At the last moment, Si Jin also considered taking the medicine that Xiao Yao had brought back.
But then a thought unconsciously echoed in his mind: "If I wanted to rebel, would I need that thing?"
What's said is said, like water spilled.
The God of War in the Heavenly Realm, once he has spoken, cannot be overtaken.
Oh well, he's my own little apprentice after all.
Considering that this kid has looked up to him for many years, suffered a lot for him, and pursued him for countless lifetimes.
Let him have his way.
… …
It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that Shang Linyuan carried the utterly exhausted leader back to his bedchamber.
Even after being put into the blanket, her hair was still wet.
Shang Linyuan, fearing that it would cause him a headache, took Si Jin back into his arms, coaxed him, and fed him a bowl of white porridge that the Grand Elder had personally brought.
Seeing that his hair was almost dry, they prepared to put him down.
But as soon as Si Jin lay down, her face turned much paler.
After a moment of stunned silence, he turned to the side and coughed up several mouthfuls of blood.
Black blood splattered all over the ground, and even the corners of his lips were crimson.
The crisscrossing red marks on her neck made it even more shocking.
Shang Linyuan's face turned deathly pale instantly; he was so frightened he almost lost his soul.
how so?
Everything was fine yesterday.
Even if you caught a cold, it shouldn't be this bad...
… …
The Grand Elder, having heard that Si Jin had returned, came to deliver porridge out of concern for him.
Seeing that Shang Linyuan served her diligently and refused to leave her side, she also turned and left.
But he hadn't gone two steps when Shang Linyuan hurriedly called him back.
The young man looked utterly helpless, his eyes reddening and his voice trembling: "Elder, I don't know anything about medicine. Jinjin said you're the only one who's kind to him. Please take a look, what's wrong with him?"
The elder brother was over sixty years old, his beard was all white, but he was much calmer than Shang Linyuan.
After carefully observing the black blood on the ground for a while, and then checking Si Jin's pulse, his complexion actually improved a lot.
"It's alright. It's because last night, Jinjin's heart was beating faster than usual, and his blood circulation accelerated, killing some of the Gu worms that had been eroding his heart and lungs for years."
"It's a good thing, but..."
Seeing the elder's serious expression, Shang Linyuan's heart, which had just been at ease, was raised again.
He subconsciously leaned closer, just as he was about to listen carefully, when the elder suddenly slapped him hard on the head.
The old man was so angry that his face turned red and his beard almost stood on end: "Where did you come from, you wild brat? Don't you know that Jinjin has been suffering from chronic poisoning for years?"
"Look at the marks on his neck! You...you're worse than an animal!!"
"I'm so angry... cough cough cough!"
"Alright." The elder's coughing and choking made Si Jin laugh. "If it's a good thing, there's no need to make a fuss about it."
"Uncle Wang, I went out and bought some medicine the night before last. I wrote down the prescription for breaking the Gu poison on a piece of paper. Could you please find a few trusted people to brew a dose and bring it over?"
It was just an ordinary sentence, but it shook the Grand Elder to his core, and tears instantly filled his eyes.
"Jinjin, why are you suddenly... calling me that?"
The Grand Elder and Ling's father were old friends. He had watched Si Jin grow up since he was a child and cared about him the most.
But Jinjin, this child, was born with a lack of emotions and a withdrawn personality. She was also deceived by a villain like Shang Qinghan, and became increasingly distant from him and less and less trusting of his words.
He discovered Jinjin's poisoning three years ago and tried to cure her more than once.
But Si Jin just wouldn't agree.
With empty eyes and devoid of emotion, she replied, "Junior Uncle said he can solve it. I can't trust anyone but him."
This was the first time in so many years that he had heard the title "Uncle Wang" from Jin Jin's mouth, and he was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes.
She quickly reminded him, "Jinjin, you just said..."
“I said, Shang Qinghan harmed me, please Uncle Wang brew medicine to detoxify me.”
The elder was finally relieved. He cried for a long time with tears streaming down his face before lowering his voice to continue asking.
"Jinjin, now most of the White Moon Sect obeys Shang Qinghan. Do we need to make the antidote behind his back?"
What are you doing behind his back?
Si Jin leaned back against the bed, exuding a chilling aura. Knowing that Shang Qinghan's people were eavesdropping outside, she deliberately raised her voice.
"I want the entire White Moon Sect to know that I have fallen out with Monk Qinghan. Anyone who's not afraid of death is welcome to oppose me. There are still many places on my folding fan where I can plant peach blossoms."
