Chapter 144
The next morning, Nan Yan went to Yu Liuyun's yard as usual, but anyone could see that the leader's wife was in a bad mood today, and even the atmosphere during dinner became quiet and depressing.
The leader looked at her again and again, but she refused to even look at him. When he gave her her favorite soup bun, she just said thank you calmly and lowered her head to eat her breakfast quietly.
Yu Liuyun felt that there was an inexplicable emotion churning in his heart. He wanted to say something, but the other party remained silent and refused to respond, or just said "hmm" perfunctorily with an obviously absent-minded smile on his face, which made Yu Liuyun feel even more uncomfortable.
After the meal, the two of them didn't talk much. Yu Liuyun looked at her from time to time, but this time his wife was obviously really angry. Was she still brooding over that matter from last night to now? She was brooding over the things that he cared about his ex-fiancée.
After resting for a while, it was time for Yu Liuyun to practice sword as usual. His martial arts improved almost every day, which was inseparable from his daily unremitting practice. Yu Liuyun felt very annoyed, and thought that since she was angry and refused to pay attention to him, he might as well practice sword first, otherwise the anger in his heart would be hard to get rid of.
After all, she won't leave me.
Thinking of this, he was about to stand up to get the long sword hanging on the wall. At this moment, his wife beside him also stood up, then slowly walked to him, turned her face away and said sullenly, "I feel so bored here, I want to walk around to relax, is that ok?"
When Yu Liuyun heard this, he paused for a moment, looked down at his wife in front of him, and for some reason, he felt something strange in his heart. He couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Why, don't you want to watch me practice sword today?"
Nan Yan shook her head, her eyebrows and eyes still had that gentle look, but there was a hint of annoyance in her eyes. She replied directly, "It's the same every day anyway. I've been watching it for so long and it's getting a little boring. I don't want to watch it anymore today."
Yu Liuyun lowered his eyes and didn't say anything, but he inexplicitly felt a stuffy and uncomfortable feeling in his chest. But he knew that it was all his fault. It was his hot and cold attitude towards her that made her uneasy and sad, and he couldn't let go of another woman after getting married. The source of all this was because of him. He knew that she was still sulking about what happened last night.
After thinking about it, Yu Liuyun did not hesitate and directly handed over the leader token hanging on his waist. Then he softened his expression and said in a gentle voice, "With this token, you can go anywhere you want in the sect to relax. No one will stop you. Just don't go too far and don't leave the house casually, lest there will be danger outside."
He glanced at his wife's face and couldn't help but add, "If you're really bored, I can go down the mountain with you, just like your father-in-law used to take you to the market at the foot of the mountain. I can accompany you."
Nan Yan was a little surprised when she heard this. She raised her head and looked at her husband in front of her. His face was calm, and his previous cold and indifferent look had disappeared completely. His eyes were full of concern for her.
Nan Yan shook her head and refused, "Not for now. My husband is busy with his daily affairs. How can I take up your time? I can just walk around the church by myself. Don't worry about me. The maid will follow me."
After saying this, the leader opposite seemed to frown unconsciously. It was unclear whether it was because she rejected him without much hesitation this time, or because he was upset and depressed because he always used the excuse of being busy with church affairs to reject her in order to reduce the time he spent with his wife.
This is really a case of tit for tat.
So, the leader stood there and watched his wife take the token from his hand, then turned around and left without hesitation with the maid, without even looking back.
I suddenly felt even more upset.
On the other side, Nan Yan, who had just walked out of the yard, began to pretend to wander around the sect. When she saw the sect leader's badge that she had successfully obtained, her mood was obviously much better.
Although she is the daughter of the previous leader and the wife of the current leader, apart from these, she is like an invisible person in the Xuancang Sect.
The church members respected her very much, but that was only because of her status.
After all, she has made no contribution to the Xuancang Sect. The person who can become the leader must be someone who can lead the Xuancang Sect to prosperity. People in the sect only obey the instructions and orders of the leader. Such a Xuancang Sect is not a place she can order around at will with the identity of the leader's wife.
