Chapter 192: The Gu Master Who Cultivated the Young Hero
For no reason, Qi He thought that the person named Xie Qing was a man.
That person had been so close to the master, and that person could do it, so why can't he?
Therefore, Qi He deliberately did not treat the wound that was torn during sword practice today. He still felt that it was not enough to aggravate the injury, so he deliberately changed hands to hold the sword in front of Ying Shuang and the others to let them notice this.
If there were an outsider present, the master would not refuse to apply medicine to him. If the master found out, perhaps he would let him handle it himself.
Qi He wasn't quite sure whether his body would be attractive to his master, but he had to give it a try.
So what if he used his appearance to seduce people? Qi He was not ashamed of his despicable means. If his master was willing, he would climb straight onto the bed to serve him and kiss every inch of his master. It would be more of a reward to him than a flattery.
Because he had lost his vision, Qi He became even more sensitive to where other people's gazes were directed. His master just paused three times below his navel.
Does this mean that Master is also interested in him?
As long as it is possible, that's enough.
After putting on his clothes and returning to his room, Qi He's mind calmed down completely and he kept trying to figure out the intention of his master's actions.
He didn't find it strange. His master was not the kind of person who was indifferent to the mundane world. He never showed his emotions and sometimes he could even be said to be shrewd and good at playing people in the palm of his hand.
Qi He sat in the yard, stroking the specially made chessboard with his fingers. There were slight depressions on the board, which allowed him to identify the locations where the chess pieces would land.
Before he lost his eyesight, Qi He had learned chess, but he only knew the basics. Later, he learned how to play chess because his master taught him how to identify positions, explained the rules to him, and demonstrated the game.
Qi He started by learning his chess moves, and he did quite well in it. Although his master would praise him, he could feel that his level was not good enough.
The first time the master was very satisfied was when he made a move as usual, but he tricked the master and changed the position of the moves at the critical moment. Although he still lost in the end, the master was in a good mood.
Qi He made a move and played chess with himself.
As the chess pieces fell, the smile on his lips became more and more obvious.
He suddenly realized that it was useless to please his master by being obedient blindly. If he wanted to satisfy his master, he might not have to be so obedient.
A master would be satisfied with an apprentice who is similar to him, but how could he fall in love with someone who is too similar to him? That would be too boring.
Qi He couldn't help but wonder, was his master really unaware of his little actions and thoughts? If he noticed, why didn't he make any statement?
According to Master's habit, he is waiting, so what is he waiting for?
Qi He naturally would not seek answers from his master, this was the answer he had to hand in.
"Since Master wants to see the real me, I hope this game will satisfy you."
Qi He stroked the edge of the white piece, thinking of his master, and made a crucial move.
That night, Qi He took care of Lin Zhi and helped her sleep as usual.
The window was half open, and because Lin Zhi was a Gu Master, there was no need to worry about mosquitoes flying in.
Qi He fanned himself and listened to his master's increasingly even breathing.
In the past he would have left at this time, but today he has not moved.
He leaned over to cover his master with the quilt and took the opportunity to enlighten his sleeping skills.
In terms of martial arts or internal strength, he is already superior to his master.
The young man fell into a deep dream and would not wake up unless there was a certain sound from the outside world.
The summer in Miaojiang is hot, and summer shirts are short to keep cool, so Lin Zhirang made pajamas that are even lighter and thinner.
Qi He knelt in front of his master, his upper body tightly covered, and he was gentle and respectful, but the action of rubbing his master's legs was not polite.
Qi He is not a talkative person, but he always acts nicely, shows his feelings, and is good at apologizing, full of guilt.
"Master, did I burn you? It's all my fault."
The young man said this, but he kept his hands pressed to prevent anyone from getting out of the way.
"Master is so afraid of heat, I'm afraid I'll have to prepare some ice next time. I don't know if Master can stand the cold. I will help Master."
Qi He lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her voice was particularly sweet.
In his mind, he was thinking about how to help his master melt the ice so that his master could cool down, acting like he was showing filial piety to his teacher.
