Endure humiliation and bear heavy responsibilities

  Endure humiliation and bear heavy responsibilities

  People in Jianghu would change their expression when mentioning a place, that is Cang Lai Peak.

  Cang Li Peak, as the name suggests, is actually just an ordinary small mountain peak, located not far from Die Zhai. What's extraordinary about it is that in just ten years, this quiet place has produced five unparalleled masters and countless chivalrous warriors.

  Perhaps some people will feel puzzled, since they are chivalrous scholars, why would they make the rivers and lakes people change color when talking about them?

  This is because Cang Lai Peak is not just a small mountain peak, it's also the place where people in the Jianghu and even the imperial court sell or buy intelligence. In other words, as long as you are in the Jianghu, there will be something that can be used against you or some secret that Cang Lai Peak has grasped.

  Such a place is enough to make all the rivers and lakes people both hate and love. Ji Jingchen's master, Xuanxuzi, is the second generation and current leader of Cangli Peak, while Xi Kong's master, Tianji Daochang, who is also Xuanxuzi's master, is the founder of Cangli Peak.

  Xikong hadn't originally planned on letting Jijing Chen know about the connection between them so soon, but for Luotian's sake, Xikong couldn't think that much anymore.

  Ji Jingchen's hand held the "Six Changes of Wind Sickness", and he only felt that this book was heavy. He didn't know why, but he always felt that he had exchanged Luo Tian for this secret book. However, the temptation of this book was really great, so Ji Jingchen's idea was just a flash in the pan, and did not have any impact on his behavior.

  Luotian was very curious about Ji Jingchen's sudden change in attitude towards Xi Kong. He knew too well that Ji Jingchen was a person who loved and hated with equal intensity, so Luotian couldn't understand what method Xi Kong had used to get Ji Jingchen to accept him.

  Xikong didn't want to let Luotian know too much, so he said nothing; while Jijingchen was absolutely unwilling to let Luotian know that he had to call Xikong "Master", which was too embarrassing, so he also said nothing.

  Luo Tian was originally not a person with an overly strong curiosity, and he didn't even care to know.

  The next day after breakfast, Xi Kong said to Luo Tian, "The old lady of the Prime Minister's family has fallen ill suddenly, and no one can cure her. This is an opportunity."

  Ji Jing looked at Xi Kong with a puzzled expression, thinking that Xi Kong would think of ways to make Luo Tian stay.

  Xī Kōng naturally hoped that Luó Tiān could stay by his side, but the situation outside was very turbulent. Luó Tiān would only be safest when staying in the most dangerous place. Moreover, what Xī Kōng had to do next was very important, and he couldn't afford to be distracted because of consideration for Luó Tiān.

  Luotian rubbed his hair, very worried, "The Prime Minister's mansion has always invited imperial physicians to see a doctor, hasn't it? Even the imperial physician can't cure the disease, what can I do?" Luotian had indeed read many medical books, but he had never practiced before, and naturally had no confidence.

  Xikong took out a pill and handed it to Luotian, "Give this pill to the old lady and she'll be fine."

  Luo Tian suddenly opened his eyes wide in disbelief and stared at Xi Kong, "Was it Brother Xi who poisoned the old lady?"

  "It's just a kind of drug that makes you feel lethargic and drowsy all day, it won't harm people's bodies."

  "I understand."

  Luo Tian put away the antidote and instructed Ji Jingchen a few more words before preparing to head to the Prime Minister's estate.

  Xiqong gave Ji Jingchen a look, telling him to leave, then asked Luo Tian, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

  "Ah?" Luo Tian suddenly became very tense, "That, thank you Xi..."

  Xī kōng dǎ duàn luò tiān, "wǒ bù xiǎng tīng nàxiē gǎnxiè de huà."

  Translation:

  Xi Kong interrupted Luo Tian, "I don't want to hear those words of gratitude."

  Luo Tian thought for a moment, but really didn't know what to say.

  "Never mind." Xi Kong said in a low voice, "I shouldn't have forced you."

  Seeing Xi Kong's dejected appearance, Luo Tian really felt like he had done something terribly wrong. But what exactly did Xi Kong want to hear, he truly didn't know, and he also didn't dare ask.

  Xī kōng walked closer to Luo Tian and couldn't help but hug him into his arms.

  Plop plop...

  Luo Tian nodded, this was his own heartbeat, but it was different from his usual heartbeat, why?

  Embracing Luo Tian's suddenly stiff body, Xi Kong controlled himself not to make any moves that would scare him away.

  After a simple hug, Xi Kong let go of Luo Tian and reminded him, "Be careful with everything."

  Luotian mechanically nodded his head, but in fact he didn't hear what Xikong said at all, because his ears were still filled with the sound of his own heartbeat.

  He probably got sick, thought Luo Tian.

  Perhaps he was too ill, Luo Tian had no idea when and how he arrived at the entrance of the Prime Minister's mansion again.

  By the time Luo Tian reacted, the notice of the high-priced reward for the doctor had already been torn down by him. At the same time, Luo Tian saw that next to the wanted poster was a warrant for his own arrest.

  The portrait of Luo Tian on the wanted poster was so different from his real self that Xi Kong didn't suggest he disguise himself.

  For some reason, Luo Tian stubbornly believed that the portrait had been tampered with by Xi Kong. Otherwise, how could those officials who had seen him before put this portrait on the wanted list? Wasn't this equivalent to committing the crime of deceiving the emperor?

  Luo Tian couldn't think much, the guards of the Prime Minister's mansion saw the wanted notice being torn down and quickly took Luo Tian to the Prime Minister's mansion.

  For the doctor who came to save his life, ordinary people should treat him with courtesy. Unfortunately, the prime minister's mansion was not an ordinary place, and those guards were also used to being arrogant, so they naturally had a very rude attitude towards Luo Tian.

  Moreover, Luo Tian was not directly brought before the prime minister, but was instead locked in a room by the guards for a basic body search.

  After hearing the news that he was going to be searched, Luo Tian almost went crazy. Stripping a person naked to check for harmlessness was something that had been done many times in Luojiazhuang, but Luo Tian had never thought that one day it would happen to himself, and now it seemed like what goes around comes around.

  Watching his several guards slowly closing in on him, Luo Tian's heart was filled with extreme conflict.

  Reason told Luo Tian that he couldn't resist, he had to swallow his pride for the sake of Luo Family Village. But Luo Tian really couldn't imagine whether he could hold back his desire to hit those guards when they put their hands on him.

  It would be great if Xi Ge were here at this time. Luo Tian didn't understand why he thought so, but he did think that way.

  "Wait a minute!" Luo Tian shouted, "No need to trouble you guys, I can take it off myself."

  Luotian thought about it and decided that since he couldn't avoid this calamity, he might as well be generous and act like a real man, rather than being timid and awkward which would only make people laugh.

  After a long sigh, Luo Tian steeled himself and reached for his own clothes, starting to take off his shirt.
