Guan Heng woke up in dead silence.
He slowly opened his eyes. His vision was hazy. Everything was silent except for the sound of the wind passing through the hall. Last night's rain had accumulated in the corners of the walls and eaves. It kept dripping, disturbing him.
Guan Heng blinked and gradually saw the withered beams in front of him.
The roof was stained black by the stains. The cold wind blew in through the window and whistled in the room, stirring up the cold in his body. The blue blood in his body was noisy and rushed recklessly in the soft parts of his body.
The teenager's fingers trembled slightly.
"Hiss!"
A sharp pain suddenly came and climbed up from his fingertips to his meridians. It quickly spread throughout his body like a raging tide. Guan Heng's vision suddenly turned black.
His lips trembled. He endured the knife-like pain and slowly propped himself up.
"Don't move. Do you want to die?"
A clear voice suddenly exploded in his mind.
Guan Heng was shocked and his pupils trembled.
His fingers, which were propped up on the bed, trembled. He almost fell back onto the bed.
The teenager hurriedly propped himself up. For a moment, his whole body was affected. There was another string of tearing pain and a metallic taste in his throat.
However, Guan Heng took a deep breath and swallowed the blood back into his stomach. He pursed his lips and a vigilant look flashed in his eyes. He struggled to turn his neck and look around the room.
"Don't look for me. I'm here. I'm in your hand."
Guan Heng lowered his head and caught a glimpse of a green jade bracelet on his wrist.
It was the most ordinary material, but at this moment, its surface was flowing with fluorescent light. The translucent green jade seemed to have a life of its own. Smoke rose in spirals from it, making it look like a celestial item.
Xie Ziyou divided half of his attention and stuck it to his bracelet.
In the end, he accepted the "side mission" of playing the role of a cheat because the System said that completing the mission would reward him with 500 points. After all, points were hard currency. The more the better.
This was the first time Xie Ziyou played two roles in the same world. He curiously looked through the jade bracelet at the dilapidated house where the protagonist was staying. He then excitedly shuttled back to his original body in the carriage. He felt like he had an extra body. It was really interesting.
Just as they were having fun, the main character woke up.
Xie Ziyou hurriedly put on the airs of a reclusive expert and recalled the thousands of novels he had read. He coughed lightly and said, "I was originally an immortal in the Heavenly Realm. My realm was reduced by an enemy and my body was destroyed. I can only attach myself to this small bracelet. Kid, the Xuan Li in your body awakened me, and I am indebted to you. Today, I will bestow upon you a great fortune. "
"I have a transcendent-grade cultivation method called 'Devour the Heavens'. The cultivated Xuan Li doesn't have any attributes, but it can devour other people's Xuan Li and turn it into your own. What do you think? "
The direction of the Goldfinger's assistance was also decided after careful selection by Xie Ziyou.
Devour, that was super awesome, wasn't it? Seven out of ten protagonists knew how to devour. It wasn't outdated, it wasn't degrading.
Furthermore, Xie Ziyou positioned his Goldfinger as a knowledgeable person. It was proficient in cultivation, alchemy, and identifying Xuan Beasts. In short, it knew everything except fighting.
This way, not only could it satisfy all of the main character's needs, but it also made him seem harmless and easy to let down his guard.
Xie Ziyou was full of confidence. He sat cross-legged in the bracelet and began to imagine how his points would flow in like water.
On the other side, Guan Heng only frowned slightly and didn't say a word.
Xuan Li in the world had many attributes. The normal ones were metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The more special ones were wind, thunder, ice, and darkness. Different attributes had different characteristics, such as controlling the weather and controlling plants.
Guan Heng had only heard of Xuan Li that didn't have any attributes in myths and legends. It was the chaotic force that separated heaven and earth and contained all things.
Guan Heng thought silently. If this guy who called himself an immortal was telling the truth, then it was really a great opportunity.
But he only remained silent.
The youth's eyes were gloomy. His deep gaze focused on a window by the wall. The window paper had long been damaged and swayed with the cold wind.
But there was still half a ray of sunlight coming in through the gap, casting mottled white dots on the ground and adding a hint of light to the dark and damp room.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Xie Ziyou was a little anxious and urged, "Stop looking. What's there to look at in a broken room? My technique can also help you absorb the cold force in your body. The woman who hurt you is very vicious. This cold force is eating away at your vitality. If there is no other way, you will definitely die tonight! "
Hearing this, Guan Heng finally reacted.
