After a night of rain, the vegetation on Mount Li had taken on a new look. The bamboos in front of the Loyal Alliance were even more verdant. The petals of the potted peonies were rolling with crystal dew. Everything was endlessly beautiful. Yue Tian Le supported his waist with his hands and gritted his teeth. He had already run to the bamboo forest outside the door. She looked around, waiting for her advisor to appear.
About half an hour later, a man wearing a purple robe with a jade-hilted sword tied to his waist ran over, panting.
"Why are you only here now? Don't you know my lumbago? Now that I've been waiting for you, my lumbago has worsened.”Yue Tianle shouted at the man in front of him.
The man giggled and slapped his own face lightly. Then, he said with a smile,"My good junior sister, isn't it fine that senior martial brother is in the wrong? Why are you looking for me so early?”
Yue Tian Le laughed heartily at Jia De's cute act of pretending to be a servant."I see that your attitude of admitting your mistake is quite sincere, so I won't pursue your responsibility. However, I've encountered a headache that needs you to solve!”
"What can stump my intelligent little junior sister? Tell me quickly.”
Yue Tian Le looked around mysteriously, then beckoned Jia De to come closer. Jia De followed Yue Tian Le's instructions and took two steps forward. Their bodies were almost pressed together.
"Look at this!" Yue Tian Le took out the brocade handkerchief from his sleeve and stuffed it into Jia De's hand.
"What is this?"
"You'll know when you see it!"
Jia De took the brocade handkerchief and read the words on it carefully. Then, he asked very seriously,""Where did you get this thing? Was the demoness on it referring to Miss Xiaofeng?”
"Keep your voice down. I picked this up at the Fragrant Dance Pavilion when I went to the capital the last time. A woman in red threw it to me.”Yue Tian Le said in a low voice.
"Could it be that someone is playing a prank and deliberately sowing discord between you and Young Feng?”
"No way. Who would be so bored? Besides, this is my first time going to the capital. I don't know that woman in red either! I think we have to be careful. If Little Sister Feng is really a member of the Demon Sect, then she will definitely bring disaster to our Yue family!”
"Yes, you're right! But how should we treat it seriously?" Jia De looked at the brocade handkerchief again.
"You idiot, if I knew what to do, would I still need to look for you? Quickly think of a way!" Yue Tian Le gave Jia De a punch as she spoke. This senior brother of hers usually doted on her the most, so she did not treat this man who was three or four years older than her as a senior brother at all. Instead, she treated him as a good playmate when she was depressed. Jia De also liked Yue Tian Le to be with him so freely, so he never minded Yue Tian Le's words and deeds.
Jia De clutched his chest that was hurting from Yue Tian Le's beating and forced a smile.""Tian Le, I can give you some ideas, but please don't hit me anymore. It hurts!”
"Does it hurt? Then quickly think of a way, or else we'll continue fighting!" Yue Tianle laughed and stretched out his fist again.
"Alright, I want to! Do you think we should test her first and see if she is really a demonic woman like what the brocade handkerchief said?”
"Alright, how do you think we should test him?"
"As the young miss of the White Bone Cult, she definitely knows martial arts. As long as we force her to use martial arts, we can prove that she is lying to us. Why did she lie to us? Naturally, she has an ulterior motive.”
"Haha, I didn't expect you to have so many ideas! Then how can we force her to make a move? She even gave me her sword. I think it's very difficult to force her to make a move!”
Jia De giggled and said," I seem to remember that Junior Sister is an expert in pranking people. As long as you use your unique skill and ruthlessly torture her, she will use force against you if she can't stand it. Then, she will be exposed!"”
"Hehe, pranking people is my forte, but isn't this a little too much?”Yue Tianle felt that she and Qiu Yihan already had some sisterly relationship. Now that she was asked to deal with Qiu Yihan, she really couldn't make up her mind.
"It's fine. Otherwise, how can we prove her innocence? Aren't you relieved that she's fine?”Jia De gave Yue Tian Le an encouraging gesture.
"Alright, then I'll do it! But if she really is a martial arts expert, then I'll suffer a huge loss!”
Jia De untied a small silver bell from his waist and stuffed it into Yue Tian Le's hand. He whispered,""I'll protect you in secret. Ring this bell if you need anything!”
"Alright, then it's a deal! I'll start the operation in a while. If I need your cooperation, you have to be at my beck and call, understand?”Yue Tian Le held the bell in his hand tightly and ordered.
"Understood!"
