Chapter 955: Shameless Brother Jiu
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Senior Brother, where did you go just now?” In the hall, Mu Qing placed the blanket he had carried on the table. As he tidied it, he turned around and said to Mu Ting, whose face was a little pale.
Mu Ting replied distractedly, “I didn’t go anywhere.”
Mu Qing stopped the half-covered blanket and said to him, “You don’t look too good. Are you feeling unwell? I’ll call Doctor Cui to take a look at you!”
“No need. I’m fine.” Mu Ting turned around and found a bench to sit down on.
Mu Qing followed him and walked around to him. Ignoring his dodging, he held his face and said, “That’s not right. I think you have something on.”
“It’s a little tiring after the trip,” Mu Ting said indifferently as he avoided his gaze and removed his hand.
Mu Qing did not suspect anything. He pursed his lips and said, “That’s why I told you to stay in town for a night first. It’s the same if we travel tomorrow morning! There’s no need to be so anxious!”
“Let’s go to the Sorcerer Clan as soon as possible to prevent any trouble,” Mu Ting said with lowered eyes.
Mu Qing still did not notice that something was wrong with Mu Ting. Instead, he took Mu Ting’s casual words to heart. He sat down beside Mu Ting and said helplessly, “But we went to the Sorcerer Clan so early. Is Little Junior Brother really fine? Will he be recognized?”
Mu Ting said, “How can that be? Wasn’t his sorcerer king mark already covered by the tattoo?”
Mu Qing looked around and whispered, “His sorcery power is still there. People will be suspicious about such a small sorcerer, right?”
Mu Ting paused and said, “So, they simply harmed him by unsealing his sorcery power.”
“You can’t say that. They don’t know that there’s a secret to Junior Brother’s strength. Besides, if they don’t let him recover his strength, how can they know if he’s the Sorcerer King? Although he’s not, his father is! It’s not a wasted effort!” As Mu Qing spoke, he was in high spirits. It could be seen that he was happy for Yu Wan and Yan Jiuchao.
Mu Qing was not only Mu Ting’s junior brother, but he was also his cousin. Mu
Ting had watched him grow up, so he knew his personality very well. Although Mu Qing treated his fellow disciples well, because he had been bullied since he was young, Mu Qing actually had a very strong vigilance against strangers. However, this vigilance had turned to ashes in just a few days.
Mu Ting had a complicated expression.
Mu Qing suddenly said, “It’s getting late. Senior Brother, you should rest. It’s time for Little Junior Brother to drink his medicine. I’ll bring him some hot water.”
Mu Ting lowered his eyes and nodded.
Mu Qing went to the kitchen to get a pot of hot water and quickly went to the second floor. He bumped into Zhou Yuyan at the corner. It turned out that Zhou Yuyan was also delivering water and medicine to Zhou Jin. “You came to deliver water to Junior Brother, too, ” Zhou Yuyan said.
“Yes, I didn’t expect you to send it over too.” Mu Qing smiled awkwardly.
“If I had known that you would send it, I wouldn’t have sent it!” Zhou Yuyan curled her lips.
“Huh?” Mu Qing scratched his head and was stunned.
Zhou Yuyan burst into laughter. “I’m just teasing you! Fool! Let’s go! I’m worried about Junior Brother staying with so many outsiders. Let’s go take a look! ”
“Okay!” Mu Qing smiled and agreed. She went to Yan Jiuchao’s room with Zhou Yuyan.
The room was very quiet. Yu Shaoqing sat on a chair at the side and wiped his weapons.
Yan Jiuchao and Zhou Jin sat cross-legged on the bed that they had brought with them. Between the two of them was a small square table. On the small square table were some things that Zhou Yuyan and Mu Qing would never touch.
“It’s your turn,” Yan Jiuchao said.
Zhou Jin picked up the Kongming Lock on the table. The Kongming Lock was made of six wooden bars. It could be pieced together or dismantled. As for how to do it, it depended on everyone’s ability.
This Kongming Lock was put together by Yan Jiuchao. Zhou Jin needed to unlock it.
Zhou Jin opened it seriously.
“One, two, three…” Mu Qing muttered in his heart. After reading three times, his junior brother actually didn’t finish opening it. He couldn’t help but be stunned. He had seen his junior brother play with this kind of lock in the past. No matter who pieced it for him, he would always open it in less than three counts. However, this time, his junior brother had met his match?
When Mu Qing counted to fifteen in his heart, Zhou Yuyan also exclaimed.
