The blind girl is called a saint with a sword!

Cui Sanbian was speechless.

he does not know.

He truly didn't know.

Is it true that living is escaping, or is it true that dying is escaping?

Is atonement achieved by living, or by dying?

An Qingwan said, "I have no intention of deciding Dr. Cui's life. After all, people are different. I only hope that Dr. Cui can think carefully about what kind of path he wants to take. He must think it through clearly."

"No, don't think about it."

Just then, Sikong Tingxue suddenly got up from the ground.

"You...you...you didn't faint?"

Jin Xueyi stared at Sikong Tingxue in disbelief.

Sikong Tingxue was indeed dizzy, but with her martial arts skills, she quickly woke up again.

But the thought that An Qingwan was faking her death, and that An Qingwan had heard everything she had just done, made her imitate An Qingwan and continue to pretend to faint.

Everything else is negotiable; she has already told An Qingwan in front of her that she likes An Qingwan.

That kiss, which seemed to be given out of spite, was something that couldn't be explained or described.

She originally intended to pretend to be unconscious until An Qingwan couldn't take it anymore and left, then she would get up.

But when Cui Sanbian suddenly said he wanted to die, she couldn't keep up the act anymore.

"You can't die," Sikong Tingxue said. "You saved my life. I won't let you die, so you can't die!"

Cui Sanbian's expression changed slightly: "Miss Sikong..."

Sikong Tingxue said, "Not only will I not let you die, but the others you've saved over the years will not let you die either, nor will the victims of the Brazil County massacre. If they don't hate you, what's the point of your death? If they do hate you, they'll surely wish you could live on forever, suffering torment day and night!"

Cui Sanbian's mouth was slightly open, but he couldn't say a word.

Sikong Tingxue said, "So if you want to atone for your sins, you can only live. You must save more people, and you must pass on your medical skills so that your apprentices can save even more people."

Cui Sanbian stared blankly at Sikong Tingxue.

He suddenly slid down to the floor, leaned against the table, and burst into laughter.

Hahahaha.

In the night wind, it was hard to tell whether the laughter was a sign of relief or a desolate resignation.

That feeling was far too complicated.

Sikong Tingxue said, "I will rescue your daughter to repay the life-saving grace of that year."

Cui Sanbian didn't reply, and she didn't expect him to reply either.

She cleaned up all the bodies on the ground and then left the house.

An Qingwan and the other two followed.

Jin Xueyi remarked with emotion, "Sikong Tingxue, I never imagined you had such a kind heart."

Sikong Tingxue still ignored Jin Xueyi. She snorted coldly and looked at An Qingwan.

An Qingwan asked, "Is Miss Sikong still angry about me faking my death?"

Sikong Tingxue said, "Why would I be angry with you? You pretended to be dead to trick the people of Moyu Valley. I was just thinking about how to rescue Cui Sanbian's daughter."

An Qingwan said, "Since Miss Sikong has this idea, why not come with us? We are also going to find Miss Lan's younger sister."

Sikong Tingxue had long wanted to stay by An Qingwan's side, because only in this way could she openly and legitimately get closer to An Qingwan.

Once An Qingwan "falls for her," she can take full advantage of her and then trample on her underfoot.

She just couldn't find an opportunity, but An Qingwan unexpectedly brought one to her.

Sikong Tingxue was overjoyed, but she did not agree immediately. Instead, she pretended to be deep in thought.

"Very well, let's travel together for a while then."

Sikong Tingxue never imagined that An Qingwan was also waiting for this opportunity.

An Qingwan had long wanted to keep her by her side, because only in this way could she openly and legitimately get closer to her and then use her to wipe out the Yinji Sect.

What Sikong Tingxue didn't expect was that after confirming that they would go together, An Qingwan suddenly leaned close to her ear and asked a question in a voice that only she could hear.

"Miss Sikong, how do my lips taste?"

P.S.: Thank you Night Breeze Feather, Burning Dawn, and Lemon Hot and Sour Noodles for the blades.

Seventy-one women who drive people mad [3.5k]

Sikong Tingxue never expected An Qingwan to suddenly ask such a question.

She stumbled back five or six steps, nearly screaming, her eyes filled with terror as she looked at An Qingwan.

She was indeed frightened; her cherry lips parted slightly, but she couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

How should she answer An Qingwan's question?

Your lips taste wonderful?

Of course, Sikong Tingxue could say such things.

But she couldn't say it now, because she had no idea what An Qingwan would say next.

What if An Qingwan replies with "Shall we try again?" or directly exposes her thoughts? How should she respond?

If she can't predict the situation, she won't be able to handle it effectively, and if she can't handle it effectively, she'll fall into An Qingwan's rhythm.

This is something she has always rejected.

She doesn't strive to be in complete control, but she dislikes the feeling of things going beyond her expectations.

Therefore, Sikong Tingxue remained silent.

Sometimes, avoidance is a coping strategy.

The strangeness here quickly caught the attention of Jin Xueyi and Lan Xiaogu.

"What's wrong?" Jin Xueyi asked, puzzled.

Sikong Tingxue quickly made up an excuse: "We are discussing where to find Lan Xiaogu's sister."

