A group of teenagers looked at each other in bewilderment.
No one moved an inch.
Luo Lianjiang said, "He's not heavy, so it's fine for me to carry him a little longer. But it's windy here, and he's really delicate. He'll catch a cold if he stays in the wind any longer."
Upon hearing this, everyone made way for Luo Lianjiang.
After several days, Zheng Nansheng's health showed no improvement. He had only gone out for a short while today, and now he looked like he was about to die.
Chu Yiming was also somewhat worried.
Having shared life and death together, he wanted to go in and see what was happening, but was stopped by Commander Ma:
“Brother Chu, my senior brother is innocent. If you want to vent your anger, just come at me. I will not fight back. He really can’t take it anymore.”
Ma Wei's voice grew softer and softer as he spoke, and by the end, he was already choking with sobs.
In the past few days, none of them had mentioned Li Yueyun in front of Zheng Nansheng, for fear that he would not be able to bear it and that his injuries would worsen.
And even if you tell him, nothing will change.
Chu Yiming said, "We've been through thick and thin together, I won't do anything, I'll just go in and see him."
When Zheng Nansheng saw Chu Yiming come in, he felt it was difficult to even get up.
Luo Lianjiang tactfully left, thoughtfully closing the door behind him.
But he stood outside the gate and didn't leave, intending to wait for Chu Yiming to come out so they could leave together and maybe he could find out some gossip.
Seeing that Zheng Nansheng's hands were bleeding, Chu Yiming brought water to help him clean them, apply medicine, and then re-bandage them.
"This wound has been there for more than 20 days and it still hasn't healed."
Zheng Nansheng said, "Thank you very much, Brother Chu. How is Miss Ye?"
Chu Yiming said, "Junior Sister hasn't woken up yet, but Master said she's fine and will be alright in a few days."
Zheng Nansheng felt terrible all over. He had just seen Qin Mu lying on the ground outside and noticed the anger between Chu Yiming's brows.
"I wonder what Senior Brother Qin did to offend Brother Chu?"
Chu Yiming stared at Zheng Nansheng, trying to see through the man in front of him.
But this isn't something he's good at.
His solemn expression made Zheng Nansheng realize something was amiss.
Adding to the disdainful looks from the cultivators on the way, the conflict between Chu Yiming and Yueyun Manor is probably more serious than Zheng Nansheng imagined.
Zheng Nansheng said, "Brother Chu, I've been sleeping in a daze for most of the past few days. When I wake up, everyone avoids my eyes."
At first, I thought they believed I had become a useless person, and that there was no point in telling me anything.
Your visit today must not be solely to see me.
It feels like just yesterday that we fought the monsters together.
I consider you a brother. What they won't tell me, can you tell me?
Zheng Nansheng's tone was somewhat pleading, and Chu Yiming, being soft-hearted, did not refuse him.
But after hearing it, Zheng Nansheng regretted it.
Because he couldn't handle it.
That won't solve it either.
After being seriously injured by Zheng Ningshuang for standing up for Chu Yiming, Zheng Nansheng asked Li Yueyun to give up the task of retrieving the inner core of the Crow Cry Bird, and Li Yueyun agreed.
Zheng Nansheng thought this matter would be buried forever and no one would know.
Unexpectedly, Li Yueyun chose to do this himself.
So, would he be considered an accomplice?
Perhaps that dream was a tragedy caused by another choice he made.
Zheng Nansheng clenched his fists tightly, and the wound that had just been bandaged began to bleed again.
Chu Yiming stepped forward and grasped his hand: "Brother Zheng, this matter has nothing to do with you. Don't torture yourself like this."
Zheng Nansheng's eyes filled with tears, and he gave a bitter laugh:
"Brother Chu, you are really naive."
How could I be innocent?
From giving you rooms at the inn outside the Immortal Venerable's Mansion to standing up for you when Zheng Ningshuang did it, everything I did was a test of you.
I schemed against you, yet you still trust me.
Chu Yiming couldn't believe what he was hearing, and he let go of his hand.
He stood up without a word, and stopped at the door.
"What about the Lingxiao Beast that time? Was that also a scheme?"
Zheng Nansheng choked up and said, "No."
Chu Yiming sighed: "I'll pretend I didn't hear what you said today."
When Chu Yiming opened the door, Ma Wei and Li Bing'er were still standing in front of it.
Li Bing'er was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to face Chu Yiming, and could only cry, "I'm sorry! Brother Chu, I..."
Chu Yiming didn't look at her:
“Miss Li, what your father did has nothing to do with you, so you don’t need to blame yourself so much.”
I am not qualified to forgive anyone on behalf of my master.
You saved my life, and I will still help you if you ever need my help in the future.
"You should take good care of Brother Zheng."
Chu Yiming emerged looking dejected, while Luo Lianjiang wore an expression that said, "I knew it."
He simply walked alongside Chu Yiming, without intending to offer any advice or guidance.
Chu Yiming spoke first, asking him, "Brother Luo, if you were me, what would you do?"
Luo Lianjiang said, "Hey, you've come to the right person."
I'm best at resolving conflicts.
If it were me, I'd beat Zheng Nansheng up, then tell him righteously and firmly that from now on, they're enemies, and I'll beat him every time we meet!
Chu Yiming couldn't help but glance at him.
Luo Lianjiang didn't mind at all: "See, I told you, you can't bear to part with it again, right? Ultimately, this is a matter between the two of you, and only you can decide what to do. What right do others have to interfere?"
Chu Yiming is least adept at handling the tedious and complicated relationships between people.
It's a hundred or even a thousand times more difficult than cultivation.
When he returned to the courtyard, Ye Wan had already woken up.
Apart from being a little pale, everything else was normal.
Just as Su Hanjiang had predicted, Ye Wan not only remembered nothing, but also couldn't explain what happened at the bottom of the cliff.
The first thing she did when she woke up was to cry out that she was starving, so hungry that she felt like she would die if she didn't eat a bite soon.
At that moment, she was holding a bowl of fragrant lean meat porridge and eating it in small sips. If it weren't so hot, she probably would have finished the whole bowl in less than three seconds.
Ye Wan would take a couple of bites of porridge, then stick out her tongue to cool it down before continuing to eat.
Seeing her wince from the burn, Ding Yumin felt a pang of pity and divided the porridge into several small bowls, letting it cool down before giving it to her.
Ye Wan ate happily, her tongue was no longer hot, and she smiled and acted coquettishly towards Ding Yumin.
"I love my older sister the most."
After finishing her meal, Ye Wan focused on letting out two satisfied burps.
Only then did he notice that his senior brother was somewhat unhappy.
Ye Wan said, "Senior brother, I'm fine! Don't blame yourself! Focus on your cultivation, and remember to protect me next time!"
Chu Yiming said softly, "Okay, I will definitely protect you next time."
Seeing that Chu Yiming looked tired, Ding Yumin said considerately, "Wanwan has already woken up. Brother Chu has been worried these past few days, so please go back and rest early."
Chu Yiming hesitated for a moment, but still told Ye Wan not to kick off the covers while sleeping, and then returned to his room.
He felt extremely exhausted, more so than any of the trials Su Hanjiang had ever given him.
If he wants to continue being friends with Zheng Nansheng, will his master blame him?
Can their relationship ever be restored to what it was before?
