I'm his wife, how come I don't know?

Jiang Chu woke up slowly, and the sky was still in a hazy dark color.

His mouth felt dry and his voice was hoarse, as if his throat was filled with fine sand.

Through the gray curtains, he vaguely saw the flickering candlelight, like the twinkling stars in the distance, faintly but persistently illuminating the dark corners.

He tried to support his heavy body and sat up, but this movement caused the candle flame to swing more violently and he almost fell down again.

When the waiter heard the noise, he immediately opened the curtain and carefully supported him, with worry written all over his face:

"Master, how do you feel? Would you like some water?"

Jiang Chu gently rubbed his brows, his eyes were confused, and his voice was hoarse:

"What's wrong with me?"

Suddenly, the passage of time seemed to freeze, and his sight was occupied by a string of numbers.

【1年113天：18小时：26分：56秒】

Jiang Chu felt an inexplicable sense of doubt in his heart and thought he was dazzled.

After rubbing his eyes, he realized that it was still more than a year, and then he shouted hoarsely: "Fuck!"

The waiter was startled by the sudden exclamation and raised his voice nervously:

"Master, what's wrong with you?" His voice echoed in the silent room.

The next second, the air around him suddenly rolled up a wave of spiritual energy.

The door was pushed open by an invisible force, and Si Ling walked in quickly with a cold face.

The waiter subconsciously took a step back and made room.

Si Ling stood in front of Jiang Chu's bed, stretched out his index and middle fingers, and gently placed them on Jiang Chu's pulse.

Jiang Chu was still in a daze. As their skin touched, two voices rang in his ears:

[Turtle: Lifespan +9]

[Turtle: Lifespan +9]

The hands of time seemed to jump again at this moment and showed:

【1年131天：18小时：21分：21秒】

"Senior Brother Si..." Jiang Chu called softly, with a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

Si Ling looked at him, loosened his hand, and said calmly: "Your spiritual power has recovered 80% and your wounds have been treated very well by your master. There is nothing serious."

"My master?" Jiang Chu's mind was blank. He didn't remember anything about his master.

Si Ling nodded, paused for a moment and then slowly said: "It was your master who stopped the bleeding and repaired your wounds."

Thinking of Master Xinglan, he was a very good master, both to the original owner and to him who had traveled through time.

A warm feeling ran through my heart.

He lowered his head and looked at the tiny scratches on the palm of his hand caused by controlling the puppet.

A deep condemnation welled up in my heart: Jiang Chu in the past was so cruel and ruthless. He didn't cherish those who were good to him. He was really stupid.

Suddenly Jiang Chu thought of something.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Si Ling with anxiety in his eyes:

"By the way, Senior Brother Si, did the competition cause any chaos?"

He didn't know whether the spirit beasts would get out of control after he fainted, and whether anyone would get hurt.

I didn’t expect that I almost died and still cared about others.

Si Ling looked at him deeply, shook his head slightly, and said softly:

"It's okay, don't think too much, just have a good rest."

Si Ling turned around to leave, but bumped into the waiter who was carrying tea at the door.

The waiter brought the tea tray with a smile on his face: "Master, please have some tea."

Si Ling wanted to ignore it, but when he got closer, a familiar fragrance came to his nose, making him stop involuntarily.

He picked up a teacup from the tea tray and took a sip. The light green tea aroma was mixed with the fragrance of jasmine, and the aftertaste was long.

Si Ling was absent-minded for a moment, as if the fragrance of tea evoked certain memories deep in his heart, making him forget the passage of time in this brief moment.

Jiang Chu's eyes fell on Si Ling, and with curiosity and inquiry, he asked softly:

"Brother Si, do you like the jasmine green tea that Xiao Wai stir-fries?"

Si Ling came back to his senses from the aroma of tea and responded lightly, "Yeah." There was a gloomy tone in his voice.

Jiang Chu smiled slightly.

"Then come more often when you are free. If you are not free, I will ask the waiter to bring some to you."

Si Ling pondered for a moment before slowly nodding.

This time he looked at the waiter carefully, sizing up this usually inconspicuous mortal servant of Jiang Chu.

The waiter's eyes were still calm, and he looked back at Si Ling with a smile, as if he didn't care about Si Ling's scrutiny.

Si Ling retracted his gaze, put down the teacup, turned around and left the room.

