Chapter 82: He has a backer
Su Yun woke up and felt the pain in his body disappear. He quickly got up and heard Chi Long Xiao Yao's soft voice beside him: "Junior Brother Yun, I washed your clothes and used magic to dry them. They are now by the cauldron."
Su Yun looked around and saw Chi Long Xiao Yao hiding behind a pillar, too shy to see him dress.
Su Yun quickly put on his clothes and tidied himself up. Chi Long Xiao Yao walked out from behind the bronze pillar, transformed into a girl in a white dress with bangs, long hair, and silver dragon scales on her dress. She wore white socks on her feet.
It was warm here, so she didn't wear much.
"This is a pig bristle brush with medicine I made from bamboo salt. Use it to brush your teeth and rinse your mouth."
Chi Long Xiao Yao handed him a brush and a porcelain cup and said, "Master has prepared breakfast at the herb shop. After washing up, let's go eat breakfast."
Su Yun was already starving and nodded. He used the pig bristle brush to brush his teeth and felt refreshed. He said happily, "This is good. Sister, can you give me some more?"
Chi Long Xiao Yao was very happy and put on her shoes. She said, "I made a lot, so if you like it, I'll give you a small jar."
Su Yun thanked her, and the two of them walked out. They soon arrived at the herb shop, where Dong Yishi had already taken down the door and turned it into a table with some soy milk and buns.
Dong Yishi saw them and waved. Su Yun and Chi Long Xiao Yao sat down.
"You gave all your money to someone else, so you must not have any money on you. After you eat, go find your partner and ask for some money to pay for the medicine."
Dong Yishi thought for a moment and said, "Also, I already paid for breakfast this morning, so consider it my treat."
Su Yun agreed and said, "My second brother still has some money."
Dong Yishi said to Chi Long Xiao Yao, "Follow him back to the academy and collect the money."
Chi Long Xiao Yao hesitated and said, "Junior Yun is also a scholar at the academy, and he got first place, which is good for the academy's reputation..."
Dong Yishi said, "We must charge for treating people. If people see you not charging, they will ask you to treat them for free, and then they will ask other doctors to do the same. Otherwise, they will insult them morally. Over time, no one will study medicine, and there will be no one to treat the sick. The first rule of studying medicine is not to try to be a saint. Saints only cause trouble and turn good people into villains."
Chi Long Xiao Yao agreed.
Su Yun also seemed to be deep in thought.
"Also, the life force power you used to enhance yourself with the Ji Hui last night was very strange and different from ordinary Ji Hui."
Dong Yishi narrowed his eyes and asked, "Where did you get it?"
Su Yun didn't hide anything and said, "It was on the body of the Ji Hui monster. It should have been transformed from the Ji Hui monster's flesh and blood."
"Ji Hui monster?"
Dong Yishi got excited, and his small eyes opened wide, sharp as a knife. "If you can bring me a live Ji Hui monster, I'll cover all your injuries in the future, and I won't charge you a penny! If you can bring me two, I'll even pay you!"
Su Yun also couldn't help getting excited. "Great! It's a deal!"
Dong Yishi wiped his mouth, stood up, and said, "Also, last night, you agreed to kill someone in front of the academy's gate in two months. Don't forget about it. The people in my nearby villages and towns all know about it. When I went to buy food just now, they mentioned that they want to come and watch."
Su Yun's heart trembled. "Please tell them, Master, that I will not break my promise! If I said I would kill him in two months, then I will kill him in two months! Even if it's one day, one hour, or one second late, I'll consider it a loss! "Doctor Dong smirked, "Don't talk big. She was also the first in the entrance exam, and she entered two years before you and had already become a spiritualist."
Su Yun stopped talking and ate his buns and drank soy milk, feeling full of the desire to beat Lin Qingsheng.
After finishing breakfast, he and Chi Xiaoyao walked out of the Xinglin Medicinal Shop and wandered around the alleys in the lower part of Shuofang City.
The lower part of Shuofang was complicated in geography, with many alleys. Fortunately, Su Yun was good at memorizing and would not forget any place he had been to, even the Tianmen Ghost Market.
