Xiaoxi noticed Grandpa Ding's confusion. "Uncle Ding, you just need to tell me where your house is located."
Ding Li thought Xiao Xi needed a navigation map, so he entered his home address into his phone's location services and showed it to Xiao Xi.
Xiaoxi laughed, "No need for that, just move closer together."
Xiao Xi threw out an instantaneous talisman, and the four people present, including Mr. Ding's wheelchair, instantly appeared in Mr. Ding's study.
If it weren't for the fact that Grandpa Ding drank Xiaoxi's medicinal tea, he wouldn't have been able to withstand such a shock.
In the blink of an eye, Old Master Ding was back in his study.
The way Grandpa Ding and his son looked at Xiaoxi was different now.
Ye Zhongnan, the youngest apprentice, is already quite capable, but his younger sister, at such a young age, not only knows traditional Chinese medicine but also metaphysics and magic.
Grandpa Ding couldn't help but worry. Could it be true that the young girl had said she suspected her eldest apprentice?
Xiaoxi didn't waste any more time. She asked Grandpa Ding to recall what the fake Ye Zhongnan had done when he returned on that rainy night.
Despite his headache, Old Master Ding was able to stay awake thanks to Xiao Xi's medicinal tea.
“I remember now. That fake guy said he was leaving Shanghai to make his way in the world. He asked me for the mementos left by his senior brother, saying he wanted to keep them as a keepsake.”
"Uncle Ding, did the fake take all of Senior Brother's things?"
"Since my eldest apprentice passed away, I have basically cleared out all the things he left behind. The fake items are just a few small ornaments that my eldest apprentice gave me back then."
I don't remember what he said after that, but I felt dizzy.
When I woke up, I found that all the ornaments were gone; he hadn't left me a single memento of his eldest disciple.
As Mr. Ding just mentioned, his eldest apprentice is an orphan who started working with him at the age of ten. He knows how to carve small handicrafts to please Mr. Ding.
Xiao Xi thought to herself: This eldest apprentice is really stingy. Learning to be a chef doesn't mean carving patterns on food. These are things that come naturally to him. Carving wood is enough to make the old man happy. This is truly a case of seeing the big picture in small things.
At that moment, Ding Li suddenly remembered something.
“Father, my eldest brother gave me a wooden horse back then. It should be in the box in the attic. I’ll go look for it.”
Sure enough, Ding Li brought over a small wooden horse, no bigger than a palm. Xiao Xi knew what was going on when she saw the wooden horse.
The wooden horse still retained a trace of spiritual energy, and Xiaoxi had already concluded that the eldest brother was a fake from the Northwest who was impersonating the second brother.
But she was unwilling to say anything more about her eldest apprentice being a counterfeit, and told the old man to see for himself later, lest she say too much and make him unable to judge for himself.
When Grandpa Ding saw the wooden horse, his eyes reddened.
"This carving technique comes from Dongcheng. When he was a child, his carving skills were still a bit rough. At that time, I happened to teach him how to carve radishes."
Xiao Xi pouted slightly. You treat your eldest apprentice so well, and he almost killed you by stealing your cooking skills. He even called you "Dong Cheng" so affectionately.
Alright, let's set up the formation and let the old man see the real skill.
"Uncle Ding, I might be able to help you regain your cooking skills through this wooden horse."
Grandpa Ding had lost his culinary skills for ten years, which was a permanent pain in his later life. He was a little puzzled: why did he have to use his eldest apprentice's Trojan horse to regain his culinary skills?
But he had already witnessed Xiaoxi's abilities, so he dared not question her further and quickly nodded in agreement.
Xiaoxi asked Dingli to close the doors and windows of the study tightly.
"Uncle Ding, Uncle Ding, you can just watch for a while and don't talk or disturb me."
The three people present saw that red silk threads suddenly appeared out of thin air in Xiaoxi's hand and wrapped around the wooden horse. Then they saw her take out a white jade bracelet and connect it to the red silk threads on the wooden horse.
Then many more talismans flew out and were placed around the wooden horse.
Xiaoxi is about to activate the formation.
The Ding father and son stared wide-eyed, not daring to blink for a moment, afraid of missing any exciting parts.
Xiaoxi suddenly took out another scroll and unfolded it; this was her Anywhere Door.
