Chapter 124: Those two are overtly jealous, this one is covertly jealous.
Old Master Lu immediately decided to adopt Ji Chen as his godson and let Ji Chen stay in the Prime Minister's residence.
When Elder Lu asked Ji Chen his age, Ji Chen "just happened" to give an age older than Lu Yunqi's. So, under Elder Lu's insistence, Lu Yunqi reluctantly called him "sworn brother".
Ji Chen was satisfied. If he didn't have an identity, he would create one for himself. However, Ji Chen dared to fabricate one because he genuinely had the ability to do so.
After the family reunion, Ji Chen took Lu Lao's pulse and discovered that Lu Lao had a serious back injury. He then had a servant buy acupuncture needles and performed a full set of acupuncture on Lu Lao.
After a series of smooth and fluid movements, Old Lu really felt much better in his back, and he believed Ji Chen's words even more.
Ji Chen also said that he could come every day to give his godfather acupuncture and prescribe medicine, and that this would definitely cure the disease.
After hearing this, Lu Lao liked Ji Chen even more. When Shi Chuan entered the Prime Minister's residence, he saw a completely unfamiliar face chatting happily with Prime Minister Lu.
"Prime Minister, General Shi has arrived," the servant who brought Shi Chuan said respectfully.
When Old Master Lu saw the newcomer, his smile widened. "Xiao Chuan is back."
Shi Chuan nodded slightly, "Elder Lu, how have you been?"
Ji Chen turned around and saw Shi Chuan, his pupils contracted slightly, "Shi Chuan?!"
Lu Yunqi, who had been sitting to the side and had been completely invisible, looked up at Ji Chen after hearing his words. What, did he know General Shi?
Shi Chuan was also a little confused. Did this person know him? But he had never seen him before.
Old Lu chuckled and couldn't help but tease, "Xiao Chen, you know Xiao Chuan too."
Ji Chen snapped out of his reverie and smiled. "I've heard of General Shi's reputation, but he doesn't know me."
Lu Yunqi clearly didn't believe his explanation. Although Ji Chen was very good at putting on an act in front of his father, in reality, Ji Chen was a madman.
Where his father couldn't see, Ji Chen would always mutter to himself, telling him that everyone here was fake, while sighing and saying, "Never mind, we're going to stay here for a long time anyway, so let Lu Yunqi continue living like this."
Even after Ji Chen thought he had left, he could still hear Ji Chen talking to himself. Anyone who saw him like that would think Ji Chen was crazy.
For some reason, Lu Yunqi didn't expose him to his father. He felt that Ji Chen meant no harm. Besides, his father had told him about the emperor's drastic change in temperament, and now there was this Ji Chen; perhaps there really was some connection between them...
As for Shi Chuan, he must have come for the emperor's sake as well, right?
Without giving any further thought, Old Master Lu introduced Ji Chen to Shi Chuan, "This is my newly adopted son, named Ji Chen, who is proficient in medicine."
Shi Chuan nodded slightly to Ji Chen as a greeting, and then went to the study with Old Master Lu.
After the two left, Ji Chen revealed his true colors and said to Lu Yunqi in an annoyed tone, "Why didn't you tell me that you knew Shi Chuan?"
Lu Yunqi glanced at him indifferently, "General Shi's reputation is known to all. Haven't you heard of him?"
Ji Chen: "......"
Damn it, he really hadn't heard of it before, and he didn't believe Lu Yunqi hadn't noticed it.
"Have you ever heard of Jing Shu?" Ji Chen changed the subject. Right now, the only person he didn't know was Jing Shu; he had met the others.
Although he didn't know where Immortal Venerable Hanluo was, he had already figured out a way to find him.
Lu Yunqi shook his head. "I've never heard of such a person."
"Okay, I understand." Ji Chen was just asking casually. It's impossible for everyone to be in the capital, right? That would be too much of a coincidence.
"Let's go. Since Godfather has things to do, we should head out too." Ji Chen stretched and beckoned Lu Yunqi to leave together.
Lu Yunqi followed, and said helplessly, "Are you sure your method will really work?"
"Definitely! Immortal Venerable Hanluo's illness is very difficult to treat. If that person had any conscience, he would have come to me." Ji Chen said confidently.
Ji Chen had already asked Lu Yunqi why he bought Han Luo Immortal Venerable when no one was around, but unfortunately Lu Yunqi wouldn't tell him. Correspondingly, he also didn't tell Lu Yunqi why he called Han Luo Immortal Venerable.
Not going to tell? Then don't tell anyone. He can ask Elder Lu about the reason for buying Immortal Venerable Hanluo and his identity in this world later.
While Ji Chen was still working hard to find Han Luo, Han Luo was already living the happiest life she had in decades.
Every day, someone would personally cook for him and then feed him. During his free time in the daytime, Jing Shu would read books and play chess with him. Every now and then, Han Luo would tease Jing Shu, enjoying seeing Jing Shu's face turn red and his expression one of helplessness.
At night, Jing Shu would use his internal energy to raise his body temperature, and then take the initiative to pull him into his arms to warm the bed for him.
Jing Shu's other personality traits would suddenly emerge when they spent time together; he could be domineering at times or childish at others. However, Han Luo was always able to quickly notice these traits and promptly soothe the two who were prone to jealousy.
The way to appease him is simple: just kiss Jing Shu on the cheek. After that, all his jealousy will disappear.
However, after Jing Shu returns to normal, Han Luo will kiss him again—the previous two were overtly jealous, this one is covertly jealous. In a single day, Han Luo can kiss Jing Shu dozens of times.
Aside from having to drink that incredibly bitter herbal medicine, Han Luo was living a very comfortable life.
Until this day, two people suddenly arrived at the mansion...
"Master, I have brought the person." Tian Xin knelt on one knee, his previous nonchalant attitude in front of Tian Xun and the other person gone, and said very seriously.
Jing Shu had already put on a mask before the two arrived, so that no one could see his expression.
After Ji Chen entered, he only glanced up slightly to confirm that Immortal Venerable Hanluo's body had recovered well and there were no signs of being abused before he felt a little relieved.
Ji Chen then lowered his head, pretending to be honest and kind.
"Ji Chen." Jing Shu suddenly called out Ji Chen's name, but his hands did not stop. His hands, with their distinct knuckles, were peeling grapes, and the purple juice stained his fingers, making them look particularly tempting.
Han Luo watched quietly, unable to tell whether it was the grapes or those hands that were so alluring...
While she was still in a daze, the grapes were already brought to Han Luo's lips. Han Luo looked at Jing Shu, opened her mouth and ate the grapes. From an angle that no one else could see, her lips slightly bit Jing Shu's fingertip, and they separated after a brief touch.
After finishing the grape in her mouth, Han Luo looked at Jing Shu, whose ear tips were turning red again, and gently licked her lips. "Delicious."
Now, Jing Shu's ear tips turned completely red.
