Chapter 185: The Jianghu in the Wine and Sword Village (28)
"Can I still trust you?" Tang Cuo lowered his head silently.
"You can believe it, but you can't believe it completely." Jiang Sichen's eyes were clear.
"Everyone wants to kill you now." Tang Cuo pursed his lips.
"I don't care, Acu, I only care about your thoughts. Do you think I'm a bad person?"
"I... don't know." Tangcuo turned his head away. "Although you haven't hurt me, you have killed people and destroyed families."
"Then just treat me as a bad guy, a thorough bad guy. Compared to dying in the hands of others, I actually want to die in your hands more." Jiang Sichen forced himself to get off the couch, then raised his hand and held his wrist.
"What do you want to do?"
"Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything. I'm just going to see if the poison in your body has been completely eliminated." Jiang Sichen raised his hand and placed it on his pulse. "The poison has been completely eliminated, but your body is still a little weak. If you are bored, the scenery in Jieyou Forest is nice. You can take a walk with Xiao Zhao. He likes you very much."
"Will you kill me?" Tang Cuo lowered his eyes and looked at his hands.
"Will you kill me?" Jiang Sichen smiled and asked back.
"I have no idea……"
"I won't." Jiang Sichen withdrew his hand, "Never."
"Wait... My mind is a little confused now, I want to be alone for some time." Tang Cuo pursed his lips, raised his foot and took a step back.
"Of course, but it's late at night, you should go to bed early." Hearing his words, Jiang Sichen did not try to keep him, but raised his hand to signal him that he could do whatever he wanted.
Tang Cuo nodded, then turned and left Jiang Sichen's bedroom, walking alone on the tree-lined path.
[Ding Dong, your little star has been updated and is now online.]
Xiaoxing's voice suddenly appeared in his mind, which scared Tang Cuo. He found a stone on the spot and sat on it casually.
There was a hint of complaint in his tone, "Xiao Xing, you still remember to go online. I thought you and Xiao Ye were forced into exile together."
[Host, I'm sorry, I'm a relatively basic system, so the updates are quite frequent and take quite a while...]
"It's okay. I'm already happy that you can still speak. By the way, is there any news about this dimension now? Who is my attacker? Who should I... kill?" Tang Cuo's voice became a little lighter.
[Searching for guides for this plane for you, please wait...]
Tang Cuo's heart tightened involuntarily. For some reason, he didn't want to hear Jiang Sichen's name in his mind.
[Search completed, the host's strategy for this plane is Jiang Sichen, the master of Jie Youlin. Please complete the task within the specified time and return to the task center successfully.]
"But he didn't hurt me...do I have to kill him?" Tang Cuo pursed his lips.
[Yes, this is a task assigned by the main system and cannot be changed by the system.]
"But with my current ability, I can't kill him at all. We are not on the same level." Tang Cuo suddenly caught the logical loophole.
[As long as the host follows the main storyline, the rest will not affect the final result.]
"Xiao Xing, I feel a little strange. Why didn't this plane have any information about the attacker in the beginning? Is the main system damaged?" Tang Cuo sighed, "If I had known the information about the attacker before, I might not be so entangled now."
[Host, if Xiaoxing had told you before that Jiang Sichen was a bloodthirsty villain, would you still seriously try to understand him? Do you really think he is a bloodthirsty person?]
"I..." Tangcuo was silent.
[So, if you knew from the beginning that he was your target, would you try to understand him with tinted glasses? Just like he said, you might try your best to avoid contact with him, and finally follow the people who are fighting against him, find an opportunity to kill him and complete the mission.]
[Host, if you want to understand a person, don't listen to what others say, you have to experience it yourself, so... do you think he is an unforgivable person? ]
Hearing his words, Tangcuo did not answer immediately, but silently raised his head and looked at the night sky.
The next morning, when Tang Cuo opened his eyes, there was a knock on the door. He got up from the bed and then raised his hand to open the door.
"Brother Jiang..., why are you here?" Tang Cuo did not dodge, but looked straight at him.
"We don't have much time left. I want to take you around the mountains in person. In the past, you might have been too tired and didn't have time to really take in the scenery." Jiang Sichen chuckled a few times, "Why? Ah Cuo just found out about my identity yesterday, and you want to distance yourself from me today?"
"Okay, it's okay to go out for a walk. Anyway, I'm already here, and Mr. Jiang should do his best to be a good host." Tang Cuo's face was rosy and his eyes were shining.
"Acuo seems to be different from before?"
"Because someone told me last night that if I want to understand a person, I should approach him through actions instead of looking at him with tinted glasses." Tang Cuo curled the corners of his lips, "If I discover something during this period, maybe it can strengthen some of my ideas..."
"Makes sense."
After he finished speaking, Tang Cuo followed Jiang Sichen towards the top of the mountain.
Along the way, the willow trees on both sides drooped slightly, as if greeting the two of them. Gradually, Tang Cuo's breathing became heavy. Jiang Sichen stopped, turned around, took two steps forward, bent down and picked up Tang Cuo.
Tang Cuo, whose body was suspended in the air, screamed subconsciously and hugged his neck tightly, "You are still injured, put me down."
"It's okay, just a minor injury." Jiang Sichen curled the corners of his lips and quickened his pace.
Before noon, the two reached the top of the mountain. Jiang Sichen leaned over and put Tang Cuo down, then raised his hands to cover his eyes.
"Don't move yet, Acuo. I'll give you a surprise. I'll take you there later." Jiang Sichen said softly, "Don't be afraid."
"Yeah." Tang Cuo nodded and followed his footsteps toward the back of the mountain.
About half an incense stick of time passed, Jiang Sichen stopped, then released the fingers on his eyes, and said in a gentle tone, "We're here, Acuo can open his eyes now."
After he finished speaking, Tang Cuo opened his eyes carefully, and then he was shocked and stood still. He covered his mouth in disbelief.
Looking down from the top of the mountain, there was a whole peach forest. The peach blossoms were in full bloom, dyeing the entire mountain. Tangcuo exclaimed, "Did this originally exist?"
"I planted this for you." Jiang Sichen chuckled a few times.
"How do you know that I like peach blossoms? What if I don't like them, then all your efforts would have been in vain?" Tang Cuo asked back.
"I know, and I won't be mistaken."
Hearing his words, Tangcuo felt even more puzzled, "Brother Jiang, have we met somewhere before?"
"Maybe, maybe I have seen it before." Jiang Sichen's eyes flickered, "Acuo, if you feel tired doing something in the future, you can take a break and don't force yourself."
