Chapter 29: Attacking the Heart
As soon as Xie Huazhao left, there was a little cold in the hall, so Xie Qingning had no choice but to let the Zheng and Yanyu make tea, and present the osmanthus cake just made today.
Lan Yongzhi, who was sitting opposite her, took the tea, thanked him politely, and waited for the zither and Yanyu to leave before asking, "Are you...... Sister Xie actually knows how to heal? ”
"I'm not proficient, I just like to study medical books, and I just know a little bit about it."
Lan Yongzhi nodded, lifted the lid of the tea and took a sip, and then said nothing.
His temperament has always been cold, Xie Qingning didn't care, but he felt that it was really stupid for the two of them to sit like this, so he had no choice but to ask, "Lan Gongzi has an excellent appearance, I'm afraid he has already broken through the mid-stage cultivation of foundation building at this moment, right?" ”
When it came to cultivation, Lan Yongzhi talked a lot, and said with a smile, "It's true that there was an opportunity for a breakthrough last month, but I felt that the Yuan Force storage was not yet complete, and the strength of the body needed to be improved, so I suppressed it temporarily." ”
"Suppression?" Xie Qingning was a little surprised, after all, the young man's heart is high, and Lan Yongzhi was personally taught by Lan Kuangtian, the head of the Lan family, so he naturally didn't want to be despised by the disciples in the clan.
Although she had some friendship with Lan Yongzhi in her previous life, she never asked him about his childhood, but she didn't know that he was so steady, and her heart was a little touched.
"Cultivation is against the sky, you must be cautious and cautious step by step, and you must not be greedy for merit," Lan Yongzhi looked at her, his eyes gradually became as sharp as a knife, "This is like building a building, if you don't lay a good foundation and only care about piling stones, no matter how high the building is, sooner or later it will collapse." Rather than regretting it in the future, it is better to start walking on thin ice now, and practice every small step to the point where there are no flaws, so that you can be perfect and not regret it when you ascend in the future. ”
Xie Qingning looked at him, his eyes were deep, and his mind gradually became a little disordered.
She lived to be more than two hundred years old, and experienced such a change to understand this truth, I didn't expect Lan Yongzhi, who is only a teenager this year, to think so thoroughly, and take this as a criterion to move forward step by step, no wonder that when Lan's cultivation heart sutra is not a masterpiece, she can still go hand in hand with her in her previous life, and the scenery is infinite.
She couldn't help but think of her previous life, after she passed the Yuan Infant Period, she rose step by step, without any hindrance, but Lan Yongzhi had not advanced for several years, and the gap with her was getting bigger and bigger, and the friendship between the two became more and more shallow, and finally it was silent and faint.
Xie Qingning was later busy rectifying the Xie family, and he had no intersection with Lan Yongzhi, who stayed in Shengjing, the central capital, so that he had no memory of what cultivation he later achieved, what he did, and what his plans were in the future, so he had to smile self-deprecatingly, pretending to bow his head and drink tea to hide the sadness in his eyes.
As if sensing that she was in a bad mood, Lan Yongzhi didn't speak again, and the two were relatively silent for half an hour, before Xie Huazhao forcibly pulled Xie Lingfeng over, and as soon as he entered the room, he shouted, "Seventh sister, hurry up, Xie Tan's illness can't be delayed." ”
Xie Qingning raised his head, just opposite Xie Lingfeng's gaze, his expression was a little gloomy, he must have been very dissatisfied with Xie Huazhao's forced persecution, but after all, he didn't dare to offend, so he could only stand in the hall with an annoyed face, and when he looked at her from afar, his body straightened slightly, as if this was the only way to show his inner unyielding and proud.
Xie Qingning didn't care about his immature behavior, put down the teacup in his hand and said, "You help Xie Tan to the guest room in my backyard first, my bamboo courtyard rarely comes on weekdays, but I am not afraid of being discovered." ”
Since she said this, it meant that she wanted to place Xie Tan here, Xie Huazhao was worried about where to hide him, and he was overjoyed when he heard the words, "It's okay, I'll come to see him when I have time, and I won't let you carry this black cauldron, Seventh Sister." ”
"It doesn't matter." Xie Qingning chuckled, she didn't mind carrying any black pot, but she didn't want to be known by the Xie family when she invited the third senior brother to pick up Xie Tan's bones in the future, because of Xie Zhongshu's nature, if she knew that the master was a master outside the world, she would not be flattering and flattering? And she only hopes that the master and her brothers can continue to travel the world freely like in their previous lives, and she can't be a drag on the master.
After Xie Tan was settled, Xie Qingning said, "Third brother, can you and Lan Gongzi avoid it?" ”
"We?" Xie Huazhao was stunned for a moment, turned his head and glanced at Lan Yong, although the expressions of the two were a little unhappy, they also knew that Xie Qingning must have a deep meaning in doing this, they were not good at making it difficult for others, so they could only retreat.
After closing the door, Xie Qingning said to Xie Lingfeng, who was standing stiffly beside the bed, "You just have to do everything to freeze him, and I will do the rest." ”
Xie Lingfeng frowned, and only asked after a while, "Although I am a water system spirit root, I can only cultivate in the late stage of qi refining, and it may not be easy to completely freeze him, why does Miss Seven have to embarrass me?" ”
Knowing that he was reluctant in his heart, if he was distracted when casting spells later, it would be difficult to concentrate, and something went wrong would not only make Xie Tan die in Huangquan, but also affect him to be eaten by spiritual power, Xie Qingning could only say, "First, I don't know many friends in the water system, and you are the only one." ”
Hearing the word "friend", Xie Lingfeng's expression was slightly shocked, but he just looked at her and pursed his lips, but did not answer.
"Second, I heard that your mother has been sick for many years, and your mother and son have to attach themselves to the Xie family. If you are willing to help me, I will also repay you in the future, help you heal your mother's illness, and let you devote yourself to the world of cultivation. ”
If Xie Lingfeng was slightly shocked because she was willing to be commensurate with a defeated subordinate and a "friend" of a side branch disciple who was not favored by the Xie clan, then Xie Qingning's second promise made him even more dazed, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Although he thought in his heart that even Mr. Zheng couldn't cure his mother's illness, he could cure it with her little orphan girl? But Lenovo Xie Huazhao didn't ask Mr. Zheng to come forward, but was willing to beg her to treat Xie Tan, who was blind, could it be that this girl is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and she can't hide it deeply?
Seeing that he still had doubts, Xie Qingning felt that it was better to use both prongs and make him willing to use it for himself, so he muttered, "Xie Lingfeng, have you ever thought about why even Mr. Zheng can't cure your mother's illness?" What's more, with Xie's ability, how could it be that even an ordinary patient could not be completely cured, did they really not have this ability? ”
"What do you mean by that?" Xie Lingfeng's eyes were slightly sharp, and his brows were furrowed.
"If I were the head of the Xie family, I naturally wouldn't want to cure your mother, after all, you are a rare disciple of the water system spiritual root, and your future in the future is limitless. But if you really come to that time, you are not a direct disciple of the Xie family, and you may not be of the same heart and mind as them, in case you have to choose other high branches in the future, wouldn't the Xie family waste all these years of thinking on you in vain? Xie Qingning's words hit the nail on the head, causing Xie Lingfeng to stop breathing.
