The old father was so angry that his chest heaved violently, and he had a terrible headache looking at the unruly Su Xiucheng.
[A very promising chemist!]
Su Junyao didn't know what a chemist was, but the word inexplicably carried a serious tone.
This kid had better find a proper path, or I'll break his legs!
After thinking about it carefully, Qiuqiu realized that the term "chemist" didn't exist in this era, so perhaps she could use a different term—alchemist!
Goodness gracious! Fourth Brother wants to become a Taoist priest!
"What? You want to become a monk?" Su Junyao's heart nearly jumped out of his throat. He'd never been so righteous as to turn evil!
Su Xiucheng: "???"
“When did I say I wanted to become a monk? And…” Su Xiucheng glanced at Qiuqiu and muttered in a low voice that only he could hear, “I don’t want to be a Taoist priest either.”
Thirteen's ears twitched, clearly having heard Su Xiucheng's mutterings.
So what exactly does "chemist" mean?
He spoke slowly, trying to ease the tension: "Medicine and poison are inseparable. Perhaps Fourth Young Master means he wants to be a doctor?"
"Alright, let's go into medicine!" Su Junyao didn't dare to hesitate, afraid that something else might go wrong. "It's decided then."
Without a second thought, he picked up Qiuqiu and left. Qiuqiu perched on his shoulder and beckoned to her fourth brother, "Come on, follow!"
Thirteen gave him a push, "The road ahead is long and arduous. Fourth Young Master should think carefully before making any decisions. Why not go with the Marquis and discuss it with him in detail?"
Su Xiucheng's eyes lit up, and he instantly realized: "Keep pestering me!"
Thanks!
"Hello, hello... Fourth Young Master!"
That's not what he meant!
"I never knew you had such a fondness for being a teacher."
Xiao Wu came out of the room; the little devil was finally gone. She hadn't expected that just revealing a little about her past studies in toxicology would get her so entangled with the little devil. She was really afraid that her rudimentary knowledge might lead him astray.
"Actually, this chubby boy has a good personality. If Jing Feng were still alive, he would probably be willing to take him as his apprentice."
For a moment, she felt a pang of sadness thinking of her old friend Xiao Wu from Chunfeng Tower, but she quickly composed herself. A qualified assassin must discard many emotions.
Although she has a new relationship now.
"Thirteenth Brother, I want to go back to the Wenyun Marquis's residence."
"No, you don't want to!"
"Stay here and don't run around, or I'll break your legs too."
Xiao Wu was no match for Thirteen, and being injured, he didn't dare to confront him directly. He turned his back on him, slammed the door shut, and hid away.
Thirteen sighed, "The little girl has grown up!"
Thirteen turned back halfway to the southwest; Su Jinze needed him to come back and check something. He kicked open Xiao Wu's door as soon as it closed.
"I want to talk to you."
Xiao Wu looked at him irritably: "What are you talking about?"
"I remember you headed southwest when you left Chunfeng Tower. Where were you injured?"
"What happened in Qianzhou, in the southwest?"
"Did Gongye Changfeng also save you in Qianzhou?"
Xiao Wu suddenly tensed up upon hearing Gongye Changfeng's name. Knowing Shisan's personality, he certainly wouldn't ask about this without a reason. Something must involve Gongye Changfeng!
"Stop beating around the bush, just say it."
Thirteen and Su Jinze rode swiftly to the southwestern border, and as they investigated, they discovered that all the clues about Qiao Muyang had been deliberately erased.
The last person to see Qiao Muyang was a man who called himself Gongye Gongzi. According to his description, he bore a resemblance to Gongye Changfeng, whom Thirteen had met a few days earlier.
Gongye Changfeng is definitely not as harmless as he appears on the surface.
Thirteen suspects that Gongye Changfeng's rescue of Xiao Wu was also planned.
"Impossible!" Xiao Wu slammed her hand on the table, leaning forward like an enraged lioness. "Gongye isn't that kind of person!"
"Then who is he?" Thirteen scoffed disdainfully. Aren't there enough female assassins in the building who gave up for love and ended up with tragic fates?
That girl never learns her lesson!
Those who are obsessed with love will eventually die because of love.
Thirteen's disdainful tone infuriated Xiao Wu. To her, Gongye Changfeng was her savior and her future partner, with whom she was destined to spend her life. Her brother, with whom she had grown up, denying him without even verifying his identity clearly angered Xiao Wu.
“I know Gongye, and I trust him. If you knew his past, you wouldn’t have said such things. I will investigate whether he is colluding with the forces in the southwest. Now I’m leaving!”
Xiao Wu stared back at Shisan without giving an inch, and seeing her stubborn look infuriated him.
He stared at her silently for a long time, then turned aside to let her leave.
Xiao Wu was also tough; he left without saying a word.
The two parted ways without any attempt to stop or explain.
When Qiuqiu and Su Xiucheng returned, Xiao Wu's room was empty.
Chiu Chiu was eager to see her little monkey, so she tugged at Fourth Brother's clothes and tried to leave. That older sister is with Gongye Changfeng every day; if she leaves now, she'll definitely sneak back to see her lover.
【Walk!】
Su Xiucheng wanted to keep looking, but Qiuqiu was too persistent.
The little monkey had many wounds that hadn't been treated before, and in some places, rotten flesh had formed. For better treatment, it was now being cared for by the royal physician. To get there from the front yard, they had to pass through the pavilion in the west wing.
The weather has been hot lately, and there are hardly any people walking around in the courtyard. I didn't expect there to be anyone in the pavilion.
"It's thirteen!"
Thirteen sat in the pavilion, surrounded by many wine bottles, looking sullen. When he saw Su Xiucheng carrying Qiuqiu over, he only paused for a moment but didn't say anything.
Chiu Chiu was puzzled; Thirteen didn't seem to drink alcohol.
She twitched her little nose to sniff, but there was no smell of alcohol.
"Oh, it's all water."
The purpose of the wine bottle is to make him appear as if he is drowning his sorrows in alcohol.
Chiu Chiu & Su Xiucheng: "..."
"Thirteenth Brother, why do you want water? My father has a few jars of fine wine, I'll steal them for you!"
Thirteen can't stand hearing people call him "Brother Thirteen" now, because it reminds him of the troublesome Fifth Brother.
"Drinking is bad for your health and will lead to trouble. Thank you for your kindness, Fourth Young Master. I'll just have some water to show my appreciation."
Chiu Chiu thought her fourth brother was really stupid. If Thirteen wanted her father's fine wine, he could have just stolen it himself without anyone noticing. If he didn't go, it meant he didn't need it.
Tell me what's bothering you so I can cheer you up!
Seeing the gloating Chirp, Thirteen smashed the bottle on the ground with a bang. The two little brats were so scared that they didn't dare to move like chicks.
This commotion is really not a good look!
Thirteen was furious: "Fifteen, that little brat, I don't know what kind of spell Gongye Changfeng has cast on him. He believes everything he says, without even considering whether the other party has ulterior motives!"
Chiu Chiu leaned over, the little one lying face down on the table, and patted Thirteen's hand, completely understanding his feelings at that moment.
[That's what her father thought when Wang Baochuan went to dig for wild vegetables with Xue Pinggui.]
Chiu Chiu sat in the middle of the stone table, rubbing her non-existent chubby chin, thinking that this matter was not a big problem.
If Gongye Changfeng truly had ulterior motives, he would definitely be after Chunfeng Tower, which was behind Xiao Wu, but Chunfeng Tower is no longer there. If he really wanted something, it would definitely be the Wenyang Marquis's mansion.
They just sat at home waiting for the other party to come to them!
