Jiangshan Fengwuzhi

Chapter 270 Forgot
"what's wrong with you?"

Miao Chunniang murmured to herself, and subconsciously took a step back.

She felt that Pei Nian was like a completely different person, her temperament had changed, and she had become someone she seemed to have seen before.

Pei Nian did not answer her, but smiled slightly, a sweet and gentle smile.

"is it you?"

Miao Chunniang asked again, and then she added a sentence.

"Is that you, Li Shuangyun?"

"it's me."

Pei Nian replied, her voice still the same, but her tone was no longer cold, but very gentle.

Miao Chunniang stared into Pei Nian's eyes, trying to enter her memory again, but failed. She only felt a burning sensation in her eyes, as if she had been burned by Pei Nian's alluring gaze.

Even more absurdly, because of this eye contact, she actually felt like she had fallen for Pei Nian.

So Miao Chunniang quickly turned her head away, avoiding that gaze.

"Is this the life-saving charm you gave Pei Nian?"

"Yes."

"You drank her blood, and then what? You injected your essence into her body, and when she sensed danger, you would appear, right?"

Pei Nian answered gently and patiently, "To be more precise, I will appear when she is about to lose consciousness. Last time, she was almost killed by Yin Yucheng. This time, you are the one who deprived her of her consciousness."

Miao Chunniang asked, "Who exactly are you? What do you want?"

Suddenly, Pei Nian thrust out his sword.

The sword strike was incredibly fast. Knowing she couldn't dodge it, Miao Chunniang closed her eyes in despair.

A flash of cold light, and the sword grazed past Miao Chunniang's neck.

"Stop it, all of you," Pei Nian said. "Otherwise, I'll kill her."

Even when she gave such a command, her tone was still so gentle.

At this moment, those who had been thrown back by the blast had gotten up from the ground.

Pei Niansui said to Miao Chunniang, "Tell them not to move. I have no ill intentions towards you and do not want to kill anyone unless you force me."

"it is good."

Miao Chunniang said, "Don't move! I have something to say to Miss Pei."

Old Hei and the others were about to surround them, but stopped when they heard this.

Pei Nian stepped forward, gently pinched Miao Chunniang's chin, and said, "You are so beautiful, just like me."

"I'm not as good as you."

Miao Chunniang felt Pei Nian's gaze constantly observing her neck, as if afraid that she would suddenly bite her, which made her very uncomfortable.

“I already know what has happened recently,” Pei Nian said softly. “I do not support Pei Nian’s desire to return to Rui. On this point, I share your opinion.”

"what do you want?"

“I naturally want Pei Nian to stay by Gu Jingnian’s side. That way, as long as I take over her, I can get information. As you know, I have joined the Kaiping Division, so I need to gather a lot of information.”

As he spoke, Pei Nian's fingers stroked Miao Chunniang's snow-white neck.

Miao Chunniang forced herself to remain calm and said, "But I already know your secret. What use is it for you to let Pei Nian stay?"

"So what? Gu Jingnian can't possibly kill Pei Nian, can he? He's here."

Pei Nian looked up at the sky and saw Gu Jingnian streak across the sky like a shooting star, getting closer and closer.

She leaned close to Miao Chunniang's ear and said, "Just watch, see if he believes you or Pei Nian."

The gentle breath rustled the stray hairs by Miao Chunniang's ear, making it tickle and sending a shiver through her.

"I really want to take a bite," Pei Nian exclaimed.

Miao Chunniang was so frightened that she closed her eyes.

However, Pei Nian touched her face and gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid. I'm not really in front of you, and I can't suck your blood. Just wait, one day we will meet face to face."

Miao Chunniang felt heat coming from above, opened her eyes, and saw that Gu Jingnian had already descended to her side with fire wings.

The coquettish look in Pei Nian's eyes had faded, and her body went limp as she fainted.

She did not fall to the ground.

Gu Jingnian quickly put his arm around her.

"Eleventh Lang..."

Miao Chunniang couldn't wait to speak.

But she hadn't actually figured out how to tell Gu Jingnian what had happened.

"Don't run!"

Old Hei's shouts came from the other side of the woods, for Yin Shu had been running on the wind for a long time.

"Sister-in-law," Gu Jingnian whispered, "go with them to capture Yin Shu, erase her memory, and then release her so she can live a peaceful life."

Miao Chunniang was taken aback and said, "This..."

