Liu Sanniang’s power slowly enveloped Shi Jiu. She sensed the memories that belonged to him.

Shi Jiu opened his heart to her completely and let Liu Sanniang know everything in his mind.

Shi Jiu existed in Xia Hongming as a sealed consciousness.

He knew how to escape and survive. He only wanted to live and stay away from anything that could or would endanger his life.

When Xia Hongming was secretly brought out of the palace, Shi Jiu gradually woke up and replaced Xia Hongming. He knew that when he woke up, he had to think of a way to survive.

Being drugged, he could not exert any strength. He could only bite the tip of his tongue hard and feel the pain until cold sweat broke out. The pain became more and more intense, and his strength gradually returned to his body. His hands began to move.

He did not have any sharp weapons on him to attack, so he could only wait for an opportunity. When the person carrying him pa.s.sed by a cliff, Shi Jiu bit the neck of the person and rolled down the cliff into the river below.

He couldn’t escape earlier because he didn’t have the strength to outrun the person, so the cliff was the best choice. Below was the river. If he was lucky, he wouldn’t fall to his death.

In the face of a calamity, one had to take a gamble.

He was falling rapidly. He quickly reached out and grabbed things around him to slow down the fall. It would be best if he could grab something and not fall.

Several arrows shot down. Since he jumped off the cliff, the a.s.sa.s.sin who was instructed to get rid of him did not react in time. By the time he acted, Shi Jiu had already jumped off the cliff.

The a.s.sa.s.sin quickly found a way down the cliff. Whether Shi Jiu was dead or not, the a.s.sa.s.sin would have to check it for himself.

Shi Jiu fell heavily into the river. The bone-chilling river water instantly made him tense up. He tried his best to move his limbs. When his sealed consciousness was released, his mission was not to let this body die and take care of it.

He felt like he was being washed away. He had to stop quickly. His mind was in a mess as he tried his best to swim to the edge.

The sky gradually brightened, and he could see his surroundings clearly. It was not easy for him to get ash.o.r.e. He looked around and began to run.

When a carriage pa.s.sed by the road, it immediately attracted Shi Jiu’s attention. He saw that the person driving the carriage seemed to be a martial artist. He had already used up all his strength. If he did not get help, he would die.

He chased after the carriage. The sound of horses galloping could be heard behind him. His eyes were filled with indignation. Could they have caught up so quickly?

Shi Jiu felt weak all over his body and could not run anymore. When he fell to the ground, he heard the sound of an arrow whooshing through the air. At the same time, he felt someone help him up. In an instant, he was already on the horse. His vision was blurry, and he could barely see who it was..

The carriage in front had already stopped.

Before Shi Jiu lost consciousness, he heard the sound of fighting. The last thing in his mind was to repay whoever saved him.

When Shi Jiu woke up again, the carriage was rocking along a b.u.mpy road and he heard people arguing.

“Who is this person? He’s actually being chased by several groups of people. Why are we taking this burden with us? Huaixiao, we re here to look for someone. Our efforts will be in vain if we leave without even entering the capital.”

Tang Huaijin was very angry. His original plan had been completely ruined.

Tang Huaixiao said, “Saving a life is better than building a seven-story paG.o.da. Since we met him, we have to save him. If we abandon him now, he’ll die. We can come back next time to find Miss Liu, but there won’t be a next time to save him.”

Shi Jiu opened his eyes. “Thank you.”

Tang Huaijin glanced at Shi Jiu coldly and did not speak.

Tang Huaixiao looked at Shi Jiu and asked. “Where do you live? Why are you being chased by so many people?”

Shi Jiu shook his head. “I don’t know. I don’t remember anything. When 1 woke up, they wanted my life. 1 didn’t want to die. So, 1 could only escape.”

If not for Tang Huaijin, he would have definitely died.

With a weak body, it was impossible to escape.

Tang Huaijin frowned. He looked at Shi Jiu and checked again. “You don’t remember anything?”

Shi Jiu nodded.

Tang Huaijin said solemnly, “Do you know how to repay us for saving your life?”

Shi Jiu shook his head.

Tang Huaijin said solemnly, “Look at my sister. She’s a rare strong woman. With her around, no one can take your life. Be her husband and we’ll protect your life.”

Tang Huaixiao was furious. “Brother, don’t spout nonsense.”

Tang Huaixiao glanced at Shi Jiu and said calmly, “My brother is joking. Don’t take it to heart. You’re not in good health and need to recuperate for a while. When you’re fully recovered, we’ll get rid of the people chasing you and you can leave after that.”

Shi Jiu nodded slightly. “Thank you, Miss.”

They traveled non-stop and encountered another a.s.sa.s.sination attempt. After they got rid of the a.s.sa.s.sins, the road to Jiufang City was safe.

Shi Jiu stayed in Jiufang City. He had many injuries from the fall and needed to recuperate.

People in the Dizang Manor did not treat him badly. They even invited doctors to cure him.

While staying there, he had seen Tang Huaixiao many times and even saw her practice the sword once. He was mesmerized by her.

Seeing that he was almost healthy, Tang Huaijin asked him. “You’re almost recovered now. 1 only have one request. Marry my sister. If you’re unwilling, pack up and leave immediately. The Dizang Manor doesn’t owe you anything. We have no responsibility to keep you here.”

Shi Jiu answered seriously. “I want to stay. I’m willing to marry Huaixiao. I like her.”

Tang Huaijin was dumbfounded. He almost picked Shi Jiu up.. “Are you serious? Let me tell you, if you dare to joke with me, I’ll kill you!”
