I Have Medicine Chapter 1526

Chapter 432 - Prince Zhou

After thinking about it, Gu Zuo still used a casual and gossipy tone to ask: “I heard that Prince Zhou treats Senior Sect Brother Xu quite generously, but is living here to your liking?”

Xu Lingxiu gave a cold harrumph, and didn’t answer.

Gu Zuo had deep concern on his face: “Senior Sect Brother Xu, if you to feel unsatisfied in this place, would it be possible to tell me?”

Xu Lingxiu glanced at him: “It’s out of the question to say that I’m satisfied, but I’m not too unsatisfied either. Don’t concern yourself with this matter.”

Gu Zuo paused.

He knew that, with Xu Lingxiu’s pride, he certainly wasn’t the type of person who was willing to complain. Even though they came from the same place and shared a bond of friendship, the situation would remain the same.

However, despite knowing this, how could Gu Zuo not care about Senior Sect Brother Xu? If he truly was unhappy here, wouldn’t Gu Zuo think of a way of mentioning that he could be brought to Ten Ultimates Sect? At the very least, Gu Zuo could allow Xu Lingxiu to have an easier time in big brother’s manor.

It was just that he needed to properly consider how to bring up this subject.

Gu Zuo slightly hesitated, and probed: “I heard that Prince Zhou attaches great importance to Senior Sect Brother Xu. If senior brother is unhappy in any way, you can just say it directly. There’s no need to make yourself uncomfortable. Since Prince Zhou recruited senior brother, he certainly won’t ignore anything.”

He used very ambiguous words because he was afraid of hurting Xu Lingxiu’s self-esteem. He didn’t dare to speak those words that carried certain insinuations.

Xu Lingxiu wasn’t a stupid person. How couldn’t he be aware of the rumors outside? Of course, he also heard Gu Zuo’s carefully worded meaning. Although he felt uncomfortable thinking about this matter, he understood that this stemmed from Junior Sect Brother Gu’s deep concern.

Following this, he curled his lips: “Zhou Qi? It’s better to just forget about it.”

Gu Zuo: “…”

Senior Sect Brother Xu’s temperament was too hard to deal with. He really didn’t know how he ought to proceed.

Xu Lingxiu saw Gu Zuo’s conflicted appearance, and couldn’t help scoffing: “Okay. You came here this time to find someone to do something. What do you want to do? Take advantage of the fact that I still have some ability, and let me settle it for you.”

Gu Zuo was silent. He felt that it was better to set aside that topic just now. As a result, he directly said: “It’s just that we want to borrow Great Zhou’s teleportation array. Due to some previous matters, we unintentionally travelled very far away. If we return too slowly, it wouldn’t be very appropriate. Thus…”

Xu Lingxiu nodded his head: “So it’s this kind of thing. Anyway, it’s just using the teleportation array. Wait for me to write a message, and it should be settled quickly.”

Gu Zuo was delighted, and said to Xu Lingxiu: “Many thanks, Senior Sect Brother Xu.”

Xu Lingxiu waved a hand: “It’s nothing but a trifle.”

Shortly thereafter, he called out to someone to deliver a brush and some ink. After swiftly writing down the message, he ordered the person to take it and leave. Then, he cleaned his hands, and said: “Where are you guys living nowadays?”

Gu Zuo naturally didn’t hide anything, and honestly said: “It’s a long story. Ever since we came out of the Road of Death, big brother&#k2026;”

Because of the matter with the Third Prince of Zhao, he got separated from big brother. While Gongyi Tianheng went to Ten Ultimates Sect, he was rescued and brought back to the Hu Clan. Later on, the two reunited, and entered Ten Ultimates Sect together. Apart from some details that were unsuitable to talk about, he shared everything else with to Xu Lingxiu in a lively manner.

Once Xu Lingxiu finished listening, he raised an eyebrow: “As it turns out, the new all-star prodigy who appeared in the Ten Ultimates Domain is Junior Sect Brother Gongyi.”

Tianheng faintly smiled at Xu Lingxiu.

Xu Lingxiu shot him a glance: “Junior Sect Brother Gongyi has some skill.”

Tianheng replied: “It just so happened to coincide with the occasion.”

Although Xu Lingxiu held a bit of admiration for Tianheng, the one he really looked upon with importance was Gu Zuo. Just a while ago, amid Gu Zuo’s recounting, he heard many things implying that the two were living harmoniously. Moreover, Tianheng truly did take good care of Gu Zuo. Not to say that all matters both large and small were handled, but Tianheng was thoughtful, considerate, and thorough. It was only natural that Xu Lingxiu would find Tianheng somewhat more pleasing to the eyes.

Merely, he still didn’t initiate any conversation with Tianheng.

Soon after, Xu Lingxiu asked Gu Zuo for some details. While it would be out of the question to say that his words were gentle and soft, everyone present could understand that trace of concern hidden within.

Gu Zuo naturally felt quite warm in his heart. After answering many questions, he suddenly spoke up: “Senior Sect Brother Xu, how about you go to Ten Ultimates Sect with us?” Afraid that Xu Lingxiu would overthink things, he hastily supplemented, “In the manor, you’ll only be a guest or visitor. You won’t be treated as a subordinate.”

