Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

Tao Jiuxi was frightened by Ji Qingyi's aggressive behavior, and her heart instantly jumped into her throat. She was filled with fear, really afraid that Ji Qingyi would hurt Shen Zhiyi in a rage.

"Brother Yi, don't do it!"

As soon as she finished her anxious words, she didn't care about anything else. She got off the bed in a panic and stood in front of Shen Zhiyi resolutely.

At this moment, she was wearing conservative underwear, but she didn't care about her image at all.

Seeing this, Shen Zhiyi frowned and pulled Tao Jiuxi behind him without hesitation. However, his action was like a fuse, instantly igniting Ji Qingyi's anger.

Ji Qingyi's eyes were wide open with anger. He grabbed Tao Jiuxi's other arm and pulled her towards him with force.

Shen Zhiyi was afraid of accidentally hurting Tao Jiuxi, so he had no choice but to let go of his hand.

In this way, Tao Jiuxi was steadily pulled behind Ji Qingyi.

"Qingyi, this is all my fault. Before I fell in love with Ah Xi, I really didn't know she was engaged to you."

"Well, now you know!" Ji Qingyi's voice was full of anger.

"I can't live without her now." Shen Zhiyi's words were full of affection and helplessness.

"What about me? Am I going to lose her inexplicably?" Tao Jiuxi's arm was tightly grasped by Ji Qingyi, and he could not move.

At this moment, he was extremely excited and almost out of control.

Tao Jiuxi was pulled so hard that he couldn't help but let out a hiss.

"Don't pull her like that, you're hurting her." Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but yell, his voice revealing a hint of anxiety and dissatisfaction.

When Ji Qingyi heard this, he loosened his hand unconsciously as if he had been scalded.

He was annoyed. He was really blinded by anger just now. His resentment made him completely unaware of the strength in his hands.

But seeing Shen Zhiyi defending Tao Jiuxi, the anger in his heart seemed to be poured with oil, and it burned even more fiercely. The anger rushed in his chest and surged to his forehead.

"Take back your concern, Shen Zhiyi!"

He thrust the sword in his hand forward suddenly, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at Shen Zhiyi, as if he wanted to vent all his anger on Shen Zhiyi through the sword.

The sword cut through the air, making a low "woooo" sound, as if adding a touch of solemnity to the tense atmosphere.

"Ayi, be careful."

When Tao Jiuxi saw this, she turned pale with shock, but she didn't dare to speak too loudly and attract others.

Shen Zhiyi, however, was like a towering mountain, motionless, standing quietly in the distance, looking at Ji Qingyi with firm eyes, without any intention of retreating, facing Ji Qingyi's anger and sword calmly.

"Qingyi, I'm sorry for you, but I can't lose Ah Xi."

Just as the tip of the sword was about to touch Shen Zhiyi's body, Ji Qingyi roared, "Shen Zhiyi, why do you treat me like this?"

Although there was anger in his words, the sword in his hand hesitated for a moment.

The next moment, he turned his wrist, and with a nimble and swift movement, he flipped the sword and slammed the hilt down hard on Shen Zhiyi's shoulder. After all, his long-standing brotherhood with Shen Zhiyi was not fake, and even in his rage, he couldn't bear to actually hurt Shen Zhiyi.

There was a dull "bang" sound, Shen Zhiyi groaned, staggered backward, and took two steps back in panic before he could barely steady himself.

Seeing this, Tao Jiuxi became extremely anxious and immediately rushed to Shen Zhiyi's side.

When her hand touched Shen Zhiyi's shoulder, she felt something sticky on her hand. Her heart sank suddenly and a bad premonition came to her mind.

"Are you bleeding?" Tao Jiuxi asked in a trembling voice.

"What?" Ji Qingyi's voice was a little doubtful, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

He immediately walked quickly to the candlestick, lit the candle, and the dim candlelight flickered in the room.

In the candlelight, they clearly saw that the clothes on Shen Zhiyi's shoulders were soaked with blood, and the bright red blood was constantly seeping out, staining the clothes red.

"Brother Yi, I'm sorry, it's our fault, but could you please not do it?"

Tao Jiuxi's tears welled up in her eyes, and the tears kept sliding down her cheeks like beads with broken strings. Her eyes were already red and swollen from crying, like two ripe peaches, full of pleading and pain.

When Ji Qingyi saw her like this, he felt a sharp pain in his heart and was filled with distress.

"I, I used the hilt..." Ji Qingyi explained in a panic, and the sword in his hand dropped unconsciously.

"Ah Xi, it wasn't Qingyi who hurt me. It's okay." Shen Zhiyi comforted Tao Jiuxi. He endured the pain and stretched out his other arm, trying to pull Ji Qingyi to sit down: "Qingyi, sit down first. Let's talk, okay?"

When they were at the border, they had been together every day, and although there were disagreements during their time, they were always able to calm down and talk things over in the end. Although this matter was different from the past, Shen Zhiyi still hoped to be frank with Ji Qingyi and make things clear.

Ji Qingyi simply waved Shen Zhiyi's hand away, then reached out and roughly tore open Shen Zhiyi's clothes. When the corner of the clothes was pulled open, a knife wound came into view, blood was slowly oozing out, and the wound did not look fresh.

When Tao Jiuxi saw this scene, her face turned pale. Without saying a word, she turned around and searched around the house for the medicine Xue Yunmeng gave her.

Ji Qingyi looked down at Shen Zhiyi, his eyes filled with both anger and worry. He couldn't help but scold, "Stupid! Why didn't you hide when you were hurt? Your current methods are really inferior. You can't even protect yourself, and you still come here to stir up trouble."

Although his words were full of reproach, the slightly trembling voice revealed his deep concern for Shen Zhiyi.

Shen Zhiyi smiled bitterly: "Some things cannot be avoided."

At this moment, Tao Jiuxi found the hemostatic powder. She looked up at the bloody wound, a trace of fear flashing across her face, but she immediately took a deep breath, suppressed her fear, and only thought about treating Shen Zhiyi's wound as soon as possible.

"Ayi, why are you injured?" Tao Jiuxi asked in a crying voice while opening the package of medicine powder.

"The other day, we were attacked by a large group of assassins. I chased them out of the city and haven't been able to properly handle it yet." Shen Zhiyi's eyes flashed with a serious look as he explained briefly. But he didn't say anything more, because he knew that this matter involved confidentiality and could not be easily disclosed.

Just as Tao Jiuxi's hand was about to touch Shen Zhiyi's clothes, Ji Qingyi grabbed it.

"I come."

Ji Qingyi spoke in a stiff tone, taking the medicine bottle from Tao Jiuxi. He opened the bottle cap without any gentleness, as if venting his emotions, and sprinkled handfuls of powder on Shen Zhiyi's wound.

The moment the powder fell and touched the wound, Shen Zhiyi frowned slightly, but did not make a sound.

Just when Shen Zhiyi and Tao Jiuxi thought the tense atmosphere had finally eased, Ji Qingyi looked at Shen Zhiyi coldly and said firmly, "I believe you didn't know about this before, but don't come here again. Let's sort out the dispute between you today. I won't pursue it in the future."

His voice echoed in the silent room, and every word was like a heavy stone, hitting the hearts of the two people.

After saying that, Ji Qingyi placed the medicine bottle heavily on the table beside him.

Just as Shen Zhiyi was about to speak, he heard Ji Qingyi continue, "If you say that again today, get out now."
