I was reborn after cheating on the aloof and powerful man.

Chapter 139 Life is as fragile as wild grass

"What a silver tongue, so adept at distorting the truth!"

Why don't you say that my master comes from the Tianshan Mountains?

"How dare you, a mere woman, slander and spread rumors about the prestigious martial arts sects!"

"I think I've figured it out now. You two unidentified people are working together in concert."

"None of us knew what kind of monster was enshrined in this temple. But the old man recognized it at a glance, and even said that the little girl was some kind of princess, and then deliberately started arguing with us in front of us."

"In fact, from the very beginning, it was these two who were playing tricks, their aim being my master's shipment!"

The old man used a grappling technique to subdue Zhao Yi, making it difficult for him to move.

Zhao Yi showed no fear. Upon hearing Fei Xi's words, he immediately retorted and launched a series of attacks, first cursing Fei Xi, and then loudly questioning Shen Tianbao.

"Shen Tianbao! Changchang Escort Agency is conspiring with others to embezzle the goods being escorted. Why not be more open and aboveboard!"

"I, Zhao Yi, have only ever admired those great heroes who defended our country in the great wars. To slander me is futile; I, Zhao Yi, will never fear you!"

"I will never let you succeed in slandering those reputable sects, even if it means my death!"

Zhao Yi's righteous and stern words caused the expressions of everyone present to change one after another.

Those with weak wills are looking back and forth between Fei Xi, Shen Tianbao, and Zhao Yi, already struggling with who to believe.

After Zhao Yi finished his impassioned roar, his expression of fearlessness suddenly changed.

With his inner energy surging and his body rolling, Zhao Yi broke free from the old man's grasp and control while he was off guard.

He punched the old man hard with his right fist and then aimed his left hand at Fei Xi.

Although the words, full of loopholes, could stir up emotions, if Fei Xi and the others refuted them one by one, the deceived people would soon wake up.

Zhao Yi certainly wasn't trying to convince everyone of his nonsense. His goal was clear: to use words to disrupt the situation, then seize the opportunity to subdue the unskilled Fei Xi, forcing the old man and Shen Tianbao to submit!

However, to his surprise, in an instant, the old man directly hit him with the Azure Dragon Fist, forcing him to withdraw his left hand to deal with the old man's Tiger Roar Palm attack.

The old man is fearless; he wouldn't dare gamble!

When masters clash, it all comes down to a single move!

Even a mighty dragon cannot cross the river, but a roaring tiger displays its divine might.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Yi, who was filled with fear, was struck by the old man's merciless palm strike, causing him to vomit blood and faint.

The old man who was fighting Zhao Yi lost control after knocking Zhao Yi unconscious and vomited a mouthful of black blood.

With the outcome of the battle decided, Fei Xi rushed forward and helped the old man who was on the verge of fainting.

"Brother Shen, tie him up!"

"Do not touch me!"

The sounds rang out simultaneously, and Fei Xi, looking at the old man who was trying to brush her away, instantly felt her eyes redden.

“I know it’s Kunko, I’ll be careful.”

Seeing that Fei Xi had revealed the deadly poison he had been poisoned with, the old man stopped waving her away and silently let Fei Xi do as she pleased.

Fei Xi took off her coat and helped the old man lie down on the ground. She pushed the crowd away, took out her tools, and went forward alone.

Wearing white gloves, she used silver needles to lock acupoints, and tears fell onto her coarse linen clothes, quickly staining them.

"Turn off your tap, I'm not dead yet!"

With her silver needles flying, Fei Xi could roughly understand the meaning of "faucet" even though she didn't understand what it meant.

She sniffed and replied with a nonsensical remark.

"I saw him move his right foot as soon as he did, but I managed to dodge it."

"Don't flatter yourself. I wasn't trying to save you. This scoundrel is trying to confuse us. I won't stand for that!"

Stinky old man!

Fei Xi pouted, ignoring the old man's hypocrisy.

After protecting the old man's heart, she took out a few pills from her brocade pouch and put them into his mouth. While the old man's mouth was occupied, Fei Xi said in a deliberately profound tone,

“I have never cared about what others say, nor do I care how they judge me. Right and wrong are all in other people's mouths. If I insist on being the way others see me, trying to please them and pretending to be the person they like, even if everyone is satisfied, what about myself? Have I ever asked myself if I like this version of myself?”

"I believe that whether it is for passion or for justice, people should recognize and love the version of themselves that is striving for these things, so that they can face life and death without fear."

"I also understand that life is unpredictable and people's hearts are hard to fathom. It is easy to be a pig or a dog, but it is extremely difficult to follow one's heart and be an upright person."

"The world is cruel and the distinction between the noble and the lowly has caused countless lives to be treated as worthless as weeds."

"The lowly weeds are born to be trampled on, and in many people's minds, this seems to be a matter of course. But in my opinion, this is dog shit."

A fair-skinned, pretty girl suddenly uttered a swear word, causing everyone who was eavesdropping on their conversation to stare at her.

Despite the blatant stares of the crowd, Fei Xi seemed oblivious, continuing to utter her shocking words.

"When King Chen was enslaved, he shouted, 'Are kings and nobles born with special privileges?' He practiced what he preached, saying that the idea that nobility and lowliness are born was just a trick deliberately concocted by the so-called aristocratic families to oppress the lower classes."

"People are not afraid of having a life as lowly as weeds, but they are afraid of thinking that they can only be lowly weeds, and that they are only worthy of being lowly weeds."

"How others see me is not important. If I have a tiger in my heart, I will one day roar in the mountains."

"The world is unfair, and kneeling like a dog is not something to be afraid of. However, some people always degenerate themselves and turn to attacking and mocking their own kind for a few cheap bones, as if they can only find self-respect by suppressing their own kind. This is truly pathetic and lamentable."

"My heart should be as I am; it is who I am, and it should be as I like it. Even in adversity, I will not forget myself, and thus I will see things through to the end. As for what others do, what does it have to do with me?"

"Ha, if you enjoy doing evil, do you also want to indulge yourself like Qiu Shuying?" Although Fei Xi's words seemed high-sounding, the old man instantly saw through the key point, and his pale face turned as black as ink in an instant.

"Isn't it you who's here? Grandpa, you'd better live well and keep an eye on me, the scheming person you described, to see if I'm a good person or a bad person."

The only response to Fei Xi was a cold snort. Realizing he had been listening to a bunch of nonsense, the old man closed his eyes and decided to ignore the young girl who was spouting nonsense.

Fei Xi smiled and continued to administer acupuncture to the old man.

Thanks to Tang Ziyi, the unlucky eldest son of the Tang family.

Upon touching the old man's pulse, Fei Xi immediately realized that the poison he had been afflicted with was none other than Kun Ke.

The old man was bitten by Kunko.

If a person is not a host of a Kunko, and is bitten by a Kunko, they will die unless they immediately cut off the bite site with a knife.

The old man was able to hold on for so long after being bitten by Kunko; he was truly a god.

Presumably, this old man, by sheer chance, like his junior brother from the previous century, found a way to temporarily suppress the poison of Kunke—"to suppress the spread of the poison with his powerful internal energy."

However, this method can only delay the problem temporarily.

To completely cure Kunke's poison, one must do what one did in the past to save Junior Brother Ji...
