Jin looked at her puzzledly as she explained to him
"I went to this meeting alone to get every information about people who were cursed by hook or crook from him. Instead, he surprised me by giving all the written information on the cursed people and the cure he used on them from psychological to physical every possible cure he tried on them".
"That detailed?" Jin raised his eyebrows in doubt and suspicion
And sighed saying "the most ridiculous thing is, what he gave me is a quarter of what he found, there is much more to this we don't know, he asked me to visit him again after I finished reading them"
Jin Flared up "what...why should you meet him?!!"
"Relax honey, next time you are going to come with me"
"Really?!" Jin narrowed his eyes at her
"I don't want to get smacked again" also he said to bring someone along so it's okay, she intentionally left the last part not saying, Jin rubbed her head roughly messing up her hair
"let's go, we need to discuss before deciding anything"
In Ye Qiran's study,
Yang was pacing here and there making Ran dizzy, she snapped "just sit down why are you so nervous for Yan"
"How can you stay so calm when Sister Yanyan is getting punished, Jin ge looked very angry at that moment what if she cries from the punishment?!"
Ran looked at her brother disgustingly saying "even if sky breaks into two, he won't make her cry, his love for her is tougher than you think"
Yang halted in his steps and turned to his sister raising an eyebrow "didn't you have a crush on him at first? now you are okay with it"
Ran squinted her eyes in frustration at his brother "didn't I also leave him later when I realized that jerk had his eyes only for my best friend"
Yang was about to retort when they heard Yan's voice coming from the entrance "you can take him back the offer still stands" aggrieved
Ran (-_-) "no thanks"
Jin warned her before Yan can say anything "my offer of executing you is also on standby"
Yan stomped her feet and went to sit beside Ran, while Jin and Yang sat in the side chairs, Ran seeing her best friend aggrieved, immediately thought Jin must have punished her hard this time, thinking that she softly patted her head nodding at her
Jin grunted loudly when he saw Ye Qiran patting Yan on the head, she flared at this lemon tree
"What?! she is my best friend"
"Before that, she is my girlfriend"
they both hissed at each other, Yang made himself comfortable to watch their banter, while Yan took out the contents from the storage ring Zong Shen gave her, after she settled everything on the table, she turned towards them
her best friend and her beloved are in an angry staring contest while Yang became referee from the side while subtly adding oil to their arguments Yan's face twitched at this she huffed loudly
"Stop before I get angry at you all and throw you out!!!"
three froze and changed their posture facing Yan, ran halted in her action when she noticed something was amiss, she said to Yan
"Yan this is my place"
"So? does it matter" Yan answered thick face
Ran pursed her lips and remembered this is my best friend and an idiot, one should not kill an idiot chanting internally Ran cooled herself
they started reading the documents they got and soon engaged in a heated discussion.
At Lu Man man's manor
Zhao Chengjun woke up to the unfamiliar ceiling he lay there without making any moment then he heard a soft voice speaking to him
"So, you woke up?"
Chengjun turned in the direction of that voice a small smile etched on his face,
"So, you came for me ah"
Xiǎo Shé tilted her head and questioned him instead of answering "why did you seek death in front of your master"
Chengjun laughed a little weakly and said "I want to be strong like him"
"Why?"
Chengjun tried to turn to her side with much difficulty he patted the place beside her "I am too weak right now" gesturing her to sit beside him
Xiǎo Shé squinted her eyes in doubt but looking at his pale face she obliged and sat beside him, facing him
Chengjun smiled until his eyes disappeared when he saw her face up close, this time she is not in her dirty clothes but in a neat blue dress with a clear chubby face, looking at her he said
"Until now I have never seen anyone as strong as him" Chengjun gave his reason still smiling
Xiǎo Shé blushed at his smile he looked so cute as expected like master like disciple face-fetish,
"But he didn't agree to take you as his disciple"
Chengjun nodded his head weakly "one should strive themselves to achieve their goal dear"
"So, you are going to ask him again?" Xiǎo Shé asked him curiously
Chengjun wanted to touch her puffy cheeks but he is too weak to lift a finger so just replied
"There is no way he will accept me as his disciple"
Xiǎo Shé slid and laid beside him as she became sleepy while lying along with Chengjun she whispered "then?"
"I just have to make him accept" saying he placed the blanket on Xiǎo Shé who is now sleeping, she drained her energy since transforming and staying in human form took her a lot of energy, but she doesn't want to show her snake form to Chengjun
