Chapter 87 [VIP] Shadow Guard (1)
The mission was successfully completed, and Nan Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief when she returned to the system space. This time, her system would have no reason to accuse her of being passive and slacking off.
Finally, she could have a good rest for a few days. Nan Yan happily leaned on the sofa and made herself a cup of honey flower tea. She also had some traditional snacks to fill her stomach. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. It turned out that her little space was really good. It had everything she wanted and the service was thoughtful. But she always felt that the points were not enough to spend.
It seems that I still can't be passive and lazy. For the sake of a better life in the future, I have to travel around the world a few more times.
The system had just finished clearing the points, and when I looked up, I saw my host looking so leisurely. Thinking of the final outcome of the last world, I couldn't help but ask,
"Do you want to know Fu Qingzhou's final outcome?"
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, her expression natural, and took a sip of the tea on the table, "I don't know, but I can roughly guess that he will not marry Fang Wanrou anyway."
In fact, after she learned that Fang Wanrou had eye problems after the car accident, she had been puzzled. Most of the text worlds are based on people like the male and female protagonists. These people have the luck of world consciousness. Luck is a mysterious thing, invisible and intangible, but it still plays a very obvious role at critical moments. For example, in the previous world, Fu Qingzhou and Zhou Nanyan were in a car accident together in the original plot. Fu Qingzhou, who had luck, was luckier than Zhou Nanyan. Not only was he unscathed, but he also had a happy reunion with the heroine.
So before she escaped, she agreed to an agreement for cornea donation and transplantation. One reason was to test whether she was really blind, and the other was to help her if she was really injured. I just don't know if she used this agreement in the end?
The system saw her blinking, thought for a moment, and couldn't help but tell her the ending of the few people. "You are right, Fang Wanrou's eyes are indeed fine. On the day you had the car accident, she couldn't bear the guilt in her heart, so she told the truth. After that, she completely cut off contact with Fu Qingzhou. Half a month later, Fu Qingzhou committed suicide. Fang Wanrou got seriously ill after hearing the news. She was so seriously ill that she couldn't even take care of herself. Later, with the help of a psychiatrist, she slowly recovered her health and mood. After that, she was with that psychiatrist."
"Without Jiang Shaoyan's help, the Fang family began to go downhill. In less than a year, the Fang family was forced to declare bankruptcy. Fang Wanrou immigrated abroad with the psychiatrist. Before leaving, she stayed in front of Fu Qingzhou's grave for an afternoon and never came back."
Nan Yan was a little surprised when she heard what the system said, "Fu Qingzhou committed suicide?"
The system thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, but his consciousness has not completely dissipated. Currently, this part of the content has not been released to the main host, so I can't tell you at will."
As soon as the system finished speaking, it started to urge again, "Okay, that's all I have to say. If you have any questions, you can add them next time. The next world mission is about to begin."
Nan Yan immediately jumped up from the sofa, her whole body full of resistance, "Are you kidding? I just came back a few days ago, Zhou Bapi is not as cruel as you, I protest, I haven't rested enough."
"Protest is ineffective!"
"Someone has already reported your passive work in the last world to the main system. It's very kind of the boss not to deduct your points. If you don't behave yourself, be careful that the boss will send you to the punishment world!"
"Just that one time..."
Before she could finish her words, Nan Yan felt the world spinning before her eyes, and she was thrown into the next world without any preparation.
Before she could recover, as soon as she opened her eyes, the river water rushed into her nose and mouth, along with the muddy sand. Before she could even open her mouth, she was choked by a mouthful of cold river water. The oppressive feeling of death and suffocation came over her, and she felt sick instantly! What kind of hellish beginning is this?
Why did she fall into the river?
Thinking of this, Nan Yan didn't even have time to accept the plot, and she immediately began to struggle violently in the river.
But the river was too turbulent, and the more she struggled, the deeper she sank. Just as her strength was getting weaker and her consciousness was getting dizzy and she was about to fall into a coma, a slender and strong arm suddenly came from behind her, tightly wrapped around her waist, and then held her tightly in his arms.
