Inside Sanqing Temple, everyone was stunned.
Their eldest disciple brother had brought back a woman, and she was not just any woman but doctor Gu Youyou, who had once treated their master.
"What happened to doctor Gu?"
The young disciples respected Gu Youyou immensely; she was a doctor with extraordinary medical skills who had treated their master before.
Everyone had seen clearly what happened at the battle at Tianmen Mountain. Back then, their master was well and not mad.
It must have been doctor Gu who cured him. If not for doctor Gu curing their master’s mind, they would have been disastrously defeated in that battle.
Fortunately, it ended in a draw with both sides battered.
Jin Zijin stopped behind Yue Rujing, who glared at a loquacious disciple and said, "It’s none of your business. Go do whatever you’re supposed to be doing. If you’re really that bored, go next door and find some trouble."
The disciples of Tianzong and Xuanzong lived in Sanqing Temple, separated only by a wall.
The fact that people who were fiercely fighting before now were only divided by a wall, which remained intact, was nothing short of miraculous.
Yue Rujing continued to follow closely but just as he was about to step into Qianyuan Hall, he was stopped by the sound of a door slamming shut.
Stunned by the rebuff, Yue Rujing paused briefly before starting to question himself.
"What the hell was I following for?"
He felt like he was being bullied.
Behind him, a crowd of bright-faced young disciples stretched their necks. Yue Rujing, annoyed, said, "What are you looking at? Go about your business."
Though the spanking was painful, it didn’t damage any bones, just some flesh wounds.
His buttocks were extremely sore.
Now, Gu Youyou was grimacing in pain.
And it was incredibly embarrassing.
"Hey, can you not pull down my pants? Call Searcy."
They were just chatting under the covers, and having him apply medicine to her buttocks was truly making her feel like finding a hole to crawl into.
If this were her patient, she would have utterly despised them but now that she was the patient...
Jin Zijin’s expression was grim as he pulled away her hand, saying, "Had I known it would come to this, why did I ever?"
"You’ve become more and more squeamish."
Then, he still pulled down her pants.
Fine, just imagine there’s a seasoned doctor behind her.
Her rear felt cool, but he hadn’t moved yet.
Gu Youyou, with her eyes shut, lay on the bed trying to hypnotize herself that this was nothing serious, that the person behind was a doctor and she was just a patient. There was nothing to be embarrassed about.
But why wasn’t he doing anything? Perhaps he was zoning out?
She opened her eyes and turned her head, asking, "How is it?"
Jin Zijin replied indifferently, "It’s nothing serious, just some swelling, no real harm. I’ll apply some anti-inflammatory medicine for you!"
The process of applying the medicine was even more embarrassing. Gu Youyou’s face turned as red as her buttocks.
Luckily, nobody made a fuss anymore. After the medicine was applied and her clothes were tidied, they covered her with a blanket.
They had to face the matter of the Jade Pendant.
Jin Zijin sat opposite her, straightened her face towards him, and asked, "Why did you bring that jade pendant back?"
"It was cheap, why not bring it back? I only spent ten Silver pieces." Gu Youyou didn’t know how to explain, so she simply dodged the question.
"What do you plan to do now with that jade pendant?" He already knew, but Gu Youyou was more concerned about the consequences.
"Why didn’t you tell the truth even when you were spanked?" Jin Zijin asked her again.
Gu Youyou hesitated, then said, "I don’t know what you’re thinking. I was scared..."
