"I just accidentally walked into this sunflower field, and he... seemed to think I had offended him."
Wen Xi pointed at the beautiful boy and blinked innocently.
"Humph, I'm just offended, no need to pretend!"
The beautiful boy looked at her coldly.
Xiao Changji said helplessly, "Shao Yan, you can't be so rude. Wen Xi is the master I invited back. She has great abilities. You can't neglect her, understand?"
Xiao Shaoyan looked at Wen Xi with disdain and said disdainfully, "Third Uncle, are you kidding me? This yellow-haired girl, who hasn't even graduated yet, calls herself a master? Is she even more disgusting than a master?"
Wen Xi narrowed her beautiful eyes and said, "You have such a vicious mouth, no wonder your leg suddenly broke."
This sentence directly hit Xiao Shaoyan's sore spot. He supported the wheelchair with one hand and almost wanted to stand up. Of course, he didn't have the ability to do so now.
"Uncle San, she's gone too far. Get her out of the Xiao family right away!"
"Don't tell me to get lost. I'll take the Devil's Hand and leave. You don't need to worry about me anymore."
"Devil's Hand?"
Xiao Shaoyan frowned, looked at Xiao Changji and asked, "Third Uncle, are you going to give her the Devil's Hand?"
"Well, Wen Xi helped me settle the matter of Changji Apartment, so it's only natural for me to give it to her."
Xiao Changji nodded slightly, "Even the matter with the Song family was resolved by her."
Xiao Shaoyan asked suspiciously, "Oh? Did you find Song Shiming?"
"right!"
Wen Xi suddenly smiled at him, squatted down, and under his surprised gaze, raised her hand and touched his knee with her fingertips.
Xiao Shaoyan instantly got furious and raised his hand to push the person, but Wen Xi grabbed it and held it firmly in his hand.
"Wen Xi! You're great!"
Xiao Shaoyan's eyes were red, and his cold and elegant face was filled with all kinds of emotions. He was completely enraged.
"I know I'm fine, you don't have to tell me that again."
Wen Xi curled her lips and said, "I'm just trying to help you with your leg problem out of kindness. With your attitude, you have to beg me sincerely before I can help you."
Shaking off Xiao Shaoyan's hand, Wen Xi stood up with a calm expression.
Xiao Shaoyan was stunned, and even Xiao Changji looked at her in surprise.
Xiao Changji quickly asked, "Could it be that Wen Xi has figured out something?"
"His leg problem isn't congenital, so how come we can't see it?"
Wen Xi said calmly, "Two years ago, I had no feeling in my legs. I visited many famous doctors, but none of them could cure me. They couldn't find the cause, and some even claimed there was nothing wrong with my legs, right?"
Xiao Shaoyan's eyes widened as he looked at Xiao Changji for confirmation, "Third Uncle, have you told her about this as well?"
Xiao Changji shook his head, his eyes complicated. "I never mentioned you to her. These are all calculated by Wen Xi herself. I heard about your ability from Song Shilin a long time ago. I was skeptical at that time, but now I am convinced. I don't know what you have figured out. What is the matter with my nephew's leg? Is it curable?"
"She...she's lying, right?"
Xiao Shaoyan's lips trembled as he spoke doubtfully, but his eyes were full of hope when he looked at her, yet he was afraid that his hope would be shattered.
He used to be a child of destiny, but overnight, his legs became disabled, unpleasant noises came one after another around him, and he became a disabled person. He locked himself in the Xiao residence all day long and refused to step out of the house.
"Not only did I see it, I also know everything. And...his leg disease, it's no exaggeration to say that only I can cure it!"
Wen Xi said firmly.
Xiao Changji exhaled a breath of foul air, "Wen Xi, as long as you can cure my nephew's leg disease, I can give you anything you want, not only that, I will also pay you."
Wen Xi raised an eyebrow and said, "We'll talk about the price later. If you want me to do this, Xiao Shaoyan must apologize to me first."
Both of their eyes were focused on the beautiful boy in the wheelchair.
When Xiao Shaoyan heard the words "can cure", his whole body began to tremble.
But he still said stubbornly, "How can I be sure that you can heal my leg? Why don't you wait until you heal it, and then I'll apologize to you."
"Don't try to provoke me. I won't take it."
Wen Xi said calmly, "If you don't want to be treated, don't force it!"
Xiao Shaoyan gripped the wheelchair handle tightly, his heart beating violently. Holding onto hope, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll apologize. Wen Xi, I'm sorry! Is this okay?"
"It's insincere and too perfunctory!"
“…I’m sorry, Wen Xi!”
"Tsk, the tone of your voice, you want to hit me."
"Wen Xi!! I'm sorry!!"
"You think this is sincerity?"
"Wen Xi, I'm so sorry! I was wrong just now. I mistakenly thought you wanted to pick my sunflowers, so I angrily wanted to drive you away. In fact, I don't like anyone stepping on my flower field. Because of my leg problem, I... have always closed myself in my own world and don't welcome others to disturb me, like a hedgehog... Anyway... I'm sorry!"
Xiao Shaoyan finally compromised, closed his eyes, and apologized while suppressing his bitterness.
Wen Xi finally let him go, "Alright, stop acting like I'm bullying you. It's your fault for being so venomous."
"Can you tell me now?"
Wen Xi said, "Well, actually, your legs are contaminated with corpse qi, and when I touched your legs, I found that there were poisonous insects moving inside."
Xiao Shaoyan and Xiao Changji's faces suddenly became terribly gloomy.
"Corpse Qi? Gu? No wonder it can't be detected medically."
"I suspected it at the time and asked people from the Nangong family to take a look, but they didn't see it."
"This condition didn't develop overnight. It's accumulated over the past two years and has become increasingly severe. The poisonous insect is also very small, eating away at your flesh and blood and nutrients as it slowly grows. You have no sense of pain, so naturally you can't feel it."
Wen Xi said, "As for the corpse qi, it's not simple either."
"Did you go somewhere you shouldn't have been two years ago?"
Seeing Wen Xi's serious eyes looking at him, Xiao Changji knew that he could no longer hide it, and said helplessly, "The thing is, two years ago, our Xiao family's industry in Yunzhou City encountered problems. Shao Yan and my eldest brother, who is also his father Xiao Changhua, went to Yunzhou City together and accidentally discovered a deep tomb hidden under the shelved project. This project is very important to us. At that time, they couldn't wait for the professionals to arrive, so they took people down first.
Later… I don’t know what happened inside, but my eldest brother and his assistant disappeared and have not been found yet. When Shao Yan was found, he was injured and unconscious. After waking up, he couldn’t remember what happened, and his leg was getting worse.
"There's something wrong with that tomb!"
"Yes, I have already cordoned off the scene and have been asking people to go down and check, but nothing has been found!"
Xiao Changji said tiredly, "We have been searching for news of my eldest brother for the past two years, but it's like finding a needle in a haystack. We don't know where he might have gone."