Nan Yan felt the flat and strong chest of the man behind her. From the feeling of being embraced, it was obvious that he was a man, probably a martial artist. Even in such a turbulent river, the strength of his hands holding her did not decrease at all.
Someone came to save her, so Nan Yan simply gave up the struggle.
Someone lifted her chin up out of the water, and she finally took a breath of fresh air, but accidentally choked on some earthy-smelling river water. The two of them floated and struggled all the way, and finally drifted to the gentle downstream, after which Nan Yan completely lost consciousness.
The man held her all the way and after a lot of effort, he finally climbed up to a lower river bank.
Nan Yan, who has lost consciousness, is now receiving the plot.
This time it is set in an ancient world. The male protagonist is a shadow guard belonging to Qixia Villa, the undisputed number one killer in the Shadow Guard Building, and he also happens to be a shadow guard who protects the original body.
Qixia Villa is located between the imperial court and the underworld. The Shadow Guard Building was built by the previous owners of the villa as a place to train assassins, shadow guards, and narcotics.
However, with the intervention of the imperial court in recent years, the power of the rivers and lakes has been constantly divided, and the martial arts world has gradually stabilized. The killers who originally killed people in secret have gradually transformed into shadow guards in public due to their identities being exposed, and began to protect the masters of the villa.
The original owner, Ye Nanyan, was a lady from Qixia Shang Manor. Qixia Shan Manor had nothing but beauties. When Ye Manor was young, he was good-looking. With his outstanding status and position, he naturally married many wives. Now, there are more than ten children in the whole manor, big and small, which is truly a wealthy family in ancient times.
The original owner, Ye Nanyan, was neither a legitimate child nor the daughter of the most favored wife. The only thing she had to offer was her good looks.
But in this kind of family, having outstanding looks is not something to be proud of. Most beautiful daughters become tools of marriage, used by Master Ye to build connections in the court and consolidate his status in the underworld, and are used for marriage alliances.
The original owner was such a chess piece.
In order to get close to the Gao family in Tianxiang City, Master Ye did not hesitate to marry his own daughter to the head of the Gao family, who was almost half buried in the ground. The head's daughter had already found a husband and had children, and was much older than her father, Master Ye. Just to get close to the Gao family, Master Ye sent his daughter thousands of miles away to be someone's second wife.
As fate would have it, the day before the two were set to get married, the Gao family in Tianxiang City was wiped out by their enemies, and the head of the Gao family was shot dead on the spot.
What was supposed to be a happy wedding day with Ye Nanyue turned into a critical moment of escape. All the servants from Qixia Villa that Ye Nanyue brought with her were either killed or escaped, and she herself was targeted by Gao's enemies. She was chased all the way to the vicinity of the moat by the ruthless killers. In the end, with no way to go, Ye Nanyue, under the protection of the shadow guards, and the two could only jump into the river to escape.
So this is why Nan Yan was drowned by the river as soon as she came in, and almost lost her life. It turned out that the two of them were running for their lives!
And the one who protected her was no other than the guard assigned to her by Qixia Villa, Ying Shiqi, who was also the male protagonist in the plot. At this moment, the male protagonist was just a shadow guard without even a proper name. He was born in the Shadow Guard Building and lived on the edge of a knife all day long.
However, this is not the end of the story, but the beginning of the plot. Unfortunately, the original owner, Ye Nanyan, is not the heroine. She is just a tragic first love forgotten by the male protagonist.
During their escape, the two fell in love with each other. The lady from Shangzhuang in Qixia fell in love with her own shadow guard. Although the process was tortuous and difficult to understand, they finally expressed their feelings to each other and made a lifelong commitment to each other.
This was naturally not allowed, especially when the male protagonist brought Ye Nanyan back to Qixia Villa, the owner of the villa, Ye, quickly found a new marriage partner for Ye Nanyan.
