Chapter 93 Is he really not my senior brother?
[Actually in Yunshan?]
Zhai Rongyu suddenly recalled the time he encountered Jun Ce in Yunshan. He figured that Jun Ce must have just come out of Medicine King Valley at that time.
She said, "How could I have run into him in this godforsaken place?"
"Wait for me a moment, I'll go tell my sister."
Jun Ce nodded.
He followed Zhai Rongyu into the Taoist temple, and upon seeing the courtyard full of medicinal herbs, a sense of familiarity arose spontaneously.
He almost thought he had entered Xue Qingchuan's courtyard.
Zhai Rongyu entered the room and said to Zhai Muling, "Sister, I'm going to visit a patient with Brother Huaixu. You'll be staying in Yunshan alone, so please don't go down the mountain!"
[It's hard to guarantee that the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince won't track them down here.]
With my current mental strength, I can only maintain this barrier for ten days.
However, this should be enough for a round trip to Medicine King Valley.
As long as my sister doesn't go down the mountain on her own before I get back, it's fine.
Zhai Muling peeked out at Jun Ce outside the courtyard, then looked at Zhai Rongyu, a playful glint in her eyes.
When did these two get so close?
She smiled and said gently, "Yes, Rong'er, don't worry, I'll wait for you to come back here."
"You and the Regent can go in peace."
With the regent in charge, Rong'er was very reassured about her safety.
Zhai Rongyu nodded, then took Shuang'er and left with Jun Ce.
The group arrived at a valley in Yunshan.
Zhai Rongyu stood in front of the towering cliff and saw Jun Ce use his inner strength to strike a spot on the cliff.
The wall sank inward, revealing a cave in front of everyone.
They crawled inside, and the cliff face immediately restored itself.
After passing through a narrow tunnel, the group arrived at a secret chamber. They then went through several stone doors before finally reaching a cave entrance.
[Tsk, Medicine King Valley is really well hidden.]
[If an ordinary person came in, they would most likely die from these switches.]
Even if they don't die, these secret chambers will keep them wandering around for a while.
Jun Ce placed the jade pendant into a recessed hole near the entrance of the cave. The cave slowly opened, and sunlight suddenly poured in.
Zhai Rong covered her eyes with her hands, and only after her eyes adjusted to the light did she emerge from the cave, where she witnessed a strange sight.
Both she and Shuang'er opened their eyes wide.
Before your eyes lies a deep valley, the ground covered with all sorts of magical herbs, each with a different color and shape.
The sky was high and the clouds were wide, and a few birds flew by leisurely.
Among several towering trees, a waterfall cascades down, flowing into a pool of clear spring water where fish chase and play, and the sounds of animals and birds fill the air.
Because of the abundant spiritual energy, the entire valley seemed to be filled with shimmering lights.
"Miss, this place is so beautiful..."
Shuang'er sighed.
The clouds in the sky had so many colors!
Zhai Rongyu also looked around this land, brimming with spiritual energy, with some curiosity.
Jun Ce led them through the valley and finally arrived at a stone tablet with the words "Medicine King Valley" engraved on it.
So this is Medicine King Valley.
[This is truly a wonderful place.]
The place is brimming with spiritual energy; it seems either a highly skilled person resides there, or a magical artifact of immortality is present.
Xue Qingchuan sensed someone entering the valley and came out to see Jun Ce with a beautiful young girl who looked like an immortal.
"Huai Xu, you're here." This was the first time I'd seen him bring a woman in.
Xue Qingchuan went to greet him, somewhat puzzled.
"Who is this?"
He looked at Zhai Rongyu, his voice clear and gentle, like a stream washing away the dust.
Shuang'er looked in the direction of the sound.
The man before them stood tall, draped in a snow-white fox fur coat.
Silver hair and snow-white skin, a face like beautiful jade, and light-colored pupils that are far-reaching and gleam with a soft light.
He had a gentle smile, yet he gave off an unapproachable and aloof feeling.
Shuang'er was stunned for a moment.
My God!
There is such a handsome man in the world...
Seeing Shuang'er swooning over her crush, Zhiying tugged at the foxtail grass in his mouth and snorted disdainfully.
"Rong'er, this is Xue Qingchuan, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley." Jun Ce shook his dry palms and introduced him to Zhai Rongyu.
His dark, star-like eyes were fixed on Zhai Rongyu, and he even held his breath slightly.
Everyone says that the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley is unparalleled in appearance, and any ordinary woman would fall in love with him at first sight.
I wonder how Rong'er will react if she sees this.
Zhai Rong looked up and saw Xue Qingchuan standing in front of her. After seeing his face clearly, her almond-shaped eyes widened suddenly:
"Senior brother?!"
She was both surprised and delighted, and took two steps forward in disbelief. Tears instantly welled up in her eyes, blurring her vision.
"Senior brother... Senior brother..."
Is it really you?
She looked up at Xue Qingchuan, her eyes reddening, her voice trembling with a hint of grievance.
"I knew you wouldn't leave me here alone..."
"Senior brother... Waaah..."
Tears streamed down her face as her slender fingers gripped Xue Qingchuan's fox fur coat.
Just as she was about to bury her face in his, she smelled a faint medicinal fragrance emanating from him, and Zhai Rongyu let go of his hand in a daze.
This isn't the taste of my senior brother...
Could it be that he...?
She looked at Xue Qingchuan with some confusion, and saw a flash of astonishment in his eyes as well.
Jun Ce's heart sank suddenly.
The image of her, drunk that day, clinging tightly to me, calling out "Senior Brother" in her heart, flashed through my mind.
The ice in his eyes quickly condensed, piercing his heart like a sharp cone.
Are she and her senior brother really that close...?
Seeing that Jun Ce exuded a murderous aura, Xue Qingchuan quickly explained, "Miss, you've mistaken me for someone else."
"I have never seen you before, so how can I be your senior brother?"
The clear, melodious voice, like water hitting rocks, pulled Zhai Rongyu back to reality.
"Never seen anything like it before..."
Realizing her lapse in composure, she murmured and took a few steps back.
Yes, what brings my senior brother here?
He just looks like his senior brother.
[My senior brother doesn't have silver hair either...]
"I'm sorry, I was in a hurry and mistook you for someone else." Zhai Rongyu took a deep breath, wiped away the tears on her face, and said somewhat apologetically, "I have offended Valley Master Xue, please forgive me."
"It's alright." Xue Qingchuan smiled gently at her.
Shuang'er and Zhiying had witnessed what had just happened and looked at each other in surprise.
The lone figure even removed the foxtail grass from its mouth.
"Come in and talk." Xue Qingchuan led everyone into the courtyard.
Zhai Rongyu sat down in the chair, her dark pupils still quietly scrutinizing Xue Qingchuan, looking slightly lost in thought.
How could people in this world be so alike?
Those eyes, that nose, and that mouth...
Even their pupils are the same color...
Is he really not the senior student?
If so, why won't you acknowledge me?
Zhai Rong thought about it over and over, but something just didn't seem right.
She scratched her hair in frustration.
Jun Ce took in her subtle movements, his eyes flickered, and a thousand thoughts raced through his mind, a hint of jealousy burning within him.
