Chapter 101 The Eldest Disciple of the Joyous Union Sect VS Grandmaster Guangfeng Jiyue 18
Xu Wenye paused for a moment, then quickly grabbed her completely.
He leaned down and looked into her eyes, his voice a little hoarse: "I'm going to find that great demon. You stay here and don't go anywhere."
Without waiting for her to say anything, he directly trapped her in the room with a barrier.
"Xu Wenye!"
His cultivation level far surpassed hers, and Jiang Zhiyi had absolutely no way to deal with this barrier.
The next morning.
Xu Wenye then had the pair of eyes brought over; they had been partially refined and were still glowing with a blood-red light.
Physicians from the Medical Saint Sect also came along.
"Don't worry, Young Master Helian is fine now. His eyes will be able to see again in less than half a month. However, his vision will be a little worse than before, and it will take time to recover."
"Thank you for your hard work, doctor."
...
After explaining things here, Jiang Zhiyi went directly to Lingzhong Palace.
Xu Wenye must be injured, or he must be angry, which is why he doesn't want to come over.
"He won't see me?" Jiang Zhiyi was stopped by the disciples guarding the door.
No one answered.
"Let me in. Even if he doesn't want to see me, I still have to see him. If I can't get in today, I will never come to Lingzhong Palace again."
Seeing this, Xu Jiu gestured for them to pass, saying, "Grandmaster suffered some internal injuries and is healing inside. Miss Jiang, please go in by yourself."
Jiang Zhiyi went directly to his bedroom.
There was no one inside.
Jiang Zhiyi guessed that he was probably in a secret room.
She simply sat there and waited, pondering how to coax him later. Yesterday, she genuinely felt that Xu Wenye wouldn't help her, which was why she spoke to him that way.
She didn't really trust him to begin with.
Po Nian flew over from the corner.
"Where is he?" Jiang Zhiyi took it in her hand.
Po Nian looked dejected and extremely frustrated, as if he had been severely reprimanded.
Po Nian swayed his body and pointed in a certain direction inside the hall. Jiang Zhiyi understood its implication at a glance.
She walked over and touched the wall there, and soon she found a hidden compartment.
With a gentle press, the door to the darkroom opened.
She walked straight in. There was only one passageway inside, which was fairly spacious and lit up all around.
After walking through the secret passage for a while, she entered a brightly lit room, quite different from the Lingzhong Palace outside.
There was almost no decoration here, and it was rather cold and gloomy. The surroundings were all black and white, and Jiang Zhiyi even saw a chess game that was half-finished.
He does seem to really enjoy playing chess, even though he only plays by himself. She, for one, simply can't understand it; what's the point?
She remembered that she had once deliberately disrupted his chess game because he was so focused on the game that he ignored her.
She went to the innermost room again.
Xu Wenye was meditating on the black jade bed.
He wasn't wearing any clothes on his upper body, and there were several wounds on his body, but he looked relatively normal overall.
Xu Jiu just said that he suffered internal injuries.
"Are you feeling better?" Jiang Zhiyi asked him softly.
"I'm fine," Xu Wenye replied, opening his eyes immediately.
He got up, picked up a piece of clothing, and put it on.
Jiang Zhiyi walked up to him, sat down next to him, and asked, "Why didn't you see me?"
Xu Wenye lowered his eyes and remained silent.
"The disciples who were on duty just now stopped me, and my hand was cut by their long swords."
Xu Wenye frowned. Logically speaking, no one in Lingzhong Palace would dare to lay a hand on her.
“Look.” Jiang Zhiyi held out her hand.
Xu Wenye turned his head to look at her.
Jiang Zhiyi kissed him on the face, saying, "I missed you."
After a while.
"Ah Ye," she called out, then added, "Actually, I'm just a little hesitant. I don't know if you'll help me. My brother and I are very close, and I don't want anything to happen to him. From now on, I'll try to trust you, okay?"
"Is he more important than me?"
Xu Wenye regretted asking the question as soon as it was asked, as if she had asked him the same question before, and he had given a less-than-pleasant answer.
He didn't know how she would answer him.
Jiang Zhiyi wasn't stupid; she knew exactly what she should say.
She wasn't afraid even if she had to make a false oath.
These words can only win over those who believe them.
“You are the most important,” she replied.
"Yes." He was overjoyed.
"No matter what I do in the future, you'll help me, right?" she asked him excitedly.
"Yes, as long as you're happy."
...
A few days later.
Xu Wenye was carrying a box of exquisite osmanthus cakes, ready to deliver it to Hehuan Peak.
There is a century-old osmanthus tree in Lingzhong Palace, which is now covered with flowers and exudes fragrance.
So he had some osmanthus flowers picked and made into cakes.
She used to sneak into Lingzhong Palace and sit on this osmanthus tree, doing who knows what.
Once he asked her if she liked osmanthus flowers very much, and Jiang Zhiyi nodded, which he remembered.
"Xu Wenye." Someone called out to him.
Xu Wenye frowned. Few people in the entire Ling Mountain would call him by his name directly, not even his senior sister Xu Yuanqing.
Jiang Zhiyi often called him that.
Now there's another person, still a naive and arrogant young man.
Xu Wenye naturally recognized this person: Helian Mu, Jiang Zhiyi's good younger brother.
"What is it?" Out of respect for her, Xu Wenye was willing to say a few words to her.
“My sister said you helped me find my eyes, so I came here specifically to thank you.”
Helian Mu still had a smile on his face, but there was no emotion in his eyes. He didn't like anyone who was clinging to his sister, and he wanted to drive them all away.
Xu Wenye could tell what the other person was thinking at a glance. He knew that her younger brother was not simple. He said slowly, "No need to be polite, it's nothing. In the future, you should act within your means and not worry your older sister."
Helian Mu realized that the person in front of him was subtly mocking his cultivation level, so he asked, "Are these pastries to give to my elder sister?"
Xu Wenye did not answer his question and prepared to leave.
Helian Mu saw that the box was still printed with osmanthus patterns and he laughed, "It's a pity that my elder sister has never liked osmanthus cake."
