Chapter 1231

At this moment, Hearing Sheng Qi lay on the bed, gazing at Tian Mi's pear-blossom-in-rain appearance, and he only felt his whole body sore, weak, and drained.

This was the manifestation of overexertion.

He was very clear about his own physical condition.

"Sigh…"

After letting out a sigh, Hearing Sheng Qi slowly closed his eyes, seemingly preparing to welcome his own death.

"Uncle Sheng…"

Watching this scene, Tian Mi's heart ached violently, and she began to weep sorrowfully.

On the other side, Zhu Zhong also walked into the room, looked at Hearing Sheng Qi, frowned and asked,

"Miss Tian Mi, are you alright?"

"Brother Zhu, Uncle Hearing Sheng Qi is about to die, I beg you, please save him!"

Tian Mi knelt and sat on the ground, looking at Zhu Zhong with a pleading gaze.

"Sigh!"

Zhu Zhong gently sighed, "This kind of toxin is extremely domineering; unless there's an antidote, there's nothing I can do either!"

Hearing Zhu Zhong's words, Tian Mi immediately burst into tears, collapsing onto the ground and sobbing uncontrollably.

"Right, Brother Zhu, your medical skill is superb, you should have a way to detoxify, right?

I beg you, please help me!"

At the end of her words, Tian Mi tugged at Zhu Zhong's sleeve and pleaded.

Zhu Zhong was silent, and after a long while shook his head and said, "Miss Tian Mi, to be honest with you, actually my Master sect isn't skilled at treating poisons.

My Master once taught me the 'Golden Needle Eight Forms', but this set of Wu Gong requires special techniques to operate.

But my internal energy is completely exhausted now, how could I possibly perform it!"

Hearing Zhu Zhong's words, Tian Mi immediately felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and sat paralyzed on the ground in a daze,

"Brother Zhu, th-then do you have any other way to save Uncle Hearing Sheng Qi?

He can't die; if he dies, what will become of little sister Tian Tian?"

Tian Tian was the name given to her by the villagers of Tian Family Village.

The meaning was, hoping Hearing Sheng Qi and Tian Tian would be happy and blissful.

Unfortunately, this blessing was destined to be shattered!

"This… I do indeed have one rather immature plan."

Zhu Zhong thought for a moment, then said, "However, I need to borrow one thing from Miss, may I ask if you can agree?"

"Brother Zhu, whatever method you have just go ahead and tell me, as long as I can do it, I Yidinghui Gang."

Tian Mi wiped the tears from her face and nodded in agreement.

"Alright then, Miss, stretch out your hand!"

"Mm!"

Tian Mi obediently extended her jade-like wrist.

Zhu Zhong took out a black token from his bosom and handed it to Tian Mi, saying:

"Miss Tian Mi, this was left to me by my Master; at a critical moment it can preserve one's life.

Now I'll use this token to exchange for a way out for your man, is that acceptable?"

"I… it's acceptable!"

Tian Mi lowered her head, her pretty face extremely shy.

After all, she had not yet gone through the wedding ceremony with Hearing Sheng Qi, let alone the Leader Dongfang wedding night; to offer her chastity to another man like this was truly very hard to accept.

"Alright then, Miss Tian Mi, this token is a credential of my Master sect, representing my Master's dignity.

Now I give it to you, hoping you can remember tonight's promise, marry into Tian Family Fort as a wife, and become a daughter-in-law of my Tian family!"

Tian Hu's eyes stared fixedly at Tian Mi, as if wanting to devour her whole.

"I…"

Tian Mi hesitated for a moment, then suddenly raised her head, her gaze resolute.

"Alright, I agree to you."

After saying this, she put away the token, supported Hearing Sheng Qi's shoulder and said, "Uncle Sheng, I'm sorry, you've given so much for the Tian family, yet I…"

Tian Mi's voice choked, her heart filled with endless remorse.

"Silly girl, we agreed before, I help you find your parents, you marry me; if you go back on it now, wouldn't that just make Uncle Hearing Sheng Qi's efforts all for nothing?"

Hearing Sheng Qi barely forced out a faint smile and comforted,

"Tian Mi, you first carry Uncle Hearing Sheng Qi back home, I'll go make soup to heal Uncle Hearing Sheng Qi's injuries; I believe he'll recover to health very soon."

"Mm, then Uncle Sheng you must take good care of yourself!"

Tian Mi took a deep breath, then lifted Hearing Sheng Qi onto her back and walked outside.

Zhu Zhong looked at the two figures walking away, sneered coldly and said,

"Hmph, Hearing Sheng Qi, not only is your Wu Gong completely ruined, even your character has become cowardly and timid.

In this lifetime, don't even think about succeeding!"

Ximen Wudi also stood at the side, staring dumbfounded at this scene, and couldn't help sighing,

"Brother Hearing Sheng Qi, why must you be so impulsive.

If you hadn't recklessly tried to assassinate Tian Botao, how would you have ended up in such a state?"

"Hmph, everyone in Tian Family Village, including you, owes Hearing Sheng Qi Uncle a life.

The more we owe him, the less we can let him die—this is an obligation!

Nothing in this world can repay it!"

Tian Tian spoke coldly, saying,

"Ximen Wudi, you don't understand!"

"Hmph!"

Ximen Wudi snorted coldly, did not continue to pay Tian Tian any attention, but walked straight out of the inn and went back to sleep.

"Sister Tian Mi, are we really going to Tian Family Fort?"

Halfway there, Tian Tian suddenly asked.

"Mm!"

Tian Mi bit her red lips and nodded solemnly, saying, "Since Brother Zhu said there is a way to cure the poison on Hearing Sheng Qi Uncle's body, then I'll trust him this once."

"Oh……"

Tian Tian pouted her little mouth and answered reluctantly,

"But you're not allowed to like Brother Zhu, because I am Hearing Sheng Qi Uncle's wife. If you want to marry into Tian Family Village, you must pass my test."

"Hehe, I, Tian Mi, will only love one person in this life.

He is called Tian Mi, and also called Tian Shengqi."

Tian Mi smiled faintly.

Although she did not say who Tian Shengqi was, Tian Tian understood Tian Mi's meaning.

Tian Mi was telling her that even if she married into Tian Family Village, she would only be Tian Mi, and had nothing to do with other girls.

"Sigh, Sister Tian Mi……"

Tian Tian sighed and ultimately did not say anything more.

"Alright, Sister Tian'er, Hearing Sheng Qi Uncle is now unconscious, we have to hurry back!"

Tian Mi patted Tian Tian's head, then supported Hearing Sheng Qi as they walked toward the direction of Shanzhai.

Zhu Zhong watched the two of them gradually walking farther away, his eyes flickering, revealing a trace of sinister intent.

"Hearing Sheng Qi, all of this is you forcing my hand!

Since you are unjust, then don't blame me for being unkind!"
