Chapter 431: Zhizhi, Unstoppable

Half an hour later, Old Qi came into the courtyard carrying the prepared medicine.

In the yard, Sang Zhixia and Qi Yan'er sat opposite each other. The smile on Qi Yan'er's face blended into the shining sunlight. It was obviously very gentle, but in the eyes of Old Qi, it was like a needle prick.

Sang Zhixia noticed that Mr. Qi had stood up. Seeing this, Mr. Qi smiled and waved his hand: "Sit down and stay quiet. I just came to bring Yan'er a bowl of soup. I won't disturb you after she finishes it."

"Yan'er, this is..."

“Hmm…”

Qi Yan'er glanced at the bowl in Old Qi's hand and shook her head without thinking.

Qi Lao's fingers holding the bowl trembled violently, and the steaming medicine spilled out and landed on the back of his hand. He looked at Qi Yan'er with an endlessly apologetic smile, and his voice trembled: "Yan'er, you really don't want to eat it?"

"This soup has a lot of your favorite preserves. Daddy has tasted it and it's definitely not bitter. How about eating today's soup?"

Qi Yan'er's eyes were filled with even more guilt. After looking at each other for a while, she slowly shook her head.

I don’t want to eat anymore.

My life is hanging by a thread. It's too tiring to live like this.

It’s enough to be able to hold on until today.

Mr. Qi could no longer hold on and turned his face suddenly to the side.

Qi Yan'er tried to lean over towards Old Qi's trembling body, looking up at her father, who was less than fifty years old but had white hair, and silently mouthed: Dad, I'm sorry...

It hurts so much, I won't go the rest of the way...

"Yan'er!"

"Zhizhi?"

Xu Yu, who had never entered the courtyard, heard the heartbroken sobbing from inside. Seeing Sang Zhixia coming out, he stepped forward, grabbed Sang Zhixia's hand, rubbed it between his palms, and said softly, "It's a good thing to be free."

Qi Yan'er married a bad man in her life, which brought trouble to herself and her family. After years of suffering, she was able to pass away leaning in her biological father's arms. The ending was considered good.

In this situation, continuing to be kept alive by Mr. Qi using various medicines is not necessarily a blessing.

Sang Zhixia exhaled with mixed feelings. As she held Xu Yu's hand and walked out, she said with confusion, "Qi Yan'er hopes that I can help Elder Qi, but I can't figure out what Elder Qi needs my care for."

Xu Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and he said softly, "Please take care of me?"

"right."

Sang Zhixia recalled what Qi Yan'er had tried so hard to describe, and said with a mixture of laughter and tears, "Old Qi's power may not be as great as before, but his connections are so complicated and complicated that they can't be shared with others. How could such a powerful old man really need my care?"

Mr. Qi was restricted in many ways and was forced into a difficult situation.

But that's all in the past.

In the future, whether Mr. Qi wants to stir up trouble or enjoy his retirement, he will have many options.

Such a ruthless person doesn't need the care of a small shrimp.

and……

Sang Zhixia sighed and said, "Old Qi's roots are in Shu. We have to go home. From now on, we are thousands of miles apart, one in the south and the other in the north. Whether we can meet again is another matter."

Xu Yu took the gauze hat and put it on Sang Zhixia's head, and said without emotion, "Did you promise her?"

Sang Zhixia lifted the veil of her gauze hat and blinked: "Qi Yan'er?"

"right."

"I told her I wouldn't be staying in Shu for long, and I probably wouldn't be able to help much later. She didn't say anything, but just kept saying thank you to me..."

Sang Zhixia paused for a moment, then smiled wryly under Xu Yu's gentle gaze, saying, "I'd guessed it a long time ago, but seeing it still makes me feel uneasy."

The teacher left and later died.

The Qi family's father and daughter have been through so much trouble for many years, and now they don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Xu Yu raised his hand and gently touched Sang Zhixia's eyebrows, saying slowly: "It's all normal in the world, there's no need to mind it."