Without the permission of the leader, she would be restricted from going to some important places. However, now that she has this badge, it should not be difficult for her to go to the underground palace.
Nan Yan sent away the maid who was serving her personally, and then walked directly towards the underground palace with the badge in hand.
When the guards first saw her, they were obviously nervous and embarrassed, because the leader's rule was extremely strict. Without orders, no one was allowed to enter or leave the underground palace at will, including his wife.
But now he didn't receive any orders, and his wife came here in person. How could he not be embarrassed? After all, it would be a huge trouble if he offended his wife.
The guard bowed respectfully to the leader's wife in front of him and said, "Madam, I cannot let you in without the leader's order. Otherwise, the leader will definitely kill me."
"Is it not possible even with this token?"
Nan Yan directly handed him the token in her hand.
The guard looked up and checked it carefully. After confirming that it was the leader's unique token, he hesitated for a moment, but finally let the person in.
He was originally thinking about whether he should report to the leader, but was stopped by Nan Yan in time, saying that she was just following the leader's orders to come and see the woman imprisoned in the palace underground, and would not do anything else. The guard was relieved.
"I understand. If that's the case, I won't bother you anymore. Madam, you have to be careful. You have to come out in a quarter of an hour. The woman imprisoned in the underground palace is in the innermost stone chamber. She has a bad temper. You must not argue with her."
Nan Yan responded, turned around and went downstairs.
The underground palace of Xuancang Sect is underground. The entire Xuancang Sect is built on top of a peak. The deeper you go, the darker and gloomier the underground becomes palace. The candles on the copper platforms on both sides are lit, dispelling some of the coldness.
Nan Yan walked to the innermost stone chamber. It's not quite appropriate to call it a stone chamber, because when this underground palace was first built, it was used to help the sect avoid risks and disasters. The iron door outside was made of black iron and could not be opened without a key. It was a typical easy to defend but difficult to attack structure.
The stone room where Lin Pianran lived was more like a small courtyard. Apart from not seeing the sun and not being able to enter and leave at will, Yu Liuyun treated her very kindly. After all, this woman had hurt him time and time again. If it were someone else, the grass would probably be three feet deep over the grave.
Nan Yan walked a distance further inside and saw Lin Pianran, who was sitting on a stone bench, staring at a small window not far away with a frown on his face. He didn't suffer any injuries. Although his face looked a little pale and thin, looking at his dark eyes, he should be in good spirits.
In order to deliberately humiliate his ex-fiancée, Yu Liuyun had even modified this stone chamber.
The original heavy and thick stone door was removed and replaced with a prison frame door made of black iron. From the gap in the prison frame, she could clearly see the changes in Lin Pianran's facial expression.
Especially when she saw her walking towards her, the heroine seemed to be in a trance for a moment and thought she was hallucinating. Otherwise, how could she see a woman walking towards her instead of the annoying Yu Liuyun?
But when she fully reacted and confirmed that the woman in front of her was not her illusion, Lin Pianran's expression suddenly changed, and then he stared at her vigilantly, and rushed to the door frame nervously and unwilling to give up, and subconsciously asked,
"Who are you and who sent you here?"
Nan Yan was silent for a while, and looked at Lin Pianran carefully. After a while, she looked at the woman in front of her calmly and said, "I am Yu Liuyun's wife."
To be honest, Nan Yan did not have much ill will towards Yu Liuyun's former fiancée. She was not the culprit and was more of a victim. After all, she had been locked up in this underground palace by Yu Liuyun without seeing the sun for nearly two months. Such punishment was not light.
Although all of this was caused by Yu Liuyun, it does not rule out the possibility that she deserved it. After all, after Lin Pianran broke off the engagement, she humiliated the male protagonist mercilessly and abandoned him like a beggar.
Since you dare to do such a thing, you can't blame others for taking revenge.
