Arc 4 Chapter 9 Part 1

In the North, the wind blowing past was bone-chillingly cold. It felt as if a knife was being scraped across one’s face as the wind blew past.

 

Everyone had difficulty in marching on, so they decided to stop and make camp.

 

Su Yun pulled off the fur and removed the organs of the few rabbits that the guards caught. Then, he secretly took some water from his Space and began to cook rabbit soup.

 

This rabbit meat tasted delicious and with the water from the Space on top of that, the fragrances wafted throughout the tent as it finished boiling.

 

Su Yun intentionally picked the most tender part of the rabbit and handed a bowl full of it to Fan Yin, “Fan Yin-Guoshi, fortunately you can take care of Second Brother throughout this journey. This is some of the soup I personally cooked. If you don’t mind, please have some of it.”

 

Su Yun hadn’t seen Su Yichen cook even once in this journey. This move was naturally done in order to make Su Yichen feel ashamed of himself.

 

Going against Su Yun’s expectations, not only did Shen Jiayan’s face not appear ashamed, but instead he looked shocked. It was as if Su Yun had done something treacherous.

 

“Older Brother, the monks have compassion. How could you kill a living being in front of my Shifu and make him eat it?” Shen Jiayan looked at Su Yun with accusation in his eyes, “Or was it because my Shifu offended you and that’s why you treat him like this?”

 

On the contrary, Su Yun had forgotten that there was still this problem. Suddenly, he couldn’t hold the bowl in his hand well, nor could he throw it away. If he could kill Shen Jiayan with his eyes, Shen Jiayan would have died a hundred times by now.

 

“Pardon me, I merely thought that it’s very cold today, so I wanted to offer you some soup to warm you up. However, I didn’t expect that Second Brother would misinterpret my intentions, I—” Su Yun stopped speaking at this point, looking too sad to speak more.

 

Fan Yin lowered his eyes and pulled Shen Jiayan into his arms as he sat down. Still not feeling at ease, he tightly wrapped him in a cloak.

""

 

It was only then did he apathetically look at Su Yun, “This poor monk also wants to know how this poor monk has offended Benefactor Su Yun, to go as far as framing this poor monk time and again. If Benefactor is willing to tell me, you might as well say it frankly.”

 

Su Yun took two steps backwards, with hazy tears pooling in his eyes, “Why does Fan Yin-Guoshi only listen to Second Brother’s words? When did I ever frame Guoshi?”

 

Hearing what he said, Shen Jiayan pulled his head out of Fan Yin’s arms, “That one time in the Imperial Palace.”

 

“It’s true that Fan Yin-Guoshi was drugged, but what makes you think that I did it? Do you have any evidence that can prove that it was me?” Su Yun gritted his teeth and rhetorically asked.

 

His mother used a secret chess piece that has been in the Palace for many years, in order to put the medicinal powder in the candle. After that event, the palace maid was silenced, so fundamentally, it was impossible to obtain the evidence. Su Yun was aware of this bit, therefore he said it boldly and confidently.

 

If Shen Jiayan couldn’t show the proof, he could make a rebuttal and say that the medicine powder was placed there by Shen Jiayan himself. The root cause, would be that Shen Jiayan had long been having filthy thoughts towards the Guoshi and finally acted on them.

 

Shen Jiayan winked, “Older Brother, from the beginning to the present, no one has ever told you that my Shifu was drugged, right?”

 

Shen Jiayan clenched his fist. It was only at this time, did he realize that he had become muddle-headed due to the pair’s affectionate gestures without any regard to others around them. He had even said all these words that he shouldn’t have uttered.

 

Su Yun couldn’t help but glance at Fan Yin.

 

Su Yichen was randomly moving around and Fan Yin immediately properly wrapped the cloak around him. Within those pair of indifferent eyes, it seems that they could no longer contain anyone else in this world except for Su Yichen.

 

It was these unconscious acts of cherishment that sometimes appear more unsightly.

 

Since you only have him in your eyes, I will use my own way to make you remember me. Su Yun violently threw the bowl in his hand to the ground, “Fan Yin, I will wait for the day when you beg me!”

 

After speaking, Su Yun didn’t have the face to continue staying there and went to the tent on the other side of the camp.

 

Fan Yin and Shen Jiayan didn’t eat. Later, there were a large number of Imperial Guards waiting to eat.

They had been eating hard and dried out steamed buns and dried meat the entire journey. They had long wanted to eat something warm, “Many thanks, Young Master Su.”

 

After they expressed their gratitude, they went to the tent with their bowls and heartily ate. They felt that it was so refreshing and delicious, that they couldn’t wait to swallow their tongues along with the soup as well. Finally, not a drop remained from the large pot of soup after it was distributed.

 

There was still less than a day’s journey left to reach Mo City. The next day, no one could get up except for Su Yun, Shen Jiayan and Fan Yin.

 

The Imperial Guards were vomiting and had diarrhea. Their complexion was sallow and they didn’t even have the strength to walk.

 

The spring water in Su Yun’s Space had the effect of detoxifying and nourishing the skin. These guards had been rushing to travel day and night, in addition to having an unhealthy diet. It was inevitable that too many toxins had accumulated in their body.

 

Even when Su Yun had just started using the spring water, he only used it little by little. Each of the guards drank three or four bowls in one go last night. The deficiency couldn’t bear the tonic. It was inevitable that their bodies couldn’t withstand it and it only became counterproductive.

 

Nothing happened to the three people who didn’t drink the soup last night; while each and every person who drank, hated that they couldn’t stay in the latrine pit. It was obvious that there was something wrong with the soup made by Su Yun last night.
