Chapter 3683: Sword Fighting Across the Realm (22)
She was forced to do this, yet her most beloved father was treating her like this. Qin Nianzhi simply couldn't hold back her tears.
It seemed Qin Nianzhi was going to shed all the tears of her lifetime right here.
They hadn't even gotten together yet and she was already crying like this. There would be plenty of sadomasochistic deep love in the future. The tears shed today are the water that entered the brain yesterday.
Ning Shu still didn't understand exactly what Qin Nianzhi felt wronged about. She wanted to throw herself into Situ Xun's embrace, yet insisted on finding so many excuses for herself.
Ning Shu said, "Do not be afraid. Even if I am poisoned, I can detoxify it. There are so many divine physicians in the martial world, and I can also go to the Divine Physician Valley. It is merely a poison, it is not that terrifying. Moreover, I am not poisoned."
"No one in the martial arts world can undo my poison. It is special," Situ Xun said.
Ning Shu: →_→
You just talk too much.
Tricking an ignorant young girl like Qin Nianzhi was easy. Furthermore, these two people already had intentions toward each other, so having such an excuse made them hit it off instantly.
"I am sorry, Senior Brother. I cannot bring myself to let you die, Senior Brother," Qin Nianzhi said with her eyes closed. Finally, she knelt in front of Qin Song, kowtowed heavily with loud thud, thud, thud sounds, and said while crying, "Father, your daughter is unfilial."
"Qin Nianzhi." Qin Song closed his eyes. She clearly knew that leaving with Situ Xun meant a hellish life from now on, so why was she still so foolishly following him?
He couldn’t even begin to imagine how his daughter's affairs would be fabricated by the martial world gossipmongers in the future—a romantic scandal of the martial world.
Qin Nianzhi got up from the ground and slowly walked toward Situ Xun. Situ Xun wore a smile on his face.
Perhaps in Qin Nianzhi's heart, her eldest senior brother was someone who, in order to possess her, loved her enough to even choose dying from poison. Even if poisoned, he still wanted to marry her. He was someone who loved her deeply. To repay her eldest senior brother, she was willingly sacrificing herself for his life.
The people present were all experienced figures who traveled the martial world. They successively revealed looks of disdain, their hearts as clear as mirrors, then looked at the dumbfounded Ning Shu with full sympathy and schadenfreude.
Sensing the gazes of the surrounding people, Ning Shu merely let out a ‘hehe’ in her heart. Using this method to shake off Qin Nianzhi was even better. If she were the one to dump the betrothed she had been engaged to for over ten years, the hat of a massive scumbag would be forcibly placed on her head.
He had repeatedly stated he wasn't poisoned, and even if he was, he wasn't afraid. Yet even under Qin Song's threat of severing their father-daughter relationship, it couldn't change Qin Nianzhi gracefully fluttering toward Situ Xun.
Please do not affect my becoming tall, rich, and handsome; do not affect my holding a sword at the edge of the world; do not affect my practicing medicine to help the world.
Every step Qin Nianzhi took was extremely difficult. Step by step, she arrived in front of Situ Xun and said fiercely, "Situ Xun, I hate you."
"Whether you hate me or not, I simply do not care. Anyway, from now on, you are my slave. You will atone for your mother's sins." Situ Xun didn't shy away in the slightest. He immediately wrapped his arm around Qin Nianzhi's waist.
Qin Nianzhi's face flushed crimson. She struggled vigorously, which pulled at her wound, causing a pang of pain in her chest.
"Hehe…" A crisp female voice rang out. A woman wearing a red robe walked out, arrived beside Ning Shu, and said, "Chong Xuefeng, are you an idiot? Regardless of whether you are poisoned or not, she is going to leave with the people of the demonic cult. No matter how much you try to keep her, it is useless."
Ning Shu looked at the girl. Her hair was combed into a high ponytail hanging down her back. She wore a simple women's riding outfit, with a soft whip tied around her waist, looking exceptionally valiant and heroic.
