C67 (1/2)

In the past few days, Jin Chupei almost immediately returned back to the Sensory Temple, he seemed to be more concerned about the poison in her body, and whether or not his life was in danger.

Qing Xiu carried the tea to the table, said that his master was still studying the medical books, and turned to leave. It was hard to tell if he was happy or angry, but he did not have the same enthusiasm he had when he came.

Although he did not care what others thought, he had not seen Ji Zi for the past few days. He did not know how his research was, and whether or not he could cure Sun Jinzi's poison.

”Has your master made any progress?”

Just as Qing Xiu walked to the door, he heard Jin Chupei's voice. He wanted to pretend that he didn't care about it. However, thinking about how this man was truly worried about Senior Sister's safety, he thought for a moment before turning around.

”Master has been studying it for the past few days. He hasn't come out yet, so I have no way to ask.”

Even though Qing Xiu did not manage to say what he was thinking, Jin Chupei still thanked him politely. Although he was not happy about Sun Jinzi, he still had a good impression of her, excluding Sun Jinzi.

Also, wasn't Qing Xiu the same? In the past, he had always felt that although Jin Chupei was a martial general, he didn't have any ruthlessness on his body. But seeing how he treated his senior sister and how she knocked him out, he felt that he was actually a barbarian too.

However, Jin Chupei did not plan to leave. In the past, he would still arrange troops in his training room once he was done, but now, he did not have that thought in mind. As long as he calmed down, he would inevitably think of Sun Jinzi.

This woman was truly heartless. Even if she said that she would ignore him, she would ignore him. Sometimes, he would also hate himself, so he couldn't be as heartless as her.

Ji Zi had already studied this poison in the library for a long time, but he still didn't have a single clue. If this poison was brought out from his mother's womb, then it had already been hidden within his body for more than ten years.

Back when he picked up Sun Jinzi, he didn't discover anything wrong with her body. Then, even if it was recently, with Sun Jinzi's medical skills, he shouldn't have been unaware.

Ji Zi scratched his messy white hair. Ji Zi was about to go crazy, if one were to talk about poisonous grass that could cause a chill throughout the body, it would only be the cold roots. This kind of poisonous grass was not enough to poison a person to death, so normally no one would use cold roots to poison someone.

However, Ji Zi felt that it was still necessary to take a closer look at the poison in Sun Jinzi's body. That day, he did not see it clearly, he only felt that her body was very cold.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he decided to stop thinking about it. After his mind relaxed, Ji Zi felt that he was both hungry and sleepy. He needed to eat a good meal and sleep for a bit.

After exiting the medicine hut, Ji Zi saw a person sitting in his tea house with his back facing her and his face hidden. His body looked very familiar, so he guessed that it should be Jin Chupei.

Without bothering to clean up, Ji Zi entered the house.

”Why is Brother Chu Pei here?”

When Jin Chupei heard the voice, he knew that Ji Zi had come out. He was ecstatic in his heart and he suppressed it a little.

Ji Zi laughed twice, stroked his beard and sat in front of Jin Chupei. It was not the first time Jin Chupei was this slovenly in his many years of marching, but seeing Ji Zi made him want to laugh.

Jin Chupei stared fixedly at Ji Zi. What he wanted to know now was whether or not the poison in Sun Jinzi had a cure? However, Ji Zi had already shouted for Qing Xiu to bring over the chess piece after he sat down. He wanted to fight with Jin Chupei for three hundred rounds.

The chess piece was brought over very quickly, and Jin Chupei didn't even have time to think how to ask if Sun Jinzi's poison was cured.

His deep thoughts led to a chess game where Jin Chupei was defeated easily.

”Brother Chu Pei, what's on your mind?”

Originally, Ji Zi thought that playing chess with Jin Chupei was the most interesting thing to do, but he was already very sleepy.

”Is that poison of yours interesting?”

Poison? This poison that came out of Jin Chupei's mouth caused him to be at a loss on what to do. When he recalled that the only one who was poisoned was Sun Jinzi, Ji Zi also instantly understood what was going on.

”Brother Chu Pei, do you want to know what poison is in my disciple?”

Even though Jin Chupei's heart was continuously churning and shouting, he was trying his best to calm himself down and not reveal any clues.

However, Ji Zi was also an experienced man, how could he not see through Jin Chupei's predicament? Thinking of how he would always address his brother as such, he had never called him big brother. In the beginning, Ji Zi did not mind, but now that he thought about it, he understood why.

No wonder this brat was so concerned about his disciple. From his point of view, this Jin Chupei was someone he could rely on.

”You want to know?” Ji Zi looked at Jin Chupei with his burning eyes, wanting to clearly see the emotions behind Jin Chupei's eyes.

It was probably because Jin Chupei felt the desire to surrender in his eyes that Jin Chupei then looked away, lowering his head and putting away his chess piece.

He had retracted a total of 103 chess pieces. It seemed that after a hundred and three moves with Ji Zi, he had been defeated.

”If you really want to know that you've won a round from me, I'll tell you.”

Jin Chupei did not agree. He, who was only holding onto the black seed, had already taken the initiative to attack and didn't hesitate at all.

Seeing Jin Chupei make his move, Ji Zi also moved. His grey beard stuck to his chin, but he kept on stroking it, making Jin Chupei feel that it was really funny.

Before, Ji Zi only felt that he was evenly matched with Jin Chupei in a game of chess, but now, he gradually felt that it was going to be a bit difficult for him, it seemed that this brat had been holding back and did not bring out his true strength.
