After being read by the mind, my apprentice wanted to rebel
Chapter 40: 2 People Captured
What Xiaoyun Sect is most in need of right now is talent. This boy is extremely gifted, and Lin Xian'er knows how precious such talent is to Xiaoyun Sect.
So, Lin Xian'er thought to herself that she had to go and see what the condition of this man's sister was. If she could be cured, then it would not be too late to discuss the next conditions; if she could not be cured, then there was no need to say anything more and she could just turn around and leave.
Thinking of this, Lin Xian'er said to the man, "Take me over to have a look."
When the man heard this, a flash of surprise and gratitude flashed in his eyes. He nodded in agreement and quickly stood up to lead the way. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would save his sister.
When Lin Xian'er followed the man to a dilapidated house, the man touched his body awkwardly, thinking to himself, "Could this immortal cultivator be unwilling to treat my sister because we are too poor?"
As he thought about this, he secretly observed Lin Xian'er's expression, fearing that she might show a hint of disdain. However, to his surprise, Lin Xian'er's face did not show any dissatisfaction or contempt.
On the contrary, her eyes revealed a gentleness and kindness, as if she didn't care about all this. The man felt a little relieved, but still a little uneasy.
After all, he knew his family's financial situation was truly poor, and if Lin Xian'er truly refused to treat his sister because of this, he couldn't force her to do so. However, he simply couldn't bear to see his sister suffer, so he could only hope that Lin Xian'er would show mercy and save her.
As the two entered the house, an unknown smell surged like a tide, rushing straight into Lin Xian'er's nose. The smell seemed to be a mixture of stale air, rotten wood, and an indescribable pungent smell.
Lin Xian'er instinctively reached out to cover her mouth and nose, trying to block out the nauseating smell. She frowned, wondering to herself, "What is this smell? Why is it so bad?"
At this moment, there was a series of urgent and short coughs, each of which sounded like it was squeezed out from an old and dilapidated bellows, which was extremely unpleasant. The coughs made people tremble in their hearts, as if they were going to cough out their hearts and lungs.
Hearing this voice, the man's face suddenly changed. His rosy face instantly turned as pale as paper, completely bloodless. He rushed forward and supported his shaky sister, patting her back anxiously, trying to relieve her discomfort.
Lin Xian'er, on the other hand, stood quietly, her eyes fixed on the woman on the bed, carefully observing her every move.
"Brother, don't waste your energy anymore, let me go," the woman said in a hoarse voice. She didn't want to implicate her brother anymore, and she was tired and didn't want to continue living like this.
The man listened to his sister's words, his heart aching. He knew his sister had lost the courage to live, but he couldn't just give up. He gently stroked her cheek, his eyes full of love and determination. "No, I won't give up! We will definitely find a cure."
Her eyes were empty and lifeless. "Brother, don't be silly. I know my physical condition very well. This disease is incurable." The woman sighed softly, her voice full of despair.
The man felt a sharp pain in his heart. He held his sister's hand tightly, as if to pass on his strength to her. "Don't worry, sister. No matter what the cost, I will find a way to cure you."
The woman shook her head slightly, tears streaming down her face. "Brother, you've done your best. I don't want to see you suffer for me. Just let me go in peace," she said with a hint of determination in her voice.
He shook his head vigorously, unwilling to accept this reality. "No, I will never let you go! You are my only family, and I will always be by your side. Don't worry, my brother has found the immortal, and she will definitely be able to cure you. I can't lose you again."
A heavy atmosphere filled the room, and the conversation between the brother and sister was incredibly poignant. Lin Xian'er knew that no matter what, he couldn't give up easily. He would exhaust all his efforts to find hope for a cure for his sister's illness.
【Tongzi, can you save me? 】
[It's difficult to treat. She must have been possessed by a demon. The demonic power and spiritual power repel each other. Add to that the heart-eating poison. In a few days, this person will probably die.]
Who could be so cruel and vicious? To actually attack such a lovely little girl, Lin Xian'er couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.
Lin Xian'er secretly speculated: "These two people will definitely encounter huge troubles in the future." After all, this cruel method is really outrageous.
Thinking of this, Lin Xian'er couldn't help but feel sorry and sympathetic for these two people.
If we accept these two people as disciples just to add some talents to the sect, it would be totally not worth it, because doing so would not only mean taking a huge risk, but also might bring many unexpected troubles to the sect.
What do you need to save someone?
[Host, I'm just a shopping system, not omnipotent! ]
It said aggrievedly, "For something like the demon seed, it would be more convenient for you to go find the male protagonist, right? As for the Heart-Eating Gu..."
After a pause, the system continued, "To resolve this problem, we first need a professional Gu Master to guide the Gu worm out of the body. This is not easy to find! And even if we do find one, it's still very troublesome. Finally, even if these problems are resolved, you'll still have to spend a lot of precious natural treasures to nourish her body. It's simply a loss-making business!"
What a hassle! Asking her to go find Xie Qijun to solve the demon seed problem is like telling Xie Qijun, "Hey, I know you're practicing magic."
Lin Xian'er muttered to herself, feeling that doing this was simply courting death.
Furthermore, she neither knew nor recognized the so-called Gu Master, nor did she care for him. Lin Xian'er had no idea what to make of this unfamiliar figure and the Gu techniques he specialized in, and she had absolutely no idea how to respond.
After much deliberation, Lin Xian'er finally decided to give up on this person. After all, his sister's condition was too special, and he wasn't completely sure he could cure her.
So she took a deep breath, looked at the man in front of her and said, "I'm sorry, your sister's situation is too special. I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do for you."
After saying this, Lin Xian'er stopped looking at the two men's desperate eyes. She knew that if she continued to watch, her heart might soften. But she clearly understood that she truly didn't have the ability to offer them any more help. So, she could only turn away, avoiding the heavy pressure and responsibility.
As the door gently closed, Lin Xian'er disappeared from the room. Only the man and his sister were left, sitting there in silence and despair, as if the whole world had lost its color.
Xie Qijun and Qi Miao, who had separated from Lin Xian'er, originally planned to wait for her in the inn, but encountered an accident.
Just as they were about to rest, they suddenly heard a noise coming from downstairs. They stood up alertly and went to the window to check what was going on.
A group of people rushed into the inn, and Xie Qijun felt that one of them looked familiar.
Chen Qingqing saw Xie Qijun and Qi Miao, and a smug smile appeared on her face. She waved her hand and signaled her men to surround the entire inn.
Xie Qijun and Qi Miao exchanged a glance, then quickly drew their swords and engaged in a fierce battle. For a moment, the inn was filled with the clashing of swords and sabers, with tables, chairs, and benches scattered throughout.
However, Chen Qingqing brought a large number of people, and their strength was not weak. Xie Qijun and Qi Miao gradually fell into a passive situation.
In the end, Xie Qijun and his companion were no match for their opponents and were captured alive. They were then forcibly taken to the Chen Mansion by Chen Qingqing and others.
Inside the Chen Mansion, Chen Qingqing looked triumphantly at the prisoner Xie Qijun, her heart filled with the joy of victory and the pleasure of revenge.
There was a cunning gleam in her eyes and an evil smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she had already seen the tragic fate that Xie Qijun was about to suffer.
"Xie Qijun, you pathetic prisoner!" Chen Qingqing sneered, "Didn't you expect this? You'd end up like this! Now that you're in my hands, I'm going to make you feel the pain of torture and humiliation!"
