Chapter 182 Jinjiang Debut
"Next, please complete the intermediate main task - killing the snake demon."
The white light disappeared along with the sound of the system, and Bai Mian's thoughts returned to reality.
In just a few minutes, Bai Mian recalled the memories of the past hundreds of years. The scent of osmanthus was still lingering at her nose. She wanted to find her sister's immortal bones as soon as possible, and then return to heaven to clear her sister's name.
Thinking of this, Bai Mian quickened her pace. It was time to say goodbye to her master and mistress. Although the two old people had always treated her well, she had more important things to do.
Bai Mian knocked on the door of the two elderly people. They were a little surprised to see her. Gao Jin said kindly, "Mian Mian, it's so late, what's the matter?"
Bai Mian: "I'm here to say goodbye to you two."
"Saying goodbye?" Gao Jin was very surprised. "Where are you going?"
"I want to go home," Bai Mian said, "back to my real home."
"Ah, so you have recovered your memory?" Gao Jin seemed to understand. "I remember when you first came here you said you didn't remember anything. Do you remember everything now? What are your parents' names? Do they also live in Qingshui Town?"
Weng Xuhua stretched out a hand and stopped Gao Jin from asking questions. He already had some guesses in his mind: "Child, the home you are talking about is probably not in the human world, right?"
Bai Mian nodded. In order not to cause extra trouble to the two old men, she did not reveal her life story. But since her master had already guessed it, she did not need to hide it any longer.
Gao Jin was stunned: "You - you are not human?"
Although she had had many speculations before, she was still very surprised to see Bai Mian admit it now. After all, she had lived her entire life and had never seen life from other worlds.
Weng Xuhua had already made preparations. He sighed leisurely, "As early as the second day you came to my shop, I knew you were not an ordinary person. I also knew that you would not stay in the shop for long, but I always hoped that you could stay longer. I have studied medicine all my life, but I have never formally accepted an apprentice. I was thinking that when I retire in the future, I will pass on my skills to you..."
As Weng Xuhua spoke, his eyes turned red, and Gao Jin also lowered her head and began to wipe away her tears. They had just finished their farewell dinner with Lame Brother, and now their beloved little disciple was leaving again. What a huge blow this was to them.
Bai Mian straightened up and bowed to the two elderly people: "Master and Madam, thank you for your kindness in taking me in these days. I have no way to repay you, so I can only leave you my live broadcast account and all the income in the account. If you don't know how to operate it, Yinyin will help you. With this money, you two can rest assured in your old age even if you don't work anymore. This is my filial piety to you."
As he spoke, Bai Mian took out the mobile phone he used for live streaming and placed it on the table, and wrote the account number and password in the memo. As of today, Ci Xin Tang's live streaming room already has 800,000 fans. As long as they are used properly, these 800,000 fans will be enough to become the retirement insurance for the two elderly people.
Although Bai Mian can no longer broadcast fortune-telling live, Weng Xuhua has rich knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. If this account is turned into a knowledge popularization account, I believe fans will also like to read it.
The account's accumulated live streaming income has reached seven figures. Bai Mian has made several small withdrawals, and the rest is all here.
Before someone knocked on the door, Bai Mian briefly recorded a video to say goodbye to everyone. The comment section exploded instantly, and the video became the number one hot search on the platform.
[Master Bai will not broadcast it anymore. Is this really not a prank? Today is not April Fools’ Day.
[Ahhh, don’t go, sister. I want to ask you to tell my fortune later! 】
[Woohoo, my electronic mustard tuber is gone, I won’t enjoy eating anymore from now on! 】
[Don’t go, Swallow, how can I live without you! 】
[I have watched Sister without missing a single episode since it was first aired. I have completely regarded Sister as a friend. I feel that Sister is kind and has a sense of justice. Her fortune-telling is so accurate. Why did she leave so suddenly? Could it be that she was tricked by her rivals...]
[Support sister to change platform, we are willing to follow you! 】
[Everyone, don’t get excited. I believe the master must have more important things to do. We just need to wait for her patiently.]
[Yes, I believe that sister will not abandon us like this, we are willing to wait for you to come back! 】
Although fans were reluctant to let them go, Bai Mian remained unmoved. She placed her phone on the table, and from then on, the Ci Xin Tang account completely belonged to the two elderly people.
