Mute?
Mo Ruo's face was filled with displeasure and helplessness.
He even let out a sigh.
When he saw Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu enter, he unhurriedly said, "He's really disobedient. As soon as he woke up, he asked for water. After I gave him some, he insisted on seeking death. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop him. I had to seal his acupoints and make him stay there obediently." He then grumbled, "I told you, even if this kind of person is saved, he will definitely seek death. See, I was right, wasn't I? Now, my room is filled with the smell of blood, and my bedding that I personally bought from the streets is ruined. Where do you expect me to sleep tonight? Really. "
It was obvious that he was unhappy.
He sat at the table and poured two cups of tea, gulping it down as if he was drinking.
But his complaints didn't get any response!
Jing Rong looked at the person on the bed with a serious expression. He frowned and asked Mo Ruo, "How is his condition?"
"I already said he won't die. Why are you so nervous?"
"Can you get anything out of him?"
"You can, but …" Mo Ruo reminded, "If you unseal his acupoints, he might bite his tongue and commit suicide. He might die before you can even finish asking your questions. Tell me, how can this kind of person not know what's good for him? I worked hard for an entire night to save his life. It's fine if he doesn't appreciate it, but he still wants to die. He's basically trampling on the fruits of my labor. "
Don't you think so?
Jing Rong ignored his complaints. He walked to the bedside and glanced at the person.
Although the person was unable to move and his face was pale, his black eyes were filled with the determination to die.
Suddenly …
Ji Yunshu said, "Let me talk to him alone."
Yes, she didn't use 'interrogate', but 'talk'.
Jing Rong and Mo Ruo were surprised.
"Alone?"
"Yes." She nodded and walked over.
When she lowered her gaze to look at that person, that person also happened to meet her gaze. She couldn't describe the feeling, but she felt that that person's gaze suddenly warmed up, with some excitement and … sadness.
That's right, that's the feeling!
Jing Rong, who was standing to the side, caught every single change in that person's expression. He was originally worried that something might happen if Ji Yunshu was alone with that person, but at this moment, that thought was completely dispelled from his mind.
He raised his hand, put his index finger and middle finger together, and poked the chest of the person on the bed.
The acupoint was unsealed!
Then, he said to Ji Yunshu, "This Prince is outside."
She nodded.
Jing Rong then led the people in the room out.
Mo Ruo was perplexed and turned back to look at Ji Yunshu worriedly. "Teacher Ji doesn't know martial arts!"
Reminder!
"Then let them stay together. Let me tell you, although that person's injuries are very serious, after I treated him, he's already much better. Killing someone who doesn't even have the strength to truss a chicken is a piece of cake."
Compared to his nervousness, Jing Rong appeared much calmer.
He said, "I trust her."
It was better than any explanation.
All of Mo Ruo's misgivings and worries were brushed off.
He could only give up!
However, Tang Si was leaning against the door frame, craning her neck to look inside, her ears perked up.
In the next moment, Jing Rong picked her up like a little chick and threw her into the courtyard.
Inside the room.
That person's acupoint was unsealed, but he didn't seek death.
Ji Yunshu brought a chair over and sat by the bed.
She spoke in a light tone, "Is there anything you want to say to me?"
"…"
"It's fine if you don't want to tell me. If you want to die, I won't stop you. But before that, I have some questions I want to ask you. But first, let me guess who you are."
She was still the same, indifferent and emotionless.
That person didn't say anything, instead, he propped himself up from the bed.
Two pairs of eyes stared straight at each other.
Ji Yunshu could clearly see that person's face. He looked to be about thirty years old, his skin dark and rough, as if he had walked under the sword all year round. His face was covered with many small scars, some from knives, some from swords, and some from scratches. It seemed like … he had received all kinds of training since he was young, which left these scars on his face over the years.
His eyes were filled with unyielding determination and indifference, as if he didn't fear death.
This kind of person didn't look like a death warrior, but more like someone who carried a blood feud.
She retracted her gaze, the corners of her mouth slowly curling up. "I think you're very interested in my topic. Then, I'll get straight to the point."
"…"
"You're not Prince Yi's men, nor are you from the capital. Then, you're probably not from the imperial court. Furthermore, you don't seem like people of the pugilistic world. You're more like … a disciplined, law-abiding organization. Or, in other words, a troop that needs to be tempered under the sword all year round."
Her tone was still as indifferent as before.
That person was slightly taken aback.
"Maybe it's a little far-fetched. Let's talk about something more recent." She pondered for a moment, then asked, "What is it? Why did you, an organization that doesn't belong to the imperial court, have the intention to kill a prince who has nothing to do with you? Moreover, you came with the intention to die. Could it be that someone offered a high price, so you were ordered to kill him? Hmm … that doesn't seem right! Could it be because of some personal grudge? This … I don't think I can figure it out either. "
As she said this, she denied it herself.
"None of them!"
He finally opened his mouth to speak.
Ji Yunshu smiled at him. "I thought you were mute."
"…"
"Since you've spoken, then let's have a chat."
That person didn't speak.
She took it as his tacit agreement.
Thereupon …
Ji Yunshu asked, "Your target is very clear. Whoever dares to stand in front of you, but you didn't kill me. It's really strange. Did your superior specifically emphasize this point? He gave the order to kill Prince Rong! But he couldn't hurt me? Your superior is really a good person, treating me so well. But, who could that person be? "
Liu Qingping?
That was the only person she could think of.
But even if Liu Qingping had a hundred times more courage, he wouldn't dare to do so.
"In this world, this humble one knows very few people. The most I've seen are corpses and bones. So, I really can't think of who that person is. I wonder if you'd be willing to tell me. If there's a chance, I must personally thank him for not killing me. "
Her attitude was very serious, and one could tell that she was very sincere!
