Chapter 056 Jin丨Exclusive release by Jiang Wenxue

Speaking of whips, Xie Heng came out of the alchemy room in a wheelchair and asked Hu Sheng who was standing outside: "Where is Gong Jiu?"

Hu Sheng: "Master Jiu left the island the day before yesterday. You have been obsessed with refining the elixir these days and ignored the secular world, so I didn't tell you."

Xie Heng nodded, pushed the wheelchair back to the alchemy room, and threw the weighed cinnabar in: [Brother is quiet, he must be making trouble.]

System: [There is no way, who made him your brother.]

Xue Chen: [The whip is too far to reach, ignore him for now, it is important to brush the vest synchronization rate.]

Bao Xiruo is introducing Wan Yankang's master to Liu Yixuan.

"Kang'er's master is Taoist Priest Qiu Chuji, the Changchunzi of the Quanzhen Sect. Taoist Priest Qiu is very famous in the martial arts world, and he shouldn't have condescended to teach a child like Kang'er. He stayed in his mansion because of some old things. He is a straightforward and upright person, and he is serious and responsible in teaching Kang'er. He hates this child to be lazy the most."

Wanyan Kang defended himself: "How can I be lazy? He is idle and has a lot of free time on weekdays. I have to study and learn how to do things from my father. Where can I have so much time? If I spend all my time on him, I won't even have time to make friends."

Bao Xiruo: "You don't have to make friends with those friends of yours."

Wanyan Kang looked at Liu Yixuan: "Are you from Zhejiang, sister?"

Liu Yixuan nodded.

Wanyan Kang: "How long have you been in the capital?"

Liu Yixuan stretched out her finger and made a gesture.

Wanyan Kang: "It turns out that you have only been here for five days, so you must not be familiar with the place yet. Have fun today. If there is a chance in the future, I can also take you to attend some banquets of nobles

and make more friends." Bao Xiruo frowned slightly, as if she didn't agree. She was about to refute her son's words, but saw Liu Yixuan's longing look. She thought that she really had no friends in the capital. The only people of her age in the palace were the maids and servants. As his adopted daughter, she would be out of place if she made friends with those servants. She really should get to know more people.

After Yang Tiexin died, her heart was also silent.

She has been missing the past for ten years, unable to walk out of that period of time. Although she looks glamorous, she has actually become rotten and old, abandoned by time.

She herself is confined to a small room in the palace, and she can't confine Xiao Liu here as well.

Bao Xiruo: "After all, your sister Liu'er is a woman, and it is inconvenient for her to go out. Kang'er, please take care of her more and don't let her get wronged outside."

Wanyan Kang: "Of course!"

Liu Yixuan smiled and watched them talk about herself quietly.

No matter what Wanyan Kang had in mind, at least he was warm and friendly on the surface, and he looked handsome and likable, which invisibly brought him closer to this sister who he had known for less than two days.

Bao Xiruo arranged the trip this time. She took Liu Yixuan to visit the shops in the city and bought him some rouge and powder. She also picked out some fashionable fabrics, preparing to go back and make him clothes, bedding, pillows, curtains, and even the gauze for the windows.

Someone sent these things back to the palace. Liu Yixuan was still relaxed and followed his stepmother. He didn't have to do anything but smile at her.

System: [I don't think she is a person who is extravagant. Why is she so unrestrained in spending money on you?]

Xue Chen: [This is the charm of a goddess.]

System: [She is a great beauty herself. She shouldn't be completely defenseless, right? 】

Xue Chen:【First of all, Xiao Liu is very good-looking. Secondly, Xiao Liu has a miserable life. He has never seen any good things since he was a child. Now he lacks everything. Moreover, he is young, looks very well-behaved, and has a stable mood. He will not suffer from self-esteem because of being helped by others. He is a very perfect poverty alleviation object.】

System:【Yes.】

Xue Chen:【If you want to replace him with a rebellious one, he will definitely not be treated like this now. It is not good to have such a face. Not being able to speak can arouse the sympathy of others, but the sense of existence will inevitably be reduced, and no one will see any grievances. Xiao Liu's appearance is destined to make him be noticed by others, and it is easier for him to get what he wants than others.】

