C12 Dying Phase
At daybreak, Jiang Wanbai opened his eyes and let out a long breath. This body of his was really terrible. It only took him one night to circulate his martial arts once, but the effect was very obvious.
Not only did the hidden injuries on his body heal a lot, but he also felt refreshed. This also caused Jiang Wanbai to almost vomit from the smell in the room.
"A mistake!" Jiang Wanbai covered his nose and ran to the window. He quickly opened the window to get some fresh air.
The old woman, who was sleeping on the side, got up when she heard the noise. She was shocked to see a dark figure and almost shouted for someone. Jiang Wanbai quickly said, "It's me, is there still hot water? I want to take a bath. "
Fortunately, the kitchen was still filled with hot water. Jiang Wanbai took a shower and changed his clothes after the granny brought him hot water. Then, the sky would brighten completely.
While she was bathing, the people in the yard also woke up one after another. They all came with Chi Qingxing, only having a few servants and a dozen guards. When Jiang Wanbai came out of the house, he coincidentally met Qing Zhu with a embroidered box.
Jiang Wanbai's eyes lit up as he guessed what was in the box. She quickly walked towards Qing Zhu. Before she could extend her hand, a slightly hoarse voice came from behind, "Qing Zhu, let's eat first."
Qing Zhu looked at Jiang Wanbai, then looked at her master who was standing at the door of the room. She retracted the hand she just handed out and held the embroidered box in her arms. She looked at Jiang Wanbai seriously and said, "Miss Jiang, I'll give it to you after the meal."
Jiang Wanbai coughed lightly and replied, "Sure."
She would never admit that she had intended to shut herself in her room after receiving the jade.
Although he agreed with her, Wu Tie's gaze was still fixed on the embroidered box in Qing Zhu's arms. As Qing Zhu walked past her, she also turned around and inadvertently glanced at Chi Qingxing, who was walking into the yard.
"Your face …" Jiang Wanbai clicked his tongue and stopped talking.
At this moment, Chi Qingxing's expression was much uglier than yesterday. There was even a faint feeling of defeat, as though he was about to die.
Something must have happened last night, but she had been so immersed in her technique that she had neglected him.
Chi Qingxing also knew that his face was very pale. He had been trapped in the nightmare last night and his body felt like it weighed a thousand pounds.
"It seems like that person knows that I'm not in the capital anymore. He wants me to die in a foreign land." Chi Qingxing smirked. There was no trace of fear or anger on his face. There was only a chill that made people tremble.
Jiang Wanbai blinked and directly said to Qing Zhu, who put away the embroidered box, "Quick, serve your Young Master for a meal."
When they arrived at the table where the dishes were already set up, Jiang Wanbai looked at Chi Qingxing and couldn't help but say, "With me here, I won't let that person succeed."
Chi Qingxing didn't say anything, but he slowed down his pace a little. Looking at Jiang Wanbai who was walking in front, a dark light flashed across Chi Qingxing's eyes, making it hard to tell what he was thinking.
Jiang Wanbai had taken his business to heart, so he didn't say anything else during the meal. He just ate with his head lowered, while Chi Qingxing had a bad appetite. He just drank from a small bowl of porridge and took another bite on a piece of pastry before lightly coughing and waving his hand.
Qing Zhu's entire face was creased into a frown, and her eyes were red. She was so anxious that she was on the verge of crying. "Young master, your body isn't well to begin with. It's better to eat more."
