Some images that were so old that they were already blurry flashed through his mind. Sheng Shijing lowered his brows, and his eyes looked at the girl in front of him with a softer look.
This treatment took a full two hours. By the time Xie Xihe finally pulled out the golden needles from the old master Huo's body, it was already one o'clock in the morning.
Huo Yunze said quickly, "I've asked the servants to prepare a room right next to us. You two can go and rest first."
It takes more than two hours to drive from here to the city. If we leave now, it will probably be dawn when we get home.
In addition, the situation on the side of the old master Huo also needed to be observed, so the two did not refuse and followed the servants of the Huo family into the guest room not far away.
Ignoring the Huo family servants' signals, Sheng Shijing followed Xie Xihe directly into her room and closed the door behind him.
Servant: “…”
He could only go back with a sad face and report to his young master.
Huo Yunze smiled gently: "No problem, please leave."
In my mind: How could he have the heart to harm such a tiny girl? What a beast!
I can't help but complain: It's just that he doesn't have a sister. If any bastard dares to follow his sister like this, he will beat him to death!
Huo Yunze covered his chest with his hands. He didn't know why, but he always felt a little uncomfortable. After giving a few instructions to the doctor who came to take over, he went to the martial arts training ground in the basement to practice boxing.
However, there was no discordant scene in the guest room as Huo Yunze had expected.
Xie Xihe was sleepy and tired, so he just covered his face with soap and lay down. When Sheng Shijing came out after washing up, he was already fast asleep.
He pursed his lips and chuckled, thought for a moment, then turned and walked to the terrace extending from the room and made a phone call.
The phone rang for a long time before it was connected, and it was intermittent, mixed with a lot of noise like electric current passing through, making it difficult to hear the voice on the other end clearly.
Sheng Shijing was quite used to it and was in no hurry to speak. He waited quietly for about three minutes, and the noise finally disappeared.
On the other side of the phone.
An old man with white hair and beard squatted on a stone slab extending from the top of the mountain and shouted at the top of his voice, "You little bastard, you actually called me on your own initiative. Tell me, why did you call me this time?"
The voice was blown away by the wind and reached his ears intermittently. Sheng Shijing smiled with a rare gentle tone and said, "Nothing, I just want to talk to you."
Duan Chengxian: “???”
Duan Chengxian: “!!!”
He stumbled and slipped off the stone slab, falling more than a hundred meters before he came to his senses. He quickly turned over and stepped onto the smooth rock wall to get back on the stone slab.
My breathing is disordered.
But he couldn't resist the shock in his heart, and said in disbelief: "What did you just say? You wanted to talk to me, what did you say?"
I couldn't help but ask, "Little brat, are you having a bad spirit attack again and completely ruin your brain? Don't scare the master. The master is old and can't help being frightened. He almost fell to his death just now because of the fright!"
Sheng Shijing: “…”
In the silence, Duan Chengxian finally realized that something was wrong. He dropped his joking expression and said cautiously, "Go ahead, Master is listening."
Sheng Shijing pressed his brows, his emotions almost dissipated by his nonsense, but he still said: "You have a disciple's wife now, when are you free to come and see her."
There was a whistling sound of wind, and a loud bang was heard, accompanied by the chirping of birds and beasts. Two minutes later, Duan Chengxian climbed up the only stone slab with a signal nearby again.
Her hands were shaking, her legs were trembling, and her voice was unstable: "Jing, next time before you say something so shocking, can you please say hello to Master first? Master's old bones can't stand the fall..."
The next second, he switched to an excited state, and asked with a gossipy look on his face: "Whose girl is she? Is she pretty? How old is she? Has the master seen her before? Where are you? I'll come right over!"
Sheng Shijing ignored the other questions and answered only one: "I have seen it."
Duan Chengxian: "Huh?"
Sheng Shijing continued to talk: "Do you remember the first time you took me to the Ancient Martial World?"
Duan Chengxian certainly remembered: "What happened when you first went to the Ancient Martial Arts World? Don't tell me you met that person then. How old were you then? Five or six? You couldn't have found your future wife then, could you?"
"Five years and eleven months." Sheng Shijing said, "Yes."
Duan Chengxian took a full minute to recover from his apprentice's concise answer, and then he exclaimed: "!!!"
He thought and thought, and finally a baby's face emerged from his mind. He couldn't even speak coherently: "You, you, you... don't tell me that my apprentice's wife is the little baby we met in the cave and rescued?"
Sheng Shijing: "It's her."
Duan Chengxian: “…”
Wait, let him think about it first.
How old was the doll at that time?
Five months, or six months?
Yes, he had just learned to sit, grinning at them with his toothless little mouth, and even crawled to Sheng Shijing's legs, and then was kicked away by him.
I estimate it will be about six months.
He told him that he had found his future wife when he was less than six years old, and she was still a six-month-old baby. Isn't he toxic?!
Sheng Shijing finished speaking, feeling refreshed. "My wife is looking for me. I have to go back. Bye."
She didn't forget to instruct him, "Remember to bring a gift when you come. She's an ancient warrior, so please prepare it for her."
Duan Chengxian: “…”
So, this is the real purpose of his making this call, right?
Dog apprentice!
What sin has he committed? He must have owed it to him in his previous life!
Xie Xihe, the wife who was "looking for him", was sleeping soundly in the room. She seemed to be kicked by something in her dream. She frowned a little unhappy and kicked back, kicking Sheng Shijing, who had just sat down on the bed, to the ground.
Sheng Shijing: “…”
What is this called?
It’s not that I don’t want to retaliate, it’s just that the time has not come yet?
What is meant to come will always come.
Suddenly he felt too lazy to move, so he sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at the girl not far away. Finally, he couldn't help but chuckle.
It turned out that he had chosen her so long ago.
Well, she had been coveting him for a long time.
Sheng Shijing stood up, kissed her on the forehead, hugged her through the quilt, and fell asleep.
At the same time, outside the room of Patriarch Huo.
After Xie Xihe and Sheng Shijing left, Mr. Zhang and his apprentice stayed for another half an hour, waiting for the successor doctor to arrive before leaving together.
Wei Jingyao lowered her eyes, her whole body filled with irritability and depression. The anger and resentment all over her body made it impossible for Mr. Zhang to ignore it even if he wanted to.
He glanced around and then pulled her to a deserted corner. His brows knitted tightly together as he said unhappily, "Jingyao, you've always been sensible. What's going on today? Why are you targeting Miss Xie again and again?"
