"So the wounds and blood on your bodies are from you killing each other under the influence of the gas?"
"Yes." Yin Shican looked at his fellow apprentices lying on the ground, their lives unknown, with a look of grief and guilt on his face. "Master and several uncles entrusted my fellow apprentices to me, but I failed to protect them. It's all my fault. If only I could have persuaded them back then, it would have been better."
"It's not your fault."
As Xu Qiuqian spoke, he squatted down to check the breath of everyone. Fortunately, they were all still alive.
"Isn't it my fault?" Yin Shican looked bewildered. "But Master and Uncle gave them to me. They were seriously injured and their cultivation declined. I didn't take good care of my fellow apprentices. Isn't this my fault?"
"Although they are your junior brothers and sisters, they are also independent people with their own thoughts and actions. You cannot influence them with your own thoughts. Just like you said, you tried to persuade them, but it didn't work. So even if they were seriously injured and their cultivation declined, it was their own behavior. They made their own decisions, so they should bear the consequences themselves, instead of asking you, who has made the greatest effort, to bear the consequences."
She was the senior sister of this group of people, but after all, she was just a teenager.
Yes, kid.
Xu Qiuqian was already over a hundred years old in the interstellar space, so in her eyes, Yin Shican, Chen Wei, and the boy she rescued were all still children.
Not to mention that this child is too sensible.
Yin Shican was still confused, but it was obvious that she was no longer dwelling on whether it was her fault or not, but was digesting what Xu Qiuqian said.
Seeing this, Xu Qiuqian did not disturb him.
He bought some healing pills from the Void Mall, and took out pills for increasing cultivation from the shelf and handed them to Yin Shican.
"Eat it first, and then feed it to your fellow apprentices."
Yin Shican quickly shook his head: "How can I accept this? I have already caused a lot of trouble for you, and now you have saved my life and the lives of my fellow apprentices and sisters, and now you want to give me medicine as a gift. How can I accept it?"
"Take it, or are you just going to take them back like this?"
"That won't work either. I can't accept any more pills from you, senior."
Seeing this, Xu Qiuqian smiled helplessly: "You must have made a mistake. My pills are not free."
"I really...ah?" Yin Shican was stunned, "It's not free?"
"Yes, this is a grocery store, and I sell these things. Of course, I'm not giving them to you for free, otherwise how would I make a living?" She didn't say it before because she thought that based on Yin Shican's character, he would definitely give her spirit stones.
I didn’t expect that the kid thought so highly of her and thought she was giving it to him for free.
How is that possible!
She still needs to save up 60,000 points to repair her spiritual veins, so points are her life. She can get a discount, but it definitely can't be free!
Now it was Yin Shican's turn to be embarrassed.
"Uh, this... yes, I misunderstood. If that's the case, then I'll accept it. I wonder how many spirit stones these pills cost?"
"5 bottles of Soul-Enriching Pills, each bottle costs 200 Spiritual Stones, 3 bottles of Recovery Pills, each bottle costs 500 Spiritual Stones, totaling 2,500 low-grade Spiritual Stones."
No discount at all.
Well, she was given a discount by hosting these people for one night.
"I'll give it to you right away." Yin Shican opened the storage bag at a loss, but remained silent.
"What's wrong?"
"I have already bought some elixirs and talismans for calming the mind and spirit. I don't have that many spirit stones. Can you please remember them and immediately..."
Xu Qiuqian smiled slightly, her expression gentle, but her words were cold: "This is a small shop, no credit is accepted."
“…”
After another moment of silence, Yin Shican squatted down, her cheeks flushed with shame, and said, "I'm sorry, Junior Sister. I'll return it to you when I get back."
After searching through the storage bags of two people, he finally collected 2,500 spirit stones.
"Give."
Xu Qiuqian took it, her smile was much more genuine, and her voice was even gentler: "Here, you can rest here tonight. The pills should be enough. If not, you can call me again."
Yin Shican felt that she had never been so embarrassed in her life. Her face turned red but she still pretended to be calm: "Thank you, senior."
He is still a child who cares about his reputation.
Very cute.
After exchanging two thousand five hundred spirit stones, Xu Qiuqian went back to sleep.
Perhaps because he thought there were so many people unconscious downstairs, Xu Qiuqian's sleep was not very restful and he woke up just after dawn.
She went downstairs and saw Yin Shican calling other people.
Two or three of them have already woken up, and I fed them the elixir.
"How is it?" Xu Qiuqian walked over and asked her.
"It's not a big problem, it's just that my junior brother is seriously injured, maybe..." Yin Shican said, with a guilty look on his face.
Xu Qiuqian glanced at the junior brother Yin Shican mentioned, who was the young man who had taken on this task when he was in Xianwu Pavilion before.
It seemed that the situation was indeed serious. Even she, a person with damaged spiritual veins, could feel that his aura was extremely unstable and even his breathing had become weak.
Xu Qiuqian frowned.
She had clearly heard before that this dark yellow gas would cause a decline in cultivation and would likely have a huge impact, but she had never heard it would be so serious.
“Has its impact on humans increased?”
"What did you say, Senior?"
Xu Qiuqian came back to his senses and shook his head.
"It's okay, you guys go back first, he doesn't look very good."
At this time, most people were awake and knew that they were rescued by Xu Qiuqian, and they all thanked her.
Before leaving, Yin Shican said seriously, "Don't worry, senior. I will inform the sect of this matter. The dark yellow gas in Hong'an Street must be dealt with. If we leave it alone, it will be bad if it spreads to other places."
"good."
Xu Qiuqian did not refuse. Yin Shican's worry was not unreasonable. Although it was only spreading in Hong'an Street, who knew if it would spread further? What if it spread to the whole city? After Yin Shican left, Xu Qiuqian opened the store door.
Just then, a hoarse cry of surprise was heard from the shop.
Is the boy awake? Xu Qiuqian walked inside and saw that the boy was indeed awake. However, when he saw her, he seemed to be frightened. He shrank to the corner of the bed, hugged his knees and trembled.
"Don't, don't hit me..."
She heard the boy speak fearfully, his eyes full of fear and his voice trembling with tears.
"I won't hit you, don't be afraid, come here and let me see your injuries." Xu Qiuqian's voice was soft and his expression was gentle.
Upon hearing this, the young man glanced at Xu Qiuqian, then quickly lowered his head, huddled in the corner as if he hadn't heard her words.
Xu Qiuqian was helpless.
I don’t know what this child has been through, he is as timid as a frightened rabbit.
Just at this moment.
"Is anyone in the store?"
Xu Qiuqian's eyes lit up.
Guests are coming!
Without bothering to comfort him, she turned and hurried towards the door.
