The ancient martial arts master traveled through time

Ruan Xiaojiu sat down and poured himself a cup of tea, drank it in one gulp, and replied: "Your illness is quite troublesome to treat, and it may take a long time."

"how long?"

"It's hard to say. It depends on your ability to bear it."

Di Jingchen lowered his eyes and remained silent, without responding.

Ruan Xiaojiu continued, "The blood vessels in your body have been corroded by toxins to a critical point and cannot withstand any movement."

"And my technique can help you get rid of the poison in your body."

Di Jingchen listened carefully and got the answer he wanted. His eyes trembled and his fists clenched slightly, revealing his inner fluctuations.

"However, my technique is too powerful. I'm afraid your body can't handle it. This is the problem right now."

"Can your skills completely cure my illness?" Di Jingchen asked nervously.

"Of course, as long as you don't mind the pain, you'll be healthy in a month or even a year."

When Di Jingchen heard the exact answer, his voice trembled a little: "I can bear it, just detoxify me."

Ruan Xiaojiu sneered.

Di Jingchen was puzzled and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Ruan Xiaojiu casually leaned back in his chair: "You can bear it, but I don't want to!"

Di Jingchen frowned in confusion: "Why?"

"If you want me to detoxify you, show your sincerity. You still have time, so you can take your time to consider it."

"what do you want?"

"It's not about what I want, but what you can give me. I've said before, it depends on your performance and my mood."

Di Jingchen remained silent, lowering his head in thought.

Seeing him lost in thought, Ruan Xiaojiu didn't urge him. Instead, he felt dizzy again, with double vision flashing before his eyes. Fighting back his sleepiness, he called out, "Xiao Cui."

Xiao Cui had been waiting outside, waiting for her own prince to call her at any time. When she heard the prince calling her, she quickly pushed the door open and entered: "What do you want, my prince?"

"Go and prepare a room for this Saint and let him rest."

Xiao Cui glanced at her own prince. Ruan Xiaojiu rubbed her brows. Her inner irritation was about to show, but she suppressed it forcefully.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Turning to Di Jingchen, he said respectfully, "Your Excellency, please come this way."

"I'm tired today. We can talk about it tomorrow. Go back and think about it carefully. If I'm not satisfied, I won't take action."

After saying that, Ruan Xiaojiu walked towards the bed.

Di Jingchen glanced at Ruan Xiaojiu and saw that her face looked bad, so he stood up and left.

Ruan Xiaojiu fell asleep as soon as he lay on the bed, very soundly.

Di Jingchen came to the room Xiao Cui prepared for him and stood by the window in silence for a while.

Cheng Feng knocked lightly on the door: "Holy Lord, I have something to report."

"Enter."

Cheng Feng entered and first glanced at Sheng Zun with resentment: "Sheng Zun, just now the Ninth Prince thought you had escaped and detained several of us in the room and would not let us out..."

Di Jingchen glanced at him indifferently.

Cheng Feng immediately stopped talking and got down to business: "Holy Lord, news came this morning from the Wu Clan that the Saint has evidence of your betrayal and wants to expel you from the Clan as a traitor. He has already begun inciting the tribe to capture you and bring you back for punishment."

Di Jingchen said calmly, "Lu He is just trying to incite suspicion among the tribe members by taking advantage of my absence during my monthly illness." He paused. "What do the tribe leader and elders say?"

"The clan leader is waiting for you to return and wants to hear your explanation. As for the elders, Elder Wu and Elder Zhao agree with the clan leader's opinion, and Elder Fang and Elder Su have already joined the Saint."

Di Jingchen felt no emotion after hearing this. He had done enough to protect the Wu Clan and strengthen it over the years. Since the people of the clan did not trust him, he did not need to explain himself. Taking this opportunity to leave the Wu Clan might not be a bad thing.

"Holy Lord, do you want to go back and take a look?"

On the second day, Xiao Cui came to help Ruan Xiaojiu get up as usual. After entering the room, she found that the bed curtains were still drawn. Thinking that her prince had not slept enough, she left.

After thinking about it last night, Di Jingchen decided to go back. After all, the clan leader was still quite nice to him.

After packing up everything, he came to say goodbye to Ruan Xiaojiu. Xiao Cui told him that his prince had not woken up yet and it was inconvenient to disturb him. He then asked Xiao Cui to tell Ruan Xiaojiu that he would be away for one or two days and would be back in three days at most.

After two more days of rest, Ruan Siqi was able to move freely and was no longer so weak. He wanted to go out for a walk, but was told that they dared not let the princess go out without the prince's order.

Ruan Siqi had no choice but to stay in the room and take out some books and paintings to pass the time.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Cui knocked on Ruan Xiaojiu's room again. Seeing no one answered, she pushed the door open and entered the room. She found that her prince was still sleeping. This time, she didn't think that the prince had not rested well, but that something had happened. She was a little panicked and came to the bed, calling out: "Prince, Prince, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"

Seeing that Ruan Xiaojiu showed no signs of waking up, he cried out in a sobbing voice: "Help, please come quickly, please go get a doctor."

When Xiao Si heard Xiao Cui's anxious instructions, he quickly agreed and ran out to call a doctor.

Ruan Xiaojiu was shaken hard and frowned. He showed signs of waking up, but he could not open his eyes.

In Yayuan, Ruan Siqi heard hurried footsteps outside and asked, "What happened outside?"

Upon hearing the inquiry, Xiao Fuzi hurried out to inquire. After learning the truth, she returned and reported: "The prince has fallen into a deep sleep for some unknown reason."

After hearing this, Ruan Siqi became worried and hurriedly got out of bed, dressed, and went to check it out.

Xiao Fuzi reminded, "The princess is still under house arrest and cannot leave the room."

Ruan Siqi didn't care about that and said hurriedly: "Xiao Jiu is sick, and there are no other masters in the mansion. If I don't go out, will I let her wait for death?"

"I'm leaving today. If she blames me, I'll take the blame alone."

Seeing the princess's insistence, Xiao Fuzi had no choice but to follow. When the guards outside the door stopped her, Xiao Fuzi stood up and said, "The princess is the prince's favorite. You should think carefully. If you insist on stopping her and not letting her out, the princess will complain to the prince. Let's see if you can afford it."

Several people immediately hesitated. They knew the position of the princess in the prince's heart. The house arrest was only temporary, and there was no reduction in food and clothing.

Thinking of this, the guards immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and made way for the two men to leave.

Ruan Siqi and the other person left the room and came to Ruan Xiaojiu's room. They saw Xiao Cui crying and Ruan Xiaojiu lying on the bed motionless.

Ruan Siqi was a little flustered and hurried forward to ask, "What's going on?"

Seeing the princess coming, Xiao Cui seemed to have found her backbone and quickly answered, "I don't know. Usually, the prince doesn't allow anyone to come in and disturb him. I came to call him for dinner this morning, but he was still asleep. I didn't dare wake him up, so I left. After that, I went to do other things. Until now, I was thinking, I was surprised that the prince didn't leave his room all day, so I came in to check. As a result, I saw that he was still asleep. I called a few times, but he didn't wake up."
