Chapter 378: Chapter 378: Outwitting Whom
"You are the girl I’ve guarded all my life, not knowing why, the concealment in your brow deeply pains my heart. I only wish I could support everything for you, to let you live without worry, laughing brightly!"
Pain at its extreme, Chu Yu leaned against the cold wall, murmuring to himself.
Thinking of Yun Jinnian made him feel much better.
Such hatred.
Why didn’t he confess to her, tell her that his heart was delighted by her, wanting to watch her grow up in the light, to marry her as his wife.
"My beloved girl, where are you, do you, like me, ache with longing for you!"
"Stop your whining, every day it’s the same thing, for over a dozen days, aren’t you tired of it? I’m sick of it!"
A roar came from the neighboring cell, followed by a man getting up and looking at Chu Yu, "If you miss your little woman that much, just go out and find her!"
Chu Yu gave him a glance, "Easy for you to say. Now, I’ve been poisoned, all my Martial Arts gone; I can’t even think about leaving, let alone get out of this cell!"
Having said that, Chu Yu was about to start wailing again.
"Stop howling, you’re a grown man. Aren’t you ashamed?"
"Ashamed, ashamed of what? If I don’t howl now, once I’m dead, I won’t be able to at all!"
The man was truly annoyed but couldn’t do anything about Chu Yu, so he cooped up in the cell, listening to Chu Yu’s continued wailing.
Until he really couldn’t take it anymore, he spoke in a dark voice, "You little brat, stop shouting, I’ll figure out a way to let you out!"
"It’s no use going out, I haven’t cured the poison yet!" Chu Yu was still unmoved.
Ready to continue howling.
This strange old man in the neighboring cell had been there since Chu Yu’s arrival; he had seen him eat centipedes raw and sneak out without anyone noticing.
That’s why he had started howling.
To take a gamble.
Now, it seemed he had gambled correctly.
"You, come here!"
At these words, Chu Yu hooked his lips and slowly moved to the old man’s side, stretching out his hand.
The old man looked at Chu Yu with disdain, "Well, you do have a handsome face." He raised his hand to take Chu Yu’s pulse.
"Eh?"
He took the pulse again more carefully, "Ah!"
How could this be?
This young man...
Chu Yu watched the old man, "How is it?"
"Have you been poisoned before?"
"Yes, yes, whenever the poison acted up, I would desire that, that something; but later, I detoxified!" Chu Yu said, a small sense of pride in his voice.
His Jinnian was just that amazing.
"Who detoxified you?" the old man asked hurriedly and was extremely surprised.
Because the poison was cured very cleanly, even the focus of the disease was completely cleared.
"A young girl. Let me tell you, she was unparalleled in medical skills at the age of twelve!" Chu Yu spoke of Yun Jinnian with sheer pride.
The old man frowned tightly upon hearing this, "Impossible!"
No one could surpass his eldest martial sister.
"How is it impossible? My Jinnian is just that incredible. You’ll know once you meet her!"
Chu Yu said, but then he started to worry about Yun Jinnian again.
It had been so many days; he wondered if she had been found by Madam Qian and the others, if the snowy mountain was too cold for her, if she was freezing, starving...
Suddenly, the old man stood up, turned open the prison door, stepped out of the cell, and then unlocked the iron chains of Chu Yu’s cell door, "Get out!"
"But I haven’t been detoxified yet!"
The old man threw a bottle to Chu Yu, "Eat this!"
Chu Yu hesitated for a moment, picked up the bottle, poured out a pill and swallowed it, feeling a fiery sensation throughout his body, terribly uncomfortable.
"What did you give me?"
"A strong poison, it can temporarily suppress the poison in your body. Wait for your Jinnian to detoxify you. Didn’t you say she’s formidable? I really want to see just how formidable she is!"
