Tang Xuexue once warned me that Chou Xuanji may appear upright and righteous on the surface, but in reality, she is cunning and deceitful.
Now it seems her words were not unfounded. Clearly, she was able to silently track me for over a dozen roads, yet she deliberately pretended to be completely devoid of martial arts skills, innocent, kind, and non-threatening in order to gain the sympathy of those unaware.
Even more infuriating is his unparalleled lightness skill, yet he has the audacity to feign exhaustion halfway through.
"Sir Mr., I beg of you, can you please help me? You are the renowned Mr., don't bother with a mere woman like me! I will find a way to clear your name, can I?"
I saw Chou Xuanji leaning against the tree trunk, with an expression that brooked no argument.
I held onto the tree trunk tightly, continuing to cry and plead, "Oh, Mr.! You can't possibly understand the hardships and difficulties faced by us common folks! I must hurry home to collect my monthly salary. Without this pay, I will go hungry!"
At this moment, Chou Xuanji, this Mr., finally deigned to look at me directly. His gaze seemed to say, "Really? You ordinary folks still face the dilemma of having no food to eat?" It was truly a gaze filled with a sense of foolishness.
Meanwhile, I returned his gaze with utmost sincerity.
"Do you want to go to monthly salary?"
"Otherwise, will you have nothing to eat?"
"Mmm!"
"What does that have to do with me?"
Where are all these principled people in the world coming from? Step forward, I promise not to kill you.
My legs went weak, and I almost knelt down: "Because Mr. you dragged me along!"
Chou Xuanji squatted down, staring at me seriously, her slender index finger pointing forward: "exquisite, ahead is a toxic forest filled with miasma. Are you sure you want to go?"
"Not going means no monthly salary..." I held my head in sorrow. If I hadn't wasted time with the junior sister of the Five Poison Sect, the silver would already be in my arms at this moment.
"So you would resort to any means to hurry along the way. If it weren't for me holding you back, would you still have ventured into the dangerous toxic forest?"
I lowered my head and twisted my fingers, looking nonchalant. "It's actually not a big deal."
You know, in order to gather useful intelligence, I have endured all kinds of hardships. Things like climbing steep and treacherous cliffs, or clinging to sheer and smooth rock faces, are a piece of cake for me.
Once, I even went without food or water for three days in the desolate wilderness, and when I was discovered, I had to run for my life to escape pursuit.
"You—"
Looking at the surprised expression on his face, I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction in my heart. Thinking back to the past, I, Miss, have experienced countless hardships and challenges. How could I be scared by a mere toxic forest?
However, since this Mr. is so concerned about my safety, why not let him accompany me on the journey? After all, he is skilled in martial arts and can surely protect me.
Thinking of this, I raise my head and smile at Chou Xuanji: " Mr., you're not afraid, are you?"
Chou Xuanji Her brows furrowed slightly, seemingly a bit dissatisfied, but she still spoke up: "I'm not afraid at all! I just feel that this journey is too dangerous."
"Don't worry, as long as I have you by my side, I will be safe and sound." With that, I tightly held his hand and resolutely headed towards the direction of the toxic forest.
Chou Xuanji sighed helplessly and had no choice but to follow behind me.
Along the way, I talked non-stop, telling him some interesting and amusing stories, trying to ease his tense nerves and his nervousness as if facing a great enemy.
However, he was as cautious as a startled bird, always maintaining a high level of vigilance, carefully observing every movement of the wind and every blade of grass around him, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
The heavens do not disappoint those with determination. After a long journey, we finally arrived at the edge of the toxic forest.
But here, the miasma is pervasive, covering the sky and blocking the sun; the grass and trees wither, presenting a scene of decay that looks extremely eerie and terrifying, making one's hair stand on end.
Chou Xuanji couldn't help feeling timid, she looked back at me with a deep concern in her eyes, "Do we really have to go in? It might be dangerous inside! Shouldn't we just turn back..."
I nodded without hesitation, then stepped into the toxic forest without any hesitation or looking back.
However, shortly after entering, I clearly felt a strong toxicity rushing towards me like a landslide.
In the nick of time, Chou Xuanji acted swiftly and decisively, using all her skills and profound inner strength to instantly disperse the oncoming poisonous gas. However, the good fortune was short-lived, as the toxicity grew stronger as we ventured deeper into the toxic forest.
Chou Xuanji's face began to turn as pale as paper, with beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.
I watched with anxiety, feeling helpless, and could only silently pray in my heart, hoping that he would be safe and sound...
" Mr., how are you?" I asked with concern when I saw him like this.
"I'm fine," Chou Xuanji gritted his teeth and continued to walk forward with a slight stagger.
Looking at his resolute and tenacious figure, I couldn't help but feel moved. This guy, although he's a bit tough on the outside, has a pretty kind heart after all!
Chou Xuanji turned back to look at my expression, was silent for a moment, and then finally chose to give me a disdainful look: "Is there any way that can make you not miss your monthly salary, but also not have to rush like this?"
There is... there is, but my first priority right now is to ask for your help!
"You definitely have a way, you just really want to get rid of me." Chou Xuanji broke off a tree branch and looked at me calmly.
I was stunned, how did he know what I was thinking.
At night when camping, I silently slipped a note to Ah Bai to deliver back to the Thousand Threads Pavilion. I'm sure the Pavilion Master would be surprised to see it. Someone like me, what kind of trouble have I gotten into to miss the day of receiving my monthly salary.
I deeply understand a truth: I cannot live in peace until I have resolved the matter of Chou Xuanji. Mr. s are not scary; what's scary is a Mr. without honor.
Tears flow into two long rivers in my heart.
The next morning, when Chou Xuanji had just woken up, I was already packed and ready to go.
He stared at my face in surprise and raised an eyebrow, saying, "exquisite, why such a strong murderous intent early in the morning? Where are you off to?"
"I'm going to the Qinhuai River to meet your lover."
