Chapter Fifty p2
Yu Zhao couldn’t understand, but after knowing that Bo Chi didn’t like Zhang Yan, she still secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and was half-persuaded and half-coaxed back to the room by Bo Chi.
Bo Chi actively poured her a cup of water, then propped up her chin and said: “You were standing there just now, were you thinking of leaving the Medicine Valley to kill Zhang Yan? You clearly know that you can’t beat him now, why are you still so impulsive?“
“Could it be…” Bo Chi blinked, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and deliberately said: “Could it be that you’re jealous?“
Yu Zhao’s cheeks suddenly flushed, she turned her head away and didn’t dare to look at Bo Chi, and changed the subject stiffly and hastily: “The tea is cold.“
Bo Chi was easily distracted, touched the cup and said blankly: “Is it cold? Wait, I’ll go change it for hot water.“
She left with the teapot, and Yu Zhao pursed her lips in the room, her clenched white fingers gradually loosening.
Once her attention was diverted, Bo Chi would hardly remember what she wanted to say before.
She chatted with Yu Zhao for a few more words, diligently helped her clean up the room, and then considerately left her time to meditate and practice martial arts, while she went to see the other masters one by one.
Her return caused quite a stir. Everyone had been worried that something had happened to her since she lost contact with the Medicine Valley. Now that she had returned safely, they couldn’t help but pull her and express their concern repeatedly.
Yu Zhao went out to find her several times, and saw her smiling brightly among a group of girls. The girls under the sun were enthusiastic and pure, like the sun without a trace of haze. Yu Zhao’s desire to approach slowly receded, and in the end, she just stood in the distance and watched quietly, no longer having the thought of approaching.
Two months passed in a flash. Yu Zhao finished her seclusion, her cultivation had improved even further, and the secret letter she sent when she first came out of the cliff also received a reply from the Tiansha Tower.
There weren’t many words in the letter, and it could be summarized in eight words – Martial arts competition, secretly assassinate.
Yu Zhao read it twice, and confusion appeared in her eyes.
Martial arts competition?
What martial arts competition?
Yu Zhao frowned and crushed the reply, deciding to ask Bo Chi.
With Bo Chi’s lively and playful nature, she might know something.
She left the room and walked towards the medicine field.
But after taking two steps, she saw many unfamiliar figures in the Medicine Valley. Those people were either dressed in the clothes of famous and righteous sects, or in the clothes of martial artists, looking around curiously, while the people of the Medicine Valley who usually walked around were rarely seen today.
Yu Zhao paused slightly, vaguely sensing something. Before she could take a few steps forward to ask, the martial artists who were looking around gathered together, and said with smiles, hooking their shoulders: “So this is what the Medicine Valley looks like, as expected of a hidden sect, it really looks like a paradise.“
“I heard that there is a medical immortal in the Medicine Valley, I wonder how elegant and refined this medical immortal is.“
“Since the owner of the Red Sleeve Pavilion wants to propose marriage, why doesn’t he propose to the medical immortal, but wants to marry an unknown girl?“
“Who knows? Maybe love at first sight is just so wonderful?“
Yu Zhao listened to their words, her expression changing several times. Finally, after hearing clearly that it was not Bo Chi who was recruiting a husband through martial arts competition, but someone else, her worried heart was finally relieved. She turned around and went to Bo Chi’s residence.
As she expected, because of the presence of these martial artists, Bo Chi was not collecting herbs in the medicine field, but was staying in the house, holding a medical book and reading it with a bitter face.
Yu Zhao stepped in and asked: “Today is the day of your junior sister’s martial arts competition to recruit a husband? Why didn’t you mention it to me before?“
Her sudden words startled Bo Chi. Bo Chi subconsciously hid the medical book, and stammered: “You, your time should be used for practicing martial arts, how can I bother you with these trivial matters?“
Her words sounded high-sounding, but Bo Chi was actually worried that when it was her turn to go on stage, Yu Zhao would misunderstand her and Yun Lan Yi if she saw it below, so she kept it a secret and didn’t tell her about it.
Yu Zhao glanced at Bo Chi, saw her guilty reaction, raised her eyebrows and asked: “So that’s it. It’s okay, I’ve already stabilized my cultivation and successfully come out of seclusion. Since today is the day of the martial arts competition to recruit a husband, I’ll go with you to take a look.“
Bo Chi hesitated.
Yu Zhao keenly noticed her hesitation, narrowed her eyes, and asked dangerously: “Are you hiding something from me?“
Bo Chi blinked, looked at Yu Zhao carefully, and said weakly: “You found out…“
She was like a cat being grabbed by the scruff of its neck, her whole body becoming honest, and she truthfully told her plan to go on stage.
Yu Zhao was originally still glad that it wasn’t Bo Chi who was recruiting a husband. Now that she heard that Bo Chi was actually the last one to go on stage, she immediately became jealous. After some restraint, she said in a low voice: “Is it really just an act?“
“Of course!” Bo Chi raised four fingers and said firmly: “If I lie to you, I’ll, I’ll eat Coptis chinensis raw!“
After getting along for more than half a year, Yu Zhao had already figured out Bo Chi’s preferences, and knew that with her sweet tooth, saying such words was no different from making a poisonous oath.
She barely believed it seventy percent, but still insisted: “I’m going with you.“
Bo Chi looked at her cold gaze, her head felt a little cold, and she couldn’t help but chuckle: “That’s not very good, Zhang Yan will be there today. You assassinated him half a year ago, what if he discovers your identity?“
“It’s fine.” Yu Zhao said calmly: “I wore a mask that day, he won’t recognize me. But you, you were pushed into my arms by him with one palm before, and you have a secret crush on him…“
Bo Chi covered her face and interrupted: “Can you not mention this again? Just pretend that I was blind when I was young, okay?“
Yu Zhao snorted coldly, pulled her hand down, pinched her pointed chin, and forced her to raise her head.
