With the help of the talisman, in just one minute, Hua Wenyan’s eyelashes began to tremble and she gradually woke up.
“Where…is this place?”
She struggled to sit up, looking a little dazed.
“Poor girl, you have already arrived in the underworld. Do you have anything to say before you reincarnate?”
Hua Wenyan was startled by the sudden low voice, but when she saw it was Ren Bin, she let out a long sigh.
“It turned out to be Master Ren Bin… I was scared to death.” “here it is……?”
Ren Bin waved his hand, “We just found a random place that is relatively safe. You are covered in wounds, so we have to stop and rest for now.”
Hua Wenyan was stunned for a long time, then lowered his head: “Thank you, Master Renbin and Master Tiannv…” “I thought…I would definitely die tonight.”
From the moment she held the evil sword, she never thought she could survive.
“No need to thank me first.”
Ren Bin looked at her with complicated eyes, then sighed, “Although you are not dead yet, your physical condition is worse than we thought.”
“The demonic energy that has entered your body has already damaged your meridians. Logically speaking, you won’t live much longer.”
Looking at Hua Wenyan’s dazed expression, Ren Bin had no intention of keeping her hanging and continued: “I used a very precious spell to temporarily lock up your vitality, but the power of the spell has a time limit after all… Just understand that I have kept your life, but I can’t keep it for long, maybe a few days, maybe a few months, I can’t say for sure.”
“I understand…Hua Wenyan suddenly looked a little lonely.
“Lord Ren Bin has allowed me to die with dignity, rather than in such a painful and ugly way. I am already very satisfied.”
“…..No, you can still survive.”
Seeing that Hua Wenyan was about to say his last words, Ren Bin quickly interrupted him.
“Didn’t I just say ‘it stands to reason’? I must have a way to save you.”
“The meridians can be gradually restored with the help of medicine, but the process is relatively long.”
“I have an ice coffin here,” Ren Bin waved his hand, and a cold coffin appeared beside him, “This is much more effective than my spell. Even if you are a dying mortal, you can live another ten or twenty years in this ice coffin.”
“My wife has already applied ointment for you. You just need to go into the coffin and fall asleep.”
“For those who enter the ice coffin, it is like a dream. When they close their eyes and open them again, their bodies return to their original state.”
After a brief moment of disbelief, Hua Wenyan’s body trembled slightly: “Thank you, Master Ren Bin… Thank you, Master Tiannv, I, you…” “I don’t know how to repay such a great favor. I just hope to be your cow after I wake up…” “It’s fine if I work like a slave.”
Ren Bin interrupted her and said, “Since we are destined to meet, I should do my best to help you.”
“In fact, we don’t even need to use a spell to wake you up. We should have thrown you into the ice coffin after applying the medicine.”
“Mainly, I have some questions to ask you.”
Hua Wenyan raised his head and tried to sit up straight, “Excuse me, sir.”
“When did you get that evil sword?”
“The day before yesterday.”
Hua Wenyan thought for a moment and added: “I saw it on my bed the night before yesterday when I returned to the palace to rest.”
“The black sword was contained in a wooden box engraved with runes, and a note was also left behind.”
Hua Wenyan suddenly covered her head in pain: “hiss……” “What’s wrong?”
“I suddenly have a headache…” It feels like ants are gnawing at your brain.
“Tsk…” Ren Bin said immediately, “Don’t think about that note anymore.” “yes…..” Sure enough, the pain disappeared instantly.
“You actually cast a Command Spell. That’s quite a big deal.”
The headache shifted, and now it was Ren Bin’s turn to have a headache.
“Don’t think about more than what you have just thought about. Just say as much as you remember.”
“Hmm…..that’s probably what Meng Jianglou meant by taking action.”
“Also, let me hide this sword in the zither.”
“Hide in the piano…?”
Ren Bin discovered the blind spot, “You mean, from the very beginning, you were going to play the piano in Mengjiang Tower?”
“No, I didn’t know what to do until the dinner. I was still wondering whether I should take the initiative to play the piano.”
“I remember that someone asked you to play the piano at the dinner.”
“Yes, it was that official named Wang. He has been plotting against me for a long time.”
“Official Wang…?”
Ren Bin thought of the greasy middle-aged man whose throat was stabbed by Hua Wenyan’s sword when he first arrived at Mengjiang Tower.
“Was that the last person you killed?”
“Yes.”
“……”
Ren Bin fell into silence.
His little eyes were filled with great doubts.
There are so many questions…Since it was the official Wang who made the request, why did he end up getting himself involved?
Was he instructed by someone?
Or was he just acting on purpose because of his lust for sex?
Or did someone have something on him?
Did the note contain any specific action plan or any hints?
He couldn’t figure it out for a while, so he simply… stopped thinking about it.
Next question!
“You said that after you met me, you got the ticket for the lake cruise, right?”
“Yes, I do.”
“Then did you know that the ticket came from the harem?”
“From the harem?”
“A friend of mine told me that only concubines in the harem can take out purple tickets.”
Ren Bin narrowed his eyes, “Do you know anyone in the harem? Does Wei Haowen know anyone? Or…people around you?”
“…..No.”
Hua Wenyan shook her head.
“Officials in the imperial court are not allowed to have contact with the concubines in the harem, and it is even more impossible for sword masters like us.”
“Your Excellency means that those people are from the harem?” “…..uncertain.”
Ren Bin sighed, “Without evidence, it’s hard to explain.”
“Maybe we are in a hurry, so we can only take out this ticket.”
“Maybe it’s another trap to confuse my thoughts or make me back down.”
He prefers the latter.
Because he didn’t feel like he was being monitored when he was boating on the lake before…If someone was really worried about him, there would be someone watching him at least.
“Okay, that’s all my questions.”
After organizing his thoughts, Ren Bin stopped thinking and took a step back.
“I have some questions for you, too.”
Yu Xian, who was standing aside holding a sword, spoke coldly.
“Excuse me, Lady Tiannu.”
“After you recover, will you live the rest of your life in mediocrity, or continue on the path of cultivation?”
“Can I still practice?”
Ren Bin smiled and replied: “Of course, it’s just starting from scratch.”
“But you’re not too old and have a good understanding, so you should be able to catch up soon.”
“Well, of course I am willing to practice!”
After all, mortals are helpless, and only with strength can they survive better.
“……”
Yu Xian carefully observed Hua Wenyan’s eyes.
After nearly half a minute, she continued to speak: “Your previous sword intent has been completely eroded by the evil sword… just what I want.”
“Huh?”
Hua Wenyan was slightly stunned, not knowing what it meant.
“Your talent for swordsmanship is…just so-so, not bad.”
“Will you please accept me as your master?”
A ray of cold light emerged from the long sword in Hua Wenyan’s arms.
