Chapter 2075 How to Tame a Naughty Boy 23
Of course, Jinchen and Ji Laizhi did not follow the Jianzhuang team. Ji Laizhi seldom left Qingyun City and pestered Jinchen to take the mountain paths. Setting off early would allow them to enjoy the mountains and rivers at the same time.
Not long after, the two arrived outside Cangzhou City. It was another evening.
"We'll continue our journey tomorrow. I see an inn in the bamboo forest ahead. Let's rest for a night first." Jinchen was still wearing a white shirt and a veiled hat. He did not look a bit tired after running around for days.
Ji Laizhi, on the other hand, looked a little wilted from the sun, but after being dressed up by Jinchen, he looked more like a handsome young man who had lost his way in the mountains.
"Okay, then I'll go book a room first." Ji Laizhi dismounted, handed the reins to Jinchen, took out his now bulging purse and ran towards the inn.
Jinchen was silent for two seconds.
[I think he will be ripped off.] Jinchen said.
How could someone just walk into the inn with a bag of money so carelessly?
[Ah, you can afford it anyway,] Ling Gungun laughed a few times, [Remember to save two chicken legs for me when we eat later~]
[……]Jinchen manually muted it.
In the inn, two young men were crowded in front of the counter, neither of them giving way to the other.
"There is only one room left in the west wing of the Tianzihao. I'm afraid only one of the two young men can get it."
The shopkeeper rubbed his thumbs on the abacus beads until they were shiny, and he glanced at the equally high-spirited young man in front of the counter and smiled helplessly.
Ji Laizhi flicked open Fengyang's scabbard with his fingers, and the cloud crane pattern on his sleeves swept across the counter: "Before this person came, I just handed over the deposit."
He had a good appearance that could deceive ghosts and be charming. At this moment, even his sarcasm was wrapped in a layer of coldness. He had learned Jinchen's momentum to the fullest. "Don't you understand that first come first served?"
Fengyang, who was standing opposite, was wearing an orange-red dress that looked as fiery as fire, and had a headband pressing down her eyebrows that were flying into her temples. She sneered when she heard the words.
"Deposit?" Fengyang threw out a deed with the seal of "Juxian Manor".
"This room was named Feng Xuzi three days ago. Are you worthy of hearing my master's name?"
He deliberately emphasized the three words "Feng Xuzi", and there was an immediate commotion in the hall, with everyone looking over here.
Ji Laizhi suddenly found it ridiculous.
But Jinchen didn't let him reveal his identity at will.
"I don't care who your master is. Even if your master is the king of heaven, he can't take my room!"
Feng Yang's ears suddenly turned red, and he suddenly jumped up. The golden bell chess piece on his waist turned into twelve streams of light and went straight to Ji Lai's heart, but it strangely froze in the air three inches away from his collar.
Ji Laizhi poured out half a cup of tea with his backhand, and the scalding water droplets formed an icy line, nailing the golden chess piece to the beam.
Ji Laizhi thought to himself: Jinchen didn't allow me to hurt others at will, but this guy attacked first, so you can't blame me.
The shopkeeper was not surprised by the fight between the two teenagers. He just fiddled with the abacus and started calculating the losses.
Outside the inn at this time.
Feng Xuzi was bowing and said respectfully, "Your Excellency, Mr. Yao Wang sent one of the antidotes to Wuxiangsi, and Mo Hei said that you had already left for Cangzhou, so I took the initiative to send the medicine to you."
"Thank you." Jin Chen took the jade bottle, weighed it, frowned and asked, "So many?"
Feng Xuzi: "The King of Medicine said that this is the first antidote. There are a total of twenty-four pills. Take one pill every three days. If the poison takes effect, take five pills until they are all gone."
There was silence for a few seconds.
Feng Xuzi looked up in confusion, and saw Jin Chen asking again: "Is this medicine bitter?"
Feng Xuzi: ???
How can I not eat bitter food?
Are you being a little too doting on your mysterious new disciple?
Feng Xuzi said politely: "Your Excellency, good medicine tastes bitter."
Jin Chen hummed and put it into his sleeve, "It's also okay to eat it with candied fruit."
Feng Xuzi: “…” Huh.
Boom!
The door of the inn was suddenly smashed.
Jinchen glanced sideways and saw Ji Laizhi chasing Fengyang out with a long mace in his hand.
