I was reborn after cheating on the aloof and powerful man.

Chapter 140 "Going Home"

If the same method is used again, Wushuang Manor will definitely have to make a move.

The mere thought of Wushuang Manor brought back memories of its perverse nature.

Alas……

I shook off the goosebumps all over my body with disgust, deciding to put it off for now.

After protecting the old man's heart meridian, Fei Xi used silver needles to seal the old man's internal energy within his dantian, preventing him from using his internal energy again.

Fei Xi lowered her eyes and pondered her next move after putting away the silver needles.

Having learned from Ji Shidi's experience, Fei Xi knew that no matter what she tried, she could not heal the old man's injuries.

This is also why she had always treated others without ever suggesting that she first detoxify the elderly.

This dilapidated temple exudes an eeriness.

The old man saved her time and time again, using his inner energy repeatedly.

She really didn't dare to gamble on whether the old man would die from poisoning the next time he used his internal energy.

The thought of the old man nearly dying from vomiting blood brought tears to Fei Xi's eyes again.

There are many people in this world who are kind to her, and quite a few who would risk their lives to protect her.

However, this was the first time Fei Xi had ever encountered such feelings that made her both angry and sad, and such a tangled mess that she wanted to let go of but couldn't let go of.

She didn't understand why she cared so much about this old geezer.

She hoped the old man would understand her more; she didn't want him to die...

She absolutely refused to let him die!

Having made up her mind, Fei Xi looked at the old man again, her gaze now softened with a tender affection she herself was unaware of.

“Grandpa, I have a way to cure your poison, but I’m missing something. Once I return to the Central Plains, I will find that thing. Once I have it, I will definitely cure you. No matter what happens now, I hope you can trust me this once.”

"You must not use your internal energy again. I will definitely protect you."

Fei Xi's earnest request was met with an impatient glare from the old man.

The old man sat up and dressed, seemingly completely unconcerned that he had become a person who was powerless and unable to use his internal energy.

He handed Fei Xi her coat back, his sharp gaze fixed on her.

What did you hear before?

Fei Xi didn't understand the meaning of the old man's words at first, but after a moment's thought, she realized something was amiss.

"...Grandpa, did you really not hear anything?"

"Girl, I've also been wanting to ask you, why were you talking to yourself all alone in front of that monster?"

While the "monster" was wandering around searching for something, Shen Tianbao quietly returned to the main hall and led the surviving brothers back to the central courtyard.

Of the 32 people who went on this mission, the main force of the entire Changchang Escort Agency was among them, but now only 18 have survived.

Shen Tianbao knew that in the martial world, one's life and death were unpredictable, and one's fate was uncertain.

However, this mission resulted in the loss of nearly half of his brothers, and the rest, except for him, were all crippled to varying degrees by the wicked woman Qiu Shuying.

I'm afraid even if the rest of them manage to return safely.

In the future, Changchang Escort Agency will also fall into a desperate situation where it has no one to use and will cease to exist.

Carrying the still unconscious swordsman on his back, Shen Tianbao placed him on the straw mat.

He didn't let himself succumb to despair for long. As soon as he returned, he heard Fei Xi talking to the old man.

He couldn't help but interject and ask the same question as the old man.

“I heard someone shouting to go home… and what I said afterward was just repeating what I heard.”

"Grandpa, you said that monster was a man-made killing machine. Even a tool knows to go home, right? Could it be that a real person lives inside this robot?"

"I have no idea!"

Perhaps Fei Xi's words were too shocking, for the old man was visibly startled, and then roared in anger.

After yelling at the old man, he seemed to regret it and immediately offered a few awkward explanations.

"Some sounds have very low or high frequencies, which are difficult for the average person's ear to detect. You must have had very sensitive hearing and happened to hear the robot's instructions."

"instruction?……"

Fei Xi repeated the sentence, touching the meteorite in front of her, and a bold guess emerged in her mind.

……

"Woof woof woof!!!"

A dark shadow lunged at him, and the old man's heart warmed; he was about to reach out his hand...

His body suddenly tilted to one side, and the feeling of imbalance jolted him awake from his sleep.

By the light of the fire, he saw that his hands were empty.

'go home……'

He murmured quietly.

The darkness obscured his senses, and he couldn't tell whether he was in a dream or back in the cold reality.

The firelight illuminated the man's face, making his features appear and disappear in the firelight.

Through the firelight, he caught a glimpse of the strange girl sleeping soundly opposite him.

Protect him?

Ha, overestimating yourself!

He despises stupid people, and he loathes self-righteous stupid people even more.

When he first heard the girl's name, he was convinced that this person who had stepped on him to become famous must be another vain and ambitious little man.

His subsequent actions confirmed his suspicions.

What a wonderful Princess Shouguang!

Vatti is not someone to be trifled with.

Driven by vanity, this person allowed his sect to become a pawn in Hua Di's manipulation of the martial arts world. His actions were truly foolish!

However, at this moment, he had to admit that he had misjudged the situation.

This girl wasn't just incredibly stupid; she was audacious to the point of being excessively self-righteous!

Besides the mysterious and unpredictable Tianshan Mountain, the ten sects behind the Spirit Hall have always been closely related.

Did the Spirit Hall really remain completely unaware of what the Peach Blossom Sect and the Carefree Sect had done on that wrecked ship over the past decade?

Or perhaps, we should ask: are Qiu Shuying and the deceased leader of the Xiaoyao Sect really the only culprits?

If it weren't for the involvement of treason, which allowed Emperor Hua to intervene in matters of the martial arts world.

Will Qiu Shuying be wanted by the entire martial arts world and have to fight?

Qiu Shuying enjoys harming others. What does it matter how many innocent people she kills? The dead can't come back to life to seek revenge on her anyway.

As long as it doesn't harm those who benefit from the system, who would care if the person who benefits them has a little quirk?

On the contrary, after the ship was exposed, the vested interests actually lost out.

It was a matter of public anger being difficult to defy, and they also needed to report back to Emperor Hua, so those in power had no choice but to abandon Qiu Shuying.

The intricacies and complexities of this situation were naturally unknown to the people of Changchang Escort Agency.

These cannon fodder at the very bottom of the martial arts world might not even know who Qiu Shuying is.

But the girl realized that in order to seduce him, she had selectively revealed only part of the story, which made him realize that what this person was planning might be beyond his expectations.

When the other party pointed out the dead end that Tiangongbao was targeting Changchang Escort Agency, he realized that this girl actually knew so much about the affairs of the Ten Great Sects and even harbored hostility towards them.

Trying to fight against the injustice of the ten major sects all by himself?!

Naive, ridiculously naive!

Do people really believe that as long as they work hard, they can get justice?

Looking back, he too, once carefree, wanted to help those innocent people.

Recalling the past, he gave a self-deprecating twitch at the corner of his mouth.

With the vast sky above him and the Milky Way in his eyes, wandering amidst boundless desires, he was truly exhausted.

The heart is like a traveler who has lost his way home; compared to physical fatigue, the desiccation of the soul has begun to manifest as mirage-like illusions.

Do you believe her?

He's too lazy to deal with these endless disputes anymore.

After his beliefs collapsed, he was left with only one wish.

'Going home... he can never go back.'
