Глава 21

"Sometimes I don't understand what you're trying to do. If you're going to kill me, then don't keep putting yourself in my line of fire."

"I just want to fulfill my family's wish, the so-called unification of the martial arts world. Unfortunately, my character is clearly evil and crooked, so I can only let Tianshu be the one to stick his neck out. And all I can do is remove all obstacles for him from behind." He blinked his slender eyes. "Actually, what I want to do most is to be a doctor. Even if I can't be a doctor, it would be fun to poison people from time to time."

“I don’t like killing. If you really want to unify the martial arts world, then go and manage your subordinates. Jinhu Manor is secretly raping young women. Don’t tell me you didn’t know about this.”

Tianxiu pulled out the silver needles, watching with satisfaction as the blush on Shijiu's face faded. While tidying up, she said, "I know, it's none of my business. It's inevitable that some bad apples will emerge from a powerful sect." Her slender, peach-blossom eyes narrowed into slits. "Yun Tan, you dislike killing, yet you're going to slaughter the entire manor again?"

“Once I take action, it’s inevitable,” he said calmly. “You know what I hate most.”

"Back then, Miss Tang Weiqi, who knew no kung fu, died from rape and murder. This turned Shen Yuntan from a recluse who didn't care about the martial arts world into a great hero who specialized in dealing with flower thieves. It's a pity that his methods were too ruthless. Otherwise, the so-called righteous path of the martial arts world would have taken you as an example to properly educate newcomers."

Suddenly, her fair wrist was grabbed, and a sharp pain shot through her wrist. Shen Yuntan's voice was chillingly cold: "Don't mention this again."

The spot where he held her was numb with pain, and Tianxiu felt as if her left hand no longer belonged to her body, yet her face was still full of smiles: "I'm sorry, I won't say it again. If you cripple my left hand like this, who will give the Nineteenth Beauty acupuncture later?"

The iron hoops slowly loosened, and a ring of bruises immediately appeared on Tianxiu's wrist, but he was still fearless: "You have already avenged your family and killed more than thirty members of Chen Tiannan's family."

“He is not the murderer,” he said succinctly. “The murderer who killed Wei Qi has not been found to this day.”

Tianxiu pushed Shijiu closer to him and said, "If you can't find her yet, take your time. Let's take the beauty to her room to rest first. There's still plenty of time, as long as... you find her before I kill you."

Shen Yuntan looked at the sleeping face of the woman in his arms, then stood up: "If Wei Qi hadn't been killed by the internal force behind her in the inner courtyard of the Tang family, I would have really suspected that you were the murderer. Wei Qi never ventured into the martial world, so naturally she had no enemies. Apart from Wei Qi, not a single blade of grass or tree in the Tang family was missing, so the murderer was clearly targeting me. Apart from Chen Tiannan and you, I can't think of any other adversaries. It's a pity that your martial arts skills are not high enough to hide from the Tang family's strict guards, and you don't have that much internal strength either."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't need to worry about who the murderer is; I could just kill you directly."

"You can kill me now. I've always wanted to kill you anyway."

“I’ve killed before, and you escaped. I don’t like killing, but once I start, I can’t stop. Do you want everyone here to die with me?” He stood at the door, not turning around. “I won’t let you get away with this either. The cat-and-mouse game isn’t over.”

“Kill me, and Tian Shu will hate you.” Tian Xiu said with a smile, waving her fan.

"Then let us hate. Perhaps Master's prophecy is right; sooner or later, one of us will die at the other's hands."

The figure in the scholar's robe slowly walked into the inner room, but his voice still reached his ears.

"It can't be you. You like Tang Weiqi more than I do."

She tightened her grip on the fan slightly, her smile radiant, but it didn't reach her peach blossom eyes.

When Tang Shijiu opened her eyes, the first thing she saw wasn't Shen Yuntan, but Tianxiu's smiling face. That face was only a leek leaf's width away from her nose.

Tang Shijiu was taken aback at first, then acted instinctively.

Shen Yuntan, who had just poured himself a cup of tea while sitting outside, heard a scream from inside the room.

