The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Chapter 165 She is not He Qing!

“…Sister-in-law.”

The weak call brought Liu He back to reality. She squatted beside the bed anxiously, looking at Ye Xi's pale face, full of worry.

"How is it? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Ye Xi shook her head with difficulty. The wound was on her back, and any movement of her head would cause pain, so the amplitude was very small.

"... Shan Juan." Ye Xi cleared his throat, and his voice finally became much clearer. "How is Shan Juan?"

Her intimate way of calling her made Liu He feel a little uncomfortable. He frowned slightly, but still answered her.

"...She's fine, just tired and caught a cold. She's resting in the room next to you."

When Ye Xi heard that she had caught a cold, she tried to get up and go see her. Liu He frowned even deeper and held her up: "Where are you going?"

Ye Xi's face was pale. After these two struggles, sweat had already formed on the tip of his nose. "I'm going to check on Shan Juan."

Liu He's eyes were unfriendly: "Are you worried about her?"

Ye Xi nodded subconsciously: "Of course."

Liu He didn't say anything for a long time after hearing this. Finally, he let go of her and stood up, turning his back to her: "It's next door, you go ahead."

Her clothes were still wet. She had been busy standing by the bed and had not had time to change them. The coldness all over her body seemed to penetrate into her flesh and blood.

Even though he was in so much pain, he still struggled to see her, and she didn't even show any concern for him.

In the past, Liu He wouldn't have asked for so much, nor would he have cared about it. But for over a month, he'd been fed up with Ye Xi's care and attention, and now, the slightest neglect made him feel uncomfortable.

this is not good.

Ye Xi stared at her back in a daze. The place where she had just been helped was still cold. She belatedly looked at Liu He's wet clothes.

"Sister-in-law, are you...are you cold? Haven't you changed your clothes yet?"

Liu He was stunned, and the dark clouds in his heart quickly dissipated. With just one sentence, all the unhappy speculations disappeared.

"Well, not yet."

Ye Xi's tone suddenly became anxious: "Why don't you change? It's so cold, what if you catch a cold?"

Liu He turned around and looked at her meaningfully: "I only want three rooms, one for you, one for her, and one for those soldiers. Where do you want me to go to exchange?"

Ye Xi said without hesitation: "Just change here! I won't peek!"

Liu He's smile widened as she saw more and more things about Ye Xi that fascinated her. Whenever Ye Xi showed a look she had never seen before, she would feel a strong desire to savor it.

For example, nowadays, it is rare to see people who are both eager and embarrassed.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, then Liu He turned around and untied his belt: "It's okay, you can look at it if you want."

She said this on purpose, and she had already guessed that Ye Xi would hide when she said this.

As expected, when she glanced back, she saw Ye Xi with her eyes closed. Perhaps because she had no improper thoughts about "He Qing", she did not show any shyness at all and was very frank.

Liu He felt a little disappointed that his evil intentions could not succeed, but it did not have much impact.

The clothing slid down her shoulders and fell to the ground with a soft thud. Ye Xi waited quietly, the sound of the fabric rubbing against her body soft and gentle. As Liu He put on one of her sleeves, her fingers hit the back of the chair, the pain was obvious, and she involuntarily took a deep breath.

Ye Xi opened her eyes subconsciously, but before she could utter any words of concern, her attention was drawn to the enchanting flower blooming on her white shoulders.

The flower was brightly colored, as if it were a drop of blood. It was about the size of a palm and lay quietly on Liu He's right shoulder, showing the burning vitality that belonged only to this person.

Ye Xi even forgot to blink. Her entire attention was attracted by the flower. Her eyes were obsessed with tracing the outline of the flower until the fabric completely covered it.

Ye Xi came back to her senses and clenched the quilt tightly with her hands - her sister-in-law definitely would not have such a tattoo on her body, she was not her sister-in-law at all!

So who is she? Why does she look exactly like my sister-in-law? Is she a disguise? Or something else?

What is her purpose in replacing her sister-in-law? Who does she belong to?

Is she good or bad?

The scene in the rain just now suddenly appeared. Liu He's eyes looked very firm and reliable under his bamboo hat: "Come up, I will take you away."

This scene affected Ye Xi's judgment. She subconsciously hoped that the person in front of her had good intentions, so she did not expose him directly, but just tried a little to prove her judgment.

"Sister-in-law, do you still remember how many fish we caught when we went fishing before the New Year?"

fishing?

Unexpectedly, she had so many memories with Taoer.

Liu He was lost in thought, and his answer was somewhat nonchalant: "Three tails? Or four? I can't remember."

Ye Xi's eyes gradually darkened - the capital city was covered with heavy snow in winter, and the ponds were frozen. Liu Tao came from the southern barbarians and was very afraid of the cold, so she had never fished in winter.

This person can make such a guess, she is really not He Qing!

"Yeah, I forgot too." Ye Xi lowered his head, feeling wary of her, and asked tentatively, "Did sister-in-law catch any rare fish when she was in Nanman?"

Liu He had already fastened his waist belt. He turned around and saw Ye Xi with her head down. He found it interesting and walked slowly towards her.

"Rare fish..."

She was thinking about Ye Xi's problem, but after knowing that this person was not herself, Ye Xi always felt that something was different everywhere.

He Qing's voice was soft and velvety, with a touch of sweetness and innocence. But this person's voice was clearly colder and clearer. It was her fault that she hadn't noticed the obvious difference, as their faces were identical.

"I used to catch a mullet when I was a kid. It was very beautiful." Although it was shot with a spear, not fished.

Patrol fish.

This is a fish unique to Nanman. It has beautiful scales, but is very flexible and difficult to catch, so its price in the market is quite high.

This person also seems to be a southern barbarian.

Ye Xi's brain was working rapidly, trying to get more useful information, when her chin was lifted up and she unexpectedly met those dark gray pupils.

"I've changed, but how long do you have to keep your head down?"

Ye Xi swallowed subconsciously, seeing his own reflection in the dark grey pupils, and noticed another difference -

He Qing's pupils are black, but upon closer inspection, this person's pupils are dark gray, not pure black!

So why do they look so similar? My sister-in-law is the only living princess of the Nanman tribe, and everyone knows it. Could it be a disguise?

No, I can’t figure it out with just one brain. I have to go find Shan Juan to add another brain.

"I..." She leaned back, her chin leaving Liu He's fingertips, "I'm going to see Shan Juan."

This name made Liu He's mood drop again. When she saw Ye Xi standing up while enduring the pain, grabbing the clothes on the side and putting them on to go out, she finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"The doctor just said that you can't walk around. Not only did you hurt your back, but you also have a wound on your leg. You need to rest."

Ye Xi looked at his legs. Maybe there were just bruises or some scrapes.

Is this considered an injury?
