So, does this count as her stealing Gao Zhenzhen's master?
However, this Dan Palace Master wasn't entirely honest. He'd been to the Zhenguo Marquis's Mansion three days prior, and now he'd been struck half to death by lightning? And it just so happened to have landed right in front of her? Was he kidding me?
Ling Xiang smiled casually: "Senior, I have very high expectations of my master."
"Oh?" Helian Xiao said immediately after hearing Ling Xiang's words, "Tell me about it. I have confidence."
Ling Xiang curled her lips and said whatever was outrageous:
"My master can only have me as his disciple. He must treat me well, protect me, and give me the best things for the rest of his life. No matter who has a conflict with me, he must stand by me unconditionally. Most importantly, he can be my guide on the road of life, but he cannot interfere in my life."
Helian Xiao said without hesitation: "These are what a master should do. They are not requests. I will agree to them."
After saying this, he sat up straight, ready to drink tea from his apprentice.
It is said that men's words can deceive people. Ling Xiang did not believe what he said. She only wanted to see if he could really do it:
"Senior, I'm sure you've heard that His Majesty the Prince of Qin and I were married by His Majesty. However, even though I was his fiancée, in order to treat Gao Zhenzhen's heart disease, His Majesty the Prince of Qin didn't hesitate to capture me and bleed her. He even kidnapped my people in the mansion to blackmail me.
"To protect the entire Zhenguo Marquisate, I have no choice but to agree to bloodletting and add it to Gao Zhenzhen's Heart Protecting Pill. Now, I want to ask you, can human blood really cure heart disease?"
Helian Xiao frowned, he didn't expect such a thing to happen.
He had seen the bloody Heart Protecting Pill before. Comparing it with the medicine Ling Xiang gave him, it was not difficult to tell that the Heart Protecting Pill was indeed made by Ling Xiang.
"No." Helian Xiao shook his head. "If human blood could cure diseases, what would be the need for alchemists? However, in the techniques of evil cultivators, human blood has many uses, and has always been despised by cultivators."
Ling Xiang bowed and said, "If you can seek justice for me, I, Ling Xiang, will be willing to be your disciple."
Xuanyuan Qi only found out today that Nangong Yu captured the people from the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion in order to force Ling Xiang to bleed for Gao Zhenzhen to drink!
How could he be so excessive!
Xuanyuan Qi slammed the table and stood up: "Ling Xiang, you don't need anyone else's help, I will go and seek justice for you right now!"
Xuanyuan Qi walked out with big strides, looking so aggressive that it was scary to look at.
However, he had only taken a few steps when he found that he could not move.
Helian Xiao released his imposing aura to stop Xuanyuan Qi, saying, "Young man, don't be impulsive. Since Xiang'er wants me to take charge, I will definitely make those who bully her pay the price."
If Xuanyuan Qi tried his best, he would not be unable to break free from Ling Zun's pressure, but he is now Xuanyuan Qi, the King of Huai, an ordinary person who cannot practice cultivation.
He couldn't be exposed, at least not yet.
"Let me go!" Xuanyuan Qi was very unhappy. "You are you, and I am the king. I don't care what you want to do, and don't stop me from doing what I want to do!"
Helian Xiao still didn't let go of Xuanyuan Qi and analyzed:
"You can't defeat him. Once the evil cultivator's affairs are exposed, he will become the common enemy of thousands of cultivators. If you expose this matter, you will only alert the enemy and may even get yourself hurt. Listen to my advice, don't get involved, let me handle it."
"Yes, Your Highness, let the seniors handle it." Ling Xiang agreed.
Xuanyuan Qi finally gave up: "Okay, since you want to go, Chengxuan Lingzun, I can say the ugly words upfront. If you protect them, I will never give you the opportunity to get close to Ling Xiang! You want to accept a disciple, wait for the next life!"
Helian Xiao let go of Xuanyuan Qi and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Ling Xiang blinked, making sure Helian Xiao had left, and looked at Xuanyuan Qi: "Your Majesty, thank you for protecting me so much."
Xuanyuan Qi walked up to Ling Xiang, his face stern: "Ling Xiang, Nangong Yu bullied you so much, why didn't you tell me?"
Ling Xiang frowned: "Your Highness, I am very clear-headed. If I tell others about this kind of thing, they may not believe me, and it may even offend the King of Qin. If it weren't in front of Cheng Xuan Lingzun, I would definitely not mention this matter."
In fact, the main reason she mentioned this matter was to help Helian Xiao see Gao Zhenzhen's true face so that he would not be deceived by her.
Xuanyuan Qi suddenly reached out and pulled Ling Xiang into his arms: "From now on, I will protect you!"
Ling Xiang shuddered, her heart skipping a beat. She quickly pushed Xuanyuan Qi away and said, "Your Highness, it's forbidden for men and women to touch each other!"
Xuanyuan Qi was very frustrated by the girl's attitude of avoiding him. He said arrogantly, "Other women want to get close to me, but I don't want them to! Ling Xiang, you are the only one who doesn't know how to appreciate the blessing you have!"
Ling Xiang looked at Xuanyuan Qi with surprise, then looked again, the corner of her mouth twitching: "Your Highness, just think that I don't know what is good for me. This great blessing, why don't you give it to someone else."
"Ling Xiang, you really are..." Xuanyuan Qi was so angry that his liver ached. He wished he could smash Ling Xiang's head to see what was inside.
In order to avoid being hurt by Ling Xiang, Xuanyuan Qi decisively chose to leave.
Ling Xiang finally got some peace and quiet and entered the space to check the growth of the Ksitigarbha Vine.
As soon as she entered, Qin Ling Xiao Qi cried and threw herself into her arms: "Wuwu, Master, everyone bullies me, even the new grass bullies me, Wuwu, Master, you have to make the decision for me."
Ling Xiang picked up Xiao Qi and looked at the place where the Ksitigarbha vine was transplanted.
The Ksitigarbha vine is highly poisonous, so she had previously transplanted it in a flowerpot.
At this moment, the Ksitigarbha vine in the flowerpot is growing well, and the Ksitigarbha vine fruits on it have turned red and are about to mature.
Ling Xiang put her hands on her hips and looked at Xiao Qi: "It's so well-behaved, how can it bully you?"
Xiao Qi stretched out his hand, revealing his pricked finger: "It pricked me."
Ling Xiang frowned as he looked at the broken skin on Xiao Qi's finger. There was no sign of poison. Thinking Xiao Qi was lying, he threatened, "The Ksitigarbha Immortal Vine is extremely poisonous. If you were pricked by it, you would be dead."
Xiao Qi quickly hugged Ling Xiang's thighs: "Woo woo, Xiao Qi doesn't want to die, Xiao Qi can't die yet, Master, please save Xiao Qi!"
Ling Xiang raised an eyebrow: "Birth, aging, sickness and death are the normal state of the world. Everyone will die, so why can't you die?"
Xiao Qi whimpered: "I just can't die! Master still has tasks for me to do, wuwu, I can't die!"
Ling Xiang didn't understand Xiao Qi's confusing words. Although she had indeed assigned farming to Xiao Qi as a task, it wasn't that important.
"Don't worry, if you die, I will find a pet that can farm to take over your job in a minute. You can go with peace of mind."
"Ah, woo, woo!" Xiao Qi was even more sad. "Master, you can't give up on Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi really has a very important mission!"