Tianxiu covered his eyes and squatted on the ground. Shijiu stood beside him with a guilty look on his face, wanting to comfort him but at a loss for what to do.

"I'm disfigured! I'm disfigured! Tang Shijiu, you have to take responsibility for the rest of my life!"

"Tian...Tianxiu, I'm so sorry, I didn't expect your martial arts to be so bad." Tang Shijiu looked at Shen Yuntan with a pleading look, as if explaining, "I...I opened my eyes and saw you so close to me, I accidentally...I really didn't expect you couldn't dodge. Tianshu's martial arts are so good, I thought...I thought..."

Shen Yun breathed a sigh of relief, completely ignoring Tianxiu, who was squatting on the ground with a black eye: "You look so energetic, it seems you're much better."

Just as Nineteen was about to answer, Tianxiu started screaming like a pig being slaughtered again: "It hurts, my eyes are blind!"

Shen Yuntan slowly squatted down and put a hand on his shoulder: "Let me see if I'm really blind?" His tone was gentle, but Tianxiu let go of his hand and smiled apologetically, "Just kidding, I'm not blind."

Yun Tan raised an eyebrow, his expression clearly telling Tian Xiu that if he discovered it was extortion, he really would gouge out his eyes.

"Is she fully recovered?" This time, it was clearly Wen Tianxiu who asked.

Nineteen couldn't understand why this seemingly gentle, refined, and obedient good-for-nothing uncle sometimes seemed so unfathomable. For example, right now, even though he was smiling, Tianxiu's expression looked like he had swallowed a dead fly.

"Not entirely well, she needs to rest for a while longer, about ten days!" Tianxiu shook his fan, a panda-like freckle appearing on his handsome face, making his smile less than pleasant. "I'll keep an eye on her until she's better!"

Nineteen looked at Tianxiu very seriously: "Although your martial arts are not good, that good-for-nothing said you are his enemy and he wants to kill you. So I will still keep an eye on you. If you do anything that is detrimental to the spittoon, I will beat you to death."

Tianxiu grinned, which aroused Wuqing, who then grinned from ear to ear.

“The beauty has given her order, and Tianxiu dares not disobey.”

Chapter Fourteen: Effeminate Men

The poison hadn't completely cleared up yet. Nineteen made a fuss, laughed, and then fell asleep on the table. Shen Yuntan gently picked her up and placed her on the soft couch.

Tianxiu was an extremely pleasure-seeking fellow; the bed was luxurious, the pillows soft, and even the bed curtains were made of crimson gauze. Several beautiful young maids bowed slightly to Yun Tan, saying, "Young Master, Miss." Their movements and speed were identical, demonstrating their excellent training. The lead maid had a round face, was very pleasing to the eye, and spoke in a way that was also pleasant to hear.

"Miss is so beautiful, she's like a fairy."

"Young Master Shen is clearly a very important person who is either rich or noble."

At that time, Shen Yuntan was still wearing a scholar's robe that was neither new nor old, and there was really no sign of wealth in it. However, the girl stared with her round eyes and spoke without blushing or skipping a beat, so that people did not feel that she was just flattering her. It was very heartwarming to hear.

Yun Tan glanced at the maidservant and thought to herself, "Master was right when he said lying is human nature. This girl is only about ten years old, yet she's already so adept at lying."

Nineteen slept until noon the next day.

As soon as she opened her eyes and sat up, the maids swarmed around her, busily helping her dress and wash her mouth. Tang Shijiu had never been treated like this before, and she was both surprised and delighted, yet also apprehensive. When the maids reached out to unbutton her clothes to help her change, her apprehension turned into terror.

When Tianxiu entered the room, she saw the maids kneeling on the ground and Shijiu huddled on the bed.

"Just have them serve you, they'll do it willingly, they'll even feel uncomfortable if they don't!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the maids said in unison, "Serving Miss is something we are happy to do."

The round-faced maid was the first to plead, "Miss is as beautiful as a celestial being, and we ordinary mortals are fortunate enough to serve a goddess. It is a blessing that we can only dream of in a few lifetimes."

Nineteen waved his hand: "Don't say that, it gives me goosebumps."
