Chapter 17: Senior Brother Takes the Beating and Loses the Fire Bucket
Seeing that Ji Suxian was about to get angry, Lu Heying quickly pulled Xiao Qingxu over and said, "Okay, okay, we should go. There are still many things to deal with."
"..." Ji Suxian curled his lips, "Go ahead and get busy. I'll guard this place."
Lu Heying asked, "Why are you guarding here? Can't you just call someone else? Twelve will be here soon, so we don't need you."
"Can't I take a closer look? Get lost!"
Ji Suxian pushed the two of them out of the room and closed the door, and suddenly felt a chill.
The guy lying on the bed wouldn't suddenly jump up and bite her like a monster in a storybook, right?
There were only Ji Suxian and the unconscious Shang Yuwan in the room, and it was extremely quiet for a moment.
Ji Suxian was not afraid of any ghosts or supernatural powers. He sat down on the edge of the bed, took Shang Yuwan's hand and took his pulse carefully.
It is strong and powerful, and the remaining toxins in the body can be completely cleared out in two days.
It is the pulse of a living person.
...Never mind, never mind. Master has gone out to find a way to prolong his life. She should stay in the building and take good care of Brother Xiao and his sweetheart. She still needs to find out who the original owner of this body is. She can't just take someone else's body for nothing, right? If she can find her family, she'll have to make amends.
After getting angry and scolding, Ji Suxian really had no other choice.
Seeing that she couldn't feel anything else, she let the other person's hand go.
As soon as he stopped moving his hands, he heard hurried footsteps not far away.
With a creaking sound, Twelve, who had changed the medicine, and Shang Mingqi, who had just finished practicing sword under Bai Xiaoye's nose, walked in.
Shang Mingqi's right arm was still wrapped in white gauze and hanging. It must have been accidentally injured when he learned that Shang Yuwan was poisoned and unconscious.
The big and small ignored Ji Suxian who was hiding aside to avoid bumping into anyone, and went straight to Shang Yuwan who was lying on the bed.
“…Oh my.”
Ji Suxian touched his chin and wondered if these two knew something.
She asked casually, "Are you so anxious? Or do you mistake her for Princess Qi?"
Shang Mingqi's back shuddered when he heard this, and he subconsciously retracted his hand that had just grabbed the quilt.
It’s over, we’ve been discovered?
Twelve, however, had the same expressionless face as usual. He stood aside and looked at Shang Yuwan, saying without mercy: "Let's invite a shaman to exorcise the evil spirits for you tomorrow."
Ji Suxian understood what was going on after seeing this, and she didn't care about the slight sting in Twelve's words. She stopped probing, gave a few words of advice, and left.
The twelfth monk Mingqi may have recognized Shang Yuwan, and she wanted to tell Brother Xiao about this.
"Twelfth Sister..."
Shang Mingqi looked at Twelve with some concern, "We just..."
Twelve, on the other hand, looked calm, without any visible panic.
"Don't worry, they won't believe such weird things."
Shang Mingqi was silent.
That's what he said, but he and his twelfth sister believed it.
Twelve was the first to recognize Shang Yuwan, and he was the second.
Although their voices and appearances were completely different, they both recognized each other. The reason was simple: Shang Yuwan couldn't act out the natural fakery she would put on in front of her family. Her awkward and secret concern was easier for the twelfth monk Mingqi to recognize than the two stone lions at the door.
The twelfth monk Mingqi did not dare to make it public after recognizing him. Baijialou was not the Shang family and would not trust Shang Yuwan unconditionally like the Shang family. If the secret was leaked, it would only lead to unimaginable trouble.
Shang Mingqi only dared to pester Shang Yuwan for a few days because he was still young, and after that he rarely met her.
Twelve also rarely met Shang Yuwan, and when they did, she didn't dare to look at her for too long, because there were many people around. She was not as smart as Shang Yuwan, and her ability to adapt to changes was not as good as hers, so she was afraid of being exposed.
Although they both didn't know why Shang Yuwan was reborn into someone else's body, they both saw clearly that after Shang Yuwan's rebirth, just like in his previous life, he was always busy running around for the Shang family and his family.
All Twelve can do is to complete every task assigned to him to the best of his ability and protect the young lady even at the cost of his own life.
All Shang Mingqi can do is live well, practice sword skills well, and grow up well.
They all knew what they should and shouldn't do. If Shang Yuwan hadn't been poisoned and unconscious, the twelfth monk Mingqi wouldn't have rushed to visit him in such a hurry.
