Kill me if you can (6)

"My eyes?" Yun Sheng seemed to have expected her to ask about his eyes, and answered fluently, "I had a serious illness when I was young, and I didn't have time to treat it, so my eyes are so bad now."

As he spoke, the man's tone was filled with a hint of regret. Although Shen Tang had only known her for a short time, she had no doubt about his intentions in sneaking into the Jiang residence. She was standing here as a grown-up person. Although he could not kill her in front of this cheap old man, the murderous intent in his heart was definitely no less than she imagined.

"Haha, that's really a pity," Shen Tang replied with a wry smile, "but I'm hiring a guard. If I hire a blind man as a guard, I'd worry about whether my life would be in danger."

"Dad, I don't trust his ability, please change someone else." Shen Tang rejected Jiang's father's suggestion without even thinking about it. In her opinion, leaving behind such a great plague god was the greatest irresponsibility to her life! Wouldn't it be better for him to recruit another person at this time? Why did he have to drag this killing god into it?

However, Shen Tang didn't believe that Yun Sheng didn't have any tricks behind it. After all, Jiang's father was an old hand. As an elder in the inner cabinet, the recruitment of guards must have gone through layers of investigation. It was just unknown what means Yun Sheng had used to pass the inspection of his cheap father.

Seeing Shen Tang's sullen face, Father Jiang patted her shoulder earnestly, "Son, how can you not believe in Dad's judgment? Listen to Dad, this strength is not comparable to those boys in the past. Let him fight with the guards around him, and you will know what Dad means."

Shen Tang laughed in her heart, how could she not know the other party's methods? In the previous mission world, how could the person who could eventually become the master of Qianji Pavilion be an ordinary person? How could these other little guards be able to stop this man's ruthless tricks.

Imagining the scene of the other guards lying on the ground in pieces, Shen Tang quickly shook her head and thought, forget it. She calmed down and looked back at Yun Sheng, a provocative smile slowly appeared on her slightly pale and thin face.

"If you must be my bodyguard, then go find the Cold Heart Lotus on the Thousand Snow Mountain." Shen Tang seemed to have not considered the weakness of the man in front of him. He crossed his arms and said calmly, "If you can't even do this, then don't be a bodyguard. Go home and farm."

Shen Tang made this request not to give the male protagonist a chance to kill her. As a necessary herb for the antidote to the disease in the previous mission, the Hanxin Lotus is not so easy to get. In the last mission, in order to collect the Hanxin Lotus, the Medicine Pavilion mobilized countless people to go to Qianxue Mountain to collect it. The growth environment of this herb is particularly harsh. If there is no military support, it will be blocked by the evil wind on Qianxue Mountain before reaching the halfway point.

What really prevented them from reaching the top of the mountain was not the evil wind, but the location where the Hanxin Lotus grew. The top of Qianxue Mountain was covered with heavy snow, and it was covered with ice and snow as far as the eye could see. In such an environment, the Hanxin Lotus happened to grow on the edge of the cliff. The snow made it difficult to find the road conditions under foot, not to mention that the Hanxin Lotus was completely white and completely blended into the snow scene, making it even more difficult to search.

Although Shen Tang didn't live long in the last mission, she remembered everything about Han Xinlian clearly. After all, without this herb, the disciple of the Medicine Pavilion would not be able to make the antidote for future epidemics. Shen Tang felt that although Yun Sheng wanted to kill her, she would probably think twice under her condition, after all, this was not an easy mission.

The head of Yaoge felt something was wrong when he heard this. He didn't know why his daughter asked the other party to pick the Hanxin Lotus. He just thought that his daughter didn't like this guard and made such a request to embarrass him. He was about to step forward to speak for others, but Yun Sheng spoke before him.

"Okay, since Master Jiang believes that I am not capable of being your bodyguard, then I will prove it to you," the man with his eyes closed answered calmly, as if this was a very simple matter for him.

"Son, this man is carefully selected by me from the strong men I found. He has always lived with my mother. My mother passed away not long ago, so I recruited him. If you kill him on the Thousand Snow Mountain, you will regret it!" The old pavilion master whispered in Shen Tang's ear, trying to make Shen Tang change her mind. But once she made up her mind, Shen Tang would not react even if the old pavilion master kept nagging her.

"Alright, Dad, please stop talking. If this man really has such great ability, then what does Han Xinlian mean to him? Besides, since he dares to agree to this, doesn't it mean that he has already known about this matter? You'd better not try to be mean", while saying this, Shen Tang deliberately coughed twice, and faint bloodstains appeared on her lightly covered hands. The old pavilion master saw it clearly, and then he stopped thinking of lecturing again.

