I'm badly injured, but I'm number one

Chapter 224 The Box is in Hand (4000 words in this chapter, 2 in 1)

Zhu Zhizhi stared at her empty palms, then looked at Yu Tianhong's relieved expression, and almost exploded with anger.

She looked reluctant just now, and if she didn't like it, she could just leave, but he just took it and snatched it directly from her hand, leaving her no time to react.

The moonlight on the top of the mountain was bright, casting shadows of the two people. From a distance, it looked like a beautiful story under the moon.

But looking closely, one had a face as gloomy as if water could drip from it, while the other had a look of relief, as if he had avoided a disaster.

After Yu Tianhong took the things, seeing that Zhu Zhizhi was still not leaving, he said with a vigilant look on his face, "I've got the things, what else do you want to do?"

"If you want me to tell you something, just tell me now."

Zhu Zhizhi almost made him laugh out of anger. Anyway, the things had already been delivered and there was someone following behind, so she had nothing else to say.

A sweet smile appeared on her face. "No more. Goodbye, Senior Brother Yu."

After Zhu Zhizhi finished speaking, she turned around and left without any reluctance. From her back, it seemed that she did not hesitate at all.

But Yu Tianhong did not relax his vigilance. Instead, he waited until Zhu Zhizhi left the top of the mountain before he relaxed.

He raised his hand to wipe the non-existent sweat from his head, then looked at the empty scenery around him, feeling a little puzzled.

"Senior Rufeng, where are you?"

Only then did Ji Heyu appear behind him with a thoughtful look on his face.

Yu Tianhong turned around and saw him raising the box in his hand with obvious disgust on his face.

"Senior Rufeng, what do you want this box for?"

If Ji Heyu hadn't asked him, he would never accept this thing even if he was beaten to death.

Ji Heyu looked up at the box in Yu Tianhong's hand. It was no different from the one he had just seen. There were indeed restrictions on the outside and only specific people could open it.

Judging from how quickly Zhu Zhizhi left, it seemed like she came here just to deliver this box, but who was the target of this box?

When Ji Heyu heard his question, he answered absentmindedly, "A girl gave you something, but you refused. How rude of you."

Yu Tianhong was choked for a moment and stared at Ji Heyu in disbelief, "Didn't you see the expression on her face? It was as if someone was forcing her to deliver it."

"And if Yun Xi knew about this, how wronged would I be?"

When Yu Tianhong said this, he raised his hand and threw the box in his hand into the pool in the distance.

He had no good feelings towards the original owner of this thing, and he had even less good feelings towards the thing she gave him.

This throw was so clean and quick that it caught people off guard.

By the time Ji Heyu reacted, the box had already fallen into the pond, splashing huge water.

Ji Heyu: “…”

It was obvious that the box had a secret, so this guy was quite straightforward in taking action.

Ji Heyu resigned himself to his fate and used his spiritual power to reach into the pond and accurately retrieved the box that had just been thrown in.

Yu Tianhong looked at the box that kept dripping water and was about to say something when she heard Ji Heyu say helplessly.

"Don't worry, this box has something to say."

Yu Tianhong twitched her lips, "What secrets could there be in the things she gave me?"

Ji Heyu took the box in his hand and looked around. "This box can only be opened by a specific person. It is very expensive. She is only in the foundation building stage. Even if you want to give someone something, you shouldn't give it in this way."

“Although it’s insured, it’s not something that the Foundation Establishment Stage can afford.”

Ji Heyu said, turning his head to look at Yu Tianhong, "You should think carefully about why she chose to give this thing to you after she found out that Wen Ye was not here."

"Have you ever interacted with her?"

Listening to his words, Yu Tianhong gradually realized that something was wrong. After thinking for a while, she said, "No, so why did she give the box to me?"

His gaze shifted back to the box in Ji Heyu's hand.

Ji Heyu shook his head, "I don't know."

Yu Tianhong suddenly realized something, "That's not right, Senior Rufeng, didn't you say he came here to confess his love?"

Ji Heyu: “…”

He coughed dryly, "Wrong guess, don't worry about it."

Ji Heyu said, and handed the box back to Yu Tianhong, "This was originally between Wen Ye and her. If you don't want it, why not let Wen Ye deal with the box after you return."

Yu Tianhong thought about it and felt that this was true.

"Okay, let's go back first."

Ji Heyu was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at the location of Jianfeng outside, "I think the scenery here is pretty good, so why not go back later."

Yu Tianhong didn't understand his implication and said seriously, "We have to go back early. If Wen Ye wakes up suddenly now, let him handle it. Otherwise, I feel like I have a hot potato in my hands."

