Jiangshan Fengwuzhi

Chapter 174 Stimulating Talent (Part )
"Back in Lanshui Village, I deceived you once, and you can be deceived by me again."

There was no longer any kindness on Zhao Boheng's face, and his eyes were filled with cunning and sinister intent.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaofang was still stunned, he continued, "I approached you in order to get rid of Gu Jingnian."

"What?" Zhang Xiaofang shook her head, "Young Master, he won't die..."

"He's dead." Zhao Boheng said, "I finally avenged Chu Danqing. You didn't know that, did you? Chu Danqing and I were from the same school. Gu Jingnian's abilities were all refined by Chu Danqing for him, but he turned his back on me and still called himself righteous. It's ridiculous."

Zhang Xiaofang was furious and frowned. She wanted to stand up and fight with Zhao Boheng, but she had no strength left and could not move at all.

"I helped the old emperor of Yong State to refine into a salamander, but Gu Jingnian ruined this plan. Sooner or later, he will deal with me. I will take the initiative to attack him."

As Zhao Boheng spoke, he leaned forward a little, put his eyes closer, and looked into Zhang Xiaofang's eyes.

However, he said another sentence leisurely.

"It's a pity that you didn't see my intention earlier. It was you who killed them!"

Zhang Xiaofang was furious, her eyes widened and her face turned red.

Hatred, anger, sadness, despair... too many emotions were revealed in her eyes.

The only thing missing is the calmness that can see into people's hearts.

After a long time, Zhao Boheng raised his hand and hit Zhang Xiaofang on the neck, knocking her unconscious again.

The smug yet sinister expression on his face faded, replaced by a hint of fatigue.

Shaking his head and sighing slightly, he walked out the door with his hands behind his back.

Zhao Er was standing there holding a tray with two pills and a bowl of herbal dew on it.

Zhao Boheng said: "Erase her memory of today and try again tomorrow."

"Yes."

Zhao Er then went in and put his hand on Zhang Xiaofang's forehead. After a while, Zhang Xiaofang actually sat up and opened her eyes, but her eyes were lifeless and it was unclear whether she was awake or not.

"Have you met Zhao Boheng today?"

"I've seen it."

"No, you didn't." Zhao Er asked, "What did you talk about?"

"..."

After a while, Zhao Er asked again: "Have you seen Zhao Boheng today?"

"No."

"Okay, go to sleep."

Zhao Er comforted Zhang Xiaofang, walked out of the house, turned around the corridor, and saw many people standing in the house next door.

Not only Zhao Boheng and Wei Li, but also Gu Jingnian, Pei Nian, Zhang Dashi and others were there.

"Master, it's done." Zhao Er said.

Zhao Boheng nodded and said, "It will take some time to stimulate the princess's talent."

Pei Nian asked: "Will this really work?"

Zhao Boheng said: "No matter what kind of supernatural power it is, it appears because of need. It is not because of the need you and I have today, but because of the different dangers faced by the ancestors of Zhongzhou and Yihai at the beginning of the construction of the world. After tens of thousands of years of accumulation, it is deeply hidden in the bones and blood of their descendants. Therefore, to stimulate it, we must give it an urgent need."

Wei Li knew that what Zhao Boheng was doing was actually replaying her state of mind back then. She was worried whether Zhang Xiaofang could bear it, but she gritted her teeth and said, "If you want to see into people's hearts, you must first die in your heart."

If you want to see into people's hearts, your own mind must be superior to that of others, which cannot be achieved without experiencing great sorrow and joy.

Therefore, what Zhang Xiaofang experienced last night was exactly what they had arranged. Everyone faked their death in front of her, which made her extremely heartbroken.

As for Gu Jingnian whose head was chopped off, Zhao Boheng found a corpse and asked Gu Jingnian to disguise it as himself.

But it seems that it is not that easy to do.

Zhao Er couldn't feel Zhang Xiaofang's pain, so he asked, "Master, is it not stimulating enough? Is she not in enough pain?"

In his opinion, compared with the hatred of losing his country and the humiliation of being captured that Wei Li had experienced, the fake deaths of a few people last night were nothing compared to him.

"No more." Zhao Boheng shook his head and said, "Right now, the princess is on the verge of danger."

In the following days, every time Zhang Xiaofang woke up, she only remembered seeing all her relatives and friends die in front of her eyes last night, and she only saw Zhao Boheng provoking her with cold words.

She had no time to think or calm down. The pain seemed to be re-experienced again and again, but the torture to her body was accumulating. Her face became more and more haggard, her eyes were dull, and her whole body appeared completely sick.

That day, when Zhao Boheng stared into her eyes and still failed to stimulate her talent, he turned and left the room.

