<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
Pei Jing said goodbye to Ji Wuyou, and coincidentally, he saw someone pulling him aside, trying to hand him something in his arms, asking for his help to deliver it. Ji Wuyou was in a hurry and stuttered as he spoke, “Senior Brother, I have something urgent. I have a task to complete at the consulate building, and it’s almost time. I… I must go and submit the task.”
That Senior Brother instantly became unhappy and said, “You readily agree to others, but when it comes to me, you’re reluctant. Do you look down on me?”
The Obsessive Shou Moves On [Rebirth] Chapter 1
Ji Wuyou got scared. He had always been marginalized and isolated, developing a subconscious habit of seeking approval. He felt anxious when refusing others, “No, it’s not like that…”
Seeing his nervousness, that Senior Brother intensified his tone and directly threw the object at Ji Wuyou’s head, grunting, “I left the item here. If you don’t deliver it before it gets dark, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
The box was made of wood, and the sharp corner hit Ji Wuyou’s head, leaving a bruise. It hurt, and he held the wound, grimacing in pain as he crouched down.
Pei Jing watched coldly. That so-called Senior Brother was merely at the fifth level of Qi Gathering. Ji Wuyou could easily defeat him with just a flick of his finger.
However, he was ignorant and timid, with a lowly disposition.
This was the protagonist’s original characterization in the book.
Therefore, he was naturally suited to be bullied.
Everything fell into place, pushing Ji Wuyou onto the path of corruption.
Ji Wuyou’s hands trembled. He was afraid of being beaten. But if he didn’t complete the task at the Consulate Hall this time, he wouldn’t be able to take on any more tasks for the next three months. He held the wooden box close to his chest, gazing at the horizon where the sun was about to set. There was no time to go in any direction. He sank into deep confusion.
His eyes felt a bit sore, and then he saw a corner of a fluttering white robe.
He looked up, and against the incoming light, stood a young man named Zhang Yiming.
The young man, who had been smiling all along, had an expressionless face at this moment.
When he didn’t smile, he gave off a very serious vibe.
Ji Wuyou dared not speak.
Pei Jing suddenly lowered her head and asked him, “Do you know that he actually can’t defeat you?” Ji Wuyou opened his eyes and shook his head.
A slight smile curved at the corner of Pei Jing’s lips as he reached out hiz hand to him. “Give me that box.”
Ji Wuyou placed great trust in Zhang Yiming, perhaps more than trust alone. Hidden beneath his admiration and respect was a deep-seated sense of inferiority and fear. He handed the box to Zhang Yiming, unsure of what he intended to do.
Pei Jing opened the wooden box, revealing a ginseng plant. Judging by its appearance, it had likely been growing for several hundred years—a precious ingredient for alchemy.
