Chapter 6, The Witty Lord Cui

If Zheng Ziwen were awake, he would certainly be able to easily see through the Taoist's pretentiousness, but Cui Gui is different

Butler Cui An originally intended to say "resurrecting the dead"; although his rationality forced him to change his words, the unknown fear in his heart remained unchanged.

Zheng Ziwen, the master said he would let you go over once you wake up

In just a few minutes, Cui Gui experienced a rollercoaster of emotions—anxiety, sorrow, anger, and fear—leading to a sense of emotional instability.

Listening to Zheng Ziwen's indistinct murmurs, Cui Gui furrowed his brows

What does it mean to die and then come back to life? Who else owes him something?

Who did he ask to return Yinyin to him? Does he dare to challenge the King of Hell for his life?

He is increasingly admiring his own intelligence and cleverness

Zheng Ziwen has fallen ill

Cui Gui smiled as he twirled his beard, remaining silent with a smile

Old Master, Miss has come to life!

Cui Gui suddenly recalled the words spoken to him by the Taoist priest he had invited from the temple

His own daughter had actually exhausted her life force; drowning was merely fate. However, Zheng Ziwen broke his daughter's "fate" and then mouth-to-mouth resuscitated her with "life force," thus bringing his daughter back to life.

His trembling voice revealed the fear within him, but Cui Gui showed no reaction; he merely stood there in a daze, his eyes unfocused, making a sound of "uh uh" with his mouth agape

Yes, my lord

Yin Yin has truly come back to life

The master truly lives up to the reputation of being the incarnation of the Star of Literature, it is truly remarkable

Butler Cui looked at his master with eyes full of admiration

When he walked into the main hall and saw Cui Gui sitting upright at the front, he finally remembered.

On that evening, Zheng Ziwen, who had caught a chill, developed a high fever. After the doctor left, Cui Guiping, with a serious expression, dismissed all the servants and personally kept watch by Zheng Ziwen's bedside

If it were in the past, Cui Gui would certainly have looked down upon his current behavior, but now it is different

The little girl rushed into Zheng Ziwen's arms, crying loudly as if to vent all the fear within her. Seeing the little girl who was heartbroken and crying, Zheng Ziwen immediately revealed a smile of relief

There is an idiom called "the fate has run its course," which essentially conveys the same meaning.

He was originally a poor scholar, lacking both exercise and proper nutrition. This time, not only did he endure the cold wind, but he also jumped directly into icy water, and naturally, his body could not withstand it

Ah!

Return ... ... to me ... ... return ... ... to me ... ...

His own daughter has been brought back to life because of the person before him, but that person is now suffering from a high fever. Even the doctor does not know when they will return to normal. What if the fever damages their brain?

Fortunately, Zheng Ziwen's fever subsided in the middle of the night. When he woke up the next morning and opened his eyes, he saw a face full of wrinkles.

Zheng Ziwen trembled all over, cold sweat instantly flowed down along his jawline, and he cautiously asked: "May I ask what the master is referring to?"

I seem to have forgotten something very important, but what could it be

Of course, Cui Gui did not think that way. In his view, a person who is not clear-headed cannot lie, and Zheng Ziwen's nonsensical talk precisely corroborated his thoughts

After speaking, he took the offering and left gracefully, which left Cui Gui with many doubts in his heart

Could it be that they are settling accounts after the autumn? What should I do? Well, I might as well treat a dead horse as if it were alive, or perhaps just pretend that I know nothing at all

Butler Cui An also opened his mouth wide, his teeth chattering, his whole body trembling, and Cui Gui's gaze became dazed once again

People in this era generally believe that a person's breath is limited in quantity, which means that you can only take a certain number of breaths in your lifetime; once you have exhausted that number, you will die

Ah ... ... I have died ... ... I have come back to life ... ...

Wuwu... Yinyin is so scared... Wuwu...

Master Cui, I have already come to understand the background and consequences of this matter. Alas, it is fate, it is destiny; the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. I shall say no more on this matter. I take my leave now

Return to me ... ... give ... ... Yinyin ... ... return to me ... ...

It is important to understand that winter in Guanzhong is no joke

Oh!

He never considered that the two of them catching a fever was due to their weak constitution and exposure to the cold, and Zheng Ziwen's nonsense was merely nonsense after all

Zheng Ziwen, you are quite impressive

Zheng Ziwen blinked his eyes and secretly thought to himself: "I have at least saved his daughter; even if there is no gratitude, he surely wouldn't repay kindness with enmity, would he?"

The speaker is Cui An. Although his left cheek still bears some bruising, at this moment he is wearing a broad smile, which instantly rouses Zheng Ziwen, who had been feeling somewhat dazed.

The surrounding maids and servants retreated one after another, and in their astonished gazes, the small figure lying on the ground suddenly opened its eyes and then began to cry out loudly

Due to the "inspiration" from the Taoist priest, Cui Gui arrived at such a conclusion

Zheng Ziwen felt that being afraid at this moment was futile; it was better to face it calmly. Moreover, with his own intelligence and talent, there was no reason he could not handle this "ancient relic" that was over a thousand years older than himself

Perfectly interpreted, flawless, truly clever

Just as he was lost in thought, Cui Gui spoke up

Although Cui Gui in front of me still had the same serious demeanor as before, the bruise on his left cheek, which was similar to that of Cui An, was particularly conspicuous

He certainly did not come to take care of Zheng Ziwen; his purpose is rather difficult to understand, which is to listen to Zheng Ziwen speak nonsense

His brows furrowed tighter and tighter. Just as Cui Gui picked up the towel from the bedside to help him wipe the sweat, he noticed that Zheng Ziwen, who had originally closed his eyes, revealed a slit of his eyes, and his voice became clearer.

Cui Gui was taken aback, suddenly stepping back two paces, his face filled with disbelief

This guy was dealt with so severely by me yesterday, yet today he can still smile at me like a blooming flower. His depth of character is truly remarkable; it seems I need to be more cautious of him in the future

Therefore, one can only hope to obtain some useful information from the other party's nonsense

Just as he was about to raise his hand to gently stroke the little girl's head to comfort her, he realized that his hand was no longer under his control. A wave of dizziness struck him, and darkness enveloped his vision as he suddenly lost consciousness

As Zheng Ziwen followed Cui An into the main hall, he felt that sense of unease growing stronger.

Yesterday, driven by a surge of momentum, Zheng Ziwen knocked out Butler Cui and Old Master Cui with two punches, leaving him somewhat startled and apprehensive

Cui An, you must take good care here. This person is connected to the young lady's fate, and not a single mistake can be tolerated. Do you understand

With this thought, the pressure in his heart suddenly vanished, and his entire demeanor changed accordingly, causing Cui Gui's eyes to instantly brighten

Because they have shared their own vital energy, the two individuals' energies are connected; otherwise, why would they both have a fever together
