Esokan.
After checking his business. Jia Li went to the flower house (the brothel) to meet his friend. Surely wearing men's clothes. Jia Li is not alone, he is with kun and Jilli. A crazy person who likes to appear and disappear suddenly,
"why do these days the capital looks so crowded ?" jia Li asked. Jia Li saw people looking very busy from the second floor window in his room.
"hem... That is because there will be a new year celebration in the empire held in 3 months" said Jilli.
"yes, I know, but it's too soon to be ready. Are there any special guests ?" Jia Li looked at Jilli and kun.
"i heard that there are 5 heavenly teachers coming" said Kun.
Celestial teachers are those who have power beyond the limits of ordinary humans and they usually have a very long lifespan. In the beginning in this world there were 4 heavenly teachers who are the most famous heavenly teacher jili, heavenly teacher shen , heavenly teacher li ewi and heavenly teacher an. But 6 years ago, there was a heavenly master who woke up from his long slumber named Chunying. Some people said that he was much stronger than the other 4 heavenly masters and much older.
Jia Li looked at the masked man sitting in front of him. The man who was none other than one of those heavenly teachers, Jilli. Only Jia Li knew Jilli's identity and her true face. While Kun, he only knew that Jilli was only a person who was very fond of medicine just like Jia Li.
"then, will the rumored heavenly teacher rising from the tomb come ?" asked Jia Li
"Jia Li, watch your talk. What if he hears you and he's angry, I can't help you later" Jilli warned. The man looked at Jia Li dislikeingly.
"no way he could hear. You are too far-fetched" said Jia Li. The girl chuckled because she felt funny about Jilli's words.
Suddenly the door of their room opened.5 beautiful women came in carrying cups of tea. One of the beautiful women was wearing a white rose hairpin that was none other than the daughter Jia Li met 6 years ago. A beautiful girl trapped in a carriage that was similar to a prison. Yep... Jia Li accidentally met him a few years ago while taking care of his business, ever since that meeting they became close. Although they were close, the girl did not know who Jia Li really was. The girl only knew Jia Li as young master Li, a wealthy young merchant.
"Zhu, you've been so long, I've been so thirsty" Jia Li protested at the beautiful girl.
"pardon me young master" Zhu immediately sat down beside Jia Li. He immediately poured the tea water into Jia Li's glass.
Meanwhile, Kun and Jilli were each served with two girls. The girls who saw the familiarity of Jia Li and Zhu felt jealous. Because in their eyes Jia Li is very handsome, so kind, gentle, considerate, and always appreciative of them even though they are *******. Jia Li also treated Zhu very well compared to the others, even he paid dearly each month so that Zhu did not serve the lust of the striped man anymore. Not only that, he even threatened the owner of the flower house to have Zhu treated well. Any woman who lived in the flower house would definitely be very envious to see Jia Li's treatment of Zhu.
While Jilli who was looking at Jia Li's treatment to Zhu felt a bit upset.while kun who was looking at it felt it was a normal thing, Jia Li was indeed a person who was very considerate of everyone. Especially his family or friends.
" how are you Zhu ?" jia Li asked. They had barely met for 1 month due to Jia Li's busyness.
"i'm good sir, but why have you rarely come here lately ?" ask gentle zhu.
"my work is very much, it's all because there will be a new year festival so many buyers who come to my shops" said Jia Li.
"hem... Mr Li, do you want a beer ?" ask one of the girls sitting next to Jilli.
"no, he doesn't like beer" said Jilli. Somehow Jilli became annoyed with the woman beside her.
Hearing that, Zhu's face became ugly. Zhu was upset by Jilli's attitude. While Jia Li only smiled slightly.
"hem... Tea alone is enough" Jia Li said with a small smile. Zhu who saw that blushed.
Jilli stared intently at the sharp zhu, she felt that zhu had more feelings for Jia Li. He was jealous, but why ?
***
2 Years passed quickly. Because the new year festival will be soon in July, Jia Li so often invited to the palace to accompany the old queen mother and queen mother. As a future daughter-in-law, Jia Li is very much in love and spoiled. Anyone who saw it would be envious. But according to him, this was not a good thing because his arrival to the palace was the way of the old queen mother to bring Jia Li and the 4th prince closer, whereas Jia Li wanted to stay away from the man. As far as possible if you can. In addition, the reason why Jia Li was so lazy to come to the palace was because the empress, concubines, and princesses felt jealous of him. It was clearly visible from the look of their eyes on Jia Li. In front of their queen mother would behave sweetly, but behind the old queen mother and the queen mother, they turned evil, even. But.. Fortunately Jia Li always escapes all the problems they create.
Currently Jia Li was in the room in his drug store together with Jilli. Jia Li sat lazily while looking at the medicinal plants in front of him.
"why don't you look excited." asked Jilli curiously.
"i'm just dizzy, because the 4th prince is making things harder for me" Jia Li said lethargicly.
Come to think of it, the 4th prince was indeed very handsome. He is also very smart, has a high position, and is very good at martial arts. Jia Li was disgusted by the man because he had already entered the many libang of heaven, it meant that his was already very dirty and it could carry many diseases later. Do not blaspheme Jia Li for thinking like that, according to him it is very important to maintain health. Whether it is spiritual health, or physical.
"hem...do you need my help ?" tawar Jilli's. He also felt annoyed whenever he saw Jia Li along with the 4th prince.
"no need, after all, people like you who really want perfection and also always keep that great name ! Can what ?" Jia Li stared at the cynical Jilli.