The youth frowned slightly and shook his head in denial. "Don't talk nonsense. She is not vicious. Everything that happened today has a reason. I understand her."
Xie Ziyou was stunned.
Damn, the main character still didn't hate her. Did all his hard work go to waste?
Understand her? Do you understand me?
Does the villain need your understanding? No, the villain only wants your points!
"She wants your life!" Xie Ziyou wanted to choke the main character and shake him awake. "If this isn't vicious, then what is? Do you want her to kill your whole family? "
Guan Heng ignored him.
The youth struggled to move his body. After a long time, his feet finally touched the ground.
However, just as he stood up, his body suddenly swayed a few times. His chest tightened, and he spat out a large mouthful of dark red blood.
The bright red blood contrasted sharply with the grayish-white brick floor. It slowly extended along the potholes and seeped into the dark brown mud between the cracks.
Xie Ziyou suddenly panicked.
He stood up in the bracelet and patted the edge of the jade with his palm. "Hey, how are you? Are you okay? "
Nothing must happen to the main character!
As the villain, if he caused the main character to be seriously injured or die, breaking the rules of the world, he would have a lot of points deducted. Now that Xie Ziyou had taken on the Golden Finger side quest, if the Golden Finger couldn't protect the main character and allowed him to die, he would have a lot of points deducted. Running two quests at the same time, he earned a lot, but also had a lot of points deducted.
"Quick, I've already transferred the skill to your mind. Hurry up and practice —"
Guan Heng wiped the corner of his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "No need."
Bright red blood dripped from the corner of the youth's mouth and fell on his firm, wheat-colored skin.
He held the edge of the bed for a while, then grabbed a brown cloth from the side and put it on with difficulty. Then, he slowly dragged his feet and walked out of the door.
Xie Ziyou in the jade bracelet wanted to cry but had no tears. "I'm saving your life …"
Guan Heng chuckled and said in a low voice, "Saving my life? Forget it, I don't trust you. "
"You don't even hate the woman who hurt you. Why don't you trust me?"
"Nonsense."
Guan Heng leaned against the wall and walked out of the room step by step.
The blazing noon sun shone down, making the abandoned courtyard full of weeds look full of vitality.
"On one side is my beautiful and straightforward fiancée, and on the other side is an unknown species who lurks around and is full of tricks. Of course I know who to choose — I'm not stupid."
"… Please get rid of the water in your head. How am I scheming?"
Guan Heng's eyes flashed. "If you really just woke up, how did you know that the person who hurt me was a woman?"
Xie Ziyou: "…"
He was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say. He clenched his fists and his beautiful amber eyes were full of dullness. He couldn't help but curse Guan Heng in his heart.
This script was different from what they had agreed on!
Shouldn't the Long Ao Tian main character be overjoyed and beg to be apprenticed?
Isn't this trashy main character too meticulous? He's obviously someone who wants to do great things, so can he not be stuck on these details?
While Xie Ziyou was speechless, Guan Heng had already slowly moved out of the room.
Dense beads of sweat appeared on the youth's smooth forehead. He bit his lower lip, but his steps were firm. The sharp blades of grass scraped against his strong calves, leaving fine red lines.
His limbs felt like they were covered in ice and snow, so heavy that he couldn't lift them up. His chest also felt like it was being scraped by sharp blades. The sharp spikes of ice were mercilessly rampaging through his body.
Every step he took felt like he was stepping on the tip of a knife.
Guan Heng had to stop and rest for a long time with every step he took.
He gasped for breath, and the dust in the abandoned courtyard floated unscrupulously. The corners of the youth's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of gray, and he looked extremely haggard.
Xie Ziyou's heart trembled when he saw this.
He was thinking hard, trying to find a reason to break the main character's guard, when suddenly there was a cry of surprise from the entrance of the courtyard. The person's voice was delicate and sweet, like an oriole.
"Young Master, why did you come out?"
A graceful figure appeared at the entrance of the courtyard.
It was a girl with delicate eyebrows and pretty eyes. She wore a light pink dress and was delicate and charming, making people think of the winter jasmine that quietly bloomed at the beginning of spring when the ice and snow melted.
