While Lin Qi was learning the soul mark from King Netherworld, Zhang Xueer had already led Wei Yu and Wangyue Tongzi to a large courtyard.
This is a heavily guarded courtyard. The walls alone are much higher than other courtyards, as if it is under special protection.
Moreover, the courtyard door was tightly closed, and the tightly sealed door blocked all sight lines and airflow from the outside.
Mochizuki Boyzi asked doubtfully: "Sister Xue'er, why did you bring us to the prison? Is it possible that the cook is being imprisoned here?"
Although she knew Tong Yan Wuji, Zhang Xueer was almost memorized by these words.
After being speechless for a long time, she explained: "This is not a prison, and there is no cook in it. This is my mother's residence. Because she was suffering from a serious disease and could not be exposed to wind or sunlight, the courtyard wall was built higher.
The courtyard door is closed tightly because we are worried about the invasion of wind evil."
"I'm sorry, Sister Xue'er, I didn't know it was your mother inside, I said the wrong thing." Mochizuki Tongzi apologized quickly.
Zhang Xueer sighed: "It's okay. In fact, you are right. My mother staying here is no different from staying in prison. If it weren't for me and my brother, my mother would have no longer wanted to live. Sigh."
"Sister Xue'er, don't worry. Senior Brother Lin Qi is a powerful alchemist and must be good at treating diseases. I'll invite Senior Brother Lin Qi over later, just in time to help my aunt take a look."
Hearing Wangyue Boyzi's comfort, Zhang Xueer's heart also moved. You are right. Senior Brother Lin Qi is a powerful alchemist who can refine special elixirs. He is much better than those alchemists that the family hired before. Maybe
Can you really take good care of your mother's illness?
When she thought of this, she couldn't help but want to go find Lin Qi immediately. But thinking that Lin Qi was practicing in seclusion, she had to give up and wait until tomorrow to invite Senior Brother Lin Qi.
"Miss, you are finally back! Madam has been talking about you for a long time and has been worried about you. Because of this, she has lost a lot of weight without thinking about food and drinks. Please go in and see Madam."
When the guard at the courtyard gate saw Zhang Xueer, he hurriedly bowed and said, then opened the courtyard door.
But they only let Zhang Xueer in alone, and stopped Wei Yu and Wangyue Tongzi.
"What are you doing? These are my friends!"
"I'm sorry, miss. The master has ordered that no outsiders are allowed to enter. You go in first to see my wife. We will take good care of your friend."
The guards looked businesslike and ruthless.
Although Zhang Xueer was angry, there was nothing she could do. These servants only listened to their father's orders, and it was useless to say anything themselves. She said: "Sister Wangyue, you and Wei Yu wait outside for a while while I go to see my mother."
"It's okay, sister, go ahead."
As soon as he finished speaking, the guard clicked the courtyard door shut.
Wei Yu and Wang Yue Tongzi were rejected. They both felt unhappy, but it was not easy to get angry, so they waited quietly for a long time.
Fortunately, Zhang Xueer didn't let them wait long before they heard a soft voice inside: "Invite all Xueer's friends in, or I will go out and invite them myself."
"Madam, this..."
The guard looked ugly, but he did not dare to disobey. If the lady really came out in person to suffer the cold, they would be punished with death, so they hurriedly invited Wangyue Boyzi and Wei Yu in.
At the same time, someone quickly reported the matter to the owner Zhang Dehai.
However, Zhang Dehai was worried about his inexplicable fall. When he heard the news, he just said lightly: "Those people are Xueer's friends. It's okay to invite them in, but don't let them affect Madam's rest. Do you understand?"
"My subordinate understands!"
Zhang Xueer and others had no idea what was happening here. They were already sitting around the table, and Mochizuki Tongzi was guarding the pastries on the table, eating happily.
Mrs. Zhang looked at Wangyue Boy, as if she had seen Zhang Xueer when she was a child, with a soft smile blooming on her pale face, and said: "Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry, go get some Tianxiang Ling tea for the little girl."
"Thank you, Auntie. The pastries you have here are so delicious. Why don't you eat them, Auntie?"
"I have a bad appetite. I'll give you all these things. If you like, I'll have someone make some more for you."
"That's great!"
Mochizuki boy shouted happily, his mouth full.
As for Wei Yu, he didn't say much. He sat quietly drinking tea while listening to Zhang Xueer telling her mother about her experiences these days.
