Chapter 344: Chapter 343: Po Xiao’s Wife, Can She Make Po Xiao Listen?
Chu Qing’s Parents were stunned again, looking a little ashamed.
But before they could say anything, Xiao Xiaomo added, "And don’t even think about taking Chu Qing away."
"But if he stays here, he can’t be cured at all," Chu Qing’s father said.
Xiao Xiaomo looked at him and said, "And sending him away will cure him?"
"Can he be cured by staying here, then?" Chu Qing’s father retorted.
"At least no one here has said he can’t be cured. Your side has already given him a death sentence, haven’t they?"
"You..."
Just then, Chu Qing’s Mother stopped Chu Qing’s father. "Let it go. Let’s trust them this one time.
At least Chu Qing won’t be in mortal danger."
Chu Qing’s father was furious. In the end, he sat off to the side and said, "I’ll wait right here. You all go ahead and believe them."
Xiao Xiaomo paid him no mind. After Chu Qing’s Mother took Chu Qing in her arms, Xiao Xiaomo turned to Po Xiao and said, "Boss Po Xiao, I used your super express delivery once. I’ll compensate you for it later."
Jiang Zuo didn’t look up. He had been a bit surprised when Chu Qing had said those words earlier.
But he had no intention of replying to what Xiao Xiaomo said.
’Since she’s already used it and said she’ll compensate me, what more is there to say?’
’Anything I say would be a waste of breath.’
’I might as well focus on the array.’
Seeing that the situation was resolved, Mo Yan came over to Po Xiao. "Boss Po Xiao, can you treat Chu Qing sooner? I feel like that other Chu Qing... that girl is mentally unstable. What if she goes crazy and starts hammering me?"
She was actually the weakest one here, although her escape Cultivation Technique was incredible.
But against a crazed Chu Qing, her Nightmare Power seemed a bit weak.
Her Nightmare Space could pull people in, but it was designed for sane individuals. It could barely contain someone who had lost their mind.
She was fast, but Chu Qing was exceptionally accurate when throwing her hammer.
She knew from bitter experience.
Jiang Zuo’s reply was just two words: "No time."
At that moment, Chu Qing’s Mother asked, "Can I clean my son’s wounds?"
Things had already come to this. She could only compromise. ’Maybe there really is hope,’ she thought.
"No. Not even a single touch."
As soon as Jiang Zuo’s voice fell, Xiao Xiaomo pulled everyone away. They had been standing very close.
That was a close call.
After that, they all retreated outside, with only Chu Qing’s father staying behind to watch.
No one said anything about it. As long as he didn’t disturb Po Xiao, it was fine.
After everyone else had left, Chu Qing’s father spoke up. "I don’t care what methods you used to convince them. All I want to ask you now is, do you really have a way to cure him?"
Jiang Zuo didn’t speak, continuing to work on his materials instead.
Chu Qing’s father frowned. "Name your price. Any amount will do."
Jiang Zuo still said nothing.
"I’m not asking for a one-hundred-percent success rate. Just a sliver of hope is enough, as long as you can treat him sooner."
Just then, Jiang Zuo looked up.
Just as Chu Qing’s father thought Jiang Zuo was about to show his true colors, he heard a phrase that was difficult for him to comprehend.
"You’re too noisy. Can you shut up?"
Stunned for a moment, he slammed his hand down, shattering the table beside him. "Do you have any idea? I could kill you with a single move."
Jiang Zuo looked at him and said, "Childish."
"You..." Chu Qing’s father glared at Jiang Zuo in a rage, but in the end, he sat back down.
He said furiously, "One day, you will pay the price for your arrogance.
By then, it will be too late for regrets. I advise you to be more humble. You’re too self-righteous, too conceited."
Jiang Zuo lowered his head and thought, ’By then, I will be invincible.’

Meanwhile, outside, Xiao Xiaomo said to Liuyue Xue and the others, "Thank you for notifying me. If I hadn’t come, Chu Qing would have definitely been in danger."
Liu Yiyi sighed. "You should be thanking me. I was nearly scared to death just now. You have no idea how fierce her father’s glare was."
Blade Master Hai Bian asked curiously, "Since Fellow Daoist Po Xiao said Chu Qing will be fine, he must have some confidence. But when is he going to make his move?"
Liu Yiyi said, a little awkwardly, "After he’s done with the East Water Island matter?
Why are you all looking at me? Is it my fault?
How was I supposed to know Chu Qing would have an accident at this time?
Besides, you all know Fellow Daoist Po Xiao’s temper. If he says he has no time, who can make him have time?"
At that moment, Mo Yan suddenly said, "For example, Po Xiao’s wife?"
Everyone: "..."
Xiao Xiaomo said irritably, "I don’t want to die yet. Don’t drag us down with you."
Chi Xue Child, eating a popsicle, said, "Mo Yan must have forgotten what it was like to be a ’special needs child’."
Mo Yan glared at Chi Xue Child. How dare he bring that up again? ’Does he think I have no dignity?’
Liuyue Xue typed: Chu Qing should be fine, but have you guys thought about those Sea Monsters? I remember there weren’t any of these things on East Water Island before.
Liu Yiyi said, "I’ve already told my Master. In any case, it’s beyond our ability to handle."
Chi Xue Child nodded. "The most urgent task is to go buy more popsicles. We might not get another chance later."
Liu Yiyi: "Alright, let’s go. My Master said it’s free."
"Free?" Mo Yan said excitedly. "Why is it free? I came here to spend money, and now you’re telling me you don’t want it?
Why would I even come if it’s free?
No, you have to charge me. Otherwise, I’m not playing anymore."
Everyone: "..."
’Is she dense or what?’
As for Jiang Zuo, he didn’t care what these people were up to, as long as they didn’t disturb him.
Mo Yan did return the Dream Crystal Stone to him, but he didn’t have time to use it right now.
He would have to wait until the array was set up.
Jiang Zuo worked through the entire night, finally preparing all the materials. He even made a point to test them.
He found them to be absolutely perfect.
Only then did he pack his things and get up to leave.
Seeing Jiang Zuo move, Chu Qing’s father also fixed his gaze on him.
For the entire night, this person had been repeating the same actions over and over. He could tell the man was preparing materials for an array, but he didn’t know what it was for.
He couldn’t deny that this person had some real skill. While he didn’t understand all of the array’s Runes, they were definitely not something a Tier Two cultivator could master.
However, that alone didn’t prove much.
Talent in array Runes wasn’t enough to define a person, nor could it predict their future path.
In any case, he had learned from Xiao Xiaomo and the others that this man only had a Tier Two Cultivation. Although his concealment abilities were impressive, Tier Two was still Tier Two.
There were many things that couldn’t be overcome with knowledge alone.
Tier Two was Tier Two. That was an undeniable weakness.
After getting up, Jiang Zuo walked straight out of the room. He needed to go set up the array.
But just as he reached the doorway, he turned back to look at Chu Qing’s father and said, "I find Chu Qing tolerable. If you don’t want anything to happen to him, guard this place. Don’t let anything disturb him.
Once I’m done with my business, he’ll be fine."
Chu Qing had been very respectful to him, always calling him ’Senior’. In Jiang Zuo’s eyes, this junior wasn’t so bad. It would be a shame if he were ruined.
That was why he gave a final instruction before leaving. As for whether the man would listen, that would depend on Chu Qing’s own fortune.