The head of the Medicine Pavilion let out a long sigh and said, "Forget it, forget it. It's up to you."

Yun Sheng did not notice the movements of the two people, but just stood quietly among the group of guards, with his long eyelashes slightly lowered, his black clothes rustling, and the end of the long pine green ribbon covering his eyes fluttering in the oncoming wind. The next moment, the ribbon slowly fell to the ground. When Shen Tang looked over with his gray eyes, he almost thought that the man not far away could see their every move.

However, the other party's actions soon made her feel relieved. The moment the ribbon binding her eyes slipped off, Yun Sheng did not seem to feel any discomfort. She just instinctively bent down slowly after the covering on her eyes fell off, and groped around on the ground with her rough fingers, looking for the fallen ribbon.

Shen Tang raised the corners of her lips slowly, evil thoughts suddenly surfaced in her mind, she walked slowly to the man, thinking about how she had worked so hard to save her life during the last mission, and the slightly disheveled beauty of the man in front of her when he leaned over, she couldn't help but feel like abusing him.

Yun Sheng's hands were still groping back and forth on the ground, but his jaw was suddenly grasped by a soft, boneless hand and pressed down hard forward.

"Is that ribbon something important? Why are you looking for it so carefully?" The boy's tone was full of teasing and curiosity, but his hand carried a fragrance that was totally inconsistent with its owner's bad character.

Yun Sheng frowned, and tried to get rid of the hand that was holding his jaw in displeasure. However, to his surprise, his action did not break the hand's strength. Could it be that the son of the master of the medicine pavilion was secretly forcing others to refine some medicine? Little did he know that Shen Tang had only increased the strength of her hand involuntarily after her senses were reduced several times. The pill temporarily made her ignore the pain, but it also made her five senses much weaker than usual.

"It's not something important, but if I look directly at you, I'm afraid it would be disrespectful to you," the man said calmly, his tone gentle and polite, his gray eyes looking calmly in the direction in front of him, "If you just want to humiliate me, you can just kill me directly, there's no need to treat me in this way."

Shen Tang laughed secretly in her heart. How could she dare to kill him? If Yun Sheng died, then the meaning of her coming to this world would no longer exist. Moreover, she was not unaware of this man's provocation. If she really killed him like this, the guards around her would probably rebel first.

The young man snorted heavily and shook off the hand that had just pinched Yun Sheng. As her body was too weak, Yun Sheng was fine after Shen Tang made the move, but her hand left a red mark after shaking off the other's cheek. At that moment, Yun Sheng's eyes happened to be facing her hand. Maybe it was Shen Tang's illusion, she vaguely felt that the other's eyebrows slightly frowned.

When she calmed down and looked again, the other person had returned to his original state. It was impossible for this person to see clearly since he was blind. But out of vigilance, Shen Tang still asked Father Jiang about Yun Sheng's blindness. This cheap father swore that even the imperial physician could not figure out any cure, so he must be blind. Shen Tang was relieved.

In any case, compared to Yun Sheng who had intact vision in the last mission, Yun Sheng now seems to be less aggressive.

Shen Tang thought over and over again and then waved his hand. "Forget it. I don't have any sexual fetishes and I'm not interested in your ribbon. Remember what you said. When you can bring back the Han Xin Lotus, you can be the guard of my Jiang family again."

"Don't try to take shortcuts. There is only one road to Qianxue Mountain. If you asked someone else to pick the Hanxin Lotus, we would know it clearly." Although the pale-faced boy was weak, his words were very blunt. There was a faint blush on his cheek because of the slightly heavier tone, which made him look pitiful. Father Jiang was afraid that Shen Tang would get angry and fall ill in bed again, so he had to start to drive him away shamelessly.

"My son is tired too. You guys just need to come and learn about it today. As for that blind boy, Yun, yes, Yun Sheng, you should leave today." The old owner of the medicine pavilion still had some respect for his talent. "It's not a big deal if you can't be a guard. It would be nice to be a clerk in my shop..."

"No," Shen Tang firmly rejected Father Jiang's suggestion, her sharp eyes fixed on the man who was breathing heavily. She would never let this man stay in any place related to the medicine pavilion.

"This person has only two options: either pick the Hanxin Lotus to be my bodyguard, or stay away from the Jiang family completely."

Shen Tang scolded coldly, her snow coat fluttering as she turned around. After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards her room, not paying any attention to the strange gaze coming from behind. Needless to say, she knew that the other party was suspicious of her actions, but so what? Now that Jiang Mo was not here, the medicine pavilion could not be in trouble.
