But someone deliberately pushed his sister out, wanting her to kill those people. He did not want his sister to get involved in this, so he had no choice but to act first, even at the cost of disrupting the plan he had set for a long time.
I stared at him and said, "You shouldn't have taken the Hundred Days of Carefree Powder."
He turned his head and replied calmly, "Since I've taken it, I shouldn't think about it anymore. Besides, what else can I do? I want to kill him, but I can't win. If I were thirty-eight, I would definitely be able to win. Unfortunately, I'm only eighteen."
I felt a sense of gloom in my heart. The Hundred Days of Carefree Powder is irreversibly toxic; there is no doubt he will die. It is indeed too late to say this now; saying more is pointless. Yet, I still felt it was a pity.
As a reader who has watched the female lead's journey, I am well aware of Yue Qingzhi's talent and strength. Her abilities are actually stronger than her brother's. Even if she were to face the final big villain alone, it would not be a problem at all. But she has a nature of playing dumb and eating tigers, deceiving everyone.
He does not know this either. Even if he did, he probably wouldn't care much.
Sure enough, he continued, "Killing people isn't fun at all. If possible, it's best not to get involved. Unlike me, with a worthless life—if I kill, then I kill; if I die, then I die."
The moonlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves and illuminated his face, revealing the carefree look of the young man. For a moment, inexplicably, I reached out and touched his face.
He widened his eyes and stared at me.
I also stared back at him in surprise.
His face was warm; he was alive.
At this moment, he was right in front of me as a living person, not just a villain character from a book.
"What are you crying for?" Yue Qingyi frowned at me.
I lowered my head.
"Don't cry with that face; it bothers me," Yue Qingyi said irritably. "When I'm bothered, I just want to kill someone."
"…"
I almost forgot that this person is a psychopath—moody and unreasonable when it comes to killing. The humanity left in him only relates to his sister.
I was interrupting.
I wiped my tears away and put away my sympathy, saying expressionlessly, "Since you are about to die, I'll stay by your side to collect your body as a way to repay you for saving my life earlier today. Or consider it as after-sales service for the Hundred Days of Carefree Powder sold by my father."
He stared at me for a while before finally saying, "Okay."
After speaking, he hugged his sword and leaned against the tree, closing his eyes and saying, "Sleep now. No one should come tonight." As for tomorrow, who knows?
The sun rose high. This was the second day since I entered the book. There were twenty-nine days left until Yue Qingyi would succumb to poison.
He woke up first and then woke me. Today, Yue Qingyi seemed exceptionally gentle; even his sharp, cold black attire did not diminish his softness in the slightest. I wondered what he was thinking.
"Let's go; today we will meet at Chu County." Yue Qingyi straightened up and walked ahead.
I yawned widely, looked around in confusion, and asked, "Aren't you bringing anyone from Fengyu Sect?"
He continued walking without pausing, seemingly unfazed by my mention of Fengyu Sect, and replied lightly, "Those useless people would be of no help. If you're scared, you don't have to follow me."
I quickened my pace to catch up, turned around to face him while walking backward, and smiled cheerfully, "What do I have to fear with you around?"
"You have good judgment," Yue Qingyi smirked but then unceremoniously brushed me aside. "Don't block the way."
I took no offense and turned back to walk properly beside him. It wasn't that I trusted his abilities that much; it was just that with the plot in hand, there was really nothing to fear.
As a reader who had seen his ending, I knew that Yue Qingyi had never encountered anyone he couldn't defeat until two days before he was poisoned. Even when injured, he had always managed to escape danger.
Moreover, if I remembered correctly, Chu County was where the female lead would meet Yue Qingyi again. Since I was already here, wouldn't it be a pity not to see her?
However... there were people from Fengyu Sect in the original story, right? After all, just him alone wouldn't create the same flashy entrance described in the text. It was puzzling.
It wasn't until evening when we arrived near Zhang Family Mansion at Chu County that I discovered the people from Fengyu Sect had been waiting here all along.
"So these are your Eighteen Guardians," I said curiously, eager to reach out and touch them. The book described how the leader of Fengyu Sect always made a grand entrance accompanied by the Eighteen Guardians, each skilled in martial arts.
Finally seeing them in person was indeed more impressive than just hearing about them.
Yue Qingyi did not respond to me. He took the Golden Silk Mask handed to him by a guard and threw it directly into my arms with a snap.
I was taken aback.
"What are you doing?"
Yue Qingyi said, "Put it on properly. Don't let anyone see you standing next to me with that face."
I thought to myself: If you're worried people will mistake me for your sister, just say it outright.
He was trying to protect Yue Qingzhi, concerned that the world would turn against her because she had a brother who was the Demon Sect Leader, so he chose not to acknowledge me when we met.
My resemblance to his sister was a significant factor in his indulgence of my reckless behavior. But on the other hand, this face could also attract unnecessary trouble for his sister.
It's laughable; what a Sister Complex he has.
I obediently put on the mask.
There was no choice; those who know how to adapt are the wise ones.
I am a beautiful girl; I know how to adapt.
Soon, night fell deeply.
Our group finally set off towards Zhang Family Mansion.
Before we arrived, our voices preceded us.
"Storms from All Directions Come Deep in the Night, All Evil Spirits and Monsters Disperse." The Eighteen Guardians resonated this phrase with their inner strength in the air, then landed uniformly on the roof of Zhang's Residence's main house.
It is rumored in the martial world that anyone who hears this phrase will see bloodshed at their doorstep.
The Fengyu Sect never returns empty-handed.
It was dinner time, and soon the Zhang family was thrown into chaos due to the arrival of the Fengyu Sect.
I heard commotion below and recalled that at this moment in the original text, the female lead should be lying on a rooftop of Zhang's Residence with a few friends, watching the movements of the Fengyu Sect.
Just as I was about to turn my head to look for them, I was held down by Yue Qingyi, unable to move my head.
Yue Qingyi coldly said, "Don't look around."
Only then did I understand.