Xu Lingxiu stared blankly.

He swept a glance at Tianheng, and discovered that this fellow was only watching Gu Zuo with a smile plastered across his face. By allowing Gu Zuo to speak like this without showing any hints of displeasure, it seemed that Tianheng didn’t resent Gu Zuo for going beyond the sacrificial altar and taking over the kitchen. It appeared that Tianheng also didn’t feel that Gu Zuo caused any offense… From this, it could be seen that the friendship between these two was incredibly profound. It was almost like there was no distinction between what belonged to one person and what belonged to the other.

Xu Lingxiu felt a little strange. But once he saw that Gu Zuo subconsciously treated Tianheng with such intimacy and closeness, he suddenly had a thought.

In the blink of an eye, it was as though he had understood something.

Following this, the gaze that Xu Lingxiu used to look at the two was different.

Unexpectedly, it was like this?

However, this wasn’t a bad thing either.

Meanwhile, Gu Zuo was somewhat eagerly waiting for Xu Lingxiu’s response. However, he found that something wasn’t quite right with this senior brother. Right away, he was bit stumped.

W-what happened?

A slightly low and magnetic voice resounded in Gu Zuo’s mind.

[Senior Sect Brother Xu has probably noticed the feelings of affection between Ah Zuo and this elder brother.]

The base of Gu Zuo’s ears heated up.

Things like affection…

After that, he quietly looked at Xu Lingxiu. Sure enough, he found that Xu Lingxiu really did seem to know something. He suddenly felt greatly embarrassed.

For a time, he also forgot to pursue his line of questions and answers.

The next moment, footsteps could be heard from far away.

A figure arrived with extreme speed, and called out: “Lingxiu’er, I’m here!”

Xu Lingxiu’s expression, which was originally full of interest, abruptly turned gloomy: “Zhou Qi, shut up for me!”

The person who arrived immediately entered the medicine hut. Although his voice was deep, low, and pleasant on the ears, it was carrying a frivolous and coquettish tone: “Lingxiu’er, what will you do if I don’t shut up?”

After that, the figure appeared in front of them.

This person wore a full-body, black changpao with heavy brocade. Like a jade ribbon overlooking the wind, he was elegant, confident, and at ease. His appearance was extraordinarily luxuriant and rather outstanding, but when he smiled, a fierce look flashed through his eyes. It brought about an eccentric and wicked feeling that couldn’t be put into words.

At a glance, one would know that he wasn’t a pushover.

Who could this person have been if not the troubled prodigy Prince Zhou, who was on the Road of Death back then?

Gu Zuo’s mood was quite strange.

Lingxiu’er… What kind of an absurd term of address was that?

No wonder Senior Sect Brother Xu wanted him to shut up.

However, with the bickering between Prince Zhou and Xu Lingxiu, it wasn’t like an ordinary relationship of boss and distinguished guest. Rather, it looked like they were very familiar with each other…

Xu Lingxiu was blocked by Prince Zhou’s words. His expression was unsightly, and the sharp gaze of his eyes was like pinpricks as he looked at Prince Zhou.

However, Prince Zhou acted as though he didn’t notice anything. He only arranged his robes, and sat down like the others. He smiled and said: “I heard that Lingxiu’er’s old friends were coming. As his superior, I wanted to drop by and pay a visit.” His gaze swept over Tianheng and Gu Zuo, “Originally, I thought my underlings misjudged the situation. But now that I’ve had a look, you guys really are old friends.”

Gu Zuo and Tianheng exchanged glances, and nodded their heads: “Prince Zhou, knowing someone by their reputation can’t compare to meeting them in person.”

Prince Zhou raised an eyebrow: “Well said.”

Of course, people who weren’t familiar with each other wouldn’t be able to exchange too many pleasantries. Nevertheless, Gu Zuo composed himself, and spoke to Xu Lingxiu: “Senior Sect Brother Xu, about my suggestion just now…”

Prince Zhou cut into the discussion: “What suggestion? This place is my Great Zhou’s imperial capital. If it’s not considered too difficult, this prince can do it conveniently for Lingxiu’er’s sake.”

Gu Zuo: “…”

Xu Lingxiu shot him a glance: “Junior Sect Brother Gu invited me to be a guest at his place. Is that convenient for you?”

Prince Zhou tidied his sleeves: “Actually, this is difficult for me…”

Xu Lingxiu sneered.

Gu Zuo didn’t understand what he was seeing at all.

Previously, he didn’t think much about it, but what he had heard and seen since coming to Great Zhou made him feel that there seemed to be something between Senior Sect Brother Xu and Prince Zhou.

But when all was said and done, he was also in a relationship with big brother, and there was the example of his dad and father. If these two people really had those kinds of feelings, he wouldn’t be completely blind to it either.

It was just that, based on his perception, the relationship between the two seemed a little odd right now. Although, it also appeared that they weren’t already dating?

The corner of Prince Zhou’s mouth pulled up into a grin: “Lingxiu’er still hasn’t completed that thing for this prince. For the time being, I’m afraid that he can’t leave this prince’s side… As for this matter of being a guest, I’m sorry to say that I will have to disappoint these two gentlemen.”
