Chapter 84: Old Stories
Bai Xun and the other two were confused for a moment.
Although Ni Tianji is not young anymore and has a thin figure, he has a distinguished figure and a graceful demeanor. He is about forty years old, and it is very incongruous for him to stand next to Grandma Qiu, who has a face full of wrinkles.
"Seventy or eighty?" Ni Tianji laughed self-deprecatingly, "I was fooled by your trick in the beginning."
As Ni Tianji was speaking, his feet suddenly left the ground. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Grandma Qiu as if by teleportation and reached out to touch Grandma Qiu's forehead.
The Shinpu Pavilion's lightness skills are the best in the world, and their speed is unmatched.
Bai Xun was not fast enough to rush over to protect Grandma Qiu.
Grandma Qiu's forehead was wet with sweat, and when Ni Tianji opened it, his entire face skin was torn off!
Bai Xun:...! !
"Grandma Qiu!" Su Zhizhi's voice rang out.
Su Zhizhi, who had been running around looking for someone, came and brought Xue Che with her.
Su Zhizhi walked to the door and saw Grandma Qiu's trembling back. She also happened to see Grandma Qiu having her face torn off by someone.
"Who are you? Don't touch Grandma Qiu!"
Su Zhizhi uttered the secret signal of "Chirp Chirp Chirp", calling on the villagers to gather here to fight against the foreign enemies.
"Don't be afraid, Grandma Qiu. Zhizhi is here to save you. Soon we will—"
Su Zhizhi's voice got stuck in her throat halfway through her words.
She walked around to Grandma Qiu and saw not the familiar old face, but a strange beautiful woman.
Eyebrows like distant mountains, lips like cinnabar.
"Qiu..." Su Zhizhi couldn't utter the remaining two words.
People in their village don't speak honestly. It is normal for them to exaggerate their age when talking about themselves.
Grandma Qiu always said that she was in her seventies or eighties and half of her body was covered with yellow earth.
Everyone felt that even if she lied about her age, it wouldn't be much different.
Her face has remained old over the years, and she even gets one or two more wrinkles every year as time goes by.
She looked older than an old woman. No one doubted her age. They only knew that she was good at disguise and that her fried pork skin was crispy and delicious.
Xue Che, who was running over from behind, was also stunned.
A large number of villagers who received Su Zhizhi's secret signal rushed over with murderous intent and were stunned when they saw this scene.
Even Po was hovering over Grandma Qiu's head and shouting.
Everyone thought it was some gangster causing trouble, but they never expected to see Ni Tianji, with a heartbroken face, saying:
"Aqiu, it's you, why are you hiding from me?"
"Qiu Jinyu, even now, you still refuse to admit it?"
Qiu Jinyu covered her face, feeling that she had never been so embarrassed and ashamed in her life.
Her true face hasn't appeared in public for many years, who would have thought that it would be exposed to everyone today.
For her, who always wears a mask, this is almost like running naked!
"Ni Tianji!" Qiu Jinyu risked her life.
"Yes, it's your grandmother, Qiu Jinyu! What's wrong? I lied to you back then, but I didn't give you the things you said you would give me!"
"Did you really have to offer a reward to the whole world to capture me?!"
Ni Tianji's eyes were as deep as the sea, fixed on the person in front of him:
"Aqiu, I gave it to you a long time ago, but you didn't return it to me."
Qiu Jinyu jumped up, her eyes wide open, and pointed at Ni Tianji:
"Don't slander me! I returned all the gold, silver, jewellery and jade to you, but you didn't give me anything else!"
"That's right, I'm giving it all back to you! You didn't give it to me!"
Although Su Zhizhi was surprised by Grandma Qiu's sudden change of expression, she stood firmly on Grandma Qiu's side and clenched her little fist to support Grandma Qiu.
Ni Tianji is like a woman abandoned by a heartless man:
"Aqiu, you returned my gold, silver, and jewelry, but you forgot to return my heart."
Everyone: Huh? What…?
Qiu Jinyu opened her mouth, but was speechless at this moment.
What the hell is going on!
The yard was filled with people in three layers. Everyone put down their weapons and took out a handful of melon seeds from their pockets to crack.
The clothes made by Lu Chunniang's workshop are good, with several sturdy pockets, which are perfect for storing melon seeds, dried fruits, etc.
