Chapter 59 Her Lover

"Uncle Yin!"

Having just regained a little strength, Fei Xi couldn't wait to get out of bed and run into the person's arms.

"Nonsense! Just lie down, your martial uncle can't run away."

Seeing that Xi was about to fall off the bed, Yin Zheng quickly stepped forward to support her and gave her a light tap on the head.

"Uncle-Master, where is this? Aren't I in the Crimson Tent Courtyard?"

Fei Xi smiled broadly, not even bothered by the tap on the head. Seeing a trusted elder in an unfamiliar place filled her with joy, like a fluttering bird, almost leaping for joy. Although she guessed she should be in Jiangyou, she wanted to hear the reason from her martial uncle.

Yin Zhengyi recounted to her everything that had happened after his junior apprentice fell into a coma. After a pause, seeing that his junior apprentice showed no unusual expression, he continued solemnly:

"...Although Young Master Tang saved you out of gratitude, we people don't expect anything in return for saving others, and we can't take credit for someone else's kindness. Girl, everything in this world has its cause and effect. You must remember that the Holy Maiden and Young Master Tang helped you this time, and you must not do anything to take advantage of their kindness."

"Yes, Uncle Yin, Fei Xi knows. Uncle Yin just said that you encountered assassins chasing me on the way, and Aunt said that they were ordered by the person behind Princess Ruiyun?"

Fei Xi naturally knew that the person behind Princess Ruiyun was the very culprit who caused the destruction of the Qingcheng Sect in her previous life!

It seems the grand gathering of the three religions has alerted that person, and they are now aware of her presence. Therefore, her next actions will likely not be as smooth as before.

"Although there is no direct evidence, what the Holy Maiden said makes some sense." Yin Zhengyi first answered his nephew's question, then frowned angrily and said seriously:

“You’ve been too reckless this time! Your senior uncles have repeatedly taught you that a wise person doesn’t stand under a dangerous wall. Xiao Xuan’s recklessness deserves some punishment, but if anything happens to him, the sect leader will help him. Although you are the senior sister, your senior uncles and elders have never asked you to take all the danger upon yourself!…”

Fei Xi lowered her head after being scolded, but her eyes secretly glanced towards the door. Red and green butterflies, blue and purple morpho butterflies, gold-spotted green butterflies... wait, pearl-colored... clothes? She curiously raised her head and her eyes met those of the person entering the room.

The newcomer's eyes were deep and warm like the spring sun, looking at her with gentle warmth. The moment their gaze met, she was captivated and could not look away for even a moment.

It wasn't until Yin Zhengyi coughed softly that the visitor seemed to snap out of his daze, stepped forward, bowed, and said:

"Junior Tang Huaiyi greets Elder Yin. Miss Fei, how are you?" He wanted to ask her if she was alright, or if she was still feeling unwell, but he was afraid that a barrage of questions would upset her. A thousand words lingered on his lips, finally condensing into the simplest four words: "Are you alright?"

Fei Xi's heart skipped a beat. She turned her head and saw that Uncle Yin's face was pale, clearly because he had discovered that she had been secretly daydreaming during the training.

She was in a difficult position, both sides were hard to deal with. She was panicking inside, but on the surface she remained calm and showed no signs of distress.

"Thank you for your concern, Young Master Tang. Fei Xi is much better now. I heard from Uncle Yin that someone wants to take our lives. Although Butterfly Valley is full of Gu worms, it's not without ways to help someone who wants to break in."

"Miss Fei?"

"Does Xi have any good ideas?"

Seeing that both of them were deeply engrossed in her words, Fei Xi breathed a sigh of relief and continued speaking without changing her expression:

"If it weren't for the Holy Maiden and Young Master Tang, Fei Xi would probably be dead by now. Fei Xi is eternally grateful for your life-saving grace and will repay you with her life."

“No, Miss Fei, you saved me first, I…” Tang Huaiyi’s heart tightened at her sweetheart’s formality, but she interrupted him before he could finish speaking:

"Young Master Tang, please let Fei Xi finish speaking. Although Fei Xi is now out of danger, she still needs to recuperate at the Holy Maiden's sacred ground for a period of time. If the Holy Maiden's hard work is ruined because of Fei Xi recuperating here, Fei Xi will be guilty beyond redemption. To be honest, Young Master Tang, Fei Xi has done some research on the various formations used by both sides during the Great War of Weiguo. There happens to be a formation that Fei Xi has improved and can be used to defend against enemies in Butterfly Valley."

Seeing that it was a serious matter, Tang Huaiyi immediately put aside his distracting thoughts and listened attentively to what his beloved was saying about the formation.

……

"This formation... Xi girl, you really are something!"

