Senior Brother Seems To Really Know Everything

He chose option three, shaking his head, Jiang Beiran said, "No need to apologize to me. Why do you think I appeared so promptly? In truth, I've been following you since you left the inn. The only reason I didn't stop you was to let you suffer a little."

Fang Qiuyue was stunned. She had thought that even if he were lying, her senior brother would at least offer some comfort given her current injuries. Instead, his words were so harsh.

"I..." Fang Qiuyue was speechless, unsure how to respond.

"Quickly take the medicine. We'll depart in two hours." Jiang Beiran finished speaking and pushed open the door, leaving the room.

Listening to the sound of the door closing, Fang Qiuyue's expression instantly crumbled. She turned to Liu Zijin and asked, "Sister Zi Jin... am I really that annoying?"

Liu Zijin, standing beside her, was also surprised that her senior brother would scold Qiu Yao when she was so weak. After a moment of stunned silence, she finally said, "How could you be like this? Sister is already worried sick about you. Come, take the medicine first."

"But senior brother he..."

"No 'buts'. Jiang Shixiong is also angry right now. Look how earnestly he lectured us all the way here, yet you didn't listen to a word and kept going against him. How could he..." Liu Zijin trailed off, suddenly noticing that Fang Qiuyue's eyes were already brimming with tears.

"Oh dear, don't cry, don't cry. Sister spoke too harshly. As long as you realize this and slowly change in the future, Jiang Shixiong definitely won't be angry with you like this again."

Fang Qiuyue wiped her tears with her hand and nodded. "En... I truly regret it now. Senior brother was right. It really is dangerous down the mountain. I wanted to help them, but they cursed me and harmed me, I..."

Seeing Fang Qiuyue on the verge of tears again from distress, Liu Zijin quickly poured a cup of tea and sat by the bed, saying to Fang Qiuyue, "Alright, don't think about it for now. Take the medicine, don't delay our departure later, or Jiang Shixiong will scold you again."

Hearing the last sentence, Fang Qiuyue quickly swallowed the Heart Cleansing Pill in her hand.

"Here, drink some water." Liu Zijin handed the teacup to Fang Qiuyue.

Fang Qiuyue was stunned for a moment before saying, "The pill senior brother gave me has a faint fragrance. It smells so good."

"Faint fragrance?"

"En! If you don't believe me, Sister Zi Jin, you can smell it." Fang Qiuyue exhaled a breath towards Liu Zijin.

Liu Zijin exclaimed after smelling it, "It's true! It smells like Frostleaf Flower."

"And... my stomach feels much better too." Fang Qiuyue rubbed her stomach, her face full of surprise.

Before swallowing the Heart Cleansing Pill, she had felt a constant nausea but lacked the strength to vomit. Now, she felt completely comfortable.

"So, you don't want to drink tea anymore?"

Fang Qiuyue nodded. "En, this scent is so lovely, I want it to linger in my mouth a little longer."

Liu Zijin smiled upon hearing this, placed the teacup aside, and tucked Fang Qiuyue in again. "Then you should rest a little longer."

Just as Liu Zijin was about to get up and leave, Fang Qiuyue suddenly reached out and grabbed the hem of her clothes.

"En? What's wrong?" Liu Zijin turned back and asked.

"Sister Zi Jin... could you just sit next to me and keep me company for a while? I... I'm a little scared."

Seeing Fang Qiuyue's nervous little expression, Liu Zijin sat back down by the bed and held her hand, comforting her, "Don't be scared, you're safe now that we're back."

Feeling Fang Qiuyue's hands were a bit cold, Liu Zijin rubbed them while changing the subject, "But Jiang Shixiong is really amazing, it's like there's nothing he can't do."

"Yes, yes," Fang Qiuyue nodded repeatedly like a pecking chick, then whispered, "Sister Zi Jin, have you noticed that ever since we put on the straw hats and sun-scorched cloth that Shixiong gave us, no one else has paid attention to us anymore?"

"Of course I noticed, but Jiang Shixiong doesn't seem to like people prying into his privacy, so it's better not to ask about it," she replied.

"Mhm, I understand," Fang Qiuyue nodded, wanting to say something else, but swallowed the words back.

Just how strong is Shixiong's power...

Fang Qiuyue was very clear about the difference in strength between herself and that bladesman when they fought for their lives yesterday. That bladesman's strength had likely broken through Qi Condensation and reached the Mystic Practitioner level.

But Shixiong was able to easily rescue her from right under his nose. That was definitely not just because of that black smoke.

However, Shixiong was clearly very wary of this, so Fang Qiuyue decided not to speak of it.

Seeing Fang Qiuyue suddenly fall silent, Liu Zijin smiled and gently squeezed her hand, "Get some sleep, we still have to travel later."

"Mhm... Thank you, Sister Zi Jin," Fang Qiuyue said, slowly closing her eyes.

Two hours passed quickly, and Jiang Beiran knocked on Liu Zijin and the others' door right on time.

With a creak, Liu Zijin opened the door and bowed to Jiang Beiran, "Shixiong, we are all ready."

Jiang Beiran glanced into the room and saw that Fang Qiuyue had changed her clothes and put on the straw hat.

"Are you still feeling any discomfort?" Jiang Beiran asked Fang Qiuyue expressionlessly.

Fang Qiuyue shook her head, "No, the medicine Shixiong gave me was very effective."

"Good, then let's prepare to depart."

At this moment, the Yu Family Three Sisters also came out from the room next door. Upon seeing Jiang Beiran, they bowed in unison, "Greetings, Shixiong."

Jiang Beiran nodded at them calmly, but he was very curious in his heart.

Yesterday, after seeing the size of the Human Grade Room, the Yu sisters hadn't asked for an additional room and had slept three people in one room for the night.

Did they stuff a bed into their Universe Rings?

However, he didn't dwell on his curiosity. Jiang Beiran surveyed the five junior sisters and said, "Since everyone is ready, let's go."

"Yes!"

Five voices answered in unison.

Huh?

The Yu Family Three Sisters all looked at Fang Qiuyue, who had just walked out of the room. They were a little surprised why she wasn't throwing a tantrum today, as she had completely ignored her Senior Brother yesterday.

After their confusion, the three sisters exchanged glances for a moment, then looked at Jiang Beiran and Fang Qiuyue together, revealing the same expression.

I'm so curious!

After going downstairs and settling the bill, Jiang Beiran left Sunset Glow Town with his five Junior Sisters and continued walking towards Gather Wealth Village.

At the Wu Hour, Sunset Glow Inn was as usual, welcoming guests from all directions. Several waiters were so busy they were hitting the back of their heads, delivering plates of delicious food to the guests' tables.

At the counter, the head waiter of Sunset Glow Inn was drawing wine. He turned his head and saw a familiar figure entering the door. Startled, he quickly put down the wine jug and ran to the person, bowing and shouting, "Master Chen, it's truly an honor for you to grace our humble establishment."