The reason why Jia Li said that was because people like Jilli cared so much about their good name. Even to keep their good name for those thousands of years they willingly cover up their true identity. There is only the grand name of 'heavenly teacher". They are also willing to live their whole lives alone for the sake of that name.
"i believe I can help you" Jilli said seriously. But Jia Li was not easily consumed with Jilli's sweet words.
"help me.. How do you help me ? " ask Jia Li with her flat face.
"Married to you ?" added Jia Li. The remark left Jilli shocked, and her face instantly flushed red.
"aah.. whoever she is must be difficult to be your wife. if you behave so continuously." said Jia Li with a lazy face.
"si..what kind of attitude do you mean ?" jilli stammered. Jilli looks confused and nervous.
"you always think you're perfect, and other people are always lacking. You think you're always right and other people are always wrong, you like to make promises but never keep them. Like to brag, not to lose, insensitive, stubborn and very annoying. So.. don't give me hope if you can't help me ! " Jia Li looked at Jilli with a wry smile.
Jia Li's words upset Jili. The man felt that Jia Li's sharp tongue had stabbed him many times.
"already Jilli. I want to sleep, I'm sleepy" without waiting for Jilli's reply, Jia Li went to the room that was special for her in the store.
To be honest, Jia Li was very lazy to argue with Jilli because the man was definitely not willing to lose. And it'll be long-tipped.
After Jia Li's departure, Jilli was still sitting there. He thought of Jia Li's words.
" not all of your words are true Jia Li. You may not believe me now, but I will make you trust me with my actions. I'll prove that I can help you break the engagement, believe me. "Jilli said solemnly.
Long enough Jilli sat in silence. As Jilli stood up, she wanted to sneak into the place where Jia Li was sleeping. For Jilli this was not a difficult matter, in the blink of an eye she was already where Jia Li was sleeping. On the bed, Jilli could see a beautiful girl sleeping.
Currently Jia Li did not use a veil so that her beautiful face could be seen clearly. Jia Li looks so adorable in her sleep.
"..." for a moment Jilli gulped her hard-earned saliva. Actually this is not the first time to see Jia Li's real face, but why every look at Jia Li's face his heart will beat faster.
Jilli walked over to Jia Li. Look at his face closer. Jilli got rid of the annoying hair child on Jia Li's face. The longer he stared at Jia Li, the more his heart pounded unruffled, as his skin involuntarily touched Jia Li's white and smooth skin he felt like there was a pleasant electric shock. Jilli touched his chest. He hoped that Jia Li would not wake up because of the sound of his heart.
"why does my heart beat faster ? Do I have a new disease ?" jilli.
"maybe you've fallen in love" Jia Li said.
Hearing that voice, Jilli was shocked. He retreated backwards and looked away. He felt very embarrassed to be caught sneaking in while Jia Li was sleeping.
For not hearing Jia Li's protesting voice. Jilli looked at Jia Li again, and it turned out that Jia Li was still asleep. He's just delirious. Because that day Jilli breathed a sigh of relief.
"i'm like a thief" Jilli murmured.
After that Jilli decided to leave the place. With his strength he easily returned to his residence. Jilli's residence is located very far away in the snowy mountains. That place is very difficult to reach.
"was I in love with her ?" ask Jilli to herself.
From that day on, Jilli kept thinking about it. Jia Li's beautiful face and very attractive behavior always make Jilli pounding. And when they were far away, his heart began to feel uneasy.
Jilli is currently sitting down while drinking tea. He was not alone, there were 2 men and 2 women accompanying him. They are his students. Sari Tadi his murits looked at Jilli strangely, as Jilli kept daydreaming and occasionally muttered indistinctly.
"what do you think love is ? And how does it feel ?" jilli's words made her student's son surprised. They think they heard wrong.
"what did the teacher say ?" said one of the students who doubted his hearing.
Jill repeated her question. But his student was silent. They are confused as to what to answer.
"i think that love is a feeling of affection and a sense of wanting to have" said one of the female students.
"yes, and sometimes there is a sense of pleasure when he sees her happy, and jealousy when he sees her with others" added another student.
For a long time Jilli and her murits talked about love. Until July understood if her feelings for Jia Li all this time were love. So it's natural that all this time he felt happy if he was close to Jia Li, and angry/jealous when he saw Jia Li close to other men. He had even been jealous of zhu, the comfort woman who secretly liked Jia Li.
"alright, you can go" Jilli told her students.
Hearing that, the son of disciple Jilli finally left the room. They're a little confused.
"isn't this weird ?" said one of the students when they were quite far from Jilli's room earlier.
"what's weird ?"
"teachers. Why do teachers talk about love ? Isn't this weird ?"
"yes.this is weird. This is the first time the teacher has discussed this"
"is it possible that the teacher fell in love ?"
"that sounds impossible. But this could happen "
"if that really happens, I'm quite happy on behalf of heavenly teacher Jilli. ".
"was..what kind of girl did our teacher fall in love with ?"
"i don't know, obviously she must be pretty"
Rumors of heavenly teacher Jilli falling in love began to spread by word of mouth.
While in his room, Jilli stared at a very beautiful glass ball. The ball looks very beautiful in blue and is slightly luminous. The glass hull was no ordinary ball, it was one of those rare items that could read one's memories for anyone who touched it. There are only 5 balls like this in the world, and one of them belongs to Jilli. Suddenly Jilli imagined Jia Li.
"what if I give this to Jia Li. He must have loved this beautiful glass ball" Jilli said. Engraved a beautiful smile on Jilli's face.
