Chapter 415: Si Jin’s Return 10

After Si Jin had his meal, he went to play with the three children. Lu Yan asked Steward Zhang to call Qi Qingyao over. After Qi Qingyao sat down, Lu Yan did not bother beating around the bush with her and got straight to the point. “He’s too strong. Don’t you think it’s very strange? Don’t you think all of this is very inconceivable? Shouldn’t you be suspicious of his origins?”

“You guys think too much!” Of course she knew that Si Jin was so strong to the point of abnormality, but, “Gongsun She did say I was the fated person. What if he used to be a rank eight before this, but unknowingly advanced to rank nine, and then to grand master? Then, to the most powerful grand master!!”

“That’s also…” There was such a possibility, but Lu Yan thought that it was unlikely. Lu Yan muttered, “He really has an unknown origin!”

Qi Qingyao massaged her forehead and murmured, “A lot of my past is also unknown. My children’s origins are even more unknown!”

“…” Lu Yan was suddenly speechless.

Qi Qingyao reminded him nonchalantly, “What’s important for you to care about now is how the forgery is going.”

“…”

Lu Yan was silent for a while. He had to head out and ask Dong Jing about that matter… He would have to rush him!

When it came time for lunch that day, Steward Zhang had taken the liberty of asking the kitchen to prepare a table full of dishes. When the dishes were served, he even went to the library to call Si Jin. He called out kindly, “Master Si Jin, it’s time to eat.”

“…” Si Jin was stunned by Steward Zhang’s attitude. When he was led to the dining hall, he sat down next to Qi Qingyao very nervously.

Qi Qingyao thought that Steward Zhang had prepared a table full of dishes to celebrate the death of a grand master today. She did not expect Steward Zhang to tell Si Jin extra excitedly, “The kitchen made this specially for you.”

Si Jin, “…”

Qi Qingyao, “…”

Steward Zhang thought that Qi Qingyao usually did not allow Si Jin to eat some dishes, so he said unsolicitedly, “You can eat more of these dishes.”

“….” Qi Qingyao wondered if these dishes had not actually been made for her, nor for the celebration, but because Steward Zhang thought she usually stopped Si Jin from eating?

Si Jin looked at Steward Zhang, then at the table full of dishes. He gulped, picked up the bowl of white rice, and said in a muffled voice, “I only like white rice.”

Steward Zhang, “…”

Si Jin held the bowl and began eating his white rice.

Qi Qingyao glanced at Steward Zhang in annoyance. Steward Zhang stepped aside and began asking someone to quietly write down that Master Si Jin had not liked eating the dishes!

Qi Qingyao did not express any dissatisfaction with Steward Zhang’s behavior. Since Si Jin was now the guardian angel of the family, he had to be properly! fed

After lunch.

Qi Qingyao and Si Jin sat at the side. She began glancing at Si Jin very helplessly, and it made Si Jin a little restless, so he asked her what was wrong.

Qi Qingyao shook her head.

Si Jin insisted on telling her to tell him if there was anything up.

Qi Qingyao still shook her head.

Si Jin asked a little aggrievedly if he had done something wrong.

Qi Qingyao said no.

Si Jin was suddenly on the verge of tears. He covered his eyes and said, “Is Sister planning to get rid of me?”

“No!!” What a joke! He was probably the most amazing person in the Mainland now. How could she get rid of him?

“Then, why are you hesitating so much…” Si Jin looked at her with a pitiful face.

Qi Qingyao, “…”

There was no way she would get rid of him.

However.

It was not like Lu Yan’s words had not made sense.

Why was he so strong? To be able to take down two grand masters within half an hour, leaving one dead and wounding another. Also, why had he not asked for anything in return, going as far as staying by her side humbly?

Was there any reason behind it?

There were two parts to a certain proverb. The first part was, “One does not visit a temple without intentions!”

The second sentence was, “Too much kindness usually means hidden maliciousness!”

Qi Qingyao really wanted to ask him but was afraid she would not get anything out of it. After all, he must have had a reason for always staying so low-key.

Wait, perhaps it was as they had guessed before, that he was a powerhouse above the level of a grand master, and that someone above the level of a grand master had the ability to look young again. He then put on the appearance of a young person to secretly approach her… when he was actually the children’s biological father!

Just thinking about the possibility made her facepalm.

Si Jin, “???”

Qi Qingyao opened her mouth with some difficulty but could not get even a word out. After holding back for a long while, she choked out, “They said Erniu has the talent to be a practitioner.”

“…” Si Jin nodded seriously.

Qi Qingyao asked embarrassedly, “Since you’re so amazing, do you want to take Erniu as an apprentice?”

Si Jin was slightly taken aback. Then, he scratched his head and said, “I, uh, I…”

Seeing that he was a little troubled, Qi Qingyao asked, “Don’t you want to teach her?”

“No, I…” Si Jin hurriedly tried to explain himself.

Qi Qingyao did not want to trouble him, so she quickly said, “It’s okay if you don’t want to teach her, I was just asking.”

“Don’t be angry, sister.” Si Jin was even more anxious. He grabbed Qi Qingyao’s hand hastily and said with a blushing face, “It’s not that I don’t want to teach her, I can’t.”

Qi Qingyao was confused, “??”

Si Jin looked down and said with a little embarrassment on his brows. “I, uh, the method I practice is a bit different from ordinary people’s, so I can’t teach ordinary people.”

“How different?” Qi Qingyao wondered.

Si Jin did not want to say, but he also did not want to keep it from Qi Qingyao. Thus, he only said after racking his brains for a long time, “I have to spend a few hours in the water every day. The method I practice is related to water. So… I can’t teach humans.” Heaven knew how much he wanted to teach. Alas… he was not a human. His practice did not depend on logic!

