An exquisite and simple incense burner releases wisps of curling green smoke.

The carriage was immediately filled with a fragrance.

Li Shida raised his eyes and stared at the man in purple Confucian robe who was skilled in adding spices in the car.

suddenly.

Li Shida felt the "restlessness" of the qi and blood in his body.

He couldn't help but close his eyes, raise his head slightly, and greedily sniff the agarwood.

Zhao Rong finished the work at hand, clapped his hands, and smiled gently when he saw Li Shida's expression.

He and Su Xiaoxiao had just agreed to go to the Qin Mansion to treat Qin Ji from the teahouse.

He first took Li Shida and the others back to the mansion where they had lived for the past few days, picked up some things, and then took the carriage to the Qin Mansion.

At this time, there were only him and Li Shida in the carriage, and Su Xiaoxiao was in another carriage.

Zhao Rong smiled.

"Brother Li is still in the Ascension Realm, right?"

Li Shida suddenly opened his eyes and asked instead of answering:

"Mr. Lin, what kind of fragrance is this?"

Zhao Rong said in a calm tone, "Qinan."

"Hiss, this is the Qin Nan? One of the top auxiliary items in the Ascension Realm? It is a rare and priceless item that is circulated in Wangquezhou Mountain?"

Zhao Rong smiled but said nothing.

Li Shida took a deep breath, glanced at Zhao Rong who had a casual expression, and sighed softly.

"I am not afraid of being laughed at by you, sir. I am stupid and I am still in the Zhenyi stage of the Ascension Realm. This agarwood is exactly what I have always dreamed of. I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to smell it today..."

"I wonder how is Mr. Lin's cultivation now?"

"Oh, so-so, almost golden."

“…”

Li Shida was speechless.

You're not even thirty years old, and you're almost at the golden elixir stage. And you call this sloppy?

However, Li Shida saw that Zhao Rong was calm and composed, as if he really felt that it was just a so-so achievement to be close to the Golden Core Realm before the age of thirty.

He pursed his lips.

Some people are born to be chosen by heaven. Their family background and talents are countless times better than ordinary people. As long as they follow the procedures, or even do nothing, they can surpass the ordinary people at the foot of the mountain.

But people like him can only wallow in the mud and climb up the mountain by any means necessary to have a one in ten thousand chance of making up the gap with them.

Li Shida smiled brilliantly.

Sooner or later, I will trample you all under my feet!

And entering Siqi Academy is the first step.

Li Shida smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, I have admired Siqi Academy for a long time, and I have heard many interesting stories about the academy.

I wonder if Mr. Situ of the academy still likes to bring wine to lectures, ask students if they want to drink together, sigh, "Only by drinking heavily and reading "The Song of Farewell" can one become a true scholar!" Then he falls drunk on the podium and chants "The green mountains are in my arms, and you are in my dreams"? "

When Zhao Rong heard this, his expression remained calm and composed, but he was cursing in his heart.

Can you stop talking so much nonsense when you make a carriage?

How do I know this Mr. Situ?

You are not from Siqi Academy, why are you bringing this up? Even Lin Wenruo didn't mention this to me, and you are the only one showing off...

Zhao Rong looked at Li Shida and smiled without saying anything.

Seeing this, Li Shida waited for a while, but still got no response, so he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then:

"Mr. Lin, speaking of the two Confucian academies in the north and south of Wangquezhou, I still think Siqi Academy is better. As for the reason, of course it's because Siqi Academy has more gentlemen than Linlu Academy. Hahaha."

After saying this, Li Shida smiled for a while, but when he saw that Zhao Rong still did not respond, his smile gradually disappeared.

Zhao Rong raised his eyebrows slightly.

This time, he understood the meaning of this joke.

The gentleman here actually refers to the Confucian title of gentleman.

Last time, a young scholar from Siqi Academy was awarded the title of "Gentleman" by Zhongzhou Confucian Temple, so the number of people with the title of "Gentleman" in Siqi Academy is more than that in Linlu Academy.

So this joke is a double entendre.

Gentleman refers to an honorary title, and also refers to a gentleman in a general sense.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the statement that there are more gentlemen in Siqi Academy than in Linlu Academy.

But even though he understood, Zhao Rong still did not react.

He still looked at Li Shida with a smile without saying a word.