After all, this was something he received from another woman. If he didn't get rid of it, what if Yun Xi misunderstood him?

As Yu Tianhong spoke, she grabbed Ji Heyu's sleeve without giving him a chance to refuse.

"Senior Rufeng, hurry up."

Ji Heyu: “…”

……

In Wen Ye's room.

The bright moon shone in from outside, casting a hazy glow over the wooden boards.

Yan Ping sat in the dark by the window, looking at Wen Ye.

The room was very quiet. Apart from his own barely perceptible breathing, the only sound was Wen Ye's natural breathing as he fell asleep.

His eyes fell on the young man's face. His eyebrows and eyes were as calm as water. It was obviously a very handsome face, but when he was sober, he seemed particularly cold.

Only when I come into contact with him will I smile a little.

Yan Ping has been thinking back over the time they spent together in the past few days. No matter how you look at it, Wen Ye has never done anything wrong to him.

I do my best to take care of him and never slack off on what I should do.

And although he had never explicitly stated his expectations, Wen Ye had obviously already shouldered his expectations.

Practice day and night and study the formation.

Although Wen Ye's strength is very low, he has been moving in the direction that he wants him to take.

Yan Ping looked at Wen Ye calmly.

So this time, he just went too far.

Wen Ye was so obedient to him that he forgot that Wen Ye was only sixteen, maybe almost seventeen.

He couldn't let his emotions, which he couldn't control, fall on Wen Ye.

Wen Ye cannot bear too much pressure from him. If he takes the wrong path, Yuanzhou will be doomed.

Yan Ping's gaze was indifferent, but Wen Ye, who was lying on the bed, was no longer lying so quietly. His brows were slightly furrowed, and he seemed uneasy.

He stood up and walked in front of Wen Ye, smoothing his brows with his hands, but it seemed to be of no use.

Yan Ping could feel the eyes moving under his fingers. Unable to open his eyes, even his breathing became rapid. It seemed that Wen Ye was about to wake up.

The next moment, Wen Ye turned over and sat up, with a panicked look on his face and rapid breathing.

He looked blankly at the empty yet familiar room, suddenly raised his hand to his face, and lowered his head to calm his breathing and confused thoughts.

He just had a dream in which Yan Ping left.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch up.

Wen Ye didn't know why he was here, but the feeling of being abandoned in his dream, accompanied by an uncontrollable sense of powerlessness, surged into his heart.

When the warm fingertips pressed on my face, I felt a slight cool sensation.

It felt like a pair of cold hands had just touched it.

Wen Ye calmed down a little and forced himself to ignore the feelings left over from the dream.

He knows formations and has the kind of talent that Yan Ping needs. As long as he can grow faster, Yan Ping will not ignore him.

Wen Ye's hands pressed even tighter, almost greedily absorbing the last bit of coolness left on his face to comfort the thoughts in his heart.

Wen Ye moved his hand away only when the cold feeling on his fingertips was no longer there. He looked at the moonlight pouring in from the window, falling on the wooden board and creating a hazy glow.

Visible but intangible.

Just like Yan Ping.

Wen Ye forced himself to look away and stopped thinking about it.

The events before he fell into a coma came back into his mind. He only remembered that the last formation ring failed again, and he did not do what Yan Ping wanted to see.

Wen Ye's heart tightened again, and the feeling of powerlessness in his dream suddenly came back again.

He suddenly wanted to see Yan Ping very much. Just a glance would be enough, and he wouldn't do anything more.

Wen Ye didn't know whether his current thoughts were the result of his soul, but for the first time he had such a strong desire, he wanted to see Yan Ping.

Wen Ye got up from the bed, casually put on a coat, and walked hurriedly out the door.

As soon as he reached the door, he saw two figures appear in the yard. When one of them saw him, he was particularly surprised.

"Look, Senior Rufeng, he has really woken up."

Wen Ye's eyes just quickly swept across their faces one by one, Yu Tianhong, Ji Heyu.

There is no Yan Ping.

He pursed his lips and looked towards the room where Yan Ping usually stayed. Just as he was about to step over, he heard Ji Heyu's words.

"You want to find Yan Ping?"

Wen Ye's gaze quickly turned back and looked at Ji Heyu.

Wen Ye's eyes and eyebrows were very cold, so cold that if no one paid attention, no one would be able to notice that he cared.

Only those eyes were fixed on Ji Heyu, waiting for an answer.

When Ji Heyu saw his current appearance, he felt pain on his face.

