Jiang Jinlu’s eyes were still a little red and swollen at this moment.
Coupled with this baby face, Xie Qiao thought of… a big boss in women’s clothing.
If this junior brother of hers were to change into women’s clothing, he might be much more likable than a man. Oh right, if he was wearing women’s clothing, he would add some props, hold a few boxes of dim sum or mooncakes in his hands, and open his innocent little mouse-like eyes. With his cheeks puffed up, he would definitely be a little cute.
In short, it would be… more interesting than looking at him now.
“Your senior brother is fine now. He’s indeed still sleeping, but his body is not as cold as before, and his breathing is much calmer.” Seeing that he was worried about Sang You, the old master did not hide the disciple’s illness.
Hearing this, Jiang Jinlu was extremely shocked. “Really, Teacher?! But that miracle doctor clearly…”
Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly remembered the scene where Meng Xiande was dragged away yesterday. He was a little suspicious. “Teacher, could it be… that Meng Xiande lied to us? Could my senior brother have been poisoned? It was Meng Xiande who did it? That miracle doctor was also sent by him to deceive me?! But there’s no hatred or resentment, why is this so?!”
“Meng Xiande has a grandson who was trapped in the ice house and almost lost his life earlier. Meng Xiande found a Taoist master to extend his life for many years. When he met your Senior Brother Sang earlier, it just so happened that the two of them had the same birthday, and their personalities were similar, so… he got your senior brother to be a substitute, which was also a substitute puppet,” Li Shiyan explained politely at this moment.
Jiang Jinlu felt as if he was listening to something in Greek. Substitute puppet?
T-The cold disease… could be substituted?!
He was at a loss, Li Shiyan continued, “Meng Xiande dragged this out for so long just to make the substitute technique go smoother. I didn’t expect your senior sister to come and set up the Seven Star lamps to ruin his plan. Yesterday, he deliberately took you away in the name of the miracle doctor.
“Along the way, he thought of ways to get people to destroy the lamps in order to make the substitute technique succeed.
“Fortunately, there was still one lamp left yesterday. Otherwise, your senior brother would have been beyond saving.
“The Taoist master was killed by the backlash. Meng Yin lost his life because of the failure of the life-prolonging method. Your senior sister worked hard to chant the spell to make the substitute technique disappear completely. It won’t be long before Sang You wakes up.”
Li Shiyan said it clearly.
Jiang Jinlu was stunned.
He did not believe what others said, but his teacher’s words… he had to believe
However, to believe his teacher’s words was equivalent to shattering all his years of persistence!
“Now that I’ve told you everything clearly, do you know what you’ve done wrong?” After a moment, Li Shiyan asked again.
Jiang Jinlu’s lips quivered slightly. “I-It’s my fault for not trusting senior sister…”
“You child, you still don’t understand.” Li Shiyan shook his head, “You’ve followed me for many years, and I’ve never worried about your studies. It was a
smooth journey teaching you how to read, but I was a little careless in teaching you how to behave.”
Jiang Jinlu’s face turned pale when he heard that.
He would rather his teacher say that he did not do well in his studies and that he was born stupid than to hear such….comments!
Behave… He did not know how to behave?
Jiang Jinlu suffered a huge blow. Her mind was already muddled, and he knelt on the ground, trembling all over.
“Let me ask you, when you left yesterday, who was there in this courtyard?” Li Shiyan asked.
“There were… two guards, a servant from the Meng family, and…” when Jiang Jinlu said that, he suddenly felt powerless and came to a realization, ‘And you, Teacher…”
