Chapter 404: Chapter 414 Watching Tigers Fight from the Mountain

This was the first time, the first time he spoke to him in such a tone, even though just a few days ago he had been beaten up by him for the sake of that woman, and then made a fool by her, he endured it all for his senior brother’s sake.

Who would have expected that before they found the Youying Pearl, that woman was his senior brother’s life?

But why had they suddenly stopped looking when the Youying Pearl was already within their grasp?

Remembering that Jin Zijin had not come to the military palace yesterday, Yue Rujing’s gaze suddenly darkened.

He exclaimed, "You saw him yesterday? You know his whereabouts, why didn’t you call for me?"

Jin Zijin looked calmly at Yue Rujing’s nearly out-of-control eyes and said, "I did indeed see him, but it was just a chance encounter."

He knew his senior brother would never lie to him, especially not on such important matters of right and wrong.

Thus, Yue Rujing felt somewhat relieved and gently nodded his head.

"Where? I’ll bring people to look for him."

"He might have never been hiding in the city. I came across him on the snowy mountain. He ran away, there’s no need to waste effort searching."

After glancing at Yue Rujing, he added, "As I said just now, there’s no need to look for him for the time being. Since he’s out of control, there’s someone else who is even more eager to find him than us. Instead of deploying such great effort, it’s better to rest first and watch the tiger fight from the mountain."

"..."

Jin Zijin sighed and said, "I’ve been looking for six years, I’m tired, and besides, not searching now is more interesting than searching, isn’t it?"

Suddenly, he realized that he had been enlightened by Youyou.

Yue Rujing suddenly understood as if enlightened and cracked a childish smile, saying, "Senior brother is indeed formidable, I understand now. Hehe, I will let the news of him being in Lingnan spread right now; I wonder if our martial uncle will twist his nose in anger upon hearing that he’s in Lingnan.

A woman medic of Four Pillars Pure Yin was in our hands, and now, the leader of the Sun-Moon Medics is in my territory. I wonder if he will dare to commit the great taboo and make a move against Lingnan Marquis Residence?"

Jin Zijin felt both amused and exasperated as he said, "Stirring up such big trouble? Aren’t you afraid your father will beat you?"

"How could that be trouble? Seizing the opportunity to weaken Yu Jizi’s power, my father couldn’t wish for more."

After his self-satisfaction, Yue Rujing looked at Jin Zijin again and frowned. My senior brother is as gentle as jade, such a good man will have to spend more days in the hands of that malicious woman.

"Alright, I need to return early today."

If he knew what his senior brother was going back to do, he would vomit blood in frustration.

Last time after picking lotuses on the snowy mountain, although Gu Youyou had not developed a cold toxin, her feet, which were farthest from her heart, had turned into red lumps like pig’s trotters, and walking was now somewhat difficult.

It was her own fault; feeling guilty on the way down the mountain, she refused to let Jin Zijin carry her and insisted on walking by herself; moreover, her shoes had leaked. The cold, piercing snow water that flowed into her shoes had frozen her feet numb.

Upon returning home, Jin Zijin had kept a stern face as he boiled hot water for her to soak her feet, holding her in his arms all night, warming her, fearing she’d get cold again.

Not being moved would be a lie, for instance, right now, he was patiently washing her feet with a medicinal liquid he had prepared from herbs.

For her, with her small delicate feet, his hand seemed very big, capable of wrapping around her foot completely. He patiently washed with the medicinal liquid, then patiently applied the medicated ointment. This wasn’t the first time he had washed her feet; during times when she was severely ill, he had taken care of her in the same way. Watching the top of his head as he bowed down, she found herself lost in a trance.

In two lifetimes put together, only he had ever treated her this way.