In order to escape from Qixia Villa and to be with the person she truly loves, Ye Nanyan and Shiqi agreed to leave Qixia Villa together and be an ordinary couple from now on, no longer caring about trivial matters in the martial arts world or the court.
The two did escape, and they did find a beautiful village where they lived a happy life as husband and wife, but this peaceful life was soon broken by someone.
Other killers sent by the Shadow Guard Building came over. The male protagonist fought hard, but was outnumbered in the end. When he was exhausted, he was stabbed in the chest by someone.
Eventually he fell off a cliff and lost all trace, while the original owner was taken back to Qixia Shangzhuang and imprisoned again.
Everyone thought that the hero was dead, and only Ye Nanyue tried to find him. Unfortunately, her ability was too limited. Not only could she not get out, but she was even punished for running away. What happened afterwards was the official beginning of the plot.
The male protagonist can be said to have turned a disaster into a blessing. After falling off the cliff, he lost his memory and forgot everything in the past.
Not only did he not die, he also unexpectedly learned his true identity. It turned out that he was the young master who was lost in the Pingnan Palace more than ten years ago.
More than ten years ago, the princess of Prince Pingnan returned to her hometown to visit her relatives. On the way, she was robbed by an assassin. She had no choice but to secretly put her child in a cradle of a hunter's house.
He originally planned to escape the pursuit and then come back to take the child away, but he accidentally slipped down the hillside while avoiding the assassin and eventually lost consciousness.
By the time the prince brought people to rescue the princess, she was already seriously injured and fell into a coma. When the princess woke up again, more than half a month had passed, and her child had completely disappeared.
The only possibility was that she had used a secret potion to tattoo a cinnabar mole the size of a grain of rice behind the child's ear. It was because of this mark that the princess recognized the male protagonist at a glance as the child she had lost that year.
The male protagonist who lost his memory was taken back to the Pingnan Palace by the princess and became the only legitimate son of the palace.
Seventeen, the shadow guard of Qixia Villa, disappeared completely, and was replaced by Zhao Shiqi, the legitimate son of the Prince of Pingnan.
What follows is the story of how the male protagonist Zhao Shiqi and the real female protagonist meet, get to know each other, and finally fall in love.
When Zhao Shiqi, who knew nothing, first returned to the palace, he often made a lot of jokes because of his instinctive reaction as a shadow guard. It was the heroine who always stayed by his side to take care of him, help him, and even teach him the etiquette and rules of the palace bit by bit.
It was also during this process that Zhao Shiqi slowly fell in love with this gentle and considerate fiancée.
Throw away all the past.
Afterwards, the male protagonist inadvertently learned the truth about his injury, and began to work with the court to take back the Shadow Guard Tower. After the takeover, the Shadow Guard Tower was no longer focused on training secret guards to kill people, but gradually evolved into the male protagonist's new force.
Qixia Villa also suffered backlash from the Shadow Guard Tower. After all, not everyone wants to live a bloody life on the edge of a knife, and Qixia Villa is the source that forces them to give up their humanity.
The newly appointed owner of Shadow Guard Building, Ye Qiuchen, hated the original Qixia Villa to the core. After the villa was burned down, the original residents of the villa were either killed or fled, and those who could not escape were arrested.
However, Ye Nanyue was sent to a brothel because of her outstanding appearance. She cried, tried to escape, and asked for help, but the people in the brothel would not let her go just because she was pitiful.
Ye Nanyan even wanted to die, but the brothel owner would not let her. After forcing her to drink a bowl of drugs, she was sent to the guest room that night. After waking up, Ye Nanyan wanted to die desperately. She had stayed in the brothel for three whole months. She had no idea how many guests she had received, and she had no idea when this life worse than death would end completely. She didn't even know what the meaning of living like this was.
But she just lived on, and she didn't know why. It was as if there was always a belief in the dark that supported her, supporting her to live on. Maybe someone was still waiting for her? Even she herself didn't know the reason, and she just lived on like a walking corpse.