Of course, the two old men didn't care about these things at all. They cared more about Bai Mian. Weng Xuhua asked worriedly, "My little disciple, after you go home, will you be completely safe and don't have to participate in those fighting and killing things anymore?"
"right."
In order to reassure the old man, Bai Mian lied.
Gao Jin reluctantly grabbed Bai Mian's hand: "Mian Mian, is the place you are going to far away? What is that place? Can we go there? Mian Mian, in the future... in this life, will we have a chance to meet again?"
Bai Mian's eyes flashed red for a moment, and she promised: "Don't worry, Master's wife, we will definitely meet again. When there is a chance in the future, I will definitely come back to see you!"
Gao Jin forced a smile and said, "Then I will take good care of myself and wait for you to come and see me. Mianmian, you must remember this, don't ever forget it!"
Weng Xuhua patted her on the shoulder and said, "The road ahead will be difficult. If you are not happy there, just come back home. Cixin Hall will always be your home, and we will always be your family."
Bai Mian didn't say anything else. She shook hands with the two old people vigorously, then ran out in a hurry. If she stayed any longer, she was afraid that she would not be able to hold back her tears.
After running out of the hotel, Bai Mian first returned to Ci Xin Tang. The police had already cleaned up the gasoline at the scene and removed the cordon. She went upstairs on the pretext of getting something. Before going to attend Que Ge's dinner party last night, she left Xiao Bai in the bedroom. After last night's turmoil, she didn't know how Xiao Bai was doing.
"Xiaobai? Xiaobai!"
Bai Mian searched every corner of the bedroom but couldn't find Xiaobai. She called out several times, but Xiaobai didn't come out. It seemed that Xiaobai was no longer there.
The bedroom window was open. It must be because there was too much noise at the door last night that Xiaobai was frightened and jumped out of the window and ran away. However, Xiaobai was a fairy rabbit after all and would not be harmed in the human world, so Baimian didn't have to worry.
It's useless to look for it aimlessly like this, so it's better to ignore it for now. After you complete the main quest and get all your mana back, you can use the Thousand Miles Tracking Spell to find Xiaobai.
Thinking this, Bai Mian returned to the hotel. On the way, she posted a message to her friends, telling them that she was leaving. Officer Chen liked her post. After seeing it, Sister Yang sent Bai Mian a long thank-you letter. Although Lame Brother didn't understand why Bai Mian wanted to leave, he also sent his blessings and a big red envelope to Bai Mian.
The most surprised were the sisters Xia Mang and Lu Xue. They had just arrived not long ago, and Bai Mian was about to leave Ci Xin Tang. They hurriedly called to ask the reason. Bai Mian comforted them with kind words and finally asked the two sisters to stay and help her do something big. When they heard that they could participate in Bai Mian's big event, the two sisters instantly became excited again.
Seeing Bai Mian coming back, Weng Xuhua sighed and said, "Little apprentice, has our shop been cleaned up? If everything is fine, I will go back quickly, paint the walls, and then continue business."
"Don't worry."
Bai Mian took out his cell phone and saw a caller ID from an unfamiliar number.
Bai Mian picked up the phone, and the person on the other end of the line said, "Hello, is this Doctor Weng? I learned about your situation online, and I'm willing to fund your renovation. Don't worry about the store."
Weng Xuhua waved his hands quickly: "Oh, it must be the fans on the Internet, right? That won't do. This is our own business. We pay for it ourselves. How can we let the fans pay for it?"
The woman changed her tone: "No, I'm not a fan on the Internet. I'm a patient you treated before. I came here specially to thank you, Doctor Weng. My name is Yunxiao. Do you remember me?"
"Yunxiao?" Weng Xuhua hesitated for a moment, then shook his head firmly, "I don't remember receiving a patient like you."
"Doctor Weng, you are so forgetful. I was still young at that time, only eight years old. My parents took me to Qingshui Town for a trip. I suddenly had a high fever and it was you who saved me with a decoction. Don't you remember everything?" Yunxiao's voice seemed a little disappointed.
"This... I..." Weng Xuhua began to doubt himself. He really didn't remember such a thing, but seeing Yunxiao talking about it so convincingly, it seemed like it was true.