When the Ten Thousand Sects Competition was mentioned, Mrs. Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up and she asked: "Xue'er, did you see any of my Qingxuan Sect's disciples during the Ten Thousand Sects Competition?"
"Qingxuanzong?"
Zhang Xueer was stunned. She suddenly remembered that her mother seemed to be from Qingxuan Sect, a first-class sect in the north. She had never gone back to Qingxuan Sect because she suffered from a serious illness. When she asked Qingxuan Sect, she obviously wanted to know about Qingxuan Sect from her own mouth.
Xuanzong’s recent situation.
However, when I participated in the Ten Thousand Sects Competition, I forgot about this and didn't care about Qingxuan Sect.
In addition, it seems that the disciples of Qingxuan Sect did not join their strange army. Instead, they were deceived into the Western camp by Lao Kun, who was under Ximen Lie. As for whether they were dead or alive, I didn't pay much attention to them at all.
After hearing her mother's question at this time, Zhang Xueer recalled this and said with shame: "I'm sorry, mother, but the disciples of Qingxuan Sect don't recognize the marshal of our Qi Army, so I didn't talk to them."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang sighed secretly and said: "Let's not talk about them. Anyway, I haven't returned to the sect for a long time. Maybe I have been expelled from the sect long ago."
After that, she changed the subject: "Xue'er, you said that Marshal Qi Jun is the Lin Qi, the leader of Tianhuo Sect you just mentioned. Your savior also came to our Zhang Family Villa today?"
"Yes, it's Senior Brother Lin Qi..."
"Our senior brother is very powerful, and he is a powerful alchemist. When he comes out of seclusion later, I will ask him to come over and treat my aunt."
Mochizuki Doji interrupted and said that she had eaten so many pastries and was short-tongued, so now she wanted to use Lynch to repay her favor, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all.
Wei Yu was speechless at the side. He couldn't understand why Mr. Lin Qi insisted on bringing this mortal little sister. He didn't even practice cultivation. He kept shouting, eating and drinking all day long like a bottomless pit. He really didn't know why.
How can such a small body hold so many things?
However, seeing how much Mr. Lin Qi loves her, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is very close. As a slave, he can only protect her and is not qualified to express his dissatisfaction.
"I won't bother this Sect Master Lin about medical treatment. I have known about my disease for so many years, and even many famous doctors, not to mention alchemists, have not seen any clues. I am just counting the days.
, one day is a day to live. I invited Sect Master Lin just to express my gratitude to him in person for his life-saving grace to Xueer!"
Mrs. Zhang said solemnly, then struggled to get up and go and invite her in person.
Zhang Xueer said quickly: "Mom, senior brother has suddenly had an enlightenment and is practicing in seclusion. When he comes out of seclusion, I will invite him over. Please don't go out to avoid catching the cold."
"Okay, okay, well, that's it. I just move a little bit, and it feels like all the bones in my body are about to fall apart. Xue'er, you entertain these two friends, and I'll rest for a while."
With that said, Mrs. Zhang closed her eyes and fell asleep slightly.
Only then could he see that her brows relaxed slightly and her face looked better.
If you look carefully, you will find that Mrs. Zhang's face is like a carefully carved work of art. She is extremely beautiful, even more beautiful than Zhang Xueer, and she has a particularly delicate and heart-wrenching temperament.
If she were allowed to go out, I don't know how many heroes would be charmed, and countless people would rush over and ask to be the flower protector.
It's a pity that she can't even move now. It can be said that she is just breathing more than a dead person.
Wei Yu couldn't help but come up with the idea that someone like Mrs. Zhang might as well just lie in the coffin. In that case, she might still be able to amaze the world as a beautiful corpse and leave a poignant legend. At least it wouldn't be like it is now.
Half-dead, even taking a breath is a punishment.
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but admire Mrs. Zhang. If it were him, he would have chosen to die long ago, but Mrs. Zhang can persist until now. This will to survive is admirable.
Even if she is counting the days, she is still living with pride. At least Mrs. Zhang endured the physical pain and knew how to thank Mr. Lin Qi personally, but Zhang Dehai did not take Mr. Lin Qi into consideration at all.
There is simply no comparison between people. It is a pity that Mrs. Zhang's flower was inserted into Zhang Dehai's pile of cow dung.
Wei Yu couldn't help but feel worthless for Mrs. Zhang!
