Shangguan Xinyi sat beside Xiefeng Ming and stared at him in a daze."Why did you protect me when I was in danger? "If you don't protect me…" she muttered to herself.
At this moment, she couldn't see Xiefeng Ming clearly anymore. He had clearly cast a spell on her and was clearly on guard against her, but he could easily make her feel his warmth…
It was already late at night. Shangguan Xinyi stayed by Xiefeng Ming's side and waited for him to wake up. Perhaps she was tired, but she actually fell asleep by the bed.
When Xiefeng Ming opened his eyes, he saw an unfamiliar environment and Shangguan Xinyi who was sleeping soundly beside him. He raised his hand, but he accidentally pulled on his wound. The pain made him frown and he had no choice but to put his hand down. He slowly closed his eyes and said,"Girl…I'm thirsty!"
Shangguan Xinyi seemed to be too tired to be woken up by Xie Fengming.
"Shangguan Xinyi! Wake up for this king! This king is thirsty!" Xiefeng Ming opened his eyes and shouted.
Shangguan Xinyi was startled awake by Xiefeng Ming's voice. She rubbed her eyes and looked at him in confusion."What is it? Xiefeng Ming, what are you doing?"
"This king said this king is thirsty! Go and give this king that water!" Xiefeng Ming looked at Shangguan Xinyi and said slowly.
At this moment, Shangguan Xinyi's confused appearance looked extremely cute under the moonlight, but the words coming out of her mouth made Xiefeng Ming a little angry.
"Are you thirsty? Go get it if you're thirsty. Why did you wake me up? Do you know that you are very heavy? I'm already so tired that I can't get up from carrying you all the way here. You're really arrogant!”Shangguan Xinyi couldn't help but say angrily, but she still obediently got up and went to get some water for Xiefeng Ming.
Xiefeng Ming wanted to get angry, but when he saw Shangguan Xinyi's back view, he couldn't help but smile. If he and this girl were to stay here forever, it might be a very interesting thing…
"Here you go!" Shangguan Xinyi brought a cup of water to Xiefeng Ming and pouted.
"Shangguan Xinyi! Do you think this king can take a cup of water and drink it in this state?”Xiefeng Ming raised his eyebrows and asked Shangguan Xinyi.
Shangguan Xinyi rubbed her eyes and slowly sat down, drinking the water in her cup in one gulp: "No, you don't have to drink anymore! Sleep!"
"Shangguan Xinyi, are you deliberately making things difficult for this king? Are you trying to murder your husband?" Xiefeng Ming's eyes widened, and the veins on his head bulged.
"Murder you without giving you water? Xiefeng Ming, you are not allowed to drink water for the next three days. If I give you water, I'm afraid you won't live until dawn! I don't want to be a widow yet! Even if you're a widow, you have to be worthy! Sleep!" Shangguan Xinyi pushed Xiefeng Ming inside and went straight to the bed. She pulled Xiefeng Ming's blanket and closed her eyes.
"Shangguan Xinyi!" Xiefeng Ming looked at Shangguan Xinyi who was so close to him and revealed a dangerous smile. He really wanted to strangle this girl to death. To think that when he woke up, he saw her by his side and felt a trace of warmth. At this moment, it seemed that she, Shangguan Xinyi, was afraid that he would die in vain and become a widow. She was really thinking too much!
Just as Ming Xie Feng was thinking about how to strangle Shangguan Xinyi to death, Shangguan Xinyi suddenly flipped over and hugged his waist, smiling as she fell asleep.
Xiefeng Ming sighed helplessly and closed his eyes…
Shangguan Xinyi and Xiefeng Ming stayed in the straw hut for a few days. Every day, Shangguan Xinyi would make Xiefeng Ming half dead with anger, but the old man never came back.
Every time Shangguan Xinyi went out to pick herbs and look for food, she would wait until Xiefeng Ming was asleep…
Xiefeng Ming opened his eyes and looked around for a long time, but he didn't see Shangguan Xinyi. Instead, he saw an old man with white hair and a white beard sitting there."May I ask who this old man is?"
"Boy, you're awake? Hehe, this little girl has some skills. I thought you would die here!”The old man paused." Boy, I think your bones are very strange. I have a pair of double-edged scimitars for you and the girl. What do you think?" I feel that the girl who practiced such a peerless saber technique with you didn't let me down. Actually, you noticed it when you stepped into my courtyard. I remember clearly how the girl carried the saber with great difficulty. I guess you must be very loving and came to take over my mantle!”The old man held a teacup in his hand and said indifferently.
" Elder, I appreciate your kindness, but the girl you mentioned is only a concubine of mine. Although I usually dote on her a little, my love for her is a little forced. I really don't dare to take your mantle..." Hearing the old man's words, Xiefeng Ming knew that this old man had taken him and Shangguan Xinyi in, so he became respectful.
Xie Fengming's words were also from the bottom of his heart. He and Shangguan Xinyi would definitely not become a loving husband and wife. The existence of Shangguan Xinyi's identity as a member of the Shangguan family was already an extraordinary obstacle. Moreover, there was also the mystery, stupidity, heart-devouring poison, and her martial arts and medical skills. What was her purpose in getting close to him? Why did Shangguan Xinyi give herself away at this moment…Everything that had happened would definitely break their relationship as husband and wife, how could they be in love? Although Shangguan Xinyi's care for him from the time he was assassinated to the time he was injured made him feel warm and even made him believe in something that kept shaking, his original intention for Shangguan Xinyi had never changed!
