Holding onto the bottle, the second elder’s hand was shaking. Xiao Huan Pill. And it was not just a single pill, but a whole bottle full of them!
He had never seen the Tian Luo Pill before, but the smell allowed him to recognize it as an extraordinary item. However, he once had the fortune of seeing the Xiao Huan Pill. One Xiao Huan Pill was already a holy item that could heal injuries. But now, he was holding a whole bottle! Little Chuxi had actually gave him a whole bottle of Xiao Huan Pills to be eaten like jelly beans!
If he followed Ling Chuxi’s instructions and took that many pills, it would be against all natural laws if his internal injuries did not heal!
“After a few more acupuncture sessions, there will not be any problems,” said Ling Chuxi confidently, touching her own chin.
The second elder’s expression suddenly turned oddly serious as he raised his head to look right at her. “Little Chuxi.”
“Huh? What’s the matter?” she asked, stunned.
“I don’t care where you obtained these pills, but you must promise me to not tell anyone else.”
The second elder gripped the porcelain bottle in his hands tightly, anxiousness and worry written all over his face. Whether it was the Tian Luo Pill or the Xiao Huan Pill, if either were made known to anyone, it was not necessarily a good thing for Ling Chuxi or the Ling family.
Especially for Ling Chuxi. It was definitely not a good thing for her if people found out.
Seeing the deep worry in the second elder’s eyes, Ling Chuxi felt a sense of warmth wash over her. She nodded and said with a smile, “Second Elder, don’t worry. I know what should be done.”
“That’s good.” The second elder let out a long sigh of relief as he lay his worries to rest.
…
After exiting the second elder’s house, Ling Chuxi saw that Lan Xinyu was still waiting for her outside. Ling Yichen had also arrived.
As soon as he saw Ling Chuxi come out, he immediately approached her and asked, “How is the second elder?”
“He’s not in critical condition anymore.”
Ling Chuxi smiled. She could finally rest assured. It was all thanks to the Lan family’s timely delivery of the herbs.
“That’s good. However, the Qin family has come knocking, saying that they want to find the culprit of yesterday’s incident. The first elder is handling them in front of the Ling family residence,” said Ling Yichen with a frown.
“Oh? Really? It’s great that they are here!” sneered Ling Chuxi as she swiftly walked to the outer courtyard.
It seemed that Qin Nanfeng had determined that the person who injured him last night was someone from the Ling family, and thus came knocking to find trouble.
Hurriedly catching up to her, Ling Yichen suspiciously asked in a whisper, “Chuxi, was last night your doing?”
He knew about Ling Chuxi cultivation abilities, and he was also well aware of Qin Nanfeng and Luo Qiying’s cultivation abilities. She could not have hurt them without getting injured herself. However, besides Chuxi, who would have done something like this?
“Yes,” replied Ling Chuxi. She had no intention of keeping the truth from Ling Yichen. With that indifferent response, she continued walking forward.
Shocked, Ling Yichen remained where he was. It really was Ling Chuxi’s doing! She had actually crippled Qin Nanfeng and Luo Qiying! How did she do it? Both her opponents were at Battle Qi Level-8!
Listening to their conversation, Lan Xinyu could roughly guess what they were talking about. When she was walking around Shi Qu Town this morning, she had heard people talking about this matter. Now, she connected the dots and suddenly understood the situation.
Those two experts who were at Battle Qi Level-8 had actually been wounded by Ling Chuxi, and she was unscathed! How did she do it?
A very surprised Lan Xinyu quickened her pace to catch up with Ling Chuxi. She had a feeling that staying by Ling Chuxi’s side would allow her to learn many things. It might even bring about changes in her state of mind that was totally different from the past!
Even from afar, they could hear Qin Nanfeng’s angry voice, “Ling Yuanlong, stop talking nonsense. Hand over that despicable person from last night!”
Despair and madness could be heard in his tone. It was hard to blame him. After all, his right hand was now crippled and he could no longer wield a sword.
