Super détecteur de fantômes

Chapitre 68

And... isn't your tone and posture a little... off?!

But……

Shen Zhili looked at the silver note in his hand, his mind racing, before finally putting it away and sighing, "Disciple, what do you want to learn?"

Before Du Yizhi could speak, a figure flashed over and blocked the two of them.

"...Can I learn it too?"

Shen Zhili suddenly turned around. Su Chenche was wearing a white robe he had just changed into. A white jade hair crown neatly tied his hair on top of his head. A long pure white ribbon hung down from each of his shoulders. A brocade belt tied his waist, making him look tall and slender. He was a handsome and elegant gentleman.

The way he looked at her was still the same.

Unconsciously, Shen Zhili breathed a sigh of relief, but then her expression darkened again.

...Has the medicine not yet taken effect?

Du Yizhi seemed quite pleased: "Young Master Twelve Nights? I didn't expect you to be in Rejuvenation Valley as well."

Su Chenche cupped his hands and smiled gently, "I didn't expect this either."

His words were gentle, but for some reason, Shen Zhili felt a strange chill run down her spine.

Du Yizhi said warmly, "I haven't thanked you enough for saving me last time, young master."

Rescuing him? You don't mean Su Chenche kicking him off the stage and then pretending to rescue him, do you...?

Shen Zhili remained silent.

Su Chenche showed no remorse and readily accepted the favor, saying, "It was nothing, just a small favor."

Du Yizhi: "Young Master Twelve Nights also came back to Spring Valley for medical treatment... Valley Master Shen's medical skills are truly well-deserved and admirable."

Su Chenche smiled, "Of course." His tone was matter-of-fact, then he paused slightly, "Young Master Du also wants to learn medicine from Valley Master Shen?"

Du Yizhi nodded.

"But for your master?"

Du Yizhi continued to nod.

“Young Master Du’s filial piety is truly touching, but…” Su Chenche looked at him with clear eyes and said sincerely, “Actually, the best doctor in Huichun Valley is not Valley Master Shen, but someone else… If Young Master Du really wants to learn medicine, he might as well go and find that person, and I’m sure he should be much more relaxed than Valley Master Shen.”

Du Yizhi was puzzled: "Are there such people in the valley?"

Su Chenche nodded: "He is indeed Valley Master Shen's own senior brother."

Du Yizhi looked at Shen Zhili with a questioning gaze.

Shen Zhili hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Su Chenche smiled even more gently and kindly, pointing to a place not far away: "Go straight ahead, the courtyard at the second fork in the road is it."

Du Yizhi thanked Su Chenche and hurried toward the place he had mentioned.

Watching Du Yizhi's departing figure, Shen Zhili sighed, "...Are you sure you're not sending him to his death by telling him to go learn medicine from my senior brother?"

Su Chenche casually put his arm around Shen Zhili's shoulder: "You actually... are looking forward to it too, aren't you?"

Shen Zhili shook her off: "I didn't!"

Su Chenche: "Then why did you nod just now..."

Shen Zhili coughed twice: "...He nodded casually, to be honest..."

...She would never admit that she wanted to see honest people suffer.

Su Chenche smiled gently: "Zhi Li, we are a perfect match."

Who's a good match for you!

Shen Zhili's lips twitched, and she turned her head to change the subject: "Hey, what if he doesn't want to go see my senior brother?"

A sharp glint flashed in Su Chenche's eyes, and his tone unconsciously lowered: "Then his purpose is not to study medicine."

"You're the one who told him to come to me to study medicine?"

A lazy voice rose from afar, growing louder as it approached.

Hua Jiuye looked coldly at Su Chenche, who met her gaze without caring.

Shen Zhili looked up and vaguely saw two intense bolts of lightning shooting past each other between their eyes.

Su Chenche smiled: "So what if it is?"

Hua Jiuye narrowed her eyes: "I heard you're also going to study medicine?"

Su Chenche pointed behind him: "Your disciple is catching up."

Du Yizhi, in the distance, was calling out, "Master... wait for me..."

Hua Jiuye stared straight at Su Chenche and said, word by word, "If you want to learn medicine, then you don't need to trouble your junior sister. I will teach you."

Shen Zhili calmly observed the chaotic scene... she decided to leave first.

Turning the corner into another courtyard for the injured, the sounds of fighting and Du Yizhi's weak and feeble attempts to break up the fight continued to rise behind him.

During a break from healing, Shen Zhili listened to those voices and slightly raised her lips.

"Ah ah..."

