Chapter 197 The Demon Cult Witch 26

The daylilies in the Juexian Pavilion are growing better and better.

The flowerpots could no longer meet its growth needs, so Yao Rong transplanted it to her own yard.

When it bloomed for the first time, Yao Rong also collected its seeds and sowed those seeds in the soil around it.

Two years passed in a flash, and the daylilies in the yard were connected into patches and clusters of flowers. But the best one is always the first one.

Ah Xi admired the flowers in the yard for a while, and the left protector came over, walked around Ah Xi, and said distressedly: "You are thinner and darker."

Ah Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

If you say you are darker, you are definitely darker than before.

But this thinness, it should not be.

But the elders are like this. After not seeing her for a long time, even if she has gained weight, they can still say that she has lost weight.

The Left Guardian didn't know what Ah Xi was thinking, and kept repeating: "I must stay at home for a while this time, and go out after I gain some weight."

Ah Xi promised: "Okay, Master Zuo, don't worry."

After coming back this time, she was not in a hurry to go out again.

The trip to the seaside made her gain a lot, and she just wanted to sort out her experience in practicing medicine.

While Ah Xi was busy sorting out, Chen Nan came to her with three thousand taels of silver notes and a box of medical books.

The silver notes were the share of the Rouge Shop, and the medical books were newly collected by Chen Nan.

Ah Xi thanked Chen Nan and poured him a glass of mint water.

After drinking the water, Chen Nan said to A'xi, "I'm leaving now. If you have anything to do, just let me find you."

Seeing him in a hurry, A'xi said, "Brother Chen Nan, wait a minute. Are you free tomorrow?"

Chen Nan turned around and said, "What's the matter?"

"I need to buy some new gadgets for my room. I wanted to ask if you are free to go to the town with me."

Chen Nan's eyes lit up, and he decided to go find Xue Pingfei later and hand over all the things he needed to do tomorrow to Xue Pingfei: "I'm free. I just returned to the sect. What can I be busy with?"

A'xi pursed her lips and smiled, not knowing whether she believed him or not: "Then let's make it this way."

Xue Pingfei wrote quickly, and it was not easy to turn the letter that was one person tall into half a person tall. As long as he worked harder, he would only have to work an extra hour today.

As a result, he just finished cheering himself up in his heart when he heard about Chen Nan's intention.

He looked at Chen Nan dimly, wishing to die with Chen Nan on the spot.

Chen Nan: "You help me tomorrow, and your tasks the day after tomorrow will belong to me."

Xue Pingfei immediately said: "No, all my tasks for the next five days will belong to you."

Chen Nan was very happy: "Okay."

Xue Pingfei was shocked. He deliberately said five days to give Chen Nan enough room for bargaining.

Chen Nan actually agreed so readily. Did the sun rise from the west? The sun

still rose as usual, but Chen Nan was in a good mood.

This mood was like finally seeing the clouds clear.

Even if they just bought some simple things and had a meal in the restaurant, Chen Nan was satisfied.

Because the carriage broke down on the way back, the two returned to the sect a little late and missed the time for the kitchen to start cooking.

A Xi said, "I have eaten the noodles you cooked so many times, but I have never cooked noodles for you. Do you want to try my cooking skills tonight?"

Chen Nan smiled, "Of course, no problem, I will help you?"

While Chen Nan heated the stove, A Xi also washed and cut all the side dishes.

The two of them sat under the starry sky with noodles in their hands. Chen Nan pulled out a box from his sleeve like a magician: "This bracelet is for you."

Ah Xi put the bowl aside and asked curiously: "What kind of bracelet is it?"

"You can open it and see for yourself."

Ah Xi didn't see the bracelet, but just by looking at the box with ornate patterns, she knew that this gift must have been carefully prepared by Chen Nan.

She took the box from Chen Nan's hand and slowly opened it. A bracelet made of polished shells came into view.

Somehow, Ah Xi suddenly thought of Mu Wenxuan.

Many, many years ago, Mu Wenxuan also gave her a shell bracelet. He said that it was a gift for her sixteenth birthday. He also said that this bracelet was very rare and hoped that she liked it.

But Ah Xi knew, and had always known, that the shell bracelet was just a thing Mu Wenxuan bought casually - the style was rough, and when she wore it on her wrist, she was worried that the uneven edges would scratch her skin.

And the bracelet in front of her was actually very rough, but the difference could be seen.

The pattern of each shell was very special.

Each shell was polished to almost the same size, and the edges were flat and smooth, so even if you deliberately touched it, you don't have to worry about being scratched.

"What is this?" Ah Xi asked subconsciously, not knowing what answer she was expecting.

Then, she heard Chen Nan's somewhat embarrassed voice.