No way? Little Junior Brother was actually stumped? He was a prodigy!
“I’m done!” Zhou Jin placed the last two wooden sticks on the table. His face was red, and it was obvious that he had used a lot of strength.
Yan Jiuchao said disdainfully, “Pfft- I casually put it together. You’ve already dismantled it for so long. You’re so stupid!”
Zhou Jin took the Kongming Lock and put it together. He handed it to Yan Jiuchao and said, “It’s your turn. I casually put this together too!”
Mu Qing and Zhou Yuyan were stunned. Were they seeing things? Was the honest little junior brother saying harsh words? They had both seen him piece it just now. How was he casual? He was simply gritting his teeth, okay?
Yan Jiuchao didn’t even lift his eyelids as he arrogantly took the Kongming Lock. He dismantled it.
Damn it! It couldn’t be opened!
Yan Jiuchao’s internal energy trembled and he said innocently, “Oh? It’s broken!”
Zhou Jin hurriedly lay on the table and picked up the Kongming Lock that was broken in the middle. He was so angry that he kicked his legs. “Why is it broken? What lock did you buy! Are you greedy for cheap! It wasn’t easy to think of it! I even forgot how to put it together!”
Mu Qing and Zhou Yuyan looked at each other. Were they seeing things? Was that kid who was so angry that his hair stood on end really his mature and steady little junior brother?
After Zhou Jin took the medicine, he lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. He remembered that there were chopsticks in the hall that he could carve a Kongming Lock himself.
He got up and left the room. The room he was staying in was in the middle. He had forgotten which side led to the stairs to the lobby. He turned left and went down the stairs, but he came to the backyard of the inn.
At the other end of the courtyard was the kitchen. Yu Wan was chopping bones in the kitchen with an extremely loud sound. The three little black eggs were lying on the door and secretly looking in through the crack.
Mother, mother, mother…
When Zhou Jin passed by, he saw three children peeping in with their butts raised. He stopped in his tracks. “Who are you?”
The three little black eggs were so shocked that their hair stood on end. They bent down with a whoosh and covered their heads with their little clothes. This way, no one would see them…
Zhou Jin looked at the three little fellows. They were like three little ostriches covering their heads, but their little butts were still raised high. He really couldn’t help but laugh. He had rarely even smiled, let alone laughed.
No, he was laughing so hard that he was in tears.
The three little ostriches took off the small clothes covering their heads and bent down to look at him from under their pants.
“What are you laughing at?” Xiaobao asked.
Zhou Jin pulled the little fellows up and couldn’t hide his smile. “You’re so dark.
Who are you?”
Upon hearing him say that they were dark, the little black eggs were unhappy. They collectively pulled down their chubby faces and glared at him resentfully.
Zhou Jin did not realize that he had said something wrong, but he thought of something else—he had good food on him! He opened the small purse hanging at his waist and took out a few pieces of crispy candy wrapped in parchment.
“Do you want some?”
The little black eggs’ eyes lit up, and their collective resentment turned into a collective slurp! Zhou Jin picked up a piece and fed it to Dabao, who was closest to him.
Xiaobao said crisply, “Why didn’t you feed me?”
Zhou Jin was stunned for a moment before he picked up another piece of candy to feed Xiaobao.
Er’bao was unhappy. He twisted his little butt and said aggrievedly, “What about Er’bao?”
Zhou Jin was at a loss!
The three little black eggs opened their mouths wide. Zhou Jin felt that he couldn’t even feed them. He felt a headache coming on! When the three little black eggs finished most of the box of crispy candy, they were finally appeased. They obediently took the crispy candy and ate it.
Zhou Jin looked at the three fat little fellows and said, “But… you’re already so fat. Can you still eat candy?”
The three little black eggs choked at first before leaving with tears streaming down their faces! This brother was bad. He even said that they were dark and fat. He didn’t want to play with him anymore!
“Hey! Don’t go! I haven’t finished speaking… You guys…” She had already walked far away. Zhou Jin looked at the empty courtyard dejectedly and sighed. “Actually, it’s quite… cute.”
The little black eggs were gone, and Zhou Jin’s mood to make a Kongming Lock suddenly disappeared. He looked at Yu Wan, who had been a professional at chopping bones for a hundred years, through the crack of the door, nodded and walked towards the guest room.
Just as he was about to go upstairs, a tall figure pressed against him from behind. One hand wrapped around his body, and the other covered his nose with a handkerchief.
There was knockout medicine on the handkerchief. Zhou Jin fell unconscious after taking a breath..