Bo Chi stared at her blankly, her eyes full of confusion.
Yu Zhao lowered her head, saw herself in Bo Chi’s eyes, felt satisfied, and curled her lips: “Look at me more, and you won’t be blind.“
Bo Chi: “…”
Bo Chi was choked, unable to tell whether Yu Zhao was being narcissistic or hinting at something.
Yu Zhao didn’t give her a chance to think more, and led her hand out.
Many people had already gathered outside, and even the competition stage was set up.
People from various sects were standing scattered below, and the leaders at the front were all surrounding the first master of the Medicine Valley, chatting and laughing with her.
As soon as Bo Chi and Yu Zhao appeared, gazes, both overt and covert, looked over. Some of them recognized the original owner, and were already whispering to the people around them: “It’s Miss Bo, the medical immortal of the Medicine Valley. I heard that the one recruiting a husband today is her junior sister.“
“Doesn’t the medical immortal admire Pavilion Master Zhang? Could it be that the information I got is false?“
“So what if she admires him? The pavilion master has never said that he likes the medical immortal.“
“The pavilion master is here today to marry the medical immortal’s junior sister. If your information is correct, isn’t this a sign that the two women will become enemies for one man?“
“Pavilion Master Zhang is really lucky… Huh, the woman who walked to the medical immortal’s side seems to be her junior sister, Yun Lan Yi, right?“
“Indeed, it seems there’s a good show coming up – huh? Why did Yun Lan Yi hug the medical immortal??“
Not only were the onlookers surprised, but even Bo Chi was stunned, and instinctively pushed Yun Lan Yi away.
As a result, Yun Lan Yi took advantage of the situation and grabbed her hand, raised her charming and pretty face, and said with watery eyes: “Sister Chi’er, Lan Yi doesn’t want to get married, Lan Yi is so scared…“
Bo Chi’s heart softened at her words, and she couldn’t help but comfort her: “Don’t be afraid, big sister is here, I definitely won’t let that bad person force you to marry him!“
Yun Lan Yi smiled happily, naturally wrapped her arms around Bo Chi’s waist, and rested her head on Bo Chi’s shoulder.
Bo Chi had never been relied on so delicately before, and she couldn’t help but touch her head.
Yun Lan Yi’s smile deepened, her eyes turned slightly, she glanced at Yu Zhao, who had a dark face, and deliberately said: “Sister, if you hug me like this, will Miss Yu be angry? I took Miss Yu to find a room before, and she looked unhappy, no matter what nice things I said, she ignored me, does she hate me?“
Bo Chi said casually: “No, she’s just like that, neither cold nor warm to anyone.“
Yu Zhao, who was on the side, suddenly grabbed Bo Chi’s other hand, and when Bo Chi turned around in surprise, she smiled coldly: “Medical Immortal, you’re wrong. I’m cold to others, but I’ve always been warm to you.“
Her voice was low, and the end of her words carried some meaning. Bo Chi was stunned, and her face felt inexplicably hot.
The discussion not far away rose at the right time.
“What’s going on? This doesn’t seem like a falling out atmosphere?“
“Obviously not, how can people hug each other and not let go when they’re falling out?“
“Although I’ve heard that women are always more intimate, but, but their behavior is really a bit too intimate!“
“Who is that woman in black? Why is she inserting herself between the medical immortal and her junior sister?“
“Why do I feel like the three of them are fighting over love?” “Maybe the medical immortal and her junior sister have an unusually good relationship?“
Curious gazes and words sounded around them, and Bo Chi finally realized that this was not a good time to be intimate. She hurriedly withdrew her hand from Yu Zhao, and pushed away Yun Lan Yi’s reluctant head with a straight face, and said seriously: “There are outsiders here, don’t let people see us as a joke.”
Regret flashed in Yun Lan Yi’s eyes. Just as she was about to say something, a man’s surprised voice came, a little hesitant: “Chi’er? Is that you?“
Hearing this voice, Bo Chi and the others turned their heads at the same time and looked over with unkind eyes.
The newcomer’s face didn’t change, his affectionate gaze fixed on Bo Chi, and he said gently: “Chi’er… Medical Immortal, that day you were held hostage by the killer, and fell off the cliff with her. We followed closely and shouted anxiously, but we couldn’t find you. At that time, I thought you were no longer alive, I didn’t expect that in my lifetime, I would be able to see you again.“
Mentioning the falling off the cliff, Bo Chi became angry, and said sarcastically: “So Pavilion Master Zhang thought I was dead, and couldn’t wait to propose to my junior sister. It’s a pity to disappoint you, as long as I’m alive, you’ll never be able to control the Medicine Valley through my junior sister.“
Zhang Yan stepped forward, didn’t speak, but carefully looked at Bo Chi, and said thoughtfully: “Medical Immortal is becoming more and more sharp-tongued. I still remember half a year ago, you often carried a medicine box, followed behind me, and called me ‘Brother Zhang Yan’ softly…“
The air suddenly froze.
Zhang Yan’s words angered two people.
Yun Lan Yi was the first to put away her smile, and said coldly: “Pavilion Master Zhang, don’t misunderstand. My senior sister speaks softly to everyone. Half a year ago, she often followed you because you were sick, and personally asked my senior sister to come out of the valley to treat you. If you say it like this, if outsiders who don’t know misunderstand, I will be angry for my senior sister.“
