Chapter 56: Enough is Enough
A cultivator stepped into the room and placed a gift box on the table. He then said, “Young Master Xu Du had accidentally injured you, and he feels terribly remorseful about it, Junior Nephew Wei. He had specially sent one hundred taels of immortal silver as an apology.”
Zhang Sheng’s face darkened, but a familiar voice came from outside before he could explode, “Wei Yuan! I heard you got stabbed?”
Her voice always preceded herself, and her mouth always touched a sore spot before it did anything else. It was, of course, his Big Senior Sister.
Ji Liuli entered the sick ward like a storm. When she saw Zhang Sheng, her eyes lit up in an imperceptible fashion before returning to normal. Then, she picked up the gift box and gave it a little lift. “A hundred taels of immortal silver! That’s too much! Tell your young master that our Wei Yuan isn’t worth this much. Next time, a tael or two is enough to convey his apology.”
The cultivator’s attitude changed dramatically. While wearing an obsequious smile on his face, he said, “Big Senior Sister Ji, my young master has always treated you with respect, hasn’t he? Besides, this matter has nothing to do with you…”
Ji Liuli said flatly, “No one asked for your opinion, messenger. Just do your job. Now get lost!”
The cultivator didn’t dare to say anything else. He left with his tail half-tucked between his legs.
After he was gone, Ji Liuli took a seat next to Wei Yuan and gave his muscles a squeeze. “Eh, it’s just a minor wound. Yep, you would already be healed if your healer didn’t sprinkle a little too much powder. Oh right, I heard that the lass from the Bao Clan took a hit for you? What happened between you two? How on earth did you manage to swindle her, you, you! Wait—you didn’t do it already, did you? How many times?!”
His Big Senior Sister was a gossiper alright. Not only had she rushed over in a hurry, she knew more than Zhang Sheng himself.