The only thing that puzzled her was that Lin Pianran still chose to be with Yu Liuyun in the end. If she could insist on never forgiving that man, she could still praise her for having principles. However, this man's final casual words of letting bygones be bygones and starting over made her, the legitimate wife, the most redundant person.
Lin Pianran did not directly harm the original owner, but the original owner's death was also related to her.
After all, the original owner really helped her, rescued her, and helped her reunite with her fiancé, but in the end, she became her own husband's wife. How could this be possible?
Don't you feel a bit guilty?
Even after the original owner took great pains to help them leave, he never received a single sincere thank you.
Although the original owner had her own selfish motives, having selfish motives is one thing, but the fact that he helped her is also beyond doubt.
After hearing what Nan Yan said, Lin Pianran was obviously stunned for a moment. She pursed her lips and subconsciously said, "Wife, you are... Yu Liuyun's wife."
"So, Yu Liuyun has already been married?"
Lin Pianran's tone was somewhat incredulous, and she indeed had not expected that Yu Liuyun was already married.
And he married such a beautiful and gentle woman. How could anyone like such a person?
Lin Pianran couldn't tell what she felt in her heart for a moment.
This also made Lin Pianran unconsciously raise a question in her mind: what exactly did he mean by saying those words every time he came here to force her to fulfill the marriage contract?
Did he intend to make her his concubine and humiliate her?
Bah, forget it!
Thinking of this, Lin Pianran felt that the possibility was even greater, and she was so angry that her eyes turned slightly red.
She felt as if she understood that the man just wanted to use these things to take revenge on her!
He really went too far. He had already married a wife and the past was in the past, so why was he still clinging to her and refusing to let her go?
Lin Pianran unconsciously clenched her fingers, her knuckles turning slightly white. Forget it! She would never be a concubine in her life, and he must not even think of using this to humiliate her!
Lin Pianran quickly restrained the expression on her face. She suddenly raised her head and looked at the woman in front of her, her eyes still red. "So you are Yu Liuyun's wife, then why did you come to me? Do you want to mock me for how miserable I am because of Yu Liuyun, or do you want to kill me directly to vent your anger?"
Nan Yan looked at Lin Pianran, who seemed a little agitated, and wondered what excessive things she had imagined to make her so angry?
In the original plot, he was begging the original owner to let her out and helping her pass on the message, so why did he become like this when facing her? Does she look like she has bad intentions?
But when I think about it carefully, I think it is quite normal. After all, when the same person meets at different times, everything will become different because of a subtle attitude.
Nan Yan also raised her eyes slightly, looked at her and said, "If I really wanted to kill you, do you think you would still be able to resist?"
Lin Pianran was not stupid. She just thought of the past and was angry about what Yu Liuyun said in the past. Now that she had calmed down, after hearing what Nan Yan said, she opened her mouth and couldn't help but reply,
"You don't have to scare me. Although I have no ability to resist, I also know that since Yu Liuyun has been holding me captive and has not killed me directly, he must have his own reasons. If you rashly attack me, aren't you afraid that he will blame you in the future?"
When Lin Pianran said this, she might not even realize that she had an inexplicable confidence in her heart.
After hearing this, Nan Yan probably understood that the reason why Lin Pianran dared to treat Yu Liuyun like this was simply because she knew in her heart that Yu Liuyun could not kill her. This was probably the unique self-confidence of the heroine.
He couldn't bear to really kill her. Although the man kept saying that he wanted revenge, he had never done anything to hurt her except locking her up.
Even though she had viciously scratched his neck with a hairpin last time, Yu Liuyun had only strangled her in anger and ultimately did not kill her.
How could a normal person dare to treat an enemy who wanted to take revenge on him like this? Moreover, she would curse and mock him every time they met. It was simply because she relied on the affection that Yu Liuyun once had for him. Because she knew that he was reluctant to let her go, she was so reckless and reckless.
They enjoy this special treatment, yet they despise the privilege it brings. All we can say is that these two people are willing to fight and be beaten, and no one can be blamed.