It was the first time he had been to the lower part of Shuofang, and he couldn't help looking around. Although the streets here were not as prosperous as the upper world, they had a strong and simple life breath.
On a cold winter morning, there were many early-risers in the corners and alleys of the lower part of Shuofang, setting up various small stalls selling pancakes, fried dough sticks, spicy soup, soy milk, and other things, emitting steam.
These small stalls tried to avoid the streets and were hidden under the eaves of buildings. The streets were much cleaner, and people came to clean the streets before dawn.
Occasionally, one or two cars would pass through the lower world of Shuofang, usually driven by elderly Negativeshanshou, and the wooden buildings on their backs were also dilapidated. The coachmen who drove the cars were often dressed in tattered clothes.
Chi Xiaoyao led Su Yun through the eaves of each building, and there were several ash lamps on the street that had not been extinguished. However, the ash in the lamps had burned almost out, and there was not much light.
"What's your name, senior sister?" Su Yun asked while holding a small medicine jar containing toothpaste, following the girl in a white dress.
"I forgot to tell you. My name is Chi Xiaoyao. I entered the Wenchang Academy a few years before you and am your senior sister."
Chi Xiaoyao walked lightly, and her skirt fluttered behind her. She turned around and smiled, "I am a spiritualist who studies medicine and am three years older than you. Doctor Dong's name is Xinglin. Others call him Mr. Xinglin. He is actually a very good person and not stingy at all."
This girl was bright and sunny, and Su Yun couldn't help but smile a little more. The young man said, "Mr. Xinglin is naturally not stingy. If he wanted to get rich, he would have been as rich as a country."
At this time, a car stopped beside them, and the girl in red inside laughed, "So it's Senior Brother Su Yun and a beautiful senior sister. Are you going to the Wenchang Academy? I'm also going there, so it's on the way."
Su Yun's heart jumped, and he didn't really want to get on the car, but Chi Xiaoyao had already climbed up and said with a smile, "Little brother, come up and hitch a ride!"
Su Yun had no choice but to get on the car with Chi Xiaoyao and go to the second floor.
Chi Xiaoyao sat down and looked at the girl in red opposite her, exclaiming, "Sister, you're so beautiful! Little Brother Su Yun, where did you meet such a beautiful junior sister?"
Su Yun snorted and sat next to her, pushing her inside and squeezing Chi Xiaoyao.
Chi Xiaoyao pouted in grievance.
Su Yun looked at the girl in red opposite him and said indifferently, "Are you healed? You recovered quickly. I thought you would die outside during the entrance exam."
"You too."
The girl in red chuckled, "I thought Senior Brother would be mistaken for a demon and be beaten to death in public. According to reason, you should have been beaten to death last night, but I didn't expect you to be alive and well, and you even had a beautiful sister with you. Where did you pick her up?"
Su Yun said coldly, "Thanks to Wu Tong's concern, I have a powerful background and strong support. I won't die."The red-clothed girl was Wu Tong, a scholar. Upon hearing this, her heart trembled. She turned her gaze towards Chi Xiaoyao, her eyes shining with a strange light as she asked, "Brother Su, aren't you going to introduce us?"
Chi Xiaoyao blinked her eyes curiously, sizing them up before asking in a soft voice, "My name is Chi Xiaoyao. Brother, who is she?"
Su Yun smiled and said, "Wu Tong, the woman who ranked second in the imperial examination, and my defeated subordinate. I almost killed her, but unfortunately..."
He snorted with dissatisfaction.
Wu Tong's eyes were brimming with tears, and Chi Xiaoyao couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
This girl named Wu Tong seemed to have a unique charm, even causing her, a transformed fish dragon, to feel emotional fluctuations along with her.
However, Su Yun was not affected at all, and said calmly, "Wu Tong, it seems that you still haven't changed your habit of calling me 'Brother Su' that you learned from the team leader. In Shuofang, we don't call each other that, we call each other 'Shi-ge.' If you call me 'Brother Su' again, be careful of being recognized."
