Chapter 26 Gift of Medicine
In the middle of the night, Xie Qingning ordered Yanyu to quietly deliver a letter to the little guy in the third room, and it didn't take long for Xie Huazhao to hurry over, and saw her practicing swords in the bamboo forest from a distance. ”
Hearing this, Xie Qingning took the sword around a beautiful sword flower, and wiped the fine sweat from the corners of his forehead with a wave of his sleeve before smiling, "The third brother came quickly, if it weren't for the situation, I wouldn't have to bother you late at night." As she spoke, she walked towards Xie Huazhao, and took out a small black brocade box from her arms and handed it to him, "This pill can cure the poison in Xie Huayan's body, you can send it to the main courtyard and give it to Mrs. Qin, but please don't tell others that I gave it, okay?" ”
Xie Huazhao was stunned for a moment, took the brocade box in surprise and opened it and smelled it, the pill was bitter and fragrant, revealing a faint cyan color under the moonlight, which looked very precious. He closed the lid and thought for a moment before asking, "Can you tell me where you got this antidote?" ”
Xie Qingning smiled bitterly, "Third brother, don't ask, you know too much about many things, and it's not good for you." ”
"But ......,"
"Okay, don't worry, no matter how bad Xie Huayan is to me, she is also a member of the Xie family after all, since I inadvertently got the antidote, naturally I can't watch her die of poison, right? I hope that the third brother will help me keep it secret. ”
Seeing that she was so persistent, Xie Huazhao had no choice but to accept the antidote suspiciously, turned around and walked two steps before turning back and asking, "Why haven't you been going to the academy these days?" Today, my uncle met me and asked about it. ”
Xie Qingning has been thinking about what excuse she can find to hide her temporary visit to Xie's Academy, just when Xie Huazhao asked, she said, "I was trying to talk to you about this matter, but I have been busy and haven't found a chance, since the eldest uncle is also concerned about me, then I have to trouble the third brother to help me reply, just say that I entered the time a few days ago and suddenly blessed my soul, and the dantian moved, presumably touching the barrier to break through, so I haven't stepped out of the bamboo courtyard for five days, just waiting for the retreat to be promoted." ”
"What? You...... You're going to break through? Xie Huazhao was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What barrier are you trying to break through?" Late stage of Qi refining or Great Perfection? ”
"No, it's the foundation building period."
Xie Huazhao suddenly felt like he had been struck by lightning, and only after a while did he ask dumbfounded, "...... You...... Are you already in the realm of the Great Perfection of Qi Refining? ”
"Indeed." Xie Qingning stood with a smile, and the moonlight was sprinkled on her, making her jade face more and more bright like the first snow, and the scorching splendor made people dare not look at it for a long time.
"Oh my God, you're only six years old!" Xie Huazhao screamed for a long time, then suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist and turned to leave, saying as he walked, "This is really a great joy, I heard that Lan Yongzhi also broke through the foundation building period at the age of six, and he was the same year as you. Since you are so good, you have to tell the eldest uncle the good news, let him celebrate for you, and you can also frustrate the spirit of the Han clan and let them be honest and peaceful. ”
Unexpectedly, they had just taken two steps before Xie Qingning broke free of his hand, Xie Huazhao stopped in surprise, turned to look at her calm but solemn expression, blinked his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Xie Qingning suddenly bowed and said solemnly, "Third brother, I told you privately because I respect you as my brother, and I hope you can help me keep it secret." ”
"This ...... Why keep it secret? Xie Huazhao was confused, Xie Qingning slowly got up and said, "What does the third brother think of my current situation?" ”
Xie Huazhao thought for a moment and did not speak.
"The third brother must have known that half a month ago, Mrs. Qin insisted on driving me out of the house, right?" Xie Qingning smiled bitterly, "I am an orphan girl, and I am not recognized by the fourth room, as long as I have not been recorded in the genealogy of the Xie family, I can only be regarded as a casual cultivator living in Xie Mansion. ”
Xie Huazhao's face changed slightly, and he said after a while, "That'...... Do you need me to find the fourth uncle and ask him to recognize you back to the fourth room? ”
If he wanted to admit it, how could he wait until now? Since since I was born, Sifang has not recognized my intention of returning home, and I naturally have not been so brazen as to think that I am Miss Xie's daughter. ”
"But," Xie Huazhao frowned, "If Fourth Uncle knew about your cultivation today, he would definitely rule out the public opinion and take you back." ”
"If it were you, would you want such a gift?" Xie Qingning asked rhetorically, Xie Huazhao was really silent, and only sighed after a while, "The fourth uncle's temperament is indeed weaker, but he doesn't really care about you, it's just that the fourth aunt is too strong, and the eldest uncle is ......, but it's a pity that Aunt Lan is not from my third room, otherwise my father would have taken her back to the house to recuperate, how could she have been sent under the fence and lived so desolate!" ”
Xie Qingning saw that he understood his suffering, his eyes flashed slightly, but he didn't say anything more.
"In that case, I'll hide it for you, but the eldest uncle ......,"
"I also asked the third brother to help me ask for leave from my eldest uncle, just saying that I want to retreat and break through the late stage of qi refining, okay?"
"There are two small steps missing, it's really ......," Xie Huazhao was a little displeased, but did not persuade again, but left in response, looking at his back in a hurry, Xie Qingning turned to look in the northwest direction, three miles away, is the courtyard of the Xie family's four rooms, where her mother was born and grew up, but now she has a home and can't return, it's really ironic to think about it.
