Chapter 8 The Man Behind the Scenes

"Your pulse..." Jiang Hanfeng looked serious. Although his medical skills were not very good, he had some basic knowledge. He had never seen such a pulse before. He quickly remembered, "Was it Fu Sheng who did it?"

Shen Yingxue asked blankly: "Who is Fu Sheng?"

"He is a hypocritical gentleman." Jiang Hanfeng gave such an evaluation. "He appears to be kind and righteous on the surface, but what he does is very sinister. They originally wanted to instigate me to take the lead. It would have been best if I could kill you, but who knew that you easily defeated me six years ago. The righteous can only take a long-term view. It was also Fu Sheng's idea to send people to the Demon Sect to befriend you and poison you."

"I don't know him."

"I know. Fu Sheng always looks righteous, but he is actually hypocritical. In the past, you probably wouldn't have taken such a villain seriously." Jiang Hanfeng's eyes became distant. "You are always so arrogant and naive, that's why you fell into their hands."

Shen Yingxue didn't quite understand what he was saying. Judging from the tone, it should be something nice, but these few words made it feel like he was scolding him.

Are these words also blurred by the system?

Mosaic is beyond human power. After so much training, Shen Yingxue has summed up a set of rules. If you don't understand something, don't try to find out the root cause. It will only cause you trouble. You will understand it naturally when you need to.

"Your wrist has recovered very well and the bones are straightened, but there are still some root causes that need to be treated properly." Jiang Hanfeng put down his injured right hand and replaced it with the other one.

After being defeated by Shen Yingxue six years ago, Jiang Hanfeng has been in seclusion to gain enlightenment. When the righteous sect besieged the evil sect, he did not go with them.

At that time, he thought he was no match for Shen Yingxue. Jiang Xi'an also mentioned the plan made by Fu Sheng and others, but Jiang Hanfeng disdained to do so. However, he was a member of Yuding Villa and could not plead for Shen Yingxue. He could only promise that he would not add insult to injury at this time and allow the righteous to use insidious tricks against Shen Yingxue.

The disciples of the villa returned victoriously. Jiang Hanfeng made some inquiries and found out how dire Shen Yingxue's situation was.

Fu Sheng found a poison and sent it to the Demon Sect through Gu Liansheng of the Bafang Sect. He also bribed Shen Yingxue's most trusted attendant and put the poison in his food.

When the righteous attacked, Shen Yingxue came out to meet the enemy. The poison in her body took effect, and her internal energy was mixed. She vomited blood before the battle. The blood-stained swordsman Sang Zichen took the opportunity to move and stabbed Shen Yingxue's dantian twice. Fu Sheng stepped forward and humiliated him verbally, and crushed the bones of Shen Yingxue's right wrist holding the sword with his foot.

Jiang Hanfeng didn't know how Shen Yingxue escaped. If it were him, there would be no chance of him surviving in that situation.

But Shen Yingxue did it.

Jiang Hanfeng finished taking Shen Yingxue's pulse and his expression became more solemn.

Shen Yingxue's body was covered with wounds, and the poison he had been infected with was still deposited in his body. He must have drunk some medicine to suppress his uncontrollable internal force, otherwise it would be impossible for him to sit here quietly in a daze, and he should have died where he could not see him.

Moreover, his madness... seemed to be caused by the frustration of the seven emotions, stagnation of Qi and blood, depression of Qi, and disorder of Qi movement, which eventually led to mental disorder and insanity.

Simply put, he was hurt too badly and his emotions fluctuated so much that he suddenly went crazy.

Jiang Hanfeng immediately identified the culprit who caused Shen Yingxue to fall into such a situation—Fu Sheng!

"I am not an expert in medicine, but I will show your pulse to my senior brother. He will write a prescription tomorrow at the latest to relieve your pain."

Jiang Hanfeng was in an extremely low mood when he left. His previous energy-cultivation skills had also failed, and there was obvious anger on his face.

Han Jing was secretly hiding on the pillar of the corridor and looking over here. As a martial artist, he was very sensitive and was almost discovered by Jiang Hanfeng. Fortunately, Han Jing was alert and hid quickly, leaning against the red pillar, thinking about Jiang Hanfeng's expression over and over again.

He had stayed in Yuding Villa for several years and knew very well how powerful Jiang Hanfeng was. However, judging from what happened just now, he must have suffered at the hands of his adoptive father.

He really deserves to be called my godfather. Even if he acts crazy, he can still make everyone go crazy.

"Master Junior, what are you looking at?"

Han Jing was not nervous at all about being caught. He naturally leaned to the side and sat on the stone bench. He looked at the person who came and said in a nonchalant tone: "I just came out to get some fresh air. What's the matter? Zhiyi is so protective of Shen Yingxue, and he is afraid that I will go to find him?"

Jiang Zhiyi said, "Master Junior, you are too worried."

This is the only way to Jiang Hanfeng's residence. Han Jing's heart moved and he figured out what Jiang Zhiyi was doing here.

Although Jiang Hanfeng did not explicitly say that he was not allowed to get close to Shen Yingxue, everyone in the entire villa, from top to bottom, knew that he and Shen Yingxue had a blood feud and were on guard against him meeting Shen Yingxue.

