Chapter 68 The waiter
| Banxia novel exclusive |
*
After returning from a walk with Shi Guanyin, Jellyfish Yinji called Gong Nanyan to her room.
"Don't think about it."
In the dim room, Jellyfish Yinji said coldly the words that broke Gong Nanyan's heart, with a grim face.
"Palace Master, I——"
Gong Nanyan couldn't believe it and was heartbroken.
"Put away your thoughts. If you anger her, I won't protect you."
Jellyfish Yinji's words were straightforward and sharp, turning into a sharp blade in Gong Nanyan's heart, stabbing and stirring, and her heart was dirty and bleeding.
Shi Guanyin must have said something, otherwise why would the palace mistress treat her like this!
Gong Nanyan was filled with grief and looked at Shui Jellyfish Yin Ji with tears in her eyes, while Shui Jellyfish Yin Ji looked cold. Even if Gong Nanyan had more to say, she couldn't say it under such a cold gaze.
At this moment, a loud greeting came from the corridor outside the house: "Sir, the water is here!"
Shui Jellyfish Yin Ji and Gong Nanyan immediately calmed down and looked through the door towards the place where the sound came from.
The door of Shi Guanyin's room creaked open. It was her disciple who opened the door, and she herself sat on the bed. Her beautiful face, graceful figure, and looming smile made her presence very clear.
Bu Zao entered the room with a bucket of water and met Shi Guanyin's eyes.
The first time he met her in his true form, there was no reminder from the Jianghu Figures Illustrated Book, but it was as if he saw a soft light effect around Shi Guanyin.
Shi Guanyin did not say anything, but her eyes seemed to be charming.
The best reaction at this time should be to blush, but Bu Zao looked at Shi Guanyin for a while and just smiled slightly.
He couldn't blush. For a shameless person like him, nothing could make him blush - except acting.
But Bu Zao didn't really want Shi Guanyin to get her way.
Shi Guanyin raised her eyebrows slightly and watched Bu Zao pour the water into the bucket. The steaming water mist floated in the room.
Bu Zao said goodbye to the master and apprentice in the room, carried the empty bucket out, and then ran back and forth three times before filling the big wooden barrel.
Shi Guanyin just watched him running back and forth silently from beginning to end. Her eyes fell on Bu Zao's hands holding the handle of the wooden bucket, and she raised her eyebrows slightly.
After Bu Zao left, Shi Guanyin changed her clothes and took a bath with the help of her disciples with an expressionless face.
After a long silence in the room of Jellyfish Yin Ji and Gong Nanyan, Jellyfish Yin Ji coldly ordered: "You can go."
Gong Nanyan wanted to say something but stopped, but Jellyfish Yin Ji didn't even give her a glance. Gong Nanyan had to leave sadly. Being treated like this by the palace mistress she had been thinking about, Gong Nanyan was naturally very sad and couldn't sleep.
Late at night, Gong Nanyan was admiring the flowers by a secluded pond in the backyard, staring at the pond in a daze.
The pond reflected a full moon in the night sky. The moonlight was soft, and suddenly another person's shadow was reflected on the small pond.
Gong Nanyan looked up suddenly.
The waiter wearing a vermilion hairpin was standing opposite the pond. His amber eyes were filled with moonlight, and there was a faint smile flowing.
Sect Master Bu, who was not just passing by, was giving a lecture on the system, and he and Gong Nanyue stared at each other across the pool for a moment, then Gong Nanyue suddenly attacked, lightly tapping the water with his toes and leaping towards Bu Zao. Bu Zao stood there motionless, and
Gong Nanyue landed in front of him, put the sword against his chest, and said viciously: "What are you looking at? Be careful or I'll gouge out your eyes."
Bu Zao raised his hand to show that he had no ill intentions, and said innocently: "I was just passing by."
Gong Nanyue wanted to vent all her anger on Bu Zao, and was about to poke forward with the sword, but Bu Zao raised his hand and grasped the tip of the scabbard, his face turned cold, and he looked at Gong Nanyue in front of him without any expression.
"Are all the disciples of Shenshui Palace so rude? It's a shame for Shuiji Yinji to have a disciple like you."
The true face of the headmaster was revealed at this moment. Bu Zao's tone was emotionless, but Gong Nanyan heard it was full of sarcasm.
