Chapter 1315: Chapter 1316: Yu Jizi Leaves
“Hmph, suit yourself. Stay away from , don’t drag down.”
Gui Yunxi: “…”
The wedding procession was on its way back, while Yu Jizi in Nanzhao’s Taihe City received a ssage.
Jin Ziyuan has appeared, in the East Sea.
Since he kidnapped Gu Youyou, it’s been over half a year without a single trace of Jin Ziyuan. This has left Yu Jizi deeply frustrated, but now there’s finally word of Jin Ziyuan. How could he let this opportunity pass? He imdiately summoned Zhiqiu.
“Master, what business do you have with Zhiqiu?”
Yu Jizi stood by the window, hands behind his back, gazing at the mountains and rivers outside, his eyes carrying an air of transcendence.
His head adorned with silver hair, his spine straight, the aura he exuded was shockingly ethereal.
Zhiqiu stared in astonishnt, marveling inwardly at how his master was truly beyond compare. If only he could cultivate such an aura soday.
Yu Jizi didn’t turn around and calmly replied, “There is news about Jin Ziyuan. I need to leave for a while. You stay here and guard Gu Youyou.”
“Master, you’re leaving?” Zhiqiu was surprised. “Didn’t you say Jin Ziyuan would eventually fall into the trap himself?”
Yu Jizi sighed lightly. “Perhaps I underestimated him.”
It’s been so many years. Gu Youyou has married and even had children. Whether she still holds the sa place in Jin Ziyuan’s heart as before is hard to say.
“But…” Zhiqiu hesitated, looking uneasy, and said, “Jin Zijin and Yue Rujing have been lingering around this village. What if they co to snatch her once Master has left?”
Yu Jizi tilted his head slightly and said, “Then let them take her.”
“Huh? Then wouldn’t all the effort we spent capturing Gu Youyou be wasted?” Zhiqiu asked, puzzled.
Yu Jizi showed a warm smile and laughed heartily, “Zhiqiu, even if they succeed in taking her, where could they possibly hide? As long as Tian Jizi doesn’t intervene, even if they bring her back to the Imperial Palace in Zhuzhao Country, if I want to act, I can still get her out.”
Zhiqiu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself: Master truly has an awe-inspiring presence. If only he could achieve even half of what his master has soday.
But no one could have anticipated that this was a trap set by Jin Ziyuan before his departure.
Jin Ziyuan ultimately left with You Jiang to Qiuci, but before leaving, he played a trick on Yu Jizi.
Given Yu Jizi’s prowess, if not for being driven mad in his pursuit of Jin Ziyuan, he wouldn’t have fallen for such a sche.
Though this act didn’t enable Jin Zijin to rescue Gu Youyou outright, it undoubtedly gave their faction a great advantage.
…
Upon hearing news of Yu Jizi’s departure, the following day Jin Zijin couldn’t resist sending Yue Rujing and Jie Zhonglin to the Witch Doctor Village.
The villagers ca out in droves when they saw two strangers approaching, eyeing the three visitors closely.
“Have the honored guests co to the Witch Doctor Village for a specific matter?” the overseer asked.
Without Yu Jizi present, their deanor was naturally haughty. Yue Rujing strode forward boldly and said, “My senior brother has been feeling unwell lately, so we’ve co to see the witch doctors.”
Illnesses requiring visits to the Witch Doctor Village were a common occurrence. The locals here believed in witch doctors and rejected regular doctors, much like how Zhuzhao Country worshipped the Dao Sect and shunned Buddhism.
Upon hearing they were here for dical treatnt, the overseer quickly invited them indoors and asked, “Do you have a specific witch doctor in mind? If not, I can arrange one for you.”
Yue Rujing coughed lightly and said, “No, we’re from Zhuzhao Country. We don’t see witch doctors; we’ve co to find a doctor instead.”