"Who are you?" Ning Shu asked. Could it be that she had a grudge against Qin Nianzhi? Tearing off the fig leaf so directly was truly… satisfying.
"I am Yin Nanlian, a disciple of Lingyun Manor," Yin Nanlian said straightforwardly. "You cannot get married today because your junior sister never intended to marry you at all. Because she has a secret affair with someone from the demonic cult. Tell me, are you an idiot or not?"
Ning Shu: …
Sister, although it is the truth, you do not need to call me an idiot either.
Seeing a woman pop out of nowhere and speak so harshly, Qin Nianzhi instantly bit her lip and asked Ning Shu, "Eldest Senior Brother, do you know her?"
"You are my person now, yet you still have the mind to care about others." Situ Xun pulled Qin Nianzhi's waist closer.
Ning Shu: Eww, why has the whole world turned green?
"I do not know her. Junior Sister, there is still time to turn back now," Ning Shu said.
"Situ Xun, the antidote." Qin Nianzhi bit her lip, demanded the antidote from Situ Xun, and then said to Ning Shu, "Senior Brother, I do not want you to die. I want you to live, live well."
Situ Xun bared his teeth in a grin, took out the porcelain bottle, and tossed it directly toward Ning Shu. Ning Shu made no move to catch the bottle. The bottle fell to the ground and shattered at once, and pills rolled out from inside.
She absolutely wouldn't eat it. She wasn't poisoned before, but if she ate the pills, she might actually be poisoned. It would be strange if Situ Xun let him off.
Possessiveness made Situ Xun find him an eyesore, especially since he was Qin Nianzhi's betrothed.
"Senior Brother?" Seeing Ning Shu act this way, Qin Nianzhi was utterly shocked. "Eldest Senior Brother, what are you doing? Nothing is more important than your own life."
What did her grievance and sacrifice amount to then?
"Haha…" Yin Nanlian couldn't help but laugh and speak to Qin Nianzhi with some sarcasm. "Clearly you are the one leaving with another man, abandoning your own betrothed, and embarrassing your betrothed at the wedding banquet, yet you still put on this appearance. Qin Nianzhi, you are still as hypocritical as ever."
"This is between my senior brother and me. What does it have to do with you?" Qin Nianzhi said with red eyes.
"Because I delight in Chong Xuefeng. Do not misunderstand, I had favorable feelings for Chong Xuefeng, but upon knowing he had a betrothed, I gave up and had absolutely no association with him. Now that you are leaving with another man yourself, I am going to marry Chong Xuefeng," Yin Nanlian said very, very bluntly.
The martial arts figures present all looked toward the direction of Lingyun Manor’s leader. The sect leader of Lingyun Manor stroked his beard, coughed awkwardly, and said, "A son-in-law like this is not bad either. My maternal grandson will definitely be handsome and spirited."
He was speaking of a maternal grandson when nothing was even done yet. This old man was truly unreliable, and he wasn't even afraid of offending Wanjian Manor. Everyone muttered in their hearts one after another.
Ning Shu blinked. Sure enough, children of the martial world didn't bother with trivialities. Now a woman who admired Chong Xuefeng had suddenly popped out, yet Chong Xuefeng had no impression of this woman in his memories. Just as Yin Nanlian had said, she gave up upon knowing the other party had a betrothed.
Ning Shu had previously wondered why Chong Xuefeng, who was after all a young man with passable character and martial arts, didn't have a single girl who liked him.
It was likely because he had a betrothed, which automatically isolated him from the peach blossoms of romance.
Yin Nanlian was also tactful and didn't thrust herself in front of Chong Xuefeng. She only popped out now, probably because she felt there was an opportunity, and she could conveniently vent some anger for her sweetheart.
Ning Shu: I like her.
Hearing Yin Nanlian say she delighted in her eldest senior brother and betrothed, Qin Nianzhi's feelings turned very complicated.