Gong Nanyan was already upset by Shuiji Yinji's words, and seeing the waiter's rude words, she couldn't help but get furious. She drew her sword and stabbed the rude waiter with one sword.
She was so emotional and her heart was surging that she didn't realize that the attitude of the waiter in front of her was obviously wrong. When Bu Zao knocked her right hand holding the sword with one hand and pulled out the soft sword from his waist and wrapped it around her neck, Gong Nanyan was shocked to find that she had vented her anger on the wrong person and kicked the iron plate.
The long sword fell to the ground with a clang, and the sound was crisp. The
soft silver sword wrapped around the neck like a silver snake, and it felt cold to the touch, like the cold winter wind in the coldest days of winter, which made Gong Nanyue sober up all of a sudden. She stared at the waiter with a vermilion wooden hairpin in his hair in disbelief.
This waiter was not an ordinary waiter.
Gong Nanyue didn't think that she had made a mistake, but that the waiter concealed it too well.
She was proud and arrogant, and at this moment she knew that she had offended the wrong person, but she couldn't bring herself to say soft words. Instead, she gritted her teeth and had a stiff face, looking into Bu Zao's eyes.
Bu Zao's face was calm, his eyes were cold, but in his heart he felt: venting your anger on others because of personal emotions is simply the worst behavior, he deserves it.
Although thinking about something unimportant, Bu Zao smiled: "Don't you know what to do at this time? It seems that Jellyfish Yin Ji doesn't teach these things."
Gong Nanyue heard him calling her Jellyfish Yin Ji all the time, and she became more and more annoyed. She said coldly: "Who are you? How dare you speak so rudely to the palace master - watch your mouth!"
Bu Zao laughed.
This man was in danger with a soft sword around his neck, and his life was in danger, but he still thought about maintaining the prestige of Jellyfish Yin Ji. It was really a touching unrequited love.
"You should be careful about your life."
Master Bu said casually, and even had the time to look at his palm, as if there was something more attractive on it than Gong Nanyue. His
five fingers were slender, like translucent white jade under the moonlight.
His hand didn't look like a waiter's hand at all. Gong Nanyan's eyes were attracted by that hand, and she secretly hated him. She should have noticed it earlier.
"What should you say?"
asked Master Bu again.
"——"
Gong Nanyan gritted her teeth and refused to compromise. At this time, she was full of hatred for Bu Zao. After all, Bu Zao was a typical example of not judging a person by his appearance.
So Bu Zao smiled slightly, twisted his wrist, and the soft sword turned around, passing by Gong Nanyue's eyes like a surprise. Then she felt a chill on her right wrist, and blood flowed through her palm and fell down along her fingers.
"You want to hurt me with this hand, then use this hand to apologize to me," said Bu Zao lightly with a smile on his lips.
He cut the tendons of Gong Nanyue's right hand. Even if it is cured, it will be difficult for her to lift a sword in the future.
As a witness of the head of the Salted Fish Sect, Gong Nanyue must not die.
"You!"
Gong Nanyue's wrist trembled, she opened her mouth in a hurry, and only uttered a sharp and short syllable before being knocked unconscious by Bu Zao with her own scabbard.
This can also be regarded as self-production and self-sale in another sense.
Bu Zao glanced at Gong Nanyan who was unconscious on the ground, threw down the scabbard in his hand, turned around and left.
Three quarters of an hour later, the disciples of Shenshui Palace who went to look for Gong Nanyan because she had not returned found Gong Nanyan unconscious by the pond.
Gong Nanyan's right hand was soaked in a pool of blood, and her face was as pale as paper.
Jellyfish Yin Ji was furious.
When Gong Nanyan was awakened by the pain of sutures, Jellyfish Yin Ji sat beside her bed and asked her what had happened.
Gong Nanyan's eyes turned red, tears welled up in her eyes, and she told her experience.
As the culprit, Bu Zao was of course bound to appear in her words. A seemingly ordinary waiter suddenly showed his cold fangs at night, which made Jellyfish Yin Ji, who had no impression of Bu Xiaoer, a little confused.
Jellyfish Yinji recalled the appearance of the waiter mentioned by Gong Nanyan. She only remembered that the other person had a red wooden hairpin in his hair and eyes as clear as amber.