"Alright, you go back first. Let me think about how to deal with her the most ruthlessly!”Yue Tian Le waved his hand to signal Jia De to leave. Jia De smiled at Yue Tian Le and slowly walked back to the Loyalty Alliance…
Yue Tian Le endured her back pain and ran to the kitchen to find a bamboo basket for vegetables. She took the basket and walked into the depths of the bamboo forest. She planned to catch a few harmless cauliflower snakes and put them on her bed when Qiu Yihan was not around. Usually, girls would panic when they saw snakes, but women with martial arts would naturally use their inner strength to shatter the snakes. At that time, it would be up to Qiu Yihan to see how she would react. Yue Tian Le walked in the bamboo forest, humming a little tune. She felt that this move of hers was absolutely ruthless. Even the most shrewd woman would be exposed. After wandering around the forest for a long time, she did not find a snake. Yue Tianle was a little disappointed. At this moment, she saw a big rat running into a rat hole. Suddenly, she changed her mind and decided to dig out the rat hole and catch a nest of rats. When she put the nest of rats into a warm bed, Qiu Yihan would still jump up excitedly because the rats were not only uncomfortable but also dirty. After making up his mind, Yue Tian Le pulled out the Jade Spirit Divine Sword at his waist and began to dig a rat hole. Hearing movement, Yue Tian Le scattered food that he had soaked in anesthetic around the rat hole. Then, he quietly hid behind a bamboo tree and observed the movements of the rat. Sure enough, a dozen large rats ran out of the rat hole in a short while. They fought to snatch the food. After eating the food, the rats rolled on the ground and stopped moving. Yue Tian Le saw that they were all motionless. He stood up and walked over. He picked up the rats by their tails and placed them into the bamboo basket one by one. Looking at the furry mice in the bamboo basket, Yue Tian Le smiled proudly. He rubbed his still sore waist and slowly walked back.
When Qiu Yihan woke up in the morning, the first thing she did was to use the leftover rootless water from last night to soak the herbs and apply the medicine on the wound. The dark red wound from last night had returned to its original appearance, and the wound did not hurt anymore. Qiu Yihan happily threw away the used herbs, put on his coat, and walked out of the house. After walking through the long corridor, Qiu Yihan arrived at Yue Tianxiang's residence. He seemed to be in good spirits, not like someone who had been injured. Seeing Qiu Yihan walk over, Yue Tianxiang smiled and asked Qiu Yihan to sit down.
"You're here so early. Does your wound still hurt?”Yue Tianxiang smiled as he poured some tea and passed it to Qiu Yihan.
Qiu Yihan took the cup of tea and smiled,""That Doctor Shen's medical skills are indeed brilliant. After applying the medicine twice, the wound did not hurt at all, and the surrounding skin also returned to its original appearance!”
"He is one of the best doctors in the capital. I heard that the Imperial Palace would sometimes invite him to treat their illnesses!”
"Oh, how are your injuries?" Qiu Yihan looked at Yue Tianxiang's shoulder with concern. The wound that was still bleeding last night did not seem to be bleeding at all today.
"I'm fine. Jia De just changed the medicine for me and used the best herbs. I should be able to practice my sword by tomorrow!”Yue Tianxiang smiled very easily, as if his wound did not hurt at all. Qiu Yihan's heart finally calmed down when she saw his relaxed smile.
"Does Jia De know medicine?" Qiu Yihan asked slowly. When she first saw that person, she had already felt that he was hiding something. She did not expect him to be so talented.
"Yes, he was born into a medical family. His parents were famous doctors in Suzhou at that time, but later, for some reason, they offended people from the martial arts world. Their entire family was exterminated. Jia De was saved from a pile of dead people by his father. He had always liked medical skills and would read medical books when he had nothing to do, so he had quite a good experience in treating external injuries!”After Yue Tianxiang finished his speech, he took a sip of hot tea.
"Poor him!"
"Yes, because of his pitiful background, my parents have always treated him as their own son. He, Tiancheng, and I are like brothers!”
"Oh, Alliance Master Yue is such a good person!"
"Yes, sir!" Yue Tianxiang suddenly looked at Qiu Yihan with a sad expression and said slowly,""I'm going on a long trip tomorrow afternoon. I might not be back for more than ten days!”
"Going far away? Your injuries haven't recovered yet, how can I be at ease!”Hearing that the man she loved was going to leave her for a while, Qiu Yihan could no longer suppress the passion in her heart. Her eyes were almost filled with tears.
Looking at Qiu Yihan's tearful eyes, Yue Tianxiang held her hand and said slowly,""You'll only be gone for ten days. During the days when I'm not around, remember to apply medicine on your wounds on time. If you need anything, look for Jia De. I've already arranged for him. If you feel bored, let Tian Le take you out for a walk.”
"Can I not go?" Qiu Yihan did not know that she was like a helpless child at this moment. She did not want to leave this big tree that she could rely on. If he left, what she was worried about would happen. Then, would she be able to wait for Yue Tianxiang to return safely?
"No, the Martial Arts Circle Convention is scheduled to be held on the first day of next month. I'm going to send invitations to the various large sects under my father's orders!”
"Okay, then you must be careful. I'll wait for you to come back!”Seeing that she could not stop him from making his decision, Qiu Yihan could only wish him a safe journey.
Yue Tianxiang slowly let go of Qiu Yihan's smooth hands and smiled,""I know. I still have something to do with my father. I'll send you back!”
Qiu Yihan stood up slowly and smiled,""No need. You go ahead. I'll go check on Tian Le and see if her waist still hurts!”After saying that, Qiu Yihan walked out of the house. Yue Tianxiang looked at her departing figure and shook his head sadly. In fact, he did not want to go on this long journey either, but his father was worried about Tiancheng's arrogance and was afraid that he would cause trouble if he went out. Jia De was an outsider after all, so he could not let him go on this difficult journey. Only Yue Tianxiang could do it. Moreover, he was the young master of the Loyalty Alliance. He should strengthen his ties with the various sects in the Jianghu.
Yue Tianle sneaked into her room and stuffed the anesthetized rats under the bed. Then, she happily lay on the bed and slept. She wanted to rest up and play with Qiu Yihan tonight.