Although she was dressed as a servant, the material of this "winter jasmine" was very soft and smooth. Under the sunlight, it reflected a wave-like halo. It was obviously made of high-quality silk.
Kwan Hyung-shang was wearing the brown undershirt he had worn in the morning. It was inconvenient for him to move around, and his upper body was also very messy. The two of them stood side by side. At a glance, it looked like the girl was the master, and Guan Heng was the servant.
Xie Ziyou frowned when he saw this. He had a faint feeling that something was wrong. The other two people seemed to be used to this and didn't have any objections.
The gorgeously dressed girl quickly walked to Guan Heng's side. Her charming almond-shaped eyes were full of tears. She pulled on her sleeves and sadly said, "Young Master, they took away your courtyard. I had no choice but to temporarily move you here."
"Oh." Guan Heng looked at the girl, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes. He casually said, "It's okay. It's a bit messy here, but it's also quiet."
The girl nodded, and ripples appeared in her eyes.
Her slender, jade-like hands reached out from her sleeves. The long sleeves were folded up, revealing a deep red scar on the girl's arm.
She handed Guan Heng a food box. The box was made of mahogany, and the surface was engraved with exquisite patterns. As soon as the lid was opened, the sweet smell of fruit rushed out.
"Young Master hasn't eaten for a long time. Hong'er personally went to the kitchen to make this snack. It's Young Master's favorite crispy apple. Young Master, do you want to eat some? "
"After all, in the future … I'm afraid it'll be difficult to eat it."
The delicate maid's long eyelashes were slightly closed, and her eyes were full of pity.
Xie Ziyou narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at her beautiful eyes through those glittering pupils.
He was at a lower angle, and just happened to see Hong'er's lips curl up slightly as she lowered her head to eat. A trace of determination flashed in the depths of her light brown eyes.
This was a chance to show her loyalty!
He hurriedly reminded Guan Heng, "Be careful, there's something wrong with your maid."
Guan Heng: "… I know."
The young man sighed softly in his heart.
He had been with the girl since childhood, and they were very familiar with each other. He could roughly guess the girl's current mood just by looking at her expression.
Disdain, apprehension, a little nervousness, and full of anticipation …
Facing the girl's complicated gaze, Guan Heng took the food box and picked up a piece of crispy apple. However, he didn't immediately put it into his mouth. He only flipped it repeatedly under the sunlight and carefully looked at it.
Hong'er's eyes flickered. "Young Master, quickly eat."
"No hurry, no hurry," Guan Heng said, "Let me enjoy it. After all, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it in the future … Father threw me to this remote courtyard. Does he want me to fend for myself?"
Hong'er's eyes immediately turned red.
Tears rolled back and forth in her charming almond-shaped eyes. The girl said softly, "Young Master, Master was confused for a moment … Hong'er believes in you. You will definitely get better!"
"It's not a question of whether or not I can get better … Forget it."
Guan Heng shook his head and sighed.
He looked at the delicate maid in front of him. His eyes were clear and sorrowful. For a moment, Hong'er's heart trembled.
She had just become suspicious and wondered if the Young Master had discovered something. However, in the next second, Guan Heng's eyes returned to stillness. They were bright and quiet as usual.
Guan Heng asked Xie Ziyou in his heart, "Can your martial arts detoxify?"
Xie Ziyou immediately said, "It depends on what kind of poison it is and what kind of realm it is. However, this kind of small poison can definitely be detoxified. Devouring the Sky … It can even swallow the sky. This small poison is nothing to it. "
Guan Heng nodded.
He quietly circulated his martial arts.
A pain sharper than before suddenly swept through his body. It was as if tens of thousands of sharp knives had pierced his body, crushing every end of his meridians and blood. This force had indeed shattered the condensed ice force in his body, but at the same time, it had crushed all the acupoints in his body with an even stronger force. It was unstoppable!
The young man's face suddenly turned pale.
It was as if thousands of tiny blades were moving in his body, mercilessly cutting his blocked meridians. The pain was so intense that it felt like he was being dismembered.
Xie Ziyou's heartstrings tightened. She hurriedly instructed him, "Hold on, hold on! Without destruction, there can be no construction. Quickly gather your Xuan Li in your dantian and condense your Elixir … Yes, inhale, exhale … "
Guan Heng suddenly said in his heart, "Hong'er entered my Guan Jia when she was three years old. In name, she is my maid, but I have always treated her as my younger sister."