Now is a good opportunity.

Han Jing stood up, with a rascally smile, and moved closer to Jiang Zhiyi, put his arm around him, and patted his shoulder, "My good nephew, you are right, I want to see Shen Yingxue. Why don't you take me with you?"

"you……"

"With so many eyes watching, how can I embarrass him?" Han Jing touched his chin, "You guys are making me feel that Shen Yingxue is a helpless little poor thing, and I am the leader of the evil cult."

"Uncle Master, please respect yourself." Jiang Zhiyi pulled his hand off. "Since you don't plan to do anything, why do you have to see Shen Yingxue?"

Han Jing smiled and said, "I think he is a very interesting person, totally different from what I imagined."

Jiang Zhiyi remained silent and accepted his words.

Everyone knows that after Han Jing adapted to the life in Yuding Villa, he let himself go and did not hide his feelings at all. He wanted to get what he liked, and felt disgusted even when meeting someone he disliked.

It would be great if Han Jing could see the current Shen Yingxue and his previous self as two completely different people.

Han Jing felt a little nervous when he followed Jiang Zhiyi here.

He saw Jiang Hanfeng had left, and there should be no one at Shen Yingxue's place. He was afraid that when he came over later, he would face the familiar evil and arrogant adoptive father. If that were the case, should he continue to hide and act like he was facing an enemy, or should he take Jiang Zhiyi hostage while he was not paying attention and take him away with him?

After meeting Shen Yingxue, Han Jing realized that he was overthinking.

Maybe because she got into trouble once, Shen Yingxue's character is not as arrogant as before. She has become cautious and careful. Even when she is alone, she will continue to act!

Although there was nothing in front of him, Shen Yingxue just sat there, staring intently into the void, as if there was really a real object in front of him.

When Han Jing and Jiang Zhiyi saw him from a distance, Shen Yingxue was smiling foolishly. When they got closer, Shen Yingxue suddenly stopped smiling and looked very sad.

Such rapid changes in emotions are hard for normal people to understand. The confusion and distortion that came over her were obvious to everyone: Shen Yingxue was not normal.

This unfathomable man, who had a perfect grasp of emotions and human hearts, was Han Jing's adoptive father. Han Jing did not dare to be his enemy. If he was still hesitant when they first met, now he really did not dare to have any intention of betraying him.

Han Jing looked at Jiang Zhiyi next to him. Jiang Zhiyi didn't know the truth of the matter, didn't think deeply, didn't know how terrible the person he was facing was, and even had a little kindness towards Shen Yingxue. At this time, he just frowned slightly, puzzled by Shen Yingxue's condition, and was not afraid.

Ignorance is bliss.

Shen Yingxue understood the current situation and returned to her carefree and easygoing self. After Jiang Hanfeng left, no one chatted with him. He was a little bored, so he let the system continue to play the robot cat animation.

The little cat without ears is so cute, and its hands are round. When it is with its friends, it always has some strange ideas. Shen Yingxue seemed to have returned to her childhood. While watching, she chatted with the system: [It would be better if you were not a mosaic system, but a robot cat. At least you could come up with some cheat codes instead of a mosaic that drags down the system.]

The system said: [If that were the case, you would have been kicked out of this world and your soul would have been shattered.]

Shen Yingxue couldn't laugh anymore: [Alas, I'm tired. Mosaic is my fate.]

The system said: [Just so you know.]

Shen Yingxue changed her posture and followed the drama sadly.

Then he heard someone calling him, "Shen Yingxue."

"Hmm?" Shen Yingxue's eyes were still on the animation. She didn't move her body. She just responded simply.

Anyway, he was going to play a madman, so it didn't matter if he did something impolite. When she lived with Xun Yan, Shen Yingxue often watched TV series while eating, which was the norm.

"What are you looking at?" Jiang Zhiyi asked.

Han Jing suddenly felt that this sentence was a little familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that Jiang Zhiyi had just asked him the same question.

This master nephew is quite curious... Normally, his curiosity is nothing, but if he accidentally discovers some secrets, he might even lose his life.

Han Jing felt that he should remind him, but in front of Shen Yingxue like this, Han Jing didn't even dare to say hello, let alone suppress Jiang Zhiyi's curiosity.

Shen Yingxue turned his head and glanced at them. His eyes were as dark as the abyss. He pointed at the void in front of him and said in a brisk tone: "I'm looking at this, but only I can see it. You can't see it."

Jiang Zhiyi didn't know how to respond after hearing Shen Yingxue's answer.

Since he was sure that Shen Yingxue was crazy, he felt that this person was very pitiful. Jiang Zhiyi should not be qualified to sympathize with the leader of the Demon Cult, but when he thought about how powerful he had been, and now he had nothing and was being manipulated by others, he could not help but sigh.

Power and wealth are all just an empty dream. When you wake up, everything is gone.

Han Jing silently took a half step back.

Shen Yingxue was right. Except for him, everyone else was a blinded fool who could not see the truth of the matter.

They all thought that Shen Yingxue was a deranged lunatic, but they didn't know that he was the one who planned it and watched from the sidelines with a condescending attitude.

Everyone is a chess piece in Shen Yingxue's hands.
