After conquering seven male favorites, the vicious heroine wants to run away

Chapter 209: Extremely Conscientious
Shi Nuanyu shook her head and voiced her doubts.

"What is your relationship with Duan Jiuyun?"

Seeing them together at the post station made her suspicious.

Hua Si'an asked in surprise, "Did you think the princess wouldn't ask?"

She had been waiting for the past few days, thinking that she didn't care.

Shi Nuanyu smiled, knowing she couldn't very well say she'd forgotten about it and had only just remembered.

Hua Si'an didn't hide anything and recounted the story in detail.

"I met him on the way to Kyoto. By chance, I found out that he was going to Kyoto to assassinate the princess, so I pretended to get close to him. He pretended to be a chivalrous person, but in fact, he was blacker than anyone else."

Later, realizing his assassination attempt on the princess had failed, he devised a plan to win her heart, making her fall in love with him and suffer heartbreak for him.

At this point, a hint of sarcasm flickered in her eyes, "He could have looked up to me if he had just assassinated me, but he resorted to such despicable means."

"I see," Shi Nuanyu suddenly realized. No wonder he wanted to stay at the princess's residence; her every move was seductive.

He pretended to be aloof and cold at the Martial Alliance, but when he arrived at the Princess's residence, he acted as gentle and refined.

It seems they found out her preferences and modeled the crane after Qinghe to make her feel sorry for him.

Do you know whose people he works for?

Hua Si'an shook her head, "I don't know, I only know that he is from the Valley of Divine Healers."

When they first met, he told her many of Princess Nanyue's atrocities, every word of which was meant to recruit her. If she hadn't been bored on the journey, she wouldn't have paid any attention.

The clue is broken again.

Shi Nuanyu asked no more questions, her gaze fixed on the direction of Tianlang Village.

Yu Changfeng told them to wait for the signal, but so much time has passed, and he doesn't know if they've succeeded yet.

Half an incense stick later, wails came from the village, and a group of people could be seen running towards them from the other side of the bridge.

A look of joy flashed across Shi Nuanyu's eyes as she raised her hand to signal the archers to prepare.

As they approached the bridgehead, they waved and shouted, "Release the arrows!"

Sharp arrows pierced the sky and forced them back to the other side of the bridge.

"There is an ambush..."

Shouts rang out, and the group of people retreated noisily.

"Chief, we're doomed."

The bandits were terrified; they were attacked from both sides and had no way out.

The chieftain was shot in the thigh with an arrow, and he grimaced as he pulled it out.

"Shut up, I won't die."

He glared fiercely at Duan Jiuyun beside him and demanded, "Mr. Duan, where are Dongchen's reinforcements?"

Duan Jiuyun cursed inwardly, but dared not show it on his face, and tried to appease her.

"Great Chieftain, don't worry, the Second Prince will handle it..."

"Don't rush, don't rush," the chieftain roared, "Most of the people in the village have died or been injured, and you still tell me to wait?"

"Duan Jiuyun, you are deceiving us."

If he hadn't believed his lies, he wouldn't be in this miserable state today.

Duan Jiuyun was extremely anxious and did not want to argue with such a brute.

The Second Prince promised to send people over, could something have happened?
Seeing that he did not answer, the chieftain became furious and raised his broadsword, pointing it at him.

"Duan Jiuyun, today the village is destroyed, even if I die, I will take you down with me."

Duan Jiuyun's expression was cold as he easily dodged his attacks.

"Reckless man."

The big man's voice was loud enough for them to hear the three words 'Duan Jiuyun' clearly.

Which second prince is it?

Is it...

After figuring things out, Shi Nuanyu appeared before everyone with a smile, while the people behind her raised their longbows in a fighting stance.

"Duan Jiuyun, why aren't you staying at the Princess's residence? Why are you hanging out with bandits?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Duan Jiuyun's expression changed, and he then gave a perfunctory bow. "Greetings, Princess."

"After not seeing her for many days, the princess has become even more beautiful and captivating."

He miscalculated; it was Princess Nanyue who attacked Tianlang Village.

Shi Nuanyu took the bow and arrow off her back and aimed it at him, "I don't deserve your greeting of peace. Let me guess whose people you are."

