Su Ruojin visited her fifth master at Jinghuanglu. Fu Linglong's wounds were healing well, but it was still unknown how well she would recover in the end.
It will take two or three months to fully recover, and Su Ruojin certainly won't be able to wait that long.
She asked her fifth master if she was willing to go to the Great Chu, but her fifth master said that she was used to Xiaoyue and did not want to leave again. Besides, she was also reluctant to part with Canglei, and she couldn't possibly take Canglei with her.
Seeing this, Su Ruojin did not press the matter further.
Master Shifu naturally wanted to stay in Xiaoyue as well. He and Fu Linglong had missed so many years, and he didn't want to have any more regrets.
Moreover, Fu Linglong's face needs someone to take care of it.
"Xiao Jin, once your fifth master's face has healed, I will take her back to Da Chu to see you."
Su Ruojin understood her master and said with a smile, "Master, if you don't go back, no one can stop the three masters from fighting."
“Of course there is. If all else fails, you can have Old Man Xiao come over and give him a good talking-to. His word carries weight,” Ye Xunzhi said.
Old Man Xiao, Grandpa Xiao, the old King of Lin'an, hasn't been back to Mu'an Village for so long. Su Ruojin misses Grandpa Xiao a little and wonders how his health is lately.
Regardless of Grandpa Xiao's identity, in Su Ruojin's eyes he was always the Grandpa Xiao who constantly pushed her to practice calligraphy and who had always cared for her since she was a child.
"Alright, I'll take Fifth Master to try the delicacies of Great Chu then. Maybe Fifth Master won't want to leave."
"Yanchu, I'm entrusting Xiaojin to you. She's my only disciple in this life, so you must treat her well," Ye Xunzhi earnestly instructed Xiao Yanchu.
Xiao Yanchu gently took Su Ruojin's hand and looked at Ye Xunzhi with sincere eyes, "Master, don't worry, I value Ajin more than my own life, and I will absolutely not allow anyone to hurt her."
“Xunzhi, I think Yanchu is a good person, so don’t worry too much,” Fu Linglong said.
"Hmm." Ye Xunzhi looked at Su Ruojin with a somewhat ambiguous gaze. "Xiao Jin, would you like to talk to your master alone?"
"good."
Su Ruojin followed Ye Xunzhi into the room. Ye Xunzhi's eyes were full of heartache. "Hold out your hand."
Su Ruojin hesitated for a moment, "Master..."
"Stretch out your hand," Ye Xunzhi said again.
Su Ruojin sighed inwardly. In fact, when Ye Xunzhi said he wanted to talk to her alone, she had already guessed that her master must have figured something out.
She had no choice but to resign herself to her fate and reach out her hand. Ye Xunzhi placed his hand on her wrist, then took it off after a short while, his tone both reproachful and pitying.
"Xiao Jin, you're pregnant and you're still running around like this. Aren't you afraid of hurting your health?"
Ye Xunzhi, being a doctor himself, could tell that something was wrong with Su Ruojin's body without even taking her pulse, which is why he called her into the room alone to check on her.
"You haven't told that kid from the Xiao family yet, have you?"
"No, Master, please don't tell him. I don't want him to know yet."
"Why?" Ye Xunzhi was a little puzzled. Given how much that Xiao family boy cared about A Jin, he would be overjoyed if he knew that Xiao Jin was pregnant.
“Master, if Xiao Yanchu finds out I’m pregnant, I won’t be able to do anything. I’ll be stuck in bed like a sleeping Buddha every day. I don’t want to live like that,” Su Ruojin pleaded.
“Master, please don’t tell him. I’m a doctor, I know my own body very well. You just took my pulse, and you said my child and I are both healthy.”
Ye Xunzhi sighed, "Oh, you. You need to be careful. I will definitely return to Da Chu on the day you give birth."
He had no way to deal with Su Ruojin since she was a child. This little girl was too opinionated. Once she made up her mind, no amount of persuasion would work.