It wasn't until the night of the Lantern Festival that she saw her former lover Zhao Shiqi near the alley.
At that time, he was carefully accompanying another woman, holding a beautiful lotus lantern in his hand. He followed the woman closely, afraid that others would squeeze her or touch her. His eyes were full of attachment and love.
The moment Ye Nanyue saw him, she was stunned and tears immediately flowed out. Of course she knew who he was. How could she not recognize her former lover?
But, if he was not dead, why didn't he come back to find her? Didn't he know that she had been waiting for him?
Ye Nanyue rushed forward on the spot, tugged at his sleeve hard, and asked him in tears why he didn't come back to find her if he was not dead, and why he had forgotten the oath he had made.
He had clearly promised to take care of her for the rest of her life, so why didn't he stay by her side when she was most desperate? He even fell in love with another woman?
However, her questions were misunderstood as the usual tactics used by brothel girls to curry favor with the rich and powerful, and the servant beside him was so disgusted that he kicked her away and even took out a handkerchief to gently wipe the places she touched.
The girl next to him saw Nan Yan's appearance and thought she was a woman of questionable character that he had brought with him while having affairs outside. She was so angry that her eyes turned red on the spot, "You are so good, Zhao Shiqi. You keep saying that you like me, but is this what you like?"
"No wonder you don't let me go out all day, it turns out you're afraid I'll see your mistress."
Zhao Shiqi looked down at Ye Nanyan, who was wearing revealing clothes, and frowned on the spot, with a hint of disgust in his eyes. He turned around and explained to the woman beside him patiently with a bit of grievance, "Yan'er, you really misunderstood me this time."
"I don't know her at all. And you know, I just came back not long ago. I follow you every day to learn those rules. How could I know such an improper woman?"
'That kind of woman' is what she is called.
Ye Nanyan was completely stunned after hearing this.
She looked up at him blankly, tears streaming down her face one by one, and the girl next to him slapped the back of his hand angrily and embarrassedly after hearing what he said, but he grabbed her and put her in his arms, and finally took her away from here, without either of them even looking back at her.
Ye Nanyue just watched him walk away. She didn't bother to bother with him any more. After returning to the brothel, she sat there in a daze for the whole night. Finally, she took out the half of the jade pendant that Ying Shiqi gave her from her arms. In the early morning of the next day, when no one was paying attention, she directly set the bed curtain on fire and set herself on fire.
Before he died, he was still holding the jade pendant tightly in his hand. He said that he had been wearing it since he could remember. When the two of them escaped together, he gave the jade pendant to her as a token of love and said it was a betrothal gift for her.
But now he has forgotten, forgotten all their past. He now has a new identity, a new name, and a fiancée whom he deeply loves.
It was also on that day that all the beliefs that had supported her to live completely collapsed.
So, it's time for her to leave.
What happened afterwards had nothing to do with her, only the love story between the hero and heroine continued.
As the male protagonist continued to grow and become stronger, he had long forgotten the original owner. Even after he recovered his memories, his impression of Ye Nanyue was nothing more than a heartbeat when he was young and ignorant.
He was even somewhat thankful that he had lost his memory, otherwise he would not know how to face his current fiancée. After all, the only person he really cared about now was Du Yuyan.
After receiving the plot and seeing what happened to the original owner in the later period, Nan Yan couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this is too tragic!
Her lover had completely forgotten her, and even when his memory came back, he simply attributed this first love to an ignorant impulse of his youth, and wanted to dismiss all the past with the word "amnesia".
Nan Yan really wanted to say "Puh" at this. You're an adult, but you're still so immature. Why didn't you think of these things when you hugged her and kissed her?
No one knew that the only belief that kept Ye Nanyan alive was to see Zhao Shiqi again, but after actually seeing him, it became a knife that urges her to die. After all, no one can withstand such a blow.
