Chapter 119 The Fake Death Plan
The sky was just beginning to lighten, and the rising sun shone on Jiang Fengyue, whose face showed pity and sympathy.
Hua Wuque asked in a daze, "Brother Jiang, you've arrived. When did you get here?"
Jiang Fengyue sighed and said, "I've been here for a while."
He had been outside ever since Tie Xinlan said those words, and only appeared after Tie Xinlan left.
Hua Wuque said with a bitter smile, "If that's the case, then Brother Jiang, did you hear everything we just said?"
Jiang Fengyue sighed, "I heard you. I've never had a habit of eavesdropping. I just happened to be here and happened to overhear what you were saying."
Hua Wuque smiled wryly and said, "So, Brother Jiang, you've also come to persuade me not to kill Xiaoyuer?"
Jiang Fengyue laughed and said, "Yes, I just hope you won't kill Xiaoyuer. I just hope you die, that's why I came here."
Hua Wuque was taken aback.
Jiang Fengyue had already entered. He opened his right hand, and Hua Wuque saw a black pill.
Hua Wuque asked, "What is this?"
Jiang Fengyue smiled and said, "Why don't you seem happy at all? Have you forgotten our agreement?"
Hua Wuque hadn't forgotten, but the idea of faking death was too bizarre, and no one could say for sure whether Jiang Fengyue was truly confident.
If Xiaoyuer could live, he wouldn't care if he died. He was exhausted and just wanted to rest properly, no matter what the outcome of today's duel was.
Jiang Fengyue smiled and said, "Don't look so gloomy anymore. I will personally watch you take this pill before we go up the mountain."
Hua Wuque carefully took the pill. At such a time, no one would give up as long as there was hope for survival.
Jiang Fengyue laughed again, "You don't need to cherish it so much. I stayed up most of the night practicing this stuff for a whole batch. It doesn't matter if you lose a few."
A slight smile finally appeared on Hua Wuque's sorrowful face as he said, "Thank you."
Jiang Fengyue sighed, "You don't need to thank me too much, because I also want to see what kind of expressions they will have after you die."
Hua Wuque became puzzled and said, "If I die... they will..."
Jiang Fengyue said calmly, "Remember, an hour after you take this pill, you will feel weak all over. Then your breathing and heartbeat will stop briefly, and you will have difficulty opening your eyes. However, you will still be able to hear. At that time, you will be able to hear all kinds of sounds, whether it is wailing, gloating, mocking, sympathizing, or pitying."
He continued, "Most importantly, you will hear your master reveal the secret that will determine your entire life."
Hua Wuque frowned and asked, "Is this secret also related to me?"
Jiang Fengyue laughed and said, "Of course it's related. Can someone as ruthless as Yaoyue really be as chivalrous as she claims? She hates someone so much that she wants to tear that person to pieces immediately. She kept Xiaoyuer alive for so long and still insisted on letting him die at your hands. You should have understood the reason long ago."
Hua Wuque was moved and said, "Alright, I must live to hear this secret no matter what."
The sun has risen, but the morning mist in the mountains has not yet dissipated, carrying a faint fragrance of grass and trees.
Jiang Fengyue and Hua Wuque went up the mountain via a secluded path. When they were halfway up, they suddenly heard other people talking.
Jiang Fengyue pulled Hua Wuque into hiding, because he had heard a loud voice.
A loud voice said, "Xiao Lan, why are you still so indecisive? I think you should just stick with Hua Wuque wholeheartedly. Although he's a bit effeminate, he's still a good match for you."
Hua Wuque recognized that the person speaking was Tie Zhan, and his face couldn't help but turn slightly red.
No matter what kind of man it is, he will definitely feel embarrassed when he hears others call him effeminate.
Jiang Fengyue looked at Hua Wuque with a smile. This man, who grew up surrounded by women, was not effeminate. As long as he liked women, it was already a blessing.
Tie Xinlan did not respond for a long time.
Hua Wuque peered through the gaps in the trees and saw Tie Xinlan with her head bowed, her lips moving slightly, though it was unclear whether she was speaking.
Tie Zhan patted Tie Xinlan on the shoulder again and laughed, "Little brat, what are you pretending for in front of me? Where did you go last night? Do you really think your old father is senile?"
Even from a distance, you could see that Tie Xinlan's face was flushed.
When Hua Wuque's secrets were exposed, he blushed quite a bit.
At this moment, Lady Xiao came out and scolded Tie Zhan, "What kind of father jokes about his daughter like this? I think you're really senile."
Jiang Fengyue thought to herself, "That makes sense. Compared to marrying her daughter to a child who grew up in the Valley of Villains, the successor of the Yihua Palace is indeed a better choice."
Any parent in the world would think this way, even "Mad Lion" Tie Zhan, one of the Ten Villains.
Tie Zhan laughed again, "Since you've already decided to be with Hua Wuque, why are you still looking so gloomy? After this matter is over, I'll let you two get married."
Ms. Xiao laughed and said, "How can I not worry if my future husband is going to fight with someone else? If it were me, I'd probably have already found a way to kill that little fish."
Nan Guosheng chimed in, "I don't think you need to worry at all. Hua Wuque's energy is well contained, and he has already mastered both internal and external martial arts. He has innate strength and has been taught by a famous master. Since Xiao Yu'er is about the same age as him, there is absolutely no way he can compare to him in martial arts."
Tie Xinlan remained silent, biting her lip.
The group quickly walked away.
Hua Wuque was left standing there, stunned, lost in thought.
Jiang Fengyue sighed, "Don't you feel heartbroken? You two are clearly lovers, yet she wants you dead so that Xiaoyuer can live."
Hua Wuque said sadly, "I...I didn't..."
Jiang Fengyue stared into his deep eyes and said, "You do. Unless you're not human, anyone who doesn't receive favor will feel this kind of disappointment. It's just that you're mute in this regard; you never want to speak out when you're wronged."
Hua Wuque remained silent, but how could he not wish that Tie Xinlan would favor him more?
Jiang Fengyue sighed, "But don't be too heartbroken. If you really die, Tie Xinlan will go with you. That's her true intention. Perhaps she feels that dying together is the best outcome for you both."
Hua Wuque looked up in surprise and exclaimed, "What did you say...?"
After a long while, Hua Wuque finally understood Tie Xinlan's unusual behavior and why she had suddenly come to him to confess her feelings. It was because if she didn't say it now, she would never have the chance to say it again.
Only when a person decides to die will they reveal their deepest secrets and expose their tormented heart.
Hua Wuque used his lightness skill to chase after Tie Xinlan.
Jiang Fengyue grabbed him and sighed, "Since I won't let you die, she naturally won't die either. I'll have Tie Zhan keep a close eye on Tie Xinlan, and I'll also keep an eye on her every move. Even if she has to bite her tongue and take poison in the end, I can still save her life."
Hua Wuque murmured, "But why..."
Jiang Fengyue said, "Only after you die once will Tie Xinlan truly understand her own feelings, and only then will she be able to firmly choose one of you and Xiaoyuer."
Hua Wuque said in a deep voice, "Fine, I will 'die'."
