At this moment, this selfless kindness has become an unsolvable knot in Miaomiao's heart.

Without much thought, he fed the pill to his mother. He simply put it in her mouth, and without even swallowing, the elixir went down her throat like sugar water.

It didn't take three days at all; in less than half an incense stick's time, her mother was able to get out of bed. At this rate, it won't be long before she's singing, dancing, and playing basketball!

Seeing her mother chopping wood in the yard, Miaomiao was happy, but she also began to think about where to find the hundred Ice Mist Flowers she had promised Sect Leader Su.

Even knowing that Sect Leader Su was trying to get rid of her, she still wanted to try. She didn't intend to let this favor slip by.

"Mother, how are you feeling?"

The mother didn't speak, seemingly recovering from her surprise.

"Miaomiao, where did you get this pill?"

Miaomiao was just telling the truth.

"I traded one hundred Ice Mist Flowers for it."

"There might not be a hundred Ice Mist Flowers in the entire Northern Region. Tell me the truth, if it's someone we can't afford to offend, we should run away quickly."

This was the best solution the helpless mother and daughter could think of: to keep running away.

"Mother, don't worry. It was the leader of a sect in the Southern Region who helped me. He asked me to find a hundred Ice Mist Flowers for him, but he didn't ask for a time limit. He just told me to do my best to find them."

"Did he say what to do if he couldn't find it?" The mother also seemed to find it hard to believe that such a thing could happen, whether it was a hundred Ice Mist Flowers or a sect leader who was so bored that he went all over the streets to help people.

"No."

The mother also began to earnestly advise Miaomiao to be careful, saying that life is unpredictable and there are not many good people.

Helping others without expecting anything in return—that kind of thing probably only exists in novels, right?

Perhaps everyone has a kind side, but that's just how the world is. If you act this way, you'll either be seen as a fool or ostracized as an outcast.

"Why?"

"One should not have the heart to harm others, but one should not be without the heart to guard against others."

Miaomiao nodded. She couldn't explain to her mother the superpower of hearing men's thoughts, so she could only agree for now and figure out a way to deal with the Ice Flower later.