Xie Ziyou was very anxious, "Concentrate on circulating your martial arts! If we are unlucky, we will both be finished. Your maid has nothing to do with me. Look at her, she is a traitor. "
Guan Heng said, "You don't have to reply. I am just lamenting."
"Ah, actually, I can understand. After all, not everyone can be like my fiancée. She is not hypocritical, has a true temperament, and can treat people she hates with sincerity …"
The young man's tone was sincere and sincere. His words were full of praise. Xie Ziyou almost vomited blood when she heard this.
He had meticulously broken off the engagement and slapped her in the face. How did it become true love?
Before she could refute, she heard Guan Heng casually say, "Hong'er, where is the Bottleneck-breaking Pill that my wife gave me?"
Xie Ziyou's face was wooden as she thought to herself, 'How shameless.'
His fiancée, his fiancée, in the blink of an eye, only his wife was left. Sure enough, at that time, the Mysterious Ice Palm was too light. It should have paralyzed him.
Hong'er heard this and her delicate body trembled. She hurriedly lowered her head.
She lifted a strand of her long hair and tucked it behind her ear. Her fingertips trembled, and a large blush appeared on her Fair Complexion.
The young girl was so nervous that her voice changed. She stammered, "Young Master, that pill … was taken away by Master. They, they think that if Young Master used this pill, it would not necessarily be better. On the contrary, it would be a waste. It would be better to create a new cultivation powerhouse for the family … "
Guan Heng listened silently and did not say a word.
A strong wind suddenly blew, blowing the young man's sweat-drenched hair. Something slowly sank into his dark and bright eyes, drowning into his pupils that were as deep as the ocean. Not a single drop of water splashed.
The young man's voice was very soft, but every word he said was very heavy. He said word by word, "Is this the idea of father, the elders, or … you?"
Hong'er suddenly raised her head!
The ripples in her almond-shaped eyes dissipated, and a naked shock and panic appeared.
A faint red light blossomed from the bottom of her eyes and flowed along her smooth forearm into the hollow of her palm, condensing into a small ball of profound energy. At first glance, it was as if a small flower bud was pinched in the hollow of her palm.
A cool breeze rippled. The red flower bud was half open and half closed. Her vigilance was clearly visible.
"Oh." Guan Heng had an expression that said, "As expected."
He raised his eyebrows slightly and chuckled. "A very beautiful Xuan Li. It looks like it was your idea."
Hong'er's blush spread from the corners of her eyes. It was like a Dao pattern that bloomed on the side of her face like beautiful vines.
The young girl gently bit her red lips.
She was silent for a long time. She slowly nodded. "Yes, it was my idea. I also … did it to fulfill Young Master's painstaking efforts. "
"Our Guan Jia has climbed up the social ladder to achieve our current prosperity. In the past few years, we have also offended many jealous people."
"Now, Miss Xie has let bygones be bygones and still treats our Guan Jia as her in-laws. However, the premise is that Young Master must be crippled and die. The engagement cannot be fulfilled in this lifetime. If this premise is violated, the current prosperity and wealth will be like a flash in the pan. In the blink of an eye … it will disappear. "
"This is the family that Young Master was willing to take Miss Xie's attack to protect. Hong'er just … doesn't want Young Master's efforts to go to waste."
As she whispered, the red light scattered from the young girl's palm and disappeared into the dense weeds in the courtyard.
The weeds immediately grew wildly. The branches and leaves bared their fangs and brandished their claws. The small barbs on the edges were as sharp as blades. A few vines snaked along the ground and quietly climbed up to Guan Heng's ankle. The sharp thorns pierced into his tight muscles. Blood instantly gushed out!
Smelling the stench of blood, the weeds became even more frenzied and swarmed toward Guan Heng.
Hong'er knelt down with a "plop". She faced Guan Heng and kowtowed with a crisp sound.
The brick floor was dirty and messy.
However, Xie Ziyou seemed to see the young girl's ferocious face through the reflection of the light on the ground.
There was a red mark on her forehead. Her eyes were filled with viciousness. It seemed that there was a surge of violence that had been hidden for a long time. It broke through the disguise that covered her body. Together with her Xuan Li, everything was exposed under the sunlight.
The young girl said crisply, "For the family, for the loyalty and righteousness, please … die, Young Master!"
