论如何错误地套路一个魔教教主 / The Wrong Way to a Demon Sect Leader by 一只大雁 (Yi Zhī Dàyàn)

Chapter 46

Yan Daifu leaves a prescription, explains to the head maidservant the items she needs to note. The foundation of Ji Han's body is alright, he guesses he must not be able to leave his bed and walk around for a few days, able to be entirely restored after a couple of months of self-cultivation.

Zhao Jiangui however still hangs his head dispiritedly, he thinks in his heart about how he already made Ji Han spit blood with one strike of his palm, in his head he's extremely upset.

He sits in the corner very far away from the bed, sees the head maidservant and maids serving Ji Han a bowl of white congee to drink, the medicine hasn't yet been decocted. They then must help Ji Han to lie down and rest once more.

Ji Han however is not at all willing to lie down, he whispers something in the head maidservant's ear. The head maidservant then turns her head to come over, face full of profound meaning, saying to Zhao Jiangui, "Zhao Gongzi, Jiaozhu requests you to go speak."

Zhao Jiangui instantly thinks he heard wrong.

The head maidservant says with a smile, "Zhao Gongzi, you can never make Jiaozhu come over."

Zhao Jiangui then goes.

On Ji Han's face there is already color, just his two lips are still pale, his breathing is weak, his speech also appears weak and without strength.

Zhao Jiangui inevitably feels even more guilty.

If he hadn't insisted on pretending to be unwell, Ji Han absolutely wouldn't have been injured, if he hadn't insisted on alleviating Ji Han, Ji Han absolutely wouldn't have spit blood.

He almost messed this thing up completely.

Ji Han looks at his eyes, slowly calls his name, "Zhao Jiangui."

Zhao Jiangui already hangs his head in shame as he goes.

Ji Han says, "I received extremely serious internal injuries, there was originally clotted blood coagulating in my chest."

Upset, Zhao Jiangui says, "I shouldn't have struck you that time."

Ji Han, "I spit out all the clotted blood from my chest, not blood brought out by the strike of your palm."

Zhao Jiangui, "..."

Ji Han continues, "But your one strike was still quite painful."

When Ji Han says this, his expression is ordinary, without even the least bit of anger in his manner.

Zhao Jiangui, "It's my fault."

"You don't need to admit fault." Ji Han thinks a bit, hesitates somewhat, however he still opens his mouth, "You... You haven't rested properly for some time."

Zhao Jiangui stares blankly.

There's no time for him to speak, the head maidservant already interrupts to say, "After Jiaozhu was seriously injured and unconscious, Zhao Gongzi didn't close his eyes."

Ji Han's expression appears considerably complex.

Zhao Jiangui says, "I've rested."

Ji Han, "Rest not leaning on a bed?"

Zhao Jiangui says, "I'm a martial person, this doesn't count as anything."

Ji Han knits his brows, turns his head and orders the head maidservant to put the neighboring house in order.

"I've already woken up, you don't need to still keep watch in here." Ji Han says to Zhao Jiangui, "I've had them put the neighboring house in order, go over and rest properly."

Zhao Jiangui hides the pouch of pine nut candy in his chest, thinking to himself that he still has not waited until Ji Han takes his medicine, he hurriedly says, "It's no problem, I've just rested a while."

When Zhao Jiangui seriously thinks it over, he continues, "More than one shichen, it's enough."

Ji Han, "..."

He doesn't speak again, seeming to feel exhausted already.

The head maidservant already drags Zhao Jiangui out the door.

"Zhao Gongzi, first rest." She says, "No one can yet make his injuries well, your body also continues to wear down."

Zhao Jiangui is forced to nod.

He returns to the neighboring house, consciously washes his face, recalling what has happened over these two days, his mind is still somewhat chaotic.

He thinks of the matter of Wen Zhanglao that he must go discuss with Ji Han, however now isn't the time, Ji Han's injuries are still too serious, telling him in a few more days still isn't too late.

There are also those two assassins, he doesn't know what is asked from the mouths of the Demon Sect, needing to coax out information about their client is most likely very difficult. He worries since the first time they were unable to assassinate there will be again a second time, if there's a first time luckily succeeding, that isn't good.

Suddenly someone comes to knock on his door.

Zhao Jiangui recognizes that this is the maid from Ji Han's room, the young lady wears a dark green long skirt on her whole body, in her hands she holds up a decoratively carved food box, smiling as she hands the thing over to him.

"Jiaozhu heard Zhao Gongzi still hasn't taken a meal until now. He specially ordered this servant to come and deliver this." She blinks, "These few days Jiaozhu can't bear to see oily food, so everything is a somewhat light side dish, he also doesn't know what Zhao Gongzi is accustomed to eating."

Zhao Jiangui says, "Many thanks."

The young lady isn't at all anxious to leave, "Jiaozhu also said, if Zhao Gongzi, you aren't accustomed to eating this, what would you like to eat? Just order and the kitchen will make it, the cook's craftsmanship is also good."

Zhao Jiangui, "I'm accustomed to eating this."

The young lady bounces back to report on her completed mission. Zhao Jiangui opens up the food box, besides white congee there are only green vegetables and tofu inside, very light indeed.

But this however is something Ji Han specially ordered people to come deliver.

He places one between his chopsticks? A green vegetable, he puts it into his mouth.

From Ji Han's reaction and attitude toward him today, Zhao Jiangui knows he's already not too far off from success.

He sighs a breath downward, he doesn't know why he only feels as if he's chewing wax, the slightest amount of happiness doesn't come.
