Ning Ji didn't know that an egg could have so many random thoughts.

He frowned and turned to look at the boy. Seeing his surprise, he said:

"Chu Jinxiao healed my wounds last night and was a little exhausted, so I will let him stay on the mountain for the time being."

His voice was calm and unchanged at all.

ah?

The boy slowly came to his senses when he heard His Majesty's explanation.

Oh, it turns out it’s not an overnight stay.

He had some regrets.

But his attention was immediately attracted by something else.

Senior Brother Chu healed the injury for Your Majesty.

Wait, so your Majesty was really injured last night, and it wasn’t resolved by the medicine?

He opened his eyes wide, and Ning Ji could tell his thoughts at a glance.

I know the child will feel guilty.

He pursed his lips and said, "Don't think too much, I'm fine now."

The boy's face still fell.

Ning Ji has never been a talkative person, so a word of comfort is enough.

After finishing speaking, he stood up.

The boy saw that His Majesty paused and brushed away Senior Brother Chu's tight hand.

"You take care of him."

"Oh, okay."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely take good care of Senior Brother Chu this time."

He nodded immediately with the intention of exchanging merit for crime.

In his heart, he completely believed in your Majesty's words and regarded that man as a god.

But Kong Ling did not.

He was so angry that he was about to explode.

After hearing the explanation, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Ning Ji should be glad that he didn't do anything to A Chu.

otherwise.

snort.

Even if he is a sword master, he will not give up.

He snorted coldly and was a little dissatisfied with Ning Ji for letting Chu Jinxiao treat his injuries.

Perhaps because of the excessive emotional ups and downs just now, Kong Ling unconsciously let out a trace of his breath.

Kong Ling, who just said harsh words:...

What are you watching him do?

He wasn't sure if he had done something again, so he shrank back just to be on the safe side.

Ning Ji was about to leave, but his eyes suddenly paused.

When the boy saw that his Majesty's eyes had turned to the eggs, he didn't know why, but he still explained: "It rained on the road just now, and the crane eggs got wet."

He thought that Your Majesty felt that the egg was a little dirty because of something being poured on it, so he explained embarrassedly.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

Ning Ji glanced at it and then looked away.

"Nothing."

"Let's put the egg on the tree from now on."

If he saw it correctly just now, that breath...

Ning Ji didn't believe in coincidences. The egg showed different auras time and time again, which made him frown.

However, there are restrictions on Jiejian Peak, so it can't cause much trouble.

He treated the egg with indifference, as if it were just a random object.

The boy nodded in understanding.

Kong Ling's original attention was still on the matter of A Chu sleeping on his love rival's bed.

He thought reluctantly, luckily Ning Ji still had some humanity and didn't do anything.

But he didn't expect that this idea would be broken quickly after Ning Ji spoke.

After hearing that the other party only treated him as an object, Kong Ling was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened in disbelief when he realized what he was doing.

…

It was already noon when Chu Jinxiao woke up.

His fingertips paused slightly, and after realizing that the thing in his hand had left, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Senior Brother Chu, are you awake?"

The boy was dazedly fanning on the table on the other side. When he turned around and saw him opening his eyes, he quickly stood up, put down his fan, and went to help him.

Chu Jinxiao heard the voice and sat up.

Most of the fatigue from before fainting has dissipated, but the spiritual energy is slightly blocked, probably due to excessive consumption.

He understood in his heart.

After looking around, he asked dumbly: "Where is Master?"

He remembered that before he fainted, he seemed to have met his master.

When the boy heard that he asked his Majesty as soon as he woke up, he said honestly: "Your Majesty took care of you all night, and then went to rest."

"But don't worry, senior brother, your Majesty specially told me to take good care of you."

"Just have a good rest."

"Take care of me all night?"

Chu Jinxiao frowned.

The boy nodded: "Yes, it should be one night."

"When I came in the morning, Your Majesty was sitting beside the couch. It looked like he hadn't slept all night."

There was some distress in his words.

Chu Jinxiao's heart also twitched.

His fingertips trembled, and for some reason, he felt secretly happy.

After learning that the master had not left, Chu Jinxiao lowered his eyes and felt relieved.

He paused and asked one more question: "How is Master's injury?"

The boy said: "Today seems to be much better than yesterday."

After he finished speaking, he handed Chu Jinxiao a bottle: "By the way, Senior Brother Chu, this spiritual spring is given to you by Your Majesty."

"It is said to be effective in restoring spiritual energy."

Seeing that he was lost in thought, the boy handed him the spiritual spring that His Majesty had left at that moment.

Ning Ji knew this as early as Chu Jinxiao woke up.

A screen separated the inner room between the two of them.

He half-raised his hand and stopped holding the scroll.

Seeing the boy give him the thing, he looked away again.

Just as he was about to continue reading, he suddenly heard a low voice on the other end: "Thank you, Master."

Ning Ji paused with his fingertips: "No need."

He was just returning the favor for healing last night, which was a perfectly normal thing for him.

But Chu Jinxiao didn't know where he was thinking. After being stunned for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said with a smile:

"Well, I know Master."

Ning Ji:……

He somewhat doesn't understand the protagonist's thoughts.
