Ultimative Intelligenz

Kapitel 93

"Master Protector Yu..."

Yu Lian stiffened, pulled down the bed curtains, and asked, "What is it?"

The visitor said anxiously with a troubled expression, "Guardian Ye is looking for you. He's about to barge in, and we can't stop him at all!"

"I see……"

Before the words were even finished, the woman in red had already burst through the door.

Chapter 74

Yu Lian stood up, his brows furrowed with gentleness, and softly called out, "Protector Ye."

Holding her ever-present nine-ringed broadsword, Ye Qianqian asked with some displeasure, "What's the deal with that underground palace?"

“That’s a trap that the old demonic sect had, but few people know about it because it hasn’t been opened for many years. I found the way to open it in the ancient books, and I’ve already told the elders and other Dharma Kings about it…” He said calmly.

Ye Qianqian had no patience to listen to him finish: "What about Young Master Twelve Nights and Shen Zhili!"

Yu Lian paused, then said, "...I don't know."

Ye Qianqian turned around, and suddenly a very faint groan came from behind the bed curtains.

Yu Lian's fingers froze. Ye Qianqian had already lifted the curtain and looked at Shen Zhili on the bed, whose face was covered in cold sweat. She picked up Shen Zhili and strode out the door.

When they reached the door, Yu Lian shifted her feet, as if she wanted to stop them, but ultimately did not.

Ye Qianqian stopped in her tracks, looking straight ahead, and said, "You never used to lie to me... I'm very disappointed."

Yu Lian opened his mouth, but only managed to sigh, "I'm sorry."

His beautiful fingers tugged at Ye Qianqian's clothes, just like he had done when they were children, but this time Ye Qianqian shook off his hand without hesitation.

Yu Lian raised her eyes and stared at Ye Qianqian's departing figure, fear gradually creeping up her spine.

He had ways to keep Ye Qianqian, but even if he had a thousand or ten thousand ways, he didn't dare to do them.

To seek revenge and to reclaim what he had lost, he could hurt anyone in the world, but he would never dare to touch a single hair on Ye Qianqian's head.

In the daily struggle and endurance, the indifferent girl in red has gradually grown into his god.

*******************************************************************************

"Wake up."

Ye Qianqian shook Shen Zhili's head somewhat roughly.

Shen Zhili was bewildered for a moment before struggling to get up. After seeing clearly, she asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"

Ye Qianqian was taken aback, then smirked and said, "The news that you have amnesia is actually true... You and that bastard surnamed Su took turns losing your memories?"

"Su Chenche!"

Shen Zhili suddenly stood up and tried to climb out of bed: "He's still in the underground palace."

Before he could even get off, Ye Qianqian pressed him back onto the bed: "I'll find a way to save him. You'll only cause trouble if you go."

Shen Zhili was still a little confused: "Then who exactly are you?"

Ye Qianqian curled her lips, a hint of resentment mixed with malice, and said, "I am Su Chenche's lover."

"ah?"

Her exquisite features were accentuated by the red dress, making her even more stunningly beautiful. Her every glance was radiant, and coupled with her free-spirited and flamboyant temperament, her beauty was amplified from seven points to ten.

...So, this guy was actually her love rival?

No, she didn't promise Su Chenche anything, and who Su Chenche's lover is has nothing to do with her.

But... I'm still so annoyed.

Didn't that guy clearly say he liked her? Why is this other guy suddenly appearing...?

Shen Zhili suppressed her anger and said in a low voice, "I know, don't worry. It's just that I stabbed him, and if he dies, I'll feel a little guilty... I promise I won't bother him after we get out."

She hadn't heard Ye Qianqian's voice for a while after she finished speaking, so she looked up in surprise, only to be even more surprised to see a hint of regret in Ye Qianqian's eyes.

"Su Chenche will probably be very sad to hear what you said." Ye Qianqian got up and walked towards the door. "It seems you really don't remember anything."

Sensing the hidden meaning in Ye Qianqian's words, Shen Zhili couldn't help but ask, "Wait, is there something I should remember?"

Ye Qianqian left after saying "You wait here."

Ye Qianqian only turned back after learning from Yu Lian that Su Chenche had escaped from the underground palace and was coming to get the antidote.

She wasn't worried that Yu Lian wouldn't give it to her; Yu Lian never refused any of her requests.

After feeding Shen Zhili the medicine, Ye Qianqian idly practiced her knife skills while munching on sugarcane.

Her secret release of Shen Zhili and her affair with Su Chenche were known to the Dragon King, the Gandharva King, and the Yaksha King. Although Yu Lian protected her, and the Dragon King and the Gandharva King spoke a few good words for her out of respect for Ye Qianqian's parents, Ye Qianqian was now essentially under house arrest. Although she was still free to move around, most of her rights were taken away, and she was forbidden from contacting righteous people.

Ye Qianqian knew she had acted rashly this time, and she would not do anything rash again.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that her parents were both former Dharma Kings, and that the Demonic Sect was currently engaged in a fierce battle with the righteous sects and unable to deal with her, she would probably have already been punished.

Two days later, Shen Zhili still couldn't recall the past.

Ye Qianqian found Yu Lian, who swore that his antidote was absolutely correct, and that Shen Zhili was probably just traumatized and unwilling to remember.

Stimulated?

Ye Qianqian asked Shen Zhili directly, "Have you done anything exciting lately?"