The injured man on the bed groaned in pain once again, interrupting Shen Zhili's thoughts.

Seeing the injured man struggling to grab his thigh, Shen Zhili quickly had the medical apprentice hold down his hands and feet, sealed his acupoints with needles, and once again evenly applied the medicinal powder to the wound.

His thigh was poisoned by the evil cult, causing partial ulceration and unbearable itching, but he absolutely could not scratch it, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

After doing all this, Shen Zhili gradually lost all other thoughts.

Those days of playful fighting... wouldn't last long.

******************************************************************************

Night falls.

After taking a bath, Shen Zhili changed into her nightgown and began flipping through a medical book.

The poison of the Demonic Cult is not actually complicated, but it is extremely insidious. Once you are poisoned, there is no time to detoxify... Shen Zhili frowned and thought, how can we prevent poisoning in advance?

The window creaked open.

Shen Zhili turned her head expressionlessly.

The white-clad figure flashed, and the window was slammed shut again.

"Knowing separation..."

Shen Zhili: "Get out."

Su Chenche pointed to the bruises around his eyes, his eyes glistening with tears: "Your senior brother beat me up..." He plopped down on Shen Zhili's bed, "He even insisted on teaching me medicine... It's so hard, Zhili..."

Shen Zhili poked his butt with a medical book: "Get out."

Su Chenche pouted: "No."

Shen Zhili: "I'm going to sleep, get out!"

Su Chenche smiled, his eyes crinkling: "Zhi Li, go to sleep... I'll watch over you and make sure no one with ill intentions comes in."

You're the one with the most sinister intentions, aren't you?

But……

A thought flashed through her mind, and she recalled what Lei Ying had said to her before dinner.

Shen Zhili took back the book, clenched it in her palm, and said, "If you don't want to leave, let's talk about something."

Su Chenche took off his boots and simply sat down opposite Shen Zhili, blinking at her: "Go ahead and say it."

Shen Zhili looked at the two pairs of boots lying side by side on the ground, and after a long while, she asked, "When are you leaving?"

Su Chenche answered without hesitation: "I'm not leaving."

Shen Zhili looked up and met Su Chenche's eyes: "I'm not joking with you... Su Chenche, leave Huichun Valley with Lei Ying."

Su Chenche: "Why?"

Shen Zhili: "Have you forgotten? You are the Twelfth Night Prince, the Twelfth Night Prince who is famous throughout the world..."

The person on the other end suddenly laughed, like a blooming flower, extremely moving: "No... I am now just Su Chenche, Su Chenche who loves you, Su Chenche who would do anything for my Zhili, Su Chenche who belongs only to you."

His smile was so beautiful, so nonchalant, as if nothing else ever mattered to him.

Shen Zhili closed her eyes tightly for a moment and turned her gaze away.

"But... I don't like Su Chenche like this."

She said, "The person I like won't be a coward who hides in a corner, letting his enemies go unpunished and innocent people die tragically without doing anything. Can't you see the wounded? Can't you hear their screams? You..."

Before she could speak, Su Chenche took Shen Zhili's hand, and his burning lips lightly pressed against hers, as light as a feather: "Yes, I can't see them. They are not people I value, so naturally I can't see them. I can only see..."

A loud slap rang out.

The room was silent.

Shen Zhili still held her hand high, and five finger marks slowly appeared on Su Chenche's face.

Slowly withdrawing her hand, Shen Zhili looked at him calmly: "If you're just that kind of person, then don't ever think I'll like you. No matter how sweet your words are, they only disgust me… Su Chenche, each of them has their own parents, siblings, relatives, and friends. Can you understand the sorrow of watching your loved ones die helplessly?" Taking a deep breath, she said, "You're not helpless, you're just unwilling to do it… We're not on the same page, you…"

"Knowing separation."

With his long eyes slightly closed, Su Chenche asked in a low voice, "Do you want me to leave?"

"certainly……"

Su Chenche: "No, that's not what I'm asking..." His voice remained gentle, "If there were no Demonic Sect and no conflicts in the martial world, and I were just Su Chenche, would you let me leave? Or rather, would you be willing to let me leave?"

Looking at Shen Zhili, his amber eyes were calm and still, like the night.

"I want to hear the truth."

Are you willing to give it up?

Shen Zhili felt a pang of pain in her heart.

If Su Chenche leaves like this, who knows how long it will be before he comes back... And the antidote to the Seven Emotions Pill will take effect within half a month, so when he sees him again, will he have already forgotten him?

Forget that love that seemed to have seeped into my very bones.
