Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

Chapter 33: The "Bad Man" in the Imperial Examination (12)

Jiang Yihuan looked at the scenery before her. This was the kind of scene she had only just encountered since she and An Xingyi—no, Lu Xingyi, that is—met. Even in her previous life, she had mostly stayed indoors, and the only scenery she occasionally saw was the flowers, plants, and artificial hills and waterways in some mansion's garden. Of course, the Chen family had the most, but after seeing so much, she found it boring.

Lu Xingyi looked at Jiang Yihuan with an uneasy expression. He hoped that Jiang Yihuan would lose his temper instead of just looking at the lake in front of him so calmly.

"Yihuan, I'm sorry that I have hidden my identity from you for so long, but I do have my reasons. Although my father is the leader of the martial arts world, he has made many enemies over the years. Some of these disciples of the Demon Sect are even at war with my family, so I have been hiding my identity when traveling outside all these years." After saying this, Lu Xingyi looked at her changes nervously, but he didn't see the expression he wanted to see.

"Are you done?" She plucked a flower, and the juice accidentally splashed onto her delicate dress, but it didn't seem out of place, and she didn't take it to heart. Just like this dress, even if it's expensive, as long as it has a price, sooner or later she will be able to wear it.

"Don't take my mother's words to heart. I really want to marry you."

"Then can you marry me now?" Jiang Yihuan finally looked up at him.

"I will convince my mother!" Lu Xingyi grabbed her hand, but with too much force, and it obviously hurt her.

Jiang Yihuan couldn't break free, "Let go, it hurts."

Tears kept falling and her expression was painful.

Lu Xingyi quickly let go of his hand and said, "I'm sorry, Yihuan, I was impulsive." After saying that, he wanted to see what happened to Jiang Yihuan's hand, but the other party just put his hand behind his back.

"We're not from the same world. You can't even convince your mother, so why do you think I'll choose you?" Jiang Yihuan naturally wouldn't say that even if she convinced her mother, she wouldn't marry a man of the underworld to raise children. Not to mention that he still had many enemies. She didn't know martial arts, and if she was left alone, she would be dead without a burial place.

What she wanted was supremacy, not just a simple life of food and clothing, but also the ability to be above everyone else. Among the people she conquered, there were many princes and nobles, but it was useless because they had no say in this land.

The system said that the son with the strongest luck was Xie Baiyu, so in the end the aristocratic family was defeated by him.

After saying that, Jiang Yihuan left without looking back. Lu Xingyi didn't have the courage to chase her because he knew that what she said was right.

"Yihuan, I will convince my mother to wait for me to marry you." Lu Xing also shouted loudly.

The maids around Jiang Yihuan did not show any shock. They blinked and dared not look up, as if they were used to hearing it.

Silly child, even if you convince your mother, what does it matter? I won't really marry you. It's okay to play with people in the martial arts world, but if you really get entangled with her in the future, I will have plenty of ways to make the Lu family unlucky.

"Congratulations, host. Lu Xingyi's favorability towards you has reached 100%. Now he has finally unlocked the location of the hidden medical immortal and is locating you..."

"Great, I finally unlocked Su Xiu's location." Previously, she had only obtained clues and achievements related to the characters, but she still couldn't find the location of the valley.

Su Xiu was a key figure, a master of both medicine and poison, unparalleled in the world, yet emotionally distant. He had never heard of him, but the system claimed he was incredibly powerful, not only able to heal the dead but also highly skilled in poison techniques. It was he who saved Xie Baiyu from the poisoning.

I heard that he and Xie Baiyu had a very close relationship and even lived in his house. Even the epidemic that was rampant in the south and killed many people was easily dealt with by him. This person was the key. If she could use him, it would definitely come in handy when she was trying to capture Xie Baiyu.

If he could completely conquer him, he could even decide whether to save these people or not. Being emotionally indifferent was a sign of inexperience. The prime minister's son was also like that, and he had been conquered by him. Jiang Yihuan felt that this wasn't a very difficult task.

"It's quite close to me, but isn't this valley closed? There are secrets hidden inside." Jiang Yihuan found it a little unbelievable.

"Yes, but the entrance is special. The outer circle is filled with miasma, and the inner circle is filled with formations. The miasma is poisonous, and you will fall into coma if you inhale it. If you stay there for a long time, you will bleed from all seven orifices on the spot. The formations are also killing moves. It can be said that anyone who accidentally enters will die without a burial place." said the system.

Jiang Yihuan frowned, "Then how do I get in?"

How can I escape from this situation if I don’t even know how to defend myself?

"Don't worry, I've upgraded now. The items I can redeem in the mall are no longer just charm-related. Look, there are also detoxification pills. I'll teach you how to bypass the formation. It's not a dead end, otherwise how can the people inside get out?"

Jiang Yihuan's heart skipped a beat. She looked around the mall. Sure enough, there were a lot more items now. There were even fertility pills, twin-birth pills, longevity pills, and even a universal detoxification pill. There were also some special abilities. It seemed the system was much more powerful now. The stronger she became, the stronger the other party would become. She was dazzled by the items.

How greedy! The system felt gratified by her obsession. The more greedy, the better; that way, it would listen to her more. It was already quite powerful now, vaguely sensing the power of this small world, but it wasn't enough; it needed to replace it. If it couldn't, it would be discovered by the main system and forced to go dormant again. If it fell into some energy-poor small world, it would take who knows how many years to accumulate strength again.

"There is a killer following you." The system reminded.

"There are killers, damn it, why didn't you tell me earlier? Now that Lu Xingyi is not around, no one can save me. Who sent these people?" It's really the wrong time.

The system automatically ignored her complaint. "It was Madam Chen. Chen Xusheng told her to cancel your engagement with Chen Xuyan and said he wanted to marry you."

"This Chen Xusheng is really harmful to me. I've already said that there's no possibility for me and him. Although I do want to cancel the engagement, I don't want to marry him. The Chen family belongs to Chen Xuyan. He will at most be a rich and idle young man in the future. I don't want to live with him under Chen Xuyan's rule." These men are really no good. Each one of them only knows how to drag me down.

"What should I do now?" Jiang Yihuan knew that she would not be able to protect herself with only the few maids who knew some martial arts.

"Take advantage of their strategy and go straight into the Medicine Valley. You can just say you strayed in while being pursued."

"Good idea." Jiang Yihuan agreed.

"Stop, there are flowers over there. I want to walk around by myself. Don't follow me." Then he pretended to be very annoyed and walked away.

Several maids looked at each other, but still stayed where they were and did not follow her. They just watched quietly in the direction she left.
