The woman in white exclaimed, guarding the ink jade porcelain medicine bottle with both hands, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Junior Brother Cheng, please watch the road."
Li Ying backed away suddenly and smiled at Wang Yuanyuan who was standing in front of the door: "I'm sorry, Senior Sister Wang, I was walking a little hastily just now, did I bump into you?"
Wang Yuanyuan glanced at Li Ying and walked in: "No - Senior Sister Wang, I'm fine."
Wang Yuanyuan looked up and down Li Ying's bamboo residence, and placed the medicine bottle in her hand on the table: "This is a magical medicine that nourishes the body. Seeing that you are low on energy and blood, Senior Brother Si asked me to deliver it to you."
"This..." Li Ying approached suspiciously: "Then thank you, senior sister and brother."
"You're welcome!" Wang Yuanyuan sat down on the stool, then picked up the teacup on the table and started to pour water: "Junior Brother Cheng, you can drink it now. I'll go back and do business."
Li Ying was stunned for a moment, then said hello with a smile, then sat on the stool next to Wang Yuanyuan, picked up the porcelain bottle and poured medicine into her mouth.
"Cough... cough cough..."
"Drink slowly, no one will compete with you." Wang Yuanyuan handed the poured tea to Li Ying. After seeing her drink it, she talked with her for a while before leaving.
Li Ying rubbed the rim of the tea cup, moved her finger a little toward the throat, and spit out the tea she just drank. The medicine had been integrated into her soul and could no longer be forced out.
A top-grade elixir that nourishes the soul?!
She only met Si Jing once, how did he know that his soul and body were damaged? Why did he give her such precious medicine?
Li Ying rubbed the broken hair in front of her forehead irritably, forget it, don't think about it anymore. At most, she just thinks she owes him a favor and can repay him when she has the chance in the future.
…
In the Muyun Pavilion at the top of Xianju Peak, the atmosphere was strange.
"Xiao Zheng?"
Xiao Zheng looked at the tall and handsome young man in white who stood in front of him, frowned and said, "It's me. I wonder who you are?"
Si Jingfeng glanced at him and said in a nutshell: "Cheng Ying's senior brother. Si Jing, the director of Liuxian Sect."
Xiao Zheng felt that there was some inexplicable odor of anger in Si Jing's words, and he wondered: "I heard fellow Taoist's tone of anger, I wonder when I offended fellow Taoist?"
Si Jing shook his head gently, his eyes so deep that he seemed to penetrate Xiao Zheng's body and see his soul: "Cheng Ying has caused a lot of trouble to Fellow Daoist Xiao in the past few days. It has troubled Fellow Daoist Xiao."
"This is the black crystal stone from Beihai. It should be regarded as a thank you gift from our Immortal Sect."
Xiao Zheng looked at the palm-sized black crystal stone glowing with purple-black light that was handed to his eyes. He raised his hand to push it away and said, "No need. Fellow Daoist Cheng is sensible and knows how to advance and retreat. He has never caused any trouble to me. Fellow Daoist Si, you are serious."
Si Jing did not force it, and put the black crystal back into the storage bag, saying, "In that case, Fellow Daoist Xiao must have something important to do, so I will not keep Fellow Daoist Xiao."
Xiao Zheng frowned. He came today because he wanted to ask Cheng Ying about what happened on the wind platform yesterday.
But from what Si Jing meant, he wanted to leave alone and didn't want to disturb Cheng Ying.
Xiao Zheng thought for a while and said frankly: "Xiao came here this time to find fellow Taoist Cheng to discuss matters."
"She..." Si Jing just wanted to refuse that she was not feeling well and would discuss the matter another day. When the words came to his lips, he stopped in time.
Wang Yuanyuan saw the look in Si Jing's eyes and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Fellow Daoist Xiao is looking for Junior Brother Cheng... What a coincidence, he has just left the peak."
Xiao Zheng looked at Si Jing and saw him nodding, so he could only say: "Since it is such an unlucky coincidence, Xiao will visit again another day."
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, walk slowly."
Xiao Zheng and Si Jing bowed to each other and walked away after the ceremony.
…
"Did she drink the medicine?"
Wang Yuanyuan and Si Jing walked side by side in the depths of the peak forest on Xianju Peak. The lively look on her face during the day was replaced by calmness and solemnity. She respectfully replied: "Return to your lord, I have seen with my own eyes that Miss Cheng has indeed
Drink the elixir."
"Go again in the evening." Si Jing took out another dark green porcelain bottle from his sleeve and warned, "You must watch her drink it with your own eyes."
"Yes, Lord."
…
In the evening, Li Ying was awakened by a knock on the door while meditating. She wondered why someone would come to her after such an hour. She quickly got out of bed, ran to the door and opened the door without even putting on her shoes.
.
"Junior Brother Cheng is well!"
Li Ying blinked at Wang Yuanyuan with cat eyes, and said with a smile: "Senior Sister Wang, how are you doing? It's so late, and Senior Sister hasn't rested yet."
Wang Yuanyuan saw Li Ying's disheveled clothes and subconsciously looked away, handing out the medicine bottle in her hand: "Junior Brother Cheng, this is medicine for you to replenish your body. Senior Brother Si said that your body is too weak, so you still need to replenish it."
"..." Li Ying stared at the medicine bottle and said with a smile: "How am I weak? I am strong. The medicine in the morning has not been digested yet. I don't want this medicine. Thank you, Senior Brother Si, on my behalf."
Wang Yuanyuan smiled and said: "How can this be done? You have to drink the medicine. If you don't drink it, I will be scolded by Senior Brother Si when I go back."
Li Ying replied: "How could that be? Senior Brother Si is so gentle, considerate and considerate, he will definitely not scold such a beautiful Senior Sister Wang so harshly."
"..." Wang Yuanyuan felt uncomfortable listening to Li Ying's praise of Si Jing.
Lord, he is gentle and considerate? He is considerate?
When Wang Yuanyuan saw that Li Ying had no intention of accepting it, she suddenly wanted to pour the medicine directly into her mouth.
As long as she drinks it, no matter what method she uses, she has completed the task entrusted to her by the Lord.
Seeing her movements, Li Ying reacted faster than she did. He held the doorknob and closed the door with a "bang——".
The sound came from behind the bamboo door. Wang Yuanyuan reluctantly clenched the porcelain bottle in her hand, hesitated for a moment outside the door, and finally turned around and left.
…
Si Jing held the scroll in his hands and his voice was low and emotionless: "She doesn't want to drink?"
"This subordinate is incompetent." Wang Yuanyuan knelt on one knee on the ground, burying her head low, with a look of shame on her face: "I hope the Lord will punish me."
Si Jing raised his hand to wake up Wang Yuanyuan and said in an indifferent tone: "If she doesn't want to drink, just go down and rest."
Wang Yuanyuan nodded, bowed out, and left.
Si Jing turned the pages of the book and tapped the table with his slender white fingers. His handsome face lost a lot of its sharpness and became softer under the candlelight.
His eyes were deep, as if he wanted to see something through the pages of the book.
…
The next day, the sun was shining brightly.
Li Ying finished her night of meditation, got out of bed and stretched her muscles, then planned to go out to find Ji Yunxian.
Li Ying walked to the gate of Xianju Peak. As soon as she left the peak, she was stopped by a female voice calling from a distance: "Junior Brother Cheng! Where are you going?"
It's her again.
Li Ying turned around and looked at the ghostly Wang Yuanyuan, feeling a little regretful that she had provoked her yesterday and actually let her entangle herself.
Li Ying smiled, a little unnaturally on her face: "Senior Sister Wang, what a coincidence. Are you going to leave the peak today too?"
