41. Entrusting a Life

Beneath the dim glow of the moon, a mysterious figure stood before the door. He concealed himself in garments of pure black, a sword drawn and hanging at his waist.That slave might be cunning in mind, but certainly not in martial skill. Just watch. I will sever his head. Who does he think he is, daring to poison Jia Li?Precisely so. The one muttering in silence was none other than Yang Zhi. With the key given by Physician Jia, he moved to unlock the main door of the Prisoner Medical Hall.“No need to trouble yourself.”The sudden voice nearly tore Yang Zhi’s heart from his chest. His hand froze even though the key had already entered the lock. His eyes sharpened as they fixed on another figure dressed exactly like himself.“Who are you?” Yang Zhi raised his guard, his hand tightening around the sword hilt.The mysterious man advanced slowly toward him. There was no fear in the sharp, intimidating gaze he carried.Yang Zhi felt a dense killing intent roll off the stranger. Instantly,

42. At Last, You Have Come

Why had Yang Zhi not come to see her yet? Had he changed his mind? Did he fail to kill that slave? No, no. Yang Zhi had promised her. He would definitely come. But… why was it taking so long?Physician Jia sat down again after pacing back and forth across the room. She bit her own lip, anxiety already flooding her heart.As long as Xiu Zhangjian was still alive, she would never know peace. Forget sleeping soundly at night. She could not even bring herself to lie down on her bed.How could she possibly relax under the same roof as someone who had nearly killed her? Even if Xiu Zhangjian slept like a corpse, she would still be unable to close her eyes.“Should I go and take a look outside? Maybe Yang Zhi has already crippled that cursed slave. Yes, I should go and see.”She stood up, holding on to what little hope remained. Yet before she could take a step, a strange realization crossed her mind.No. If Yang Zhi had already entered the medical hall, the first thing he would do would be

43. A Gift for Physician Jia

Physician Jia swallowed hard. Her ears had clearly caught the sound of knocking, yet when the door was opened, no one stood before her room.She gathered her courage and stepped forward once, standing at the threshold to peer outside. Her gaze dropped at once when her foot struck something.What is this?Her eyes fixed on a bundle of black cloth lying before her door. Once again, dread forced her to swallow.She looked left and right, searching for any shadow of the person who might have left it there. There was none.Physician Jia bent down and narrowed her eyes, noticing a small slip of paper resting atop the bundle. Hesitantly, she picked it up.“A gift from me to you?”Her brow furrowed as she read the characters. Slowly, the crease faded, replaced by a thin, tentative smile.Could this be from Yang Zhi?She did not know why she thought so. She had never seen Yang Zhi’s handwriting before. And yet, hope bloomed all the same.Warmth spread through her chest, as if the morning sun h

44. The Misfortune of a Guard

“Horrifying! The moment the door opened, my hair stood on end. I saw Yang Zhi’s head lying on the bed, on top of a black cloth. Its condition…”One of the guards shook his head, clearly unable to continue.Naturally, the other guards who sat frozen, listening, felt a chill crawl up their spines as well. Yet they were already in too deep. They had heard part of the story, and now desperately wanted to hear it through to the end. So they urged him on in unison.“How was it?”“Just imagine it. Yang Zhi’s eyes were blood-red, bulging as if they were about to pop out. His mouth was left wide open, as though he had been screaming in unbearable agony right before he died. And the stench of blood from his severed neck—truly… If even Physician Jia, who regularly treats people on the brink of death, fainted on the spot, then you can imagine just how gruesome Yang Zhi’s remains were.”Silence.No one responded. In each of their minds, the image of Yang Zhi’s head had already taken shape.“One th

45. A New Clue

Physician Jia’s eyes widened. She knew all too well that the damned man standing before her was right. If Yang Zhi could be killed, then it was not impossible for her to be killed as well.“Head Guard Chen, forgive me for my foolishness. At that time, someone knocked on the door of my room. I thought it was a nurse, perhaps coming to inform me of an emergency patient in the Medical Hall.”Physician Jia lied, just a little. No matter how violently her heart had been shaken, her mind was still intact. There was no way she could admit that she had believed Yang Zhi was the one knocking.“But when I opened the door, there was a bundle of black cloth on the floor. I swear by anything, I didn’t see anyone at all, sir. Then I picked it up and carried it inside. When I opened it, its contents were…”Physician Jia could not bring herself to finish the sentence. What lay inside that bundle was far too painful to be shaped into words. Only tears slipped down her cheeks once more.“And then?” Che

46. Thanking the Killer

Xiu Zhangjian’s eyes widened when he saw Chen Yufei walking toward him. His face flushed instantly, followed by a sudden, rapid pounding of his heart.How could he possibly forget the woman who had taken his first kiss?One question loomed large in Xiu Zhangjian’s mind, why didn’t he feel like vomiting? Her behavior, the Head Guard’s niece no less, had clearly crossed the strict boundaries that had always governed him. And yet, why was the strange sensation stirring inside his chest not something that triggered nausea?A hazy breath escaped Xiu Zhangjian’s lips as he recalled how he had retched uncontrollably because of Li Yingying.“Don’t, don’t, no need to sit up. Just lie back down, Brother Jian,” Chen Yufei said as she held both of Xiu Zhangjian’s arms and gently guided him back into a reclined position.Damn it. At that very moment, the gentle breeze felt as though it were caressing Xiu Zhangjian’s face. Especially when his eyes met Chen Yufei’s beautiful gaze, it felt as if some