At first, Zhao Rong did not respond to the first topic, and Li Shida felt a little suspicious.

But at this time.

Seeing that Zhao Rong was still smiling and not responding, the trace of suspicion quickly disappeared.

Li Shida coughed a few times to ease the embarrassment, but he clenched his teeth secretly.

because.

He felt slighted.

Extreme contempt.

From yesterday to today, the man in purple in front of him has always shown contempt for him.

It's not an unintentional revelation, but a naked display.

Just like now.

No, Li Shida, you better bear with it!

Tolerate!

Inside the carriage.

There was silence.

Only the sound of wheels rolling and the noise of the street could be heard faintly.

The two were silent for a while

But, not for long.

Li Shida smiled awkwardly and took the initiative to find some topics to ease the atmosphere.

To this.

Zhao Rong occasionally responded simply, but it didn't embarrass Li Shida. After all, the future plans still depended on this guy's "cooperation"...

Soon, the carriage arrived at Qin's mansion.

Zhao Rong and Su Xiaoxiao followed Li Shida to a heavily guarded attic.

Going up the stairs, he saw Qin Ji lying on a sickbed in a room.

Zhao Rong walked to the bed and took a look.

Only Qin Ji at this time.

Between the eyebrows, the skull that was shattered by a single finger strike by Liu Sanbian after he had broken through the golden lock's protection had been repaired by a piece of strange "mutton-fat jade".

But he was still pale and unconscious.

Zhao Rong reached out his hand, stretched out two fingers and tried.

It was discovered that Qin Ji was barely breathing and...had a normal body temperature.

Zhao Rong pursed his lips.

If Li Shida did not lie, then this guy ** would die if Qin Jianfu had not returned with the medicine by tomorrow.

Of course, Zhao Rong did not come here to really save Qin Ji. Besides, he couldn't save him even if he wanted to. But just in case, he came to personally send Qin Ji off and take this opportunity to take back Liu Sanbian's body.

"I'll leave it to Fairy Lan."

Li Shida said respectfully to Su Xiaoxiao who was standing behind Zhao Rong.

Su Xiaoxiao did not react and stood still.

Li Shida looked at Zhao Rong.

Zhao Rong smiled and said, "Yuqing, help Master Qin take a look."

After saying this, he turned and walked out.

Halfway through the walk, he turned around and glanced at Li Shida.

"Yuqing doesn't like people watching and disturbing her when she's treating a patient. Let's go out and wait."

Li Shida hesitated for a moment and followed Zhao Rong.

The two left the room and closed the door.

Zhao Rong looked at the guards every three steps and every five steps outside the attic, then turned to look at Li Shida who looked worried, and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, my wife is quite knowledgeable about medicine. Even if I can't cure Mr. Qin right away, I can still keep him alive."

Li Shida breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Lin and Fairy Lan."

"It's just a small matter."

A moment of silence.

Zhao Rong suddenly said, "The jade on Master Qin's head is a good thing."

Li Shida was stunned, not knowing why he brought this up, but he spoke anyway.

"That piece of jade is called the Soul-Making Marrow. It can temporarily mend and relieve any injuries on the body. It was given to the teacher by his good friend in the Qing Sui Sect."

Zhao Rong nodded, "Replenishing the Spiritual Essence? What a good name, the jade is good, and the name is also good."

Li Shida smiled and nodded.

"Oh, what a fine piece of jade."

Zhao Rong said again.

Li Shida felt something was wrong.

Zhao Rong continued to sigh, "I don't know if I will have the chance to encounter such a good thing again in the future."

Li Shida: “…”

The purple-robed scholar glanced at the scenery outside the building and smacked his lips:

"Oh, what a good thing."

Li Shida, I understand.

Didn’t you fucking say you didn’t want any reward?

I don't believe you!

Li Shida forced a smile.

"Mr. Lin, since you like it, I'll give it to you. When the teacher comes back, I'll talk to him about it. As long as Qin Ji is cured, I believe the teacher will not be stingy."

Zhao Rong turned around, looking a little embarrassed.

"Ah? This is... not good, right? Forget it, let's just forget it."

But even though he said this, he still looked at Li Shida with anticipation.

The scholar in plain robe twitched his lips and said with gritted teeth:

"It's okay, it's okay, Mr. Lin, please accept it. If you refuse, it means you look down on me and the Qin family of Langxi."