An Qingwan smiled and said, "That's right. In my opinion, the best thing for us now is to go find Miss Lan's second uncle. He's the one who leaked the information to Moyu Valley. He might know something. What do you think?"

Jin Xueyi didn't rush to reply, but first glanced at Lan Xiaogu beside her.

After all, it concerns Lan Xiaogu, so it's better to let her make the decision.

Lan Xiaogu sighed.

“Then let’s go. I’ll lead the way. I also want to know why my second uncle did this.”

As she spoke, she raised her right hand, revealing several listless Gu worms crawling on the back of her hand.

"When the people from Moyu Valley came in just now, I tried to call my Gu worms to deal with them, but there was no response. Now I realize that my Gu worms had been tampered with long ago. The only people who could have tampered with my Gu worms are my second uncle and the others. I can only blame myself for not discovering the problem sooner."

Lan Xiaogu looked very lonely.

An Qingwan was not dead, which should have been a happy piece of news, but the names of her second uncle, her half-sister, and her mother who had abandoned her kept popping up, leaving her exhausted.

An Qingwan said, "Since you have no objections, let's travel through the night to avoid any unforeseen complications."

Jin Xueyi nodded and hurried to drive the carriage.

Lan Xiaogu squatted on the ground, looking worried.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, An Qingwan walked to Sikong Tingxue's side again.

"Miss Sikong."

She only called out once, and Sikong Tingxue straightened up as if she had been pricked in the buttocks with a needle.

"Do you really want me to say that your lips are sweet and delicious?"

Sikong Tingxue stared wide-eyed, her voice and expression full of pitifulness.

This is, of course, just a disguise.

She tried to regain the initiative by feigning weakness, just like she had done deep inside the underground palace.

But this time, all her efforts came to naught, like punching cotton.

An Qingwan said, "What are you saying, Miss Sikong? I just wanted to thank you. If you hadn't suddenly appeared, I would have had to put in a lot more effort to find out the truth."

Sikong Tingxue stared blankly at An Qingwan.

Her fair face was full of innocence, so innocent that she thought she had just imagined it. In fact, An Qingwan had never asked her any strange questions.

Okay, I'll take that as a bonus!

Sikong Tingxue's chest trembled from her heavy breathing.

"You're welcome. If you do something like this again, you might as well talk to me first."

An Qingwan pressed her finger to Sikong Tingxue's lips: "Miss Sikong, before you thank me next time, you might as well talk to me first."

Sikong Tingxue suddenly froze.

She recalled the words she had spoken by the shores of Jiangling Lake, one of which was, "I will always remember your kiss."

So, this is An Qingwan's revenge?

She then realized that An Qingwan was also very vengeful.

This damn woman!

She would never let herself suffer in silence; she would retaliate sooner or later.

……

The group first escorted Cui Sanbian to a safe place before turning south.

The journey from Shizhou to Chenzhou is actually not that far.

However, this area was inhabited by barbarians, so the journey was fraught with difficulties due to the high mountains and deep forests, which caused some trouble from time to time and took longer than expected.

Fortunately, once they reached Chenzhou territory, especially near Jingren County, the trouble stopped.

The village where Lan Xiaogu grew up was located in Jingren County. It was a branch of the Jingren Barbarians. Although the village leader was not the king of the Jingren Barbarians, the village held an extraordinary position within the Jingren Barbarian ethnic group.

Because six martial arts masters emerged from the village, these six were collectively known as the Six Masters of Jingren.

When Jingrenman was in deep crisis, these six people sacrificed themselves, sacrificing their own lives to save her.

“I was adopted and raised by the Six Ministers of Jingren. My second uncle was named Lan Tuisi. He was the second son of the Six Ministers of Jingren and used to be a skilled double-sword user.”

Inside the carriage, Lan Xiaogu explained the situation.

An Qingwan nodded and asked, "How did Miss Lan come to be adopted by this Jingren Liuxiang?"

Lan Xiaogu said, "Back then, when the Blood Hand Demon of Tianzhu Barbarians attacked Jingren Barbarians, my father couldn't bear to see the Jingren Barbarians suffer, so he made a pact with Jingren Liuxiang to fight the Blood Hand Demon together. That's when they formed their friendship."

“After my father died, Jingren Liuxiang found me unconscious by the roadside. Seeing that I had no parents, they took me back to the village and raised me. All my skills were taught to me by them, especially my second uncle, who was closest to me. He taught me a lot, including drinking. I really didn’t expect that.”

A sigh.

A thousand sorrows.

In the past, Lan Xiaogu had never known what it meant to feel apprehensive about returning home.

Today, she huddled inside the carriage, not daring to even peek out.

This village is her last home. If even this place can't accommodate her, then where in the vast world can she find a place to belong?

She was terrified, trembling with fear.

She no longer wanted to be a rootless duckweed, she no longer wanted to be abandoned.

An Qingwan gently took Lan Xiaogu's hand.

Finally, the carriage came to a stop.

A voice called out from outside: "Who goes there?"

Lan Xiaogu mustered her courage and leaned out: "It's me."
