Chapter 1214 Wuji and Xiaozhao
Zhang Wuji was very embarrassed at this moment. It felt like he was caught by the teacher in junior high school while passing notes to the girl he had a crush on.
Of course considering his age, it can’t be said that he is in a premature relationship.
He and Xiao Zhao beside him don't have that kind of relationship.
But there is an indescribable embarrassment.
"Hello, senior. I am Xiao Zhao, the young master's maid."
When Xiao Zhao introduced herself to Su Changqing gracefully, Zhang Wuji retorted when he heard the word "maid".
"I told you I didn't ask you to be a maid."
Xiao Zhao did not respond, but just looked at Zhang Wuji with her big smiling eyes.
This also made Su Changqing, who obviously had something urgent to do, immediately look at Zhang Wuji with an aunt's smile, as he was becoming more and more embarrassed and ashamed, but didn't know how to explain in detail.
During the Taoyuan Village period, the people who had the best relationship with Zhang Wuji, apart from the little one who played with him, were Luo Xinghun, who often pretended to be blind to tease him, and Lin Yi, who was of similar age.
By the time of the Ghost Market, Xiao Maodan was still practicing hard in Taoyuan Village, Luo Xinghun became one of the four housekeepers and was busy with his own work, and Lin Yi silently became a laughing stock, racking his brains to prove himself.
The person closest to Zhang Wuji is Su Changqing.
As the saying goes, medicine and poison are inseparable. Before becoming the destined body, there was some communication between the two sides. Of course, most of the time it was Su Changqing who taught Zhang Wuji this knowledge in detail on behalf of Zhang Guchen.
After Ergouzi became Zhang Wuji, because of the artificial destiny body plan, the disciples affiliated with Suzaku Palace began to treat him with indifference, but Su Changqing did not care too much about this, which made the relationship between the two closer.
It's a bit like being both a teacher and a friend.
In fact, the person Zhang Wuji most admires and aspires to be is Su Changqing.
The other party's special insights into medicine and poison, and the innovations he made based on them, have made indispensable contributions to Ghost Market.
Although it was due to political needs, he was jointly recommended by the former members of the Ten Thousand Poison Palace and the Seven Stars of Suzaku to be one of the five best poison doctors in the Ghost Market.
But Su Changqing used his own abilities and charm to prove that he was not a puppet of the Five Great Masters.
After Zhang Wuji's revenge some time ago, he learned about the latest situation of the Ghost Market in detail. One piece of news shocked him.
That is, Su Changqing, who was not very strong to begin with, unexpectedly created the "Xiangliu Heart Sutra" and in one fell swoop controlled the poisonous forest that served as a natural barrier between southern Xinjiang and the wasteland and desert, thus completely cutting off the retreat of the rat tide.
With the strength that was only the tip of the iceberg that he displayed at that time, even Qiao Baxian, who is currently ranked among the best in the Ghost Market, said that it would be difficult to defeat the opponent in the naturally dangerous environment of the Poison Forest.
The key point is that Su Changqing is not a destined body.
He was not like Feng Mo and Yue Piao Ling who showed strong qualities that made people look up to him early on.
He completely relied on his own talent and knowledge of medicine and poisons to create a bright path that best suited him.
This also made Zhang Wuji, who originally lacked talent and could only rely on his father's plan to become a destined body to become stronger, admire him even more.
Therefore, Su Changqing occupies a very special position in Zhang Wuji's heart.
But now he has to see himself in such an embarrassing situation.
Su Changqing, who originally wanted to make a joke, soon noticed that the other party's expression was not right, so he directly transmitted the message.
"Er Gouzi, why are you embarrassed? It's normal for a talented man and a beautiful woman to fall in love. Besides, I can see that Miss Xiao Zhao is a considerate person. For you now, this is already a great bargain.
Or are you worried about the so-called emotional disaster and thus doubt the question of whether love is true or not.
If you really go around this, I can only say that your vision is a bit narrow, and it is also an apology for Miss Xiao Zhao's deep affection."
"I" Zhang Wuji bit his lip, the words came to his lips but he didn't know how to say them.
He could say that after having a very long dream, when he woke up, he had decided to become an emotionless warrior after completing his revenge.
Having lost his mother at a young age and his father at an early age, Zhang Wuji had long regarded himself as a doomed man.
His first secret crush was on the unreliable "Happiness is All That Matters", and as he gained more experience and realized that there was an insurmountable gap between him and the immortals, he quietly let go of the relationship.
Later, in order to verify the impact of the love tribulation, he took the initiative to contact Zhao Min. Although this was a test, through getting to know her from all sides, and after looking into her eyes from afar several times, he realized that he might fall in love again.
