Chapter 36 – My Ah-qiao is the best!
Seeing that Yan Wushi+ was treating Shen Qiao so inti s care of Shen Qiao for reatly for his behavior and morals She hoped her master would treat Shen Qiao well However, she had no idea how difficult it was for Shen Qiao to s that piece of candied fruit It rolled and churned inside his stoive it back to Yan Wushi+, but that would not be in line ho Shen Qiao was Therefore, he had to s it in the end, only to find that today's medicine tasted more bitter than ever Even the candied fruit didn't help
Yan Wushi+ looked at hi that the other person was on the verge of turning against him, he finally said slowly, ”I went to the palace today to meet the Emperor of Zhou He asked me to tell you that he wanted to see you”
Shen Qiao was slightly taken aback Yan Wushi+ had indeed succeeded in diverting his attention ”To see me?”
Yan Wushi+ said, ”I'll take you withHe will ”
”I'ht now Does Sect Master Yan knohy the Euess”
”…”
Shen Qiao knew that the other person had a wicked character and would not answer easily So he really began to ponder on it
”I attended the birthday party at the Residence of Su just today There was no way that the Eht betweenso soon, so it's not about that Is it because of Mount Xuandu then? Because Yu Ai received the invitation to preach in Eastern Tujue? Even though the Northern Zhou and the Tujue are allied and also connected by ainst each other They've never trusted each other either Is there so that the Emperor wants me to do?”
”You're so smart!” Yan Wushi+ clapped his hands ”See? Even if I don't tell you, you can still guess most of it yourself”
Shen Qiao frowned ”What exactly does he want et there to I need you to do”
Shen Qiao shook his head ”I can't help if it's anything i?” Yan Wushi+ chuckled His fingers brushed past the side of Shen Qiao's face and landed directly on his lips in the end
Shen Qiao didn't pull hied with a thin layer of redness
Only then did Yan Wushi+ finally continue, ”Mount Xuandu flourished during the Qin-Han period I heard that the first leader of Mount Xuandu was a wandering Daoist as especially skilled at telling people's fortune through the sound of their voices Even Xu Fu was once a disciple of his”
Shen Qiao laughed, ”People love to tell and exaggerate fake stories I don't know if the founder of Mount Xuandu was related to the Marquis of Mingci, but physiogno are indeed essential skills for the Daoist sects The so called voice-based fortune-telling sounds like an advanced skill, but it's nothing special if you know about it Voices are affected by people's bodies, so you can tell a person's state of health based on their voice For exa is full of heat, then their voice will be deep and husky like that of a hand bellow It's not hard to identify these things as long as one has soe and knows about martial arts”
As soon as he said it, Yan Wushi+ knew that Shen Qiao o and listen to Yuwen Yong's voice”
Shen Qiao frowned: ”There should be many master physicians in the inner imperial palace The most fundamental medical principle is the need to look, listen, question, and feel the pulse before diagnosing If the Emperor of Zhou is really sick, is it possible that none of those doctors have found out about it? I'h to offer much help”
Yan Wushi+ explained, ”In his early years, Yuwen Yong saen Yu being poisoned to death by an imperial physician that Yuwen Hu had bribed Fro a doctor He wouldn't easily call in the imperial physicians even when he's sick However, he has been ht for many years, and soo I'ement in mind, but I still want you to have a listen”
Shen Qiao thought about it and replied with a light nod, ”Alright then”
A smile crept across Yan Wushi+'s face: ”My Ah-qiao is the best!”
Shen Qiao showed no expression
Yan Wushi+ said, ”I have a gift for you”
With a clap of his hand, so you would like?”
Yan Wushi+ ordered, ”Bring me that sword case that I keep in the study”
The servant girl nodded Soon, she returned with the sword case and offered it to him with both hands
Yan Wushi+ took it over and ran his hand through it a few times Then he smiled and placed the sword case into Shen Qiao's arroped it to open the lock on the sword box When his fingers touched the sword in it, his heart skipped a beat with delight: ”The Grieving Celestial Sword?”
”Do you like it?” Yan Wushi+ asked, srateful that Sect Master Yan has taken good care of it” After Shen Qiao fell off the cliff and woke up, the Grieving Celestial Sas no longer with hiyan about it then, but the other person's reply was very vague so he never asked again After all, the sas not necessarily in Yan Wushi+'s hands He could have lost it when he fell Even if Yan Wushi+ did have it, Shen Qiao would be too ashath at that ti it back? His ave the sword to him when he was seven and it had never left him, not even a moment, ever since Wherever he was, the sould be there too It was soCelestial Sword in his hands, he felt it back and forth with his palm His joy was so obvious that even his face seeure carved from white jade
Everyone liked beautiful people, and Yan Wushi+ was no exception Even though he had no particularly tender feelings toward the fair, it didn't prevent hi the person iain”
Shen Qiao: ”…”
The smile vanished fro this, Yan Wushi+ had no choice but to stop regretfully, ”Ah-Qiao, who are you showing this long face to? I've returned the sword to you intact How are you going to thank me for it?”
Shen Qiao had also learned to be sly by now, ”I thought that Sect Master Yan returned the sword to o with you to hed and said indulgently, ”Alright, whatever you say”
Shen Qiao did not respond to his momentary crazy behavior He suddenly said, ”My root ed Just like you said, even with the help of the reoing to be extremely difficult to restore them to their previous level However, I have no intention to destroy o down the Demonic path If you want to raise me to be your opponent, I'ht or ten years If Sect Master Yan permits, I would like to leave the Country of Zhou afterwith the Emperor”
Yan Wushi+ did not take him seriously: ”After you leave the Country of Zhou, where else can you go? Without ht you in turns, you will only be placing yourself at the mercy of others in your current condition”
Shen Qiao said, ”There are countless ways to practice Daoism, but ultimately, there are only two, and that is to withdraw oneself frost them As I've decided to find my ”Way” inside the mortal world, I'll have to experience all the trials and torments rooted in the various desires of people in order to achieve that Although I'ht now, I can still think of so to protect myself If I rely on Sect Master Yan for shelter all the ti on Mount Xuandu?”
It was just this kind of expression He had already sunken to the depths of a slough of riht to get on his feet and began cli upwards step by step The betrayal by his family and friends, his kindness that was repaid by enh any of it in his heart
