"no!"
Qin Ji put his arm around Fourteen's neck and said, "Miss Sheng is seriously injured and has just fallen asleep. You should go with me to practice first and come back later."
Fourteen curled his lips, didn't struggle this time, and followed him away.
…
In the inner room, Xiang Sheng sat and waited for a while before she saw the maid who had just helped her apply the medicine walk in. Without saying a word, she knelt down and kowtowed, saying timidly, "Thank you, Miss Sheng, for saving me."
"It's not like I could rescue you."
Xiang Sheng smiled and said comfortingly, "What's your name?"
The maid looked up with surprise. This was the first time her master had asked her name. She quickly replied, "My name is Xiao Tao."
"Xiao Tao, let me ask you something."
Xiang Zhen asked casually, "How does Qinji treat you normally?"
"fine."
The maid Xiao Tao answered honestly, "Master Qinji sometimes gets angry and gets angry, but it's rare for him to get physical like today. Compared to the servants in other courtyards, we have a very good life working for Master Qinji."
Xiang Sheng nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Did she tell you anything?"
"Master Qinji just asked us servants to take good care of you and heal your injuries."
Xiao Tao answered without hesitation, then pondered for a moment, her eyes suddenly lighting up. "Oh, there's another order. It was given by Master Hongyu himself when you first arrived. He told us to keep an eye on you, to keep you from wandering around, and to prevent you from having too much access to cultivation books. But Master Qinji didn't seem to take it seriously and didn't remove the books from your study."
Xiang Sheng nodded, "I understand, thank you very much. I hope you will keep the question I asked you today confidential."
Xiao Tao was immediately flattered, "I understand, I will never tell anyone."
After seeing Xiao Tao off, Xiang Sheng lowered the door curtain to the inner room, returned to the bed and sat down, a hint of contemplation flashing across his eyes.
After the battle of Xuanwang City, she had the misfortune to run into Shu Gaoming when she went down the mountain. She had to decisively sever her relationship with the "descendants of the Lu family" and follow them back to the clan.
Xiang Hongyu stayed in the sect. She couldn't escape down the mountain like she did last time. She could only take things one step at a time.
Although she only caught a glimpse of him when she returned to the sect, she could more or less see that things were not peaceful within the sect at the moment, and Xiang Hongyu was just surviving in the cracks.
He asked Qin Ji to let him have less contact with cultivation, and it turned out that he had other intentions.
"The furnace?"
Xiang Sheng murmured softly, his brows slightly furrowed.
This is not difficult to guess. The original owner and Xiang Hongyu are blood relatives. She heard Damu say in her dream that the most common seal-binding furnace in the world of cultivation is based on blood relationship.
However, there are many different methods of using the furnace and cauldron, and it is impossible to guess how Xiang Hongyu specifically wants to use her to practice.
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng wiped his ring finger.
The next moment, a flash of blood appeared between his fingers, and hundreds of storage rings fell on the bed, piling up into a small hill.
She picked up a piece of gold that had been stained with blood and began to sort out the gains from Xuanwang City.
Since Xiang Hongyu wanted to use her as a cauldron, it was unlikely that he would do so before her injuries healed.
Her injuries were extremely serious. Xiang Hongyu treated her as a mortal, and the healing pills he gave her were of limited efficacy. If she did not use the Yuanquan, it would take at least two months for her to recover.
With this calculation, there is still plenty of time. She has enough time to think about how to deal with it, so there is no need to rush.
No words were spoken that night.
The next morning, Xiang Sheng was halfway through her breakfast when she saw Fourteen running towards her excitedly, "Miss Sheng, I'm here to see you!"
Xiang Sheng saw him and smiled, "You've come just in time. Please have dinner with me."
After saying that, she motioned the maid to go down.
After dismissing his attendants, Fourteen didn't hesitate and pulled a stool to sit down. He stared at Xiang Sheng and said immediately, "Didn't you sleep well last night? Is your injury too painful?"
"Did you see that?"
Xiang Sheng pressed the dark circles under his eyes and asked with a smile, "Are you used to staying in the sect for a while?"
"What's the use of getting used to it? People like us are lucky to be alive and have enough to eat."
Fourteen curled his lips and said, "It's you, Miss Sheng, who has suffered a lot, right? At that time, I said that you and I should go together. With me protecting you, your injuries would definitely not be so serious now."
"You are quite confident."
Xiang Sheng laughed dumbly. "There's no point in talking about the past. I'm fine now, aren't I? Instead of talking about all that, why don't you share some of the rumors you've heard about the sect over the past two months to cheer me up?"
Fourteen immediately became excited upon hearing this, shaking his head and saying, "If I were to say who's the most popular rumor lately, it's that 'Lu's Witch'."
Xiang Sheng was immediately stunned. "How could the news spread so quickly?"
Fourteen was immediately surprised, "You heard about it too?"