Lin Pianran probably knew this, so she always had a disdainful attitude towards Yu Liuyun. It's not that there is no love between the two of them, but it all depends on who bows their head and compromises first.
No wonder the two of them can be together happily in the end.
Nan Yan frowned slightly, but she didn't feel angry after hearing this. Instead, she lowered her head and chuckled. Then she raised her eyes and looked at the woman in front of her calmly, and said softly, "Young lady, you know my husband very well, but you don't have to worry. I haven't thought about doing anything to you. I just want to ask you a question. Do you know why my husband has been locking you up?"
When Lin Pianran heard her call him "my husband" every time she spoke, she suddenly felt a very subtle feeling in her heart. The feeling was a little strange, and there was an indescribable feeling.
Perhaps it was because something that originally belonged to her was thrown away without hesitation after she got tired of it, but was picked up by another person and carefully treasured like a treasure. This inexplicable feeling suddenly made her feel uncomfortable in her heart, and she herself didn't know the reason.
Maybe people are always contradictory. Sometimes when something is right in front of them, they will despise it and feel disdain for it. But once someone takes it away, they will feel like they have lost something and feel empty inside.
Lin Pianran just felt a little annoyed. She tried her best to ignore this strange and uncomfortable feeling in her heart, and then asked, "Why are you asking these questions? This is originally a matter between him and me. Even if you are his wife, you can't change the current situation."
"Unless you can let me leave here, then I will tell you all these things. But if you just want to find out about that stinky beggar... Yu Liuyun from me because you care about him, then I don't want to accompany you."
When cursing the stinky beggar, Lin Pianran paused for a moment and swallowed the curse in her mouth.
Well, you're quite good at bargaining.
Nan Yan looked at the heroine in front of her, whose attitude was completely different from that in the original plot. She wondered if it was because Yu Liuyun had been indifferent to her during this period, so she became a little impatient when facing her, Yu Liuyun's wife. In the original plot, Yu Liuyun went to the underground palace every few days, and Lin Pianran just felt disgusted, so when she saw the original owner, she just wanted to ask her to help pass on the message.
Nan Yan didn't get angry after hearing this. She took out the jade love lock from her arms and showed it to her. Then she smiled and said, "Miss, do you know this thing? You don't have to be so defensive against me. It's just that your fiancé made a deal with me and asked me to help rescue you."
"I just want to ask about your relationship with my husband. However, if you don't want to answer, forget it."
Anyway, she already knew most of the mess, so she asked a few questions and pretended to be nice in order to maintain her image.
Sure enough, after she finished speaking, she saw Lin Pianran's expression change, and her eyes were fixed on the love lock in her hand. Then she rushed forward in surprise, "Wait a minute, this is Xiuyan's love lock. Did Xiuyan really ask you to come here? He has been worried about me and is looking for a chance to save me, right? I knew he would not give up on me."
After Nan Yan took out the heart-shaped lock, Lin Pianran's attitude really changed a lot. She explained the past between her and Yu Liuyun in great detail, even telling them about what happened in the underground palace at the beginning.
Nan Yan just listened quietly, which made Lin Pianran a little unsure of her attitude. However, after she finished speaking, the woman opposite her gave her a guarantee as promised and left.
Lin Pianran could only watch her leaving back and pray silently, praying that her fiancé would rescue her as soon as possible. She was really fed up with this hellhole.
If she stayed any longer, she would collapse. The man had not come to see her since the last time he came. She could no longer bear being alone for such a long time.
She didn't even know what that lunatic was planning. Did he really want to lock her up like this for the rest of her life?
Why does he do that?
After Nan Yan returned, she asked her maid to take the token and secretly go to the inn at the foot of the mountain under the pretext of going out shopping to deliver a message, telling them that she had indeed found the imprisoned heroine in the underground palace, but the area around the underground palace was heavily guarded, and she could not release the girl directly for the time being.
After receiving this news, the two of them couldn't wait to visit Xuancang Sect again that night.
But this time he didn't wander around randomly, but went straight to the yard where Nan Yan lived.
