In order to survive, she forced herself to have a happy ending with the yandere villain.

The disturbance had subsided, and the girl in blue was taken to the second floor of the inn.

Gu Chaomu watched their retreating figures, and couldn't help but feel curious.

Judging from their words, it seems they have a grudge against Leader Qiao.

He glanced at Qiao Wanwan, who was being cared for by the maid, and immediately knew that Qiao Wanwan was completely unaware of her father's affairs.

He could only grab the old shopkeeper beside him to find out what was going on.

"who are they?"

"Who?"

"Play dumb and pretend you're deaf, do you still want your inn?"

"No, I'll tell you now."

"That young lady is the daughter of Qin Huaishen, who ran for the position of leader of the alliance back then. She has a small grudge against Leader Qiao. She is just a little girl. I don't know where she got the news that the leader of the alliance would come to Anqi City, so she came to Anqi City several days in advance and has been looking for the leader of the alliance."

When Qiao Wanwan and the others heard this news, Chunxia, ​​who was standing next to her, couldn't help but get angry.

The young lady was terrified just now because of him.

Spring and Summer angrily stepped forward and berated the old shopkeeper.

"Well, you old bastard. You really are no good, actually betraying my identity as a young lady."

"I'm at my wit's end. That young lady is very difficult to deal with. If I don't speak up, she might really tear down my inn."

"That despicable old man, does that give him the right to disrespect my young lady?"

In spring and summer, they roll up their sleeves and are ready to fight.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't do it!"

The old shopkeeper was so frightened that he hid behind the servant.

Chunxia was also stopped by Qiao Wanwan, and Chunxia looked indignant.

"Miss, please don't stop Chunxia. I need to teach him a lesson. Otherwise, he won't even know right from wrong."

"No, he's an old man. We'd be in trouble if he tried to scam us."

"Ok."

Spring and Summer, reminded by the young lady, reluctantly withdrew her hand.

Qiao Wanwan said to Gu Chaomu, seemingly unintentionally:

"Alas! This inn is surrounded by dangers, there's no need to stay here."

"... "

Gu Chaomu knew, of course, that the other person was reminding her, and she felt somewhat unwilling.

His well-thought-out plan…

He said with a hint of negotiation:

"Wanwan, we're staying here so the Alliance Leader will know as soon as he arrives. If you're scared, I can protect you and I will absolutely not let you get hurt in the slightest."

“But Wanwan has already made up her mind to stay at an inn outside. If Brother Gu insists on staying here, Wanwan will not force him. Wanwan will just take Chunxia to stay elsewhere.”

"How can you do that? The Qin family might be lying in ambush outside. Without Brother Gu's protection, wouldn't it be even more dangerous?"

"... "

right!

However, Qiao Wanwan still couldn't live here; it was even more dangerous.

Based on past behavior, Gu Chaomu wouldn't always be able to protect her, the supporting female character.

Therefore, she chose to stay away to protect herself, which was safer.

Neither of them would give in, and both remained silent about their attitudes.

Just as the atmosphere became tense, the man who had been listening for a long time without interrupting coughed lightly.

"Cough cough."

"Why don't you move into Xie's house?"

"!!"

Everyone was slightly surprised when they heard Xie Ze's voice.

My gaze fell upon him.

"The Xie family is the city lord's mansion of Anqi City, and no one will intrude or disturb us. You can stay here as guests of the Xie family and rest assured until Alliance Leader Qiao arrives."

From the perspective of the young master, Zhong Shi, the butler, saw that the tips of his ears were slightly red and his fists were lowered as he extended an invitation with his red lips.

My heart is filled with emotion:

The young master actually invited his friends from the martial arts world to his home!

Is this a sign that she's slowly starting to understand?

The master will be very happy when he finds out.

Gu Chaomu was secretly delighted.

How could he have forgotten that Xie Ze was still around!

I've always wanted to visit his house and ask for some miraculous medicine.

Isn't this a great opportunity?

You can also meet Xie Zhentian, the lord of Anqi City and a seasoned veteran of the martial arts world.

However, Qiao Wanwan was also surprised at first, but when she saw Xie Ze's face turn slightly shy, and then looked at Gu Chaomu's happy expression, she was surprised.

He immediately stopped finding it strange, and the shocked expression on his face gradually disappeared.

Qiao Wanwan thought to herself:

Xie Ze probably didn't want to see Gu Chaomu in a difficult position, and he could also spend more time with the male lead...

She could only secretly clapp her hands and sigh, "They really are a pair of best buddies."

Xie Ze, who was being stared at by Qiao Wanwan, looked even more uncomfortable.

