Nangong Rui: ...
He dared not go out; this person was too terrifying, especially since he was connected to Shen Hua.
This is tricky. Since she's been so enthusiastic in making the invitation, he should go and meet this beautiful woman, and incidentally put an end to her hopes.
So he replied with a message: "See you tomorrow, I'll take care of the location."
After finding out who their teammates were, no one was in the mood to attend class anymore, not even those who had failed the exam.
After class, Xi Yi ran over, as if she had something important to share with Shen Hua.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, she whispered in Shen Hua's ear, "Sister Shen Hua, Feng Qing and I have been assigned to the same group. What should I do? My heart is a little out of control."
Chen Hua: ...
Didn't I say I'd let go? Why is it happening again? This damn flutter of the heart.
"That's quite a coincidence. Don't worry so much. Let things take their course. Besides, you haven't even seen what the person he likes looks like. You need to see her before you can make a decision. You're being too rash."
"That seems to be true! It's all my fault, I got confused because I was worried. Luckily, I have Sister Chen Hua."
"Hey! Where's Sister Wenwen?"
"Qi Yi took them away."
Shen Hua didn't know what to say. She was supposed to be tutored by her, but she couldn't even see her. How could she tutor her?
This was her first time offering tutoring, and she was stood up.
Fortunately, Shang Wenwen returned in the evening and earnestly sought her advice, thus beginning a tutoring session that lasted until midnight.
Shen Hua only taught her the general outline; the rest was left for her to soak in the medicinal bath and slowly copy using her mind.
The medicinal bath she's currently soaking in was carefully prepared by Shen Hua. The sensation while soaking in it is even more invigorating than the one her teacher gave her. Of course, the effects are also excellent, and it can even stimulate the brain, making her think clearly about the patterns of the talismans.
It's a bit tiring, though. After Shen Hua distributes the tasks, she can go back to reading novels during her vacation.
Shang Wenwen wanted to save time during the day, so she could only work harder at night, going for a run before taking a medicinal bath.
Shen Hua is currently engrossed in a romance novel and is genuinely puzzled by Shang Wenwen's behavior. They spend so much time together and go out frequently, leaving Shen Hua with so little rest time. What is she after? She simply doesn't understand.
Love turned a calm and composed person into this state, something that doesn't even exist in novels. She felt that this thing was poisonous.
Xi Yi is also elusive, and every time she comes back, her face is red. In her words, eight or ten sentences are inseparable from Feng Qing.
She was the only one who seemed relatively normal; she had already gotten to know her teammates. Besides the three of them, the other two were a weapon-forging student and a musical instrument student, and they happened to be a couple.
Aha!
Shen Hua felt like she had been poisoned for a while and was ready to take on the challenge, but when she saw their faces, she shuddered and decided against it.
She doesn't understand, and she doesn't want to understand.
After school on Friday, Shen Hua added the last of the medicine to Xie Sichen's medicinal bath and helped with acupuncture, hoping to cure him in one go.
"The medicine seems a little different today."
Xie Sichen lowered his voice and said that he was experiencing that kind of pain for the first time. He was getting used to the gentle medicinal bath after a while, and his voice had changed.
After inserting an acupuncture needle into his head, Shen Hua replied, "Of course it's different. After this medicinal bath, your poison will be completely neutralized. Otherwise, it would be bad if you lost your balance and fell to the ground like you did today."
Xie Sichen: ...
His eyebrows furrowed. Could he say that he did this on purpose?
That's obviously not going to work.
"Okay! I'll be more careful next time, and I promise I won't let you fall."
"That's good. By the way, you're really tough. My lip still hurts."
There's a small, slightly different spot on the corner of her mouth; it's from when she bumped it today, and she'll need to apply some ointment later.
Xie Sichen noticed the corner of her mouth, and somewhat awkwardly turned his head away, his ear tips turning slightly red.
He noticed that the little girl had grown quite a bit taller, reaching up to his chest, though she still looked somewhat immature.
No, what was he thinking? He quickly snapped out of his reverie, only to feel the pain in his body again.
"It's alright! I'm sorry, I hurt you."
"It's okay, just be more careful next time."
He received another injection, and the pain in his mouth was only one percent of the pain he was currently enduring.
She's not someone who can't take a beating; she was just sighing. But Xie Sichen's physique must be the perfect physique described in novels.
Those hard, bony abs are what's known as eight-pack abs.
"Besides alchemy, do you usually exercise?"
Xie Sichen was puzzled, but still replied, "Yes, yes! It's good to exercise occasionally."
That makes sense.
"Now close your eyes and let yourself enter a meditative state."
After giving him a few instructions, Shen Hua quickly inserted silver needles into the acupoints on his body with both hands. The speed was very fast, and in a short while, dozens of needles were inserted.
After a few minutes, she took out a dagger, removed his hand, saw something wriggling on it, found a container, put something in it, and then slit his wrist.
Before long, a small creature crawled out and burrowed into the container in her hand.
She's quite clever; it took her a while to climb in, and the moment the little thing crawled in, she quickly put the bottle cap back on.
"Okay, you can come out after ten minutes inside."
After saying that, he took the small bottle and walked outside.
This is a really good product; they really went all out, even using this.
This item is one of a kind; even she doesn't have it. Yet Xie Sichen's enemy has it and is wasting it like this.
Wait a minute, she seemed to have thought of something and glanced at Xie Sichen's door.
What a coincidence! Xie Sichen's poison was brought from his mother's womb, a mixture of many different types, including Gu poison.
The poison in Xiao Chen's body was only slightly less potent than his, with fewer types of poison and also fewer Gu poison.
Xie Sichen's identity is so sensitive, could these two people be the same person? Maybe we should test the waters.
How did this big, human child, who suffered so much, grow up without any guidance and knew nothing, become so shrewd?
Curious, so very curious.
He was dressed in black, masked, and showed interest in daggers—that confirmed it. If I were to ask him, would I expose myself?
Now that we know, we shouldn't alert them. This kid is pitiful; if we expose some deep-seated wounds he can't get over, it might create inner demons for him.
At this moment, Xie Sichen came out.
He was holding that dagger in his hand.
"Thank you for what happened before. I've examined the dagger enough, so I'll return it to its rightful owner."
Shen Hua thought to herself, "It's only when it's applied to you that it's returned to its rightful owner, but it's not when it's applied to me. Although you still owe me something, I won't hold it against you."
