Chapter 65 Not Letting Yourself Down

"Miss Fei, thank you."

"Why thank me?"

"Thank you for telling me the truth."

Looking at the withdrawn hand, Fei Xi raised her eyes and stared at the owner of the hand.

His pale face did not show utter despair despite the loss of hope. Although there was a trace of confusion in his eyes, Fei Xi saw a flame burning fiercely within them.

A thought flashed through her mind, but she quickly lowered her eyelids again...

“From my maternal grandfather to my mother, and then to me, it’s no coincidence, right?”

Seemingly without needing Fei Xi's response, Tang Ziyi continued speaking to himself:

“Miss Fei, that person will definitely come looking for me again. He will not tolerate Tangjiabao being impregnable in my second brother’s hands. A Tangjiabao in internal chaos is what that person desires.”

"Don't you think it's because my medical skills are lacking that I'm helpless against this little bug? If..."

As Fei Xi spoke, she sat down on the edge of the bed, tilting her head with a faint, almost imperceptible smile on her face.

Just as Tang Ziyi was wondering why the woman in front of him was sitting so close.

A slightly calloused hand suddenly pinched his face, and eyes stared at him emotionlessly from inches away.

Tang Ziyi was startled by the other party's sudden and reckless action, but he quickly regained his composure and said:

“There is no ‘if.’ Although Ziyi is not talented, he is not so foolish as to seek help from a tiger. Miss Fei, I know you find it hard to trust me, but I believe that you and I are more suitable to work together than my second brother.”

She didn't let go of his face. She sat up straight and stopped looking at him. Moonlight shone through the transparent glass onto the ground, as if spreading a layer of icing sugar on it.

After a long pause, she released her grip and slowly said:

"I do have a theoretical way to remove Kun from the host's body, but I have never tried it, so I can't say for sure that I can do it."

"Miss Fei..." Before he could finish his excited words, a finger sealed his lips. The woman before him had a stern expression, like a sharp sword, directly exposing the darkest side of his heart that he least wanted others to touch:

“Tell me the truth, if you want revenge, why did you come to me? Let me remind you, your mother’s death is related to Cui Chou, me, your aunt, Tang Huaiyi, and your father. To be precise, I am also your mother’s killer.”

The scrutinizing gaze did not frighten Tang Ziyi, nor did the blunt questioning make him nervous. Instead, he laughed, and that laugh instantly brought life to his pale face.

“Miss Fei, we are both people who defy fate. If you were afraid that I would seek revenge, you wouldn’t have given me hope just now.”

The smile was still on his face when the speaker's tone suddenly changed, becoming fervent as if it were about to burst into flames:

“A month ago, I heard an interesting rumor. At the Three Teachings Origin Conference held in Nanxuan City, a prodigy who far surpassed my second brother appeared. People in the martial arts world were lamenting that although this person had extraordinary comprehension and wisdom in martial arts, she didn’t know any martial arts. Later, people in the martial arts world learned that the reason she didn’t know martial arts was because her limbs and meridians were severed and her dantian was destroyed when she was a child. Miss Fei, a person who can crawl out of hell and still stand up, I believe she has the ability to make me kill the real murderer who killed my mother.”

"..."

No, what happened while she was unconscious?

Why did the entire martial arts world know about her childhood experiences?

Fei Xi was momentarily unsure whether these two pursuits were an attempt to eliminate the threat completely or something else entirely.

However… looking into those trusting eyes, Fei Xi reached out again, grasped his right hand, and took his pulse once more.

“You have Kunke in your body. Although you won’t die no matter what you do, Kunke doesn’t make you immune to all diseases. I will give you acupuncture treatment later according to your constitution. You can go back to the mourning hall tomorrow morning without worry. I will stay in Tangjiabao for the next few days to observe Kunke’s habits.”

"Ah."

Tang Ziyi didn't say anything more and obediently lay down.

Hearing his aunt's words today, he finally realized his second brother's feelings. The woman before him clearly had no romantic feelings for his brother; given her intelligence, she would likely leave Jiangyou within the next couple of days…

Fortunately, everything went as he wished. He closed his eyes with peace of mind and let the other person perform acupuncture treatment on him.

Downstairs, Lord Tang paced anxiously back and forth in his room.

An hour passed, and there was still no movement upstairs.

Just as he was about to go upstairs to take a look, an arrogant figure blocked the entrance to the stairwell: "Lord Tang, my senior sister cannot be disturbed during her treatment."

"Ignorant brat, get out of the way!"

Lord Tang immediately unleashed the Five Poison Palm, the palm wind like a black whirlwind, carrying a hint of venting his anger, as it struck the young man in front of him.

Upon seeing this, Ji Zhongxuan shifted his body, the world was in turmoil, and the wind and mountains moved in reverse.

While dodging the killing blow, he countered with the Heavenly Gang Palm. The Tang Fort Master, with his rich martial arts experience, had already delivered his next killing move before the palm strike even arrived.

Just then, a brute force shoved the two combatants apart.

"Tang Qifei, do you want to kill me too for the sake of your beloved Rongrong?" He Shenggu naturally understood why her husband had suddenly turned against the younger generation.

"Lianniang, I was just trying to teach this junior a lesson. There was no question of fighting or killing. When would I ever be willing to hurt you even a little bit?" Tang Fort Master was embarrassed when his thoughts were exposed, but how could he admit that he had indeed intended to kill?

"Aunt, Lord Tang, Junior Brother?" A sweet voice came from the top of the stairs. Just from the voice, He Shenggu knew that Yi'er must be safe and sound.

"Why are you all gathered here?" Seeing that no one was at the door, Fei Xi came downstairs to find her.

"Girl, how is Yi'er?"

Fei Xi smiled brightly, clasped her hands in greeting, and said:

"We have kept our promise; the eldest son has awakened, but..."

Before Fei Xi could finish speaking, Lord Tang, who had been listening intently to their conversation, rushed upstairs.

"Never mind him, girl. Is there something wrong with Yi'er's health?" The word "but" made He Shenggu's heart clench.

"Hmm... The eldest young master was once poisoned by Gu. Although his condition is still under control, his blood has become extremely poisonous. I don't have a clue how to solve this problem yet. I need to stay in Tangjiabao for a while to see if I can find a solution. In the meantime, I'll trouble my aunt to take care of me and my junior brother."

"What kind of Gu is this? I've never heard of it before!" It's no wonder He Xiaolian was surprised. She was the Holy Maiden of the Nanpu tribe, and she had spent her entire life dealing with Gu. She knew everything about Gu, no matter what kind. But she had never discovered or even heard of the Gu poison on Yi'er's body.

"Fei Xi doesn't know either, Aunt. Don't worry, I will find a way to save the young master."

"Girl, you've worked hard. If you encounter any difficulties, just ask and let your auntie help you." Looking at the adorable little girl, He Shenggu couldn't help but step forward and gently hold the little girl's hand.

He Shenggu's loving words brought tears to Fei Xi's eyes. She missed her mother and couldn't help but ask:

"Auntie...don't you feel wronged?"

He Shenggu felt a warmth in her heart. The care and worry in the little girl's eyes were genuine; she truly felt that the girl had been wronged.

Even though her son hadn't noticed or cared about her feelings, someone else noticed that she was very aggrieved.

“I used to have some regrets, but now I understand that everything I’ve done is moving in the direction I want, so I won’t regret it. Girl, you have to live a life that has meaning, so that no matter when you look back, you’ll find that you’ve never let yourself down.”