They are going to find the leader's wife to discuss how to save Pian Pian.
In the past few days, the maids all knew that the leader's wife was in a bad mood and seemed to have some conflicts with the leader. She went to bed early at night. Even when the leader came, his wife sent him back on the pretext that he was asleep. This made it easier for the two to meet at night than before.
At night, after Nan Yan sent all the maids away, she sat in the room quietly waiting for the two men to arrive.
At first, he was holding an ancient book and flipping through it. He didn't know how long it had been, when suddenly a swaying figure was reflected on the screen. He heard the window behind him being pushed open with a "creak", and then two figures jumped in quickly from the windowsill.
Nan Yan turned around slightly, and when she saw the two people falling from the sky, her expression was still stunned for a moment. She frowned twice, as if she was a little dissatisfied with the commotion the two people made, but thinking about the deal between the two parties, she didn't say much.
Nan Yan watched as the person who came in from behind closed the window carefully. She put down the book in her hand and was about to walk forward, but the figure standing in front of her rushed over impatiently and grabbed her sleeve.
The pair of dark, round eyes stared at her, and there seemed to be a flash of surprise in them. He couldn't help but chase her and ask, "Is Sister Pianpian okay? Is she injured? How is her spirit? By the way, did you tell her that my senior brother and I are already thinking of a way to save her, and told her not to worry."
Nan Yan looked at the man's anxious expression and didn't want to give him a good face. She still remembered the "grudge" between them. Seeing that this man was pulling someone's sleeve so unscrupulously, her expression changed slightly.
She was a little panicked, perhaps thinking of what happened last time, she slapped the back of his hand away, and scolded in a somewhat embarrassed manner, "What are you doing? Who told you to pull my clothes? Just talk, why are you pulling and tugging?"
Murong Tuo, who was originally full of joy, quickly let go after hearing this. He just couldn't suppress his excitement when he heard the news about Sister Pian Pian. Was it necessary to be so nervous? He wouldn't do anything to her.
Murong Tuo glanced down at the woman's expression, and when he saw the flash of disdain in her eyes, his face suddenly turned red uncontrollably.
He had never been rejected like this before, and he felt ashamed and annoyed at once, but he really had nothing to say.
It was just because he was in a hurry just now that he had indeed torn someone's clothes again. Especially when he thought of what happened last time, his jade-like face instantly turned even redder.
Murong Tuo had a sullen look on his face, feeling extremely unhappy.
But when he thought of his sweetheart, he couldn't help but miss her. He hesitated for a while, and finally he could only step forward with a flushed face and bow his head to apologize, "Okay, okay, I'm sorry, it's my fault, I was too impulsive, it's all my fault, I forgot my identity, I'm sorry! I've apologized to you, can you tell me about Sister Pianpian now?"
Nan Yan looked at the man's head finally lowered, and she felt much better. Is there no way for me to deal with you even in this situation?
She glanced at the man. Although his apology was sincere, she just didn't want to accept it. She turned her face away and snorted softly, then walked past him and walked to the other person. "Your fiancée is doing well now. Apart from not being able to enter and leave the underground palace at will, she has not suffered any injuries."
Hearing this, Zhao Xiuyan's expression immediately relaxed, as if he had breathed a sigh of relief. He then thought of something else and glanced at his junior fellow apprentice who was being completely ignored behind her.
Seeing this man's face flushed red and he looked like he was about to get angry again, I felt helpless for a moment.
I don’t know if these two people are born with incompatible auras, otherwise why would they quarrel as soon as they meet?
They seem like a pair of natural enemies.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xiuyan seemed to smile a little, then nodded and said, "Thank you for telling me, Miss. I'm glad Pianpian is fine. Don't you think so, Junior Brother?"
Murong Tuo gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, glaring at her with hatred. What is that? What does it have to do with him? This woman wasn't talking to him!
He didn't even know if he and this evil cult's little witch were incompatible, otherwise why was there such a chaotic situation every time they met?
