Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

Xiao Zhan had a respect for Xuan He in his heart. Who would easily give up such a lofty position to choose a woman who was misunderstood by the world?

In order to control his mind, Xuan He even left his master's sect.

This may seem rash to outsiders, but Xiao Zhan understands that Xuan He is by no means an impulsive person; he has a clear understanding of his pursuits, and such determination is rare in this world.

When Xuan He looked forward and told the story of him and Qu Xin, his eyes were full of tenderness.

"Taoist Master."

Qu Xin lay on the bed, holding her chin with both hands, looking up at Xuan He who came in. These days, he was always busy and nowhere to be seen, and she didn't know what he was busy with.

"Miss Qu, is there anything wrong?" Xuan He sat down cross-legged to rest, his face looking a little pale.

"What have you been busy with recently?" Qu Xin asked. Xuan He looked uncomfortable, his lips were pale, his eyes were dark blue, and he seemed to be unwell.

Worried, Qu Xin walked over to Xuan He and sat down, gently touching his neck.

Xuan He was startled and quickly grabbed her wrist, blushing: "Miss Qu, you..."

Xuan He was obviously uncomfortable with such close contact and was at a loss for a moment.

"I noticed that the Taoist priest didn't look well, and I was a little worried." Qu Xin explained.

Seeing Xuan He's reaction, Qu Xin secretly laughed in his heart. He was just a shy person.

She shook her wrist and said, "Master, can you let me go? You're holding me too tight, it hurts."

"I'm sorry." Xuan He immediately let go of his hand.

"Forget it, Master Taoist, you look so tired, I'll go for a walk outside and not disturb your rest." Qu Xin stood up and left the room without giving Xuan He a chance to respond.

As soon as she left the house, Qu Xin's smile disappeared and her expression became serious. She had just discovered that Xuan He was poisoned, but he seemed to be unaware of it.

"Boss, where can I buy herbs here?" Qu Xin asked the innkeeper.

In this wilderness within a radius of fifty miles, there is no other human habitation except this inn.

There are dense forests all around. Fortunately, she is very familiar with herbs. As long as she can find the right ones, she can remove the poison from Xuan He's body.

"It's three miles west." The shopkeeper waved his hand and pointed her in the direction.

Qu Xin thanked him and turned around to start his journey.

But as time went by, she began to doubt whether the shopkeeper's words were credible. After walking for an unknown amount of time, there were still endless weeds in front of her, and not even a single usable herb was seen.

The sun was high in the sky and her clothes were soaked with sweat. To avoid the heat, she hid in a lush forest, where the shade was pleasant and the sun could not penetrate.

Suddenly, Qu Xin discovered that there was a precious money plant growing on the edge of the cliff at her feet - the key to detoxification. It seemed that the shopkeeper did not lie to her.

The location where this money grass grew was quite dangerous, located under a bottomless cliff, with smooth cliff walls and almost no place to stand. But for the sake of the person trapped by the poison, she had to take a risk.

She took out the dagger given by her master from her waist. This sharp knife had never been really used, but today it became a life-saving straw.

She found some sturdy vines and tied them around her waist. After making sure it was safe, she slowly descended.

Just when he was about to reach his goal, the vine was not long enough and his fingertips could only barely touch the edge of the money plant.

In desperation, she decided to give it a try, untied the vines, and thrust the dagger into the stone wall, using it as a support point.

Finally, she succeeded in picking the money grass, but at this moment, the dagger loosened! Her body lost weight, her palm fell rapidly, and his face flashed through her mind.

In a panic, his fingers touched the jade whistle around his neck and he blew it involuntarily. The clear sound of the whistle crossed the distance of space.

At this moment, Xuan He, who was in the inn room, suddenly opened his eyes, and an inexplicable palpitation surged into his heart. A familiar whistle lingered in his ears, and he rushed out of the room without hesitation.

"Shopkeeper, have you seen the girl who came with me?" Xuan He asked anxiously.

After searching for a long time in and around the inn, Qu Xin was still nowhere to be found. Xuan He had no choice but to return to the inn to ask the innkeeper for help.

"That girl, she said she went to the west to look for medicinal herbs."

The shopkeeper didn't even raise his head, concentrating on the account book in his hand: "There are many precious medicinal herbs in the woods over there, she should be there."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew by, and when the shopkeeper looked up, Xuan He was gone.

Xuan He used his Qinggong skills to quickly run to the west.

He was sure that the whistle he had just heard came from the jade whistle he had given to Qu Xin - it contained his true energy, and only the sound it produced could trigger his perception.

"Qu Xin!" He shouted loudly when he reached the edge of the woods, but there was silence all around and no response.

An unprecedented anxiety surged in his heart, as if a raging fire was burning in his chest. He could no longer remain calm when he thought that Qu Xin might encounter an accident in this wilderness.

"Qu Xin! Where are you?"

He shuttled through the woods, shouting and searching. His clothes were soaked with sweat, and he was unaware of the scratches on his face and body caused by branches.

Suddenly, his feet kicked a cane - the same one that Qu Xin used to tie around his waist. Following the direction of the cane, he came to the edge of the cliff.

Seeing the marks on the other end of the vine being cut by a sharp blade, Xuan He's heart suddenly tightened.

It was pitch black below the cliff, and nothing could be seen. If someone fell...

Qu Xin’s smile appeared in my mind, which was the most beautiful memory of their days together.

Her voice echoed in his ears: "The Taoist priest said he would take me to Yingxia, so please take care of me until I arrive."

He had never broken his promises, but this time he seemed powerless to protect her. Thinking of this, his heart ached like a knife.

In order to fulfill his promise, Xuan He decided to find Qu Xin no matter what. Even in the face of unknown dangers, he must fulfill his promise to her.

The heartache was like an invisible force, pushing him forward. Before him was the steep cliff, and without a second thought, he tiptoed down to find her - no matter what, he had to find her!

"Master, what are you going to do?"

At this moment, a hand tightly grasped his sleeve, and a familiar voice shook Xuan He's body. Looking back, it was Qu Xin's smiling eyes.

"Miss Qu!" There was a hint of disbelief in his voice.

"Master, are you here to see me?" Qu Xin asked with her head tilted, looking playful and cute.

"Ah."

Xuan He responded simply, his eyes full of concern: "I thought you fell."

"So you just want to jump down and save me?"

Qu Xin was surprised at his impulsiveness. This cliff was the difference between life and death! Fortunately, she landed on an old tree, otherwise...

She struggled to climb to the ground. As soon as she came up, she saw Xuan He preparing to jump off the cliff and hurriedly stopped him.

"Yeah." He nodded again.