Yunxiao continued, "Don't worry, I will arrange for renovation workers to come over this time. They will not only help you repair the storefront, but also renovate the entire store. Your store has been open for decades, and the decoration is all old. It's a good opportunity to replace it with a new one."
Gao Jin was a little moved: "Old man, what they said is right. The original paint in our store is old, and the wall paint keeps falling down, sometimes even falling into the bowls. It's time to redecorate it!"
"But..." Weng Xuhua still wanted to refuse, "It would be a waste of time to renovate the entire store. I just want to repair the facade and then I can continue to operate. There are still many patients waiting for me!"
Yunxiao was very patient: "There is no rush for business. I have arranged a special event for you. You are living in the store. It will be very noisy during the renovation period, and the air in the store is not good. You can't live here anymore. Listen to me. Nanguan City is holding a national traditional Chinese medicine exchange conference recently. Many famous doctors will go there, and many rare medicinal materials will be exhibited there. I invite you to come to Nanguan City to study for two months. During this period, someone will be your tour guide. How about it?"
Gao Jin's eyes lit up: "Going to Nanguan City for a two-month trip? That's great. Nanguan City has so many delicious foods, and we can also see the sea. Old man, we can finally travel together!"
Weng Xuhua was also somewhat tempted, but still hesitant: "I'm not interested in traveling, but I really want to go to this Chinese medicine exchange conference. I can meet colleagues from all over the world and exchange experiences with each other. It's a great blessing! But... you are so nice to us, is it a scam?"
Bai Mian explained for Yun Xiao: "Master, if she was a fraud, would I still tell you about this call?"
Weng Xuhua smiled: "Yes, I feel relieved with my little apprentice here. Since it is not a scam and they sincerely invite us to play, let's go. It just happens to fulfill my wife's wish."
The two sides communicated some details and finally finalized the matter. The people sent by Yunxiao will arrive at the hotel tonight, pick up the two elderly people, and then take them to Nanguan City by plane. At the same time, the decoration team will enter Cixin Hall to start construction. With Yinyin supervising on the side, the two elderly people don’t have to worry about the decoration.
After hanging up the phone, Weng Xuhua was still confused: "Did I really save a girl named Yunxiao? How come I have no memory of it at all?"
Gao Jin advised: "There must be. If not, why would they spend real money to invite you? Besides, there are so many patients who have come here. Can you remember everyone's name?"
"Well, maybe I'm really old and my brain doesn't remember things anymore..." Weng Xuhua muttered dejectedly.
Bai Mian smiled slightly. If his master remembered correctly, he had never saved a patient named Yunxiao. This Yunxiao did not come to thank his master, but to thank her, because Yunxiao was the girl of the twins who were thrown away by the couple many years ago.
At that time, Bai Mian took the pulse of the couple, and although he figured out Yunxiao's affair, he concealed it for Yunxiao. Yunxiao also saw the live broadcast and was very grateful to Bai Mian. Bai Mian saved her a big trouble, and she didn't want to get entangled with that family.
Later, Yunxiao became a fan of Bai Mian and had been following Bai Mian's live broadcasts. After seeing the video of the accident at the store last night, she immediately decided to help Ci Xin Tang overcome this difficult time.
She had wanted to find an opportunity to repay Bai Mian in the future, but since Bai Mian was leaving, she decided to repay Bai Mian's master and express her gratitude.
But she was the daughter of the Yun Group after all. In order to avoid trouble, she could not tell the real reason why she helped the old couple, so she just made up such an excuse to fool them.
Bai Mian had foreseen this scene when he was taking Hu Laoba's pulse, so he dared to let Hu Laoba burn down the store.
Bai Mian spent the whole day with the two old people in the hotel room. In the evening, the special car sent by Yunxiao was waiting at the door. After watching the two old people get in the car with their luggage, Bai Mian finally breathed a sigh of relief. After the car drove away, Gao Jin was still looking back at her reluctantly.
She was glad that the two old people left at this time, otherwise if they knew what she was going to do next, they would be worried about her again.
In the dead of night, Bai Mian returned to his room alone and called out the system:
"Ling Di, tell me in detail how the task of killing the snake demon should be carried out."
