"But I ….." Ye Li said.
"Relax, my qinggong is not bad. I can still go down with you. "
"But I want to renege on my debt!" Ye Li said with a smile.
A crescent moon hung in the sky, not too far away, not too close. A cool breeze blew from the top of the mountain. The one eyed man lying on the cliff had a regretful and bitter smile on his face, "Miss Ye, isn't this method too despicable?" Ye Li leisurely sat by his side. She casually pulled off the cloth on her shoulder that was dyed red with rouge and threw it down the cliff. She indifferently shrugged and said, "You're not a gentleman, I won't feel guilty." The method was not important, the result was the most important.
"Don't move." The thin and sharp blade was pressed against the man's pulse on his neck. "I don't recommend you to act rashly before you have absolute confidence in your ability to do so. If I stab forward half an inch, even a golden immortal won't be able to save you. "
"It's a very special poison. Can I ask what kind of strange poison you used to deal with your savior?" The man helplessly gave up on the idea of using his internal energy to temporarily stop the poison. In fact, he could not use any internal energy right now.
Ye Li shook her head, "It's a secret. But the title of savior is still up for debate. Speaking of which, I've been in a very bad mood recently. "
"It's an honor to hear the number one talented woman in the capital complain." The man said with a smile. But when paired with his frightening appearance, it seemed a bit funny. Ye Li frowned and said, "Ever since Prince Ding and I were arranged to be married, it seems like all kinds of trouble have come knocking on our door. Constantly probing, spying, looking for trouble, and of course kidnapping. "
"Since it's so troublesome, why don't you elope with me? What do you think?"
Ye Li's long eyelashes gently fluttered, "I'm not interested in the play between the talented man and the beautiful woman. Moreover, I'm guessing that the play must have forgotten to tell the beautiful woman what to do with her parents, relatives, sisters, and reputation. What are we going to rely on to survive? What if you elope with another beauty? "The man looked at her in disappointment. After a while, he said," You think too much. Didn't the drama say that the gifted scholar would definitely become the top scholar in the future? She would be rich and her parents would forgive her, her relatives would envy her, and her sisters would be jealous of her. Most importantly, in the end, the gifted scholar and the beautiful woman will definitely live happily ever after, right? " Ye Li shook her head. "In the movie, it only says that this is the end of the drama. Most people imagine that they will grow old together and be in love forever, okay?"
The man thought about it carefully. There really didn't seem to be any dramas or storybooks where the couple grew old together and had many children and grandchildren.
"Very well, my lady. What will it take for you to let me go? "The man seemed to understand that it was useless to beat around the bush with Ye Li, so he asked directly.
"Tell me who wants to harm me." Ye Li didn't beat around the bush and asked straightforwardly.
"What will happen if I don't say anything?"
The cold blade gently slid across his neck and small bumps appeared on the skin on his neck. "Don't worry, I won't stab you with a knife. I will ….. directly push you down. "Ye Li looked down at the bottomless valley and smiled.
Why don't you just stab me with a knife? The man didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "No, I really can't say that."
"You can say that."
"I promised someone else. A man's words carry enormous weight. Even if you stab me to death, I won't say anything. "The man said firmly. Ye Li looked at him for a while and raised her eyebrows. "Alright. Since it's like this, then let me see what kind of face is hidden under this mask. "
"Miss Ye, how about you let me go now and I owe you a favor?" The man tried to negotiate.
"This sounds a bit familiar. However, do you think that I would trust someone whose identity I don't even know? Even if you owe me a hundred favors, I won't be able to find you. " Ye Li held the dagger in one hand and pointed it at the man's neck. Her other hand began to search that twisted and ugly face, "Miss Ye, I have twenty thousand silver taels on me. Take it and treat it as a way to get over your shock. How about we write off today's matter? "
Ye Li's hand did not stop as she lightly said, "Do you think that I'm like you, willing to risk my life for money? If we write it off this time, how would I know if there won't be a next time? "
The man was silent for a moment before saying, "I don't know if there will be a next time, but I can guarantee that I won't make things difficult for Miss Ye. How about it? " Feeling Ye Li's hand paused for a moment, the man quickly added, "I promise that I will never make things difficult for Miss Ye again. You can tell this to Mo Xiuyao. He knows who I am and knows if my words can be trusted. "The cold blade on his neck finally left a bit. Ye Li stood up," I'll trust you for now. "
"The antidote."
"No, the antidote was given to me by Qing Yu. Although you can't use your internal strength, it shouldn't be a problem if you don't use your qinggong. "Ye Li said with a faint smile.
The man clenched his teeth, but the sound of footsteps not far away made him unable to argue with Ye Li. He could only stand up and prepare to use a method he had never used before to climb down the valley. But unfortunately, he was a step too slow. A cold voice came from the other side of the path. "Han Mingyue — —"
A plain-clothed man sitting in a wheelchair slowly appeared at the end of the path. Behind him was the silent brown clothed youth who was steadily pushing the wheelchair. Even on this uneven mountain peak, he didn't seem to be struggling at all. Sitting in the wheelchair, Mo Xiuyao's face was as calm as water. He stared at the one-eyed man with a cold and deep gaze. With just a glance, the one-eyed man felt his body stiffen as if he was frozen in ice. He could only bitterly smile as he looked at the cliff less than two steps away from him.
"Li, are you alright?" Mo Xiuyao looked at Ye Li with a warm gaze. Ye Li calmly put away her dagger under his gaze. She walked in front of him and said with an apologetic smile, "Sorry, I made you worry."
Mo Xiuyao's eyes flashed and his brows furrowed. In the end, he sighed softly and said, "You're tired. Let's talk when we get back."
Ye Li also felt that the current environment wasn't suitable for talking. She nodded in agreement with Mo Xiuyao's suggestion. One of the women following behind Mo Xiuyao and A 'Jin gave a cloak to Ye Li. Ye Li faintly smiled. Even though she felt that it wasn't too cold, she still put on the cloak.
"Han Mingyue, can you tell me why you're here?" Mo Xiuyao asked as he stared sharply at the man on the cliff.
"You can recognize me even like this?" The man sighed. He reached out and searched his face for a while. Then, he pulled off a leather mask, revealing his originally handsome but dejected face. When she heard Mo Xiuyao mention the name Han Mingyue, Ye Li only raised her eyebrows. When the man took off his mask and saw his handsome face, she wasn't too surprised. This face was at least 80% similar to that Sir Feng Yue from a while ago. However, that face was easily seductive and frivolous, while this face was much more decent. The same raised eyebrows and smiling expression gave off a carefree and unrestrained feeling.
