The Evil King's Favorite Concubine: Genius Perfumer

Chapter 270 Let Me Help You Go to Qingyun

Late at night, in the narrow orchid courtyard, a lamp is like a bean, and there is no sound.

Gan Tiantian, with his long hair that was still steamy after bathing, sat by the bed and combed it slowly, with a hesitant expression.

"Xiao Ji...why?"

After enduring it again and again, Gan Tiantian still couldn't help asking.Once or twice was a coincidence, three or four times... She knew something was wrong.

She didn't think this was Ji Bingyun's behavior out of boredom.

After getting along for a long time, just as Ji Bingyun got to know her better and better, she also gradually figured out Ji Bingyun's temperament.Yes, he is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and he usually takes pleasure in abusing her, and when she needs help at a critical moment, he will not be vague.

But this time, it's not as simple as "helping" at all...

It went too far.

She believed that Ji Bingyun, who had been immersed in the Tao of incense all his life, knew better than herself that every time he gave advice, she would become the focus of everyone.But her strength is temporarily not worthy of such attention...

Such help is a double-edged sword.

why?
"My pleasure."

Ji Bingyun didn't want to say anything, but responded with her usual willfulness.But Gan Tiantian didn't mutter casually like in the past.

This time, she was serious.

She naturally wanted to be successful, who wouldn't?Who wouldn't want to open their golden fingers, meet gods and kill gods, meet Buddhas and kill Buddhas, and walk a broad and open road?

But, as she once said to people, there are not so many good things in the world, and there is no free lunch.Everything has a price, maybe now, maybe in the future.

Just ask for results without asking the price, until one day, when the other party comes to ask for the price, you may not be able to pay it.

She doesn't like the feeling of being out of control.Today, Ji Bingyun's sudden "help" can get her out of trouble, and even attract much attention and praise.But if she really keeps being "obedient" like this and gives up her own struggle, if he wants to destroy her in the future... she will be unable to distinguish and resist at all.

So she must figure out his real purpose.

"Little Ji..."

"Let's talk."

This is the first time Gan Tiantian has so resolutely proposed to "talk" since they "met" more than a year ago.

Ji Bingyun didn't want to talk about it.Maybe it's because of his resistance to the past, maybe it's because he's not good at chatting with people, and... In his heart, he's always been proud and lofty.

It was very difficult for him to admit frankly that he was using her... It was very difficult.

The "talk" between the two reached an impasse, but Gan Tiantian did not give up.

She has her trump card, because no matter how proud Ji Bingyun is, after all...he can only touch the world through her.

"...I'm afraid of you."

Ji Bingyun was helpless, really helpless.

For several days, Gan Tiantian went to work normally, accepted the compliments from his masters and the envy of his peers normally, ate, drank, talked and laughed normally...just ignored him.

Ji Bingyun is not afraid of loneliness, before meeting Gan Tiantian.

"Okay, okay, what do you want to know."

"Finally willing to speak?"

Gan Tiantian didn't pretend to ignore him anymore, and immediately responded with a smile: "What do you think? What I want to know is...your purpose, Xiaoji."

After calming down for the past few days, Gan Tiantian sorted out the events of the past year over and over again, spread out one by one and thought about it, and found more and more unreasonable traces.It wasn't that she didn't pay attention in the past, it was just that she was too lazy to think about it.

For example, although Master Qiao explained to her... But Ji Bingyun, who was at the peak back then, fell to oblivion in an instant from the high position of Master Xiang. What exactly did he experience during this period?
His contempt for the Ji family, his hostility towards Ji Jinfeng...

In the past, Gan Tiantian only thought that he was a concubine from the Ji family, and he might have been treated and humiliated by many relatives in his family when he was young. In addition, he had an extreme personality, so it was not surprising that he behaved like this.However, as time went by, she finally realized that things were not that simple.

And when she heard Ji Bingyun describe the secrets of the Ji family back then in a calm, almost cold tone, she suddenly understood...

It turned out to be so... The truth was crueler than what she had imagined.

"Little Ji..."

Gazing at the transparent figure like thin ice in mid-air, Gan Tiantian was speechless, but his heart was surging like sea waves.

From the top of the blue sky, he was reduced to mud, betrayed by his dearest relatives, helplessly watching his biological mother die of illness but helpless... until he was poured deadly poisonous wine by his most respected sister.

He only lived to be 20 years old.

"……That's it."

After saying everything, Ji Bingyun felt a sense of relief that she had never felt before.

He has never said anything about his thoughts to anyone, not in his lifetime, and it is even more impossible now.So, is this what it feels like to talk to someone?Or, it was because the person he was talking about...was her?
"That's why you hope that I can go up faster and faster, to the point where... I can meet Ji Jinfeng?"

Gan Tiantian smiled wryly, but it wasn't because it felt wrong to be used by others - in her opinion, Ji Bingyun's "use" did not mean any harm to her.Her feelings are not so delicate, and she will not be touched again and again because of this, giving birth to many hypocritical thoughts.

She just thought, "Xiao Ji, don't you think highly of me?"

No matter how hard she tried, she was not a genius like him after all, and she didn't have the family power that pushed him to the top. Ji Bingyun said that his father took good care of him when he was alive, otherwise he would not have lived to adulthood.

Even with his help, could she really walk in front of Ji Jinfeng in a few years, and even... as Ji Bingyun expected, pull Ji Jinfeng down from the height?

"You think you can't do it?"

"I..." Gan Tiantian hesitated, not knowing how to answer.Admitting your own incompetence is such a nasty feeling.

"You can't do it alone. But with me, you can do it."

Gan Tiantian was stunned.

She raised her head, and suddenly found that Ji Bingyun in front of her was exuding an extremely strong aura. She was originally a transparent figure like smoke and mist, but it seemed to be condensed into a solid body in an instant...

This is Ji Bingyun's self-confidence, the powerful self-confidence of the former world's number one incense master!

"As long as I am there."

Ji Bingyun paused every word, and said slowly.

"It will definitely help you ride the wind and go straight to Qingyun..."

"Do you want to?"

Do you want to?

Gan Tiantian always felt that these words sound familiar?

Uh, it seems that not long ago, a guy who was equally proud also lowered his body and asked her softly, would you like it?
She hurriedly pulled back her distracted thoughts, took a deep breath, and looked directly into Ji Bingyun's eyes again.

Ji Bingyun's trump card has been revealed, is she willing to accompany him to bet at the table?

"……All right."

Gan Tiantian felt a little complicated, and accepted this... It was a whimsical deal.

He helped her rise to power, and she helped him avenge.

Fair enough, isn't it?
