Chapter 15 [015] Make her regret

He spoke haltingly and his sentences were short, but it was not difficult to understand his meaning.

"That Zhongli Jin has become a useless man! He is now a mortal who is subject to birth, aging, sickness and death! I don't want to marry him! There are so many powerful people in the world, I don't want to hang myself on a useless man!"

Zhongli Jin did not believe what the junior sister said, but what Shi Qing said was almost the same as what she repeated.

Useless person, useless person.

It turns out that this is really the case.

The corners of the boy's lips suddenly curved, but that curve did not contain any tenderness, but instead carried a hint of mockery and coldness.

"That night, Senior Sister only whipped me three times and didn't tell anyone else that I had violated the rules. Regardless, I am grateful." Zhong Lijin took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Shi Qing: "This is Baijie Pills, which can cure all kinds of poisons after taking them. This is a thank you gift from Junior Brother. From now on, Junior Brother doesn't owe you anything."

He used this month to refine pills that he might need in the secret realm.

In addition to Zangxidan, there are also some Baijie pills.

The young man sealed a few Baijie pills in a porcelain bottle and prepared to give it to Shi Qing as a thank you.

But unexpectedly, the girl did not accept it.

"No need." Shi Qing turned his head and glanced at the young man.

Baijie Pills are very precious, and most people cannot make them. Even Cangying can only make a medium-grade one with average effect.

To be honest, she kind of wanted it, and it would definitely be useful to bring it into the Magic and Martial Arts Secret Realm.

The reason Zhongli Jin gave her was just to thank her for her previous care, but Shi Qing was unable to accept it.

After all, those considerations were not what she wanted.

"Master knows about your matter." Shi Qing said.

Master knows about this.

Zhong Lijin was slightly startled, "...The master knows?"

"Yes," Shi Qing nodded, "I said it."

She didn't tell anyone else, but she would definitely tell the master.

Zhongli Jin: “…”

"Three whips, you are weak."

I only whip you three times because you are too weak.

"He has weak bones and can't bear it. He's afraid of becoming disabled." Shi Qing stared into Zhong Lijin's eyes. His voice was like a pool of still water. He spoke every word seriously, as if he was an absolutely objective person who was rationally pointing out the reason why the boy was treated preferentially: "Master, please take care of me."

"He feels guilty."

"Not my idea."

"If it's wrong, it's wrong, and you should be punished. If it's not, he ordered it, and you should be punished in full."

You are too weak and your bones are too weak. You definitely cannot withstand thirty lashes. I’m afraid you will become disabled after being beaten.

Master asked me to take care of you because he feels very guilty about you. It was not my intention to open the small window. If you were wrong, you should be punished. Without his order, you should have received the full punishment.

"..."

The air was suddenly silent.

After a long while, the young man in white finally chuckled as if unintentionally, and muttered to himself: "So that's it."

He raised his eyes again, met Shi Qing's calm and indifferent eyes, took the small porcelain bottle back into his palm, and said, "So, actually I don't need to thank Senior Sister in the slightest, right?"

Shi Qing: “…”

Although I really want Baijie Pills, it seems that this is really the case.

If something is given as a thank you, Shi Qingduan will not accept it if the real person being thanked is not himself.

"Yeah." She nodded calmly, her eyes still glancing at Zhongli Jin's sleeves. Hmm... I really want it.

Can I give it to her as the share of pills she usually receives?

Unfortunately, Zhongli Jin didn't seem to have that intention and simply put the small porcelain bottle back into his sleeve.

"Farewell, Senior Sister." These four respectful words, but the tone of voice did not convey any respect.

Instead, it feels like driving people away.

"..." Shi Qing could only say "hmm" in disappointment and walk away.

After she left, Zhong Lijin stood there for a few minutes.

Until the old man in my mind asked with concern: [Young man, are you okay? ]

[I'm fine, senior.] Zhongli Jin seemed to have regained his composure, curled his lips, and smiled as if relieved: [Shi Qing and Junior Sister said the same thing, I don't need to be grateful to her for anything, it's fine, I saved a few Baijie Pills.]

[Indeed,] the old man nodded in agreement: [This girl looks very cold. At first I thought she broke off your engagement two years ago and gave you a chance out of guilt. I didn’t expect it was all at the request of her master. It seems that the new head of the Three Pure Ones is pretty good.]

[Master Shi Yue has always been kind-hearted.] Zhongli Jin said; [I have never felt that the Master needs to feel guilty about anything.]

After all, the person who should feel guilty is Shi Qing.

His cultivation was completely destroyed, and his spiritual roots were destroyed.

I had just struggled back from the brink of death, and she came to cancel the engagement without stopping, as if she was afraid of having any relationship with a useless person again.

At that time, Zhongli Jin just choked with anger and tried hard to control his grief and anger, because the young man wanted to save some final dignity for himself.

From a talented young cultivator, to a useless man who could no longer practice, his engagement was broken off as a gimmick to add insult to injury. Over the course of two years, his sect gradually declined, with people dying or leaving. Those who used to envy him began to sigh and pity him, and those who used to be jealous of him began to gloat over his misfortune.

Sect leader Shi Yue felt guilty about breaking off the engagement, so he sent him a precious elixir to make it up to him.

He understood, so he never blamed the man.

It's just Shi Qing.

Why on earth could she be so calm and composed?
"In the future, don't have too much contact with Senior Sister Shi Qing. She admires the strong and only likes powerful people. She looks down on the weak. I heard that she was quite happy to form a Taoist partner with you at the beginning, but as soon as you were disabled, she immediately wanted to break up with you. You must stay away from such people." The words of the little senior sister are still fresh in my ears.

Mu Qiang.

I only like the awesome ones.

Look down on the weak.

Zhong Lijin asked jokingly: "If I become strong again, will she like me again?"

The little sister thought for a moment and said with a smile, "She probably will. There will be a disciple competition later. If you can beat her in the disciple competition, she will definitely fall in love with you. Then she may regret breaking off the engagement! Just thinking about it makes me happy. I can't stand such treacherous people. She must have hurt you by taking advantage of your misfortune. Although Junior Brother Zhongli is open-minded and has let it go, I can't swallow this anger. Don't be afraid. I am the headmaster's biological daughter. No one on Sanqing Mountain dares to mess with me. If you need anything, just tell me, Senior Sister, and I will find it for you!"

Zhong Lijin said: "In that case, I would like to thank you, Junior Sister."

But the boy didn't take Shi Xiang's words to heart.

Until this moment——

【senior.】

【What's wrong? 】

[You said that the art of alchemy can cure diseases and save lives, assist in cultivating immortals, and can kill thousands of people silently. Does that mean that it can also win in a duel? ]

The old man said proudly: [Of course! Many people think that the alchemy doctor should hide behind those sword cultivators and provide elixirs, but they don’t know that the toxicity of one of my pills can even kill millions of people! ]

[Senior,] Zhongli Jin stared at the gate of Baicao Pavilion, the brightly lit octagonal exquisite tower, the flickering candlelight cast the shadow of the young man on the wall, his black pupils dimmed, his dark color slightly cold, and he said word by word; [I want to defeat someone.]

【Let her regret her past choices for the rest of her life. 】