A few days ago, he scolded Yan Ping because of Wen Ye, but now looking at Wen Ye's appearance, he could only say that one was willing to fight and the other was willing to be beaten.

Ji Heyu rubbed his eyebrows and said.

"He is in seclusion at the water pond. Let's not disturb him recently."

When Wen Ye heard this, his tense heart relaxed a little. As long as she was still there, it was good enough.

Yu Tianhong looked at Ji Heyu in confusion, "Senior Rufeng, how did you know that you were in seclusion?"

Wen Ye looked at Ji Heyu in silence.

Ji Heyu said unhappily, "Of course I heard his voice transmission when I just came in."

Ji Heyu said as his eyes fell on Wen Ye again, "It's quite a coincidence that you woke up today. I just happened to have something to talk to you about."

Wen Ye glanced at the direction of the pond from afar, and suppressed his original intention to take a look at Yan Ping.

Since he said not to disturb me, I won't go.

"Come in and talk."

Wen Ye said this, turned around and walked into the room, turning on the spirit lamp to illuminate the room.

Yu Tianhong followed behind him, complaining as she walked, "You are really good at choosing the time to wake up. Can't you wake up earlier? You made me make such a fuss."

Ji Heyu sighed, "If you hadn't done something unnecessary, this wouldn't have happened."

Wen Ye didn't understand what they were saying, so he sat down at the table in silence. Then he saw Yu Tianhong put a box with a little moisture on it on the table and pushed it towards him.

"This is given to you by Zhu Zhizhi."

Wen Ye didn't understand. He looked up at Yu Tianhong and said word by word, "She gave it to me?"

Yu Tianhong nodded and told him that Zhu Zhizhi wanted to contact him in the past few days.

After listening to this, Wen Ye shifted his gaze to the box and said in a deep voice, "Are you saying that she contacted me these days just to give me this box?"

"Then how did it appear here?"

Yu Tianhong: “…”

Yu Tianhong had no guilt at all, but she spoke loudly, "Because she pesters Yun Xi every day, so today I asked her out in your name."

Wen Ye looked at Yu Tianhong silently. He didn't care what happened to Yu Tianhong asking someone out. Zhu Zhizhi had nothing to do with him. The reason he didn't kill her was because Yan Ping didn't express his opinion.

It was just that Zhu Zhizhi discussed a deal with him at that time, saying that she knew some inside information about Fafeng and Moxiu.

The fact that she dared to come to me again might have something to do with the evil cultivator.

Yu Tianhong looked at Wen Ye's silent eyes, thinking of Ji Heyu's initial guess, and he said subconsciously.

"Don't worry, I didn't touch her."

Wen Ye: "?"

What does it have to do with him whether Yu Tianhong did anything to Zhu Zhizhi?

Ji Heyu's eyelids twitched. He thought, "Don't talk about things that were based on your own experience and turned out to be wrong."

He raised his hand decisively and pointed at the box.

"Anyway, this box was sent by Zhu Zhizhi. There was someone staring at her from behind. She was supposed to give it to you, but after seeing Yu Tianhong, she gave it to him."

"We think this is a matter between you and her, so we brought the box back to you. You can handle it as you see fit."

Wen Ye looked at the box and frowned slightly.

Zhu Zhizhi is not a good person in the conventional sense. If the thing was for him, she could have just passed it on instead of going to so much trouble to meet him.

He probably wants to discuss compensation or something else.

But after seeing Yu Tianhong, she gave the thing to him, so her original target was Yu Tianhong?

Wen Ye placed his hand on the box and moved it slightly, but there was no response.

Wen Ye looked up at them, and Ji Heyu raised his eyebrows, "This box is restricted, and only certain people can open it."

As he spoke, his gaze shifted to Yu Tianhong.

Wen Ye was a little surprised that he couldn't open it, but then he thought about Zhu Zhizhi's behavior of definitely giving it to Yu Tianhong.

There seems to be another reasonable explanation.

Yu Tianhong still had a look of surprise on her face. "How could you not be able to open the things she prepared for you?"

Wen Ye looked at Yu Tianhong and knocked on the box.

"This is for you. It may be related to the Demon Cultivator. Think about it carefully before deciding whether to open this box or not."

As he spoke, he pushed the box in front of Yu Tianhong.

If it were in the past, he would have been interested in finding out what was going on with this box, but now, he didn't have the extra energy to explore other things.

Yu Tianhong reacted, "No, what's wrong with them? They wanted to give me something, but why did they go around and around to get it from you? They must have made a mistake."

Wen Ye and Ji Heyu just looked at him quietly.

Yu Tianhong: “…”
