She ran away without Zhu Fugui's knowledge, and her only advantage was the protection of the "Kunji Seal," which Jiang Sishui obviously didn't know either.
Zhu Qiqi didn't want to explain her misunderstanding, nor could she. She said smugly, "This young lady is highly skilled in martial arts and doesn't need anyone's protection!"
"Really? What about Xuanyuan Sanguang? How come you almost got sold out?" Jiang Sishui exposed his weakness.
After learning Zhu Qiqi's identity, he was able to roughly grasp her temperament, so he was no longer as polite as he had been at the beginning.
The mere mention of this incident infuriated Zhu Qiqi; she felt an urge to dig up Xuan Yuan Sanguang's corpse and whip it...
Oh, he didn't even leave behind a body.
Zhu Qiqi's face flushed red, and she said angrily, "How was I supposed to know he was so heartless! I was just trying to help him, and he treated me like that!"
Jiang Sishui and Ren Yingying exchanged a glance, both intrigued: "What happened? Tell us?"
Zhu Qiqi already had a lot of grievances to confide in, and now that she had an audience, she couldn't keep her thoughts to herself, so she said, "That was when I first came to the town."
“That day, he was surrounded and beaten by several thugs, his face was bruised and swollen. Of course, I couldn’t pretend I didn’t see it, so I went up and chased those thugs away.”
"Later he told me that those thugs were the bouncers at the gambling den. Because he lost money gambling and couldn't pay it back, he would get beaten up every few days."
"I saw he was quite old, and one of his eyes was damaged; he looked very pitiful, so I gave him some money to pay off his debts and tell him not to gamble anymore..."
He readily agreed.
"But the next day, he came to me again and said he didn't have enough money."
“I asked him why, and he said the debt had been outstanding for too long, and the gambling den had raised the prices.”
"So I gave him some more money."
"In the following days, he kept asking me for money under various pretexts."
"I had my doubts about him at first, but he swore he would turn over a new leaf. Unfortunately, the casino owner was too arrogant and wouldn't give him that chance."
“I was very angry at the time, so I took him to the gambling den to demand justice.”
"When I got there, the people at the gambling den surrounded me and wouldn't let me leave, saying that I had already been taken by Xuanyuan Sanguang to pay off his debts."
"From them, I also learned that all the money I gave to Xuanyuan Sanguang during this period of time had been gambled away by him!"
"The last time, Xuanyuan Sanguang lost his mind and used me as collateral."
"He lost again, so he tricked me into going to the gambling den. You all know what happened next..."
As she finished speaking, Zhu Qiqi's voice grew softer and softer, and her cheeks flushed red, as if she were feeling embarrassed.
Jiang Sishui and Ren Yingying exchanged a glance and couldn't help but chuckle.
This dim-witted girl is a classic case of "being sold out and still counting the money for the seller".
Ren Yingying couldn't help but recall her evaluation of Zhu Qiqi in her March 3.7th diary entry—
"She breaks free from the constraints of concepts such as chivalry and evil, good and bad, and is a wealthy girl with a special background and unique experiences."
"Her unique personality lies in her sincerity, which is not without extremism; her intelligence, which is not true wisdom; and her passion, which is prone to madness."
"She was a kind-hearted lady from a respectable family, but also a narrow-minded woman who was prone to jealousy in love."
"She is an angel who does bad things, a spoiled witch in a group of chivalrous people."
Ren Yingying sized up Zhu Qiqi and made a mental assessment.
She saw all these virtues: sincerity, elegance, purity, kindness, and a chivalrous spirit.
However, at the same time, this girl does seem to be not very bright.
As for other characteristics, further observation is needed.
262 Zhu Qiqi: Beg me!
"Do not laugh!"
Hearing their laughter, Zhu Qiqi couldn't help but feel embarrassed and angry.
Being made fun of like this was already embarrassing enough, but being mocked on top of that made her feel even more humiliated.
Doesn't Miss Zhu, a woman of high status, have any dignity?