"If you recognize it, then recognize it. No problem."
Xiao Qingxu found a layer at the bottom of the wooden box given by Li Zixi. When he turned it over, he saw that it was the Zhao family token that Bai Nongqiao gave to Zhang Jiuquan.
No wonder, when Wanwan brought it back that day, she didn’t see this thing. It turned out that it was hidden underneath.
The transaction books may be somewhat falsified, but this Zhao family token is genuine.
Xiao Qingxu put the token and the booklet away together. Seeing that he showed no surprise at the news she told him, Ji Suxian immediately felt like a fool who had been fooled.
"You know all that?! You didn't even say a word!"
Ji Suxian rolled up her sleeves in anger.
Seeing this, Lu Heying quickly reached out to stop her, "Junior sister, calm down, calm down! Ah Xu is not in good health now, and he is not as resistant to beatings as he was when he was a child!"
"..." Ji Suxian's gaze fell on her good senior brother, "Yes, you are right, he is not in good health, he can't be beaten, and he has a wife, so he can't be beaten even more."
Lu Heying nodded repeatedly, and suddenly realized something was wrong.
"wait……"
Ji Suxian laughed heartily, pulling out the hairpins from her head and holding one in each hand, "You! I can beat you!"
Lu Heying's face changed instantly. He knew that Xiao Qingxu could not help him, so he immediately took a deep breath and ran away.
Xiao Qingxu ignored the noise outside. He stared at the letter that had been delivered to him recently, and when he thought about the situation of the twelve people on the day they were being hunted, the expression behind the mask became more and more meaningful.
He originally thought that the prince and the person behind the scenes were of the same mind, but now it seems... it is not what he thought.
While Xiao Qingxu was sorting out the whole thing, Lu Heying and Ji Suxian had already fought countless times outside.
"Ji Suxian, you are committing treason and murdering my senior brother!"
"Bah! You dare to run away after I cheated you!"
"How could I lie to you? I didn't say anything!"
Ji Suxian swung a hairpin at him: "How dare you quibble!"
“Zheng——”
As soon as he finished speaking, the hairpin was kicked off course by Lu Heying and went straight into the fire barrel cannon that Ju Gongcheng had just set up in the yard.
"?!" Ju Gongcheng's eyes widened as he held the fire barrel cannon that was not damaged.
He had just returned from outside. He'd stolen countless men's skills to make this fire barrel cannon. It looked the same size as an ordinary bucket, but its power was over three times greater than that of ordinary gunpowder. He had been planning to take it out to dry out today, seeing the sun was shining—but one of them was gone.
If he hadn't kept it damp for fear of a sudden explosion, his fire barrel cannon would have blown up countless courtyards.
Ju Gongcheng's face turned pale. He silently took back the remaining fire barrel cannons and then went straight to Lu Heying.
"Lu Heying! Pay me for the fire barrel cannon!"
Ju Gongcheng angrily joined the battle, and Lu Heying shouted: "Hey, hey, hey, I'm the deputy owner!"
"Sister Su Xian, let me help you! You on the left and I on the right, attack him from both sides!" Ju Gongcheng's mind was full of the damaged fire barrel cannon, and he couldn't listen to what Lu Heying said.
He only made six fire barrel cannons, enough to blow up a mountain!
Ji Suxian laughed heartily: "Good brother, I will help you get revenge!"
Mingqi, the twelfth monk, who had just come out of the room and closed the door, looked up and saw the pair of senior brothers and sisters and Ju Gongcheng jumping up and down.
"Twelfth sister, can they really help us?"
Shang Mingqi originally wanted to stay a little longer because of his young age, but was forcibly pulled out by Twelve on the pretext of preventing him from being exposed.
He understood the truth, and even though Shang Yuwan had returned from the dead, in his heart she was still married. And although he was a member of the Shang family, he was still a man, and he couldn't stay in a woman's room for long.
Shang Mingqi was feeling unhappy because he couldn't wait for her like Shang Yuwan did when she woke up when they were children. When he went out and saw the three people making a fuss, he felt even more depressed.
It doesn't seem reliable no matter how you look at it.
Twelve took a few glances and patted Shang Mingqi on the shoulder. "Let's go. Bai Xiaoye will be looking for you soon. I'm only borrowing you for two incense sticks of time. If we exceed the time limit, he'll scold me too."
"oh……"