Qi Qingyao did not doubt him as she had seen him saying he was going for a swim early in the morning before. It seemed like the swims had been related to water. She could not bear to let Erniu soak in cold water every day. She would feel bad for her!

“Then I’ll hire a master to teach her when we head back,” Qi Qingyao said.

She said that.

Who specifically could she hire, though.

Qi Qingyao had no idea.

…

…

Somewhere else.

When Pang Juan was beaten to death by Si Jin on the surface of Qingyang Lake in the morning, Gongsun She had taken the opportunity to jump into the lake and escape.

He only swam to the shore in dire straits after half an hour.

He dragged his severely injured body and climbed out of the water. He was half-dead!

Gongsun She held onto the last scrap of life he had left to climb out of the water. After taking a few steps, he fell directly onto the nearby grass. He completely passed out immediately after. When he woke up, he found himself lying on a bed.

Gongsun She was a little dazed.

The energy in his chest churned.

He could not but vomit some blood.

The blood splattered directly onto the blanket, staining it red.

He raised his fatigued hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and suddenly realized that the wounds on his body seemed to have been bandaged.

Gongsun She was a little puzzled. Who had saved him?

He hung onto his extremely exhausted spirit. After waiting for a long while, the door was pushed open and an old man entered. When Gongsun She saw the person who had come in, his pupils shrank involuntarily.

He asked in a rough and hoarse voice, “How is it you?!”

“Why can’t it be me?”

The old man pretty much took his time to look at the lifeless Gongsun She, then placed a bowl of medicine on the table. “This is the medicine that I asked the kitchen to make for you just now. Do you want to drink it? If you don’t, I’ll pour it away.”

Gongsun She, “…” Of course he wanted to drink it!! If he did not drink it, he could forget about wanting his internal injuries to get better in a few months!

After he expressed that he wanted to drink it, the old man brought the medicine over and even personally fed it to Gongsun She, who was currently immobilized.

Gongsun She said cautiously while drinking the medicine, “You still haven’t told me why you’re here.” The person before him was previously the only grand master in Northern Liang besides the young grand master. He was named Shang Li! He was seventy-three years old this year.

Shang Li shrugged. After he finished feeding Gongsun She the medicine, he casually placed the bowl on the table and replied, “Two grand masters came to Qingzhou City, and I’m Northern Liang’s only grand master. How could I not show up?”

After he said that, he looked at Gongsun She, all smiles.

Gongsun She said as he thought about how he had not suffered such a serious injury in many years, “Then why didn’t you show up when we were fighting on the lake before?”

Shang Li sat on a chair at one side of the room and looked at Gongsun She with a smile, “The young grand master is from Northern Liang. He wanted to challenge the both of you alone, si of course I had to give the young man a chance and assess his abilities at the same time. If he had been about to be beaten to death by the two of you… I surely would have intervened and helped him. No matter what, he’s still a young genius from Northern Liang. Of course I have to protect him.” ‘I just never considered that he would not need protection at all.’

Gongsun She said with a ghastly look on his face, “So you hid in the dark and watched everything.”

Shang Li shrugged his shoulders undeniably. “I didn’t think he would be that strong.” He was abnormally strong!

“That’s why you so kindly saved me?” Gongsun She’s muddy gaze was filled with shock. The Shang Li he had heard about from the rumors was not this kind! This old man was rumored to be vindictive and even a little petty. Apparently he had been traveling around a few capital cities in Northern Liang to look for the fated person just so he could advance to a level above grand master. Unfortunately, who would have guessed that…

Shang Li said, “I was not trying to save you. I just want to fight you and hear your personal account of his strength.”

“…” ‘The former is a convenience, and the latter is your real objective, isn’t it!’

Shang Li suddenly grew serious, “Is he really strong?”

Lying still, the lucky Gongsun She pressed the corner of his lips down helplessly and said, “Very strong.”

“How strong?” Shang Li asked.

Gongsun She thought for a while about what adjectives to use. After a long time, he said, “Incomparable.”

“…” That word… made Shang Li frown slightly.

He felt like Gongsun She was exaggerating.

However, Pang Juan had died, and Gongsun She was severely injured.

Which meant that this man had no reason to exaggerate at all.

The battle on the surface of Qingyang Lake had also been very vivid at the time.

Although Shang Li failed to get close to the center of the tempestuous circle, he had felt the destruction power from within the barrier.

Shang Li got up and said, “I won’t ask you any more questions. I’ll go meet that young boy, you just lay here and rest.”

Meet Si Jin? Gongsun She looked at Shang Li’s back and suddenly said, “I think he might not be a human.”

“???” Shang Li turned his head quickly and looked at the old man who was lying motionlessly with an unbelievable gaze.

Gongsun She said with certainty, “If he’s human, then his strength is definitely above that of a grand master!”

Shang Li narrowed his eyes and said, “You mean to say he broke through?”

“I don’t know, but I think that if there is a level above grand master, he is surely above you and me.” Gongsun She closed his eyes. He did not want to recall the brutality of the previous battle and Pang Juan’s death. Ever since he advanced to the level of a grand master, as one of the biggest powerhouses in the mainland, he had not been afraid of anyone anymore. He did not fear anyone, including the emperors of each country.

Today, however, he had developed fear of a person for the first time.

A fear borne from his very bones.

Gongsun She reminded him kindly, “If you see him, don’t lay a hand on him.”

Shang Li, “…”

Gongsun She was silent for a moment, then said again, “Or you’ll die a miserable death.”