Shen Zhili thought for a moment: "Does stabbing Su Chenche seven times count?"

Ye Qianqian: "..."

Seeing Ye Qianqian's sympathetic expression, Shen Zhili suddenly realized what had happened and said nervously, "Um... I don't know how I stabbed him. I really didn't mean to stab your lover, really, and he's not dead!"

Ye Qianqian's eyes showed even more sympathy. After a long while, she said, "The one who should feel sorry for you is you, not me."

Shen Zhili was bewildered.

Ye Qianqian casually pulled a knife from the wooden shelf by the window, stroking the blade with her fingers, and suddenly smiled: "Although I am unwilling, he has never liked me."

Shen Zhili was even more bewildered.

With a "snap," the knife broke in Ye Qianqian's hand.

Shen Zhili: "..."

Ye Qianqian tossed the knife aside, drew another, and weighed it in her hand, saying, "I lied to you before. Su Chenche and I don't have that kind of relationship. Do you want to hear about what happened between us?"

Shen Zhili looked at the gleaming broadsword in Ye Qianqian's hand, swallowed hard, and nodded.

Ye Qianqian's parents had received kindness from Su Chenche's mother, so before they passed away, they instructed her to help Su Chenche if she encountered him.

When Ye Qianqian first entered the martial arts world, she used the alias Bai Qian. With her superb swordsmanship and stunning beauty, she made a name for herself. However, at that time, she did not think of going to find Su Chenche. It was only a few months later that she accidentally saw the bounty posted everywhere by Zhennan Escort Agency and began to have an idea.

At that time, she was being chased by the son of the Qingcheng Sect leader and was looking for something to vent her frustrations, so she took the bounty and went around searching for Su Chenche.

She only realized after finding him that Su Chenche was not the Su Chenche she had imagined.

She was certainly not the kind of elegant, gentle, and righteous young master that was rumored in the martial arts world. She had been traveling the martial arts world as Bai Qian for a long time, and it was not uncommon for people to doubt her identity. However, Su Chenche was the first person to guess her identity at a glance.

Su Chenche smiled and said to her, "How about we cooperate? I know you don't like the current Demonic Sect."

Yes, she doesn't like it.

The reason I left the Demonic Sect was because I disliked its intrigue, its clearly defined hierarchical structure, and its use of force to classify people.

It's a contradiction. She was born into a position at the top of the demonic sect, but she didn't like it.

So they cooperated with each other.

Su Chenche told everyone that she was his sweetheart, that he helped her get rid of all the unwanted suitors, and that he treated her with unconditional kindness.

She made a mistake and caused trouble, so Su Chenche came to her door to apologize.

Whatever she wanted, Su Chenche would spend a fortune to get it for her.

Even if she got angry, even if she hit him, even if she made a scene and put a knife to his neck, Su Chenche still remained gentle and compliant, brushing it off lightly.

Everyone in the martial arts world says that Young Master Twelve Nights dotes on his confidante Bai Qian to the core.

But actually, he just didn't care.

He just wanted someone to pamper him.

...He doesn't like her.

Shen Zhili interrupted Ye Qianqian's narration, her tone sour and incomprehensible: "He's so good to you, how could you not like him? Who would be so good to someone they don't like?"

"At first I thought so too, but..."

Ye Qianqian glanced at Shen Zhili and said calmly, "I took advantage of him taking a shower and pinned him down, but he didn't do anything."

...Could you please not say this in such a flat tone?

Shen Zhili twitched her lips: "...He might be more traditional."

After saying that, Shen Zhili remembered Su Chenche, who had held her and kissed her until they were on the ground... = =|||

"Don't interrupt me." Ye Qianqian: "...I thought he had a problem down there, so I went all over the world looking for doctors and prescriptions for him."

Shen Zhili: "..."

How much do you hate Su Chenche...?

Ye Qianqian continued, "After the whole martial arts world knew about it, he helplessly pressed my hand and said, 'There's no need to go to such lengths.' I didn't understand. When I got home that night, I found that he had put two men in my bed."

Shen Zhili: "..."

Actually, Su Chenche is getting revenge!

“He doesn’t like me? How could he not like me? What’s wrong with me? How could any man not like me!” Ye Qianqian’s tone was very calm. “That’s what I thought at the time, so I went to Yu Lian to ask for the prescription for the Seven Emotions Pill.”

Shen Zhili was stunned for a moment before she realized: "Seven Emotions Pill, that legendary medicine that makes people fall in love with each other after taking it?"

Ye Qianqian was too lazy to explain further and nodded: "I reached an agreement with Lei Ying, the leader of the Twelve Nights' Dark Division. I spent half a year collecting all the medicinal materials and having someone prepare them. In the end, I devised a plan to make Su Chenche take the Seven Emotions Pill, thinking that as long as he took it, he would definitely... But in the end, he still didn't fall in love with me."

Shen Zhili asked in surprise, "How could that be? Is the medicine fake, or did he not take it at all?"

Ye Qianqian: "I'd like to know that too."

After a pause, Shen Zhili remembered something else: "The commander of the Twelve Nights Dark Division... he should be Su Chenche's subordinate, right? How could he agree to let his master take such a pill? Even if it's harmless, it's still a bit too much..."

Ye Qianqian: "I thought this was Commander Lei's revenge."
