i Zhao's meaning at once. She gave Sun Jingyan a thoughtful glance, and for no clear reason felt a twinge of envy, though her face showed nothing but ease. "Sister Jingyi is Uncle Qing's daughter, so she's the same as my own sister." "That's right, that's right! Sister Yaoyao's sister is Xiaoshu's sister," Shen Yushu said cheerfully. Whatever Gu Mengyao accepted, she never opposed. "But why did you go into the bathroom to heal? Wu Chengtian said the two of you went to take a lovers' bath?" Though Gu Mengyao had accepted Sun Jingyan in her heart, curiosity still nagged at her, and she asked as casually as though it were nothing. "It's like this—Jingyi's healing requires a medium..." Wei Zhao made no attempt to hide it, and explained to Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu, Wu Chengtian and the rest why he and Sun Jingyan had gone into the bathroom for a lovers' bath. Wei Zhao described it lightly, but Gu Mengyao could still picture the tender, ambiguous scenes of a man and a woman alone together in a bathroom. Yet she felt only envy, not jealousy, and merely nodded. "So that's how it was. We owe a great deal to Sister Jingyi this time. The next step is to find the Qi-Gathering Pill, isn't it?" "Yes. In a little while I'll call Kang Jingming of the Xuandan Sect and ask him when the Qi-Gathering Pill can be refined. But word of my full recovery must not get out. After all, it's only my injuries that have healed—my strength hasn't returned. If it spread, I'm afraid the Zhao family or some other family might send people to make trouble again," Wei Zhao said. "Understood, boss. We'll keep it strictly secret!" Wu Chengtian said at once with a nod. Wei Zhao returned to his room to call Kang Jingming, while Gu Mengyao drew Sun Jingyan aside for a private word—in truth, to sound her out indirectly about what they had done in the bathroom. Though Sun Jingyan was Uncle Qing's daughter, she did not trade on it or put on airs. She was well aware of Gu Mengyao's place in Wei Zhao's heart, and so she naturally did her utmost to get along with Gu Mengyao. When Gu Mengyao asked about what had happened in the bathroom, Sun Jingyan held nothing back—she even told her how she had pulled off Wei Zhao's pants, fallen to the floor, and pressed her face right against that place of Wei Zhao's, which set Xiaoshu and Yaoyao laughing. Sun Jingyan's candor dissolved the last of Gu Mengyao's misgivings... Wei Zhao dialed Kang Jingming directly. Kang Jingming was rather puzzled by the call. "Hello? Wei Zhao?" What astonished Kang Jingming was that Wei Zhao, crippled as he was, still had the frame of mind to call him? What optimism! "Kang Jingming, is my Qi-Gathering Pill ready yet?" Wei Zhao wasted no words and came straight to the point. "The Qi-Gathering Pill..." Kang Jingming was momentarily taken aback. Wei Zhao's dantian was ruined—what did he want a Qi-Gathering Pill for? "Wei Zhao, from what I hear, you're finished. Why are you still concerning yourself with pills?" "Oh, so you know I'm finished too. Did you poison me?" Wei Zhao said offhandedly. "Th—that... how could it be?" Kang Jingming started and took quite a fright. Because he could not see Wei Zhao's expression, he was left uneasy—could Wei Zhao have learned something?