Wu Tong became happy again and asked, "Shi-ge cares about me?"
Su Yun shook his head and said, "It's not that I care about you. If you die, you will harm others and cause more deaths. It's easier to deal with you when you're alive. So in that sense, I still hope you stay alive."
Just as Wu Tong was about to speak, Su Yun had already spoken his mind, saying indifferently, "I could kill you in the Ten Embroidered Pictures, and I can still kill you outside. Plus, I'm still young and learn quickly, you can only follow behind me."
Wu Tong smiled and asked, "What else?"
Su Yun said sternly, "Also, you went to study at the Wen Chang Academy, which is close to me. I can kill you anytime, anywhere."
Wu Tong's smile became even brighter as she said, "Do you know what I was doing last night?"
Su Yun shook his head, and at that moment, footsteps could be heard coming up the stairs. A black-clothed man walked into the second floor of the small building and looked deeply at Su Yun.
Su Yun's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed, "Jiao Shu'Ao!"
His heart was pounding fiercely. Jiao Shu'Ao was the man who could eat the whole village!
"I raided Shuofang's prison while the government was busy and freed all the prisoners."
Wu Tong chuckled and said, "And then you rescued him. Scholar Su Yun, it wouldn't be difficult for me to kill you on this carriage with Jiao Shu'Ao protecting me, would it?"
Suddenly, Chi Xiaoyao, who had been fascinated by Wu Tong's beauty, let out a low growl, transformed into a silver-white Chi dragon, and filled the carriage behind Su Yun with her body.
The Chi dragon's claws gripped the window, her killing intent soaring as a bow and arrow appeared above her head. The arrow was already on the string as she coldly said, "Are you a snake-turned-Jiao?"
Jiao Shu'Ao was also stimulated by her blood and involuntarily transformed into his original form, a poisonous Jiao, filling the carriage behind Wu Tong. A sword appeared in his mouth as he said in a low voice, "Are you a fish-turned-dragon? Are you also from the Celestial Market Wall?"
Both of them were not pure-blooded dragons, but had cultivated into dragon and Jiao forms respectively. However, their blood was extremely strong, and they were equally matched, unwilling to fall behind each other.
"Scholar Su Yun really has extraordinary means."
Wu Tong became even more wary of him and praised him sincerely, "I brought a poisonous Jiao, but I didn't expect that you would also bring a Chi dragon to protect you. Your scheming is deeper than a human demon, and you're even better than the team leader! I'm a little scared of you now."
Su Yun smiled faintly, looking mysterious and unfathomable. However, he was secretly afraid, thinking to himself, "If it weren't for Senior Sister Xiaoyao accompanying me to get the money, I would probably be in trouble..."Jiao Shu'Ao's strength was too strong. Ordinary spiritual practitioners were not his opponents at all. Even the masters of the major academies would find it difficult to last a few moves against him!
Fortunately, Chi Xiaoyao, who was also a dragon clan member, could suppress him.
"But if he really makes a move, Senior Sister Xiaoyao might not be his opponent..."
He smiled, silently thinking to himself, "If the human and demon really start fighting, both Senior Sister and I will die here."
Wutong couldn't determine his depth, as Su Yun had shocked her too much.
Like the current situation, where the dragon and the dragon turtle were confronting each other. Or like last night, when Su Yun had even broken through the suppression of the Ten Splendid Picture with his cultivation at the Spirit realm, and used a shocking sword technique to severely injure her!
That one sword still gave her lingering fear.
What made her feel even more unfathomable was that after Su Yun won first place in the examination, no one suspected him of being a human demon!
How big was his background and support?
What she feared the most was the dramatic change in Tianmen Town seven years ago. At that time, she was a neighbor of Tianmen Town and witnessed its destruction.
However, Su Yun survived.
And when he arrived in Shuofang City, there were people covering him!
What kind of terrible and terrifying support did Su Yun have?
Zhaizhu: New Year's Eve, let's get rid of the old and welcome the new, and may every year be peaceful. May the country prosper and the people be rich, and the country be safe and the people secure!!!