The door closed softly.

Jiang Chu was left alone to face the extra year and fell into silence for a long time.

Jiang Chu lay down on the bed and asked, "Waiter, how did I get back?"

"It was Master Si who brought you back." The waiter answered truthfully.

Jiang Chu nodded: I don’t know what happened, why the life span increased so much.

He touched his chest, which was as smooth as before, without any scars, as if the pearl had never pierced his chest.

"I understand. Put down the tea and go back to rest. I'm fine." Jiang Chu withdrew his gaze and turned to the waiter, with relief in his voice.

The waiter nodded calmly: "Okay, Master, call me if you need anything, I'll be next door."

The waiter seems to always be like this, inconspicuous, yet omnipresent, and will help you when you need it most.

"Squeak--" The door closed gently, and Jiang Chu fell into silence in the room.

He called out in his mind, "Master Turtle?"

【Wang Ba: Hmm? What are you calling me?】

Jiang Chu smiled secretly. This turtle was quite emotional and not mechanical at all.

Jiang Chu couldn't hold back his curiosity, so he asked the only person who knew the truth again:

"Master Turtle, how come I have been away for more than a year? Did Si Ling do something to me?"

【Wang Ba: No comment.】

Jiang Chu was unwilling to give up and continued to ask: "Master Turtle, good Master Turtle, if you tell me, I will know how to increase my lifespan next time."

【Wang Ba: Increasing your life span is your business, not mine.】

Jiang Chu thought about it and changed his strategy: "Master Turtle, good Master Turtle, how about this, you just tell me and I will help you do something you like?"

【Wang Ba: Let me think about it. 】

Jiang Chu continued to say coquettishly: "Grandpa Turtle~~~mighty and domineering Grandpa Turtle~~~~"

"Please be kind, Mr. Turtle~~~~"

【Tang Ba: Don’t do this to death! 】

But then, Wang Ba seemed to be moved by Jiang Chu's sincerity and put forward a condition:

[Tang Ba: There is a blue glowing stone in your mustard bag. Take it out and give it to me.]

Jiang Chu hurriedly took out the mustard bag and began to search, and finally found the seemingly ordinary blue transparent crystal in an inconspicuous corner.

The moment he took it out, the crystal turned into blue light and was sucked into his sea of ​​consciousness.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the golden turtle seemed very comfortable, and its voice became much lighter.

[Wang Ba: When you fainted after being stabbed by Zhu Zhu, it was Si Ling who hugged you. Your master healed your wounds. Si Ling held you horizontally and left Long Yin Immortal Mansion and came here.]

Jiang Chu was stunned. He didn't expect that just contact with Si Ling could extend his lifespan by more than a year.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This Si Ling is really an invincible blood bag."

Jiang Chu thought happily, but then he became a little worried: "Will he be affected if I suck his blood like this?"

[Wang Ba: Luck only applies to you, and has no effect on others. All causes and consequences are their own.]

Jiang Chu nodded: "I will try my best to find this blue crystal for you."

Jiang Chu's heart was surged with unprecedented motivation!

If he had known that Mr. Turtle would fall for this, he would have burrowed his head and tried to do it to Mr. Turtle!

【Wang Ba: Hehe.】

Wang Ba's response was playful, but it also revealed the cruel reality of this world.

[Wang Ba: Do you think this is a high-grade spirit stone that is so easy to find? If there are ten of them in this world, it is considered a high-level plane. ]

Jiang Chu was not discouraged by this.

"If we can find a piece, it's good for you and me, right?"

Jiang Chu continued to act cute and coquettish: "My dear Mr. Turtle, you are the only one in this world who knows the real me. Even if we are in a superior-subordinate relationship, I still have to respect you~"

【Wang Ba: Well, you have some conscience. Let me tell you another piece of news.】

Jiang Chu's eyes lit up: "Master Turtle, please speak!"

[Wang Ba: If the good people in this plane change their predetermined tragic ending because of you, for every person you change, you will directly increase the lifespan of ten people. When you have eight of them, you can directly return to your original world.]

Jiang Chu was surprised: "Shouldn't there be ten people?"

[Wang Ba: Big Brother, you are eighteen years old this year! You will be nineteen soon! Are you sure you don’t want it? ]

【Wang Ba: What a fool! 】

Jiang Chu then realized that this body was already eighteen years old.

