Chapter 235 The price of saving people
Chapter 235 The price of saving people
"In that case, Yu Niang's condition..."
"Because Yu Niang is related to the protagonist's plot, the entire world automatically began to repair itself, so Yu Niang became seriously ill."
Jiang Tunan was a little sad.
"Can't the plot be changed?"
Jiang Shouyan smiled slightly and snapped his fingers.
"Of course you can change the plot."
I saw more words flashing white light flying in front of Jiang Tunan, and those words flashing white light were rotating with Jiang Tunan as the center.
"Entered the Xiao Mansion and named myself Tu Nan. Passed the selection and successfully entered the female..."
Jiang Shouyan brushed these words aside, looked at Jiang Tunan seriously and said,
“These are the plots you changed.”
Jiang Tunan was a little unsure of Jiang Shouyan's intention.
"Then how can we save Yu Niang?"
"Emm, this, in fact, should not spoil the plot."
Jiang Shouyan scratched his head, looking very embarrassed.
"But because you don't belong here, you have the ability to change the plot. If you want to save Yu Niang, you have to..."
Jiang Shouyan spoke hesitantly, which made Jiang Tunan very anxious.
"What do you want to do? Just tell me."
Jiang Shouyan's expression was a little unnatural, as if what he was about to say was a little difficult to say.
"Exchange your life force for hers."
Jiang Tunan was stunned, as if he was trying hard to digest Jiang Shouyan's words.
"What do you mean, let me exchange my life for yours?"
The air was quiet for a moment, Jiang Tunan's expression became serious, and his tone was filled with determination.
"I think everyone has his or her own path to take. I respect everyone's fate. Okay, take me back. Good night."
Jiang Shouyan:...
Jiang Shouyan was speechless and started to explain.
"It's not that I'm going to kill you, but I'm just going to drain a little bit of your vitality. You'll become listless for a while, but you'll recover after a while."
Jiang Tunan turned around like Pan Zhoudan and changed the subject.
"Well, I think sometimes we should intervene in the fate of others. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."
Jiang Shouyan:...
"Have you really thought it through? The process of extracting life force is very painful. Are you willing to endure this pain just for a powerless orphan girl?"
"Okay, then I won't save you."
Jiang Tunan nodded after hearing the advice. Since Jiang Shouyan said it so painfully, she should back off a little.
Jiang Shouyan:?
"No, you won't hold on any longer?"
Jiang Tunan: "I won't insist."
Jiang Shouyan: "Hold on for a while."
Jiang Tunan: "No."
Jiang Shouyan: "Please, hold on."
Jiang Tunan smiled calmly.
"Since you've said that, I'll make the sacrifice reluctantly."
Jiang Shouyan: No...
It was Jiang Tunan who said he wanted to save Yu Niang at the beginning, but now I am the one begging Jiang Tunan to save her.
"Tell me what you want me to do."
Jiang Shouyan walked closer to Jiang Tunan and placed her hand on Jiang Tunan's forehead. She lowered her head and softly recited in a language that Jiang Tunan could not understand.
I saw many words appearing around Jiang Shouyan, and they were wrapped around her arms, waist and thighs like chains. A long whip made up of those golden words appeared behind her. In just a moment, the golden whip was lashed towards Jiang Shouyan.
"Jiang Shouyan, behind you!"
Jiang Tunan saw clearly the words that bound Jiang Shouyan, and the sound of those words rang faintly in his ears.
[You are not welcome in the Xiao Mansion.]
[Sister Shouyan, I didn’t mean it, but your maid is really protective of her.]
[Miss Jiang, please stop pestering my brother. He won’t like you, and I don’t like you either.]
[You should do what you deserve, so forget about it, female students.]
[How can a country girl like you compare with my little cousin? Get out of here while I am not angry.]
[It is ridiculous for a mere firefly to attempt to compete with the sun and the moon.]
"I'm fine, go ahead."
Jiang Tunan's vision gradually became blurred. She had no idea whether Jiang Shouyan was hit by the whip. The voice in her ears faded away, and the pain in her heart surged again.
Oh my god, Jiang Shouyan didn’t heal her wound quickly this time.
"Fourth Young Master, I beg you to save the young lady."
Jiang Tunan gradually regained consciousness. The first thing she heard was Chunhua's crying. Then she heard another man's voice in the room.
"I'm convinced. Go get the doctor."
It sounded like Xiao Mingrui's voice. How come he was here too?
Wait?! He said he wanted to call a doctor. If he called a doctor, wouldn't everyone in the mansion know that she had attempted suicide in her room?
"Wait a minute, ouch~"
Jiang Tunan felt sore all over his body as soon as he moved, and he felt as if he had just run 800 meters.
"Miss!"
Chunhua slid to Jiang Tunan's bedside, her eyes full of concern.
"What happened?"
Why is Xiao Mingrui in her room!
Jiang Tunan sat up with Chunhua's help and leaned weakly against the head of the bed.
"Miss, please tell me who assassinated you. I will avenge you!"
Jiang Tunan: How should I tell you this?
Xiao Mingrui picked up the hairpin on the ground, looked at the mechanism on it and said thoughtfully,
"This should be the murder weapon. This hairpin looks familiar. I think I've seen it somewhere..."
"It does look familiar, because that is my hairpin."
Jiang Tunan spoke timidly, and when she looked up, her eyes met Xiao Mingrui's.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"Where did you get this hairpin, cousin?"
"Uh, this was given to me by my cousin Mingli."
Seeing Xiao Mingrui tightly grasping the hairpin, Jiang Tunan said softly,
"Why is cousin Mingrui in my room?"
Xiao Mingrui looked at the servant next to him, and Chunhua said,
"Miss, I was guarding the yard, but I rushed in and said I smelled a strong smell of blood. Then when we entered, we saw you lying on the dressing table covered in blood."
Jiang Tunan: I was careless. I guess I should burn charcoal next time.
No, there won’t be a next time.
"Because it's getting late now, I have no choice but to ask for help from the Fourth Young Master who hasn't rested yet."
Chunhua held Jiang Tunan's hand aggrievedly.
"Miss, who hurt you? Let's go find the master tomorrow and let him make the decision for you."
Xiao Mingrui stood beside Jiang Tunan's bed, his eyes revealing a hint of worry. The murderer must have very good martial arts skills, as he was able to sneak into Jiang Tunan's yard quietly under Jiang Tunan's nose.
"Um, this, that, do you believe me when I say I stabbed myself?"
The other three people in the room were silent, and then they spoke.
Chunhua: "Miss, you won't be scared silly, will you?"
Convinced: "Is it some kind of evil magic?"
Xiao Mingrui looked at the hairpin in his hand and said puzzledly,
"Why?"
Jiang Tunan suddenly realized that he really couldn't explain this behavior, and could only stammer and remain speechless.
"Cousin, do you have any unspeakable secrets?"
For some reason, at this moment Jiang Tunan had an inexplicable sense of familiarity with Xiao Mingrui in front of him, but Jiang Tunan just couldn't remember where this sense of familiarity came from.
"I don't know why I was attacked. Maybe I offended someone recently."