System:【For example, if you want to use Bao Xiruo's cosmetics, she will immediately find out that you are short of cosmetics, and then buy you so many. 】

Xue Chen:【But these are not the main reasons.】

System:【Huh?】

Xue Chen:【Helping others is not for the sake of seeking rewards, but for the realization of self-worth and emotional satisfaction, just like Hua Man Lou helping others for pleasure, it is the same reason, but Bao Xiruo does not love life as much as he does.】

Walking around the street, Liu Yixuan had three more hairpins on his head and two small sachets on his waist. Wan Yankang also gave him a small and cute golden bell, which was woven into a long silk thread with agate and hung loosely around his waist, replacing the jade pendant as an ornament.

Wanyan Kang smiled and said, "In this way, no one will know where my sister goes without saying anything."

Liu Yixuan fiddled with the bell. It should be made of pure gold, with flowing cloud patterns and the word "peace" carved on it. The sound it made was not as hard as the collision of jade, but crisp and ethereal, not abrupt, and because there was only one bell, it didn't feel noisy.

Xue Chen: [How much of this stuff can my brother, the prodigal son, make with the gold he gave away?]

System: [Be patient, the child is still young.]

Xue Chen: [???]

Wanyan Kang is shorter than Liu Yixuan. He wears a red robe, black boots, red lips, white teeth, and bright eyes. At first glance, he is from a wealthy family. When he intends to get close to others, his eyes are full of sincerity, which easily makes people let down their guard.

He looked at Liu Yixuan expectantly at this moment: "Does your sister like it?"

Liu Yixuan smiled and nodded.

Wanyan Kang seemed to be relieved: "The first time I saw it, I felt that it was a good match for you. It is really beautiful. I have never had brothers or sisters since I was a child. I have always envied others for having brothers and sisters. Now that I have a sister, I am so happy."

System: [Sweet mouth.]

Xue Chen: [I wish my brother could be like this...]

The system imagined Gong Jiu calling him brother in this tone, and shuddered, [Have you forgotten that you are twins!]

Xue Chen: [What's wrong with twins? Can't twins have a cute brother?]

System: [Don't you think about yourself?]

Xue Chen: [After playing so many aliases, I understand one thing: as long as the souls are different, it doesn't matter. You see, Xie Heng, Xiao Mian, and Xiao Liu all look different, but they have the same soul inside, so they are all me. Even if my brother and I are exactly the same, we are two different individuals. Whatever happens to him has nothing to do with me.]

System: [What if he gets sick?]

Xue Chen thought about it: [As long as he doesn't let me beat him, it has nothing to do with me.]

System: [I don't know why, but I'm a little scared.]

Xue Chen: [Are you afraid that I will slowly get used to my perverted brother?]

System: [Yes.]

Xue Chen thought thoughtfully: [I seemed to be very resistant before, but now I'm much better. Does it mean that as long as I lower my goal...]

​​System: [No! Stop thinking, stop thinking! You are a normal person! 】

Xue Chen: [Hmm...]

Wanyan Kang was quite familiar with the capital. Although he was young, he had already learned how to greet and see off guests, and had entered the world of adults at an early age.

He took his mother and sister to the tavern they often visited. When they saw the little prince coming, they received him warmly. Wanyan Kang responded calmly, joked with others with a smile, booked a good room, and brought Liu Yixuan and the others to have dinner.

After dinner, several people went to the temple again, strolled among the mountain springs, pine trees and cypress trees, and finally worshiped in front of the Buddha, offered incense money, and had a vegetarian meal before returning home in the evening.

Liu Yixuan didn't have to cook anymore. She sat with Bao Xiruo for a while and then returned to her own residence.

The things bought during the day were delivered early and placed in the room.

Liu Yixuan looked around and stared at these things for a while.

System: [What's wrong? Something is missing? Or has someone planted intelligence in there?]

