Chapter 110 Heartache in the Middle of the Night
After the four of them returned to the town together, Si Yunzhou and the other man said goodbye and returned to the inn, while Qian Yao and her senior brother returned to the Qian family.
Before leaving, Qian Yao specifically asked Si Yunzhou and the other man to visit Qian's house the next day, and Pei Cangli and the other man nodded in agreement.
When Qian Yao returned to the Qian Mansion, she went back to her room first and did not come out until her father sent someone to call her.
"Yao'er, how do you feel about going out with your Senior Brother Sun this time? Can those two be recruited?"
"Dad, that Zhou Yunsi is really good, but his junior fellow apprentice Li Cangpei is temporarily injured and cannot use his spiritual power. He needs to find something called June Frost. I wonder if Dad has heard of it?"
"June Frost? I think I heard someone mention it before. You stayed in the house for so long after you came back. Are you looking for this?"
"Yes, Dad, I want to see if I have this kind of spiritual herb so that I can give it to Zhou Yunsi as soon as possible."
"But I heard from your senior brother that you don't like Li Cangpei? Why are you still helping him find spiritual herbs?"
"Dad, you want to recruit these two people, so you have to give them something in order to keep them."
"Then I gave him my precious daughter, isn't that enough?"
When Qian Yao heard this, her face immediately turned red with shame. She tugged at her father's sleeve and said awkwardly, "Dad, what are you talking about?"
"I just don't know what Zhou Yunsi and the other two look like. They wear masks all day long. I heard from your senior brother that they are used to block your spiritual consciousness. Dad is afraid that you will be wronged."
"Don't worry, Dad. On the way back, Zhou Yunsi accidentally dropped his mask. I happened to see it. He is indeed a very handsome man. Your daughter is not wronged at all."
"No wonder your attitude changed. It turns out that you have a crush on my senior brother, so you are anxious to cure Li Cangpei."
"Dad, if you tease my daughter like this again, I will ignore you."
After saying that, Qian Yao deliberately let go of her hand and turned away with a serious face, as if she was really angry.
"Yao'er, my good daughter, Dad will listen to you, but Dad can't bear to see you leave. Zhou Yunsi must stay in my Qian family. As for his junior brother, he should stay with him after he is cured, just to keep him company."
"Everything is up to Dad's arrangement."
Not long after Sun Shang returned to his room, he heard the servants discussing that Qian Yao was going to come and find a son-in-law.
He was still thinking that after all these years, the head of the Qian family finally recognized him and was willing to marry Yao'er to him. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep well all night.
Pei Cangli and the other person who returned to the inn were also thinking that after they went to the Qian family tomorrow, they would be kept by Qian Sanwan.
They were afraid that it would not be so convenient to do anything at that time, so they began to discuss the follow-up matters.
"Friend Si Dao, if the Qian family asks you to be their son-in-law, you should pretend to accept it, but you must cure my injury first."
"Cang Li, the Qian family may not accept me as their son-in-law tomorrow. Besides, how can I agree to accept the daughter of your father's murderer as my son-in-law?"
"If she's not the daughter of my father's murderer, will you agree?"
Pei Cangli felt as if she had discovered Si Yunzhou's lifeline. This man was obviously ignorant about love, but he always acted as if he liked her, so she had to tease him.
When Si Yunzhou heard Pei Cangli say this, a trace of anger appeared on his face, and he said sullenly, "Cangli, you know that's not what I meant. If possible, I only wish to..."
"Then I don't mind. Why are you so repulsive? It's just acting. Don't take it seriously."
Pei Cangli interrupted Si Yunzhou before he could say anything, and then went to bed. It would be better to go to sleep quickly, as the atmosphere would become ambiguous if they continued chatting.
She had already rejected him, but now the situation forced them to sleep in the same room. It would be better not to talk about these things. It was good to be like this now, otherwise there would be no way to continue the performance later.
Si Yunzhou watched Pei Cangli interrupt him and then go to bed to rest as if avoiding him, and he felt very upset.