The well water in the room was changed every day. Qi He wrapped himself in a towel and carefully wiped himself clean with a new towel.
He knew there was a mistake, and he did it on purpose.
After doing all this, he stood there and fanned Lin Zhi for a while, then left quietly.
The sky turned pale and Lin Zhi woke up in the cool air.
There was a basin of ice next to him, which seemed to indicate that Qi He had come in not long ago.
Lin Zhi sat up from the bed and then looked down.
01: [Report to the host, I watched cartoons last night! 】
Following Lin Zhi, 01’s ability to express himself has improved.
Lin Zhi changed out of her pajamas and saw a red patch on her leg, she let out a light sigh.
The white fingertips lightly touched the red marks. Lin Zhi didn't get up, but leaned back on the bed lazily, touching it occasionally.
He was interested, more spiritually.
Qi He was more savvy than he thought, and he actually tested him so quickly.
He was really clueless. This world was really dangerous.
Maybe one day they will be fed well. Lin Zhi's shoulders trembled and he couldn't help laughing.
“It’s getting really weird.”
Lin Zhi covered his eyes with his hands, and found the scene of collapse, which should have been disgusting, actually very funny.
I'm looking forward to the real meeting. When that time comes, how will you face the monster that you fed with love?
The screen of 01 was filled with mosaics, but it still diligently marked the location of the task object, reminding the host that the other party was getting closer.
Lin Zhi didn't care at all and lowered his voice a bit, but this was not a problem for Qi He, who had good hearing.
Qi He's grip on the sword continued to tighten as he stood quietly outside the window.
The day dawned and then darkened, and in the blink of an eye it was the third day after the martial arts competition.
Two days have passed since Bai Wuqiu left.
Lin Zhi was writing a letter when he heard a noise coming from far away outside the yard.
"Xiao He! Xiao He!" Yan Yixuan shouted as she ran past the hanging flower archway, smiling brightly, "You're right! Look who's here!"
Lin Zhi walked out of the house and just saw the young man being embraced by Qu Ziheng.
Jiang Yan's appearance had not changed much compared to three years ago. He was wearing a white and gold brocade robe and holding a folding fan in his hand. He still looked like a wealthy and impressive young master.
"Brother Lin, Xiao He, I'm late. I'm so late that I didn't get to see Xiao He's demeanor in the ring."
Jiang Yan clasped his fists and apologized, looking apologetic.
Lin Zhi greeted him: "Long time no see."
Qu Ziheng punched Jiang Yan's shoulder and said angrily, "We were worried about whether something happened to you. Xun even participated in the martial arts competition, but you didn't."
"I really can't leave because of something at home, otherwise I would definitely attend. To apologize, I will be the host today. I have already booked a table at Yunlai Restaurant. Please give me some face, heroes."
Jiang Yan acted modestly on purpose, and his behavior made Yan Yixuan and Qu Ziheng laugh.
Lin Zhi also smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
Qi He nodded, as a sign of agreement.
Yan Yixuan felt it was a pity: "If you had come a few days earlier, Ah Xun wouldn't have left by then. Now we can't get together again."
Qu Ziheng said: "There is always a chance."
Today, they were having a gathering with their friends, so they didn't invite Ying Shuang. The five of them went to the best private room in Yunlai Restaurant. All the exquisite dishes were served, and they looked expensive.
Yan Yixuan snorted: "For the sake of these dishes, I won't bother with you."
When they met again, there were bound to be a lot to talk about. Jiang Yan chatted with everyone while drinking, explaining the reasons for the future and what he had seen and heard in the past three years.
He toasted from time to time, and Lin Zhi and Qi He followed his wishes and drank with Yan Yixiuan and Qu Ziheng. Soon the two of them were lying on the table.
"Sir, you are indeed perceptive. It seems that my intentions cannot be hidden from your eyes."
Jiang Yan sat upright in his seat, letting the fan and Lin Zhi look at each other.
He directly pointed out Lin Zhi's identity, which was also a signal.