He decided to try to accept this first love.
But on the day when he mustered up the courage, and when he realized that Zhao Min had almost the same idea as him, he met Zhao Min again, and saw the beautiful smiling face that had appeared in his dreams countless times being ruthlessly cut off.
boom--!
Zhang Wuji now doesn’t dare to recall that scene. The only thing he remembers is that his brain seemed to explode in an instant and everything was hazy.
This is his destiny.
Anyone who is too close to him may also be infected with misfortune!
Therefore, when he offered sacrifice to his father with Murong Fu's head in front of the tomb, he had already secretly decided that from then on, he would be an emotionless warrior, spending his whole life seeking the pinnacle of martial arts.
However, he was teased by fate again.
"What are you going to do now? Is there anything important?" Seeing Zhang Wuji's expression becoming increasingly gloomy, Su Changqing spoke in time.
Xiao Zhao looked at Zhang Wuji, who was silent and lost in his own world. A hint of heartache flashed in her eyes, and then she took the initiative to answer.
"Nothing important, just hanging out."
But Zhang Wuji suddenly said.
"No, I want to take you to see Miss Wang. She is already looking for a successor for her current hosting job. You..."
But this time, he was interrupted by Xiao Zhao before he could finish his words.
"Senior, is there anything you need us to do?"
When Xiao Zhao looked at Su Changqing, her eyes were full of pleading.
The meaning was very clear. Just find some chores for them to do, and never let Zhang Wuji make up his mind to hand it over to Wang Yuyan.
Seeing this, Su Changqing scratched his cheek with a headache. He could feel that something was wrong with Zhang Wuji.
It was just a matter of personal feelings, and he would not force any red lines, so after thinking for a moment, he decided to keep the two people with him first. This would not affect his completion of the task assigned by Qin Fan, and on the way he could use his authority to check what happened.
"Come on, follow me to Wuyou Villa. I really need your help now."
".Wuyou Villa?" Zhang Wuji, who was about to find an excuse, realized after hearing these four words that Su Changqing might not have deliberately arranged a chore, which made him nod silently.
Xiao Zhao on the side cast a grateful look towards Su Changqing.
While the group of three were arriving at Xuanyang Region on a ship, Su Changqing was looking up information while listening to Xiao Zhao telling about their experiences over the past few days.
After their first encounter in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, Zhang Wuji, who was only acting out of chivalrous intent, found out that Xiao Zhao had gone deep into this dangerous place in order to rescue her father, which triggered some spiritual resonance in him.
So he used his authority in Yaofo City to get Yueling Grass for Xiaozhao. At the same time, he followed Xiaozhao back to Yinye Town. After all, he was proficient in medicine and poison. If the other party really encountered an incurable serious illness, he could also take action in time to avert a tragedy.
But when they arrived at Yinye Town, they saw a chaotic fight.
Xiao Zhao's father, Han Qianye, is the mayor of Yinye Town and also the patriarch of the Han family, the largest family in the town. The reason for his serious illness was that he was secretly poisoned by a part of his clansmen who colluded with the Jianghu alliance formed by Murong Fu.
After all, Han Qianye's stance is biased towards the Ghost Market. Although their small town has not yet been brought under the control of the Ghost Market, under the arrangement of "Knife Maniac and Sword Crazy" before his departure, messengers had already contacted it.
This is also what led to this rebellion and conspiracy.
Han Qianye's side soon gained the upper hand, even though his wife, Daiqisi, was the Purple-Robed Dragon King, one of the four Dharma Kings of the Ming Cult in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", and she achieved a major breakthrough in her realm after experiencing this dangerous situation.
However, she had to face enemy and rebel forces that far outnumbered her. On one hand, she had to protect the seriously injured Han Qianye, and on the other hand, she had to guard against possible spies within the Han family, which limited her strength by 40% to 50%.
Originally, when Han Qianye had decided to sacrifice himself and not become a burden to Daiqisi, Zhang Wuji took action.
Zhang Wuji in the Dharma Realm.
Zhang Wuji who has comprehended the first level of a realm.
What does it mean to personally deal with the rebels who are disrupting the rule of a town?
It's probably the equivalent of just stomping on a bunch of ants to death.
The absolutely ruthless crushing was a powerful force that made the enemy feel so desperate that they went crazy on the spot.
In total, Zhang Wuji spent about a quarter of an hour killing and capturing the enemy troops, easily resolving the chaos with his own strength.
