Chapter 081 Young Master of Shanhe Manor
Lin Fei's face turned ashen. He was an extremely intelligent person, and in just a moment, he had already understood Ji Lianxing's thoughts.
It seems that she not only wants to confirm her guilt of colluding with her, but also wants to label herself as a "deserter".
Lin Fei could imagine what would happen if he waited until he returned to Southern Tang and the demon-slaying incident was over. Ming Ci, who already harbored resentment towards him, would say about him. At that point, since he hadn't made any significant contributions to the demon-slaying, even Yuan Yi would probably find it difficult to exonerate him.
Lin Fei guessed Ji Lianxing's thoughts, but he couldn't do anything about it. In any case, she was the one who saved his life—although she had ulterior motives, Lin Fei was not an ungrateful person.
Ji Lianxing seemed extremely pleased to see Lin Fei's discomfiture. Seeing Lin Fei's ugly expression, Ji Lianxing laughed heartily: "My dear little brother, just stay here and recover! If the righteous path can't accept you then, my door will always be open for you!"
Lin Fei's eyes twitched involuntarily a few times. He got off the bed and said, "No need, thank you for your kindness, sister. I will return to Southern Tang immediately. I will definitely repay Sister Ji's life-saving grace in the future!"
"Are you out of your mind?" Ji Lianxing's pretty face hardened as she scolded, "Although your master forcibly drew upon the power of heaven and earth to help you break through your cultivation level, the aftershocks of the battle between those two Dharma Aspect Realm experts still caused you considerable injuries. Instead of taking care of your injuries, where are you thinking of going?"
As she spoke, Ji Lianxing's hand had already touched Lin Fei's arm. Then, as if frozen in place, she stared wide-eyed in disbelief, "This... how is this possible? How could your body have fully recovered?"
Even with the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill protecting him, the aftershocks of the battle between two Dharma Aspect Realm experts would require ten to fifteen days to barely recover from such injuries. Furthermore, without careful treatment, it might leave permanent sequelae, hindering his future cultivation.
Ji Lianxing's decision to keep Lin Fei here wasn't entirely out of personal motives. She also had some consideration for him.
But to Ji Lianxing's utter astonishment, Lin Fei's body had completely returned to normal. If Ji Lianxing hadn't personally rescued Lin Fei and witnessed his Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill shattered, she would never have believed that this was someone who had suffered serious injuries.
Lin Fei's injuries were naturally repaired automatically by the system using merit points while he was unconscious.
Lin Fei silently pushed away Ji Lianxing's hand and said calmly, "My body is a little different from ordinary people. I'm fine now, thank you for your concern, sister. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
As he spoke, Lin Fei prepared to walk outside.
Just then, the door to the room was pushed open again, and a young man walked in. He was dressed in fine clothes, but his face was full of anger.
"Cousin, I heard from the servants that you came to this boy's place?" The young master's voice came from outside before he even stepped into the room: "I told you long ago, you're just too kind-hearted. You didn't even know who this person was, yet you rescued him. If he were some villain or thief, wouldn't you have just brought trouble upon yourself?"
The moment the young master entered the room, Ji Lianxing's demeanor changed drastically. Her previously alluring charm vanished, replaced by an elegant and serene air. Even Lin Fei was speechless with astonishment; it was truly breathtaking.
Lin Fei had some understanding of the Mysterious Maiden Skill of the Flying Flower Palace. He knew that this unorthodox martial art seemed to be cultivated by collecting the seven emotions and six desires of different people.
This legendary Falling Flower Mystic Maiden Technique, which can supposedly transform into three thousand forms and be omnipresent, is indeed extraordinary. If I hadn't opened my eyes, I probably wouldn't have been able to discover Ji Lianxing's true identity.
"Cousin!" Ji Lianxing's demeanor changed, and she said sweetly to the young master, "The Buddhists say that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. How could I stand by and watch the young Taoist priest faint on the ground?"
"You are just too kind-hearted!" The young master looked at Ji Lianxing with eyes full of admiration and pity: "I'm afraid that because of your kindness, you might be taken advantage of by some unscrupulous people!"
The person with ill intentions he was referring to was probably none other than Lin Fei, standing right in front of him.
Lin Fei was speechless and thought to himself, "You're blind! Compared to your cousin, this Daoist is truly kind!"
Ji Lianxing smiled gently and introduced to Lin Fei, "Young Taoist priest, this is my cousin, the young master of Shanhe Manor, Mo Qianshan."
Although Lin Fei inwardly despised this blind young master, he couldn't very well expose Ji Lianxing's true identity to his face. Besides, even if this blind man was completely fooled by Ji Lianxing, what did it matter to him? Ever since this guy came in, he'd acted arrogantly, which annoyed Lin Fei.
"Greetings, Young Master Mo!" Lin Fei cupped his hands in thanks to Mo Qianshan. "Thank you for saving my life, Young Master Mo and Miss."
"No need to thank me, thank God. You've had the luck of eight lifetimes. My cousin happened to find you collapsed on the ground when she went to the temple to offer incense and fulfill her vow." Mo Qianshan didn't even glance at Lin Fei, and snorted coldly, "Now that you're awake, go to the accounting office and get some silver. Let's go!"
He treated him like a beggar, speaking in a completely nonsensical manner.
Lin Fei's expression stiffened, and he said calmly, "Thank you for your kindness, Young Master. I was already planning to leave, so I won't disturb you any longer. As for the silver, please waive it!"
"Hmph, then hurry up and leave. My Shanhe Manor doesn't take in people of unknown origin!" Mo Qianshan waved his hand impatiently.
"Wait!" Just then, Ji Lianxing suddenly spoke up, "Cousin, I have some things I'd like to ask this young Taoist priest. Could I have some time alone with him?"
When Ji Lianxing spoke, her pretty face was flushed and her expression was shy, as if she really had some feelings for Lin Fei, the handsome young Taoist priest.
This is also why Lin Fei annoyed Mo Qianshan so much—this wretched little Taoist priest was simply too good-looking. If he were a burly, slovenly Taoist priest, Mo Qianshan, as the young master of Shanhe Manor, wouldn't bother with him.
Seeing that his beloved cousin seemed to genuinely have some affection for this despicable Taoist priest, Mo Qianshan was so angry at the Taoist priest that he wanted to grind his teeth.
Seeing the fire practically spitting from Mo Qianshan's eyes, Lin Fei was speechless, thinking to himself, "My dear Sister Ji, you're really pushing your little brother into a fire pit!"