After he became the right protector of Juexian Pavilion, he rarely had such an embarrassed posture.

"Didn't I live by the sea for a few months? When the tides rose and fell, many shells would be rolled onto the beach. I picked them up and picked out the more complete and beautiful ones, and polished them into this bracelet."

"Axi, don't think it's simple."

If Axi likes it, Chen Nan can afford any expensive jewelry.

Yao Rong has always been generous, especially to subordinates like Chen Nan who are so capable that they are irreplaceable. She directly gives dividends to the store.

So after a few years, Chen Nan has accumulated a lot of savings.

Compared with money, the time and thought he spent on the shell bracelet are truly rare.

Axi understands the importance of this bracelet.

She slowly tightened her fingertips, then gently loosened them. The disappointment of being treated perfunctorily was finally made up by such seriousness.

"Chen Nan."

Ah Xi called him by his name for the first time: "Please help me put it on."

Chen Nan lowered his eyes slightly, took the shell bracelet from her hand, and couldn't help trembling his fingertips when he held her wrist and touched her skin.

He took a deep breath, held his breath, and tried three times before he successfully put it on Ah Xi.

Ah Xi shook the bracelet and supported her chin with one hand: "I owe you a return gift first."

Chen Nan was a little unsure of her answer: "Will there be a return gift?"

Ah Xi nodded and told him the answer very seriously: "I will start preparing a return gift tonight and give it to you in two days."

Such a serious intention should not be let down, so she will also prepare a return gift carefully.

Ah Xi rarely does needlework, and after working hard all night, she barely made a decent sachet.

She stuffed the dried forget-me-not flowers into the sachet until the sachet was filled up.

Chen Nan happily took the sachet, and casually took the jade pendant worth 100 taels from his waist, and then hung the sachet on it: "What petals are in it? I don't seem to smell any fragrance."

"It's daylily. It doesn't have any special smell, but it can make you forget your worries and help you sleep."

Chen Nan said, "You and the master of the pavilion both like this flower."

Ah Xi said, "At first, my mother liked it very much, and then I gradually liked it too. Forget all the sorrows and start a good life again. Its flower language fits my life so well. I think this flower is the blessing my mother gave me."

From the moment she saw the flower, Ah Xi felt that the forget-worry flower growing on the edge of the cliff was her incarnation.

When the flower bloomed, she also received true redemption.

***

Axi and Chen Nan had never thought about hiding their relationship, so it didn't take long for Yao Rong to find out about it.

[How do you feel now?]

Yao Rong sat by the lake and caught a two-pound grass carp. She took the hook out of the grass carp's mouth and threw it into the fish basket, saying with a smile, "I don't feel anything."

[I thought you would have a bigger reaction]

"In fact, I always hope that she can meet someone who really likes and loves her."

Mu Wenxuan once caused Ah Xi a deep hurt. Maybe Ah Xi never talked about it, but Yao Rong could feel that Ah Xi was once very disappointed in the relationship between men and women.

Chen Nan's existence healed this hurt, so why did Yao Rong oppose it?

However, after Yao Rong finished fishing, he still went to find Ah Xi with a bucket full of fish. They sat in the yard, grilled fish and chatted: "What are your plans next?"

Ah Xi smeared seasoning on the fish: "I want to go to Saibei this time."

"Are you going alone?"

Ah Xi nodded: "Yes."

She and Senior Brother Chen Nan exchanged feelings, but she was still herself.

Maybe one day in the future, she would stop, but the reason for stopping would definitely not be because of Chen Nan.

After the Chinese New Year, Ah Xi set out again.

Saibei is not like the south. It is more chaotic there, and many ethnic groups live together. The influence of the Central Plains martial arts there is not that great.

But fortunately, Yao Rong could receive Ah Xi's letter every month to report safety on time.

Until August, Yao Rong did not receive the letter.

At the same time, the news of the outbreak of plague in the desert city in the northern border spread.

The desert city is a lawless city.

It belongs neither to the Central Plains court nor to the nomadic peoples. People of all skin colors and languages ​​trade in this city very freely.

But this freedom also means that it lacks the unified control and dispatch of official agencies.

Once a major disaster occurs, the desert city has almost no ability to save itself.

Yao Ronglian thought of the worst consequence, her face was heavy, and she took out the system: "Is Ah Xi in the desert city now?"

[...Yes. Yao Rong immediately looked at Chen Nan and said,

"Mobilize all the herbs in Juexian Pavilion. You take a group of people to transport the herbs to Saibei. I will take another group of people with a small group of people to go to Mocheng first."

This city has no ability to save itself, but if Axi wants to save this city, Yao Rong will do whatever it takes to fulfill Axi's idea.