Xue Chen: [I'm so tired, I don't want to move at all. Now I just want to be paralyzed. I don't have the energy to clean up.]

System: [Then I'll clean up tomorrow.]

Xue Chen: [Xiao Liu's personality shouldn't delay until tomorrow... Alas, I'm so miserable. I obviously have a high status, but I have to open a vest and do so many jobs in secret.]

The system comforted him: [Wait until the synchronization rate is refreshed, and you will feel relieved.]

Liu Yixuan took off the jewelry on her body, let her hair spread out, and simply tied it up with a jade hairpin. She took off the jewelry on her body, changed into clothes that were convenient for movement, walked to the box, and sorted and checked it out by category.

System: [Why doesn't Xiao Liu wait until tomorrow?]

Xue Chen: [As an undercover agent, you must be cautious and be aware of everything around you to prevent any accidents. I'm undercover in Prince Zhao's mansion, keeping an eye on every move here, but there may be people watching me in Prince Zhao's mansion.]

System: [It sounds like a lot of mental pressure.]

Xue Chen: [Tong'er, if you were Wanyan Honglie, would you be able to find out that the lock of the study has been moved?]

System; [I don't even remember what that lock looks like... No wonder you maxed out your [Memory] first, and you're always staring at the furnishings in the room in a daze. Are you memorizing them?]

Xue Chen: [I'm comparing them with where they were when I left. 】

System: [Touch it, it must be tiring. 】

Liu Yixuan squatted in front of the box for a long time due to poor physical condition. When he stood up, his eyes went dark. He quickly held the box and it took him a long time to recover.

He slowly walked to the dressing table, picked up the bell that Wanyan Kang had given him during the day, opened the door, and shook it to the outside.

System: [Xiao Liu looks very weak, but why do I feel like you are a little arrogant? 】

Xue Chen: [I think so too. I don’t know why, but I suddenly had the illusion that I was calling a dog to come for dinner. 】

System: [……]

The servant on duty outside heard the sound, saw Liu Yixuan standing at the door, walked over and asked: "Miss, what do you want?"

Liu Yixuan turned sideways, pointed to the copper basin inside, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

He used to do the things of fetching water and washing by himself, but today he was too tired, and felt that he might faint after walking a few steps, so he had to ask someone for help.

The man asked: "Do you want hot water?"

Liu Yixuan nodded.

The man: "Miss, wait a moment, I'll go get some water now."

Liu Yixuan leaned against the door frame, looking frail: [We have to find a way to publicize Xiao Liu's illness. Who would have thought that I was the one who climbed over the eaves and walls at night and stole the secrets of the palace? 】

System: [Great! 】

Xue Chen:【But before that, I have to think of a way to fool the pulse, so that my mother won't ask a doctor to diagnose me and tell my gender by just taking my pulse.】

System:【What are you going to do?】

Xue Chen:【Xie Heng's medical skills are very good, let me use his brain to think about it... Most men's pulses are stronger, and other than that, they are not much different from women's. If the body is weak to a certain extent, it may cause confusion, but the doctor will make a judgment based on my physical condition...】

Xie Heng leaned back in his chair and frowned slightly.

Liu Yixuan was far away in the capital of the Jin Kingdom, and the two vests could not meet. He could not make an accurate judgment on the physical condition of the vest.

Xiao Liu could check his pulse, but he didn't turn on skills like [Diagnosis], so he didn't know much about this aspect and the information he got was extremely limited.

Xie Heng put his right hand on his left wrist, tried quietly for a while, and came to the conclusion: [You still have to use medicine.]

System: [Send someone from the nameless island to deliver it to Xiao Liu?]

Xue Chen: [No need to be so troublesome, Xie Heng writes down a prescription, Xiao Liu writes it down, and then we can secretly get some.]

The young man in the wheelchair was about to move to the table, when the alchemy furnace suddenly made some subtle noises. He turned his head and looked at the furnace expectantly.

The sound suddenly became clear.

Xie Heng made a prompt decision, exerted force on his legs, propped up his arms, pushed himself forward, and fell to the ground.

