As soon as the words were spoken, Xia Yuhan took a few steps back in shock. "What? I am your woman? The one who ruined my virtue that day was you?"
"So what if it is me?"
Why don't you ask who ruined your reputation? The masked man felt somewhat frustrated!
For Xia Yuhan, she never expected this outcome. Faced with it, she simply couldn't accept it.
To be honest, she found it hard to accept this fact! Why did he have to torment her like this?
First, he stabbed her, then mercilessly sprinkled salt on the wound, and afterward, he rewarded her with medicine for treating the wound. What was all this? Was she supposed to thank him for that?
"Why is it you? You hurt me, and you are also the one who saves me?" Now Xia Yuhan was becoming increasingly confused; she couldn't make sense of the situation, and even the flowers and grass beneath her feet seemed to distort.
The man in black looked at the dazed Xia Yuhan, his dark, shining eyes appearing even deeper!
"A woman who is too clever often doesn't live long! What I should say has been said; what you shouldn't know is unnecessary. If you insist on entangling yourself in this matter, don't blame me for being merciless!"
All along, the tension in Xia Yuhan's heart relaxed. She let down all her defenses and removed all false facades, feeling utterly drained in front of such a formidable opponent.
Especially the next words from Evil Master Zhangmen chilled her to the bone!
Initially, she thought that as long as she found the mysterious person helping her, she would uncover some clues. But now it seemed utterly impossible!
She had hoped to leverage the mysterious person's power to help her solve this case, but now it seemed like a fool's errand!
From the beginning, Cang Yile had wanted to make a deal with her. He helped her uncover the truth behind her framing while she did tasks for him. But looking back now, it was merely a game for him; how ridiculous that she had taken it seriously!
Steeling herself, Xia Yuhan's scattered gaze gradually became resolute. Since death was inevitable, she might as well face it boldly!
"I, Xia Yuhan, am not a pawn of Evil Sovereign. Why should I stop investigating the case of my virtue being framed just because of your words? Are you really Puppet Master?"
At this moment, Xia Yuhan suddenly trembled. No, he was lying! If he were the Puppet Master, he would have killed her long ago; why would he be circling around her like this?
Or did he have other considerations?
“Woman! Shut up!”
He suddenly shouted angrily, his overwhelming aura radiating from him, causing Xia Yuhan to involuntarily take a few steps back! What a powerful presence!
“Stop daydreaming. If I were the Puppet Master who would ruin your reputation, do you think you would still be alive to stand here and talk to me?”
“I’m not daydreaming; you are very likely the Puppet Master! You have always been ruthless; who knows what your true intentions are this time? Perhaps your support for Cang Yile is just a facade, and in reality, you are secretly serving the Queen. If one day the truth comes out, you could easily shed your identity as the Puppet Master and become part of the forces supporting Cang Yile, making it impossible for anyone to suspect you!”
Xia Yuhan's emotions were somewhat out of control. She anxiously scanned her surroundings and saw that it was desolate, with weeds growing everywhere; it seemed this place had been abandoned for a long time.
If he wanted to kill her today, no matter how much she screamed, no one would know!
This person was extremely skilled; if she tried to use Hidden Weapon in front of him, she might not even know how she died!
How could she have lost her composure like that earlier?
What should she do? What should she do now?
The Masked Man looked at the panicked Xia Yuhan and couldn't help but sigh deeply: “Foolish woman! In a situation like this, talking like that is simply asking for death!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the man lunged at her!
His speed was so fast that Xia Yuhan didn't have time to react; she didn't even blink before she found herself in his embrace.
Xia Yuhan did not expect that what awaited her was not death but a warm embrace and the man's hot breath...
“What do you want?” Xia Yuhan instinctively tried to break free from his grasp, but clearly, her struggles were futile.
"Woman, you are too nervous! I only want you to be my woman! Whether in the past, present, or future, you will always be my woman!"
Hearing these words from the man, Xia Yuhan felt a chill in her heart. What was going on? She didn't want to get married, nor did she want to have any physical relationship with any man.
Her sole purpose for living now was to uncover the truth and to provide a comfortable life for her second mother in her old age!
She didn't want to be involved in anything else!
"Ever since my purity was destroyed and my reputation ruined, I have suffered from extreme shock and can't remember anything from before! All I remember is waking up surrounded by a group of people cursing at me. So if there was any connection between us before, let's end it here. Because Xia Yuhan is no longer the Xia Yuhan of the past!"
