Kill me if you can (21)

A hint of smile flashed across Yun Sheng's eyes: "You say."

"Well, to be honest, this Jiang Mo, she doesn't like that lover very much. Although she complained to me, she actually just wanted to get rid of her status and didn't want to stay in the court and work herself to death..." Shen Tang racked his brains to think of how to get back on his words, but Yun Sheng just sat down cross-legged on the spot, threw away the flute in his hand, picked up the wine from his waist and drank it in one gulp.

Yun Sheng drank in big gulps, but his gaze on Shen Tang was extremely complicated, as if there were some things he didn't understand, so he kept looking at Shen Tang.

"Why are you drinking out of the blue? I haven't finished what I'm saying yet!" Shen Tang reached out to pull the man up to explain, but the man suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms. Shen Tang was pulled straight into his arms, and her head hit the man's hard shoulder, which hurt. Yun Sheng hugged her tightly for a long time, and his deep voice with the smell of alcohol drifted into Shen Tang's nose.

"I don't want to listen," Yun Sheng said with a somewhat aggrieved tone, but she quickly let go of Shen Tang, and slowly wiped the dust off Shen Tang's face with her fingers. Her deep, dark eyes stared at her, with a hint of aggression that she had not noticed. "You said so much, aren't you just trying to tell me that Jiang Mo already has a way to die?"

Shen Tang nodded excitedly, and the male protagonist finally understood, "Yes, that's right, that's what I mean!"

"What about you? Why did you come to see me? Is it that you came here just to say these things?" Yun Sheng's cold expression just now completely disappeared, replaced by confusion and prejudice. He asked one question after another, which made Shen Tang feel that he was the leader. He blinked for a while, not knowing what to say.

However, the purpose of her coming back was really just for these things. She didn't know whether Yun Sheng's stubbornness would be alleviated after she returned.

Just as Shen Tang was thinking this, a mechanical sound came slowly from the air, but Yun Sheng seemed unable to hear the sound. Only Shen Tang could hear this sound that appeared out of nowhere.

[The available time of the retrospective mirror is entering the countdown]

Shen Tang was stunned. How could the mirror's retrospective time be so short? She hadn't been here for long! But it didn't matter. She had told Yun Sheng everything she needed to say. If he still insisted on his point, she would have no choice but to wait until she got back to normal time and then find a way to solve the problem.

"Don't worry, Jiang Mo won't blame you if she's still alive," Shen Tang said silently, not to mention that she wasn't dead in the first place.

Before being teleported, Shen Tang shouted to Yun Sheng, "I hope you can let go of the obsession in your heart and live your life well." Don't scare her with such a high degree of stubbornness!

Yun Sheng seemed to realize something, and reached out to grab the hand of the person in front of him, staring at her with bloodshot eyes, "Are you leaving again?"

"Jiang Mo?"

The little beggar paused, and looked at him in a daze, as if he had not expected that he would recognize him. After a few breaths, the look in the little beggar's eyes became clear, and he lowered his head to look at his hands. He was so scared that he immediately shook Yun Sheng's hand away, picked up his bowl and long stick, and ran away.

Yun Sheng stood there for a long time, and finally used his Qinggong to return to the burial place of the black coffin. However, he looked at the black coffin and couldn't help laughing. The people who were burying the coffin next to him were so scared that they thought he had a brain problem and their eyes became a little alert.

"Then it's as you wish," the man laughed softly, watching the black coffin being completely buried in the ground. He reached out and pulled off the mourning cap on his head, then walked towards the direction of Qianji Pavilion in the distance.

Although the time for the retrospective mirror to be called back had come, Shen Tang still remained silent for a while, watching Yun Sheng return to Qianji Pavilion to handle matters of all sizes, and occasionally visit Jiang's father and Jiang Jiutang at Jiang's house. In this world, Jiang Jiutang died early due to illness, and Yun Sheng helped Jiang's father to send him off. Jiang's father, who had no children, also passed away not long after, and it was still Yun Sheng who handled his funeral.

After seeing off the Jiang family, Yun Sheng maintained his original intention and turned Qianji Pavilion into a force in the martial arts world that could handle difficult issues and eliminate evil. When he got old, a qualified member took over Qianji Pavilion, and he eventually returned to a place that Shen Tang could not have imagined.

Yun Sheng built a small hut next to Jiang Mo's grave and guarded it all year round. Before his death, he leaned against the grave and calmly touched the plaque.

"I said, since it is your wish, I will definitely make it come true."

The moment the gray-haired man closed his eyes, the space in front of Shen Tang changed again. After a long time, she returned to the room.

"Little Lucky Bag, what is the male protagonist's degree of bias now?"

Little Lucky Bag replied calmly: "Host, Yun Sheng's obsession has decreased. It is now thirty. Please continue to work hard."

"Little Lucky Bag, you said, was it because I used the retrospective mirror to go back to the past that Yun Sheng ended up living alone for the rest of his life?" Shen Tang lay on the couch with a confused look in her eyes. What she didn't understand was how the other party could recognize her, and why his attitude towards her seemed to be mixed with some affection?