He didn't care about too much, and dragged his weak legs to crawl a few steps. Just when he was about to reach the shield standing on the wall, there was a loud "bang" behind him, and the house shook slightly, and dust fell down.

The fragments of the alchemy furnace were blown all over the house, and flames ignited after the explosion.

Xie Heng took good safety measures, and the fire did not spread and was extinguished quickly. The black, pungent smoke enveloped the whole room. Xie Heng lay on the ground, breathing a little hard, and kept coughing.

"Sir! Your leg is bleeding." Hu Sheng rushed in from outside, waved his hand, and tried to disperse the thick smoke. He saw Xie Heng on the ground, and quickly came over to pick him up. His hands were a little sticky, and when he looked down, he saw some porcelain pieces stuck in his legs.

Hu Sheng rushed out of the alchemy room in a few steps, "Is there anything else wrong?"

Xie Heng leaned over him and coughed for a long time: "No... I hope there is something wrong... How come there is nothing wrong at all?"

Xue Chen: [This should be considered a smoke bomb? Add some poison to it, increase the weight, and whoever it hits will die! ]

System: [Do you still want to continue making explosives? Xue Chen: Of course, I think the progress in these experiments is obvious ,

which means I have found the right direction. It is indeed the right choice to use the thunder bomb as a reference. It won't be long before I can develop an alchemy furnace that can blow up a house.

System: ...Be careful. Xie Heng

looked back at the alchemy room which was still emitting black smoke, and pushed Hu Sheng: "Carry me over there to have a look."

Hu Sheng was unmoved: "Seeking immortals and asking for the truth is really ethereal, please take care of your body."

Xie Heng: "Then put me down, and go to the alchemy room to see if there is any fire inside. I didn't use much, so it shouldn't explode again, but you still have to be careful, open the doors and windows first to release the thick smoke, don't let it damage your lungs."

Hu Sheng responded, put Xie Heng on the stone bench in the open space in front, and went into the house himself.

The beams of the alchemy room were not even broken, and it was even more impossible to blow up the thick stone walls. It seemed that except for the smoke, it had no effect at all.

Hu Sheng stood opposite Xie Heng and spoke to him for the first time in an unhappy tone: "I will tell Master Jiu about this."

Xie Heng raised his eyes: "He promised me that he would not interfere in my affairs."

This reason could not convince Hu Sheng. Xie Heng had blown up the furnace many times during this period, but the power was very small and there was no threat.

Only this time, the fragments of the furnace were blown away and pierced into Xie Heng's leg.

Mr. Hu squatted down and opened the hem of his clothes. The clothes inside were already soaked with blood. "If this fragment flew higher, it would have pierced your head."

"No, my upper body was blocked by the wheelchair." Xie Heng said, "It was unfortunate that I was a little far away from the shield. If I was closer, I could have covered myself tightly and would not have been injured at all. This was an accident, and my legs were useless, so it doesn't matter whether I was injured or not, not to mention that I can't even feel the pain."

Mr. Hu: "Young Master is already stronger than most people in the world, why do you have to give up like this?"

Xie Heng's attention was all focused on the explosion effect of the alchemy furnace. It took him a while to react: [He doesn't think that I am desperately refining the elixir for the purpose of cultivating immortality? ]

System: [Very likely! Studying medicine can't save your legs, only cultivating immortality can offer a way out! 】

Xue Chen: 【This is speechless, I just want to make some dynamite, why is it so difficult? Watch me develop a powerful pill furnace in the future, blow up the Nameless Island, and wash away the shame on my body! 】

System: 【……】

Others are developing pills, only you, who are messing with the inferior pill furnace every day.

System: 【Why are you so persistent in making dynamite? Xiao Mian, come over with a knife and chop it, wouldn't the Nameless Island be doomed? 】

【…Don't make killing sound like cutting sugarcane. 】Xue Chen said, 【I once vowed to make Xie Heng's [Alchemy] skill glow and heat, but at this level, the light and heat are far from enough. 】

System: 【……】
