East Courtyard.
Qin Ji hurriedly stepped into the room and saw Xiang Sheng sitting at the table, sipping tea and reading a storybook.
Seeing Qinji coming over, Xiang Sheng put away the booklet, looked up and smiled slightly: "You're here."
Qin Ji's expression suddenly relaxed. He stepped forward and couldn't help but complain, "Miss Sheng, you're pretending too well. Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Sheng closed the booklet and said with an apologetic smile, "That mouthful of blood was really hard to hold back. Did it scare you? Did Xiang Hongyu ever blame you?"
"You really vomited blood?!"
Qin Ji was startled and quickly sat down to feel Xiang Sheng's pulse.
Xiang Sheng let her feel his pulse and said with a gentle smile, "Today's needle is placed at the Xuanshu point, which is very close to the Mingmen point. It's normal for it to be affected. You don't have to worry."
The piano machine diagnosed it for a moment, then reluctantly let go of the wrist. He admired it in his heart, but didn't know where to start.
This is the fifth time she has been diagnosed as incurable.
Even if Miss Sheng has a way to heal herself and resist Xiang Hongyu's cruel methods, she is a flesh and blood body and pain is inevitable, not to mention Xiang Hongyu's repeated injections of needles, which is no different from torture.
However, during this period of time, Miss Sheng was so relaxed and cheerful every day, and never showed any sign of pain.
Just considering this state of mind, I can't even praise Xiang Hongyu enough!
She secretly despised the previous master in her heart, and then seemed to remember something. She quickly took out a letter from her bosom and placed it on the table, "Miss Sheng, there is a letter from home. It is from the head of the family to the young master."
"oh?"
Xiang Sheng raised her eyebrows slightly, picked up the envelope, and immediately saw the six words "My son Hongyu personally wrote".
She tried to pull at the end of the letter, but it wouldn't open.
“It’s actually the Blood Seal!”
Qin Ji exclaimed in surprise, "The letter is sealed with blood. It requires a blood relative to break it. Miss Sheng, this letter must contain something important! The last time I saw a blood seal was six years ago when the head of the family was injured and asked for help."
Xiang Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly. Xiang Wenli sending a letter to Xiang Hongyu at this time was a big deal. Could it be...
After thinking for a moment, Xiang Sheng looked up and asked, "Qin Ji, do you know the blood seal technique?"
Qin Ji instantly understood what Xiang Sheng was going to do, nodded hesitantly, and said, "Yes, this method is very simple, but it requires the consumption of blood and energy. Miss, your injuries..."
"No problem."
Xiang Sheng bit his fingertip and rubbed it on the edge of the letter, and the tightly stuck letter loosened instantly.
He took out the letter and unfolded it, and Xiang Sheng's eyes suddenly fixed.
It was just as she expected.
"My son, Hongyu, has written to me this time because of an extremely urgent matter at home! Half a month ago, the mine owned by our family suddenly collapsed, revealing the entrance to a cave, but I don't know where it leads to.
I picked up some Soul Sound Grass at the entrance. Hongyu, you've read the sect's texts thoroughly, and you should know that this Soul Sound Grass only grows in places with abundant souls! This is a rare opportunity. If you can use it to strengthen your soul, you and I can easily form a pill, and even achieve the Nascent Soul stage!
Yet, for unknown reasons, within just half a month, the news had leaked out and reached the Wan Clan. Wan Lingmo, having lost power in the sect, might have taken this as an opportunity to turn things around and gamble everything on it!
As a father, I am deeply troubled. I sincerely hope that my son will come back to help me and not let Wan Ling succeed!"
When Xiang Sheng read to the end, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.
She wondered why Xiang Wenli was so generous, but it turned out to be a helpless move after the news was exposed. Xiang Hongyu's cultivation was currently stuck at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, and he would not miss any opportunity to strengthen his control over the Core Formation stage.
After pondering for a moment, Xiang Sheng followed Qin Ji's instructions, bit his tongue, and spat out a little blood to form a blood seal, which he used to seal the letter again.
Her face paled, but her expression remained unchanged. She handed the envelope to Qinji and said, "Give it to Xiang Hongyu. Stay by his side and don't leave. Find a chance to say a few more words. Like this, like this..."
Qin Ji's expression changed. Over the past half month, she had been shocked time and again by Xiang Sheng's hidden methods. Although she didn't know why he did this, she still nodded carefully, "Qin Ji has made a note of it."
"Then go ahead."
Xiang Sheng smiled faintly, "This is a good opportunity. If this matter is handled properly, you and I can both escape from the sea of suffering."
Qinji's eyes instantly brightened, "Qinji will definitely do it!"
After saying this, she bowed and left quickly.
After he left, Xiang Sheng's eyes flashed slightly. Before he had time to heal his wounds, he asked Xiao Tao to call Fourteen over.
"Miss Sheng, you finally decided to call me here?"
As soon as Fourteen came over, he sat down angrily and said, "It's ok that Sister Qinji has put me in solitary confinement for the past half month, but you and Qinji are still so secretive and won't tell me anything."
After saying this, he took a closer look and saw Xiang Sheng's pale face. He immediately frowned and said, "Why do you look so grim? Are you injured again?"
"Noisy."
Xiang Sheng rubbed his brows and asked instead of answering, "Fourteen, do you know about Soul Sound Grass?"
Fourteen was stunned.
A moment later, Fourteen sat in front of Xiang Sheng with a pale face, "You mean, we have to go back to the Xiang family? I can't stay in the sect? If the distance is far enough, the head of the family should not be able to control me."
"Is it safe to stay here?"
Xiang Sheng sighed softly, "Don't forget, there is also the Tianyan Sect."
Fourteen was immediately in a dilemma, "Then...what should I do then?"
"I tell you this so that you can be mentally prepared."
Xiang Sheng said calmly, "I will try to help you get the antidote. But after you go back, you must stay by my side at all times. If anything unusual happens, I can take action in time. Do you understand?"
Fourteen nodded quickly, "Of course I'll listen to you!"
"Okay, go back first and call Xiaotao in."
