out of his control.

Pei Ji couldn't tolerate it.

He recalled a kitten he had raised when he was a child a long time ago. The cat was very beautiful, with a pair of green eyes, and liked to sleep on his lap and crawl into his bed to sleep with him at night.

Pei Ji liked it very much.

Until one day, the kitten ran out of the house to play. Pei Ji was so worried that he put down his studies and sat at the door waiting for it all day.

That night, the kitten who returned home still meowed affectionately to him, just as before.

Little Pei Ji, with red eyes, strangled the kitten's neck and ended the kitten's life with his own hands.

Looking back now, he still likes the cat, remembers its name clearly, and remembers the joy it once brought him.

Pei Ji thought that An Jiu was probably another cat.