From the masked person's words, it was clear that the previous owner of this body had some connection with Evil Master Zhangmen, which made sense of why he saved her!
The reason she said this was mainly to avoid having too much involvement with the person in front of her! After all, whether Evil Master Zhangmen was the one who set her up, she still couldn't be completely sure.
"Woman, have you forgotten about that night so quickly?" He tried to remind her, genuinely hoping she remembered the night they spent together.
Although what happened that night was not what he wanted, ever since then, he couldn't stop thinking about Xia Yuhan.
Previously, he had always disliked women, but this Xia Yuhan had entered his heart without any defenses.
Xia Yuhan was pinned beneath the man, breathing a bit heavily. She wanted to escape this awkward contact, but he held her tightly in his embrace.
"Evil Sovereign, Yu Han remembers spending many beautiful and painful nights, but she cannot recall that night with you. Sorry."
Could it be that the previous owner of this body had some connection with him before marriage?
No! No! Xia Yuhan would never easily believe every word he said! She had to stay calm, remain calm!
Though she kept telling herself this, her heartbeat grew more and more frantic, even beyond her control. For such a rapid heartbeat, she wished she could grasp her heart and make it stop beating immediately!
"Hmph! What an ignorant woman! Even now you still doubt that I am your Puppet Master?"
The corners of the mouth hidden beneath the Black Mask suddenly twitched. His original intention for coming here was not like this; he never expected to be misunderstood so deeply by this woman!
He initially just wanted to symbolically punish her, but who would have thought that the moment he held her in his arms, he could no longer bear to let go!
Even with every struggle Xia Yuhan made, he felt an impulse to consume her completely...
He was enduring quite a lot of hardship!
“Woman, stop moving around! Don't you want to confirm whether I am the one who set you up as the Puppet Master? You will find out soon enough!”
After saying this, he hid Xia Yuhan among the weeds and covered them with vines and similar things.
Just as Xia Yuhan was about to speak, a dozen men in black suddenly burst in from the night. From their skills, it was clear that they were all highly skilled fighters!
At this moment, the Masked Man whispered softly in Xia Yuhan's ear, “That short and agile man in black among them, doesn’t he look like your maid Qiao'er?”
Xia Yuhan was startled. After his remark, when she looked again at the group of black-clad men, she indeed felt it was quite similar!
“How did they track us down here?” Xia Yuhan quietly asked.
“Of course, I led them here! When I brought you here, I conveniently handed a pre-written note to Sun Liuxiang, telling her you had come here! Don’t overthink it; I’m just helping you trace the clues because I have nothing better to do today!”
Now Xia Yuhan didn’t know what to say. She only felt her mind was in chaos and could only obediently lie in his arms to hide well!
Perhaps because they were hiding too well, those men in black searched around the desolate weeds but couldn’t find them.
“What should we do next?”
“Since they can’t find us, let’s act separately! Before we accomplish our goal, make sure not to expose yourselves. Also, the master has ordered to eliminate Xia Yuhan and Jiang Tingyu as soon as possible!”
“Understood!”
Although the voice of the man in black was not loud and there was some distance between them, due to the stillness of the night, Xia Yuhan heard his words clearly.
Especially that familiar voice, which could only belong to Qiao'er.
Long after the man in black had left, the Masked Man finally released her. Seeing that she had escaped her restraints, Xia Yuhan quickly crawled out from the grass.
“Woman, take care of yourself! Don’t think that just because you don’t remember what happened before, I will easily let you go!”
“Yes!” She had been pondering the words of the group of men in black and did not pay much attention to the Masked Man's words. She merely replied lightly, “Actually, I was wondering why those people wanted to kill Jiang Tingyu, the Right Chancellor of Azure Dragon Kingdom?”
The man's eyes were filled with jealousy. Mentioning Jiang Tingyu again—he still hadn’t confronted her about what happened last time when they were alone together: “What does his life or death have to do with you? Woman, mind your own business, or don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
“How can it not be related? Jiang Tingyu is a good official who cares for the people of Azure Dragon Kingdom. Shouldn’t we be concerned about such a person's safety? Moreover, the Right Chancellor saved my life; how can I not repay this kindness?”
“Take care of your own life first! To get to the point, I came to see you this time to tell you that from now on, all matters will be communicated through Cang Yile, and orders will also be issued by Cang Yile. Otherwise, you will never uncover the truth you seek in this lifetime! So, do we proceed with this deal or not?”
