"Master, please stop."
They were the only two people on the long street that stretched from south to north. Although it was a sunny day, it seemed a little lonely.
Shen Tingsi smiled faintly and said, "It has come to this point. How can I say...I have to see the light, right?"
"But you don't like my brother that much either." Ji Huaichuan stopped and looked at the person in front of him.
"Obsession has nothing to do with love, it's just a feeling of being unable to let go." Shen Tingsi turned his head and looked at Ji Huaichuan with a meaningful smile.
“Almost there.”
Ji Huaichuan followed Shen Tingsi into a courtyard. Only the gate was guarded. The inside was clean and full of sea calendula. Ji Huaichuan still remembered that the kings of various vassal states would send envoys to look for this kind of flower. He didn't expect that there would be so many in this small courtyard. Unfortunately, he still didn't know what the use of this flower was.
"Do they look nice? I'll have someone move two over to you later." Shen Tingsi said nonchalantly when he saw Ji Huaichuan staring at the flowers in the yard in a daze.
Ji Huaichuan shook his head, curled his lips and said, "I don't want it. It's so ugly."
Chen Tingsi chuckled softly and said, "Yes, your Highness is a princess, how could such a little flower catch your eye?"
Ji Huaichuan couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard Shen Tingsi's sarcastic tone, "Alright, alright, take me to see my brother."
"Let's go." Shen Tingsi put his hands behind his back and took Ji Huaichuan through the front yard to a remote house.
As soon as Ji Huaichuan stood at the door, he felt a chill. He rubbed his arms and said in a muffled voice, "This is an ice cellar, right?"
Shen Tingsi ignored him, straightened his collar and then opened the door. The room was beautifully decorated. Ji Fuqing was placed on a large ebony carved bed, wearing a green crown and looked like he was asleep.
Ji Huaichuan looked at the person on the bed and took a deep breath. "You left Tamutu in such a hurry just to steal my brother away while I was away?"
Shen Tingsi glanced at Ji Huaichuan and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I didn't bring the person back."
"Five Ghosts Moving Technique." Ji Huaichuan said coldly.
Chen Tingsi didn't respond. He walked to the bedside, took Ji Fuqing's hand and squeezed it, muttering to himself, "It will be soon. You will wake up soon. The yard is full of sea scutellaria. I don't know how they spread the saying that whoever gets the flowers will rule the world, but I think you will like it..."
Ji Huaichuan was silent for a moment, but couldn't help but say, "If my brother were alive, he wouldn't want to see you like this."
Unexpectedly, Shen Tingsi suddenly went crazy after hearing this. Before Ji Huaichuan could see clearly, he was grabbed by the neck. As his fingers tightened little by little, Shen Tingsi said sinisterly: "Xiao Huaichuan, my patience is not always there. You'd better not challenge my bottom line repeatedly."
After he finished speaking, Shen Tingsi swung his hand and Ji Huaichuan was thrown to the ground. His body curled up involuntarily and he coughed violently. Blood came out of his mouth. After a long while, Ji Huaichuan slowly stood up with the help of the table. This was the second time he was so embarrassed.
Ji Huaichuan stood up, wiped the blood from his mouth, and said softly in a calm but slightly hoarse voice, "You'll be on your own."
After saying that, Ji Huaichuan threw down the two iron blocks he brought, took a deep look at the person lying on the bed, turned around and left the yard. Shen Tingsi stood there for a long time, then slowly squatted down, picked up the iron blocks on the ground, wiped them carefully, and then put them next to Ji Fuqing.
Shen Tingsi stood in front of the bed, his thin lips slightly raised, and he whispered softly: "It will be soon, Fuqing, wait for me..."
After Ji Huaichuan left the yard, he cursed as he walked, "Shit, if I couldn't beat him, would I have endured this injustice?!"
"That's enough. It's amazing that you managed to survive his clutches." Li Guang consoled him.
Hearing Li Guang's voice, Ji Huaichuan became even more irritable. "Damn it, don't talk to me. I get angry just hearing your voice. We agreed to go find him together, but when we got there, no matter how hard I tried to shout, he wouldn't come out. Why is he coming out now?"
[Ahem, something just happened...] Li Guang coughed twice feeling somewhat guilty.
"Bullshit! You're just a coward. Even Chiyue is more reliable than you."
Ji Huaichuan rolled his eyes. Just now when he was being strangled by Shen Tingsi, the red moon on his wrist that had turned into a bracelet struggled a few times. If Shen Tingsi's pressure had not been too strong for it to transform, it would have come out and fought with Shen Tingsi.
"Don't say that. What do you mean I'm a coward? I'm rationally seeking benefits and avoiding harm. We're different. That madman won't kill you, but if I get out, I'll be gone, which will just be a good opportunity to strengthen his formation." Li Guang argued.
Ji Huaichuan sighed helplessly, rubbed his chest, and whispered, "Stop joking. Help me find a place. I need to rest up. Damn, that old man's blow almost shattered my heart, liver, spleen, and lungs."
[Then... return to the Bronze Gate?]
“I can’t get in.”
"Uh... what about Xunbao Temple? It's been abandoned for a long time, no one's here. I'll set up a formation so no one can get in." Li Guang thought for a moment and said.
"Lead the way." Ji Huaichuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth again.
…
"It's this one. Look at the globe in the photo. It's very similar to the one in Wu Sansheng's house."
Xie Yuchen and the others are still studying the screen and photos.
Wu Xie took a closer look and said, "This is indeed very similar to the one in his house, but how did you know he has a globe at home?"
Seeing that Jie Yuchen and Huo Xiuxiu were silent, Wuxie continued, "Have you been to Jie Lianhuan's room? When?"
Xie Yuchen chuckled, "Investigation, everything is for investigation."
Although Wuxie looked unconvinced, he didn't say anything else.
"In that case, our next step is to go there together," Xie Yuchen continued.
Huo Xiuxiu nodded, and Wuxie had no choice but to agree.
At night, Fatty called Wuxie, "Tian Zhen, didn't I tell you before that we fished out a bunch of bones from the water? Well, Fatty, I've put a few of them together for you. When you come back, there will be a large group of people welcoming you with drums and gongs. I'm being righteous!"
Afterwards, Wu Xie said something, but Fatty hung up the phone, walked over to Zhang Qiling, and said, "It seems Tian Nai's inference was correct. Since they found bones, it means that the first expedition team was really killed by Panma, and then they were replaced by the second expedition team. Tsk, Panma is such a piece of shit... Hey, are you still thinking about Xiao Chuan'er?"
Zhang Qiling finally reacted and nodded. The fat man sighed, "Don't worry, Xiao Chuan'er is so powerful, there must be no danger. He will come back when he calms down. If he hasn't come back yet when Tian Zhen comes back, we will accompany you to find him."
