Chapter 133: Burial Mound, Courting Favor

Because Jian Zhongying’s injury was too severe, Chi Shuyan drew out the yin energy from his shoulder and everyone quickly sent him to Yonglin County Hospital, which was the closest.

After confirming that Jian Chongying was fine, Qi Hao and Lu Chengfu regained the enthusiasm which they had shown Chi Shuyan in the tomb; one was more fawning than the other.

Chi Shuyan didn’t remain standing in the ward for long before one of the boys immediately dragged a chair over for her to sit down.

The other brats were naturally unwilling to fall behind. Once Chi Shuyan was seated, they changed her tea in quick succession in less than a few minutes.

Qi Hao affectionately called her “Sister-in-law” repeatedly, and Lu Chengfu and the others also directly changed the way they addressed her. They didn’t call her “Master,” and followed suit in calling her “Sister-in-law.”

The boys almost came to blows a few times over the qualification to call her that. Meeting the scorching gaze of the man full of presence beside her from time to time, as well as Zhu Bocheng’s teasing eyes, Chi Shuyan only felt incomparably embarrassed and distressed. She couldn’t help but recall Qi Hao’s earlier question at the turbulent burial mound about when she was marrying his brother, and if they were getting the certificate that day.

She had been completely stupefied by Qi Hao’s words back then.

Qi Zhenbai had wanted to teach these rascals a lesson before, but seeing how they went from being hindrances to helping and calling the woman in front of them “Sister-in-law,” Qi Zhenbai was expressionless and didn’t say anything. Inwardly, he was satisfied, and he found these rascals particularly pleasing to the eye.

It was just that it wasn’t long before he saw these rascals eagerly “groping” his woman, and his expressionless cold face instantly darkened, black as the bottom of a pot.

Unfortunately, the rascals were still immersed in their fawning, afraid that they would be one step slower than the others, so how could they notice Young Master Qi’s dark face?

“Sister-in-law, I’m sure your shoulders are tired. I’ll help you massage them!”

“Sister-in-law, are your legs sore? I’ll thump your legs!”

“Sister-in-law, is your back sore? I’ll thump your back!”

Chi Shuyan was utterly helpless in the face of the boys’ excessive fawning. Wang Xuewen was even more thick-skinned to the extreme. He quickly found an opportunity to ask, “Sister-in-law, after I finish thumping your back, can you help me feel my roots and bones later to see if I have talent?” After he said that, Wang Xuewen quickly showed a bashful expression, then said, under Qi Hao and Lu Chengfu’s gnashing teeth and contemptuous looks, “Maybe I have talent in this area too! Then, I’ll serve you tea and water, and wash clothes every day from now on. That’s enough to satisfy me.”

Qi Hao and Lu Chengfu:?So shameless!

After coming back from the burial mound and watching these brats fawn over Chi Shuyan, the smile Zhu Bocheng had been holding back finally cracked at Wang Xuewen’s thick skin and shameless words. Pfft! Zhu Bocheng clutched his chest and laughed out loud and so hard that he had tears in his eyes. As he laughed, he mocked, “Xuewen, you’re good, kid. Touching the bones to look for talent. You’ve gone stupid from watching wuxia dramas everyday! Sister Shuyan doesn’t have to do it; let me.” As he spoke, Zhu Bocheng pretended to give Wang Xuewen a look, then shook his head. “You really don’t have any talent!”

Dealt a blow, Wang Xuewen’s face went red.

Qi Hao and the others split their sides laughing.

Chi Shuyan finally figured out the reason for Lu Chengfu and Qi Hao’s excessive hospitality, and was caught between laughter and tears. She didn’t refuse and said that after Jian Chongying recovered, she would have a feel of their roots. However, Chi Shuyan also revealed the truth: They were too old now. Even if they had some talent, it was too late for them to learn now. Learning it on a superficial level to scare outsiders was fine, but anything deeper would depend on luck.

Chi Shuyan changed the subject and suddenly mentioned the talismans, asking if they had used them all up.

Qi Hao and Wang Xuewen’s talismans had long been used up, but the one which Lu Chengfu had was still useful. Lu Chengfu thought that Sister-in-law was going to take it back. Not to mention that this talisman had saved his life countless times, just seeing the power of this talisman each time in King Ying’s tomb, how could Lu Chengfu bear to return it? He wanted to keep it as a peerless treasure, for fear that he would encounter something else.

Lu Chengfu anxiously said, “Sister… Sister-in-law, can you give me this talisman?”

As soon as Lu Chengfu finished speaking, Qi Hao suddenly said, “Punk, give me back that talisman!”

In the tomb before, with lives at stake, Qi Hao couldn’t snatch the talisman back, but now that everyone was fine, Qi Hao remembered the power of that talisman whenever it was used. He immediately said, “Chengfu, did you hear me? Hurry up and give me that talisman in your hand. I was the one who gave it to you in the beginning, but now I’m not willing. Give it back to me first!”