Of these fifteen minutes, fourteen minutes and fifty seconds were used to identify which of the small leaders were worth capturing alive, and to ask Xiao Zhao which members of the Han family chose to betray. This is why it took so long.
Otherwise, he could easily solve the chaos in a small town with just a slap of his hand.
Zhang Wuji's heroic act naturally deeply moved the inexperienced Xiao Zhao.
Especially later, when the small town doctor got the Moon Ling Grass and again explained that Han Qianye's poison was too severe to be cured, it was Zhang Wuji who directly used his Nine Yang True Qi to easily dissolve the poison in Han Qianye's body.
Xiao Zhao already knew that she had fallen completely in love.
It is said that she hurriedly went to Yaofo City with Zhang Wuji to get medicine, and then hurried back to Yinye Town. During this period, because she was worried about her father's illness, she actually did not communicate with Zhang Wuji at all, and she didn't even know his name.
But it was Zhang Wuji who accidentally stacked too many BUFFs.
First, he saved Xiao Zhao's life in the Ten Thousand Poison Valley, then he saved Yinye Town and prevented Xiao Zhao's people and parents from being killed by the rebels, and then he personally treated Han Qianye.
In addition, there is the powerful strength displayed by Zhang Wuji, his already outstanding appearance, and the power to easily obtain rare medicinal materials from Yaofo City. Especially after he became more and more taciturn, his melancholy and mysterious temperament revealed his charm in all aspects.
Plus, a fateful encounter.
Anyway, after confirming that her father was fine, Xiao Zhao had already stated that she would work like a slave to repay the other party's kindness in this life, which was why she had previously called herself Zhang Wuji's maid.
As for why she didn't say anything about pledgeing herself to him, it was because Xiao Zhao felt that she was not worthy of Zhang Wuji.
She didn't dare to expect too much. As long as she could take care of Zhang Wuji's daily life, she would feel very happy even if it was only one-sided. She had never thought about any status or position in her heart.
Afterwards, Zhang Wuji arranged for Dahei to stay in Yinye Town, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from the Ghost Market, and then took Xiaozhao outside to clean up the allied forces that were still running around.
During this period, he naturally rejected Xiao Zhao's idea of becoming a maid.
Although the little girl looked weak, she was actually very stubborn in this regard. Even though Han Qianye and Daiqisi advised her against it, she insisted on following Zhang Wuji.
Zhang Wuji also thought about getting rid of him, but given the current chaotic situation in the Northeast Province, Xiao Zhao would definitely look for him after deciding not to return to Yinye Town, and would likely encounter some danger along the way.
In the end, he relented.
At this moment, after listening to Xiao Zhao's story, Su Changqing looked at Zhang Wuji with a somewhat subtle look in his eyes.
After combining the information collected from the Ghost Market, he roughly understood the reason for Zhang Wuji's change. To be honest, with his personality, he really didn't want to force himself to be a matchmaker, but as a doctor, he knew very well that Zhang Wuji needed Xiao Zhao's medicine.
Only the other person's gentleness and consideration, especially this sincere emotion, can help this guy who has reached a dead end to slowly heal his emotional pain.
Of course, he was very sure that Zhang Wuji, who looked cold-blooded and heartless, at least cared a little about Xiao Zhao. After all, the other party wanted to arrange a job for her as the next host, which was a lucrative job that countless people were eyeing.
Even with Zhang Wuji's strength, he still needs a lot of favors.
If he really didn't care, if there was really no place for the other person in his heart, there was no need for him to go through so much trouble.
With his strength, if he wanted to drive away a little girl who was far inferior to him, there would always be a way.
"Your illness is very serious." Su Changqing sighed.
Zhang Wuji gave him a puzzled look. He first checked his body and then spoke seriously.
"After reaching the state of Nine Yangs in One, I have a special physique that is immune to all poisons. In terms of physical strength alone, it is far superior to that of ordinary Dharma Realms. Only diseases caused by the rules can have an impact on me, but..."
"I'm talking about your brain! Stupid!" Su Changqing rudely slapped him on the forehead.
The sound was very loud, and the residual force even completely dispersed the deathly aura gathered around the ship. This also made Xiao Zhao at the side look worried, and she kept staring at Zhang Wuji's forehead.
"Brain. Brother Su, are you saying that there's something wrong with my brain?" Zhang Wuji touched his smooth forehead and said belatedly.
Su Changqing rolled his eyes silently, then looked at Xiao Zhao.
"You don't even know his real name now."
Xiao Zhao nodded, with a look of deep curiosity in his eyes.
"Don't!" Seeing this, Zhang Wuji hurriedly stopped him.
And Su Changqing had already uttered those three words.
