Chapter 228 The King is Not Stupid 5
The master and disciple finally met. Before Ji Yanli could utter a curse, he saw a white-bearded old man who looked exactly like Master Shang Cheng appear in his bedroom.
It really came out of the blue.
The palace maids in the bedroom were facing a great enemy, shouting "assassin" and surrounding Ji Yanli.
"Master...?"
Ji Yanli shouted uncertainly.
"My dear disciple, the master is here!"
The white-bearded old man threw the gray-robed old man in his hand to Ji Yanli's feet, sat down at the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it.
"I'm so tired. This old man is really heavy. He must have done too many bad things. Oh, I'm so tired."
The corners of Ji Yanli's lips twitched, and he felt that this master was not very reliable.
Then his gaze shifted to the gray-robed old man with his eyes closed, whose life or death was unknown. He began to guess his identity, and his eyes gradually became cold.
Taoist Mingzhen was drawing talismans when Ji Tingyu pushed the door open and walked in.
"You don't get enough rest."
She frowned slightly and scolded him lightly, "I said..."
Thinking of something, her ears turned pink. After a pause, she continued, "I, I told you, you have to take good care of your body. When my master takes action, we still have a tough battle to fight."
Ji Tingyu couldn't help but reach out and touch her ear, which made Taoist Mingzhen shudder. The two looked at each other, both stunned.
"what you do?!"
Taoist Mingzhen was the first to come to his senses. "If you continue to be so frivolous, I will not stay in your house anymore."
"How can this be considered frivolous?" Ji Tingyu chuckled. "This is just my inability to help myself with the woman I love."
After saying this, Taoist Mingzhen blushed again.
She quickly changed the subject: "My master should have news soon. How's things going in the palace lately? Is there anything unusual?"
Ji Tingyu sneered: "What could be wrong? His brain has been corroded by the elixir. He has no other thoughts except killing people. I heard that another person was killed today, and it was an old man. Tsk, he is really improving."
Taoist Mingzhen also showed disdain.
It would be a waste of dragon energy on such a person, so it is better to give it to the master. When the master has achieved great success in his cultivation, this world will be in the hands of them.
Taoist Mingzhen has full confidence in her master. In this world, her master has already stood at the top in metaphysics. No one can be her master's opponent, so naturally he will not fail.
She and Ji Tingyu were still thinking about how they would act when Ji Yanli came to ask for help, so as to regain the face they had lost before, when the jade token hanging around Taoist Mingzhen's neck suddenly shattered.
In an instant, all the blood drained from Taoist Mingzhen's face!
"What's wrong? Your face is so pale, are you feeling unwell?"
Ji Tingyu's hand was slapped away, and Mingzhen rushed out like crazy. She used the talisman left by her master to shrink the earth into an inch, and quickly disappeared from Ji Tingyu's sight.
"Mingzhen!"
Ji Tingyu called out anxiously, and then started coughing non-stop.
"Damn it!"
His body has become so weak, it’s all because of my royal brother!
He was extremely anxious, but he didn't know where Taoist Mingzhen had gone, so he could only remain patient and wait in the mansion.
Three days later, Taoist Mingzhen came back and collapsed in his arms without waiting for him to say anything. He carried the person to the bed and found that Taoist Mingzhen's body was soaked in blood. The strong smell of blood made him feel a little nauseous.
"Quick! Call the court doctor!"
Ji Tingyu was extremely flustered. In his mind, Master Mingdao was different from ordinary people. She could easily handle anything. This was the first time he saw her injured, and such a serious injury!!!
But after the court doctor arrived, the injuries on Taoist Mingzhen's body did not ease at all, and his breath became weaker and weaker.
This made Ji Tingyu completely confused.
"Go, go to the palace..."
After Taoist Mingzhen said this, he completely fainted.
Ji Tingyu didn't want to enter the palace at all, and didn't want to bow to the man on the throne, but his sweetheart was in critical condition, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the palace.
Ji Yanli listened with a sour look to the white-bearded old man bragging about his abilities for the thousandth time.
"That old man in gray originally had a look of arrogance and disdain on his face, but with just one move, just one move, I made him admit defeat with conviction! If you weren't there, you would have seen him kneeling in disbelief and begging for mercy. What a coward!"
The old man thrust his waist forward, raised his head, and an air of dominance came over him.
Ji Yanli held his forehead with his hand, "So, Master, what exactly does this paragraph mean?"
He pointed at the long passage in the book and asked weakly.
The old man with white beard took a look and his eyes wandered around guiltily.
He is a self-taught person, and has never read such a serious book.
"Oh, stop reading. If you want to learn this, what's the point of just reading a book? It's just talk!"
"How can you learn without reading?"
"Well," the white-bearded old man thought for a moment and threw him a pile of talismans. "First, follow the drawings. Once you've learned them, I'll teach you the formula. It's simple. You'll learn it after just one look."
After saying this, he put his hands behind his back and went to the imperial kitchen.
Ji Yanli: "..."
???
He felt that these points were really wasted.
Not long after, when Ji Yanli was dizzy from painting the talismans, a young eunuch came in and reported that Prince Yong'an wanted to see him.
Ji Yanli then remembered that Mingzhen Taoist's master had been killed by them. He asked the palace servants to put away the things on the table, and then said: "Let him in."
His unreliable master had already told him that when he captured the old man in gray, he was afraid that he had accomplices, so he set up a magic circle in his residence, and no one from the Xuanmen sect could enter. If someone from the same lineage as the old man in gray entered, he would be seriously injured if not killed.
Ji Tingyu came in carrying Taoist Mingzhen, and a look of understanding flashed in Ji Yanli's eyes.
"Brother Emperor!"
Ji Tingyu fell to his knees with a plop, "Brother, please save her, please save Mingzhen."
Ji Yanli asked knowingly: "What happened to her?"
"she……"
Ji Tingyu actually didn't know what happened to Taoist Mingzhen, but she was injured when she ran out in a panic after the jade token on her body broke. The only person who could have hurt her could be someone from the Xuanmen.
"She lost the duel. My Royal Brother, Mingzhen has always been devoted to assisting you. This time, she was seriously injured. Please save her, Royal Brother."
Seeing how flustered and anxious he was, Ji Yanli thought of the original world where the two of them were destroying the world while being affectionate with each other, so he decided to help them be together.
He asked someone to call the old man back, and then said to Ji Tingyu: "Do you really want to save her? At any cost?"
Ji Tingyu nodded quickly: "Brother, as long as Mingzhen is safe and sound, I am willing to pay any price."
"Even if you can't be a prince, becoming a commoner is fine with that?"
Ji Tingyu was stunned.
Ji Yanli sneered: "Not willing?"
"Your Highness...I am willing!"
Ji Yanli directly seized his throne with an imperial decree, and then asked the old man to treat Taoist Mingzhen's injuries.
The old man glared and firmly disagreed.
Finally, Ji Yanli promised to recruit famous chefs from all over the world to cook for him, with different dishes every day, and he reluctantly agreed to take action.
"Just keep her alive. She doesn't need to remember all the messy things she learned before."
