This box had been sitting there for hundreds of years, and Jiu Yebai seemed to have never paid attention to what it was until Jiu Yunchi opened it and he realized that it was a toolbox used by traditional Chinese medicine practitioners!
The box wasn't the worst part; what shocked him even more was that his older brother was a doctor!
His older brother is a doctor?!
Damn it, is this really his older brother? Suddenly, he felt that he was no match for his older brother at all, and he also felt an unprecedented sense of tension. His older brother was too outstanding, which made him look even more pathetic.
"Hold him down," Jiu Yunchi suddenly said.
Jiu Yebai composed himself and quickly pressed down on the man's back. He was unconscious, but now he was convulsing violently. Jiu Yebai couldn't help but ask, "Is he having a seizure?"
Jiu Yunchi had already cleaned the wound and was now stitching it up. He said casually, "I forgot to give him anesthesia."
Jiu Yebai: "..."
He felt a chill run down his spine. Was it really okay to forget something like this?! Is this doctor, Brother, reliable or not?
Jiu Yebai looked at the man on the coffee table with sympathy.
The stench of blood made Jiu Yebai feel nauseous. His gaze darted around, finally settling on the wound that Jiu Yunchi was stitching up...
His gaze gradually darkened, as if he could see the man and woman lying in the alley of Country Y again.
More than half an hour later, Jiu Yunchi finished bandaging the wound, then stood up and stretched slightly. "The rest is up to you."
Jiu Yebai: "..."
What's left? Jiu Yebai looked closely. The man was lying there like a dead pig, covered in blood. He was actually asked to clean up this mess.
Seeing that Jiu Yunchi had also gone upstairs, Jiu Yebai called out, "Big brother, what exactly is going on?"
Jiu Yunchi didn't speak. He walked very fast, his hands stained with blood, which was torture for someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder and germaphobia.
"They all kept it from me!" Jiu Yebai said angrily, resignedly getting up to tidy up.
...
Half an hour later.
Cat and Jiu Yunchi came downstairs at almost the same time.
As the cat entered the living room, it paused, looked at the person on the coffee table, and exclaimed in surprise, "Jiu Yunchi, you killed someone? I specifically called for the clinic to be blacklisted, but you really are blacklisted..."
Jiu Yunchi looked at her and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? He's perfectly fine."
The cat pointed at the coffee table, "Then what's this all about?"
The person was still on the coffee table, and the mess around them had been cleaned up. However, the person was covered from head to toe with a white sheet, making it look exactly like a morgue...
Just then, Jiu Yebai returned. He had just washed his hands, repeatedly with disinfectant. Seeing the two of them, he snorted coldly, "You two finally decided to come down?"
Jiu Yunchi pointed at the person on the coffee table and asked, "Do you want to smother him to death?"
Jiu Yebai stepped forward and lifted the white cloth slightly, revealing the man's head. He was naked from the shoulders down, and now it looked even more like a morgue...
Exhausted, Bai collapsed onto the sofa and said, "At least I covered him up. Who is this guy? None of you told me. Did you expect me to help him get dressed?"
Cat also sat down. She was wearing pajamas and had already taken a shower. She rested her chin on her hand and tilted her head to look at Jiu Yunchi.
Jiu Yunchi was also wearing pajamas, his hair was half wet, and he seemed to have just wiped it off casually. It was a bit messy, and it was the first time that Maomao had ever seen him dressed like this in such a casual way!
I can't quite describe the feeling, but they've become much more approachable.
"Who exactly is he?" Jiu Yebai asked.
The cat shook its head. "I don't know."
Jiu Ye Bai glared at the cat, "Jiu Mao Mao, you're not going to tell me, are you? How did Big Brother know?"
Jiu Yunchi said at the opportune moment, "I don't know either."
Jiu Yebai choked.
Cat looked at Jiu Yebai and saw that he was about to explode with anger again, so she reached out and patted his head. "Silly little brother, what's the rush?"
Jiu Yebai leaned forward, then immediately realized that the action was too subservient, so he pulled back and said, "Of course I'm anxious... Jiu Maomao, you can't always share your secrets with your older brother, then I'm your younger brother too, aren't I?"
The cat glanced at him and said, "Silly little brother, it's your older brother who has a little secret, not me."
Jiu Yebai frowned. "What do you mean by that?"
The cat tossed the seal it had been carrying to Jiu Yebai and said, "Take a look at this."
"A seal?" Jiu Yebai caught it, examined it carefully, and then said, "It's quite heavy, but I can't tell what the material is... What does this mean?"
The cat said, "Ask your older brother, it's his little secret."
Jiu Yebai immediately looked at Jiu Yunchi.
Jiu Yunchi thought for a moment and then said, "Jiu Yebai, since you asked, I can tell you, but if you find out, you either have to join or pretend you know nothing. You have to choose one."
Even without being deliberately emphasized, Jiu Yunchi's tone made people unable to help but become serious.
Jiu Yebai sat up straight, vaguely sensing that his older brother was really going to tell him something earth-shattering. "Go ahead and tell me."
Jiu Yunchi said, "Since my great-grandfather, the Jiu family has been the direct descendants of the Jingmen, and also the inheritors of the Jingmen General Principles. In our generation, it is me... The Jingmen was once the head of the Eight Gates. The Eight Gates are Jingmen, Fengmen, Juemen, Pimen, Piaomen, Cemen, Huomen, Yaomen..."
The Eight Gates are not as prosperous as they once were, and they rarely contact each other anymore, but they are still active. However, the outside world has long believed that the Jing Gate has been lost. Now that you know this, you can choose to become the successor of the Jing Gate or inherit the Jiu family business.
Jiu Yunchi's words were concise, yet very clear!
After listening for a while, Jiu Yebai said, "Brother, you're not telling me a story, are you?"
"Silly little brother!" the cat said.
Jiu Yebai frowned. The three of them each occupied a sofa. The atmosphere was definitely not a joke.
Having lived for twenty years, Jiu Ye realized for the first time that his family had such a long history and such a glorious past... More importantly, his long-held materialism and atheism were facing a huge challenge.
"Why do I have to choose between the two?" Jiu Yebai asked.
Jiu Yunchi said, "Because you can't possibly do both at the same time."
"Can't I think about it... This is too sudden," said Kuya Shiro.
Jiu Yunchi did not object, which meant he acquiesced.
Jiu Yebai looked at the cat and asked, "Why did you already know?"
"Because I'm your older sister!"
Jiu Yebai suddenly asked again, "Then the kung fu you taught me, is it from the 'General Principles of the Shock Gate'?"
The cat shook its head. "No."
Speaking of this, Cat Cat remembered that she had bought a gift for Jiu Yebai today. She bent down to look for it, picked up the long box on the ground, and threw it to Jiu Yunchi, "Silly little brother, this is for you."
