The hour of Yin, Nine Pinnacle Mountain, Heavenly Silk Sect.

In a dark room, Wei Changtian looked at You Jia, who was slumped in a chair with her eyes wide open, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He had taken this precaution when he realized that You Jia was hiding a huge secret and was about to hand her over.

Originally, he had planned to send someone to investigate what exactly Jing Yuan wanted to do to You Jia, but when he realized that You Jia was the Dragon Finch, he immediately changed his mind.

No matter what Ning Yongnian wanted to do, You Jia must be aware of it.

And if he wanted to know the truth behind this, he must not let the latter fall into Jing Yuan's hands for too long.

Therefore, Wei Changtian quickly followed Qin Zhengqiu all the way to Little Pearl Mountain, and successfully rescued You Jia at the cost of a "Divine Strike".

Fortunately, he didn't alarm the other dozen or so evil monks, otherwise the price would have been even greater.

“Grandpa, please release You girl's acupoints.”

Turning to look at Qin Zhengqiu, the latter didn't say much, walked up to You Jia, and released all of her acupoints.

As for why Wei Changtian didn't release them himself... he was a fifth-rank cultivator and couldn't release the acupoints sealed by a second-rank cultivator.

“Changtian, you guys talk, I'll wait outside the door.”

After releasing the acupoints, Qin Zhengqiu took a deep look at You Jia and turned to walk out of the dark room.

The closing door caused the candlelight to flicker for a while before quickly returning to stability.

At this time, Wei Changtian also spoke with an apologetic expression.

“Miss You, I'm sorry for making you suffer.”

“There were too many experts in the Buddha Lotus Temple at the time, and there were also people from the Liu family. If I hadn't agreed to that old monk, I'm afraid none of us would have survived.”

“So I had to pretend to agree to him first, and then find a chance to save you. Please don't blame me, Miss.”

He didn't directly point out that she was the Dragon Finch, nor did he immediately question what Ning Yongnian's intentions were.

Wei Changtian had already figured out how to get what he wanted from You Jia on the way back.

Forcing a confession through interrogation was definitely not going to work.

The original novel didn't describe the character of the Dragon Finch much. She basically only appeared in a few chapters, and then was killed by Xiao Feng with a sword because she refused to betray Ning Yongnian.

However, from this short plot, one could see the extent of the Dragon Finch's loyalty to Ning Yongnian.

Although he was not Xiao Feng, and the current situation was completely different from the plot in the book.

However, it would undoubtedly be equally difficult to pry open You Jia's mouth by force.

Fortunately, You Jia didn't know that he already knew her true identity, so there was still room for manipulation.

Hehe, since you played the spy game with me first, then don't blame me for using your own methods against you.

“Young Master Wei, you don't have to be like this.”

On the other side, You Jia really didn't have much doubt, she just lowered her head and trembled slightly, as if she had been greatly frightened.

So she's acting?

She's reacting pretty quickly.

Wei Changtian snorted coldly in his heart, but his face was full of concern.

This sentence seemed innocuous, but it actually had a hidden meaning.

After hearing this, You Jia's body trembled slightly, but she quickly recovered and nodded lightly.

“No matter what, I still have to thank Young Master for saving my life.”

“...”

Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes slightly, didn't press the attack, and instead led the topic elsewhere.

In this way, the two of them showed off their acting skills with their own thoughts, until the incense stick burned out before basically ending the conversation.

Wei Changtian didn't ask what relationship You Jia had with the Buddha Lotus Temple, nor did he ask what Jing Yuan was going to do after snatching her away.

You Jia didn't ask how Wei Changtian found her, nor did she ask why he could kill a second-rank master with one strike.

In fact, both of them had already thought about how to answer these questions, but neither of them was able to use them.

I don't know if this counts as a kind of tacit understanding that transcends intrigue and deception.

“Cough, Miss You, you should rest well here tonight.”

Adhering to the principle of not being too hasty, Wei Changtian slowly stood up: “Tomorrow I will have Wan'er bring your clothes here, you can live in the Heavenly Silk Sect for a while.”

“After all, although that evil monk is dead, the Buddha Lotus Temple will definitely not let it go. If you continue to live in Shu Prefecture City, I'm afraid there will still be danger.”

“But the Heavenly Silk Sect, they probably wouldn't dare to break in casually.”

“I will listen to Young Master.”

You Jia also stood up staggeringly, moved to Wei Changtian's side: “Please tell Sister Xu that I'm safe after you go back, Young Master.”

“I know.”

Wei Changtian nodded, and turned to prepare to push the door and leave.

However, at this moment, accompanied by a cry of surprise behind him, You Jia seemed to be too weak, and suddenly collapsed weakly towards him.

Huh?

What does this mean?

After clearly knowing You Jia's identity, Wei Changtian knew very well that this Dragon Finch, who had been pretending to be only a sixth-rank cultivator, was actually already a fourth-rank cultivator, and it was impossible for her to collapse without injury.

So this is... a beauty trap?

Reaching out to hug You Jia, who had her eyes tightly closed, Wei Changtian didn't know what she was up to.

“Miss You, Miss You?”

He called out softly a few times, and then laid the latter on the bed next to him without showing any signs.

Wei Changtian thought that he had to do a full set of acting, so he prepared to go out and find a doctor.

However, he had only taken two steps when he suddenly turned back, gently pulled a thin quilt over You Jia, who had already "fainted", and even reached out and brushed a few strands of hair that had fallen on her forehead with a bit of tenderness.

“Miss You, although I am not a good person, I am definitely not an ungrateful person.”

“So don't worry, even if the entire Buddha Lotus Temple comes to your door to demand someone, I will definitely protect you.”

He "monologued" a few words in a sincere tone, feeling that the intensity was just right, and then Wei Changtian finally slowly walked out of the room.

Flirting with a girl with the purpose of using her, this was his first time.

Wei Changtian didn't know if he could succeed, but he thought the chances were still very high.

After all, he knew what kind of woman like You Jia lacked the most in her heart, and what she craved the most.

“Young Master Wei.”

Outside the dark room, several Heavenly Silk Sect disciples guarding the door bowed.

Wei Changtian looked around and didn't see Qin Zhengqiu's figure, so he casually asked: “Where is my grandpa?”

“Sect Leader said he still has some things to deal with, and instructed us to listen to Young Master's arrangements.”

“Oh, the woman inside has fainted, go find a doctor to take a look at her.”

“Also, prepare a carriage, I'm going back to Shu Prefecture City later.”

Wei Changtian ordered a few words, but suddenly frowned again.

“Wait, we'll talk about these later.”

“Where does my grandpa live? Take me there now!”
