Chapter 54 Growing Taller
Li Xiangxian coughed lightly. He didn't want to disturb the two of them, but he was still there. If they wanted to hug, could they find a place where no one was around?
Li Lianhua then realized her lapse in composure, blushed, released Qing'er, and introduced her to Li Xiangxian, "Brother, this is Qing'er."
Li Xiangxian smiled slightly and cupped his hands in greeting to Qing'er, saying, "Miss Qing'er."
Qing'er also said softly, "Brother Li." Then she took out a jade slip and gave it to him, "Just put this jade slip on your head, and that will be fine."
Jade? Li Xiangxian was somewhat puzzled, but he did as instructed. After placing the jade slip on it, his mind was instantly filled with a wealth of cultivation knowledge. He looked at Qing'er gratefully, "Thank you, Miss Qing'er." Qing'er smiled and waved her hand.
Li Xiangxian knew that Qing'er had helped him because of Xiang Yi. He thought to himself, "Does this mean he's now living off Xiang Yi?"
Li Lianhua looked down at Li Xiangxian, who only reached her neck, and blinked, asking, "Qing'er, will I grow taller after I start cultivating?"
Upon hearing this, Qing'er couldn't help but admire Li Lianhua's thought process. Shouldn't most people in this situation be concerned first about whether his brother could actually cultivate? Why did Li Lianhua think about height?
If Li Lianhua knew what Qing'er was thinking at that moment, he would probably cry foul. His question stemmed entirely from his trust in Qing'er. Since Qing'er said his brother could cultivate, Li Lianhua naturally believed her. In his view, if Qing'er said so, it must be true. That's why he was worried about his brother's height; how would his short brother find a wife?
At this moment, Li Xiangxian's eyes turned somewhat mysterious upon hearing his younger brother's question. He looked at Li Lianhua and said with a half-smile, "Is Xiangyi complaining that his older brother is too short?"
Li Lianhua quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no, I was just worried that you're too short to find a wife."
Lee Sang-hyun's lips twitched. "Thank you."
Li Lianhua, thick-skinned as ever, accepted with "You're welcome."
Watching their conversation, Qing'er found it somewhat amusing, but still answered Li Lianhua's earlier question: "When one's cultivation reaches a certain level, one can cultivate a physical body, and then one can grow taller."
Li Lianhua's eyes lit up: "That's great! Brother, you should cultivate diligently, and you'll be able to grow taller."
Li Xiangxian was both amused and exasperated, and nodded helplessly. It sounded as if he cultivated to grow taller. Then, as if remembering something, he hesitated and looked at Qing'er.
Qing'er noticed his expression and asked, "Brother Li, is there something you want to ask?"
"I just wanted to ask Qing'er, do you know if my parents are still alive?" Li Xiangxian hesitated for a moment before asking. Li Lianhua also looked at Qing'er.
After a moment of contemplation, Qing'er slowly said, "They have already been reincarnated."
Although Li Xiangxian and Li Lianhua felt somewhat disappointed at never seeing their parents again, they still thought it was good that they had been reincarnated and could start a new life.
Seeing their disappointed looks, Qing'er changed the subject, "Li Lianhua, take out the jade pendant you took from Shan Gudao, let Brother Li possess it, and then let him come out when we get back."
Li Lianhua hurriedly took out the jade pendant from her bosom. Li Xiangxian recognized the jade pendant. "This... isn't this the one I gave to a little beggar back then, so he could take care of Xiangyi?" Back then, they only had that beggar by their side. He was dying then and couldn't bear to leave Xiangyi, so he had no choice but to give the family heirloom jade pendant to that beggar so he could take care of Xiangyi.
