Chapter 67.1 - Black jade pendant
But after a long time, Lou Qingwu was still silent.
The light in Feng Yege’s slowly disappeared as helplessness flashed past and he sighed.
He shook his head, unwilling to force her as his eyes were still warm.
He pinched her face, “Look at you, senior brother was just joking with you … let’s go in, if we’re late, there’ll be lots of people.”
Scared that she’d think too much of it, Feng Yege first walked out of the carriage as a light wind blew past, blowing the dim sadness on his mind.
Lou Qingwu looked dazedly at his long figure, but in the end, forcefully shut her eyes.
When she opened them again, they became clear and emotionless again.
Both of her hands were drenched in blood and the only reason why she was still living was for the sake of revenge.
This type of her would only dye his white-clothed self black, so how could she bear to do that to him?
Furthermore ….
Her right hand couldn’t help but press the left side of her heart.
That part of her heart was filled with gaping holes and wounds, so how could it be be able to completely fill another person?
So she decided that she wouldn’t disappoint him.
From when she decided to leave the countryside on her own, to when she decided to meet him, she knew that she’d meet someone from her past life.
That person was the person who brought her out of the darkness, but she didn’t decide to learn medicine this time.
But poison.
Her hands were drenched with blood and she couldn’t wash them clean any more.
From the moment that she decided to take revenge and use Feng Yege, she already didn’t want to drag him down again.
Even if there was that period where he dragged her back to the Medicine King’s Valley, she wasn’t able to have him as her shifu but instead, became his junior sister.
From when they met, there would only be that layer of identity left.
She was in hell, so how could she also drag him into that pit of helplessness?
When the two people reached the entrance of the black market, Feng Yege pulled out a pure black jade pendant.
The black-clothed people guarding the entrance immediately moved to the side as Lou Qingwu followed him.
Feng Yege spoke to her about what to pay attention to on the way in.
It was the first time that Lou Qingwu had come to this place so everything was new and strange to her.
In her past lifetime, she’d only heard of such a place, an underground black market, a place where only certain people of certain rank could enter.
And this auction that was organised by the underground black market would only be even more strict on those who could enter.
They’d only enter those people who were worth millions or those nobles from the very upper class.
In her past lifetime, she only helped Xiahou Qing snatch military achievements and power for him so she didn’t stay in the capital much.
Even when she did eventually come here, she mostly resided in the imperial chambers and didn’t have a chance to go to the fabled Anye empire.
Rumours said that this underground black market had wealth to rival nations and everyone inside had high martial arts.
Even their senior master was exceptionally secretive with impressively frightening power.
It was said that even the current royals had to be polite and courteous to him, afraid to offend him.
They also said that this underworld master was incomparably handsome, but it was only a pity that only a few had seen his true face.
She just didn’t know how he would compare to Feng Yege?
Thinking of Feng Yege, she couldn’t help but lift up her eyes to look at him but she didn’t think that instead, she’d meet his eyes.
Lou Qingwu froze and dazedly, looked at the man close to her, “You …”
“What were you thinking about?” The warmth of his breath was nearly on her face as Lou Qingwu felt her face become heated.
She quickly turned her face around, “Nothing.”
She obviously couldn’t tell him, that she was trying to compare his looks with Anye’s senior master, right?
Feng Yege didn’t care think too much as he lowered her voice and spoke next to her ear, “When we get inside, if there’s anything you like, you can buy it.”
Lou Qingwu made a sound of agreement as Feng Yege’s lowered eyes looked at her warm and obedient side profile.
He wanted to say something but the Feng Shiyi who was supposed to be guarding outside, suddenly rushed inside.
He ran to Feng Yege’s ear, lowered his voice and said something which made Feng Yege’s brows furrow.
He nodded his head and gestured for Feng Shiyi to withdraw.
Then he looked at Lou Qingwu and placed the black jade pendant from his waist to her palm, “I have something to deal with. You can go to the auction first and I’ll find you later.”

TL note:
Swoon @Feng Yege being lovely and not pushing LQW but also heartbreak at Xiahou Qing and LQW’s previous life together.
Is Anye’s master more handsome, or Feng Yege?
Leave a comment and for someone to bully LQW (me because no one's sponsoring me) xx
