When Shen Xinghe handed the dragon scales to Si Jiu, Si Jiu was still worried that he might realize that he had been tricked by Cang Huan and the others and would be upset.
In the end, he didn't have any extra reaction. When he heard Si Jiu say that he didn't need the dragon scale anymore, he just said "oh" and said lightly, "No problem, then give it to Master. If Master likes it, keep it. If you think it takes up space, you can throw it away."
From the tone and expression, I didn't know that it was the dragon's reverse scale, but thought he was giving me a piece of fish scale.
"However, even if there are remains of ancient dragons in the dragon tomb, most of them are just skeletons. Where did Xing'er get this reverse scale?"
Shen Xinghe curled his fingers under his sleeves.
Didn't he say he wouldn't lie to his master? Now, wasn't it time to reveal his identity to her?
Master once said that she would not be prejudiced against humans or demons.
But why am I so panicked?
He recalled the look in his master's eyes when he said he would never forgive being deceived by someone he trusted, and cold sweat broke out on his palms.
If so, what if the master blames him for hiding it?
He and his master had just reunited.
"Master, I..." Can I tell you after some time?
“However, those great monsters from the ancient times, being dragons, must have possessed omnipotent magical powers, so it’s not surprising that their bodies were preserved intact after death.
Xing'er is very lucky."
Shen Xinghe hummed with difficulty.
"Then Xing'er, can you tell me how the wound on your heart came about? It looks like it was caused by my Jingque."
Shen Xinghe: “…”
This is another fatal question.
Si Jiu looked at him with burning eyes.
Of course she knew how the wound came about. It was Shen Xinghe who held her hand and let her stab it.
But her memory was definitely correct; the stab was not very deep.
However, when she was applying medicine to him, she found that the wound was very deep and had damaged his heart meridian. For some reason, the wound did not get better after using the elixir and was bleeding every day.
Although she probably knew that Shen Xinghe's dragon scales were taken from his heart.
But the system also said that even if the scales were pulled out, the wound would not be like this. Moreover, after being nurtured by top-level elixirs, not to mention the internal injuries, the wounds on the skin should have healed long ago.
Therefore, Shen Xinghe's wound could only have been deepened and aggravated by himself, and he had deliberately used some method to make it unable to heal and bleed continuously.
Removing the reverse scale was already half life-threatening, and he still had this wound. Although he asked the master of Langfeng Valley to personally treat him and give him medicine, he still did not get better quickly.
Even a strong man cannot withstand such abuse, let alone his condition is so bad.
So Si Jiu hoped that he could tell the truth, so that she could tell him that she did not blame him for that sword attack and there was no need to punish herself like this.
Unexpectedly, Shen Xinghe is still as stubborn as ever.
"This happened at the Dragon Tomb. I was injured when I fought the dragon guarding the sacred land and it stole Master's Jingque. Plus, the dragon used a very ancient magic, so this happened. Master, don't worry. Didn't Valley Master Lin also say that the bleeding is gradually stopping, but the healing is slow?"
"But Master is worried about me, I am very happy."
The wine steward choked.
He stared at Shen Xinghe unhappily.
Shen Xinghe was smiling, but he became a little hesitant because of her increasingly stern gaze.
"I'll give you one more chance to reorganize your words." Si Jiu said, "If you dare to lie to me again..."
As soon as the word "lie" came out, Shen Xinghe panicked instantly and covered Si Jiu's mouth with his hand. "I stabbed myself because I felt guilty about hurting my master. And as soon as I saw it was about to heal, I stabbed it again to remind myself not to forget how badly I had done to my master."
He finished speaking without taking a breath, looking at Si Jiu anxiously.
"Master..." His tone was soft, "Don't be angry."