Jiang Sishui laughed and said, "Miss Zhu, let's not talk about your... superb martial arts skills. Just look at your brain... even Xuan Yuan San Guang's clumsy lie could fool you, and you still dare to venture into the martial world alone?"
Zhu Qiqi pouted and muttered, "Who knew he looked so pitiful but was actually so hateful? Humph, I'll never fall for that again!"
“A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit; no one is mature from the start. This experience may not be a bad thing for Miss Qiqi,” Ren Yingying said, trying to help Zhu Qiqi out of the predicament.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qiqi immediately beamed and echoed, "That's right!"
Then she hugged Ren Yingying's arm, nuzzled her shoulder affectionately, and said sweetly, "Sister Yingying is so sensible, Sister Yingying is the best!"
Sister Yingying?
Jiang Sishui raised an eyebrow.
That little brat, she sure knows how to sweet-talk.
There's a reason why she's so cherished and pampered by so many people in the story.
Then he asked, "You ran away from home, but where are you going?"
Zhu Qiqi shook her head: "No, I'm just wandering around, going wherever the road takes me."
"That's it..."
"What about you?"
"We're going to Jinzhou, but not to your hometown, but to the Pingyao area."
Pingyao?
“Yes, there’s a great treasure there, so I’m going to go see it.” Jiang Sishui’s voice was calm, yet it sounded just like the “Big Bad Wolf.”
"Treasure?" Zhu Qiqi blinked.
Recalling the contents of her past diaries, she quickly made a judgment.
This guy is either after Lin Shiyin from Liyuan, or he's eyeing the two ultimate martial arts techniques, "Buddha's Palm" and "Heavenly Crippled Kick".
Jiang Sishui once revealed in her diary that in a TV series called "Buddha's Palm", the two great martial arts skills were hidden in a secret ancient tomb in Pingyao, Jinzhou.
Since Jiang Sishui called it a treasure, it must be two martial arts techniques.
Thinking about this, Zhu Qiqi felt a strong interest.
According to Jiang Sishui's estimation, these two unique skills are at least sacred texts, and may even surpass them!
Jiang Sishui, observing the situation, said at the right moment, "With the treasure appearing, there might be some excitement to see. Would you like to come with us and take a look?"
Zhu Qiqi agreed without hesitation: "Okay, okay!"
During the rest of the trip, Jiang Sishui asked about her family situation and gained a general understanding of her.
Zhu Qiqi, being a restless and restless person, couldn't wait to share her "wonderful" experiences with Jiang Sishui whenever she met an "acquaintance".
Jiang Sishui felt increasingly uneasy as she listened.
Although Zhu Qiqi's speech was illogical and she rambled on and on, he could still tell from her fragmented words that she had encountered many dangers.
Zhu Qiqi remained unharmed throughout.
As for how she escaped danger, Zhu Qiqi didn't say a word.
If Jiang Sishui pressed for details, she would evade the question.
This made Jiang Sishui start to have doubts.
In the end, he still preferred that someone was secretly protecting Zhu Qiqi.
As for why Zhu Qiqi doesn't admit it?
In his mind, it was probably just that the young girl was trying to save face and was being stubborn.
……
Dusk hour.
Jiang Sishui summoned a light array and looked at Zhu Qiqi, who was looking on in surprise, and invited her, "Miss Qiqi, come over here quickly."
"Once we go in, we can go straight to your house?"
"good."
Zhu Qiqi remained standing still upon hearing this.
Jiang Sishui was puzzled and was about to ask when Zhu Qiqi suddenly raised her chin and said arrogantly, "You'll have to beg me!"
Jiang Sishui was taken aback, wondering if she had misheard: "What did you say?"
"Beg me quickly, and I'll go with you!"
Zhu Qiqi blinked, looking at Jiang Sishui with anticipation, hoping he would ask her for a favor.
As long as Jiang Sishui is willing to speak up, she will have fulfilled one of her wishes.
When Zhu Qiqi saw Jiang Sishui's comments about her in her diary, she astutely extracted a few key words and summarized them—
Willful, capricious, extreme, self-centered, brainless, and extremely jealous!
This infuriated her, and she immediately made up her mind—
