Qin Sheng and Li Ang followed Jian Jian and walked all the way to Sikong Jue's small manor. They saw the little boy lying in Shen Tong's arms, kissing Shen Tong's cheek, while Sikong Jue's face was black with anger!
Sikong Jue reached out and grabbed the little boy's collar. "Why are you here again?"
Shen Tong hugged the little boy and pushed Sikong Jue's hand away. "You're not allowed to hurt him! He's my friend!"
Sikong Jue was almost rendered speechless. "You're not allowed to let him kiss you!"
He shouted angrily. He couldn't be bothered to explain himself to Shen Tong. He knew that she wouldn't listen to him even if he explained himself. The little boy was taking advantage of her!
Shen Tong glared at the man. "Brother Jue, you're being unreasonable. You're jealous of a little boy. I'm ignoring you!"
Jian Jian was so nice. He even gave her flowers. This was the first time she had received flowers from a boy, even though the boy was a little too small!
She picked up Jian Jian and brought him to the garden to play.
Li Ang raised his eyebrows. This little thing was definitely a scourge. Wherever he went, he would create a mess!
"What kind of place is this? I couldn't even find it!"
Li Ang complained. If it was not for the little thing knowing the way, he would have lost the use of his legs from walking up such a big mountain.
"What kind of place is this? This place is so nice. It's suitable for Tong Tong to recuperate. How did you find it?" Sikong Jue was a little surprised. He deliberately lived in the most hidden place so that no one could find the way.
Li Ang pointed at Jian Jian. "He knows the way!"
It was a miracle that Jian Jian knew the way.
Sikong Jue was surprised. "How did you know the way?"
Jian Jian blinked and took out a purple bead from the flowers he'd given to Shen Tong. "I followed this flower. The last time I was here, there was this kind of flower on the path."
The purple bead was a kind of herb. There were strings of small purple particles hanging on the grass. It was easy to find them in the green grass, but most people wouldn't notice the purple beads.
Everyone was surprised, including Sikong Jue. No one knew that he had planted the weeds on purpose, and it was planted according to the season.
No matter what season it was, there would be signs of herbs on the path, so that even he wouldn't get lost. He needed to highlight the path for himself, just in case.
But how did this little boy notice them? No one would notice the herbs, surely?
His gaze landed on the little boy's face.
Qin Sheng pursed her lips. Genes were clearly at work here... Jian Jian was probably sensitive to herbs, like his father.
She caressed Jian Jian's head. "Jian Jian is amazing. He's even better than Mommy and Li Ang."
She looked up at Sikong Jue. "I brought Jian Jian here. You said you had a way to cure him. How do you want to treat him?"
Sikong Jue's brows were furrowed. It was undeniable that this kid had the potential to be a great pharmacist. Did he really want to save him?
He looked down at the little boy. "Do you know that you have a heart condition?"
Jian Jian's two small hands were in the pockets of his dungarees. "Bad man, do you think I'm a kid? Of course I know that I have a heart condition. I also know that I won't live to be eighteen..."
The little boy spoke loudly, and it shocked everyone.
So this little thing knew all along, but he didn't say it!
At that moment, the little boy was more like a sensible *****.
"I can help you live past eighteen, but it will be very hard. Do you dare to bear it?" Sikong Jue asked.
Jian Jian nodded. "I dare! I have so many girlfriends. I want to marry them when I grow up!"
"So, you are willing..."
Sikong Jue frowned as he spoke. How many women was this kid planning to marry?
Could this little boy really handle it though? Would his heart be able to cope?
"It will be very hard work! You need to be prepared for it. Are you truly willing?" Sikong Jue's eyes narrowed on the little boy's face.
Jian Jian's eyes flashed with a cunning light. "Bad man, don't worry. I swear on my father's life that if I can't do it, I'll let him die!"
Qin Sheng's mind went blank. She couldn't help but look at Sikong Jue with sympathy. If only he knew the truth...
A sincere person couldn't commit evil. But it seemed as though Sikong Jue had just been cursed to death by his son...
Sikong Jue felt a chill on his back. Was it windy?
Strange, there was no wind!
"Alright, he can stay," he said, ignoring the shiver.
"How are you going to treat him? Can you tell me?" Qin Sheng asked. She still had to explain things to Chu Xia when she went back!
"You won't understand even if I tell you. You come up the mountain to see him once a year. Forget about the rest of the time!" Sikong Jue said.
The training was cruel. It was something he experienced when he was young. He didn't even dare to recall it himself. How could he let Qin Sheng see it...
"That won't do. We can only see each other once a year? Seriously? Can't we see each other once a week?" Qin Sheng asked.
Sikong Jue felt that the women's thoughts were going in the opposite direction. "I said once a year. Don't you understand?"
"But, I will miss him and worry about him. Sikong Jue, can't I see him more than once a year?" Qin Sheng asked.
She grabbed Li Ang who was beside her. She wanted Li Ang to speak up for her. They were good brothers, after all.
Li Ang patted the back of the little woman's hand in a comforting manner. "Wait here for a while. I will talk to Sikong Jue."
He gave Sikong Jue a look.
Sikong Jue followed Li Ang out of the room.
Li Ang and Sikong Jue sat on he rattan chairs in the other room and began to speak.
"I'll build a private pharmacy for you in the city. You can live there with Shen Tong and Jian Jian. You've been cooped up in the mountains for so long. It's time for you to venture back into the world."
Sikong Jue was stunned. "Why are you in such a hurry to see me leave this place? I'm not leaving. Shen Tong is recovering well here. We can retire here."
He only wanted to stay here and quietly fulfill his promise to his master.
"Anyway, who are the parents of that little boy?" He thought of this question.
"God knows whose child it is. I heard it belongs to a friend of Chu Xia. Treat him well. Maybe if he's cured, Chu Xia will be moved and forgive you." Li Ang looked at Sikong Jue.
"Forgive me for what? I don't owe her anything. It's her who didn't want money! She deserves to be stupid!" Sikong Jue cursed as he touched his belt buckle.
He had been carrying that emerald belt with him the whole time. He secretly missed the stupid woman...
"Stupid? I don't think she's stupid. She's much more beautiful now than before. She's so sexy and voluptuous. She's really something!" Li Ang said as he smacked his lips.
Sikong Jue kicked the man opposite him. "F*ck! I'll gouge your eyes out if you look at her again!"
He was angered by Li Ang's words, more so than he thought he would be. Had Li Ang seen Chu Xia naked or something?
"Hey, I'm not looking at your woman! What are you making a fuss about? Ming Tai should be making a fuss. Chu Xia is Ming Tai's girlfriend now. The two of them are already living together!" Li Ang said.
Sikong Jue's lips twitched uncontrollably, as if someone had poked his lungs. "I'm going to my private pharmacy! I'll leave the mountain tomorrow!"
Li Ang's lips curled into a devilish smile. This country wasn't going to be peaceful anymore...
