"Ji Dengtu?" Zu An's eyes widened. Although he had guessed it before, he was still quite shocked after it was confirmed.
After all, in the mouths of these people in the capital, the old chief physician's second disciple was a kind of benevolent doctor, a handsome figure like a banished immortal.
It's really hard to connect him with that greedy, lecherous old man from Mingyue City who hides in a dark room reading pornographic books.
"It seems the Chief Priest does indeed know him," Shenxuzi said with a smile.
“We do know each other, and we have quite a good relationship.” The image of Ji Dengtu in Zuan’s mind only lasted for less than three seconds before the rest of the image was replaced by his cute and adorable daughter, Ji Xiaoxi.
He subconsciously touched his lips, as if the softness of that day still lingered there.
Back when he was captured by the Embroidered-Robed Envoy in Bright Moon City, Ji Xiaoxi pretended to be his lover in front of everyone and gave him a passionate kiss in order to help him, but secretly put the fake death pill into his mouth.
What a kind young girl! Thinking of Ji Xiaoxi, a gentle smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
"By the way, why didn't Jiang Luofu tell me these things when I asked her before? We were together in Mingyue City back then," Zu An suddenly asked curiously.
I always felt that Jiang Luofu was hiding something.
"Ah?" Shen Xuzi regretted it a little. "If I had known that Seventh Junior Sister would be like this, I should have waited for her to tell you."
"What is it that I don't know?" Zuan pressed.
Sang Qian's eyes widened as well. She also remembered Ji Dengtu and found it hard to imagine that he had any relationship with the aloof Jiang Luofu.
Shen Xuzi sighed: "It's a sad story to tell. Back then, my second senior brother was a peerless doctor. He once proudly said that even if the King of Hell wanted someone to die at midnight, he could make them live until dawn. He believed that there was no disease in the world that he couldn't cure."
"But in the end, he couldn't save his wife, who was also the seventh junior sister's older sister."
Zuan was stunned. He seemed to have heard about this relationship between the two back in Mingyue City. He was also surprised that Ji Dengtu loved collecting beautiful women's stockings but always ignored the beautiful and aloof Jiang Luofu. So that was the reason.
Shen Xuzi continued, "Because of this incident, although Seventh Sister knew that Second Brother was not to blame, she couldn't help but feel some resentment, thinking that he was too arrogant and had brought down the punishment from heaven. Second Brother became depressed and closed his doors to guests, no longer seeing patients. We, his fellow disciples, tried to persuade him for a long time, but it was to no avail."
"Then one day, he suddenly disappeared. We were all frantic and searched for him everywhere, but the teacher stopped us, saying that he needed to go somewhere else to calm down for a while, and that time would heal everything."
"As a result, more than a decade has passed since he left. People have almost forgotten that our teacher had a personal disciple who was also a healer. We only recently learned from our junior sister that he was in Bright Moon City."
Zuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "By the way, do you know what illness his wife had back then that even someone as skilled as him couldn't cure?"
To give birth to such a lovely daughter as Xiaoxi, she must be an extremely gentle and kind person.
Shen Xuzi shook his head: "I don't know the specifics either. Second Senior Brother has always been very tight-lipped about this matter. You can ask Seventh Junior Sister when you have the chance."
Sang Qian, who was standing nearby, said, "Brother Zu, you'd better not ask. Judging from her attitude towards Ji Dengtu over the years, she must have had a very deep relationship with my sister back then. Now that you're in a position to ask her, she can't very well not answer. Just wait until she tells you herself someday."
Shen Xuzi laughed and said, "As expected, girls are more meticulous. Just as Xiaoqian said, I was rash."
Thinking of Jiang Luofu's usual aloofness, Zu An decided not to rub salt into her wounds for now.
After a moment of reflection, the three began to discuss the remaining materials. Shen Xuzi looked troubled and said, "I have only seen the intelligent beast Bai Ze in some ancient books. I have never heard of anyone encountering it in reality. I suppose it can only be found in some ancient secret realms."
"As for the Sphinx, I've never even heard of it. When the priest is found, you must let me know so I can come and take a look."
Upon hearing his answer, Zu An thought to himself, "As expected, the most difficult part is actually the main ingredient."
After chatting for a while longer, he took his leave to stop disturbing their teaching.
Back at the small courtyard on the mountaintop, I saw several little girls playing happily there.
Zuan sighed. No matter how formal the aristocratic education they received from childhood, or how many storms they went through later, they were still just teenage girls, retaining some of their former childlike innocence.
It has to be said that it's a delight to see beautiful girls playing together, no matter the angle.
"Youzhao, you and Qinghe stay outside and study the beginner cultivation techniques. Xiaozhao, come in with me." Zu'an said deliberately with a stern face. These people were really too outrageous. They hadn't even started looking at such a precious cultivation manual.
Murong Qinghe felt a little guilty and hurriedly took the booklet and pretended to read it. Chu Youzhao, however, was a little dissatisfied: "Brother-in-law, why can she come into your room? We have to practice outside."
"Don't you understand? It's because my brother-in-law likes me more!" Chu Huanzhao grabbed Zu An's arm and looked at her provocatively.
Chu Youzhao was so angry she gritted her teeth; this girl was truly shameless.
But now that she's dressed as a boy, she can't go and compete for his favor, so she can only stay there and be angry in secret.
"Stop fooling around, come inside with me, I have serious business with you." Zu An, with a dark face, pulled Chu Huan into the house.
Seeing Chu Youzhao's head spinning, Murong Qinghe found it somewhat amusing: "Brother Chu, you don't really need to be angry. This might not be such a bad thing."
