The blind girl is called a saint with a sword!

Jin Xueyi acted swiftly and decisively, carrying An Qingwan into the cellar as she spoke.

Although it's called a cellar, it's not actually filled with miscellaneous items, but rather with clean beds.

After placing An Qingwan on the bed, Jin Xueyi pulled out a bundle of iron chains from under the bed and used them to lock An Qingwan's hands and feet.

I only felt at ease after locking it twice.

"In that case, even if you wake up, you'll be completely at my mercy."

These iron chains were forged from cold iron and were originally created to bind martial arts masters.

Jin Xueyi patted the dust off her hands with satisfaction, and when she looked up, her gaze met that of Uncle Li, who had just come down from the street.

She casually said, "Uncle Li, just put the things on the table..."

Clang!

The basin that Uncle Li was holding suddenly slipped and fell to the ground with a sharp sound, splashing water all over the floor.

Jin Xueyi was startled and quickly stood up from the bed: "Uncle Li, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, but Miss..."

Uncle Li's voice trembled.

Before entering the cellar, he never dreamed he would see such a scene.

What do you mean by "even if you wake up, you can only be manipulated by me"? Doesn't this sound like something a womanizer would say?

Miss, you, you, you...

"You are confused!"

Uncle Li looked disappointed and disappointed.

“Young Miss, I know that the deaths of Master and Madam have broken your heart, and I know that you have suffered a lot on your journey to avenge them. But even so, you cannot give up on yourself. When Master and Madam were alive, they were always public-spirited and righteous. What would they think if they knew that you intended to force... to play with this young lady?”

Uncle Li's words confused Jin Xueyi.

"Playing with her? When did I ever mean to play with her? Besides, I'm a woman too, how could I possibly play with her?"

Jin Xueyi was puzzled; she didn't have any tools to commit the crime.

Li Bo said, "Didn't you just say that you wanted to manipulate this girl?"

Jin Xueyi hesitated for a moment, then said several times, “Uncle Li, you misunderstood. When I said ‘manipulate,’ I didn’t mean to play with her. I suspected that the ‘Qimen Bafang Dao’ was on her, which is why I brought her back.”

Uncle Li was stunned for a moment: "She is the murderer who killed Master and Madam?"

Jin Xueyi shook her head: "She is not, but she captured people from the Ironclad Gang. The 'Eight Directions Blade of Qimen' might be on her."

Uncle Li was filled with shame: "Miss, I... I'm really getting senile. I shouldn't have made such presumptuous assumptions about you."

He raised his hand to slap himself.

Jin Xueyi grabbed his hand.

“Uncle Li, you don’t need to blame yourself. I know you’re worried about me. Besides… it’s getting late. Uncle Li, you should go and rest. I want to talk to her alone.”

Uncle Li moved his lips, but then turned and left.

The cellar returned to tranquility.

Jin Xueyi sat down next to An Qingwan.

The candlelight flickered, and after a long while, she sighed.

"Eager for justice and righteous?"

She smiled sadly.

"My parents taught me from a young age that people should do good deeds while living in this world, but what is the use of doing good deeds?"

“My parents did many good deeds in their lives and helped many so-called heroes, but when the Ironclad Gang killed my parents in order to seize the ‘Eight Directions of Qimen’ sword, not a single person stood up to stop them.”

"Fine, if they don't stop it, then they don't. The Ironclad Gang is powerful and has climbed up to the Prince of Pingnan, so it's understandable that they don't dare to step forward. But what did they do when I went to beg them afterwards?"

“I traveled all over Hunan and visited Songyang School, Dongge Academy, Zhaixing Tower, and finally Fuhu Gate. I will never forget that day when it was pouring rain.”

“I don’t ask them to help me deal with the Ironclad Gang. I just want to borrow the Tiger-Taming Blade. But even though I knelt in the rain for two days and broke the stone slabs, they still refused to see me.”

"The former leader of the Fuhu Sect was being hunted down by his enemies. My father gave him food, healed his wounds, and risked his life to hide him. Later, it was also my father who helped him kill his enemies and return to the Fuhu Sect to become its leader. But now, he... hahaha..."

As Jin Xueyi smiled, her eyes filled with tears.

She turned to look at An Qingwan, who had somehow acquired a plum blossom dart in her hand.

"Li Bo just said that I have fallen into depravity. I must admit that I have changed a lot. In the past, I despised such insidious methods as hidden weapons and would never have attacked or ambushed someone without investigating the matter thoroughly."

"but……"

Jin Xueyi gritted her teeth.

"I'm giving myself another chance today!"

"An Qingwan".

"If the Eight Directions Mysterious Blade isn't on you, and I've misunderstood you, then I'll kill myself to repay the debt I owed you for attacking you during the day!"

"If it were you, I would fall completely into depravity. I would become a villain, even more wicked than the Poison Taoist, the most wicked person. I would use every means to kill all the great heroes and all the righteous sects!"

