Глава 73

In the martial world, people die every moment, whether it's him or himself; life and death are but a fleeting moment. But for others, life and death are at most a sigh on their lips, while for him, it's a grinding stone, cutting with each heartbeat, reminding him of the fact that he is already dead, while he is still alive.

This time, he disappeared for almost a month.

She had given up hope.

Everyone has their own weaknesses, which make them unlike themselves and cause them to lose their composure. Just as Tang Shijiu's weakness is Shen Yuntan, Shen Yuntan's weakness is Tang Shijiu.

Unfortunately, her weakness is Tianxiu, but Tianxiu's weakness is not her.

Seeing her blank expression, Shen Yuntan repeated, "He's not dead. He might be... nearby, but I just can't find him."

Zi Nu grasped the hem of his clothes, whispered "Oh," and then could say no more. She covered her eyes with her other hand, where she had already uncontrollably become wet and watery.

She rarely cries. Even when she is abused by those disgusting men in all sorts of vicious ways, she just smiles.

As they laughed, they lost the initiative.

Even when Tian Shu struck her half to death with a single blow, she didn't shed a tear, simply because it was his request that she stay by Tian Shu's side.

But now, she couldn't help but lose her composure: "Young Master Shen... don't lie to me..."

Tears flowed so profusely, yet her voice remained calm.

Shen Yun was about to speak when she stopped him.

"If you're lying to me... please... don't tell me..."

Tang Shijiu quickly packed his bags, then heard a soft chuckle behind him. Turning around abruptly, he saw Tianxiu leap into the room through the window.

"My nineteenth beauty, it's been so long. Did you miss me?" He leaned back lazily on the chaise lounge, holding a freshly picked hibiscus in his hand. His bright red robe hung loosely on his body, the collar slightly open, revealing a glimpse of his delicate collarbone. "I heard you were kidnapped by the Tang Clan. I was so worried that I couldn't sleep at night."

"Stop lying." Tang Shijiu pointed at his peach blossom eyes and laughed and scolded, "You look so energetic, not even a bruise. You said you couldn't sleep. Even if you couldn't sleep, you must have been flirting with some girl and couldn't sleep at all."

"Don't be so quick to call me out. You're such a unromantic woman." Tianxiu jumped up from her chair, casually tucked the hibiscus flower into Shijiu's hair, and laughed, "Did you see the note I left for you?"

Tang Shijiu was taken aback: "So... that letter was written by you, it's really well written!"

The heartfelt and startling words spoken yesterday did not originally come from Tang Shijiu's mouth, but from a mysteriously appearing note. She originally thought it was from Zi Nu, but she never expected it to be from Tian Xiu.

Tianxiu chuckled: "Is it well written? You said it word for word? Shen Yuntan must be feeling terrible listening to it."

Tang Shijiu nodded honestly: "You captured many feelings that I couldn't describe in just a few words. But I didn't say everything; I still made some changes. Tianxiu, how did you know that's what I was thinking?"

Tianxiu gently lifted a strand of her hair and placed it to her lips: "Nineteen, it's because I'm thinking of you constantly. I'm thinking of you, so naturally I know what you're thinking. How could I not guess what a girl is thinking?"

Tang Shijiu slapped his shoulder: "Tianxiu! It's such a waste that you're not a woman! But don't say things like 'thinking about you' or 'longing for you' anymore, it gives me goosebumps if it's fake."

Tianxiu chuckled wryly and spread his hands: "Nineteen, aren't you supposed to be pretty smart? How come you were so easily fooled by Shen Yuntan?"

Tang Shijiu gritted his teeth and said, "That's because he's too good at lying!"

Tianxiu rolled her eyes in exasperation. Shen Yuntan's words were full of flaws, but only Tang Shijiu couldn't see them.

Tang Shijiu asked, "Why did you come here so suddenly? Are you here to see Zi Nu?"

Tianxiu smiled and said, "I'm here to pick you up and escort you back to Xiaoyao Manor. The Tang Clan is too cunning, but I'm also very shrewd, enough to make you easily avoid their sight."

Tang Shijiu frowned and said seriously, "Tianxiu, I don't think we're that close. You might as well tell me honestly, what are you after?"

Tianxiu was stunned: "Nineteen...you've changed. You would never have doubted me like this before."

Tang Shijiu lowered her head sadly. She had changed; she had become suspicious and no longer easily trusted others.

"sorry……"

Tianxiu smiled and said softly, "No need to apologize, this is a good thing, otherwise you'd be helping someone count the bones after they've eaten you. I do have ulterior motives, you must listen carefully. First, Shen Yun and I came from the same sect, so naturally our internal energy cultivation has flaws, and I want to use the Tuanfu Heart Method to correct them. Second, you remind me of Tang Weiqi, but unfortunately she is dead, and now only seeing you can remind me of those times."

He spoke frankly and openly, without any hesitation, because he knew very well that by telling him so frankly, Tang Shijiu would not make things difficult for him.

Sure enough, although Tang Shijiu's eyes dimmed slightly upon hearing Tang Weiqi's name, he still smiled and said, "If that's the case, I'm much more at ease. But the Tuanfu Heart Sutra really isn't a secret; even the aunties who buy vegetables at our Xiaoyao Manor know a few words about it."

Tianxiu couldn't help but reach out and touch her long, glossy black hair: "I still want to see your master. Even if there's only a sliver of hope, isn't that good enough? Besides, even if it's not for the Tuanfu Heart Sutra, seeing your lovely face always puts me in a good mood!"

His expression was extremely exaggerated, as if it would be a lifelong regret if Tang Shijiu refused to accompany him. Tang Shijiu chuckled, "I will set off early tomorrow morning, and you can wait for me in the town ahead."

Tianxiu narrowed her long, narrow eyes slightly, exuding charm: "How dare I disobey the beauty's command?"

Tang Shijiu reminded her, "Miss Zi Nu is also here. Tian Xiu, aren't you going to go see her?"

Tianxiu frowned, as if recalling something: "Zi Nu? Which Zi Nu?"

Tang Shijiu was first taken aback, then her eyebrows shot up and she pinched Tianxiu hard: "You heartless and ungrateful bastard!"

Tianxiu winced as she was pinched, crying out, "It hurts...it hurts...it hurts!"

Tang Shijiu tightened his grip: "Zi Nu cared about you so much, yet you can't even remember who she is?"

Tianxiu grinned and said, "The moment I see you, I forget everyone else. What are Purple Slave, Red Slave, Yellow Slave, Green Slave? None of them are as important as our Nineteen!" Taking advantage of Nineteen's slight weakening, he leaped away. "Nineteen, there are too many people who admire me, I can't even count them on my fingers and toes, but I only have you in my heart. Aren't you touched? Don't you want to cry?"

Tang Shijiu grabbed a pillow and threw it at him.

Tianxiu suddenly laughed loudly and dodged out of the window: "Nineteen, see you tomorrow!"

Chapter Forty-Six: Soft Jade

Shen Yuntan wore a human skin mask and had a fake beard glued to his chin. He hunched over and pretended to be a scholar, sitting in a corner of the inn, spying on people.

It is said that the braised pork knuckle at this inn is very famous, but when he ate it, he found it tasteless.
