Chapter 864: Chapter 858: No More Medicine for Him

Having said that, he turned to the young tauist boy who was driving the carriage.

"Is the water all loaded?"

"It’s all loaded, Master." The little tauist boy replied earnestly with a smile.

He only recognized his Master, he didn’t recognize any of those strange people.

He didn’t know what his Master was planning to do, but from the few words he overheard, it seemed like his Master was helping them, and that woman couldn’t bear to let her son suffer, as if she wanted to go back on her word?

Hmph, he was determined to listen to his Master and only trust his Master. The person in the carriage was highly skilled in martial arts and troublesome. How else could they take him away without doing this?

What a hassle.

"Let’s set off then," Yu Jizi told the tauist boy.

"Yes, Master." The tauist boy climbed onto the horse carriage.

Sitting atop the carriage, the tauist boy then addressed You Jiang, who was blocking the way, "Uncle, could you please step aside? We still need to continue our journey."

You Jiang reluctantly moved to the side, watching helplessly as Yu Jizi took Jin Ziyuan away.

Madam Ru climbed onto the carriage and continued to sob quietly. You Jiang tried to comfort her, "Madam, there’s no turning back for us now. If it weren’t for the State Preceptor’s protection, we would have all died over a decade ago. Since we have trusted him for so many years, why not trust him one more time?"

Madam Ru nodded her head, wiped away her tears, and said, "Let’s catch up. It wasn’t easy to receive news about the Prince. We must now go and retrieve the Prince’s remains."

On the carriage ahead, the tauist boy who was driving furrowed his eyebrows.

Why are they following us? Didn’t Master make it very clear?

"Master, they are following us," he said.

Yu Jizi, without opening his eyes and continuing his meditation, replied, "Let them follow."

Tauist boy: Alas! Master is always so kind-hearted. If it were up to him, he would drive them away harshly, or simply not help them at all.

At night, they stopped at a small town, and Madam Ru’s carriage that was following also stopped in the same town.

There was only one inn in the small town with less than ideal conditions, so they had to stay in the same inn.

The tauist boy brought the medicine that Jin Ziyuan was supposed to drink, and Yu Jizi, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the bed, opened his eyes.

"Let’s not give him the medicine tonight," he said.

The tauist boy was stunned, "Master, what if he wakes up and runs away during the night?"

"It’s alright, I will keep an eye on him personally. He won’t be able to escape."

Wouldn’t that mean Master can’t sleep?

The tauist boy became worried, "Master, we have to continue our journey tomorrow, and you are getting on in years, you should rest properly. Maybe your disciple should watch him for you."

"No." Yu Jizi said, "I’m old enough that I don’t need to sleep. Go to sleep yourself. You’ve been driving the carriage all day, and you need to continue tomorrow."

The tauist boy respected his Master greatly; his Master was truly good to him. He would never defy his Master, so he could only nod and take the bowl of thick black medicine out with him.

In the middle of the night, Jin Ziyuan indeed woke up.

He felt confused; where was he, and how had he ended up here?

In an instant, he saw Yu Jizi sitting across from him, his eyes closed, sitting still like a statue, with no sound of breathing, motionless.

Looking at Yu Jizi, the cause of his inhuman suffering, hatred was the only thing in his heart. Jin Ziyuan drew a short sword, intending to pierce it into Yu Jizi. But after taking only a few steps, he stopped and leapt out of the room.

At the moment he left, Yu Jizi opened his eyes, his expression a mix of a smile and not a smile, and heaved a sigh.

"Why bother, honestly!"