"Master!!!" Feng Yang roared wildly, he was really no match for him and now he had bruises from the punches.
He rushed to Feng Xuzi and cried, "I was beaten! That person didn't know what was good for him and even robbed me of my No. 1 room!"
Feng Xuzi coughed softly, "Don't be rude in front of the Venerable!"
"...Hiccup!"
Feng Yang was so frightened that he took three steps back and bowed, "Junior Feng Yang greets the Grandmaster."
Jin Chen looked at Ji Laizhi who was approaching meaningfully, and said to Feng Yang calmly: "No need to be polite."
Feng Xuzi then asked, "Which youngster could beat you like this? How dare you be so arrogant when you go out?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Ji Laizhi who was walking leisurely towards him, and his eyes couldn't help but become more scrutinizing.
Jinchen: "My home."
Feng Xuzi was shocked.
Fengyang looked up suddenly, and was shocked to see that the arrogant young man had changed his domineering temperament and leaned into the arms of the Venerable as if he was aggrieved.
"He hit me so hard." Ji Laizhi put away his mace, turned his head and rubbed Jinchen's shoulder, sighing.
"This guy is talking about what his master is...Xiaozi, I am not even worthy of hearing his name."
Feng Xuzi: ...
Fengyang swallowed with a gulp.
My life is over.
Before his master could react, Feng Yang threw himself to the ground and hugged Feng Xuzi's thighs.
"Master! I was wrong! I didn't know this man was the Reverend's mysterious new disciple!"
Ji Laizhi lowered his eyes and thought that both of them were Wu Xiangsi's people, so he patted his sleeves generously.
"Well, forget it. You should be more careful in the future. Don't challenge your master casually when you go out. What if you can't win?"
Fengyang: "..."
My master is already the most powerful person in the world!
It's my bad luck to meet you today.
Jinchen hugged the cheerful boy with one hand and pinched his neck. "You were crying hungry just now, but now you have the energy to fight again?"
Ji Lai realized what was happening and became dispirited again. He leaned sideways into Jinchen's arms, fearing that he would be scolded.
"I'm exhausted, not at all, hug me."
After dinner, Jinchen and Fengxuzi discussed things. Ji Laizhi and Fengyang, who were of similar age, became familiar with each other quickly.
After listening to Fengyang's explanation, Ji Laizhi realized that they were half-members of Wuxiangsi.
Feng Xuzi is the abbot of Wenxinzhai. He discusses Taoism through chess, which can be used to attack the mind or as a weapon to take lives.
Wenxinzhai is a branch of Wuxiangsi in Cangzhou.
Feng Yang threw peanuts into his mouth one by one, "You don't even know that the news of accepting a disciple was released by the Venerable himself. Wu Xiang Si and even all the branch forces know about it."
Ji Laizhi tried to be reserved, but he couldn't hide his happiness. He curved his eyes and said, "Like this."
Feng Yang glanced at him and couldn't help but sit up straighter. He was indeed the disciple of the Venerable. Apart from his bad temper, he was just as calm and reserved as him.
At this moment, Ji Laizhi's heart was filled with undercurrents:
Jinchen's promise is indeed the most reliable in the world!
Why haven’t you finished chatting yet? I want to go up and stay with Jinchen.
I don't want to be here with the kids.
At this time, Feng Yang asked again, "It's strange, the Venerable never accepted disciples before. Only Dugu Wen from Wulin League caught his eye. Wulin League even prepared the apprenticeship ceremony, but Dugu Wen still didn't pass the last test."
"In the end, the Venerable only promised to occasionally teach Dugu Wen. What unique skills do you have? What is the last level of the test? How could you pass it like this?"
Ji Laizhi: “…Oh?”
He narrowed his eyes, "Dugu Wen almost became Jinchen's apprentice."
No wonder the Wulin Alliance had to stay in Jianzhuang for so long!
Dugu Wen comes to Guanyunyuan every now and then!
He didn't even realize that the man was trying to snatch Jinchen!
Ji Laizhi glanced sideways and saw Fengyang's eyes full of curiosity. He said in a faint tone: "You may not believe it, but I am different from others."
"Jinchen is going to be my master."
Although the person I can’t leave now is myself.
Ji Laizhi didn't care about Fengyang's petrified look, turned around and ran upstairs.
