"What's wrong? Can't we mention Qiqi's master?" Sheng Fan realized that the Ji family was acting strangely. It was after he mentioned Qiqi's master that the old man became agitated. "Could it be that he did something bad to Qiqi?"
When the old man was young, he had a fiery temper. Although he has matured a lot with age, he can't change his ingrained habits. When he gets excited, he can't control his volume.
"Mr. Sheng, keep your voice down!" Ji Jinnian frowned, adjusted his glasses, and glanced towards the kitchen. "Qiqi's master... left a few days ago."
"Left?" Sheng Fan was taken aback. "Where did they go?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Jinnian looked at him with a gaze that was hard to describe.
Sheng Fan immediately realized what this so-called departure meant.
He pursed his lips in an instant of annoyance, a hint of guilt appearing in his eyes.
The little one is a good child, very sentimental. She would do everything in her power to rescue a stranger, let alone the teacher who taught and raised her.
The little guy must be feeling really sad.
No wonder the Ji family looked on high alert as soon as he mentioned it.
"I'm sorry, I misspoke!" Although Old Master Sheng was stubborn, he wasn't the type to refuse to admit his mistakes.
"Old Master Sheng didn't know beforehand, so it's not your fault!" Since the other party had already apologized, the Ji family couldn't let him drop his words.
Qiqi brought out the small cakes, her attention completely focused on the sweet cakes, and she didn't notice the strange atmosphere in the living room at all.
She even took the initiative to ask Sheng Fan, "Grandpa Sheng, what did you want to ask me just now?"
Sheng Fan: ...
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if the medicine is almost ready?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a rich medicinal aroma suddenly filled the air.
The rich aroma caused Sheng Fan's expression to change slightly.
The aroma, the intensity...
"Oh, all done." Qiqi waved her little hand, and the talisman that was working in mid-air immediately stopped.
With a wave of her hand, the suspended pot flew towards her.
The pot lid was lifted, revealing a dense array of pills inside.
Each grain is plump and round, radiating a lustrous sheen and a faint medicinal aroma.
The aroma of herbs is mixed with a hint of sweet strawberry.
Qiqi craned her neck to take a look, then frowned in dissatisfaction. "Why is there only so little?"
This little bit?
talent? !
Sheng Fan's eyes nearly popped out of his head.
There were at least a hundred of them in this pot, and she still wasn't satisfied!
If he were to use these medicines to refine medicine normally, he probably wouldn't even be able to extract ten pills.
Qiqi reached out, took out a pill, smelled it, and her disappointment was clearly visible. "Grandpa Sheng, have you been tricked? The medicinal properties of these herbs are so poor!"
My master was right; there's no such thing as a free lunch.
Free medicinal herbs, as expected, were not very effective.
She naturally wanted to use the best medicine she could make for her grandparents.
What a pity.
"What's wrong?" Sheng Fan also picked up a pill, held it to his nose, and smelled it. The medicinal fragrance was refreshing and invigorating. Sheng Fan's hands trembled with excitement. "I think it's great!"
It's better than any of the medicines he'd made before!
Is this little guy sure he's not in Versailles?!
When he looked up, he met Qiqi's disdainful gaze. The little girl's face clearly said, "Grandpa Sheng, your taste is terrible," which made Sheng Fan's heart skip a beat.
No, he genuinely felt that the medicine was already very good!
Qiqi, with an air of "Fine, I'll forgive your ignorance," said, "Grandpa Sheng, do you want these medicines? If you do, you can have them all!"
Although the medicinal properties are weaker, it can still improve physical condition and prolong life. It's just that the conditioning process may be much slower and the effects may be less.
If she were to give it to her grandparents, she would prefer a medicine with better efficacy.
"Yes, yes, I want it!" Sheng Fan couldn't have asked for more. He had been thinking about how to get Qi Qi to part with two of them so he could take them back for research.
Unexpectedly, Qiqi was willing to give him everything!
The surprise came so suddenly!
However, although he provided the medicinal materials and the refining process was far beyond his expectations, the talismans he refined were all Qiqi's, and the number of medicines produced at once also exceeded his expectations.
He wouldn't take advantage of a young girl!
"Hey, Little Qiqi, let's stick to the old rule, I'll pay for this pot of medicine!" Sheng Fan rubbed his hands together. "And that talisman you used earlier, could you sell me some of that too?"
"Grandpa Sheng wants to buy talismans?" Qiqi's big, dark eyes widened. "How many do you want to buy?"
"I'll buy as many as you have!"
Qiqi's eyes suddenly lit up like two-thousand-watt light bulbs. Wow, this Grandpa Sheng is so rich!
She immediately looked down and rummaged in her bag, pulling out a thick stack of purification talismans.
It seemed a bit too much, and she said uncertainly, "Isn't this too much? If it's not enough, Grandpa Sheng, I can let you pay on credit since you're Second Brother's teacher!"
Sheng Fan: ...
What do you mean? Does the little girl look down on him?
That's only a little money?!
Sheng Fan pulled out a black card and slapped it in front of Qi Qi. "There are two hundred million here. Shouldn't that be enough to buy your medicine and talismans?"
Two hundred million!
Qiqi's eyes widened as she counted on her fingers, trying to figure out how much two hundred million was.
Finally, we discovered that almost all ten fingers were filled with the cakes. I wonder how many of her favorite cakes could we buy with that amount of money? We probably couldn't finish them all in this lifetime!
Although she was happy, she still shook her head. "These are too many, Grandpa Sheng. That Nourishing Essence Pill isn't of very good quality, so we can't afford it for that much. And that Purification Talisman, two hundred yuan is enough for one."
"It's alright, consider the extra money as my purchase of your Nourishing Essence Pill formula." In fact, what's valuable is never the pill itself, but the formula for refining it.
Qiqi shook her head again, "The prescription isn't Qiqi's; it was given to me by my master. Grandpa Sheng, if you want to refine it and sell it to save people, that's fine too. My master... is a compassionate person; if he knew his prescription could save lives, he would be very happy!"
When her master was mentioned, the little girl's emotions visibly welled up.
Sheng Fan felt as if his heart had been pinched, and it went completely soft.
Such a well-behaved child, so lovable!
No wonder the Ji family treats her, an adopted girl, like a treasure.
He couldn't help but want to spoil such a wonderful child!
"It's alright. Since Qiqi's master is so kind, let's donate all the extra money Grandpa Sheng gave us as a way to bring good fortune to Qiqi's master." Sheng Fan reached out and patted Qiqi's head, wanting to comfort the little girl.
Qiqi raised her little face, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him, "Really? Then I'll thank Grandpa Sheng on behalf of my master!"
"You're welcome!"
ah!
The little girl had eyes like black grapes, clear and pure, which made Sheng Fan's heart melt.
She blurted out, "Little Qiqi, would you like to be Grandpa Sheng's granddaughter?!"
