Zhou Zishu abruptly stopped walking and sized up the four cave entrances with a frown ”There's water and wind in here, the chances for someone to poison us are low,” He said

Zhou Zishu replied calras, even this…” Wen Kexing said in surprise
Zhou Zishu was nonplussed ”Of course I don't, that's all I know about it” He decided to sit down as walking further was an i back onto the wall, he carelessly let the wound graze the surface He shi+vered and slightly grimaced, unable to process the fact that a onize hi seen as a nuisance everywhere he went
Wen Kexing thought about how he at least knehat ”three directions and eight trigrams” actually was and felt a sense of intellectual superiority; but after he remembered that Zhou Zishu sold himself for two silvers, the superiority fell flat So he sat down beside the injured hted at the other'sa irl”
Zhou Zishu closed his eyes to recuperate, paying no attention to hi silently stood up, walked away and returned after a while Zhou Zishu felt a spike of coldness on his shoulder, and he opened his eyes to Wen Kexing using a soaked piece of cloth to wash the wound
On instinct, Zhou Zishu avoided the touch, but Wen Kexing held back his shoulder, ”Don't move”
Zhou Zishu asked with a pained face, ”Where did you get the water fro replied After so water, really clean”
