Chapter Fifty p1
Bo Chi was hugged tightly, and she stood there stunned like a goose for a while before she came to her senses. She hurriedly broke free from Lan Yi’s embrace and introduced her to Yu Zhao: “This is my junior sister, Yun Lan Yi. Although we grew up together, I specialize in medicine, while she specializes in poison techniques.”
Yu Zhao’s smile had disappeared at some point, and now she nodded to Yun Lan Yi expressionlessly, her voice as cold and indifferent as the sharp sword she was holding: “Greetings, Miss Yun.”
Yun Lan Yi seemed to have just noticed that there was an outsider, and smiled shyly, her watery eyes falling on Bo Chi, and she said softly: “Sister Chi’er, this is…“
Bo Chi hummed, thought for a while, and said: “This… this is my friend, my best friend, Yu Zhao.”
Yun Lan Yi suddenly realized, leaned against Bo Chi weakly, and smiled sweetly: “So it’s just a friend…“
Yu Zhao’s eyes darkened slightly, her fingers rubbing the hilt of her sword, her whole body exuding a restrained but palpable danger.
Yun Lan Yi noticed it, her eyebrows furrowed, and she said slowly: “Sister’s friend is my friend. Miss Yu, please come with me, I’ll take you to find a place to stay and rest.“
Yu Zhao’s voice was cold: “Thank you, Miss Yun.”
Seeing that they were about to leave, Bo Chi naturally followed.
However, as soon as she moved, the two suddenly turned their heads and stared at her fixedly.
Bo Chi: “…Wh, why are you looking at me?“
Yu Zhao’s tone softened a bit, and compared to when she was talking to Yun Lan Yi, there was a bit more coaxing: “I’ll go clean up the room, you go back to your room and rest first.“
Yun Lan Yi immediately followed with a smile: “Master has been talking about you recently, Sister Chi’er, why don’t you go see Master and the others first? After Lan Yi finishes dealing with things here, I will definitely go and accompany sister.“
Bo Chi heard that they wanted to separate her, and couldn’t help but look at them a few more times.
Seeing that both of them were smiling happily, she could only nod in confusion: “Okay, then I’ll go find Master and report my safety first.“
There were three masters in the Medicine Valley. The first master taught them medicine, the second master taught poison techniques, and the third master was the laziest but also the most knowledgeable, and could teach anything.
The original owner grew up in the Medicine Valley since childhood, and her relationship with her fellow disciples was like that of biological sisters. She treated her masters like her parents, always respectful and admiring.
After separating from Yu Zhao, Bo Chi came to the medicine field according to her memory. As soon as she appeared, the girls in the medicine field rushed over happily and surrounded her, asking her all kinds of questions.
The commotion outside disturbed the alchemy room. The first master came out, and seeing that it was her who had returned, her face softened and she said: “Chi’er, come in and talk.”
With the first master speaking, Bo Chi finally escaped from her sisters.
She stepped into the alchemy room, and just as she greeted her master, the first master said with a kind smile: “I knew that as soon as the news of Lan Yi’s upcoming marriage was released, you would definitely come back.”
Bo Chi was just about to talk about her experiences during this time, but when she suddenly heard this, she couldn’t help but say in surprise: “Huh? Lan Yi is getting married?“
The first master heard the surprise in her tone, and was also stunned: “The owner of the Red Sleeve Pavilion fell in love with Lan Yi at first sight, and recently came to propose marriage with a large dowry. Now this news is spreading throughout the martial arts world, you didn’t know?”
After saying this, the first master’s face became subtle: “You came back at this time, I thought you were going to… to steal the bride.”
Bo Chi’s eyes widened: “Wait, who proposed? The owner of the Red Sleeve Pavilion? Isn’t that Zhang Yan! Good heavens, this person harmed me first, and now he wants to marry my junior sister? My foot! Let him dream!“
The first master’s eyes were puzzled: “Zhang Yan harmed you? What do you mean?“
Bo Chi angrily recounted the original owner’s story. The more she spoke, the more she felt something was wrong, and she said in a deep voice: “Zhang Yan mostly owns brothels, and he’s scheming, I don’t believe that he proposed to Lan Yi simply because of love, there must be a deeper reason.“
The first master was silent for a while, and slowly said: “Lan Yi is skilled in poison techniques, and your second master likes her very much. When she went out before, she often said that she wanted Lan Yi to inherit her unique skills and become the new Poison Venerable.”
Bo Chi thought hard, using her not-so-smart little brain to its fullest, and said firmly: “Zhang Yan must have taken a fancy to Lan Yi’s value, and used the proposal as an excuse to approach Lan Yi. Master, you must not let Lan Yi fall into his trap!“
The first master’s face showed helplessness, and she shook her head: “It’s too late for you to say this now. Zhang Yan is the owner of the Red Sleeve Pavilion, and he has great power in the martial arts world. When he came to propose marriage that day, Lan Yi refused, but under the pressure of the Red Sleeve Pavilion’s power, she finally had to compromise and change it to a special martial arts competition to recruit a husband.”
A bad premonition arose in Bo Chi’s heart, and she said with a horrified look: “Why are you staring at me like that? I’m naturally untalented in martial arts, and even if I practice for ten years, I won’t become a top-notch master, you, you know this.” The first master coughed lightly: “I know, not only do I know, Lan Yi knows too.”
Bo Chi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
However, she clearly relaxed too early. The first master continued: “So it’s a special martial arts competition to recruit a husband – it’s not only about martial arts, but also about medical skills. Others can choose one of the two, but Zhang Yan must choose medical skills. Whoever has better medical skills will be the winner.”
