Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 588: The Venerable was very kind to me

Views:

After the dust settled, Zhao Changhe and Xia Chichi began to heal their wounds.

Sanniang was right to scold them. Both of them were badly injured, but they still had the time to watch other people's family ethics dramas and read old books. I don't know where they got the leisure time from. It turns out that eating melons is human instinct and is much more important than healing wounds.

Zhao Changhe paid a heavy price for eating this melon.

Because the Blood Shura Body combined with the recovery ability of the Blood Demon Immortal Body, Zhao Changhe was now afraid of injuries to his soul, and perhaps internal injuries, but not external injuries. Being crushed by the Sea Emperor, his bones and muscles were broken, and no matter how miserable he looked, it was still an external injury. He had been healing and setting his bones by himself, thinking that he was very awesome and it didn't matter.

But he forgot that the wound was scabby and the blood had dried, so the clothes were stuck to the wound. Trying to tear them off would be like torture, and it was horrible.

Zhao Changhe howled miserably and tore off his clothes. Tears were almost coming out of his eyes. The pain was worse than if his bones were broken.

Xia Chichi was even more miserable over there. Zhao Changhe was eating melons and at least he got a dowry, but Xia Chichi really didn't know what she was doing. The sequelae of being injured by Wang Daoning now surged upon her. Xia Chichi's eyes were wide open and she fainted.

Sanniang, who was paying respect to the grave, looked straight ahead and said, "I don't recognize that she can be the leader."

Zhao Changhe moved over with his cheek twitching, and held Xia Chichi in his right arm. He carefully turned his head to look at Sanniang, and seeing that Sanniang still had her back to him, he quickly lowered his head and kissed her, and fed Xia Chichi a pill.

The medicines he brought with him had been used up on the deserted island long ago. The medicines now were from the dowry given by Hai Pinglan. Zhao Changhe had decent medical skills and could quickly identify the uses of various medicines and gave them directly to Chi Chi.

And he used it right next to Sanniang. Isn't this a kind of... Fortunately, Sanniang had her back to him and couldn't see...

However, he forgot that under normal circumstances, the triple secret treasure cannot be seen behind him, but if he deliberately expands his five senses, he can actually have the same effect as his bird's-eye view, which is not much worse than his cheating.

Sanniang looked expressionlessly at Zhao Changhe taking her dowry and lowering his head to kiss Chi Chi's mouth, her fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound: "Can't you feed me with your hands?"

"Ah?" Zhao Changhe was shocked: "You can actually see..."

"Is this a question of whether I can see or not! I asked you why you didn't feed me with your hands!"

“… I’m hugging someone with my right hand, and my left hand is broken and I can’t move it.”

Sanniang: “…”

The reasons were too sufficient, and Sanniang didn't know how to get angry for a moment, and her head was almost smoking with anger.

If Zhuque were here, I wonder if you would dare to kiss Chi Chi in person. Or am I just too cowardly... Sanniang held it in for a long time before finally saying, "Don't kiss me with the same mouth you kissed her with. Do you really think I have no temper..."

“Hmm…” Xia Chichi woke up.

Sanniang immediately shut her mouth.

Xia Chichi didn't know what the two were arguing about. She vaguely heard the last few words, as if the Venerable was angry. She sorted out the situation and guessed that it was because Changhe was hugging her that the Venerables were dissatisfied again.

Xia Chichi smiled apologetically: "Your Excellency..."

Sanniang looked up at the sky: "How is the injury?"

Xia Chichi looked inward for a moment and said, "The effect of Changhe's medicine has improved a lot..."

Sanniang clenched her fists, is that Changhe's medicine

"Well, now that you feel much better, why don't you get up from this man?" Sanniang turned her head suddenly and said sternly, "Is this how Suzaku taught you? As a saint, you lie in the arms of a stranger?"

Zhao Changhe covered his face and remained silent, while Xia Chichi wanted to cry but had no tears.

I have always known that Master Xuanwu is a casual person, and he rarely interferes in matters of the sect. I thought he was easy to talk to, but why is he so fierce when it comes to me... Is this lousy rule that the saint cannot have love affairs really that important

She could only try to say, "Changhe is no longer an outsider. The Venerable Master personally accepted him into the sect. He is the Fire Pig who is directly under the Venerable Master."

Sanniang choked for a moment and said angrily, "How can a saint be eaten by a pig? There is no need to talk about the difference between superiors and subordinates!"

Zhao Changhe: “…”

You are right. The Fire Pig can only bite the Venerable, and it needs to use all its strength, right

Xia Chi Chi regained his courage, propped himself up and sat up from Zhao Changhe's arms, saying seriously: "Your Excellency should not humiliate your own people."

Sanniang: “…” The two of them stared at each other, and Zhao Changhe finally raised his hand to smooth things over: “That…”

Sanniang crossed her arms and glanced at him: "Do you have the right to speak?"

