Chapter 714 - 714 Answer
714 Answer
“If Sindili knows that you can cure me, she will naturally give up.”
Zhou Zhi’s voice was gentle like a feather that brushed past Su Xiaolu’s heart.
“No problem. I agree.”
Su Xiaolu agreed without thinking.
“Then I’ll have to trouble you to visit me more during this period of time.”
Zhou Zhi smiled and concluded this matter before Su Xiaolu could come back to her senses.
“It’s fine. I can help you recuperate during this period of time.”
Su Xiaolu wanted to detoxify the poison in him. Zhou Zhi was still too thin. She could give him acupuncture to make him have a bigger appetite. In that case, she would have to go to the Wisdom King’s Residence often.
“Xiaolu, then I…”
Zhou Zhi wanted to say that he would go back first, but before he could finish speaking, the Su family’s door opened.
Old Wu carried a basket on his back and said angrily to Su Xiaolu, “Girl, pick herbs!”
Su Xiaolu felt that it was a little sudden, but looking at Old Wu’s angry expression, she did not know what was wrong with him.
Zhou Zhi smiled at Su Xiaolu. “Go ahead. I’ll wait for you back at the residence.”
Su Xiaolu looked at Old Wu, who was walking in front without looking back. She nodded and jogged after him.
Gui You came from behind. He glanced at Zhou Zhi and did not speak.
Zhou Zhi nodded slightly at him and respectfully greeted him “Senior”.
Gui Lu walked to Zhou Zhi’s side and stopped. “Don’t pester her. There are thousands of women in the world. Why would the Wisdom King be obsessed with her?”
Zhou Zhi’s eyes darkened. He said in a low and hoarse voice, “There are thousands of women in the world, but none of them are her.”
Only Su Xiaolu was the sun.
“I don’t understand. Why can’t I?”
Zhou Zhi looked at Gui You, his deep eyes occupied by stubbornness. He wanted an answer. Why couldn’t he?
He cared about Su Xiaolu, so he cared about everyone Su Xiaolu cared about. He hoped that they could acknowledge him, and he worked hard to treat everyone well.
But why couldn’t Gui You and Old Wu change their minds?
Gui You looked into the distance and said calmly, “The Great Dao doesn’t allow for it. You will be an obstacle to her.”
After saying this, Gui You did not say anything else. He turned around and left, chasing after Old Wu and Su Xiaolu.
Zhou Zhi stood on the spot and looked up at the sky. There was no joy or sadness on his face. He was such a smart person. Gui You only gave him a few words and he understood everything.
The Great Dao was the heavens.
Obstacle meant death.
No wonder they didn’t agree. If it were him, he wouldn’t either.
Zhou Zhi turned around and left without any joy on his face.
Old Wu walked in front angrily. Thinking of Zhou Zhi, he gritted his teeth and mumbled, “Evil”.
Su Xiaolu tilted her head and smiled. “Master, what did you say?”
Old Wu snorted. “Nothing. I was scolding a dog.”
“Oh.”
Su Xiaolu followed Old Wu. Alright, so be it.
Gui You followed them.
The three of them went out of the city to pick herbs. Su Xiaolu already had a lot of herbs in the Space, so she played around most of the way.
There were very few wild fruits in winter, but they were all especially delicious.
After getting a chicken, the three of them surrounded it and roasted it.
After roasting it, Su Xiaolu peeled off the burnt parts and gave Old Wu a big drumstick. She smiled sweetly. “Master, here.”
Old Wu looked at Su Xiaolu and his anger subsided. He was not angry with Su Xiaolu to begin with.
Seeing that Old Wu was in a good mood, Su Xiaolu immediately felt that this burnt roasted chicken was delicious.
Speaking of which, the master and disciple were really easy-going. They liked delicious food, but they did not mind such disgusting food.
Su Xiaolu couldn’t help but smile foolishly.
“What a heartless girl.”
Old Wu took a look and muttered.
“How many more times do you need to detoxify that kid?”
Old Wu asked.
“One more time. I’ll try to resolve it completely after the new year, but it’s a little risky, so I still have to go to Qinghai to try to catch the big Kun.”
Zhou Zhi’s poison had to be cut off completely from the roots. If the remaining poison was not removed, his newly grown legs would be damaged by the poison, and the poison could not be transferred and controlled elsewhere.
“Then after detoxifying him next year, we won’t have to come back every year when we go out. It’s time for you to go out and train well. At that time, we won’t be accompanying you.”
Old Wu said earnestly. In the next few months, he would just have to endure it. When the time came, she would go far away and make more new friends.
Su Xiaolu was puzzled. “Master, why can’t I go with you?”
Old Wu rolled his eyes at her. “Have you ever seen someone bring their parents along when they go out to train? You have to learn to distinguish good from evil and make friends yourself. Apart from the Li Dynasty, there are also the Jin Dynasty, the Yan Dynasty, and many other small countries. For example, Qi Lu, Nan You, and so on. You’ve seen too little. When I was young, I spent more than 20 years on the road.”
Old Wu described the vast world. He hoped that Su Xiaolu would be able to travel far away when the time came.
“The world is so big.”
Su Xiaolu sighed. Old Wu had actually been to so many places. Just listening to him made her excited. She also wanted to go and see all the good and bad of the world herself.
In her previous life, she was too homely and had never been to many beautiful places in her country. Now that she thought about it, she still felt regretful.
She didn’t want to have any more regrets in this life.
“You’re the only one in your family who’s free. Go and see more of the scenery that they can’t see. Only then can you be broad-minded. Don’t be stuck in one place forever.”
Old Wu smiled gently. He wanted Su Xiaolu to be a forthright and unrestrained woman. She could let go of anyone and anything.
He guided Su Xiaolu up bit by bit.
Su Xiaolu nodded and said seriously, “Master, don’t worry. I will definitely cherish this hard-won freedom.”
Her parents could not sever their ties with their children and grandchildren, so it was impossible for them to travel the world. Her eldest brother, a military officer, and her second brother, a scholarly minister, all had families and ties and worries. Her sister was even more so. None of them could travel further away to see the scenery. Only she was free and her wings were gradually growing.
Naturally, she had to fly high and far away.
“That’s better.”
Old Wu was in a good mood.
The three of them returned home at night.
At night, Su Xiaolu sank her consciousness into the Space and watched Mantis Shrimp nibble on the Interface Stone tirelessly. Now, every Interface Stone was bitten by it.
Su Xiaolu couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you take a bite of every one? Can’t you eat one after another? From the looks of it, this isn’t a good habit.”
Mantis Shrimp flipped its stomach and moved its head against Su Xiaolu’s hand. It burped cutely and defended itself in a childish voice, “Xiaolu, this was actually not my intention. It’s all the fault of my family. I’m marking them. After I licked them, the other Guardian Beasts will find it difficult to eat. This is actually the same as you people. Children love to mark their things.”