"Host, the retrospective mirror only allows you to return to a certain point in the past. Things that have already happened in the past will not change. Whether you go back or not, the hero will not marry and have children."

Shen Tang frowned, she had not expected that just for completing the mission, she would end up causing Yun Sheng to live out his old age in loneliness. If it weren't for her, with Yun Sheng's status, he would probably have started a family and would not have to guard her grave until the end of his life.

She sighed, looked out the door again, and reached out to touch her back gently. "Strange, how come this wound healed so quickly?"

She remembered that the wound on her back was still painful before she used the retrospective mirror, but why was there a faint scar when she touched it now?

"Host, you used the time in the flashback mirror to lie here for two days. The imperial physician came during that time, and it was the male protagonist who took the initiative to pick up the medicine on your back." Little Lucky Bag told her what happened, and Shen Tang finally understood the reason.

In this case, she should stand up and go out for a walk. She wondered if that person was still waiting for her outside. Shen Tang thought to herself, slowly got up from the couch, put on her coat and walked towards the door. As soon as she pushed the door open, the person at the door knocked heavily on the door frame as if he was startled, then touched his forehead and looked at Shen Tang.

But after not seeing each other for two days, Yun Sheng actually had dark circles under his eyes and a lot more stubble. If it weren't for his eyebrows and eyes, Shen Tang would really think that he had found the wrong person.

"You, are you feeling better?" Yun Sheng's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he looked at the person in front of him with a gentle tone. There seemed to be more shadows in his memory, but he couldn't catch where those shadows came from.

Shen Tang looked at the man's burning gaze and smiled awkwardly, thinking of how he had guarded the grave because of him. "Have you been guarding here all this time?"

Yun Sheng nodded slightly. He thought the other party would first ask him about what he could see with his eyes, but unexpectedly, he asked him how long he had been guarding here.

"Your eyes..." Shen Tang realized belatedly that the blue-gray ribbon that Yun Sheng had originally covered his face had been torn off. Waves of ink surged in those dark pupils, shocking Shen Tang so much that he turned his eyes away slightly.

Yun Sheng smiled softly: "It was His Royal Highness the Third Prince who gave me a good medicine. My eyes are much better now and I can see you again."

Shen Tang laughed a few times, not knowing how to respond to the other party's words. The male protagonist has now recovered his memory. According to the sense of justice in the last mission, it is impossible for him to attack himself now! If the Jiang family really did a lot of evil, it would be fine. But Yun Sheng, who was deceived once, might be deceived by the old master of Qianji Pavilion to assassinate the Jiang family like in the previous world.

Shen Tang stole a glance at the other person as he looked at her intently. In her opinion, although this person's stubbornness had eased a lot, he was probably still thinking about atonement.

"Ahem," Shen Tang coughed lightly and glanced at him sideways, "Didn't you ask me to forgive you two days ago?"

Yun Sheng's eyes widened instantly and he looked at her.

"If you work hard for me and be a good guard, I will forgive you for what happened before." Shen Tang patted the man's arm and whispered, "But I won't forgive you so easily for playing tricks on me before. Please forgive me!"

Seeing Yun Sheng nodding his head to whatever she said, Shen Tang felt relieved. Now that he didn't know what had happened and just wanted to vent his guilt, she decided to let him stay by her side to "atone his sins". Maybe his bias would slowly disappear.

Shen Tang suddenly remembered something and looked up and asked, "When did your eyes get better? Did you see everything?"

Yun Sheng stood there and immediately realized what Shen Tang was referring to. A blush suddenly appeared on his face and he didn't even dare to look at her.

"I, well, don't worry, I will never tell this to anyone. As long as you don't want to tell anyone else, I won't let anyone know about this!" Yun Sheng looked into her eyes seriously, like a large dog trying to please her pitifully. If Yun Sheng had a tail behind him, that tail would have started wagging a long time ago.

Shen Tang sighed helplessly. With the situation now in such a mess, she would have to think about her return. However, the male protagonist remembered the matter of Qianji Pavilion and would not oppose the Jiang family anymore. So he would have to find another way to seize the position of the head of Qianji Pavilion.

"Okay, let's not discuss these things for now. How is the Third Prince doing?" Shen Tang looked calmly at the situation outside the house. There were only a few scattered imperial doctors standing outside, but she did not see the prince. It was strange. Could it be that she had slept here for two days and then Murong Jin left with his men?

Yun Sheng's eyes darkened when the person in front of him mentioned Murong Jin, but he quickly explained to her as if nothing had happened, "His Royal Highness the Third Prince has already found out the person behind Liu Han. He completely cleared the source of the disease here during the two days you were unconscious, and told the people here the prescription. In order to expose the person behind the scenes, he has now had someone issue a notice to falsely claim that he is dead, but in fact he is on his way back to the capital with a group of guards."

Shen Tang frowned when he heard the news that Murong Jin was on the road: "You are not unaware of what happened when we came here. If you let His Highness go back like this, what will we do if something happens again on the way!"
