Gu Jiangyue didn't even spare a glance at Ji Yunsheng. After all, this guy was the one who had made her sleep so groggily that she didn't know where she was.
Ji Yunsheng waited for a while. Seeing that Gu Jiangyue didn't intend to talk to him even after finishing the medicine, he couldn't stand it anymore and flared up.
"Your body is really too weak. The medicine I... the Valley fed you clearly shouldn't have made you unconscious for so long. It even made me get beaten for so long in vain."
Gu Jiangyue had suffered a lot in the Gu Mansion. After being reborn, her body was even worse than before. She could only recuperate it slowly.
Ji Yunsheng almost let it slip. He didn't care about anything anymore. Crossing his arms over his chest, he frowned on his good - looking face and leaned his head in front of Gu Jiangyue and said to her,
"You don't have any self - protection ability at all. How can you stay by Xie Jiuan's side? How about you call me master and I'll teach you martial arts?"
Ji Yunsheng was dressed flamboyantly. The silver ornaments on him kept clinking. He had a lewd smile on his face with a hint of evil. Anyone who saw him would probably have the urge to slap him.
Gu Jiangyue was too lazy to argue with him, but she was a bit interested in what Ji Yunsheng had just said.
Why couldn't she stay by Xie Jiuan's side?
"Doesn't Xie Jiuan know martial arts?"
Gu Jiangyue asked with a confused face, voicing the question that had been buried in her heart for a long time.
Ji Yunsheng immediately stamped his feet in anger. He, the number one expert in the Medicine King Valley, wanted to take her as his apprentice, but Gu Jiangyue didn't seem to care at all. There were so many people begging him to take them in, but he didn't want them.
But in order not to be chased and beaten by Xie Jiuan for a few more days, Ji Yunsheng still remembered Xie Jiuan's teachings. He shook his head seriously and said with a straight face,
"He can't do anything. He only has a good - looking face."
Ji Yunsheng said it so sincerely that it didn't seem like he was acting. Gu Jiangyue nodded and asked again,
"Are you afraid that if I'm with him, I won't be able to fight back if someone attacks me?"
Ji Yunsheng was completely speechless. He was actually afraid that one day Gu Jiangyue would be frightened by Xie Jiuan's peerless martial arts. After all, from childhood to adulthood, anyone who had offended Xie Jiuan ended up lying down when talking to him. How could Ji Yunsheng be worried that Xie Jiuan couldn't beat others?
Ji Yunsheng recalled Xie Jiuan's past actions. He felt that Xie Jiuan could beat anyone except Gu Jiangyue. But he had just lied to Gu Jiangyue. He couldn't expose himself now.
So Ji Yunsheng nodded again.
"Oh, then I want to learn martial arts. I want to protect him."
Gu Jiangyue thought to herself. As long as she didn't get rid of those people, her enemies would increase in the future. If Xie Jiuan was involved, it would be bad.
The image of Xie Jiuan's amorous and cynical appearance appeared in Gu Jiangyue's mind again. There was a high possibility that Xie Jiuan would be beaten, so she had to learn some martial arts to protect her husband.
Hearing Gu Jiangyue's words, Ji Yunsheng was extremely happy. If Gu Jiangyue recognized him as her master, then Xie Jiuan would have to be respectful to him in the future. Just thinking about it made Ji Yunsheng unable to hold back the smile on his lips.
"Little Jiangyue is going to be my apprentice? Then you have to give me a gift for apprenticeship. Kneeling and kowtowing can be waived. But if you want to do it, it's not impossible. Your master still likes it very much..."
Gu Jiangyue looked at Ji Yunsheng in front of her and thought he was a bit stupid.
"If I learn from you, I'll go find the Black - clothed Man."
Gu Jiangyue glanced at Ji Yunsheng. She didn't have to learn from Ji Yunsheng. The Black - clothed Man was also very powerful. He definitely wouldn't have any strange requirements.
Gu Jiangyue was about to lift the quilt and get out of bed to go find the Black - clothed Man. But as soon as she lifted a corner of the quilt, Ji Yunsheng quickly pressed it back.
"Don't! Can't I stop making so many requirements? He's busy. Don't bother him."
If Xie Jiuan knew that he wanted to take Gu Jiangyue as his apprentice, Xie Jiuan would never let him off. After weighing the pros and cons, Ji Yunsheng decided to give up the idea of taking an apprentice. But as long as he taught Gu Jiangyue martial arts, there would still be some benefits for him in front of Xie Jiuan.
Gu Jiangyue thought for a while. She rarely saw the Black - clothed Man wandering around casually. Ji Yunsheng, on the other hand, was idle all day long. In fact, Gu Jiangyue had already made up her mind. She wouldn't bother the Black - clothed Man. She just wanted to scare Ji Yunsheng. Unexpectedly, Ji Yunsheng really gave in.
Just like this, Gu Jiangyue learned from Ji Yunsheng for two days. Although she didn't learn anything useful, Gu Jiangyue could feel that Ji Yunsheng had some skills. After all, her body had improved a lot, and even her wounds seemed to be healing a little faster.
Ji Yunsheng knew the Black - clothed Man and Xie Jiuan and had a good relationship with them. He was very good at both medicine and martial arts. Gu Jiangyue also tried to find out about his background from him. But although Ji Yunsheng was usually carefree, he was extremely sensitive about this kind of thing. Gu Jiangyue pestered him for two whole days but didn't find out anything.
But the more Ji Yunsheng didn't say, the more curious Gu Jiangyue became.
Two days passed quickly. During these two days, Gu Jiangyue never saw the Black - clothed Man. Ji Yunsheng said that the Black - clothed Man had gone to contact the boss of the grain store. With his skills, Gu Jiangyue didn't need to worry too much.
The next time Gu Jiangyue saw the Black - clothed Man was on the day when they were going to meet Xie Chengrui. Gu Jiangyue deliberately chose clothes that she didn't usually wear and took out some of her gold and silver jewelry and wore them all over her head just so that Xie Chengrui wouldn't recognize her.
Xie Chengrui had never seen the Black - clothed Man. Gu Jiangyue originally thought that he would still be wearing black clothes. But when she saw him, she was stunned.
He had taken off his black clothes and was wearing a dark red robe. His hair was also tied up high. Compared with before, the contrast was extremely great. But the noble air and coldness emanating from his body remained unchanged.
This time, the Black - clothed Man didn't wear the usual white mask. Instead, he wore a bamboo hat that could cover his whole face with a black veil on it, making it impossible to see his face clearly.
It was also the first time for Xie Jiuan to see Gu Jiangyue dressed so gorgeously. She was wearing a long golden phoenix - tailed dress, and there were many silver ornaments on her hair bun. The originally old - fashioned dressing didn't seem so out of place when paired with Gu Jiangyue's face.
Looking at Gu Jiangyue, Xie Jiuan only had one thought in his mind: Gu Jiangyue looked good in anything.
Xie Jiuan stared at Gu Jiangyue for a while. Then he handed the other bamboo hat in his hand to Gu Jiangyue. Gu Jiangyue took it casually and felt that the Black - clothed Man under the bamboo hat seemed to be looking at her.
Gu Jiangyue's makeup today was a bit thick, especially her lips, which were extremely colorful and quite seductive. She looked at herself in the mirror and asked with some confusion,
"Does my dressing look strange?"
Xie Jiuan wanted to deny it and say that she looked good in anything. But the words were swallowed back. After thinking for a long time, he just shook his head at Gu Jiangyue and then said,
"You don't look bad. It's time to go."