He just wanted to take this opportunity to explain his inner thoughts to Pei Cangli, but unfortunately she didn't even give him a chance.
Fellow Daoist Jin had told him before that when dealing with a girl like Cangli, one should take it slow and then seize every available opportunity to express one's feelings. Why is it so difficult for him?
Si Yunzhou sighed silently and lay down on the bed. In the middle of the night, he suddenly felt Pei Cangli moving, so he sat up and asked her, "Cangli, are you okay?"
Pei Cangli took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm fine. Did I wake you up? Sorry, I'll go outside for a while so as not to disturb your rest."
After she finished speaking, she wanted to sit up and walk out, but her heart ached and her whole body trembled.
His face was pale, with beads of sweat on his forehead. He covered his heart with one hand and held the edge of the bed with the other. He fell down as soon as he got out of bed.
This damn body, she didn't say she wouldn't take revenge, she just wanted to take it slowly. Today she only met with Qian Yao and Sun Shang, but her heart hurt so much at night. This forced her to kill the Qian family right now.
When Si Yunzhou saw Pei Cangli like this, he was so scared that he quickly helped her up. Without caring about all the formalities, he carried her back to the bed.
"Cangli, what's wrong with you? Did they poison you today?"
The two of them agreed to just pretend to hurt Pei Cangli so that she wouldn't be discovered using water power.
How could it come true now? And how come Cangli was in so much pain this time, but he didn't feel anything at all?
That was because Si Yunzhou didn't know that Pei Cangli was a time traveler and the original owner of this body was just reacting instinctively after seeing her enemy. So only Pei Cangli herself was suffering, and Si Yunzhou couldn't feel it.
"I'm fine. It's probably just my body's instinctive reaction after seeing my enemy. I'll be fine after a rest."
"Cangli, how about we change the plan tomorrow? We won't stay at Qian's house. I will go and kill them directly."
"Friend Si, you have no grudges against them. If you kill them directly, you will be burdened with karma, which will be detrimental to your cultivation."
"Besides, we have already discussed that this is the fastest and best opportunity to implement. We cannot give up. Once we alert the enemy, it will be more difficult later. You don't have to worry about me."
"Then Cangli, what should I do to make you feel better?"
"I feel much better now that you are with me like this."
Looking at Pei Cangli tightly pinching her own hands, you can tell that it is not as easy as she said.
Si Yunzhou said "I'm sorry" and pried Pei Cangli's fingers apart, then held her tightly and let her fingers hold in his hand.
Pei Cangli wanted to pull his hand back, but Si Yunzhou held it so tightly that he couldn't move it at all. Soon, another round of heartache came over him.
Si Yunzhou's hands were pinched with several deep bloody marks, but he seemed not to feel the pain. The look he gave Pei Cangli was filled with heartache and tenderness.
When Pei Cangli woke up again, she was leaning in Si Yunzhou's arms. One of Si Yunzhou's hands was still tightly held by her, and the other hand just hugged her from behind to prevent her from falling.
Her forehead just happened to be against Si Yunzhou's chin. As soon as she moved, Si Yunzhou immediately reacted and asked hurriedly, "Cangli, are you feeling better? Does your heart still hurt?"
Pei Cangli was at a loss as to what to do when she heard Si Yunzhou's voice. She instantly felt like she was going to die and wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
Si Yunzhou saw that she didn't say anything for a long time, thinking that she was still not feeling well, so he lowered his head to look, and when he saw Pei Cangli's uncomfortable expression, he quickly let her go.
Then he apologized, "Cang Li, I was offended last night, but the situation was urgent at the time and I didn't think too much about it, so..."
"I know. I don't mean to blame you. Thank you for taking care of me last night."
After saying that, Pei Cangli didn't know what to say next. Suddenly, her eyes swept across Si Yunzhou's hand and saw the bloody mark left by her pinching it.
He quickly apologized to Si Yunzhou, "Friend Si, I'm sorry. I scratched your hand last night. Let me apply some medicine for you."
After saying that, he took out a bottle of medicine from his storage bag and gently applied it to Si Yunzhou's hand.