As they spoke, Jin Xueyi began to take off An Qingwan's boots, and then her socks.

But before he could even take off his socks, voices suddenly came from the cellar.

“You can’t be a bad person, at least not a really bad one. A real bad person wouldn’t shout like that.”

"Nonsense, how could I... um?"

Jin Xueyi was taken aback.

Who was speaking just now?

She quickly turned around and stared intently at An Qingwan on the bed.

"you're awake?"

"woke up."

Jin Xueyi was startled and took a few steps back: "When did you wake up?"

"From the moment I leaned on your shoulder."

Doesn't that mean he didn't sleep at all?

Jin Xueyi's face turned ashen: "Are you lying to me?"

An Qingwan said, "I'm lying to you, I wasn't poisoned at all."

"you……"

Jin Xueyi was furious.

An Qingwan said, "Haven't you heard the saying, 'The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie'?"

Are you going to brag about your looks while you're laughing at me?

shameless.

Jin Xueyi laughed in anger: "I didn't expect you to trick me, but you also didn't expect me to tie you up with chains made of cold iron, did you? Since you say I can't be a bad person, then I'll show you what a bad person is today!"

She made a move to continue taking off An Qingwan's socks.

Then, something strange happened.

An Qingwan's feet began to contract in a twisted posture—no, not just her feet, but her entire body.

Her body, which was originally about five feet long, shrank to less than four feet in an instant, and the tightly bound iron chains and the locks could no longer hold her.

With a slight tremor, she broke free from her bonds, and when she stood up, her body returned to its original state.

"Shrinking...bone-shrinking technique?" Jin Xueyi was dumbfounded. "How do you know this?"

An Qingwan straightened her disheveled clothes: "I know more than you think."

not good!

Jin Xueyi rushed toward the entrance to the cellar.

She had only taken one step when she tripped and fell. Before she even hit the ground, a hand grabbed her waist, pulled her back, and threw her onto the bed, where she fell hard.

When she came to her senses, she found herself bound hand and foot with chains and her mouth stuffed with An Qingwan's socks.

“If you don’t yell and scream, I’m taking my socks off, understand?”

Jin Xueyi nodded quickly.

An Qingwan pulled out the socks, and the next moment, Jin Xueyi's mouth dropped open.

"mouth……"

He had only uttered half of the word "ah" when the sock was stuffed back in.

An Qingwan shook her head: "If you're not honest, I'll give you another chance. Next time, it won't be socks that I put in."

This time, Jin Xueyi finally behaved herself, only glaring at An Qingwan with resentment.

An Qingwan said, "See, I told you you couldn't be a bad person. You're not even as good as me at being a bad person."

PS: The length unit is calculated based on modern data, because the dimensions and weight values ​​varied in different periods in ancient times, making conversion difficult.

Eight, you come to be my eyes.

Jin Xueyi no longer possessed the ruthlessness she had shown not long ago when she vowed to become the most wicked person in the world.

Not only could they not be ruthless, but they also wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.

I can't get revenge.

You can't even harm others.

They even stuffed socks into their mouths.

She began to question herself, feeling that she was the most useless person in the world.

Otherwise, how could she have ended up in this situation?

In her despair, Jin Xueyi gradually developed a desire to die, and she raised her head.

"Kill me, I don't want to live anymore. If you kill me, I won't owe you anything."

An Qingwan said, "You don't want revenge anymore?"

Jin Xueyi looked pained: "I can't take revenge. I can't take revenge on my own in my whole life. Please do me a favor and kill me, so that I won't have to suffer in this world anymore."

An Qingwan shook her head: "I won't kill you."

Jin Xueyi glared at her and said, "Are you going to keep humiliating me? Fine, then humiliate me!"

An Qingwan said irritably, "You carried me here. If I kill you, how am I supposed to get back to Zhen'an County? Do you think I have an auto-pathfinding function?"

Jin Xueyi was speechless.

That seems to be the case.

It's dozens of miles from Zhen'an County, and the roads are rugged. Even a normal person unfamiliar with the roads would get lost, let alone An Qingwan, a blind girl.

Thinking of this, Jin Xueyi suddenly smiled.

"I forgot about that. Do you want me to send you back to Zhen'an County? If you hadn't gagged me with a sock just now, I might have helped you, but now forget about it. I'd rather die than submit. And don't even think about messing with Uncle Li. Uncle Li is most loyal to my family, and he will never submit to you!"

An Qingwan laughed too: "So confident?"

Jin Xueyi sneered: "Of course, I'm not even afraid of death now, why would I be afraid of you? No matter what tricks you play, I won't give in!"

An Qingwan nodded: "That's ambitious, but what if I told you I'm going to help you get revenge? How would you react?"

Jin Xueyi's body trembled, and her eyes widened.

"You...what did you just say?"

An Qingwan crossed her arms: "Where did that smug look go?"

Jin Xueyi really wanted to shout, "Who cares about your help?"

—If it were the old her, she would have already shouted it out.
