"Sister?" Zi pursed her lips. "I've struggled to survive since I was young, but after a dozen years, a pair of parents and a sister popped out of nowhere. Haha … Anyway, in my heart, they're not as close as Master."
Song QingShu immediately fell silent. When he thought of how much hardship she had suffered growing up in a place like Xingxiu Sect, he couldn't blame her anymore. He reached out and stroked her hair. "Little Zi, I won't let anyone bully you anymore."
Zi pouted. "I don't want to ~"
"???" Song Qingshu looked at her in confusion. He didn't understand why she refused.
Zi then moved closer to him and giggled. "I love being bullied by Master."
Song Qingshu couldn't help but laugh. "You're really a little witch!"
"Master, do you want to bully me? I'm wearing my sister's clothes right now. "Zi licked her lips. Her eyes exuded a hint of charm that was between a young girl and a young married woman.
"Uh ~" Song Qingshu's heart skipped a beat. No wonder Azhu had to remind him not to drag her into this when he was playing with Zi. It seemed like she really had foresight.
Suddenly, he looked out of the window thoughtfully and said to Zi, "It seems like Xiao Yuanshan is back. Take off Azhu's clothes and change back into your own."
"Okay!" Ah Zi was also clear that this matter had to be hidden from Xiao Feng and his son, so she naturally couldn't wear Ah Zhu's clothes. She walked to the side of the wardrobe, and without the slightest scruple of Song QingShu, she directly took off her clothes, revealing a beautiful young girl's body, and then slowly changed into her own clothes.
Song Qingshu knew that this little witch wanted to take the opportunity to seduce him. However, he had important matters to attend to, so he didn't have time to respond to her enthusiasm. "Later, remember to tell Xiao Yuanshan that you want to leave. It's best if he misunderstands that you're leaving because of Xiao Feng's downfall."
Since he planned to let Zi pretend to be Azhu, then there must be a reasonable explanation for Zi's disappearance. Otherwise, it would easily arouse the suspicion of Xiao Feng and his son.
Zi seemed to have guessed what he was thinking. She smiled and agreed, "No problem."
After she changed her clothes, Song Qingshu brought her out and came to the main hall, where he discovered that Azhu was bandaging Xiao Yuanshan's wounds.
"It's no big deal. This old man doesn't care about such a small injury." Xiao Yuanshan pretended to be heroic as he comforted Azhu who was secretly crying at the side, it was just that he was seriously lacking in energy when he spoke, which deeply betrayed him.
"Uncle, don't talk anymore. Otherwise, the bandaged wound will open again." Azhu said in a hurry.
Song Qingshu stepped forward and asked, "Senior Xiao, how did you suffer such heavy injuries?" Although he said this, he was very satisfied in his heart. He had originally wanted to borrow the hands of the palace guards to heavily injure him so that he would spend the next few days recuperating and not come out to cause trouble, in case it affected his plan.
Azhu obviously knew about it. Hearing this, she raised her head and glared at him. However, when she met his half-smiling eyes, she couldn't help but think of what had just happened. She hurriedly lowered her head guiltily. At the same time, a faint layer of red rose on her neck.
Xiao Yuanshan was careless and naturally didn't notice the exchange between the two of them. Instead, Zi, who was at the side, saw it and revealed a thoughtful expression.
"I can't stay here for long in case someone finds out. The soldiers outside are all Yelu Hongji's dogs." When Xiao Yuanshan spoke, the wounds on his body moved and he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. "I mainly came to see you. Since you are safe and sound, I can rest assured. In the next period of time, I need to find a place to focus on recuperating. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you. I can only trouble Qingshu."
Zi, who was at the side, had a half-smile on her face. She thought to herself, if you let Master take care of your daughter-in-law, wouldn't he have to take care of her until she was in bed?
Azhu clearly thought of something similar, but she couldn't tell the truth. She could only silently lower her head.
Song Qingshu replied with a smile: "Senior Xiao, don't worry. I will protect sister-in-law well during this period of time."
Hearing his promise, Xiao Yuanshan couldn't help but sigh in relief. Azhu and Zi, on the other hand, secretly spat. It was rare for sisters with completely different personalities to reach an agreement on the same matter.
"Zi, take care of your sister during this period of time." Xiao Yuanshan was about to leave when he suddenly remembered that Song Qingshu and Azhu were men and women. Some things were more suitable for Zi to deal with.
He had thought that Zi would agree immediately. Who knew that she would snort: "I'm leaving Shang Jing soon. I don't have the time to take care of her."
"Your brother-in-law and sister are in danger. You're leaving at this time?" Xiao Yuanshan's eyebrows instantly raised as if he would slap her at any time.
"Ever since brother-in-law went to prison, I've stayed here long enough. I've done my best." Zi said unconcernedly. She wasn't worried about Xiao Yuanshan at all. After all, there was an omnipotent master beside her. He wouldn't see her being bullied. "I heard that an ice silkworm appeared in Jiangnan. If I miss such a rare divine creature, I'm afraid I won't be able to find it again in my lifetime."
"So what if your Xingxiu Sect's unpresentable poison attacks are? When the time comes, Feng 'er and I will teach you one or two ultimate techniques. Wouldn't that be a hundred times better than Xingxiu Sect?" After being together for so long, Xiao Yuanshan knew that Zi stole Ding Chunqiu's Divine Wood King Cauldron and was cultivating poison attacks. The ice silkworm was the best cauldron. Thus, he didn't doubt her words.
"If your martial arts were useful, you wouldn't have been beaten to this state." Zi curled her lips and said with a face full of disdain.
Xiao Yuanshan almost choked to death. He thought to himself, Do you know how many imperial experts surrounded me today? If it was someone with slightly weaker martial arts, they would have been hacked to death long ago. How could they have survived like me?
However, he couldn't bring himself to argue with a little girl. His old face flushed red. Fortunately, Azhu who was at the side helped him out: "Uncle, don't force her. She has her own things to do. I don't need her to take care of me now." Actually, she had also faintly guessed that her sister's departure was just a pretense. Unfortunately, she couldn't and didn't dare to tell Xiao Yuanshan.
"Hmph!" Xiao Yuanshan snorted coldly and left with a stomach full of anger. Song Qingshu quietly followed behind him. Seeing him climb over the city wall under the cover of the night and head towards the mountains in the suburbs, he knew that he was indeed looking for a place to heal.
"With his injuries, he won't be able to recover without at least half a month. This period of time is enough." Song Qingshu secretly nodded. After confirming that he wouldn't do anything bad again, he turned around and returned to the Southern Courtyard's King's Mansion.
