This unexpected turn of events left everyone present completely stunned.
Gu Xiaochui said to Rong Zi with a look of horror, "Master, this... this fourth junior brother seems a little strange."
The fourth junior brother should be a bit older than him.
He's a grown man in his teens, but his first reaction upon waking up is to throw his head back and cry.
This...this...
What's going on?
Did his master pick up a crybaby?
A crybaby at the Golden Core stage?!
Rong Zi's brows were furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly, and her expression was indescribable. She nodded blankly, "Something is definitely not right."
Even without Gu Xiaochui saying anything, she knew this person was definitely not right.
He clearly seems to have an abnormal IQ.
Could it be... that he has intellectual disabilities?
Yun Jing thought of a possibility and tugged at Rong Zi's sleeve to ask her.
"Master, did you give him your... mental disability experience pill?"
His master had all sorts of strange and wonderful pills.
The "mentally challenged experience pill" they were given before was a pill that could make people stupid.
The time limit is 15 minutes.
According to their master, the elixir would allow them to immerse themselves in the mental world of the mentally challenged.
However, he still can't figure it out.
Why should they, as perfectly normal people, experience the mental world of the mentally challenged...?
Although all three of them had taken elixirs.
But Yun Jing remembered that none of the three of them had cried with their heads tilted back like their future fourth junior brother; they had just acted a little foolishly.
They must be considered relatively quiet intellectually disabled, right?
Rong Zi immediately and firmly denied it, "How could that be? He's my future precious apprentice, would I be willing to let him eat that stuff?"
The three apprentices who had already eaten: "..."
The future precious apprentice is reluctant to part with her.
They're willing to give it up, aren't they?
When Rong Zi saw that her three disciples' gazes were starting to turn resentful, she coughed twice and, feeling a little guilty, raised her hand to touch the tip of her nose.
Looking away from the boy who was still huddled in the corner crying, Rong Zi took a deep breath and patiently sat down on the edge of the bed.
She twitched her lips, trying her best to appear kind and approachable.
"Little Si, be good, don't cry. We're not bad people, we won't hurt you."
The boy on the bed had tears streaming down his face from crying.
He clutched the blanket tightly to his chest, sniffled, and let out a sob.
"Really?"
Seeing that there was hope, Rong Zi quickly nodded and replied, "Of course it's true."
She glanced around and saw Little Sunflower clinging to the edge of the bed. She reached out and grabbed it, handing it to the boy to coax him.
"Look how fun this is! You can play with it, okay? Please stop crying."
Little Sunflower is watching the play.
Suddenly pulled over, it immediately began to struggle in full resistance.
"Rong Zi, you, you, you... put me down right now! I'm not some little kid's toy, what's so fun about me?"
When the boy saw that the little sunflower could move and talk, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he looked at it with bright eyes, tilting his head and full of curiosity.
He reached out and grasped the roots of the little sunflower, wiped the tears from his face, and thanked Rong Zi while sobbing.
"Thank you, sister."
Rong Zi: "..."
Everyone present: "..."
elder sister?
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy calling a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl "sister"?!
The boy in front of me seemed to really like the sunflower, playing with it with great affection.
"Waaaaah, help! Don't pull my root! It's going to break! Rong Zi, help me! Someone save me... Ugh!!!"
Little Sunflower struggled and thrashed about, tilting her head back and howling like a banshee.
Perhaps disliking its cry, the boy frowned and decisively covered its mouth.
Seeing that the boy was completely captivated by the little sunflower, Rong Zi gave the little sunflower a wink, signaling it to sacrifice itself for a while, and that they would go and discuss things, and it would be over in a little while.
Immediately afterwards, the four of them walked to the side, huddled together, and began to whisper among themselves.
Ling Mo looked at Rong Zi and guessed, "Could it be that you hit him and made him stupid?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaochui and Yun Jing both looked at Rong Zi.
Gu Xiaochui asked, "Did you knock Fourth Junior Brother unconscious?"
"It shouldn't be that bad, right? A dignified Golden Core cultivator, and he's dumbfounded just because I brushed against him? Besides, I didn't even bump into his head."
"Then what's going on?" Yun Jing asked. "Could it be that Fourth Junior Brother has some kind of intellectual disability?"
Ling Mo countered, "How can someone with intellectual disabilities cultivate to the Golden Core stage?"
Gu Xiaochui echoed.
"Indeed, an idiot shouldn't be able to cultivate, right?"
Yun Jing: "So what do we do now?"
Rong Zi pondered in silence for a while.
She remembered that in the original story, there was a character who seemed to have suffered from dementia for a period of time.
However, that person was the young master of the Spirit Medicine Valley, named Qi Yufei.
He is also one of the female lead Yun Qin's admirers.
Qi Yufei is a pill cultivator.
But his alchemy practice is different from others.
Besides refining elixirs that benefit people, he also enjoys researching poison pills, and his ability to use poison is even better than his ability to use medicine.
In the future, he will become a renowned Poison Saint in the cultivation world.
However, Qi Yufei, the Poison Saint, has a well-known embarrassing story in the cultivation world.
During one of his drug manufacturing operations, he was affected by poison gas due to improper handling, which impaired his consciousness and caused him to lose his mind for a period of time.
