At the moment the blood spurted out, Shen Nanxun could not believe it.
"Bang!"
Zhu Zhuliang was kicked flying, her waist slamming into the corner of the table, causing her to bite her lip until it bled.
Before Zhu Zhuliang could react, a dark shadow suddenly flashed past her eyes—
"stop!"
Shen Nanxun shouted!
At that moment, the black-clad man's sharp sword tore through Zhu Zhuliang's clothes, piercing her skin slightly...
Fresh blood slowly bloomed.
If Shen Nanxun had called out even a fraction slower, Zhu Zhuliang would probably already be dead.
Having survived the ordeal, Zhu Zhuliang looked at Shen Nanxun with a cool expression and sneered, "Is this what you meant by 'I can kill anyone I want'?"
She never expected that there would be such a master by Shen Nanxun's side!
Shen Nanxun, you have so many secrets.
“She can’t be killed, I still have a use for her,” Shen Nanxun said to the man in black.
The man in black had an extremely hoarse voice, as if his throat had been burned by a fire.
"She wants to kill you."
“I know, but she’s still useful.”
The man in black remained unmoved: "My purpose is to protect you. If you die, my mission will have failed."
Shen Nanxun's voice was somewhat heavy: "I said, she's still useful. If she dies, there are some things that can't be done!"
The man in black still didn't move.
A flash of annoyance crossed Shen Nanxun's eyes as he said in a deep voice, "She's from the Meng family. If she dies here, wouldn't that immediately make us enemies of the Meng family?"
"The Meng family is nothing to our lord."
"Don't forget, His Majesty sent secret guards to watch over the Chi family. Do you think those guards wouldn't know that Zhu Zhuliang came in?"
If she dies here, it will immediately attract His Majesty's attention!
The man in black said, "You're right."
Shen Nanxun breathed a sigh of relief.
The man in black said, "But you said it to her face. If she leaves alive, wouldn't she immediately tell His Majesty?"
Shen Nanxun: ...
Oh no!
Is he delirious from illness?
How could someone be so stupid?
"I have a medicine here that will make her forget everything that happened today."
"I've never heard of such a drug before."
"What, is your duty to protect me, or to teach me what to do?"
Shen Nanxun's eyes sharpened, his imposing presence radiating authority even without anger: "Your master and I are merely cooperators, not subordinates!"
"...As long as she doesn't tell anyone, it's up to you."
The man in black vanished in a flash.
Shen Nanxun leaned back weakly and started coughing again.
Only then did he realize that his back was completely soaked.
"Shen Nanxun, what exactly do you want to do? Have you gone mad?"
Zhu Zhuliang is not a fool.
From their conversation, it's clear that there's a lot going on between them!
Shen Nanxun said, "Do you think I would tell you?"
“Shen Nanxun, there is nothing in this world that can make someone lose their memory in just one day.”
Zhu Zhuliang said with absolute certainty.
There are drugs that can make someone lose all their memories.
How could it be that there was only a short period of time, even just half a day's worth of memory?
That's nonsense!
"I know, there really isn't."
Shen Nanxun nodded.
Of course, there aren't any.
If he had one, then he couldn't possibly have one.
Because this thing is too powerful, the emperor would absolutely not allow such a thing to exist in the world.
The same applies to Gu poison.
His Majesty is determined to eradicate the Gu poison completely!
However, the practice of Gu poison has been passed down for thousands of years.
There are many mysterious families hiding in places unknown to others, researching Gu poison for generations.
Therefore, the idea of completely eradicating the Gu poison is simply wishful thinking.
However, Emperor Huiwu still ordered that no one be allowed to practice Gu poison.
This is why no sect in the martial arts world openly has anyone skilled in Gu poison.
Of course, there will still be some behind the scenes.
"Then what do you want to do? Kill me?"
Zhu Zhuliang asked calmly.
It was as if she had absolutely no connection to him; he was frighteningly calm.
"No, how could I bear to kill you?"
Shen Nanxun said with deep affection.
Zhu Zhuliang, however, dismissed this with disdain.
Before today, she might have believed that the other person was somewhat attracted to her.
But now?
She's not stupid.
"Sink Nanxun!"
"Young Master, something terrible has happened! Huo Chenyi has arrived, and he has brought quite a few people with him."
Hongling's panicked voice rang out from outside the study.
Shen Nanxun, however, was not in a hurry at all. Instead, he looked at Zhu Zhuliang and held up a finger in front of his lips.
"Ah Liang, remember not to say anything carelessly, and don't make things difficult for me."
The man is weak yet deeply affectionate; his eyes are filled with nothing but you.
His eyes seemed to have swirling vortexes, dark and mysterious, yet captivating.
Zhu Zhuliang seemed to suffocate instantly.
Even though the other person was speaking with deep affection, she felt fear in that instant.
At that moment, Zhu Zhuliang realized that she had never truly understood the man in front of her.
She slowly closed her eyes, her heart filled with a chilling emptiness.
"Hongling, come and push me out," Shen Nanxun called out.
Hong Ling immediately pushed the door open and came in. When she saw the wound on Shen Nanxun's neck, her murderous aura instantly condensed into a blade, which she used to attack Zhu Zhuliang!
"Red water chestnut".
"Young master, how dare she hurt you? If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have..."