It was difficult to offer an evaluation, so Yin Zhengyi shook his head with amusement, only uttering half a sentence. He sighed inwardly, thinking that if anyone truly intended to harm Butterfly Valley, they would likely suffer a great loss at the valley's entrance.

"Fire generates miasma, illusion contains evil, wonderful! Miss Fei, is this an improvement on the Sumeru Yin-Yang Formation?" Tang Huaiyi pondered for a moment and understood the mystery of the formation.

“Indeed, Young Master Tang is indeed learned and talented. Sumeru reveals Yin and Yang, and myriad Gu devour heaven and earth. Array formations can create all things and also bewitch all living beings.” Fei Xi nodded in affirmation of Tang Huaiyi’s statement. At the same time, a thought flashed through her mind. It seems that Lord Tang has put a lot of effort into cultivating his successor.

At that moment, a dignified figure strode in through the door, her voice loud and clear, full of admiration:

"What a magnificent Myriad Gu Devouring Heaven Formation! Girl, I believe you. Fellow Daoist Yin, I'm afraid you can't be of much help in setting up this formation. Without further ado, I'll take Yi'er to make the preparations."

He Shenggu handed the food box to Yin Zhengyi, then pulled Tang Huaiyi, who was still looking back with reluctance, and walked out.

Time flies, and three short days passed in the blink of an eye. Fei Xi began to try pacing around the house.

She was in a coma for more than a month. Her already weak body was further weakened by this illness. After several days of nourishment, the muscles in her limbs, which had atrophied, were able to stand up a little.

She had thought this serious illness would confine her to her bedside, and might even lead to hemiplegia. Unexpectedly, her recovery far exceeded her expectations. She checked her pulse and found that her condition was even better than before she took the strong medicine.

Although she didn't know how Tang Huaiyi saved her, she knew in her heart that he must have paid a huge price to pull her back from the brink of death.

Sigh, she walked to the window and let out a deep sigh. Emotional debts are always the hardest to repay.

For the past three days, whenever he had a spare moment, Tang Huaiyi would talk to her. Thinking of the life-saving grace he had shown her, she couldn't bear to say anything heartless. The intensity in his gaze grew each day, which involuntarily stirred a sense of irritation within her.

Jiang You... she can't stay any longer.

Fei Xi pushed open the window, and outside the window, the valley was ablaze with vibrant colors. Tang Family Fortress… If she wanted to repay the debt of saving her life before leaving, she could start with Tang Family Fortress, and the biggest problem with Tang Family Fortress was its current lord, Tang Qifei.

Tang Huaiyi's father, Tang Qifei, was a remarkable figure. Under his leadership, Tang Family Fortress became a powerful and influential force, its influence covering the entire southwest region, and its strength consistently ranked among the top three martial arts families.

However, the love-hate relationship between him and his two wives has always been a topic of conversation among martial arts practitioners.

In her past life, she had also discussed this person with her lover.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Was Lord Tang killed by Princess Ruiyun while trying to save He Shenggu?"

Seeing the bolded and enlarged content in the Jianghu Gazette, she thought the gazette had been delivered to the wrong address today.

She had long heard about the grudges and feuds of the previous generation in Tangjiabao. Tang Qifei, the lord of Tangjiabao, was definitely not a sentimental person. This seemingly affectionate act of sacrificing his life for his lover was completely unlike his usual style.

"Xiao Xi, is there something wrong with this news?" A rough and unpleasant voice came from outside the door. She frowned and looked at the uninvited man.

“I don’t understand why Lord Tang would die for my aunt. If Lord Tang truly loved my aunt, he wouldn’t have repeatedly allowed Princess Ruiyun to run amok in front of her, even though he knew she had problems. And if he loved Princess Ruiyun so much, he wouldn’t have known what she wanted but never given it to her, and he wouldn’t have failed to restrain her behavior, leading her down a dead end.”

"What's so hard to understand? A prodigy like Tang Qifei, whose life has been smooth sailing, naturally seeks excitement that ordinary people can't get. Few men can resist the feelings of a woman of noble status who would give up everything to be with them. But after the excitement, he'll inevitably feel bored. That's when he'll remember how good He Shenggu is. The more indifferent He Shenggu is to him, the more he wants her to pay attention to him. He's manipulating a noble woman while also having the most sincere feelings of his youth. He just wants everything and has gone too far."

"You seem to know a lot."

Her emotionless words sent a chill down the man's spine, and he couldn't resist reaching out to grab her restless little foot. The touch was real; he was like a cunning viper tempting the woman before him.

"Human love and desire can coexist and be separated. Women can also pursue physical pleasure. Xiaoxi, you don't need to love me. As long as you are willing to accept me, I will satisfy all your desires."

The man was met with a cold snort. The woman sat at her desk, gazing at the moonlight outside the window, without even glancing at him. But her foot didn't kick him away, so he knew she hadn't rejected him.