“Who Lan Yi expects and cares about when she chose such a rule… I think you understand, Chi’er.”
Bo Chi’s face was blank, and she said dryly: “I don’t want to understand.“
The first master looked at her: “What, you’re not happy? Seeing you and Lan Yi being so close in the past, we all thought you had that kind of feeling for her…”
“Of course not!” Bo Chi was dumbfounded. She had the plot and the original owner’s memories, and she knew better than anyone who the original owner liked: “Original, I’m straight, Master! I used to like Zhang Yan!“
Because of her excitement, her voice inevitably rose.
When she heard the sound of the door opening, she didn’t have time to stop, and finished speaking quickly before she reacted and turned to look at the door.
Standing in front of the open door were Yu Zhao and Lan Yi.
The room suddenly fell silent.
Bo Chi opened her mouth and said dryly: “I was talking about before…“
No one spoke, Yu Zhao and Yun Lan Yi looked at her with deep eyes.
After looking at each other for a while, Yu Zhao’s face darkened, and she turned and left first.
Bo Chi was afraid that she would impulsively go kill Zhang Yan, and immediately wanted to chase after her. But when she reached Yun Lan Yi’s side, Yun Lan Yi suddenly reached out and grabbed her slender arm, tears streaming down her face, and said tremblingly: “So, so sister never liked Lan Yi, it was Lan Yi’s wishful thinking, unrequited love…“
Bo Chi tried to pull her arm back, but the girl in front of her, although crying, had quite a bit of strength, and held onto her tightly, making her unable to move.
Bo Chi was numb, and looked at the first master with pleading eyes.
The first master’s gaze turned between the two of them, and then she showed a helpless expression, closed her eyes, and began to mutter as if nothing had happened: “Three taels of angelica, four coins of poria, club moss plus a thousand-root grass…“
Seeing that none of these people were reliable, Bo Chi could only patiently talk to Yun Lan Yi: “Don’t cry, you, you’re a good person, you will definitely find a good husband in the future.“
Yun Lan Yi shook her head, crystal tears sliding down her cheeks, with a kind of sad beauty: “Those people are not Sister Chi’er, Lan Yi doesn’t like others, I only have sister in my heart. If sister only has Zhang Yan in her heart, then Lan Yi, Lan Yi can also be a concubine…“
Bo Chi was startled by her words, and quickly dispelled her frightening thought: “The one who liked him was the past me, the current me is Niohuru Bo Chi!“
Yun Lan Yi: “?”
Bo Chi said firmly: “Anyway, that person is not a good person, I hate him so much that I want to kill that beast. Don’t get involved with him, stay away from him for your own safety.“
Yun Lan Yi smiled bitterly, and said softly: “But he has already set his sights on me. With the power of the Red Sleeve Pavilion, I’m afraid the final winner of the martial arts competition will definitely be him…“
Bo Chi hesitated and didn’t speak.
Yun Lan Yi’s eyes flickered slightly, and she let go of Bo Chi at the right time. When Bo Chi looked over, she put on a forced smile, and said considerately and gently: “It’s okay, if it’s not with sister, then it’s the same for Lan Yi to marry anyone. Besides, after marrying Zhang Yan, I will definitely try my best to find his weaknesses. As long as sister says the word, I will tell sister everything about him. This way… I’m also of some use to sister, right?“
Bo Chi’s heart softened at her words. Even though her hand was released, she couldn’t remember to chase after Yu Zhao, and shook her head: “No, how can I use you to do this kind of thing! The martial arts competition hasn’t started yet, we have enough time to think of a solution. If… I mean, if there’s really no other way, then I will naturally go on stage and defeat Zhang Yan, and I will definitely not let him touch you!“
Yun Lan Yi suddenly raised her head, her face full of joy and disbelief, and said carefully: “Sister, you, are you really willing—“
Bo Chi hurriedly interrupted, and said seriously: “In order to save you, I’m naturally willing. But you and I both know that this is a last resort. After this is over, you and I will become junior and senior sisters again, what do you think?“
What do I think?
Of course not.
What Yun Lan Yi wanted was never a junior and senior sister relationship.
But she could see that Bo Chi’s thoughts were firm at this time, and although she had pity for her, she didn’t have any tenderness, so she could only go with the flow and nod weakly: “Okay, Lan Yi will listen to sister.“
Food had to be eaten one bite at a time, and steps had to be taken one step at a time.
She was not in a hurry, she had plenty of time to slowly hunt her ignorant prey.
Bo Chi heard her obediently agree, and after a few more instructions, she said goodbye to Lan Yi and the first master, and began to look for Yu Zhao, who had left in anger.
She was most worried that the other party would leave the Medicine Valley in a fit of anger and go settle accounts with Zhang Yan. Fortunately, the maze and poisonous creatures in the Medicine Valley changed frequently. When Bo Chi found the exit of the Medicine Valley, she saw Yu Zhao standing there, staring at the poisonous scorpions ahead with a gloomy face.
Bo Chi hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Yu Zhao’s hand, and explained repeatedly: “The love I mentioned just now was before I met you. After meeting you—“
Yu Zhao, who was blocked by a scorpion, originally had a dark face. Hearing her words, she glanced over from the corner of her eye, and said stiffly with a hint of hidden expectation: “What happened after meeting me?“
Bo Chi looked at her expression, couldn’t see what she was thinking, and was afraid that a direct confession would scare this straightforward and rigid killer, so she changed her words: “After meeting you… I’ve seen through the world of mortals, and no longer like men!“
Yu Zhao: “…I’m a killer, not a monk.“
Why would she see through the world of mortals after being with her???