Before he could speak, the arrow flew from his hand and struck him. Duan Jiuyun reacted quickly, pulling a bandit to shield him, but the arrow landed just at his feet.

The bandit fell to the ground in terror.

"Oops, my hand slipped."

Shi Nuanyu shook her head regretfully, "You gave up being a good gardener in the Princess's residence to become the lackey of the Second Prince of Dongchen. Duan Jiuyun, you really are a good dog."

They called him a dog that wags its tail!

Duan Jiuyun's expression was grim. "Since the princess knows who I am, how can she not guess why I am getting close to you?"

He should have killed her long ago; why let her be so arrogant?

Shi Nuanyu loved seeing others dislike her but couldn't do anything about it. She drew her bow and shot an arrow, which grazed past him.

"We've gone off-topic again. The old story of the Divine Healer Valley tragedy... I'm very curious, was Dong Chen involved in the destruction of Divine Healer Valley?"
Why are you staring at me so intently? Do you think I'm easy to bully because I'm a woman?

Speaking of the past, Duan Jiuyun was filled with rage. "If it weren't for Nan Yue's instigation, how could the Divine Doctor Valley have been destroyed? Nan Yue is the culprit, and I will not let Dong Chen off the hook either. Your royal family all deserve to die."

Shi Nuanyu retorted, "The royal family deserves to die, but the Divine Physician Valley is no less deserving. The Divine Physician Valley uses children's hearts to refine elixirs..."
"How many innocent children have been killed? Don't you ever consider how many wronged souls have been shed in the Valley of Divine Healers?"

It is said that doctors are duty-bound to save lives, but when their hearts are crooked, it becomes ironic.

"Impossible, don't try to smear me."

A hint of panic appeared in Duan Jiuyun's eyes. "The Divine Doctor Valley is upright and honorable. It was the royal family who coveted the Divine Doctor Valley's elixir of immortality and secretly harmed it."

Before his master died, he asked him to take revenge. He killed many of the participants, who all admitted that they were blinded by greed.

The master wouldn't lie to him.

Shi Nuanyu scoffed, "Whether it was Divine Doctor Valley that murdered the child or Divine Doctor Valley is innocent, you can go underground and ask them."

The bow and arrow were aimed at Duan Jiuyun. She was not a saint; she could not tolerate others harming or killing her.

Duan Jiuyun suppressed his panicked emotions, "Does the princess really intend to kill me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen or so women and children, who were powerless to even kill a chicken, were taken away by the bandits.

He asked smugly, "Does the princess still intend to shoot me, Duan?"

With a wave of his hand, Duan Jiuyun summoned the captured civilians to block his path.

Hua Si'an cursed angrily, "You heartless bastard."

Although Longhushan was a bandit group, they had never done anything so heinous.

Shi Nuanyu stared at him with icy eyes, "As expected of the descendants of those scum from the Divine Doctor Valley, they are always disgusting and repulsive."

He doesn't deserve to live if he uses the people as a shield.

Duan Jiuyun roared wildly, "Hahaha, with them around, what can you do to me?"

The bandits nearby were terrified by his frenzied behavior and quickly moved away from him.

Shi Nuanyu's face darkened. When she saw Yu Changfeng in the distance, she loosened her grip and the arrow flew towards Duan Jiuyun.

At the same time, Yu Changfeng threw his longsword at Duan Jiuyun's shoulder. Due to inertia, Duan Jiuyun was thrown out of the crowd, and the arrow pierced his abdomen accurately.

Blood kept flowing from his mouth. "Impossible..."

Before he could finish speaking, he fell off the cliff.

They attacked from both sides and killed the bandits in one fell swoop.

Shi Nuanyu stepped onto the suspension bridge, coldly watching the bandit leader lying on the ground.

"You captured them all?"

It's obvious, actually; she's just...

Hua Si'an led her people to comfort the people, who were shivering and huddled together, perhaps because they had suffered many hardships.

Yu Changfeng strode over and stood beside her. "Nuan Nuan, leave this to me."

Shi Nuanyu understood what he meant and said, word by word, "Take me there."