He raised his amorous eyes, his long eyelashes meeting the woman's eyes and causing her to tremble slightly.

He quickly shifted his gaze to Gu Chaomu, a thin smile playing on his lips as he asked:

"how?"

"Of course, thank you for your invitation, Brother. I would be honored to accept."

Xie Ze smiled slightly, then fixed his gaze on Qiao Wanwan again.

Gu Chaomu also helped to inquire:

"Wanwan, what do you think? Once we get to the City Lord's Mansion, neither of us will have to worry about being disturbed by the Qin family. This way, we can be safer while waiting for Alliance Leader Qiao these next few days."

"... "

“Miss, this is a good idea. The Xie family can be considered a prominent family in the martial arts world, and we are also friends of Young Master Xie, so they won't treat us unfairly.”

this…

Qiao Wanwan felt somewhat worried and hesitant.

Although it's safe, Xie Ze is, after all, the villain who killed the female supporting character.

She was still a little worried; could it be a trap?

Could it be like in the story, where she is ruthlessly murdered by Xie Ze at the Xie family home...?

Xie Ze seemed to sense the woman's distrust of him; his eyes darkened slightly, and he felt inexplicably sad.

He sighed inwardly, his eyes meeting Qiao Wanwan's solemnly as he made his promise in front of everyone.

"Miss Qiao, please rest assured, I will not let anything happen to you in the Xie family. Once Alliance Leader Qiao arrives, I will immediately send someone to inform you."

"!!"

This was the first time Qiao Wanwan had heard the villain speak so seriously, and she was immediately delighted.

I inexplicably believed him.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course, Xie guarantees it with his own life."

Qiao Wanwan's eyes flashed, sparkling like stars.

Wow! That's incredible.

The villain actually risked his life to vouch for it!

Why are you still hesitating?

Of course I agree.

Qiao Wanwan's rosy cheeks immediately lit up, revealing her white teeth and a sweet smile.

"Thank you for the invitation, young master. How could I refuse? Let's go."

"... "

After receiving Qiao Wanwan's consent, Xie Ze was slightly taken aback. Looking at the woman's joyful face, his heart warmed instantly.

A genuine smile spread across his face.

"Well, let's go."

A group of people left the inn and walked along a wide road.

Finally, it stopped outside the imposing and majestic gate of the Xie family.

The guards standing at the Xie family's gate were all taken aback when they saw Steward Zhong on horseback.

It must be the young master returning.

They hurried forward, and before they even saw the person, they respectfully said:

"Welcome back to the manor, young master and Steward Zhong."

"No need for formalities. Young Master has invited some chivalrous heroes from the martial arts world to be our guests. You should go in first and tell Mei Niang to arrange a guest room for the two of them."

Both guards stared wide-eyed as a young lady from a prominent family stepped out of the carriage behind them, their hearts filled with even greater shock.

The young master actually invited martial arts heroes, and one of them was a young lady!

This is terrible! We must go in and report to the master immediately.

...

The space inside the pharmacy in the mansion was neither too big nor too small.

Inside, on the wooden walls are many samples of the corpses of the Five Poisons, which have been specially treated and have not completely rotted. There are also many herbal paintings on Xuan paper.

On the left wall are many cold weapons, swords, spears and whips, all with traces of dark red rust.

Against the wall and on the ground, there were all sorts of low, enclosed iron cages, stacked on top of each other. They occasionally made a "thump-thump" sound.

The other wall, however, was lined with rows and rows of medicine cabinets, which was much more harmonious than the first two walls.

The most obvious feature is in the center, where a white jade bed is placed, and the sunlight shining through the window even makes it glow with a blue light.

The four corners were tethered to the handcuffs by chains, which, like weapons, were covered in a dark red color and gleamed with a chilling aura.

Suddenly, a scorpion appeared on the jade bed, crawling on the cold surface.

They encountered another adversary.

A green snake moved slowly, its serpentine movements revealing its true nature, and then bit down on the scorpion.

The scorpion showed no mercy, hooking its tail and stabbing at the snake's eye, which was twice its own size.

"Sigh~"

The snake coiled its body around the scorpion, biting down relentlessly.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man dressed in deep purple robes appeared on the jade bed. He slowly squatted down, his peach blossom eyes, just like Xie Ze's, staring intently at the battle between the snake and the scorpion.

He frowned, stroking his short beard, and said with displeasure:

"The scorpion venom is clearly not enough; we need to cultivate it again!"

Suddenly, the voices of guards came from outside.

"Master, the young master is back."

"what?"

A light shone in the middle-aged man's eyes. He stood up straight excitedly and exclaimed with delight:

"My son is finally back!"