Although he was at fault last time, the woman scolded him and stepped on him. When he went back home, his fingers couldn't even hold the chopsticks steadily. He was also ridiculed by his senior brother. Moreover, he had already apologized today, so why did she still have such an extremely disgusted attitude? It really pissed him off.
Nan Yan ignored him. She reached her fingers out from her sleeves and gently tugged at the clothes of the man in front of her. Then she handed him a waist badge, with a troubled look on her face. "Look, with this waist badge, you can enter the underground palace at will, but you can only stay there for a quarter of an hour. If you want to sneak in directly and then bring her out, it's almost impossible, and my husband will notice it soon. Unless my husband is not in the sect, then the possibility of saving people may be greater."
Nan Yan frowned unconsciously at this point, and her expression seemed a little depressed. "My husband has nothing to do these days, and everything is going well in the church. He won't go out at this time, so I really can't help you."
Hearing this, Master Zhao Xiuyan and his brother looked at each other and frowned at the same time. They had not expected that the guards of the Xuancang Sect's underground palace would be so strict. If it was as the woman said, without her help, they would not have been able to rescue Pianpian safely.
Even if they were lucky enough to rescue someone, they would not be able to withstand the interception of so many guards from the Xuancang Sect. They would probably be discovered and captured by Yu Liuyun before they could even get down the mountain.
This is indeed a big trouble.
If they couldn't lure Lu Liuyun away, they could only think of a way to prevent him from staring at them.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xiuyan frowned again, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. His brows relaxed slightly, and his eyes fell on the woman in front of him again, "Girl, I think you don't want Pian Pian to be stuck between you and your husband. If you can't lure your husband away, we can only make him unable to stare at us during this period of time. We can give him medicine and let him sleep for a while."
Hearing this, Nan Yan immediately snatched the badge back from his hand. She subconsciously refused, "No, I don't agree. I won't hurt my husband, let alone drug him. Don't even think about me doing this. Who knows if you will take the opportunity to hurt my husband?"
Nan Yan said this with a cautious and suspicious look in her eyes. She even took two steps back and continued, "If my husband really falls asleep, and you break your promise and take the opportunity to hurt him and bully us Xuan Cang Sect's Wu Ren, what should we do?"
Zhao Xiuyan frowned as he looked at the woman in front of him. Although he could understand his distrust of her, he still felt uncomfortable being denied and rejected so directly.
But Murong Tuo on the side couldn't help it, the veins on his forehead throbbed. He had been ignored by this man since just now, and he was feeling angry in his chest. Now he finally got the chance to refute.
He suddenly turned his head to look at Nan Yan, feeling angry and disdainful. "Hey, you really underestimate us. What do you think of me and my senior brother? Do you think we would do such a despicable and shameless thing? We just want to save people! Can you use your brain a little bit? You keep calling me your husband all day long, but do you care so much about someone who has deceived you from beginning to end? Can you have some pursuit?"
Nan Yan was also so angry that her face turned red, her breathing became slightly rapid, and the corners of her eyes were slightly red. She bit her lip, turned her head and glared at him angrily, "Who do you care about me? What does this have to do with you? And I don't care about my husband, do you want me to care about you, a shameless pervert who specializes in tearing people's clothes? Anyway, you want me to do something that hurts my husband, I won't agree to it."
When Murong Tuo heard this, he was also stunned.
After realizing what she said, he felt even more uncomfortable. He took a step forward and glared back at her, gritting his teeth. "Who wants you, a witch, to care? What nonsense are you talking about? I've already apologized to you, why are you still holding on to that matter?"
"Who is the pervert? Have you ever seen a real pervert? I have never bullied any woman in my life. What makes you say I am a pervert?"
When Murong Tuo said this, he took a step forward. He was so aggressive and assertive, and when he came over so suddenly, it really gave people an indescribable sense of oppression, which made people inevitably worried.
