Chapter 9 (2/2)
Wen Kexing stared back fully ”Monk Gu cares none for the mortals, all he seeks is the path of cultivation; the Poison King is said to have blended into the vast world of jianghu, it'd be a hard feat to find hiot the chance to meet this one… as for whether he's human or not, it's a story for another day”
They looked at each other after that, s malicious intentions
Zhou Zishu was the first to turn his eyes away ”Zhou-mou5 is merely a passerby, why is it that everyone have their eyes onreplied with aa spring hiking ”Then why doesn't Brother Zhou stay with the Zhaos for a while longer? Tai Hu is popular for its pretty scenery, whyaround a bit?”
”This useless one has already experienced Tai Hu's incredible view, staying will only create unnecessary inconveniences for Sir Zhao Not to mention we don't know each other that well; I did the favor for two silvers, it's not worth risking , ”Escorting the youngmerits, so that I won't have to endure any tortures in the Underworld after death That's all to it”
”Gathering ree, ”Correct, Brother Zhou truly shares the same mind with me; and as only beautiful people can do that, it is clear-”
Zhou Zishu's temples throbbed at ”it is clear”; he was about to interrupt when suddenly, a piercing screa
They both te pointed to the direction of the screa has appeared”
Zhou Zishu showed hesitation, but eventually decided to go towards the direction of the sound, grudgingly replying to the other at the same time, ”Eye problems are very serious, Brother Wen, you should look for a physician soon”
Wen Kexing followed close behind Zhou Zishu's qinggong6 had reached the stage where he could travel without leaving any traces, but the othera s the travelling, so as not to lose their vital energy, but Wen Kexing didn't seem to mind it ”Brother Zhou is very correct; I do have to see soet treated properly Up until now I'uise; what awful eyesight I have and I'm not even that old yet, how shaet rid of those eyes that were supposedly ”getting worse every day”
But on second thought, he didn't know enough about this man, and with the intellect and self-restraint of a for foolish like that
With an incredible speed, soon enough they reached the deeper part of the forest There they saw a corpse
The person died a ghastly death: dressed in black clothes, theirwide-open eyes Zhou Zishu felt a sense of faot to see the body clearly, so he bent down to inspect further He couldn't help but frown afterwards, ”Isn't this… Sir Mu, lord of Duan Jian Mountain Manor?”
Just thisto no ends for an hour; no one could have thought that he also becaht owl” like Zhou Zishu, then a dead owl, unfortunately
Wen Kexing approached as well, rubbing his chin with interest, ”Moonlit night, black clothes, it's possible that…”
Zhou Zishu turned to the other, ready to hear his deductions
Only for Wen Kexing to continue his brilliant train of thought: ”…that Lord Mu is out here picking flowers7?”
Zhou Zishu turned away, face expressionless, internally praising hi his coe's body or beside hiht, opened the front of his shi+rt On his chest was only a black mark in the shape of a hand
