"...Sir, this is why those evil monks from Fulian Temple came to me."
"As for how they knew where I was, I don't know..."
"..."
The candlelight in the room was soft, reflecting the silhouettes of several petals on the wall.
You Jia had finished telling her "secret", while Wei Changtian lowered his head and remained silent.
As he expected, Youjia did not "strategize herself", but only talked about her Tianyin body.
Although this matter was not mentioned in the original work, Wei Changtian did not know about it before.
But there is no doubt that this level of "confession" does not mean that Youjia has let go of her obsession.
Instead, it showed her determination to complete the last mission for Ning Yongnian.
As for why I told myself...could it be that I wanted to "die" myself?
Wei Changtian's brain was racing rapidly, while Youjia was silent for a while, then gently poured out the herbal tea in Wei Changtian's cup, stood up and made another pot of hot tea.
"..."
A shot of tea is clear and translucent, exuding a light fragrance.
Youjia's hand holding the pot trembled slightly, and she slowly filled the tea cup in front of Wei Changtian.
"Sir, let's drink some tea."
Under normal circumstances, there is nothing wrong with this sentence, and it is not too abrupt.
However, Wei Changtian is now 100% sure that the tea is definitely laced with phoenix gall powder.
Although he had already taken the antidote, he would not be poisoned.
But if you really drink this tea, it basically means that the plan to capture Youjia has failed.
"..."
After looking at Youjia for a while, he gently picked up the tea cup and brought it to his mouth.
However, at the next moment, Wei Changtian suddenly and slowly put down the tea cup.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
You Jia asked in a low voice, seeming a little confused.
But at the same time, her left hand on her knee moved slightly.
"Miss You..."
Wei Changtian pretended not to notice You Jia's little move, and said word by word with a complicated expression:
"I know how the evil monk from Fulian Temple found you."
...
I have to say that this kind of game of true and false, in which all previous efforts are wasted if you are not careful, is too labor-intensive.
Wei Changtian is like this, and You Jia is also like this.
"Wha, what?!"
She almost subconsciously widened her eyes, her eyes full of disbelief.
However, after all, the people of the Dragon Guard have undergone systematic training, so after Yujia realized his gaffe, he quickly continued to perform in accordance with his previous emotions.
"Wei, Mr. Wei, how did they find me?"
The tone and status of the two sentences before and after are basically the same.
It might be difficult for ordinary people to notice the difference, but Wei Changtian knew it very well.
But he didn't expose it, he just continued talking on his own.
"Miss You, after rescuing you, I actually sent people to find the remaining evil monks."
"Fortunately, they didn't escape far and I caught them all."
"Later, I ordered people to torture them to extract confessions. Although they didn't know much, but..."
"But I figured out why they knew you were a Tianyin body, and how they knew you were in Shuzhou."
"Miss You, those evil monks said..."
Wei Changtian leaned forward slightly and kept his voice low.
"These were revealed by a big shot in the palace."
"..."
...
From You Jia's perspective, Wei Changtian is his enemy, and the previous plan was also to plot against Wei Changtian.
The enemy revealed to himself his plan to plot against him... Such a scene seemed very ridiculous, but Youjia's mood was very complicated.
She looked at Wei Changtian, who had "little knowledge" of the truth, and after a long silence she asked in a low voice:
"Sir, can you tell me who this person is?"
"No."
Wei Changtian shook his head with regret and asked: "Miss You, is there anyone in the palace who knows your secret?"
"No, no..."
"..."
Same answer, same lie.
One is very calm, while the other is a little difficult.
Once again helping You Jia recall Ning Yongnian's ruthlessness, Wei Changtian paused for a moment and continued to increase his intensity.
"No matter who this person is, since he did this, he must have reached some kind of deal with those evil monks at your expense."
"I deliberately let go of an evil monk. As long as we continue to investigate him, we will surely find out the truth sooner or later."
"Miss You, since you have saved Wan'er, I will definitely keep you safe."
"What's more, now that you trust me so much, I won't let you down."
"Don't worry, as long as I find out who the real culprit is..."
In an instant, the temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees.
Looking at Youjia who was breathing rapidly, Wei Changtian suddenly narrowed his eyes.
"Even if he is the emperor, I will definitely kill him to help you avoid future troubles!"
"..."
Ning Yongnian treats you as a chess piece that can be sacrificed at will, asking you to trade your life for mine.
But I am willing to kill the emperor for your safety.
When Wei Changtian changed the positions of the three of them with one sentence, this change in status had a huge impact on You Jia.
She had only heard of such things in Jianghu stories, but never thought that she could become the protagonist in them.
"Wei, Mr. Wei..."
You Jia suddenly raised her head, and she didn't know when a few tears had fallen from the corners of her eyes.
But she didn't even know whether the tears were for Ning Yongnian or Wei Changtian.
"You, why are you willing to do this to me..."
"I said it, because you saved Wan'er."
Wei Changtian put the handkerchief embroidered with Yuan'er into Yujia's hand and answered slowly: "Miss You, I have a bad reputation and I consider myself to be by no means a gentleman."
"But I always believe that all efforts must be rewarded with equal value."
"This is the simplest principle when people get along with each other."
"You helped me once, but now I'm indifferent to you when you're in trouble. That's not the way I should be."
"If I really do this, I will look down on myself."
Then he secretly poked Sang Shuhuai at Ning Yongnian. Wei Changtian felt that the time was almost up, so he gently raised the tea cup.
Everything that needs to be said has been said, everything that needs to be tried has been tried, and the atmosphere has been set in place.
If You Jia still watched him drink the cup of tea, Qin Zhengqiu would break in within ten seconds and kill the former on the spot.
Only the last few inches of the burning candle were left. Because the wick was not flicked out, the candlelight became a little dim.
The delicate tea cup was raised slowly and quickly, and in a flash the rim of the cup was gently touching Wei Changtian's lower lip.
So...failed?
It seems that human obsession is really a scary thing.
Finally, he took another look at You Jia, who lowered his head and did not dare to look at himself. Wei Changtian suddenly remembered a sentence about chicken soup from his previous life.
Obsession is not a reward from God for loving you completely, but a punishment for deceiving yourself.
Just pull it down, that's it.
He sighed and prepared to drink this cup of tea that could determine Yu Jia's life or death.
But at this moment, a trembling voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"M-Sir...Didn't you say you have something to talk to me about..."
Um?
Only then did Wei Changtian remember that he had indeed said that at the beginning.
But I have already said everything I want to say...
What can I do if you are unmoved?
With an indifferent attitude, Wei Changtian blurted out a little perfunctorily:
