I was reborn after cheating on the aloof and powerful man.

Chapter 184 Sweetheart

Fei Xi walked past Qiu Shuying to Bian Yuan, who was hanging up and whose body was in a terrible state, and circled around him.

His expression gradually shifted from initial disgust to confusion, and he looked at Qiu Shuying with a hesitant gaze.

Qiu Shuying's expression shifted as Fei Xi acted. Seeing a hint of resentment still lingering in the girl's confusion, she lightly touched her red lips, winked charmingly at Bian Yuan, and asked, feigning ignorance:

"Hmm? Sect Leader Bian, when did you offend my dear sister?"

When asked, Bian Yuan's expression changed slightly the moment he saw Fei Xi, but he had already regained his usual cold arrogance.

He pursed his lips tightly at Qiu Shuying's question, remaining silent. He only glanced at Qiu Shuying with a cold, icy look, as if she were a dead person.

The next second, another whip mark appeared on his body.

The whip whistled as it tore through the air, carrying a faint smell of rust.

When the whip cracked for the third time, Fei Xi's voice interrupted the abuser's outburst.

"Sister, why isn't he dead yet, even though he's been stabbed in the chest like that?"

"Does your sister really want him dead?" Qiu Shuying toyed with the leather whip in her hand, her gaze shifting back and forth between Fei Xi and Bian Yuan. She had heard that the ruthless Bian Yuan had almost mistakenly killed the disciple of this righteous man in front of her because of the leak of the Tianshan secret technique.

"Hmph, this Lord of Tianshan tried to kill me without even asking what happened. If my master hadn't known him, I would never have let him go, and I would have sought revenge sooner or later!"

"It was just a coincidence this time. I happened to save his life in order to deal with this immortal man."

Fei Xi grew increasingly displeased and, turning to Bian Yuan, retorted sarcastically:

"You Tianshan people aren't going to repay kindness with enmity and deny your promise again this time, are you?"

What do you want this time?

With a hoarse voice and an unquestionable tone, he acknowledged the so-called favor.

Fei Xi was momentarily stumped by the question and lowered her head to think.

Hearing their conversation, Qiu Shuying's eyes lit up. The stubborn boy, who had remained silent no matter how she tortured him, had finally spoken.

Upon hearing Bian Yuan agree to repay his debt of gratitude, Qiu Shuying, who was still fixated on her own desires, could no longer contain herself and blurted out:

"What kind of medicine does your Tianshan sect use to control its servants to remain loyal and never betray them? Sect Leader Bian, if you hand over the items and promise never to lay a hand on me again, I will not only let you leave, but I can also tell you the whereabouts of someone."

"My promises are only valid for those who have been kind to me."

The cold voice rejected the request decisively without any room for negotiation.

Rejected, Qiu Shuying became enraged and embarrassed. Always willful and unrestrained, she completely disregarded the man's previous warnings and seduced him with a charming and alluring tone:

"Don't you really want to know where your sweetheart is?"

The response to Qiu Shuying was a chilling murderous aura.

"What do you know! No matter what you know, I warn you, and those behind you, in the name of the Lord of Tianshan, that there are some things that are absolutely not for you to touch!"

The surging killing intent was almost tangible, and the air in the entire sealed room instantly froze. It was as if an invisible hand was choking Qiu Shuying, making her feel a fear that made it impossible for her to breathe, and her body trembled involuntarily.

Overwhelmed with fear, she grew increasingly enraged. Gripping the whip tightly, her eyes were filled with malice and resentment as she stared at Bian Yuan.

How dare a prisoner threaten her like this!

"There's a drug in Tianshan that can control people? No wonder..."

The sudden sound broke the tense standoff between the two. Fei Xi seemed to have just snapped out of her reverie, her gaze towards Qiu Shuying becoming serious:

“Sister, I can’t think of anything the Lord of Tianshan could give me. Why don’t I ask him what this medicine you mentioned is all about? But I’ll help you on one condition: in exchange, there’s something I hope you can help me find.”

"Oh? Tell me what it is first?"

Qiu Shuying did not immediately agree. Even though the situation had taken a turn for the better, and the girl seemed sincere and frank, she was unwilling to relinquish the initiative.

"I need the Heavenly Treasure Flower. My master has been poisoned by the Golden Crow Scorpion and needs the Heavenly Treasure Flower to cure him."

"Tianbao Flower?" Qiu Shuying was taken aback. Then, seeing the little girl's unconsciously clenched hand, a thought struck her.

What an innocent little girl.

But why should she? She's not a good person.

Chiu Shu-ying deliberately feigned difficulty and continued:

"This thing isn't particularly precious. If it's in bloom, it's not an uncommon treasure. The problem is, the blooming season is over now. If anyone might have a well-preserved Heavenly Treasure Flower, it would be the King of Us. But you've met the little prince of Us, he's my favorite. I've been sleeping alone every night, relying on him to warm my bed. But for my sister's sake, I'm not unwilling to part with it..."

As soon as Qiu Shuying finished speaking, Fei Xi, who was quick to respond, took over the conversation.

“Sister, I will never forget your great kindness. Master has been kind to me. As long as you help me save Master, I will do whatever you ask.”

Fei Xi looked at him with sincere gratitude, like a puppy gazing longingly. Qiu Shuying felt a ticklish sensation in her heart, as if brushed by a feather. She was unusually gentle for a moment, and when she looked at the man hanging there, her tone was flippant and arrogant:

"Sect Leader Bian, you must have heard what my sister said. You never lie, you wouldn't go back on your word, would you?"

"Get out! The secrets of Tianshan can only be heard by the people of Tianshan."

Her attitude was even more arrogant than his, and Qiu Shuying wished she could lash the man's face with the leather whip in her hand.

A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan. Suppressing her anger, knowing the temperament of the Lord of Tianshan well, she glared angrily at Bian Yuan and turned to leave the secret chamber.

Just as she stepped out of the secret room, a voice followed her footsteps out of the door.

"If anyone is eavesdropping, I won't say a word."

……

The door to the secret room was closed from the outside in. Fei Xi did not turn around, but looked up at the person in front of her with a solemn expression.

The swordsman's sword is not in his hand.

The sword piercing his heart did not affect his mood in the slightest. His hoarse voice rang out immediately after the door closed, sounding as if he were in a good mood, completely unprepared for being a prisoner on the verge of death.

"Have you thought it through? Do you really want to come back to Tianshan with me?"

He was met with a glare.

Fei Xi understood the unspoken meaning; no one was eavesdropping outside. Without further hesitation, she strode to Bian Yuan's side, took his hand, and began to take his pulse.

"I have no interest in the secrets of your Tianshan Mountains. I was just kidding her."

Upon hearing this, the secret room fell into complete silence.

In an instant, a hoarse voice, carrying a solemn tone, broke the silence between the two:

"Behave yourself and don't provoke this madwoman. She won't kill you for now, but she has many ways to torture people. Be patient and wait for a while, and someone will come to rescue you."

Releasing the other person's hand, Fei Xi instinctively reached into her bosom. The moment her hand touched her chest, she realized she had nothing left to do; there was little she could do.

She couldn't help but feel a little upset. When she looked up, the eyes reflecting her figure made no attempt to hide their concern for her.

The two stared at each other for a long time. When Fei Xi reached out her hand again, she blurted out a sentence:

"You don't care where your sweetheart is, but you care about me?"