"I heard from Bai Ziqing that there's a great chef hidden in the Third Alley in the north of the city. His Shu cuisine is truly exceptional. Since we have some free time, why don't we go try it?"

"And didn't you say before that you wanted to give earthenware ceremonies to the little ones at home? Since the weather is nice today, why not go for a walk?"

Sang Zhixia was not in a good mood at first, but Xu Yu's mouth gradually started to go off track, and he somehow ended up complaining about the little kids at home.

Xu Yanran looks like a housekeeper despite her young age.

Xu Mingyang is just a big guy with a lot of fat on his body but he has no brains at all.

Xu Mingxu is quite clever, but it's a pity that this guy is a smiling fox with cunning intentions. He doesn't look like Xu Yu at all, and he is exactly the next Xu Minghui!

As for Xu Jinxi...

Xu Yu sighed sadly, "Maybe our Jinxi is too young and her brain hasn't fully developed yet. I always think this girl is silly. I don't know who she looks like."

Sang Zhixia was just listening at first, but as she listened a little longer she couldn't stand it anymore.

How can a big brother do this?

Those who knew him heard him making harsh comments about his younger siblings, while those who didn't thought he was picking out unwanted piglets at the market.

Couldn't pick a good one!

Sang Zhixia grabbed Xu Yu's arm in a fit of rage, and when Xu Yu bared his teeth, he said fiercely, "Don't talk nonsense."

"Xu Mingyang just said he wanted weapons from Shu, so how did that make him a reckless man? It's a good thing that Xu Mingxu loves reading, he's not a nerd!"

"Also, Yanran is not a housekeeper! Xu Jinxi is not stupid either!"

Xu Yu was pinched so hard that his face twisted and he gasped. He was still bitter and unconvinced, "What did I say wrong?"

"Zhizhi, there has to be a limit to your partiality. I'm your man, okay? Aren't you afraid that I'll be sad?"

Sang Zhixia suppressed a smile and gave Xu Yu a look: "Afraid."

"I'm scared to death."

Before Xu Yu could feel proud, Sang Zhixia raised her eyebrows calmly: "Why don't you show me how to be sad now?"

Xu Yu pressed the issue further: "Will you give me money if I perform well?"

"How much?"

Sang Zhixia couldn't help but burst out laughing after a long while. Seeing this, Xu Yu became even more proud. He put his chin on Sang Zhixia's shoulder like a boneless person and said lazily, "Finally, you laughed."

"So my comment just now really hit the nail on the head, didn't it?"

Sang Zhixia was forced to move forward with the boss hanging on his shoulders. Upon hearing this, he poked the back of Xu Yu's hand and said, "Keep talking nonsense."

"When I get back and see those little guys, I'll tell them everything you said. Don't come to me and cry if you get liquidated."

Xu Yu gasped in dissatisfaction and grumbled softly, "You're so cruel as to kill someone and betray your own husband?"

"kill……"

"Killer?"

Sang Zhixia suddenly stopped muttering to herself, a flash of light flashed in her mind, and she turned to stare at Xu Yu and said, "Master Qi..."

"Will he..."

Xu Yu, who had guessed this long ago, smiled a little less. Amidst Sang Zhixia's sudden realization, he smiled bitterly and said, "Zhizhi, if someone like that is determined to commit suicide, there's no way to stop him."

"But even if I really want to commit suicide, it won't be now."

Xu Yu sighed and grasped Sang Zhixia's stiff shoulders. As he slowly walked forward, he whispered in Sang Zhixia's ear, "The enemy hasn't been cleared yet, and the remaining troops must be properly arranged. That old man won't let himself die until all these things are done."

But after all the liquidation is completed, whether to live or die will all depend on the old madman's decision.

Xu Yu was reluctant to comment, but simply said, "We can pay more attention before we leave. After we leave, it will all be up to fate."

Those who want to live may still be saved.

If someone wants to die, even the Golden Immortal will be powerless to save him.

If one has no attachment to the human world, the best thing for bystanders to do when they see this is to help him/her.