Zhao Changhe sighed: "I want to ask, what does it take for a saint to become the leader? As one of the twenty-eight constellations, I should be qualified to know the major events of the sect, right?"

"…" Sanniang hesitated for a long time, and could only say: "In the original concept, only those who possess all four symbols can be called the leader."

Zhao Changhe said, "Isn't this a joke? If he possesses all four elements, can he still be called the leader? How about calling him Night Emperor? Night Emperor is a god, and the leader is just the spokesperson of God. Does that mean the leader has to be like God?"

“So it’s just the original concept, passed down many generations ago.”

"No wonder the Four Symbols Sect was so useless before. The thresholds they set for themselves are castles in the air that can never be reached. Can't they be more realistic?"

Sanniang said expressionlessly: "Are you here to consult the textbook, or to give me advice?"

Zhao Changhe smiled apologetically: "So this generation's venerable is still wise and powerful..."

Sanniang suddenly felt that this stinky pig pretended to be a subordinate and behaved obediently in front of outsiders. She could teach him whatever she wanted and he had to smile at her. It seemed to be quite satisfying...

Looking at the stupid and clear eyes of a certain outsider, Sanniang felt inexplicably better because of her father's death and the dull bull in front of her. She said leisurely: "But since you can be the leader, you must have abilities that surpass the four venerables and be able to do what we can't, so that you can be recognized. Even if we don't talk about doctrine, it is necessary to do so just to convince the public. It is unrealistic to have all four, so at least you have to have two, right?"

Zhao Changhe and Xia Chichi both nodded: "Sure."

"We are ecstatic that Chi Chi is both Azure Dragon and White Tiger, but she has only a superficial understanding of them and is only worthy of being a Saint temporarily. If you want to be a leader, you must have an understanding of at least one of the systems equal to mine and Suzaku's. Is that too much to ask?"

Xia Chichi said honestly: "It should be."

Sanniang asked, "Have you achieved it before?"

Xia Chichi said: "No."

"Why does Zhuque attach so much importance to this voyage? Why did I travel thousands of miles from the outer reaches of the Great Wall? I am not here to find my father, but to find you." Sanniang sighed and said, "We hope that you can make enough breakthroughs in this opportunity, and even surpass us... We have been looking forward to a leader for a long time. Chi Chi, please don't let us down."

Xia Chichi said carefully: "If I become the leader, does that mean I won't ban marriage? I don't think the doctrine says that the leader should do such and such."

Sanniang choked for a moment and angrily asked, "Is that what you did?"

Xia Chichi shrank his head.

It wasn't originally about this, the problem is that I'm always controlled by you two fierce women on this matter, and everyone has the tendency to rebel. Now it's really about this.

Sanniang said angrily, "We'll talk about it when you are really qualified to be the leader. When the time comes, if you have the ability to subdue everyone, I will have to kneel before you. Even if you write whatever the leader wants in the doctrine, no one will dare to say no!"

Then he angrily walked away, "This place is the origin of the birth and gathering of the Azure Dragon's will. You must comprehend it carefully and not be distracted! That fire pig, come with me!"

The Venerable was angry, but Xia Chichi felt at ease.

She watched Shihuozhu helplessly follow the Venerable to the woods to be scolded, and secretly clenched her fists. Don't worry, Changhe, I have already felt the meaning of bathing here. It won't be long before I meet the requirements. Then I will marry you in a grand manner and rescue you from the clutches of these vicious women!

It must be said that this place is a real holy land. Apart from other things, the green dragon spirit of the resurrection of plants and trees alone has cured her internal injuries that originally required a long rest in just a short period of time. Regardless of other aspects, Xia Chichi felt that Zhao Changhe's rejuvenation technique had the potential to be fully developed here.

She also knew the Rejuvenation Secret, which she had obtained from the abstract essence that Zhao Changhe had copied to Sanniang. She was the only one in the entire Four Symbols Sect who could comprehend something, and that was the Azure Dragon Saint's extravagance. Xia Chichi closed her eyes and decided to start with the direction of the rejuvenation of plants and trees, and gradually perceive the comprehensive laws of the Azure Dragon. She was very confident that she would gain a lot this time.

Even though the Venerable curses at me, he is still very good to me in his heart... He truly hopes wholeheartedly for my own improvement, and I should not let him down.

Grove.

Zhao Changhe was grabbed by the collar and pressed against a tree. The venerable who was very kind to the saint girl grabbed and shook him viciously: "I protected her safety, taught her the skills, hoped for her improvement, and supported her to become the leader. In the end, she asked me as a matter of course why I was with my man, and I couldn't refute her. Can I beat this little bitch to death? I'm so angry!"

Zhao Changhe couldn't tell who was more miserable, and he would rather fight with the Sea King, which seemed to be easier...