Seeing Zhao Er standing there as usual, he ordered: "Although her memory has been cleared, her pain has reached the limit of what she can bear..."

Suddenly, there was a slight sound in the house.

Zhao Er's eyes widened and he said in horror: "Master!"

Zhao Boheng turned around and saw that Zhang Xiaofang had actually climbed down from the couch, pushed over a vase, picked up the broken porcelain and stabbed it hard into her neck.

"No!"

Zhao Boheng was startled. Without caring about anything else, he raised his hand and clenched it hard in the air.

The porcelain piece that pierced into Zhang Xiaofang's neck turned into powder in an instant, but the blood on her neck was already flowing non-stop.

Wei Li, Gu Jingnian, Pei Nian, Zhang Dashi and others rushed outside the house after hearing the noise.

"What are you doing?!"

Zhang Dashi roared and was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Gu Jingnian.

"Don't try again!" Zhang Dashi struggled twice, but couldn't get free, so he cried, "She is not your princess, she is just a country girl, please let her go and save her life!"

Gu Jingnian looked over and saw that Zhao Boheng had quickly taken out the ointment and was applying it. He hardened his heart and pulled Zhang Dashi away.

Pei Nian stood there watching from beginning to end, without moving a single muscle.

Finally, Zhang Xiaofang's lips moved twice.

"Son..."

Zhao Boheng turned around and saw Gu Jingnian just outside the house.

But he didn't dare to decide whether to let Gu Jingnian go up and meet Zhang Xiaofang, so he looked at Wei Li.

"Princess?"

Wei Li felt sorry for her daughter and looked at the blood all over the floor, she couldn't help but hesitate.

--------

Zhang Xiaofang opened her eyes again.

In my memory, the scene of seeing my relatives and friends die last night resurfaced.

In front of him was Zhao Boheng's face with a sinister expression.

She was sad and angry, and the intense pain seemed to strangle her neck, making it hard for her to breathe.

So she sat up from the couch and wanted to fight with Zhao Boheng.

"It's a pity that you didn't see my intention earlier. It was you who killed them!"

With these words, Zhang Xiaofang felt a strong sense of guilt and wished she could die immediately.

But suddenly she was stunned.

She stared into Zhao Boheng's eyes for a long time, then murmured, "Fake?"

"what?"

"you think……"

Zhang Xiaofang spoke hesitantly, and said slowly: "Do you want to stimulate my talent?"

"Princess, how do you know?"

"I...seemed to have seen it...is that what you thought?"

Zhao Boheng finally smiled.

He felt relieved and his long beard began to tremble.

"The princess finally got it!"

Zhang Xiaofang turned her head and saw that the door was pushed open and there were many people standing outside.

Those who died in her memory came back to life.

An intense feeling of happiness surged up in her, making her forget all the pain and sorrow, and she revealed a heartfelt smile.

"Just one night later, I have super powers?"

"That's because you forgot. It's been twenty days."

"But I can't tell what you're thinking."

"The princess has only stimulated her talent. She still needs to practice for many years." Zhao Boheng waved his hand and said, "Zhao Er, bring the medicine quickly."

"..."

Pei Nian stood there with a sincere smile on his face.

She was very happy to see Zhang Xiaofang's opportunities and growth.

Just a few days ago, Zhao Boheng had helped her test it and gave her an answer.

——"Congratulations, Miss Pei. Your ancestors are of pure Zhongzhou blood."

That day, Gu Jingnian, Pei Nian, Zhang Dashi and others returned to Gu's house, but did not bring Zhang Xiaofang back because she was taken to the Princess of Yue State's Mansion.

It was several days later when Gu Jingnian saw her again, outside the gate of Yuewei Academy.

"Brother."

Suddenly hearing a call, Gu Jingnian turned around and was stunned for a moment.

Standing in front of me was a pale, thin girl, well-dressed, with a beautiful bun and a clean and pretty smile.

The two chatted with each other with smiles, then walked side by side into the school and said goodbye at a gate. After the ten-day exam, Zhang Xiaofang had been assigned to Zhixing Hall.

Gu Jingnian walked towards Zhishi Hall. After walking more than ten steps, he felt a little worried about Zhang Xiaofang going to Zhixing Hall alone, so he turned around and walked over there.

When she reached the gate, she saw a female disciple inside greeting Zhang Xiaofang.

"Are you a new disciple?"

"Yes, I was assigned to this place from Zhishitang after the ten-day exam."

"Oh, what's your name?"

"Wei Yu Shi."

Wei Yushi reported her name calmly, smiled and nodded at her classmates, found a seat and sat down. She behaved calmly, and no longer had the restrained look of the country girl she used to have.