After hearing Gong Nanyan's description, the disciples of Shenshui Palace woke up the shopkeeper and started a thorough investigation in the inn.
The shopkeeper was sleeping soundly. After being woken up, he heard the disciples of Shenshui Palace asking about starting early in a daze. He looked confused: "The red wooden hairpin... is it Xiaobu?"
The shopkeeper only knew that the waiter was called Xiaobu. When he was dragged to Jellyfish Yinji, he looked so innocent that it was distressing. Jellyfish Yinji asked in detail and found that the young man who hurt the waiter was of unknown origin. He was not a local, but a traveler. In order to save money, he asked the innkeeper to stay and help clean the inn.
At the same time, the disciples of the Shenshui Palace came to report after searching for the young man. They found no trace of the young man and the place where he lived was empty.
Shuimu Yinji looked unhappy. Gong Nanyan was a disciple of the Shenshui Palace after all. Wasn't it an insult to the Shenshui Palace to be treated like this? However,
the man had disappeared without a trace. Shuimu Yinji took note of this and decided to make him pay after dealing with the matter of Xiong Niangzi. There
was a lot of noise. Shi Guanyin heard it clearly in the room, and her disciples reported what they had heard to her.
So Shi Guanyin also knew about Bu Zao's act of cutting Gong Nanyan's tendons.
She held her cheek with a happy smile on her face. The disciples beside her saw it and bowed their heads deeply, not daring to speak.
*
The headmaster was very excited and fled overnight after the incident, while the third disciple was no less excited than the headmaster.
Early in the morning, Xiao Qingzhou pulled out the men sent by Shi Guanyin to investigate and threw them in front of Wuhua like a dead fish.
Although there was only one person, it was of great significance.
Master Wuhua no longer wanted to talk. He felt that Shi Guanyin might be about to fall into the tiger's mouth.
Xiao Qingzhou said sincerely: "Please persuade him to turn back, Master Wuhua."
Wuhua was silent.
Sikong Zhaixing asked: "Who is this person?" Xiao Qingzhou said: "I don't know. Master Wuhua should know better than me."
Xiong Niangzi and Jin Jiuling ate melons silently, and both felt that this matter had nothing to do with them, otherwise Xiao Qingzhou would not throw the unlucky egg in front of Wuhua.
Sikong Zhaixing ripped off the man's disguise, revealing a square face that was sunburned and quite rough.
How could such a person be related to Master Wuhua?
Sikong Zhaixing thought so.
Xiao Qingzhou asked, "Master, do you think my senior brother would recognize this person?"
Wuhua was silent for a moment, suppressing his anger, and said, "How would I know?"
Wuhua's reaction seemed to make Xiao Qingzhou very happy. The beautiful woman smiled, like a spring mountain flower, and a gentle breeze greeted her.
Sikong Zhaixing raised his hand to cover his eyes and said, "Don't smile like that."
Jin Jiuling and Xiong Niangzi lowered their heads silently. As people who had been attracted by Xiao Qingzhou's face, they still felt moved when they saw that face with bright eyebrows and eyes. However, after the move, they felt a strong sense of self-contempt.
I dare not blame Xiao Qingzhou for his girlish appearance, I can only blame myself for being blind.
Master Wuhua decided to be a mute. On the day Xiao Qingzhou found out Shi Guanyin's loyal subordinates, he chose to escape from Xiao Qingzhou's clutches again. This time he still failed.
Sikong Zhaixing ate the melon conscientiously and said pitifully, "Master, why bother."
Wuhua lowered his eyes and cut the king of thieves thousands of times in his heart.
Jin Jiuling and Xiong Niangzi took action, glaring at Sikong Zhaixing who was watching coldly.
Logically speaking, more people would trust Wuhua, a master with a great reputation in the martial arts world, than Xiao Qingzhou, a young man who was just starting out and was the master of the Evil Valley.
But Wuhua didn't dare to gamble. He was afraid that things would get too serious and there would be no room for maneuver, so he had been forbearing.
The result of forbearance was that he was knocked again and again, and ridiculed again and again by Xiao Qingzhou's knowing questions.
Master Wuhua was very tired.
But what he didn't know was that there would be more things that would make him tired in the future.
Bu Zao looked high above, smiled in his heart at the tired-looking Master Wuhua.
