I am the villain in the book

The main hall was filled with fragrance, and plates of exquisite dishes emitted an enticing luster, but neither of them had their minds on these delicacies.

“Young Master Wei, are you saying...”

“Yes, I do have a way to remove the scar on your face.”

Wei Changtian nodded, gently putting down his chopsticks.

This was not difficult for him, and he could even do it now if he wanted to.

【Century-old Dragon's Blood Fruit: Spiritual Medicine (Earth Grade), crush and apply, can heal all external injuries within a breath, 50 points】

Compared to the "cure all diseases" Mica Ganoderma, this Dragon's Blood Fruit is much less effective, but it is also much cheaper.

However, even if it is cheap, he can't give it away for nothing, and as for what Wei Changtian wants from Ning Yu Ke...

“Young Master Wei, what do you want me to do?!”

Ning Yu Ke leaned forward slightly, her breathing becoming a little rapid.

Wei Changtian thought to himself that women are indeed willing to pay any price to become beautiful, and replied:

“I want you to go to a place and get something for me.”

“Where to go? What to get?”

“I can't tell you this yet, but...”

Wei Changtian pondered for a moment, and continued: “However, this matter may be a little dangerous.”

“Dangerous?”

“Yes.”

Wei Changtian nodded, looking directly at Ning Yu Ke and said, word by word: “It might be fatal.”

“...”

Ning Yu Ke was instantly speechless, and Wei Changtian didn't urge her, just finished his sentence.

“It's not necessarily fatal, in fact, there is a ninety percent chance that you will be safe and sound.”

“There is no rush, Princess can think about it for a few days, and tell me after you have thought it through.”

“And as long as the Princess agrees, I will immediately help you remove the scar.”

“...”

After Wei Changtian finished speaking, he picked up his chopsticks again and began to eat, without any sense of guilt for "taking advantage of someone's misfortune".

He originally had no obligation to help Ning Yu Ke, and now he has explained the pros and cons to her clearly, even if Ning Yu Ke really loses her life because of this... that is her own choice.

At least he didn't lie to her.

Time passed little by little, Ning Yu Ke just sat there blankly, until Wei Changtian was almost finished eating a bowl of rice before she gently opened her mouth and said:

“Young Master Wei, can I ask a question?”

“Ask away.”

Wei Changtian nodded, already roughly guessing what Ning Yu Ke wanted to ask.

It must be something like "Why do I have to go and get that thing?", "What is the specific danger?", and so on.

However, he guessed wrong this time.

Ning Yu Ke didn't ask any of the questions that Wei Changtian had expected, but lowered her eyes and said softly:

“Young Master Wei, that thing... is it very important to you?”

“...”

“Then...”

Ning Yu Ke raised her head, giving the answer very softly but very firmly.

“I agree.”

Xu Hour, south of Shuzhou City, Fuyan Ward.

Today is the first day of November, which is not a festival, but the entire Fuyan Ward is decorated with lanterns and bustling with activity.

This is a unique tradition in Shuzhou.

In earlier years, the farmers of Shuzhou would enter the city to sell grain during the period from the end of October to the beginning of November. If they had a good harvest and sold the grain for more money, these farmers would spend some money in the city.

Buy some fabric for the family to make new clothes, buy some cheap jewelry for the wife, go to a brothel to reward yourself... It's a bit similar to the feeling of "Double Eleven" in the previous life.

Because Fuyan Ward is the "commercial and entertainment center" of Shuzhou City, basically every year, you only need to see how lively Fuyan Ward is during this period to know how the grain harvest is this year.

Later, the government simply decided to hold a lantern festival in Fuyan Ward on the first day of November every year, in order to seek a good omen of "good weather for the crops".

Although it is a lantern festival, it is actually similar to a temple fair, with stalls selling all kinds of snacks, martial arts performers wielding knives and guns, and Jianghu swindlers helping people calculate fortunes and predict good and bad luck.

Wei Changtian was not very interested in this, and felt a little bored after strolling around for a while.

However, Ning Yu Ke looked very interested, her eyes outside the veil constantly looking around, as if she found everything interesting.

It is estimated that she does not usually go out much.

“Miss Yu Ke...”

After walking for a while, Wei Changtian turned his head and said to Ning Yu Ke: “There is a tea house in front, let's go in and take a rest.”

Because he was outside, he did not call Ning Yu Ke "Princess", and Ning Yu Ke seemed to like this more intimate title, smiling and nodding in response:

“Okay, there happen to be lantern riddles over there, how about you and I compete to see who can guess more?”

“I can't guess lantern riddles.”

Wei Changtian shook his head very honestly, thinking to himself that besides reciting poetry, he knows how to guess a jb lantern riddle.

However, Ning Yu Ke only thought that he was being modest, and pulled him quickly into the tea house, standing in front of a row of colorful lanterns.

There were not many people around, only a few young men and women in gorgeous clothes frowning and thinking hard.

It is estimated that the lantern riddles here are relatively difficult, and ordinary people can't guess them.

Isn't this forcing a duck onto a perch...

Wei Changtian touched his nose, helplessly looking at the small piece of paper hanging under a yellow lantern.

【Less than a thousand on the left, more than ten thousand on the right】

What is this thing?

Without a doubt, the first question directly stumped Wei Changtian, but Ning Yu Ke only thought for four or five breaths before smiling and walking to the next lantern.

Good fellow, she guessed it already?!

Wei Changtian felt that his IQ had been insulted, so he also challenged the lantern riddles, still standing in place, racking his brains.

Looking at the meaning of the question... the character should be a left-right structure, and the left part has fewer strokes than the character "thousand", and the right part has more strokes than the character "ten thousand".

Hmm...

Although he knew the train of thought, he thought for a long time but still couldn't guess it, and when he looked up again, he found that Ning Yu Ke had already walked to the fifth lantern.

Forget it, I give up.

Shaking his head, Wei Changtian prepared to find a place to sit down and wait for a while.

However, at this moment, he saw a young master approaching Ning Yu Ke, cupping his hands and saying something.

It should be hitting on her.

After all, although Ning Yu Ke was wearing a veil, her overall temperament was still unquestionable.

I wonder if the young master would be frightened if Ning Yu Ke suddenly took off her veil.

Wei Changtian curled his lips, and while walking towards that side, a bunch of "classic" scenes appeared in his mind.

For example, the young master orders his guards to beat him up, but he is counter-killed by his own hands.

For example, the young master wants to compete with him in literary talent, and his good poem shocks the audience.

Speaking of which, if he recites poetry later, which one should he recite?

Xin Qiji's "Green Jade Case · Lantern Festival" is good, it suits the occasion.

I searched for her in the crowd a thousand times, then suddenly turning my head, I discover her there, where the lanterns are dimly lit... Wouldn't this directly charm Ning Yu Ke?!

“Young Master Wei”

Ning Yu Ke's voice entered his ears, and Wei Changtian also recovered from his "beautiful imagination", looked up at the young master, preparing to start a big show after he said something impolite.

But who knew that the young master only glanced at him, and then hurriedly lowered his head and apologized:

“Ah! I didn't know that this girl came with you, brother. I'm very sorry, please forgive us!”

Wei Changtian: “? ? ?”

What's going on?

This shouldn't be the script!