Someone spit out the melon seed shells and said to the person next to him:
"I thought I was here to stretch my legs, but I ended up watching Sunset Romance."
Su Zhizhi turned her head and asked Xue Che in a low voice: "How do you steal my heart?"
Xue Che blushed and covered Su Zhizhi's ears with his hands, saying repeatedly:
"See nothing that is indecent, hear nothing that is indecent, speak nothing that is indecent..."
At this moment, Qiu Jinyu really wished that time could go back. She shouldn't have felt sorry for Ni Tianji and given him that spoonful of fried pork skin today!
Although the first generation of villagers in the village knew that she was good at disguise, no one knew that she was a habitual thief when she was young.
Who hasn't done some bad things when they were young?
When she was in her prime and less than twenty years old, she loved to steal people's treasures.
I steal it to look at and play with it, and then put it back when I get tired of it.
Because she was afraid of being exposed, every time she set her sights on a target, she would change her face and sneak into the person's home, waiting for an opportunity to steal.
She had heard that the Shinfeng Pavilion had an extremely large collection of secret books, and that the sect was rich and prosperous, with gold and silver everywhere.
Her goal is the most confidential secret manual of light skills in the Kamikaze Pavilion.
If she learns Qinggong, she will definitely become the best thief in the world.
Rumor has it that the secret manual of light Kung Fu has always been kept close to Ni Tianji, and it is extremely difficult for outsiders to obtain it.
Qiu Jinyu put on a fake face, used the pseudonym "Aqiu", and sneaked into the Kamikaze Pavilion.
She disguised herself as Ni Tianji's maid and tried her best to get close to Ni Tianji.
Once, she sneaked into Ni Tianji's room in the middle of the night and happened to run into a group of assassins who came to assassinate Ni Tianji. Qiu Jinyu accidentally saved Ni Tianji.
Ni Tianji was poisoned and injured at the time, his white clothes were stained with blood, and his jade-like face was as pale as moonlight - twenty years ago, Ni Tianji was a rare handsome man in the world.
But when Qiu Jinyu was young, he was not tempted by beauty, and his ambition was to become the best thief in the world.
She took the initiative to step forward to bandage Ni Tianji, wanting to see where the personal secret manual was hidden.
Ni Tianji, who was obsessed with mysophobia and disliked people getting close to him, struggled with his face flushed, but was unable to move due to his physical weakness:
"How dare you! You are not allowed to do that without the order of this Pavilion Master... Ugh..."
Qiu Jinyu took advantage of the situation and pressed his mute point, pretending to say:
"Master, please calm down for a moment and stop being so upset. I'm here to check your wound."
As a result, he touched Pavilion Master Ni's snow-white and smooth body almost all over, causing her to arch her slender neck, close her eyes, bite her lips and gasp.
Qiu Jinyu found nothing.
She tied the bandage into a knot in disappointment, leaving Ni Tianji with a resentful look, then yawned and went back to sleep.
Afterwards, Qiu Jinyu thought back and felt that she must have offended someone badly that night.
Because since then, Ni Tianji called her over every day to do this and that.
He didn't ask anyone else to do things like taking a bath or changing clothes, but just ordered her around; he even asked her to cook soup and meals for him.
He was very picky about his taste, and the leader of a Jianghu Pavilion lived a more luxurious life than a rich young man among the common people.
Qiu Jinyu honed her cooking skills at that time.
Ni Tianji ordered her around too many times, so she deliberately went against him.
He wanted to eat abalone, shark's fin, bird's nest and seafood, but she made fried pork skin and braised offal for him.
Ni Tianji always had a complicated expression when he looked at the dishes, but he always ate them.
Later, Ni Tianji probably felt guilty and realized that he had been overdoing it, so he took the initiative to give Qiu Jinyu a lot of gold, jade and other treasures.
When Qiu Jinyu was tired, he gave her his favorite white jade bed to rest, and sat on the couch waiting.
But Qiu Jinyu only wanted the Qinggong secret manual, and said with disdain:
"Hey, Pavilion Master, this is not what I want."
"Cough cough cough..." Ni Tianji kept coughing unnaturally after hearing this, and his neck and eyes turned red from coughing.
Then he said to her with a slight redness in the corners of his eyes:
"Aqiu, I know what you want. If you want... I will give it to you."