And the mission is to live to be a hundred years old!

He could have shed nearly twenty years of burden.

"Hehe——" Jiang Chu chuckled, as if he was given a shot of chicken blood.

【Wang Ba: I am leaving, kneel down and greet. 】

The system is running and won't respond when I poke it.

Jiang Chu was thinking...

To change the bad ending of good people, wouldn't that mean changing the five people, including the master, three senior brothers, and Si Ling?

At present, he only knows that his master and three senior brothers suffered tragic endings because of him.

They are all very good and upright people.

As for Si Ling.

This biggest villain in the book clearly hated the demons and monsters the most at the beginning.

But in the end it was used by them, which seemed so strange.

Even though Si Ling, who was eroded by the Soul Sacrifice Banner, is no longer the original Si Ling, but...

Jiang Chu couldn't describe the feeling.

Jiang Chu felt tired as he thought about it, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

-

At daybreak, Jiang Chu was awakened by the purple light in the sky.

The purple air circled around him a few times like a naughty child, and then penetrated into his body.

Jiang Chu didn't sleep very soundly, but he had plenty of spiritual energy and seemed particularly alert.

Jiang Chu's personal clothes were torn, so he had to go to the sect to get a replacement. Now that he was not in the sect, he could only wear his own clothes.

She changed into an exquisite scarlet robe, and her hair stood up neatly, and she had to let her hair grow long at the back.

After all, he is not yet of age and cannot wear a crown.

When I opened the door, the waiter was already reading a book in the yard.

Jiang Chu looked at his hardworking back and felt really sad: If he is not the top scholar, then who is the top scholar?

As if hearing the noise, the waiter turned around and gave him a smile that went straight to his eyes: "Master, you're awake."

The waiter pushed the face wash and mouthwash over.

Also handed over a clean and soft face towel.

After Jiang Chu finished washing up, the waiter handed him a cup of jasmine tea.

Jiang Chu drank a cup, and the refreshing tea swirled in his stomach.

Jiang Chu gave a thumbs up: "Really good tea, who did you learn this skill from?"

"My mother used to get along very well with an outgoing daughter-in-law. When they were frying tea, they happened to smell the fragrance of a wild jasmine in the mountains."

"The two of them decided that since they had a lot of extra Wucha tea leaves, they might as well add some jasmine flowers to it, and so they came up with this jasmine tea."

Jiang Chu nodded and exclaimed: "The wisdom of the working people is truly endless."

"I would never have thought of adding flowers to green tea."

"They also tried adding roses, roses, and albizzia flowers, but in the end they all felt that jasmine and green tea were the best match." The waiter took the cup of tea that Jiang Chu had finished drinking.

Looking at his slightly crooked bun, his expression was full of helplessness.

"Young master, please sit here and I will tie your hair properly." The waiter turned and went to the room and came back soon.

Jiang Chu sat on a stone bench in the yard and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm not very good at tying my hair."

She nodded like a waiter and loosened his crooked high ponytail.

The pair of hands that were reading quickly tied up his black hair, neatly and with just the right amount of tightness, and fastened it with a scarlet hairband, which perfectly matched his scarlet robe that day.

The waiter looked at the clean and lively face after the hair was tied up and smiled.

"Young Master is the most smart and noble person I have ever seen."

Jiang Chu was amused by him: "What about Si Ling? He is ranked first in the appearance list of the cultivation world."

The waiter smiled sincerely: "Master Si is naturally cold and abstinent, but he also has a murderous and noble aura, but I think the flowers, plants and trees in this world have their own beauty, and each one appeals to one's own taste."

"In Xiaoer's place, the young master is number one."

Jiang Chu chuckled: "I'm so proud of you for praising me like this."

The waiter looked back at him with gentle eyes, not intending to joke.

This made Jiang Chu laugh again: "Hahaha, waiter, I didn't expect you would praise others like this."

The house next door.

Standing in the yard.

Si Ling, who had already finished washing up, didn't think there was anything wrong.

He agreed with what the waiter said.

Jiang Chu stood up and left him another ingot of gold.

"Then I'll go out." Jiang Chu walked towards the door.

The waiter reluctantly accepted the gold and said, "I wish you victory in the competition and a safe return."

Jiang Chu walked out of the door and waved at him without looking back, as a gesture of accepting his blessing.
