Chapter 358
Cui Lie took the scarlet pill given to him by Rong Xianxian, and the injuries in his body healed in a very short time. Of course, not only that, some minor injuries that had accumulated in his body in the past were also completely repaired. You know, those hidden diseases were extremely stubborn, and spiritual energy nourishment and elixir treatments were all ineffective. In fact, he had just been promoted to the Qi Bridge Realm and had not yet stabilized. Since taking these pills, the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy has greatly increased, the speed of cultivation has greatly increased, and his realm has not only stabilized, but he has even touched the threshold of the middle stage of the Qi Bridge Realm.
When he had taken half a bottle, he felt the effect of the pill. Knowing that Rong Xianxian had failed in her two attempts to break through in seclusion, he refused to take the pill again and insisted on returning it to Rong Xianxian. This made Rong so angry that she beat him up and threatened to throw the pill into Ming Tianlei's furnace if he refused to take the pill.
In the next courtyard, Qi Sanbing, Zi Ting, Cai Ran, He Wen and others were sitting upright around the table in the living room. "Now let's vote by raising our hands. Should we go directly to Madam and reveal our identities to her, or should we continue to protect her secretly and try to make merit before appearing in front of Madam?" Qi Sanbing said to the dozen people sitting around the table.
"Raise your hands if you agree to show up in person." As soon as Qi Sanbing finished speaking, everyone present raised their hands except him.
"Uh..." Qi Sanbing was a little dumbfounded.
"Captain, we should have shown up a long time ago. We haven't done anything shameful. Why are we so sneaky? We are just wasting our time here." He Wen rolled his eyes and said.
"That's right, we are here to be bodyguards and thugs, not spies!" said another senior team member bluntly.
"But Mingyin has tried to test the Madam's intentions before, and she doesn't welcome us! If we just show up like this, we will most likely be turned away!" Qi Sanbing said with an embarrassed look on his face.
Mingyin told Rong Xianxian through Wang Lin that Ning Qingyun's men were coming to protect them. When Wang Lin mentioned this, Rong Xianxian flatly refused. That's why Mingyin persuaded Qi Sanbing and others to wait for an opportunity to gain their favor before showing up again.
Unfortunately, Qi Sanbing and his team have been tracking and investigating for such a long time, but have not found any opportunity to make merit. Last time, someone framed Rong Xianxian's new subordinates, and before they could figure out how to solve the problem, Rong Xianxian had already settled the matter. Since then, no one in the market dared to cause trouble for them.
"Madam, aren't you recruiting people? How about we pretend to be strangers and go take the test?" someone in the team suggested.
"Come on, let's see what kind of stupid idea you have. You're pretending to be a stranger. If we get caught when we get to the capital, based on what we know about Madam's temper, do you think we can still stay in the team?" Zi Ting shook the hair in front of his forehead, sneered, and said.
"If we're rejected, then so be it. There's nothing to be afraid of. Our mission is to protect the madam and the child. Now that the madam and the child are safe, no matter what the madam wants to do, we should report in first and say hello. I really don't understand why there's so much fuss about such a simple thing?" He Wen said with a sigh.
"That's right, Sister Wen is right. Captain Qi, you weren't such a stubborn person before. How come you have become like this after coming here?" said another team member.
Qi Sanbing and Zi Ting looked at each other. Zi Ting shrugged slightly and waved his hand, agreeing to show up directly. "Okay then, tomorrow morning, let's report next door early tomorrow morning." Qi Sanbing said as if he had finally made up his mind.
"Wow..." Upon hearing this, the team members who were sitting upright around the table whistled excitedly.
They have been so idle these days that they can grow mushrooms. It's so uncomfortable to stay at home and not go out. They are so envious of the guys under the lady next door who are busy doing this and that every day.
Early the next morning, a dozen people stood in front of the gate of Rong Xianxian's hospital. Jiang Jie asked them what they wanted to do. Qi Sanbing said that they wanted to see Rong Xianxian, Doctor Rong. When asked what they wanted to see Sister Rong for, these people did not say a word. They kept saying the same thing over and over again: they wanted to see Rong Xianxian.
Jiang Jie reported to Rong Xianxian. Wang Lin looked a little nervous. Could it be that the people Mingyin mentioned some time ago had arrived?
When Rong Xianxian came out, a group of more than a dozen practitioners who were dressed lightly and looked very cold-resistant all bowed their heads slightly and saluted, "Your subordinate greets the madam."
The respectful attitude of these people did not impress Rong Xianxian. She frowned and thought for a moment. At this time, she also thought of the thing that Wang Lin mentioned to her some time ago, before they arrived at Jindu.
Hearing that Ning Qingyun's subordinates were coming to protect them, Rong Xianxian just wanted to laugh twice. Because of the effect of the powerful anesthetic at the time, she didn't feel the pain of being burned by fire very strongly. But the words said by the two enemies before their tragic death were deeply imprinted in her mind, like a poisonous snake, gnawing at her heart all the time, and she would feel excruciating pain at the slightest touch.
Those words reminded her all the time that she was a poor creature who had no ability to protect her own children and only wanted to rely on others. The person she thought she could rely on had another woman in his heart and even sent his men to kill them.
Those two enemies, one was his childhood sweetheart, and the other was his most capable subordinate. Regardless of whether what they said was true or false, Rong Xianxian didn't want to think about that scene again.
When Rong Xianxian learned that these people were indeed Ning Qingyun's men, she turned them away without hesitation.
She didn't want to see anyone related to Ning Qingyun.
It started snowing at the end of November and now it is January and the heavy snow has stopped. Human beings have always had a strong ability to adapt to the natural environment. Moreover, after the revival of spiritual energy, they are nourished by the spiritual energy. Even ordinary people who have not become practitioners have greatly improved their physical fitness compared to previous humans.
People have adapted to the low temperature of more than 30 degrees below zero outdoors. In the safety zone, staff wearing cotton hats, gloves, masks and bulky and thick clothes can be seen everywhere. They have cleared most of the streets. Huge snowballs with lifelike faces and snowmen of different shapes can be seen everywhere. It is only a dozen days before the Spring Festival in the lunar calendar. The icy trees in the safety zone are hung with bright red lanterns. Walking on the streets, one can actually feel a sense of peace and tranquility.
