Imperial Treasure-Chapter 1058 - 630: Injuries

Shi Long possesses second-rate martial arts. After transferring his skills to the two of them, they might at least reach third-rate...

That’s enough to deal with the average martial artists.

This is what Seo Ziling and Kou Zhong have in mind.

They don’t want Sui Yi to rescue Wei Zhenzhen on his own.

To be honest, normally, no one can stop them from acting once they’ve made up their minds. After all, they don’t really care about others’ opinions.

But Mr. Sui has this unique aura that makes them unconsciously respect him.

Moreover, he has saved their lives twice.

This fact is particularly important.

However, their efforts seem futile as Sui Yi gave them a glance with an indifferent expression and said nothing.

Kou Zhong couldn’t help but ask another question.

"So will you allow us to go or not?"

"Your lives are your own, and your legs are on your bodies, so whether you go or not is up to you."

"Don’t ask me."

Uh... well, that’s being cold and indifferent again.

Kou Zhong is best at socializing and is quite clever, but he is the worst at dealing with detached people like Sui Yi and Wan Ge. Instinctively, he looked at Seo Ziling.

"Little Lingzi, you’re people of the same kind, you do it!"

"Since Mr. Sui said so, the two of us will set off early tomorrow. As for you, Mr. Sui, you’re injured, so rest for a couple of days. If there’s any news, we’ll send a homing pigeon."

Sui Yi nodded and continued drinking and eating.

Kou Zhong and Seo Ziling were still in their martial arts improvement phase, so they let their stomachs go, but midway, Kou Zhong felt a bit embarrassed.

Truth be told, Sui Yi has a very small appetite, while Kou Zhong and Seo Ziling, being young and full of energy, especially after being severely wounded and finally having enhanced veins and physical prowess, had developed quite the appetite—the large bag of buns and pastries dwindled quickly.

Seo Ziling wasn’t as voracious as Kou Zhong and, upon seeing more than half of the food disappear, stood up and said, "I’m going out to hunt some game."

"I’ll go too."

Just as they were about to get up.

Plop!

A wild deer fell to the ground.

Wan Ge, like an elf in the night, stood at the cave entrance, half-bathed in moonlight, half-immersed in the firelight, with her cloak and hat down—Kou Zhong and Seo Ziling momentarily lost their senses.

But Seo Ziling quickly regained clarity, pinched Kou Zhong, whose face contorted as he returned to his senses, just as Wan Ge cast a cool glance at them both.

Her gaze was like an icy blade.

Damn, that snapped us out of it completely.

"Oh my, it’s a deer! Uh, miss... senior, let us handle this bloody business, Little Lingzi, quick!"

Kou Zhong blushed furiously as he picked up the deer and ran out, while Seo Ziling, sharper than Kou Zhong, nodded slightly to Wan Ge before following Kou Zhong out.

Once outside the cave, Kou Zhong started sharpening his knife, looking for a stream to clean the deer, while Seo Ziling said, "You handle it, I’ll take a walk around nearby and be back soon."

Before Kou Zhong could say anything, he was already gone.

"Hey, that kid."

Kou Zhong didn’t worry about Seo Ziling being in danger around here, even in the dark. They are accustomed to working in the dark, and having only half satiated with the pastries earlier, seeing the plump deer made him ravenous again.

About the time Kou Zhong finished butchering the deer and swiftly cleaned the meat...

Seo Ziling returned.

Bringing several bundles of fresh lotus leaves, within which were wrapped wild fruits and herbs.

"Wow, where’d you find these..."

"Hey, isn’t this..."

"You kid, you’re really considerate."

Kou Zhong gave Seo Ziling a thumbs up, to which Seo Ziling rolled his eyes, "Quit your babbling. You’re good at cooking; you grill it, and I’ll handle these herbs."

"Alright, but Little Lingzi, don’t you think that girl... is really pretty? I’ve never seen anyone as beautiful as her, not even Shong Xiufang, who’s said to be renowned for her dual perfection in art and literature, is as pretty. It’s just she’s too cold, seeing her makes me scared."

"Stop saying things like that. She’s a martial arts master, seems to be an assassin by nature, and saved us. It’s not our place to judge her..."

"Well, it seems she only cares about Mr. Sui, this deer must have been hunted for him. Deer bones nourish, and deer blood and meat invigorate."

"Hmm." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

That Wan Ge would go out to hunt a deer without a word upon noticing Mr. Sui’s poor condition shows genuine care, yet towards outsiders, she is as indifferent as an iceberg. Otherwise, when they were starving earlier, even when Kou Zhong’s stomach growled several times, she paid no attention.

"However, this master girl is both beautiful and powerful. If she’s interested in Mr. Sui, then Sister Zhenzhen might be in trouble." Kou Zhong, rarely, seemed a bit worried.

Seo Ziling instinctively looked toward the cave, where the warmth of the firelight was inviting, and he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

"We might have misunderstood earlier; Mr. Sui and Sister Zhenzhen aren’t what we thought. Remember, Sister Zhenzhen once said Mr. Sui is her lifesaver..."

"No way, I can see Sister Zhenzhen is very fond of Mr. Sui; a woman wouldn’t behave like that towards a man she doesn’t care for..."

While they quietly discussed, inside the cave wasn’t all peaceful either.

"I obtained the Longevity Formula."

Sui Yi took out the Longevity Formula, soaked it in water, and then placed it over the fire to dry...

This method in modern TV is practically a cliché, all belonging to the Chinese bubblegum-style martial arts dramas.

While it roasted over the fire, Sui Yi glanced at Wan Ge, "Your expression is telling me you find our China strange again..."

Wan Ge also glanced at her, "I thought I was usually expressionless, impressive you can see through that."

So far, only the woman Natasha, who has been entangled with her over the years, can see through some of her thoughts. Yet this Sui Yi has been only briefly acquainted and can already do so.

Truly a person of exceptional insight.

No wonder that woman Natasha feels so close to her. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to vote for it on Qidian.com, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