Except for the people in the village, no one knew that Lin Zhi was the Holy Son. Even Bai Wuqiu and the others only knew that he was a Gu Master.
Lin Zhi smiled and asked, "I heard that people from the Western Regions have high nose bridges, deep eye sockets, and green eyes. Is that true?"
"Since you know it clearly, I don't need to say more. But this is not a good place to have a conversation. Why don't you two come with me to change places?"
Jiang Yan looked at the two drunk people and signaled to Lin Zhi.
Lin Zhi had no objection, and the three of them went to a very private room in the backyard of the restaurant. There were private seats set up inside, with refreshments on them.
"I heard that you are planning to use the Ice Jade Lotus as a trade. My master is also very interested and is willing to exchange. I wonder what your conditions are."
Jiang Yan poured tea for Lin Zhi and Qi He. He placed his fan on the table and spoke without pausing when he talked about the host.
If Qu Ziheng, Yan Yixiuan and others were here, they would definitely be shocked when they saw this. How could the arrogant young master in their eyes speak like this?
Lin Zhi: "Since we want to make a deal, the first thing to do is of course to introduce yourself."
"I am sorry for being rude. My master is the current leader of the Western Region Holy Cult, Ming Wang Haiye. He is very sincere about this deal. Not only can he exchange the treasure for the Ice Jade Lotus, but he will also give you the information of one of the people who participated in the extermination of the Qi family."
Jiang Yan looked at Qi He specifically, but did not see the emotional fluctuations he wanted to see on the face of the blindfolded boy.
"That's all? It seems that this forty-year-old Ice Jade Lotus is only this important to you."
Lin Zhi was not so easy to deal with as he got the information about one of them.
Besides, he wasn't sincere in wanting to make a deal; he just wanted to lure out the person behind the scenes.
The people from the Chiyu Sect threatened Bai Wuqiu to come over, and the people from the Holy Church sent Jiang Yan over, because he didn't want these small fries.
"Wait, as a sign of sincerity we can tell you the information first."
Seeing Lin Zhi about to leave, Jiang Yan immediately stood up and said, in fact, he had just found out not long ago that this Lin He was most likely Qi He, and there was a tentative tone in his words. The two of them tacitly agreed that they were indeed related, but why were they not tempted at all?
Lin Zhi: "This amount is far from enough. You should go back and ask your master for instructions."
Jiang Yan wanted to stop him again, but Qi He drew his sword half an inch out of its sheath as a warning.
Lin Zhi asked someone to help the two drunkards to the inn, and he and Qi He returned to the house.
Lin Zhi asked: "The answer was right in front of me but I rejected it. Aren't you anxious?"
"No rush. If they did it, it would be ridiculous to push one person out as a scapegoat. If they didn't do it and they only have a vague idea, then there's no need to talk to them. Just go find the Akabane Clan. Besides, it's only been two days and the five-day deadline hasn't even arrived yet."
The closer it got to this point, the calmer Qi He became.
He couldn't be impatient or blind, he had to make sure that every person he killed was someone who deserved to die.
"That's right."
This is why Lin Zhi likes to deal with smart people without having to waste words.
The moonlight is just right tonight, and it looks like white frost on the ground, making it quiet and peaceful.
When they were almost in front of the house, Lin Zhi suddenly asked, "Have you been asking about a man named Xie Qing recently?"
This was not Lin Zhi trying to trick him, but the secret guards around him reported this to him.
Qi He would not leave such a big loophole if he wanted to find out about this matter. It was obvious that he deliberately asked someone to report this matter to him and finally heard the answer from him.
"Excuse me, I was indeed asking around. That day, Master got drunk and called out his name, and I was curious..."
Qi He said hesitantly, looking a little uneasy, as if he was worried that he would be angry.
"He was an old friend of mine, but he passed away several years ago."
"I didn't mean to bring up your sad story..."
Qi He's expression became a little gloomy, and there was a hint of sorrow in his expression.
Dead, how could he die!
How was he going to argue with a dead man?
