Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaolin shook his head, a hint of helplessness and doting in his eyes.
"Money is important, but there are many other wonderful things in life that are worth pursuing and cherishing."
He reached out and gently patted Li Xi's head, as if comforting a willful child.
Li Xi pursed her lips. Although she agreed with Qin Xiaolin's words in her heart, she refused to admit it verbally.
That being said, who wouldn't want a better life?
Qin Xiaolin chuckled lightly and did not dwell on the topic any further.
He knew Li Xi's personality well, and knew that she was a person with aspirations and dreams.
Moreover, he believes that given enough time and space, she will definitely be able to create a wonderful life of her own.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Qin Xiaolin changed the subject. "Let's discuss these things with Doctor Meng tomorrow. It's getting late, I should go back now. You've just recovered from a serious illness, you need to rest well."
After Qin Xiaolin left, Li Xi lay in bed for a long time without feeling sleepy.
So she got up, sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and adjusted her breathing.
She felt the flow of energy within her body, trying to guide it in the right direction.
A cool sensation rose from her dantian, like a stream in early spring, slowly flowing through her meridians.
She carefully sensed the flow of this energy, sometimes as gentle as silk, sometimes as turbulent as a tide.
Finally, when all her energy gathered in her dantian, she felt an unprecedented sense of fulfillment.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Xi finally felt a wave of weariness wash over her. She relaxed her body and quickly drifted off to sleep.
Then, after she fell into a deep sleep, the domineering true energy within her body slowly seeped into her dantian...
Unaware of anything else, Li Xi felt full of energy after getting up.
She walked into Meng Zhelan's courtyard feeling refreshed.
Seeing the people drying herbs in the yard, she ran up to Meng Zhelan and boasted, "Lan'er, look, I'm full of strength now, I can kill several wild boars."
Looking at Li Xi's smug expression, Meng Zhelan couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Fine, I know you can do it. Look how smug you are."
Li Xi shrugged, seemingly unconcerned about Meng Zhelan's teasing.
Instead, she puffed out her chest with some pride. "Lan'er, you don't know, I feel like my body has been reborn. I'm full of energy and feel even better than before. It seems your medical skills have improved a lot."
Meng Zhelan was amused by Li Xi's words. She shook her head and laughed, "You really know how to flatter me. But then again, the reason you recovered so quickly is because you have a good constitution. I just did my best."
The two looked at each other and smiled, the atmosphere relaxed and pleasant.
Li Xi stretched her body and felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.
She took a deep breath, and even the air seemed to become much fresher.
"Lan'er, thank you," Li Xi said sincerely.
Meng Zhelan gently patted Li Xi's shoulder, "Do we need to say these things between us? We are sisters, it's only right that we help each other."
Li Xi recalled the cooperation matters that Qin Xiaolin had mentioned last night, and told her what was on her mind.
Upon hearing this, Meng Zhelan's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "Master Feng is truly a master of business! He's absolutely right! Let's hurry and go find him to discuss our cooperation in detail."
After a thorough discussion, Meng Zhelan was very satisfied with his proposed plan. She readily replied, "In that case, let's do as Master Feng wishes! It's a pleasure to cooperate!"
Feng Monian also replied without hesitation: "I will send someone to follow Doctor Meng's orders as soon as possible."
After saying that, he didn't say anything more and went out alone.
Watching Feng Monian's departing figure, Li Xi was momentarily stunned.
Meng Zhelan, who was standing to the side, took in her expression and couldn't help but find it a little funny.
She gently bumped Li Xi's back with her shoulder, then said teasingly, "They're all gone, why are you still looking?"
Li Xi then came to her senses, a blush of embarrassment flashing across her face. She gently shook her head, trying to cover up her lapse in composure: "No, I was just thinking about the cooperation."
Meng Zhelan looked at Li Xi, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.
But he just smiled and said, "I have some preliminary plans for the cooperation. But I need to go to the academy first. I need to give Xiao Yi a follow-up check-up today."
After lying in bed for a few days, she almost forgot that she had a younger brother, even though he wasn't her biological son.
But the deep bond between the siblings over the past ten years is genuine.
"Oh dear, I've been lying in bed for days, I'm practically a cripple. Wait a minute, I'll be right back."
Li Xi jogged to the storeroom, picked out a few tonics to take to Li Yi; they were all good things she had received in the past few days.
Luo Yun sat quietly in Xu Shanzhang's courtyard, holding a chess piece in her hand, her eyes focused intently on the chessboard.
Since Elder Sun disappeared, Master Xu has not encountered any chess players who can compete with him for a long time.
At this moment, he was in a good mood, stroking his long beard and revealing a satisfied smile: "Luo Yun, you really are proficient in everything!"
Xu Shanzhang's voice revealed his appreciation and recognition of Luo Yun.
Luo Yun smiled slightly and humbly replied, "You flatter me, Headmaster. I only have a slight understanding."
The doorman announced that Li Xi and the others had arrived.
Upon hearing this, the two players stopped playing chess simultaneously, their faces showing surprise and confusion.
They exchanged a glance, as if to confirm whether they had misheard.
However, when they saw the lively and energetic Li Xi, they suddenly realized what was happening.
"That's wonderful! You've finally woken up!" Headmaster Xu exclaimed excitedly, his eyes glistening with tears of joy.
He strode forward and gently patted her shoulder.
"Thank you for your concern, Headmaster, and I must also thank you both for your help," Li Xi said sincerely, bowing to the two of them.
Luo Yun slowly placed the chess piece in his hand onto the chessboard.
His gaze lingered on her thoughtfully, a subtle, enigmatic light gleaming in his eyes.
However, this expression lasted only for a brief moment, so quickly that it was almost imperceptible.
"It is thanks to Young Master Li's robust health that the elixir's effects can be fully realized. However, the person I am most grateful to is Doctor Meng. I deeply admire your medical skills, and if the opportunity arises, I humbly request that Doctor Meng generously offer his guidance, so that we may discuss medical matters together and exchange techniques."
Luo Yun said with a smile, his tone humble.
"Without Master Luo's elixir, I'm afraid I would be helpless," Meng Zhelan said, looking down at the bluestone on the ground.
She dared not look into Luo Yun's eyes, always feeling that there was a kind of magic in his eyes, and that he could see right through her.
"You two continue, I'll check on Xiao Yi while I'm at it." Li Xi led Meng Zhelan towards Li Yi's room.