Nan Yan seemed to be frightened by his domineering attitude. Her face flushed and she subconsciously took a step back. However, she still showed reluctance in her eyes. She raised her eyes and glared at him shyly, "Why are you so close to me? Back off! Hurry up and back off! I'm just telling you the truth. You were wrong first. Besides, even if my husband is bad, it's not your turn to blame him. What's wrong with me scolding you?"
Murong Tuo refused to accept and wanted to argue with her.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Zhao Xiuyan rubbed his swollen eyebrows and suddenly whispered, "Okay, Junior Brother, stop arguing. Have you forgotten why we came here tonight? We are here to ask for help."
After he finished scolding his junior brother, he turned around and looked at Nan Yan, who was retreating again and again. She was obviously a little scared, but she was still trying to hold on to her aura. He said to her in a gentle voice, "Miss, if you are really worried, can I stay here as your hostage? During the time when my junior brother goes to rescue people, that is, during the time when your husband is in a coma, I will be your hostage. If my junior brother really does something rash, you can just kill me and bury me with your husband. Is that okay?"
Hearing this, Murong Tuo subconsciously retorted, and he said anxiously, "How can that be possible, Senior Brother? I go to the Underground Palace alone. What if I can't save Sister Pian Pian? Besides, this witch has so many demands, who knows if she is bluffing you?"
Nan Yan had come up to this man without knowing when. When he said this, she suddenly couldn't help but kick him hard on the calf. Then she stared at him with red eyes and said, "You are the witch. You are pushing it too far. Why can't your senior brother be my hostage, but my husband has to take the risk alone?"
Murong Tuo gritted his teeth in anger after being kicked. Although it didn't hurt at all, it was a matter of face.
And he didn't know what was going on, but when facing this stinky woman, he completely lost his face.
He stared at the person, not willing to be outdone. "You want a hostage, right? Fine, let my senior brother go and save Sister Pian Pian, and I'll be your hostage, okay? Who's asking for too much? I'm just worried that my senior brother will be deceived and fooled by a demon... woman like you."
When the heroine heard this, she suddenly looked at him with disdain, then turned away and said in a muffled voice, "No, I don't want you. Who knows if you have bad intentions and are deliberately doing bad things to bully me?"
She snorted softly, "I still remember that you bullied me before. I don't believe you."
Murong Tuo's breath was stuck in his throat, almost making him die of anger. "You... you are simply ignorant of what is good for you. Do you think I am interested in you? Who the hell is willing to be your hostage?"
After saying this, the two looked at each other, the atmosphere froze for a moment, and then they turned their heads away and snorted coldly, showing an attitude of disgust towards each other.
Zhao Xiuyan rubbed his aching brows. He had never thought that he would encounter such a situation one day. He walked over and separated the two people, and then finalized, "Stop talking. Can't you two take a step back? Don't forget that we are cooperating now. Miss Zhou, I promise you, I will be your hostage, and you can help me drug your husband. After we rescue Pianpian, I will take her away from here as soon as possible. From now on, I will never show up to disturb you two again. Do you think this is okay?"
Originally Murong Tuo wanted to say something else, but seeing his senior brother's serious look, he was hesitant for a moment, and finally he could only swallow his anger.
Nan Yan on the other end hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and finally agreed. However, she thought of another problem and frowned slightly, "But there is another problem. My husband used to be a medicine man for a poison doctor. He has tried many kinds of poisons. His body has already had certain drug properties. Many drugs are ineffective on him."
Zhao Xiuyan thought for a moment, then took out a white porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to her. "This is a kind of medicine powder made secretly by our Zhao family. It is usually used for pain relief and anesthesia. It is put in wine. It is colorless and tasteless. People who are drugged will just fall asleep, and when they wake up, they will think they are drunk. You should be able to make him drowsy with this."
Nan Yan was very cautious, looking at him suspiciously, and repeatedly asked, "Will this really not hurt him?"
Zhao Xiuyan nodded and said, "This is not poison, it's just a simple drug. It won't cause any harm."
Nan Yan thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and finally took the small porcelain bottle from him, then held it tightly in her palm and said softly, "I understand."