"Hehe, boy, you can't lie to me! The road I walk is more than the salt you eat. Love is not in front of people, not in the mouth, not in love, not in hypocrisy, it is here!”The old man touched his heart." It needs to be experienced with your heart. Only when you are in trouble can you see your true heart. True love and affection are shared through thick and thin. I can see it!" Didn't you guys go through thick and thin together? Both of you were in danger together. You protected her, but you were injured alone. Isn't this your love for her? The little girl took care of you when you were injured and didn't leave you. Wasn't her meticulous care of you her love for you? When she came back from picking herbs for you, I told her that you wouldn't be able to live. It was the truth, but it was also a hint to her that you wouldn't be able to live. The meaning behind my words was nothing more than asking her to give up on you. However, she didn't. She even cried and begged me to let the two of you stay. This was her love for you. Love is mutual. Only this is true love.”
The old man looked at Xiefeng Ming meaningfully."It's already not easy to meet someone who is truly in love with you. Moreover, you and the girl have unique bones. How can I let you two off so easily with such martial arts materials? The obedient child listened to her grandfather and took over her grandfather's mantle. She became the world's number one chivalrous couple and resolved her grandfather's worries. Not everyone could take over her grandfather's mantle. Otherwise, wouldn't the world be filled with couples of chivalrous couples and double-edged machete experts?”The old man stroked his white beard.
Xiefeng Ming hesitated for a moment before saying,"Old man, this matter is not something that this junior can decide alone. This junior will have to ask this lowly wife before making a decision, what do you think?”The reason why he said this was because he was afraid that Shangguan Xinyi would trip him up. If he told Shangguan Xinyi, his trouble would be reduced. As for what the old man said just now, he could not refute it, but he could not believe it either. He would not think about it for the time being. Love and whatnot would never happen between him and Shangguan Xinyi.
"Boy, I didn't misjudge you! Haha! Don't worry, I'll take the girl. This is for you!”The old man laughed happily as he took out a book and threw it to Xiefeng Ming."This is the saber manual. You go first. In two days, I'll teach you my inner force technique. I'll go teach that girl first!”The old man seemed to be very happy. After saying this, he strode out.
Xiefeng Ming held the saber manual and was deeply attracted by its contents. He was unable to extricate himself from it, and he did not notice it even when the sky turned dark.
"Drink the medicine. Your injuries are almost healed. Let's leave tomorrow. These are the clothes I went out to find today. Although they are hemp clothes, they are still a little better than your clothes that are covered in blood and holes.”Shangguan Xinyi had appeared in front of Xiefeng Ming, holding a bowl of medicine in her hand.
Xiefeng Ming raised his head and looked at Shangguan Xinyi. He didn't know when Shangguan Xinyi had changed into a linen robe, but the headdress on her head was nowhere to be seen. Instead, it was replaced by a wooden hairpin that simply tied her long hair up behind her head. Such simple clothes vividly displayed Shangguan Xinyi's beauty, and her lively eyes were even more attractive.
"Didn't that old man ask us to inherit his mantle?" Why are you leaving tomorrow?"
"Husband, your wife is not to be trifled with. Don't underestimate me! I've already convinced grandpa to go with us. Hubby, you won't forget what's most important, right? Even if I didn't say anything, you would still think of a way to leave this place. If you were to anger the old man, none of us would be able to leave this place! This old man is definitely not an ordinary person. Hurry up and drink the medicine. I'll help you unblock your meridians and then rest early!”Shangguan Xinyi snatched the bowl of medicine from Xiefeng Ming's hand and placed it in her bosom. She placed the bowl of medicine in his hand and sat down beside him.
Xiefeng Ming took the bowl of medicine and drank it in one gulp."Haha! Shangguan Xinyi, you're really exceeding this king's expectations more and more! Such a smart woman had pretended to be crazy for so many years. How scheming was she? What is your purpose? Why don't you tell me?"
"If you were me, you wouldn't think that I'm scheming. At this moment, I still think that you were cuter before you woke up.”Shangguan Xinyi stretched out her hand and held Xiefeng Ming's hand, slowly transferring her inner energy to him.
Xiefeng Ming slowly closed his eyes and didn't speak. He continued to regulate the energy in his body and unblock his meridians…
next morning
Shangguan Xinyi happily held the old man's arm and walked in front of them, coaxing the old man to smile, while Xiefeng Ming followed beside them.
At first, when Xiefeng Ming stood in front of Shangguan Xinyi, dressed in hemp clothes, Shangguan Xinyi had sized him up for a long time. She secretly sighed at the injustice of the heavens to make him so perfect. Even the tattered hemp clothes could not hide the noble elegance that emanated from his bones!
At this moment, they were walking on a deserted winding path. Before they set off, at Shangguan Xinyi's strong request, Xiefeng Ming had been transformed by her using a disguise technique. Now, Xiefeng Ming looked like a pale-faced scholar, and she herself was also a foxy woman. When Xiefeng Ming asked her why she had made herself look like this, she replied that this was the only way to make her look more different from her original self.
