At this time, Chen Ling, who had just come down from upstairs, couldn't help but give a thumbs-up and praised sincerely, "Amazing, Xiaoci! You managed to convince the senior brother with just a few words. You're worthy of being the one!"
Jian Ci retracted her gaze and said calmly, "I just want to explain why I didn't come back last night."
But Chen Ling couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "Please, in our sect, apart from your explanation, when have our explanations ever been useful?"
In the eyes of the eldest brother, their explanations are just cover-ups, excuses, and specious arguments without any reflection, okay!
Jian Ci frowned, "You're saying this as if Senior Brother has special care for me."
Chen Ling's eyes widened in disbelief, "Tell me honestly, when has Senior Brother ever not taken special care of you?"
Jian Ci answered without hesitation: "Never."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ling was so angry she nearly had a heart attack. "Oh my God! Jian Ci, you're so heartless! Think about it, every time we were caught doing something bad, we were punished by Senior Brother, but when it came to you, the punishment was always the lightest, and the medicine you received was always the best and most expensive! And you actually said Senior Brother didn't take special care of you?!"
She even still remembers that Jian Ci and Gu Yao drank their master's wine secretly and almost fell into the wine jar and drowned. After being discovered by the eldest senior brother, Gu Yao was beaten so badly that he couldn't get out of bed for several days.
Jian Ci was only punished to practice basic skills for one day.
During this period, due to a hangover, he fell off the plum blossom pile and scraped his skin. When the eldest brother found out, he directly gave him a bottle of the master's most expensive medicine for bruises and injuries.
When the master found out later, he almost lost his breath and called the eldest brother a rebellious son!
But Jian Ci, who was completely unaware of this matter, simply said expressionlessly, "Maybe Senior Brother thinks I'm weak and sickly, so he treats me with special favor."
Chen Ling was almost pissed off by her. "Miss, your frail health will only last until you're six, okay? In the next few years, even a strong tiger like you will be beaten to death!"
Jian Ci: “…”
She then continued, "That's probably something my grandfather took special care of."
Seeing her incapable of adapting, Chen Ling was furious and said, "I think you're usually quite smart, why do you act so foolishly at the critical moment?"
But then I thought, I can't blame Jian Ci.
It's because the eldest brother always does things silently behind the scenes and never says anything openly.
Serves you right!
I was too lazy to continue talking and could only go upstairs.
Jian Ci was the only one left in the hall.
At this moment, she stood there alone, her delicate eyebrows were furrowed, and the sunlight shining on her face disappeared.
After just a moment, she turned and walked out the door.
Qin Shizheng's smile softened when he saw her come out from inside the car. "Have you finished talking to him?"
Jian Ci nodded without any emotion, "Yeah."
Qin Shizheng immediately opened the car door and said, "Then let's go home."
"good."
Jian Ci got into the car.
Qin Shizheng subconsciously glanced upstairs and found that the curtains in one of the windows swayed slightly.
A smile suddenly formed at the corner of his lips.
The car started again quickly.
It was already afternoon when Jian Ci returned to Qin Shizheng's place. While Qin Shizheng was taking a medicinal bath, she returned to her room.
She locked the door behind her and took out an old cell phone that she had just taken out from the old house.
A familiar phone number was dialed.
After ringing for a full half minute, the call was finally connected.
Jian Ci stood in front of the French window and said coldly, "Do something for me."
She didn't know if it was Jian Ci's illusion, but she felt that the voice on the other end of the phone seemed to become a little tense. "What?"
Jian Ci half-closed her eyes and said in a grim tone, "Find out for me the mastermind behind the car accident that happened to the Fifth Master of the Qin Family two days ago."
As soon as these words came out, the person on the other end of the phone fell into an inexplicable silence. After a moment, he said, "When did you become related to the Qin family in Kyoto?"
Jian Ci didn't explain, but just said, "Let me know if you find out."
The person on the other end of the phone could only agree, "Okay, got it. I'll get back to you as soon as possible."
Jian Ci didn't think much about it, just nodded, then hung up the phone and went to the clinic.
Qin Shizheng is taking a medicinal bath.
The bathroom was filled with steam.
As soon as Wei Bei saw Jian Ci come in, he tidied up a bit and then left.
Jian Ci rolled up her sleeves to take over Wei Bei's next job. While massaging him, she asked, "Have you felt any pain these days?"
Qin Shizheng lay in the bathtub and said truthfully: "No."
After enduring the pain in the car that day, I had no reaction at all.
At that time, he thought that the pain would be so severe that he would need emergency treatment like last time, and he was thinking about what to do then.
Who knew that the pain would only last ten minutes and then go away.
It feels very confusing.
Jian Ci was very clear about this. This was a sign that the drug was about to take effect, so she reminded him again and again, "If you feel the pain again, tell me, don't endure it. You are at a critical moment now. Every attack is very important and very fatal."
Qin Shizheng saw the serious look between her eyebrows, and his dark eyes became more gentle. "Okay, I understand."