"This is Yin Wanqing's idea, and Yin Jinggeng has agreed." "Good."

Miao Chunniang agreed, and wanted to say something more, but Gu Jingnian had already carried Pei Nian into the air, leaving only one sentence behind.

"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law."

Miao Chunniang looked up as Gu Jingnian's figure disappeared into the distance, but what came to mind were the memories of Pei Nian and Gu Jingnian's time together.

Previously, she thought that having physical intimacy with Gu Jingnian meant they were very close, but today she discovered that Pei Nian's seemingly superficial interactions with Gu Jingnian actually deepened their affection.

Ultimately, Gu Jingnian values ​​relationships more than fleeting pleasure, which is why Pei Nian holds a more important place in his heart.

Miao Chunniang then realized that she still had a long way to go.

After a long while, Luo Xia finally brought over Yin Shu, who was bound hand and foot.

"The young master instructed that the person be handed over to you."

“That’s good,” Miao Chunniang said. “Let me ask her a few questions alone.”

"it is good."

After Luo Xia left, Miao Chunniang looked into Yin Shu's eyes and began to ask questions.

This process lasted a long time.

Gradually, Yin Shu's gaze changed. Although she was still looking directly into Miao Chunniang's eyes, the hatred in her eyes dissipated, and her gaze became pure.

Finally, Miao Chunniang asked, "Do you know Gu Jingnian?"

"Who is he?" Yin Shu asked.

“Someone who has nothing to do with you,” Miao Chunniang said. “Go, find a place, and live a peaceful life.”

Yin Shu turned and left, quickly disappearing into the mountains and forests.

Miao Chunniang sighed softly, preparing to go back, but when she turned her head, she saw Zhao Er standing not far away.

"Junior brother, what are you doing here?"

"My master has made new progress in alchemy and sent me to see Marquis Chengye. Where is he?"

"I've already gone back."

Zhao Er said, "Then let's go back together."

"it is good."

"Senior sister, did you just see Li Shuangyun?"

"Yes."

"Forget it."

"it is good."

"Senior sister, do you know Li Shuangyun?"

"Who is that?" Miao Chunniang asked in return.

She had been staring blankly at Zhao Er for some time now.

“An insignificant person,” Zhao Er said. “We didn’t even have this conversation.”

With that, he casually waved his hand, and Miao Chunniang's beautiful eyes immediately regained their luster.

--------

Zhuojing.

Kaiping Division.

Moonlight streamed in through the window. In the spacious hall, there was only a soft couch, on which several fluffy tails swayed lazily.

A slender figure sat up from the soft couch, her feet stepping onto the cool bluestone. Li Shuangyun didn't wear shoes and walked out of the hall barefoot.

She skimmed over the courtyard wall, looked around, and saw that a government office was still lit up. She pushed the door open and went straight in.

Song Jian, the commander of Kaiping Division, was sitting there. On the table in front of him was a huge piece of jade. He placed his hand on the jade, closed his eyes, and felt the fluctuations within the jade with his palm.

Upon seeing Li Shuangyun enter, Song Jian said calmly, "Rui Kingdom is different from Yan Kingdom. It does not allow outsiders to swagger around. You should be careful when you travel."

"There are so many rules." Li Shuangyun's tone was still gentle, but with a hint of dissatisfaction. "I came here to be your official, not to be bound by them."

"Okay, any news?"

“Gu Jingnian has sided with the Jieren,” Li Shuangyun said. “That man calls himself ‘God Venerable’.”

She recounted the intelligence she had gathered that day and, noticing that Song Jian showed no surprise, asked, "Did the Commander receive any prior information?"

“Shen Jichi is back,” Song Jian said. “What he said corroborates your intelligence, and there is nothing wrong with it.”

"You didn't expect this, did you? Sending Gu Jingnian to Yong Kingdom has made him so strong. He'll probably be back in Rui Kingdom soon to cause us trouble..."

Before Li Shuangyun could finish speaking, Song Jian suddenly interrupted her and said something.

"There's nothing we can do about it."

"If we had killed him long ago, we wouldn't have come to this." Li Shuangyun said the cruelest thing in a gentle tone.

Song Jian said, "Why do you think we sent Gu Jingnian westward? When His Majesty learned that the little girl was a descendant of the phoenix, he suspected that she might be able to enter the realm and asked Gu Beiming to push this matter forward. But we never expected that what the father couldn't accomplish, the son would accomplish."
